Of course, Meng Zitao didn't misunderstand Kang Yan, he thought about it and felt that this was good, it was equivalent to accumulating fame for himself, and it could also deepen Xie Mingxu's impression of him.

"Mr. Xie, if you are not at ease, you can also find someone else to take a look. Alternatively, I will contact one of my elders to see if he has time. ”

Being said by Kang Yan, Xie Mingxu was a little uneasy, but it was not convenient for him to say this matter in front of Meng Zitao, and when he saw Meng Zitao say this, he took over and said: "Xiao Meng, I don't know who your elder is?"

Meng Zitao said: "Wang Zhixuan, the shopkeeper of Zhengyixuan, I don't know if you have any impressions. ”

Xie Mingxu was stunned at first, and said happily: "Xiao Meng, what you said, how can I not know President Wang." ”

"Then I'll contact him first......"

Meng Zitao took out his mobile phone and contacted Wang Zhixuan, who happened to be in the store now. So, Meng Zitao said the matter briefly, Wang Zhixuan was very interested in it, and immediately agreed.

Meng Zitao put away his mobile phone and said, "He is in the store now." ”

Xie Mingxu couldn't wait to say, "That's okay, let's go now." ”

"Row ......"

Meng Zitao nodded, before leaving, he also handed over the USB flash drive given to him by Lao Song to Kang Yan, and he didn't care about the next thing, anyway, Zhu Junda should not have a good ending.

In fact, Meng Zitao also understands that he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, anyway, he is going to resign and leave the company, no matter how Zhu Junda is, it has nothing to do with him.

However, Zhu Junda not only embarrassed him in the office all the time, but also let that girl ruin his reputation, which made him feel extremely angry and disgusting. There is a way to take revenge and revenge, and there is revenge, even if Zhu Junda hates himself, he has to solve it with his own hands. ……

Xie Mingxu's car is a high-end off-road vehicle, which matches his personal style well.

Not long after the car started, Xie Mingxu asked, "Xiao Meng, can I ask you a question?"

You say. ”

"Isn't it easy to see that Kangxi like me imitates a chicken bowl cup?" Xie Mingxu asked.

Meng Zitao understood what he meant, so he said: "How can I say this, the antique industry is broad and profound, and the experts are generally specialized in the art industry, if you let the experts of calligraphy and painting to identify porcelain, it may not be as good as the senior collectors who collect porcelain." ”

Xie Mingxu nodded, and then asked, "Then do you recognize Xi Zhengzhen?"

Meng Zitao nodded, the antique street in Ling City was not big, how could he not know the owner of Shang Guzhai, who was about the same age as Zheng Yixuan?

It's just that although this Shanggu Zhai is not short for a long time, and its reputation is similar to that of Zhengyixuan, people in the industry actually don't like to go to Shanggu Zhai to buy things, because the price of things here is too expensive.

However, although the thing is expensive, Shangguzhai is true, even if the thing is a fake, as long as the evidence is sufficient, it can be refunded unconditionally.

In addition, Xi Zhengzhen is good at drilling camps, and Shang Guzhai is still very popular with those bosses who love antiques in Ling City.

In addition, unlike Wang Zhixuan, Xi Zhengzhen may have much worse eyesight than Wang Zhixuan because his mind is full of thoughts about drilling camps.

Since Xie Mingxu said so, Meng Zitao didn't have to guess to know that the pair of chicken bowl cups was identified by Xi Zhengzhen, so he said: "The shopkeeper Xi mainly studies bamboo and wood tooth horns. ”

The implication is that Xi Zhengzhen is not good at porcelain.

Xie Mingxu nodded, and then fell silent.

Looking at Xie Mingxu's slightly gloomy face, Meng Zitao knew that he must be angry in his heart.

However, with Meng Zitao's understanding of Xi Zhengzhen, presumably Xi Zhengzhen should have made a bottom before giving a conclusion, even if Xie Mingxu asked Xi Zhengzhen to settle accounts, it would be useless.

Xie Mingxu parked the car, and Meng Zitao took him to Zhengyixuan.

Since it was a Monday, the store was deserted and there were not a single customer. I saw Wang Menghan crawling on the counter playing a small game on his mobile phone, and Wang Zhixuan was holding a garlic bottle and looking at it carefully.

Noticing that Meng Zitao had brought Xie Mingxu in, Wang Zhixuan put the garlic bottle on the Bogu shelf, and then greeted him

Through Meng Zitao's introduction, after greeting each other, Wang Zhixuan took the two into the reception room.

When Wang Menghan served tea, Xie Mingxu couldn't wait to take out the pair of chicken bowl cups and ask Wang Zhixuan to appreciate them.

As soon as Wang Zhixuan saw the real thing, his eyes suddenly lit up, put on his gloves, took the cup in his hand and observed it carefully, and after more than ten minutes, he raised his head and asked, "Xiao Meng, what was your opinion before?"

Meng Zitao repeated what he had said before.

"That's a good point!"

Wang Zhixuan nodded again and again when he heard this, and on the basis of what Meng Zitao said, he added a few more points, and said: "In general, just like Xiao Meng said, this is a pair of relatively rare Kangxi imitation Chenghua chicken bowl cups. ”

Since Wang Zhixuan said so, Xie Mingxu didn't have anything to worry about, and he asked again: "President Wang, I don't know if you can estimate them?"

Seeing Wang Zhixuan looking at him, Meng Zitao said, "I previously estimated it at three million. ”

Wang Zhixuan smiled slightly, and said honestly: "This price is a little conservative, I think it should be around three million two hundred thousand." Of course, this is also because the chicken bowl cups are paired, otherwise, the value would not be so high. ”

In the antiques market, in general, pairs of artworks are often more than twice the value of a single piece, and many collectors often pay several times or even dozens of times more than a single piece of art in order to pursue the "other half".

Meng Zitao saw that he had underestimated 200,000 yuan, so he apologized to Xie Mingxu, and thought in his heart that he still lacked some experience in valuation. Like this pair of chicken bowl cups, the unit price should be about 1.45 million, because they are all rare masterpieces, so the value is on the basis of twice the value, and it will be increased a little.

Xie Mingxu hurriedly said that it didn't matter, although Meng Zitao underestimated 200,000, but after all, he was a young man, and his lack of experience was understandable, besides, if it wasn't for Meng Zitao, he didn't know when he would know the truth, if he accidentally destroyed the chicken bowl cup, then he would want to cry without tears.

Xie Mingxu is a businessman, and he has accumulated a lot of work during this time because of the matter of this pair of chicken bowls, so he said a few polite words, left two red envelopes, and went back. However, before leaving, he also wished Meng Zitao success in his career.

After sending Xie Mingxu away, Wang Zhixuan said to Meng Zitao: "What, you resigned, what are you going to do after you resign?"

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "I want to enter the antique industry." ”

Wang Zhixuan said: "Oh, tell me, what do you think about it?"

Meng Zitao said: "I have always had the idea of starting a business in my heart, and I want to come out and work hard while I am young, even if I fail, there is room for redemption." The reason why I chose to trade antiques is mainly based on my interest in antiques, and after four years of study, I feel that my eye can handle the business. ”

Wang Zhixuan nodded and said: "It's not bad for you to think so, but I want to remind you that the antique industry is very deep, and if you want to succeed, you must put in a lot of effort and sweat." ”

Meng Zitao said with a solemn expression: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I have also thought about this matter carefully, and I have already prepared for the worst in my heart. I'm going to practice my stall first, and if I have the chance, I'll open a shop. ”

In fact, Meng Zitao's sincere idea is to rely on his ability to accumulate some sources of goods and funds to open a store, accumulate contacts during the period, and when the time is almost right, it will be a matter of course to open a store.

Wang Zhixuan said: "Okay, since you already have an idea, then I won't say more." In this way, I will introduce you to a person, and you can also find him to solve the problem of supply. ”

In fact, with Wang Zhixuan's connections, he can give Meng Zitao more support, but as the old saying goes, if you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow, and if a small tree grows, it must be watered by wind and rain. Sometimes, if you help too much, it will be harmful.

Meng Zitao hurriedly expressed his gratitude, speaking of which, in terms of the supply of antiques, he is really a shortcoming.

Generally speaking, there are several channels for antique dealers to purchase goods.

The first is door-to-door acquisition, just like the aforementioned shoveling of land does. There are also informants who contact old houses and so on.

Second, as mentioned above, the cross-selling between antique dealers is also a channel for antique dealers to purchase goods. If you hear that a "person in the industry" has got a batch of pretty goods, everyone will find a way to let him even bring one or two pieces.

In addition, if someone comes to buy antiques and has no goods in their hands, on the premise of ensuring success, they can also take it from their peers and make a difference in price, which is also another way for antique dealers to make a fortune.

There are also pawnshops that are also a source of purchase for antique dealers. Because pawnshops have to take into account the liquidity of money, as long as there is money to be made, things will be sold, so that those collateral that is not redeemed at maturity, that is, the so-called dead pawn, will be cheap to pick up.

In addition to the three points mentioned above, visiting the ghost market is also a way. Don't underestimate the "ghost market", there are endless business opportunities. Many things that cannot be handled clearly are likely to be sold on the ghost market.

Of course, there are some risks in this, but everyone doesn't care much about it, and Meng Zitao won't be drunk and sober alone.

Among these four methods, in addition to visiting the ghost market, they all need connections, and for Meng Zitao, he lacks the most in this regard. He had mentioned the problem of supply to Lao Liu in a joke before, and Lao Liu also said that there was no problem, but after all, Lao Liu was just a hawker, how much could he solve?

Therefore, Wang Zhixuan's help was undoubtedly a relief to Meng Zitao, and he was very grateful in his heart.
