Chapter 259: Willing to Gamble and Lose?
Bai Lao continued: "Of course, the psychological price of a thing is different for everyone, and I can't say that the value of this jade must be more than 1.2 million, but no matter what, I don't think it can be lower than 1 million, otherwise it will not match its own value." β
Having said that, based on Bai Lao's identity in the antique world of Shangdu, he said that this jade is worth 1.2 million, and there are such detailed reasons, if it is sold, it is basically unlikely to be lower than this value.
At this time, in the face of the results that he couldn't refute, Ai Xuan's heart was full of mixed feelings and chagrin, but fortunately, fortunately, he was fortunate in the misfortune, so far, he has not been ashamed, otherwise, it would be too late.
Thinking of this, Ai Xuanqiang put up a smile and said, "Senior Brother Meng, since this is the case, I will take the money you paid just now, you report the bank card number, and I will transfer it to you immediately." β
Li Jingfu hurriedly said: "****, after all, this matter is the fault of our store, and it is up to our store to bear it." β
Ai Xuan smiled: "As the old saying goes, I am willing to lose the bet, and I still have this money." β
Li Jingfu saw that Ai Xuan's words were a little angry, and he was quite helpless in his heart, so he could only follow Ai Xuan's thoughts.
Meng Zitao was not very polite, and directly reported his bank account number.
Ai Xuan immediately called and transferred the money to Meng Zitao. During this period, he noticed Meng Zitao's indifferent demeanor, and the fire in his stomach rushed up at once, because he felt that Meng Zitao's attitude was contempt for him.
Thinking that Meng Zitao didn't give any explanation for this jade artifact before, he thought that this was because Meng Zitao wanted to dig a pit for him to jump, and Meng Zitao was a sinister villain in his eyes.
It is true that Meng Zitao did have this idea before, but Ai Xuan himself did not want to think about it, if it were not for his ill will towards Meng Zitao. How could Meng Zitao take such a hand? What's more, if it weren't for his ability, it wouldn't have been Meng Zitao who made a fool of himself in the end?
But will Ai Xuan think so? Obviously, he won't, and if he does, he won't be incompatible with Lu Wenle, let alone be so small-bellied. will sprinkle his anger towards Lu Wenle on Meng Zitao's head.
Because of this, Meng Zitao didn't care about Ai Xuan's attitude at all, if Ai Xuan wanted to deal with him, he had to be prepared to break a few of his teeth in advance.
After transferring the account, Ai Xuan and Zhuo Chenghao said goodbye and left together.
Li Jingfu hurriedly apologized to Meng Zitao and said, "Teacher Meng, I'm really sorry, today's incident is a mistake in our work. β
Meng Zitao smiled: "Actually, for me. The more things like this, the better, as for him, hehe......"
Li Jingfu understood who the "he" in Meng Zitao's mouth was referring to, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. To say, Ai Xuan's achievements in the calligraphy and painting industry are indeed very high, and he is indeed ranked among the top few in the calligraphy and painting industry in Shangdu, but Ai Xuan's mind is indeed not broad-minded. After today's incident, he is expected to be a little implicated.
Of course. Li Jingfu is not afraid of Ai Xuan, it's just that businessmen don't want trouble.
Meng Zitao pondered for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper Li, I don't know what you think of the pair of blue and white general jars?"
Li Jingfu was a little surprised: "Are you talking about the pair of blue and white landscape general jars?"
"Yes. Meng Zitao nodded.
The pair of blue and white landscape general jars were purchased by Li Jingfu himself, so they are very familiar. He recalled carefully for a moment and said: "I personally handled the pair of general jars, and I didn't think there was any problem, if you think there is any problem, Mr. Meng, just say it." β
"If I'm not mistaken. That pair of generals has a demonic aura. β
The reason why Meng Zitao mentioned this awakening was because Li Jingfu had a better attitude towards his own side just now, except for a little regret at the beginning, he didn't show much negative feelings.
It is precisely because of this that Meng Zitao will sell him a good one, and another reason is that he also wants to know the origin of the pair of generals' jars.
Li Jingfu arched his hand: "Shopkeeper Meng, can you ask one or two?"
"Of course ......"
The group came to the next room again, and Meng Zitao gave a detailed explanation of the problem of the general's jar.
Li Jingfu smiled bitterly: "With such a process, how many people can find out the problem?"
Bai Lao also nodded sympathetically.
Meng Zitao said: "Actually, it's not so terrifying, if you encounter this kind of artifact next time, you can also see it in the method I just said." β
"Then thank you Meng Zitao. Li Jingfu smiled.
Bai Lao thought of the key point and asked, "If that's the case, does it mean that these things are all from the same person?"
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "It's just that the raw materials come from the same place, and the level of the people who make zuΓ² is high and low." However, please keep them confidential. β
Li Jingfu and Bai Lao knew that the matter might be a little strict, and immediately said that they would not mention it to others.
Meng Zitao continued: "So, if it is convenient for the shopkeeper, can you tell me the origin of the things?"
Li Jingfu smiled bitterly: "It's quite ashamed to say this, this pair of general cans was obtained after I went to my friend's hometown and heard about it by chance, and now I look at it, I should have stepped on a mine." At that time, I also made a special inquiry, and the surrounding villagers said that his ancestor had indeed been an official, but I didn't expect it to be impossible to prevent it. β
Bai Lao has a deep understanding of Li Jingfu's experience and vigilance, and he couldn't help but sigh when he heard the words: "Now in our industry, there is really a bit of a magic taste, even if you are careful, a little negligence can make people regret it for life." β
Meng Zitao also nodded yes.
Everyone said a few things about "stepping on thunder" one after another, and Meng Zitao asked Li Jingfu for the address of his friend's hometown, and was ready to sue Master SΓΉ and let him deal with it.
At noon, Li Jingfu invited Meng Zitao to dinner, and then separated.
Coming out of the hotel, Li Jingfu saw that Bai Lao was very guilty about the jade matter, so he smiled and said: "Bai Lao, people are not sages, and I have also understood, you also said at the time that you still have some questions." β
Bai Lao waved his hand: "Let's do it according to the rules." β
Knowing that it was difficult to change what Bai Lao decided, Li Jingfu could only agree.
Bai Lao then asked: "By the way, you should know that there is a conflict between the two of them, why did they let them touch each other?"
Li Jingfu frowned and said: "I don't know where Ai Xuan got the news, and I came here in time, even if I wanted to make an excuse, I couldn't do it at that time." β
"Who did you ask to pick it up today?"
"Xiao Li. β
"Needless to say, it has something to do with Xiao Li. β
Li Jingfu was a little unconvinced: "Probably not, Xiao Li is quite reliable." β
Bai Lao said: "No, you just ask, anyway, no matter who it is, people who eat inside and outside must not want it." β
Li Jingfu sneered in his heart, if he found out, it would not just be "can't be wanted".
On the other side, Meng Zitao, who had obtained a piece of jade, was no longer in a hurry to prepare for the charity auction.
In the afternoon, he and Dajun visited two museums in Shangdu.
Among them, the Central Plains Provincial Museum is still very rich in collections, especially the porcelain pieces of Junguan kiln and Ru kiln, and there are many national treasure-level old kiln heavy vessels, which are worth seeing.
As for the Shangdu Museum, it is mainly unearthed Shang Dynasty bronzes, without porcelain, and Mencius Tao also has a taste to see.
The next day, Meng Zitao and the army went to the Shangdu Antique City together.
When he was about to arrive at the antique city, Meng Zitao saw a retro-style building from a distance, with vermilion doors and windows, gray city brick walls, and golden glazed tiles.
When he got closer to the antique city, Meng Zitao saw that there was an independent pavilion on the top of the building, and with his eyes, the "Sunset Building" plaque was clearly visible. In fact, the antique city was built on the site of the "Sunset Tower".
This "sunset building" was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, is one of the eight famous buildings of the Tang and Song dynasties, and has been as famous as the Yellow Crane Tower, the Stork Tower, the Yueyang Tower, etc. Countless famous people throughout history have left a large number of hymns.
For example, "the flowers are bright and the willows are dark around the sky and sorrowful, and the city is more upstairs." If you want to ask where Gu Hong is going, I don't know my life experience. It was written by the famous poet Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty.
After getting out of the car and walking to the gate of the antique city, Meng Zitao saw the five big characters of "Shangdu Antique City" shining on the door plaque, which was quite imposing.
Meng Zitao stood on the spot and admired for a moment, and then entered from the main gate of the antique city with the army, although it was only Friday, but as the second in the same industry in the country, there were not many tourists, very lively. I saw the stall owners enthusiastically shouting to attract customers, and tourists carefully selected their favorite treasures.
Meng Zitao turned around for a while, as an antique market, this place is indeed very large, and the antique street in Ling City cannot be compared with here at all, but it is easy to find some genuine products here, and if you want to treasure them, the probability is not much.
After walking around the first floor for a while, they harvested two small pieces that were not satisfactory for Meng Zitao, and the two came to the second floor of the antique city, where the second-hand book market occupies most of the place. (Due to the needs of time and plot, the scenes in the book may not be the same as reality, please don't mind, and I won't explain accordingly in the future.) οΌ
The scale of the second-hand book market here is also quite rare in China, and many books that are not usually found can be found here.
Seeing the dazzling array of books around him, Mencius was very interested, not only him, but even the army next to him also widened his eyes and looked around, and when he saw a magazine about modern weapons published by an authoritative publishing house, his footsteps paused.
Meng Zitao happened to notice it too, and said with a smile: "Army, just go shopping by yourself." β
Dajun immediately shook his head in disagreement, and Meng Zitao continued: "Don't worry, I'm not a child, how can I get lost, besides, this place is so big, I'll make a call, or it won't be long before you arrive." (To be continued.) )
