So, Mencius asked, "What is the matter?"

Xie Chengjin said: "That's the case, there is an old man next door to my house who specializes in collecting cultural toys, a month or two ago, the old man's son took them to travel, but he didn't expect to come back and find that the house was stolen, in addition to money, part of his collection of cultural play walnuts was also stolen, so the old man was also anxious to get sick."

"It's just that after calling the police, there has been no news during this time, and everyone was hopeless, but I didn't expect to find it again, and now he can finally sleep. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Chengjin turned around and asked his son, "Did the police say how they got the things back?"

Xie Zhongyu replied: "I heard that when I was about to sell, I was found out that something was wrong by the owner of the antique shop, and the boss called the police and arrested the person." That guy was really unlucky, and he actually met a sharp-eyed boss. ”

Meng Zitao took over with a smile and said: "It's not a matter of being sharp-eyed, it's just that the flaws exposed by that person are too big." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Wang Zhixuan was surprised: "Could it be that people are recognized by you." ”

"It's the same person. Meng Zitao told everyone what happened before.

Xie Chengjin clapped his hands: "Hey, this guy is indeed good enough, but thanks to meeting you who is responsible, if it is someone else, as long as the price is right, which one will care so much?"

Meng Zitao smiled, although he didn't say it, but the fact is that some antique dealers now care so much as long as they can make money.

Wang Zhixuan said: "It is true that the current concept of money is very harmful, like in the past, the Buddha statue with the head of the Buddha was cut off will not be bought, and he does not dare to buy and sell the small Buddha or the head of the Buddha that has been cut off, thinking that buying and selling these statues is not only blasphemous, but also has no good reward." Although this is an old superstition, it has a positive effect from the objective effect, warning the world not to destroy the cultural relics in the fields or temples. Whoever resells these cultural relics, no one reports it, and there is a heavenly report. ”

"For the unearthed cultural relics, the superstitious saying in the past is that the ghost attached to the coffin and digging the grave is not gone, and in terms of modern consciousness, it is to destroy the culture of the motherland and violate the national policy, which should not be. In the past, antique dealers did not accept weapons, that is, real knives and guns, one of which was of unknown origin, and the other was easy to injure people, and it was unprofitable. ”

Ma Xingwei nodded, took over and said: "In the past, antique dealers paid attention to cheating. The so-called adultery does not refer to treacherous and slippery adultery, but refers to shrewd and ingenious behavior, scheming, and not giving a penny when making money when doing business. But never cheat, pay attention to credibility. This can be said to be the golden rule, if you do it, you will be invincible, make money, and gain popularity. ”

"But now, how many people think so much, as long as they can make money, it's normal to cheat, even if it's a head-killing business. ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I can't say that, generally speaking, as long as you can enter the circle, you still know some antique rules, and you are more responsible for doing business, like in our association, profiteers are a minority after all." ”

Ma Xingwei said: "But as the old saying goes, a rat poop spoils a pot of porridge, if a tourist comes to our Lingshi antique market to play, and meets such a profiteer, it will ruin the reputation of our antique industry. ”

Wang Zhixuan said: "It's the off-season, and it has nothing to do with Xue Wenguang's affairs. Of course, we still have to take good measures in the future, even if the impact is caused by profiteers, we can minimize the impact. ”

Xie Chengjin said: "I think this matter is a bit difficult, what if they don't abide by the rules? Now that it is a legal society after all, we can't unilaterally close his shop, right?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "There are indeed some difficulties on this side of the antique street, but we already have a corresponding plan, and we can solve it at that time." ”

"What's the way?" Xie Chengjin asked curiously.

Meng Zitao smiled, "It's still in the planning stage for the time being, and you'll know in a month, so please forgive me for keeping it a secret for the time being." ”

Aren't you a friend who knows everything, seeing Meng Zitao say this, Xie Chengjin is inconvenient to ask, and he is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things, so he didn't say much.

At this time, I heard Ma Xingwei say: "Speaking of which, this Xue Wenguang has disappeared for so long, and I don't know what he is doing now." ”

"It's dead. Meng Zitao said succinctly.

"Ahh

Meng Zitao briefly said the things of some time ago, of course, there were some things he did not say, so as not to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Hey, it's really impermanent, and a good person is gone. Wang Zhixuan couldn't help but sigh.

Ma Xingwei shook his head: "I think he is also to blame, if he can do business honestly, a series of things will not happen in the future, even if he looks away when he helps people, as long as the popularity is good, everyone will help a little, how can he get to this ending?"

Wang Zhixuan waved his hand: "Everyone is already dead, so let's not talk about him." ”

People die like lights go out, everything in the past is gone, and everyone skips this topic.

Meng Zitao continued to appreciate a few cultural toys brought by Xie Zhongyu, and finally chose one of them that was about the same value as his own incense burner: "Teacher Xie, I will choose this one, how about it?"

Xie Chengjin was also quite happy when he saw Meng Zitao's choice: "Of course there is no problem. ”

After making an exchange, everyone continued to talk about the topic of culture and entertainment, and at noon, Meng Zitao invited everyone to Lao Zhang's private restaurant for lunch.

After the meal, everyone said goodbye one after another, and Xia Dayou also took Meng Zitao's cursive works and left happily.

Meng Zitao and Wang Zhixuan walked to the antique street, and Wang Zhixuan asked as he walked: "Zitao, do you want me to help with the plan of the new antique street?"

The plan of this new antique street is exactly what Meng Zitao kept secret from Xie Chengjin before, and it is also the plan that Meng Zitao thought of after planning to cooperate with the travel agency.

In fact, the new antique street is not just an antique market, but a cultural street that integrates museums, antique markets, art centers, galleries, etc.

Meng Zitao's idea is to rely on these to create a sustainable nationally renowned cultural attraction, after all, there will definitely be fewer and fewer antique products in the future, and if you only grasp the antique business, it will decline sooner or later.

Meng Zitao replied: "It is still in the planning and site selection stage, and there is no difficulty for the time being, but you can also blow the wind with some friends and listen to their thoughts." ”

For the museum, Meng Zitao has an idea, the museum must belong to him, but the collection in his hand is not able to meet the exhibition of the entire museum, of course, if he spends money and adds his own ability, it will not be long before he can fill the entire Bogu Museum.

But this is not in line with Meng Zitao's idea, his original intention is to show the fine culture of China to every tourist, to achieve this goal, it is difficult to rely on his own ability to do, so he has an idea, he can cooperate with other collectors, sign an agreement to take the precious collection in the other party's hands to the museum exhibition.

For collectors, it is somewhat attractive to have their own collections on display and to be able to get professional maintenance that they do not get at home.

For some precious collections, Meng Zitao can also pay some exhibition fees, and I believe that some collectors will still agree.

However, this is just the beginning, in the process, Meng Zitao will also use some hype methods, put some collections at auction for high prices, fame, pay less exhibition fees, and even want to sign a contract for the exhibition has to pay a fee.

Of course, all this is just Meng Zitao's beautiful idea, and if you want to make the Cultural Street what you have in mind, it is not something that can be achieved in a while, and it takes effort and time.

Wang Zhixuan said with a smile: "It's no problem, others don't mention it, when the museum opens, some of my collections will definitely be exhibited in the museum, I just hope you don't dislike it when you don't accept it." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, what you said, no matter how much I do, it is impossible for me not to accept your collection......

Because Wang Zhixuan had the habit of taking a lunch break, when he walked to the antique street, the two separated, and when Meng Zitao walked back to his shop, he found a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes in the store.

Seeing Meng Zitao come in, Hu Yuanliang said to the middle-aged man, "Mr. Jin, this is the owner of our store." ”

Hu Yuanliang then introduced Meng Zitao, this person's name is Jin You, and those walnuts in the morning are his father's collection.

Jin You warmly shook hands with Meng Zitao: "Hello Mr. Meng, thanks to you, my father's collections were found, and you are my father's savior!"

Meng Zitao shook his head: "Mr. Jin, it's too polite for you to say that. ”

Jin You said: "You may think that what I said is a bit exaggerated, in fact, those walnuts are my father's lifeblood, since the loss of these walnuts, he has not thought about tea, does not want to eat, and does not sleep well, in just a few days, he has lost a lot of weight, if it is not for the thing to find, he has to get a serious illness, my father is now nearly eighty years old, he is not in good health, if he gets seriously ill, it is likely to be more than lucky, I said that you are his life-saving benefactor is not an exaggeration." ”

Meng Zitao said politely: "Mr. Jin, I really just did what I could, you don't have to be so polite." ”

"Teacher Meng, it's you who are polite, but I won't say anything superfluous, our family will remember this matter in our hearts. ”

Jin You continued: "In addition, there is one more thing I hope you can agree, my father wants to see you and thank you personally, but his legs and feet are a little inconvenient now, I hope you can go to my house." ”

"You're welcome......"

"My father has a bit of a stubborn temper, and I hope you can go together for the sake of his age, it's okay, he just wants to see you and say thank you in person. ”

Jin You made a full gesture and was also very polite, plus Meng Zitao didn't have anything important in his hands, so he still agreed.

Considering the convenience, Meng Zitao drove to the community where Jin You's father lived.

The two cars stopped in front of a villa, got out of the car, Jin You took Meng Zitao into the villa, just walked into the courtyard, Meng Zitao saw a seventy or eighty-year-old lady pushing a wheelchair, and an old man who was a little thin was sitting in the wheelchair.

At this moment, the two old men were admiring the ornamental stone in front of them, when they heard someone open the door, and turned their heads to see their son bringing a young man in.

"Dad, this is Mr. Meng who helped you find Wenwan Walnut. Jin You introduced to both parties.

The old man's name was Jin Afu, and when he learned that Meng Zitao was the owner of the antique shop, he was very excited to hold Meng Zitao's hand: "Teacher Meng, thank you so much!"

Meng Zitao politely said: "Elder Jin, you are not in good health, don't be too excited, pay attention to your body." ”

"It's just that your things have been finally recovered, don't break your body. Old Madam Jin also persuaded.

"Yes, yes, I can't get excited. Jin Afu hurriedly adjusted his mood.

Meng Zitao led the topic to the ornamental stone next to him and said, "Old Jin, this is the Shangshui stone, right?"

Jin Afu smiled and said: "Yes, this is Shangshui Stone, this kid from my family got it from Jin Province, I looked at it and thought it was good, so I found someone to make a big bonsai, which usually looks quite tasteful." ”

Wild grasses and moss can be planted on the stone of Shangshui, which is verdant and lush, and is the best stone for making bonsai. It is also called the absorbent stone, and the reason why it is called so is because after the water in the basin is stored, if the upper water stone is of good quality, it can quickly be sucked to the top.

If the texture is general, the stone is harder, the stone has less internal voids, the water is slower, and the water absorption is not at the top, the water height of the ordinary water stone can be up to 60 cm, and the high quality can reach one meter or even more, the water strength of the water absorption stone is an extremely important criterion for identifying the quality of the water stone.

The texture of this large water stone in front of me is very high-quality, and the plants planted are just right, which is indeed very tasteful.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Shangshui stones are common, but such high-quality and beautiful Shangshui stones are quite rare. ”

Jin You said: "I also happened to have a meeting, and my father likes all kinds of ornamental stones, so he bought it when he met it." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Old Jin is blessed to have a filial son like you. ”

Jin Youyou said angrily: "You have won the award, the key is that my father's education is good." ”

Jin Afu waved his hand: "Isn't the old saying that the son is filial to the father's heart, the family and everything is prosperous, these are just ordinary things, people just want to respect each other, love each other, talk about family affection, friendship, now life is strong, everyone needs spiritual support, need family affection, friendship, there is a place to pour out their hearts, home is this place." Just like this time, if it weren't for the persuasion of my wife and children, I might have been seriously ill. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's go in and sit. Jin Afu was pushed by his wife and invited Meng Zitao into the house.
