Chapter 938: Good Rewards
With a look of disbelief, everyone walked up to the stage one by one to observe.
The porcelain tiles can show some details that are not usually seen, and the various features above show that this is indeed a high imitation. This is all the more alarming.
When everyone returned to their original positions, Mencius began to explain to everyone his experience in identifying similar porcelain, everyone listened quite carefully, some responded quickly, and asked the waiter for paper, and wrote down the main points, after all, this is an experience that can not be heard at all, and it is impossible to find out even if it is bankrupt.
"I believe that without me saying more, everyone should be able to understand the harm of this kind of high-imitation porcelain, so I implore everyone if you have also bought this kind of porcelain, or have clues in this regard, please contact me, I guarantee here, it will definitely be dealt with properly." ”
Immediately, many people said that if they encountered it, they would definitely inform Meng Zitao, but if people encountered something related to their own interests, it would not be so easy to make a decision. For example, if someone spends a million to buy a copy of this kind of high-quality imitation, will he tell Meng Zitao? Presumably, there is a high probability that he will secretly deal with it himself, after all, this is a loss of one million.
Meng Zitao also understands this, but as this kind of high imitation becomes more and more realistic, the sense of urgency in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, and he is really worried that one day he will not be able to recognize this kind of high imitation with the naked eye, which will be bad.
Therefore, he discussed with the master and felt that he could spread this kind of high-imitation news through some channels, which could improve everyone's vigilance on the one hand, and on the other hand, it could also make the high-imitation author more restrained, and then there was time to buy for investigation.
"Shopkeeper Meng, are there a lot of such high imitations on the market now?" someone asked.
"Not much, the number found today is very small, but I hope that everyone will not lower their vigilance because of the small quantity, especially when buying some high-quality porcelain, they should keep their eyes open. ”
Everyone said yes.
After this incident, the scene returned to its original trajectory, and everyone exchanged their experiences in the field of antiques, and the atmosphere gradually recovered.
At the end of the exchange meeting, Meng Zitao drove Meng Hongchang to prepare to go home, the two of them made an appointment to gather together at his place in the evening today, and now He Wanyi and Xiaoyun are already waiting for them to go back in the villa.
It's just that not long after leaving, Meng Zitao received a phone call.
"It's Shopkeeper Xia, I don't know what's the matter with you?"
"Shopkeeper Meng, my relative got a piece of porcelain some time ago, I thought about it, I think it may be the kind of high imitation you said, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you now, let's go and have a look?"
"Are you in a hurry?" Meng Zitao wanted to postpone a little later.
"The main thing is that he's going to give something to a friend tomorrow, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you so late. ”
"Is your relative's house close?"
"About a 10 minute drive. ”
"Alright then, where do you want now, do you need me to pick you up?"
"My relative's house is in XX Home, if you know each other, just go over and go there, let's meet there. ”
"Yes. ”
After that, Meng Zitao called He Wanyi and explained, He Wanyi could understand him, so that he didn't need to be in a hurry, and he was careful on the road.
met with Shopkeeper Xia at the gate of the community, and then the two came to his relative's house under the leadership of Shopkeeper Xia.
According to him, the porcelain was bought at a small auction when he traveled to the United States in August, and it cost more than 4 million RMB, so he didn't believe that there might be something wrong with the things that Shopkeeper Xia, and that the things in the American auction could be fake?
The idea of the relatives of the Xia shopkeeper is very common, which has to be said to be the result of the influence of many years, as if the moon in a foreign country is relatively round.
So, Meng Zitao explained again, and then saw the porcelain under the half-believing attitude of the relatives of the shopkeeper Xia.
It is a blue and white landscape hexagonal square bottle in the Kangxi period, painting the scenery of clouds and mountains, making it look like watching the middle hall, and there is the effect of handscroll exhibition of calligraphy and painting around the view, and the artistic interest is strong.
In the eyes of ordinary collectors and even some experts, this porcelain is undoubtedly a fine porcelain of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, however, just like the feeling of the shopkeeper Xia, this porcelain does have a problem, that is, the kind of high-imitation porcelain made of high-imitation green material, which is exactly the same as the one that Meng Zitao smashed before.
It took some time to explain to the relatives of the shopkeeper Xia, although it was difficult for the other party to believe it, but the reason given by Meng Zitao was recognized by the shopkeeper Xia, even if he didn't believe Mencius, the shopkeeper Xia still believed it.
In the car, Meng Hongchang said: "I spent more than 4 million yuan to buy a high-quality imitation, and I won't feel comfortable in my heart." ”
Meng Zitao nodded and said: "After all, money is not blown by the wind, and the person who makes this kind of imitation is really hateful." ”
"yes, better catch him soon!"
"It's difficult!" Meng Zitao sighed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I may have to go to the United States after I get married!"
"Could it be that the maker is in the United States?" Meng Hongchang asked.
"I don't know much about this, so let's go over there and investigate, and just go on a honeymoon. But it's just an idea, it's not settled yet. ”
When Meng Zitao said this, he changed the topic: "Forget it, don't mention this matter, how do you feel in the company now?"
Meng Hongchang said: "It's good, Mr. Zhang values me, he has now handed over some affairs to me to take care of, and I am doing it quite smoothly, but I am too busy to accompany Xiaoyun well." ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Fish and bear's paws are indispensable, if you survive this period of time and be in a high position, these things can be handed over to your subordinates." However, you're not too young, what are you talking about with Xiaoyun?"
"I don't have any problem with Xiaoyun, it's just ...... Wait. Meng Hongchang scratched his head, looking a little helpless.
Meng Zitao understood at a glance: "Is it Xiaoyun's parents who put pressure on you?" ”
Meng Hongchang said: "Hey, it's okay, but the pressure has also become motivation. ”
"Pay attention to your body, don't be in a hurry, especially in our industry, being in a hurry will lead to problems. Meng Zitao knew Meng Hongchang's character, so he didn't persuade him much.
"Hmm...... I know. ”
When the two returned to the villa, He Wanyi and Xiaoyun had already prepared a table of delicious dishes, although these dishes could not be compared with the chefs in the restaurant, but the unique taste and atmosphere were not found in the restaurant.
Seeing off Meng Hongchang and Xiaoyun, the two of them snuggled up on the sofa, quietly feeling each other's heartbeats.
After a long time, Meng Zitao spoke: "Wanyi, I'm really sorry, I haven't been with you well during this time. ”
He Wanyi smiled: "Don't say that, your career is important, now that communication is so developed, can't we video chat every day?"
Meng Zitao said: "If you don't see each other for a day, it's like March." ”
"Don't be numb. He Wanyi smiled: "If you really want to see me, then take a plane back." ”
"Okay, that's it. Meng Zitao clapped his hands.
"Don't be stupid. He Wanyi chuckled: "I'm going out on a business trip with the company's people now, what if you can't see me when you come back." ”
"Silly girl, I won't contact you beforehand. Meng Zitao gently pinched He Wanyi's nose, and then asked, "Are you still used to traveling on business?"
He Wanyi glanced at Meng Zitao: "I'm not a deep boudoir eldest lady, when I was in school before, I also went to the same school, her family lives in the mountains, the traffic is very underdeveloped, and it is tiring to go on a trip, but the air over there is good, and there is a lot of game in the mountains, I went to live for a week, and I gained a few pounds." ”
"However, some families in the mountains are indeed very poor, just like the few families we went to investigate this time, it is unimaginable that the poor are not even a new pair of pants, let alone provide their children with education. Every time I think of my sister and brother's eyes eager to learn, I feel very worried. ”
Meng Zitao also empathized: "Yes, so this is the meaning of the existence of our fund company, to help them change their destiny through learning." As long as they work hard enough, they can get out of the mountains and change the fate of their family. ”
"Hmm!"
He Wanyi nodded heavily: "By the way, the pair of sisters and brothers learned that they could continue to go to school, and gave me a gift, which is a work of art carved from black stone, which feels a little difficult, I'll take it for you to see." ”
He Wanyi got up and went to her bag to take something over and put it in Meng Zitao's hand.
"Huh!" Meng Zitao sighed lightly, because the carving he Wanyi brought was made of ink dragon jade, and what was even more coincidental was that the carving on it was part of the eighty-seven immortal pictures.
Meng Zitao's first thought was whether this would be the key to open the secret room, but after thinking about it, the hole under the brick was obviously much smaller than this carving, and the possibility of being the key could be ruled out.
As for whether it will be related to that secret room, Meng Zitao thinks it is more likely, but how it is, you have to open the secret room first to see what is inside.
Of course, there was one more thing, he wanted to know where the carving came from.
Seeing Meng Zitao's somewhat surprised appearance, He Wanyi asked, "What's the matter, is this thing special?"
"No, it has something to do with something I encountered earlier. Meng Zitao briefly talked about the secret room, and listened to the dangerous place, of course, it can be saved.
He Wanyi was also very happy to be able to help Meng Zitao: "Maybe this is good retribution." ”
Meng Zitao nodded with a smile, and then said, "By the way, did you ask where you got this thing?"
He Wanyi said: "My sister told me that this carving was found by chance under a stone by a stream when she went to the mountains to collect medicine. ”
The thing was found under the stone by the stream, which means that it is basically difficult to have other clues, so Meng Zitao was a little disappointed in his heart, but it was related to Mo Longyu, and he definitely had to take a look at the scene.
Of course, Meng Zitao was still very happy to be able to unexpectedly get a carved piece of ink dragon jade, and hugged He Wanyi and kissed him a few times: "Wanyi, you are really my lucky star!"
He Wanyi said angrily: "What are you doing! pervert!"
"Say I'm a pervert, then I'll do something perverted, hehe!"
"Don't ...... Hmmm......"
…………
The next day, Meng Zitao and Cheng Qiheng drove to Sioux City together.
"Zitao, why is your face so red today, is there anything good. Cheng Qiheng said with a wink.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I'm full of red light every day, okay." ”
"Come on, with my understanding of you, it's not that simple, it won't be the ...... with my younger siblings" Cheng Qiheng made a "you know" expression.
"That's not it, it's just going to be soon. ”
Meng Zitao knew that this topic was not Cheng Qiheng's opponent, so he immediately changed it: "By the way, how did you and Dai Guanglan meet?"
Cheng Qiheng smiled, and then said: "I have some business dealings with Dai Guanglan, he is a member of the Sioux City Calligraphy and Painting Association, he writes well, and I have also asked him to write a few paintings, of course, his level is incomparable with you, and now I basically won't ask him for calligraphy." ”
"Do you know his character?"
"I have some understanding, what do you think of him as a person?"
"I only have a relationship with him, I think he is more polite, and he should not give others a sense of disgust when he communicates normally, and I don't know much about the rest. ”
Cheng Qiheng said that this is indeed the case: "You are right, he is too polite, I think he is too polite, but I can't feel his hypocrisy, this is what makes him powerful." However, because of this, he is a somewhat elusive person, which is not good news for our mission. ”
Meng Zitao said: "Let's be improvised, if he insists on not selling, or the requirements are too high, we don't need to buy it, we can think of other ways." ”
"Okay......
There was nothing to do all the way, but due to the early departure, I arrived at Dai Guanglan's teahouse, but it was only less than nine o'clock.
Although Meng Zitao's time is relatively tight, now that he has arrived at the destination, he doesn't need to show eagerness, so it is easy to hand over the rhythm to the other party.
The teahouse can listen to the commentary, while eating tea and snacks, the two of them didn't eat anything in the morning, now they can fill their stomachs, eat delicious snacks, listen to the pleasant commentary, feel very comfortable.
However, this comfort only lasted for about ten minutes, and Dai Guanglan arrived.
Dai Guanglan's business is actually investment, with his net worth, there is no need to open any teahouse, even if the teahouse makes money, it is a drop in the bucket for him. The reason why he opened this teahouse is entirely because of his personal preference, he likes this environment, and this is the place he must come to every day, and because of this, the two of them are waiting for him here.
Because I asked Dai Guanglan in advance on the phone, and told the waiter that after Dai Guanglan came, he immediately came to the door.
When Dai Guanglan saw Meng Zitao, the smile on his face was a little brighter, and the enthusiasm between his words was also a lot stronger, but it was not too much, and there would be no feeling of hypocrisy.
"Teacher Meng and Brother Cheng can come to my small shop, it's really brilliant!" Dai Guanglan smiled heartily.
