Hu Yuanliang said: "Boss, you are talking about the one at the entrance of the lane in the west, when I passed by in the past few days, I didn't see anyone patronizing, and the new store opened like this, it is enough." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Wang Menghan said: "This person is so shameless, he deserves no business." ”

Cheng Qiheng said with a smile: "If he wasn't so shameless, Zitao wouldn't have picked up this leak." ”

Meng Zitao smiled, indeed, if the other party was not so shameless, he would not ignore the rules of this industry, so as the old saying goes, a drink and a peck, it is not predetermined.

"Hey, wait. Cheng Qiheng suddenly thought of something, pondered for a moment, and said: "If I remember correctly, this person has a good relationship with Song Zhili, when he opened the store, I happened to pass by, and Song Zhili also went to congratulate him." ”

Meng Zitao immediately understood what Cheng Qiheng meant when he said this: "You mean to say that he broke his promise to Yang Lao because Song Zhili had confessed?"

Lao Yang shook his head: "I don't think it's possible, if it's just because I have a good relationship with the shopkeeper Meng, he will be involved in my head, and even risk his own reputation for this, then there is something wrong with his brain, right?"

Cheng Qiheng waved his hand: "Of course it won't be that simple, I mean, his business is not good now, will he have any plans to close the door, and because you have a good relationship with Zitao, he deliberately cheated you, anyway, he is about to close the door, and he can make a little more money." ”

Wang Menghan said: "Don't he even want to mix in this industry? Today's rumors have spread, and there are a few people who are willing to do business with this kind of person." ”

Cheng Qiheng spread his hands: "I just provide an idea, and I think it's still necessary to consider as long as there is a trace of possibility." ”

Meng Zitao nodded: "That's right, but I don't need to make a move in this matter first, I'll act first." ”

After chatting for a while, everyone shifted their attention to the blue and white strong jar in front of them.

After Cheng Qiheng looked at it carefully, his envy overflowed: "It's really better than people to die, and goods have to be thrown away, like we pick up a small leak of thousands of yuan, it is already considered to burn high incense, but you kid often picks up big leaks, I wonder if you have anything to do with Fuxing." ”

Meng Zitao made a joke: "Maybe Fuxing thinks I'm too handsome." ”

"You stink. Everyone was amused by Mencius.

"Boss, how much is a strong tank like this worth?" Zhu Xinyue asked weakly.

Meng Zitao said: "In 2004, there was a Chenghua blue and white Zhuang jar sold for more than 1.3 million, the Zhuang jar had a punch without a lid, and although this Zhuang jar also had a punch, it was just a small punch, in addition, its lid was intact, you think about how much it was worth." ”

Don't think that there is only a lid difference between the two, so the price may not be much different, but a lid is related to whether there is a deficiency, and several Zhuang cans from the Yongxuan period that appeared at auction also have no lids, and the transaction price is often higher than one million.

Meng Zitao estimated that with a strong jar with a lid, it should be about 4 million in the current market price, and if it is auctioned, it is likely that the transaction price will be even higher.

In this way, this strong pot can bring Meng Zitao at least three times the profit.

After listening to Meng Zitao's story, Zhu Xinyue's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, if he could pick up such a leak, it would be great.

"Want to pick up the leak?" Meng Zitao asked as he looked at Zhu Xinyue.

Facing Meng Zitao, although Zhu Xinyue was a little apprehensive, he still nodded sincerely.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's good to have the idea of picking up leaks, but if you want to pick up leaks, you must also have the strength to pick up leaks, otherwise you will give money to others, learn more, watch more, and buy less. ”

Zhu Xinyue hurriedly said: "I will pay attention." ”

Meng Zitao hoped that Zhu Xinyue would keep his words in mind, but this was not something he could decide, he could only mention it at any time, if Zhu Xinyue just didn't listen, then he couldn't do anything.

After putting away the blue and white jars, Meng Zitao asked the waiter to serve the food, and then everyone began to eat in large pieces.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, everyone talked and laughed, and it was very lively.

Cheng Qiheng and Meng Zitao touched a cup and thought of something: "By the way, Zitao, in the morning, I met Cui Bingmao, and he asked me to bring you a message." ”

Meng Zitao was a little strange when he heard this, and asked, "Who is this Cui Bingmao?"

Cheng Qiheng said: "The current head of Cui's jewelry, don't you know?"

When Meng Zitao heard Cui's jewelry, he understood what the other party was for, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him before, and I haven't heard of him at all." ”

Cheng Qiheng said: "It's okay if you don't know him, this guy is actually quite a little kid, and I don't want to deal with him." No, since you don't know him, why did he let me talk?"

"It's still last week. Meng Zitao briefly described what happened last week.

Cheng Qiheng said suddenly: "I said, why did this guy ask me about you in a roundabout way." I guess I think you have a useful value, so let me give you a message. ”

Wang Menghan said disdainfully: "This person is so insincere, won't he call in person? Help dig out a moth, and treat a guest to a meal, right? No wonder Cui's jewelry was quite powerful in the past few years, but in the past few years, it has become more and more silent, and several stores have been closed." ”

Cheng Qiheng said with a smile: "Cui Bingmao's ability is indeed limited, but he didn't invite Zitao probably because he couldn't save face, and now all the store managers of Cui's Jewelry in our Ling City were selected by him personally, you name such a character, where will his face go?"

Wang Menghan laughed and said: "He deserves it, who told him that he was not strict in control." ”

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but this guy can be regarded as self-inflicted. Cheng Qiheng smiled, and then said to Meng Zitao: "Don't talk about this, in the morning, he wanted to ask you to have a light meal on Sunday, will you go?"

"Forget it, you can help me get back. "Just like Wang Menghan said, the other party has no sincerity at all, Meng Zitao is not interesting at all, in addition, he feels that the pair of rings given to Meng Hongchang and Xiaoyun last time has been cleared, and everyone is not friends, so there is no need to agree.

Cheng Qiheng nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll push it for you." ”

After lunch, we chatted for a while, and then went back to our respective places.

Back at the antique shop, Meng Zitao originally wanted to go to He Wanyi, but before he could call, He Wanyi called over and told him that because there were some things in her hometown, she and her parents went over to deal with it, and it would take two days to come back, and the things in the store had been arranged, so that Meng Zitao should not worry about Yunyun.

Here I want to explain that He Xinghuai is actually not from Lingshi, and he got married and had children in Lingshi, which can be regarded as having taken root in Lingshi.

Previously, Meng Zitao inquired that He Xinghuai had an older brother and sister, and the others basically had no contact. This time, I went back mainly to discuss the demolition of the old house.

Since He Wanyi returned to his hometown with his parents, Meng Zitao didn't have anything important, so he stayed in the antique shop.

I don't know if it's because Meng Zitao often doesn't come, but I finally saw a figure, and several regular customers came in the afternoon, so that Meng Zitao almost thought that today was the weekend.

In a blink of an eye, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Meng Zitao saw that there were basically no guests, so he got up and prepared to go back.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked in from outside the door, followed by a young man with an expressionless face, who knew at a glance that it was a bodyguard or something.

Before Hu Yuanliang could speak, the middle-aged man first asked, "Is the shopkeeper Meng there?"

Meng Zitao replied: "I am Meng Zitao, may I ask who you are?"

Seeing that Meng Zitao was so young, the middle-aged man was a little surprised, and then he stepped forward and handed Meng Zitao a business card of his own: "Hello Meng shopkeeper, contemptible Cui Dingdian, now the deputy general manager of Cui's Jewelry." ”

Meng Zitao took the business card and looked at it, but he was a little strange in his heart, obviously he had already returned to the absolute side, why did he send a deputy general manager over, this was going to stick to himself?

"Hello Mr. Cui, I don't know what you are doing today?"

Cui Dingdian said with a pleasant face: "Shopkeeper Meng, I came here today mainly for two things, one is to thank you for your previous help, so that our Cui's Jewelry can avoid greater losses. The second thing is, if you have time at noon on Sunday, can you have a light meal? And we would like to apologize to you. ”

"Apologize shouldn't be necessary, right?" Meng Zitao felt strange, what kind of apology is good?

Cui Dingdian said with a sincere face: "I think it is very necessary, originally, you have done us a great favor Cui's Jewelry, we should come to the door as soon as possible to express our gratitude, but our general manager is a little confused, I don't know the priority, and it has been delayed until now, so please understand." ”

"It doesn't matter, I think that pair of rings is enough. ”

Having said that, Mencius became more and more confused in his heart. What do you mean? How can a subordinate say that about his boss? Or do you want to make up for your previous mistakes, but listening to Cui Dingdian's tone, it seems that he really looks down on Cui Bingmao.

"Is there something going on?"

Meng Zitao suddenly thought that the main positions of Cui's jewelry were all surnamed Cui, so nine times out of ten it would be a family business. There are advantages to family business, but of course there are many disadvantages, for example, there are many family members, because of the interests of the reasons, resulting in discord and conflict between members.

Thinking about it this way, Meng Zitao feels that this possibility is indeed very large, the deputy general manager wants to go further, not the general manager takes the initiative to abdicate, he has to pull the general manager down, if there is no assistance within the family, it is of course necessary to ask for a foreign aid. So I set my eyes on him.

So, will the two sides be evenly matched? Of course, there is such a possibility, but if so, there is no need to win him over.

However, there is another point that Meng Zitao didn't understand, why did Cui Dingdian come over after he rejected Cui Bingmao? Did he feel that he didn't have a chance before, or because he was not in Ling City before, or was it just a bitter plan?

After several thoughts in his mind, Meng Zitao immediately gave up thinking again, now the situation is unknown, he doesn't even know what the situation of the Cui family is, so why bother thinking nonsense, not to mention, he has no intention of participating in this kind of housework, now, just come to a soldier to block it, and the water will cover it.

Although Meng Zitao had already turned several thoughts in his mind, but the time was only a moment, and he only heard Cui Dingdian smile and said: "Where and where, for us, these are too little, please be able to accept this thin gift." ”

After speaking, one of the bodyguards beside him put the brocade box he was holding in his hand in front of Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao didn't even look at it, so he pushed it over directly, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Cui, you're polite, I think it's enough, and I ask you to take it back if you return a gift." ”

Cui Dingdian persuaded him a few more times, but Meng Zitao's attitude was very resolute, Cui Dingdian could only give up, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take back the things, I don't know if you have time on Sunday? ”

Meng Zitao politely refused on the grounds that he had something to do.

Cui Dingdian saw that Meng Zitao did not enter the oil and salt, so he did not show any dissatisfaction, at least on the surface, as for what he thought in his heart, only he knew.

Originally, Meng Zitao thought that in this way, Cui Dingdian should say goodbye, but he asked the bodyguard to take out another brocade box and put it on the table.

Meng Zitao looked over with some doubts, and listened to Cui Dingdian explain: "Shopkeeper Meng, this is an antique, please take a look at the authenticity." ”

Cui Dingdian took something to identify, of course Meng Zitao couldn't refuse, he asked Cui Dingdian to take out the thing, but it was an ink cartridge, opened it and looked at it, only to see that there was still a side of ink inside.

When he saw this square ink for the first time, Meng Zitao was a little surprised, because this square ink looked very exquisite, and the first impression was that it was a good ink.

Meng Zitao first asked a question: "Mr. Cui, I wonder if you can tell me the origin of this square ink?"

Cui Dingdian said truthfully: "This square ink is actually obtained by paying off debts......"

In today's society, "triangular debt" is a very common thing, but the debt is generally repaid with a car or a certain commodity and other objects, even if it is a debt with antiques, more porcelain is used, and ancient ink is still relatively rare.

Cui Dingdian took this square ink is to pay off the debt, although Cui's is in the jewelry business, but there are always some goods that are out of stock temporarily, or other merchants because of urgent needs to come up, and so on, so sometimes it is normal for peers to pick up some goods.

The owner of this ancient ink is a business partner of Cui's Jewelry, he can't replenish the stock because of a loss of business, and he can't get cash in his hand for the time being, so he has no choice but to ask Cui's Jewelry, everyone has been a business partner for many years, and the cooperation time has been several years.

Therefore, after the person picked up the goods, he did not settle the payment immediately.

As a result, this person had an accident again, and after several months, he couldn't get the money, and the person of Cui's jewelry went to ask for it, but this person still couldn't come up with the money, so he had to take out this ancient ink, saying that he wanted to use this thing to pay for the goods.

This person said that this ancient ink was handed down by his ancestors, and it has a history of two or three hundred years, and there will definitely be no problem, so that the people of Cui's jewelry can rest assured. Later, someone took charge of this ancient ink.

After listening to the origin of Gu Mo, Meng Zitao did not express any opinions, and began to observe carefully.

This ink shape is regular, rectangular, the ink type is the Ming Dynasty Cheng Junfang made the flying dragon in the sky, the front is the dragon pattern, the back is inscribed with poems, the text is "Flying Dragon in the Sky Song", the text is signed "the original Honglu Temple preface Banchen Cheng about the song". There are Yangwen styles around the ink body, which are: "Wanli Renyin New Year Ink", "Great Country Incense", and "Junfang Hiring Gun Supervisor" these three paragraphs.

The third paragraph of the "Jun Fang" is the author's alias, his real name is Cheng About, for the Ming Dynasty Wanli period of the people, the word Youbo, the word Junfang, the name Xiaoye, also known as Xuan Xuanzi, Shou Xuan Jushi, Mo Yin Dao people, etc.

Cheng is a famous ink maker in Huizhou and is known as the first person after Li Ting's death. It is not only good to store ink, but also fine ink method, and there is an ink workshop "also Pu Zhai" to sell its ink, and the ink made has been tributed into the palace.

Junfang ink, not subject to the constraints of the law, win the strength of the family, pay attention to the formula, materials, ink mold, the first super lacquer smoke ink method, the product is strong and bright, dark and moist, licking the pen is not glued, into the paper is not dizzy. Together with Luo Xiaohua, Fang Yulu and Shao Gezhi, it is known as the four famous ink makers of the Ming Dynasty.

Cheng once said to himself: "My ink can be turned into gold after a hundred years", and Dong Qichang also said in the "Preface to Cheng's Ink Garden": "After a hundred years, there will be no monarch's room, but there will be the ink of the monarch's room; after a thousand years, there will be no ink of the monarch's room, but the name of the monarch's room." It can be seen how precious the ink it makes.

It is precisely because of Cheng Junfang's reputation for making ink that is world-famous, and later generations have impostors, and there are many people who are confused, so that Cheng Mo has been handed down, and there are more fakes than truths.

After more than ten minutes, Meng Zitao put Gu Mo back, and Cui Dingdian couldn't wait to ask: "Shopkeeper Meng, I don't know how this Fang Mo is, is it true or false?"

Meng Zitao replied: "It's not good. ”

Cui Dingdian said: "What do you mean, I don't know much about this aspect, are you saying that there is a problem with this square ink?"

Meng Zitao said: "In my personal opinion, this square ink should be imitated. ”

Cui Dingdian was silent for a moment, and said sincerely: "Shopkeeper Meng, I don't know if you can explain a thing or two?"

Meng Zitao nodded and said, "That's no problem, do you know anything about Cheng Junfang?"

Cui Dingdian said: "Before I came, I just checked who Cheng Junfang was, and I don't know anything else." ”

"Okay, let me tell you in detail, Xing Taipu once summed up Cheng Mo's characteristics in sixteen words, that is, 'strong and bright, dark and moist, licking the pen without glue, and not dizzy when entering the paper'. ”

Meng Zitao explained: "Cheng Junfang made ink, most of them invited the famous painters Ding Yunpeng and Chen Hongjie to paint, and then hired the famous craftsmen of She County to carve ink molds, the carving is delicate, and some are as thin as a hair, so the words and patterns on the ink are fine. But this square ink, judging from the pattern engraved on the ink surface, does not have the characteristics of fine, realistic, and vivid expression. ”

"Judging from the lacquer clothes, although this ink is also a full-body lacquer coat, there are no snakeskin broken lines on the lacquer clothes, only broken lines. Judging from the texture of the ink, the ink is missing and the patent leather peeling, although the ink quality is quite delicate, but compared with the real product, the difference is too far. ”

"Finally, let's look at these three paragraphs, the knowledge is right, but there is some distance between the knife and the genuine, I have seen a genuine product, the knife is profound, the font is strong, the yang character is sharp, and the corner is new, and the carving technique reflects the strength of the calligraphy of the Ming Dynasty, but I also did not see this on this ink. ”

To sum up, this square ink should be an imitation of the Qing Dynasty, but the imitation is good, the ink quality is better, although it cannot be compared with the real thing, but it is somewhat valuable. ”

Cui Dingdian asked, "Then how much is this ancient ink worth?"

Meng Zitao said: "It's a few thousand yuan." ”

"What if it's genuine?"

"That's going to be hundreds of thousands. ”

Cui Dingdian was a little speechless, thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands, but the difference is a hundred times, if it is genuine, there is no problem, but now this, Cui's jewelry must have lost to grandma's family.

However, for Cui Dingdian, this result was exactly what he wanted, so after thanking Meng Zitao, he also gave Meng Zitao some hard money, no less than exactly one thousand, Meng Zitao did not refuse, and accepted it.

Out of the store, followed by Cui Dingdian's bodyguard, he said with some dissatisfaction: "This person is really enough to drag!"

Cui Dingdian glared at the bodyguard: "Can he speak?" He has a background, he has eyesight, what's wrong with dragging, besides, he is not a fool, he knows that we have a problem, and he still participates in it, if you change your words, can you agree?" (To be continued.) )
