Coming out of Zheng Anzhi's house, Meng Zitao arranged things, said to his family, and drove to Jinling.

Because he happened to be on the way, after Meng Zitao drove off the highway, he came directly to Yue Shouzheng's house, but unfortunately, Yue Shouzheng happened to be not at home and went to the field to attend a seminar, and he would not come back until tomorrow.

After leaving the message, Meng Zitao went out, and seeing that it was not yet time to get off work, he contacted Song Xiuping.

Previously, Meng Zitao had communicated with Song Xiuping, and Song Xiuping was willing to take his collection to display after the opening of Meng Zitao's museum, and now that the construction of the museum is nearing completion, it is time to discuss it again.

Song Xiuping was in the shop in the antique city, and Meng Zitao went directly, but after arriving at Song Xiuping's shop, he saw that he was a little depressed.

Meng Zitao said hello and asked him what was wrong.

Song Xiuping shook his head, and said with emotion and anger: "Nowadays, people are really becoming less and less particular about doing business, and there are people who make money on any way. ”

After that, Song Xiuping told the reason.

Some time ago, a friend of his wanted a Qing Dynasty pearl box to store his collection of pearls.

The pearl box is a large official of the Qing Dynasty specially stored the pearl utensils. According to historical records, emperors, clans, princes, princes with different surnames, civil officials with five grades, and military attachés can wear the pearls, and the pearl boxes for storing the pearls are the special items for these dignitaries.

Because it is used by the official family, it is very rare to pass it down, and Song Xiuping does not have it in his hand, so he told his friends that he will keep it for him if he meets it in the future.

Yesterday, Song Xiuping passed by a newly opened antique shop, saw a pastel flower pearl box, he turned it over and looked at it all over, and preliminarily concluded that it should be an object imitated in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, but the imitation was good and very level.

The shopkeeper saw that Song Xiuping was very interested in the pearl box, but he was undecided, so he took the initiative to say that this thing was genuine in the early Qing Dynasty, with good shape and integrity, and it was difficult to find Yunyun now.

Song Xiuping insisted on his own opinion and felt that things should be from the late Qing Dynasty, so he was a little hesitant.

Seeing that Song Xiuping was still hesitant, the shopkeeper said to Song Xiuping that as long as the problem is found within half a month, it can be refunded, even if Song Xiuping thinks it is expensive.

Song Xiuping saw that the store had talked about this, and felt that this person was good, and it didn't hurt to buy this pearl box.

So, the two bargained, and Song Xiuping bought the pearl box for fifteen thousand and notified his friends.

My friend was very happy to see the pearl box, and he took it back without looking at it carefully, but just now he came over and said that there was something wrong with the pearl box.

After Song Xiuping saw it, he found that it was indeed his own eye, this Chaotianzhu was not imitated in the late Qing Dynasty, but imitated in the Republic of China, and the value was of course discounted.

Since it was imitated during the Republic of China, it can't be wanted, and the store said that it could be returned within half a month, so he went just now.

Unexpectedly, the store changed his tone, and said that he sold the things for his friends, and the money had been given to his friends, and the return had to be discussed with friends.

Song Xiuping is also an old Jianghu, as soon as he heard the words of the store, he knew that the previous words were made up by the store, in short, he didn't want to return the goods.

In order to return the goods, Song Xiuping was willing to suffer a loss, and agreed to give the store a thousand, which was regarded as an eye-beating fee, but he didn't expect the store to be too black-hearted, so he actually asked for half, and then he couldn't get along, so he was angry and came back with something.

During Song Xiuping's narration, Meng Zitao saw the pearl box, which was indeed imitated during the Republic of China, and the workmanship was very good, and it could be used as a fake.

Meng Zitao shook his head: "These people like to do a hammer deal, like to be clever, but they don't know that in this way, they will cut off their financial route." ”

Song Xiuping said: "Yes, the ancients said that far villains, near gentlemen, this kind of person should indeed hide far away, but I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Actually, if you want to get money, it's very simple, just call a few friends with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and go there to shop, I see if he dares to retreat." ”

In fact, Meng Zitao also wanted to say that this matter could be spread out so that everyone could know what the store had done, so that he had no business to do. But in this way, Song Xiuping's eye-catching matter will spread out, and it will definitely have an impact on his reputation.

Antiques are different from other circles, it is normal to make eyes, and it is normal for experts to look at them, but even if they are eye-catching, they are not willing to say it, but swallow the bitter fruit into their stomachs, the reason is very simple, because this will make others question your level of identification.

Therefore, on the bright side, it is rare to hear about the recent incident of a certain expert, so ordinary people will think that the expert is the authority, and his judgment is correct, and he will not be eye-catching.

"Forget it, this will fall into the lower tiers. ”

Song Xiuping waved his hand: "Those who liar people will always deceive them, and he will always pay the price for what he has done." As for my own greed, if I hadn't had the mentality of picking up leaks at that time, this would not have happened. ”

Since Song Xiuping said so, Meng Zitao also changed the topic and talked about cooperation.

For Song Xiuping, this is an opportunity to appreciate the value of his collection, there is only a benefit, there is no harm, and there is no need to worry about mistakes, so he happily agreed.

After that, Song Xiuping was going to take Meng Zitao to his house to select the collection, but the museum's booth was limited, and it was impossible to move all his collections, so it would not be Song Xiuping's solo exhibition. Of course, Song Xiuping would like this, but it is definitely unrealistic.

Song Xiuping closed the door and went downstairs with Meng Zitao.

Because of the treasure appreciation competition, Meng Zitao is also a celebrity in Jinling, seeing him, some people greet him from time to time, and some people still want an autograph or something, it can be said that Meng Zitao is here, completely the treatment of a superstar.

Fortunately, Meng Zitao came late, and there were not many customers in the antique city, otherwise it would definitely cause onlookers, even so, Meng Zitao also took a lot of effort to get out of the antique city.

Meng Zitao smiled bitterly: "I know why celebrities wear glasses and hats when they come out of the airport, ordinary people really can't stand such enthusiasm." ”

Song Xiuping laughed and said: "To be honest, I also want to enjoy such treatment, but I just don't have that life......

"Sir, please wait a minute. ”

The two of them were walking and talking, when suddenly a shout came from behind.

Song Xiuping looked back, his face changed, and the owner of the voice was none other than the shopkeeper who fooled him.

"Boss Chang, what are you calling me for?" Song Xiuping's face was not very good-looking.

The shopkeeper smiled all over his face: "Sir, I'm really sorry for what happened just now, I discussed it with my friend later, and he agreed to return the money, you can return the things to me." ”
