Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Don't say that, with your ability, as long as you find a suitable platform for yourself, I believe it won't be long before this problem can be solved." ”

Meng Hongchang waved his hand: "Come on, I know my own affairs, how can I get ahead so easily if I have no background?"

Meng Zitao said, "Isn't your technique good?"

Meng Hongchang laughed at himself: "Forget it, what if the technology is good and there is no management ability, otherwise if the technical director leaves, I will have to be in the position, right? ”

Meng Zitao asked, "Then have you considered what to do after resigning?"

Meng Hongchang thought for a while: "Sales, after doing sales during this time, I think it's more fun than doing technology." ”

Meng Zitao was a little surprised and asked, "You won't be a decision to pat your head, right?"

Meng Hongchang scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, this is about my future, how could I be so sloppy?"

"Okay, I'll ask Aze to help you ask, what is suitable for your position. ”

"Don't!"

Meng Hongchang hurriedly refused, saying: "I also said, this is related to my future, which line of work, I have to think about it, I am not small, it is impossible to change the industry again and again in the future." ”

"Okay, then tell me when you're ready. Meng Zitao nodded.

"Well, I'm sure I'll be in trouble then. ”

Meng Hongchang smiled and took a sip of tea: "Okay, now you can always explain your affairs to me, right?"

"Okay......" Meng Zitao said the process of his acquaintance with Shu Ze.

This is called being a good person. ”

Meng Hongchang smiled. Then he asked with some seriousness, "What's the matter with Brother Dajun?"

"Actually, it's really not complicated...... Mencius said Bu Xinzhi.

Meng Hongchang shook his head. This is clearly a calamity of innocence, and he said, "Can't you sell him something?"

Meng Zitao said: "If I do this. If you don't mention Aze's thoughts, what will the people in Aze's circle think?"

Knowing that this matter was related to Shu Ze's face, it was indeed not easy to deal with it like this, Meng Hongchang said with some concern: "However, you always have to take care of your safety, right?"

Meng Zitao laughed and said: "Do you think it's a plot written in a novel, even if Bu Xinzhi has action, he won't be so unscrupulous, just by publicizing it on the Internet, he won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Meng Hongchang just wanted to refute. I thought of it again, Meng Zitao had the support of Shu Ze behind him, and Bu Xinzhi wanted to clear the bad influence on the Internet, but there was no way.

"Got it. Meng Zitao patted Meng Hongchang on the shoulder: "Actually, I'm not really in danger, Aze sent a large army over just in case." You can put a hundred hearts. ”

Although Meng Hongchang was still a little worried, what Meng Zitao said was right, so he had to temporarily let go of the worries in his heart. I hope that Meng Zitao will be safe and sound. ……

Because he had to go back to the capital to deal with the work matters, the next day, Meng Hongchang took a plane to the capital, and Meng Zitao returned to Lingshi with the army. Return to a peaceful life.

In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday again, and early in the morning, Meng Zitao and the army came to the antique bazaar.

The weather was cold though. But as long as it's not rain or snow, it won't stop the hawkers. One by one, they were wrapped very tightly, but they quickly took out their own things and placed them neatly.

Meng Zitao told the army to go to the antique shop and wait. However, the army disagreed, and Meng Zitao didn't say much, so he walked around on his own.

I don't know if it's because the things brought by the hawkers today are too bad, or because of their own bad luck, Meng Zitao looked at it for a long time and didn't find a few things that looked good, not because the grade of the things was too low and there was not much collection value, or because the quality was too poor, or it was simply too new.

I walked most of the antique streets, but my hands were still empty, this situation had never been encountered before, and Meng Zitao didn't know what to say.

Looking at the sky, as if it was about to change, Meng Zitao felt that there should be nothing to buy today, so he was about to turn around and leave, and at this time, the voice of an old man not far away caught his attention.

"Is this thing sold for a hundred dollars?"

As soon as he heard this price, the peddler was a little dissatisfied: "Uncle, look carefully, I am an antique, not an ordinary goods, no matter where you go, you can't buy an object like me for a hundred yuan!"

"What antiques are not antiques, I just look at this thing, and I can sell it for a hundred yuan." Seeing that the vendor did not agree, the old man brutally snatched the thing into his hand, and that vigorous skill is estimated to be practiced often.

Seeing that the old man really made a gesture of paying money, Meng Zitao was very speechless, he looked at it and found that the old man was holding a wood carved pen holder, which seemed to be good and a little interesting.

When the peddler saw the old man's posture, he was a little anxious, got up and stepped into his own stall, snatched the pen holder from him, and said angrily: "Why are you like this! Let me tell you, I won't sell you as much as you give!"

"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, what a fierce one!" Seeing this, the old man had no choice but to leave in a huff.

At this time, Meng Zitao walked up and asked politely, "This boss, can you let me appreciate the pen holder?"

The peddler looked at Mencius for a moment, then put the pen holder back in its place and said "yes".

Meng Zitao took the pen holder in his hand, carefully looked at it, this wood carving pen holder is about 15 cm high, and the outer wall is embossed with a picture of the meeting of the fishing wood. The woodcutter sits across the bank, the fisherman wears a bamboo hat and hangs the pole on the river, the woodcutter sits cross-legged, not far behind him, a load of firewood, although the figure is small, the face is complete.

Ring around the carving of pine, bamboo, weeping willow, pomegranate and other things, the use of round carving, high relief, hollow carving and other carving techniques, the composition is complex, the level is orderly, the carving is superb, exquisite.

The more Meng Zitao looked at it, the more surprised he was in his heart, because the style and knife technique of the mountains, stones, trees, and characters carved by the pen holder were highly consistent with a work in his memory.

However, I don't know what's going on, someone deliberately rubbed off the style on the pen holder, and only a few handwriting can be faintly seen.

But in terms of style and carving, Mencius thinks that it should be made by Jiang Fusheng in the Ming Dynasty, and the production time given by Yi can also be like this.

This Jiang Fusheng, whose name is Chunbo, is a master of carving in the Ming Dynasty. When he was young, he was chased by his stepmother, and a carver in Gusu felt that he was pitiful, so he raised him as an adult and taught him to learn art.

Jiang Fusheng's skills are very superb, and there are many kinds of carvings, such as inkstones, pen holders, pans, arm pavilions, dust tails, ruyi, etc., and because of their exquisite skills, many rich and noble families at that time were buying with a lot of money.

Coupled with his good governance of fine wine and vegetarian food, celebrities and talents are one after another. and Tang Yin, Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming father and son, especially in contact.

Among Jiang Fusheng's many works, the agarwood as the material is occasionally handed down, and the boxwood carving is very rare, and there is only a similar work in the Forbidden City, which is very precious.

Of course, Meng Zitao couldn't ask about such a baby, and asked, "Boss, please ask for a price." ”

The boss stretched out his hand and said 50,000 yuan.

This price is certainly not expensive, but as mentioned above, the antique trade has always been a sky-high asking price to repay on the spot, and there is a lot of knowledge in this asking price.

Generally speaking, in the first few rounds of bargaining, the buyer and seller test each other, and the connoisseur knows the person's pounds and pounds after listening to the two sentences, and then watches the person put down the dishes.

For example, the old man just now, when he opened his mouth to bargain for 100 yuan, the connoisseur knew that he was not buying an antique at all, but just wanted to buy a pen holder like an antique to put on the façade, so he ruthlessly lowered the price, and the right was to buy something at a roadside stall.

If the old man bids 1,000 yuan, the connoisseur knows that the old man actually has no idea about the authenticity of this bamboo carving, but he just wants to understand the authenticity of this bamboo carving through bargaining.

If the old man bids 5,000 yuan, the connoisseur will know that the old man knows some about antiques, but he is too expensive, and he hesitates to buy them, and wants to spend less money to buy them to make a bargain.

Sellers in the antique market usually like this kind of people the most, and fakes are generally sold to these people, and the more people who like to take advantage of them, the more they will suffer in the end.

If the old man bids 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, the connoisseur will know that the old man not only knows antiques, but also knows the current market situation of this tube.

However, judging from the hawker's offer just now, Meng Zitao guessed that the other party should know the value of the pen holder, but the specific amount is probably not clear, otherwise he would not only offer this price.

So, he said tentatively: "I'll take 7,000 yuan." ”

The peddler hesitated: "You add a little more, fifteen thousand." ”

Meng Zitao had a bottom in his heart, this peddler was indeed as he thought, and he didn't know about this pen holder: "At most, 8,000 yuan, I have so much money on me." ”

"In this way, seeing that you are an expert, you take 10,000 yuan, and I will give you another dzi necklace?"

Dzi in Tibet means solemn, rich, possessed, noble and elegant. The Tibetan people believe that the dzi is an ornament worn by the gods, regarded as a sacred object for the worship of the gods, and is also the ultimate sacred object for the Buddha in Tibet

Natural dzi refers to the use of pure natural materials only polished dzi, one is made of conch fossil polished dzi, called conch dzi, the other is made of jade and agate components of the nine-eyed stone shale polished into the dzi, called nine-eyed stone shale dzi, also called Tianyan dzi.

Due to the scarcity of raw materials at that time, these two kinds of natural dzi were extremely rare, and the price was of course expensive, and the artificial materials (glass, resin, chemically treated stone, etc.) with regular patterns and consistent patterns on the market were artificial dzi or imitation dzi.

Seeing that the vendor handed over a dzi necklace, Meng Zitao didn't look at it much after taking it, because such a precious thing, thinking about it, he knew that it could not be genuine. He originally planned to accept it when he saw it, but now that he had steps, he hesitated for a moment and agreed, paid and left. (To be continued.) )
