Chapter 623: Foreigner
Back at the hotel, Meng Zitao contacted Shu Ze by phone, told him about his plan to set up a ceramic company, as well as his future business goals, and asked him if he was interested in becoming a shareholder. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Shu Ze heard Meng Zitao's idea, he smiled and said that Meng Zitao was fast enough to take the lead in taking action, hoping that Meng Zitao could successfully make a lot of money from foreigners.
As for the shares, Shu Ze said that he had enough things in his hands now, and he would not get involved in this matter, of course, if Meng Zitao needed to use him, he would definitely be duty-bound.
Meng Zitao was not polite, he first asked Shu Ze to help him manage the specialty ceramic company, in addition, he lacked a channel to sell things to foreigners, which also needed Shu Ze's help.
Shu Ze agreed and asked Meng Zitao to wait for a few days, and he would deal with these two things as soon as possible. Then, he asked Meng Zitao when he could go to Jinling, and when everyone got together, he also had some things he wanted to discuss with Meng Zitao, but he didn't say anything about it on the phone.
Meng Zitao didn't know exactly when he would go home, and after returning to Ling City, he always had to deal with the company's affairs, and he also had to arrange major life events, so he told Shu Ze that he would talk about it then.
The next day, Xiao Likai was refreshed, and Ling Ruihong was also radiant, the two had breakfast, contacted Meng Zitao, and the couple took the car to the hotel to pick up Meng Zitao and the army, as for Chen Zhongfeng, because he had other things to deal with, he did not go over together.
However, after arriving at the police station, the original good mood of Xiao Likai and his wife was destroyed again because of Officer Zhang's words.
Officer Zhang told them that the foreigner who bought porcelain learned about the current situation and said that he would sue Lu Junyi (Xiao Likai's son-in-law) for fraud.
When Ling Ruihong heard the news, she immediately went crazy: "What's the matter with this person, we have already communicated in advance, why did we suddenly change our hexagrams?"
At this time, Xiao Likai's daughter Xiao Qianqian was also there, and she also said angrily: "My friend used to say that foreigners pay attention to the spirit of contract, and I think it's a complete fart!"
Meng Zitao asked, "What did you tell him in the first place?"
"This ......" The family of three looked at Officer Zhang, estimating that the reason was a little inconvenient to say in front of Officer Zhang.
Officer Zhang smiled, he has been a policeman for a long time, many ordinary people have seen many unthinkable things, and the families of some criminals often take all the means that are beneficial to the party to shirk or reduce the charges for the criminals, so he is not surprised that Xiao Likai's family has any way to deal with it.
Next, Meng Zitao asked Officer Zhang about the handling of the foreigner involved in the case, and Officer Zhang told him that although the foreigner was involved in the case, because he was only a buyer, and Lu Junyi only said that the porcelain was ancestral at that time, and did not know about other circumstances, let alone that it was stolen.
In addition, Lu Junyi also said that the foreigner was only the buyer he found, and the other party was a foreigner, so he was not detained, but because the porcelain was precious, before the matter was investigated clearly (Lu Junyi never admitted that the porcelain was stolen by him), the foreigner must also be on call.
Later, Meng Zitao learned about the situation from Xiao Likai's family alone, in fact, they didn't communicate much with the foreigner, at that time, he just let the foreigner at a critical time, saying that he knew that the porcelain was a high imitation, if the foreigner agreed, in addition to the loss, Xiao Likai would also pay the foreigner a reward to thank him, and the foreigner also swore at that time that he agreed.
When Meng Zitao heard that this was the case, he almost understood: "Could it be because the foreigner thinks that he can't get extra remuneration, so he suddenly changes his hexagram?"
Xiao Likai said suddenly: "This must be the case, otherwise why would he suddenly change his hexagram?"
Xiao Qianqian said angrily: "The ghost guy is so hateful, he just wants money to die!"
Meng Zitao said in his heart, although foreigners may be insatiable, but this matter also has a cause and effect, if it weren't for your husband to sell Gao Fang as a genuine product to foreigners, there would be no current thing.
Of course, anyway, he is not a pit countryman, and he will do it in the future, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Lu Junyi doing this.
And it is very likely that the foreigner knows the laws of the country, and if he is aware of it, he still spends a lot of money to buy porcelain, he must be thinking about bringing it out through illegal channels, if this is indeed the case, this guy is not a good bird.
Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "This matter still needs you to communicate with him, and it is best to solve it with money." ”
"Then I'll contact him again. Xiao Likai felt very aggrieved, but there was no way, who called it his son-in-law to provoke it?
At this time, the people from Xicheng came over with things, and Officer Zhang also went to take out the high imitation and put the two pieces of porcelain together, as if they were twin brothers.
However, this is for people who don't know how to do it, and an expert like Meng Zitao can still see some differences between the two at a glance.
Then, Meng Zitao pointed out the problems to Officer Zhang, and there was a comparison, and the difference between the two pieces of porcelain was still easy to see.
Officer Zhang took the circumstantial evidence written by Meng Zitao and said apologetically: "Teacher Meng, I'm sorry, our leaders attach great importance to this case, so we still need circumstantial evidence issued by other experts." ”
Meng Zitao smiled and nodded: "This is as it should be, if you need me to come forward, you can just call me, and I will stay in the porcelain capital for the next two days." ”
Officer Zhang smiled: "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”
Meng Zitao said politely: "It is me who should say this." ”
After a few polite words, Xiao Likai walked back with an ugly expression.
Meng Zitao knew what was going on at a glance, and asked, "Then the foreigner has a bigger appetite?"
Xiao Likai took a deep breath and said to Meng Zitao: "Yes, he not only wants three times the compensation we promised him before, but also asks you to go with him." ”
"Why should I go?"
"He heard that you are an expert in the Forbidden City and wants you to help identify antiques. ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "This matter is easy to do, in addition, you don't have to worry, how much he wants is not something he just says, he wants to ask for a price, let's pay it back." ”
"Okay, I'm going to trouble you again. Xiao Likai said apologetically.
Meng Zitao smiled: "It's not a problem, and we are in the same boat now, and there are some things that don't need to be polite." ”
Xiao Likai smiled, not to mention anything else, this boss, who has not known him for a long time, at least in this matter, he is very grateful.
Everyone set off from the police station, sat in Xiao Likai's car, and came to a five-star resort hotel. After that, they followed the waiter to the foreigner's room.
Foreigners have a very common name James, a middle-aged fat man who is about 1.75 meters and weighs more than 200 pounds.
In addition to him, there was also a young and beautiful woman in the foreigner's room, but the dress was a little revealing, according to Xiao Likai, this woman was a translator invited by the foreigner, but God knows what else to do besides translation.
The foreigner's room is a suite, with a separate living room, walking into the room, Meng Zitao noticed that on a workbench in the room, there are three pieces of porcelain, a blue and white plum vase, a double dragon ear cap vase and a Longquan kiln jade pot spring vase.
When Meng Zitao noticed the enamel, his heart moved, and he looked at it a few more times, and then sat down on the sofa quietly.
Xiao Likai made an introduction to the two sides, James learned that Meng Zitao was an expert in the Forbidden City, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, it was hard to believe that there was such a young expert in the Forbidden City, until Meng Zitao took out his documents, he was still a little skeptical.
However, for Meng Zitao, whether a foreigner believes it or not, it has nothing to do with him, because he is completely sure that the matter will be resolved smoothly.
The two sides didn't have much friendship, so they immediately got to the point.
Xiao Likai said to James with a questioning tone: "Mr. James, you have obviously promised us before, why did you suddenly change your mind again?"
James listened to the translation and said in half-baked Chinese: "Oh, I'm not a fool, will you still pay me according to the conditions agreed before?"
Then, perhaps because it was too difficult to speak Chinese, James still chose to use English, to the effect that Lu Junyi had indeed deceived him, and he wanted to pay three times as much as he had previously negotiated without any problems.
Previously, Xiao Likai's family was ready to take out 100,000 yuan to let James make evidence in favor of Lu Junyi at the same time, but now James wants 300,000 yuan, how could Xiao Likai's family agree.
So, the two sides fought.
James is a foreigner in the end, the two sides do not understand the language, and the female translator's level is limited, Meng Zitao felt that his head was big when he heard it next to him, so he said: "Mr. James, I heard that you asked me to come here to let me identify antiques, I wonder if it is these three pieces on the table?"
"Yes, these are the three pieces. ”
"Can I take a look first?"
"Yes, but be careful. ”
Meng Zitao said that there was no problem, and then under James's gaze, he put on his gloves and picked up the double dragon ear cap bottle he cared about.
This device, the bottle mouth folded edge, the neck, the neck ornament double dragon ears, the bead button arched cover, the overall shape is noble and elegant. This bottle is finely made, the design is unique, the process imitates the enamel of the Jin Dynasty, the outline of the decoration is piled up with the clay line, and then according to the different characteristics of the decoration, the excess mud layer is removed one by one, and then the glaze is filled with various colors, so that the decoration presents a three-dimensional sense of realistic image.
The outer wall as a whole is made of sapphire blue, and it is decorated with the auspicious pattern of pastel Shoushan Fuhai. The bead-shaped buttons, dragon ears and trim are depicted in gold. The inner wall and the bottom are applied with turquoise green glaze, engraved with the seal book of "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty", and painted with gold color.
