Chapter 307: Yu Weigang's Experience
When Yu Wei first heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched obviously, and he asked, "How do you say there is another 'listening voice'?"
Meng Zitao then explained: "In terms of timbre, the white porcelain we usually use is heavier and thicker, and the sound of two bowls touching each other is 'ding', and there is basically no echo, and two high-grade bone china bowls are placed on flat hands to collide......
"Wait!" Yu Weigang interrupted, "This won't break things, right?"
Meng Zitao picked up the two plates on the coffee table and said: "Bone china is porcelain fired at high temperature, the hardness is very high, such a collision will not be damaged, if it is white porcelain, it is likely to be damaged, do you want to try it?"
Yu Weigang thought about it, nodded and said, "Then try it, it doesn't matter if it's broken." ”
"Okay, I'm going to collide with a little bit of force now. ”
As he spoke, Meng Zitao collided the two plates, and Yu Weigang was stunned to find that not only did the plates make a "ding" sound, but also the location of the collision was somewhat damaged.
Meng Zitao put the plate in front of Yu Weigang and said, "See?"
Yu Wei just took the plate, looked through it, and said, "What is the sound of real bone china?"
Meng Zitao said: "There are some crisp 'bells' like ringing bells, and I have a pair of similar bone china plates, you can look at them when you go back." ”
Yu Weigang looked at the plate in his hand and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "In other words, this thing is not bone china?"
Meng Zitao said: "Don't you also know some bone china identification?
The corners of Yu Weigang's mouth twitched, and finally he could only accept this reality unwillingly.
"Who sold you this set?" Meng Zitao asked.
Yu Weigang waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't talk about it." ”
Meng Zitao said: "I still have some connections in the antique market, and I can return things if I give some eye fees." ”
This set of porcelain is guaranteed to be expensive in terms of packaging alone, and in general, it is estimated that it will cost nearly 100,000 things to be worthy of such packaging, since this is the case, it is definitely best to recover some losses.
Of course, that is, Yu Weigang was the best classmate when he went to vocational school, if it was someone else, Meng Zitao would not have raised such an opinion at all.
Yu Weigang smiled bitterly: "I really don't need it, these things were actually given to me by others." ”
Meng Zitao looked at Yu Weigang a little strangely and said, "I don't think you're angry at all." ”
Yu Weigang smiled bitterly: "It was sent by my wife's relatives, how can you say I can be angry." ”
"What! are you married?" Meng Zitao was very surprised.
Yu Weigang smiled and said: "I got married in June the year before last, and I already have a son." ”
Meng Zitao looked Yu Weigang up and down: "Yes, you don't even tell me when you get married." ”
Yu Weigang arched his hand: "Zitao, this matter is indeed my fault, but I couldn't help it at the time, you don't know, when I got married, none of the relatives here were invited, and now they don't know that I am married." ”
Yu Weigang's family situation is a little special, his parents died because of illness, when he was still in junior high school, he has been living with his grandmother, and later when he was about to graduate from vocational school, his grandmother also died of cerebral hemorrhage.
To say, in this case, if his relatives treat him badly, then it doesn't matter if he is not invited to get married, although the key relatives are not too good to him, they are not bad. Therefore, to get married normally, there is no reason not to invite them.
I haven't seen him for a few years, Yu Wei has just changed a lot, not to mention getting married and having children, he didn't even invite his relatives to marry, how can this not make Meng Zitao think more?
Meng Zitao couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Weigang scratched his head: "Anyway, this qiē is related to my wife." ”
It turned out that Yu Wei had just finished his job and went to Pengcheng to work, but with his education, he couldn't find a good job, and finally started sales in a company.
On the one hand, Yu Weigang's work ability is really good, on the other hand, luck also accounts for a certain factor, and in just a few months, he has achieved quite remarkable results. Coincidentally, the company's sales director had a conflict with the general manager, not to mention the resignation, and took away some old employees.
The general manager had no choice but to temporarily select one of the remaining staff of the sales department to be responsible for the daily work of the sales department, but he was worried that among the remaining employees, there were still contacts with the original director, so that Yu Weigang, who had just entered the company for a few months, entered the general manager's sight.
Originally, Yu Weigang was just a temporary candidate, but he didn't expect his work performance to be outstanding, which greatly satisfied the general manager, so he turned Yu Weigang into a regular.
In the next few years, Yu Weigang worked well, and as the company grew, his salary also rose, and he also had a girlfriend during the period.
If his girlfriend was just the child of an ordinary family, there would be no later incidents, however, his girlfriend's identity is not only not ordinary, but also a member of a billionaire family in Xiangjiang.
So, the two experienced a bloody plot, the girlfriend's family did not agree to the relationship between the two and insisted on breaking up, the two eloped, etc., until Yu Weigang's girlfriend was pregnant before marriage, and was forced to die before they were able to get married.
After listening to Yu Weigang's story, Meng Zitao shook his head with a smile: "I didn't expect that your experience in the past few years has been so rich. But why didn't you contact me?"
Yu Weigang said helplessly: "My circle number was stolen, and you didn't leave me a mobile phone number at the beginning, how can I contact you? ”
Meng Zitao patted Yu Weigang's shoulder: "Isn't it hard to come now?"
Yu Weigang sneered, pointed to the things on the table and said, "If it is really bitter, then my wife's relatives will not send me such things." ”
Meng Zitao said: "You are all married and have children, they don't have to treat you as an enemy, right?"
Yu Weigang sneered: "The sense of superiority is bursting, I think I am a hillbilly, in order to seek their family's property." You didn't see that before, you really had to guard me like a thief all the time, and now it's a little better, but it's not much better. Let's just say this time, my wife's relative was okay with me, but unexpectedly, he still dug a pit for me to jump. ”
Meng Zitao said: "As for me? Besides, what does it mean for him to give you a set of white porcelain?"
"Look at my jokes. Yu Weigang said: "Because they look down on me, so I usually don't accept the things they give me, this time I didn't want to accept it, he told me that I was fine, and when others asked, they said that I came back to the Ling City to buy it." What do you think they would think if they went back and found out that it wasn't bone china?"
In the end, there was a hint of anger on his face, but he immediately sighed again, looking helpless.
Meng Zitao asked, "What do you do now, and where do you live?"
Yu Weigang immediately became a little angry: "I'm angry when I talk about this, after I get married, my wife must let me go to work in her company, saying that my family is good to take care of." That's right, but it's also a score, as far as his family wants us to divorce, what kind of good working environment do you say?"
Meng Zitao nodded, and Yu Weigang continued: "However, during that time, my wife was pregnant and her temper was not very good, so I could only agree in order to take care of her affection." After that, I said it was tears, because of the relationship between my wife and children, I could only grit my teeth and hold on, but fortunately, my work ability was okay, and the two of us lived in Pengcheng, otherwise, you could only burn paper for my brother. ”
Meng Zitao also understands Wei Gang's character, knowing this situation, Yu Weigang will only swallow all the pain into his stomach, and said, "Then why don't you just come out?"
Yu Weigang waved his hand: "I'm not reluctant to take my current job, but my wife refuses, she said that if she changes her job, she will have to have the year of the monkey to have her current salary, plus there are children to consider, so I can only stay temporarily." ”
In the end, Meng Zitao could clearly see the unwillingness on Yu Weigang's face, but there was a way that it was difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and he didn't know how to persuade him.
Yu Weigang then laughed: "It's okay, I'm okay with what happens, as long as they don't break my bottom line, and now it's much better than before." ”
Meng Zitao nodded: "By the way, after talking for a long time, which industry are you doing now?" ”
Yu Weigang asked, "Have you heard of Ruijia Jewelry?"
Meng Zitao thought for a while: "I seem to have heard of it, you mean, now you are in the jewelry business?"
Yu Weigang said: "It's not really, I'm mainly responsible for contacting customers, supply and so on, if you have any gold and silver jewelry or jade you want to sell, you can give it to me, and I will definitely give you a high price." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "Then you don't need it......"
Yu Weigang interrupted Meng Zitao's words: "Don't look at what I just said so badly, I still have some right to speak." ”
Meng Zitao spread his hands: "The key is that I am in the antique business now, and I have my own auction company, so I really don't need to trouble you." ”
Yu Weigang's expression was stunned, and after half a sound, he came back to his senses: "You still have your own auction company?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "If I partner with a friend, I have 20% of the shares. ”
Yu Weigang hurriedly asked, "How big is the company?"
"Registered capital of 50 million ......"
"Wait, I heard that last week, a new auction company held a huge auction, it can't be your company. ”
"If nothing else, it should be. ”
Yu Weigang was shocked again: "Good girl, I heard that the turnover broke 400 million, right?"
Seeing Meng Zitao smile, Yu Weigang shook his head and said, "It's really unseemly, I didn't expect you to be a big boss." I still remember that when I was in class, the teacher said that you would be a manager in the future, and it caused the students in our class to burst into laughter, and now they are probably going to be shocked, right?"
Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "After graduation, I only had contact with Xiong Qi and Mu Yueze, and later, they all went to work in other places, and they slowly broke off, by the way, who did you know my mobile phone number from?"
Speaking of which, when Meng Zitao was in vocational school, there was only one dormitory Yu Weigang who was a good student, and the rest of the relationship was quite good, that is, the two classmates he said, as for the other classmates in the same dormitory, the relationship was not very good.
Although Yu Weigang is better than Meng Zitao, Meng Zitao is the one who can really be regarded as a friend.
Yu Weigang smiled sheepishly: "I happened to meet Sister Lin on the plane, she sued me, speaking of which, she had a crush on you at the beginning, did you consider developing it?"
Yu Weigang said that Sister Lin's real name is Lin Lingyun, and her appearance is indeed like her name, full of charm and aura, but she, like Sister Lin, loves to cry, so she has this nickname.
Meng Zitao smiled: "Come on, what year and month has this happened? Besides, I have a girlfriend now." ”
Yu Weigang pushed Meng Zitao with his elbow: "Let me tell you, Sister Lin is becoming more and more lovely now, if I hadn't found my beloved, maybe I would have chased him." ”
Meng Zitao directly refused: "They all said that I have a girlfriend, so don't do this." ”
Yu Weigang smiled: "Hehe, I just feel sorry for you." ”
Meng Zitao glanced at him: "It's as if my current girlfriend is not as good as her." ”
Yu Weigang said: "Since you say so, then I really want to get acquainted." ”
Meng Zitao said, "Just tonight, do you have time?"
Yu Weigang said: "How can there be no time? It's a pity that my wife is still at home with the children, otherwise we can get together together." ”
"There will be time in the future. ”
Meng Zitao smiled, and then asked, "By the way, do you have any work when you come back this time?"
Yu Weigang smiled: "Isn't it mainly for you?"
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "Come on, if there is nothing else, you will come back?"
Yu Weigang said with a wronged face: "What you said, I'm so sad." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "Okay, I don't know your character yet, let's talk about it, what is the matter?"
Yu Weigang touched his nose: "Okay, I was assigned to work in a company in Shanghai, but even if there is no reason for this, I will find a chance to come back recently, I swear." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "I believe you can do it." Then you don't have any trouble at work, right?"
"With my charm, what's the trouble?"
"Vomit ......"
The two made a few jokes, and Yu Weigang said: "By the way, didn't I meet Sister Lin when I came back?
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Have you seen a joke on the Internet, during the class reunion, there are many eyes in the quilt, there are few eyes in the heart, no more and no less are touching, one heart eye is singing, and the lack of heart and eye is dying." ”
Yu Weigang laughed: "That's not bad, but it's not like this at every class reunion, besides, let's not show off, just to meet our classmates." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "Do you believe this yourself?"
Yu Weigang smiled and said, "Classmate Meng Zitao, your mind is not as simple as before. ”
"Nonsense, after entering society, how many people can still think the same as when they were in school?" Meng Zitao asked rhetorically.
Yu Weigang said: "Then you mean, you don't want to hold a class reunion? If you don't want to, I'm definitely not happy to do it." ”
Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "Let's do it, after all, classmates, you can catch up on the old days if you haven't seen you for many years, and learn about the current situation." ”
Yu Weigang smiled: "Then it's decided, I'll call Sister Lin and ask her to help get in touch, if you can, let's do it this week." ”
Speaking of this, he smiled and whispered, "Do you say you want to sue her about having a girlfriend?"
Meng Zitao scolded with a smile: "Roll the calf, if you do this again, be careful that I cut you!"
"Gotta gotcha, I'm afraid of you......"
After a while, Yu Weigang contacted Lin Lingyun, and Lin Lingyun also agreed to let him be responsible for choosing a place and recruiting classmates.
Yu Weigang put away his phone: "Okay, let's just wait for the result." ”
"Why don't you sit in my shop?" Meng Zitao asked.
"Okay, I just want to go to your place. Yu Wei just stood up and seemed very interested.
"Then my car will go......"
On the way, Yu Weigang was curious about Meng Zitao's experience during this time, so he asked about it, and Meng Zitao also gave a simple explanation.
Yu Weigang was shocked: "What?!Most of your money is spilled out?"
Meng Zitao shrugged his shoulders: "Almost." ”
Yu Weigang asked with a shocked face: "Is this ...... This...... Is it so easy to pick up the leaks of antiques?"
Meng Zitao smiled and said, "What do you think is a leak?"
Yu Weigang said: "It's to buy high-priced things at a low price." ”
Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "You are just an appearance, not an essence. In my opinion, the omission in antique trading is actually the price gap in antique trading formed in the process of transaction due to the difference in appraisal experience or value understanding between buyers and sellers. ”
"For example, a blue and white plum vase from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty is sold for 10,000 yuan if the owner of the antique shop thinks it is from a private kiln, but you think it is from an official kiln and should be worth 80,000 yuan. When you buy it for 10,000 dollars, there are three results. ”
"If your judgment is true, then the transaction will be found to be a leak, and you have made 70,000 yuan; if the boss's judgment is true, then the buyer and seller will be evened out and there will be no leakage; if your judgment is wrong and the thing is a fake, then you will be blind. Do you think so?"
Yu Weigang nodded and said, "That's true, and then what?"
Meng Zitao said: "So it's very clear, in the final analysis, picking up leaks is a process of exquisite eyesight, you just look at me during this period of time often pick up leaks, without considering my previous four years of study, do you think without my four years of study, can there be today's results of these leaks?"
In the end, he muttered in his heart: "Speaking of which, it's really not big." ”
Yu Weigang said: "You mean that there is no return without paying. ”
"Yes. ”
"But I've never heard of anyone picking up so many leaks. ”
Meng Zitao said: "Then don't you say, I haven't picked up any leaks in four years, maybe it's just that luck has exploded? Now that I have a master again, my eyesight has improved very quickly, and my luck is good, so it's difficult not to pick up leaks." ”
Yu Weigang thought about it and felt that what Meng Zitao said made sense, after all, picking up this thing is not just luck and eyesight, of course, it is impossible not to envy: "Hey, it's a pity that I don't have such good luck, otherwise I wouldn't have to work hard." ”
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "If you want me to say, don't you live now with the same envy, jealousy, and hatred in the eyes of others?"
Yu Weigang sighed: "This is also the case, how many people will care about the hardships paid behind others?"
Meng Zitao smiled slightly, in fact, the reason why he explained so much to Yu Weigang was also to prepare for the class reunion, as long as he explained that a lot of effort was put in behind him, he had his current achievements, at least in the eyes of others, it would not seem so abrupt.
When they walked to the Bogu shelf where the porcelain was placed, Meng Zitao pointed to one of the pairs of plates and said, "This pair is bone china, you can try it, and listen to whether the sound after the collision is as crisp as ringing the bell, and there is an echo." ”
Yu Wei just picked up the plate and tried it, and found that it was the same as what Meng Zitao said, and there was indeed no trace of the impact, which was very firm.
Yu Weigang nodded: "Taught." ”
Meng Zitao smiled, and was about to say something when he saw Chang Huarong, who he hadn't seen for a long time, walking in from outside the door.
However, the current Chang Huarong is much more haggard than before, and he looks much older, as for the reason, Meng Zitao has already guessed.
Meng Zitao greeted with a smile: "Professor Chang, long time no see." ”
Chang Huarong also replied and said, "Shopkeeper Meng, I'm going to trouble you again today." ”
Meng Zitao saw the box that Chang Huarong put on the table, and said bluntly: "Then let's look at things first?"
"Row ......"
Chang Huarong opened the box, only to see that there was a Ruyi inside, only to see its body with high relief, carving and other techniques full of carved figures, the scene is rich, the first look is complicated, the closer look is orderly, in the Seiko complex without losing the overall thick and simple, is the same kind of Ruyi in the representative masterpiece, it can be said that the name and fragrance Ruyi are suitable.
Yu Weigang leaned in and took a look: "This looks like it was carved from agarwood, right?"
Meng Zitao nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Yu Weigang asked: "I heard that agarwood can be tested with water?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Generally speaking, the reason why agarwood is called 'Shen' is because it can sink into water. But this is already possible with the current means of counterfeiting. Use high pressure to shrink the agarwood without incense to increase the density, and then add chemical flavors or fragrance powder to mix the beads. So now, if you just use this method, you will still be eye-catching. (To be continued.) )
