Chapter 846: Touching Porcelain by Mistake
Hou Lao quipped: "If there is such a day, you must call us and watch it." ”
Everyone burst out laughing.
After a while, Jiang Weiwen said: "Okay, let's talk about this heart-turning bottle, how do you say to solve it?"
"What's the matter?" Meng Zitao didn't quite understand.
Jiang Weiwen replied: "Let me briefly say it, this pair of bottles is actually a transaction between two members of our association, at the beginning of the pair of bottles worth 20 million, if there is a problem, the buyer can go to the return, as long as 19 million, the remaining 1 million is considered tuition, but when I went to return it afterwards, the seller refused, claiming that there must be a number of experts to jointly identify it." ”
So, the buyer came to me and wanted me to settle the matter and ask for punishment from the seller. ”
Meng Zitao had some doubts in his heart, it stands to reason that Jiang Weiwen could solve this matter by himself, why did he invite so many heavyweight seniors to come over?
Although he was puzzled, Meng Zitao didn't ask much, after all, this was an internal matter of the Shanghai Antique Association, and it had nothing to do with him.
Elder Fang, who was sitting next to Jiang Weiwen, spoke: "Old Jiang, why are you talking so vaguely, is it possible that you still want to shield Luo Yue!"
I heard that it was related to Luo Yue, Meng Zitao reacted a little, no wonder Jiang Weiwen was a little difficult, he saw that Jiang Weiwen and Luo Yue were more familiar with each other, and he also asked someone to inquire, knowing that the Jiang family and the Luo family are world friends, and the relationship between the two families is very good, and Jiang Weiwen has always regarded Luo Yue as his son and nephew.
Now that he encounters something related to Luo Yue, and Luo Yue is still the one who is at fault, Jiang Weiwen should also be very big.
Speaking of which, Meng Zitao has always had a bad impression of Luo Yue, and with Luo Yue's shrewdness, he can't see that Zhu Tianhua is misbehaving, but he doesn't take it seriously at all, which makes Meng Zitao subconsciously think of the idiom "a raccoon dog".
However, Meng Zitao has not met Luo Yue for a long time, as for Zhu Tianhua, while being reprimanded by Guan Boss last time, he also learned that Meng Zitao has a strong background, and he no longer dares to trouble Meng Zitao, and Meng Zitao has not met for a long time, since Zhu Tianhua does not send it to the door, Meng Zitao does not want to go to trouble him.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Meng Zitao, and he didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he offered his resignation.
Jiang Weiwen knew that it was inconvenient to stay with Meng Zitao at this time, so he invited Meng Zitao to have time to sit at his house, and Meng Zitao agreed.
Yuan Lin and Lin Youxin also said goodbye, and then went out of the store with Meng Zitao.
"Teacher Meng, don't you know what you have to do in a while?" asked Yuan Lin.
Seeing that Meng Zitao said no, Yuan Lin smiled and said, "Is it convenient to go to my place to sit and sit for a while?" I have two new copper crying and want you to help palm your eyes. ”
"No problem. Meng Zitao agreed with a smile.
The group said as they walked, and were about to walk out of the antique market, Lin Youxin suddenly patted his forehead: "I almost forgot, I still have to choose a few hand-twisted small gourds, you go to the parking lot first, and I'll come over immediately." ”
"Okay, let's go slowly. ”
"Okay. ”
Meng Zitao and the others walked out of the antique market, walking slowly, and before they reached the parking lot, Meng Zitao, who was chatting, noticed a middle-aged man wearing a cloth jacket and carrying a black bag in his hand, with his head down, hurriedly walking towards the antique market.
Meng Zitao didn't care, however, before he could finish his sentence, he heard a "hey" sound not far away, he looked back, but found that the middle-aged man who was passing by just now had collided with Lin Youxin.
The man sat on the ground, and the bag in his hand also fell to the ground, he hurriedly grabbed it and hugged it in his arms, glaring at Lin Youxin angrily: "You don't have long eyes when you walk!?"
When the surrounding passers-by saw this scene, some of them surrounded them, and some of them bypassed one after another, and looked at Lin Youxin with a kind of pity.
Meng Zitao and Yuan Lin also frowned, this scene looked extremely familiar, it was clearly touching porcelain, so they hurriedly walked over.
Lin Youxin defended: "I obviously hid just now, but you hit me hard!"
"Phew, you have to quibble when you hit someone, I'm still carrying something in my hand, will I hit you? Do you have brains?"
Speaking of this, the man opened the bag and immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly: "My baby, it's broken!"
Before the words fell, the man stood up from the ground with a grunt, took Lin Youxin's hand, and shouted angrily: "Compensation, you pay my baby!"
"Baby, what baby?" Lin Youxin sneered, he hasn't been in this circle for a year or two, how can you not see this, this guy is clearly a porcelain toucher, and when he picks him, it is estimated that he is a foreigner, and he thinks it is easy to bully.
And this touching porcelain is really simple and rude enough, forcibly touching porcelain, there is no reason at all, this kind of person is also Lin Youxin's most disgusting, he wants to see how this person performs next.
"This is a dragon pattern plate from the Ming Dynasty that I inherited from my family, and I was smashed by you!" the man opened the bag in his hand and motioned for Lin Youxin to see.
Lin Youxin took a look, there was really a bunch of broken porcelain pieces inside, and the broken ones were quite bad, the largest one was only half the size of a palm, and the small one was only the size of an adult's thumb cover, and it was a rare green color.
"Look, this is my family's ancestral treasure! If it weren't for my mother's sudden illness and surgery, she wouldn't have taken it at all, and now it was broken by you, what would my mother in the hospital do!"
In the end, the middle-aged man squeezed a tear out of his eye.
At this time, Meng Zitao walked up to the man and glanced at the porcelain piece in the bag, and when he saw the porcelain piece, a trace of brilliance flashed in his eyes.
Lin Youxin organized the language, and when he was about to refute the other party, Meng Zitao waved his hand at him and asked the middle-aged man lightly: "What do you say?"
"What should I do? Break my baby, of course it's a loss of money, don't look at the number of you, you want to bully people!" The man saw Meng Zitao and his party who suddenly walked up, and scolded in his heart, picking people didn't know how to pick a little better, and now the arrow has to be sent on the string, and it is impossible to retreat.
Meng Zitao motioned to Lin Youxin, let him solve this matter, Lin Youxin nodded.
Meng Zitao still said in the same tone and asked, "Then how much do you have to pay?"
The middle-aged man was a little surprised that Meng Zitao was so easy to speak, and felt that things should not be so simple, so he took out the rhetoric that he had discussed in advance: "This is the porcelain of the Minghua official kiln, and it is not a problem to sell it for hundreds of thousands, but I am not unreasonable, I also have some responsibility for this matter, you can pay me 100,000 yuan!"
"100,000? The corners of Meng Zitao's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm.
"I knew it wasn't that simple. The middle-aged man muttered in his heart, and then glanced at the crowd next to him.
Immediately, I saw a young man with a tiger's back standing up and said to Meng Zitao: "You have damaged someone else's treasure, and it is someone else's life-saving money, so you should lose money! When you hit it just now, I can see it clearly, don't want to deny it, even if it is to call the police, I can also be a witness, I think people still honestly lose money, let this big brother take the money to save his life." ”
"Yes, you hit the thing, hurry up and lose money. ”
"Don't try to run, if you escape, it's not a matter of money, we will definitely send you to the police station." ”
For a while, five or six "passers-by" actually stood up next to him, all urging Lin Youxin to lose money.
Seeing so many "passers-by" helping him speak, the middle-aged man hurriedly thanked everyone, and at the same time, he was more confident, urging Lin Youxin to lose money quickly.
Seeing this situation, Lin Youxin felt troublesome, unless it was to call the police, it was inevitable to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and even if the police were called, it must be a fact that they collided, and the other party insisted that the thing was a treasure, and the compensation became a tug-of-war.
Meng Zitao asked Lin Youxin to calm down for a while, and then said to the middle-aged man: "You said that you want to compensate 100,000 yuan, you have to let us see how much the thing is worth, right?"
The man said that he could see it, but he kept staring at Meng Zitao, for fear that Meng Zitao would do some tricks.
After a while, the man urged: "Hurry up and lose money, don't play any tricks! I don't have time to compensate you for spending here!"
Meng Zitao put the porcelain piece in his hand back into the bag, walked up to Lin Youxin, stepped forward and whispered a few words.
Lin Youxin nodded, and then said to the man: "It's okay to pay compensation, but I only have 10,000 yuan on me, even if I go to the police station, it's only so much!"
The man glared: "What! Only give 10,000 yuan, do you still want to make a face! Besides, don't you still have friends, just ask them if they can borrow some." ”
Lin Youxin discussed with Meng Zitao and Yuan Lin again, and then said: "Add another five thousand at most, do you like it! It's a big deal that I'll be in trouble." ”
While speaking, Lin Youxin took out 10,000 yuan and took the 5,000 yuan taken out by Meng Zitao.
The man looked at the money in Lin Youxin's hand, although he was a little unwilling, but seeing Lin Youxin's gloomy face, he was also worried about causing Lin Youxin's backlash, so he grabbed the money and said, "I'm unlucky!"
"Hey, I want to leave after taking the money, give me something!"
"Humph!"
The man threw the bag at Lin Youxin, turned his head and left, and then the "passers-by" who were "outspoken" also left together.
Seeing this, the onlookers also dispersed, and some shook their heads.
Lin Youxin smiled bitterly as he walked: "Hey, it's me who is not good, I am too careless,"
Meng Zitao smiled: "If you feel that it is too much of a loss, then transfer the things to me, I will pay 20,000 yuan, and you can earn 5,000." ”
"Okay. Lin Youxin immediately agreed.
"Just kidding. Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand: "I don't want you to regret it then." Let's go, let's talk as we go. ”
After walking a few steps, Yuan Lin asked, "Teacher Meng, you don't mean to say that these porcelain pieces are real, right?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "If nothing happens, it should be, and the porcelain should still be intact, that is, there is a possibility of repair." ”
Lin Youxin stared at his eyes with an incredible look: "No, are these people so stupid?"
"It's hard to say, you don't think these people know antiques. Meng Zitao smiled, he had also experienced this kind of thing, and it was entirely possible.
"Is it true or false, don't you know if you look at it?" Yuan Lin couldn't wait to take out a few pieces of porcelain from the bag to observe, and the more he looked at it, the more obsessed he became: "If it's a whole vessel, I can't be sure yet, but this porcelain piece is clear at a glance, the tire glaze color, all of them are wonderful, and there is no doubt that it must be the work of the official kiln." And this is still Chenghua blue and white dark engraved green color, and the value is immeasurable!"
Lin Youxin's level of appreciation is not low, and after seeing a few pieces of porcelain, he also made the same judgment, and his face couldn't help but bloom.
"Thanks to Mr. Meng, if it weren't for you, I would definitely choose to die, how could I get these genuine porcelain pieces so easily. ”
Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand, indicating that this was nothing: "Boss Lin, I don't know what you are going to do with these porcelain pieces?"
"I'm sure I'll just have to find a tinkerer to see if I can fix it and then get rid of it. ”
"Don't you have any plans to collect it?"
"I may collect the whole device, but this is still forgotten, I am worried that I will not keep it well, in case I get bumped again, it will be a big problem. Mr. Meng, if you have any ideas, you can say it directly. ”
Meng Zitao said: "Since you have chosen so, can you let me handle it, you can repair and auction one-stop service." ”
"Haha, that's great, let's talk about the cost. ”
"Can ......"
The words were divided into two ends, and the few people who got the money all smiled, and the young man with a tiger's back said with a smile: "It's still easy to make money from outsiders, and it is too easy to get fifteen thousand at once." ”
"Big brother, if you want me to say, I shouldn't have let them go so easily just now, and if I want another 10,000 or 20,000, I see if they dare to give it!"
The middle-aged man admonished: "The third child, teach you to be obedient, do our business, the most taboo is greed, you should also know the previous Brother Yao, it is because he is too greedy, others are willing to give money, and he still holds on to it, and as a result, he was hacked to death with a knife." ”
"Big brother is right, there are too many people killed with passion now, no matter how good the money is, it is not as important as the life, of course, if there are a few more fools like that just now, we can eat and drink spicy food every day. ”
"Haha, just think about this kind of thing, but although we can't eat it every day, we will definitely be able to make everyone eat a good meal today, let's go, let's go to the Drunken Immortal Residence and rub it together!"
"Big Brother Wise ......"
The group came to Zuixianju in a mighty way, the name of your hotel is good, in fact, it is also the level of the food stalls, but for the group of people who touch porcelain, it is already a good place.
After ordering the dishes, the boss said, "Old Five, where did you get those porcelain tiles just now? I will reimburse you for how much it spent." ”
"I took the pile of porcelain from Old Man Yuan and gave a hundred yuan. ”
"Just that pile of broken porcelain, he actually dared to ask for a hundred, Made, the next time I met him, I had to loosen his muscles and bones. The young man had a ruffian look on his face as he spoke.
Lao Wu squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Old man Yuan is not here, it was sold to me by his wife, if you want to loosen her bones, I think Old Man Yuan must be very happy." ”
"Phew, that is old and fat, and I won't do it. ”
"Not necessarily, aren't you usually very good at this. ”
"Fourth, don't talk nonsense, be careful I'm in a hurry with you!"
"It's useless for you to be in a hurry, what I said is the truth, otherwise what's the matter with the proprietress who went back to the hotel last time?"
"That's my ......"
A group of people laughed and joked about meat, and when the wine and food came up, there was another burst of nonsense eating and drinking, just when everyone was drinking, the door of the private room was suddenly opened, and I saw an old man in his fifties, panting in front of everyone.
"Hey, isn't this Old Man Yuan, what's the matter, is it being chased by your family again?" the middle-aged man joked with a grin.
Old man Yuan didn't speak, looked at the situation in the private room, rushed to the front of Lao Wu, grabbed his collar and asked, "Pork belly, where did you get those porcelain pieces of mine, return them to me!"
Lao Wu pulled Old Man Yuan's hand hard, but the other party just didn't let go: "Old Man Yuan, let go of me!"
"If you don't return the porcelain piece to me, I'll hold it for the rest of my life!" said Old Man Yuan through gritted teeth.
Lao Wu said angrily: "Ah, you old man is so energetic, right, tell you, those porcelain pieces have been thrown away by me!"
"Throw it away, where did you throw it, get it back for me! Otherwise, I'll not be done with you." Old man Yuan looked a little anxious.
At this time, everyone else could see that something was wrong with Old Man Yuan's state, and it was not the first time they had dealt with Old Man Yuan, sometimes they had gone too far, and they had never seen Old Man so anxious.
The middle-aged man thought of the easy and excessive touch of porcelain just now, and faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart: "Old man Yuan, what is going on, you have to make it clear." ”
"That's right, besides, isn't it just a pile of broken porcelain, as for this time, is it urgent?"
"Come, come, take a sip of water, speak slowly, make things clear. ”
Old man Yuan was indeed thirsty until now, picked up the teapot and drank it well, and then said to everyone: "If it is a broken porcelain piece, do you think I will chase it over? I am not so bored!"
"What's going on, it can't be that pile of porcelain tiles or some kind of treasure, right?"
"It's not just a baby, it's a big baby, you think about what I do. ”
"Repair!" The middle-aged man's expression changed: "Could it be that those porcelain tiles were repaired by someone else?"
"Isn't it!" Old man Yuan clapped his hands and said: "Those porcelain tiles were repaired by Boss Shan and put me here, if they are repaired, they can be worth millions to say the least, if you can't find them, not only will I be unlucky, but you guys don't want to leave anything behind!"
