"Oh, let's hear ......."
For this Mr. Xu, Zhuang Rui is full of curiosity, the antique Tang Sancai with the word "Xu" is the only antique fake that Zhuang Rui can't find fault, if it is not the word inside, Zhuang Rui does not dare to break it rashly, but can only use the method of carbon 14 detection to determine its authenticity.

"Mr. Zhuang, you would never have thought that this guy surnamed Xu is a loser......"
Li Dali smiled, and then said: "Mr. Zhuang, the person you are looking for, is called Xu Guoqing, forty years old this year, his ancestral home is from Ci County, Handan, Hebei Province, in the mid-sixties, Xu Guoqing, who was just born, followed his parents to settle in Gaoyi County, Shijiazhuang......
In the 80s, our country began to encourage private entrepreneurship, Xu Guoqing's father had a hand in firing ceramics, so he opened a ceramic factory, and by the end of the 80s, it became a famous 10 million yuan household in Shijiazhuang......
Xu Guoqing's father died of illness in 1990, and the factory was handed over to Xu Guoqing.
It's just that this person doesn't do anything serious, he doesn't go out to run business, and he doesn't care about the production in the factory, and as soon as he takes over the factory, he builds a research institute and fiddles with ancient porcelain in it all day long.
It is said that this research on ancient porcelain is nothing, but Xu Guoqing is different, he actually smashed several Tang Sancai objects bought from abroad with a lot of money, all of which were smashed, and many people knew about it, and it became a joke.
In the 80s, there were relatively few private enterprises, and Xu Guoqing's factory had little competition with him, so the business was very good, but this person did not know how to maintain relationships, and after the 90s, various private factories emerged in an endless stream, and his ceramic factory was quickly eliminated......
No, after only more than ten years of hard work, Xu Guoqing has almost ruined the family business, and the factory is also in name only, Mr. Zhuang, do you say this person is a loser?"
"Hehe, this guy is kind of interesting......"
Zhuang Rui smiled and shook his head, from these Tang Sancai fired by Xu Guoqing, Zhuang Rui could see his superb skills, and he could also understand why he smashed the genuine Sancai porcelain, but Li Dali's description was right, this person is really an out-and-out loser.
You know, in the 80s, if you could sit on a net worth of tens of millions, it would be a great thing, much higher than the gold content of billionaires now.
The current richest man in Taiwan, the boss Guo, who is known as a net worth of 10 billion, was only worth 1 million in the late 80s, and there were less than 100 employees under him.
If Xu Guoqing has a little business acumen, not to mention that he has become a billionaire now, but at least he can occupy a place in the ceramic industry, Li Dali gave him the evaluation of the three words "loser", which is not wrong at all.
However, this person also made Zhuang Rui more curious, leaving tens of millions of businesses to take care of, specializing in fakes Tang Sancai, Zhuang Rui couldn't figure out what this person's idea was, if he wanted to say that he made and sold fakes, it wouldn't be a loss, and even the factory would go bankrupt?
"By the way, Mr. Zhuang, I originally asked this buddy to go to *** to meet you, but he was about to sell the factory and couldn't leave for a while, so I asked you to run this ......trip."
Li Dali suddenly remembered this, and hurriedly explained to Zhuang Rui, Xu Guoqing was in Mr. Li's heart, but he couldn't even compare to Zhuang Rui's little finger, it stands to reason that he didn't call him to *** to see Zhuang Rui, this matter has not been done by himself.
Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It doesn't matter, it's not far anyway, it's good to go there and take a look......"
Zhuang Rui also wanted to see, what kind of environment was this Master Xu in that could imitate Tang Sancai utensils that even many experts couldn't see flaws?
You must know that the imitation of ancient ceramics, not only the firing process is completely in accordance with the process of ancient ceramics, but also there must be an ancient firing formula, that is, in the materials and the temperature and heat of firing, it must also be the same, sometimes one degree more or one degree less, will make a kiln porcelain abandoned.
For example, in the ancient kiln ruins unearthed in modern times, a large number of broken ceramics are often unearthed, and those things are not said to be intact porcelain that are broken after so many years, but are broken by the potters after firing.
In ancient times, the royal firing of ceramic utensils, that is extremely exquisite, a slight flaw, must be broken and discarded, sometimes more than ten kilns may not be able to produce a fine product, so the ruins of the ground are all from this.
The Tang Dynasty has been more than 1,000 years ago, and the secret recipe of Tang Sancai's firing has long been lost in the long river of history.
Located in the hinterland of the North China Plain, Shijiazhuang is the core city of the third pole of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area, an important central city of the pharmaceutical and textile industries in China, one of the important modern service industry and biological industry bases, and an important commercial port in North China.
After more than three hours of high-speed, Zhuang Rui and others came to the boundary of Shijiazhuang, but there were still more than 50 kilometers away from Gaoyi County.
At almost 12 o'clock at noon, the two cars drove out of the Beijing-Shenzhen Expressway before and after, and at the intersection of the expressway, there was a car waiting there, Li Dali said hello to Peng Fei and signaled him to stop.
"Old Yu, you didn't do it authentically this time......"
After Li Dali got out of the car, he slapped a middle-aged man in the car on the shoulder.
The man suffered a punch from Li Dali with a bitter face, frowned and said: "Hey, Boss Li, I am also entrusted by a friend, I really can't help it, yes, you are here today, I will be the east, let's go to dinner first, and talk about it in the afternoon......"
"Well, there is a distinguished guest today, Lao Yu, forget about that matter, but if this guest is not entertained well, our friendship for more than ten years will be gone......"
Li Dali himself is a, and the black market auction he runs can't be seen, and he is also accustomed to this matter, and he doesn't blame Lao Yu for letting him help sell fakes.
"Hey, Mr. Li, Brother Li, you just put your heart in your stomach, come to my land, you can't leave if you don't drink well, I tell you, I will arrange several young girls to accompany you to drink when you turn around, you can do whatever you want......" Lao Yu saw that Li Dali was not angry, and his face suddenly smiled, but the expression looked very lewd.
Lao Yu and Li Dali have known each other for more than ten years, knowing that he likes this tune, he contacted several nightclubs yesterday and found a few good young ladies to come, ready to serve Mr. Li comfortably today.
"What?"
When Li Dali heard this, he was so frightened that he almost didn't jump up, and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Hurry up and call to withdraw, don't do these things......"
Li Dali went to *** city, especially after staying in the Beijing suburb club for a few days, and he didn't look down on the rouge fans in these small places.
According to Mr. Li's thoughts, based on Zhuang Rui's performance in that club, he doesn't want to play which star he wants, so he can play which star?
"Don't want it, I've given it all the money......"
When Lao Yu heard Li Dali's words, he was stunned for a moment, this old guy usually likes this the most, and when the big city is cracked down, he often runs to himself to have fun, why is it so abnormal today?
Besides, Lao Yu called eight young ladies today, and each of them paid 1,000 yuan, so it's a pity to be nothing.
"The one sitting in the car, playing is a big star, don't look down on these, don't be self-defeating, well, I'm not going to leave tonight, let's arrange the evening......"
Mr. Li is not a good bird, and after hearing Lao Yu's words, he immediately changed his mind and arranged the important work of accompanying Miss to the evening.
"Okay, let's drive and lead the way, let those young ladies withdraw, remember, don't persuade you to drink when you turn around, that person is not on the same level as us......" Li Dali explained a few words again.
You must know that if you come to eat with friends in the north, you can't do it without drinking, and if you drink too much, don't be hospitable if you don't get drunk, Li Dali is afraid that he will turn around and speak lightly, which will make Zhuang Rui angry.
"I understand, Mr. Li, don't worry......"
Lao Yu saw that Li Dali was explaining the importance of the people in the car in a few words, and he couldn't help but be more serious, his eyes glanced at Zhuang Rui's Audi car, and saw that Zhuang Rui didn't mean to get out of the car to say hello, and turned into his car.
After Li Dali returned to Zhuang Rui's car, he said: "Mr. Zhuang, Xu Guoqing's factory is not far from the county seat, let's go to dinner first, it's time for dinner......
"Cheng, Mr. Li, you can arrange it, just meet Xu Guoqing in the afternoon......"
Zhuang Rui nodded and agreed, drank some gruel in the morning, this will also be a little hungry, after a few cars drove into Gaoyi County, they stopped at the door of a restaurant that looked a little classy.
"Lao Yu, this is Mr. Zhuang from ***, Mr. Zhuang, this is my old friend Yu Zhengjun, and the goods this time are the ...... that flowed out of his hands."
After getting out of the car, Li Dali introduced the two to each other, Yu Zhengjun is also an extremely discerning person, and after a few polite words with Zhuang Rui, he led the person to a box in the hotel.
"Mr. Zhuang, these are all our Hebei specialties, Shijiazhuang's grilled chicken, Majia old chicken shop braised chicken, Bohai prawn, Qinhuangdao sea crab, steam-pot game eight immortals, come, Mr. Zhuang, how about the taste?"
Yu Zhengjun had already ordered the food, and there should have been a few young ladies at this table to help the fun, but now that they have all been withdrawn, Lao Yu remembered Li Dali's words, and did not dare to persuade him to drink.
The dishes on the table are all good, especially the steam-pot game eight immortals, when the lid of the steam-pot is lifted, the room is suddenly full of strange aromas, and the whole room is full of smell.
"This dish is good, Boss Yu has a heart......
Zhuang Rui didn't know the dirty affair between Lao Yu and Li Dali, so he sandwiched the chopsticks and the eight immortals of game, and immediately ate it full of praise.
"Hehe, Boss Zhuang eat more, this shop is called the Eight Immortals Pavilion, it is a time-honored brand, the main raw materials of this dish are roe deer meat, pheasant breast, mountain rabbit, ground sheep, Shafeng chicken, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, green peppers, these raw materials are steamed in the steam pot, this dish is cooked by the boss himself......"
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Lao Yu hurriedly introduced the dishes on the table to Zhuang Rui.
After eating a meal, Zhuang Rui knew more about Xu Guoqing, and dared to love the boss, who used to be Xu Guoqing's neighbor, and the two of them could be regarded as small.
The development of the Xu family in the eighties has driven many local people to make a fortune, although Xu Guoqing took over the factory and did a mess, but many people have initiated, and there are also ceramic factories, and the boss Yu is running the transportation in the eighties, and now there is a large fleet of vehicles.
As for the inverted antiques, it is Boss Yu's side business, and this matter still has to start with Xu Guoqing.
Although Xu Guoqing's business is not doing well, but the relationship with Yu Zhengjun has always been good, Xu Guoqing in the early nineties, those ceramic objects made are all given away casually, and Yu Zhengjun is among the people who sent it.
Yu Zhengjun was originally a car running up the transport, went to a lot of places, and made a lot of friends, once a southern customer came to his house, saw Tang Sancai in the living room, and was immediately confused, this thing is worth it Yu Zhengjun knew in his heart, and immediately gave the thing to the customer.
That is, from the mouth of this customer from the south, Boss Yu knew what antiques were, and later when he went out of the car to other places, he also paid attention, antiques were not so hot in the nineties, and he really took out a lot of good things.
However, Yu Zhengjun's idea is more correct, although he has made money on antiques, but the transportation has been running, and a transportation company has been formed, and the scale of the business is expanding step by step, in this small county, he can be regarded as a successful person with a net worth of tens of millions.
After so many years, Yu Zhengjun also exercised a little eyesight, and later met Li Dali, and poured a lot of real and fake objects from all over the country to Li Dali, which can be regarded as half of the antique circle.
After telling Zhuang Rui about these things, Yu Zhengjun said to Zhuang Rui: "Boss Zhuang, although my brother Xu is a little wooden, but his heart is definitely not bad, this time I want to help him turn over some money, the idea is that I have made up my mind, don't be embarrassed for Qingguo......"
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again: "Boss Yu, you misunderstood, I came here just to get to know Mr. Xu, I don't mean anything else, by the way, you said that Mr. Xu can't turn over funds now?"
When Zhuang Rui mentioned this, Yu Boss's face suddenly showed sadness, and he sighed and said: "Alas, how can he talk about turnover, the whole thing is exhausted, the daughter-in-law has run back to her parents' house, and I paid for the children'......s college education."
"How can this be? Doesn't Mr. Xu still have a bit of a family background?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment, dare to love this master has been mixed to the point of exhaustion?
Yu Zhengjun sighed and said: "Lao Xu doesn't know how to operate, he was cheated of more than 3 million yuan a few years ago, and the factory has no output value for three or four years, and there is still a group of people at that time......
In addition, he often spends money to buy some raw materials for porcelain or something, and even the house built by his old son has been sold, and now the workers have run away, and he has moved to live in the factory by himself, I can't figure it out, although this thing is really made, but it can't be sold at any price in China, why is he obsessed with making this thing?"
"Mr. Zhuang, don't let me be old and not authentic, I and Qingguo are small, and we met when we wore open crotch pants, but I can't help him in this matter, this is a bottomless pit, and I can't fill this hole......"
After hearing Yu Zhengjun's explanation, Zhuang Rui knew that the things made by Xu Guoqing were never sold, and whoever liked them would give them to whomever they liked, and I don't know how much has flowed out over the years?
But the cost of making this object is extremely high, each of which almost costs fifty or sixty thousand yuan, not counting those that are scrapped, so he can't stand it no matter how rich he is.
Xu Guoqing's wife used to support his hobby, but seeing that the trouser pocket was deflated day by day, she persuaded Xu Guoqing to listen several times, and simply ran back to her parents' house.
Now that Xu Guoqing's factory can't even afford to use electricity, he has a little aftertaste, so he picked up dozens of high-quality ceramics fired over the years and entrusted Yu Zhengjun to take action.
Yu Zhengjun met a first-class customer some time ago, and he took a fancy to Xu Guoqing's factory, but Xu Guoqing said that he was unwilling to sell anything, and in the end he broke up unhappily, and it was precisely because of this incident that Xu Guoqing took out dozens of works from his own collection and handed them to Yu Zhengjun to sell.
However, Xu Guoqing's original intention was to sell these things as modern handicrafts, and he didn't expect Yu Zhengjun to turn them over to Li Dali, if they didn't fall into Zhuang Rui's hands, these items might really be auctioned off in the black market.
……
"Mr. Zhuang, this is Lao Xu's factory, and now many people are eyeing this land......"
After eating, a group of people under the leadership of Zhengjun, drove to Xu Guoqing's ceramic factory, his factory is not far from the county seat, after driving for about 20 minutes, you can see the wall of the factory, but the area is not small. It seems that Xu Guoqing's factory has really reached the point of exhaustion, and the lime and cement on the outside of the wall have fallen off, revealing the red bricks of the 80s inside, and the roots of the wall are overgrown with weeds, a scene of failure.
Back then, Xu Guoqing's father chose this place to build a factory because it was surrounded by crop land and the land was cheap, but now there are residential areas and streets everywhere next to it, and it seems a little out of place for this factory to be placed here.
"Lao Xu, Lao Xu, hurry up and open the door......"
After parking the car at the gate of the factory, Yu Zhengjun smashed the rusty door, and there were a few dog barks from inside the door, but after hearing Yu Zhengjun's voice, it immediately turned into a low whimper.
"This guy can't even afford a dog, alas......"
Yu Zhengjun carried the leftovers that he had just packed in his hand and gestured, and Zhuang Rui understood what Boss Yu meant by letting the waiter pack them after eating just now.
"This person, I don't know what he's doing, Boss Zhuang, don't care, I'll call him right away......"
After waiting at the door for five or six minutes, there was no movement inside the door, Yu Zhengjun hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and dialed out, and after the phone was connected, this guy shouted directly and asked Xu Guoqing to open the door quickly.
"Old Yu, didn't you just bring food for Rhubarb and throw it in through the door? Why do you have to call me over?"
Xu Guoqing's temperament was slow enough, and after the phone was connected, he still waited for another seven or eight minutes before he heard footsteps and talking from inside the door.
As the tooth-souring sound of the iron door sounded, a middle-aged man with long hair, a sloppy beard, and thick lenses appeared in front of several people.
This middle-aged man's hair is very distinctive, at first glance, it is divided into three colors: white, red and blue, Zhuang Rui looked at it carefully, and then saw that it was originally a contaminated pigment, it seems that this person should be busy with something.
However, this image is far from the master in Zhuang Rui's mind, the whole is a decadent old boy, this image does not need to be dressed up, it is the same as the hippies in the seventies and eighties in the United States.
The middle-aged man raised his eyes and looked at Zhuang Rui and the others, turned his head to look at Yu Zhengjun, and said: "Old Yu, didn't I tell you, the factory is not sold but rented, my laboratory can't be moved, and also, if you want to rent or not rent to *** people, *** small *** The current porcelain-making process is still snatched from us back then......"
Zhuang Rui and the others were amused by this Xu Guoqing when they heard this, and they dared to love this is still a patriotic and indignant youth.
"Lao Xu, in addition to being normal when you are firing porcelain, can you be normal at ordinary times?"
Yu Zhengjun was also a little helpless with his old friend, and after pouring the food packed in his hand into the basin at the door, he said: "Lao Xu, I mentioned it to you, this is Mr. Zhuang, who came from *** on purpose, why don't you let us go in and sit......"
"Mr. Zhuang, I don't know Mr. Zhuang?"
Xu Guoqing obviously forgot what Lao Yu had mentioned to him, but although this person was obsessed with ceramics, he still understood the most basic human feelings, and let a few people in at the moment.
The yard of this factory is quite large, but except for the lime paved road, both sides of the road are overgrown with weeds, and a workshop facing the gate is even locked, and I don't know how long it has not started.
"I can sit in the laboratory here, let's go to the laboratory and do it......"
Xu Guoqing led everyone around the workshop, and Zhuang Rui immediately saw a big chimney, although it was not very high, but it was very thick, and under the chimney was the laboratory that Xu Guoqing said.
"Oh, I think about it, Lao Yu, isn't this village always the one you told me, and you can see that my three-color pottery figurines are fake, isn't it?"
As soon as he pushed open the door of the laboratory, Xu Guoqing turned around violently as if he was possessed by a ghost, startling the few people behind him.
"Yes, Mr. Zhuang just saw your three-color pottery figurines, so he came to see you, I said you let us go in first, pour a glass of water to make it?"
Yu Zhengjun and Xu Guoqing were very familiar with each other, and knew that this person was a bit chattering, so he pushed him away and let Zhuang Rui and the others in.
