Chapter 162: Stiff Neck (A)

In the early summer of '96, Beijing was hotter than usual, the breeze was weeping willows, and the green warblers were flying. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Cao Team and Zeng Qian traveled to Inner Mongolia to get married, Xiao Lei entered the Special Case Investigation Department, and the busy nowhere was nowhere to be seen, and the small courtyard of Hufang Bridge became the most friends in the Beijing entertainment circle.

In those two years, it was the beginning of the Shengshi Collection, and the business of the cultural and entertainment store gradually became popular, and auctions sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Driven by Lao Xu in the capital, the players of Liulichang gathered in the small courtyard to learn and communicate, drink tea and chat. Although I am not proficient in antiques, I am still interested in talking about the history and people behind an object.

In this circle, there are not many people I admire, one is the legendary Mr. Ma. He was originally in the film and television industry, and plunged into the collecting world overnight, and the essence of the things in his hands was about to catch up with the museum's collection. There are so many things that I simply got my own private museum, which is the first in the circle. What's even more powerful is that he has profound knowledge of history, chatting and telling stories does not follow the routine, and when he chats for an afternoon, the listener has no sense of boredom at all, but the more he tastes, the more flavorful he becomes.

There is also a Feng Ye of Liuli Factory, with old qualifications, high prestige, and poisonous vision, what he likes to listen to the most is that he talks about his interesting stories about shopping for things, wisdom and means dance together, and chance and insight fly together. Feng Ye's most legendary thing is that he often goes to various auctions to pick up leaks, and this inconspicuous thing is passed by him, and the value of it immediately doubles, and the seller does not beat his chest. Among Feng Ye's three sons, only the third child inherited Feng Ye's mantle, he likes it, he has a good understanding, plus Feng Ye's point, he also has a very loud name in the circle, and his nickname is Feng However, it means that he is good at picking up leaks and rarely looks away, and he will never let go of good things.

Feng but has been friends with Lao Xu for many years, and naturally he is also a frequent visitor to the small courtyard.

But these days, Feng but often bring a teacher named Liao Huansheng University of Science and Technology over, this person I have never seen before, Feng but very respectful to Mr. Liao, with his family education and arrogant temperament, he must be a rare master in the circle, but this Mr. Liao does not seem to be very interested in literary play, rarely mixed into Lao Xu and Feng but their conversation, but very insightful about philosophy, love to turn over my family's idle books, come and go, and don't care about Feng who chats in the yard, like to talk with me about philosophy, talk about history。

Although he is a teacher of system automation at Polytechnic University and a graduate of the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University, he has a deep study of philosophy and history, and now he has begun to study the history of religion, which surprised me. However, Liao Huansheng's way of learning is very traditional and rigorous, that is, reading books. He didn't have many classes at that time, and he spent more than ten hours a day reading books, and the rest of the time was spent searching for books.

In the major bookstores in Beijing, he is an absolute big customer, and he often goes to the glaze factory to buy rare books, which is a business that costs money like water. Rare books are more of a collection, as a high-end cultural and entertainment category, because it itself is not easy to preserve and is relatively scarce. But Liao Huansheng bought it back to really read, like reading an ordinary book, and took notes directly on the book, or tore off a page to make newspaper clippings, often making those old good books unrecognizable, even a layman in my collection circle looked distressed, but he was like a normal person. His energy to treat literature and play like dung makes me wonder how he got into the literary and entertainment circle, and he has become a rebel with Feng, where did he get so much money for him to make such a method?

Liao Huansheng entered the circle of literary play, and according to Feng Bu, it was a thunder on the ground, which suddenly appeared, and his reputation suddenly became famous. Feng didn't know Liao Huansheng at the morning market of the Panjiayuan antique market.

It was the autumn of ninety-four, and Feng went to Panjiayuan just after dawn. A few days ago, a friend told him that there were a few farmers from Shandong in the morning market, and there were some goods from the wrong way in their hands, including porcelain, jade, stone carvings, and a few town tomb beasts for sale.

Feng was interested in his heart, and entered the market early in the morning to see if he could meet those Shandong people. In a secluded corner to the south of the market, Feng only found his target, two burly men chatting with a middle-aged man squatting on the ground and wearing glasses, looking at what was on a broken mattress on the ground, which was supposed to be the stall of a Shandong farmer that his friend had told him.

Feng picked up a half-foot-high terracotta figurine statue placed on the ground, looked up and down, looked at the shape, looked at the production process, and looked at the clay texture at the broken fracture of the terracotta figurines, which should be the right thing in the Song Dynasty, but the things on the ground are relatively rough in workmanship, materials, and shaping are not very particular, it should be a tomb of a wealthy family, and the value is not very high. Feng was about to ask about the price, when he suddenly heard the teacher-like person next to him, talking to the Shandong man, and was immediately attracted.

The middle-aged man with glasses was Liao Huansheng, who obviously bought a pottery incense burner from the two Shandong people the day before, and kept asking the Shandong people if there was another one exactly the same in their hands. The Shandong people sighed and said that there was originally another one, but it was accidentally broken at home. Liao Huansheng asked him again, did he still have a large copper incense burner more than a foot high in his hand? As soon as the Shandong people heard this, they immediately became alert and kept looking Liao Huansheng up and down.

The most taboo thing in the antique circle is to get to the bottom of it, and you have to ask the seller about the source of the thing. Feng didn't think in his heart that this teacher must be a novice, and he didn't understand the rules of the industry, but looking at the Shandong man, his face was blue and white for a while, he was a little nervous and a little confused, it seemed that he was said by Liao Huansheng, and he didn't know how to answer. But how did Liao Huansheng know that the Shandong man still had a copper incense burner in his hand?

Liao Huansheng raised his eyes and looked at the Shandong man, held his glasses with his hand, and asked again, "If the incense burner has already been made, I don't know if the brass paperweight is still there?"

The Shandong man was so shocked that he took a step back, stared at Liao Huansheng, and couldn't speak for a long time, but his eyes gradually showed a hideous color, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Liao Huansheng stood up slowly, and just said lightly: "I'm also your old customer, I really want to buy two things, don't worry, I won't say anything if I have more people." ”

Shandong man obviously struggled for a long time, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, took out a small bag of newspaper bags from the snakeskin bag behind him, and quickly opened it, it was a ruler-long brass paperweight, which was quite ancient and exquisite, and it should be a good thing.

Feng But think about it, after all, Shandong people are doing an unsightly business, and people are clear about the origin and quantity of the things in your hands, so it's better to be honest.

Liao Huansheng didn't pick up the paperweight, took out five hundred yuan from his pocket, and handed it to the Shandong man, "I just brought so much, do you think it's okay?"

The Shandong man took the money, put it directly in his pocket without counting it, wrapped the paperweight in newspaper again, and handed it to Liao Huansheng. Liao Huansheng thanked him for a few words and walked away with his things. The two Shandong men saw that he was gone, and the things were no longer sold, so they left the market in a ragged manner.

Feng didn't think to himself, this person's ability to buy things and bargain is really amazing, so he found out the bottom first, neither scared nor threatened, and let the seller obediently sell cheaply. But this must have bought off the accomplices of the Shandong people, otherwise, how could we judge what those people had in their hands? If people are thoughtful and thoughtful, they are not ordinary people.

Feng didn't want to make friends with Liao Huansheng, so he followed from afar, wanting to find an opportunity to talk and chat.

But what surprised Feng even more was that Liao Huansheng took the paperweight, turned around and walked out of Panjiayuan, and walked out in the northeast direction. That year, the gate of Panjiayuan came out, and a few steps north along the road, there was a relatively high-end shop with decoration on the street, which was a shop dedicated to receiving those foreigners and wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Liao Huansheng obviously didn't go to the shop, he quickly turned into a shop called Qi Guxuan, which was not big and inconspicuous on this street. The shopkeeper was obviously familiar with him, looked at the paperweight, nodded, and turned around to get the money from the drawer.

Feng Duo hurriedly went in and asked Liao Huansheng, "May I ask how much money you plan to buy this paperweight?" Liao Huansheng was stunned, and before he could answer, the shopkeeper turned his face with an angry face, "Do you understand the rules, and you can't enter my store, where are you?... Yo, this is not Feng Sanye, a rare guest?Why, can you take a fancy to this little thing?" The shopkeeper turned around, saw Feng Fu clearly, and immediately changed his smiling face, and it was from the heart, like a smiling face like a spring breeze.

"Lao Li, the business is good, Henan came here to open a store in Liujiu City, I am optimistic about you, you have a good brain, many friends, Lu Ziye, this in and out is two or three thousand. "With Feng Bu's reputation in the Beijing entertainment circle, these small shop owners naturally want to stammer, and making friends with Feng Bu is equivalent to entering the Chang'an Club and the European and American Scholars Association in the cultural entertainment circle, which is a symbol of status, a signboard that cannot be bought with money. As soon as the Chrysostom opened, he praised two sentences, that is, the stall goods, and the price of flat land can also be turned over, besides, who is the old man.

"Feng Sanye teased, I haven't lined up for you to palm my eyes here, what's the matter, do you like this paperweight? Take it directly, what kind of money are we talking about, isn't it vulgar." "Boss Li's kung fu speaking, the tea has been served, the tea leaves are like needles, the roots are erected, the heat is slightly miao, and the tea is a good tea.
