Chapter 15 Industry Leaders, Industry Elites
After finishing the finishing work in Xifeng City, Zhang Tianyuan and Xu Gang bid farewell to their hometown, said goodbye to their relatives, and took the high-speed train to Shangpu.
The reason why I chose high-speed rail is purely to save time, and the most precious thing for people who do business is time, in order to save a few hundred dollars to do ordinary express, it is completely sinful.
From Xifeng to Shangpu, it takes about five hours in total, which is the speed of the high-speed rail, which is completely equivalent to getting on the train in the morning and basically arriving in the afternoon.
Because Mu Ying came to Shangpu first, Xu Gang entrusted her to find a place to live, and as a result, Mu Ying rented a house of her family to two people cheaply.
The reason why I still have to collect money is to explain to my parents, otherwise if the house is Mu Ying's own, it will simply be free.
But even so, it is much cheaper than a normal house, and the conditions are very good.
The two of them went to see the house first, put down the surname Li, and then went out for a meal, and then planned to go to the jade shop.
This new opening, that must be someone to cheer, this Mu Ying has also helped to prepare, Mu Ying's company knows some people in the industry who have a face in Shangpu, they are all experts in collecting, in order to invite these people, but it took a lot of effort, the other party still pushed back, refused to be invited, and finally Liu Mengxun came forward to settle the matter, I have to say that Liu Mengxun's family, the influence in Shangpu is too great, almost everyone in the industry knows, no one knows.
On the first day of Shangpu, Zhang Tianyuan and Xu Gang hired someone to clean up the jade shop inside and out, and then the next day, the goods shipped from Xifeng also arrived, so Xu Gang and Zhang Tianyuan discussed it, and it was set to open on the third day, and it was just a coincidence that the third day was also an auspicious day for the zodiac.
On the third day, the bosses of the industry came, and with them, there were also Mu Ying and Liu Mengxun, I have to say that in the matter of the jade shop, these two women really helped Xu Gang and Zhang Tianyuan a lot, this grace, it may not be reported now, but it will definitely be reported in the future.
Opening and tailoring, eating and drinking, these things are commonplace, and it is okay not to mention them.
After a full meal and wine, everyone drank tea and rested in the jade shop, chatting by the way.
Today's guests, in addition to Mu Ying and Liu Mengxun, there are eight other people, but after the ribbon cutting, four people left, and there are still four people sitting and chatting together at this time.
Mu Ying got up and smiled: "Tian Yuan, I was too busy before, I didn't have time to introduce you to these people, now let's get to know each other again." ”
Zhang Tianyuan stood up very respectfully, bowed slightly to the four, and smiled, as a junior, this is how it should be, those four people look like they are all forty years old, and two of them are over the age of sixties, and they should be respectful as a twenty-five-year-old young man.
Mu Ying pointed to one of the old men wearing kung fu shirts, his hair and beard were completely silver-white, and he was in good spirits and said: "This is Dong Lao, the master of the Shangpu antique world! Dong Lao is now the honorary president of Shangpu University, and he is also a visiting professor, and he often goes to the school to teach some knowledge to students majoring in archaeology and history. Have you heard of the very famous True and False Eight Immortals Case back then?"
"Well, I've heard that although I was still young at that time, as long as I like antique collection, I won't be ignorant of that thing. It is said that at that time, there were two identical Yuan blue and white porcelain vases in Shangpu, and the pattern on them was the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Chart, so this matter is also called the True and False Eight Immortals Case. These two pieces of Yuan Qinghua, one of them is true, one of them is fake, with the technical conditions at that time, it is completely impossible to distinguish the authenticity, and can only rely on experienced appraisers to identify, the fake thing is really wonderful, stumped from all over the country, and even foreign identification experts, but the most Lu was recognized by two people. Zhang Tianyuan thought for a while.
"That's right, those two people, one of them is Dong Lao, and the other is the current president of the Shangpu Antique Association. Mu Ying said with a smile.
Speaking of this, I saw that Dong Lao stroking his beard proudly.
However, his expression was proud, but he spoke very modestly, he smiled: "The old man also pinched a sweat back then, if the judgment is wrong, it will cause serious international incidents, and then the technology is developed, which proves that the old man's judgment is right, which also goes to the old man's heart." ”
"Mrs. Dong is modest. Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly complimented.
If that thing is true, Zhang Tianyuan really admires this old man so much that he throws himself to the ground, without relying on skills and tricks, without relying on plug-ins, he can distinguish the difficult true and false Yuan Qinghua with experience and eyesight alone, which is really amazing.
After Mu Ying introduced Dong Lao, she pointed to another old man who was over the age of six, this person looked a little weak, and he was wearing sunglasses, skinny, as if he was a fortune teller on the street.
"This is Li Lao, once just because of a mistake in identification, he destroyed his eyes, but he has practiced an amazing touch, his hands, is a real treasure, Li Lao has an antique shop in Shangpu, and now it is handed over to his children and grandchildren to take care of, his favorite now is to meet friends in the industry, see more treasures. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan was immediately in awe, he destroyed his eyes just because of an identification error, which may be called stupidity in the eyes of some people, but in Zhang Tianyuan's opinion, this old man is definitely the kind of trustworthy person, and you never have to worry about suffering losses when doing business with this kind of person.
"Hello Mr. Li!" Zhang Tianyuan bowed and said.
"Hmm. This old Li didn't seem to like to talk very much, so he just nodded and snorted.
Then, Mu Ying introduced two other people to Zhang Tianyuan, these two are men in their forties, who look young and strong, but one is obviously rough and bold, dressed in sportswear, and the other is in a suit and leather shoes, polite and extraordinary.
"The bearded boss is Boss Xiao, who is in the jewelry business in Shangpu, and he also likes to collect, but it is purely a hobby! The other is Boss Murong, who is also in the jewelry business, but also in antique calligraphy and painting. Both of them are well-known figures in the Shangpu collecting world, and in order to collect, they can travel thousands of mountains and rivers, go to almost all places in China, and even go abroad to bid on some things. ”
"Hello two bosses!" Zhang Tianyuan continued to greet respectfully, not to mention what will happen in the future, for now, Zhang Tianyuan is a junior, there is no need to say anything about face or self-esteem here, greet the seniors, that is how it should be.
Xu Gang also greeted everyone for tea again and again, he was a rough man, not as careful as Zhang Tianyuan, so he didn't pay so much attention to it, he was very arrogant.
Zhang Tianyuan understands Xu Gang, so he apologized to everyone, these people can't be offended, they are all people with heads and faces in Shangpu, and they will be relied on to do business in the future, and if they are offended, they will be closed to their own money.
"A few people can come to our small shop today, it will definitely make the small shop flourish, and we will have to rely on your support in the future. Zhang Tianyuan learned the polite words learned in the book, and it was really a set.
"Boy, let's not go around the bush, a few days ago, a jade shop that is several times bigger than yours opened, and my surname Xiao didn't go to the party, it makes sense to come to you today. The bearded boss Xiao said.
As soon as Zhang Tianyuan heard this, he knew that there was something going on in the road.
"Boss Xiao, you ......" Liu Mengxun was a little embarrassed.
"Miss Liu, you don't have to say anything, we didn't come here to smash the scene, but I heard that Brother Zhang once acquired a "Balcony Post", which was described by Mr. Qigong, so I want to take a look, I don't know if it's okay?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan was relieved, he originally planned to sell the "Balcony Post", but he never found a suitable buyer, today there is an opening to know the goods, he is too late to be happy, how can he object?
It's just that the thing was so precious that he put it in the safe in the rental office and didn't bring it out.
So he said embarrassedly: "Dong Lao, Li Lao, Boss Xiao ......"
"Don't be so polite, call me Brother Xiao. ”
"Me too!" Boss Murong also interjected.
"Oh, Dong Lao, Li Lao, Brother Xiao, Brother Murong, it's not that I, Zhang Tianyuan, am stingy, it's just that I didn't bring that thing with me today, why don't you let you identify it another day?" Zhang Tianyuan said, saying that identification, it was polite words, Zhang Tianyuan still has a score in his heart about that thing.
