Chapter 1103: Old Acquaintances
Chapter 1103 Old Acquaintances
……
After listening to Liu Dong's words and looking at the groggy environment around him, Chen Bao also understood that now was indeed not a good time to chat. Therefore, after temporarily suppressing the curiosity in the bottom of my heart, I followed Liu Dong to continue shopping in this ghost market.
Nearly half an hour later, although Liu Dong didn't get any heavy treasures worth tens of millions from this ghost market, he picked up tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of small leaks!
Just after Liu Dong bottled the blue and white gourd from the Xianfeng official kiln he had just obtained and handed it to Chen Bao and told him to do it, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ears.
"Liu Dong, is that you?"
Turning his head, looking at the old man in a gray coat with gray hair, but in good spirits and a free bearing, Liu Dong couldn't help but be surprised: "Old Wen?"
This old man is the owner of the Panjiayuan Treasure Pavilion, a well-known jade master in Sijiu City, and the first senior in the antique industry that Liu Dong has known since he came to the capital! Moreover, he is far away from Liu Dong, this master of jade cutting skills is also a specially appointed jade master of rose jewelry, so Liu Dong is deeply impressed by this old man! At the same time, he also respects him very much!
"Hehe, I didn't expect to meet you, a world-famous collector, in this ghost market, I'm really lucky, old man!" Wen Shuren walked over to Liu Dong with a smile.
"You are merciful, the words 'famous all over the world', I, a junior who has just entered the collection industry, am ashamed to be ashamed!" As he spoke, Liu Dong took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to Old Man Wen.
"Don't you dare to be ashamed? If you are ashamed now, then wouldn't I, an old man, be even more deserved? I hope there are no less than a hundred or ten people who know you as a big collector!" after shaking Liu Dong's hand. Wen Shuren said with a smile.
For the words of the old man. Liu Dong also knew that this was not made up by the other party!
With Tang Yin's "Spring Mountain Companion Road", Zhang Sengqiu's "Five Elements and Twenty-Eight Nights", Zigangyu's "Eight Horses" wrench fingers and many other precious antiques from Liu Dong's hands, he, a junior who has only been in the antique business for only two years, has become famous, not only surpassing almost all young generations. The collection is so large and so fine that it compares many of the older figures in the industry!
And so it goes. Those who are not convinced and want to come to the door to ask for advice, or who sincerely want to exchange their collection experience with Liu Dong, simply want to appreciate the many collections in Liu Dong's hands, or even want to come to the door to buy!
The number of people is as large as that of Jiang Zhiqing, but it also annoys Liu Dong, who likes to be quiet by nature.
Except for a few people who are close to each other and are not easy to shirk, most of them are pushing six, two, five!
However, Liu Dong is gone!
The person who did not give up found a friend who was close to Liu Dong!
Partisan management has always been the main means of communication among Chinese. With the closeness of Elder Wen and Liu Dong, he naturally received a lot of people who came to the door and wanted to know Liu Dong through his relationship!
But. Mr. Wen is over half a hundred years old and has rich experience. naturally knows how to interact with people like Liu Dong, so most of the people who came to the door were pushed away by him. Only those who have a deep background and can't shirk it will say a word to Liu Dong.
took care of the old man's face, and Liu Dong did not shirk these people.
"Oh, by the way, Liu Dong, I forgot to introduce you! This is Chang Wei, who is also a well-known person in the industry, and is also a member of the Beijing Collection Association!"
In fact, at the beginning, Liu Dong noticed a middle-aged man who was following Wen Lao, about forty years old, with an elegant temperament!
"Old Wen is too famous! My thin name is far worse than Mr. Liu!" Chang Wei said with a smile.
"You're welcome!"
After the two shook hands with each other, Chang Wei continued: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Liu! I hope to have the opportunity to communicate with Mr. Liu more in the future!"
"Thanks to Mr. Chang, I have only been in the industry for two years, please take care of me in the collection!" Liu Dong said politely.
And his modesty naturally won Chang Wei's favor!
At the same time, it also made him feel relieved, Chang Wei originally thought that Liu Dong had achieved such amazing achievements at such a young age, and he must be arrogant and a little difficult to get close to!
But now from a few simple exchanges, it seems that the other party is modest and polite, mature and steady, and quite like a gentleman in ancient times!
"No wonder with the pride of Elder Wen, he can get along with Liu Dong so well, it's really not easy!" Chang Wei said in his heart.
"By the way, I patronized and talked to you, I don't know ...... this young man next to you is?" asked Wen Shuren.
"Oh, his name is Chen Bao, and he is my fifth aunt's cousin!" he pulled Chen Bao to him and introduced them to the two.
"Fifth aunt, cousin?" Wen Shuren was stunned.
I have known Liu Dong for more than two years, and he naturally has a certain understanding of Liu Dong's life experience! This will suddenly appear a cousin, and he is also the child of the fifth aunt, this is obviously a large family!
However, despite the doubts in my heart. But this is Liu Dong's own private matter after all, and Wen Shuren doesn't want to ask too much.
"Old Man Wen, Mr. Chang, hello, my name is Chen Bao!"
After a brief handshake, Wen Shuren looked Chen Bao up and down, and asked, "Is Mr. Chen an overseas Chinese?"
"Old man Wen, this cousin of mine grew up in England!" Liu Dong said.
"I mean, this Mandarin is so 'intriguing'!" Wen Shuren smiled.
Hearing this, Chen Bao smiled embarrassedly. Although his parents often taught him Chinese when he was at home, he lacked an environment that he used it all the time. Therefore, although Chen Bao has no problem communicating in Chinese, just like Chinese people speak English and speak a 'Chinese accent', he, a banana man, also speaks Chinese as 'London dialect'! As long as people with a little experience know that the other party is from abroad when they hear it.
After this simple exchange, the four of them, especially Chang Wei and Chen Bao, can be regarded as knowing each other!
"By the way, Elder Wen, are you here to visit the ghost market?" Liu Dong said.
"Well, yes! twice a week. And the place where I live is also close to here, and I, an old man, don't sleep as much as you young people, so I got up more than an hour early and came to take a stroll! I met Chang Wei halfway just now, and the two of us were together!"
After finishing speaking, looking at the big bags and small bags in the hands of Liu Dong and Chen Bao, the old man said with a hint of expectation: "Liu Dong, it seems that you have gained a lot tonight?
Hearing this, Chang Wei's face also showed a look of anticipation!
Nowadays, Liu Dong's ability to pick up leaks on Taobao is not top-notch in the industry, but he is also famous!
"You always want to see, of course, you can, but this is not the place. ”
There are many people in the ghost market, and the three religions and nine streams are all-encompassing! Wealth is not exposed, which is even more important in this place.
“…… If you two want to see it, will you come to my house this afternoon?"
"This afternoon?" Elder Wen frowned, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it this afternoon!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't have time this afternoon, I'll stay in the capital for the next week, if you two want to see it, you can come over at any time!" Liu Dong said.
"Hehe, that's what you're waiting for! By the way, Liu Dong, if you are free this afternoon, you might as well come to 'Ruyi Xuan'!"
"Ruyixuan?" Liu Dong was surprised!
Like the Quancheng SF Tea House, Ruyi Xuan is also a private hall for members of the Beijing Collection Association to communicate and gather with each other!
"Old man, I'm not a member of the Capital Collection Association, is it appropriate to go?" Liu Dong hesitated.
Gatherings and exchanges between peers, Liu Dong naturally will not refuse. It's just that he is an outsider joining in, but it makes Liu Dong hesitate a little! Up to now, he has not forgotten the difficulties he received when he joined the Quancheng Collection Association two years ago.
Although now, Liu Dong still doesn't take these so-called 'embarrassments' to heart, but Liu Dong two years later is no longer the same as he was two years ago, and there is no need to make himself uncomfortable in order to join a collection association!
"Hehe, Liu Dong, you're too worried about this! Now there are a lot of people in the antique circle in Sijiu City who want to know you. ”
"What Mr. Wen said is very true! If Mr. Liu can come without hesitation, I believe that the colleagues of the Beijing Collection Association will definitely raise their hands to welcome him!" Chang Wei also said beside him.
There is a saying that 'many friends, many roads'!
Today's Liu Dong is not only famous in the antique industry, even if he is wealthy, it will also overwhelm the whole country! Naturally, there are a large number of people like him who want to make friends.
And Chang Wei is also one of them!
"Also, Liu Dong! This afternoon's gathering at Ruyixuan is an 'exchange meeting', and many colleagues in the industry will bring antiques to participate, and there are a lot of things to exchange. This is a great opportunity for you to add to your collection!"
Old Man Wen's last sentence completely moved Liu Dong.
The opening of the Yuanming Museum is imminent, and it is the time when there is a shortage of antiques. Therefore, after a little hesitation, Liu Dong happily agreed.
"Since Mr. Wen and Mr. Chang have said so, it would be too unkind for me to go again. Well, I'll be there on time this afternoon!"
"Haha, you know that if you say that, you kid will definitely agree!"
Finally, after telling Liu Dong the start time of the exchange meeting, after the four of them chatted with each other for a few words, because the sky was already dark, Wen Lao and Chang Wei still had to visit the ghost market, and Liu Dong, who had been shopping for several hours, already had the heart to leave. So the four of them separated!
I didn't sleep all night, Liu Dong was full of energy, but there was nothing unusual. And Chen Bao had already fallen asleep on the way back.
After carrying this dead guy to his room, Liu Dong began to sort out the night's harvest! )
