Chapter Seventy-Seven: Betting
"Brother Feng, I heard that a nationally famous antique dealer came to Deshui City recently, and he wants to open an exhibition in our place, and the appraiser brought is said to have a first-class vision, many people with heads and faces in Deshui City usually collect a few antiques, today the antique dealer is in the Convention and Exhibition Center to openly appraise treasures, let's two brothers also go to open their eyes?" Wang Jiaxin said to Feng Fei after loading the goods,
"I don't have any antiques, and I don't understand those things, so I don't ...... them."
"Brother Feng, the visit is secondary, the main thing is to expand your business, today is not only to the dignitaries, but also to many bosses of the catering industry in the surrounding cities, and on such occasions, there are a few who are really appreciating treasures, all of them are aimed at winning over partners and interpersonal relationships. Wang Jiaxin wanted to participate in such a gathering a lot, and it was the first thing to say.
"Oh, isn't that similar to the balls and drinks of the upper class people on TV?"
"The nature is similar, but this time it's mainly about antique appreciation, don't think about drinks and dancing girls, let's go together, maybe you can meet a few catering giants." ”
Listening to Wang Jiaxin's words, Feng Fei felt a little moved in his heart, originally after the farm was completed, he had the idea of expanding the customer network, so it was better to go to this treasure appreciation conference to have a look.
"Okay, let's go and open our eyes!" Feng Fei clapped his hands and said.
"Are the beauties of Zhou Da going? There are no dancing girls, there may be a lot of handsome guys and beautiful men" Wang Jiaxin saw that Feng Fei agreed, so he turned his head and asked Zhou Ruoxue.
"I'm not as leisurely as your two bosses, but I work for other people, so I don't have the heart to look at it!" Zhou Ruoxue got into her car after speaking, rolled down the window and poked her head out and shouted, "Two handsome guys, be careful, don't beat the antiques to others, you can't afford to pay ......"
After speaking, without waiting for Wang Jiaxin and Feng Fei to return the favor, they waved and led the truck away.
"Eh, Brother Feng, why do you say that Ruoxue will be sarcastic every time she sees us this week?" Wang Jiaxin said while touching the back of his head.
Feng Fei smiled and looked Wang Jiaxin up and down, "Don't get involved with me, it's you who is sarcastic!"
After the two joked and got into the car, they went straight to the convention and exhibition center, and as soon as they entered the hall, they saw that there were already a lot of people inside, most of them were dressed in suits and leather shoes, dressed like successful people, and there were also many people who were dressed plainly, holding bottles and cans in their arms, and they were probably folk collectors, holding their own collections to try their luck.
Different from the treasure appraisal program that Feng Fei saw on TV, there are five or six appraisers here, sitting behind the tables lined up, and most of the people waiting for the treasure appraisal gather together in twos and threes, talking to each other, how do they look like farmers selling vegetables, gathering together and waiting for the vegetable merchants to weigh up,
"Wang Jiaxin, this is what you call the treasure appreciation conference? What kind of treasure can there be in such a scattered and amateur way?" Feng Fei asked with a surprised expression.
"This is the first floor, and they are all not very well-known appraisers, and the real masters are on the second floor, and they can only submit them to the person on the second floor after they have verified whether they are genuine. Wang Jiaxin explained to Feng Fei in a whisper.
"Oh, that's it," Feng Fei looked at with interest, I don't know if these people have those amazing collections that were auctioned in the capital at the beginning, it is not very likely, after all, Deshui City is just a small city, and it can't be compared with those big cities, it would be good to be able to produce a few million things, like those treasures auctioned by Baoyi Auction House, which are often tens of millions, will definitely not appear here.
"Haha, this gentleman, your plum vase is not bad, the blue and white lotus pond mandarin duck pattern plastic dragon plum vase in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the current highest auction record is 4.8 million, you can go upstairs and hand it over to the one above for the final estimate. ”
There was a sudden sentence like this in the crowd, and many people immediately surrounded him, Wang Jiaxin also patted Feng Fei on the shoulder and said, "Haha, did you hear it? ”
Feng Fei was also a little curious, and walked over, it turned out to be a bottle in the style of a wine jar, the opening was very small, and the bottleneck was also very short, but the bottle body was very large, the bottle body was slender, and the smaller it was to the bottom, and the overall shape was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with mandarin ducks and dragons painted on it.
Many people don't know what this so-called plum bottle is, so the treasure is beginning to introduce, "plum bottle, in ancient times also called" Jing Bottle ", is used to hold wine containers, the shape is very beautiful, Qiao Li, after the Ming Dynasty is called the plum bottle, because its bottle mouth is small can only insert plum branches and get the name, first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, in ancient times the emperor will lecture at the banquet, after the lecture will be with the ministers to drink, and the wine is in this plum bottle, so it is also called "Jing bottle". ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that this was a wine bottle from the Ming Dynasty, but they thought so in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it in their mouths, and they all congratulated the owner.
Feng Fei and the others also raised their eyes to see whose treasure it was, and at this look, both of them were stunned for a moment, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, Chen Bin of pastoral food.
Chen Bin also found Feng Fei and Wang Jiaxin at this time, and the smile on his face immediately became more proud, and he squeezed through the crowd of onlookers with a plum bottle in his arms and came to the two.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Feng and Boss Wang, you also have treasures to appreciate, why didn't you make a move?" But I advise you not to be embarrassed, one is a farmer selling vegetables, and the other is a young master who is about to close down a restaurant, you two have a little family background, tsk......"
Chen Bin shook his head, his mouth slurped, and his harsh words, coupled with an under-flattened face, are typical villains.
"Chen Bin, don't be a villain, isn't it just a Ming Dynasty wine bottle, look at you, my old man has also collected a few, do you want to compare it with you?" Wang Jiaxin was furious when he saw Chen Bin, and immediately ridiculed him.
"Hehe, who are you, Wang Shao! Of course, the family is a bit old-fashioned, but this Mr. Feng, I don't think it's his father's generation, even if you go up for four or five generations, no one may have collected antiques, isn't it, Boss Feng?"
Chen Bin looked high, and Feng Fei, who had a raised head, could see his nose hair, and suddenly targeted himself, thinking that it was also because of Liu Qingqing's matter.
Feng Fei is now adapting to gradually forgetting Liu Qingqing, and even ignoring Chen Bin a little, he just kept a gloomy face and didn't speak.
Chen Bin thought that Feng Fei was scared, and he was even more unscrupulous, "Boss Feng, if you can come up with a collection that is as valuable as mine, how about I immediately smash my plum bottle on the spot?"
After Wang Jiaxin heard this, he was furious, he knew Feng Fei's situation very well, his ancestors had been farmers for generations, how could he take it, and immediately pointed at Chen Bin's nose and shouted, "Chen Bin! Don't deceive people too much! There is a kind of comparison between the two of us." ”
The crowd of onlookers didn't know why the three of them quarreled, and they all began to discuss, Chen Bin saw that everyone was around, and said with a smug smile, "I'm not a bully, everyone doesn't know, this Boss Feng is the one who sent sky-high vegetables to Jixiangju and Tianfengyuan, but people can earn a lot of money of more than 100,000 yuan for sending vegetables once, Boss Feng, do you dare to make this bet?"
Feng Fei held down the angry Wang Jiaxin, calmly looked at the arrogant Chen Bin and said, "If I take out a collection that is worth more than yours, you really smash your plum bottle on the spot?"
