Chapter 6: Apologies (2)
Steward Chen nodded and said, "I have already explained everything to Mr. Li, so I will leave now and come back tomorrow to pick up Mr. Lin." β
Lin Kongqing politely sent people out, and Li Yilin only came out of the tearoom at this moment.
As soon as I got off the train, I arrived at Buqing, I originally wanted to have a cup of tea and rest, but I didn't expect to see Zhang Weiwei with a smiling face as soon as I entered the door. It's really fortunate that Steward Chen is professionally trained, full of gentlemanly demeanor, and is Buqing's old customer, otherwise, he will definitely doubt Buqing's authenticity.
Even though he was a little tired, he still took over Zhang Wei's work and started a deal with the other party.
Although he has been in Buqing for more than five years, he has never actually had any contact with the owner of Steward Chen, and the number of times this housekeeper has come is actually not much, probably only three or four times, but every time, whether it is reception or formal work, it is done by the old shopkeeper, that is, Lin Kongqing's second grandfather, alone, and it is only after Lin Kongqing goes to college that he takes him along. He was also very curious about what was going on with this legendary rich man who had repeatedly contacted Bu Qing.
Except for Zhang Wei, who was judged by them to have social dysfunction in his eyes, even Zhang Zinan, who has been here for less than half a year, knows how to deal with these things. It's not a good idea to go on like this, and it might be good to let him see a psychiatrist if he has the chance.
Li Yilin, who was thinking about it, was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Lin Kongqing: "What's the matter with Steward Chen?" β
Li Yilin came back to his senses: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I ordered a cup of Longjing and said that it was left."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Wei's exclamation: "What, what, you said that the local tyrant ordered a cup of Longjing just now?" β
It's no wonder that he was surprised to be like this, Buqing's tea, even if it is not very famous, is the best of the selected kind of tea, especially Longjing, it cost tens of thousands of yuan to buy those teas, and this cup of tea is worth as much as 30,000 yuan in their Buqing.
Moreover, Bu Qing's tea will never accept credit, that is to say, this is several months' salary for him, but the other party didn't even blink his eyes, he swiped the money, and watched countless gold coins jump in his eyes.
I know that this guy is obsessed with money, and his eyes light up when he hears that he is rich. Lin Kongqing pressed his head down again: "Look at your computer, I won't need you this time." Brother Li, if you have something to say, go first. β
Li Yilin looked at Zhang Wei helplessly, turned around and entered the tea room again.
People here call him Brother Li, which sounds a bit bossy, but in fact, except for his age, he really doesn't have the so-called smell of rivers and lakes, but is more like a gentleman than Lin Kongqing, who wears suits and leather shoes all day long. Or rather, his own character, that's it.
Even though he is four years older than Lin Kongqing, he is still the one who habitually makes tea. Elegant but not steady, Lin Kongqing can enjoy this young master-level treatment with peace of mind.
"I don't blame Zhang Zinan for being a nymphomaniac to you all day long, and Brother Yilin is called that, compared to me, you are more like a noble son from a scholarly family." In fact, as soon as Zhang Zinan arrived in Buqing, he called the two of them the faΓ§ade of Buqing, but Lin Kongqing's personality is not very good, and she is not very gentle with this only girl, so in less than a month, her male god has been transferred from those star little fresh meat to Li Yilin in a blink of an eye.
Li Yilin smiled, didn't answer his words, and mentioned the things that he hadn't finished talking about before: "Steward Chen said that you still need to identify something." β
The old shopkeeper of Buqing was judged only by the intuition of collecting antiques for many years, but Lin Kongqing, despite the opposition of his family, studied professionally and appraised his background, and his vision was no worse than that of the old shopkeeper, so the other party did not hand it over to a professional appraisal agency, but asked them.
Of course, the reason for this is very important, but also because of the antique treasures collected by this big customer, many of them cannot be placed on the market, Bu Qing has never cared about the source of those things, but Lin Kongqing, who has seen it a few times, can vaguely detect something, but this is just an old man's hobby, and in fact, it has not harmed the interests of others, just don't see it.
Li Yilin said that he was very familiar with the appraisal, and originally thought that this time it was the same reason, but Longjing tea represents not an appraisal, but friendship.
Green tea, in Buqing, means things, related to friends, the higher the price, the longer the friendship with friends. Longjing is so expensive, in addition to its own high value, it also represents friendship with the other party, at least more than 50 years.
To be able to be friends for so long, their friendship must be very deep, so that they will not have to go to Buqing to solve the problem. Even if there is anything, it has been more than fifty years, unless it is small, otherwise maybe the other party is no longer in this world. This old customer is also in his eighties, give him a little less, how can the other party also be an old man, at this age, he came to ask Buqing to do something, Lin Kongqing also had great curiosity.
As for the appraisal, he is very familiar with the habits of this guest, because the appraisal of jewelry and antiques, generally speaking, it is impossible to know the price before he sees it, and the other party naturally has no way to drink tea according to the price. And the other party will also give the price of this cup of tea to the person who sent it.
Maybe the old man just let himself do an appraisal by the way, after all, it is much more convenient to call him over than to send him to the appraisal center. Lin Kongqing didn't care too much, and after hastily drinking the tea, he began to prepare those basic identification equipment.
When Steward Chen came the next day, Lin Kongqing was already ready with a large bag and waited at the door with Zhao Yongjie.
Usually, this kind of jewelry appraisal will not be brought to others, especially Zhang Wei, who has an eye for money, although there is nothing wrong with his character, but the way he looks at those things is really difficult to reassure. But today's main purpose doesn't seem to be identification, so you can bring others with confidence, in order to prevent Zhang Wei, a kid, from closing the store again if he is afraid of things, and in order to attract more customers, it is better to put the male number two who often appears in TV series like Li Yilin in the town.
The top-of-the-line luxury stretch sedan slowly left the street with two people in the midst of everyone's amazed gaze.
Lin Kongqing is an anxious person, and he knows this Steward Chen, so he naturally immediately started talking: "I don't know what happened to Mr. Wang this time?" β
Steward Chen shook his head slowly and said, "I don't know, the two things that the master asked you this time have never told me. β
He has followed Master Wang for more than 40 years, and it can be said that only he knows the things of the master, the physical condition of the old man, which grandson he likes the most, and even what is written in the will.
But this time, he really didn't know anything other than knowing the piece of jade unicorn that had inadvertently turned over from the warehouse.
Jade, it looks like I'm going to have to go to the laboratory this time. Lin Kongqing looked helplessly at the things he was carrying.
It is not difficult to identify the authenticity of the type, but if you want to judge the vintage, it is a little difficult to say, all antiques, only with the naked eye to observe the vintage is the most difficult thing for people. But fortunately, it is not calligraphy and painting, otherwise he must have been sent directly to a professional laboratory, and he didn't even have to look at it.
So the road was silent, and I arrived at the old man's house.
It was not the first time he had come back to such a magnificent home, but it was the first time that Lin Kongqing knew that the old man had so many family members, and there were at least fifty people scattered in the hall. As soon as he saw Steward Chen bring people in, his knife-like gaze stabbed him.
Lin Kongqing thinks that his psychological element is strong, but in the face of so many people, his face has not yet reached the realm of invulnerability, and he feels a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Zhao Yongjie was there, and finally the three of them walked upstairs smoothly. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I didn't expect them to come so early, I think, they may think that you are the master" The following words were a little inappropriate, and Steward Chen didn't say it. However, even he did feel a little panicked in the face of these people's terrifying eyes, and Lin Kongqing was still able to maintain his composure, which also made him a little impressed. "I'd be happier if I were a lawyer." Lin Kongqing also understood Steward Chen's difficulties, and the people below who were arguing over family property gave Steward Chen and himself a step down.
Seeing that the other party was so reasonable, Steward Chen also felt relieved, and continued to lead the two through the foyer on the second floor, and walked towards another small building from the stairs at the back door.
But along the way, Lin Kongqing no longer looked polite, but rarely changed to a heavy expression.
There were so many people waiting in the hall, and the sentence that seemed to be joking, but was actually tentative, was not denied or retracted by Steward Chen, that is to say, the old man's body, I'm afraid it's no longer good.
Could it be that this time is the last time the old man will come to Buqing to entrust affairs?
With this premonition of not wanting to, Lin Kongqing finally met the old man.
