Chapter 858: Tomb Beast
PS: The second more is asking for monthly passes and recommended tickets, please support more.
"Boss Zheng."
At this time, Tang Qinghua also responded enthusiastically: "I've kept you waiting." ”
"It's easy to say...... it's easy to say"
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and you and I said a few words that were not nutritious. Then Boss Zheng also noticed Wang Guan and Yu Feibai, looking at their casual appearance, he knew that the two were definitely not Tang Qinghua's followers.
At that moment, Boss Zheng asked intellectually: "Mr. Tang, who are these two?" ”
"My friend, they went to Luoyang to do some business, and they happened to come together." Tang Qinghua explained casually and also introduced it.
Hearing Tang Qinghua say that the two were his friends, Boss Zheng immediately realized that they were potential big customers, and naturally greeted them more enthusiastically: "The arrival of distinguished guests is really brilliant." ”
Wang Guan and Yu Feibai also smiled and said a few polite words, anyway, it's hello, I'm good, take care of me in the future, and so on. Life is like this, even though you know that you are talking nonsense, you have to say it. Because everyone is saying that if you don't say it, you are not social, and you have become a withdrawn outlier, and it is easy to be excluded.
Anyway, after some nonsense, the atmosphere is a little happy. Boss Zheng also played the style of the protagonist, and invited the three of them to the store's tea room to sit and rest. During the period, it must be boiling water and tea to entertain guests, asking for warmth from the cold, and discussing the weather and traffic conditions. finally finished these kind words, and it was only natural to cut to the point.
"Boss Zheng, are those things you said here?" Tang Qinghua asked, his gaze wandering.
"Not here." Boss Zheng hurriedly explained: "The owner of the thing is still a little uneasy, and it is estimated that Mr. Tang will need to come forward to talk to him in person to be at ease." ”
"Hmm."
Tang Qinghua nodded and said: "As long as the thing is really good, whatever he asks, we can consider and agree." ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I can guarantee that it is definitely a high-quality baby." Boss Zheng patted his chest and said, with a happy smile on his face. He had reason to rejoice. After all, as an intermediary of fiber pulling, if the business goes smoothly, his benefits will definitely be indispensable. Otherwise, how could he be a local snake, how could he put aside his business and wait for Tang Qinghua to come over.
"In that case......
At the right time, Tang Qinghua stood up and said with a smile: "If Boss Zheng is free now, you might as well take us to have a look." If all goes well, the contract can be finalized. At noon, a banquet was held to celebrate the achievement. ”
When Boss Zheng heard this, of course he would not hesitate and hurriedly led the way in front. To be able to run such a large store, there must be no shortage of people to help, so he casually told the guy to look at the store, and he drove over to the nearby parking lot......
During this period, Wang Guan and others inevitably chatted a few words.
"It turned out to be just matchmaking, I thought I would buy it directly here." Yu Feibai said curiously: "Qinghua, have you inquired clearly?" What is the origin of the owner of the thing? ”
"A local collector." Tang Qinghua said with a smile: "I have been collecting antiques for more than 20 years, and I don't know what the reason is, I urgently need a sum of money, so I asked Boss Zheng to help find a home." Serendipity. It's related to our Zheng Yaxuan. ”
"Hey, in this way, Zheng Yaxuan's influence is not small."
Yu Feibai's words are not sarcasm, but heartfelt. After all, compared to the big auction companies that have been operating in China for many years. Zhengyaxuan is a rookie in the industry, and he can open up the situation so quickly and emerge. Naturally commendable.
"What influence, this is smashed with money." Tang Qinghua was more self-aware, and explained with a wry smile: "Now, collectors in the industry regard Zhengyaxuan as a big talent, and they want to take advantage of it. ”
"That's a good thing." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "People think that Zhengyaxuan people are stupid and easy to cheat, and they definitely like to do business with you." After coming and going, business naturally prospered, and a good reputation was slowly formed. ”
"Hmm."
Tang Qinghua nodded and admitted: "This is our recent business strategy. ”
For the company, the so-called near term certainly does not mean two or three months, but two or three years. In the past few years, if the results are remarkable, we will definitely make steady progress on this basis. If it doesn't work, then you can consider changing the plan, or simply give it up, so as not to waste more money.
However, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai believe that with the general trend of the antique collection market becoming more and more popular, as long as Zheng Yaxuan's business direction does not go wrong, they dare not say that they will become the leader in the industry, but it will definitely not be a problem to turn losses into profits, at least they can earn back the money invested now with profits.
In this regard, Tang Qinghua is also very confident.
"Everybody, get in the car."
At the same time, Boss Zheng drove over. This is an elongated sedan, the snow-white body shines in the sun, giving people a very high-end atmosphere and high-grade feeling.
Since it is an extended model, the interior space is definitely more spacious. When the three of them got into the car, they didn't feel cramped at all, and under the instruction of Boss Zheng, they took out the red wine drink from the Xiaoice box in the car and tasted it carefully, which was also very pleasant. When they finished drinking a drink, Boss Zheng also happened to stop slowly.
Wang Guan immediately put down the cup, and then his eyes poked out, only to see that the car had come to the outskirts of the city. This is a relatively quiet and elegant residential area, with mountains and rivers, in the words of the developer, it is a dream real estate close to nature and the unity of nature and man.
"This is it."
At this time, Boss Zheng got out of the car and signaled: "Mr. Qin lives there." ”
The other three also got out of the car, took a look at the situation, and saw that Boss Zheng was referring to a three-story exquisite villa. A rockery was erected in front of the courtyard with a few stones, and the spring water fell down to form a small pool, which then flowed down the culvert into a nearby river.
This kind of design is the ocean view room often mentioned in the real estate advertising words. It's not a joke, and even a stinky ditch dares to exaggerate to claim that it's the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to call a small pool an ocean.
"Ding Dong!"
At this time, Boss Zheng stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
"Who?"
After a few moments, an old voice came from the instrument next to the doorbell.
"Mr. Qin, it's me, Xiao Zheng of Boji Hall." Boss Zheng is very polite, after all, people who do business must be respectful to the God of Wealth, and they will not get along with money.
"Oh, wait a minute."
Before the words fell, the iron fence gate outside the courtyard was locked, and Boss Zheng gently pushed it, and the fence opened silently. At this time, as if he was the master here, he turned around and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Tang, please come in." ”
The three of them happily entered, and only walked more than 20 steps to the main entrance of the villa.
At the right time, there was no need for Boss Zheng to call, the main door clicked open, and an old man with neat clothes and short and gray hair came out. He is relatively tall, but he is a little unsmiling, and when he saw Boss Zheng bringing someone here, his eyes swept over, and his face was a little more confused.
"Mr. Qin, this is Mr. Tang of Zheng Yaxuan, as well as his two friends." Boss Zheng hurriedly introduced: "The three of them came from the capital to discuss a few things with you. ”
"Oh, welcome."
Hearing this, Mr. Qin had two more smiles on his face, and then stretched out his hand to invite: "Let's go in and talk about it." ”
Wang Guan and the others must have no opinion, and under the greeting of Mr. Qin, they calmly walked into the villa. However, when they arrived at the door of the hall, the three of them suddenly saw something, and they were startled without psychological preparation.
"What is this ......?"
Yu Feibai stopped in astonishment, and after calming down, he found that the thing was a beast statue. A slightly frightening beast statue, with a human face covered and limbs squatting, but the head is held high, and the teeth are grinning, which is really a little scary at first glance.
"Hehe, sin, sin, I forgot to remind you."
At the same time, Boss Zheng hurriedly explained with a smile: "This is our 'specialty' in Luoyang, the shape is relatively unique, the first time I saw it, I was so scared that I almost ran back." ”
Although Boss Zheng was selling Guanzi and didn't mention the origin of the thing, after looking at it for a while, Wang Guan also vaguely understood, and said with a smile: "This should be the tomb beast." ”
"Yes, it's the Tomb Beast." Boss Zheng praised: "Brother Wang is really good eyesight." ”
"I've heard people say ......"
Wang Guan smiled and couldn't help but watch carefully.
The ancients had the concept of treating death as life, which led them to pursue the custom of thick burial. After the death of the emperors and generals of the past dynasties, the high-ranking officials and nobles buried the things in front of them in their tombs as burial objects. And many of these funerary goods are priceless gold and silver jewelry, which attracts groups of tomb robbers to patronize here.
In order to make himself rest in peace after death and not be disturbed by tomb robbers, the owner of the tomb set up many hidden weapons in the tomb. It can be said that the organs are exhausted, but they can't resist the harassment of tomb robbers.
Conventional methods don't work, so while making various hidden weapons to protect the tomb, you also want to use the power of the gods to guard your own tomb. Over time, a kind of tomb beast was produced, which is this kind of tomb beast.
It is recorded in the book "Zhou Li" that there is a monster called the elephant, which eats the liver and brain of the dead. In addition, there is a kind of mythical beast called Fang Xiang, which has the ability to expel dragons and elephants, so the family often makes Fang Xiangshi stand on the side of the tomb to prevent monsters from invading.
According to scholars' investigation and research, the custom of using tomb beasts evolved from the legend of Fang Xiang. Later, after continuous development, it became a kind of dark weapon set up to suppress ghosts and protect the souls of the dead from invading.
This kind of thing was first seen in the tombs of Chu in the Warring States period, popular in the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and gradually disappeared after five dynasties.
However, such a thing is more eerie and terrifying, and ordinary people will definitely ignore it when they see it and know that it is a funeral item, so it is generally kept in a special museum, and it is indeed relatively rare for Mr. Qin to be directly stored at home. How to say that this is also a spiritual weapon, out of the psychology of avoidance, few people are willing to touch their hands.
"It's purely psychological."
Perhaps perceiving the thoughts of Wang Guan and others, Mr. Qin said: "Tang Sancai is also a spiritual weapon, but after decades of development and operation, it has become a good gift. To put it bluntly, it's a matter of concept......" (to be continued......
