"Lao Zhang, don't think so much." After being silent for a long time, Elder Qin beckoned: "It's already past one o'clock at noon, and everyone is hungry, let's go eat first." ”

"That's right, it's time to eat. The world is big, and it is not as important as filling the stomach. Zhang Lao immediately chimed in and dragged everyone out.

Everyone also cooperated with the testing agency, went directly to a hotel with a good environment, entered the box, and ordered food. This meal is a bit tasteless, everyone just eats silently, really just to fill their stomachs.

After the meal, Zhang Lao lit a cigarette, and while swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, he frowned and said, "Disaster is coming, how do you think we should deal with it?" ”

"How else to deal with it, it's just a step at a time." Bai Lao shook his head and said: "It's good to be able to take care of one acre and three points of land in the province, do you still want to take care of the whole country?" ”

"Lao Bai, you said it lightly." Qin Lao was dissatisfied: "I see that you have nothing to do with yourself, and I think this is an antique porcelain matter, and it has nothing to do with calligraphy and painting, so I plan to stand by and watch?" ”

"What are you talking about, am I such a superficial person?" Bai Lao blew his beard and glared: "Who doesn't know the truth of cold lips and teeth, if the antique porcelain can't be sold, a crisis of trust will be formed, and other works of art will be affected as well." ”

"That's it."

Qin Lao nodded and said, "So we have to unite and work together to get through the difficulties together......"

While speaking, Qin Lao kept staring at several big shopkeepers in the antique city, obviously meaning something.

"Elder Qin, don't go around in circles, just say what you need us to do." Shopkeeper Li smiled bitterly, and knew that no matter what instructions the old people had, they couldn't shirk it, so it was better to cooperate obediently. Moreover, judging from what happened to Yue Da's shopkeeper, the old people are also very kind, if they suffer losses. Somehow will be compensated.

Weigh the trade-offs, pros and cons. Other big shopkeepers also opened their mouths to express their willingness to listen to the arrangements of the old people.

"I don't need you to do anything, I just hope you will be open and honest, take out all the things in the store, and let us investigate carefully." Seeing this situation, Zhang Lao was very satisfied, and at the same time comforted: "Actually, don't worry too much. After all, judging from the current situation, Mr. Zhu Da is taking the high-quality route. There will be no problems with low-end antique porcelain, you just need to pay attention to high-end rare porcelain. It shouldn't be an accident. ”

"To be honest, your risk is relatively less than that of the major auction houses." Tian Lao shook his head and said: "It seems that next year's spring auction may be much more deserted than in previous years." ”

"When the time comes, the people of the major auction houses don't know how they will grit their teeth and curse us old men for being nosy." Bai Lao chuckled, as if he was joking, but everyone understood that what he said was the truth.

Including a few big shopkeepers, there is no such idea in my heart.

After all, Mr. Zhu Da's fakes are perfect, and many people buy and sell them as genuine. Zhang Lao and others just debunked this fact. It must hurt the interests of some people, and it is naturally hated.

Therefore, the behavior of Zhang Lao and others has no practical benefits at all, it is just an obligation, and they will even attract scolding for themselves. However, Zhang Lao and they do not regret it, after all, in a certain period, someone must always stand up. Do what needs to be done. Otherwise, the entire society, the country, and the nation will really be completely hopeless.

In this regard, Wang Guan sincerely admires and does not mind contributing.

However, at this time, Wang Guan suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing.

The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone made everyone look over. It also made Wang Guan feel embarrassed, and he wanted to cut off the bell immediately, but when he saw the caller ID, he found that it was the number of the eldest brother Wang Kan.

At that moment, Wang Guan hurriedly got up, and after apologizing to everyone, he walked out of the box quickly and answered the phone.

"Brother, it's me." The signal was on, and Wang Guan said a little strangely: "It's almost half past two now, aren't you going to work?" How can you call me when you are available. ”

"Dad is injured, how can I have the heart to go to work."

"What, what's going on."

The sound from the mobile phone surprised Wang Guan, and he said in a panic: "What's the injury, is it serious?" ”

"It's not that serious, it's just that my foot is twisted and a little bruised."

When Wang Guan heard this, his heart was at ease, and he couldn't help asking: "It's so decent, why did you twist it?" ”

"It's not like climbing the mountain to collect medicine, it's twisted when it slips on the mud." The eldest brother seemed to be shaking his head and sighed: "I'm going out to buy medicine now, and my mother asked me to call and tell you...... Well, it's okay, let's do it for now. ”

"Toot ......"

At the end of the communication, Wang Guan put away his mobile phone and returned to the box seat with a somewhat melancholy expression.

Seeing this, Gao Dequan quietly asked, "Whose phone is it?" Something went wrong? ”

"It was my brother's phone call, and he told me that my father sprained his foot and asked me to go back." Wang Guan said that he planned to go home and have a look. If you say that you have work to do, naturally you don't need to be in such a hurry, anyway, my father's condition is not serious, so it's okay to slow down.

However, Wang Guan is now light, and he didn't go home on New Year's Day, and when he heard the news again, he naturally thought of going home to visit his parents.

"Why did you twist your foot?" At this time, Gao Dequan asked with concern, "Is the injury serious?" I know the chief doctor of the provincial orthopedic hospital, why don't you just take someone over for treatment......"

"It's not to the point of hurting the muscles and bones, it's just bruising." Wang Guan waved his hand lightly, but he was also a little worried: "It's definitely not serious, but it definitely won't be good, so I asked me to go back and have a look." ”

"It should."

Gao Dequan nodded in agreement, and asked again: "When do you plan to go back, do you want to lend you a car?" ”

"I'm going to leave now." Wang Guan said: "Fortunately, I came to the provincial capital, and it only takes two hours to return to Jiangzhou directly, and then it takes about three hours to transfer to Wuning......"

After calculating, Wang Guan frowned, and found that even if he set off now, it would be evening when he returned home.

At the same time, Zhang Lao also asked curiously: "Wang Guan, what's wrong?" ”

"Something happened to his family, and he's going to go back." Gao Dequan said.

"Hey, what's wrong, do you need help?"

"Who is Xiao Wang? If there is something to do, we may be able to help. ”

A few old people are kind and very welcoming. Wang Guan was very grateful, but declined, after all, it was not a big deal, so he naturally didn't need everyone's help.

After knowing what was going on, Elder Zhang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you should go back quickly." But if you take the car, it's definitely too late, and you might as well drive back faster. ”

Wang Guan thought about it and felt that it was the same, so he was a little embarrassed to borrow a car from Gao Dequan, and then said goodbye to everyone.

"Wang Guan, this is my phone number, I have time to contact more."

"By the way, my family is in ...... When you come to the provincial capital again, remember to go to my place to sit. ”

At this moment, several old people told Wang Guan their contact information and home address, asked for his phone number, and even invited him to their home as a guest.

This kind of situation is no longer within the scope of politeness, but a sincere friendship. No one thinks this is strange, but takes it for granted.

After all, Wang Guan's performance just now had deeply impressed everyone. If it is said that Wang Guan was able to enter the industry because of the relationship between Qian Lao and Gao Dequan in the past, then now he has gained a firm foothold in the collection circle and does not need anyone's recommendation and support.

I dare not say anything else, but after today, in the antique industry in the province, there will be a place for Wang Guan.

Soon after, under the farewell of everyone, Wang Guan drove away.

Watching the car disappear into the rolling traffic, an old man finally couldn't help but sigh: "You say, are we really old?" ”

"Old Wu, why do you have such feelings inexplicably?" Tian Lao next to him said strangely.

"Hehe, don't admit it." Wu Lao smiled and said: "When I was in Fengbaotang, anyone who saw that the enamel porcelain plate was a fake of Mr. Zhu squeaked at a glance. ”

Suddenly, there was silence, and no one spoke.

"Don't dare to speak." Wu Lao smiled, and then said with some bitterness: "You say, we can't even identify Mr. Zhu's fakes, but we have to make a huge investigation, isn't it a joke?" ”

After a long time, Qin Lao said slowly: "There is a specialization in the art industry......

"Less." Wu Lao shook his head and said, "This makes sense, but it's not all right. I think there are two main reasons. One is that we don't pay enough attention to it, talking about how powerful Mr. Zhu Da is, but in fact, we still have a somewhat contemptuous attitude in our hearts, thinking that he is outdated, and we can definitely identify it. So when looking at things, it is inevitable that you will be a little careless, and you will naturally be eye-catching. ”

"It seems that this is the case...... "Zhang Lao pondered, nodded slightly, and then asked, "What is the second?" ”

"Second...... That kid is an absolute freak! ”

At this time, Wu Lao couldn't help but speak: "I have been in the industry for more than 30 years, and I have never seen a young man like him who is young and has such vicious eyes. ”

"Don't say you haven't seen it, I haven't even heard of it." Bai Lao smiled and sighed: "Back then, at my age like him, I knew that antiques were just rags, and I didn't know anything else at all. ”

"Brother Ling Xi has a successor, it's really enviable and jealous." Qin Lao shook his head, and suddenly said with some concern: "I hope that young people don't squander their talents, lest there be a situation where Zhongyong will be injured." ”

"Old Qin, it's not our turn to worry about this matter, someone is more anxious than us." Zhang Lao chuckled and quietly pouted.

Everyone hurriedly looked over, only to see Gao Dequan walking aside, picking up his mobile phone and not knowing who to call, muttering as if he was reporting something.

Seeing this, several old men laughed one after another, admitting that Elder Zhang was right and that their worries were purely unnecessary.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

After laughing, Zhang Lao said with a solemn face: "Lao Wu is right, everyone should reflect on it, and we must pay attention to this matter seriously, lest some people think that we are not even as good as a junior......"
