"I know the way, I know the way, do you want to say that that time he went to the countryside to collect antiques and wanted to buy the villagers' bowls, but he bought their cats!" Xu Lei hurriedly said, giggling happily. Wu Chen was speechless for a while, what kind of era does such a low-level story have to be, that one is good, he was deceived by this kind of deception, it seems that there is really a market for one trick.

"Of course not! That's when the industry was new, and you were still wearing open crotch pants. Xu Dong said that the little girl was full of black lines, this second brother is really unreliable, how old are everyone, and he said that he is not afraid of being shy with open crotch pants.

"In the past two years, once this elder went to the old house with someone, just outside the founding gate, isn't it all built now? At that time, there were a few small alleys that had not been demolished, and when the elders were visiting Panjiayuan, they heard the rumors, saying that there were old things that were not old or young, and many hawkers went there to shop, so they moved their minds and went there for a long time, but did not find anything worth selling. ”

"I was just about to come back, and when I saw a person coming out of the house in front of me, I saw that the elder looked stunned, and he hurried away. Although everyone is not very familiar with each other, they are just nodding friends, but they are all engaged in collections, why is the behavior a little weird today, the elders think it is weird, so they go in to see. ”

"Let's go in like this, what if someone else is a kidnapper and kidnaps him?" Xu Lei was originally angry, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but interject, hearing that Xu Donggen and Wu Chen had a black line in her head, the imagination of the little girl is really not ordinarily strong, but it's okay, it's good for girls to have such a sense of prevention.

Xu Dong nodded as a sign of encouragement, and then said, "That's not going to happen, unless it's a real outlaw, and the general wouldn't dare to tie him up." After the elder entered, he found that this was a bit dilapidated old house, there was a table of eight immortals in the middle hall, it was not ordinary at first glance, he stepped forward to take a closer look, the table was tan, not painted, the wood grain was clear, the workmanship was concise, only there were some common simple paper patterns at the edge of the table, there was no complicated ornamentation, which was very in line with the characteristics of Ming Dynasty furniture. ”

The elder's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked carefully, and found that the whole table was a mortise and tenon structure, focusing on functionality and practicality, combined with the eyes that he had hidden before, the elder could basically judge that this was a yellow rosewood table of the Ming Dynasty, accompanied by two chairs, looking at it was a set, and couldn't help but be ecstatic, and finally found something good for himself!

Old furniture in antiques is also a major category, which is a bit the same as jade, and the key to determining the value is not the age, but the material and workmanship.

The Ming and Qing dynasties are the golden age of the development of Chinese classical furniture, the furniture material is mostly made of huanghuali, rosewood such as hardwood, rarely use other materials, plus the skills of several factions that are really ingenious, such a set of intact huanghuali wood table to get in hand, that can simply wash away their "shame" for several years!

Immediately talked to the master about the price, but the master said that this table had been booked just now, and the elder was more and more convinced, and he was full of regret.

It just so happened that a middle-aged woman neighbor of the owner was also present, so she persuaded the owner that the deal had not been completed anyway, and the person had not paid the deposit, so it was not without integrity, as long as the price was right, you might as well talk.

After persuading for a long time, the owner of the family finally looked at the elder hesitantly and said that this thing, the previous person offered 600,000 yuan. The elder didn't know what the master of the Dao meant, and he was full of enthusiasm, and he opened his mouth to increase to 800,000. The owner gritted his teeth and agreed, but he insisted on cash.

The elder thought to himself that if something was true, at least a few million, this would be a big leak! Of course, money is not the most important, the main thing is to pick up the face! He was afraid that the things would be gone, so he didn't dare to walk away, so he called the assistant to send the cash over as soon as possible, and the deal was made on the spot. Xu Dong said for a long time, felt thirsty, picked up the cup, and drank it in three or two sips, regardless of whether it was coffee or not.

Xu Lei blinked, and suddenly said: "I know it, it's that table, which has been displayed in the living room for a long time, once I went to be a guest with my father and listened to him brag for a long time." Hehe, after going home, my father still sighed for a long time, and told my mother that I was afraid that the boys in the family would also learn to lose! ”

"What a loser!" Xu Dong smiled bitterly, he is a top red descendant and an only son, and his parents naturally hope that he can enter politics, that is the right way. He was okay when he was a child, he was clever and bold, and he was quite a leader among his friends, and his parents were very pleased.

I never thought that this child would become more and more crooked as he grew up, and then he mixed in the circle all day long, and now he doesn't even do serious business, what kind of antiques, you can go to a state-owned enterprise, step by step, and then you can't get a reliable company, even if you do the related business of those state-owned enterprises! Fortunately, there is a cousin in the family, who mixes like a fish in water in the system, so he can be so free.

Xu Dong coughed a few times, and hurriedly said: "Cough, cough~, back to the elders, just this table, take it back and put it in the lobby, whoever comes has to blow it, and then several experts came to the door, and after reading it, they were noncommittal, and they were anxious, looking for Ma Lao to see, where is the Ming Dynasty Huanghuali, it is clearly a modern imitation, and the material is not Huanghuali, but Caohuali!"

The real Huanghuali refers to the national standard in the fragrant sandalwood, this wood is almost cut off, as a supplement, in the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, there are several kinds of counterfeit Huanghuali wood, Caohuali is one of them, relative to the "Huanghuali", Caohuali wood is coarse, brown eyes are large, but ordinary people really can't distinguish. ”

"Yes, now everywhere is talking about huanghuali, red sandalwood or something, in fact, this material is basically cut off, and now most of the market is under its name. Not to mention the sea yellow, it is more yellow or something, it is rare. "Wu Chen has also learned it sporadically, so it's still okay to give it a go.

The elder was angry and chopped the table to make firewood, in fact, even if it is imitated now, it is also hard work, not too much, but just a sad face. There are a lot of things like this in this line. Xu Dong said slowly, "Who doesn't have a time to be pitted." ”

"You just excuse yourself~ Hehe, when I have a sister-in-law in the future, I will give her a book called "Xu Er's Pit". The little girl finally interjected, and said that she thought it was funny, and she giggled herself.

Xu Dong still knows this sister very well, and he doesn't dare to talk back, let her be happy, and she will be able to forget about it tomorrow. If you offend her, you will really do this kind of thing, and then you will really be embarrassed!

Wu Chen deeply agrees that now on the market, only three or two out of 10,000 pieces may be true! I really dare to say that I have never hit the eye, but I'm afraid that there is none. Isn't it a bit naïve to think about the idea that you want to get rich by picking up leaks?

……

Early the next morning, the alarm clock woke up Wu Chen, he tried to open his sore eyes, washed them indiscriminately, dressed neatly and went downstairs.

Because the chat was very speculative last night, and Xu Lei, a little girl, kept interrupting, the three of them chatted until the middle of the night, and Wu Chen left a phone call to say goodbye to their brothers and sisters, returned to the hotel, and continued to complete the report materials, so that they could not sleep until late at night.

After eating some breakfast indiscriminately, Wu Chen followed Huang Zhichao into Mr. Hou's car and went to the ministry to report. Because I called in advance, registered the license plate number, and went in after a simple verification at the gate. If you come by yourself, you will need to use your ID card and go to the duty office outside the door to exchange for a temporary pass.

Wu Chen's famous ministry compound is located in a small alley on the side of Liulihe Street, not far from Xidan, a typical Beijing administrative building building, boxy, grand and simple, revealing a kind of solemn majesty.

Wu Chen likes this style of architecture very much, down-to-earth, with a sense of age, this is the image that a real power department should have, those gorgeous and towering Great Xia or the extravagant White House, nondescript, except for scolding themselves, useless.

Because I come several times a year, I am not a stranger, when I enter the office building, there is a rockery in the middle of the entrance lobby, which is said to be based on feng shui, and the Chinese people like it, Wu Chen also heard it, metaphysics is credible or not, and you can only argue about these metaphysical things when you fill your stomach.

Huang Zhichao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, smiled all over his face, and gave way to the side. Wu Chen followed him step by step, and saw a leader with a majestic face, walking briskly, directly ignoring Huang Zhichao's flattering voice, he was actually one of the deputy heads of the ministry, surnamed Liu, who was in charge of their line, this was a deputy ministerial-level official, how could he come downstairs by himself?

Just when he was puzzled, he saw Liu Bu walking in with a young man who was about the same age as Wu Chen and was not tall, and retreated half a step behind the young man with a smile on his face.

The young man was also full of smiles, humbly and resolutely let Liu Bu go forward, consciously or unconsciously half a step behind, and walked in. What kind of person is this, Wu Chen was taken aback, he was born noble?

I don't know Huang Zhichao's appearance. It's better not to inquire about this kind of thing, and everyone tacitly chooses to be silent.

The group first went to the corresponding office and visited the directors before arriving at the conference room. The working conditions in the ministries were even more difficult than in the province, with several chiefs crammed into a modest office and conference rooms shared with other departments.

The director was not free, it was a deputy director surnamed Li and the two directors met with them, except for the project unit Hou Zong, everyone is an acquaintance, Li Si and the two young directors, also went to Nanyue Province several times, Wu Chen They are responsible for the reception, Xu Zhifei once sighed: "The official went out of Beijing, and he went down the mountain more fiercely than the monk!" ”。

Everyone exchanged a few words and began to report the project, because it is a major project, the ministry still knows the basic situation of the project content very well, mainly for the bidding event inquiry.

Mr. Hou also made full preparations, and after a response, he admitted that the comrades in charge of specific work were negligent, and he was not strict in his control, and reviewed it, hoping that the leaders of the ministry would fully understand and continue to support.

Wu Chen didn't participate much in the whole process of asking and reporting, just listened with a smile, and later, he felt a little like he was smirking, and the muscles on his face were sore.

After taking another look at Huang Zhichao, it was not much better, and after careful observation, I could find that the muscles of his cheeks were also trembling slightly, it was not easy!

Wu Chen was a little puzzled in his heart, with Huang Zhichao's usual carefulness and prudence, he would not blindly participate in this kind of thing, why did he seem a little positive this time? But he didn't think much about it, he wasn't in his position, he didn't plan for anything, and he was worried about anything.

I was dizzy until noon, and the debriefing was over. Huang Zhichao asked Li Si with a smile on his face, and he must have a meal together in the evening, and the other party did not refuse.

Everyone agreed on the time, Wu Chen and the others said goodbye, had a meal nearby, and returned to the hotel to rest.
