Chapter 151: Picking Up the Leak
The Jiangxi owner, who sells porcelain, carefully puts the vase into a beautiful box and gives it to me in a sturdy plastic bag. Sveta said on the side: "Not only the vase is beautiful, but even the box is so beautiful, and I have to keep the box well." “
The fat brother asked the boss of Jiangxi: "I see you standing at the counter by yourself, have you got a part-time job card?" The boss of Jiangxi replied: "I also invited a salesman from Russia, she is usually looking at the store, today she just rested, I have a part-time job card, otherwise where dare to stand at the counter?" If you don't have a part-time job card, if you are caught by the immigration police, you will be stamped with a black seal if you don't do it, and you won't be able to enter for five years. I asked curiously, "How much does it cost to get a part-time job card?" The Jiangxi boss replied: "A year's part-time job card costs more than two or three thousand dollars." "Wow! If you want to do business in Moscow, it's not cheap to get an identity. The boss of Jiangxi asked the fat brother: "Big brother, where are you doing business?" Is there a big market for an ant? The fat brother nodded, and the Jiangxi boss gave a thumbs up, "At first glance, you are doing big business, and every ant is containerized, unlike my small retail here." Lao Chen shook his hand, "Brother, we call suffering there, freezing to death in winter, where are you comfortable, you don't go to the volume, but the profit is high, sell one to earn ten." The Jiangxi boss smiled, "Let the two big brothers laugh, how to say, I am also a small business, not as good as the two big brothers." ”
After saying the modest words, the Jiangxi boss hugged the fat brother, "This big brother is a collector, if you have time, go to the flea market in Moscow, maybe you can find good things, there are a lot of porcelain from the Qing Dynasty in China to Russia, I will go shopping when I have time." The fat brother became interested when he heard it, "Brother, have you ever encountered anything good?" The boss of Jiangxi looked around, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide from the big brother, you said, before New Year's Day, I met the blue and white porcelain plate in the Qianlong period, which was sold by an old man, and he said that his grandfather had been to Beijing and brought it back, although it was from the kiln, but it was well preserved, but it was slightly damaged. The fat brother widened his eyes and asked, "Have you taken the things of your ancestors?" The Jiangxi boss smiled slightly, "It's fate to meet, where will you miss it?" Before New Year's Day, my brother returned to China and brought it back, and I found the master to identify it, it was indeed from Jingdezhen during the Qianlong period, and I also found which kiln was burned, and this kiln mouth still has some relationship with our ancestors. The fat brother gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "It's good to take it back to China, you have a relationship with your ancestors, and that's really your fate." "I'm a little strange at this time, the fat brother didn't ask how much this blue and white porcelain plate is? I would love to know how much the Jiangxi boss spent on it? Before I could ask, Lao Chen couldn't help but ask: "It's inconvenient for the brothers to say, how much money did you buy that Qianlong blue and white porcelain?" The Jiangxi boss stretched out three fingers, and Lao Chen gasped and asked, "Three thousand dollars?" The Jiangxi boss shook his head and lowered his voice and said, "I picked up a leak, the old man asked for five hundred dollars, and I paid back three hundred dollars, and he sold it to me without saying a word." The fat brother said: "Brother, you have picked up a big leak, but then again, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have bought it even for five dollars, and a few people who understand, if it's a Russian drunkard, I'm afraid I'll give you a bottle of vodka." The boss of Jiangxi said: "Big brother, what you said is true, so I suggest that you have time to go shopping, just with your eyesight, maybe you can really meet the baby." The fat brother said to Lao Chen: "Brother, in the future, the two of us will also go to the flea market when we have time, with my eyesight, maybe I can pick up the leak, not to make any fortune, I can get the things of my ancestors back and dedicate them to the museum, and we are not in vain in Moscow." "Lao Chen patted the fat brother" Fatty, I really haven't seen that your consciousness is so high after so many years, but with your old man's edification of you, brother, I believe in your eyesight, in the future, our brothers will go to Taobao if they have nothing to do, and they can really pick up the leaks and get back the treasures scattered abroad by the ancestors, and we can also be regarded as contributing to the motherland. The fat brother also patted Lao Chen's shoulder hard, "Okay, that's it, my good brother, as long as he meets a baby, he will take it down." "I understand more or less now, why didn't the fat brother ask the Jiangxi boss how much money he bought the blue and white porcelain just now? What the fat brother is most concerned about is not the price, but whether this thing has been handed over or whether it has returned to China? Perhaps this is because he was influenced by his father since he was a child. However, he could also think that the Jiangxi boss must have picked up the leak. If it weren't for meeting an expert like Fat Brother, the Jiangxi boss would really not tell this secret.
The boss of Jiangxi asked for the box number and home phone number of Fat Brother Lao Chen in an ant market, and gave his contact information to Fat Brother. The fat brother said to the boss of Jiangxi: "Brother, if you really encounter something good in the future, notify you, and ask us to pass the eyes, if our brother encounters something that is not accurate, it will also trouble the brother, after all, you are an ancestor, I am a wild road self-taught." The boss of Jiangxi hugged his fist, "Brother, you are modest, although I burn porcelain at home, I still have less contact with antiques, not as good as you." We learn from each other, and then we encounter good things, I call you, and if you encounter good things, you will also notify me, and I will open my eyes. The fat brother stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously with the boss of Jiangxi, "Okay!" That's it. ”
Vera bought her clothes, walked over with Brother Chao, and when she saw me carrying a bag in her hand, she asked me, "Dapeng, what good things did you buy?" I replied, "Sveta just took a fancy to a blue and white porcelain vase, and the boss gave it a discount and bought it." Brother Chao said with interest: "Take it out and ask me to appreciate it." I opened the box, and Brother Chao immediately praised it as soon as he saw the vase, "Fine boutique, very exquisite blue and white porcelain, Sveta has a good eye, how much did you buy it?" I told Chao, "One hundred and eighty dollars." Brother Chao looked at the bottom of the bottle and said, "Jingdezhen's blue and white porcelain, one hundred and eighty dollars is really not expensive, is there any such one?" If I have one, I'll have one too. Jiangxi boss took out a beautiful packaging box from under the counter, after opening, there was a blue and white porcelain vase of similar size and style as the vase in my hand, Jiangxi boss said to Brother Chao: "There is a similar style, I am friends with these two big brothers, then this vase is also at this price for you." Brother Chao handed over two hundred dollars to the Jiangxi boss, and then asked Vera: "Vera, do you have anything you like?" Vera looked at a porcelain plate with a peony flower pattern on a white background, and the Jiangxi boss said: "This is also hand-painted, I usually sell it for fifty dollars, and I will give it to you for twenty dollars today." Brother Chao made an OK gesture, and the Jiangxi boss smiled and said, "It just so happens that I don't have to ask you for money." After speaking, the Jiangxi boss found the packaging box and carefully put the porcelain plate into it, Vera said happily: "Thank you, Vanya!" I didn't expect to receive so many gifts today, I'm so happy. ”
After thanking the boss of Jiangxi, I asked Brother Chao: "Brother Chao, what are you doing when you buy vases?" Chao Ge replied: "Go back and give it to Varoga, who once said that he likes Chinese porcelain, but there is no good porcelain to buy in Novosibirsk." Today I met such a good vase, and it is not expensive, I bought it and gave it to him, he was happy, and our business was easy to do. "The Varoga speaker is unintentional, but the super brother listener is intentional. Brother Chao's carefulness, I really have to study hard.
