Chapter 4 Jingshi Zhai Treasure (1)

Although it was a verbal answer, the middle-aged man still handed back Yuan Mei's manuscript to Zhou Xuan, and said: "Little brother, you still keep the manuscript yourself, hehe, in this industry, unless it is the kind of trustworthy friend, ordinary people still follow the rules to do things, there are rules, all walks of life are basically according to the principle of paying money with one hand and delivering goods with one hand, and we are no exception!" ”

Zhou Xuan was a little embarrassed, to be honest, he was really a little worried, this is not eighteen yuan, one hundred and eighteen, but the value of eighteen thousand!

The middle-aged man said again: "Hehe, the little brother has been talking for a long time, I don't know your surname, my surname is Chen, my name is Shanyan, and my friends gave me a nickname called Chen Sanyan, hehe, don't enter the stream, don't enter the stream!" ”

"My name is Zhou Xuan, I don't have any nickname, I'm from the countryside!" Zhou Xuan introduced himself straightforwardly, and looked at Chen Shanyan's finger-sized birthmark in the center of his eyebrows, which really looked like an eye, no wonder it was called Chen Sanyan.

In fact, Zhou Xuan didn't know, this Chen Sanyan's nickname is because of his birthmark, and the other more important reason is that he has a bit of a reputation in the antique world.

Chen Sanyan was originally a native of Yangzhou, and he is also a very famous figure in the antique industry in Yangzhou, in recent years, in order to develop, he has opened two branches in the south, one of which is in Chongkou.

The four most famous antique cities in China, Tianjin, Beijing, Yangzhou, Zhengzhou, including Yangzhou.

Chen Sanyan's two antique shops in the south are basically in a state of flat income, but he is also worth tens of millions, and these two stores in the south are seeking development and intending to open the gap in the southern market, even if he loses a little, it doesn't matter, not to mention that it is basically flat.

In the past half a month, I happened to stop at the store in Chongkou, and I came out to visit this pedestrian street every night, not because I wanted to pick up the leaks, but I really ran into it tonight, but it was just for Zhou Xuan to take the lead, but if it wasn't for Zhou Xuan to turn it out in the pile of student workbooks, then he wouldn't have gotten this opportunity either.

It's just that I didn't expect Zhou Xuan to think about selling it to him, and if he calculates it together, he will at least earn more than sixty or seventy thousand, and if he is lucky in the store, he may also earn more, but some guesses can't figure out Zhou Xuan, a young man.

It seems that he is a relatively straightforward young man, looking at his facial expressions and scheming, he should not understand the antique industry, but he turned Yuan Mei's manuscript out from a large number of exercise books, is this luck or eyesight?

Even if it's luck, how could Zhou Xuan think of buying this thing? If it is someone who doesn't know and doesn't understand, it will be given to him and he won't want this broken thing, even if this is luck, but when Zhou Xuan said "Jian Zhai Addendum, Yuan Mei revised the manuscript in 1795" such a precise year and Yuan Mei's name, then this is definitely not luck, this is something that can only be done with a deep immersion in history, so thinking about it, Zhou Xuan got this manuscript of Yuan Mei is by no means a simple matter!

In this world, there are fewer things to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers?

But it is for Zhou Xuan's eyesight, Chen Sanyan really wants to befriend him, in this era, it is even more difficult to find a person who is so young as Zhou Xuan and has this under-eye kung fu, as far as Chen Sanyan himself is concerned, he is in his early forties, and he Chen Sanyan, who can reach his ability in this industry, is also young, but there is no young master in the Tao.

It's not that there are no young people in this line, there are, but most of them are flashy, and people who really have deep skills are hard to find, the south has not been able to open the opening, and it has become Chen Sanyan's heart disease, this Zhou Xuan's eyesight is very good, if the virtue is passable, the cultivation and cultivation is also a good talent, but I don't know where he works, it is estimated which pawn shop, there are not many antique shops here in Chongkou, but there are several pawn shops.

In the south, pawnshops are much more prosperous than antiques, pawnshops are different from antique shops, antique shops purely only deal in calligraphy, paintings, antiques and jade, and pawnshops are different, any item, anyone is willing to be, the pawnshop thinks it can make money, then it will be collected.

You can't transfer money to the bank at night, and 175,000 yuan is not a small amount, but Chen Sanyan's antique shop has so much cash, and at this time, he can only take Zhou Xuan to his store to get money.

Chen Sanyan's shop is not in the most prosperous area of Chongkou, it is located in the second-class market, and the rent price is two-thirds cheaper than that of the first-class area, but the area is only wider.

Chen Sanyan's "Jingshi Zhai" has an area of only about 60 square meters on the street side, but the store extends into it is nearly 300 square meters.

There are a total of five people in Jingshizhai, the manager is called Fang Zhicheng, is Chen Sanyan's brother-in-law, brother-in-law, thirty-three years old, the second person is Uncle Liu in his fifties, Uncle Liu seems to be an inconspicuous old man, but in the early years in Yangzhou antique industry is famous, Uncle Liu's father was also a top expert in antiques before the liberation, and the family is quite rich, but after the liberation, he was criticized, became a cow ghost and snake god, wore a high hat, and the family's antique collection was also copied clean, and since then the family has fallen into the middle of the road, But Uncle Liu learned from his father the eyesight and technique of playing with antiquity since he was a child.

Chen Sanyan still invited Uncle Liu out after three visits to Maolu, and later went to the south to open up, Chen Sanyan had to move Uncle Liu to the town store, so Chongkou and another store in Shenzhen, basically there are major projects that Uncle Liu is responsible for.

Of course, Uncle Liu is doing technical work, and Fang Zhicheng is in charge of people and money, and the store is clearly distinguished, Fang Zhicheng is in charge of finance and personnel, and Uncle Liu is fully responsible for the entry and exit of antiques and jade, Fang Zhicheng wants to take this responsibility, and he doesn't have the ability.

There is also a person in the store who usually sits in the store, named Li Jun, a young man of twenty-six or seven, who is also from Yangzhou, and knows the root of the matter, so rest assured, and there are two apprentices Ah Chang and A Guang who are recruiting in Chongkou, only to work during the day and return to their homes at night.

Southerners are so good at tea that they even call it morning tea, and every household does not leave a pair of tea sets.

Uncle Liu is also a good one, in addition to appraising the goods bought and sold, he can't do without his big cigarette stick and tea set.

Chen Sanyan took Zhou Xuan back to Jingshizhai, Fang Zhicheng and Li Jun both went outside to be chic, and Uncle Liu was the only one left in the store, drinking tea and smoking a big cigarette.

Usually, Fang Zhicheng doesn't like Uncle Liu to smoke this dry tobacco, the taste is really neat, but the store can't live without him, so he can only endure it.

Uncle Liu doesn't smoke cigarettes, he only smokes the kind of dry tobacco grown in the countryside, the smell is strong, and Zhou Xuan smelled a strong smell of dry tobacco as soon as he entered the Jingshi Zhai.

Chen Sanyan beckoned Zhou Xuan to sit down, and then smiled at Uncle Liu: "Uncle Liu, I saw a good thing in the pedestrian street today, take a look!" ”

Chen Sanyan smiled and took the manuscript from Zhou Xuan's hand and handed it to Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu put the cigarette stick aside, then laid the manuscript flat on a mahogany table, took a ruler of straight wood and a soft velvet brush, and gently smoothed the manuscript before turning it over from the back.

Zhou Xuan saw the methods of real professionals, Uncle Liu couldn't help frowning when he saw that the manuscript was dirty and rotten, Zhou Xuan felt that Uncle Liu was not disgusted with the manuscript dirty and rotten, but heartache!

Turn on the headlights in the hall, and the hall will be brightly reflected immediately.

After turning the first page, Uncle Liu took a straight wooden strip and forcefully straightened the corners of the manuscript, then gently swept the dust off with a velvet brush, and then looked at the words on the manuscript.

After just one glance, Uncle Liu's hands trembled, and he quickly opened the glasses box from the table, took the glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose.

Zhou Xuan thought that Uncle Liu was going to take a magnifying glass at first, but he didn't expect to take reading glasses.
