After Mr. Peng confirmed the authenticity of the Yuan Qinghua fragment, I took a can of good tea from my mother's unit from the North House and made him a glass of water, "Uncle Peng, I think so, I am a little tight now, and I don't have the money to repair the porcelain, our Hanhai Auction should have a special restoration expert, can you ask them to glue the Yuan Qinghua completely, and then deduct this part from the auction amount after the auction?" Uh, I don't know if it's in line with the rules? ”

"None of what you're saying is a problem." Mr. Peng took a sip of tea in his cup, frowned and looked at the porcelain piece: "But you don't have the bottom of the piece, without it, even if it is repaired, this Yuan blue and white jar is not worth much." ”

I said, "Don't worry, I will give it to you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

"Two more days? The time is too tight, and we have to think about publicity and restoration, and if you don't have a footing, but we have already advertised, it will hurt the credibility of our company. After a while, seeing that there was still no result, Mr. Peng called back to the company to ask, as if he was communicating with the superior leader, five minutes later, he looked at me with a straight face: "I just asked, the person in charge said that we can help you repair the porcelain first, and the advertising can also be carried out immediately, but for the sake of insurance, we must add an additional amount to the contract, if you can't provide the Yuan Qinghua bottom before the auction and then can't be auctioned, then you have to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages, and take into account the repair fee, to avoid the auction." , The starting price of the Yuan blue and white jar will not be too high, and you had better be mentally prepared for this. ”

After a moment's hesitation, I nodded slowly: "Okay, you can draft the contract." "I'm naturally not worried about the bottom of the matter, take 10,000 steps back, even if I can't earn 60,000 yuan in a short period of time, then can't I borrow it? In addition, a lower starting price does not mean that the hammer price is also low, and there is no inevitable connection between the two.

About three hours later, I picked up the pen and signed the contract that Mr. Peng had brought from headquarters, and he shipped the fragments back for restoration.

The next thing I have to do is raise money.

The next time, I went to Panjiayuan Antique Market, Yanjing Antique City and Chengnan Antique Market, looking for opportunities aimlessly, but without the memory of my past life as a barrier, with my eyesight, it is difficult to pick up the real thing from the vast imitations. When I got home, I smiled helplessly and began to wonder who I was going to borrow money from. Where are Mom and Dad? No, firstly, my father explicitly forbade me to touch antiques, and secondly, 60,000 yuan is not a small amount, and my family's savings may not be that much. Looking for a waist to borrow? No, his parents specified that they would not agree.

In my small circle of friends, it seems that Jiang Yan is the only one left.

Coincidentally, I just took out my mobile phone, but I saw that there were three missed calls on it, all of which were Jiang Yan's. Probably because I was in the chaos around the antique market and didn't hear it, I dialed it back one by one, "Hey, what's wrong with me?" ”

"Oh, mirror, I asked a few guys from the school's antique club to hang out in the glass factory, are you coming?"

I was slightly stunned: "Teacher Xi's hands are ready?" ”

"Holy! How can it be so fast, it was my mother who went to my place today, and she said that she took care of my aunt, so I took the opportunity to come out to breathe. ”

"By the way, did your aunt tell you anything?"

"Say what? No? ”

Whew, it's okay if you don't, I said, "Okay, then you wait for me, I'll go out immediately." ”

Jiang Yan only told me that they were in the East Liuli Factory, and did not say the specific location, but the Liuli Factory was a slender and long east-west street, basically shouting a loud voice, and the top could be heard. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and after looking for a while, I saw the back of Jiang Yan and his party on the chaotic street, Da Jia, Xiao Jia, oranges, cucumbers, and Shen Zi'an were all there, and there was a middle-aged man I hadn't seen before who was not too old to be with them. When I walked over and asked, I found out that the person's surname was Hao, and he was an appraisal expert in Shen Zi'an's father's company, proficient in porcelain and jade.

"Uncle Hao." Jiang Yan smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "Our mirror is also amazing, the last time I went to the antique city, it was called a fierce ah, he knows everything that experts can't understand, right?" ”

Shen Zi'an was stunned and nodded reluctantly.

I hurriedly waved my hand and explained: "There is no such thing, it was just a coincidence last time, and I am actually a layman." ”

Jiang Yan cut off: "What's humble, don't you see that the eyesight of jade wool is also very good?" Yes? By the way, after gambling on the stones, you said you were going to invite us to dinner, right? ”

"Uh, rely on me, rely on me, you didn't mention it, I forgot, please, please eat at night." Although I don't have much money on hand, I have to do what I have said, and I can't lose my integrity.

Jiang Yan touched her stomach embarrassedly: "Hehe, actually, we've been shopping for a long time, and we haven't eaten lunch." ”

The orange and cucumber said in unison, "I'm hungry too." ”

At Jiang Yan's suggestion, we went to the Huguang Hall in Hufang Bridge, which is the original Beijing office, with restaurants outside and theaters inside. I ordered food to eat, and then I saw that everyone was about to finish eating, so I came to the service desk to settle the bill, who would have thought that the waiter actually said that the money had been settled, and secretly pointed to Jiang Yan's side.

I immediately smiled bitterly and went back to ask her, "Okay, I'll invite you, what are you doing here?" ”

Jiang Yan waved her hand with a big grin: "The wool also makes my family make money, who invites it different, come, eat quickly, eat quickly, after eating, let's go to the big red door bird market to go around, hum, I really don't believe in evil, if I don't receive something today, I won't go home." After that, she looked at Uncle Hao with a smile: "You just happen to be in charge, and you will have to help me with the staff later." ”

Uncle Hao shook his head and smiled: "I see, your father's little silver will be ruined by you sooner or later, hehe......"

"Holy! I'm going to make money for him! ”

During the banquet, I wanted to open my mouth several times to mention borrowing money from Jiang Yan, but in the end I couldn't speak.

Alas, in the final analysis, it still can't wipe face.

On the bus heading to Dahongmen, I glanced at Jiang Yan's side face, and I was still hesitant to stretch out that hand to her and ask the woman to borrow money? Isn't that a little out of place? But if I don't borrow it, where can I get 60,000 yuan?

A penny is hard to beat a hero, let alone tens of thousands.

I sighed secretly, it would be nice if I was given another month, and after a few months, the "Cizhou kiln" that appeared in Yanjing Antique City would definitely solve my urgent need.
