Chapter 308: Treasure Hunt
Gu Shi invited many people to participate in his treasure appreciation party. In Zhongtian, Gu Shi's Stacked Cuixuan is also the number one jade shop in the row, so he naturally knows a lot of friends. Now that he has a treasure of the town store, he will definitely invite everyone to show off.
As soon as everyone entered Diecuixuan today, they saw the object placed on the most conspicuous seat in the middle of the hall. Obviously, this should be the treasure that Gu Shi wants everyone to appreciate, but this treasure is still covered with red silk and has not been revealed.
The two-meter-long figure is quite suspicious, and the red silk covering it also adds a mysterious touch to the object.
"I said Lao Gu, it's not too early, what kind of treasure did you get, it's time for everyone to take a look, right?"
The person who spoke was Wang Lei, who was in the antique business and also engaged in jade. Wang Lei's jade business is not as large as that of Diecuixuan, but he is more inclined to Gao Guyu, and he has a few fine pieces in his hands.
After receiving Gu Shi's invitation, Wang Lei instinctively felt that Gu Shi might have obtained a piece of fine ancient jade, in his opinion, since Gu Shi was so grandly launched, it must not be an ordinary product, he naturally wanted to take a look.
He was joined today by an old friend of his, Jiang Shouzhi, the owner of Jiangcheng Hospital.
Jiang Shouzhi has handed over the hospital to his younger brother Jiang Shouyi in recent years, and he has been living in Australia and rarely comes back to Zhongtian.
Jiang Shouzhi is a native of Zhaozhou, a coastal city that belongs to an economically developed area. The people of Zhaozhou are also known in China for their ability to make money and for their boldness.
Jiang Shouzhi is not a typical Zhaozhou person, at least he feels that he is not as keen on making money as his fellow villagers. Of course, in the early years, Jiang Shouzhi seized the opportunity, and he was one of the first people in China to get rich, and later went to Zhongtian to open this Jiangcheng Hospital, which was relatively successful. However, compared to those rich fellow villagers, Jiang Shouzhi's wealth is nothing.
And Jiang Shouzhi didn't have that strong desire to make more money, anyway, the money he earned over the years was enough for him to retire comfortably, Jiang Shouzhi simply immigrated and left the hospital to his son. Although this hospital can't make his son a huge rich, he can always be considered a rich man.
Jiang Shouzhi is a person who can afford to let go, and the husband and wife live a very leisurely life in Australia, and they are too lazy to return to China. Australia's permanent residency does not allow him to leave Australia for a long time, and Jiang Shouzhisuo's surname doesn't care about the hospital, anyway, with his younger brother here, there will be no big problems in the hospital.
But what Jiang Shouzhi didn't expect was that his younger brother Jiang Shouyi called to say that his son had an accident, and it was quite serious, and he seemed to have lost the ability to pass on the lineage.
Even if Jiang Shouzhi can let it go any longer, he can't be indifferent when he hears the news. The husband and wife rushed back to Zhongtian.
In the past two days, Jiang Shouzhi has learned the general situation, and in general, his son Jiang Zhiyuan had a friction with a student named Xu Tao at school. Because Jiang Zhiyuan was stopped by Xu Tao while driving at school, he was beaten by students.
According to the words of his younger brother Jiang Shouyi, Jiang Zhiyuan's injury was not serious at the time, but this kid didn't study well, he played as a little nurse in the hospital, and he also took drugs. And although Xu Tao is just a worker's child, he seems to have some way, Jiang Zhiyuan has tried to deal with him repeatedly and unsuccessfully.
Jiang Shouyi didn't know that the reason why Jiang Zhiyuan would have such serious consequences when he played with the little nurse was because Xu Tao secretly did something. Therefore, Jiang Shouzhi analyzed the information he got from Jiang Shouyi, and Jiang Zhiyuan basically took the blame for this matter.
Jiang Shouyi also mentioned that the hospital was blackmailed, and a guy named Ma Xiaoliu was knocked out eight times and claimed compensation from the hospital eight times. Although there is no evidence to prove that this incident is related to Xu Tao, Jiang Shouzhi feels that Xu Tao is mostly inseparable.
You must know that this Ma Xiaoliu is the person arranged by Jiang Zhiyuan to deal with Xu Tao, and now it is normal for Xu Tao to be used to deal with Jiang Cheng Hospital.
Although Jiang Zhiyuan did not say that he and Ding Yi planned to form an alliance with Yan Hong to deal with Xu Tao together, as a result, Yan Hong was stoned to death, Ding Yi took the initiative to withdraw, and sent someone to break Song Xuebin's hands and feet to show that he had drawn a clear line. But Jiang Shouzhi felt from experience that his younger brother Jiang Shouyi must have underestimated Xu Tao, and this person was definitely not so easy to deal with.
Fortunately, since Ma Xiaoliu was discharged from the hospital for the eighth time, there is no indication that Xu Tao is still targeting Jiangcheng Hospital. So Jiang Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to deal with Xu Tao at the moment.
In fact, Jiang Shouzhi believes that the focus now is to find a way to cure his son's illness. Fortunately, after the examination of the experts I invited back from Australia, it was confirmed that there was no problem with my son's surname ability. The reason for the weakness is mainly psychological problems.
Therefore, Jiang Shouzhi recently arranged for his son to receive psychological treatment, while secretly investigating Xu Tao's situation. Jiang Zhiyuan knows that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. On the other hand, Jiang Zhiyuan began to contact his former friends in Zhongtian City, and then re-established his network. If he really has to go to war with Xu Tao, connections are the key issue in deciding his surname.
Before Jiang Shouzhi went to Australia, he was keen on collecting for a while. In fact, Jiang Shouzhi is only interested in this collecting circle. Although people who like to collect are not necessarily powerful people, collectors are certainly at the high end of society. Keep in mind that collecting can be an extremely expensive business.
Many people who are new to collecting often want to keep their collections in Tibet, but Jiang Shouzhi knows how difficult it is to keep them in Tibet, and it is almost impossible to complete the work.
Not to mention what kind of vision is needed to keep it in Tibet. The incognito expenses of hobby collections alone are not a small number. The storage and maintenance of antiques often requires considerable expenses, and if it is a high-value antique, you may also want to consider insurance. If you need to auction, there is a commission, there is an appraiser's appraisal fee, and transportation can also be a significant expense.
In all of this, an old bird in the collecting world usually understands that collecting and raising a collection is basically an empty phrase, and for most people, collecting is a hobby that spends a lot of money.
Therefore, the circle of collecting should definitely be dominated by the rich. When you enter this circle, it is easy to find relationships that are useful to you, which is one of Jiang Shouzhi's tricks to build a network. Therefore, when Wang Lei invited him to participate in a treasure appreciation party, Jiang Shouzhi happily went.
Gu Shi heard Wang Lei's words and smiled: "Of course good things can't be easily seen, don't worry, I still have to wait for someone!" ”
"Who else is coming, you take it so seriously?" Wang Lei said and looked around the hall, thought for a while, and said, "Could it be Kong Lao?" Kong Lao is also coming today? ”
Wang Lei said that Kong Lao's name is Kong Shengjie, and he is not a businessman, but he is a well-deserved first person in the Zhongtian collection industry.
Jiang Shouzhi thinks that it is difficult to raise Tibet with Tibet, but this Kong Shengjie is an authentic person who uses Tibet to raise Tibet. Of course, in addition to Kong Shengjie's brilliant vision and ability to pick up leaks, there is also a general reason why Kong Lao played the collection early.
You must know that in the early years, China went through an era of smashing everything, and antiques basically belonged to the category of "four olds", and I don't know how many cultural relics were destroyed for no reason in those years. In those days, owning an antique would not only bring little benefit, but could be a disaster for the owner.
After that kind of baptism, there are very few people who like to collect. Twenty years ago, the antiques market was not as full of fakes as it is now. You must know that counterfeiting also costs money, and if you really can't sell it, who will do it?
In that era, Kong Shengjie insisted on collecting, not only collected a lot of good things, but also cultivated a pair of fiery eyes. In the circle of Zhongtian City's collecting circles, no one is unconvinced. So as soon as Gu Shi said that he had to wait for someone, Wang Lei thought of Kong Shengjie.
Gu Shi smiled silently when he heard this, looking unfathomable.
Wang Lei was about to ask again, when someone suddenly interjected and said, "Old Gu, come, I'll introduce you to someone!" ”
Wang Lei turned his head and saw that the person was named Chen Mu, who was also quite famous in the collection world of Zhongtian City. However, Chen Mu is famous not because of his eyesight, but because this guy is rich and dares to buy anything.
"This is Mr. Sun, the CEO of Weiyuan Group!" Chen Mu was already introducing Gu Shi.
Gu Shi had already recognized Sun Biao behind Chen Mu, Sun Biao had seen him when he lost money in the market, and the last time Gu Shi invited Xu Tao to dinner in Huyuexuan, he once bumped into Sun Biao inviting Qian Wenhai, the director of the Agricultural Vehicle Factory, to dinner. That day, because Xu Tao made a move, Sun Biao's subordinates made a lot of jokes, so Gu Shi was quite impressed.
Gu Shi knew that Xu Tao and Sun Biao seemed to be a little incompatible, so of course he wouldn't say these things, so he immediately politely stretched out his hand and greeted: "Mr. Sun, it's been a long time!" ”
Sun Biao just came over to see the excitement today, in terms of identity, he would not look at a jade shop owner in his eyes, seeing Gu Shi's attitude of not being salty or light, he didn't bother to say anything and reached out to touch Gu Shi lightly, and then took it back.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shouzhi on the side suddenly said: "Mr. Sun, I saw you again, have you always been good?" ”
"Are you ......" Sun Biao glanced at Jiang Shouzhi and said uncertainly: "Lao Jiang? ”
Before Jiang Shouzhi could answer, there was a sudden commotion at the door of Diecuixuan.
"Ah, Kong Lao!"
"Kong Lao, are you here too?"
"Kong Lao is good!"
……
The people standing at the door saw Kong Shengjie come in and greeted one after another.
Gu Shi saw that Kong Shengjie was coming, and he couldn't stand still, so he hurriedly walked to the door and greeted: "Old Kong's arrival in Diecuixuan really makes Gu Moupeng shine, please come inside!" ”
Gu Shi accompanied Kong Shengjie in, and people greeted Kong Lao one after another along the way. Wang Lei also came over to greet Kong Shengjie, and then turned to Gu Shi and said, "Boss Gu, now that Kong Lao is also here, your mystery has been revealed, right?" ”
Gu Shi smiled: "Soon, wait a minute, the person I'm waiting for will be here soon!" ”
