Just when the premiere of the drama "Crazy Boy" was popular, as the producer and actor of the play, Chen Xiaotang rushed to Hollywood Road to buy New Year's gifts, and then went to Shao Tycoon's mansion to pay New Year's greetings. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the entertainment industry, connections are very important. To be a human being, you must know how to eat your brain, especially during the Chinese New Year, which is a time when some people are active. Especially in a culturally diverse and well-connected place like Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong, someone will give you small shoes if you are not careful, so it is important to have a backbone as a person, but it is necessary to shine shoes and shoot Matt.
Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong Hollywood Road, commonly known as antique street, is the gathering place of antique shops in the whole Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong. In the area of Central to Sheung Central, Moro Upper Street, which is connected to Hollywood Road, is also part of Antique Street.
Coming to the door of a shop with a "century-old brand", Chen Xiaotang walked in.
The shop is not too big, but it is full of things like a grocery store, large items such as vases, plaques, and even terracotta figurines, small pots and pans, pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings.
Inside the shop, the guys in the antiques business were bragging to the customers about the authenticity of what they were selling, and the young man and woman were stunned.
Looking at the guy's appearance of foaming stars, Chen Xiaotang suddenly remembered a story, the corners of his mouth moved, and he couldn't help but smile.
It is said that there is an antique shop recruiting salespeople, and the advertisement has been out for more than a month, and there are many applicants, but none of them have applied.
Two young people came on this day, and one of them arrived more than five minutes first, and the owner of the shop picked up a small piece of sawdust from the ground, put it on the red silk mat, and asked the young man, "What is this?" ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and replied, "It's a piece of sawdust."
The boss shook his head, threw the sawdust from the red silk mat back to the ground, and said, "Young man." You were not admitted. ”
The young man was a little puzzled, but someone else was the boss, and he couldn't help it, and when he was about to leave, another applicant walked in outside, and he stopped to see how the person answered.
Sure enough, the boss still made the same move, picked up the sawdust thrown on the ground again, and put it on the red silk mat with great importance. He asked the young man who had just entered the door, "Can you tell what this is?" ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, but then a smile appeared on his face. Said: "This is the toothpick that Cixi Lafayette once used." ”
"Great, you can get to work now." The boss was overjoyed, and immediately decided to hire the young man, and the previous one hid his face and left.
The clerk who was blowing water at the moment. Like the one in the joke, the kung fu is all lip service.
Just when Chen Xiaotang was laughing. Behind him, he was interrupted by a voice, "My guy is a bit of a ghost, but it's not that funny, is it?" ”
Chen Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, but when he turned around, he saw a fat old man wearing a Tang costume with a gold necklace around his neck, a gold pocket watch, and a Tang costume, looking at him curiously.
"You, you, you—" The fat old man said three times in a row. Then he said: "Are you the big star Chen Xiaotang?!" ”
Chen Xiaotang didn't expect that this fat old man had a very vicious eye, and he could be recognized by himself so "without makeup", so he smiled and nodded.
The fat old man was happy, although his antique shop was doing a prosperous business. The people who come and go from the south to the north have also received a lot of high rollers. However, there are not many big stars like Chen Xiaotang; It's not that the fat old man is very hi Chen Xiaotang, and he is not a fan of Chen Xiaotang. It's because of Chen Xiaotang's advertising value. Imagine, if it spreads and the big star Chen Xiaotang also shops here, then the business of his store is not booming?
The fat old man is a full businessman, and when he thought of this, he immediately entertained Chen Xiaotang very warmly and asked him what he wanted to buy? I have everything from small Qing Dynasty snuff bottles to large rosewood screens.
Chen Xiaotang was embarrassed by the fat old man's enthusiasm, and said that he wanted to buy something suitable for the elderly, preferably a real antique.
Why does Chen Xiaotang focus on "real antiques", because he knows that no matter which antique shop it is, some fakes will be placed to slaughter sheep with shoddy quality. Just like this so-called "century-old brand" shop, there are a few pieces of high-imitation porcelain on the counter of the storefront, if you don't think about it carefully, even connoisseurs may look away, although these pieces are high-imitation, but the cost is also worth 10,000 yuan. It was fired by the fat boss at a high price, using ancient techniques and formulas, and its shape and glaze can almost be real.
The reason why these high imitations are made is mainly for those tourists who like to be elegant, or for the bosses with deep pockets, think about placing such a quaint and simple, or delicate and gorgeous, wonderful ceramic in the office. That can also show the identity and taste of the owner to some extent.
But now that Chen Xiaotang has already spoken, don't give him any fakes, the fat boss has a plan in his heart, after all, the other party is a celebrity, not to mention that he has been so popular recently, especially yesterday's "Crazy Boy" I heard that the premiere was very popular... I still want to use his celebrity effect to promote myself, how can I damage my signboard?!
Thinking of this, the fat boss rolled his eyes and said yes, you wait a minute, and then he moved a ladder and touched it towards the top of the store.
Chen Xiaotang was stunned, this store really knows how to use space, and even it is stuffed with things.
Suddenly. The fat boss took down a big red box, opened it and said, how about you look at this blue and white bowl?!
Chen Xiaotang took it and looked at it carefully, but from his point of view, this big bowl is not much different from the sea bowl used to serve soup at home. The one at home is also decorated with blue and white patterns, and it looks more clear and beautiful than this ornament on your hands.
If the fat boss knew what Chen Xiaotang was thinking at the moment, he would definitely vomit blood angrily, this Kangxi blue and white bowl is a real antique, and ordinary people don't take it out lightly. It can be said that although this object looks ordinary, it is also very valuable.
However, it is really difficult for Chen Xiaotang to identify the objects. He's not an expert in this area, you just take a Yuan Qinghua. He also looks at it as an ordinary rice bowl.
Blue and white porcelain, also known as blue and white porcelain on white ground, often referred to as blue and white, is one of the mainstream varieties of Chinese porcelain. The original blue and white porcelain has been seen in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the mature blue and white porcelain appeared in the Hutian kiln in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty. Blue and white porcelain is made of fluorinated diamond-containing lock ore as raw material, and the ornamentation is depicted on the ceramic body. Then cover with a layer of transparent glaze, and fire it once by a high-temperature reducing flame.
This is a large blue and white bowl with the mouth of the bowl turned outward. The bottom is a lap foot, and the tire is fine. The tire wall is thin, and the color glaze of the whole bowl is pulp white, Chen Xiaotang took a closer look, but he couldn't see a reason.
The fat boss seemed to know that he was pretending to be blind, and said in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that you were a star. I want you to help the fat man and me do publicity for free, and don't take a fake out to kill you. I'm so sorry for my ancestors.
So the fat boss enthusiastically pointed to the atlas on the big bowl and said, "See, the picture on the outer wall of this bowl is drawn on the West Garden...... The picture of the Ximu Yaji depicts the gathering scene of Wang Jinqing, the commander of the horses, gathering Su Shiwei's old literati Gaoshi to compose poems, paintings, talk about Zen, and discuss the Tao together at the banquet in the West Garden. Since then, the theme of the 'West Garden Collection' depicted by literati painters has been flourishing for a long time, and has also become a classic subject of fan or porcelain painting. In the painting on the outer wall of this large blue and white bowl. Just excerpts from some of these scenes for you to see. It can definitely be called skillful brushwork, blue and white quiet, and the painting is ancient......"
The fat boss said proudly and foamed, but Chen Xiaotang blocked his earbuds, and finally said: "Ahem, these ...... I don't understand! ”
Okay. directly admitted that he didn't know anything about antique knowledge.
The fat boss couldn't help but secretly admire, I heard that those big stars like to save face, but this one in front of him turned out to be ...... It's shameless, it's rare!!
The fat boss was very happy that Chen Xiaotang was so honest. He ran an antique shop for many years. The customers I have always met do not know how to pretend to understand, or they are pig nostrils with onions ---- pretend to be elephants! A person of Chen Xiaotang's identity. It's rare to be able to say you don't understand.
Seeing that the fat boss was looking at him with a strange gaze, Chen Xiaotang had to cough again and said, "That...... Is there anything else? This bowl is really ...... to look at."
The fat boss is angry, and there are two kinds of people he is most afraid of in the antique business, one is extremely proficient, no matter how you fool him, he will not move. The other is like Chen Xiaotang's tabula rasa, he doesn't know anything, and he doesn't take anything you say seriously.
"Good! I appreciate how straightforward you are! Just give you a good thing to look at! The fat boss said, and began to climb up and down again, and took out a purple sand teapot from above.
"No, this is a good thing, an authentic Qing Dynasty purple sand teapot! Brew tea to make tea, prolong life, absolutely first-class! The fat boss already knew that Chen Xiaotang was a tabula rasa, so he had to talk to him again, and directly told him the function of this teapot.
Sure enough, Chen Xiaotang's eyes lit up, "This seems to be good......
"It's not just good, it's just good!" Suddenly, a heavy male voice came from the door.
Chen Xiaotang looked back, but saw a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and a one-word beard behind his back, looking at the purple sand teapot in his hand with a smile.
The manhood is extraordinary, especially the beard, which has the flavor of a tycoon.
"If my guess is correct, this should be the 'Cloud Dragon Pot' made by Zhu Kexin. Hou Shengzi, let's see if there is any withdrawal from him at the bottom of this pot? ”
Chen Xiaotang turned the teapot over and took a look, and sure enough, there were such words written on the back in seal.
The imposing middle-aged man then smiled: "This Zhu Kexin is a famous artist of Yixing Zisha, a master of flowers, a generation of grandmasters, and his early work "Bamboo Ding" was even collected by Song ~ Meiling. And his work 'Cloud Dragon Pot' is the leader in the purple sand tea set. Look at the body of this 'cloud dragon pot' decorated with summer clouds, the ever-changing charm runs through the image vividly, although it is not an old antique, but it is also a treasure! ”
Regarding the origin of this purple sand teapot, the middle-aged man talked eloquently, which shows that he is knowledgeable and has a deep attainment in this area. Even the fat boss couldn't help but admire, it was not easy to see that this was a treasure, and it was even more remarkable to be able to say its origin and characteristics in such detail.
Chen Xiaotang didn't know why, but he admired this middle-aged man and had a trace of respect. Maybe it's because of this person's non-angry and arrogant demeanor.
"Hehe, I can't imagine that this gentleman can tell the origin of this teapot clearly, in this case, I don't know if Mr. intends to buy it?" When the fat boss saw that he met someone who knew the goods, he couldn't help but peddle.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "A gentleman doesn't win people's love, since this little brother has already taken a fancy to him." I'm just an adult beauty! ”
"This ......" The fat man shut up and looked at Chen Xiaotang.
Chen Xiaotang smiled: "How much is it, I bought it!" ”
The fat boss became happy at this time, "The price is easy to say, as long as you help me do more publicity in the future!" Hehe! ”
In the end, the price was negotiated, and Chen Xiaotang took down the purple sand teapot for 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. Before leaving, Chen Xiaotang did not forget to express his gratitude to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't say anything, just bowed his head slightly.
Shortly after Chen Xiaotang left, the middle-aged man looked at it casually, but there was nothing in his favor. I had to leave the shop.
Not far away, a not-so-eyed Bentley was parked.
I saw a middle-aged man coming. The driver of the Bentley hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car, and said respectfully: "Hello, sir! ”
The middle-aged man went straight to the driveway: "Let's go, go back!" ”
"What, I didn't buy something I liked?" This old driver can also be regarded as this person's confidant. I know that the lord usually likes to buy antiques and these things, and he often comes and goes. In his words, it's called "picking up leaks".
"There was a purple sand teapot in the photo, but unfortunately it was bought first."
The old driver started the car and said with a smile: "According to your financial resources, why don't you buy it again?" ”
"Hehe, I, Qiao Jingyao, have always been principled in my life and work, and I will never oppress people with power." The middle-aged man himself came from a poor family, and when he was young, he was even barefoot in order to start a business. Carrying floor tiles on his back to do door-to-door sales, it can be said that he endured hardships and honed his strong will. It is with this fighting spirit that he was able to start from scratch and create a huge family business. Of course. Some people say that the reason why he Qiao Jingyao can rank among the top ten hidden richest people in Hong Kong is because of his deceased father-in-law. Movie tycoon Lu Yuntao.
But in fact, only Qiao Jingyao himself knows that he relies on strength and a little luck. When I started my own tile floor business, it happened to be the time when Hong Kong's real estate was picking up, and after borrowing, my business became bigger and bigger. Therefore, Qiao Jingyao believes in one sentence, that is: the times create heroes!
Leaning on the car, the tycoon Qiao Jingyao closed his eyes slightly, looking indifferent, but in fact, he still had a headache in his heart, that is, his daughter Qiao Anqi.
Due to the early death of his wife, Qiao Jingyao is very doting on this baby daughter. In addition, he is usually very busy with work and neglects discipline, so that this girl does not have the demeanor of everyone's ladies, but likes to drag race, dance and sing with friends, which makes Qiao Jingyao have a headache.
As the saying goes, three generations produce nobles.
Qiao Jingyao himself was born from the grassroots, although he was very good, but his blood was still the blood of the poor. So he really hopes that his baby daughter can surpass him and become a real human being. It's just a pity that this girl didn't inherit her mother's nobility and elegance, but she was very much like herself.
Shaking his head, Qiao Jingyao took out a cigar and lit it, and took a leisurely puff. Last time, Hong Kong's new Ngee An Xiang brothers wanted to buy the Cathay cinema in their hands, but this cinema was the legacy left to him by his wife's family, which was very commemorative. Qiao Jingyao was not short of money in his hands, so naturally he did not agree to sell. provoked the Xiang brothers to fly to Spain and almost kidnapped their own daughter. Hmph, these damn Taoists, if it weren't for the fact that his baby daughter was safe and sound in the end, Qiao Jingyao would definitely not let go of Xiang Jia easily!
Mixed ~ Is the black one very powerful?
This is Hong Kong, the best money!!
Qiao Jingyao is enough to believe that with his own strength, he is definitely not afraid to turn his face with Xin Yi'an.
In the end, it was Xiang Huaqiang, one of the Xiang brothers, who came to the door to make amends, which made Qiao Jingyao's anger subside. Later, Qiao Jingyao was afraid that his baby daughter would be in danger in Spain alone, so he tricked her back to Hong Kong. originally thought that she would be more honest when she returned to Hong Kong~, but I heard that she was obsessed with a male star and was obsessed all day long, which made Qiao Jingyao very angry. In the end, in a rage, he directly sent someone to study in England.
Girls, it's better to read more books, I used to be so poor that I wanted to go to school but couldn't, that's miserable.
As for those who are stars, what do they like, since ancient times, bitches are ruthless, and dramas are meaningless, and that male star ** also took a fancy to his baby daughter's identity. Just like those female stars hope to marry into wealthy families, don't those male stars also hope that they can marry famous ladies in exchange for long-term meal tickets? !
For such a man, Qiao Jingyao has always despised him.
Men have to rely on their own hands to create everything!
Speaking of those stars, the young man who looked quite good just now seems to be an actor......
Recently, my daughter called back from the UK and said that she would come back to see his father after the Chinese New Year. Qiao Jingyao especially didn't know what the hell she was thinking. But he really misses his daughter a little, banishing Qiao Anqi's girl to the UK alone, Qiao Jingyao is also very worried, it's the New Year, come back if you want to come back, as long as you come back, be honest, don't make trouble everywhere, be a lady, then everything is OK. Of course, the main thing is not to see that star again.
In fact, it's not that Qiao Jingyao has prejudices against stars in the entertainment industry, it's just that he started as an entrepreneur, and he can't look down on those men and women who can make money by twisting their butts and can make millions of dollars when they make a movie.
Qiao Jingyao rubbed his temples, but he didn't think about it anymore, because for him, the men and women in the entertainment industry were too messy, and he didn't bother to take care of them.
Put all your worries aside, after all, my daughter is coming back, and she should be happy, shouldn't she?! (To be continued) RQ
