Chapter 17 Treasure Expert
After more than 30 hours of turbulence, he finally returned to the familiar small city of Jiangming, when his girlfriend Gu Lingman greeted Mu Wenhao, he was surprised to find that there was an uninvited guest, and he was also polite to his brother under Mu Wenhao's white lies.
In this small city, it is not very easy to find a job, and it may be a luxury to find a suitable job for Lei Cheng in a short time, so the day after Mu Wenhao went to work, he simply recruited Lei Cheng to his computer store department. Of course, he had neither education nor skills, and could not be a technician or a salesman, so he could only be given an apprenticeship position and receive half of the technician's salary.
Arrange him to be an apprentice is not a fake public and private, on the contrary, it is equivalent to hiring a cheap worker, with the recent business volume continues to go up, the chores are also very numerous, technicians often have to do the packing, moving, delivery and other work, with Lei Cheng joined, strong, the man with quick hands and feet greatly reduced the burden of the technician, which is equivalent to the release of a technician, and the effect of adding a technician is almost the same.
As for Lei Cheng, he doesn't think the salary is too low, he has felt a great honor to be a member of the IT industry, in his words, "just eat and live, you can do anything else", and when you have time, you can also learn from the technician to install a machine, ask for advice, and be happy.
After arranging Lei Cheng, Mu Wenhao had to start looking for another material that Yue Lao needed - meteorite. This kind of stone fell purely from the sky, but there is no place of origin, he remembered that when he was a child in the countryside, he often picked it up, and often played the game of "Lei Gong laid eggs" with his friends, he really regretted not leaving two pieces at the beginning, otherwise he would not have to look for it everywhere.
It's a pity that in recent years, not only has he not been able to find this thing from the countryside, but he has also not heard of anyone picking up this thing, even if someone picks it up, he secretly hides it, because people's sense of collection has become stronger over the years, and meteorites have become antique products, and they can be exchanged for red bills at any antique store.
Since the antique dealer bought this thing, it was natural that this thing was sold, but I heard that the meteorite belonged to the state, and even if the antique dealer had it, he only dared to trade it secretly in private.
Just do it, act immediately, Mu Wenhao took a lunch break, started the loud motorcycle and drove towards the major antiques in the city, but to his disappointment, the answers to him were all two words: no!
I patted my head in distress and thought about it, there are twelve antique shops in this city, and I have already visited eleven of them, and it seems that there is only the last one left, please, don't play with me!
When he came to the "Feifan Treasure Pavilion", a middle-aged shopkeeper with a round look greeted him, looked at Mu Wenhao with a smile, and squinted his eyes secretly looked down from top to bottom.
"Boss, are there any meteorites for sale?"
"Little brother, do you want to buy a meteorite? Oh, this thing is owned by the state, how can we have this kind of treasure sold in a small store like ours! The fat shopkeeper looked at the Lifan motorcycle parked at the door, and waved his big chubby hands, and said lukewarmly.
"Again, don't?"
Mu Wenhao suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, but after thinking about it, he still asked more with the last hope: "Boss, can you help me think of a way?" ”
The fat shopkeeper's eyes flickered, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, when a special guest suddenly came to the store, which immediately attracted the attention of the fat shopkeeper.
To say that he is special is that he is special in the city, but if he is in the country, he can only be regarded as the most ordinary one, because the visitor is a peasant with a straw hat on his head, his clothes in tatters, and a little dirt on his feet and face.
"Boss, I dug something in the farmland, I don't know if you can buy it here?"
The farmer carried a bag of hemp, walked up to the fat shopkeeper, and said in a hoarse voice.
There was a burst of excitement on the fat shopkeeper's face, and he hurriedly waved his hand to signal the farmer to take it out: "Collect, collect!" Something, take a look! ”
The peasant carefully opened the sack and took out a porcelain still stained with a lot of earth, which looked like a vase, and the blue and white loomed under the soil, taller than an ordinary stele wine bottle, and a long round belly.
"Blue and white porcelain!"
The fat shopkeeper couldn't help but snort in surprise, and hurriedly took out a tissue to gently wipe off the soil on the surface of the porcelain, Mu Wenhao heard the words "blue and white porcelain", although he was not very familiar with antiques, but he also knew that blue and white porcelain was a particularly precious treasure, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
"Hey, why is there a small gap in the mouth of this bottle?"
The fat shopkeeper wiped and rubbed, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh, it's a little bit, I didn't know there was anything in the field at the time, and when I went down with a hoe, I hit a small gap." The farmer explained simply.
"It's a pity, it's a pity!" The fat shopkeeper showed a regretful expression on his face, and kept holding up the porcelain to identify it carefully, although he saw that the peasant was honest, but his professional habits were still afraid of buying fakes, until he determined that this was a treasure of the Ming Dynasty from the old color, the painting on the glaze and the inscription on the wall, he suppressed the joy in his heart and asked softly: "This uncle, how much do you want to sell me this thing?" ”
"This? I don't know how much it's worth, I just know that it's an antique, so let's dig it up anyway, you can give me 100,000 yuan, I don't know if it's a loss or a profit! ”
The farmer thought about it for a while and quoted the price of 100,000 yuan to the fat shopkeeper.
"One hundred thousand? Now I'm going to make a fortune, and this thing is worth at least more than 500,000 yuan. ”
The fat shopkeeper felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but he pretended to show a look of surprise and said, "What? This thing still costs 100,000 yuan, and the bottle mouth is still a little broken, so let's give you 50,000 yuan, and don't sell it. ”
"50,000 is so little, if you don't sell it, you can't sell it, at least 80,000 yuan will be sold." The peasant shook his head, picked up the sack, and was about to fill the porcelain.
"Don't take it, don't take it, 80,000 is 80,000, I bought it!"
When the fat shopkeeper saw that he was going to take it, his forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly took his hand, stopped his movements, and then hurriedly walked into the inner room, opened the safe, and took out eight bundles of large bills from it.
"Boss, don't fall for him, this blue and white porcelain is fake!"
When the fat shopkeeper was about to hand over the money to the farmers, Mu Wenhao suddenly said loudly, the fat shopkeeper suddenly retracted his hands when he heard this, and looked at Mu Wenhao suspiciously, after all, 80,000 yuan is not a small amount, and now some people say that the blue and white porcelain is fake, and he has to be cautious.
The farmer was about to reach out to get the money, but he didn't expect to bite the gold halfway, saying that his was a fake, and immediately looked at Mu Wenhao angrily and said: "Why do you say that this blue and white porcelain is fake, don't think that we farmers are easy to bully!"
"Why? Just because your porcelain fetal bone is not a mixture of hemp cang soil and porcelain stone, your mud and stone powder mixed looks like the fetal soil is relatively close to the old vessel, although the fetal quality has a loose and rough feeling, but the glaze is dull, there are a lot of dead bubbles, and it looks like there are traces and white spots that have been burned by sulfuric acid. In addition, through aging and fission, although your porcelain is at a very high level in antique treatment, you must know that hundreds of years of natural aging and traces plus the exhausted soil and green materials, now can not be imitated, your blue and white is dull, the shrinkage phenomenon is more obvious, and the glaze is too thick, how to deceive experts like me! ”
Mu Wenhao's words made the tips of the noses of the fat shopkeeper and the farmer ooze beads of sweat at the same time, and they looked at this real person and faceless expert in surprise.
Mu Wenhao snickered in his heart, of course he didn't have such a high level of appreciation, but referred to Yue Lao's instructions, and then retouched it with vinegar, but he didn't expect it to be really amazing and shocked them.
For these antiques, the experienced Yue Lao is undoubtedly the best expert in appraisal, he can tell at a glance what material and year, and even know where it was made.
"You...... Don't listen to his nonsense, if you don't buy it, if you don't buy it, I'll take it. ”
The peasant was a little weak-hearted, but he still did not give up, and made a gesture to take it away, intimidating the fat shopkeeper.
"Look at his hands, his skin is smooth and smooth, what kind of peasant he looks like, he is clearly pretending to be a peasant to deceive." Mu Wenhao stared at the farmer's hands and added.
When the fat shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly looked at the farmer's hands, but the farmer hurriedly pinned his hands to his back, but the fat shopkeeper's eyesight was so sharp, and he saw the big hand without half a callus at a glance.
"Forget it, 50,000 for you, do you want it?"
After the farmer wrapped it, he suddenly said to the fat shopkeeper again.
"Get out! Don't roll the alarm! ”
The fat shopkeeper was embarrassed and angry, and roared, so frightened that the peasant ran out of the smoke, and glared at Mu Wenhao fiercely before leaving.
