The boss shook his head again and again and said, "Mr. Ma said that this stove is a good thing, and 600,000 is really not much." If you want it, take it, don't, Mr. Ma probably will want it too, right? The next sentence of his question was asked by Mr. Okima.

Mr. Ma smiled and said, "I am really optimistic about this thing, but 600,000 yuan is indeed expensive!" ”

The boss was anxious, and said in his heart, Mr. Ma, where are you standing? Hurriedly picked up the stove and said, "Mr. Ma, look at this shape, this carving, where is 600,000 yuan expensive?" ”

"If this stove hasn't been cleaned, let alone 600,000, it's worth 6 million, but this wash is really worthless." Mr. Ma said in an expert tone.

Li Xiaoning is happy, this Mr. Ma is probably used to being an expert, and he doesn't forget to show his knowledge and professional skills wherever he goes, and he can just take advantage of this. Thinking of this, he immediately took a step forward and pretended to be very humble and asked, "Mr. Ma, why do you say that this stove is worthless after cleaning?" ”

Mr. Ma glanced at Li Xiaoning, then turned around to look at his female apprentice, and then took a class on the spot, "In the circle of Xuande furnace, there is a convention that no one likes to clean Xuanlu. The cleaning here refers to the use of potion to remove the slurry, oxide layer, patina and the like on the surface of the Xuan furnace. However, when our country's copperware goes abroad, foreigners generally have to clean it. In fact, this contains different Chinese and Western cultural relics preservation concepts. Our country's requirements for the protection of cultural relics remain the same and repair the old as the old; In the West, the cultural relics were restored to their original state, and they also cleaned the bronzes of the Greek period with medicinal solutions on a regular basis.

Therefore, many of the Xuande furnaces that used to flow out of foreign countries were cleaned cleanly, golden and bright, like new, which made collectors who could distinguish the real from the old and the new according to the oxide layer and slurry, so the price of this reflux furnace was greatly discounted. ”

Li Xiaoning saw that Mr. Ma had inadvertently acted as a nursery for himself, so he hurriedly climbed down the pole and said, "What Mr. Ma said is very right." I am not very familiar with the stove, but I know that ancient coins do not give face, a little rust, all say broken phase, the kind of rust with the soil of the beautiful name of the pit green rust, the price is high. ”

"Yes, that's what it means." Mr. Ma smiled and nodded.

After such a small episode, it is unlikely that the boss's stove will be sold for a high price. And Li Xiaoning really wants to buy, and the boss really wants to sell, both know each other, plus Mr. Ma is agitated from the middle, and finally the two sides negotiated a deal of 200,000 yuan.

Li Xiaoning is really a little excited, and he can be regarded as picking up a leak today. Although this stove has been washed cleanly, it is clean and has a clean way to play, directly burn it, burn it with agarwood for a period of time, and the old rhyme of the stove will come back. It is estimated that Mr. Guan will like his gift.

After Li Xiaoning came out of the shop, he didn't go far before Mr. Ma followed, stopped him and said, "Little brother, can this stove be resold to me?" I'll give 300,000! ”

Li Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Mr. Ma was helping him negotiate the price just now, and he dared to think that he wanted to buy this stove from his own hands. But he didn't plan to make a move, so he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ma, I don't sell this stove." ”

Mr. Ma frowned and said, "Little brother, you can't be too greedy." The sale of 100,000 yuan can not be available at any time. If you think 300,000 is low, then you can make a price. ”

Li Xiaoning smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, you misunderstood. It's not that I think the price you gave is too low, I bought this stove for the elders, and I really can't sell it. ”

"Oh! I see. It seems that there is really no fate! Mr. Ma's face was suddenly full of disappointment, he was an expert and a moralist, so he naturally wouldn't force Li Xiaoning to buy the gifts that Li Xiaoning gave to his elders.

Li Xiaoning said sorry to Mr. Ma again, and then turned around to leave. But I didn't want to be stopped by Mr. Ma again.

Now Li Xiaoning was a little unhappy, and said in his heart, why are you not finished?

Mr. Ma saw the impatience on Li Xiaoning's face, so he smiled and said, "Little brother, don't get me wrong. I'm not going to buy this stove again, I'm trying to tell you a story. ”

"Storytelling?" Li Xiaoning is really confused, what kind of Shinto is this old man playing?

Mr. Ma then told the story. The story is actually very simple, it is about his experience of picking up a leak and buying the enamel color back with pastel. After speaking, he looked at Li Xiaoning with a smile.

Li Xiaoning didn't understand why Mr. Ma told him this story at first? Is it just to show off his good fortune and knowledge to himself? But suddenly there was a flash of lightning in his mind, he came to his senses, hurriedly looked at the stove in his arms, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Ma, you mean this stove ......?"

"Yes!" Mr. Ma smiled and nodded, "This stove, you have picked up a big leak!" This is a serious Buddhist scripture paper-colored gilt furnace! ”

Li Xiaoning was really overjoyed. Mr. Ma is a real expert, and since he said so, he must not be wrong. It is estimated that the boss has handled too many reflux furnaces, and this furnace has a similar appearance to ordinary reflow ovens, so he didn't look closely, so he sold it as an ordinary cleaning furnace.

I had really good luck today. Good luck always goes to people who are not greedy but have a vision.

Bidding farewell to Mr. Ma and leaving Liulichang, Li Xiaoning hummed a song all the way, drove quickly to that sacred place, and called Guan Jianguo on the way.

When Li Xiaoning and Guan Jianguo's big black Audi car passed through the intersection of Fuyou Street and drove smoothly north along the majestic red wall, which was too old and often needed to be repaired and painted, Li Xiaoning's chest suddenly swelled with an indescribable feeling of exaltation, a solemnity and heaviness that had never been seen before. It wasn't the first time he had come to this place, but he was too young to resonate with this place, but this time it was different, and he already had a sense of responsibility in his chest.

The guards at the southwest gate have been notified by the relevant internal security department to release the Audi. When the car passed in front of the Qinzheng Palace, Li Xiaoning, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw more than a dozen high-end cars parked in front of the Qinzheng Palace, with the license plate numbers of the Central Military Commission, the General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the General Logistics Department, the General Logistics Department, and the General Assembly.

Guan Jianguo's Audi did not stop all the way, until it slowly drove to a row of tall blue brick bungalows in the distance before stopping - this is the residence of Old Man Guan. Mr. Guan is one of the few old people who still live in Haizi, and he is also one of the few founding fathers who still live in the world.

Guan Pengju was not at home, and his secretary told Guan Jianguo and Li Xiaoning, "There was a little bit of an emergency. The leaders of the Central Military Commission are reporting to the No. 1 chief and several members of the Standing Committee in Beijing. I invited the old man over. I guess I'll have to wait a bit. ”

This "wait" is actually five or six hours. It was about half past eleven in the evening, and the old man had not returned. Guan Jianguo couldn't help but worry, "The chiefs are really, the old man is so old, why did he let him attend such a long meeting?" ”

Guan Jianguo's words, Li Xiaoning couldn't pick it up. However, a deep emotion rose in his heart, he didn't expect that it was so late, the No. 1 leader and the leading comrades of the Standing Committee were still working, you must know that in terms of age, these people are all from his grandfather's generation. In comparison, his "diligence" is really nothing.

After waiting for a while, Guan Jianguo finally couldn't stay up anymore and went to lie down next door to rest. Li Xiaoning was young after all, and continued to persevere, but after all, he sat in a precarious position for five or six hours, and his back began to ache, so he leaned on the back of the sofa and collapsed softly, stretched his feet slightly, and read "People's Daily" for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously.

In the fog, a slight "commotion" sound seemed to be heard. Subconsciously told him that someone was coming. He told himself that he should politely get up and answer. But I couldn't open my eyes. His limbs were heavy and he couldn't move at all. Struggling with myself repeatedly, it still doesn't work. Suddenly, someone nudged him and whispered in his ear: "The old man is back......"

Li Xiaoning's head buzzed, and after a little effort, he sat up. When he opened his eyes, he was startled, and Old Man Guan was really standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile, and said, "Xiaoning has been here for a long time, right?" Rested for a while? Rested for a while, okay. ”

In an instant, Li Xiaoning was all awake, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandpa, you have been tired all day, why don't you hurry up and take a rest?" We'll talk again tomorrow morning......"

As he was talking, Guan Pengju's full-time health doctor walked in and said, "Chief, the staff over there in the Qinzheng Hall just now, the chiefs asked you to rest immediately." ”

Guan Pengju's face turned cold and said, "I'm not sleepy, I don't need to rest." You go out, I want to talk to Xiaoning alone. ”

"That's what Chief One meant." The health practitioner continued to persuade.

"Is it a building or an order?" Guan Pengju asked with a calm face.

"This ...... Probably not an order! The health care practitioner said uncertainly.

"Since it's not an order, I can not listen to it." Guan Pengju waved his hand again and said, "Let's go quickly." I have my own body, I have counted. ”

The health care doctor had no choice but to turn around and say to Li Xiaoning: "Pay attention to the time, don't let him get excited, don't give him a cigarette ......"

"Hurry up, hurry up! Where are there so many rules? Guan Pengju once again bombarded the health care doctor to leave.

After the health doctor left, Li Xiaoning hurriedly helped Guan Peng to sit down on the sofa. Although the old man said that he was fine just now, his voice was still very loud. But Li Xiaoning could see that the old man's originally red face was a little dark, and his cheeks were sunken......
