Chapter 10: The Heroes
The small conference room on the second floor of Huaxia Bank, the site of the appraisal and evaluation meeting of Yuan blue and white large tanks
"Oh, old Geng, why are you even alarmed this time? It's just a celadon jar picked up by Pan Jiayuan, why do you need Brother Geng to go out in person? ”
The old man who spoke was of medium stature, with a red face, in fact, this old urchin will be 70 years old next month, and the old Geng in his mouth has just passed his 70th birthday this month.
After meeting in this small conference room, two 70-year-old masters of antique cultural relics from the Palace Museum met to learn that the other party was also invited to do an appraisal for a large tank of a certain company today.
"Hey, old history, this Huaxia Bank is really, if I knew that you were out of the horse, I would indeed not be able to come, but my two disciples have to come to have a long look.
This is the first time that the bank can come forward solemnly and ask someone to help identify and evaluate the Yuan blue and white jar, right? ”
Geng Lao strode forward, stretched out his hand and shook hands with his old partner cordially.
"Hey, if you want me to say that Huaxia Bank doesn't know which company's boss has poured the soup, Yuan Qinghua can have it, Yuan Qinghua character story big pot, how many are there in the world?
I can't believe it, but it's just a favor......" Shi Lao patted the back of his big brother's hand, and didn't save face for the bank at all when he spoke.
"Hello Shi Lao! I thought it would be too late to follow the master to pay your birthday before going abroad, but I didn't expect to meet it at Huaxia Bank today. ”
Speaking yes, Qiu Xiaojun, the disciple next to Geng Lao, in 3 months will be the 47th birthday of this male disciple of Geng Lao, but at the end of this month, he will immigrate to Hong Kong with his wife, so there is what I said just now.
Shi Lao tilted his head and looked Qiu Xiaojun up and down, stretched out his finger and pointed at his head.
"I said Xiaojun, you, you, what kind of Hong Kong are you going, and which people are you moving to? Hong Kong will return in another 5 years, what do you want me to say about you, is it easy for Geng Lao to bring out a disciple like you?
There are thousands of antique shops in Hong Kong, but can you add up to 1% of the real things in the Palace Museum? You're sacrificing your roots! ”
As soon as Old Man Shi said this, Qiu Xiaojun lowered his head and looked gloomy.
As the mainstay of the Palace Museum, the eldest of Geng Lao's two closed disciples, at the age of 47, he is actually the most mature and peak moment of experience and vision.
At this time, he was forced by his daughter-in-law to immigrate to Hong Kong, in fact, he was a hundred reluctant in his heart, but his wife was in charge of the family.
Mrs. Qiu, who is engaged in a clothing business in Hong Kong, did not take seriously such a well-known and low-income cultural and museum profession as a researcher at the Palace Museum on the mainland.
Besides, it is not a way for husband and wife to live separately for a long time, Mrs. Qiu knows that her husband was elegant and extraordinary when he was young, and he was liked!
"Okay, old history, Xiaoqiu and his daughter-in-law are so separated from the mainland of Hong Kong is not a long-term solution, although it is a pity, but you also said that Hong Kong will return soon, and if it is not a family at that time, you will not bury the children anymore!"
The silver-haired and energetic Geng Lao smiled and relieved his disciple, but he was actually embarrassed in his heart, Qiu Xiaojun was Geng Lao's most proud disciple, this time, it was a pity! "Shi Lao, my senior brother immigrated to Hong Kong, wouldn't it be more convenient to go abroad to observe and appreciate cultural relics in the future?
There are so many restrictions like when we go abroad, you have to review a report and open a letter of introduction, and even your passport is not private, and you are discriminated against by foreign parties.
This trip back is restricted, and if you want me to say, my brother can show his skills even more when he goes to Hong Kong! “
It was another woman in her 40s next to Geng Lao who spoke, her short black hair was very energetic, and her black-framed glasses were more rational and restrained intellectuals.
It's just that the words are like machine guns, and it is Cheng Huasha, another female disciple of Geng Lao.
As a peer of the Republic, her senior brother Qiu Xiaojun was called Xiao Jun in the Palace Museum, and her younger sister was called Xiao Cheng. "Okay, I won't say it, Xiao Cheng, I said you have to refuel, your senior brother is gone, our ancient ceramics Mesozoic talents are missing half of the sky.
Your little sister is also in her 40s, your master and I are both 70 years old, and our energy and eyesight are not good sooner or later, this is the law of nature, and the future of cultural relics identification is the main beam, and you have to choose! “
Shi Lao obviously likes Cheng Xiaomei, who has a straightforward personality, and he laughs before he reveals it.
After the greetings were over, they each took their seats, and the young waitress of Huaxia Bank quickly shuttled in to serve tea, and after a while, a tall and handsome old man hurriedly pushed the door in.
The manager of the financial department of Huaxia Bank, who followed him, didn't even have time to open the way for him, and as soon as the master came, the entire small conference room suddenly stood up in a room.
Geng Lao greeted him with both hands happily, and Shi Lao also grinned and laughed, "Oh, there is a magpie branch making trouble today, I said, I and Lao Shi were invited, how can Brother Feng be absent......"
Geng Lao held Old Man Gao's hand tightly and shook it vigorously, it was Feng Lao, who was one year older than Geng and Shi!
There are only three musketeers left in the ancient Chinese ceramics appraisal masters, and it is rare to gather them together after retirement. "Lao Geng, Lao Shi, sure enough, you are also here for the big pot of Yuan Qinghua's character stories, if it weren't for Manager Jin saying that you both came, I really wouldn't have time to come here!
Pan Jiayuan can produce a large pot of blue and white flowers, how rare is this? I can't believe it, but I really hope it's true! ”
The three old men shook hands tightly, and Shi Lao, who was fat and round, the little brother of the three, also gave Feng Lao, the tallest and the youngest, a bear hug, of course he didn't dare to make a move.
But even so, Feng Lao still frowned, and everyone in the room asked with concern, but fortunately, the discomfort in Feng Lao's heart was only for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal.
Geng Lao complained that Shi Lao was not serious, I don't know if Lao Feng's heart is frightened?
Although the conference room arranged by the Beijing branch of Huaxia Bank as a place for appraisal and evaluation, although it is called a small conference room, the space is actually not small, enough for 30 or 40 people to hold a meeting.
The conference table, which had been oval in the middle, was now removed, with a specially furnished leather sofa against the wall, and a newly arranged booth with thick black felt cushions in the middle, only at this time the booth was empty.
Ji Mingbu, general manager of the financial department of Huaxia Bank, who accompanied Feng Lao in, smiled and greeted the ancient ceramic appraisal masters.
As a 36-year-old strong woman of Huaxia Bank, after getting a double doctorate from the Department of Finance of Columbia University, this former genius girl in China gave up the invitation of major investment banks in the United States with high salaries 4 years ago and returned to China to work in Huaxia Bank.
Starting from the internship at the front desk, step by step, I became the vice president and general manager of the financial department of Huaxia Bank Beijing Branch at the beginning of this year, which is a truly dazzling pearl!
"Seniors, thank you for accepting the invitation and commission of our bank, to be honest, I am also a fan and lover of ancient ceramic art in my girlhood, this time I have alarmed you seniors in my busy schedule, I really can't go.
Because one of our customers took a large pot of Yuan Qinghua character stories to make a mortgage, and the condition was perfect, if the door was opened, it was not a question of how much it was worth, it was the first time that a national treasure-level Yuan Qinghua heavy weapon appeared in our country......
…… So, anyway, please! ”
Ji Mingbu's family history, as a genius girl in her student days, her EQ is higher than her IQ, and she is beautiful and lovely.
A pair of bright eyes seemed to be able to speak, but with a slight sweep, every guest in the entire conference room formed a gaze with her......
The style of that glimpse dwarfed the other beautiful waitresses of the bank behind Yingying Yanyan......
