"Lao Chen, is the boss you said about collecting antiques real? Is it really worth that much money? What if those tomb robbers hadn't moved away if they were so valuable?"

"Old Han, I've told you dozens of times, people are indeed the boss, and they are also collected at that price, otherwise my hard-working pickled vegetables are poured out and thrown away, don't worry, as for the tomb robbers, either they don't know how to see, or it's too late, so we picked the cheap one, don't think about it, if he doesn't buy it or the price is low, you won't sell it to him."

"Lao Chen, I'm really a little worried, don't be surprised, if you really take it away, then I'll invite you to eat wine, even for three days."

"Okay, just wait"

Next to the old Chen in Chengguan Town, there were a few old men who were about the same age as him muttering while basking in the sun, Lao Chen looked at his watch from time to time, although his face was not revealed, but he was indeed a little worried in his heart.

It turned out that since Wang Chao received those "bottles and cans" from his family and instructed him to help him continue to collect these similar jars in the village, the old man really took it to heart, and called the old guys who picked up those bottles and cans with him together, and announced this, people were skeptical, thinking that it was a bit unbelievable to collect so many pickles and watermelon sauce at such a high price, but based on the trust in Lao Chen, everyone was still busy for several days to move the things in the jar to other things. Some even simply bought a new cylinder from outside, and only asked Lao Chen to call when everything was ready.

I said that I would come this morning, but it was more than 8 o'clock in the morning, and I didn't see anyone coming, nor did I see a car coming, so I couldn't help but be a little anxious, and even simply waited at the entrance of the village.

These old men are really anxious, Wang Chao just went out at this point, and asked the second child to help find a big car driver with a book A, Wang Chao didn't drive anymore, but got into the driver Lou Li to talk together.

"Brother Zhao, you can make do with pumping my Hongta Mountain, it's not strong but soft, it's suitable for me who doesn't smoke it often."

"Boss Wang, xiexie" said the 40-year-old axle named Zhao Dahai, who took the cigarette and lit it with a cigarette lighter.

"Brother Zhao, don't see me, what boss is not a boss, just call me Wang Chao...... By the way, Brother Zhao, where do you usually work?"

"I don't have a formal job, I get a car by myself, I work a little every day, and I also take some work as a substitute driver, barely making ends meet."

"It's very free, you don't have to go to work"

"It's just that I don't make much money, and this kind of work is not ready, sometimes I can earn hundreds a day, sometimes I don't have a job, so I also think about finding a regular job to do, I can't always be like this."

"Yes, by the way, Brother Zhao, if you have nothing to do, just come and help me, I am going to make a company by myself, and there is currently a shortage of manpower. Treatment, 5000 a month, five insurances + accidents, if you run long distances, there is another subsidy, what do you think? ”

"Yo, that's really a lot, so where is Wang Chao's office location?"

"I've been looking for a suitable office recently, preferably spacious, with a yard, not necessarily in the city, but also in the suburbs."

"Okay, I'll go back and help you find it, and I'll tell you if there's a suitable one."

"Okay, then let's start today, you are an employee of my company, and you will start working on the first day"

"Good Boss Wang"

Haha, the two of them talked and laughed, more than 1 hour to arrive, just entered the village, I saw a large group of old men basking in the sun at the intersection, Wang Chao saw Lao Chen at a glance, asked Zhao Dahai to pull over, he pulled the car door and jumped down.

"Uncle Chen"

"Yo, Boss Wang, hehe, I was still thinking about it just now, who moved to find such a big car, how many things do you have to pull?"

Wang Chao looked at it, no, there were still words "moving in good faith" written on the body, and he couldn't help but laugh himself.

A large group of old men led Wang Chao respectfully. I went to the old Han's house first. I saw that there were about 10 porcelain bottles and jars in the corner of the yard at home, the scrubbing was very clean, and the oil paint painted outside the bottle was very clear, Wang Chao was not polite, and he didn't have the energy to look at them one by one, holding his breath and concentrating on the past, only to see that these bottles were exuding a bright or dark brilliance, there should be many years, but the two on the side were black, and when I got closer, these two were obviously different from the others, and the colors were more vivid. It's not just Wan'er, it's obviously a modern thing, and it seems that I want to get by.

Wang Chao quietly picked up one of the glowing jars, only to see that this jar is nearly 50 centimeters high, convex belly, narrow neck, flaring, the bottom of the bottle to the belly of the bottle accounts for about half of the length, the bottleneck and the bottle mouth account for half, the appearance of the pavilion, like a long-necked crane standing alone, although the appearance of the color is not very true, but can vaguely distinguish it as blue and white porcelain, the bottle body is painted with two groups of pine crane ornaments, pine branches, cloud patterns, mountain stones, pine cranes, the picture has a strong sense of hierarchy, the shade of blue and white changes make the picture have color changes, After the large rendering of the picture, the pine needles outlined by the fine line are dense, and the crane drawn in white is graceful and elegant, and the shape is accurate, as if it is similar to the blue and white pine pattern phoenix tail that has been seen in the book during the Kangxi period, it is said that in 2003, at an auction in Shanghai, the same one was auctioned at a high price of 7.45 million, if this is true...... Wang Chao didn't continue to think about it, and then picked up another blue and white porcelain vase with a height of about 40 cm, thickness, and a necked neck, which was also painted with cranes, but I felt that the painting method of the crane was more refined than the previous one, and the back feathers were carefully depicted after rendering, and the crane eyes, crane neck, and crane feet were more vivid and the texture was stronger.

Wang Chao didn't continue to look at it, turned to the old Han who followed behind him and said, "Uncle Han, I looked at your bottles, well, except for these two, I want all the other 8, one is 5000, how do you look at it?" ”

"Ah, it's really worth that much money? So these zuihou these two? Oh, this is not what I bought last year and put in the living room as a vase, the owner, you can move it back for me, see if my two bouquets of flowers are wilted."

Wang Chao ignored the old man's "humor", and then asked Zhao Dahai to help move the car, and took out the quilt bought in advance to separate and wrap it, and counted 40,000 yuan from the shoulders he carried with him to Lao Han, and the old man thanked him twice.

Subsequently, Wang Chao, accompanied by Uncle Chen, collected a total of 30 clay pots in other 5 households, all of which were rare kiln boutiques in Shunzhi and Kangxi, but the glaze on the surface fell off a little, but the bottle shape and quality were very good, which can be said to have picked up a big leak.

It took more than 12 o'clock at noon to load all the bottles into the car and wrap them in a quilt, even if the vehicle had a slight collision, it would not cause damage, and then Wang Chao said to Lao Chen, "Uncle Chen, it's noon, let's have a drink."

"No, I'm home, I'll help you inquire when it's empty, and I'll call you if there are similar clay pots."

"Uncle Chen, you've been helping me all morning, and you should be invited to dinner, let's go, you're welcome, by the way, just call the aunt at home and eat together."

After pushing for a long time, seeing that he couldn't excuse himself, Lao Chen went home and said to the old lady, during which Wang Chao asked Zhao Dahai to park the car, lock the car door, and wait for Lao Chen to come out and find a private room in a nearby hotel.

During this period, I drank a few glasses with Lao Chen, and after the wine was drunk, the old man's words gradually increased.

"Wang Chao, are you making money by tinkering with this thing?"

"It's okay Uncle Chen, basically I don't pay, but I also need to have an eye for this business, otherwise I will lose my eyes when I look away"

"Well, I guess it's too, otherwise why haven't anyone come to collect our ceramics here for so many years."

"By the way, Uncle Chen, how is your son now?"

"Hehe, it's coming out soon, just pay the fine and bail, thank you so much, if you don't have your hundreds of thousands, I estimate that I will be sentenced to at least 2 years"

"It's okay, so what is he going to do when he comes out?"

"I want him to find a job to go to work honestly, I can't toss anymore, otherwise it's a pity that his craft, to say that my kid has loved architecture since he was a child, and we have learned from the famous bricklayers and carpenters here, and they all praise him for his talent, so he pulled up a group of people to engage in construction, thinking that he can calculate the cost to win all battles, who knows that in society, these crafts are all in vain, alas"

"Oh, there aren't many people who know this craft now, he should really cherish it"

"Who said no, his two masters told him to pass on the craft"

Wang Chao's heart moved, "Many people in Yanjing like to carve beams and paint buildings when building villas, and even some rescue courtyard houses need craftsmen in this area, the future of this industry should be good, if I have such a group of people in my hands, it should be good."

Thinking of this, he asked tentatively: "Uncle Chen, I have now set up a construction company for the repair of antiquities, and there is a lack of craftsmen in this area, I don't know if your son can come, you can rest assured, the salary will definitely not be low."

"Ah, really, that's so good, I'm ahead of schedule. He will end his labor camp next month, and I will have to escort him to the end of the labor camp next month."

"Okay, Uncle Chen, but I have to ask for his opinion first, if he has no opinion, you can come to me, well, I see that he also has experience in managing and leading people, and I can hand over the company to him at that time."

For a while, Lao Chen was so happy that he didn't know what to say, and he drank several glasses in a row, and Zuihou Wang Chao saw that the time was not early, so he sent him home, and then left Chengguan Town.

When he went home and temporarily unloaded his things into the living room at home, the room was fuller, Wang Chao shook his head, and said in his heart that this room search was really speeding up.

Then Wang Chao asked Zhao Dahai to go home, and told him to help him find out where there is a suitable house and place if he has nothing to do in the past two days, and listen to his phone calls at any time.

In the next few days, Wang Chao mobilized his friends to find an office location, and received a call from Brother Li on this day, which was the one who sold his car and took him to gamble on stones, the big name Li Jinzhong, Wang Chao also told him the news of looking for a house, and he replied to him in less than a day

"Brother, stay at home. Last time you asked me to find a house, I asked my friends around me, do you want a courtyard? It is a little farther, but the scenery is good, next to Heqi Lake, not small, for the courtyard of Sanjin, covering an area of 5 acres of land, it was bought by the owner of a coal mine, recently he raised funds to enter the stock market, I want to sell this, I think of you, so ask. The price is not too high, 15 million, including the handling fee"

Wang Chao thought to himself, "I'm afraid it's not suitable for the office to use the courtyard, but it's still good to use it as a collection and a place to live, and the scenery is good, and the family can live there in the future, and the traffic jam and pollution here in the province are here"

"Okay, I'll give the other party a call, wait a minute" After saying that, he hung up the phone, and called again in less than 10 minutes

"The other party said that you can see the house at any time, depending on your time"

"Brother Luggage, then this afternoon, if you are okay in the afternoon, come with me to have a look."

"Haode, I happen to be okay today, I'll go with you, let's set it at 2 o'clock in the afternoon."

Then the two made an appointment to meet and hung up the phone

"It seems that there are really many friends and many roads, and you have to make friends in the future, otherwise there is really nothing you can do when you encounter this kind of thing."

In the afternoon, Wang Chao drove to the agreed place, and saw that Brother Li was waiting alone, and the one who was entrusted by the boss to help him take care of the house in Yanjing was friends with Brother Li, and handed over the keys and copies of the real estate book to Brother Li and asked him to accompany him, but the other party did not come.

The two drove out of the city one after the other, and went straight to the Heqi Lake Reservoir along the highway.

To say that this Heqi Lake is a very famous scenic spot in the northwest of Yanjing, with an area of about 1.5 square kilometers, the water surface here is wide, the lake water is clear, and there are flocks of white cranes flying to the lake to inhabit in spring and autumn every year, hence the name.

In the nineties, it began to be gradually developed, and so far it has built nearly 50 water and land projects, including water parachutes, water curtain movies, rocket bungee jumping, water rappelling, water skis, rock climbing and other fitness and entertainment projects, and a lot of real estate and villas have been developed around, where many film and television stars and rich people have purchased real estate, and come to vacation in summer, which can be described as complementing each other.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I came to this famous villa area, a big piece, the building is antique, and many villas are single-family with walls, the gate decoration is also different, next to the roadside to go inside the fifth household is the courtyard we want to see, only to see that there are three parking spaces in front of the door, two red painted gates, unusually tall, spacious, two stone lions in front of the door each enough to be more than one person high, angry eyes, parked the car, and then Brother Li took out the key, gently pressed, the two doors opened silently......
