It's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful, and in the early 90s, the operating conditions of state-owned companies were in good condition, and even Ma Laocai's company was no exception.

In addition, Ma Laocai always rubbed the company's oil, and for this reason, he also cheated the company a few times, and the company lost a lot of money, just because Ma Laocai did a lot of concealment, plus his image in the company has been good, and no one has found out.

Anyway, although the company's collapse in the end was not all because of Ma Laocai's relationship, Ma Laocai also "contributed" a large part of his strength.

Seeing that the company was ruined by himself, and the company began to prepare for the layoffs of employees, Ma Laocai saw that it was difficult to get the company's oil, so he resigned under the banner of going to the sea. Unexpectedly, he was praised by the company's boss for setting an example, if he knew that the company's situation at that time included Ma Laocai, I don't know how to feel.

resigned, Ma Laocai turned into a professional antique dealer, but what made Ma Laocai miscalculate was that he did make a lot of money because of his financial advantage in the past.

But once he resigned, he lost his previous source of funds, all living expenses had to be deducted from the profits from selling antiques, coupled with rising prices, increased consumption, and he still had a wife and children to support, and the living expenses of the whole family became a burden on him.

There is a saying that the environment changes life, seeing that the daily consumption of the family is increasing, Ma Laocai sees money in his bones, and his mean temperament to people is revealed.

At the beginning, everyone was still doing business with Ma Laocai as before, and after a few times, they found that Ma Laocai had problems with his personality, and he wanted to make cheap money everywhere. Be mean to people, can't bid. Many people have suffered because of this, and they are not willing to deal with him.

For example: The maiden family of the director's wife suffered a loss of Ma Laocai.

It was three months after Ma Laocai went to the sea, once, Mrs. Nian's maiden family tidied up the old house and turned out a blue and white bowl in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and it was also a product of the palace kiln, with the current market value, it should be worth more than 100,000 yuan, of course. At the time, it was certainly not worth that much, but it could be sold for seven or eight thousand, which was a very good thing.

At that time, there happened to be a senior shovel in the village to receive the goods, and when he heard the news, he rushed over, and after seeing the things, he said that he wanted to buy them for two hundred yuan.

At that time, a bowl was sold for 200 yuan, which was also a very exciting thing, and Mrs. Nian's family didn't understand antiques. Therefore, I was also a little excited, but after all, it was something handed down by my ancestors, and I was a little reluctant to sell it for two hundred yuan, so I hesitated.

Such a situation. The senior shovel has seen a lot, and the way to impress the other party is nothing more than to add money, so he adds money on the side. On the other hand, it is hard to grind.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Nian's family is also quite smart. Seeing that the shovel kept adding money, I felt that this thing should be a good object. So he bid 800 yuan, and he didn't sell a penny less.

Eight hundred yuan can be sold for seven or eight thousand yuan with a single hand, of course, ordinary shovels will definitely not sell things at the market price, but even if they are only sold for five thousand yuan, it is a very good deal. How can ordinary people not be tempted by such a business?

However, the businessman wants to pay less, the key is that he doesn't have enough money, so the shovel continued to grind with Mrs. Nian's family, but Mrs. Nian's family was sure that the shovel would definitely be bought, even if the other party bid for six hundred and eight, they didn't agree.

There was no way, so the shovel told Mrs. Nian's family to tell them to wait, and then went to the small shop at the head of the village, ready to call a friend to borrow money.

It's just that this person didn't speak clearly because he was in a hurry, which made Mrs. Nian's family think that he didn't want to buy it, so he gave Ma Laocai, who had been watching for a long time, a chance.

This Ma Laocai went back to his hometown yesterday because of something, but he drank too much at night, and when he woke up, it was very late, and when he heard the news, he hurried to let the shovel take the lead, which made him so angry that he scolded his mother in his heart at that time.

Although Ma Laocai was greedy for money and mean, he still had to abide by some rules of the antique shop, so he could only watch from the side and be in a hurry, and when the shovel went to call and didn't make it clear, he quickly jumped out and said that he wanted to buy it.

They are all from the village, and when they saw that Ma Laocai wanted to buy it, Mrs. Nian's family was also very happy, thinking that since they were from the village, Ma Laocai would definitely not let them suffer.

However, when talking about the price, Ma Laocai's stingy and mean temperament was revealed again, not to mention the price of 700, but also to say that this price was almost the market price, and he bought it to make a hard money.

Originally, Mrs. Nian's family was about to lose patience with the shovel just now, Ma Laocai had twenty yuan more than the one just now, not to mention, and he was a neighbor in the village, so he agreed after thinking about it. In addition, Ma Laocai paid off the money immediately in order to avoid long dreams at night, so he was more satisfied.

After an hour or two, the shovel borrowed the money and turned it back, and when I asked again, Mrs. Nian's family said that it had been sold. Where does the shovel believe? After saying good things for a while, Mrs. Nian's family told the situation one by one.

Ma Laocai is quite famous in the local antique market, so as soon as Mrs. Nian's family told the matter, the dealer could only sigh in his heart, calling him unlucky. He stomped his feet, regretted it, and told the people that he didn't make it clear just now, but he actually borrowed money, not to mention eight hundred, even if he added two hundred, he wanted something.

The shovel regretted it, and Mrs. Nian's family was also very awkward, and they believed the people in the village just now, but the reality slapped them hard.

In fact, less than 100 is less than 100, in the final analysis, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, although Mrs. Niu's family is quite awkward in their hearts, but when the anger in their hearts passes, it is not enough to say that they will not associate with Ma Laocai's family for a hundred yuan.

However, there is an old saying that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and by chance, Mrs. Nian's family knew that his blue and white bowl was actually sold by Ma Laocai for 6,002, which made them really angry.

You said that they are all neighbors of the same village, and it is understandable to make some money, but you can obviously earn thousands of things, but you can only make some hard-earned money if you say that you can only make some hard-earned money for 700, do you want to be shameless?

However, the matter has come to this point, if you go to Ma Laocai's side to make trouble, people will not pay attention to you, and besides, it is a village, Mrs. Nian's family feels that the trouble is too big, and the faces of both parties are not good-looking, but since then, the two families have never interacted with each other.

Ma Laocai was quite calm about this, what should he do, the two families would not communicate if they did not get along, and the position of the director was quite embarrassing at that time, Ma Laocai didn't care, and it wasn't until a few months ago that he really regretted it.

In fact, Ma Laocai is not only mean to sellers, but also to his peers. At that time, there was the owner of an antique shop next to him, named Ren Qiang, who was relatively straightforward, whether it was for friends or business, he was more happy, and many people liked to deal with this boss Ren.

Just like Mrs. Niu's family just thought, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, although there are peers in the antique industry who are enemies, but Ren Qiang is straightforward, plus when Ma Laocai did not go to the sea before, the two sides have dealt with each other a few times, therefore, the two usually get along, and if they are usually fine, Ma Laocai will also go to Ren Qiang's store to drink tea.

In this way, when the time came to the first anniversary of Ma Laocai's opening of the store, at this time, Ma Laocai's eyes were open when he saw money, and his mean temperament to people had been spread, but Ren Qiang had never seen it with his own eyes, and the two got along better, he didn't believe it, thinking that some people were jealous of Ma Laocai's good business and deliberately spread it.

On this day, because of the first anniversary of the opening of his antique shop, Ma Laocai calculated the receipt of a year, and was very happy, so he bought some wine and food, called Ren Qiang over, and drank in his store.

In this way, when the two of them were happy to drink, Ma Laocai wanted to pour wine for Ren Qiang again, but Ren Qiang excused himself and said that an old customer had a piece of Wang Duo's words to be transferred this afternoon, so he couldn't drink more.

This Wang Duo was a minister, calligrapher and painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In the second year of the Apocalypse, he entered the Hanlin Academy, and was promoted to the Ministry of Rites. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Wang Duo was a scholar of Dongge University. In 1644, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he was awarded the bachelor's degree of the Ministry of Rites and the Guanhong Academy, and the crown prince Shaobao, and died of illness in 1652.

Wang Duo's calligraphy is unique, and he is known as "Wang Duo". His calligraphy and Dong Qichang are equally famous, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is "the king of the south and the north", his calligraphy with a pen, out of the rules, relaxed, but full of free flow, the power of a thousand jun. Wang Duo is good at grass, the penmanship is atmospheric, vigorous and free, dripping and happy.

Dai Minggao said in "Wang Duo's cursive poems": "Yuan Zhang (Mi Fu) wild grass especially speaks of the law, Jue Si is full of momentum, Wei and Jin Dynasty wind track sweep the ground, but the wind is a horse, very happy, courageous, not Zhao, Dong generation can also." ”

Although Wang Duo has a high calligraphy attainment, in history, he was included in the "Biography of Erchen" because of the Qing Dynasty, and was stigmatized by later generations. Implicated in this, his calligraphy was also neglected, and he was once unknown to the world. Later, after the study of generations of descendants, Wang Duo's calligraphy came to light and was more and more respected and appreciated by everyone.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Ma Laocai didn't expect that someone would transfer Wang Duo's calligraphy works to Ren Qiang, which suddenly made him envious and jealous.

You know, Wang Duo's calligraphy works are very popular in the market, he remembers, not long ago an auction house in Beijing auctioned a Wang Duo's calligraphy fan for 30,000 yuan, a piece of Wang Duo's calligraphy works, that is not more than 100,000, if the size is larger, it is even more unbelievable.

Moreover, although Ma Laocai didn't know how much money Ren Qiang had, he believed that even 50,000 was enough to choke on 100,000, let alone 100,000. Thinking that Ren Qiang could earn 50,000 or more in a transaction, this immediately made Ma Laocai's pink eye sick. (To be continued......)
