Chapter 47: Deputy Curator
Chapter 47 Deputy Curator (Can students who see pirated copies go to the vertical and horizontal collections?) It is not easy for newcomers to issue books, please support. )
An old figure, supported by a man, pushed away the crowd. He is not particularly old, he looks like he is in his 60s, but his face is pale, he is old, and although his eyes are shrewd, he looks weak.
"This?" Li Yiming shook the jade bracelet in his hand at the other party, vigilant, and held Liu Meng's hand tightly. Liu Meng stepped back half a body and put one hand behind his back.
"No, it's the one you wear." The old man smiled kindly, and walked towards Li Yiming with his support, his eyes resting on Li Yiming's space bracelet.
"Nope." Li Yiming decisively refused, and he was even more vigilant, he wanted to see his space bracelet? Brewing under the calm face, the speed of the third order, he was sure that when the opponent made a move, he would hit the opponent's vital point first.
The old man's kind smile froze, as if he didn't expect someone to refuse him, and the hand that had been stretched out stopped in the air awkwardly, and seemed to be unable to adapt for a while, coughing violently, and the sound made was dull and hollow, like a dilapidated blower.
Touching porcelain? Li Yiming subconsciously took two steps back and tried to stay away, lest the old man couldn't get up in one breath and he would be falsely accused.
The man accompanying the old man quickly patted the old man's back and glared at Li Yiming angrily.
"It's me who is abrupt." The old man finally calmed down, stopped coughing, and smiled apologetically at Li Yiming.
"This is Ye Lao, deputy director of the Shangbei City History Museum and chairman of the National Collectors Association." The man accompanying him spoke behind him to explain.
Deputy Director of the Kamikita City History Museum? President of the National Collectors Association? Just about to disperse and regroup, this old man is big enough? What kind of bracelet is this warm-hearted young man? And some passers-by who have been in the antique street for many years have recognized Ye Lao and have stepped forward to say hello.
Li Yiming's heart shook, and his expression became strange at the same time, he just robbed the museum the night before, and he met the deputy director today? Anyway, this old man's heart is big enough, the museum was stolen, and he is still in the mood to go shopping?
This old man is the deputy director of the Shangbei City History Museum, a nationally renowned collector. However, I stopped working at the museum half a year ago because I was diagnosed with lung cancer half a year ago. I am currently undergoing chemotherapy, and the thinning gray hair on my head is caused by chemotherapy. He received the news early this morning that the museum had been stolen, and he was depressed and knew that he would not be able to help even if he went, so he asked someone to accompany him and walked around the antique street, visiting the places where he had been mixed for half his life to relieve his emotions. He happened to see the scene of Li Yiming buying remnants at a high price just now, and in the spirit of appreciation for young people, he took a few more looks. But when he accidentally saw the bracelet on Li Yiming's hand, he was puzzled. This bracelet is simple in shape, carved and simple, from a distance I can't tell the material, I have done a lifetime of antique identification, and I saw the ring on Liu Meng's hand under my attention, very ordinary silver jewelry, full of modernity, but the carving on it is exquisite, well-made, judging from the silver rust, it looks like an old object, and the carving on it, I seem to have seen it in an ancient book. These two youths are not simple...... The curious nature of the collector is adjusted, and even if he can't receive it, he has to look at it.
"Something to do with me?" Li Yiming refused to be thousands of miles away, he didn't dare to relax before he figured out the other party's intentions, this is a secret realm, not to mention that the other party wants to see the space bracelet, although there is a spiritual brand binding, others can't use it if they take it, but there is no need to take this risk.
The onlookers' eyes lit up, good guy, they knew that this young man was not simple, he looked like a bad guy just now, and now in the face of such a tough boss in the collection industry, everyone speculated about Li Yiming's background.
"Then I can see the ring on this girl's hand?" The old man's expression remained unchanged, and he had resumed the style of the deputy curator, so he retreated and looked at the ring first.
"I'm sorry." Li Yiming refused again, and the result of the two things was the same.
"Young man, I don't have any malice, I just suddenly saw a treasure, I was itchy to hunt for curiosity, I have been doing a lifetime of literary and entertainment appraisal, and I can't help but want to see good things." The old man explained with a smile, blaming himself for being abrupt, if it was really a treasure, how could the other party easily let himself play with it? Compare your heart to your heart, and your good things will not be easy to get your hands on.
"I'm sorry, but we still have something to do." Seeing the other party's low posture, Li Yiming's tone also softened, but he still refused to let go, the space items involved were too big.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, the old man is sincere. You see, this is not the place to talk, let's find a place to sit down first, everyone is familiar with it, it's good to get acquainted, Ye Lao's vision is recognized in the industry, and it is also good for you to talk more. The accompanying man hurriedly stopped Li Yiming, since Ye Lao's lung cancer was diagnosed, he had never seen the old man so enthusiastic about a collection.
"A few people, the store is not big, why don't you sit here? I'll make tea for a few people. The owner of an antique shop on the street greeted him warmly. This is also a clever person, I have been watching it for a long time on the side, as soon as I heard Ye Lao's origin, I immediately moved my mind, antiques are the industry touted by everyone, and my favorite is all kinds of stories and legends, today there is a story about this, if this story spreads in his own store, it will be of great help to his business, not to mention that just selling Ye Lao's favor, this will be a lot of rewards. So he instructed the men to take out the tables and chairs from the house, put them at the door, and beckoned a few people to take their seats.
Put the tables and chairs at the door, one is because the City God Temple is expensive, and the general shop façade is not too big, and it can't squeeze a few people, and if you invite people into the house, who will spread the story? Don't you see that the people around you are already playing more and more? Advertising, which is a means of marketing.
"Young man, sit with the old man, see that you are also a warm-hearted person just now, and you will not delay much time when you sit for a while." When the accompanying man saw the boss's greeting, he was afraid that Li Yiming would turn around and leave, so he immediately whispered to Li Yiming.
"Okay." Seeing the old man's sick face, Li Yiming really couldn't refuse.
A few people sat down, the boss was exquisite, quickly served tea, and did not forget to put down the awning at the door, an open-air teahouse.
The crowd surged around, several security guards of the antique street pushed the crowd and walked in, the already lively market suddenly gathered a wave of people, the security guard couldn't think of it, the man who accompanied Ye Lao quickly caught up, the security guard seemed to recognize him, the two sides talked a few words, the security guard nodded with a smile, and began to persuade pedestrians to leave. In fact, most of the passers-by are watching the excitement, many almost don't know what's going on, just see a lot of people to get up, under the persuasion of the security guards, the onlookers quickly dispersed, leaving only a small part of the collection with a real interest in the collection stayed, wanting to see the treasures in the mouth of the old man. The security guards didn't say anything, leaving two people behind, just in case, and the others continued to patrol.
The boss standing at the door looked at the security guard helplessly, and did not abandon the base, it was enough for a few old players to stay, they were the backbone of the advertisement. I simply crossed my mind, asked the guy to move a few more chairs, beckoned everyone to sit on the side, and the teahouse was opened. He bet that the security guard would sell Ye Lao's face and would not stop it.
"Young man, your surname." Ye Lao was in a good mood, his face was happy, he was not in a hurry, his patience to play antiques was very good, he was just happy to see the hunt just now, and he lost his heart due to the impact of his illness.
"My name is Li Yiming, and this is Liu Meng." In essence, Li Yiming still respects the elderly very much, but the secret realm is special.
"Oh, Yiming, my girlfriend is very beautiful, and you have a good relationship." Ye Lao praised it, and looked ambiguously at the hands of the two that had not let go from beginning to end.
Liu Meng's face was full of red clouds, glared at Li Yiming shyly, and withdrew his hand to roll the corner of his clothes. Li Yiming rubbed the jade bracelet awkwardly.
"Can you show me the jade bracelet you bought at a high price?" Ye Lao's conversation skills are very high, it will be easier to distract his attention first, and then start from the side, and he will become old and fine.
"You're smiling." Li Yiming handed over the jade bracelet, although this bracelet was a protector's equipment, it was of little value, and Li Yiming was not good at continuing to be hypocritical.
Ye Lao didn't reach out to take it, but took a small bag handed by the accompanying man, took out a black flannel cloth from it, spread it flat on the table, took out a pair of deerskin gloves and put them on, and then took the jade bracelet from Li Yiming's hand.
Two words, exquisite.
"The color is good, the light transmittance is high, the roundness is full, there are few impurities, and the continuation technique is very high, it is an old object, worthy of your heart." Ye Lao commented very tactfully, not saying the value, but saying that he was worthy of Li Yiming's good people and good deeds.
"Is it really an antique?" Li Yiming was surprised.
"It cost you thirty-five thousand to treat him as a fake?" Ye Lao laughed, this young man is interesting.
"I think it's pretty good-looking, you can show me, what age?" Li Yiming is also curious, the first time I bought an antique, it has a certain commemorative significance, and it is best to figure out the ins and outs.
"It's hard to say." Ye Lao took off the deerskin gloves and stroked the carved pattern of the bread gold with his fingers, the carved pattern was so worn that it was difficult to make out with his eyes. But when Ye Lao touched the jade bracelet with his hand, he suddenly looked stunned and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Li Yiming was curious, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"This ......" Ye Lao looked puzzled, took two deep breaths, looked up at Li Yiming, and then looked at the man who accompanied him, and looked down at the jade bracelet again. Put the jade bracelet on the flannel, inhale, exhale, and then pick up the jade bracelet, inhale, exhale, repeat several times, and then the expression changes greatly.
Several Tibetan friends who were watching on the sidelines were stunned when they saw this scene, can't this bracelet also be a treasure? Got out of sight?
"Do you sell this bracelet?" Ye Lao suddenly spoke, his expression did not look like a terminal cancer patient at all, but like the groom waiting for the cave room on the wedding night.
"Huh?" Li Yiming's heart suddenly burst out, his brows furrowed, wouldn't he really let himself guess?
"Can you give me this bracelet?" The old man's face turned red, and his eyes shone brightly.
"Are you sick?" Li Yiming said carefully, seeing the old man's expression, Li Yiming thought of the effect of the bracelet: first-order virus purification, this effect is in his own hands, but in the hands of ordinary people......
"How do you speak?" The man who accompanied him was furious, daring to talk to Ye Lao like this, this young man didn't look like he was so uneducated.
The surroundings were also shocked, this young man's temperament changed too quickly, first a mallet, then a bad good person, then a cold person, and now he is exploding foul language at the old man.
Ye Lao raised his hand and pressed it weakly, calmed the angry accompanying man, and looked at Li Yiming with a solemn face.
"You know?" Ye Lao's tone was serious.
Li Yiming nodded cautiously, but his heart was anxious, if the protector equipment was in the hands of ordinary people, would it cause a chain reaction?
"How did you find out?"
Li Yiming shook his head and didn't speak.
"Alas, I have cancer, terminal." Ye Lao's expression was down, and when he saw that Li Yiming didn't explain, he didn't ask, but just looked at Li Yiming's gaze with a hint of begging.
The people around are all weird, what are they talking about? This young man scolded Ye Lao and was not angry? What is the origin of this bracelet? Can the giants of the collecting world be so quiet? Everyone became curious.
