Chapter 559: Lobbyist
Su Zhe and Gao Gang don't have a deep friendship, because they are both in the same circle, some exchanges will occasionally meet.
The previous relationship with Gao Gang maintained a tepid level, because of the Zhou family's affairs, meeting again may not be as friendly as before. Therefore, Su Zhe did not have much hope that his son Gao Bofei's eyes were full of anger, and he could get a satisfactory answer to this coming.
After Zhou Zhihui was arrested, Gao Bofei didn't mess with the two brothers, and asked Gao Gang to order him to go back to Mozizhai to help.
Among the five categories of woodware, calligraphy and painting, bronze ware, porcelain, and gold, stone and jade, although Mozizhai is a store that collects antiques, with the efforts of several generations of the Gao family, their family is a representative of porcelain.
Gao Gang is not only a member of the Antiques Association, but also one of the important figures of the Chinese Porcelain Antiquities Association. Originally, the Porcelain Association wanted to recommend him as the president, but because Gao Gang had Mozizhai, he usually had to run around, and the time could not be shared, so he finally gave up.
Gao Bofei grew up sleeping with antiques since he was a child, even if he doesn't have Gao Gang's eyesight in this regard, compared with ordinary people, he still has some ability in identifying porcelain.
In the whole antique world, among the representative families of the five major classifications, Mozizhai is the representative of porcelain, the Chen family in the north is the main woodware, and the southern Yuxuan is the representative of gold, stone and jade. Then there is the red letter door that few people have heard of, which is the representative of calligraphy and painting, and the bronze Ming ware is a school of ancient heroes.
The so-called ancient heroes are actually the former tomb robbers. It's just that the ancient tomb was not stolen later, so after the State Administration of Cultural Heritage appeared, they appeared in front of the world as antique appraisers.
However, this ancient chivalrous faction is different from the others, after all, they are tomb robbers, and no one in their descendants has done this anymore, so their influence has gradually decreased over the years. Not to mention that the civilian Baili has never heard of it, even in the antique circle, it is very rare to hear of the Guxia faction.
The last thing left is the wooden ware represented by the legend of the land of Donglu and the descendants of Luban.
Su Zhe, a member of the ancient Xia faction, had seen a stubborn old man at an exchange meeting, but Su Zhe, the representative of woodware, had really never seen it. In fact, with the establishment of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the Antique Association and the antique associations in various places, there is little distinction between the five major categories of wood, calligraphy and painting, bronze and Ming ware, porcelain, and gold, stone and jade.
Whether it is wood, calligraphy and painting, bronze ware, porcelain, gold, stone and jade, they are actually classified as antique cultural relics. Besides, an outstanding antique connoisseur should not be ignorant of anything other than one he is good at.
Just like Gao Gang, no one doubts his attainments in porcelain, but among the four categories of wood, calligraphy and painting, bronze and Ming ware, and gold, stone and jade, no one dares to deny his identification ability.
After the accident of the two brands of antique shops run by the Zhou family, Mozizhai once asked the police to investigate. The Zhou family and the Gao family are sons-in-law, so naturally they cannot be excluded.
Affected by that incident, Mozizhai's influence has fallen to a historical low in the past six months.
If this happens, Gao Gang will inevitably blame Su Zhe, so he didn't feel much good when he learned that he came to visit today.
"Director Su, if you came here today to be a lobbyist, I don't think there is anything to say between us. Gao Gang didn't give Su Zhe any good looks, and if he didn't just blast him out, it was very face-saving.
Su Zhe had expected Gao Gang to behave like this before he came, and he didn't care.
"Store Manager Gao, I haven't said it yet, how do you know that there is nothing to say between us. ”
Gao Gang snorted lightly: "My two nephews, one is in prison, and the other is missing, do you think we can still sit down and talk?"
"Store Manager Gao, the matter about the two brothers shouldn't have much to do with me. Speaking of that, I was a participant who was forcibly pulled in from the beginning to the end. This matter has always been known to your son. ”
Compared with his father's face, Gao Bofei's eyes were even more unkind.
Su Zhequan didn't see it, and then said: "Store Manager Gao, in fact, you should be glad that you are only in prison, and there is still a chance to come out; ”
Gao Bofei couldn't help but interject angrily: "What are we glad about, big brother is in prison, this is still called rejoicing? If that's the case, why didn't you go in!"
Su Zhe spread his hands: "I am a legitimate businessman and do not do illegal things." So I'm sitting here now and it's a matter of course, not a blessing. ”
"You-"
"Bo Fei, shut up!" Gao Gang said softly.
Fighting with Su Zhe will only bring humiliation on himself.
Gao Bofei glared at Su Zhe unwillingly, if it wasn't for his father's presence, maybe he would have made a move, although he knew that he was not his opponent, but it would not make him feel better.
Staying here can neither fight nor scold, Gao Bofei saw that Su Zhe was also upset, and snorted and went outside.
Gao Bofei is not there, only Su Zhe and Gao Gang are left, and there is no one around, so they can talk about more aspects.
"Store Manager Gao, in fact, you know the purpose of coming here today. But don't worry, I'm not here to be a lobbyist, Guo Shiguan has a general relationship with me, he doesn't cheat, and he doesn't have any conflict of interest with me. After a pause, Su Zhe's eyes narrowed slightly and continued, "But I know that he has a good relationship with your eldest nephew, and if you put him like this, wouldn't it be against your original intention." ”
Gao Gang said lightly: "The fraud should be exposed, otherwise I will be fooled today, and I am afraid that more people will be fooled tomorrow and the day after tomorrow or even in the future." ”
After a pause, Gao Gang looked at Su Zhe, "Let's just say it, do you mean that you want Guo Shiguan to fake or not?"
The corners of Su Zhe's mouth chuckled slightly: "Store Manager Gao, in fact, this answer is in your mind." I didn't come here today for much purpose, so I just came to have a look. After all, we have known each other for many years, and we have never visited our homes, so we don't want to go. ”
Gao Gang naturally didn't believe what Su Zhe said, but in the following conversation, Su Zhe didn't mention business, but chatted casually.
About an hour later, Su Zhe left without mentioning a word about Guo Shitong from beginning to end.
Before leaving, Su Zhe thought that there was something that had not been handed over to Gao Gang, and took out a small rectangular box from the car.
"This thing needs to be troubled Store Manager Gao, you can help me identify it, I don't know much about porcelain. ”
Gao Gang opened the box, and inside was a white wooden box containing a vase, which was decorated with a color glaze, and with his years of experience, it was obvious at a glance that it was only in the Song Dynasty. But it's not really the cultural relics of the Song Dynasty, and Gao Gang is not sure about it all of a sudden.
Touching the bottom is indeed a bit similar, but the reality is yet to be further identified. However, this was brought by Su Zhe, and Gao Gang didn't want to identify this for him. It's just that the shape of this vase and the colored glaze make it impossible for him to make that choice.
Because he recognized that this vase was a very famous kit of the Song Dynasty. He had seen from some materials that there were three of them, white, red, and blue, and the one in front of him was white.
In fact, this color is just named after the ornamentation on the colored glaze, and it is not like the current handicrafts, which is really a difference between white and red.
This three-piece set Gao Gang has only seen the information, and he has not seen his real name at all. Many antique collectors are looking for these three-piece sets, which almost represent the highest level of porcelain firing during the Song Dynasty.
However, for hundreds of years, only the materials have been handed down, and no one has seen the real thing, and no one has much hope.
Gao Gang had only seen the photos restored with modern technology, and he didn't dare to really confirm that the vase in front of him was one of the white, red and blue three-piece set. But I couldn't help but ask, "How did you get this?"
"A year ago, a middle-aged man got the pawn for Tingyuzhai. At that time, he just pawned and did not sell. It's just that a year has passed, and no one has come back to redeem it, and you know the rules of this industry. If it expires, it will not be redeemed, and the things will be returned to the store. I've seen the three-piece set of information, but I'm not sure if it's true, so I'm here today to ask you to verify the authenticity. When it comes to porcelain, store manager Gao, you are an authority person, and I only believe your words. ”
Su Zhe sat in the car, fastened his seat belt and opened the window, adding, "If the result you identify is fake, then you will fall directly." Fakes shouldn't be left behind. ”
Gao Gang watched Su Zhe's car leave, holding the box and chewing on his last words. Gao Bofei came back from going out for a walk, saw the things in his father's hand and asked, "Who brought it?"
"Su Zhe stayed for me to identify?"
As soon as he heard that it was Su Zhe's thing, Gao Bofei suddenly became angry: "What is there to identify this guy's things, isn't he a director of the Antique Association? ”
Gao Gang frowned slightly, Su Zhe was about the same age as his son, to be precise, younger than him. But in terms of doing things calmly and calmly, my son can't compare at all.
As a father, everyone wants to see their son improve and have a greater edification in the future. Gao Bofei is not very bad now, but Gao Gang has greater expectations.
He sighed and said, "Bofei, you should restrain your temper. You must know that the most taboo in our industry is not calm and irritable. When appraising, if something goes wrong because of emotional fluctuations, it will not affect the meaning and value of an antique a little. ”
A millimeter is missing, a thousand miles away.
It's just that Gao Gang knows that Gao Bofei can't listen to these things now.
Waving his hand to signal his son to go out, Gao Gang looked at the white vase in front of him. Although his son's words just now were emotional, what he said was not unreasonable.
Su Zhe was able to sit in the position of director, and he was the youngest director since the establishment of the National Antiques Association, and he was not blown out by lip service. There is no real material, and it is self-inflicted humiliation to sit in this position. Besides, Su Zhe's ability has been taught by Gao Gang.
Holding a magnifying glass and observing it carefully for a while, Gao Gang suddenly made a bold move, picked up the white vase and threw it on the ground.
