Chapter 306: Chaos and Kindness
Tang Qiyun's uncle is the second employee family to come to the studio.
The last family member who came here was Sister Gao's son, and the young man was sometimes arranged by Sister Gao in the conference room on weekends to rush homework.
Zhang Yang went to care for it once before, and found that he didn't know how to do Olympiad math problems at all, so he never humiliated himself again.
This time, Xiao Tang's uncle came over, of course, not to find someone to help with homework.
He had a tricky encounter:
The person who was engaged in the scam of the article played the game and made a game.
In Xiao Tang's words, among the people she knows, only Zhang Yang can help.
Compared with the other two employees, this is the first time Xiao Tang has asked Zhang Yang for help.
Zhang Yang summed it up, and at most he wasted half an hour of his time, and it was difficult for him, the boss, to refuse.
At the elevator entrance, Zhang Yang met Tang Qiyun's uncle, and Tang taught himself.
Old Tang is a very ordinary middle-aged man, wearing a black coat, a scruffy beard, and a somewhat decadent expression on his face.
Standing beside the youthful Xiao Tang, one is like the rising sun and the other is like the sunset.
After seeing Zhang Yang, Tang Zixue's first reaction was to go up and shake hands, but when he thought of being downstairs, Tang Qiyun told him to be more steady, and his body unconsciously shrank back, revealing a somewhat restrained smile.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the three of them entered Zhang Yang's office for a detailed discussion.
"Uncle Tang, let's take a look at the evidence that Tang Qiyun said before, shall we?"
"Uh-huh, okay."
Tang Zixue took out a red plastic bag from the leather bag in front of him, which contained the documents he had printed in advance.
Zhang Yang received it in his hand, checked them one by one, and asked the parties for details when they encountered unclear places.
In fact, before the Tang family's uncle and nephew came, Zhang Yang had already understood the general course of the matter.
This middle-aged man named Tang Zitu, in his hometown of Xiaxian County, opened a "pawnshop" to do gold jewelry recycling business.
Anyone who has ever worked in a pawn shop knows that this kind of shop actually accepts everything.
Because it is a small place, the business is not profitable, and it is not too busy, so the idle old Tang began to write online.
It's not to write, but to write some articles about gold jewelry, cultural toys and jade-related knowledge, and post them on the Baijia number created by themselves.
are all articles like "Three Tips to Help You Distinguish Real and Fake Gold", "Analysis of Red Mountain Culture Jade Face Ornaments", "How Many Things Stolen from the British Museum" and so on.
The account has been running for more than two years, and in Tang's self-taught words, "in the circle, it is already quite famous."
Zhang Yang actually took a look, and there were a total of 3,600 fans, close to 10,000 likes.
But with such a little popularity, Lao Tang is already thinking about how to monetize.
After various certifications, he started a paid consulting business.
For 19 yuan, you can consult him about any question, including antique collection, precious metal recycling, famous cigarettes and wine, and so on.
"I was thinking about making money for cigarettes."
Tang Zixue talked about the original intention of opening a paid business, and his tone was somewhat regretful.
He touched his pockets and remembered that when the cigarettes were downstairs, they were all thrown into the trash.
"Ugh." He sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that some people wouldn't even be willing to pay for cigarettes." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yang almost laughed.
Is that a question of reluctance?
He saw his answer when others asked Lao Tang for identification, which was outrageous.
It should be that after writing the article "Analysis of the Jade Face Ornament of Hongshan Culture", someone took a video of the jade face ornament and asked him how the things were.
The jade portrait in the photo looks like a low-end imitation, but the treasure owner moved in advance and said that there is only one such thing in the Jinmen Museum.
Old Don probably believed it and replied:
"Yes, yes, this is right, this is a typical Shang Dynasty jade carving style."
Also pretended to be indicated:
"It's the first time I've seen this kind of shape and technique, but really good things can speak."
"[Like] [Like] [Like]"
The expressions of those thumbs up are really laughable.
The treasure owner who came to identify it was even more desperate, and directly took the screenshot of the chat as evidence, and sold the imitation to a retired teacher at a high price.
By the time the buyer found something wrong with the appraisal, the treasure owner had already taken the money and flew away.
If you can't find a seller, you can only find the "culprit".
The buyer naturally found Tang Zixue here.
But when Lao Tang registered, he filled in all the real information, and even used his own pawn shop to do account authentication.
As a result, the anti-fraud police came directly to the door.
The best thing is that this case is not an isolated case, there are a total of four victims, all of whom were deceived in this way.
The words are almost the same, they are all looking for Lao Tang as an endorsement.
Not long ago, four deceived buyers joined forces to sue Don.
During the pre-trial mediation, the other party asked him to choose between "compensation" and "imprisonment".
"Uncle Tang, can I interview you, what kind of mentality did you have when you gave these appraisal results?"
Zhang Yang was very curious about this point.
After he read it throughout, Tang Zixue said to all the people who came to him for consultation that things were true.
It's unreasonable, because some of the fakes are outrageous.
If it weren't for Xiao Tang's repeated assurances, Zhang Yang would have felt that he was a national treasure.
The expressions of thumbs up are very dark humor.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, boss, I felt that if something was fake, others might not be able to accept it, and it was easy to be complained."
"It's really the easiest thing to say, if something happens, I'll just say I'll just look away."
"yes, got it." Zhang Yang held back a smile and nodded.
What chaos is good......
This old Don knows how to take advantage of the weakness of human nature, but it turns out that this operation is not feasible.
"Then boss, do you have room to turn around?" Tang Zixue asked tentatively: "I really don't have the money to pay them back, it's really not good, it's okay to think of a way to save me a few years in prison." ”
"Don't panic, it's not as serious as you say."
Zhang Yang could see that the old Tang in front of him was so decadent, it was estimated that he was mentally attacked during the pre-trial mediation.
But it's actually a small matter and it's easy to solve.
"First of all, the next time you mediate or formally hold a formal trial, you have to admit in court that you have been blind before. This shouldn't be difficult, right? ”
Tang Zixue didn't speak, but turned his head and glanced at his niece.
The first time they met, he was a little unbelievable, which was normal, so he had to consult his niece's opinion.
"No problem." Tang Qiyun replied for her uncle: "When the time comes, take out all the consultation records, and the judge will see that 100% of them are genuine, which is obviously nonsense." ”
"But if it's just that, will it be regarded as a fraudster?"
"Of course, this possibility is not ruled out, but if the fraud amount is less than 3,000, it is not a crime, it is just a law and order violation, and it is not a criminal."
"Oh, that's good. I took more than 100 orders in total, and it was definitely less than 3,000. ”
Tang Zixue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after listening to Zhang Yang's first step, he was already relieved.
"In this way, it can only guarantee that you are not criminally responsible, but I think those four people who were deceived will definitely not accept such a result." Zhang Yang analyzed.
In fact, the fact that Lao Tang was accused of going to court is not common in the antique circle.
More commonly, it should be the victim who leads someone to block the door.
Returnable? Then don't do your business.
"yes!" Tang Zixue nodded again and again: "They have already gone to the door of my store to pull up banners before, and they also released the tire gas of my electric car, so I can't do business at all." ”
"The main thing is that they already have my personal information in hand, and they can't run away, so I think about going to prison to hide."
"Uncle, why do you keep thinking about going to jail!" Tang Qiyun said with some hatred that iron does not become steel.
"You are still a student, you don't understand, it's not that it's legal, you are not responsible." Tang Zixue explained helplessly.
"That's the truth, so there's a second step."
Zhang Yang clicked on the video sent by the original treasure connoisseur on Lao Tang's mobile phone:
"I probably know the source of these things."
"Previously, Chaoyang City, Liao Province cracked an ancient jade fraud case, and the materials and craftsmanship of these pieces of jade you identified have a high probability that they are the ...... supplied by their workshop."
"Can you find this?"
Tang Zixue was still hesitating, Tang Qiyun had already understood the meaning of Zhang Yang.
"Boss, I see." She patted her uncle on the shoulder and said, "Whether we can find it or not, we have to give someone an explanation." ”
"That's what it means." Zhang Yang agreed.
……
After sending Tang away for self-study, Zhang Yang returned to the office, waiting for Sister Gao and them to go to work, and communicating with Sheng Hai about the auction.
It's been called a day.
If you look at the transaction amount of the lots, Mo is worthy of being the commercial capital, and the turnover of this Shenghai auction is more than that of Linhai and Yangcheng.
Zhang Yang easily got 20 million.
However, there are not many international metropolises left for him to host such events.
Yanjing has already done it once, although the main purpose is to sacrifice the teacher Che, but in the end, Zhang Yang took over and earned a small eight million.
The next stop, Ding Qiang's suggestion is to go to Chang'an.
As the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, Chang'an has unearthed so many antiques that almost every local farmer has a few heirlooms.
Holding an event over there will be an unprecedented event.
But Zhang Yang thought about it carefully, and finally decided to set the next stop in Jinmen.
Laojinmen, "the lower tip of the nine rivers and the mouth of the three seaports", in the late Qing Dynasty and modern times, has a full sense of existence.
Although the folk collection may not be as much as Chang'an, it has a relationship with Xiao Chu and can cover it.
The most important thing is that, according to Zhang Yang's previous treasure appreciation, all the treasure friends from the nearby areas of Chang'an will be punished for most of the things they shoot.
The soul bottle appeared several times in the live broadcast room, and when I asked Baoyou's address, it was either in Chang'an or in the Central Plains.
Holding treasure appreciation activities and auctions in such a place is too risky.
In case of any major tomb robbery case, the activity will be stopped.
As for the next stop to Jinmen, the auction company has no opinion.
As long as Zhang Yang is happy, they will accompany them to the end when they go to the moon to hold treasure appreciation activities.
Zhang Yang, Ding Qiang, and Manager Wei briefly checked the preparations after that, and the fourth activity was preliminarily finalized.
"Alright, let's get here today."
"Curator Zhang (Brother Yang) bye-bye!"
hung up the video conference, and before Zhang Yang could stand up and stretch his waist, another video call came in.
This time I was looking for a beautiful woman, who I had seen before, Miyuki from Nagasaki.
On the last trip to neon, this girl left a good impression on Zhang Yang, so this call can be answered, but for the sake of insurance, he didn't show his face for the first time.
At the other end of the video, Miyuki is wearing a white sunhat, standing in the shade of a tree, and greets him with a smile:
"Hello, Zhang Sang."
"Good afternoon, Miyuki, your Mandarin accent is getting more and more standard." Zhang Yang responded with a smile.
"Really? I have been practicing Chinese recently. ”
"It's working, it's good now. Is there anything to find me today? ”
"That's ......"
Miyuki reached out and switched the lens to the outside of the phone.
The camera focuses on a construction site with a shade net, and workers are busy on the ground.
"I'm now, in Maebashi City, this is the prefectural office of Gunma Prefecture in the Kanto region, I don't know if you know Zhang San."
"Of course, the hot springs there are famous."
In the past, when he was in high school, Zhang Yang had a roommate who found out when he was watching a movie that neon people especially like to soak in hot springs when he was on a business trip with his boss, so he went to check the famous hot springs of neon and prepared to have the opportunity to experience it.
Among them is Gunma Prefecture.
"Yes." Miyuki nodded with a smile and said, "Now here, there is a ...... Archaeological site. ”
"Kao~ Gu, I don't know if you can understand my pronunciation, it's to dig the antique out of the ground."
"I understand." Zhang Yang nodded: "But we generally say in Chinese, robbing ~ tomb." ”
"Robber, tomb?" Miyuki repeated the newly learned word as she walked forward.
I don't know what her origin is, anyway, no one from the staff at the site stopped her, so she walked all the way to the excavation site.
The picture in the camera made Zhang Yang's eyes widen in surprise.
I saw that the pit was filled with dense copper coins that were round on the outside and square on the inside.
The way the copper coins are arranged is very similar to that of China, and the strings are the best tube money.
"Is this your copper coin, or ours?" Zhang Yang asked.
As we all know, almost all the neon currencies circulating in the Middle Ages were copied from the "Kaiyuan Tongbao" of the Tang Dynasty at that time.
And when the copper coins of the Song Dynasty flowed in, they directly squeezed their own currency out of circulation.
Therefore, the probability of copper coins unearthed in neon is much higher than the probability of their own coinage.
"I don't know, so I'd like to ask you for help."
Several copper coins had already been broken off and placed on pallets.
Zhang Yang took a look and found that the words on the bronze were no longer legible.
He then asked Miyuki to confirm the size of the copper coin, which was about 34 millimeters.
"These coins are all Qin half taels, the currency of the Qin Dynasty in the 2nd century BC."
"Qin Banliang?"
Miyuki didn't understand the word, but she reacted quickly and called the archaeological team members who were excavating at the site.
The man muttered a lot, and finally translated it with voice software, just asking Zhang Yang:
With such a big copper coin, is it only Qin half a tael?
Can you be sure that these copper coins are really bronze coins?
"Of course, the big copper coins are more than Qin half taels, but these are all of them, and they are Qin half taels minted when the Qin Dynasty was just established, with a size of more than 33 millimeters."
Zhang Yang knew what the neon archaeological team members were worried about.
On their side, it is not uncommon for cultural relics to be counterfeited.
So many Qin Banliang are buried here, in case it is a "pro-China" neon person who wants to create an empirical proof that "Xu Fu went to neon", wouldn't he, the person who dug things up, be a Muggle?
