Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Niu Sanpang is very envious of this Yongzheng red ground painted flower bowl, it is so exquisite and beautiful, it is worthy of the peak period of porcelain firing in the Qing Dynasty.

"San Pang, what's for lunch?"

Niu Sanpang put down the Yongzheng golden bowl reluctantly, and then said: "There is a seafood restaurant nearby, how about we have seafood at noon?"

"I'm fine, but haven't you ever had gout, do you still dare to eat seafood?"

Xu Jiaxin glared at Sanpang and said, "I can't control my gluttony. Fortunately, my gout is under control. The hospital did an examination and said that eating a little for a month is not a big problem."

"Don't waste time, let's go now."

Put the antiques in the safe, and the four of them walked to the opposite commercial street. The owner of the hotel is very familiar with the three fat couples. Seeing them, he immediately greeted them with a smile and said, "Mr. Niu, Mr. Xu, you haven't been here for a while. There is a private room upstairs, please come here."

"Mr. Zhao, let your chef cook out the best craftsmanship at noon. How about my brothers coming over to taste their craftsmanship?"

Niu Sanpang did not introduce Li Mo's identity, but the hotel owner knew of Niu Sanpang's identity. He was followed by many well-known masters in Kyoto.

The more he didn't introduce Li Mo's background, the more the hotel owner thought that the man wearing glasses had an extraordinary background.

Li Mo and the others can just wait to eat the dishes Xu Jiaxin ordered.

"Three Fatty, what's the current situation of the Buddhist pilgrimage site over there in Jidi?"

"That's quite good. Now the incense is flourishing every day. When tourists from all over the country come to Kyoto or Yandu, they will go there to offer a stick of incense and worship. After all, the finger bone relic of Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined in Dalei The one in the Yin Temple, and the King of the World’s Xizhang has been passed down to be more and more miraculous, and it is truly integrated with the image of Tang Xuanzang in Journey to the West. Coupled with the blessing of so many golden arhats, in short The Buddhist holy land has become a sacred place for the spiritual sustenance of Buddhist believers in the world."

"This is just the beginning, and it's unclear what will happen later."

Niu Sanpang poured him a cup of hot water and said, "The 480,000 pieces of various antiques that the island country lost to you last year have all flowed back to China. How do you deal with such a huge amount?"

"I will only take 48,000 pieces of various antiques from it, and the rest will be handled by the officials. By the way, next week, our Millennium Shengzang Group will jointly hold a celebration banquet with the officials, and you and Jiaxin will also attend it. "

"I like this kind of lively scene the most, and I must participate." Niu Sanpang said here, and then turned around and lowered his voice a little bit, "Gossip, are you going to open a bank?"

"yes."

"I'll go, or you're awesome, even this thing can handle it." Opening a bank is a lucrative business. You can make a lot of money easily with your left hand and your right hand.

Li Mo just smiled. I also figured out the way behind this later. Gu Yunxuan Commercial Bank will definitely not be a sole proprietorship, and the government will also participate.

"Three Fatty, when things get a little closer, you prepare funds and participate in it when the time comes, and forget about the others, they don't have that strength."

Niu Sanpang immediately picked up the wine glass: "Brother, the greatest luck in my life was to meet you and Cai Cai in the antique market more than ten years ago. I really didn't expect to have you and me today. I will toast you with tea instead of wine." You drink."

"Your greatest luck is not meeting me, but marrying a good wife. You can have today, but the Niu family is not today. Jiaxin has contributed a lot. You should respect her."

"Yes, my wife must be respectful."

Before the food was served, the four chatted casually for a while. At this time, Li Mo's cell phone rang, and he took it out to look at it and then connected it.

"Comrade Li, have you had lunch yet?"

"I'm not in the mood to eat. The man in Langjia Village, Huizhou passed away. Your aunt asked me if I want to go back. Xiaomo, what do you think?"

The image of the thin old man of the Lang family appeared in Li Mo's mind. Although he didn't have any good impressions of him, his death was like a lamp being extinguished, and all the grievances and grievances in the past also disappeared.

Li Zhongsheng called himself and asked himself, in fact, he didn't really want to hear what he thought, but he still wanted to go and see him off for the last time.

"Dad, go back with your aunt and the others, even if it means ending the last grievance with the Lang family."

"Hey, the death light is off, so let's end it like this." Li Zhongsheng sighed, "Then I'll hang up first, and discuss it with your aunt and uncle on the phone."

"Brother Hero, what happened, I feel that your face is not good-looking."

Cai Cai asked with concern.

"It's all about the previous generation." Li Mo roughly talked about the grievances and grievances between the older generation, "If you look at the grievances, I hate the father and son of the Lang family very much. But if you look at the cause and effect Said, the old man of the Lang family has fulfilled my parents, and we have our respective achievements today. Let’s not mention this, let’s have dinner. Finish eating early, and we will continue to visit Liulichang in the afternoon. I hope there will be fewer tourists in the afternoon .”

After eating a few dishes, Li Mo said in surprise, "The seafood is very fresh, but why is the taste similar to Yan Xin's dishes?"

San Pang laughed a few times and said: "The chef is the boss's son, and his son is Yan Xin's apprentice. After he graduated from the teacher, he opened a seafood restaurant by himself, and Yan Xin also took a share. Every time I come to eat, The boss insisted on not wanting money, which made me feel embarrassed to come here. After pushing and pushing, he gave me a 20% discount."

tuk tuk -

The boss opened the door and walked in, holding a pot of warm rice wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Niu, the nine-year-old daughter Hong Jingjiu, put two slices of old ginger to warm it up, drink less to get rid of the coldness of seafood .”

"Mr. Zhao, come and have a drink together."

Niu Sanpang pulled Lao Zhao to sit on the empty seat beside him.

"I'm still busy ahead, so I won't disturb your meal."

"Okay, what can you do as a boss, and don't look at who else is sitting here."

Who else was sitting was naturally Li Mo and Zhu Caicai. Lao Zhao has always been curious about Li Mo's identity, so he didn't pay attention to Zhu Caicai. At this time, the more he looked, the more he felt that this young and beautiful woman with a faint aura looked familiar.

He turned his head quickly, and then asked with a bit of shock and tentativeness on his face: "Are you Mr. Zhu of the Beautiful Charity Foundation?"

"Hi Mr. Zhao."

Zhu Caicai stretched out her hand and shook him lightly.

There was a huge wave in Lao Zhao's heart. The scale of Haohao Charity Fund was as high as several tens of billions. After donating two to three tens of billions, the remaining cash flow was more than 30 billion. This is more than the total amount of several listed companies. The market value is even higher.

A woman in her twenties masters a scale of tens of billions, because there is a giant-like existence behind her. Thinking of this, Lao Zhao's eyes fell on Li Mo unconsciously. After taking off his glasses, he could still see the shape of Li Mo's face.

"You are Professor Li?"

Old Zhao was startled, and stood up from the chair all of a sudden, even bending his waist a little.

"Mr. Zhao, sit down, I'm here for dinner. The seafood is good, and the chef has got Yan Xin's 80-90% authenticity. The daughter Hong you sent is also good, and it's been very hot for nine years. How about having a drink together?"

"Okay, it's my honor."

Lao Zhao was so excited, it was true that he had some money, but compared with Li Mo, he was so poor that he couldn't be poor. It never occurred to me that one day I would be able to drink at the same table with such a person, and I would brag about it in the future.

Several people drank a little rice wine, and then Lao Zhao thought of something, stood up and said respectfully: "Professor Li, can you show me an antique. My son found it here in Liulichang a few years ago. , and then sent it to the auction house for expert appraisal. The appraiser there said that the value of the antique was at least five million. Later, my son thought, if it is really worth more than five million, then he would take it home and become a family heirloom for the next generation. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and it will definitely become more and more valuable in the future.”

"I was lucky enough to meet Professor Li today, so I suddenly had this idea. If you also verify that it is true, then we will pass it on from generation to generation."

"Okay, just bring it here and let me have a look."

Soon Lao Zhao walked into the box with a square box, put it on the sideboard, and took out an elephant ear stove from it.

"Professor Li, please."

Li Mo walked to the sideboard, knocked with his hand first, and the stove made a crisp sound.

"This is made of red copper. To identify such antiques, we mainly look at ornamentation and decorative art. These two points are a bit different from the decorative art forms that have appeared in our country." Li Mo picked up the lid on the stove and said, "Everyone Come and have a look, the pattern on it looks like a lotus pattern at first glance, but it is a little different from our traditional lotus pattern. Look at the beast above, its image must have been seen by you, it is the African lion look, not our traditional lion look."

A bad feeling rose in Lao Zhao's heart.

"Look at the animal face on this side. What does it look like? This is not Capricornus. I think it has a Southeast Asian style. This stove has elephant ears and feet. Overall, the workmanship is relatively rough."

Li Mo lifted the stove and turned it over to look at the bottom.

"Look at the bottom again. It looks like a big flat bottom, but it is actually wavy, and there are some traces of sandpaper polishing. It feels a bit angular to the touch. Mr. Zhao, how much did you pay for this stove? "

Old Zhao was a little embarrassed, raised a finger and said, "One hundred thousand."

Li Mo smiled: "This elephant ear and elephant foot furnace is cast nondescriptly, and it can only last for decades at most. One hundred thousand yuan is just to buy a lesson, and it's not of great value."

Old Zhao couldn't be more embarrassed, but he still said gruffly: "The appraisers of those auction houses all said that this stove is worth more than five million yuan. It seems that we were fooled by them."

Li Mo sat back on the chair, picked up a piece of lobster meat and said while eating: "There are many small auction houses in the market that are masher, even if you send a stone, they can identify it as an excellent emerald." Rough stone. Then you are fooled into paying a storage fee of 108,000 and 80,000 for storage and operation fees, saying that it is for publicity in the early stage. When the auction comes, they will find a prop to push the price to more than 5 million, but in fact it is If you don’t pay, the auction house will tell you after half a year that the buyer missed the appointment, and the item will be returned to you. But the money you paid in the early stage is non-refundable, and they rely on this game to make money.”

"If you play well, it's easy to get millions of storage and operating expenses a year. Mr. Zhao, take this time as a lesson. Next time you encounter some antiques, don't listen to what others say. , but to look at the origin of the thing itself.”

Seeing Mr. Zhao's gloomy expression, Li Mo pointed at Sanpang: "Mr. Niu has his own New Century Auction House, and he is the clearest about some shady things in this industry."

San Pang took a sip of rice wine, and said helplessly, "Which industry is profitable, there will always be a group of black sheep. Mr. Zhao, if you are cheated by the auction house, I can help you find it for as much as you pay." Come back, the loss of buying antiques can only be dumb and eat coptis, no matter how unpalatable it is, you can only swallow it in your stomach. Besides, one hundred thousand is not much. If you want to buy treasures in the future, you should pay more attention to it. After all, you are not like this specialists."

"That's the only way to go. Take one hundred thousand as a lesson."

At the end of the meal, Lao Zhao insisted on a treat, but Li Mo didn't treat him politely, and he didn't have much money.

"Brother, you and President Zhu continue to visit Liulichang?"

"I can't finish shopping today, so I will continue to visit tomorrow. Cai Cai, let's go by another road."

"Okay, contact me as soon as you have something good, and I'll go over and get it for you." Niu Sanpang wanted to go with it, after all, the feeling of picking up the leak is too exciting. But if someone recognizes it, it will disrupt Li Mo's rhythm of Taobao.

Li Mo and Cai Cai walked along another road. This road is not big, but there are many shops on both sides of the road, mainly engaged in catering business and small supermarkets, and there are also two or three shops selling clothes and shoes.

"Boss, here are two bunches of candied haws."

Seeing a small shop selling candied haws, Cai Cai hurried over to buy two bunches, and handed one to Li Mo.

"Not to mention, this freshly made candied haws is delicious, just good for digestion." Li Mo took a bite, the candy wrapped on the outside was very crisp, and the hawthorn inside was sour and sweet, making it a bit noodle-y. When I was a child, I ate a lot in the area of ​​Chenghuang Temple. When the sugar was about to melt, it tasted bad, sticky to the teeth.

Cross the path and turn into another alley. Although it is far away from the main road of Liulichang, the alley on this side is wider, so there is also a row of stalls extending to the main road.

Li Mo looked while walking, and he stopped in front of the eighth stall. Calligraphy and paintings were placed on this stall. Except for the small half of calligraphy and painting that was spread out, the rest were rolled up and placed together. At least it is inserted in a wooden barrel.

Two men in their forties were reading a picture, and the two exchanged their thoughts and opinions in a low voice from time to time.

"The characters are in cursive script, which has the calligraphy taste of Zhu Zhishan, one of the four great talents of the Ming Dynasty."

"I think it's a bit of the essence of Zhang Xu's wild grass, but it's a pity that it's not the authentic work of the two of them, otherwise it should be worth a lot of money."

"Even if it's not an authentic work, this calligraphy and painting was handed down by a calligrapher in the early Qing Dynasty, and it can be worth a lot of money at an auction."

Li Mo took a glance and became wary of these two guys. What nonsense cursive calligraphy, but also the taste of Zhu Zhishan, and the essence of Zhang Xu, is simply talking nonsense with open eyes. As for the early Qing Dynasty, it is even more nonsense, at most it is early this year.

If something goes wrong, it is a demon, and there are too many gangs in the antique shop.

Cai Cai didn't react at all, as long as Brother Daxia stops, you mean that there may be a big sale at this stall, and you don't know what antiques Brother Daxia will find here.
