Chapter 0787 The Loser (II)
After a meal, Zhuang Rui understanding of Xu Guoqing more some, dare to say that this is located in the boss, before it is Xu Guoqing family neighbors, the two can be regarded as hair small it!
Xu family fortune in the eighties, led to a lot of local people followed the fortune, although Xu Guoqing took over the factory after the dry mess, but there are many people are hair up, but also do ceramic factory, and in the boss, is in the eighties ran up transportation, now has a sizeable fleet.
As for the dumping of antiques, is the boss’s side business, this thing still has to start from Xu Guoqing’s body.
Although Xu Guoqing business is not doing well, but the relationship with Yu Zhengjun has been good, Xu Guoqing in the early nineties, made those ceramic objects, are hand to give away, which sends people inside the Yu Zhengjun.
Yu Zhengjun was initially their own a car to run up the transportation, traveled to many places, but also made a lot of friends, once a southern customer to his home, saw the Tang Sancai placed in the living room, immediately look fascinated by the eye, this thing is not worth the money in the heart of the Zhengjun know, and then casually gave something to the customer.
It is also from the mouth of this customer from the south, Yu boss know what is called antiques, and then out of the car to go to the field, but also stay on the heart of the nineties antiques is not so hot, really pull out to a lot of good things.
But Yu Zhengjun this person’s idea is more positive, although in the antique above earned money, but the transportation has been running, and the formation of a transportation company, business scale step by step in the expansion of the small county, is also considered a multi-million dollar successful people.
So many years down, Yu Zhengjun also work out a little eye medium, and later and Li Li vigorously recognize, from all over the country dumped a lot of real and fake objects to Li Li vigorously, is half of the antique circle of people.
After telling these things to Zhuang Rui, Yu Zhengjun said to Zhuang Rui: “Zhuang boss, although my brother Xu is a little mute, but the heart is definitely not bad, this time the thing is that I want to help him to turn over some money, the idea is that I set down, you do not want to be difficult for the Qing Guo ah!”
Zhuang Rui smiled at his words and waved his hands, “Boss Yu you misunderstood, I came here, I just want to get to know Mr. Xu, I have no other intention, right, you said Mr. Xu is having trouble with his money turnover now?”
When Zhuang Rui mentioned this, Mr. Xu’s face suddenly showed sadness, and said with a sigh: “Alas, how can he still talk about turnover? The whole of a mountain of water, daughter-in-law have run back to her mother’s home, the money for the child’s college education, are me to pay.”
“How can this be? Mr. Xu is not still a little family?”
Zhuang Rui froze for a moment, dare this master has already mixed to the point of exhaustion ah?
Yu Zhengjun sighed and said, “Old Xu doesn’t know how to run a business, some years ago he was cheated out of more than three million dollars, there were three or four years when the factory didn’t have any production value, and he had to support a bunch of people at that time. Plus he often spend money to buy some porcelain firing raw materials and so on, even his old man built the house are sold, and now the workers also ran away, he moved to the factory to live, I just can not understand, this thing although do real, but in the domestic sell not what price, why he must fan do this thing ah?”
“Mr. Zhuang, you don’t think that I am not a good person, I and Qing Guo is a child, wearing crotch pants when we know, but this thing I can’t help him, this is a bottomless pit ah! I can’t afford to fill this hole either.”
After hearing Yu Zhengjun’s explanation, Zhuang Rui realized, dare Xu Guoqing made things never sell, who like to give who, these years do not know how many out?
But this object out of the cost is extremely high, each almost all to five or six million cost, not counting those who do not waste, so sit and eat, and then rich he can not stand ah!
Xu Guoqing’s wife used to support him this hobby, but saw the pants pockets become flat day by day, persuade Xu Guoqing a few times do not listen, simply ran back to his mother’s home.
Now Xu Guoqing factory even electricity can not afford it, he also a little back to the flavor of the year, picked up dozens of fine ceramics burned, commissioned by Yu Zhenggun out.
Yu Zhengjun some time ago to recognize a Japanese customer, looking at Xu Guoqing’s plant, but Xu Guoqing said nothing is not willing to sell, engaged in the final or disagree, it is also because of this incident, Xu Guoqing took out dozens of his own collection of works, to Yu Zhengjun to sell.
But Xu Guoqing’s intention, is to treat these things as modern handicrafts to sell, he also did not expect Yu Zhengjun turned around and dumped it to Li Dali, if not fall into the hands of Zhuang Rui, this batch of objects may also be auctioned out in the black market.
“Mr. Zhuang, this is Lao Xu’s factory, many people are now eyeing this piece of land!”
After dinner, a group of people under the leadership of Yu Zhengjun, drove toward Xu Guoqing’s ceramic factory, his factory is not far from the county, after driving for about twenty minutes, you can see the factory’s fence, covering an area that is not small. It seems that Xu Guoqing’s factory is really to the point of exhaustion, lime and cement outside the fence have fallen off, revealing the inside of the eighties of the red bricks, the root of the fence is full of weeds, a defeated scene.
Back then, Xu Guoqing’s dad chose this place to build the factory because it was surrounded by crop land and the land was cheap, but now that there are residential areas and streets everywhere next to it, this factory is placed here, but it seems a bit out of place.
“Old Xu, Old Xu, open the door quickly ……”
After parking the car in front of the factory, Yu Zhengjun smashed at the rusty door, a few barks came from inside the door, but after hearing Yu Zhengjun’s voice, it immediately turned into a low whimpering sound.
“This guy can’t even afford to keep a dog anymore, alas ……”
Yu Zhengjun carried the leftovers he had just packed in his hand and gestured, and only then did Zhuang Rui understand what Boss Yu meant when he had just finished eating and asked the waiter to pack it.
“This man, again, I don’t know what he’s doing, Boss Zhuang, don’t care, I’ll call him right away.”
After waiting at the door for five or six minutes, there was no movement inside the door, Yu Zhengjun hurriedly picked up his cell phone and dialed out, after the call, the dude directly roared, telling Xu Guoqing to come open the door quickly.
“Old Yu, brought food to the rhubarb, thrown through the door not on the line? Why did you have to call me over?”
Xu Guoqing’s nature is slow enough, after the phone call, still waiting for another seven or eight minutes, before hearing the footsteps and the sound of talking from inside the door.
With the sound of that iron door that makes teeth sour ringing, a head full of long hair beard scruffy, with thick lenses of middle-aged man, appeared in front of a few people.
This middle-aged man’s hair is very distinctive, at first glance, divided into white, red and blue three colors, Zhuang Rui carefully measured, only to see that the original is stained with color, it seems that this person should be busy with something.
However, this image and Zhuang Rui in his mind the master, that is a far cry, the whole of a decadent old boy, this image does not need to dress up, and the United States in the seventies and eighties of the hippies have a spell.
The middle-aged man raised his eyes to measure Zhuang Rui and others, turned his head to Yu Zhengjun, said: “Old Yu, I did not give you said? The factory is not for sale but only for rent, my lab can’t be moved, and also, to rent it is not to rent it to the Japanese, damn little Japan’s current porcelain making process, or when it was snatched from us here!”
Zhuang Rui and others heard this Xu Guoqing amused, dare this or a patriotic cynic it!
“Old Xu, in addition to the firing of porcelain when you are normal, usually can not also normal ah?”
Yu Zhengjun to his old friend is also a little helpless, will be in the hands of packed food poured into the door of the basin, said: “Old Xu, I mentioned to you, this is Mr. Zhuang, specially rushed from Beijing, how do you old boy also let us go in to sit ah!”
“Mr. Zhuang? That Mr. Zhuang, I don’t know him?”
Xu Guoqing obviously forgot the old Yu to mention things to him, but this person although obsessed with ceramics, but the most basic human feelings still understand, at once a few people let in.
The factory’s yard is still quite large, but in addition to the lime paved road, both sides of the road are full of weeds, facing the door of a workshop, but also padlocked, I do not know how long did not start.
“I have only the laboratory here that can sit people, go to the laboratory to do it!”
Xu Guoqing led the crowd around that workshop, Zhuang Rui immediately saw a large chimney, although not very high, but very thick, below the chimney was the laboratory that Xu Guoqing said.
“Oops, I remember, Lao Yu, this Zhuang Rui is always not the one you told me about, the one who can tell that my three-colored pottery figurine is fake, isn’t it?”
Just pushing open the door of the lab, Xu Guoqing turned around violently as if he was possessed by a little ghost, startling the few people behind him.
“Yeah! Mr. Zhuang just saw those three-colored ceramic figurines of yours, that’s why he came to see you, I say you let us go in first and pour a glass of water into it?”
Yu Zhengjun and Xu Guoqing were familiar with each other and knew that this person was a bit of a god, so he pushed him away and let Zhuang Rui and the others in.
