Chapter 0801 – Testing Hands
“Brother Zhuang, just change the division, this is too cheap for that surname Cen?”
Peng Fei drove his car, and Zhuang Rui had already left the city of Shi, and there was still more than half an hour before he could enter Beijing, and was pulled by Mayor Xue at noon, and had a meal with Director Xia, who had rushed behind him, before he left the city of Shi.
“Peng Fei, for an official in his thirties, he would already be considered to be out in the cold, and no one would dare to use him again behind him.”
Zhuang Rui smiled and shook his head, Peng Fei knew too little about political matters, he only saw the surface, but didn’t know what a simple division of labor meant.
At the lunch table at noon, Mayor Xue briefed Zhuang Rui on the outcome of that incident yesterday.
Given that Mayor Cen did some things in the investment promotion work that violated the image of Shi City, the investment promotion bureau that he was in charge of, was divided by another deputy mayor, and Mayor Cen, without the investment promotion piece of work, can almost be said to have nothing to do.
For less than forty on the high position of Mayor Cen, such a result, representing the end of his political life, which is simply more difficult than to take his life.
However, Mayor Cen also knows that he has provoked the people who can not afford to provoke, hardened his head and admitted the mistake, made a review at the meeting, and reported to the municipal party committee.
Get Investment Promotion Bureau that piece of fat meat of the people, certainly laugh very happy, while the mayor of Cen is silently hide in the corner to lick his wounds, by a small folk craftsman caused by the storm, to here is also considered to be the end.
At lunch time, Mayor Xue also on behalf of the city made a statement, to vigorously support the revival of traditional cultural industries, for folk artisans, to give more favorable policies.
Zhuang Rui did not say anything, just informed the mayor Xue, he and Xu Guoqing will jointly set up an ancient ceramics restoration laboratory, attached to the name of the Beijing Museum, is a non-profit nature, I hope that the city as soon as possible to give a solution to the formalities of the problem.
Such a small thing, the mayor of Xue is naturally a promise, but also promised to allocate a sum of money each year for the laboratory project research, but this was Zhuang Rui politely refused, if the results of the research, then counted who ah?
Magnetic State kiln porcelain from the Song Dynasty, until the late Qing Dynasty have burned, widely circulated, in the folk influence is very large.
But because of the Magizhou kiln firing official kiln time is very short, only a very short period of the Southern Song Dynasty, so the study of this piece of research, in the country is still blank, and there is no physical excavation, in the domestic academic community, is also a very controversial topic.
If Xu Guoqing really can burn the official kiln porcelain to magnetism, it will be a complement to the history of Chinese ceramic development, has a very important significance.
Of course, the reason why Zhuang Rui hung the laboratory in the name of their own museum, but also a little bit of light meaning, as the saying goes, the water does not flow outside the field Well, take advantage of this, but also to the museum to play a free advertisement.
After returning to Beijing, Zhuang Rui let Huangfu cloud helped him recruit a few ancient ceramic restoration students, sent to the high county, these theories and Xu Guoqing’s wild combination, may be able to accelerate the research process.
At the same time Zhuang Rui contacted Hu Rong, asked him to come to Beijing, the two in a day of secret talks, Hu Rong with more than twenty pieces of Tang three-colored ceramic figurines, returned to Burma.
In the following more than a year, the international auction house, from time to time can see one or two pieces of extremely exquisite production of three-color objects, basically from Southeast Asian countries out of the circulation.
After a number of international art appraiser appraisal, are authentic, due to the excellent quality, in this period of time, the international auction field rose a wave of Tang three-color fever, and buyers, most of them are foreign art collectors.
Zhuang Rui in addition to leave the eight pieces of figurines of ladies to play with themselves, the remaining more than 20 pieces of Tang Sancai, are sold through Hu Rong’s channels, to the final reckoning, actually earned almost two hundred million yuan, of course, these are all words later.
Zhuang Rui’s museum development is also very good, the daily traffic, basically stabilized at about 10,000 people, although every week there are two days closed time, a month can also bring Zhuang Rui nearly six or seven million income.
Business four or five months down, remove all kinds of expenses, the museum’s net profit is almost 25 million, these money Zhuang Rui did not move, he is ready to use it for the museum’s perfect and buy the collection of items.
Hu Rong’s arrival some time ago, to Zhuang Rui brought a fifty million euros of Swiss bank cashier’s check, this is also that jade mine half a year profit dividends, Zhuang Rui now not bad money.
However, the degree of difficulty of the imitation of the ancient porcelain of magnetic state, far beyond the imagination of Zhuang Rui outside, has been two or three months of time, the progress is not very big.
Now the main problem, is the firing of the fire is not mastered, either high temperature, or low, there is a waste furnace, Zhuang Rui put into the ten million yuan, has used up more than two million.
Zhuang Rui simply put this to one side, serious start their studies.
The courses of the Academy of Arts and Sciences of Beijing University are divided into two kinds of large classes and small classes, the large class means that in the grand staircase classroom, all the students of the relevant majors, regardless of grade level, can come to listen to the class.
The small class is more targeted, usually a class consisting of thirty to forty people in one grade, and a doctoral supervisor like Professor Meng will also teach a small class from time to time.
After a few months of professional and systematic study, Zhuang Rui found that the archaeological profession is much more rigorous compared to antique appreciation, and it also requires students of related majors to have a certain ability to reason and judge.
Because all the things within the tomb are dead, want to restore the ancient social landscape through these dead things, you need to reason from these dead things.
Many professors lecture, like to take out some of the ancient tombs have been excavated, in the classroom for discussion, archaeology course up, but also not Zhuang Rui imagined so boring.
In addition, Zhuang Rui all right to run to the medical school side, listening to the course on acupuncture, and Zhang Mang gang of students is also very familiar with the mix, and spent more than eight thousand dollars, specifically ordered a set of acupuncture utensils.
“Hey, I say old brother, you play really ah? Can this …… thing be reliable?”
In Zhuang Rui’s that quadrangle, Ouyang Jun face with fear look at Zhuang Rui hand the cold light shining silver needle, this day Zhuang Rui just got the order of these silver needles, excited even the class do not go to the class, directly drive home, pulling on the Ouyang Jun will be doing experiments.
Ouyang Jun was once acupuncture, know that this thing in general, is not tied to death, but this needle people changed into Zhuang Rui, Ouyang Jun heart is not bottom, this year quacks more ah! Not to mention Zhuang Rui’s half-assed level, not even a doctor.
“Yeah! Xiao Rui, you’ve only listened to so many lessons, can you do it?”
Ouyang Wan also feels that Zhuang Rui’s move is a bit of a joke, Chinese medicine is profound, is it possible to listen to a few lessons and then be able to operate? I’m afraid that even those students of Chinese medicine hospitals don’t dare to give people needles after graduation.
“Zhuang Rui, I think it’s better to forget about it!” Qin Xuan Bing, with her big belly, looked at the silver needle that was about ten centimeters long and was also a bit scared.
Qin Xuan Bing is pregnant already more than eight months, because of carrying a dragon and phoenix baby, so the stomach is much bigger than the general pregnant women, Zhuang Rui’s mother-in-law is distressed daughter, in the last month also put down the hand of the business, from Hong Kong to Beijing to live.
“Xiao Rui, Za, didn’t your fourth brother say he wasn’t afraid earlier?”
Xu big star is towards Zhuang Rui, the reason is that Ouyang Jun is not very attentive to pay the public food these days, the big star suspected that her husband went out to steal food again, and caught this opportunity, just to give Ouyang Jun some eye candy.
In the first two months, Zhuang Rui and Ouyang Jun joked, said he is learning acupuncture, then take Ouyang Jun try his hand, Ouyang Jun thought Zhuang Rui said to play, at that time, the big words promised.
But now see Zhuang Rui to come for real, Ouyang fourth young man is a little dumbfounded.
“I say old brother, otherwise, give the White Lion a try first?”
Ouyang Jun looked wistfully at the white lion lying beside Zhuang Rui, but was immediately scared back by the white lion’s low roar, knowing that Zhuang Rui was feeding aura to the white lion, where was the need to use a needle?
“Fourth brother, man up! I’m just going to stab an acupoint on your hand this time, how big of a deal is that?”
Zhuang Rui a mouth, the white lion and Xue’er immediately stood up the body, one left and one right to Ouyang Jun surrounded in the center, and originally was watching the tree to see the golden feather, also issued a “gaga!” The Golden Feather, which was originally watching from the tree, also let out a “GaGa!” cry, seemingly ready to pounce down at any time.
Small golden eagle these months grow very fast, wings open length, has reached about two meters, and upright height, there are sixty or seventy centimeters, plus the body of dark golden feathers, looks quite strange, already has a few points of the parents of the elegance.
Yard that old acacia tree on the bird’s nest, has been expanded once, this time Zhuang Rui once in place, the bird’s nest door built almost a meter size, the entire bird’s nest to get like a small house.
With the growth of age, the little golden feather becomes more and more generalized (?). It likes to imitate Zhuang Rui’s movements, and when it sees Zhuang Rui’s love of picking up Ouyang Jun’s son and lifting him up, it even does something that makes everyone think of nothing else.
One day at noon, Xu Qing was pushing a cart and sunbathing with her son in the yard, when she turned around, the little golden feather sneaked over, and with its two wings spread out and closed in the center, it actually picked up Ouyang Jun’s several-month-old son.
At that time, but Xu Qing was very frightened, even cried and shouted to the yard of the people were tossed out, but see the golden feather did not hurt little Ouyang, they can not help but tsk tsk wonder.
Over and over again, the little guy to see the golden eagle to hold it, than to see their own father to kiss a lot.
