Chapter 0306 Guest of Honor

For the repair of ancient buildings. The general public understand less, after all, now the city left in the ancient buildings are not a lot, in addition to some historical cities, perhaps those far away from the world of the temple.

But the ancient building repair profits are quite high, to be much higher than ordinary house decoration, because this line of work not only need professional knowledge, but also have a specific channel to buy decoration antique building materials, these antique building materials, the price of building materials, but also ordinary building materials several times, which can be done to make the catnip is more.

Gu Yun’s ancient construction company in recent years the development of a very good, because they had taken over the Palace Museum repair work, in this four nine city is also considered more famous, now the business has not only repair ancient buildings, but also to undertake some of the customers requested by the antique building projects.

“Brother Zhuang, how big is your courtyard? How much does it cost to prepare for the renovation?”

To be honest, Gu Yun doesn’t really want to take Zhuang Rui’s job, because there are more restrictions on construction in the city, especially the courtyard, the project is not big, but the effort spent is quite a lot at all, and the other party is his old man’s junior. He was also embarrassed to be playing those jerry-built cats and dogs, if not for the relationship between his own old man and Zhuang Rui, he was too lazy to ask this.

“Brother Gu, I don’t know anything about this decoration, exactly how much it’s going to cost, I can’t estimate it right now, I need you to go and see it to know, that courtyard is not too big either, there are more than 2,000 square feet, right!” Zhuang Rui is trying to build that courtyard in a good direction, as for the money he doesn’t care much, there are still more than twenty million dollars on hand, how to spend should be enough!

“En, more than two thousand square meters, is not much.”

Gu Yun followed Zhuang Rui’s words down, just that “big” word has not yet exported, suddenly woke up, jaw-droppingly looked at Zhuang Rui, said: “more than two thousand square courtyard?

After seeing Zhuang Rui nodding his head to confirm, Gu Yun was a bit dumbfounded, and after a long time, he said, “Success, tomorrow morning I’ll go to the scene with you to take a look, I say brother Zhuang, you’re a real person who doesn’t show his face! This more than two thousand square feet of duplex courtyard, the price is not low, without a eighty million dollars. I’m afraid I can’t take it down!”

Gu Tianfeng and his son talked about Zhuang Rui, but did not say Zhuang Rui’s wealth, just said that he is for the appraisal of emerald, there is a kind of extraordinary intuition and talent, so Gu Yun fiercely heard Zhuang Rui bought a courtyard with more than two thousand square feet, only will have this reaction, his daily dealings with the house, naturally know how much Zhuang Rui’s quadrangle can be worth.

“Oh, not that much, by the way, if I’m going tomorrow, I have to make an appointment with someone.”

Zhuang Rui remembered that his brother-in-law helped him to find that ancient construction expert, and hastily turned out the money clip to find that business card, tomorrow will go to see the house, today about someone else, Zhuang Rui heart also has no bottom, in case the other side if it is not empty it?

Gu Yun sat away from Zhuang Rui into, up to look at a glance, and quickly asked: “Huh? Brother, where did you get this business card?”

“Someone else introduced me to an ancient construction expert, said to be very famous in the country. I want him to help me look at the overall layout, Brother Gu, it shouldn’t conflict with you guys, right?”

Zhuang Rui thought that Gu Yun was afraid that Professor Zhou would take the job away from him and that’s why he had such a question, so he hurriedly explained it to him.

“Cough, Professor Zhou is my master’s tutor, don’t say, you have a big enough face, but my tutor never helps private individuals to look at the house to make drawings.”

This is really no coincidence, after hearing Gu Yun’s words, Zhuang Rui was also a bit surprised, but this is a good thing, no matter what, Master Gu’s son won’t hack himself, right? As long as the quality of the decoration is guaranteed, spending a few more dollars Zhuang Rui doesn’t really care.

However, listening to Gu Yun so, for whether or not to invite Professor Zhou, Zhuang Rui heart is a little bottomless, in the phone after the call, he hastened to report the name of his brother-in-law, fortunately, Professor Zhou checked his schedule, then agreed to do so.

Zhuang Rui quickly gave Ouyang Zhenwu made a phone call, said this, he knows, Professor Zhou can be so quick to agree, that is not to look at their own face.

When Zhuang Rui finished the call, Elder Gu was a bit dissatisfied and knocked on the table. Said: ”Hey, I say you two boys, are you done? Coming to the old man’s place just to talk business?”

“No matter, uncle Gu, I’m not here to send you that set of stationery to come well, if you’re not satisfied, then turn around and I take away is.” Ancient to Zhuang Rui’s feeling and Uncle De is almost the same, to him are from the heart of love and care, so Zhuang Rui said also very casually.

“Brat, I take you a set of four treasures of literature is not should should share ah? But you than my family this kid to be strong, in addition to send some what brain platinum brain gold, do not know the whole point of the old man like objects, a little bit not filial piety.”

“Dad, you are wronging me!”

The old man said that Gu Yun shouted in vain, this is not for the sake of your old body Well, to the old man’s mouth actually become ungrateful.

“Dad, come and eat.”

In the ancient cloud is ready to continue to cry injustice, his daughter-in-law from the kitchen came out, Zhuang Rui quickly stood up and called sister-in-law, ancient cloud’s daughter-in-law is also a teacher, is still teaching in the university. After greeting Zhuang Rui, she went to grab a few of the little ones who were running wild in the yard and brought them to the dinner table.

The old man has two sons and three daughters, the oldest son had something not come today, a few daughters and youngest son are in, this dinner is also eaten happily, Zhuang Rui in the dinner, can not help but think of grandpa them, if he is now in the Yuquan Mountain, it must also be this situation, right!

“Xiao Zhuang, you come with me for a moment.”

After eating, the old man greeted Zhuang Rui. In this courtyard, there are two places that no one dares to enter without the old master’s permission, one is Gu Tianfeng’s study, and the other is the place where he works on jade cutting.

Into the study after sitting down, see Zhuang Rui busy to pour water to make tea, Gu Tianfeng laughed, open the door to the mountain said: “line, do not busy work, say it! What is it that you want your uncle to do again?”

Gu Tianfeng does not believe that Zhuang Rui is really just to send this four treasures to himself, and he also did not give Zhuang Rui said his son’s work, in order to his understanding of Zhuang Rui, must be something to ask.

“Hehehe, senior uncle you are really fiery eyed, you can see this.”

“Fuck off to the side, fiery eyes and golden eyes that’s Sun Monkey, quickly say, I’m still reading your set of literary treasures, say it late and I’ll forget ah!” The old master laughed and scolded Zhuang Rui.

“It’s like this, uncle, my mother found grandparents in Beijing, another three or four months, is my grandfather’s ninetieth birthday, I want to give him the old search for a birthday object, you see last time that piece of mixed-color jade, can you carve a longevity peach?”

Zhuang Rui remembers last time from Xinjiang to get that piece of multi-colored jade material, the middle part of the pink, and there is the size of a fist, carved into a peach should not be a big problem, in the old mother to give himself a gift this time, Zhuang Rui the first time on the memory of this piece of material, just material has been handed over to the ancient Tianfeng, Zhuang Rui even if there is this mind, it also has to be the ancient old man agreed to do so.

Zhuang Rui then said the name of his grandfather. He wasn’t trying to show off his family history, but for Master Gu, there was no need to hide it.

“It’s his old man! Then this object will have to be pondered over.”

Gu Tianfeng’s name for Grandpa Zhuang Rui was also like a thunderbolt, because many stories inside TV dramas and movies were based on Grandpa Zhuang Rui’s archetype.

Ancient closed his eyes and thought, his right index finger was still gesturing on the table, after a full seven or eight minutes, the old man opened his eyes, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and said, “I can help you do a good job with that object, but your kid has to do me a favor.”

Zhuang Rui in the ancient thinking, but even the atmosphere did not dare to breathe a breath, now after hearing the words of the old master’s chest, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, “Master uncle you have something on command, say what to help or not to help.”

Ancient old master smiled slightly, stood up and took a half-meter size box from a bookshelf, put it on the table and opened it, Zhuang Rui found that there were a dozen jadeite jade pendants, pendants, in addition, there are two small pendants, Zhuang Rui was a little bit unsure of what to do, and raised his head to look at the ancient old master.

Ancient pushed that box in front of Zhuang Rui and said, “There are real and fake jadeites in here, take a look first, can you pick out the fake objects.”

“Hehehe, Senior, you’re testing me aren’t you? I’ve put a lot of work into studying jadeite this time!”

Zhuang Rui said boldly, when he lowered his head, he released the aura in his eyes, he was so busy this period of time, where is the time to study jadeite, but with these eyes, just to distinguish the real from the fake, it is naturally difficult to defeat Zhuang Rui.

Zhuang Rui deliberately picked up one piece at a time and looked at it with a magnifying glass, and after dawdling for more than ten minutes, he picked out a pendant, two jade pendants, and a pendulum, and said, “Senior, you old man look at it.”

“Hmm, not bad, all picked out, can you name the materials used to fake these?” Ancient nodded, a look of appreciation in his eyes.

“These two pendants should be resin, the material of this jade pendant is green jade, not jadeite, as for this pendant well, it’s also nephrite, but with a little bit of green color, elder, am I right?”

Zhuang Rui fiddled with a few more objects and then said his opinion.

“Success, now you are qualified to do me a favor.”

Gu Tianfeng smiled, from the drawer of the table, he took out a big red post, handed it to Zhuang Rui, and said, “The day after tomorrow, there is a treasure appreciation program on the Beijing station, inviting me to be the appraisal guest of the jade type of objects, you go on my behalf!”
