Chapter 0534 – Antique Shop (I)

Like this folk kiln porcelain although from the firing process and artistic value, are considered fine, but it lacks a legacy, so in the price, has been lukewarm.

More than eight thousand dollars to buy this set of porcelain, the price is still appropriate, of course, this can not be called picking up leaks, can only be said to be Professor Meng to get a set of their favorite objects it!

“Then boss, you still have any good objects, take out to everyone open eyes!”

Help the teacher photographed this set of Huizhou ceramic tableware, Zhuang Rui looked to the boss said, to the “porcelain to the workshop” of the facade, surely will hide a few store treasure, Zhuang Rui really want to see.

“Hey, boss Zhuang, if you come a day earlier also into, this immediately after the New Year, valuable things are moved to the home, the store is some front goods.”

That boss made a very unfortunate look, true or false, naturally others would not know.

His words were actually half-true and half-false. Really valuable objects, have not been placed in the store, and there are a few authentic ceramics, and now also in the back room safe to put it, but that boss is not willing to take out.

According to the exchanges between the collectors, mutual appreciation of each other’s collections, this is a very normal behavior, but the boss is open for business, he does not want their objects are Zhuang Rui pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of true and false, in his mouth, of course, their own things are true.

“Old that, this is my money to buy porcelain, you point out ……”

While Zhuang Rui was talking, Prof. Meng counted out eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight RMB from his handbag, a stack of pink old people’s heads, and placed it next to the cutlery.

“Good, good ……”

The boss casually took an automatic banknote detector, put the hundred yuan stack of bills into it, “brush brush brush” check several times, with a smile on his face, the money put away.

However, the boss is not going to introduce Prof. Meng to the objects again today, with such a powerful student beside him, he wants to earn Prof. Meng’s money, I guess it’s not very easy to do.

“Old that, do you have any more objects like this one, preferably something that can reflect the culture of the region, it doesn’t have to be an official’s all right ……”

It’s just that that boss didn’t look for Prof. Meng, but Prof. Meng looked for him instead. Professor Meng’s original intention of collecting was for research, regardless of the value of the antiques, as long as they could reflect certain social patterns of the time, he wanted to pocket them and return home to slowly savor them.

“No, Professor Meng, we’re old friends, I’ll be honest with you, this thing is a friend of mine who’s in trouble and put it on consignment with me.”

That boss didn’t look like he was talking nonsense, Professor Meng had some disappointment on his face, and pursued the question, “Then in the hands of that friend of yours, are there any similar objects?”

This set of Huizhou folk porcelain, indeed very representative, Prof. Meng is trying to get a few more, leisure to discover the Chinese regional culture contained therein, for him, this is a very one thing.

“Hey, Prof. Meng, I’ll tell you all about it! Noe. It’s that store across the street from me that’s closed now, my friend was originally selling literary treasures, some time ago was fooled, spent 8 million RMB to buy a so-called Qing Yongzheng’s gilt Buddha statue. Later took out to give people a look, hey, the whole on the copper water plating, inside even copper is not, are iron-infused in the mold to do out, sell scrap iron is not worth 20 dollars. This is not, 8 million are east and west borrowing, now can be good, smashed in the hand, my friend can only put their own collection of some things to take out to sell, and that store, now are in the outward disk ……”

That boss in said this, face show a trace of intolerance color, although they do business to sell out of the object, ten pieces inside there are eight or nine is a fake fake, but if this is spread out in their body, that is also unacceptable.

Whose money is not blowing in the wind, although they have a large flow of Panjiayuan, but antiques this thing has always been three years do not open, open to eat three years.

That boss in this dry seven or eight years of time, but also is to earn three or five million of the family, and this is not as mixed as his people, but also a lot of it, 8 million is a lot of money.

“That boss, you said, is that Zhao boss?”

Zhuang Rui vaguely on that “Shu Ya Zhai” boss. Still have some impression, remember is a more than forty years old white fat man, the person is very funny and elegant, Zhuang Rui in the purchase of the set of four treasures given to the old man, and he dealt with him.

“Yes, that’s him, old Zhao is in a miserable situation now! Immediately after the New Year, this family also dare not return, around to hide accounts, alas, this person which, it is really hard to say, once committed to greed, is a million hijacked ……”

The boss shook his head and sighed for a while, said: “You a few first sit, I make a phone call to go ……”

“Older brother, I see you all day also idle panic, in here disk a store to play is also good ah!”

At the side of some idle boredom, has been fighting with the two girls Ouyang Jun, suddenly came up with such a sentence.

“Me? Plate a curio store?”

Zhuang Rui froze for a moment at Ouyang Jun’s words, followed by shaking his head and said, “Fourth brother. Don’t joke with me, I’m busy all day long, which has the time to manage what curio store ah! I think you are idle and panicked is more or less the same ……”

Zhuang Rui think about this year’s experience, he really hasn’t been idle, the eyes have undergone a mutation for more than a whole year, and his life has changed drastically.

Although not bad money, but the time is as if less and less, have not enjoyed the kind of money earned to run to the beach to build a villa, all day long around the company of a beautiful woman, shading a sun umbrella fishing leisurely life.

Professor Meng who is grasping the set of porcelain. Suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Xiao Zhuang, if you have this amount of money, you can really consider this gentleman’s proposal ……”

“Mr. Meng, but I really don’t have the time! This second half of the year I’m going to study your graduate school, so how will I have the time to manage this store?”

Zhuang Rui did not expect even Professor Meng also said so, he really can not think of taking over a storefront what are the benefits, it is difficult not to wear a robe and coat every day, standing in front of the store “to receive customers”?

“Oh, your uncle said to me you read the purpose of graduate school, is to enrich their theoretical knowledge, I have those courses, you can choose to read, and do not have to go to the scene, there is still a lot of time. In this Panjiayuan store, is not a simple thing, to deal with the relationship has a lot, in fact, you are also a kind of training, and is also very easy to find a good thing.”

“It’s easy to find good stuff?” Zhuang Rui was a bit interested in this sentence, but he didn’t know, why there was a store, it would be easy to find good stuff, it’s not the same as still going by the eyesight!

“Prof. Meng is right, if there’s a store, many people who want to get rid of their antiques will find their way to the door on their own, so there’s a lot of chances to come across good stuff. However, there are two sides to the story, now there is a group of people who specialize in counterfeiting, are also eyeing these antique stores of ours, and there are many things that are being set up, so if you don’t pay attention, you’ll have to suffer a big loss. Not to hide from a few people, old Zhao is being set up, hard to cheat away 8 million, alas, also blame me for not stopping him at that time ……”

That boss finished the phone call, just in time to hear a few people’s conversation. At that moment, he interjected, shaking his head while talking, it seems that his relationship with Old Zhao is really good, and there is no intention of faking.

“Boss Zhao’s store, what price was it to dish out? Did you buy the storefront yourself?”

Being these people said, Zhuang Rui is really a little bit moved, he is sure to get married this year, after the marriage will live in Beijing, always looking for something to do ah!

Beijing Qin Ruilin there are professional managers, Pengcheng business with Zhao Guodong and Zhou Rui to take care of, they seem to be really idle ah! Can not stay at home all day and wife OOXX it?

Although Zhuang Rui feels that he will not be bored with that thing, but that also need to be able to hold up the body to be able to do, that is to say, the tiger penis wine that is to be next year to soak out the effect of the medicine.

The reason why Zhuang Rui has disk that store’s mind, in fact, is to want to pour some jade to sell inside, he is not to steal business with his own Qin Ruilin, he is trying to engage in some of the collection value of jade, as well as Tianhuang stone and bloodstone these miscellaneous objects, today’s treasure appreciation, so that he is interested in these stones also happened.

The boss heard Zhuang Rui words, shook his head and said: “Panjiayuan facade are all public, only for rent will not be sold, the old Zhao that store is the upper and lower two floors, there are compartments in the back, a total of 120 square feet, more expensive than me, is two hundred and twenty thousand a year. At that time, the old Zhao one-time rent for ten years, and now there are still seven years left, if he can put the store disk out, pay back the account in the hands of a few left.”

Zhuang Rui thought for a moment, spoke out and asked: “That boss, I see this Panjiayuan business seems to be good, how will disk not go out?”

“Not disk does not go out, to say a bad word, now Panjiayuan is not a free out of the facade, the old Zhao that store, even if it is in the original rent doubled, immediately someone to take over, but the old Zhao bites the death of six hundred thousand a year does not let go, so this is no one is willing to take over.”

Zhuang Rui heard the words of the boss, in the heart of the calculation, this number is really not small, 600,000 yuan a year, seven years, then is 4.2 million, which is not counting the daily cost of expenses, the average person is really can not afford to play, because antique stores in one or two years without a big in and out of the transaction, are very normal.

“Hey, Old Zhao is here, if you have any unanswered questions, ask him directly!”

Dare to say that the boss just went out to make a phone call, is to let the old Zhao come over to get that porcelain sets of money, Zhuang Rui looked at the people who entered the room, almost did not dare to recognize.

The last time I saw Lao Zhao, to Zhuang Rui’s feeling is a very elegant middle-aged man, but the one who appeared in front of him, is a pair of pudgy, woeful appearance.
