Chapter 0786 – Loser (I)

“Oh? Tell me about it ……”

For this Mr. Xu, Zhuang Rui is full of curiosity, that left the “Xu” word antique Tang Sancai, is the only Zhuang Rui can not pick faults of antique fakes, if not the word inside, Zhuang Rui also dare not rashly break it, and can only use the carbon fourteen detection method to break its authenticity.

“Mr. Zhuang, you would never guess, this guy surnamed Xu, is a loser.”

Li Dali smiled, then said: “Mr. Zhuang you find this person, called Xu Guoqing, this year forty years old, ancestry is Hebei Handan Maguxian people, the mid-sixties, just born Xu Guoqing, followed his parents to Shijiazhuang Gaoyi County to settle. In the eighties, our country began to encourage private entrepreneurship, Xu Guoqing’s father had a hand in firing ceramics, so he opened a ceramics factory, by the end of the eighties, became Shijiazhuang near and far famous ten million dollar household.”

“Xu Guoqing’s father died in 1990 due to illness, the factory was also handed over to Xu Guoqing. Just this person is not doing anything serious, one does not go out to run the business, two do not care about the production of the factory, just took over the factory, built a research institute, fiddling with ancient porcelain all day inside. According to this study of ancient porcelain is nothing, but Xu Guoqing this person is different, he actually spent a lot of money from abroad to buy back a number of Tang Sancai objects, all to knock off, this is a lot of people know, have become a joke. In the eighties, private enterprises are relatively small, Xu Guoqing’s factory is not much competition with him, so business is very good, but this person does not know how to maintain relationships, to the nineties, a variety of private factories emerging, his ceramics factory, soon eliminated. This is not, only more than ten years of work, Xu Guoqing will be the family business is almost destroyed, that factory is also in name only, Mr. Zhuang, you say this person is not a loser?”

“Oh, this person is a bit interesting ……”

Zhuang Rui smiled and shook his head, from Xu Guoqing burned these Tang three-color, Zhuang Rui can see his superior skills, can also understand what he knocked the authentic three-color porcelain for, but Li Dali described is also right, this person is really a real loser.

You know, in the eighties, if you can sit on the tens of millions of dollars, that is a great thing, than now the gold content of billionaires are much higher.

The current richest man in Taiwan, Mr. Kuo, who is said to be worth tens of billions of dollars, was only worth a million dollars at the end of the 1980s, with less than a hundred employees under his command! If Xu Guoqing a little bit of business acumen, not to say that now become a billionaire, but at least can occupy a place in the ceramics industry, Li Dali gave him that “loser” three words of evaluation, is not wrong.

However, this person also let Zhuang Rui more curious, put tens of millions of business not to take care of, specifically to do fake Tang Sancai, Zhuang Rui also can not figure out what this person in the end the idea, to say that he fake selling fake, that will not lose even the factory to close down ah?

“By the way, Mr. Zhuang, originally I was about this buddy to go to Beijing and meet with you, but he is preparing to sell the factory, a moment can not go, so only to labor you to run this trip.”

Li Dali suddenly remembered this, hastily explained to Zhuang Rui, Xu Guoqing in the heart of Mr. Li, but even Zhuang Rui’s a little finger can not be compared to, according to the reasoning that he did not call him to Beijing to see Zhuang Rui, this matter has been self-defeating.

Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand and said, “It’s not so-called, anyway, it’s not far away, it’s good to go there to see.”

Zhuang Rui also want to see, this Xu master is in what kind of environment, can imitate even many experts can not see the flaws of the Tang Three-colored vessels?

To know, imitation of ancient ceramics, not only firing process is also completely in accordance with the process of ancient ceramics, but also must have the ancient firing formula, that is, in the material as well as the firing temperature on the fire, but also to be not the slightest difference, and sometimes more than one degree or less than one degree, will let a kiln of porcelain foregone.

Like the recent excavation of the ancient kiln site, often unearthed a large number of broken ceramics, those things are not that intact porcelain after so many years of broken, but after the firing out of the kiln workers to break down.

Ancient to the royal firing ceramic utensils, that is extremely careful, slightly flawed, must be broken and discarded, sometimes more than ten kilns may not be able to produce a fine product, so the site that is full of fragments, are from this.

Tang Dynasty has been more than a thousand years ago, the Tang Three-color firing recipe has long been extinguished in the river of history, Zhuang Rui heart wondered, Xu Guoqing exactly how to restore this process?

Shijiazhuang City is located in the hinterland of the North China Plain, is the third level of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan circle core city, the country’s important pharmaceutical and textile industry center city, one of the important modern service industry and bio-industry base, North China’s important commercial port.

After more than three hours of high speed, Zhuang Rui and others came to the boundary of Shijiazhuang, but there are still more than fifty kilometers away from Gaoyi County, Li Dali would have liked to entertain Zhuang Rui in Shijiazhuang, but was rejected by Zhuang Rui, and drove directly to the Gaoyi.

At almost 12 o’clock at noon, the two cars drove out of the Beijing-Shenzhen highway before and after, at the highway intersection, there was a car waiting there, Li Dali and Peng Fei greeted him and signaled him to stop the car.

“Old Yu, you didn’t do things properly this time!”

After Li Dali got out of the car, he punched the shoulder of a middle-aged man who came down from that car.

That person bitterly suffered Li vigorously a punch, frowned and said, “Hey, Li boss, I am also entrusted by a friend, there is really no way, come on, today you came, I host, let’s go to dinner first, there are things to talk about in the afternoon.”

“Well, today there is an honored guest, old Yu, that thing even if, but this guest to entertain bad words, we this more than ten years of friendship is gone ah!”

Li Dali himself is to fish the side door, he operates the black market auction is also can not see the stage, for this matter is also accustomed to, and did not blame the old Yu let him help out the meaning of the forgeries.

“Aigoo, Mr. Li, Brother Li, just put your heart in your stomach! Came to my place, drink not good that can not go, I give you say, turn back but arranged a number of young girls accompanied by drinking ah! You can do anything you want.” Old Yu saw Li vigorously not angry, face suddenly smiled, but that expression looks very lewd.

Old Yu and Li vigorously know more than ten years, know that he likes this tune, yesterday contacted several nightclubs, looking for a few good young ladies to, ready to today to serve Mr. Li comfortably.

“What?”

When Li Dali heard this, he was so scared that he almost didn’t jump up, he quickly lowered his voice and said, “Hurry up and call to withdraw, don’t do these things.”

After Li Dali went to Beijing City, especially after spending a few days in the clubhouse in the outskirts of the capital, he couldn’t see much of the rouge and vulgarity of these small places.

According to Mr. Li’s idea, just based on Zhuang Rui’s performance in that clubhouse, it’s not like he can play with whichever star he wants to play with, ah?

“Don’t want it? I paid all the money!”

Old Yu heard Li Dali’s words, suddenly froze for a moment, this old buddy usually like this, big city crackdown, but also often run their own to find fun, today how so abnormal ah?

Besides, the old Yu called eight ladies today, each 1000 dollars have paid, not that what is also too bad point.

“The one sitting in the car, play can be a big star, do not see these, do not make a mistake. Well, this evening I do not go, arrange the night!”

Mr. Li is not a good bird, after hearing Old Yu’s words, he immediately changed his mind and arranged the important work of accompanying the lady to the night.

“Alright, drive and lead the way! Let those ladies withdraw, remember, turn around and don’t persuade them to drink ah! That person is not on the same level as us.” Li Dali focused on explaining a few more sentences to Lao Yu.

To know, in the north came to eat with friends, do not drink is not, and a drink quasi-drinking, not to get you drunk that do not want to be hospitable, Li Li vigorously this is afraid that the old Yu turn back to speak without weight, provoke Zhuang Rui angry.

“I understand, Mr. Li, you can rest assured!”

Old Yu saw Li vigorously even a few words, are explaining the importance of the car, can not help but also serious, eyes to Zhuang Rui that Audi car glanced, see Zhuang Rui did not get off to greet the intention, turned his head to get into his own car.

Li Dali back to Zhuang Rui’s car, said: “Mr. Zhuang, that Xu Guoqing’s factory is not far from the county, let’s go to dinner first! It’s all the way to meal time.”

“Cheng, Mr. Li, you arrange it! Just be able to see Xu Guoqing in the afternoon.”

Zhuang Rui nodded his head and agreed, in the morning he drank some porridge, this is also a little hungry, a few cars drove into the county town of Gaoyi, in front of a hotel that seems to be a little bit of class stopped.

“Old Yu, this is Mr. Zhuang from Beijing, Mr. Zhuang, this is my old friend Yu Zhengjun, this time the goods also flow out from his hands.”

After getting out of the car, Li Dali introduced the two to each other, Yu Zhengjun is also an extremely colorful person, and after a few polite words with Zhuang Rui, he led the people to a private room inside the hotel.

“Mr. Zhuang, these are our Hebei’s specialties, Shijiazhuang’s steak chicken, Ma’s old chicken store brined chicken, Bohai Sea prawns, Qinhuangdao sea crabs, steam pot game eight immortals, come on, Mr. Zhuang, taste the taste?”

Yu Zhengjun has long ordered the dishes, there should have been a few ladies on the table to help, but now they are withdrawn, the old Yu remembered Li Li’s words, and did not dare to persuade the wine.

The dishes on the table are good, especially that steam pot game eight immortals, lift the lid of the steam pot, when the room was full of fragrance, a room full of people are smelling the mouth.

“This dish is good, Boss Yu has a heart.”

Zhuang Rui didn’t know about the sordid affair between Old Yu and Li Dali, he clamped his chopsticks on the Wild Taste Eight Immortals, and immediately ate it with full of praises.

“Oh, Boss Zhuang eat more, this store is called the Eight Immortals Pavilion, it’s old, the main ingredients of this dish are roe deer meat, mountain chicken breast, mountain rabbit, ground goat, Shafeng chicken, asparagus, mushrooms, green peppers, these ingredients are put into a steamer to steam out, this dish is the owner’s personal chef to come out of the whole thing.”

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Lao Yu hurriedly spoke out to introduce the dishes on the table to Zhuang Rui, in addition to not drinking wine, a meal was eaten by both guests and hosts.
