Just when the film "Young and Dangerous" was premiering, as the producer and male lead of the film, Chen Xiaotang rushed to Helihuo Road to buy New Year's gifts, and then went to Shao's mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

In the entertainment industry, connections are very important. You must know how to eat brains, especially during the Chinese New Year and holidays, which are some active connections. Especially in places like Hong Kong where there are diverse cultures and complex connections, if you are not careful, someone will give you some shoes. Therefore, it is important to have backbone in life, but it is necessary to polish shoes and take photos of Matt.

Xiang~Holly Huo Road, commonly known as Antique Street, is a gathering place for antique shops in the entire Xiang~Hong Kong. In the area from Central to Sheung Wan, Moro Shang Street, which is connected to Holy Huo Road, is also part of the Antique Street.

When he arrived at the door of a shop with a "century-old brand" hanging, Chen Xiaotang walked in.

The store is not too big, but it is full of things like a grocery store. Large items are like vases, plaques, and even terracotta figurines, small pots and pans, pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings.

In the store, the antique businessman was bragging to customers about how authentic the things they sold were, which made the young man and woman stunned.

Seeing the guy spitting out the star, Chen Xiaotang suddenly remembered a story, and the corner of his mouth moved and couldn't help but smile.

It is said that there is an antique shop who recruited salesmen. The advertisement was played for more than a month, and there were many people applying for the job, but none of them applied for the job.

Two young men came that day, one of them arrived for more than five minutes. When they entered the store online, the boss picked up a small piece of wood chips from the ground, put it on a red silk mat, and asked the young man, "What is this?"

The young man was stunned for a moment and replied, "It's a broken wood chip."

The boss shook his head, threw the wood chips from the red silk mat back to the ground, and said, "Young man. You are not admitted."

The young man was a little puzzled, but others were the boss, and he had no choice. Just as he was about to leave, another applicant came in outside, and he stopped and wanted to see how the person answered.

Sure enough, the boss still picked up the wood chips thrown on the ground and put them carefully on the red silk mat. He asked the young man who had just entered the door, "Can you tell me what this is?"

The young man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he smiled and said, "This is the toothpick that Empress Dowager Cixi used to use."

"Great, you can start working now." The boss was overjoyed and immediately decided to hire the young man later, and the previous one left in disappointment.

The clerk who was blowing water at this moment looked like the one in the joke, and his kung fu was all about his words.

Just as Chen Xiaotang was laughing, a voice was interrupted behind her, "My guy is a bit weird, but it's not that funny, right?"

Chen Xiaotang was stunned, but turned around and saw a fat old man wearing a Tang suit with a gold necklace hanging around his neck, a gold pocket watch, and was looking at him curiously.

"You, you..." The fat old man said three of you in a row. Then he said: "Are you that big star Chen Xiaotang?"

Chen Xiaotang didn't expect that this fat old man had a rather vicious look and could be recognized by himself because he was so "free" and he nodded with a smile.

The fat old man was happy. Although his antique store was prosperous, he had received many high-ranking customers from all over the country. However, there were not many big stars like Chen Xiaotang; it was not that the fat old man was very excited about Chen Xiaotang, and he was not a fan of Chen Xiaotang. It was because of Chen Xiaotang's advertising value. Just imagine, if it was spread and the big star Chen Xiaotang was also shopping here, then the business of his store would not be popular?

The fat old man was a very businessman. When he thought of this, he immediately welcomed Chen Xiaotang enthusiastically and asked him what items he wanted to buy? He had everything from the Qing Dynasty snuff bottles to the large size of the red sandalwood screens.

Chen Xiaotang was embarrassed by the enthusiasm of the fat old man and said that he wanted to buy something suitable for the elderly, preferably a real antique.

Why did Chen Xiaotang focus on "real antiques"? Because he knew that no matter which antique shop it was, he would place some fakes, use inferior products as good ones to slaughter the sheep. Just like this shop, known as a "century-old brand", there were a few high-imitation porcelains on the counter on the storefront. If you don't think about it carefully, even experts may mislead it. Although these pieces are high-imitation, the cost is worth 8,000 yuan. The fat boss found someone to fire at a high price. They used ancient craftsmanship and formulas, and their shapes and glaze colors were almost real.

The reason why these high-quality imitations is mainly designed for tourists who like art, or wealthy bosses. Think about placing such an elegant, simple, exquisite, gorgeous, and wonderful ceramic in the office. That can also show the owner's identity and taste.

But since Chen Xiaotang has already said it, don’t give him any fakes, the fat boss is calculating in his mind. After all, the other party is a celebrity, not to mention that he is so popular recently, especially yesterday’s movie “Young and Dangerous” was very popular... He also wanted to use his celebrity effect to promote himself, so how could he ruin his signature?!

Thinking of this, the fat boss turned his eyes and said, "I have it, wait a moment, then bring a ladder and touch it above the store."

Chen Xiaotang was stunned. This shop really knows how to use space, and even it is filled with things.

After a moment, the fat boss took down a big red box and opened it and said, "Look at this big blue and white bowl?"

Chen Xiaotang took it and checked it carefully, but from his perspective, this big bowl is almost the same as the sea bowl used to serve soup at home. The one at home is also decorated with blue and white patterns, which looks clearer and more beautiful than the pattern on his hand.

If the fat boss knew Chen Xiaotang's thoughts at this moment, he would definitely vomit blood. This Kangxi blue and white bowl is a real antique, and ordinary people would not take it out easily. It can be said that although this object seems average, it is also valuable.

However, it was really a bit difficult for Chen Xiaotang to identify the objects. He is not an expert in this field. You just use Yuan blue and white porcelain to see it as an ordinary job.

Blue and white porcelain, also known as white ground blue and white porcelain, is often referred to as blue and white porcelain, and is one of the mainstream varieties of Chinese porcelain. Primitive blue and white porcelain has been revealed in the Tang and Song Dynasties, while mature blue and white porcelain appeared in Hutian Kiln in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty. Blue and white porcelain uses fluoride-containing drills as raw materials to depict patterns on the ceramic body. A layer of transparent glaze is covered and fired at one time by high-temperature reduction flame.

This is a large blue and white bowl with the mouth of the bowl being turned outward. Below is a ring foot, with a fine body texture and thin body wall. The color glaze of the whole bowl is white. Chen Xiaotang looked carefully, but couldn't see any of them.

The fat boss seemed to know that he was pretending to be watching, and thought to himself, if it weren't for the sake of being a star, I would like to ask you to help me promote it for free and not take a fake to kill you. I'm simply sorry for my ancestors.

So the fat boss enthusiastically pointed to the picture album on the big bowl and said, "See, the picture of the Xiyuan Elegant Collection on the outer wall of this bowl is a picture of the Xiyuan Elegant Collection... The picture of the Ximu Elegant Collection describes the gathering scene of the old literati named Wang Jinqing who wrote poems, paintings, talks about Zen, and discusses Taoism at the banquet of the Xiyuan Garden. Mi Yuanzhang's "Picture Records of the Xiyuan Elegant Collection" records this grand event. Since then, the theme of "Picture Collection on the Xiyuan Elegant Collection" by literati painters of all ages has been popular, and thus has become a classic theme of fan or porcelain painting. In the painting on the outer wall of this blue and white bowl, some of the scenes are excerpted, and you can see. It can definitely be called a skillful brushwork, a quiet blue and white, and a high-end painting..."

The fat boss said with great enthusiasm and spitting everywhere, but Chen Xiaotang was blocked with ear plugs and finally said: "Ahem, I don't understand these... I don't understand!"

OK. I directly admitted that I knew nothing about antiques.

The fat boss couldn't help but secretly admire him. He heard that those big stars like to take face, but this one in front of him is actually... shameless, it's rare!!!

The fat boss was very happy about Chen Xiaotang's frankness. He has run an antique shop for many years. He has always met customers who don't know how to understand, or they just put on the pig's nostrils - pretending to be elephant! People with an identity like Chen Xiaotang can say that they don't understand, which is really rare.

Seeing the fat boss looking at him with a weird look, Chen Xiaotang had to cough again, "Is there anything else? This bowl looks really a bit..."

The fat boss is angry and is most afraid of two kinds of people when doing antique business. One is that he is extremely proficient. No matter how you fool him, he will remain unmoved. The other is like a whiteboard like Chen Xiaotang, who knows nothing, and he doesn't take whatever you say seriously.

"Okay! I appreciate you being so straightforward! I'm giving you a good thing to see!" The fat boss said, and began to climb up and down again, and took out a purple clay teapot from above.

"No, this is a good thing, an authentic Qing Dynasty purple clay teapot! Making tea to prolong life, it is absolutely great!" The fat boss already knew that Chen Xiaotang was a white board, so he had to talk nonsense to him, so he directly told the function of this teapot.

Sure enough, Chen Xiaotang's eyes lit up, "This seems to be good..."

"It's not just good, it's really good!" Suddenly, a heavy male voice came from the door.

Chen Xiaotang looked back and saw a middle-aged man with a national face and a beard with a beard on his back, smiling at the purple clay teapot in his hand.

The man is extraordinary, especially his beard, which has a tycoon-like look.

"If I guess well, this should be the 'Yunlong Pot' made by Zhu Kexin. Young Master, please see if there is his withdrawal from the bottom of the pot?"

Chen Xiaotang turned the teapot over and saw that there was indeed such words written in seal script behind it.

The imposing middle-aged man then smiled and said, "This Zhu Kexin is a famous purple clay artist, a flower master, and a master of his generation. His early work "Bamboo Cauldron" was even collected by Song Meiling. His work "Yunlong Pot" is the best among purple clay tea sets. Look at the body of this "Yunlong Pot" decorated with summer clouds, which is endless and changing. The aura and charm are vivid. Although it is not an old antique, it is also a treasure!"

The middle-aged man talked about the origin of this purple clay teapot, which shows that he was knowledgeable and had a deep understanding of this area. Even the fat boss couldn't help but admire it. It was not easy to see that this was a treasure. It would be even more amazing to be able to say its origin and characteristics in such detail.

For some reason, Chen Xiaotang admired the middle-aged man and felt a little respect. Perhaps it was because of the person's unanimous and arrogant demeanor.

"Haha, I didn't expect this gentleman to tell the origin of this teapot clearly. Since this is the case, I wonder if the gentleman intends to buy it?" The fat boss couldn't help but peddle him when he saw someone who knew the goods.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "A gentleman does not take away what others love. Since this little brother has fallen in love with me, I will be a beauty of adulthood!"

"This..." The fat man shut up and looked at Chen Xiaotang.

Chen Xiaotang smiled: "How much is it? I bought it!"

The fat boss was then happy, "The price is easy to say, as long as you help me promote more in the future! Haha!"

Finally, the price was negotiated, and Chen Xiaotang took the purple clay teapot for 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. Before leaving, Chen Xiaotang did not forget to express his gratitude to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said nothing, just a slight jaw.

Shortly after Chen Xiaotang left, the middle-aged man looked around casually but had no one to like. He had to leave the store.

Not far away, a not-so-obscene Bentley was parked.

Seeing the middle-aged man coming, the driver of the Bentley car hurriedly drove out of the car and said respectfully: "Hello, Master!"

The middle-aged man went straight into the driveway: "Let's go, go back!"

"Why, I haven't bought anything I like?" The old driver is also the person's confidant. He knows that the master usually likes to buy antiques and other things, so he often comes around. In his words, it is called "picking up bargains".

"I fell in love with a purple clay teapot, but unfortunately I was bought first."

The old driver started the car and said with a smile: "With your financial resources, why not buy it again?"

"Haha, I, Qiao Jingyao, have always been principled in life and work, and will never use my power to suppress others." The middle-aged man himself came from a poor family. When he was young, he was barefoot in order to start a business. He carried floor tiles on his back and went door to door to promote. It can be said that he suffered a lot and also honed his strong will. It is precisely with this spirit of hard work that he started from scratch and created a huge family business. Of course, some people say that the reason why Qiao Jingyao was able to rank among the top ten invisible wealthy people in Hong Kong was because of his deceased father-in-law, film tycoon Lu Yuntao.

But in fact, only Qiao Jingyao himself knew that he relied on strength and a little luck. When he was doing the tiles and flooring business, it happened to be when Hong Kong real estate recovered. After borrowing, his business became bigger and bigger. Therefore, Qiao Jingyao believed in one sentence, that is: the times create heroes!

Rearing in the car, the tycoon Qiao Jingyao closed his eyes slightly, as if he was calm, but in fact he had another headache in his heart, that is, his daughter Qiao Anqi.

Because his wife died early, Qiao Jingyao was extremely spoiled for this precious daughter. In addition, he was very busy with work and neglected to discipline, which made this girl not have the demeanor of a lady. Instead, she liked to race and dance and sing with friends, which gave Qiao Jingyao a headache.

As the saying goes, there are nobility in three generations.

Qiao Jingyao is a grassroots person. Although he is very outstanding, his blood is still filled with the blood of the poor. So he hopes that his baby daughter can surpass him and become a real master. It’s a pity that this girl did not inherit the noble elegance of her mother, but she looks very much like herself.

Shaking his head, Qiao Jingyao took out a cigar to light it, and took a leisurely sip. The last time the Xiang brothers in Hong Kong wanted to acquire the Cathay Cinema in their hands, but this theater was the legacy left to him by his wife's family, which was very memorable. Qiao Jingyao was not short of money, so he naturally did not agree to sell it. The Xiang brothers flew to Spain and almost kidnapped his daughter. Humph, these damn Taoist guys, if it weren't for their precious daughter's safety in the end, Qiao Jingyao wouldn't have let the Xiang family go easily!

Are you very bad?

This is Hong Kong, the most powerful money!!

Qiao Jingyao is enough to believe that with his own strength, he will never be afraid of turning against Xin Yian.

In the end, Xiang Xiaqiang, among the Xiang brothers, came to the door to apologize, which made Qiao Jingyao feel angry. Later, Qiao Jingyao was afraid that his baby daughter would be in danger alone in Spain, so he tricked her back to Hong Kong. He originally thought that she would be more honest when she returned to Hong Kong, but he heard that she was fascinated by a male star and was fascinated all day long, which made Qiao Jingyao very angry. In the end, he directly sent someone to study in the UK.

It would be better for girls to read more books. I used to be so poor that I wanted to go to school but couldn't. That was a pity.

As for those who are celebrities, what do you like? Since ancient times, bitches are ruthless and actors are unrighteous. That male star also likes his baby daughter. Just like those female stars want to marry into a wealthy family, wouldn’t those male stars also hope to marry a lady from a famous family in exchange for long-term meal tickets?!

Qiao Jingyao has always despised such a man.

Men have to create everything with their own hands!

Speaking of those stars, the young man who looked pretty good just now seemed to be an actor...

Recently, my daughter called back from the UK and said she would come back to see her father during the Chinese New Year. Qiao Jingyao especially didn't know what she was thinking about. But he really missed her daughter and exiled Qiao Anqi to the UK alone. Qiao Jingyao was also worried. After the Chinese New Year, if you want to come back, come back. As long as you are honest after you come back, don't cause trouble everywhere, be a lady, then everything is OK. Of course, the most important thing is that you can't see that star again.

In fact, it is not that Qiao Jingyao has prejudice against celebrities in the entertainment industry. However, as he started his business, he looked down on men and women who could make money by twisting their butts and get millions of dollars in a movie.

Qiao Jingyao rubbed his temples, but stopped thinking because for him, the men and women in the entertainment industry were too messy and he disdained to pay attention to them.

Putting aside all worries, after all, my daughter is coming back, so I should be happy, right?! (To be continued) rq!~!
