Chapter 144 Don't Give Japan. I Appreciate Treasures (Part 2)
Chapter 144: Don’t give me a treasure appraisal
Chapter 144: Don’t give me a treasure appraisal
"Everyone, please be patient!" Seeing that everyone was extremely excited, Boss Zhao was extremely anxious and said loudly, "Although this piece of porcelain belongs to my friend now, he didn't know it would be like this! If we had known it earlier
It's a 'Zhu imitation', so how can I show it to everyone?! I told you early in the morning that my friend just received these items not long ago. He is a little worried, so I want to ask for your help.
Who would have known that the first thing he saw was a good thing! Hey, thanks to Brother He this time, his eyesight is extraordinary and he could see the problem at a glance!"
As he said that, he turned around to face He Qing and clapped his hands vigorously. Immediately, many people also applauded non-stop. For a while, the applause in the hall was like thunder, which lasted for a long time.
He Qing smiled, waved to everyone, and said loudly: "Don't be so polite! Boss Zhao, thank you. I just looked more carefully than you."
"Brother He, you are too modest!" Boss Zhao quickly shook his head and said, "If you hadn't pointed it out, we would have been deceived! This is 'Zhu Fang', what a harmful thing! I'll tell you the truth.
, my friend spent more than 40 million to buy this porcelain bowl, and now it is considered a fake. I don’t know how hard he will be hit!”
He Qing asked casually: "Then where did your friend get this thing from? Was it purchased through an auction company, or was it purchased directly from a private owner?"
Boss Zhao replied: "It was purchased from a private person. That person is from our Antique Street. He has been doing business here. I have always trusted him. I didn't expect that he would also have this item in his hand."
Planting things is so disappointing!”
"Oh, that's it!" He Qing nodded, as if he suddenly understood, but no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
Suddenly, the entire venue was filled with praises. Of course, those voices were directed at He Qing. Everyone present felt inferior to him for his courage and vision. Of course, they were more impressed.
In less than a few minutes, everyone's attitude toward He Qing made a 180-degree turn. The previous cynicism was gone, replaced by admiration. They all thought that he had such a talent at such a young age.
Once you achieve something, your future will be limitless.
"Boss Zhao, since that pastel celestial sphere bottle is now identified as 'Zhu Fang', we must give an explanation!" Suddenly, a high-pitched voice in the crowd said, "I don't know how many of us there are.
We have been harmed by 'Zhu Fake' before, and now we have found a piece of 'Zhu Fake', and we absolutely cannot allow it to be leaked out to harm others again!"
"Boss Xiao is right! 'Zhu Fang' is too harmful and must be destroyed! It must be smashed in front of us! Smash it!" Another person raised his arms and shouted.
"Smash 'Zhu Fang'! Smash 'Zhu Fang'!"
Soon someone responded, and shouts of smashing "Zhu Fang" started one after another.
Boss Zhao, who was standing on the stage, turned red. He was nervous and anxious and said: "Everyone, please don't get excited! I feel the same as everyone else. I also hate 'Zhu Fang' very much."
, because 'Zhu Fang' almost killed one of my teachers! My friend and I had calculated everything, but we definitely didn't figure it out! Originally, we were very confident and thought that this first exhibit was undoubtedly authentic, but we couldn't.
We still miscalculated! Is the thing a fake or an 'imitation'? We are also very sad and want to destroy this thing on the spot! But please think about it from my friend's point of view, this thing is his flower.
If he bought tens of millions of dollars and just smashed it, he would be the only one who would suffer the loss, but the dealer who sold the fake goods would have no losses at all. When the time comes, I’m afraid I won’t have any real evidence to argue with him! So!
, I would like to assure you here that I will definitely give you an explanation, but before that we have to get the money back!"
"Smash it! Smash it!"
Although Boss Zhao begged everyone to calm down, everyone probably didn't listen to him because they were too excited. They just kept shouting and wanted to destroy the "Zhu Fang" to prevent it from flowing out in front of them.
Harm others again.
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits and could not be persuaded, Boss Zhao, who was afraid that the situation would get out of control, could not help but frown deeply.
This scene was something they had never imagined before holding the firm exchange meeting. Even if they suspected that the item was "Zhu imitation", they would not take it out because they knew very well that "Zhu imitation" was too terrible and would cause misfortune.
How many people have been killed, some even lost their fortunes and their families were destroyed because of it.
"Dear friends, please be patient!" Just at this moment, someone stood up and spoke for Boss Zhao. This person was none other than He Qing who was standing on the stage. I heard him say solemnly, "Zhao
The boss is right. After all, people bought the stuff at a high price. If we destroy it like this, wouldn’t that be exactly what the culprit wants?! The person who should be punished is the person who deliberately sold the 'Zhu Fake'
, even if you want to smash it, you have to return it to the person before smashing it! So don’t be so excited, I believe Boss Zhao and his friends will give us an explanation!"
"Brother He is right!"
He Qing's words had a great effect. As soon as he said his plea for Boss Zhao, someone in the audience recognized it.
Immediately afterwards, countless voices of agreement came out, and they all felt that He Qing was right, not to act on impulse, this matter must be traced to the source, to find out the culprit, and to cause trouble for him.
"Huh..." Seeing that He Qing's words changed everyone's minds, Boss Zhao standing aside took a long breath.
He finally felt relieved, then he turned around and held He Qing's hand, expressing his gratitude repeatedly: "Brother He, thank you so much! Now you are the one everyone trusts the most!"
"Boss Zhao, don't be polite, I'm just being fair." He Qing shook his head with a smile, "Boss Zhao, I advise you to find the original owner of that big bottle as soon as possible, so as not to let the news leak and the other party escape."
"Well, you're right!" Boss Zhao nodded heavily and agreed, "I have to call my friend here immediately to discuss how to deal with this matter! Brother He, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation.
Yes, that celestial sphere bottle is 'Zhu Fang', and I won't let that boss go even if I don't tell you, 'Zhu Fang' must be destroyed!"
"With your words, what else can I say? Everyone is waiting for your reply." He Qing nodded.
After saying that, he said goodbye to Boss Zhao, turned around and walked away.
When he came off the stage, many people came and stretched out their hands to shake hands with him and say hello. Most of them were meeting him for the first time, so they were still strangers.
Just now, when He Qing said that the exquisite pastel celestial sphere vase was "Zhu imitation", everyone disagreed. They just thought that he, a young boy with no experience, could see any tricks, but
In the blink of an eye, he made an astonishing move and directly pointed out the flaw in the piece of porcelain. The evidence was so solid that no one could doubt it.
As the saying goes, "If you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster." Everyone looked at him with admiration!
He Qing politely thanked everyone for their warm greetings. After greeting everyone, he said goodbye and left the lobby. Then he walked straight out of the hotel and took a taxi to rent an apartment.
"Old Tang, that boy named He is simply not a human being!"
Not long after He Qing walked out of the hotel, there were two people in a private room upstairs leaning against the window, staring at his back, and discussing something in a low voice.
Those two people were Liu Heng and Boss Tang who had a feud with He Qing.
Just listen to Boss Tang saying in a deep voice: "We have already realized how powerful he is! He is really formidable! Brother He is indeed a ruthless character. You can go against anyone, but you must not go against him!"
"
"Old Tang, I just can't figure it out! How could he recognize 'Zhu Fang' when he is still so young?! Did he learn it from others or by himself?! Even from elementary school, he only learned it for two years.
More than ten years, right?! And many of us have been studying for forty or fifty years, or even a lifetime, but there are still many people who are helpless about 'Zhu Fang'! And he judged it accurately just at a glance! This
It’s simply not something ordinary people can do!” Liu Heng gasped and said.
"How do I know this?! I heard that he is just an ordinary person who has just entered the industry not long ago!" Boss Tang said with a sigh, "Brother He is really unpredictable! Third Master indirectly fell into his hands this time
I don’t know what method Third Master will use to deal with him!"
"Well, Third Master will definitely not let him go!" Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said angrily, "That kind of person deserves to die!"
"Brother He is a talented person. Talents like that are rare!" Boss Tang said, "I think the third master may try to recruit him, but he and Deng Yingchang are in the same group. I'm afraid the third master may not be able to recruit him.
Simple!"
"What?!" Hearing what Boss Tang said, Liu Heng suddenly widened his eyes and said with a look of disbelief on his face, "Do you think it's possible for the Third Master to entertain him well?!"
"Well, it's very possible! The third master is in short supply of this kind of talent. If he gets the help of a wizard like He Laodi, he will be even more powerful!" Boss Tang replied solemnly.
"..." Liu Heng was suddenly speechless, with a look of disappointment on his face.
…………
After leaving the hotel by car, it didn't take long for He Qing to return to the rental house.
"Dad, Mom, I have great news for you." As soon as he saw his parents, He Qing said happily, "I have raised all the money very quickly, and we will be able to move into a new house soon! Mom, you guys will live there tomorrow.
Or go to the furniture market sometime, take a look at some furniture, then take down the house and just buy it and use it!"
"Oh, really?! That's great!" Hearing He Qing's words, He's mother smiled from ear to ear and said, "Okay, let's go take a look tomorrow and the house will be settled.
"
He Qing said confidently: "Move into the new house within a month at the latest!"
This matter is basically finalized, because Mr. Zheng has already appraised the painting he plans to sell for him, and the minimum estimate is 50 million. Now he is waiting for Mr. Zheng to help him contact a suitable buyer.
Mr. Zheng is trying his best to help, so there will be no problem. The other party is a most reliable person. Maybe there will be some good news tomorrow.
That night, when He Qing was preparing to take a rest after reading a book, he suddenly received a call. The call was actually from Boss Zhao. He heard the other party on the other end of the phone laughing and saying: "Brother He, I didn't disturb your rest."
Bar?"
He Qing said: "No, but I am getting ready to take a rest. Boss Zhao, do you have anything else to do?"
Boss Zhao said: "It's nothing serious, I just want to treat you to a meal tomorrow."
"Boss Zhao, don't be so polite. Didn't you already invite me tonight?" He Qing replied.
Boss Zhao said hurriedly: "My friend wants to treat you to a meal tomorrow. He wants to thank you personally and wants to make you a friend. I wonder when you will be free tomorrow?"
"Don't thank him, just tell him to be polite." He Qing said, "Oh, by the way, how is your friend's porcelain case handled now? Does the boss who sold the porcelain acknowledge his debt?"
Boss Zhao sighed and replied: "Hey, this matter is difficult to handle! That boss is indeed a liar! Before we went to find him, he had already absconded with the money! I don't know where he went. I'm afraid
I can’t find it even if I look for it!”
"No way?!" He Qing was surprised, "He ran away before you even went to find him?!"
"Yes!" Boss Zhao said, "We find it very strange that that person ran away tonight! Before that, he had been keeping in contact with my friend normally, and the relationship between the two parties was not bad. Who knows if you identify it?
It turned out that the celestial sphere bottle he sold was a fake, so he ran away! Logically speaking, he would not have run away in such a timely manner. This matter is very strange, as if he knew the result!"
He Qing smiled meaningfully and said: "This thing is strange, but it is not strange at all. Boss Zhao, think about it carefully, is it possible that one of us informed that person in advance?"
"You mean there is a spy among us?! He provided information to that liar?!" Boss Zhao was surprised, "No way? How could there be such a person?"
He Qing said: "How is it impossible? Boss Zhao, you have been deceived! Maybe one of the people you invited to the banquet tonight is the same as the liar! Let me give you some suggestions, you can go here
I'm going to check it out, just to see who the liar has the best relationship with and has the closest contact with on a daily basis!"
"Boss Tang?! Boss Liu?!" As soon as He Qing made the suggestion, Boss Zhao reported the names of two people, one was Boss Tang from "Tang Mingyuan" and the other was Boss Liu from "Hengbao Pavilion".
Constant.
Those two people were closely related to Mr. Qi, and were potential enemies of He Qing and Lin Haitao. When he heard Boss Zhao mention those two people, He Qing could not help but frown slightly. He seemed to want to
After understanding something, he still said calmly: "I'm new here and I don't know much about Boss Tang and Boss Liu. It's up to you to find out this yourself."
"Well, of course." Boss Zhao quickly responded, "Brother He, I'd like you to give me a favor tomorrow. My friend really wants to meet you!"
Seeing that the other party was so sincere, He Qing couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed and said, "Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey. I have time tomorrow morning, so let's meet in the morning and get to know each other."
In fact, Boss Zhao introduced him to a friend in the industry, and he was so happy that it was too late. Although he knew nothing about Boss Zhao's mysterious friend, he knew clearly without thinking that the other party was a big collector, otherwise he would be out of luck.
He couldn't afford such a big deal, and tens of millions were just wasted. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and he still had the leisure to make friends. You can imagine how wealthy he was.
After chatting with Boss Zhao for a while, He Qing said goodbye and hung up the phone.
In fact, not long after he got up the next day, he received a call from Boss Zhao, who sincerely invited him to go to the big hotel yesterday. He did not refuse, but readily agreed.
So he rushed straight to the place agreed upon with Boss Zhao and the others, and it didn't take long for him to reach his destination.
"Brother He, are you here?!"
As soon as He Qing got out of the car, he heard a familiar greeting from the front right. He immediately turned his head and looked subconsciously. The person who caught his eye was naturally Boss Zhao, who was waiting for him.
"Boss Zhao!" He Qing waved to Boss Zhao, and then walked up to him.
"Welcome!" Boss Zhao held He Qing's hand excitedly and said enthusiastically, "Brother He, please go upstairs, my friend is waiting for you."
"Well, okay." He Qing nodded.
Then he followed Boss Zhao into the hotel door and went upstairs into an elegant box.
When he walked in, He Qing glanced around and saw three or four people in the box. A middle-aged man was sitting there, and the other two people were standing on either side of him with their hands down respectfully, like bodyguards.
figure.
"Hey brother, a warm welcome!"
When He Qing approached with Boss Zhao, the middle-aged man stood up and nodded politely to He Qing.
The man looked to be in his fifties, wearing a crisp black suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was well-dressed, and the most eye-catching thing was his mustache.
From He Qing's point of view, I don't know why, but it always feels so awkward.
"Hello." He Qing politely extended his hand to the man.
"Hello. Nice to meet you." The man shook hands with him and said with a smile, "I heard from Brother Zhao that you identified my piece of porcelain. I couldn't believe it before I met you.
In this regard, someone as young as you has such good eyesight, but now I can’t believe it! Brother He, I admire you so much!"
"You deserve the award." He Qing shook his head humbly.
Boss Zhao, who was standing next to him with a smile on his face, then pointed at the middle-aged man and introduced to He Qing: "Brother He, let me introduce you first. This is Mr. Fujino. He is from Tokyo, Japan.
However, he has been developing in Beijing and Jiangzhou in the past few years. Not only does he like to collect ancient Chinese art, but he and his friends opened a private museum in Beijing, which can be said to be the only museum opened by foreigners."
Qing responded lightly.
Only then did he realize that the gentle-looking middle-aged man standing in front of him turned out to be a Japanese man. In fact, he had felt this way when he first saw him, and what he said later was
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. Now that Boss Zhao explained the origin of the other party, the matter was confirmed.
When he learned that the other party was a Ri, He Qing suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of disgust in his heart. It was not that he had any prejudice against the Ri who he had never met before, but that he had no good impression of all Ri.
When He Qing was a child, He Qing heard many stories about how the Japanese invaders killed and harmed the Chinese people. Although their hometown was far away in southern Hunan, in a remote mountainous area, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders' power did not expand so fiercely.
Going deep into their little place where no one has shit, the older generation has also been hurt to a certain extent, so when it comes to Japan, they hate it deeply, a very natural feeling of hatred.
Therefore, He Qing's attitude suddenly became cold, but he did not leave angrily, but sat down perfunctorily for the sake of Boss Zhao's face.
When Mr. Fujino asked a question, he answered without saying a word, because he really couldn't arouse the slightest interest in him, and he really had nothing to talk about with him.
If it had been known that Boss Zhao's friend was a Japanese businessman, then He Qing might not even have attended last night's banquet, and so many things would not have happened.
He got into trouble indirectly because of this Japanese person. After all, he was the one who identified the pastel porcelain and everyone saw it with their own eyes. When this matter reaches the ears of the liar, the other party will definitely hate him.
In fact, the news of this matter has been leaked, and someone has obviously reported it, but I don't know if the liar will take revenge on him secretly.
"Brother He, what are you doing now?" Mr. Fujino asked emphatically.
He Qing answered truthfully: "While working, I run a small antique shop by myself."
"Brother He, are you working at Jianbaozhai now?" asked Boss Zhao, who was sitting aside.
"Well, yes." He Qing nodded.
Boss Zhao shook his head and sighed: "Although 'Jianbaozhai' is a very large antique store, it is still too talented! A rare talent like you should have a broader stage."
Fujino also said: "Brother Zhao is right, your eyesight is so good, even 'Zhu Fang' can recognize it. A genius appraiser like you should do bigger things! Only in this way can you reflect your true value."
! Brother He, I wonder if you are interested in joining us? If you are willing to follow me to the capital to run the antique business, then I will never treat you badly. I am willing to pay you ten times more for the 'Jianbao Zhai'
!what do you think?"
Fujino got straight to the point and stated his request. It turned out that he intended to offer He Qing an olive branch and recruit his talents.
However, He Qing shook his head and refused without hesitation, saying: "Sorry, I don't work for others. I work at 'Jianbaozhai'. That's because they are my friends and I just do something for my friends!"
Unexpectedly, He Qing refused so quickly. Fujino and Boss Zhao looked at each other, and then Fujino reluctantly smiled and said: "Brother He, let's make friends first."
"I never make friends with Japanese people!" He Qing sneered secretly, "I won't help you Japanese people appraise treasures! Just give up on this idea!" (To be continued.
