After negotiating with Lao Gan, He Qing spent 3,000 yuan to buy the suitcase. Later, he left the pawn shop with the items that Uncle Long asked him to pick up and the suitcase.
As soon as He Qing left, Lao Gan, who walked him to the door, took out his mobile phone and called someone.
"Brother, the things have been taken away." After the call was connected, Lao Gan said with a smile, "That Brother He is really nice and has good eyesight. He didn't touch the four things except the bowl. He said he couldn't see it.
Okay, it's not convenient for you to take it."
"Oh, really?" I heard a deep voice reply from the other end of the phone, "That's right. In fact, I was very optimistic about Brother He from the beginning, but he is new to the antique business after all, so I don't know his practical ability.
Well, the way he handles this matter now shows that his actual work ability is not bad, so it’s okay."
Lao Gan chuckled and said, "He must be a shrewd young man. We are short of manpower here. Why don't you give him to us?"
"That's not okay." The person on the phone quickly refused, "Brother He was personally invited by Mr. Deng. Even if I am willing to do so, Mr. Deng is reluctant to do so."
Lao Gan said: "Since it is Mr. Deng who likes it, what else is there to say? It must be excellent!"
…………
After a while, He Qing returned to the "Jianbao Zhai" with his things. At that time, not only Uncle Long was there, but also Lin Haitao and the big shopkeeper Deng Lao.
When He Qing walked in and found Lin Haitao and the others there, He Qing couldn't help being surprised, as if the other three were specifically waiting for him to come back.
"Mr. Deng." After walking up, He Qing politely greeted Mr. Deng first.
"Are you back?" Mr. Deng looked at him with a smile and said in an extremely gentle tone, "I knew you would come today."
He Qing nodded and said: "Every time I come to Jianbaozhai, I feel like I'm going home, so I like to learn from you here."
"Uncle Long, these are those three things." He Qing then handed over the antiques he brought from Lao Gan's pawn shop to Uncle Long one by one, and said solemnly: "Is there a total of them?"
Four antiques? But I only got three of them back. The other one is a pastel bowl, but I can’t see it clearly, so I can’t bring it to you.”
"Not bad, very good!" Uncle Long and Mr. Deng looked at each other and exclaimed, "Brother He, you have really good eyesight! Congratulations, you have passed the internship and can officially work in our store from now on. Welcome.
Join us!"
"ah?!"
When Uncle Long said those words with excitement, He Qing looked surprised. He looked at Uncle Long, then at Lin Haitao and Mr. Deng.
In fact, He Qing had guessed this a long time ago and knew that Uncle Long's request to go to Lao Gan to pick up things was a deliberate arrangement and was a test of himself.
Fortunately, he thought deeply just now, otherwise he would not be able to pass Uncle Long. After all, Uncle Long is the chief appraiser of "Jianbaozhai" and he plays a very important role. If he is unwilling to accept new employees, then I am afraid that Mr. Deng will have no choice.
.
"Brother He, don't you want to join our 'Jianbaozhai'?" Mr. Deng asked with a smile on his face.
He Qing shook his head vigorously and said decisively: "Of course I think about it! Mr. Deng, I have already planned to decline the offer from that jade carving factory."
"That's good." Mr. Deng said happily, "With you joining, our family will be complete. Don't look for anyone else. In my opinion, you are the most suitable!"
"Thank you!" He Qing said gratefully.
At this moment, he is naturally very happy. From now on, he can be regarded as a person with a formal job, and this job is his favorite and the starting point of his career.
Uncle Long also spoke with a smile: "Brother He, you won't blame me for what happened just now, right? This was a trap I set up deliberately, but it didn't have any malice. I just wanted to test you. Now that you passed it successfully, I
Very satisfied! Lao Gan said that you could immediately tell that the pastel bowl was a fake. It was very rare. That piece of porcelain was a high imitation and had deceived many people. Several experts agreed at the beginning.
, asking price three million!"
"Haha, Uncle Long, you're flattered." He Qing said with a smile.
Speaking of which, He Qing knew nothing about the porcelain. If Uncle Long hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that the porcelain was pastel porcelain. The reason why he could judge accurately was because of his eyesight.
Although he can see the "treasure light" emanating from antiques and can also view its ins and outs to a limited extent, he is not omnipotent in identification and his role is extremely limited. Therefore, he must learn professional identification knowledge and gradually strengthen his identification ability.
Bao’s ability.
"Brother He, congratulations!" Lin Haitao, who was standing aside with high spirits, held He Qing's hand and said, "It will be even better if you are here! We can go out to see things and collect things together! Oh, by the way, you
Where did you get this suitcase from?"
When Lin Haitao suddenly mentioned the box, Mr. Deng and Uncle Long immediately noticed it. Mr. Deng said casually: "This suitcase is small and unique, but unfortunately it has no texture and the material is average. It is an old thing.
The whole thing looks to be in pretty good condition.”
"Thank you, Mr. Deng Zhangyan." He Qing said politely, "This box was given to me by Lao Gan. I prefer to collect this kind of wooden utensils."
He didn't expect the relatively simple small suitcase in his hand to be a good thing. It was only a collection of several thousand yuan, and he wouldn't be able to make much money no matter how much it appreciated in value.
What interested him was the mysterious copper coin hidden in a corner of the box. The origin of the copper coin was not very simple, and it must be worth a few dollars.
"Brother He, since you are willing to join us, let me tell you some things first. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can raise it directly. I will try my best to meet your request." After a while, Mr. Deng solemnly said
He said, "The annual salary here is 100,000 yuan. If you can handle food and accommodation, you can do it yourself. If there are special circumstances, I can make other arrangements. The annual salary of 100,000 yuan is the most basic salary. Of course, bonuses are calculated separately. Everything related to work is
All expenses will be reimbursed. Brother He, are you okay?"
He Qing nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem! I accept it all!"
What he is looking for is not a generous salary. It doesn't matter if it is more or less. What he needs most right now is a stable learning environment, where it is relaxed and pleasant. Why not do it.
In fact, this salary is not low. Working in ordinary places is far from such good benefits. Nowadays, there are so many college students. After graduating from college, it is very good for the average person to find a job with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan.
"That's fine if you have no problem." Mr. Deng said happily, "As for the work arrangement, you can just discuss it with Uncle Long, Haitao and the others. If you need anything, you can call me at any time."
"I know!" He Qing nodded hurriedly in agreement.
Uncle Long said: "Then officially come to work tomorrow, and I will make arrangements for you then. Actually, there are not many things to do, haha. Under normal circumstances, it is quite leisurely."
"Okay." He Qing responded happily.
After staying in "Jianbaozhai" for a while, He Qing said goodbye and rushed back to the rental house.
After returning to the rental house, the first thing he had to do was open the box and rummage inside to find the ancient copper coin.
Guided by the lingering red light, He Qing quickly found the copper coin in a crack.
That copper coin was relatively large, about five centimeters in diameter, weighed about fifty grams, and was relatively well preserved.
He Qing looked over and over carefully, and suddenly he could see the words "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" written on one side. It was a relatively common ancient regular script. But strangely, the character "国" in Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not in the correct shape, and the word "jade" in "口" was wrong.
There are a few words missing, I don’t know if it’s a typo or intentional.
"There must be nothing wrong with the things, they are genuine!" Although he had doubts, He Qing was certain of this, and the only thing he had to figure out now was the market value of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom coins.
