"Mr. Yang, here is a cash check of 600,000 RMB. Please take it and don't fold it, otherwise you won't be able to withdraw it..."
Now that he decided to buy it, Zhuang Rui took out his checkbook on the spot and wrote out a cash check for 600,000 yuan. He then took a book "Appreciation of Calligraphy, Painting and Antiques" written by Fatty Jin from the table and sandwiched the check in the book.
Afterwards, it was handed over to the calloused hands of a middle-aged man.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhuang, thank you, Teacher Zhuang..." The middle-aged man grabbed the book carefully, his eyes already a little misty.
With Zhuang Rui's purchase of the bronze tripod from the Warring States Period, the folk treasure appraisal event has also come to an end. After issuing treasure appraisal certificates to many collectors, the host came to the stage to announce the successful conclusion of the event.
This lunch was a treat from Jinan Taiwan. After the meal, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. According to the plan, we should go to Baotu Spring and other places to visit, but Zhuang Rui and others discussed it and decided not to stop in Jinan.
If not, we might as well drive directly back to Beijing. Jinan is so close that we can visit whenever we want.
Zhuang Rui did not realize at this time that this private treasure appraisal event had actually established his status in the jade and antique circles. Although he may not necessarily be called an expert by this, he was also regarded by many collectors.
As far as I know, at least in Qilu, Jinjing and other places, he is already somewhat famous, which will bring Zhuang Rui a lot of benefits in the future.
When getting on the bus, the staff of Jinan Station gave each of the experts from Beijing and their colleagues a cardboard convenience bag, which contained Jinan's specialties.
, but it has one more black handbag than the staff of Beijing Channel.
After getting in the car and sitting down, Zhuang Rui quietly unzipped his bag and took a look. Five pink RMBs were neatly placed inside. I guess Fatty Jin and the others also noticed it. They all had smiles on their faces.
By the way, this expert is not a saint. Who wouldn't be happy after seeing money?
Half a day yesterday plus this morning, a total of one day of treasure appraisal time, which made the experts consume a lot of energy and energy. After taking a short break and driving through Langfang, everyone came back to their senses and began to hand out business cards to each other and leave messages.
Contact information below.
In fact, they mainly exchanged contact information with Zhuang Rui. They all hang out in Beijing and are very familiar with each other. At this time, Zhuang Rui's Jade Association film also came in handy.
"Xiaozhuang, are you free tomorrow? I'll take you for a walk around Tongzhou..."
Fatty Jin sat in the row behind Zhuang Rui. He smiled and stretched out his big hand to pat Zhuang Rui's shoulder.
"Tomorrow? I really don't have time tomorrow. The drawings of the house I bought need to be finalized, and the construction will be watched in a few days. Teacher Jin, why are you going to Tongzhou?"
Although he was not free, Zhuang Rui was also curious. Fatty Jin had a large area in Beijing, and he might know some good places.
"His kid spends all day either digging around in his old house or visiting the black market. Where else can he go? The money in his pocket can never last more than three or five days..."
Mr. Sun is very familiar with Fatty Jin, and he is not afraid of exposing his background. It is said that these people often crash cars in a certain black market. Beijing may seem big, but the circle of antique dealers is not.
"There is also a black market in Beijing?"
Zhuang Rui asked with some surprise. Even in a place like Lhasa, the black market has to be dozens of kilometers away from the city, where birds can't lay eggs. As the political and economic center of the country, there will be such a thing in Forty-Nine City.
A black market transaction?
"Hey, what a fresh question you are asking. This is the place where cultural relic dealers are most concentrated in the country. How can there be less black markets? But there are very few in urban areas. They are usually in Tongzhou and Daxing. How about tomorrow?
going or not?"
Fatty Jin lowered his voice when he said this. Although everyone in the industry knew about the existence of the black market, among the people sitting in the car, there were still outsiders. After all, he was also an expert.
"Next time, I'll definitely gain knowledge with you when I have time next time..."
Zhuang Rui felt a little regretful in his heart. This black market is a good place. Although the origins of those items are unknown, the prices are low. If you can come across something that even the organizers of the black market cannot figure out, it is also a good place to pick up. Zhuang Rui's painting
Tang Bohu's
Isn't it true that Li Duanduan's picture was bought at a bargain price on the black market?
More than an hour later, the minibus drove into the compound of Beijing TV Station. Several experts either took a taxi or drove themselves and left one after another. Zhuang Rui carried the shoe box containing the bronze tripod from the Warring States Period.
Go to your own Grand Cherokee.
"Teacher Zhuang, wait a minute..." Suddenly, the voice of a beautiful female host came from behind.
Zhuang Rui stopped, looked at Liu Jia, and asked, "Miss Liu, is there anything else?"
"It's okay. This folk treasure appraisal program was planned by me. Teacher Zhuang, your performance has made this program a lot more bright. I would like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude. I don't know if Teacher Zhuang is willing.
Are you willing to show your face?"
When Liu Jia was talking, she inadvertently stroked the ends of her hair with her right hand. The high area on her chest became plumper due to the squeeze of her arms. Zhuang Rui's eyes were a little straightened when he looked at him. He was such an innocent little virgin. Where could he be?
Have you ever seen such a charming mature woman?
"No...no, no time..."
The three words that Zhuang Rui held in for a long time made Liu Jia's expression change. She originally thought that Zhuang Rui would say the words "no problem", but she didn't expect that he would be rejected. This made Liu Jia's heart
I'm a little confused. The deputy director who hasn't sobered up just now was rushing to treat me to dinner.
In fact, Liu Jia didn't have any other ideas. Firstly, Zhuang Rui brought a lot of ratings to the folk treasure appraisal program, so he should be thanked. Secondly, Liu Jia had some interest in Zhuang Rui. His age
Qing Qing, who has a lot of money, yet behaves in a very low-key manner. His whole figure seems to be covered with a veil, making it difficult for people to understand.
Isn't there a saying that says: Men can conquer the whole world, but women only need to conquer one man? Liu Jia is not young now. Although she has never lacked suitors around her, she has always been unfaithful to those playboys who rely on their elders.
They were all without color. It was rare to meet a man that she liked, so Liu Jia took the initiative once, but unexpectedly, she was rejected directly by Zhuang Rui.
"Is it because I am older than him?"
Liu Jia was a little embarrassed and began to think wildly, but then she overturned this conclusion. Age is not a problem at all. As the saying goes, a female junior can hold gold bricks. It is said that the Queen Queen of Hong Kong is better than King Xie Xiaotian.
You are more than ten years older, don’t you still love vigorously?
If Zhuang Rui knew that Liu Jia had so many little thoughts in the blink of an eye, he would definitely cry out for injustice. Don't say that he didn't know that Liu Jia was one year older than him.
No matter what, Liu Jia's temperament is not generally attractive to men.
In fact, Zhuang Rui just wanted to say the words "no problem", but when he said it, he remembered that he received a call from his mother in the car in the afternoon, asking him to go back to Yuquan Mountain for dinner in the evening. One of them was someone he had just met one day.
Of course, Zhuang Rui has to take care of the women, one is his mother who has supported him for more than 20 years.
"Ms. Liu, it's not that I don't have time. Oh, I really don't have time. I don't even know what to say..."
The more Zhuang Rui explained, the more confused he became. Even when facing those rare treasures, he had never been so embarrassed. This man who had never experienced women was still immature. After organizing his words in his mind, Zhuang Rui said again: "
The elders in the family have asked me to go back for dinner today, so I really don’t have time. Otherwise, I can treat you to another day, okay?"
Zhuang Rui's impression of Liu Jia was really good. He spoke several times to help him out, but he had no other ideas. He couldn't make a mistake by shouting like a teacher.
Seeing Zhuang Rui's panic, Liu Jia felt inexplicably cheerful. She smiled sweetly and said: "Well, you owe me a meal. By the way, I don't drive. Where do you live? Can you sit down?
Taking a ride?"
"I'm going to Yuquan Mountain. If you're on the way, just get on the bus..."
"It just so happens that I live in that direction too. Teacher Zhuang, just drop me off halfway..."
Zhuang Rui didn't see Liu Jia's face change. Who in Beijing didn't know the location of Yuquan Mountain? The people who lived there had once been powerful in this country. She walked to Zhuang Rui's car and saw that special
Pass, I couldn't help but think highly of Zhuang Rui.
Liu Jia did live in this direction. Half an hour later, she arrived at her residence. After shaking hands with Zhuang Rui, she said goodbye and got out of the car. However, while shaking hands, she accidentally scratched her finger with her little fingernail.
Zhuang Rui's palm, this move caused Zhuang Rui to drive the car crookedly, and he almost missed the car in front of him several times.
When he drove the car into Yuquanshan Sanatorium, Zhuang Rui's heart slowly calmed down. It was almost dusk at this time, the sun had already set in the west, and the dazzling sunlight had dimmed slightly, only flowing around it.
There is a circle of golden light, bright and dazzling.
When we turned the car into the small road in the courtyard of my grandpa's house, the trees in front of me blocked half of the face of the setting sun. As time went by, the figure of the setting sun slowly disappeared, flickering and appearing, leaving only the western sky.
A piece of red light appeared. It reflected various colors through the thin clouds.
Suddenly, Zhuang Rui hit the brakes because he saw two figures appearing at the door of his grandfather's courtyard. His mother was supporting his grandfather and walking slowly.
Zhuang Rui could clearly see that his grandfather's majestic face showed a kind smile at this time, and his mother's usually frowning brows also relaxed, and from time to time, her mother's clear laughter could be heard.
It's so happy.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, as if they were covered with a layer of golden light. They were so harmonious and warm that Zhuang Rui couldn't bear to interrupt them.
