Chapter seven hundred and ninety-seven-seven hundred and ninety-eight negotiation
Chapter 797-798 Discussion
As the chief steward of the Provincial Party Committee, to a certain extent, Director Xia's words and deeds can represent Mr. Qi, and in China, it can make Mr. Qi, a feudal official, stretch out his hands and shake hands.
, I am afraid that apart from those retired old men, two slaps can be counted.
Judging from Zhuang Rui's age, and thinking about the car with the Beijing license plate at the door, among the people present, except Yu Zhengjun who was a little confused, the rest of them felt like they had a clear mirror in their hearts. This young man's background was definitely different.
Small.
The expression on Mayor Xue's face at the moment was thoughtful. He was thinking about how to get closer to Zhuang Rui. You know, in his position, if he wants to go further, he will need someone from the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Once appointed, it is not just the province that can decide.
Mayor Cen, on the other hand, had a pale face. Although he had not behaved very rudely just now, with the appearance of the joint law enforcement team later, even a fool could guess that it was related to him. In addition to Zhuang Rui's blunt reprimand just now, Mayor Cen
Understand, he kicked the iron plate this time.
As for the owner of this place, Xu Guoqing, he was in a daze and had no idea what was going on. In his heart, he still believed that evil would never prevail over good and that there would be justice in the world.
"I am Zhuang Rui, you are..."
Don't stretch out your hand to hit the smiling man. Zhuang Rui also guessed that the person in front of him must be the one his uncle is looking for. Seeing Mayor Cen not daring to say anything in front of him, Zhuang Rui must know the identity of this person.
Low.
"My surname is Xia, and my name is Xia Yanbing. I work for the Provincial Party Committee. This time I was instructed by Mr. Qi to visit Mr. Xu Guoqing, a folk artist..."
Although Xia Yanbing kept saying that she came to see Xu Guoqing, her hands were still held by Zhuang Rui's. The matter had been resolved. How could he care about Xu Guoqing? It was true that he was looking for opportunities to trick Zhuang Rui's background.
Although Mr. Qi did not explicitly state Zhuang Rui's identity, he was able to specifically tell him to make this trip, which shows how much he attaches importance to Zhuang Rui or his background. The person who could make Mr. Qi do this must be the deputy state official.
If the background is above the same level, Qi *** will not make such a big show of it.
Therefore, although Xia Yanbing didn't say much, he had clearly explained the ins and outs of this matter, and pointed out that it was Qi Qi who handled it, which gave Zhuang Rui's background a lot of face.
"Good boy, Qi***..."
As soon as Director Xia said these words, Yu Zhengjun opened his mouth in surprise and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
Not to mention Mr. Qi, this Director Xia is also an elusive figure in Yu Zhengjun's heart. I didn't expect that his attitude towards Zhuang Rui would be so kind... No, the word "respect" might be more appropriate.
a little.
"Lao Yu, you are right to listen to me..."
Li Dali was behind Zhengjun and touched him lightly with his arm. In fact, Li Dali was also turbulent in his heart at this moment. He was just making a living on the ground in Ji Province. Seeing this scene, he was also surprised. This
Zhuang Rui is fine if he doesn't take action, but if he does, he will break the sky.
"That's right, that's right, Mr. Li, I will make arrangements tonight, and I will definitely take good care of Mr. Zhuang..."
Yu Zhengjun nodded repeatedly, thinking in his mind whether he should ask Xiaomi, the college student he hired, to find a few classmates to save the day. I guess Zhuang Rui would like someone who is younger and more pure.
"Haha, in this situation, I'm afraid it's not your turn..."
Li Dali laughed and licked his lips at the two people shaking hands. If Zhuang Rui didn't leave, it would have been Director Xia who arranged it, and Yu Zhengjun wouldn't be able to get on the stage at all.
"Oh, then thank you Qi ***, and thank you, Director Xia, for taking the time to deal with this matter despite his busy schedule..."
How could Zhuang Rui know that Mr. Qi was that one? But guess what, my uncle must have a lot of reputation. There is a good chance that Mr. Qi is the boss of this Hebei province. It would be reasonable for Mayor Cen to surrender.
.
"Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Xu Guoqing has been wronged by what happened today. I will treat Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Xu to a meal tonight, and I hope you can give me face..."
The boss needs someone to give face to, so he must serve him well. Besides, Xia Yanbing has been working as a housekeeper for five or six years. Next year, there will be a deputy governor in the province, and he is still very hopeful to be promoted to a higher level.
.
Although such matters need to be nominated by the general secretary, the decision-making power still lies with the central government. As the old saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to become officials. Director Xia also wants to know more people, who may be able to help him when.
"night?"
Zhuang Rui looked at his watch. It was already past 5 pm. Looking at the sky outside, the sun was about to set. He originally wanted to talk to Xu Guoqing about something, but he didn't expect to encounter such a drama.
, nothing serious has been discussed yet.
"It seems I can't go back today again***..."
Zhuang Rui sighed in his heart. People can't help themselves in the world. Things that they originally thought could be done in one day would eventually go wrong. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll have to worry about Director Xia tonight..."
The relationship that my uncle had found gave him enough face, and Zhuang Rui didn't want to refuse other people's face. With everyone carrying the sedan chair, he had no choice but to agree. However, when he saw Mayor Cen on the side, Zhuang Rui suddenly became angry.
"Director Xia, although attracting investment is the focus of the work of each province, some people's purpose is not very pure. They help Japanese people to obtain the formula of traditional Chinese porcelain. This behavior is almost the same as that of ***...
"
When Zhuang Rui said this, his eyes were fixed on Mayor Cen. This slap in the face made Mayor Cen's old face turn pale and pale, and his eyes looked at Mayor Xue as if asking for help. In front of Director Xia,
He had no business speaking at all.
"Mr. Zhuang, this is a mistake in our work. Although the city has repeatedly emphasized that economic development cannot ignore the construction of civilization, some comrades have still done heartbreaking things. Don't worry, we will definitely learn from this incident.
, and will also criticize Mayor Cen’s behavior..."
Mayor Xue's words completely disappointed Mayor Cen. She originally expected him to help her, but she didn't expect that Mayor Xue not only did not help, but also followed behind and kicked him. This made Mayor Cen almost despair.
.
Mayor Cen was still a little reluctant and said: "Xue...Mayor Xue, this is centered on economic construction, but, but..."
"Stop talking, Mayor Cen, you should go back first, do a good self-examination and recognize the mistakes you have made in your work..."
Mayor Xue interrupted Mayor Cen and did not let him continue. Are you kidding? Although I have said that everything is centered on economic development, I will not let you cooperate with the little devil to mess with others.
What recipe.
Mayor Cen felt resentful when he saw what had happened, but there was no point in staying here. He lowered his head and left in a hurry with his arrogant Secretary Liu. There was also some background behind him.
I was wondering if there was anything I could do to save it, at least the administrative level should not fall.
"Xugong, Mr. Yu, Mr. Li, let's go. Director Xia is treating us. Let's go have a meal together..."
Seeing that the eyesore was gone, and what Peng Fei said about Shan Mu's little devil's death, Zhuang Rui was in a good mood at the moment.
"I...are we going too?"
The biggest official Yu Zhengjun had ever seen in his life was the county magistrate. He didn't expect to have dinner with provincial and municipal leaders today, and he couldn't believe it.
"Of course together, by the way, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Li, this is Mr. Yu, Mayor Xue, you are their parent officer..."
Zhuang Rui pulled Yu Zhengjun, who was at a loss, and introduced him to Mayor Xue. As for Director Xia, he was from the province, so he didn't say much.
Yu Zhengjun and Li Dali were both on the scene, so they naturally knew what to do. They immediately handed over their business cards. For Zhuang Rui's sake, they also spoke warmly to each other, making it look like the officials and the people were enjoying themselves.
"Brother Zhuang... Zhuang, I won't go, right?"
Although Xu Guoqing was dull, he was not a fool. He could tell that Zhuang Rui had helped him, but at this time, his thoughts were still on the Cizhou kilns that had not started firing, and he was not very keen on eating.
"Mr. Xu, you must go. We have introduced you, a master of contemporary art, which is a great thing. We need to publicize it well, and you can put forward any requests you have in the future..."
Before Zhuang Rui could answer, Mayor Xue grabbed Xu Guoqing. On the way here, he heard Director Xia introduce the whole story. If Xu Guoqing could really copy Cizhou ancient porcelain, what would happen to Shi Guoqing?
For the city, it is also an opportunity to enhance the city’s cultural brand.
"If I can't be worthy, how can I be considered a master if I can't be worthy?"
After hearing what Mayor Xue said, Xu Guoqing shook his head and waved his hands, and his face turned red. He studied the repair and imitation of ancient ceramics out of interest. Even Xu Guoqing himself did not know about his imitation of ancient porcelain.
The craftsmanship is already unmatched in the country.
"Xugong, let's go. The firing of porcelain cannot be completed in a day or two. I have some things I want to talk to you about tonight. Let's live in Shishi together then..."
When Zhuang Rui saw Xu Guoqing's refusal, he tried to persuade him. Seeing that Xu Guoqing could imitate official kiln porcelain from the ancient Cizhou Kiln, Zhuang Rui had many ideas in his mind.
It only takes more than half an hour's drive from Gaoxian County to Shishi. The group went to Shishi for a meal. The meal was at a guest house of the Provincial Party Committee. Although it was not very ostentatious, the dishes were very exquisite, which made Zhuang Rui
Enjoyed some authentic Hebei cuisine.
"Mr. Zhuang, the room has been arranged. If you need anything, please call me directly..."
After finishing the meal, Director Xia took a few room cards and handed them to Zhuang Rui. He now also admired the young man very much. How did he trick Zhuang Rui during the meal and could he find out his origins.
If it were Zhuang Rui from more than two years ago, Director Xia would have figured out his background in just three to five sentences.
But now Zhuang Rui can be regarded as a bastard. After eating a meal, his speech is impeccable. Director Xia has been working on it for a long time, but he still doesn’t know who is behind Zhuang Rui.
"Thank you, thank you, Director Xia. This is my personal phone number. I must contact you when I go to *** in the future..."
When Director Xia was leaving, Zhuang Rui handed over a business card, but it was his film at the Dingguang Museum.
Seeing this card, Director Xia seemed to have thought of something. It seemed that a few months ago, the relevant departments had mentioned this museum, but Director Xia had forgotten the specific details.
"Mr. Zhuang's business card is a must. Mr. Zhuang won't be stingy..."
Seeing that Zhuang Rui didn't take the initiative to hand him a business card, Mayor Xue shamelessly asked for it.
During the meal just now, in order to brag about himself, Mr. Li mentioned the club in the suburbs of Beijing several times, intentionally or unintentionally, and implicitly implied that the club belonged to Zhuang Rui. Mayor Xue was greatly moved when he heard this. Otherwise, with his identity, he would still
I really can't think of asking for a business card.
"If anything, Mayor Xue is too polite..."
Zhuang Rui really didn't intend to give it to him, but if he didn't give it, it would be like a slap in the face in public. Zhuang Rui quickly handed it over, smiling bitterly in his heart.
This is how the relationship between Ganqing and others was formed. In the future, when these two people go to the police station, they will call me if they have no choice. If they eat a meal for nothing today and leave a personal favor, they will definitely have to repay it later.
This official uses the government's money to win favors, but he has to pay for it out of his own pocket.
Zhuang Rui couldn't help but admire Ouyang Jun now. Others were begging for government officials, but Ouyang Jun only used a club to integrate these resources and let those officials rush to send him money.
The whole thing turned upside down.
After Mayor Xue and Director Xia said goodbye, Zhuang Rui breathed a sigh of relief. It was so tiring to talk to these old foxes. There was a hidden edge in every sentence. If you were not careful, your bottom would be revealed. Zhuang Rui didn't want to be exposed.
Outsiders think that he is flaunting outside under the banner of the Ouyang family.
"Xugong, let's go to the room to talk..."
Zhuang Rui pulled Xu Guoqing to go to the room, but he was pulled back by Li Dali, "Mr. Zhuang, when you come to Shishi, why don't you ask me to fulfill my duty as a landlord? I have arranged all the activities for the evening.
Already..."
Li Dali still has some energy in Shishi. During the break of dinner just now, he went out to book a nightclub and called a few good female students from Shishi Art School, so he planned to greet Zhuang Rui in the evening.
"Forget it, Mr. Li, Xugong and I have some serious business to discuss. I accept your offer. You can go and have fun..."
Zhuang Rui shook his head. He was not very interested in those entertainment venues, and seeing the way Li Dali spoke, it was probably a bit erotic. His wife was pregnant, and Zhuang Rui didn't want to do anything cheating.
"Mr. Zhuang, this is not okay..."
"Mr. Li, it goes without saying. You guys have a good time. I have something to do tomorrow. I'm done talking today and I'm going back to *** early tomorrow morning..."
Zhuang Rui waved his hand to interrupt Li Dali's words. Seeing Zhuang Rui's insistence, Li Dali could only leave angrily with Yu Zhengjun. This arranged program was an advantage for Yu Zhengjun.
"Peng Fei, go back and rest..."
Director Xia opened three rooms for Zhuang Rui. After Zhuang Rui let Peng Fei do his own thing, he took Xu Guoqing to his room.
"Brother Zhuang, I really want to thank you for what happened this time..."
Xu Guoqing is not a fool either. He knows that if it were not for Zhuang Rui today, he might have to stay in the bureau for a few days, and the recipes for firing Tang Sancai and Cizhou Kiln would also fall into that trap.
*Human hand.
"Xugong, I won't mention these words. I admire you very much for your ability to imitate Tang Sancai and Cizhou official kiln just out of interest. Those so-called masters who are researchers at the national salary level are far behind you.
Already..."
Zhuang Rui stood up and poured Xu Guoqing a cup of tea. Although this guest house was not very eye-catching, Zhuang Rui took a look and saw that the tea leaves on the table were actually top-quality Yuqian tea that costs thousands of yuan per tael. It can be seen that usually
The people who entertained us were all of high status.
"Mr. Zhuang, the firing formula of Tang Sancai is relatively mature, but Cizhou kiln porcelain is still in the experimental stage. Although the preliminary embryo making and painting work have been completed, the firing temperature is not yet complete.
I'm afraid it will take a lot of experiments to master it..."
Xu Guoqing corrected Zhuang Rui's statement. He judged the soil and glaze used for porcelain based on a large number of Cizhou kiln fragments that his father had used. It took several years of experiments to complete the preliminary embryonic work, but just as he
When I was about to start firing, I didn't realize that I was already bankrupt.
"Mr. Zhuang, do you still want Tang Sancai? I can take the time to burn it for you. The technology is relatively mature and the cost is not too high..."
Xu Guoqing was really grateful to Zhuang Rui, and he kept guessing about Zhuang Rui's thoughts. The other party came to look for him after seeing the Tang Sancai he made, so Xu Guoqing guessed that Zhuang Rui still wanted the three-color pottery figurines.
.
Zhuang Rui thought for a moment and said: "If I want Tang Sancai, Lao Li still needs dozens of pieces. It's not urgent. I want Cizhou porcelain now. I wonder how long it will take Xugong to bake it?"
The price of Tang Sancai in the international market, especially the three-color pottery figurines of good quality, is much higher than that in the domestic market. There are many foreign collectors who like to collect Tang Sancai. Zhuang Rui wants to release a batch, so he can fool them first.
Let’s talk about some foreigners’ money.
However, the number of porcelains released must not be large. Only two or three pieces can be released at a time, and the places where they appear must be dispersed. One piece from Germany and one from France, so as not to arouse the suspicion of international auction houses.
Therefore, the dozens of pieces Li Dali had were enough for Zhuang Rui to work for a period of time. More importantly, those porcelains had been artificially aged, which also saved Zhuang Rui a process, otherwise
It's still quite troublesome.
The distressing of porcelain alone is a very tedious process. The more primitive method is to first use cowhide to wipe off the shine on the surface. This process can last at least a few weeks and as long as two months.
Then, put the porcelain into water with tea leaves and alkali, and boil it for 5-6 hours to remove the "gloss" on the surface. There are also some things to pay attention to. Hydrofluoric acid and water are generally used to remove the luster of high-temperature porcelain, while for low-temperature porcelain, hydrofluoric acid and water are used to remove the luster.
For light, use potassium permanganate plus a trace amount of acid and water.
Finally, apply shoe polish on the porcelain and bury it in the soil. The surface of the porcelain will "eat" the soil into the porcelain, thus creating an antique feel.
Although this method is time-consuming, the distressing effect is much better than the method of directly polishing the porcelain with fine sandpaper, and the patina effect after mud is also much higher than that of rapid distressing.
method.
There are many ways to make porcelain look old, such as abrasion, peeling off glaze, poking bubbles, removing flames, coloring, and rusting, etc. I will briefly mention them here, and I won’t go into details for the professional ones.
Xu Guoqing heard Zhuang Rui's question, thought for a moment, and said: "It will probably take at least half a year to restore Cizhou porcelain, and, and..."
"Speak directly if Xugong has something to say, and it will be fine..."
Seeing Xu Guoqing's stubbornness, Zhuang Rui seemed to have something to hide.
Xu Guoqing scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Brother Zhuang, I used to only care about my own interests and hobbies. I cared too little about my family. My children were so angry that they went back to their parents' home. I...I wanted you to give me
Of the 500,000, I gave 300,000 to my wife, but the remaining 200,000 may not be enough to test the Cizhou kiln porcelain..."
After Xu Guoqing went through today's episode, he realized that his family had not received a penny since 2000, and his wife and children had been suffering with him, so he said these words.
"Then how much more funds do you need?" Zhuang Rui asked.
"It's hard to say, porcelain clay is not valuable, but the glaze is very expensive, and there will be a lot of waste in the beginning. If everything goes well, five or six million will be enough. If it gets stuck, I'm afraid even two or three million won't be able to solve the problem.
…”
Xu Guoqing's tens of millions of net worth was lost due to such efforts. Looking back now, he felt a little like in a dream. He was so poor that he could hardly afford to eat. Why was he still so interested in porcelain?
But if Xu Guoqing is allowed to return to the laboratory now, I'm afraid this guy will still dive in and ignore worldly affairs.
Zhuang Rui unconsciously tapped the table top of the glass coffee table with the middle finger of his right hand and began to think deeply. Xu Guoqing didn't know what Zhuang Rui was thinking and didn't say anything. The room fell silent for a while.
After about ten minutes, Zhuang Rui said: "Well, XCMG, I have an idea. Do you think it will work? There is no need to open your factory again. I will invest and transform the factory into a factory."
Do you think it would be possible to create a laboratory that specializes in the restoration of ancient ceramics?"
"That's fine, but brother, this laboratory is a money-burning business. It's fine that I like this, but all your money will be wasted..."
Of course Xu Guoqing had no objection to Zhuang Rui's investment, but that didn't mean that the other party was using the money to play with him? However, Xu Guoqing was quite honest and said the ugly things first.
"You can't say that, Xugong, I can treat these porcelains you fired as genuine and put them on the international auction market. I won't hide it from you. As long as we can successfully auction three or five porcelains, the money will be enough."
You can all come back..."
Zhuang Rui said what he had been thinking about for a long time. After finishing speaking, his eyes were fixed on Xu Guoqing.
