"Old man, you didn't tell me when you came back, so I might as well go and see you."
Zhang Shuchun drove over in a Hongqi car. When the Hongqi car stopped in front of him, Chen Ran stepped forward and opened the door. He helped the old man out of the car and greeted the old man with a smile.
Once a teacher, always a father. Although the old man and he did not have a master-disciple relationship, it was actually no different from a real master-disciple relationship. He learned a lot from the old man. If it weren't for the old man, he would be where he is now.
It's just like the situation when I first got the superpower. I can use the superpower to identify antiques, but I can't explain why. It's obviously not possible to buy books in a bookstore. The books in the bookstore are basically imported goods.
No matter how much he knows, it can only be regarded as a superficial understanding. You can't forget your roots. Chen Ran is definitely not a person who forgets his roots, so he respects the old man from the beginning to the end.
"You've just arrived at the door and haven't even entered the house yet. You are really bold. Last time, I told you to stop gambling on stones. But it turned out that you didn't hold back.
He is so addicted to gambling that he even dares to touch a stone worth hundreds of millions."
The old man was supported by Chen Ran and got out of the car. As soon as he said a word to Chen Ran, he couldn't help but straighten up and teach Chen Ran a lesson. This can't be blamed on the old man. Hearing Chen Ran press
The old man was shocked when he gambled a stone with 300 million yuan. This was not because he had little knowledge. Although the 300 million yuan was a lot of money, it was not enough to move him. The important thing was that Chen
However, whether he should spend 300 million to bet on stones or just one stone would make his old man feel moved. Since gambling on stones is gambling, it means you will lose if you bet. Although his old man knows that Chen Ran's good luck is a bit purple, but
No matter how good your luck is, it's just a matter of chance. To try your luck with 300 million yuan would undoubtedly be too crazy.
In particular, although his old man didn't know Chen Ran's net worth, in his opinion, Chen Ran's full calculation was about this net worth. In other words, for this piece of royal material, Chen Ran had spent all his property on it, which made him
The old man couldn't help but think about the consequences if Chen Ran lost. How could he not be angry?
Of course, another reason is that the old man spent twelve yuan on his first stone bet in Tengchong. The twelve yuan made him hesitate for a week.
After he bought it and gambled, he lost all his money and everything. He was so hungry that he didn't eat for several days. Because of this bloody lesson, he never gambled again in his life.
stone.
The old man got angry. Chen Ran knew it was for his own good, so he wasn't angry at all. He just couldn't help but feel a little bit dumbfounded. Fortunately, the old man wasn't really angry. Even if he was angry, he was overly angry when he knew about it. So
The old man lectured him and led him to the old man who came down from the other car door.
While Chen Ran was helping the old man out of the car, Zhang Shuchun also got out of the car and another middle-aged man dressed as a secretary helped out an old man from the other side of the car door. The old man looked better than the old man.
He is a little older, and he should not be a little older. He gives people a very vicissitudes of life, but he looks very refreshing. Why do you think the other party has not spoken yet, but why does he give people such a refreshing feeling?
It's because of the opponent's stance.
"Stand like a pine, sit like a bell, walk like the wind, and lie down like a bow" is how the ancients described the four most important human postures in daily life: standing, sitting, walking, and lying down. It has been regarded as a guideline for thousands of years.
This sentence means that when you stand, you should be as straight as a pine tree, when you sit, you should be as dignified as a clock, when you walk, you should be as fast and powerful as the wind, and when you sleep in bed, you should be as curved as a bow.
Chen Ran didn't know how the old man in front of him was sitting or walking, but he knew that the way the old man was standing could make people imagine the word "standing like a pine tree" just by looking at it. In fact, to put it bluntly, it meant that the old man was standing.
When you do this, your waist will be straight, as straight as a pine tree, and you will feel an upward thrust. Coupled with the smile on the other person's face, it will give people a refreshing feeling.
"Brother, this is the boy I was talking about." The old man led Chen Ran to the old man, pointed at Chen Ran and introduced him to the old man. After introducing Chen Ran, he smiled and cursed at Chen Ran:
"Xiao Ran, this is your Uncle Wu. Your Uncle Wu came all the way from Nanjing all because of you."
"Master Wu, hello."
Although Chen Ran was a little surprised that a master uncle suddenly appeared, and he was also surprised that the old man said that this master Wu came from Nanjing for him, but after hearing what the old man said, he hurriedly greeted this master Wu with the etiquette of a junior.
.
"The young man is in good spirits."
Uncle Wu spoke very concisely. When Chen Ran greeted him, he looked at Chen Ran with a smile and then gave Chen Ran an evaluation.
Chen Ran didn't feel much about Master Wu's evaluation, but the old man seemed very happy after hearing it. The middle-aged man who was supporting Master Wu with Zhang Shuchun couldn't help but look at Chen Ran more after hearing this.
After Chen Ran met the two elders, he originally planned to take the two elders to the villa to have a rest, but the old man insisted on taking a look at the stones first, so Chen Ran had to take them there first.
While on the road, Chen Ran also learned the full name of Master Wu.
Wu Zhengci.
This name is the old man's full name.
The old man's full name was not told by the old man to Chen Ran, but Chen Ran guessed it from the casual chat between the old man and the old man. In fact, it cannot be said to be a guess, because the name is too famous, and Chen Ran is too familiar with it.
After getting familiar with each other, the old man saw that he didn't know the old man's identity, so he just reminded him casually, and he knew the old man's name and identity.
Speaking of the old man, he is a living legend. In the jade world, even in the collection and antique circles, there are not many people who don’t know the old man’s name, because he is my country’s cultural relic appraisal expert and is known as the “national treasure” who appraises national treasures. Wu Zhengci.
To put it simply, we can basically say that this old man is currently the number one person in the collecting world, a veritable great master in the antiques world. There are many great masters in the antiques world, but there is only one Wu Zhengci.
This old man is currently the number one person in the collecting world. It does not mean that this old man has the largest collection of antiques, or that he is the most valuable, or that this old man must be worth a lot of money. In fact, this is not the case at all.
To be honest, the antiques collected by this old man may not be as large as those collected by Chen Ran. Their value is not even as valuable as the two remaining ones Chen Ran collected after collecting seven sets of Flower God Cups. At most, they are just collections.
He bought some worthless gadgets because the old man donated all the valuable gadgets to the country.
It can be said that this old man has devoted his whole life to the cultural work of our country, and his contribution to the cultural work of our country is immeasurable.
When he was still in middle school, the old man started to pick up missing pieces. Two of them are now national first-class cultural relics and are collected in the Palace Museum. At that time, the old man only spent 10 cents or 20 cents to collect them. In 1965, King Gou Jian of Yue
When it came out of the ground, the old man was the youngest expert who gathered in Jingzhou with Guo Moruo and other masters to jointly interpret and crack the world's best sword. During the subsequent Cultural Revolution, the old man even took huge risks.
Countless important cultural relics were preserved. After the war, the old man donated all these treasures to the National Museum. According to rumors, not to mention other museums, it is said that the treasures donated by the old man are now collected in the Palace Museum.
After Wen Ge was rehabilitated, the old man devoted himself to the reconstruction of the museum as a non-party person. During this period, he hunted countless treasures for the country and discovered and excavated dozens of important ancient ruins in my country. During this period, he himself made countless mistakes. Nowadays, there are no less than ten treasures worth hundreds of millions, and all of these treasures have been donated to the museum.
The old man worked as the deputy director of the Palace Museum for more than ten years. Later, he joined the Ministry of Culture as a non-party person and wrote countless works on cultural research.
In addition to the contribution made by the old man, the old man's character is also worthy of praise. The old man's character is extremely upright. Let's not talk about other things. I will only tell a story that has been circulating in the industry. The old man is the deputy dean of the Palace Museum. When I was growing up, the old people in the hospital were allotted buses with drivers, but the old people never took them. They always took the bus to and from work with their wife. Later, there was a car strike in the hospital, which means that all the cars in the hospital were equipped with buses. The leadership group no longer needs a car, so the old man takes a private car to get to and from get off work. However, the old man makes a clear distinction between public and private work. When the old man gets off work, he has to pass by where his wife works, but the old man's wife has never used it. The elderly are given private cars to get off work, but they always take the bus to and from work.
The old man is also known in the industry for being outspoken and daring to tell the truth. There are many rules in the antique industry. These rules often lead to conflicts among experts in the collection industry. For example, they find an expert who thinks they are collectors and ask them to appraise the collection in their hands.
Whether it is authentic or not is worth so much. The expert has a sharp eye and regards the real as fake, or the expert deliberately said the real as fake out of some selfish motives. In short, the result is unsatisfactory. This Tibetan friend is not willing to accept it.
, they found another expert, and this expert proved that the thing was real and of high value. Under such circumstances, a conflict arose between the two experts. Therefore, many experts were reluctant to accept others.
Over time, the saying "don't crack down on counterfeiting" and "don't tell if you see through it" has evolved over time. That is, if something that has been appraised by other experts is taken to other experts for appraisal, these experts will even know that they have seen it before.
The expert's identification was wrong, but he didn't say it and even said that the other person's identification was correct. Of course, he just said it verbally.
But the old man is different. From the beginning of his career, whenever he met a Tibetan friend who came to ask for advice, he always told him everything and ignored the unspoken rules of the industry. Because of this, the old man often offended people, but the old man has made great contributions to the country.
It’s too big. Not to mention the value and significance to the country of the valuable treasures that the old man donated to the country throughout his life. I will only talk about the value and significance of the valuable treasures that the old man donated to the country. If the old man did not donate these treasures to the country but kept them for himself, the old man’s net worth would not be on the list of the richest people in the country.
It is definitely among the top few, but the old man donated all his wealth to the country. Of course, this statement is only discussed privately by the people below. How can the old man's contribution to the country be measured by wealth?
.
When the old man retired from the position of deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, domestic jade associations, jewelry associations, collection associations, etc. all invited the old man to serve in their associations. Even the presidents of several associations frankly said that they would be willing to do so if the old man joined the association and held positions.
After abdicating his position to make way for the next generation, the old man did not accept their invitation. Instead, he returned to the Palace Museum to do the work of appraising and maintaining cultural relics. However, he did not hold any position. He only received the title of senior consultant and enjoyed the State Council allowance.
Chen Ran, a great master in the antiques industry, entered the industry relatively late and didn’t know much about it. However, he was very familiar with Master Wu because he bought several related books in the bookstore when he first entered the industry.
The books on jade are all written by this Master Wu. Although this Master Wu’s research field is relatively broad, he focuses on three special studies: jade, gold and silverware, and ancient calligraphy and painting. When he was working in the Ministry of Culture, he wrote many related books.
's writings.
When he bought these books written by Uncle Wu, Chen Ran didn't know Wu Zhengci was a person. Later, after doing some research, he found out that he was so powerful and said he was a "national treasure" in appraising national treasures.
After knowing about it, when Chen came to buy books, he specifically selected the book written by Master Wu. When he was reading books at the old man's place, he even saw a lot of notes about jade and jade written by Master Wu from the old man.
It was a draft or a record book. Although the writing was a bit messy, he benefited a lot from many of the records on it.
When Chen Ran was looking at these letters at the old man's place, he didn't pay much attention to them, but he didn't expect that the old man and Mr. Wu had such a relationship. No wonder the old man had so many Mr. Wu's letters in his collection.
After knowing the identity of the new Master Wu, Chen Ran couldn't help but look at him more. He checked the information of this Master Wu and found that the age difference between him and the old man should be at least ten years. How can I say this?
Master Wu is probably over seventy years old. He does look a bit old, but he can feel that the other person's body is in good shape. This is the same as when he first met the old man. The old man's body and bones were also in good shape at that time.
They practice boxing regularly, so it seems that the two of them are worthy of being brothers.
Just now, when Chen Ran was busy sending the people from the freight company away, Cao Huiyao held the little guy in his arms, so when Chen Ran brought the two old people into the warehouse, there was no interruption from the little guy.
When people came in, the Biaowang stones placed on the ground had been surrounded by three circles inside and three outside. It was very lively. Fortunately, this was Chen Ran's home. Chen Ran's words were still effective. He just asked them to give way.
Everyone stepped back far away.
No one in the warehouse could recognize Master Wu's identity. Although Master Wu was very famous, not many people had heard of his name and had seen him. After all, Master Wu did not appear on TV screens as often as celebrities.
It has never even been on the TV screen.
After bringing the two old men to the place, the old man and Uncle Wu gathered around the stones to watch. Although the people around them didn't know the identities of the old man and Uncle Wu when they saw this scene, they also knew that they were Chen Ran's elders and saw them watching.
, didn't say anything, just watched from the side, and Chen Ran naturally accompanied him.
"Let's see what your uncle says later."
After watching for a while, the old man stood up and retreated to Chen Ran. Chen Ran asked the old man how he felt. After the old man pondered for a while, he did not immediately answer Chen Ran's question, but frowned and said he would look first.
Seeing what Mr. Wu said, after saying this, the old man thought Chen Ran was very nervous, so he comforted Chen Ran.
Chen Ran wasn't nervous at all originally, but he became nervous after hearing the old man's comforting words.
Because the old man told him that his uncle Wu, that is, Mr. Wu, has a profound research on the geology and landforms of Yunnan and Myanmar. Speaking of it, Mr. Wu actually came from a geology background. He was the son of the old man’s teacher, and the old man studied with the teacher.
When I was studying geology, his teacher was already very old. At that time, he was basically the old man who was taught by Mr. Wu. Even the knowledge about jade that the old man learned was also learned from Mr. Wu. If you think about it carefully, the old man is actually Wu.
Old half student
When the old man talked to Chen Ran, he didn't go into such detail. He just said that although Mr. Wu never participated in stone gambling, he estimated the stone materials very accurately. He invited Mr. Wu from Nanjing this time because he knew that Chen Ran had done it.
Only such a big guy invited Mr. Wu over to give Chen Ran an estimate.
I also told Chen Ran that after Mr. Wu made an estimate, if he liked the stone, he would let Chen Ran cut it. If he didn't, he would not let Chen Ran cut it...
[I'm sorry for yesterday. I have been writing directly on the web page recently, which makes me always lose my manuscript. I am not used to using other methods. I wrote the manuscript yesterday and lost it as soon as I clicked on the web page. Xiaofu's current situation with the protagonist
