Chapter 086 I really don’t want to get involved in this matter
"You are really a woman, are you not fooling me?" Shen Yu confirmed again.
[Shovel the land and eat the elixir]: "Yes! Didn't your recruitment advertisement say that there is no limit to men and women? What? Have you changed your mind now?"
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Shen Yu directly sent a voice message: "No, absolutely not. Don't get me wrong. I was just surprised. As you know, more men make a living in the antique shop.
"It's better if you're a woman. Women have a natural affinity when it comes to sales.
"For example, salespersons in shopping malls are basically all women, and compared to their male counterparts, female store managers are more attentive and more patient with customers' inquiries.
"Being able to hire a female shopkeeper who is attentive and knowledgeable about antiques is something that many shopkeepers dream of."
[Shovel the land and eat the elixir]: "It doesn't matter. I'm very happy to see that you can provide dormitories, because I have encountered some difficulties recently and the rent of the rented house is already unaffordable, so I am very concerned about accommodation when I am looking for a job.
"You also know that house prices in Chuzhou have been rising, and rents are also rising."
Shen Yu thought for a while and sent over with a troubled expression: "It may not be convenient for me here...but accommodation is not a problem, I can help you solve it."
[Shovel the land and eat the elixir]: "What? You don't have any room there?"
Shen Yu continued to send a voice message: "No, there are plenty of rooms. I currently live alone in a courtyard with two entrances, but it is definitely inconvenient for us single men and women to live in the same courtyard.
"And my yard is quite remote, so it's not convenient for you to get off work at night.
"Well, let's have an interview when you have time.
"In today's popular terms, it's a two-way interview. While I'm interviewing you, you can also interview me, the store owner.
"If we are all satisfied, you can continue to live in the original place. As long as the previous salary conditions remain unchanged, I will pay the rent for you."
Shen Yu doesn't want to miss this opportunity. No matter how high the rent of a residence can be, how high can it be?
Even if you spend a lot of money, you have to retain this talent. Besides, Shen Yu is not short of money now. As long as he is willing to sell the "Ink Bamboo and Stone Painting" by Wang Mengduan of the Ming Dynasty, he can immediately become a multi-millionaire, not to mention that he still has a treasure in his pocket. Where is the ancient ink in Dingcheng Junfang?
[Shovel the land and eat the elixir]: "Mr. Shen, why are you so embarrassed? My rent here is nearly 3,000 yuan per month in the city center."
Shen Yu smiled and said, "As long as you help me look after the store, I can still afford three thousand yuan. Send me your mobile phone number and we will call you later."
"Mr. Li, I like your mutton-fat white jade medal very much. If you are willing to part with it, just tell me the number and I can transfer the money to you now." Zheng Congyuan spoke at this time.
When Shen Yu saw that the God of Wealth was going to buy Mr. Li's jade token, the show might be about to begin, so he quickly said to the other party: "I'm in a hurry here. I'll contact you later. Goodbye."
Shen Yu had long expected that Zheng Congyuan would definitely buy Mr. Li’s Zigang Brand.
First, his ancestors studied this.
Secondly, studying jade is still an elegant thing to gain fame even now. They are both businessmen, but some nouveau riche people sit down with him to discuss business and lose the momentum first, and unconsciously feel inferior to him.
He was a Confucian businessman, his ancestors came from a scholarly family, and he studied ancient jades. I guess Zheng Congyuan himself felt the same way.
Third, he is not short of money. Coming across a Zigang card with good carving and good jade quality is simply a blessing from heaven. How could he miss such a good opportunity?
It's a real Zigang card. If Zheng Congyuan owns one, it will not only confirm his reputation as an expert in ancient jade research, but also bring honor to his ancestors.
"Don't be too busy buying jade plaques. Let Shen Yu talk about his appraisal results. Hey, Shen Yu, what are you talking about on the phone? Come over and say a few words about your appraisal opinions." Li Hanlin's voice spoke to Shen Yu. Yu's ears rang.
Just now, Shen Yu returned to his seat and saw several people chatting lively. After eating the pastries, he moved a chair and placed it in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the beautiful scenery of Qingyun River.
After hearing Li Hanlin's words, Shen Yu sat up and smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Li, I don't need to say it, right? And Mr. Zheng has already identified it, it is the 'Zigang brand' made by Lu Zigang himself."
To be honest, Shen Yu wanted to fulfill Zheng Congyuan's wish. The attraction of a genuine Zigang tablet to those who study ancient jade is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
As much as a person who loves painting would like to own a pair of authentic paintings by Wu Daozi, Li Gonglin, and Huang Gongwang, Zheng Congyuan would love to own a Zigang brand, even more.
The real Zigang tablet is nowhere to be found. In this case, if no one present can identify anything wrong with the jade tablet, then it is a real Zigang tablet!
Since Zheng Congyuan needs and likes it, why not enjoy the beauty of adulthood?
Shen Yu didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Li Hanlin's face darkened, "What do you mean? The treasure appraisal meeting, the treasure appraisal meeting, is for everyone to express their opinions after appraising the collection. If you just don't say it, , then what else is called a Treasure Appraisal Society?
"It's called the Treasure Watching Club, the Treasure Watching Club, wouldn't it be more appropriate?"
Seeing that Shen Yu wanted to explain, Li Hanlin waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense to me, you are the only one left now, you have to say it even if you don't say it! Otherwise we will go to Lao Li's Zuixianlou to eat later. For a big dinner, you can eat and drink by yourself!"
"Okay, then let me tell you a little personal opinion." Shen Yu stood up on the wooden chair with a solemn expression. He quickly walked to the red sandalwood Eight Immortals table and took out the jade plaque from the wooden box.
"Let's talk about the material of this jade plaque first. This jade material is 100% mutton fat white jade material. It has pure texture, fine structure, sufficient water content, good oiliness, white with yellowish color, soft and moist.
"The overall structure is square, upright, generous and solid, which is in line with Lu Zigang's peculiar temperament of not carving, polishing or engraving if the jade material is not good.
“The engraving work has nothing to do with it, the flatness is perfect.
"Seniors also know that some jade craftsmanship patterns and fonts are very well carved, but the overall jade plaque is uneven. Of course, you can't see it with the naked eye, but with a magnifying glass.
"But if the whole thing can be made flat, the aesthetics of the decorative fonts are not that interesting.
"Therefore, there are very few jade workers who can achieve good and smooth carving, and even fewer can achieve the level of this jade medal.
"There is information that the jade plaques made by Lu Zigang are all uniform. From this point of view, this plaque is very much like a real Zigang plaque."
What Shen Yu said was very similar, but he didn't say it was absolutely true. Shen Yu would not do anything that violated professional ethics.
He actually told the truth!
If he didn't have special treasure appraisal ability, Shen Yu would definitely think that this was a real Zigang tablet, carved by Lu Zigang himself!
Even now that he knows that this jade medal is from the middle and late Qing Dynasty, he still doesn't know what's wrong with it.
As for the fact that Lu Zigang did not carve dragons and phoenixes, there is no guarantee, and it cannot be used as a basis for identification.
Even if Shen Yu shows off the colorful phoenix flying and the golden dragon emerging from the water, it will only increase the value of this jade medal.
Why?
Because sometimes Lu Zigang doesn’t have the final say whether to carve dragons or phoenixes.
What if the emperor asked him to carve it?
Then Lu Zigang definitely wouldn’t dare not do it!
Shen Yu just thought of this. If Emperor Jiajing or Emperor Wanli asked Lu Zigang to carve dragon and phoenix patterns, wouldn't it be logical?
Since it’s useless to say it, it’s better not to say it!
Shen Yu won't do anything that brings trouble to himself.
