The next day, Xue Chen got up early and went to work in Daxing. As soon as he entered the store, he unexpectedly saw Shen Wanjun.
Shen Wanjun seemed to be reading the newspaper. When he saw Xue Chen coming in, he smiled and said, "Back?"
"Um."
Xue Chen responded and walked to sit down next to Shen Wanjun.
"Is the archaeological excavation going well?" Shen Wanjun asked.
Xue Chen briefly explained the archaeological process, which made Shen Wanjun very interested.
"Archaeological excavation is indeed an opportunity for people to increase their knowledge." Shen Wanjun sighed, and then mentioned the cooperation with Zhuo Zhuo Antique Store.
"Wang Dong's ability is quite good. Seven of the first batch of ten antiques entrusted for sale have been sold, and the prices are higher than the market price, which is almost the same as Wan Rui's price."
Xue Chen felt relieved when he heard what Shen Wanjun said.
"In the end, the account was based on thirty-seven points, not the one-nine points you mentioned." Shen Wanjun said casually.
"Uncle Shen, we have already agreed on a 19-cent split. I propose cooperation not because I want to make money from Daxing, but just to improve the quality of the outstanding antique store." Xue Chen said hurriedly.
"Of course I know, just think of me as an elder supporting you two juniors." Shen Wanjun smiled nonchalantly and waved his hand, "Since you are here and I have something else to do, I will go back first. "
After seeing Shen Wanjun off, Xue Chen glanced at the newspaper on the table. After a closer look, he realized that it was not a color-printed newspaper, but a well-made brochure. He had nothing to do, so he held it in his hand. Here, I flipped through the pages.
Liu Gan came over and poured a cup of tea, and said while drinking: "That is the brochure for the autumn auction of Fuji Auction Yunzhou Branch. Various antique shops, pawn shops, and collectors of all sizes collect them all. arrive."
Xue Chen frowned and said nothing, looking at the cover of the brochure. It was a beautiful and well-shaped blue and white porcelain from the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty. It was obviously promoted as a top priority.
"Hey, this piece of blue and white porcelain is so beautiful. I think it costs more than three million to take it away." Liu Gan sighed loudly when he saw Xue Chen staring at the blue and white porcelain on the cover.
Xue Chen turned his head and asked: "Brother Liu, if I say that this blue and white porcelain is a fake, do you believe it?"
Liu Qian was startled: "No way. If it is a fake, will the people at Fuji Auction be able to identify it? There should be no problem. Otherwise, if the buyer finds something wrong after the auction, the problem will be huge, and the whole thing may be Branch offices can no longer be opened, so others pay a high price that is higher than the market price, just to get an authentic picture."
Xue Chen thought for a long time and wanted to call Huang Jingming to remind him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
If Huang Jingming really trusted him, this piece of porcelain would not appear on the cover of the promotion. Since it appears, it shows that he still does not believe in him.
Moreover, Cai Youde must have authenticated it and obviously thinks it is true. Who will Huang Jingming choose to believe? It goes without saying that calling him is asking for trouble.
After work, Xue Chen drove to Zhuoyue Antique Store. Seeing him appear, Fatty Wang immediately stepped forward and murmured: "Old Xue, you are back. Hey, let's see what you posted, go and act." Bao Zheng doesn’t even need to put on makeup, he just needs a crescent moon on his forehead.”
"You know what the heck, this is called bronzer, it's popular abroad, it's healthy!"
Xue Chen choked Fatty Wang and strode towards the second floor. As he walked, he said, "Uncle Shen told me that the antiques you sell in Daxing are pretty good and I'm quite satisfied."
Fatty Wang chuckled and said proudly: "Just average, third in the country."
Xue Chen curled his lips: "I said you were fat, and you got breathless."
After the two of them sat down on the sofa on the second floor, Fatty Wang looked at Xue Chen, with a gleam in his little eyes, and said mysteriously: "Old Xue, you are living a very comfortable life there, right?"
"Tired, dirty, and exposed to the sun, this is called moisturizing?" Xue Chen said speechlessly.
"Hey, you're still lying to me. Are you hooking up with the beautiful reporter Lin Xirong again?" Fatty Wang asked.
"Huh?" Xue Chen looked at Wang Dong in surprise. How did he know that he had seen Lin Xirong at the ancient tomb excavation site?
Fatty Wang smiled proudly, grabbed a newspaper from the side, and pointed at a piece of news: "This is today's latest Haicheng Evening News, read it yourself."
Xue Chen took the newspaper and read it carefully. It was a report about the excavation of an ancient tomb. The focus of the report was the fox mask in the coffin. It introduced the history of the Golden Fox Sect in detail and speculated on the identity of the tomb owner. , the accompanying picture is also the golden fox mask.
The writer is naturally Lin Xirong. It can be seen that she put a lot of effort into checking the information, and the report is very beautiful. However, at the end of the report, Lin Xirong specially added a sentence: Thank you Mr. Xue Chen for your contribution to the relevant historical information. supply.
"If others don't know, you have to do it yourself, Lao Xue, you and Reporter Lin are having a very hot relationship." Fatty Wang clicked his tongue, filled with envy.
Xue Chen didn't think much about it and threw the newspaper aside, not bothering to explain Fatty Wang's dirty guess.
However, in the next two days, this report caused unexpected changes and disturbances.
Reporters who participated in the coffin-opening ceremony came from several media outlets. After the interview, they all reported in various ways immediately. Three print media, a radio station, and a provincial TV station all reported on the excavation of the tomb. The reports focused on the golden fox mask as the only burial object in the coffin.
Except for the Haicheng Evening News report, all quotes were from Cai Youde: The mask was just an ordinary mask, a personal hobby of the tomb owner and had no special historical significance.
A newspaper in Sunan City even added gimmicks to its report with the headline: "Old professor from the Cultural Relics Bureau is speechless, Master Xiangjiang tells the truth."
However, many people have cursed after seeing the Haicheng Evening News report. Anyone with a little common sense can see which statement is more true and more consistent with common sense.
In particular, the historical data quoted in Lin Xirong's report are all marked with origins, allowing people to follow them. Many people have also verified and confirmed that the Haicheng Evening News report is completely true.
For a time, the relevant online forums were filled with scoldings, all accusing Haicheng Evening News of being a conscientious media, and other media being very irresponsible, reporting without detailed investigation, and misleading the public.
Incidentally, Professor Pan's reputation was rehabilitated and he was called a rigorous attitude, while Cai Youde became a pseudo-expert and a real beast.
Haicheng Evening News was brought to the forefront in one fell swoop. Many people sent letters of praise and made phone calls, praising Haicheng Evening News as a conscientious media and praising reporter Lin Xirong as a good and responsible journalist.
The sales volume of that issue of the newspaper soared, reaching the best sales volume in five years.
The leaders of Haicheng Evening News never expected that such a thing would happen. They were all ecstatic when they saw the letters of praise floating in like snowflakes and the hotline that was almost exploded.
The newspaper quickly held a meeting, and the president made a decision on the spot. He decided to take advantage of this opportunity to write a personal report about Lin Xirong in the newspaper. The content of the report was nothing more than Lin Xirong's serious and responsible work attitude, willingness to endure hardship, and dedication.
Wait and shape her into a positive image in Haicheng Evening News.
At the same time, a decision was unanimously adopted to promote Lin Xirong to deputy editorial director of the newspaper.
"Xirong, your work status is worth learning from all the reporters in the newspaper. After discussion, we have decided to appoint you as the deputy director of the editorial department, with a two-level salary increase." The newspaper editor-in-chief Liu Shucheng called Lin Xirong and said with a smile on his face.
A smile spread across Lin Xirong's lips: "Thank you for your leadership's trust. I will not let down the cultivation of the newspaper."
As soon as she walked out of the editor-in-chief's office, Lin Xirong received a phone call.
"Rongrong, dad received a call from President Pi of your newspaper. He told me about your work after joining the newspaper. I also saw the reports you wrote. Dad is happy for your achievements. I didn't want to
I made you appear in public and prevented you from becoming a reporter. Now that I see how much you love this profession, I won't stop you anymore."
Hearing the change in her father's attitude towards her becoming a reporter, Lin Xirong was even happier than hearing her own salary increase and promotion, and her heart felt warm.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xirong felt that she should thank one person, that is Xue Chen. Since she became a reporter for the newspaper, she has been very dedicated to her work, but she has not shown any outstanding achievements in her work compared to other reporters.
Until that time, I coincidentally served as a reporter for an antique appreciation conference, met Xue Chen, found the direction of doing journalism, and made achievements again and again.
This time, she was able to stand out among many media outlets because she knew Xue Chen better than other reporters and got the information she needed from Xue Chen's mouth, thus making the correct report.
The antique circle in Haicheng City has also experienced quite a shock. Nowadays, Xue Chen is considered a well-known figure in the antique circle of Haicheng City. Although he is young, those who know him know that his appraisal level is extraordinary.
.
And this time, he severely stepped on the great appraiser from Xiangjiang, which made everyone in Haicheng City's antique circle feel proud and honored. Invisibly, Xue Chen's image
Suddenly it rose higher.
At the same time, Xue Chen's cell phone kept ringing all day long, and he received one call after another, from people who had worked with members of the archaeological team, and from some friends in the antique circle in Haicheng City, all of whom were full of praise.
Professor Pan also called. They just chatted briefly and did not talk about the report. However, Xue Chen could feel the change in Professor Pan's tone and he became much closer.
After all, Professor Pan, who worked rigorously in newspapers, became a person in name only, while Cai Youde, a boastful talker, became an expert. Fortunately, all of this was reversed because of him.
Xue Chen was sitting on the second floor of Daxing Pawnshop, touching his cell phone with a hot battery and rubbing his nose. He never dreamed that a report would cause such a commotion. (To be continued)
