Huang Pengqian, Huang Pengfei, and the two young masters of Huichun Hall, almost everyone frowned when they mentioned Huang Pengfei, but when it came to Huang Pengqian, even his competitors like Ling Chuchu had to say that he was a very powerful young man.
"Fang Ming, I admit that you are a genius in identifying medicinal materials, but Huang Pengqian is even more talented than you. It is said that when he was ten years old, he could recite the names of ten thousand kinds of Chinese medicinal materials. When he was sixteen years old, he could close his eyes.
I can name hundreds of medicinal materials just by smell, and there is no difference at all.”
In the room, Ling Chuchu's expression became very serious, "Huang Pengqian is far more powerful than that. It is actually difficult to judge the specific age of many traditional Chinese medicines that are over a hundred years old, but he can do it and never makes a mistake. Last year's
The organizer of the ginseng auction invited him to be the appraiser, and no one had any objections."
"To put it bluntly, if Huang Pengqian said that this is a 100-year-old ginseng, most people would believe it, because just the three words Huang Pengqian are enough to make them believe it.
"
"Really or not, if that's the case, then he won't be able to make much money. Just get some ginseng that's been around for decades and pretend it's hundreds of years old."
Hua Mingming clicked his tongue, but Fang Ming shook his head and explained: "Such a person would not bother to do this, because for him credibility and reputation are more important than money, and even if he really does this
, there will also be some medicinal merchants rushing to buy it, even if they know that the expiration date is false."
"How is it possible? These medicinal merchants are all fools, spending the money to buy precious medicinal herbs that are hundreds of years old to buy medicinal herbs that are decades old?" Hua Mingming didn't believe it. There are so many fools in the world, not to mention that the merchants are all very shrewd.
, just like the old man in his family.
"If a top appraisal expert, such as the chief appraiser of the Palace Museum, gives you a copper basin and says he is willing to provide you with an appraisal certificate, saying that this piece of broken copper was used by Emperor Qianlong, he knows that it may be fake.
, will you buy it?"
Fang Ming's rhetorical question made De Hua Mingming stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "Buy it, I will definitely buy it. With the appraisal certificate, I won't worry about not being able to sell it."
After answering, Hua Mingming also reacted, with a look of sudden realization on his face. This is the so-called celebrity effect. Those collectors are not professionals. They do not rely on the identification of experts and professors. The same is true for medicinal materials.
Huang Pengqian's reputation is worth this price. As long as these medicinal material merchants say that the medicinal material was authenticated by Huang Pengqian, some rich people will rush to buy it, and they are not afraid that no one will want it.
"Even if Huang Pengqian is very good at this, he is just a wizard. In fact, there is no need to take it too seriously. Those medicinal suppliers value his ability, but it is impossible not to provide you with Guangniantang because of him.
goods."
Hua Mingming is very clear about this, just like their Huabao Building respects the experts in antique appraisal, but that is when the other party has not touched their own interests, but if a certain expert and professor comes to their Huabao Building
, saying that these things cannot be sold to so-and-so, they will be kicked out directly.
"Things are not that simple. Although Huang Pengqian is the eldest son of Hu Chuntang, he has never participated in any business of Huichun Hall, nor has he held any position in Huichun Hall. There are rumors in the circle that the reason is because Huang Pengqian is not from the Huang family.
My own son, so I don’t let him get involved so as not to compete with Huang Pengfei for power in the future.”
Ling Chuchu expressed her worries. This was the reason why she really felt uneasy. A genius with great abilities had been hidden by Hu Chuntang, but at this conference, he appeared on behalf of Huichun Hall.
Thinking back to what Huang Pengfei almost said...
"We must find out why Huang Pengqian appeared here and what kind of conspiracy there is in Huichun Hall."
Ling Chuchu pondered there, Fang Ming didn't say anything more, but turned around and returned to his room. He couldn't help much with these business matters, and it had nothing to do with him. He was just a medicinal material for Guangniantang.
consultant.
It is true that Aunt Ling treats him well, and he will help if he can help, but she will not be so devoted to Ling Chuchu. After all, he is just an outsider, and the two parties only have a cooperative relationship.
…
The next day!
At around eight o'clock in the morning, Ling Chuchu came and knocked on the door. Her face was a little haggard. Although she was wearing makeup, she could vaguely see the dark circles under her eyes. Obviously, Huang Pengqian's appearance and Huang Pengfei's words made her unable to sleep well all night.
.
"Let's go, there is the opening ceremony of the exchange meeting today, and the organizer has already arranged a car to wait at the door of the hotel."
In addition to Ling Chuchu and Sun Limin, there were two old men, but these two old men looked at Fang Ming with doubts and disdain.
"Expert Fang, let me introduce to you, these two are our medicinal material experts from Guangniantang, Expert Yu and Expert Zhang."
"Hello you two."
Fang Ming stretched out his hand, but the two experts just looked at Fang Ming coldly, with no intention of shaking hands. Upon seeing this, Fang Ming also smiled and retracted his hand.
"It turns out that this is the chief herbal medicine expert sent by our Guangniantang headquarters. He is really young and promising. When I was this old, I seemed to have identified a thousand kinds of Chinese herbal medicines with my master."
"Yes, at this age I still follow the master everywhere, going to various medicinal markets to learn about medicinal materials."
The content of the words of the two experts was to praise Fang Ming, but their tone was sarcastic, and everyone could hear the true meaning of their words.
"Well, it's not your age that makes you ambitious, and it's not your youth that makes you talented... Haha, several experts are leaders in this field."
Sun Limin could only stand aside and laugh, but Fang Ming was not angry. The reason why he shook hands was because the other party was older than him, which was out of respect for the elders.
As for the words of these two people holding guns and carrying sticks, they could not affect his mood at all, but he could understand the mood of these two people.
After working hard for half a lifetime to become an expert, only to be robbed of the chief position by a man in his twenties, how can they be reconciled?
But not being angry doesn't mean that he has to smile and greet people. Since the other person has this attitude, he can just ignore it.
Just because Fang Ming ignored it, it didn't mean that others didn't either. At least Hua Mingming stopped.
"Yes, some people are doing nothing, and a lot of their achievements are not as good as those in their twenties. It's probably because they have lived like dogs in these years."
"How did you talk?"
"Can you speak?"
Yu Haiyang was angered by Zhang Jiangbo and Hua Mingming's words. Didn't Hua Mingming just say that their lives have been in vain all these years?
"I'm just following what you said. Look, you are the one who said you are not as good as Fang Ming. Look at your age and then look at Fang Ming's age. Then you have either lived like a dog or lived like a dog in these years.
Where did it go?"
Hua Mingming didn't care about the snoring and glares from these two people. When it came to swearing, even ten experts couldn't say anything about him.
"Okay, just stop saying a few words."
Ling Chuchu spoke, glanced at Yu Haiyang and the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Two experts, Fang Ming is the chief medicinal expert specially appointed by the headquarters. I hope you can understand."
Yu Haiyang and Zhang Jiangbo didn't speak anymore. They didn't care about Sun Limin, because Sun Limin couldn't control them, but Ling Chuchu was different. As the chairman's niece, they couldn't afford to offend them, at least if they didn't plan to change jobs.
Down.
"Really, what the hell, it's amazing that you are so old, yet you are still here talking with a gun and a stick."
Hua Mingming and Fang Ming walked behind, looking at the figures of Yu Haiyang and Zhang Jiangbo who were walking in the front. Hua Mingming sighed, and Fang Ming on the side smiled. It was good to take Hua Mingming with him.
…
This exchange meeting was very grand. It can be said that the entire Tengchong was centered around this exchange meeting in the past few days. The venue of the exchange meeting was the newly completed national medicinal materials exhibition in Tengchong City.
In order to prevent traffic jams, the Yili Diplomatic Police implemented traffic control. Except for the cars with the guests posted on them, other cars could only go around in detours. The city's police were even mobilized to maintain law and order.
Even the armed police force and fire brigade were on standby to prevent sudden accidents.
When Fang Ming and others got off the bus after arriving at the exhibition, Hua Mingming clicked his tongue and was shocked by the sight in front of him.
"Whose masterpiece is this? The carving looks so similar."
Stepping into the door, everyone's attention was attracted by several huge statues of medicinal materials, Tianqi, ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Ganoderma lucidum...
Sculptures that look as lifelike as real medicinal materials are placed there. Fortunately, they are enlarged versions. If these sculptures were scaled down and placed in the exhibition hall, everyone would almost think they were real.
"Our city government leaders hired several top carving masters and spent more than two years carving this."
A staff member on the side introduced with pride that this conference was their biggest event in Tengchong in the past ten years.
Hua Mingming and Ling Chuchu were immersed in the vividness of these carvings. However, Fang Ming had a thoughtful look on his face and glanced around. What he noticed was the placement of these carvings.
"Nine stars invite the moon, and eight gates govern the mansion. This is a pretty good move."
"What are you talking about from Nine Stars Inviting the Moon and Eight Gates Town Mansion? Fang Ming, what did you say?" Hua Mingming heard Fang Ming's soft words and asked curiously.
"nothing."
Fang Ming shook his head. There were too many people here, so it was difficult to say some things. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the exhibition hall, he would see a Feng Shui bureau, and it was a Feng Shui bureau that was quite elaborate.
"Mysterious."
Hua Mingming curled his lips and was about to speak again, but at this time there was some commotion in the crowd, many exclamations were heard, and more people moved towards the door.
Ling Chuchu and others were also attracted to look towards the door. However, the next moment, Ling Chuchu and others all stared at the boss in shock, looking at the figures who appeared in the direction of the door with expressions of disbelief.
