  This short, fat man in his forties is named Chen Manguan. His name has a good meaning, but it’s a pity that he has encountered a low point now.

  Chen Manguan came from a rural family. He was from a poor family in his early years. He went to work in the city when he was a teenager. He was an apprentice in the antique industry. With his studious, diligence and willingness to endure hardship, he was quickly applauded and promoted by his boss. Coupled with his loyalty and enthusiasm, he has built a good relationship with each other over time.

  In the early 1980s, the owner of this antique shop was taken over by his children to settle in the United States, and the antique shop was handed over to others. Chen Manguan had long thought of doing it alone, but he was very kind and loyal, and felt that the boss was kind to him, so he just stayed in the store. Now that the boss is living abroad, Chen Manguan naturally has no grievances with him for the new boss. This is how he resigned from the antique industry and started working alone.

  In the antique industry these years, even if he was taken care of by his boss, Chen Manguan did not accumulate a lot of money and did not have the funds to open an antique shop. In desperation, he had to act as a runway in the antique market, that is, the middleman. Introduce Runzou among antique buyers and sellers, and raise some facilitation fees as a transaction. With his contacts accumulated over the years and his precise vision of antiques, he did not expect to have accumulated a wealth of wealth in just three years. Since then, he has officially opened an antique shop in the city.

  Business was doing well, and Chen Manguan soon became the vice chairman of the East City Antiques Chamber of Commerce, and became a famous antique dealer in the East City and even in the country.

  The bigger the business, the bigger the heart. In addition to being flattered and sought after these years, Chen Manguan's mentality has gradually become a little impetuous. After 1992, the national policy changed and the economy began to vigorously develop. Some foreign friends came to China to negotiate investment, and some of them had a keen interest in domestic antiques. However, the country has strict controls on the export of cultural relics, strict declaration procedures, and old historical value, even if they are declared, they are not allowed to be exported.

  But the price of cultural relics in overseas markets is much higher than that in China. This is a piece of fat. Chen Manguan wanted to swallow it, so he moved his mind and started a business of smuggling cultural relics.

  This illegal trade Chen Manguan was naturally cautious in doing it. After doing a few times, he was safe and sound. He tasted the great sweetness and Chen Manguan's courage was also let go.

Three years ago, a batch of cultural relics worth more than one billion left the country. The route that had been safe after several times was met with a firefight. Not only was the delivery guy dead, even the cultural relics were broken into pieces. .

  Chen Manguan lost his fortune all at once. Fortunately, he has been cautious about smuggling in the past few years. Although he has been investigated, the matter has not been overlooked, which saved him from a prison sentence. But facing a large amount of compensation, he actually got into the situation of borrowing money everywhere. But how can anyone lend him money at this time? From a well-known rich antique dealer in Dongshi to a pauper, business friends began to avoid seeing him for various reasons, and the city officials even put on a lieutenant prestige and became an official voice. Even the relatives who have benefited a lot from him over the years have begun to speak indifferently.

   ridiculed, rolled his eyes, pointed, and the human relationship is cold and the world is cold, so Chen Manguan has tasted it all over the past three years.

   encountered a downturn in his career, only the wretched wife who had walked with him from a difficult time could not help comforting him, and even endured the provocation and accusation from his natal family, borrowed money to support his comeback, and never said a word of complaint. Seeing his wife like this, thinking about how he has made a fortune over the years, and being coldly affiliated with his wife after seeing the world, Chen Manguan is ashamed. He once disliked that his wife was not beautiful enough, her figure was not slender enough, and her education level was not high. He knew nothing about antiques, and had no common language with him. He has been socializing outside these years and faced the temptation of young and beautiful women. Although he finally took hold and did not do anything to sorry his wife, it is also true that he has become more and more indifferent to his wife in his heart.

  After going through big ups and downs, and warm and cold, Chen Manguan saw a lot of things at once. He didn't say anything to his wife, but secretly made up his mind to make a comeback and let his wife enjoy the peace for the rest of his life!

   After this, Chen Manguan began to run into the antique market again, but his business friends avoided him. The interpersonal relationship was useless, and the middleman who wanted to return to the runway had no capital. So he had to put his mind on picking up the leaks, after all, his eyesight and experience are still very rich over the years.

  But it is not easy for him to pick up the leaks. After all, in the East City antiques industry these years, there is no one who does not know him. Although he is in despair, his eyesight is there. Therefore, as long as it is an object he is fond of, the stall owner will always have to look at it several times, and finally find a reason not to sell it, because he is afraid of selling it.

   Later, in desperation, Chen Manguan had to go outside to buy a few laymen, he was responsible for watching, and then asked the laymen to come in and buy. After three years, this has yielded some gains. But it wasn't much, and the money earned had lost the funeral expenses, and now he still has no net worth.

  On this day, he was walking around the market as usual, and the blue and white market on Zhao Mingjun’s stall caught his attention.

  There are no authoritative experts in the appraisal of Yuan blue and white flowers in China. The main reason is that too few Yuan blue and white flowers have been unearthed and there is insufficient research on them. Even if the real blue and white flowers are in front of them, I am afraid that experts will have to go through intense discussions before they can make judgments. Therefore, Chen Manguan was not sure of his own eyesight either, he still didn't show it, only glanced at it and left.

  This time Chen Manguan didn't let the layman come in and buy it, but instead thought of someone.

  This man is the master of Hong Kong's collection industry, Mr. Li Boyuan. On the occasion of the return of Hong Kong, Mr. Li was invited to the East City to repair an official kiln and several civilian kilns left in the East City in ancient times, and invest in the ceramic industry. Li Boyuan loves collecting porcelain, especially blue and white porcelain. He even opened a private collection in Hong Kong to display the blue and white porcelain he bought from overseas and domestic. Therefore, he is undoubtedly an authoritative expert in blue and white porcelain.

  The blue and white market, Chen Manguan could not guarantee that it was authentic, and he did not believe in his luck, so he made up his mind.

He wanted to invite Li Boyuan to give his hand. Even if the market was fake, he still had to let the people in the East Market know that Chen Manguan could still invite the leading collectors in Hong Kong. Secondly, it would be kind to invite Li Lao to himself. As he walked around the antique market, he might be able to open up some contacts. In case the big market is true, even though he will lose some money in terms of money, but he is bought by Mr. Li, he is also regarded as an intermediary, and the intermediary fee will not be low, and this favor is also considered to be sold.

  Chen Manguan felt that this was a decision that was beneficial to him, whether it was true or not, so he looked for the hotel where Mr. Li stayed, saying that there was a suspected Yuan Qinghua market and asked Mr. Li to help him. Sure enough, as soon as Li Boyuan heard this, he agreed to go with him at that time, and the two came to the antique market.

  But who thought, just when Chen Manguan respectfully brought Li Boyuan to Zhao Mingjun’s booth, the big market was gone!
