I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

Under the recommendation of Mr. Zhi, Ji Sheng met Expert Zhu.

He is a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s, wearing a pair of glasses and not very tall, but he looks energetic.

in the office.

Ji Sheng stretched out his hand to say hello, "Mr. Zhu, my name is Ji Sheng."

Expert Zhu pushed the glasses frame, "Mr. Ji, hello, I have a little impression of you."

Old Man Zhi who was sitting on the sofa asked curiously, "Xiao Zhu, do you know him?"

Expert Zhu said with a smile: "Mr. Ji has gone to our cultural relics store to buy things several times, and each time he paid a lot of money to buy them. It's hard not to remember."

sweat.

That's what happened.

On the contrary, Ji Sheng didn't have much impression of Expert Zhu. He was only interested in picking out antiques at the time, so who would pay attention to people?

Old Man Zhi said cheerfully: "It's good to have an impression, Xiao Zhu, Xiao Ji is my great benefactor. As for him, he prefers to play with collections. I want you to be an appraisal expert for him for a few days. Do you think it's okay?"

"It's not okay for others to say this, but it's okay for you to keep talking." Expert Zhu respects Mr. Zhi very much.

Ji Sheng quickly took the opportunity to say: "Thank you Mr. Zhu, thank you old man."

"You're welcome." Expert Zhu responded politely.

Mr. Zhi waved his hand and said, "Stop pretending to be polite to me, boy, what should you do? Oh, by the way, bring talented people. His level of porcelain may be even higher than Xiao Zhu's. "

I wish the expert was not angry at all when he heard this, but asked curiously, "Is You your son? Has he received the true biography of Mrs. Zhi?"

Ji Sheng guessed that the Old Master Zhi that Zhu Zhu talked about was probably the father of Mr. Zhi.

Sure enough, old man Zhi smacked his lips and said: "Well, when I was arrested for some reason in the early years, this kid learned porcelain appreciation from my father for ten years, but it's a pity that I prefer calligraphy and painting, but my father's porcelain I didn’t learn much about appreciation, alas, this talented kid is very smart, but he was spoiled by my father and mother later, and he refused to learn calligraphy and painting appreciation from me at all.”

"If he is as good at appreciating calligraphy and painting as you are, I would invite him to be an expert in our store." Expert Zhu said with a smile.

Ji Sheng was speechless for a while, thinking that you are poaching people in front of your buddies.

Several people are chatting.

Zhi Youcai just walked to the door, and when he heard Expert Zhu's words, he snorted and said, "Who will go to your ruined cultural relics store? I am paid more than 100 yuan a month in the company, and the boss even made me the maintenance team leader. Help me pay insurance or something, is it so good to go to your place?"

Occupational pension insurance started in [-], but at that time it was the pension insurance for contract workers. In [-], the state introduced the occupational pension insurance for enterprises. Although many private companies currently do not pay employees Insurance, but Ji Sheng came from the modern society, so he must consider his employees, so he paid the insurance naturally.

The expert Zhu was surprised for a while and said, "Your private company pays you so well? Did you pay the insurance?"

Ji Sheng smiled and said, "Employees are the primary productivity of the company, so of course I have to treat them well."

The expert wished to show admiring eyes, "Mr. Ji is indeed a conscientious entrepreneur, worthy of admiration."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ji Sheng, Expert Zhu, and Zhi Youcai walked and chatted, and went downstairs to take a car.

When he saw Ji Sheng driving an Audi car, Expert Zhu showed envy again. Although he was the general manager of the cultural relics store and he also had a car, it was a public car and sometimes it couldn't be used.

Ji Sheng also noticed this, thinking in his heart, if this wishing expert is really high level, should he find a way to recruit it for his own use.

In the 80s, many people didn’t understand antiques or not, and sometimes sold them as junk, but Ji Sheng actually didn’t understand antiques at all. Although he has worked hard to learn, this thing can’t be learned in a day or two, and he still has a business. Be busy, it will be much easier if you have a powerful connoisseur to collect collections for yourself.

But since Expert Zhu is the general manager of the cultural relics store and holds a solid job, it may be difficult to recruit him.

Let's see what this person is like first.

Ji Sheng drove the car calmly, and soon came to the cultural relics store.

……

In the heritage store.

As soon as a few people walked in, the staff inside said hello.

"Best wishes."

"General manager, didn't you ask for leave? Why are you here again?"

Four or five staff members asked curiously.

Expert Zhu waved his hand with a smile, and said, "I'll accompany my friends to look at the antiques, and you can go on your own."

A few people said nothing more and went back to their posts.

Only then did Expert Zhu look at Ji Sheng, "Mr. Ji, what kind of antique do you want to buy? I can recommend it to you."

What kind of antiques do you want to buy?

Ji Sheng knew that the other party was the general manager of the cultural relics store, and he must know everything about the cultural relics store here, but he really hadn't thought about what kind of antiques he wanted to buy.

According to previous experience, calligraphy, painting and porcelain are the easiest to sell at high prices.

In his heart, Ji Sheng prefers to buy antique calligraphy, paintings or porcelain, but the last time he sold Su Quan and others’ seals from the Jiaqing period reminded him that in the current time and space, it is possible to buy the same ones as in modern society, especially It is calligraphy and painting in modern times, and this thing has the greatest possibility of crashing into a car.

He thought for a while and replied: "I am more inclined to antiques such as porcelain, miscellaneous items, and gems. As for calligraphy and paintings, I am not so keen. Of course, if there are high-quality goods, I should also buy them."

"Porcelain miscellaneous items." Expert Zhu pondered for a moment, and said honestly: "In fact, the possibility of buying excellent porcelain in cultural relics stores is relatively small, because we don't sell precious things to the public, such as..."

As he said that, Expert Zhu pointed to the big bucket color bottle that Ji Sheng had seen last time, "This large bucket-shaped bottle made during the Qianlong period with the addition of pastel colors and dark eight immortals, blessings and longevity patterns, belongs to the high-quality goods. You basically buy it." No, not only can’t buy it here, you can’t buy it in any cultural relic store.”

Ji Sheng blinked and asked: "You mean, as long as the antiques reach the precious level of this dark eight immortals bottle, it is impossible to buy them in cultural relics stores."

"Yes, if you want to get a treasure of this level, you can only rely on picking up the leaks." Expert Zhu said without any concealment.

Ji Sheng was disappointed when he heard it. He originally wanted to get a baby of this level to make a name for his company in the modern society, but now it seems impossible, "Then where is the chance to catch the leak?"

Expert Zhu thought for a while and said, "I heard that Panjiayuan in the capital often has opportunities to pick up leaks."

Panjiayuan is almost jokingly called a fake market in modern society.

But now it is the 80s, Panjiayuan has not established a special market, but farmers in nearby counties and some vendors who collect second-hand goods and waste products often go there to set up stalls, like a flea market, selling some old and second-hand goods. .

Due to the cheapness of things, some people can find antiques from time to time, so they spread the word about it and attracted many people.

Now it can only be said that it has begun to take shape.

Seems like a good place to pick up leaks.

Ji Sheng thought in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Why don't I ask someone to buy a plane ticket later, and we fly there overnight?"

"That's fine." Expert Zhu said with a smile: "Anyway, I took a week off, and I have time to wander around with you."

Ji Sheng promised: "I will definitely give you a big red envelope later."

"Hehe, money or not is a trivial matter, it mainly depends on Professor Zhi's face." Expert Zhu said so, but he did not refuse the big red envelope.

On the contrary, Zhi Youcai was a little excited when he heard that he was going to the capital.

Ji Sheng said: "Then I won't look around, Zhu experts, you can recommend to me the high-quality porcelain and miscellaneous items that can be sold in your store, okay?"

"can."

Expert Zhu walked over to a red porcelain bowl that was turned upside down and looked like a bowl, pointing and said: "This Qing Kangxi Cowpea Red Taibai Zun is not bad. Light grass border; short neck and shoulders, bulging belly in a hemispherical shape, with three groups of Chilong dark patterns engraved on the abdomen, and the dragon pattern is clear. The bottom shallow ring foot is trimmed and rounded, and the fetal texture is white and firm. The characters are written in three lines of regular script, and the strokes of the characters are full of spirit, and every setback can be seen in the rules."

Ji Sheng walked over to see that it was really the case, he asked curiously: "This thing looks pretty good, is it precious?"

"Of course it's really expensive." Zhi Youcai smacked his lips, "The Taibai Zun was a famous study product newly created in the Kangxi Dynasty. The cowpea red glaze is the most famous.”

Expert Zhu took the conversation and said: "Yes, cowpea red is the most precious variety in Kangxi red glaze. Because the copper red glaze applied is sensitive and variable, it is very difficult to fire, so it is only produced in small quantities by official kilns and is only used by the court. , and there are no large utensils, its color is half natural, and spots of different shades often appear, as the so-called "spots covered with moss, floating in the spring waves of peach blossoms" and "incomparably shiny, living between fresh and dark, wonderful It’s hard to describe, but you can see that the surface of the glaze is slightly red with obvious characteristics. There are very few cowpea red glaze ware handed down to the present, and most of them were scattered abroad in the early years.”

When Ji Sheng heard that it was so precious, he estimated that it would be at least a million-level treasure in the modern society. As for the exact number of W, he was not sure. He looked at the price tag and said without hesitation: "Three thousand foreign exchange certificates? I didn't bring it with me. By the side of the foreign exchange certificate, can I give the soft girl banknotes directly?"

"It's definitely not okay to ask someone else to bring you here, but who asked me to bring you here? I'm also doing favoritism." Expert Zhu joked, and then called the staff to fetch the porcelain for Ji Sheng.

Ji Sheng bought it at 30.00% of the floating price of the foreign exchange certificate.

When paying the money, he couldn't help but take another look at Expert Zhu. He had to say that Expert Zhu just talked a little bit about this Taibai Zun, and he showed his knowledge to the fullest. This person is indeed very accomplished!

Ji Sheng decided on the idea of ​​recruiting Expert Zhu, but he couldn't think of how to persuade him for a while.
