Power and Wealth

1: 05 p.m.

Out of the Wangfu Hotel, Xie Huilan greeted Dong Xuebin to the car and drove Audi out of the parking lot.

Dong Xuebin, the deputy driver, sat there rigidly, quietly glanced at Xie Huilan, the expression was even more serious, the face of the national color Tianxiang, the status of the central leader, big to the heavenly background, now saw her, Dong Xuebin even dared not laugh, a little lucky, a little sad, thankful that he had saved her life, sad that he took his stockings and drained them, and was also known by others.

Dong Xuebin is in such a complicated mood right now!

A moment of silence in the trunk, Xie Huilan suddenly laughed, “Xiao Dong, what do you usually have in your hobby? ”

Dong Xuebin coughed, “This, I can't talk about hobbies, I just like to visit the antique market and look at the antique collectible shows.” He said something a little more elegant, the interest in playing with computers and watching movies and talking about qq, he felt a little out of place, of course he wouldn't.

“Yo, that's a coincidence. I like to switch glassworks when I'm okay. ”

“Do you like favorites too? ”

“Well, I'm just too busy to understand. ”

“You are so modest, you know exactly what you look like. ”

“Do I have words on my head? How can you tell? Oh...” Xie Huilan pinched the steering wheel in an elegant position, thought about it, suddenly slowed down the speed of the car, "He also said to buy you two clothes as a thank you gift later, since you also like antique play, let's go to the glass factory for a walk, this year the snack street of the factory temple party has moved to the Tao Lan Pavilion, the glass factory should be open as usual, choose an antique play I like to give you, okay? ”

Dong Xuebin hastily refused, “No, really, you just invited me to dinner. ”

“How can a meal compare to a life?” Xie Huilan turned his head forcefully and headed west, giving him no choice. "Listen to me, will you? ”

Stunning, if not successful, Dong Xuebin nodded with a bitter smile.

Before the first two years of Nanxinhua Street, there was a factory temple party in New Year's Eve, turned into a walking street, bus and motor vehicle have to go around, of course, you don't go around and nobody cares about you, as long as you can walk, no ambiguity at all, at that time the factory temple was really a sea of people, the distance between the front and rear left and rear won't be more than one palm, just so crowded, but the two years of snack street moved to Tao Lan Ting Park, leaving only some bookselling distributors, not many people, the car also came in.

West Glass Factory.

Seeing Audi's car stop, Dong Xuebin, who had already untied his seat belt in advance, jumped out of the car and ran to the other side to open the door for Xie Huilan. He also learned the way when Guo Panwei “escorted" himself. He blocked the frame above with his hand and protected Xie Huilan from the car.

Xie Huilan shook his head and smiled, "You. ”

After two days of contact, Dong Xuebin discovered that Xie Huilan loved to smile, bitterly smile, light smile, smile, cold smile, as if all the expressions would show up with a smile, and look very eye-catching, like a woman walking out of an ancient mansion door, each smile has a different charm.

Walking into an antique store, Xie Huilan looked at him, "See if there's anything you like. ”

Dong Xuebin didn't want her to spend money on herself, but she wouldn't give anything away. Xie Huilan probably wouldn't say yes. Therefore, Dong Xuebin stood in front of a wooden exhibition stand after walking around the store, pointing to a sandalwood gourd in the mouth. He knew that this thing should be the cheapest thing in the store. Other porcelain books and drawings are definitely more expensive than it, "Xie Sister, this is good. ”

Xie Huilan laughed, “It's almost past the season of nurturing pixies. Why don't you pick a decent ancient game? ”

Dong Xuebinshan laughed: “I quite like this. ”

“… well.” Xie Huilan asked the owner for a price. When she heard it was 2,000 yuan, she didn't say anything else. She figured out the wallet and paid for it, and then handed it to Dong Xuebin. “... Then she looked at something else. This gift is too thin. ”

“Goodbye, goodbye.” Dong Xuebin is holding a canister, “this is great, Xie Sister, thank you. ”

Helpless smiling, Xie Huilan shook his head, "I knew you wouldn't be able to choose anything. Alas, let's go and see if there was anything decent.” If you want to see Dong Xuebin, Xie Huilan will wave, “won't you buy it? I'll see for myself, you help me with the staff. ”

Dong Xuebin said: "Yes, but I don't think you understand. ”

“Oh, don't hold me back, go. ”

Xi Huilan had a number of shops closed, walked a little, Xie Huilan didn't see what she liked, then the two of them went to Donglu Glass Factory, this side was fine, Xie Huilan just entered the first store and saw the seal of Fangtian Yellowstone, but when asked for the price, more than one million, Xie Huilan shook her head, of course she wouldn't buy it, she didn't want to buy it, but she didn't have that much free money, the deputy bureau level only paid a month?

An hour later, they stood back at the intersection of the East and West Glass Factory.

Xie Huilan looked at the watch and said, "... I won't look anymore. Let's go. I'll take you home. ”

“I dare not, you have picked me up at home… if you are busy, I will take a taxi home myself. ”

“How can that be, eh...” Xie Huilan suddenly glanced at several stalls at the roadside temple club, there were several balloons and marshmallows, and there was a stall full of bottle jars of porcelain, what Kangxi Qinghua, what Min Kiln Bowl, Xie Huilan said with some interest: “Xiao Dong, take a look there with me. ”

“Oh, well.” Dong Xuebin followed.

The stall owner was a 30-year-old young man. As soon as they saw Xie Huilan's style, they immediately straightened their eyes. “What are you two looking at? ”

Xie Huilan's eyes swept around. Shortly after, his gaze fell on a small blue bowl. The bowl was painted with a ruyi cloud head pattern for a week. The bowl belly was painted with a golden colored dragon. He was very cheerful. Xie Huilan took it in his hand and looked at the bottom of the bowl. It was engraved with a dry, long-aged print. It was still an official kiln. Normally you see this kind of official kiln porcelain in a small stall, don't ask, it must be a fake. Such things are rare even at auctions, how can you just follow the street? But there are exceptions to everything, otherwise there won't be so many stories to pick up.

The owner looked at Xie Huilan and said: "I just recovered this bowl from my hometown, official kiln, old things. ”

Xie Huilan put a moment of play in his hand and turned around and smiled: “Xiao Dong, look at this. How are things? ”

Dong Xuebin really knew this bowl, called Qingqinlong Blue Dragon Drawing Bowl. The reason why he knew so clearly is because he worked at an antique play shop in Pan Jiayuan two years ago. The porcelain is a real thing. Although it is not worth much money, Dong Xuebin had studied it several times. Seeing the central leadership address, Dong Xuebin was a little anxious to show himself, so he took the bowl with his hands and looked up and down.

Well, this bowl looks about the same as the china pieces I've seen, and it looks a lot worse.

In color, this bowl appears to be brighter and the glaze is a little brighter. But on the pattern, it looked like it was very similar to the china chip, and the Golden Dragon felt very fine and vivid.

Xie Huilan said: “What do you think? ”

Dong Xuebin sweated for a moment. “Cough, it seems a little smelly, and it doesn't smell like it. I can't say this either. ”

Xie Huilan's side said, "What's the price of this bowl? ”

"'Fifty thousand,' said the host. ”

Xie Huilan shook his head slightly and smiled. “If it was really the official kiln, I'm sure you wouldn't be selling 50,000, cheaper. ”

“This is really old stuff. My ancestors were with Jingli...”

Xie Huilan waved very forcefully and interrupted him, "Let's talk about the price, let's not tell the story, okay? ”

The vendor laughed bitterly: "I have collected more than 40,000 yuan, I really can't make a few bucks, and 50,000 yuan can't be less. ”

“Then forget it. ”

If the bowl is true, it must be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, if the other party sells only a few hundred thousand, it's fine to bet one bet, but the other party's bid is 50,000, 50,000 is not a small number, buying a real Min Kiln porcelain is enough, the surname of the bet is too big, besides, this bowl does look like a fake, and generally makes collectors and even experts look at counterfeit, it's all like a fake, calculated, this blue painted Golden Dragon Bowl may be a fake name 80%, so Xie Huilan put the bowl back.

“Dong, let's go. ”

Dong Xuebin, who did not perform well in front of Xie Huilan, is very depressed. This is how the antique collection works. Even if you have seen the real thing once, even if you know it very well, you may catch him blind when the next same thing appears in front of you. Dong Xuebin is in this situation now. Perhaps because of the different way of preserving it, maybe because it is a fake product, he always feels a little different from the porcelain that he had seen before, but this difference is not enough to judge its authenticity. Alas, alas, alas, if you can look at the section of this bowl, he has seen a section of porcelain that depicts the golden dragon pattern. If you let him see it again, you will surely know it is true. After all, the forger will only do his hands and feet on the exterior of the porcelain, making it infinitely close to the real product, but the tires inside... who cares? Thousands of ways to authenticate porcelain, but no one in the world would break porcelain and authenticate it. What's the point of authenticating it, even if it's true? The porcelain is broken, worth…?

Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin stopped for a moment!

How come no one in the world uses the crazy method of breaking porcelain to authenticate it?

You can do it yourself!!

When he saw the woman go, the young man didn't move, and the stall owner said: “Little brother, look again, this bowl is a genuine official kiln. ”

“Really?” Dong Xuebin held the bowl in his hand again, "let me see. ”

The vendor laughed and said, "Look, just look. ”

Dong Xuebin shouted and lifted his hand. Suddenly, he threw the bowl to the ground with the stare of the stall owner. Clicking, the bowl broke apart.

“What the fuck!” The staller got angry.

Xie Huilan also stunned behind him, "... Xiao Dong! What do you mean?"

Dong Xuebin replied without panic: “Let me see the tire. ”

The stall owner pointed at his nose and yelled, “Everyone saw it! Fifty grand! Give me the money! ”

Ignoring the shouting of the stall owner, ignoring the lively stunner, Dong Xuebin bent over quickly to pick up a piece of porcelain, careful not to let it hold his hand, then gently touched it on its section, felt it, and then took a closer look at the thickness of the cross-sectional glaze and the level of delicacy of the tire.

A moment later, Dong Xuebin looked surprised. By the way, it was all right!

The thickness of the glaze is just right and the texture of the tire is white and delicate. It's not the type of coarse tire used in modern counterfeiting, and the tread feels exactly like the porcelain chip you've seen before!

It's true!

What a fucking kiln!!

Shit, back!

... Today's newly saved back was used by Dong Xuebin!

The picture flashes! Back in time for Xie Huilan to negotiate the price with the vendor!

“This is really old stuff. My ancestors were with Jingli...”

“Let's talk about the price, not the story, okay? ”

“I've collected over 40,000, I can't really make a few bucks, I can't make less than 50,000 cents. ”

“Then forget it.” Xie Huilan gently lowered the bowl, "... Xiao Dong, let's go. ”

Seeing that they didn't buy it, the staller didn't stop it in vain. It was true that he had collected the bowl from his hometown. However, the ancestors of the family were not Jingli's privileges at all, but collected the scrap from the county. He didn't know where to retrieve a bowl from a while ago. He looked highly emulated and bought it for $2200. Their hometown is the birthplace of the forgery, there are more workshops, so he didn't even think it was real, so he wanted to make a price of 50,000 yuan with Jingli to see if he could get it out.

“Sister Xie, wait a minute.” Dong Xuebin called Xie Huilan.

“Hmm?” Xie Huilan turned around.

Dong Xuebin whispered to her: “This bowl is real, you can buy it quickly, definitely not wrong. ”

Xie Huilan smiled slightly. “Didn't you just get it? I don't look real, the glaze is too bright. ”

“Xie, buy it, I won't dare to lie to anyone. ”

“Oh, come on, little director, 50,000 is too expensive. ”

Dong Xuebin was originally trying to sell Xie Huilan a favor, thereby eliminating the embarrassment caused by the stocking incident. It can be seen that Xie Huilan did not listen. Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, knowing that Xie Huilan was a strong woman with particular opinions and very good reading skills in her bones. Her first decision would normally persevere, and no one else would say anything about it, so Dong Xuebin simply wouldn't persuade her, “... If you don't want to, I will pick it up. ”

Xie Huilan looked at him, "So sure? ”

“Very definitely. ”

Xie Huilan nodded.

Dong Xuebin believes in his judgment, unless even the forger perfectly imitates the real product, but this is almost impossible, no one has the spare time. Before he turned around and returned to the stall, he pointed to the stall owner to draw the Golden Dragon Bowl of Clear Dry Ryu Blue, “If you really want to sell, I'll take 40,000, 40,000 a bite, I can't give you any more, I don't have that much money. ”

Once the staller listened, he was happy, "Oops, 40,000 is too little. If you can't, 50,000. ”

"'I told you I don't have that kind of money,' said Dong Xuebin. 'If I can't, I'll leave. ”

The staller hurried and said, “How about 45,000, 45,000?” Seeing him has turned around, the owner simply said: “Forty-two thousand! Never go low again! ”

Dong Xuebin hesitated, “Okay, I'll get you the money. ”

Next door is the Industrial and Commercial Bank. Forty thousand won't have to be booked. Soon he came back with cash and handed it over.

After counting the amount of money, the vendor went mad with joy and carefully gave the bowl to Dong Xuebin. "You should keep this with your home collection. After a few years, you will be allowed to increase the value.” Of course that's not what the owner thinks. Counterfeit antique porcelain from home is usually wholesaled to the capital. Why? Hey, look at this kid. I thought he'd missed it. Don't even think about it. Is it that easy?

With a small bowl of official kiln, Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan left this side together.

“... Xiao Dong, find a place to authenticate?” Xie Huilan smiled and said: “Oh, to be honest, I really don't believe this is the official kiln of Qingqinlong, if you want to tell the truth, you also look at the truth of two or three points. ”

Dong Xuebin hesitated: “This...” He was afraid that if something was true, Xie Huilan's face would look bad, so he didn't want to judge it as authentic in front of the leader.

But Xie Huilan obviously didn't give him a chance to refuse, “Go to Rongbao Jade, big place, have credibility, okay? ”

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly: “Listen to you. ”

Rongbao Jade, probably because of Spring Festival, today's business is not very good, there is virtually no one in the lobby on the ground floor. As soon as Dong Xuebin looked around, he saw a man who looked like an expert, and went to ask him: "Do you guys want to collect the Golden Dragon Bowl of Dry Ryu Blue?” Xie Huilan looked away and listened quietly.

The little old man looked at me and said, "I need to see something. Did you bring it? ”

Dong Xuebin put the small bowl gently on the table. It's called porcelain.

Little old man's fine little eyes looked up, stunned, and then touched the bowl in his hand, flipping back and forth, "Boy, don't worry? I have to take a look at this. ”

Dong Xuebin looked at Xie Huilan.

Xie Huilan smiled. “No rush. ”

Fearing she was tired, Dong Xuebin moved a chair from the side to give it to her. “Sit down, I'll buy you a bottle of water? ”

“No," Xie Huilan said. Sitting down, she laughed. "You can move your chair, too. Don't just stand there. ”

Over there, the little old man took out the magnifying glass and other tools from behind, repeatedly researched them, five minutes later, he removed the presbyopia and rubbed his eyes, then yelled a middle-aged man from upstairs, and then the two explored the research together for a dozen minutes.

Dong Xuebin could wait on his own, but the time of the central leadership was invaluable, so he urged: “Not yet? ”

The old man looked at the middle-aged man and said, "How much do you want to sell? ”

Dong Xuebin shrugged, “... a million. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, “The price is too crooked for the auction. ”

Little old man looks at Dong Xuebin, “... things are good and well kept, but a million will never reach you, you can only give you 600,000. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xie Huilan's eyes narrowed and looked at Dong Xuebin in disguise.

Dong Xuebin's heart is also suddenly happy, haha, he didn't look! What a fucking kiln!

That one million was purely Lion Big Talk, Dong Xuebin didn't want it to sell that much. After this moment, he started bargaining with them and finally reached a price of 700,000. Dong Xuebin did not want to bid backwards at the auction. After all, the seller is not allowed to bid maliciously at the auction according to the regulations. The last time the pearl necklace was auctioned, it happened that Sun teacher used his ID card to register Dong Xuebin for the auction. After the auction, he complained about Dong Xuebin, so it must not be that easy next time, so it should be sold directly now.

“Boy, how do I pay? ”

“... check, right? ”

“Yes, just a moment. ”

With the check, Dong Xuebin was in a great mood. When he thought that Xie Huilan was still here, he hastily collected his favorite color. "Xie Sister, let's split the money between us. If you hadn't found that thing, I wouldn't have picked it up. It was all stained with your light.” He was kind enough to know that Xie Huilan wouldn't want it.

Xie Huilan laughed, "Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong, I didn't know you had this skill? How long have you been a collector? ”

“Hi, I was just lucky to catch up, but you don't know what to do. ”

“Oh, don't kiss your ass, you can buy that bowl without hesitation and without hesitation, you know it's real, I can't compare to your eyes.” Xie Huilan had to re-measure Dong Xuebin, his lips smiled, "... If I go back to the antique store in the future, I might have to take you with me. ”

Dong Xuebinxin said that as long as you don't pursue the stockings, you let me go with you wherever I want.

... At 4pm, Dong Xuebin deposited the check for 700,000 yuan into the bank, and he was scared by his total assets - two million yuan! That's two million!

After wiping the sweat, he immediately called Yunxuan, “Aunt Xuan, I just missed another porcelain. ”

"... what? Did you pick it up again? How can you keep picking up leaks? ”

Dong Xuebin: “Hey, we made 700,000 this time, we already have two million. ”

Yunxuan: “………"

“I thought about it, I still can't put that much money on my account, in case someone checks it out... Well, it's better for you. I'll send all the money to your account later, and I'll put it there when I make money. You can keep both of our money at your disposal. If you want to start a company, the more we make, okay?” At the end of the sentence, Dong Xuebin Khan learned Xie Huilan's tone.

“... earned another $700,000? ”

“Oh, you'll find out when you check the account. ”

“... you stink! You're good! Auntie, come back tomorrow to celebrate! ”

“Uh, celebrating with the movie theater? ”

“Die! ”
