Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Chapter 1218 Shengjing Antique City

The third generation eldest grandson of the Zhang family is over 30 years old, and he also works in auditing in the government. Although this position is very important, they all have to make ends meet, and it is really difficult to get promoted quickly in this system.

Unlike the cousin of Aunt Li Mo's family, after Li Mo's many operations, he was responsible for important projects wherever he went. It can be said that he has achieved fruitful results, is very valuable, and has outstanding political achievements.

So every time he was transferred was a promotion in disguise. Even if he was promoted half a level each time, on average he would be transferred once every year or two, and the upgrade speed would be terrifying.

Countless people one or two years older than him may still be office clerks, doing nothing every day, but he is already a full-time student. Li Mo asked him to settle down in Suzhou for two years, work hard, and have a bright future.

Zhang Mingzhi was very moved. He was the eldest grandson. It should be said that he was the first person to be well-educated, but with his character and ability, he really couldn't get on the stage.

Mr. Zhang and his two sons looked at each other. Li Mo's proposal was very good. Once the world's largest museum of Southeast Asian culture and art is completed, it will directly open up the economic channel between Shanghai and Zhejiang. This is the so-called alliance of powerful forces. .

Therefore, those who can be selected to participate only need to complete their duties in a down-to-earth manner, and then wait for political achievements to be obtained.

"Mr. Li, I wonder who is responsible for the big project to open up the economic corridor between the two places?"

Zhang Mingzhi asked aloud. It was one thing that he wanted to go, but if there was no one to help him after he went there, he would probably be restricted in every way when he got there. Then forget about it and start over in a strange place. It’s better not to go there and save yourself a lot of fuss.

Besides, he already has a wife and children, so it's not easy to take them with him.

"The Fang family in Kyoto is very discerning. While others are rushing to go to Suzhou, the Fang family is quietly running another important project."

As soon as the Zhang family heard this, they understood that Li Mo must be secretly guiding him behind the incident. To open up the economic corridor between the two places is not as simple as just building a Southeast Asian culture and art museum, but to re-plan a new city around this mega project to spread the economic circle even wider.

What a great gesture, but it's a pity that he himself is not interested in entering the system.

"Mr. Li, I will think about it carefully."

As soon as Zhang Mingzhi said these words, Mr. Zhang's eyes suddenly showed disappointment. When encountering such an opportunity, anyone who still has some lofty ambitions in their heart will definitely make a decision immediately. There is no need to think carefully about this. This is giving up the best opportunity in life.

Zhang Tie'an also sighed secretly, this is what his nephew will do in his life. It is said that wealth can last only three generations. In ten or twenty years from now, only the Yunli branch of the Zhang family may be able to sustain it.

"Mr. Zhang, the dinner is ready and can begin."

A nanny came over and said respectfully.

"Okay, Xiao Mo, let's try some authentic Northeastern cuisine when we get to Fengtian."

Northeastern cuisine is all meat and oil. Li Mo used to eat a lot of things like pickled cabbage stewed with big stick bones, and imperial iron pot stewed old goose. But what he eats is slightly modified, which may be more suitable for their southern tastes.

As soon as the century-old antique wine is opened, the rich aroma of the wine makes people take a few more breaths. Yun Li did not come to the restaurant to eat because she was pregnant. Before sitting down, Li Mo picked her several dishes on a clean plate and brought them to the living room.

"Yunli, eat more."

"Thank you brother, it's just too much."

"I'm not asking you to eat everything. You can eat as much as you can."

When the Zhang family saw this scene, they were filled with emotion. The brothers and sisters were already satisfied with what they had achieved. I really hoped that the three generations of Zhang family brothers and sisters could also have such a relationship.

Li Mo didn't drink. He toasted several elders with tea instead of wine. Zhang's family also knows that he is a good drinker, so they don't have any special thoughts about him not drinking.

After the dinner, Li Mo and the Zhang family chatted for a while and then left. They stayed at a nearby five-star hotel, which Yun Li had already booked for them.

After sending Li Mo away, Mr. Zhang sat silently on the sofa in the living room. His two sons didn't look very good either. The four young people of the third generation looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

After a long time, Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Mingren and said, "You have always wanted to enter the system. Do you still have this idea now?"

Zhang Mingren pointed to his nose and asked in surprise: "Ask me?"

"Then who do you think you're asking?"

Zhang Mingren glanced at Zhang Mingzhi next to him, and then said: "Grandpa, I still want to, but there are no good opportunities in Fengtian."

Mr. Zhang turned to look at his two sons: "What do you think?"

The boss said in a deep voice: "If Mingzhi can't support the Zhang family, just let him be. Mingren has been fooling around in the past two years after graduation. Since he still intends to enter the system, let him give it a try. Maybe he can get out." There’s a new road.”

Zhang Tie'an said hesitantly: "How about giving Mingren a chance."

Mr. Zhang sighed and said in an ironic tone: "What kind of person is Li Mo? Since he took the initiative to bring this up in front of us, it means that as long as he says hello, Mingzhi can directly Transfer over. What he wants is Mingzhi's attitude and determination, but it's a pity that he missed such a good opportunity. Think about this nonsense, you have time to think about it, Li Mo doesn't have time to play with him yet."

Zhang Mingzhi's face turned pale at this moment, and he only realized it at this moment. He thought it was normal for him to think about it, but he didn't expect that when Li Mo raised that matter, it was an assessment of him.

Unfortunately, he failed the interview.

Hesitant and undecided, this kind of person is unlikely to succeed.

"Grandpa, are you telling me to go to the Magic City?" Zhang Mingren still looked a little unconvinced.

"Didn't you just go to college in Shanghai? You're familiar with it. I'm going to put my old face on it this time and get you there. You're more capable than your elder brother. Who will you team up with when you get there? You know in your heart that as long as you don’t touch things you shouldn’t touch and do your job well, I believe you will have a better future.”

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. I know clearly what I can do and what I can't do."

"Okay, that's it for tonight. You all go back and rest. Li Mo will most likely not leave tomorrow. I'll talk to him again."

After Mr. Zhang said this, he looked at Shi Yunli. It would be better if his granddaughter-in-law helped with this matter.

Shengjing Antique City in Fengtian has been around for some years and is located near the antique street in front of the bustling Forbidden City. This place was originally located in a narrow alley, full of stalls and crowded with people. After being noisy, the relevant departments moved it indoors for business.

The Antique City is adjacent to the Huaiyuan Gate of the old city gate. There are many antique buildings around it, with carved beams and painted beams, and high hanging lanterns. Even if you don't enter the antique shops, you will feel a strong antique atmosphere when you are in them.

"Master, I didn't know that there was also a Forbidden City here." Yan Yangyang looked at the style of the antique city's towers, which were very ancient in the Qing Dynasty. The appearance looked similar to those old courtyard houses in Kyoto.

"It was here that Nurhaci established the Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji ascended the throne here. It was not until Emperor Shunzhi moved the capital to the capital that it became the capital. Later emperors such as Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong would come here to worship their ancestors."

"This is the birthplace of the Dragon Vein of the Qing Dynasty, so it is normal to have the Forbidden City here. In terms of collections, apart from the museums in Kyoto, the museums here have the largest collection of antique cultural relics from the Qing Dynasty and are of high quality."

"No, our Gu Yunxuan Museum has the largest collection of Qing Dynasty antiques, and there are countless rare treasures."

Yan Yangyang said proudly.

Li Mo smiled: "I'm talking about the comparison between the two national museums."

Yan Yangyang looked at Li Mo: "Master, can others recognize you like this?"

"Shou Tou and I are your bodyguards. We just don't interrupt or talk. There are many people who look alike in the world. Besides, don't I just put on some makeup?"

"Well, it's time to test the eyesight of those antique shop owners."

There are quite a lot of people in the Antique City today. The street stalls outside are just like Panjiayuan and Liulichang in Kyoto. Wherever you look, there are many people who come here to pick and choose in front of the street stalls. There is also a huge billboard erected on the archway of Shengjing Antique City, which says, "The second floor is mainly engaged in antique calligraphy and painting, jewelry coins, stamps, badges, jade agate, jade and porcelain, etc., as well as red collections, folk customs collections, etc." , Judging from this billboard, the scale of Shengjing Antique City is really big, and the types inside are also very rich.

"Master, we went shopping outside first, and then went directly into various shops in the antique city. I think there should be more varieties on the second floor."

Yan Yangyang's eyes were twinkling. She had accompanied Li Mo on a shopping trip to the antique city before, and she had made a lot of gains. Today she hoped to have the opportunity to come across one or two very rare antiques.

"We are bodyguards, you can make your own decision."

Li Mo mainly wanted to test her more.

"Then we will go from outside to inside, from the first floor to the second floor, and try to visit the entire Shengjing Antique City today."

There were a lot of street stalls, and there were people on site who were dedicated to filming live broadcasts. Such a lively scene of people coming and going was indeed quite attractive to netizens.

Li Mo pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and pushed his duck-bill hat down. Because he was wearing all black, he was still quite hot after standing in the sun for a long time.

The stalls on both sides of the road Yan Yangyang chose mainly sell porcelain, as well as jade, sculptures, coins, etc. She walked in front, while Li Mo and Sha Tou were two steps behind, their eyes also scanning the stall.

There are many types of porcelain, but there are very few good ones or things that catch the eye. The three of them walked more than ten meters without stopping. Suddenly, Yan Yangyang in front squatted down, reached out and picked up a dazzlingly glazed plate from the stall. She looked at it for a while and then asked: "Boss, how do you sell this plate?"

The street stall owner is a fat woman in her forties. She said very enthusiastically: "Sister, this plate is a doucai plate made in Chenghua. The price is not low. If you really like it, just give it 88,000 yuan." "

Shaver's head and brows twitched slightly. That plate was really worth 88,000. It's strange that the boss could place it so casually.

Li Mo just watched a good show and smiled without saying a word. Although Yan Yangyang is young, she is experienced in many battles. She put the plate back and smacked her lips and said: "Boss, do you have any basis for this price of 88,000?"

"Didn't you see the deposit just now? Made in Chenghua, it's antique porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. I don't want more than 88,000." The fat boss explained calmly.

"As far as I know, if it is really the Chenghua Dou color plate, this one is worth at least eight million. If you sold it to me for eighty-eight thousand, you would be at a loss and you wouldn't even know the east, west, south, and west."

The fat boss was stunned and stuttered: "Then how do I know? I just know it is Chenghua Doucai. Sister, if you like it, you can make a counter-offer."

"One thousand and five, I'll take it away."

Yan Yangyang repaid the price categorically.

"Sister, you bargained too hard. I lost one thousand and fifty yuan and didn't even get my money back. If you sincerely want to buy it, if you give me three thousand yuan, I won't bargain with you anymore."

"Ha, when you put it like that, I'm afraid this plate is just a modern handicraft. If it is a modern handicraft, such a plate can cost a few hundred yuan at most, and one thousand and fifty is far from worth it. The most I can bid now is eight hundred, which is one cent more. No money required.”

"Sister, you can look around again. No street stall has as good porcelain as mine. You go shopping first and then come back. If the Chenghua Dou color plate is still there, I can still transfer it to you."

The fat boss could keep his composure and just let Yangyang wander around first and let her compare on her own.

Yan Yangyang did not leave, but thought for a moment before saying, "Three thousand is definitely not enough, it's not worth the price."

"That thousand and a half is too little. I can't even get my money back."

The attitude of the fat boss is: either you leave or you raise the price.

"Boss, I'll give you a flat price of two thousand. If you agree, I'll take it away. If you don't agree, I'll use two thousand to buy it at other stalls."

Yan Yangyang was about to leave, and the fat boss quickly stopped her: "Sister, don't wait before leaving. We are also very fateful today, and this Chenghua Dou color plate belongs to you."

"Pay."

Yang Yang waved to Li Mo, who took out a wad of money from his shoulder bag, then counted out twenty and handed it to the boss. After making a deal, the fat boss was overjoyed. He protected the plates for Li Mo and the others, then handed them to Li Mo and said, "I still have a lot of good things on my stall. If you pick more, you might like them." Of."

"Let's go."

Yan Yangyang turned and left, Sha Tou and Li Mo quickly followed.

"Miss Yangyang, can I ask you a question? What is the difference between doucai and pastel?"

Sha Tou asked in a low voice.

"Doucai is a firing process invented during the Ming Dynasty. It is a collection of underglaze colors and upper right colors. To put it simply, the blue and white are first fired on the porcelain body, and then the blue and white are fired again in the blank space of the blue and white. The glaze color is applied first, and then fired into shape. The fired porcelain is bright and dazzling in color. This is the biggest difference in the craftsmanship between doucai and pastel."

"The most famous Doucai porcelain is the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup. Now it is estimated that if it goes to auction, it may fetch two to three billion, which is very valuable. So if the plate we found is really successful, The starting price for the Hua Dou Cai Plate is eight million, and the transaction will be even higher."

Sha Tou asked curiously: "Since it's not Chenghua Doucai, then why are you buying it?"

"This Doucai plate should be an imitation of Hua Doucai from the mid-Qing Dynasty. Although it is also an imitation, it is an imitation of the porcelain from the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. It also has a certain collection value. It can be sold for three to four hundred thousand yuan if resold. "
