Antique Dealer

Chapter 156
Fang Hao asked: "Old Wang, do you still remember what she bought?"

Now that we can't see the real thing, we can only find out what Liang Yuwen is hiding from the type and name of the thing.

"Let me think about it."

Shopkeeper Wang went to get a pen and paper while recalling, and wrote down: "Basically, that's it. Fortunately, it hasn't been long, so I can still remember."

Fang Hao took a look at the list, and they were all relatively common things, such as large blue and white character bowls, green glaze brush washers, Xiuyu bracelets, there are many types, but they are not worth much.

It can also be seen from this that Zhao Lei doesn't have any purpose in buying antiques. He just buys what he thinks is good. Such behavior will basically not achieve any success in the antique business.

"Hey, why is there still a soul bottle from the Southern Song Dynasty?" Fang Hao was a little surprised.

The soul bottle is a kind of ghost vessel. Some people think that the soul bottle is for placing the ashes. In fact, it is called the Guiyi bottle. It evolved from the early barn and was also used to hold carbonized grains. "The Barn".

Specifically in the Song Dynasty, it had two main functions. The first was to suppress tombs, which I believe everyone can understand; the second was to attract souls.

Influenced by Buddhist culture at that time, people in the Song Dynasty believed that they might enter reincarnation after death, or be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.If there is no guide to lead the way, most of the ghosts will be in a state of confusion, resulting in the inability to reincarnate smoothly, ascend to heaven, or die in bliss.

Therefore, the ancients built a divine bird on the top of the soul bottle, allowing the divine bird to guide the ghosts and help them enter a better world.

In the market, although there are cases of high prices for soul bottles, domestic collectors are more taboo because of its special purpose, and many of them are of low value, especially the one collected by Zhao Lei, which was only sold by shopkeeper Wang for 300 yuan.

A soul bottle of this quality, unless Zhao Lei didn't know it and was deceived, it would be difficult to have a reason to buy it. The key point is that Liang Yuwen also bought it, so she doesn't know the function of the soul bottle?

Of course, considering that if Liang Yuwen doesn't understand antiques, it's normal if she doesn't know the meaning of the soul bottle, but if she doesn't understand antiques, why would she buy these?Is it for the memory of Zhao Lei?

Don't be kidding, even dating is sneaky, for fear of being found out by others, how could it be because of missing Zhao Lei!

Fang Hao asked: "Old Wang, do you think she knows what the soul bottle is for?"

"I know." Shopkeeper Wang said: "At that time she asked me how much the 'soul bottle' was, and I replied with a smile, 'Little girl still knows about the soul bottle'."

Fang Hao thought for a while, called Zhao Xiaorui, and asked about Liang Yuwen's situation.

"interesting!"

A young girl who never mentioned any knowledge of antiques in front of her friends actually knew what a soul bottle was, and even sneaked here to buy Zhao Lei's collection, Fang Hao had to think about it.

Fang Hao learned about the details of the transaction with Liang Yuwen from shopkeeper Wang, and then told Wei Luoyin the news.

Fang Hao thanked: "Old Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "I'm sorry, you just said that we are friends, not to mention you let me avoid punching eyes! Speaking of which, today's liars are ghosts and ghosts, and they know that they can't be deceived without some tricks." There are people."

Fang Hao smiled and reminded: "Actually, I have a question. Will the average liar invest so much? Or, after he succeeds today, there will be follow-ups."

"Hey, what you said is right!" Shopkeeper Wang frowned and said, "Could it be that someone wants to mess with me!"

Fang Hao said: "This is just my guess. After all, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to guard against others."

"You're right." Shopkeeper Wang said, "To tell you the truth, I provoked two enemies yesterday, both of whom are outright villains. Maybe the liar just now was instructed by them. If I were Lied to, it is a trivial matter, they are likely to add fuel to the scene, causing a disturbance in the city."

Shopkeeper Wang briefly explained the process of his feud with Xu Qi and Zhao Hulu: "These two guys have been stealing and playing tricks to earn other people's money. I didn't expect that someone could pick up the big leak from them. It's really happy! I'm now I just want to meet that master, and express my admiration in person!"

Fang Hao felt secretly refreshed when Shopkeeper Wang praised him so much, he touched his nose: "The person you are talking about should be me."

"what!"

Shopkeeper Wang stared blankly at Fang Hao, he was still wondering just now, a young man appeared before and picked up a big leak from Xu Qi and the others, and Fang Hao in front of him helped him avoid another eye punch. Are people so powerful?

After a long time, it turned out to be the same person!
After a while, he came back to his senses, and enthusiastically shook Fang Hao's hand: "I didn't expect to be face to face with an expert, forgive me for being blind!"

Fang Hao said with a smile: "Old Wang, you are so polite, I won't dare to come next time! Besides, I just read a few more books, good luck, really In terms of experience, we still have to learn from your seniors, and we can communicate more and make progress together in the future."

Fang Hao's modesty greatly increased the favor of shopkeeper Wang. He laughed and said yes repeatedly.

"By the way, I have to remind you about something. I passed by Xu Qi's shop yesterday, and I saw them discussing something by chance. Xu Qi was holding a string of bracelets that looked like agarwood. Zhao Hulu looked at it. They look very proud, I suspect they are up to something, based on what I know about them, you'd better be careful..."

Fang Hao learned that this was before shopkeeper Wang said that he had picked up the big leak, that is to say, Zhao Hulu and the others didn't know about the treasure at that time.If they were discussing digging a hole for him, it means that these two people are more greedy than Fang Hao imagined, and what kind of moth will come out later!
Thanks to shopkeeper Wang's reminder, he was mentally prepared.

In addition, Qian Min should be notified about this matter, maybe they can use their emotions to make some fuss, end the case quickly, and let him relax.

"Shopkeeper Wang, how much do you know about Xu Qi and Zhao Hulu?" This was the question that Qian Min entrusted Fang Hao to ask after learning about Shopkeeper Wang's situation on the phone just now.

Shopkeeper Wang made tea for Fang Hao: "How should I put it, I know a little about their public affairs, but I don't know much about their secret affairs."

Fang Hao cheered up: "Oh, what else are they doing behind the scenes?"

"How should I put it, some things may offend people if they are spoken out." Shopkeeper Wang seemed a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to talk more.

"If it's inconvenient, then don't say it." Fang Hao didn't force it.

Shopkeeper Wang pondered for a moment, then put a cup of tea in front of Fang Hao: "Do you know Du Youhao?"

Fang Hao thanked him: "I heard that, is it the one who opened an antique shop specializing in selling bronze wares?"

"Yes, it's him. In fact, the old people in the circle more or less know that Du Youhao's purpose of opening a store is not to sell those high-quality imitation bronze wares. Otherwise, how can he support him to open an imitation bronze wares factory? As far as I know, Du Youhao They are secretly doing some illegal activities, and a considerable part of them are exported abroad.”

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Wang is also a little bit indignant. This is what he dislikes the Tufuzi the most. Selling the treasures left by his ancestors to foreigners, the cultural heritage will be lost abroad, and it will cost even more The price is to return home.

"As for how Du Youhao did it, I don't know much about it. In fact, people in the circle are unwilling to touch this matter. There was a colleague named Zhong Hangao before, because he had conflicts with Du Youhao, he said he wanted to expose Du Youhao. As a result, there was a car accident within a few days, and he almost died.

After Zhong Hangao was discharged from the hospital, he didn't mention Du Youhao's matter again. After all, he was old and young.Moreover, Du Youhao seemed to have compensated him. Not long after, Zhong Hangao's family moved into the villa area. "

Fang Hao knew about some of Du Youhao's problems, but knowing that Gui knew about Du Youhao's cruelty from other people, he felt different.In addition, Zhong Han is so tall that he is a clue.

Shopkeeper Wang continued: "However, as long as it doesn't affect his own business, Du Youhao won't care about the conflicts between his subordinates and others. If he really wants to take care of everything, it will definitely arouse public anger."

Fang Hao nodded, this is Du Youhao's way of survival, besides, he is doing this kind of business, too high-profile is suicidal.

Fang Hao sat with shopkeeper Wang for more than an hour. Originally, shopkeeper Wang had invited Fang Hao to have lunch together. The executives of a large multinational company want to get to know Fang Hao.

Of course, his father's concern cannot be refused, so Fang Hao bid farewell to shopkeeper Wang and went to the agreed place.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of a five-star hotel. Fang Hao got out of the car and saw his father who was already waiting at the entrance.

Fang Hao walked up to his father: "Aren't they here yet?"

Fang Zhengwei said: "It is said that they encountered some accidents and they have to go back to the hotel to change their clothes. They probably won't be here for a while. Let's wait in the private room first."

Under the guidance of the waiter, they came all the way to this five-star hotel, which is a distinctive restaurant. The design of the private rooms is very Chinese and unique, and it also incorporates unique local classic elements, making it unforgettable.

The father and son were gossiping, and ten minutes passed quickly, and no one was seen.

Fang Hao joked with a smile: "You are not active in eating, and you have problems with your thinking. Your classmate is a bit unreliable."

"If someone is unreliable, can he be an executive of a large multinational company?"

Speaking of this, Fang Zhengwei laughed: "However, when this guy was at school, he was indeed unreliable at times. When I was out of school last night, I told him what to bring, but the next day I forgot to go to Java , this kind of thing happened not once or twice.

But with his memory, he was admitted to a key university, and now he earns an annual salary of several million, unlike your father and me, who are exhausted and can't make much money. "
