Chapter 190 Jiang Mingrui's Trouble
Jiang Mingrui is very depressed now. Today he flew to Xijing to taste delicious food, but he was turned away and was scolded by his cousin.

The thing is to mention that before Jiang Mingrui came to Xijing, his cousin asked him to bring a purple flower wax ground that was at least before the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

What is Amethyst wax ground?

This is the best among Xiangfei bamboo fan bones. The material is based on red-purple round spots and waxy-yellow bamboo ground. The contrast effect is obvious.

Moreover, due to the precious material of the "Purple Flower Wax Bottom" fan bones, the workmanship of the fan bones is extremely exquisite, and most of them were made by the master fan makers at that time. "Purple flower wax bottom" has been popular since the Ming Dynasty, but due to various reasons such as climate change, the material was basically an endangered species after the middle of the Qing Dynasty. like.

Jiang Mingrui has a very good relationship with this cousin, so he took over the task with a pat on the chest, and asked a friend to find a pair of Xiangfei fan bones made of purple flower wax ground in the late Ming Dynasty.

At noon today, Jiang Mingrui went to look for his cousin with the fan bone. During dinner, his cousin told him that a big customer asked him to help find the item, and he had to wait for the big customer to come.

Jiang Mingrui's cousin, Deng Tianming, is a professional broker, mainly engaged in financial investment business. As a collection of art with financial attributes, he also has contact, but because he is not very proficient, he regards it as a sideline business.

Deng Tianming knows that art collection is his weakness, so he is more cautious. He only recommends to clients when the collection is absolutely fine. If he is not sure, it is better not to make this money.

But in this way, he has a very good reputation instead. Some customers always ask him first if they have needs in this regard.

This was a surprise to Deng Tianming, but because of this, Deng Tianming has stricter checks. Fame is a double-edged sword. Get him into big trouble.

A few days ago, this big client, Mr. Wang, entrusted Deng Tianming to help him find a purple flower wax ground Xiangfei fan bone before the mid-Qing Dynasty, the earlier the better.After he knew the rarity of the purple flower wax land, he declined it at first, but Mr. Wang insisted on asking him for help, and he also promised him an irresistible reward. After deliberation, he agreed, and then invited Jiang Octavia helps.

After the two brothers finished their meal, they waited for several hours before Mr. Wang came late and brought an appraiser with him. It is also used as a gift, so it is natural to be fully prepared.

Jiang Mingrui thought there was no problem at first, but unexpectedly, after the appraiser saw it, his expression was serious, and he said that there was something wrong with the thing, and it was an imitation of the "Concubine Caoxiang" in Burma.

The two brothers were dumbfounded when they heard this, and Mr. Wang was also very angry. He had clearly told Deng Tianming before that he was going to give this fan bone away, and asked Deng Tianming to be more cautious.

Unexpectedly, when things came to an end, there was a problem with the things. I felt like I was being tricked. Before leaving, I said something: "I said the request before. If you feel that the money I paid is too small or you can't find it, just contact me." Let me be honest, I won't blame you, but if you bring such a thing over here, it's your fault!

Of course, drilling holes in the antique industry is also a normal thing, I will treat it as you drilling holes this time, if you can find another one that satisfies me within three days, then this matter will be over.If you can't find it, then we won't cooperate in the future.Also, don't let me know that things are tricky today, otherwise don't blame me for being rude! "

This is not a serious statement. Deng Tianming knew that this time he had offended this big client.

The reason why he was able to live so well in the past was due to the care of these big benefactors.Sometimes by introducing a few businesses to him, he can earn more than 20 yuan, and can also help him introduce more customers.

But this kind of big customer also has a disadvantage, that is, once you make him feel that you are deliberately deceiving him and cheating him, then it is not as simple as simply not cooperating.

Because these big clients are all from Xijing or Sanqin, and they have some connections with each other, if he is allowed to vent his dissatisfaction, Deng Tianming's reputation will be ruined!
Accumulating this reputation is like climbing a mountain, but if you lose it, it will be like an avalanche!

Naturally, Deng Tianming also had a lot of resentment towards Jiang Mingrui, so he scolded him. If Deng Tianming was not sensible, the relationship between the two brothers might have been broken because of this matter.

Jiang Mingrui was very annoyed. This matter had something to do with his impatient visit to Xijing. He asked a collector friend who he thought he knew well for help, but because he trusted him too much, he ended up messing up the matter.

On the way back to the hotel, Jiang Mingrui was very upset. If he had known this, he should have called Fang Hao. No matter what, Fang Hao would be much more reliable.

However, he chatted with Fang Hao before and learned that Fang Hao had gone to Xijing, so he didn't tell Fang Hao, and he had to bother Fang Hao about antiques, which seemed too useless for him.

"Hey, if I knew this, I would have called Fang Hao and asked, so as not to embarrass my cousin and myself."

Jiang Mingrui let out a long sigh. Suddenly, a familiar figure entered his line of sight. He took a closer look and said happily, "Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be there! I didn't expect to meet Fang Hao here. This is what God sent me." the rescuers?"

Jiang Mingrui was overjoyed, and hurried to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao was chatting with his father, and when he looked up, he noticed Jiang Mingrui running towards him from afar. There was no way, Jiang Mingrui's figure was so recognizable.

Fang Zhengwei noticed Fang Hao's unexpected expression, and followed his gaze to see Jiang Mingrui approaching him.

"Is this your friend?"

"Yes, friends from the capital."

Jiang Mingrui walked up to Fang Hao and exaggeratedly shouted: "Fang Hao, I miss you so much!"

"Stop, stop, let me tell you what to do!"

Fang Hao was amused by Jiang Mingrui's exaggerated expression: "Dad, let me introduce you. This is my friend Jiang Mingrui from Beijing, and this is my dad."

Jiang Mingrui held Fang Zhengwei's hand enthusiastically: "Oh, I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet Uncle Fang today. No wonder I heard magpies calling this morning."

Fang Zhengwei chuckled, thinking Jiang Mingrui was quite interesting.

"Brother Jiang, have you encountered any trouble?" Fang Hao looked at Jiang Mingrui suspiciously.

Jiang Mingrui touched his nose in embarrassment, and briefly explained the matter.

"Where's the fan bone? Let me have a look."

"Here it is." Jiang Mingrui took the things out of the bag and held them in his hands.
