Antique Dealer

Chapter 232 Farewell Banquet

Xia Dongsheng asked Tang Mingshan to settle accounts, and Tang Mingshan was also very upset when he saw Xia Dongsheng. The two met, full of gunpowder.

However, relying on Tang Ai's relationship, Tang Mingshan knew many people.Xia Dongsheng is also an old player, and is quite famous in the jadeite world. He has a good relationship with Tang Ai, but he often haunts southern Yunnan, and he doesn't stay in Xijing for a long time a year. Although he knows that there is Tang Mingshan, but Never seen it before.

So the two matched each other, and Xia Dongsheng knew he had made a mistake, and was immediately embarrassed.Especially under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had to explain the reason clearly, and he would feel ashamed afterwards.

Tang Mingshan was also very embarrassed. He actually fought Xia Dongsheng to the death over a fake, and almost forged a grudge. It's funny to say it.

After the matter was settled, the matter passed away. Afterwards, the two of them met a few times, had a few meals, gradually became acquainted, and finally became friends.

Fang Hao said with a smile: "You two don't know each other anymore."

The two smiled in unison.

Everyone continued to chat about antiques. As the topic deepened, and after an hour or two of communication, Xia Dongsheng also realized what a genius in appraising treasures was, and he even had an illusion that the person sitting in front of him, In fact, he is an old expert who has studied in the antique industry for many years.

After that, Fang Hao's first impression on Xia Dongsheng can be described in one word, "admiration".

Fang Hao raised his hand to check the time, and said that it was getting late, and he went to the restaurant now.

So Xia Dongsheng went to pay the bill, and the group of three set off to the restaurant.

When he arrived at the reserved restaurant, Fang Hao confirmed the private room with the waiter and asked them to go to the private room first. He waited for others to arrive at the hotel door.

After a while, Zheng Yu and Guo Kedu arrived first, and after exchanging pleasantries, Fang Hao also asked them to go to the private room first.

After a while, Hu Jue and Huang Zhicheng arrived. They were talking to Fang Hao, and Du Manzhuang hurried over.

Speaking of which, Du Manzhuang helped Fang Hao a lot for Han Yanfeng's affairs. If it wasn't for his existence, Han Yanfeng might not have taken the risk and participated in Zhao Hulu's trap for Fang Hao, so that Zhao Hulu and the others were arrested brought to justice.

Du Manzhuang helped a lot, and Fang Hao wanted to thank him for being emotional and reasonable, but before Du Manzhuang was very busy with business matters, Fang Hao didn't have the nerve to bother him, and today he learned that Fang Hao was going to Returning to the capital, Du Manzhuang put down his work and rushed over.

When everyone was here, Fang Hao took the two of them to the private room.

When he arrived at the private room, Fang Hao was about to introduce to everyone when he saw Xia Dongsheng looking at Du Man in surprise.

Du Manzhou saw Xia Lesheng, and laughed: "I didn't expect you to be here!"

Fang Hao was also quite surprised: "You guys know each other too?"

Du Man said with a smile: "We are classmates in junior high school and high school, and we are both in the same class."

Xia Dongsheng curled his lips: "One of the things I regret most in my life is being a classmate with you."

Du Man said with a grin, "Hey, how many years have passed, why are you still brooding?"

Xia Dongsheng said angrily: "Anyway, you ran away, and I will remember this for the rest of my life!"

Seeing everyone's curious looks, Xia Dongsheng pointed at Du Manzhou and said, "You don't know how bad this guy is. In the second year of junior high school, I had a sudden idea and said that I want to try the taste of Bawang's meal. I wasn't happy at first, and I didn't know which string was wrong in my mind, so I agreed to him.

Looking back, the two of us found a restaurant and ate a Bawang meal. It was agreed that the two of us would carry it together. Unexpectedly, he ran faster than a rabbit, but I was caught by the people from the restaurant.

At that time, I didn't have enough money on me, and I didn't dare to tell my parents. I had no choice but to ask to wash the dishes to pay off the debt.Don't you know, I was washing dishes in the kitchen until eleven o'clock in the evening, and the boss asked me to wipe the stove over and over again. I felt that the stove was about to be wiped bald by me!That's not counting, because I came home late and was beaten up by my mother. Until now, I sometimes dream about this tragic experience in my dreams. "

Everyone laughed after hearing Xia Lesheng's narration.

Du Manzhang was still quite embarrassed after hearing this story, he rubbed his nose: "Well, I can't blame it all on me, I was running and found that you had fallen, and I was going back to find you. Dad saw me, and when he learned about it, he scolded me severely and didn't allow me to save you, so he dragged me back home.

Moreover, I didn't expect that the owner of that restaurant was so ruthless that he asked you to wash so many things. If I had known this, I would have gone to you secretly to help you share the burden.And for the next half month, I'll buy you snacks, that's right. "

Xia Dongsheng snorted: "If you were sensible, I would have broken up with you long ago."

A small episode made the atmosphere a little more joyful, and Fang Hao gave a brief introduction, inviting everyone to take a seat, and then asked the waiter to serve food and drinks.

Du Manxiang took a sip of water to moisten his throat: "By the way, Lao Xia, did you find the head covering that I asked you to help find last time?"

The head covering is the rough emerald that has not been opened, that is, the whole material.In general, the betting success of head coverings depends entirely on luck, because neither the seed water nor the fog inside can be seen, so the risk is very high.

Xia Dongsheng said: "There are a lot of head coverings, but as you said, find a head covering that is sure to cut out the old pit glass seeds. Do you think it's Chinese cabbage? It's so easy to find! Of course, If you can spend a lot of money, it's easy to get there, the key depends on whether you like making sticks or not."

Du Man said: "Nonsense, if I want to be a mallet, do I still need to find you?"

Tang Mingshan asked curiously: "President Du, why do you have to wear such a head covering?"

Du Man shook his head: "Hey, she's not my cousin's daughter. This girl likes to be jealous. Ever since a friend of hers went to block rocks in southern Yunnan, she made ice jadeite and made 600 million. I muttered about wanting to bet on a better piece of material, but now I’m in a daze, my monthly salary is spent on it, and I’ve already lost a lot of money.”

Everyone was a little speechless, and it was rare to be so jealous.

"My niece refused to persuade me, so my cousin begged me, so I asked Lao Xia to help find a suitable head covering. The key point was that the girl kept thinking that after it was opened, it would be made into emeralds. Jewelry, so the price must be appropriate, otherwise my cousin will be under pressure."

Du Manzhuang was also quite displeased with his niece, and if it was another way, he would have no problem advancing some money, but it would be too stupid to have such an idea just because of jealousy.

Fang Hao said with a smile: "Actually, it is not difficult to solve this matter."

Du Manzhuang hurriedly asked: "How to solve it?"

Fang Hao said: "Buy a piece of bright material, or a suitable semi-premium material, and then ask a master to make a fake material."

"Is this okay?" Du Man looked at Xia Dongsheng.

Xia Dongsheng smiled and said: "It is indeed possible. You must know that even the jadeite market in Myanmar is made of fake leather. I will ask you later. It is quite easy to deceive the little girl."

"That's great, Mr. Fang is the quickest thinker."

My cousin called him frequently recently, and he was also very worried. Now that there is finally a solution, Du Manxiang is very happy.

It just so happened that the waiter's cold dishes were served, and the drinks also arrived. Du Manzhuang asked the waiter to pour a glass of wine, and said with a smile that he would borrow flowers to present Buddha, and respected Fang Hao and Xia Dongsheng.

"Let me say a few words."

Fang Hao refilled the wine again, stood up and said, "All the friends here are friends I met only when I came to Xijing. We are all like-minded friends...I just want to say one thing, may the friendship between us last forever!"

"it is good!"

Everyone stood up and clinked glasses, applauding one after another.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere is very lively now, even Hu Jue, who is somewhat introverted by nature, now has flushed cheeks, excited, and speaks loudly from time to time.

Tang Mingshan also got a little drunk, and raised his voice unconsciously: "Hu Jue, when are you going to the capital?"

Hu Jue said, "I booked a plane ticket for the day after tomorrow, how about you?"

"Me... in three or four days."

Fang Hao saw that Tang Mingshan's tone was not very satisfied, so he said: "You have to discuss it with your mother, lest you stay with me for a few days and be caught by your mother."

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't lose the chain." Tang Mingshan's chest thumped loudly.

After hearing this conversation, Du Manzhuang was very curious: "Are you going to the capital to join Teacher Fang?"

Both Hu Jue and Tang Mingshan nodded in unison.

Tang Mingshan said with a grin: "I plan to study with Fang Hao for at least three years, and I will definitely impress you all."

Guo Kedu took over and said: "To be honest, if I can't leave, I also want to work in Fang Hao's shop for two years, and I will definitely gain a lot of experience."

Fang Hao smiled and said, "You don't think my store is your school, do you?"

Tang Mingshan said: "That's right, relying on your ability to follow you, are you afraid that you won't learn anything? That is, you don't want to accept apprentices, otherwise I can worship you as my teacher now!"

"I don't want to accept an apprentice as big as you..."

After joking for a while, Fang Hao said, "Speaking of business, do you have a place to live in the capital?"

Both Tang Mingshan and Hu Jue shook their heads.

Fang Hao said: "Okay then, let me arrange it for you. Where do you want to live?"

Hu Jue said, "I just need a place closer to the store."

Tang Mingshan also had the same idea.

Fang Hao nodded: "Okay, let me inquire later."

"Hey, in the final analysis, housing prices in Beijing are too expensive, otherwise I would like to buy a hardcover house directly, and I can live there."

Tang Mingshan shook his head: "It would be great if there was a channel to make a lot of money."

Du Manzhou took a sip of the wine, put down the glass and said, "I have a channel to make a lot of money, it depends on your willingness to invest."

"What channel?" Everyone became interested.

Du Manzhuang introduced: "Do you know about growing diamonds? I have a friend who has been in this industry for two years and has achieved certain results. But now that he lacks funds, he wants to use equity to attract investment."
