Antique Dealer

Chapter 249 An Indiscriminate Disaster?

Fang Hao’s destructive identification method is to use an electric hand drill to make a hole in the beeswax. The high-speed rotation of the electric hand drill will generate high temperature, and you can tell whether the smell is the obvious smell of plastic or rosin. ; In addition, you can touch the small debris with your hands, whether it is sticky or powder.But doing so is damaging to the beeswax.

If it is a beeswax bead, the authenticity can be verified by expanding the channel in the original channel, but this method cannot be used for a beeswax handle in front of you.

"That's it."

After listening to Fang Hao's explanation, Wang Caitong still couldn't accept that something was wrong: "Then what is it made of, the second-generation beeswax?"

Fang Hao shook his head: "I don't think it's the second generation beeswax."

Wang Caitong was very anxious at the moment: "Then I will go for an appraisal now!"

"Don't be in a hurry. It's lunch break now. They haven't gone to work yet. Go after dinner."

Cao Wei asked again: "Where did you buy it?"

Wang Caitong had no choice but to sit down, and said absently, "I bought it from the jewelry store run by Chang Hong's family."

Cao Wei frowned: "Why did you ask her to buy it?"

Wang Caitong noticed her husband's expression: "What's the matter, can't you buy it from her?"

Cao Wei said: "She has killed acquaintances once or twice. In 18, she sold a friend a 2-carat diamond ring. The market price was 12, which was already very high. She actually sold it for 30. Her friend believed her. , did not go to other people to inquire about the price, and bought it for 30 yuan, and later learned that she had suffered a big loss and came to the door to make trouble, so she had to agree to return under pressure."

Wang Caitong complained: "Then why didn't you tell me about this!"

"I thought you didn't know her well."

Cao Wei smiled wryly, he really didn't know that his wife would buy beeswax from Chang Hong, otherwise she would have exposed her character a long time ago: "How much did you pay for this beeswax?"

Wang Caitong twisted her body a little uneasily, and lowered her voice: "15."

Cao Wei clicked his tongue. If there is no problem with the beeswax, this matter will be perfect. Unfortunately, there is no if in this world. Since the matter has already happened, there is no point in entanglement or blaming. If so much money is really lost, the wife must be more than He felt even more distressed, and he might not be able to sleep well for several days.

"Is everything in the invoice?"

"Yes."

"Then let's do an appraisal in the afternoon, and then go to him to return the product."

Wang Caitong nodded, looking a little absent-minded.

Seeing this, Cao Wei quickly winked at Fang Hao, and then said to his wife: "Okay, don't be sad, I'm already very happy if you have this kind of heart! To be honest, I also prepared a set for you. A gift, see if you like it."

Wang Caitong raised her head after hearing her husband's words, and saw Fang Hao took out a very beautiful box, got up and put it in front of her, and she fell in love with it immediately.

I saw this cosmetic box, with a thick carcass, shining golden light, and the mouth and mouth of the mother and child fit perfectly.The cover and its surroundings are patterned on the copper body, filled with transparent and translucent enamel glaze, and fired many times. The transparency is good, the color is bright and clear, and the work is gorgeous.In the center of the cover, a small and exquisite ruby ​​circles around the flower pattern, showing nobility and dignity in elegance.

Wang Caitong admired this ingenious cosmetic box with a little blurred eyes, and then opened the lid of the box, only to see that the inner lid is decorated with a mirror surface, which is unique.In addition, there is a four-character double-line seal script "Qianlong Year System" at the bottom of the box.

"This cosmetic box is so beautiful!" Wang Caitong swept away the previously depressed look, his eyes brightened, and he looked at Cao Wei full of love.

At this time, Fang Hao got up in a timely manner, expressing that he was going to the bathroom, and secretly teased Cao Wei with a smile, then walked out of the private room and closed the door.

Fang Hao drank a lot of water just now, and he really had to go to the bathroom. When he came out of the bathroom, he had to pass two private rooms, one of which was closed just now, and now it was open, and a crowd of people were drinking and making noise.

Fang Hao glanced casually, and found that the one inside who was talking eloquently was still an acquaintance, and it was Liang Xuanyi who foolishly took a bronze sack at the exchange meeting held in Kong Yi.

Later, Liang Xuanyi chose to help the police arrest Fu Long after committing crimes and meritorious deeds. He didn't know what happened afterwards, whether Fu Long was caught or not.

Liang Xuanyi chose to commit crimes and make meritorious service. Coupled with his family's strength, he would basically not be imprisoned. Now that he can eat and drink here, it is estimated that the matter has been settled.

Speaking of which, Fang Hao has a bad impression of Liang Xuanyi. This guy is naive and crazy, and he doesn't consider the occasion when he does things. How dare a bronze 罍 with such obvious unearthed traces be displayed at the exchange meeting in such a grand manner? The second child, his third child.

Moreover, Liang Xuanyi's relationship with Liu Shi was not good, Fang Hao naturally helped Liu Shi, if Liang Xuanyi could be arrested and locked up for a few days, he would definitely applaud.

Just when Fang Hao saw Liang Xuanyi, Liang Xuanyi didn't know if he had telepathy, but when he turned around, he also saw Fang Hao passing by the door.

Seeing Fang Hao, Liang Xuanyi involuntarily thought of what happened that day, and thought of being scolded by his father, almost being sent abroad, and cooperating with the police to arrest Fu Long with trepidation.

Liang Xuanyi was the center of the dinner table, seeing the sudden change in his face, everyone was very curious, looked outside, Fang Hao had already passed by.

"Young Master Liang, what's wrong with you?" Someone couldn't help asking.

Liang Xuanyi replied: "Just now I saw a very annoying guy."

Sitting opposite Liang Xuanyi, a tall and thick bald man immediately rolled up his sleeves when he heard this, "Who is the one who dares to provoke you, Young Master Liang? I'll help you to teach him a lesson."

In fact, Liang Xuanyi also investigated Fang Hao. However, the results were always vague. He wanted to investigate in depth, but unexpectedly there was an accident. In the end, he didn't dare to investigate.This made him feel that Fang Hao's identity was unusual, and he might even be the illegitimate son of some important person.

But even with such an idea, he still hates Fang Hao very much. Maybe it's because of Liu Shi's relationship, he hates the house and the black, maybe it's because he doesn't like him naturally. Anyway, he doesn't want to be friends with Fang Hao, and he also thinks Fang Hao should also No idea of ​​being friends.

Let the well water not violate the river water!
However, since the bald-headed Cheng stood up, he felt that he could take advantage of it, and just took the opportunity to see what strength Fang Hao had. If he finally found out that Fang Hao was just an ordinary person with some abilities, then don't blame him.

Therefore, Liang Xuanyi curled his lips: "That guy is an antique dealer, he is a classmate with Liu Shi, and he dared to provoke me with Liu Shi last time. If Liu Shi wasn't protecting me, I would want to skin him off." .If you can teach him a lesson, I can be the master and give your company a chance to cooperate. As for whether you can do well on your side, it can only be up to you.”

Bald Cheng's real name is Gong Cheng, because he has always been a big and round bald head, he was given the nickname Bald Cheng, and Bald Cheng was also a side business at the beginning. In the past few years, he knew that he couldn't keep going like this, otherwise he would often walk by the river, If you don't get your feet wet, you will be unlucky sooner or later, so you have transformed into a legitimate business.

Baldhead Cheng was very excited when he heard this. If the Liang family could give him a sip of soup, he would be able to reap a lot of money. Of course, he had to seize this opportunity, especially since he also knew Liu Shi. If Fang Hao was only Liu Shi classmate, he is still sure that Liang Xuanyi will be satisfied.

So he readily agreed: "Young Master Liang, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter for you!"

On the other side, Fang Hao didn't even think that this kind of thing would happen just because Liang Xuanyi happened to see him. He knocked on the door, then pushed the door and walked in. Wang Caitong's cheeks were still a little red, and Cao Wei arrived. It was the same as before, he chuckled inwardly, and returned to his seat.

When Fang Hao came back, Wang Caitong remembered to ask the price: "How much does this cosmetic box cost?"

Fang Hao said, "Eighty thousand."

"Ah, only [-] yuan?" Wang Caitong was very surprised by the price, thinking it was very low.

Fang Hao smiled and said, "Brother Cao and I are friends, and it's a gift for your wedding anniversary. It must not be expensive."

Wang Caitong said with some embarrassment: "Are you going to lose money? One of my girlfriends bought a makeup box that looks similar to this one. It cost more than 40 yuan at that time!"

"You worry too much, I'm sure I won't lose money, let's put it this way, it's the cost price."

Fang Hao went on to say: "As for the blue-burning cosmetic box, which costs more than 40 yuan, there must be no such price. In the auction market, the highest price for crafts using blue-burning craftsmanship is less than 20 yuan. Your girlfriend I bought it, it should be made of other crafts, such as enamelware."

"It's not enamel." Wang Caitong recalled: "It seems to use a kind of bird's feathers."

Fang Hao immediately realized: "That's Diancui."

"Yes, it's Diancui!" Wang Caitong nodded repeatedly.

Diancui craft is the perfect combination of traditional metal craft and feather craft in our country.

The traditional Diancui technique is extremely complicated. When making it, first make a base of gold and silver sheets according to the flower shape, then use gold wire to weld a groove along the edge of the pattern flower shape, and apply an appropriate amount of glue on the middle part to place the kingfisher. The feathers are skillfully pasted on the metal base made of gold and silver, forming an auspicious and exquisite pattern.

These patterns are generally inlaid with precious stones such as pearls, emeralds, red corals, and agates, making them more elegant and noble.

Kingfishers are rare nowadays, and they are national second-class protected animals, and the feathers must be taken from live kingfishers. Now it is certainly not possible to kill kingfishers indiscriminately for making traditional dotted kingfishers. Now the dotted kingfisher ornaments on the market are basically the same as before. handed down.

Burning blue and dot emerald look quite similar from the outside, but in fact, the burning blue process is similar to the glaze color, also known as the dot blue process, and the silver enamel that is often said is the burning blue process.

Cao Wei said: "I remember Diancui craftsmanship, and there are very few such high prices. Could it be that its craftsmanship is particularly good, and the gemstones inlaid are very precious?"

"There are tourmalines, emeralds, and red corals, but they don't seem to be many, right!"

Wang Caitong remembered that she thought she was too beautiful at the time, so she took a photo with her mobile phone. She turned on the phone and found the photo.

When Fang Hao saw Wang Caitong took the photo, he felt emotional, if only he could have customers like Wang Caitong's girlfriends, if he had a few more customers, the world's richest man would be just around the corner!
Cao Wei was also speechless when he saw the photo: "This Diancui makeup box should be right, but the price is too high, I can't even see it for [-] yuan."

Fang Hao said: "I think the value is about the same as this burnt blue makeup box."

"what!"

Wang Caitong didn't expect such an answer, and then she thought that she had just been tricked into buying a beeswax handle, and she was in a bad mood again.

Seeing this, Cao Wei had no choice but to comfort him.

Wang Caitong said: "Okay, I'm not that vulnerable anymore, I was just thinking about how to explain it to my best friend."

"Can things be returned?" Cao Wei asked.

"It's been a year or two since I bought it, so I can't return it!"

"Then don't tell her for the time being, lest she feel uncomfortable."

Wang Caitong shook her head: "No, I must tell her about this, otherwise she will go to that seller to buy things again?"

Fang Hao had an idea: "My store has a pawn license, and there is an event at the opening. The top [-] customers can get free appraisals and valuations. You can persuade your best friend to participate, just tell her to see if you can buy it for two years. How much does it go up?"

Wang Caitong thought the idea was good, so he agreed.

Next, everyone ate and chatted, Fang Hao talked about some tricks in the antique shop, and what you need to pay attention to when buying jewelry.

At the end of lunch, Fang Hao told Cao Wei about the need to develop video calling software.

Just as Cao Wei was about to pat his chest and agree, Wang Caitong said first, "Can I do my job for my own benefit?"

Fang Hao said with a smile: "As long as I can meet my requirements, of course there is no problem."

Cao Wei reacted immediately: "Do you want Xiaohui to do it?"

Wang Caitong nodded, and then introduced to Fang Hao, talking about her uncle's daughter An Minhui, a relatively rare female programmer in the industry, with a very pure face, when she was in the company, because there were more wolves and less meat, there was no The married male employees all regarded her as a treasure, and later the superiors harassed her. In a fit of anger, she resigned and went home to work alone.

Cao Wei said: "Her abilities are indeed quite outstanding, but it's not like you don't know, she has a quirk, maybe she won't agree."

Fang Hao was a little curious, what quirk would make An Minhui refuse to develop software for him?
Wang Caitong said with a smile: "She doesn't like handsome guys."

When Fang Hao learned that this was the answer, he was speechless. He always thought that both men and women like to be pleasing to the eye simply by looking at their appearance. When it comes to finding another partner, that’s another matter. It depends on the inside, but he just customized It's just software, it's really weird that this kind of situation can be hated.

Could it be that An Minhui was dumped by a handsome guy, or that the boss who harassed her back then was also a teacher, so she didn't like handsome guys?

Cao Wei shrugged his shoulders: "Do you think it's strange? I also thought it was quite strange at the beginning. The key point is that my brother-in-law said that she has such a tendency since she was a child. It's really a world full of wonders. Will she still deliberately find an ugly one in the future?" Is the man married?"
