antique masters in modern times

The person who spoke was dressed like a student, he looked two or three years older than Yan You, and his appearance was fairly upright, but his domineering and domineering appearance made people feel very uncomfortable.

Even if he is really an employee, there is no need for this person to be so contemptuous.

Yan You was a little displeased, but he still explained with a good temper: "I am not a hotel employee, but a student who came to attend the meeting with Professor Ying from Peking University. The professor asked me to come and greet the guests."

The man said "oh", but he didn't apologize at all. He raised his head even higher and his nostrils were exposed: "I'm not an employee, so why are you soliciting customers here?"

His face is really not very good-looking, and even his companions can't stand it anymore.Before Yan You could speak, the person next to him hurriedly took back the luggage from his hand with a smile on his face, abducted the person again, and reminded: "Senior brother!"

"What are you shouting for? He came up to me to misunderstand me, and I didn't mean to." The man's eyes widened, with a righteous expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, just as the voice fell, a teacher who arrived early happened to walk back to the hotel.

Seeing them standing together, they thought they were talking, so they interrupted with a smile: "I'm just buying a pack of cigarettes, let you come over together later, if you think it's too hot, you have to come in and blow the fan first. This is Just now I mentioned the student Yan who helped to receive the reception. The young man is a closed disciple of Mr. Ying. Reception, it's really hard for him. You are about the same age, you can make friends, haha."

After finishing speaking, the teacher noticed the delicate atmosphere belatedly: the new teachers and students were all embarrassed, while Yan You stood indifferently, not smiling like before.

The teacher couldn't think of what happened anymore, so he couldn't help wondering: "What's the matter?"

Still no one answered.

Knowing that the other party was looking for faults, although Yan You was too lazy to argue with such an inexplicable person, he would not give him any good looks. He greeted the others lightly, walked back to Elder Ying, and sat down to drink water.

The unreasonable person who made trouble just now was exposed face to face, even if he was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.Originally, he was worried that Yan You would not give in, but when he saw him go away, he was relieved, but then he trembled uncontrollably: "You are polite, even if you don't say hello to me, you are worthy of being Lao Ying's disciple!"

Those who flirt first are cheap, and take anger for no reason. Yan You is already very self-restraining if he doesn't get angry, but he still wants to get cheap.The teacher who brought him here became more and more dissatisfied: "Jiang Luyun, you represent the school to participate in the meeting, and every action you take will affect the face of the school. If you are still so unreasonable, go back early to help your tutor organize the materials!"

Seeing the teacher getting angry, Jiang Luyun quickly put on a smiling face: "Teacher, it was just a misunderstanding just now, it's nothing. You see, you don't even care about that student Yan, so don't be angry with me."

He changed his face so quickly that it already attracted everyone's attention. Hearing these speechless words, the teachers and students who were with him couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed.The teacher who led the team was afraid that if the dispute continued and others would see more jokes, although he still felt dissatisfied in his heart, he had no choice but to warn: "Next time, don't be rude to others."

"Teacher, don't worry, I will keep it in mind."

Jiang Luyun answered respectfully on the surface, but in his heart he was resentful: Isn't Yanyou so arrogant just because he is the disciple of the industry leader!Don't look at her greasy hair and pink face, just like the villain in the movie, in terms of knowledge and talent, she must be inferior to herself!He was the first college student in the town, and he was admitted to graduate school, but he suffered from the fact that his tutor was not so famous.Otherwise, how could it be his turn to get a little brat to show off his might in front of him!

The fellow juniors knew that this senior had a high opinion of himself and had no one in his eyes.To put it mildly is to be arrogant, but to put it bluntly is to be arrogant.Usually in school, he likes to point out the country, to belittle other people's little faults, and to make himself worthless.

Unexpectedly, when he was away from home, he still would not correct this problem.He didn't even know Yanyou's background, but after hearing a few words of praise from an acquaintance teacher, his eyes turned red with jealousy, and he couldn't wait to stand up in front of Yanyou. He even wanted to pretend to be innocent, but in the end he was exposed.

Seeing him gnashing their teeth again, the juniors all knew that the senior had fallen into delusions again, so they didn't bother to pay attention to him, and followed the teacher to say hello in front of Mr. Ying and the others, leaving Jiang Luyun alone.

The little episodes that happened here, the other teachers are all watching.Although he didn't say anything, he had already made a conclusion about Jiang Luyun in his heart.On the other hand, Yan You acted as if nothing had happened and did not get angry, so the evaluation of him was unavoidably higher.

In a flash, it was the next day.At around [-]:[-] in the morning, the organizer's staff finally showed their faces and came to pick up people with two special cars.

This meeting was of a non-governmental nature, nominally under the banner of academic exchanges, but in fact it was a public relations strategy devised by a private processing factory in Guangzhou in order to win orders from several big clients.Those big customers are all overseas Chinese, holding at least one or two international clothing brands in their hands.If the foundry business can be obtained, the factory owner can lie down and eat and drink for the rest of his life.

However, his factory does not have a great advantage over other factories in terms of price or craftsmanship.But the boss was very thoughtful, asking around for the hobbies of these customers, and prepared to match them.

I learned that the boss of a certain overseas Chinese who is in a leading position in the industry likes to collect antiques, and he also infected his good business partners with being arty.After repeated inquiries, he found out that the other party was an old acquaintance with Professor Yinglao, a well-known domestic scholar. The factory owner immediately made a decision and decided to sponsor an academic conference with money.

Considering that it would be unseemly to invite only one scholar, he simply cast a wide net and sent invitation letters to all the well-known university teachers whose names and majors were close to each other.

These days, business sponsorships are very rare, and in recent years, the higher authorities have focused on the flourishing of literature and art, and have not cared about antiques.

I heard that round-trip meals and lodging are all included, and you can also communicate with colleagues. It is a rare opportunity, and even the old Ying is tempted.Seeing that there were quite a few old acquaintances among the invited guests who hadn't seen each other for many years, regardless of the environment or anything, at least communication should be guaranteed, so I immediately decided to attend the meeting.And other people's thinking is similar to that of Ying Lao, so there are quite a few people who went to the appointment.

A small boss who is unknown in the antique world takes the lead and can hire experts. It is probably only in this era of green and yellow, which has not yet ushered in the wave of reform and opening up.

At the moment, the two vans were packed to the brim and drove all the way to the small Western-style building where the conference room was located.

Before the car stopped, everyone saw a few well-dressed people talking from a distance.Taking a closer look, Elder Ying was immediately delighted, leaned out half of his body, and waved from a distance: "Old Pei, do you still remember me?"

The man who was surrounded by several people like stars and moons was taken aback when he heard this title that no one dared to call anymore.When he looked back to see who it was, he hurriedly left the others behind to greet him: "Oh, Young Master Ying, it's been a while since I've seen you!"

"Young master, no master, you and I are both people whose chests are buried in the loess, and you still call it that." Elder Ying replied with a smile, and got off first while the car was on the brakes.

"Haha, that's what I used to call when I was a cab driver back then."

The man said with a smile, with a good temper.Coupled with an honest and honest face, he is a kind old man who can be seen everywhere.If it wasn't for the expensive outfit and the presence of his entourage, no one would have guessed how important he is in the business world. His clothing business has spread from Europe and America to East Asia, earning a lot of money.

Old Ying half-truthfully said: "If you want to talk about what you did back then, it depends on the present! Now you are a big boss with a huge wealth and an astonishing net worth, but I am just a poor teacher. What a hero Moti was brave back then."

"Look at what I said, if you want to make money, with the contacts left by Mr. Ying and your family background, you will definitely crush the vast majority of people. If you are willing to stay in school to teach, it is nothing more than distasteful and vulgar. The Ying family has a long history. , My scientific name Pei Xiuyuan was given by Master Ying, and everyone praises me for being elegant."

"Haha, if you do this business, why don't others flatter you? Let's just say that this time, if it wasn't for your face, we, a group of teachers from all over the world, wouldn't be able to get together."

"Joke again. At that time they said that they invited you, I was half-believing, afraid that you would not be invited. Fortunately, just in case, I brought a few things I acquired over the years, and I will invite you later. You help me palm my eyes. My interest in antiques comes from Mr. Ying, but unfortunately I don’t have his old man’s eyesight.”

The two said while walking into the house.Seeing this, the others followed naturally.

Pei Xiuyuan came from a humble background, and to the serious Eight Banners disciples, he belonged to the low-level people who wouldn't bother to say a word even if they were down.But the Ying family is not a hairpin family, and the family style is open-minded. When the old Ying father was alive, even if he was a peddler, he would call him a brother as long as he could talk.

When Pei Xiuyuan was just a rickshaw driver with only a nickname but no academic name, he admired this guy for being smart and motivated, able to see things that others overlooked, always taking care of Pei Xiuyuan's business, and helping him in every aspect of life.Therefore, even if he was later worth billions of dollars and became a famous businessman, Pei Xiuyuan was still grateful for the support of the Ying family when he was down and down, and would not put on airs in front of the old man.

The friendship of young people becomes more and more precious when they are old.Although the two old people hadn't seen each other for decades, they were still able to talk and laugh happily, and they naturally chatted from the past to the present, and all the ups and downs of decades turned into jokes.This is the joy of reuniting old friends, and it is also one of the main reasons why Ying Lao is willing to attend the meeting.

On the other hand, Yan You, from the conversation between the two, finally figured out the main purpose of this meeting: Leaving aside the written words on the invitation letter, this is actually a tasting exchange meeting.

The so-called guests are all bigwigs from overseas business circles. This time, they basically brought a few treasures collected in recent years, and invited experts to comment on them.One is to make fun of Pei Xiuyuan's face, and the other is to have a faint sense of self-worth in front of his colleagues.It is also worthwhile for scholars to get close to some rare treasures that were only seen on TV news.

After fully understanding this point, Yan You suddenly became interested.In this era, the treasures he has seen are basically found by picking up leaks, or in museums that can only be seen from a distance, and he has never encountered such a rare opportunity to communicate.

But what I didn't expect was that the higher the expectation, the greater the sense of gap.

Probably because they were worried about going to the customs for inspection, although the things brought by these wealthy people were better than ordinary goods, they were limited and not very precious.

After looking at each other for a long time in turn, the only one that Pei Xiuyuan brought was a clear and smooth middle-aged emerald jade carved flower-opened rich treasure bottle cap, which was quite rare.

The base material of this piece is the jade of Fu Lu Shou, the color is full of water, the green is full of water, the yellow is bright and moving, and the purple is charming and lovely.Coupled with the ingenious craftsmanship of the court craftsmen back then, under the sun, the calyx has distinct tendons, and the purple petals of Yao, Huang and Wei are overlapping, exquisite and translucent, like living things, as long as the breeze blows, they will sway with the trend.

As soon as this treasure is taken out, other people's things lose their luster.The factory owners who want to win orders, and the colleagues who need Pei's care in business, can't help but boast, it goes without saying.The teachers and students of various colleges and universities were also amazed, and bluntly said that if it were placed in the provincial capital museum, it would definitely be a treasure of the town hall.

But although Ying Lao also praised a few words, he seemed a little bit uninterested.Like Yan You, he has seen countless treasures, so his vision is extremely high, and ordinary things can't easily fall into his eyes.

Pei Xiuyuan just responded to others' compliments with a smile, but what he really cared about was Elder Ying's reaction.

Seeing the old friend's lack of interest, he knew what was going on without even thinking about it, so he laughed and said: "Although this flower is exquisite, it is not so rare. A good friend of mine has something even more beautiful than this." It is a large and exquisite piece. This is the one I want to comment on for you the most today."

After finishing speaking, he signaled the accompanying secretary to put away the jade carving, took out a brocade box that was kept close to him, and opened it carefully.

Seeing that he was so cautious, the others subconsciously held their breath and watched his every move silently.

But when the opened box was pushed onto the long table and the contents inside were clearly seen, everyone was dumbfounded: What is this thing?

Even Yinglao couldn't help taking out a magnifying glass to look at it inch by inch, with a dignified expression.

Yan You took a closer look, but was suddenly taken aback: How could it be it?
