We all came to the banquet hall next door and found a quieter table and sat down. After a while, Lu Xiuqi's grandfather and grandson also came over with smiles.
"Do you mind if we sit together?" Lu Xiuqi asked politely.
Of course everyone wouldn¡¯t mind and politely greeted Lu Xiuqi to take a seat.
Meng Zitao helped Lu Xiuqi pour the tea, picked up his own teacup, smiled and thanked: "Mr. Lu, I would like to thank you for your generous donation today. I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
Lu Xiuqi laughed, drank it all in one gulp, and then said, "Don't thank me. To be honest, I would like to thank you more for giving me the opportunity to get a calligraphy treasure."
"Where, where"
Everyone was polite to each other, and Lu Xiuqi asked curiously: "Xiao Meng, let me ask you a question that I don't know whether to ask or not. Who did your calligraphy come from? I don't think it looks like your master's style."
Meng Zitao said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I figured it out myself."
"Ah!" Lu Xiuqi's grandson and Bian Mo both looked shocked, wondering if Meng Zitao was joking.
Shu Ze helped and explained with a smile: "Zitao didn't lie to you. Apart from attending a study class when he was a child, his calligraphy was all figured out by himself. We were all surprised at first, but this guy is He is a freak and cannot be judged by normal thinking at all."
Lu Xiuqi knew that this kind of thing should not be false, and that some geniuses in this world are indeed difficult to see with ordinary people's eyes. He couldn't help but sigh: "I am a little jealous of Mr. Zheng's luck now."
Lu Dongchen looked at Meng Zitao with envy: "Genius, genius, natural talent. Now I know the gap between geniuses and ordinary people."
Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Actually, everyone has their own destiny. Even if you have talent, but you only know how to squander it without working hard, you will be wiped out by everyone sooner or later. On the contrary, if the stupid bird flies first, it may reach the other side first."
"Well said." Lu Xiuqi applauded and looked at his grandson and said, "You still have to learn from Xiao Mengduo. If you don't change your indecisive temperament, your achievements in this life will be limited."
Lu Dongchen sincerely expressed his acceptance. He also knew that there was something wrong with his character, but he always felt that he could not find the direction. Now it seems that Meng Zitao is his guiding light.
The waiters served the dishes one after another, and everyone chatted for a while before starting to eat. Since the afternoon's work was not over yet, no one asked for wine. Even if someone came to toast later, they would just order it.
Meng Zitao asked: "Mr. Lu, why didn't you go and appreciate the secret-color porcelain just now?"
Lu Xiuqi mainly studies porcelain, and he must be very concerned about secret-color porcelain, and with his status, he will at least be placed in the front. Now it seems that Lu Xiuqi came over without even looking at it, so Meng Zitao asked such a question.
Lu Xiuqi smiled and said, "Xiao Hu has already brought the things to me and looked at them before."
After hearing this, Shu Ze was very curious about the result and asked quickly: "What was the result?"
Lu Xiuqi smiled slightly and said, "As for the results, you should see it for yourself before making any conclusions."
Shu Ze was a little embarrassed, knowing that he had asked in a hurry and was a bit taboo, but since Lu Xiuqi answered like that, there must be something wrong with Hu Tielun's secret color porcelain.
And the fact is exactly the same. People who have seen the secret color porcelain immediately divided into two groups. One group said that the thing is genuine, and the other group said that the thing should be a high imitation. Anyway, the public is right, and the mother-in-law is right. No one can convince anyone.
In contrast, Tian Mengmeng was more curious about Hu Tielun and asked: "Who is this Hu Tielun? He actually dares to brazenly claim that he is the Porcelain King of Beijing."
Zhong Jinxian smiled and explained: "Let me tell you this, there are roughly two types of businessmen in the antiques industry. One kind likes to stand in the background and does no matter how big a deal is. The other kind just likes to do things. Standing at the front desk and wanting to become a star in the industry, whatever you buy or sell, you want everyone to know about it, and it is best to have it published in newspapers and on TV."
"Generally speaking, the former are mostly businessmen with strong strength and well-established background. They often do not do business in the public arena. For example, your uncle Wang is the leader. The latter is because his wealth expands very quickly. , and there was nothing else to say, so some auction records were released to prove that there was no problem with the origin of his wealth, and Hu Tielun was this kind of person."
Tian Mengmeng curled her lips: "It's not a big deal, right? How can he have the nerve to say that he is the porcelain king of the capital?"
Shu Ze took over the words and said: "Hu Tielun calls himself this title."?Although it is an exaggeration, his business is indeed very large. You can ask your Uncle Wang, and he will tell you that Hu Tielun sold at least tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain, and how many there are in private. There is no way of knowing, maybe double the number is possible. "
"How could there be so many?" Tian Mengmeng was a little stunned.
Zhong Jinxian smiled and said: "It's not impossible. There are good and bad porcelains. If they are from ordinary folk kilns, I can collect so many. Of course, since Hu Tielun dares to say this, it is definitely impossible for all of them to be ordinary folk kilns. It¡¯s a quality product, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be able to boast like that, and his status in the domestic collecting community is indeed quite high.¡±
Shu Ze shook his head: "I don't like this guy very much. I always feel that he is a bit unscrupulous in doing things, and there are also a lot of criticisms about him."
"One person cannot satisfy everyone in the world, but maybe Hu Tielun is too high-profile, or his work is indeed a bit rough. Shu Ze is not the only one who criticizes him, but there are many people.
Some people say that he hides the real ones and sells the fake ones. Most of the ones he collects are genuine, and most of the ones he sells are high imitations. Some people also said that his things came from the wrong place. Some of them were genuine things bought from tomb robbers, and some were high imitations that he commissioned experts to secretly produce.
Someone else revealed with a clear eye that he would try to take the genuine items and high imitations he bought from tomb robbers abroad first and get an invoice to make a game. After two years, they will be declared back to the country through customs and painted with "export to domestic sales". In this way, the fake items are disguised as "porcelain for export" and are welcomed by buyers, while the real items bought from tomb robbers also escape the accountability of the Cultural Relics Protection Act.
Bian Mo listened to Shu Ze's words and said with a smile: "I may say something inappropriate. Although I don't know much about the antique industry, I also know that there are not many people in this industry who can pat their chests and guarantee that they are innocent. Like People like Hu Tielun who at least appear to be telling the truth can at least do business together."
Tian Mengmeng was a little unconvinced by Bian Mo's words. She felt that what Bian Mo said was too absolute, so she looked at Ren Kexin and Meng Zitao, wanting to hear their rebuttal.
Meng Zitao smiled euphemistically. Although he tried his best to keep himself "clean", the current situation of the industry he was in was like this. He could only live with the light. He could only say that he would try not to get involved if he could, but if he encountered When good things are unearthed, he will definitely accept them.
To use a somewhat righteous reason, if he doesn¡¯t accept it, who knows where it will go. If it has traveled across the ocean, it will undoubtedly cost more to ¡°bring it in¡± back in the future.
Tian Mengmeng found the sign given by Meng Zitao and felt a little disappointed. Ren Kexin said to her: "There is no way to complete the eggs after the nest is overturned. There are some things that can't be helped, and this industry is also a bit special. Maybe It may be standardized in the future, but it cannot be based on common sense now.¡±
Tian Mengmeng immediately changed her smile after hearing this: "Sister Xin, you don't have to enlighten me like this. I'm not an old master, so I can be so pedantic."
"Haha, it's good if you understand."
As everyone introduced Hu Tielun, Meng Zitao became more and more interested in him. To say that this person is indeed capable, when he was in junior high school, his parents died of illness one after another, leaving only him, his younger brother and sister in the family, so he even went to beg for food.
After that, he met a fellow villager who resold antiques, and helped him solicit customers at the antique market. After making some money, he started another business and started tinkering. He is able to endure hardships, is diligent and eager to learn, and with a little luck, he has suddenly reached such a big situation, which has to be admired.
