National Tide 1980.

Chapter 457
A real person doesn't show his face, and a real person doesn't show his face.

Ning Weimin felt this sentence from the bottom of his heart today.

He knew that at this time, if he said "disrespect" or "admired for a long time", it would be very vulgar and hypocritical.

I simply shook my head and said a joke 30 years later.

"No wonder, co-author, I have been challenging your major with my hobby. Ouch, I am too self-sufficient, I make you laugh."

Sure enough, the middle-aged man, namely Ye Hemin, laughed heartily because of his teasing.

"Young people, don't underestimate yourself. Knowledge is knowledge. I also take up this job because I love ceramics. As for my eyesight is stronger than yours, it's just because I'm older than you and have more experience. The key is that any one Knowledge takes time to accumulate, no matter who we are, there is no shortcut.”

Ning Weimin nodded to show that he was taught, but at the same time, his mood was very complicated.

For no other reason, it is of course pleasant to pick up other people's leaks, but the reverse is not a pleasure.

He watched helplessly at the porcelain cup that Ye Hemin placed on the table.

emotion?Pity?excited?at a loss?Heartache?

Even he himself couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

That feeling, if you describe it, is like walking carelessly and bumping your nose against an electric pole.

It's neither heavy nor light, but it's sour and uncomfortable, and it's embarrassing.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but start to test, wanting to use money to keep things.

"Master Ye, the leak you picked up is so enviable. This porcelain cup from the Sui Dynasty should be worth a lot of money. How much do you think it is worth?"

But he didn't expect that the word "money" couldn't be mentioned at all. When Ye Hemin heard this, his face became serious.

"What do you mean? Taking money as an example is to defile the national treasure. How can I be so vulgar?"

Ning Weimin said that shit eaters are pedantic.

But on the surface, he explained with a smile on his face.

"No, no, what I mean is, since you are an expert in ceramics, you must have no shortage of such ancient things in your home. But I have never seen anything before the Song and Yuan Dynasties. I am looking for such a piece that is more than 1000 years old. Things are too difficult."

"You must understand that when learning ceramics, there is a big difference between being able to see the real thing and not being able to see it, and it is also two different things being able to touch it and not being able to touch it. Of course I hope to have such a sample in my hand that I can always ponder over. If you I can’t thank you enough for giving it to me.”

"Of course, I also understand that you haven't warmed your hands yet. Maybe you are reluctant or have some concerns. I can assure you that you can play with this thing first, and I will take it away in a month. And when I As long as I have it in hand, I will never sell it again. Don't think I work in a foreign company, but I also know how to cherish the cultural heritage of our ancestors..."

Because Ning Weimin said the word "even" under the banner of learning.

Ye Hemin's face finally calmed down, but he still shook his head.

"No, no, I can understand if you want to learn. But this is not an ordinary thing. There are only three porcelain cups in the Sui Dynasty in the country, and this one is still the best preserved. It is more than 300 years old. It is a miracle that it has been kept until now, this is a masterpiece..."

Hearing what he said, Ning Weimin thought it was time to raise the price.

"You can set the price as you like, and I can buy it with foreign exchange certificates. As long as you ask, I will definitely not answer back. I will definitely satisfy you."

Then he greeted Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng next to him.

"Hey, you two, someone help me go to the accounting office next door and ask, how much cash do we have in the safe today?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Hemin was the only one who resented Ye Hemin even more with his rich and powerful style.

This guy actually stood up, put the money on the table, and left on the spot.

"I'm sorry, please don't force others. I don't sell this thing."

Seeing this scene, Ning Weimin was anxious, but suddenly he had an idea, and remembered that he had picked out a few good pieces of porcelain from Sun Wufu's collection in the past two days, so he made up his mind to shoot The thigh also stood up and chased after him.

"Hey, Master Ye. You stay behind. I was wrong, I was wrong, I understand now, you don't love money."

"If that doesn't work, what do you want me to exchange for you? I still have a few pieces of Kangyong porcelain here, which must be from official kilns. Let's exchange four pieces for one at the head office, right?"

"The appearance is almost perfect, you can tell it at a glance, anyway, I can't fool you, you are not at a loss..."

After saying this, Ye Hemin finally calmed down and stayed behind.

But it is a pity that although he was a little moved by Ning Weimin's sincerity, the answer he gave was still disappointing.

"Young man, I believe you really love this cup. If you are really willing to exchange four intact Kangyong porcelain official kilns with me, even if there are four bowls and dishes, I will make money at the official price of the cultural relics store. This is enough Prove your sincerity. So I won't tell you about the "60 years of Qianlong as the dividing line for defining antiquities". I'll tell you directly. It's not about money. This thing should not be privately owned, even I don't qualify myself. I bought it to donate to the country. Got it?"

Ning Weimin never expected such an answer.

After a long pause, he uttered a sentence.

"I... understand, you are patriotic and selfless. You are the contemporary Zhang Boju."

Ye Hemin's mouth twitched, and he shook his head.

"Don't put a high hat on me. I can't compare with 'Master Youchun'. What they donated are all top national treasures. No one can afford any of the 110 eight items. Compared with those things, the material value of this porcelain cup is not as good as even one ten-millionth."

"But there is one thing. There are only three such porcelain cups in the country. Such things have not been recorded in the history of porcelain in the past. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the gap was filled, but there are still few real objects. As an important material for the study of ancient ceramics, it Its academic value is irreplaceable and immeasurable."

"So I think whether it's me or you, or anyone else, as long as it is a private possession of such a thing, it is a crime. It will be sorry for our country and nation. What do you think?"

Ye Hemin left just like that, but the words he left behind were resounding.

Ning Weimin was ashamed.

After sending Ye Hemin away, he kept staring at the money Ye Hemin left on the table, sitting in a daze.

It's strange to say that Ye Hemin taught him such a lesson, although he felt that Ye Hemin's non-humanity was a bit out of touch with reality, and he thought Ye Hemin was ridiculously pedantic, and he would regret today's choice sooner or later.

But it is impossible not to respect such a person from the bottom of my heart.

He was once again clearly aware of an inexplicable contradiction in his character.

Indeed, he would not do things that sacrificed his own interests for the sake of the overall situation.

Even he looks down on those who call on others to do this, thinking it is a kind of moral kidnapping.

But when someone really took the initiative to do this, he couldn't help but be convinced.

Even he didn't want to hear others ridicule and ridicule about it.

Isn't it weird?

For example, Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng were sitting in the corner of the room at this time, and there were whispers coming from them.

"My God. I didn't expect that porcelain cup to be an antique from the Sui Dynasty. Didn't that person make a lot of money?"

"No, the older the antique, the more valuable it is, is there even a question?"

"Hey, do you think that person is here to trick you? He deliberately didn't sell that porcelain cup to our manager and said he would donate it. Why don't I believe it? If you donate something so valuable, you can donate it? Could it be that he decided Someone will pay a higher price?"

"I think so. Of course, there is another possibility. Think about it, he bought that cup for so little money. Maybe he was embarrassed to sell it to our manager..."

Only then did Ning Weimin realize that they hadn't dealt with their affairs, and he felt annoyed and funny.

"Stop talking nonsense, both of you. He is a real ancient porcelain expert. It couldn't be easier for him to make money with this ability. What's more, you don't understand what price I offered him. There is no way A higher price than mine."

"Let me tell you one more thing, don't watch people order dishes in the future, what a shame. Today's incident really made this person anxious. Don't say anything else, go to the Cultural Relics Bureau and sue us for selling antiquities, that's enough We're closed for good."

"I have suffered a loss this time, so I have to remember it. If it is cloudy, it may not rain in that cloud. We are in the service industry. What is the purpose of me training you to improve service quality? Even if you can't please customers At least you can’t make customers anxious, right?”

Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng blushed from the training, but they couldn't help being wronged.

One said, "Manager, we didn't intend to offend him, but he paid so much for a cup, it's really suspicious."

Another said, "That's right, we all thought that the Price Bureau wanted to trouble us. We are also doing it for your own good."

Ning Weimin just slapped the table.

"This is something you should worry about. You have good intentions, but you can do bad things with good intentions! What do you mean by performing your own duties? Don't you know where you went wrong?"

Both girls were dumbfounded, pouted at the same time.

Judging by the shape, it almost catches up with the mouth of the Sui Dynasty porcelain cup.
