wife's secret

Chapter 19 The Uninvited Guest from the South

"I was afraid that my parents would find out about this and worry about me, so I didn't tell anyone." I explained briefly, and then asked, "I heard from my family that you traveled far away. Where did you go? Why did you leave so quickly?" came back?"

"We'll talk about this later." Dunzi took me to where he was standing, pointed to the strange man who was talking to him just now, and introduced to me, "Aqiu, just came back from the south with me..."

Then he introduced me to the other party, "This is my brother, Chen Yang."

The strange man looked me up and down, held my hand, and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to know Mr. Chen, it's good, it's good."

The man spoke with a strong southern accent.

I don't know who this guy named Aqiu is, but when he was about to ask, Dunzi spoke first, "Brother, did you rent or buy the place of Hejude Auction House?"

"Rented. Signed a ten-year rental agreement."

"now what?"

"After the auction house closed down, the landlord saw that I was in a difficult situation and offered to sign a supplementary agreement, so he took the house back."

"So that's it. It's a pity."

I thought it was a pity that Dunzi said that the auction house closed down, so I laughed at myself: "It's all my carelessness. Spend money to buy a lesson."

Dunzi said: "I'm not talking about the auction house closing down, it's a pity that you returned the place to the owner."

I was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"Brother, look..." Dunzi raised his head to signal.

Only then did I notice that the door plaque of Hejude Auction House had been changed, with the seven characters "Ninghua Real Estate Sales Office" written on it.

I laughed, "What's the matter? The house is taken back, and they can do whatever they want. We don't care about them."

Dunzi said: "My Miao friend just saw it. This place is a cornucopia. What is it called a white tiger to eliminate evil spirits? What else is there..."

"Let me tell you,"

Aqiu smiled and took the words, "This place is the center of the city, with high-rise buildings behind it. It is famous as a big backer. There is a row of one-story houses in front. There is a row of famous books in front. There is a continuous ancient street on the left, named Qinglongju Zuoshou Caimen On the right there are shops connected together, called White Tiger Eliminating Evil. In short, this place is called I sit in the treasure basin. Mr. Chen, you shouldn’t transfer this place.”

I half understood what I heard, let alone why Dunzi brought a southerner. When I wanted to ask, Dunzi said, "This is not a place to talk. Let's go and find a secluded place."

I took Dunzi and Aqiu into a tavern by the side of the road and sat down in a private room where no one was disturbed. I ordered a few dishes and ordered a few bottles of beer.Chatted with Dunzi and the friend named Aqiu he brought.

It turned out that, as I expected, Dunzi really went to the south to find the seller to settle accounts with the Ru kiln sky blue glaze bowl he bought for 120 million.After seeing the seller, Dunzi put the things down, and angrily asked why the other party sold him a fake product.The other party said a word, which immediately left Dunzi speechless.The other party said, the things are here, one is willing to sell, and the other is willing to buy, and I didn't say that this thing is genuine, why are you angry?

Dunzi felt that what the other party said was reasonable.It's really good, but they didn't say that the item was genuine, and you paid for it voluntarily, who is to blame?Just as he was calling himself unlucky, Tunzi was greatly surprised by the other party's next sentence.The other party said, if you regret buying this thing, it doesn't matter, keep the thing, and the money will be refunded to you.

Dunzi went to find the seller with the imitation-ru kiln sky blue glazed bowl. Let me teach you a lesson. In short, the purpose of going to the south is to beat the other party to vent their anger.However, I never expected that the other party would happily say that they could retreat.Dunzi hesitated. He remembered what I said to him, as long as he doesn't meet the experts of the Forbidden City, it's no problem to get it on the black market and sell it for several million. After some consideration, he decided not to return.

When Dunzi left, he was stopped by the seller.The other party asked Dunzi, who told him that this bowl was not genuine, and Dunzi said my name, and he gave me a big blow, saying that I am Chen Yang, a leader of the younger generation in the archaeological field, and I am the Yangtze River. The representative of the waves pushing the waves ahead, in short, he uses whatever words he uses.

The man said to Dunzi that I want to meet the person you mentioned is Chen Yang, I wonder if it is possible.

Dunzi readily agreed. He felt that the other party's business integrity was too outrageous, and it was worth handing over.The other party made a request, saying that he couldn't do without something, and wanted to send someone to Ningzhou City to invite me over.

Dunzi said that I can't decide this matter, and I have to seek my brother's opinion.So, the other party sent Aqiu to Ningzhou City from the south with Dunzi.

Dunzi's words aroused my great interest. There is actually such a businessman. I want to learn more about that person's situation through Aqiu.I looked at Aqiu again, he was 24 to [-] years old, he was thin, and he was shrewd and capable.

I filled a glass of beer and handed it to Aqiu, "It's the first time we meet, let me toast you."

Aqiu quickly declined, "Thank you for your kindness. However, I never drink alcohol."

"It's just a glass of beer, it's okay." I know that southerners are generally not good at drinking, but I have already brought the wine to the other party. If the other party doesn't drink it, I will lose face.

"Brother, don't force him. On the way from the south by the high-speed rail, I drank beer and ate roast chicken to make myself comfortable, but Ah Qiu not only didn't drink alcohol, he rarely even touched meat. A bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables."

I criticized Dunzi, "You have food and drink for yourself, so you don't care about your friends?"

"Brother, you have wronged me. I ordered the best lunch box for Ah Qiu on the high-speed rail. It has chicken legs and braised pork, which is hearty enough. However, Ah Qiu hardly touches meat, and only picks a few chopsticks to eat vegetables. "

I found it strange and asked Aqiu, "You're not a vegetarian, are you?"

Aqiu said: "In the past, I not only ate meat, but also drank alcohol. After following Mr. Lu, after a long time, under the influence of Mr. Lu, I gradually became less interested in meat. For wine, Mr. Lu hates the smell of alcohol the most, so I dare not even touch a drop. Over time, the contents of this cup will no longer be with me. However, I think this is very good, very good."

"Who is Mr. Lu?"

"My master is a master at making antiques. Of course, it's my wishful thinking. Mr. Lu doesn't accept apprentices." Aqiu replied, "Chen Dadun's azure-glazed bowl was bought from Mr. Lu."

"It turns out that the Mr. Lu you mentioned is that...a master!" I was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Ah Qiu, "Could it be that Mr. Lu made the azure-glazed bowl that Dunzi bought for 120 million yuan himself?"

"Is such that."

"Ah!?" I opened my mouth in surprise.

I thought the azure-glazed bowl was received by the seller, that is, the Mr. Lu that Aqiu said, through other channels, but I didn't think it was made by him himself.

This Mr. Lu is a rare person who makes high imitation antiques in the world today.

I poured myself a glass of beer and said to Aqiu, "Okay. I promise to go to the south with you."

Aqiu saw me very cheerfully, and said repeatedly: "It's good, it's good."

The next topic turned to Hejude Auction House, and Dunzi said, "Okay, why did it go bankrupt? What happened?"

I told you about the auction of fake blue and white tower pots from the Tang Dynasty as real ones.After listening, Aqiu was silent.Dunzi didn't explain: "Fakes are sold as real ones. This kind of thing is not uncommon in auction houses. How did you ruin your reputation and even close the auction house?"

I said: "Things are not as simple as you think. The blue and white tower pot of the Tang Dynasty contained the Persian blue and white material Sumaliqing. This discovery has epoch-making significance. Because according to historical documents, the production of blue and white porcelain originated in the Tang Dynasty. The craftsmanship and production level are far from mature. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the Persian blue and white material Sumaliqing was added, and its quality was improved. The Tang Dynasty blue and white tower jar auctioned by Hejude Auction House actually contains Persian blue and white material. It means history has to be rewritten..."

"If it was auctioned quietly, of course it would be all right. At that time, in order to fetch a high price, Hejude Auction House did a lot of homework to fully publicize this Tang Dynasty blue and white tower-shaped pot. When the foreigner knew about it, he was greatly interested. On the day of the auction, after raising the price several times, the foreigner won the bid as he wished.”

"Two months after the incident, Hejude Auction House was suddenly sued for alleged fraud, and said that the person who was defrauded was Mr. Asiyang, the president of the International Chinese Culture Research Association."

"The impact of this incident was extremely bad. My reputation was ruined, Chen Yang, and I was even fined for compensating the other party's losses. I went out for 3000 million yuan at once. Alas! Just like this, the Hejude Auction House and I collapsed all of a sudden..."

Dunzi listened very attentively. After listening to me, he narrowed his eyes, "Brother, that's not right."

"No?" I was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"I think you've been tricked!"
