Riding the wind of rebirth

"Ah?" Tao Ming felt like his brain was going to be burnt to a pulp: "This...is this the best?"

After speaking, he pointed to himself and Zhou Zhi's side: "What about these two?"

"These two are pretty good." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Including this bottom bracket, it's also pretty good."

After speaking, he poured the cup of tea in front of Manager Zhang into the trash can, revealing the pattern inside, and then placed the lid next to the tea bowl: "Qianlong official kiln enamel color folded branch peach chrysanthemum peony pomegranate flower pattern cover bowl, we want this. "

Manager Zhang's lips trembled and trembled, and finally stomped: "Take it away!"

"Wait!" Tao Ming on the side seemed to have discovered something: "Wait! This thing can't be fake, right?"

"What?" Manager Zhang and Zhou Zhi were taken aback. They looked at each other with the same thought in their minds. Did this antique stick see something that we didn't see?
Tao Ming said solemnly: "Look at the elbow, is there any problem with this pattern?"

"What's the problem?"

"Peach blossoms, peonies, chrysanthemums, pomegranates, they are not in the same season! Now they are all in one place, this... is unreasonable?!"

"Hahahahaha..." Manager Zhang and Zhou Zhi couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"Why... did I... say something wrong?" Tao Ming guessed that he was making a joke, and murmured.

"Brother-in-law, this theme is a common theme on Qing Dynasty porcelain. Several kinds of flowers that do not appear in the same season are depicted on a piece of porcelain. This is actually based on the theme of the Song Dynasty brocade. Four Seasons'!"

However, Manager Zhang accepted his account this time and agreed to Zhou Zhi to take away the enamel colored tureen, which made Zhou Zhi raise his opinion of him a little bit.

The enamels of the third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty have already gained popularity in Hong Kong Island. If you meet a good buyer in the auction, it may not be worth a million dollars.

After all, the famous Xinglin Chunyan painting small bowl overseas that has repeatedly achieved good auction results is made of enamel. It was sold for one million Hong Kong dollars in [-], and it will be sold for [-] million in more than ten years. [-] billion, completely open the upper ceiling of the enamel color.

Now this bowl is at the same level of craftsmanship as that bowl, both from the imperial kiln, and the glaze is also the same. Although there is no hype process like the small bowl of Xinglin Chunyan Picture, even if it follows the trend, it only has one more lid than that bowl. In the end, the value may be comparable.

Of course, this thing is not treated so well in China now, and the market price has not yet risen. According to the current domestic comparison with overseas movements, divide by ten to calculate, [-] to [-], which is a reasonable price for exchanges among insiders.

Even so, the cheapness is a bit big, Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "It's just a joke with Manager Zhang, how about it, we will not be polite about the blue and white enamel bowl, but for this enamel covered bowl, please ask Manager Zhang to make a price. If it suits, let's get over it."

Manager Zhang has been completely convinced by this point, knowing why his titular immediate boss values ​​a teenager who just graduated from high school so much, and said with a smile: "Mr. , please open it, I will recognize as many as you want."

Zhou Zhi took out the checkbook: "Then I'll write you a check for 10 yuan, but this time you have to write the invoice for us?"

"Okay!" This tureen is considered a high-quality product in the Yuzhou Cultural Relics Store, but the price is actually not high in the industry. Mr. Zhou is a bachelor, and he also kept a little profit for himself. Manager Zhang couldn't help calling it a fluke.

After a while, the invoices came up, but there were three invoices, even including the blue and white plate of Tongzhi opera from last time.

But when he was collecting things, Tao Ming actually put away the two tureen bowls that he and Zhou Zhi drank tea with, and honestly prepared to take them away.

Those two are imitations of modern craftsmanship, not worth much at all, so Manager Zhang just let him, and he didn't bother to stop them.

Coming out of the cultural relics store, Zhou Zhi and Tao Ming got into the car, bid farewell to Manager Zhang who respectfully delivered them to the door, and then drove towards Sangu's house.

Tao Ming finally let out a rough breath, and shouted loudly: "It's too dark—your business is really too dark—a hundred times, a thousand times darker than our clothing business!"

After shouting, I felt a little more comfortable: "But what you said, elbow, is so right. It is true that snakes have snakes, cats have cats, insiders and outsiders, there are two kinds of treatment in the world! It's you The barrier to entry is too high, I can see clearly today, it is really difficult to enter this gate!"

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Actually, this is not my profession. I am learning Chinese, so doing this can only be regarded as a hobby..."

"Don't!" Tao Ming shook his head: "You are an expert, an expert that even the manager of Yuzhou cultural relics store admires! If you are still an amateur, then your sister and I can only be regarded as purely illiterate!"

"By the way, brother-in-law, I was too embarrassed to ask just now, why did you collect those two bowls?" Zhou Zhi couldn't help laughing: "Those two imitation enamel things are foreign exchange-earning handicrafts after re-opening."

"Anyway, I can't tell the difference from the one you bought for 10 yuan." Tao Ming said with a smile, "I'm just annoyed that the general manager bullied me, and I took it home and put it in my study. It's a trophy! Hey, you Do you think those two bowls... are the most elegant things in my study?"

Thinking of Tao Ming's study, Zhou Zhi couldn't help laughing, and said, "This kind of tureen doesn't have a bottom support. It was that manager Zhang who fooled us before. You don't need to add a bottom support when you take it back, or it will fall into the eyes of experts. It's a joke instead."

"I don't really understand what happened today. Didn't you say yesterday that the general manager of the provincial company asked him to bring us a big opener? Why is it so confusing?"

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I'm not convinced. Nowadays, many local companies are independent contractors and are responsible for their own profits and losses. For the head office, it means 'listen to the tune and not the announcement'."

"This situation is actually not surprising, but I really have to remind Uncle Fei when I go back. Since you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses, you must also distinguish between responsibilities and rights. Don't just watch them when they are eating and drinking soup, and ask them to wait until they are out of the basket. Helping the higher ups settle things down, or even being implicated, and taking a lot of joint and several responsibilities, that would be an unwarranted disaster."

In fact, this is also a current "strange status quo". It belongs to the process of initial marketization. The rights and responsibilities between the headquarters and branches of the enterprise are not clear, the management is unscientific, and the system is not standardized. Phenomenon.

And the funniest thing is that these rebellious subordinates are often capable, adapt to market competition, know what to do, and often get the support and even protection of other local forces such as local governments and financial institutions. In the local area, only the poor right to appoint and remove personnel remains.

If there are no replaceable talents, if the headquarters' method of attracting money mainly relies on the local branch, it will often be manipulated in reverse, and it really has to turn a blind eye to it.

Yuzhou cultural relics store has such a trend now. Although they are generally still listening to greetings, they are still a little bit cautious. This matter has not been solved yet. If you really want to give Fei Guan some advice, Zhou Zhi thinks that the responsibility and power should be clearly divided. Don't be implicated by Yuzhou, protecting yourself is the best policy at present.

For the rest, apply the old saying in the middle of Sichuan - if you walk too much at night, you will always bump into ghosts.
