Jin Yutong

Chapter 92 Deputy Director of the Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology

Chen Ran turned sideways and saw a middle-aged man in his forties with simple clothes calling him, he was surprised: "Are you calling me?"

The middle-aged man chased after two steps with a smile on his face, and when he got closer, he said again: "Little brother, the porcelain cup you are holding in your hand looks very beautiful to me. Where did you buy it? I just want to buy it too." One, um... Let’s do it, little brother, I’m going to enter the mountain later, I’m in a hurry, maybe it’s too late to make a trip, so just sell me your teacup, and go buy a new one, How much did you pay for it, I will give you another 20 yuan, what do you think?"

In a hurry?into the mountains?

Chen Ran shook his head, a little amused: "I'm really sorry, I just happen to be in a hurry to go into the mountain."

At this time, Guo Hai, who was standing on the other side of Chen Ran, suddenly leaned over to Chen Ran's ear, lowered his voice and said in surprise, "Ah Ran, this person is the one surnamed Wang who paid 30 for our broken pot yesterday." experts."

Hearing what Guo Hai said, Chen Ran was stunned, what a coincidence?

Such a coincidence?

The middle-aged man was also taken aback. He said the reason for entering the mountain casually, but he didn't expect that the other party would also rush into the mountain in a hurry. He never thought that Chen Ran was just fooling him. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. , his gaze suddenly noticed Guo Hai standing behind Chen Ran, and his eyebrows twitched.

Chen Ran and Guo Hai were going out of Huakang Market, and the middle-aged man came from outside. When he met Chen Ran, he suddenly noticed the porcelain cup in Chen Ran's hand, and turned around quickly caught up.

Ever since he saw the porcelain cup, except for taking a look at Chen Ran, his gaze never left the porcelain cup, and he didn't notice the existence of Guo Hai. Besides, he and Guo Hai only met once. Guo Hai also changed his clothes today, if you don't look carefully, you may not be able to recognize Guo Hailai at a glance.

Now he recognized that Guo Hai was the one who sold him the bronze musical instrument yesterday, and he was stunned for a while, before he sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that the two little brothers are also People of the same way, I thought...cough cough...disrespectful!"

Yesterday, although he did not believe that Guo Hai said that the broken pot was a family heirloom of Guo Hai, he also regarded Guo Hai as a person who was lucky enough to try to see if the broken pot was worth money, but he did not regard Guo Hai as an antique. people here.

Seeing the porcelain cup in Chen Ran's hand now, he couldn't imagine that yesterday's bronze musical instrument must have been bought by someone else. Thinking about it this way, he immediately looked up at the other party... Yesterday's bronze musical instrument must have been picked up by mistake Here, today’s teacup is obviously picked up by leaks. It’s not easy to pick up leaks now. If it’s someone else, it’s not bad to pick up leaks once a year. Some people don’t necessarily pick up leaks once in their lives. It's hard to say how lucky this person is that he picked up leaks for two days in a row, and they were all big leaks. If he said it, it wouldn't make people go crazy with envy. Even he also became a little jealous.

In fact, this is what Chen Ran wanted to avoid. When he went to the Literature and Art Association to transfer bronze instruments yesterday, the reason why he didn't follow him was because the Literature and Art Association generally wouldn't lower the price, but also because of his identity.

Guo Hai took it to sell, and people could tell that Guo Hai was a baby at a glance. Even if they didn't believe that the bronze musical instrument that Guo Hai said was a family heirloom of Guo Hai's family, they would not think of other aspects, but Chen Ran was different.

Chen Ran is a person in the antique industry. Although not many people know him, in fact, there are quite a few collectors in the Central Plains who know him. It's just that they have only heard of him, but they don't know who it is. Usually you can't recognize him when you meet, but if you don't fear ten thousand, you are afraid in case. If you happen to meet someone who recognizes him, if he says it is his family's heirloom, people will definitely not believe him and will only imagine it as something. He got it from Taobao.

Guo Hai is not a member of the circle, even if he sells a bronze musical instrument, it will not spread among the circle, but it will be different for Chen Ran, who is already well-known in the Central Plains collection circle, as long as anyone says it, It will definitely spread, even if you didn't recognize him at first, but after spreading, you will know it is him.

At that time, he had considered this point, so he didn't follow Guo Hai. When he transferred the Yuan blue and white bottom foot porcelain to Bai Lao, he made him stand out. At that time, he thought about keeping a low profile as much as possible in the future. Now he is indeed doing the same thing... It's just unexpected that he happened to meet the buyer today, and he and Guo Hai are still together. I found out, in this way, people can definitely guess that yesterday's broken jar was also picked up by leaks, plus the leaks picked up today, then he may not be able to keep a low profile if he wants to keep a low profile. I just hope that Mr. Wang in front of him is not a big mouth, Passed on both of these things.

Chen Ran was not so worried about whether it would be found that the broken pot was picked up from the Public Security Bureau. Don't say that the Mr. Wang in front of him didn't know the specific process. Going out, this is the rule of the antique business, not to mention that if it is passed on, he himself will be in trouble.

"Mr. Wang is polite!" Chen Ran nodded with a smile, as a greeting to the other party.

Knowing that Chen Ran is in the same league, Mr. Wang couldn't pick up on the leak, and he was not disappointed. He even apologized to Chen Ran. After apologizing, he hesitated for a moment, then looked at the porcelain cup in Chen Ran's hand: "Little brother, I wonder if you can let me take a closer look at your porcelain cup..."

"What's wrong with this, Mr. Wang, please take a look."

Chen Ran readily handed the teacup to Mr. Wang. Judging from the price Mr. Wang handed for the broken pot yesterday, he has a good sense of Mr. Wang.

After all, Guo Hai at that time was completely a baby. If this Mr. Wang wanted to lower the price, I am afraid it would be [-], let alone [-]. It is estimated that Guo Hai would agree to it at that time, but Mr. Wang did not do so. When Guo Hai reminded him whether he gave too much, he didn't mean to regret it at all. Obviously, from this point, we can see the character of this Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang held the teacup in both hands, held it steady, and then smiled at Chen Ran: "Okay, little brother, let go!" Hearing what he said, Chen Ran took his hand away. This is the rule in the antique business. When it comes to porcelain, if you are not familiar with it, you must be like this. Mr. Wang said this. If the porcelain suddenly falls on the ground and breaks, then the responsibility will be on Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang took the porcelain cup, looked at it, reached into his pocket, and 'felt' out a huge magnifying glass. After looking at it carefully for a long time, he let out a long breath: "Little brother, it turns out that not only He is a colleague, and he is still a master. It is really convincing to have such vision at such a young age."

"Mr. Wang won the prize, so I'm lucky." Chen Ran said politely and humbly. He wanted to ask the other party what kind of porcelain this teacup was, but thinking of his question, I'm afraid it would make people feel uncomfortable. People are suspicious. If you don't know what kind of porcelain it is, you can tell that it is an old thing. Isn't this a clear problem.

Hearing what Chen Ran said, Mr. Wang laughed: "Collecting this business depends on luck. Sometimes, luck is far more important than eyesight. Brother, don't underestimate luck. Without the luck of encountering good things, no matter how strong eyesight is, it is useless, but people who have such luck and such strong eyesight are rare, and I think the little brother is exactly such a person!"

Now he can see that the young man in front of him is an insider, and the other one is a layman.

After being said by Mr. Wang, Chen Ran didn't know what to say. He could only say that he didn't dare to take it, and took the teacup with both hands. At this time, the ivory longevity lock was still in his hand. After receiving the teacup, he put the ivory longevity lock into his pocket.

When putting it in, he suddenly 'touched' something in his pocket unintentionally, he almost didn't even think about it, he habitually took it out to have a look, and saw that it was the skull pendant.

Seeing that it was the skull pendant, he put it in his pocket again. The skull pendant had consumed so much of his energy circles, and there was no response at all. During this period of time, he almost forgot about it.

"what!"

Chen Ran just put the skull pendant in his pocket, when he suddenly heard Mr. Wang gasp, and said in surprise: "Little brother, can you let me see that thing just now?"

Chen Ran was startled, for a moment he didn't know what he wanted to see, so he looked up suspiciously, only to find that Mr. Wang was frowning at this moment, as if he had discovered something.

"It's the thing you just took out."

Mr. Wang pointed to Chen Ran's pocket and explained again, but at this moment his expression was a little urgent.

Skull Pendant!

Chen Ran's face changed. Is this Mr. Wang familiar with skull pendants?

You know, this skull pendant of his is somewhat similar to the vampire accessories or the accessories of the dazzlers that are rumored on the Internet. This Mr. Wang is suddenly interested in his skull pendant, which is naturally different from the interest of young people. Then, it is a bit intriguing. After all, no one who sees his thing will think it is an old thing.

Seeing Chen Ran's expression, Mr. Wang seemed to know that he was acting too hastily, so he smiled, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ran: "Little brother, this is my business card, you Let's take a look..."

Chen Ran took his business card over and took a look, and saw that it said Wang Zhiqing, deputy director of the Central Plains Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology. Seeing this name, Chen Ran couldn't help being a little surprised. The deputy director of the Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology has a lot of background.

Guo Hai also leaned his head over to take a look, and after he took a look, he was secretly dumbfounded. Just yesterday, he took this guy as two hundred and five, but he didn't expect that he was from the Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology, or the deputy director. The level is not low, but somehow he ran to his small county town.

This is also where Chen Ran was puzzled.

Perhaps seeing Chen Ran's doubts, Wang Zhiqing explained with a smile: "Recently, our archaeological team is doing archaeology locally, but it is still in the preparation stage..."

Hearing what he said, Chen Ran was relieved. Wang Zhiqing's hometown is Bishui. During this time, he led an archaeological team to conduct archaeological work locally, but he was still in the preparation stage, so he took advantage of this spare time to return to his hometown for a while It’s not so easy to go home. Now that the archaeological research has not started this time, he can be regarded as a vacation for himself.

After knowing Wang Zhiqing's identity, Chen Ran handed the skull pendant to Wang Zhiqing.

After Wang Zhiqing took it, he looked at it with a magnifying glass with a dignified expression, and just took a look, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he frowned, and he was mumbling something, Chen Ran couldn't hear what he was doing. He muttered something and moved closer.

Only after hearing Wang Zhiqing's words clearly, Chen Ran's expression changed...
