Jianbao life

Chapter 645
It's a pity that the weather is not good. In the early 90s, the operating conditions of state-owned companies went from bad to worse, even Ma Laocai's company was no exception.

In addition, Ma Laocai always took advantage of the company, and for this he cheated the company a few times, and the company lost a lot of money because of Ma Laocai's concealment, and his image in the company has always been good. No one found out.

Anyway, in the end, although not all of the company's collapse was due to Ma Laocai's relationship, Ma Laocai also "contributed" a large part of his strength.

Seeing that the company was ruined by himself, the company also started to lay off employees. Ma Laocai saw that it was difficult to get the company's oil, so he resigned under the banner of going to sea.Unexpectedly, he was praised by the boss of the company for setting an example. If he knew that Ma Laocai was involved in the company's situation at that time, I don't know how he would feel.

After resigning, Ma Laocai turned himself into a professional antique dealer. However, what made Ma Laocai miscalculate was that he had indeed made a lot of money because of his financial advantage.

But once he quit his job and lost his previous sources of funds, all living expenses would have to be deducted from the profits from selling antiques. In addition to rising prices and increased consumption, he still had a wife and children to support, and the whole family's living expenses would be reduced. became his burden.

Youdao is that the environment changes life. Seeing that the daily consumption at home is increasing, Ma Laocai sees money in his bones, and his mean temper towards people is revealed.

At the beginning, everyone still did business with Ma Laocai as before. After a few times, they found that Ma Laocai had a personality problem. I don't want to deal with him anymore.

For example, Mrs. Nian's wife's family suffered a loss from Ma Laocai once.

That was three months after Ma Laocai went to sea. Once, Mrs. Nian's natal family cleaned up the old house and found a blue and white bowl from the middle Qing Dynasty, and it was a product of a palace kiln. Given the current market value, it should be It can be worth 10,000+. Of course, it must not be worth that much at the time, but it can be sold for seven or eight thousand, which is considered a very good thing.

At that time, there happened to be a senior shovel receiving goods in the village. Hearing the news, he rushed over. After seeing the item, he expressed his desire to buy it for 200 yuan.

At that time, selling a bowl for 200 yuan was a very exciting thing. Besides, Mrs. Nian's family didn't understand antiques, so she was a little bit excited, but after all, it was something handed down from the ancestors, and it cost 200 yuan. I was a little reluctant to sell it, so I hesitated.

The senior shovel had seen many situations like this, and the only way to impress the other party was to add money, so while adding money, he was stubborn.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Nian's family members were also quite intelligent. Seeing the shovel keep adding money, they felt that this thing should be a good thing, so they bid 800 yuan, and they would not sell anything less.

800 yuan can be sold for 5000 to [-] yuan. Of course, ordinary shovels can’t sell things at the market price, but even if they only sell for [-] yuan, it is still a very good deal.How can ordinary people not be tempted by such a business?

However, as a businessman, he wants to pay less for himself. The key is that he doesn’t have enough money, so the shovel continues to grind with Mrs. Nian’s family, but Mrs. Nian’s family will definitely buy this shovel, even if the other party The bid was up to [-], but no one agreed.

There was no other way, so the shovel told Mrs. Nian's family to let them wait, and then went to the small shop at the head of the village, planning to call a friend to borrow money.

It's just that this man didn't speak clearly because of his impatience, which made Mrs. Nian's family think that he didn't want to buy it, so he gave Ma Laocai, who had been watching for a long time, a chance.

Ma Laocai went back to his hometown yesterday because of something to do, but he drank too much at night and woke up very late. When he heard the news, he hurried or let the shovel take the lead. I was so angry that I scolded my mother in my heart.

Although Ma Laocai is greedy for money and mean, he still has to abide by some rules of the antique business, so he can only watch from the sidelines and worry, and when the shovel goes to make a phone call, he jumps out quickly, Said he would buy it.

They are all from the village. Seeing that Ma Laocai wants to buy it, Mrs. Nian's family is also very happy, thinking that since they are from the village, Ma Laocai will definitely not let them suffer.

However, when talking about the price, Ma Laocai's mean and mean temper was revealed again. He didn't mention the price of [-], and he kept saying that this price was almost the market price, and he made hard money buying it.

Originally, Mrs. Nian's family was almost impatient because of the shovel just now. Not to mention that Ma Laocai had 20 yuan more than the previous one, and he was a neighbor in the village, so he agreed after thinking about it.In addition, Ma Laocai paid the money immediately in order to avoid long nights and dreams, so he was quite satisfied.

After an hour or two, the shovel borrowed the money and returned it. When I asked again, Mrs. Nian's family said it had been sold.Where is the shovel?After saying good things for a while, Mrs. Nian's family finally explained the situation in detail.

Ma Laocai was quite famous in the local antique market, so when Mrs. Nian's family told the story, the businessman could only sigh in his heart, counting him as unlucky.He stomped his feet, regretting it, and told people that he didn't make it clear just now, but he actually borrowed money, not to mention eight hundred, even if it was an additional two hundred, he still wanted things.

Shovel regretted it, and Mrs. Nian's family members were also very awkward. They believed the villagers just now, but the reality gave them a slap in the face.

In fact, one hundred less is one hundred less. In the final analysis, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Although Mrs. Niu's family members feel awkward, when the anger in their hearts passes, it is not enough to say that they will not associate with Ma Laocai's family for 100 yuan.

However, there is an old saying that there is no impenetrable wall in the world. By chance, Mrs. Nian's family found out that his blue and white bowl was sold by Ma Laocai for [-] taels. It's really choking.

You said that you are all neighbors in the same village, and it is understandable to earn some money, but you can clearly earn thousands of things, but you say that you can only earn some hard money at seven hundred, are you shameless?
However, the matter has come to this point, if you go to Ma Laocai to make trouble, he will not pay attention to you, and after all, it is a village, Mrs. Nian's family thinks that the trouble is too big, and the face of both parties is not good, but from then on, the two The family has never seen each other again.

On the contrary, Ma Laocai was quite calm about this, what should he do, the two families would not communicate if they did not communicate, and the position of director Nian was quite awkward at that time, so Ma Laocai didn't care. It was not until a few months ago that he really felt regret.

In fact, Ma Laocai is not only mean to sellers, but also to his peers.At that time, the owner of an antique shop next to him was named Ren Qiang. He was a straightforward person. Whether it was with friends or business, he was more happy. Many people liked to deal with this boss.

Just like Mrs. Niu's family thought, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Although some colleagues in the antique industry say they are enemies, Ren Qiang is straightforward, and when Ma Laocai did not go to sea before, the two sides had met several times, so Usually, the two get along pretty well. If there is nothing to do, Ma Laocai will go to Ren Qiang's shop to drink tea.

In this way, the time came to the first anniversary of Ma Laocai's opening of the store. At this time, Ma Laocai saw that Qian's eyes were wide open, and his mean temper towards people had spread. However, because Ren Qiang had never seen it with his own eyes, and the two got along better, he I didn't believe this, thinking that some people were jealous of Ma Laocai's good business and spread it on purpose.

On this day, because of the one-year anniversary of the opening of his antique shop, Ma Laocai calculated the one-year receipts and was very happy, so he bought some wine and food, called Ren Qiang over, and drank in his shop.

Just like that, when the two were enjoying their drinks, Ma Laocai wanted to pour wine for Ren Qiang again, but Ren Qiang refused, saying that an old client had a piece of Wang Duo's writing to transfer this afternoon, so he couldn't drink more.

This Wang Duo was a second minister, calligrapher and painter in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.In the second year of Apocalypse, he was a Jinshi, a Shujishi in the Imperial Academy, and a minister of the Ministry of Rites.In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Wang Duo was a bachelor of Dongge University. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs in 1644, he was awarded the Minister of Rites and the Bachelor of the Guanhong Academy of Arts, and he was added to the crown prince Shaobao. He died of illness in his hometown in 1652.

Wang Duo's calligraphy is unique, and he is known as "Wang Duo's magic brush" in the world.His calligraphy is as famous as Dong Qichang, and he was known as the "King of the South, Dong and North" at the end of the Ming Dynasty. His calligraphy brushes are out of the rules and in order, with a degree of relaxation, but full of free flow and great strength.Wang Duo is good at running cursive, with magnificent brushwork, vigorous and free and easy, dripping and joyful.

Dai Minggao said in "Wang Duo's Cursive Poetry Volume Postscript": "Yuanzhang (Mi Fu) talked about the law with wild grass, while Juesi talked about the momentum. , beyond the reach of Zhao and Dong."

Although Wang Duo has a high attainment in calligraphy, in history, he was included in the "Biography of Second Officials" because of his surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and was tainted by later generations.Affected by this, his calligraphy also suffered from neglect, and was once unknown in the world.Later, through the study of generations of descendants, Wang Duo's calligraphy became more and more brilliant, and was more and more respected and appreciated by everyone.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. Ma Laocai did not expect that someone would transfer Wang Duo's calligraphy works to Ren Qiang, which immediately made him envious and jealous.

You know, Wang Duo's calligraphy works are very popular in the market. He remembered that not long ago, a fan of Wang Duo's running script was sold at an auction house in Beijing for [-] yuan. Calligraphy works are not worth more than [-] yuan, and if the scale is larger, it will be even more incredible.

Moreover, although Ma Laocai didn't know how much money Ren Qiang had, he believed that even [-] would be enough, let alone [-].Thinking that Ren Qiang could earn [-] yuan or more in one transaction, Ma Laocai immediately got a red eye.
