"Mr. Chen, thank you for your appraisal, I trust your judgment."

Mo Liming thanked with a smile, although at this moment, his heart was so excited, but he still tried his best to suppress the most intense joy gushing out of his heart, and did not show it on his face. In the auction house and antique shop, there should be less "fuss". In the general trading field, even if a real expert sees a good thing he has been longing for for a long time, he will not be overly happy in front of others. His emotions are engraved on his face, because he can cover up his true thoughts in a timely manner, which is conducive to gaining a certain advantage in price negotiations. Although Mo Liming is not an expert now, he is here after all. Having been in the group for such a long time, he has acquired certain unique qualities of this group of people.

"Xiao Mo, you are welcome." Chen Hanwen said with a smile, "The book in your hand is really good, and it will definitely not be a problem if it sells for more than [-]!"

He stared at Mo Liming with piercing eyes, and once again firmly confirmed his opinion.

"Well, that's good." Mo Liming nodded cheerfully and said, "Mr. Chen, I have a request."

"Tell me." Chen Hanwen said kindly.

Mo Liming said: "I want to resell this Song edition book as soon as possible. Can you help me contact collectors who like to collect paintings and calligraphy to see who needs them. I know you are highly respected in the industry, and you must know many collectors. Mr. Chen, I'm really asking you mercilessly, so I'm sorry for your trouble."

He was modest and polite, and spoke sincerely. Chen Hanwen hurriedly said: "I have many friends who like to collect ancient books. Xiao Mo, I promise you, I will find out for you as soon as possible. You must be in urgent need of money." ?”

Chen Hanwen actually accepted Mo Liming's pleading without hesitation. Hearing his words, Mo Liming was inexplicably surprised in his heart, and was very moved and grateful. He said quickly, his tone could not help being a little excited: "Mr. Chen, thank you very much! Let me tell you the truth, my sister is seriously ill and needs money for treatment. The medical expenses are quite high. I have no other better way than selling this book for money. gone."

"Oh, that's it." Chen Hanwen suddenly realized, "I just thought about it. If you are not in a hurry, the company will accept it for you and then go to the auction. I want to make an appointment at the summer auction in more than two months. You can get a high price, maybe around 30 yuan, but you are in such a hurry, so forget it, and think of other ways."

"Yes." Mo Liming nodded resolutely. He didn't expect that the other party was so considerate of himself. He is really a good leader and elder, who understands and cares about others.

"As the saying goes, 'saving the emergency is not helping the poor', Xiao Mo, since your family is in such a difficult situation, and your sister is still waiting for money to treat her illness, so why not do this, I have accepted this book, and the price is what I estimated just now That price, 18-20, I don’t want to take advantage of you, this book is worth the price.” Unexpectedly, Chen Hanwen suddenly put down his words in a loud voice, saying that he himself is willing to buy this ancient history book .

"Mr. Chen, if you want it, I can only sell it to you for 18 yuan. You see, you have done me such a big favor. How can I not thank you?!"

As a result, Mo Liming was even more delighted. If Chen Hanwen wanted to accept it, he would be able to avoid a lot of detours. If he got the money and treated his sister earlier, she would have a little more hope of recovery.

"Xiao Mo, you are too polite." Chen Hanwen said with a smile, "1 yuan is not important to me, but it means a lot to you, so don't say anything now. I bought it from you, and I will fetch the money tomorrow morning and give it to you, it’s okay if you slow down, right?”

"No problem!" Mo Liming nodded without hesitation, "Mr. Chen, I know you have very good eyesight, and you won't miss things when you see things. Just in case, do you need to make a carbon fourteen test paper for that book first?" Experiment, to identify and date the paper of the book?"

"Oh, no more!" Chen Hanwen shook his head resolutely, and said, "Xiao Mo, there is a category of items in the antique shop that we call 'open door goods', which means that these collections can be seen at a glance. There is no need to do too many appraisals, let alone scientific appraisals."

He seems to have a confident look, which shows that he is very confident. Of course, Mo Liming also hopes this is the case, so he will not send the book to the relevant cultural relics department for appraisal, otherwise he will have to wait for a few more days Time, he, Mo Liming, can't afford to wait.

"Mr. Chen, I understand." Mo Liming said contentedly.

Chen Hanwen said: "Hey, the woodblock printing technology in ancient times developed year by year. By the time of the Song Dynasty, the woodblock printing industry was already very prosperous, which created conditions for the wide spread and popularization of books. Because of its exquisite engraving and rare circulation, printed books present a unique philological value. In connection with this, most people in the world regard Song version books as valuable, either for academic study, or to show off their wealth; or cherish them, or worship them : The style of the Song Dynasty became a secular painting. The engraving and printing technology of the Song Dynasty has reached maturity. Both the writing and the engraving are quite exquisite, forming a distinctive feature of the times, and being admired and imitated by future generations. Therefore, it is conceivable how popular it is in the collection field. It's very welcome!"

He suddenly opened the book and began to explain it like talking to himself. Mo Liming knew that the other party was very knowledgeable, and when he talked about the origin of the Song version of the book, he naturally articulated it and came at his fingertips.

Mo Liming squinted his eyes, smiled and said, "President Chen, as long as you like it."

"To tell you the truth, I like it very much." Chen Hanwen raised his face suddenly and said, "I am a person obsessed with antiques, especially for the things from the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, Xiao Mo, if you pick up such things again in the future Good things, don’t forget about me, if you sell it to me, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely accept it.”

"Okay, I will!" Mo Liming agreed without hesitation.

After the two chatted for a while, Mo Liming stood up and said goodbye, and Chen Hanwen also got up and said, "You should take this book away, and you can give it to me when we trade tomorrow."

As he spoke, he gently pushed the book to Mo Liming's hand, but Mo Liming shook his head firmly and said, "Mr. Chen, take it. You are an expert, know those things, and put them on me I don't see any reason for it, anyway, the book will soon be yours."

"Xiao Mo, do you trust me so much? Are you afraid that I will not admit it?" Chen Hanwen joked.

Mo Liming shook his head heavily, and said, "You are the person I admire the most. If I don't trust you, who else should I trust? Mr. Chen, I'm leaving first."

After all, he turned around and left.

Holding the book, Chen Hanwen couldn't put it down, and immediately sent him out.

After Mo Liming came out of Chen Hanwen's office, he walked quickly towards the entrance of the company. He had to have a bite of food first, and then go to the dormitory to have a good sleep. He could get 20 when he came together tomorrow.

"Mo Liming—"

Just as he was walking to the door, he suddenly heard a slightly surprised greeting coming from the front right.
