Chapter Ninety-Two: A Gift of Fame
Because Zhang Nan did not have much appetite for the porcelain, bronze and calligraphy and paintings in the store, Boss Ma, who had completed the business, was very interested and wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Boss Zhang, some time ago, Da-Lu-Zai sent something strange, I ate it, why don't you take a look at it again?"
He didn't know that Zhang Nan was a "big-land-boy", and thought he was a Chinese-American.
However, although Zhang Nan was unhappy in his heart, he was not really angry: this will be in Xiangjiang on this situation, what kind of idleness will be done, and he can't do it.
The reaction of others was also normal: Nicole couldn't understand at all, and the two Master Chen always thought that Zhang Nan was also Chinese-American.
"What's that?"
"Three large lacquerware boxes, all of which are bamboo slips, should be from the Warring States period. ”
When Zhang Nan heard this, he said with a smile: "Hehe, Boss Ma, there are not many people who buy this kind of thing, beware of smashing it in your hands." ”
Ancient bamboo slips, this thing has great historical and cultural research value, but in addition to special research institutes, museums, and universities, there are really few people who want it.
"Beware of smashing in your hands" is not a curse on people's business losses, but a kind reminder after the previous business is completed.
"Boss Zhang doesn't have a big appetite?"
"Forget it, it's rare to come back, take it out and take a look. ”
This thing is rare, except in the museum, Zhang Nan has only seen it once after playing with antiques for more than 20 years.
After a while, three lacquerware boxes were placed on the table of the Eight Immortals in the living room, each more than forty centimeters long!
Warring States wooden tire lacquer box, very thick and heavy, this size alone is extremely rare!
"Zhu paints the inside, and the ink dyes the outside"!
All three are opened, and the inside of the vessel is painted vermilion, the color is bright and warm, and the exterior is black lacquered, highlighting the silence and solemnity. The contrast between red and black brings out the elegance and magnificence of ancient Chinese lacquerware!
However, these three lacquerware boxes are not the protagonists, and each box is wrapped in a thick transparent plastic bag with at least a few hundred pieces of light bamboo slips!
There is water in the bag, which is to prevent the bamboo slips from drying out and fading.
Zhang Nan is not an expert in ancient bamboo slips, but he was also attracted.
Opening one of the bags, Boss Ma took out a large bundle, put it in a water tray, and motioned to look at it casually.
In the early and early Warring States period, Zhang Nan knew a few percent of the Chu script!
"This is not easy to recognize! Boss Ma knows?" Zhang Nan wore rubber gloves and carefully took out one with both hands and looked at it.
Boss Ma smiled wryly: "I can't find anyone in Hong Kong who knows me, and the master I invited can only confirm that it is the Chu script, so I can recognize a little bit, it should be a chronicle." ”
Xiangjiang, after all, is a little smaller.
Zhang Nan looked at it for a while, and even Jenny and the others had already completed the transfer and came back.
Studying bamboo slips is a meticulous job, no one bothered Zhang Nan, but Boss Ma asked people to go to a nearby restaurant and order a table of wine to send it, and it was time for lunch.
Satisfied with Zhang Nan's high-roller hospitality, there will be big business in the future: Zhang Nan left the phone number of Nicole's home to Boss Ma, and if there are good goods in the future, you can contact you directly by phone.
Look at it, the meat-play is coming.
"Who has no fault? ”
finally recognized a passage on one of the bamboo slips, and Zhang Nan had a bottom in his heart.
The meals in the restaurant were all delivered, and it was not polite, Zhang Nan and the others used some with the boss's father and son. He ate the medicinal diet in the morning, and then another meal in the evening.
I saw less than one-tenth of it, put back the bamboo slips in the first box, and randomly selected dozens of them from the second box to inspect.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Nan recognized a paragraph again: "Meat eaters despise and fail to plan far." ”
Motioning for things to be put back and resealed, the bamboo slips in the third box don't need to be inspected - they are definitely bamboo slips from more than 2,000 years ago, even the box!
Lacquerware is not easy to recognize, especially the difference between Han Dynasty lacquerware and Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States period lacquerware, Zhang Nan really can't tell it, but things from 2000 years ago and modern crafts are still clearly distinguished.
Who would put the Warring States bamboo slips into the Han Dynasty lacquer box for entertainment?
So the box is no problem with the bamboo slips.
"How much money is Boss Ma going to sell?"
"Including the lacquer box, the three boxes are a total of 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. ”
"It's too expensive. Boss Ma, I'm a little tired today, so it's a fixed price, 300,000. Okay, I'll take it, can't we call next time?"
"Boss Zhang, refreshed!" he said and stretched out his hand.
As soon as the two shook hands, the business was completed.
This is a bamboo slip, the surname Ma didn't know what kind of brain was hot, and he spent 180,000 yuan to buy it from a smuggler, in fact, even if he counted three boxes of money, the bamboo slips inside were gifted.
He bought the page not for a few days, but for more than two months, almost no one in the circle cared about it - someone came to the box and bid 200,000 yuan, but the bamboo slips didn't want it.
It's a pity that the food is tasteless, and it's so entangled that I run into Zhang Nan.
After all the things were packed, Zhang Nan didn't plan to go shopping, so he asked the hotel to send a car, pick up the people and goods, and return to the Peninsula Hotel.
Returning to the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel with the boss's four packing boxes, it also attracted a lot of attention, and Zhang Nan really saw two Xiangjiang movie stars passing by here.
But I didn't have time to look at people, so I returned to my room immediately.
Pick up the telephone and call directly to the construction site of Johnson Company in Yan County.
"Hey, I'm looking for Xiang Weirong, I'm Zhang Nan!"
The person who answered the phone should be the security guard at the construction site, and after a while, Xiang Weirong came.
"Brother-in-law, I'm in Xiangjiang... Don't worry about what I'm doing in Xiangjiang, can you immediately contact your relatives who are the curator of the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall?"
"Yes, I have his home and office phone numbers, and I write them down in the correspondence book. ”
Nong Bosheng, deputy director of the Yongcheng Cultural Bureau and director of the Yongcheng Exhibition Center (director of the museum), because Yongcheng is a sub-provincial city, the general deputy director is a director level, and there is a parentheses (deputy department level) after this position.
Who makes the family a domestic expert!
At this level, of course, there are program-controlled telephones at home and in the office.
"You call him first, and say that I bought a large number of about a thousand Chu bamboo slips from the Warring States Period in Xiangjiang, and plan to donate them to the museum he manages, but you must keep my identity secret!"
"Okay, I'll call him right away, and you'll call again in 10 minutes, and I'll tell you about the situation. ”
Now it was lively, and then Zhang Nan made a phone call for more than an hour - the three parties, the two sides can get through to each other, and after Zhang Nan got the phone number of Yongcheng, he could only call at both ends.
The lacquerware and bamboo slips were not easy to preserve, and the three boxes were a little cracked in that antique shop!
Zhang Nan will collect everything, but ancient lacquerware is an exception - if that thing is not a professional museum, it is better not to collect it!
Otherwise, it is easy to be confused and damaged, not to mention, maintenance requires extremely professional technology, and it will consume a lot of time.
The situation is clear, and the two sides have met once or twice before: the agricultural curator is also awesome, and when he learned what this batch of bamboo slips was, he decided to come to Xiangjiang as soon as possible and come to pick up the goods in person.
