Chapter 604 True and False

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed, and we have entered the new century. We have once again arrived at the turn of the millennium, and it is the midsummer of another year.

In a private room of a restaurant in Xicheng, Meng Xiaoxing looked at the Qianlong blue and white plum vase in front of him, turning it over and over in his hand. After a while, he looked at Cheng Jianjun opposite who was eating food with a smile: "Is this true?"

Cheng Jianjun smiled: "Xiao Xing, you have been in this business for a few years, don't you know the rules? Now there is a mixed bag of good and bad in the market, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Who dares to guarantee you? It all depends on your eyesight."

"Then you mean to say that this blue and white plum vase is fake?"

"How is that possible?" Cheng Jianjun waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm just telling you about the rules of this business and reminding you. I bought this blue and white plum vase from my friend for 50,000 yuan. How could it be fake? ? But if I am blind, I will have to suffer the consequences myself. If you want to win this, then you will have to suffer the consequences. I just want to remind you."

"Looking at what you said, do I know the rules in the industry?" Meng Xiaoxing looked at Cheng Jianjun suspiciously for a while, then rolled her eyes and smiled: "But I want to take this thing and go back and give it to my fifth brother." Palm Eye, you also know that he is a big collector and the director of the Collection Association. If he says it is true, then I will buy it. If he says it is false, then you have to suffer the consequences. "

"Hey, look at me, why did I forget this?"

Cheng Jianjun was stunned for a moment, slapped himself on the forehead, and shook his head helplessly: "You, you, you are so cunning, how can you buy things like this, but Chunming and I have been friends since childhood. Okay! You Just take it back and let Chunming take a look, but I have to go with you. If it gets bumped, it will be troublesome to tell you."

"Okay, I'll call my fifth brother right now, and let's go over and let him take a look."

Meng Xiaoxing took out her mobile phone from her pocket, flipped through it a few times, found Han Chunming's number and called: "Hello? Brother Wuzi? Where are you?"

"Help me control your eyes! Don't disagree, otherwise I will be with you all day long, and I will annoy you to death."

"No, I'm in a hurry. Just tell me where you are right now and I'll go find you right away."

"Young man, I can't cure you yet." She hung up the phone triumphantly and raised her eyebrows at Cheng Jianjun: "I'm drinking with the prince and the others at Uncle Guan's house. Come on, let's go there right now."

Good opportunity... Cheng Jianjun's eyes flashed, but he said a little reluctantly: "Why are you in a hurry? I just ate this meal, it's too wasteful. Let's go there after I finish eating."

"Oh, come on, hurry up. There are all big experts at the table. How can we have such a good opportunity on weekdays? It's just one meal. No big deal, this meal is mine. Whether it's true or not, Let my fifth brother take a look at the things for a while, and I will arrange a table for you. Thank you for thinking of giving me something good. "

Meng Xiaoxing has a very unruly temperament. After she got married, she naturally made clear arrangements for the men and took care of all the big and small things at home. Although the money earned in these years is not a big deal compared to Han Chunming and others, he can still earn hundreds of thousands a year. This is already an unattainable wealth for ordinary people, so a table of food and drinks costs one hundred and eighty yuan. Of course, it doesn't matter. .

She has taken advantage of Wang Yan's influence and has changed for the better, which of course is inseparable from herself. Without Cheng Jianjun's deception, she was the lobby manager of the hotel. With Han Chunming's reputation there, she made a lot of money every month, and she was caught up in the demolition, and she still had a lot of demolition compensation. Find a man to live with, and life won't be too bad.

"It's as if I sent you this meal. I don't want to waste it. Okay, let's go. You don't feel bad at all," Cheng Jianjun wiped his mouth helplessly, stood up and cleaned up, then The plum bottles were put into the packaging, and he followed Meng Xiaoxing downstairs and went out, one person and one car, driving in tandem towards the alley where he grew up...

"This Cheng Jianjun is quite capable. It has only been two years, right? I heard that he is buying a building and opening a mobile phone store. He is really capable." Seeing Han Chunming put down his mobile phone, Ma Du said with a smile.

"Master Ma, he started his career with the money he earned from playing with antiques. I heard that he picked up a few big leaks, and that's how he got to where he is today. He is really good. I heard that he didn't know anything before, and he was still in 1998. It only started when I came out of the bureau in 2008. I have been listening to some of your big collectors for so many years, and I haven’t noticed anything. He has only been working for two years and he has made a fortune. How can this be reasonable?”

The speaker was Li Yuejin, Meng Xiaozao's husband, who was sitting on a small bench behind Lao Guan, fanning Lao Guan, and the one who was fooled by Cheng Jianjun in the original drama.

The impact on Meng Xiaozao is still relatively limited, because she used to farm honestly at home, and then she was brought into the city by Han Chunming to take care of the family's life just like in the original drama. The difference is her income. Much higher than before. After all, Han Chunming is also a well-known big boss. He will not be stingy in his actions, and will only be better than the original drama. So Meng Xiaozao met Li Yuejin, got married and had a little girl who was already in her teens.

Li Yuejin doesn't have a serious job, he just works with Meng Xiaozao at home, doing some manual labor, helping with cooking and so on. Han Chunming also gives him a salary, which is basically the same as in the original drama.

A family of three lives here in Laoguan, so it is convenient to take care of them.

In the past two years, because Lao Guantou is old, they went back to Lao Guantou's courtyard to drink. It's not to show courtesy or anything, of course, there is also the intention of taking care of Lao Guantou, everyone is lively and lively, which makes Lao Guantou a little interesting. But more importantly, this group of people have been drinking together for more than 20 years, and they are used to it. They drink wherever they go.

Li Yuejin just listened to it, and then went out to buy things when he had time, so he said these words.

Polan Hou snorted: "That kid is a habitual offender. It is possible that he is in partnership with others and set up a trap to cheat people."

Wang Yan smiled and didn't say anything, but the old guy Polan Hou was right. Cheng Jianjun was cheating people.

In the past two years, the gifted Cheng Jianjun first fired porcelain in Jingdezhen and soon mastered it. Then he began to make some cheap little things and sell them in the antique market. Of course, they couldn't sell them at the beginning, but it was not a problem to fool those who didn't understand with dozens or hundreds of yuan. He summed up his experience very well and made rapid progress. In just one year, he was able to deceive people who had some research on antiques. Then he found a few scammers to work with him and acted to cheat people out of money.

From a few hundred, a few thousand at the beginning, to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, he scammed people all over the country. After making money, he opened a mobile phone store as soon as possible.

Now is the time when all kinds of mobile phones are competing. From black and white to color, from candy bar, to flip, to slide, from single card to dual card dual standby, from only being able to play Snake and Tetris, to supporting some other small games. From having only a few functions, to starting to support reading e-books, listening to music, and watching movies. It was in these few years that it developed rapidly.

Of course, Longteng also did the mobile phone business, and it did well, but of course the market share was not too high. Because what he was doing now was high-end phones, which ordinary people could not afford. So it is, although it does not occupy the market share of the middle and low-end, the profit is not much different. The main reason is that his mobile phone is several generations faster than others. Now it has started to make large screens, but it is a resistive screen that can be clicked with fingernails, not the later ones. But now it is still under research, and it is estimated that it will be possible to start touch screens in two years. Communication technology is also advancing by leaps and bounds. After all, in the era of mobile intelligence, communication technology is the foundation.

It is also because Longteng is leading in the front, and the capabilities of a number of manufacturers behind it have exploded in various ways. The current mobile phone market is no longer the same as before, but more advanced and more active. Without online sales, it can only rely on countless offline stores. The amount of profit determines the recommendation strength of the shopping guides in these stores. It used to make money to open a mobile phone store, and it is naturally not bad to open a mobile phone store now. Moreover, Cheng Jianjun’s store is not small, and the income is not bad.

However, he opened a mobile phone store, not mainly to sell mobile phones, but to make the money he made clean. He can also open other stores, but the mobile phone market is good now. This is because he has more experience and has learned his lesson.

After that, he bought a three-bedroom villa with an elevator, just as he told his parents when he was released from prison, and found a nanny to take care of their lives and let them enjoy their retirement.

Although the conditions were good, Cheng's parents were not very happy. Because they were too familiar with the script, it was the same the previous two times. Cheng Jianjun quickly made a lot of money and then went to jail. Although Cheng Jianjun now opened a mobile phone store and seemed to be a legitimate business, they still retained their doubts.

However, they were old and had no energy to manage, and they didn't want to manage it even more. They were tired, so they let it go, and they were comfortable for one day.

Now, after two years, Cheng Jianjun has cheated all over the country, cheated out of cars, cheated out of houses, cheated out of shops, and felt that his skills were so perfect that ordinary people could not see through it. So he found Meng Xiaoxing and wanted to come over to test her and see how good she was.

Wang Yan knew all these things. Cheng Jianjun had never been out of his palm and was easily controlled.

The topic of the crowd did not always revolve around Cheng Jianjun, but just mentioned it briefly and took it over. After chatting for a while, Meng Xiaoxing and Cheng Jianjun came in with the sound of car doors slamming outside.

"Gentlemen!" Meng Xiaoxing smiled and bowed to greet them. She was very familiar with people. Although she didn't dare to talk nonsense, she knew everyone. After all, she was the one who arranged the food and drinks when we were drinking at Chapiaoxiang.

Cheng Jianjun looked at Wang Yan with a smile: "Prince, haven't seen you for many years?"

"I haven't seen you since the admiral's birthday, eleven years." Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "I heard that you made a fortune again? Or did you start your career by dealing in antiques?"

"It's not that I started my career, I just made some money by picking up two leaks by luck. It's also because of this that I entered this industry. If I see something I like, I keep it. If I don't like it, I sell it to friends to make some pocket money."

"Sister, brother Jianjun, you sit down." Li Yuejin came over with two stools with a discerning look.

When the two sat down, Han Chunming looked at Cheng Jianjun: "Let's not talk too much, take out the things and have a look."

"I bought this from my friend, and he gave it to me for 50,000 yuan." Cheng Jianjun nodded, opened the box he had been holding, carefully took out the blue and white plum vase from it, stood up and walked to the dining table to hand it to Wang Yan: "Your Majesty, would you please take a look first?"

"Okay, then I'll take a look first, but I'm also a half-baked person, and in the end it depends on what they say." With a smile, Wang Yan reached out to take the bottle, held it in his hand and looked at it inside and out for a while, shaking his head as he looked.

Cheng Jianjun's heart was pounding as he watched. He was not afraid, he was just nervously looking forward to the result. He wanted to see if he could hide it from Wang Yan.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long. The impatient Meng Xiaoxing spoke first: "My lord, you are always talking. What do you mean by just shaking your head? It makes me anxious."

Wang Yan casually handed the thing to the broken man next to him and said, "It looks real to me, but it also looks a bit fake. I'm not sure, so let's let experts like them take a look."

A flash of excitement flashed in Cheng Jianjun's eyes, and then he asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, I heard Chunming say, didn't you collect these old objects as early as the 1970s?"

"It's up to you whether you use it or not. Although I have been collecting things for a long time, I haven't put too much energy into it. But the brothers who collect things for me have become experts now. Me, still I prefer calligraphy and painting, and I am quite good at it, but I am average at other things.”

"Don't you always collect porcelain?"

"It's just that I prefer calligraphy and painting." Wang Yan waved his hand and raised his head: "Why don't you return a box? What's in it? Take it out together and take a look."

"This is a small enamel bowl that I got before. I kept it in the car and didn't take it out. It just so happens that some of your big collectors are here. I want you to help me check the authenticity."

While talking, Cheng Jianjun opened another box, handed over a small yellow bowl and said with a smile, "Would you like to take a look at this again?"

Wang Yan took the thing and looked it over over and over again, then said something: "Yongzheng style small bowl with light yellow ground enamel and peach pattern. It's not bad. It's in good condition. I think this one is real. It feels good. Come on, Mr. Hou, take a look again.”

Got it, it was really a parallel import, it was confirmed without a doubt... Cheng Jianjun secretly let out a sigh of relief, because this bowl was real. He deliberately made two things, one real and one fake, in order to avoid letting them think that he came here with fake things on purpose. After all, his reputation is not very good and he has been in jail twice. He would not bring something real. , it’s hard to believe. Besides, the people here are all smart people, so you have to be careful and you won’t make a big mistake.

Moreover, he had picked up the bowl from a leak and didn't spend much money. He took it out with no intention of taking it back, just to make a profit from them. He spent the money he earned from these people happily.

But even if Wang Yan is not good at it, he can still help Han Chunming and others. It is not an easy task to directly deceive Wang Yan. Moreover, Wang Yan himself said that he is more interested in calligraphy and painting, which he is really not good at. It's a bit difficult...

Soon, everyone looked at it again, and finally it was in Han Chunming's hand. He took a look at the plum vase and said firmly: "It's fake."

Hearing this, Cheng Jianjun was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "What? Fake? I spent fifty thousand! Chunming, how did you see that?"

"You won't understand if I tell you too much. I won't go into the details of the pattern. This signature is wrong. It was written with a hard pen. Although the writing is very similar, most people will definitely not be able to see it, but the center of the brush is still missing." Han Chunming turned his head in confusion and looked at Wang Yan who was chewing the bone: "Your Majesty, this shouldn't be the case. Haven't you noticed?"

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, shook his head with a wry smile, and then frowned and reflected: "I just said why it feels wrong. Maybe it's because I'm older and my brain is a little confused, or maybe I didn't take it seriously in the first place. But It’s not a mistake. If I encounter this outside, I won’t buy anything if it feels wrong.”

Everyone knew that Wang Yan was looking for someone to make up for, so they all smiled and said nothing. However, they silently glanced at Wang Yan at the same moment, then looked at Cheng Jianjun, and also laughed.

"It's a good thing that I thought of coming over and letting Fifth Brother take a look, otherwise tens of thousands of dollars would have been wasted and I wouldn't have anywhere to cry." Meng Xiaoxing uttered an ouch, patted her chest, let out a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Another small yellow enamel bowl: "Is this real?"

"Really." Han Chunming nodded, looked at Cheng Jianjun and said, "How much did it cost?"

"One hundred thousand." Cheng Jianjun said with a smile: "Finally, this is true. If this is also false, then I really can't find a place to cry."

Generally speaking, the brighter the color, the higher the price, because it is more difficult to fire the color. This bowl, twenty years from now, will probably be worth six to seven hundred thousand. With the current economic level of this era, when people's wages are only eight or nine hundred, one hundred thousand is almost the actual value.

"Sell it to me! I bought it!" Meng Xiaoxing said quickly: "You guys are all capable of opening a museum. There are so many good things that you can't put them down, so don't snatch them from me."

"No, do I agree?" Cheng Jianjun waved his hands repeatedly: "When I bought it, I just thought the yellow one looked good. It would be eye-catching and comfortable to put at home. I want to keep it myself."

"Look, everything has been taken out, where is the point of taking it back? Besides, you were originally planning to sell me the blue and white plum vase, but now that one is fake, you can't let me go empty-handed, can you?"

"Hey, why are you being unreasonable and acting like a rogue?" Cheng Jianjun looked at Han Chunming helplessly: "I said Chunming, this is your sister, you don't care?"

Han Chunming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have to take care of it."

After dithering for a few more minutes, after Meng Xiaoxing raised the price, Cheng Jianjun half-heartedly agreed: "Okay, just 110,000. I just need to make some pocket money. Who told you to be Chunming's sister? Face has to be given.”

"That's great. Let's go. Come back to the restaurant with me and I'll give you the money." Meng Xiaoxing stepped forward, took the bowl and put it in the box, said hello to Wang Yan and the others, and turned around and left.

She bought things, of course, not for collection. How can a wild girl who hasn't been to school for a few days feel the charm of antiques. Her purpose is simple, just that she has some spare money, so she will keep it for a few years, and then sell it when the price goes up in the future, making some money from the appreciation, which is considered an investment...

Cheng Jianjun shook his head and muttered, put away the blue and white plum vase, and said to everyone: "Then you guys drink, I'll leave first. When there are good things in the future, I'll bring them over for you to see."

Han Chunming nodded: "Li Yuejin, see Jianjun off."

"Let's go, brother Jianjun, I'll see you out." Li Yuejin, who had been watching for a long time, sighed, stood up and followed Cheng Jianjun out: "Brother Jianjun, do you still want this thing? No, you can give it to me. I think it's good. "

"Haven't you heard? It's fake, what do you want it for? This bottle is useless."

"Then experts can also be wrong. Besides, even if it's really fake, such a good bottle, I can put flowers in it and put it in the house, it will be comfortable to look at, right?"

Cheng Jianjun stopped and looked at Li Yuejin, who was a little wretched, until he looked at him a little at a loss, then laughed: "Okay, big brother can't let you call me for nothing, I'll give it to you."

Experts can also be wrong. He likes what this kid said, including doubts about the authority of Wang Yan, Han Chunming, etc., which is good.

Immediately, he rolled his eyes and let Meng Xiaoxing go first. He pulled Li Yuejin aside, gave him a Huazi, and the two chatted. He really hadn't had much contact with Li Yuejin before, so he had to have a good chat...

Watching Cheng Jianjun leave, Han Chunming took a sip of wine and asked, "Prince, you always do this on purpose, don't you?"

Ma Du smiled, "Needless to say? Prince is a master of both calligraphy and painting, and is no worse than those ancient masters who have left their names in history. How could he not see that the style is wrong? Besides, it's been so many years, do you know Prince's level?"

Han Chunming frowned, "Do you think there is a problem? He knew that the blue and white plum vase was fake, and he came for us? And the craftsmanship of that vase is not low, and ordinary people can't see it without paying attention."

Wang Yan lit a cigarette, "I haven't heard that Cheng Jianjun has any dealings with these neighbors on weekdays. Although outsiders don't know that he was in prison for nine years for the second time, it's also known that Cheng Jianjun has no contact with these neighbors. Knowing that he was in prison for four years in 1983, would he be willing to let those who knew him look at him with tinted glasses? How could it be such a coincidence that he went to Meng Xiaoxing's restaurant and let her see something? And came to our place? He is a professional liar with a criminal record, and he hates me so much and doesn't like you so much, you say it's okay? "

"Then didn't he take a real one? I didn't make much money with 110,000 yuan."

"Today I just let him know that I am a half-baked person and don't have a high level. If he has ideas, he will definitely make moves in the future. Let's wait and see. True or false, who can tell for sure?"

Wang Yan exhaled a puff of smoke lightly...
