Jin Yutong

Chapter 493

"Old man, you didn't tell me when you came back, so I might as well go and see you."

Zhang Shuchun came here in a Hongqi car, and the Hongqi car stopped in front of him. Chen Ran stepped forward and opened the door, and while helping the old man out of the car, he greeted the old man with a smile.

A teacher for one day and a father for the rest of his life. Although the old man and him have not established a master-student relationship, it is actually no different from a real master-student relationship. He has learned a lot from the old man. If it weren't for the old man, the current him It’s just similar to the situation when I first got the ability. I can use the ability to identify antiques, but I can’t tell why. Obviously, it’s not enough to buy books in the bookstore. The books in the bookstore are basically read by high-end goods. No matter how much you know, you can only be regarded as superficial, and you can't forget your roots in life. Chen Ran is definitely not a person who forgets his roots, so he respects the old man from the beginning to the end.

"He came to you just before he entered the house. You boy is really a daring thief. Last time I told you to avoid gambling with stones. In the end, you boy was fine and didn't hold back. I also became addicted to gambling, and dared to touch hundreds of millions of stones."

The old man was helped out of the car by Chen Ran, and just after he had said a word to Chen Ran, he couldn't help scowling and ruthlessly taught Chen Ran a lesson. This can't be his old man's fault. When he gambled [-] million yuan on a stone, the old man was quite shocked. This is not because he has little knowledge. Although the [-] million yuan is a lot of money, it is not enough to move him. The key is that Chen However, taking three hundred million to gamble on rocks or betting on one stone would move his old man's face. No matter how good your luck is, it's just a matter of luck. Taking [-] million to try your luck is undoubtedly too crazy.

In particular, although his old man doesn't know Chen Ran's net worth, in his opinion, Chen Ran's net worth is almost the same as his calculations. This made him involuntarily think about the consequences for Chen Ran if Chen Ran lost, so how could he not be angry.

Of course, there is another reason that the old man spent 12 yuan when he gambled on stones for the first time in Tengchong. The 12 yuan made him hesitate for a week. After gambling, he lost all his money and his entire family, so that he was hungry for a few days without eating. Because of this bloody lesson, the old man never touched it again in his life. Bet on stones once.

The old man was angry, Chen Ran knew it was for his own good, but he was not angry, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit dumbfounded. Fortunately, the old man was not really angry, even if he was angry, he would have lost his temper when he knew about it, so The old man gave him a lecture, and then led him to the old man who came down from another car door.

When Chen Ran helped the old man out of the car, Zhang Shuchun also got out of the car and another middle-aged man dressed as a secretary helped out an old man from the other side of the car door. The age is even older, and the older one should not be a little bit older. It gives people a very vicissitudes of feeling, but it looks very refreshing. You ask why the other party has not spoken yet, why does it give people a refreshing feeling? It's because of the opponent's stance.

"Standing like a pine, sitting like a bell, walking like the wind, lying like a bow" is the ancients' description of the four most important human body postures in daily life, standing, sitting, walking, and lying, and has been regarded as a standard for thousands of years.

The meaning of this sentence is to stand upright like a pine tree, sit like a clock, walk like the wind, and sleep like a bow.

Chen Ran didn't know what the old man in front of him looked like sitting or walking, but he knew that the standing posture of the other party could make people imagine the word "standing like a pine" just by looking at it. When we were together, the waist was straight, straight like a pine tree, and there was a feeling of pushing upwards. Coupled with the smile on the other party's face, it gave people a refreshing feeling.

"Brother, this is the kid I told you about." The old man led Chen Ran to the old man, pointed at Chen Ran, and introduced him to the old man. After introducing Chen Ran, he laughed and cursed at Chen Ran: "Xiao Ran, this is your Uncle Wu. Your Uncle Wu ran all the way from Nanjing because of you."

"Master Wu, hello."

Although Chen Ran was a little surprised why a senior uncle appeared suddenly, and was also surprised that the old man said that this senior Wu came from Nanjing because of him, but after hearing what the old man said, he hurriedly greeted this senior Wu with the etiquette of a junior. .

"The lad is in good spirits."

Uncle Wu spoke very concisely. When Chen Ran greeted him, he looked at Chen Ran with a smile and gave Chen Ran an evaluation.

Chen Ran didn't feel much about Master Wu's evaluation, but the old man seemed very happy after hearing it, and the middle-aged man who supported Master Wu with Zhang Shuchun couldn't help but look at Chen Ran more after hearing it.

After Chen Ran and the two elders met the ceremony, they were going to take the two old people to the villa to have a rest first, but the old man insisted on looking at the stone first, so Chen Ran had no choice but to take them there first.

While on the road, Chen Ran also knew the full name of Master Wu.

Wu Zhengci.

This name is the old man's full name.

The old man's full name was not told to Chen Ran by the old man, but guessed by Chen Ran. He guessed it from the casual chat between the old man and the old man. Familiar, the old man saw that he didn't know the old man's identity, so he just reminded him casually, and he knew the old man's name and identity.

Speaking of the old man, it is a living legend. In the world of jade, even in the world of collectors and antiques, there are not many people who do not know the name of the old man, because he is an expert in the identification of cultural relics in our country, and he is known as the "national treasure" in the identification of national treasures. Wu Zhengci.

To put it simply, it can basically be said that this old man is No.1 in the current collection industry. He is a veritable master in the field of antiques. There are many masters in the world of antiques, but Wu Zhengci has only one.

This old man is currently No.1 in the collection industry. It doesn't mean that this old man has the most collection of antiques, or is the most valuable, or that this old man must be worth a lot of money, actually not at all.

The old man's collection of antiques is not necessarily as much as Chen Ran's collection of antiques. The value is not even worth the value of the two remaining after Chen Ran collected all seven sets of Huashen cups. At most, they are collections. I bought some worthless gadgets, because the old man donated all the valuable gadgets to the country.

It can be said that this old man has devoted all his life to the cultural work of our country, and his contribution to the cultural work of our country is immeasurable.

When he was still in middle school, the old man began to pick up leaks. Two of them are now national first-class cultural relics and have been collected in the Palace Museum. In 1965, when King Goujian of Yue emerged from the ground, the old man was the youngest expert who gathered in Jingzhou together with Guo Moruo and other masters to interpret and crack the world's best sword. Countless important cultural relics have been preserved with huge risks. After the end of Wen Ge, the old man donated all these important treasures to the National Museum. According to rumors, other museums are not mentioned, only the important treasures donated by the old man now collected by the Palace Museum It cannot be counted.

After Wen Ge finished his rehabilitation, the old man devoted himself to the reconstruction of the museum as a non-partisan person. During this period, he searched for countless treasures for the country and discovered and excavated dozens of important ancient sites in our country. During this period, he himself even missed countless things. Nowadays, there are no less than ten treasures worth hundreds of millions, and all of these treasures have been donated to the museum.

The old man worked as the vice president of the Palace Museum for more than ten years, and later joined the Ministry of Culture as a non-partisan person and wrote countless works on cultural research.

In addition to the contribution made by the old man, the character of the old man is also worthy of praise. When the deputy dean was in charge, the old man in the courtyard had a driver, but the old man never took the bus. He always took the bus to and from work with his wife. Leaders who have a car don’t need a car anymore, so the old man commutes in a private car. It’s just that the old man clearly distinguishes between public and private. I used to commute to work in a private car allocated to the elderly, but have been commuting by bus.

The old man is also famous in the industry for being outspoken and daring to tell the truth. There are many rules in the antique industry. Experts in the collection industry often cause dirty things because of these rules. Whether it is true or not is worth a lot. The expert took a look and regarded the true as false, or the expert deliberately called the true as false out of some selfishness. In short, the result was not satisfactory.This Tibetan friend was not reconciled, so he found another expert, but this expert proved that the thing was real and of high value.Under such circumstances, a conflict arose between the two experts.Therefore, many experts are not willing to accept things that have been appraised by others. Over time, it has developed into the saying of "do not crack down on fakes" and "do not tell if you see through". Even if these experts see that the previous expert's appraisal was wrong, they don't say it or even say that the other party's appraisal is correct. Of course, they just say it verbally.

But the old man is different. Since the old man made his debut, whenever he met a Tibetan friend who came to ask for advice, he always knew everything and ignored the hidden rules of the industry. Because of this, the old man did not offend others. It’s too big, let’s not talk about the value and significance of the treasures that the old man donated to the country all his life, but only say that if the old man doesn’t donate these treasures to the country but keeps them for himself, then the old man’s net worth is also on the domestic rich list. Definitely ranked among the top few, but the old man donated all the wealth to the country. Of course, this statement is just a private discussion among the people below. How can the contribution of the old man to the country be measured by wealth .

When the old man stepped down from the position of vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, domestic jade associations, jewelry associations, collection associations, etc. invited the old man to take up positions in the associations, and even the presidents of several associations said frankly that they would He abdicated for the virtuous, but the old man did not accept their invitation, but returned to the Palace Museum to do the work of appraising and maintaining cultural relics, but he did not hold any position, but only received the title of a senior consultant and enjoyed the State Council allowance.

A master in the antique industry, Chen Ran entered the industry late, and he didn't even know much about it, but he was very familiar with this Master Wu, because when he first entered the industry, he bought several books in the bookstore about The books on jade wares are all written by Master Wu. Although Master Wu's research field is relatively broad, he focuses on three special researches on jade wares, gold and silver wares, and ancient calligraphy and painting. He has written many related aspects when he was working in the Ministry of Culture. writings.

When he bought these books written by Master Wu, Chen Ran didn't know that Wu Zhengci was such a person. Later, he checked and found out that the other party was so powerful, saying that he was a "national treasure" for appraising national treasures.

After knowing it, when Chen went to buy books, he also specially selected the books written by this master Wu, and when he was reading books at the old man's place, he even saw many letters about jade and jade written by the old man from the old man. It was a draft or a record book. Although the writing was a bit 'messy', many records on it benefited him a lot.

When Chen Ran was reading these letters at the old man's place, he didn't pay much attention to them, but he didn't expect that the old man had such a relationship with Mr. Wu. No wonder the old man had so many old Mr. Wu's letters in his collection.

After knowing the identity of the new Uncle Wu, Chen Ran couldn't help but look at the other party more. He checked the information of this Uncle Wu, and the age of the other party should be at least ten years different from the old man's. How should I say it? This Uncle Wu is also in his 70s. He does look a bit old, but he can feel that the other party's body is not bad. It's the same as when he first met the old man. The old man was also in good shape. Those who practice boxing, it seems that the two are worthy of being brothers.

Just now when Chen Ran was busy sending the people from the shipping company away, Cao Huiyao hugged the little guy, so when Chen Ran brought the two old people into the warehouse, the little guy didn't disturb him. As people came in, the standard stone materials on the ground had been surrounded into three circles inside and three circles outside. It was very lively. Fortunately, this was at Chen Ran's home. Chen Ran's words were still useful, but he just asked them to let them Let them all retreat far away.

No one in the warehouse can recognize Master Wu's identity. Although Master Wu is very famous, but not many people have heard of his name. After all, Master Wu does not appear on TV screens like celebrities. It's never even been on the TV screen.

After bringing the two old men to the place, the old man and Uncle Wu watched around the stone. Although the people around saw this scene, although they didn't know the identity of the old man and Uncle Wu, they also knew that they were Chen Ran's elders. , but didn't say a word, just watched from the side, and Chen Ran naturally accompanied him.

"Let's see what your uncle has to say later."

After looking at it for a while, the old man stood up and retreated to Chen Ran's side. Chen Ran asked how the old man was feeling. After a moment of silence, the old man didn't answer Chen Ran's question immediately, but frowned and said Let's see what Mr. Wu said first. After saying this, the old man thought that Chen Ran was very nervous, but he comforted Chen Ran.

Chen Ran was not nervous at all, but after hearing the old man's comforting words, he became nervous.

Because the old man told him that he is Uncle Wu, that is, Mr. Wu has a deep research on the geology and geomorphology of Yunnan, Myanmar and other places. Speaking of which, Mr. Wu is actually a geology student. He is the son of the old man's teacher, and the old man studied with the teacher. When he was studying geology, his teacher was already very old. At that time, he was basically the old man brought by Mr. Wu. Even the knowledge about jade articles that the old man learned was also learned from Mr. Wu. old half student

When the old man and Chen Ran talked about it, he didn't go into such details. He just said that although Mr. Wu never participated in betting on stones, he was very accurate in his estimation of stone materials. This time, Mr. Wu was invited from Nanjing because he knew that Chen Ran had done it Such a big guy invited Mr. Wu over to give Chen Ran an estimate.

I also told Chen Ran that after Mr. Wu made an estimate, if he was optimistic about the stone, he would let Chen Ran cut it, and if he was not optimistic, he would not let Chen Ran cut it...
