Emerald pupil

Wang Ping walked in and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly standing in the middle, holding a piece of white jade carving in his hand, talking to the surrounding people.

In recent days, Wang Ping has also learned a little about jadeite such as jadeite. With the help of clairvoyant eyes, she even earned the title of Emerald Princess before, but she lacked the background, so she learned a lot by rote The knowledge of jadeite, and other knowledge such as antique nephrite is ridiculously barren.

At this moment, she saw that although the middle-aged man was out of shape, he still spoke and behaved in a manner, so she stopped and stood at the back door of the crowd and silently stopped him to explain.

It is said that in troubled times, golden times and antiques.Although today's Chinese dynasty cannot be said to be politically prosperous and unparalleled in prosperity, the common people live and work in peace and contentment. There is no foreign war or civil strife for the time being. Although there will be a world economic recession in the future, the price of antique jade has been rising again and again without being affected at all. The subsequent fall in the price of gold.

Wang Ping recalled a novel she had read in her previous life, in which the heroine bought a vase imitating Yuan blue and white from the period of the Republic of China, and then randomly placed it in the living room of her private restaurant for guests to use as umbrellas in rainy days , only the vase is exquisitely made, although it is an imitation, it has an antique charm.Later, when the hero inadvertently broke into the restaurant of the heroine, he was attracted by the counterfeit vase, and felt in his heart, "If someone bought a fake, I wish I could find an expert to identify it as the real one, carefully collect it, and enshrine it as a priceless treasure. She is fine." , generously admitted that it was a fake, and then put it at the door, and put a rain gear duster” to attract people.So he became curious, and in the end his heart stuck to the heroine's body. Every so often, he always came to the heroine's place to bother her for a while.

Wang Ping was deeply impressed by this novel, not because the heroine's unintentional actions successfully attracted the tall, handsome and rich male protagonist, but because this unique approach not only successfully attracted the male protagonist, but also made Wang Ping feel deeply. I was moved, and I kept thinking about buying a few exquisite fake antiques.It doesn't have to be priceless, as long as it is sincere.

It's just that in her last life she had neither money nor time to do these arty things, but in this life she seems to have money now, and there is only one threshold to enter.But because this matter is not urgent, Wang Ping has never deliberately looked for it, but now it seems that an opportunity has appeared in front of her.

Wang Ping was a little moved.He simply paced over and stood silently behind them and listened to their argument.

My supernatural ability is just perspective, far less miraculous than the heroine in the novels I read before, who can identify antiques and absorb spiritual energy, so Wang Ping stood behind watching for a long time, and listening to it for a long time did not see any tricks.

Wang Ping's feet were sore.But in the end, when she saw that middle-aged man with a big belly and a middle-aged woman who was dressed in an expensive dress suddenly hugged each other hand in hand, she almost lost her eyes.Those two people were very far apart before.Occasionally, there are a few conversations that are very polite, and you can tell at a glance that you are not very familiar with people, but they suddenly hold hands and hug each other without saying a few words, which is extremely weird!

But apart from being a little surprised by herself, the rest of the standing people took it calmly, without any hint of surprise, Wang Ping couldn't help being a little puzzled.But her eyes are excellent, and she has clairvoyant powers.After a closer look, I found the clue.

The two people hugged each other hand in hand, and put their hands directly into each other's sleeves, but through the clothes, Wang Ping saw that they seemed to be comparing a few numbers with their fingers in private. Three, the middle-aged man shook his head, the lady hesitated, and added another finger, finally the middle-aged man nodded.

Then Wang Ping saw the two of them and separated, and the blue and white jade carved bamboo horse boy ornament held by the middle-aged man was in the hands of the lady. I bumped into a small trade fair, but this small trade fair should be the same as the stone gambling fair I attended last time, although the scale is much smaller, but there are thresholds, I am afraid it is acquaintances or people in the circle Only people can enter, and ordinary people can't easily enter even if they want to.

But I seemed to be lucky, and I saw it by accident.

Wang Ping actually guessed right.Those who play antiques are divided into old and new, and those old players and patrons are naturally unwilling to mix with a group of clubs and fight for things.Therefore, powerful sellers have their own internal trade fairs. If they get some serious goodies, they will keep it secret and tell some regular customers secretly, so that they can bid secretly.This kind of trade fair is called a stock market.This shopping mall is more advanced and secretive than the stalls outside, and there are many particularities and taboos. Even the bids are held in the sleeves to prevent others from seeing.

After a while, the middle-aged man with a big belly took out another set of pastel flower cups. Wang Ping stood behind and saw that set of porcelain cups had a thin body, light body, shiny enamel, bright colors, clear layers, and dense layout. Youzhi, I already like it a little bit in my heart. After the middle-aged man said, this is the famille rose that he spent 10 yuan before and thought it was from the Qianlong period. Later, he was lucky enough to see the expert appraisal of the Beijing Palace Museum. I realized that this set of porcelain was imitated during the Guangxu period, because the shape, color, and decoration have reached the level of lifelikeness, so it can be called a high-quality imitation.It's just that compared with the fine products handed down from generation to generation, the main disadvantage of this set of porcelain is that it looks too beautiful and distorted.

When Wang Ping heard that it was an imitation of the Guangxu Dynasty, it was exactly what she wanted, and she had the idea of ​​wanting to buy it.Don't you want to open a bookstore in your own home?The upstairs was turned into a teahouse according to my father's wishes. I bought this set of pastel porcelain and put them in the teahouse casually to entertain friends and confidants. Isn't it more face-saving?

After all, Wang Ping is a girl at heart, and there will always be some romantic plots in her heart. It's not that she wants to be fascinated by the heroine like the heroine in the novel she has read before, but she really likes the heroine in that novel. With a calm and casual personality, she can't help but want little Su to give her a hand.

I didn't have that capital before, but now I make money by myself.If you still can't live the life you want, what do you do to make money?Be the master of money, but don't be its slave...

Thinking of this, Wang Ping decided to buy this set of imitation Qianlong famille rose flower cups, but she decided to buy it, but she didn't know what price to pay. Compared with emeralds, she knew less about the antique market. At a loss, I don't even know the market.Since that person said before that this set of emerald flower mugs, he thought it really cost [-] yuan.So the price I'm offering now should be low or not high, but [-] is also low, and [-] is also low. How much should I pay for this set of pastel cups?

But before Wang Ping could figure it out, the two girls who talked very loudly came around the man named Alex.They probably didn't notice Wang Ping, so Alex stepped forward.Walking to the side of the man with a big belly, he also stretched out his hands in the same way, and the two held each other's hands in their sleeves.

Alex made a gesture of one, and the other party shook his head, making a gesture of five. Alex saw that the two sides had too much disagreement, so he stopped insisting and let go of the middle-aged man's hand.He smiled, nodded and left.

The price they gesticulated on their sleeves happened to be exactly in Wang Ping's eyes.Wang Ping was worrying about not knowing the market before, but now that she was no longer sleepy, someone brought her a pillow.

She grinned and couldn't help but smile.Ignoring that Alex and the two women hadn't gone far, they also walked over, took the middle-aged man's hand, hesitated a little and made a four sign.

If Wang Ping guessed correctly, Alex offered [-] at the beginning, but the middle-aged man asked for [-], but it might mean that the price was higher and waited for him to pay back.But who knows that Alex has no intention of counter-offering at all.Just don't leave directly, so Wang Ping thought about it and immediately gave [-].

She didn't expect that her first bid would be so smooth and successful.

The middle-aged man first glanced at Wang Ping in surprise.When she came up just now, I only noticed that she looked very young, but she didn't care about the handmade sweater that was despised by the two gorgeous women before.

A middle-aged man has met many people and knows many rich people. What is so strange about wearing a hand-knitted sweater?He has also seen bosses who are worth more than a billion yuan wear cloth shoes and shirts worth more than a dozen yuan, and they just want to be comfortable.That is to say, I have no connotation in myself, so I especially need clothes to package and show myself.However, it is relatively rare for such a young girl to wear this kind of outdated sweater nowadays. The few young people he knows are all dressed in fashionable and pretty clothes, even if they are a little plain and low-key, they will not wear sweaters from the last century. Style out.

When Wang Ping made an offer on his sleeve, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay, this girl has eyes and she knows what to buy!"

Because all the shopkeepers come here are experienced veterans, so he didn't intend to slaughter people at first, but there is no price for antiques, and the focus is on a matter of hit or miss.The young man thought it was only worth 1, but he himself thought it was worth [-]. There is too much difference between the two, so there is nothing to talk about.But now the price given by the little girl is not much different from her own psychological price. In other words, compared with the previous price of [-] yuan, the middle-aged man looked at Wang Ping more and more pleasing to the eye, so he didn't pay any more. Having said that, he immediately held her little hand and shook it vigorously, indicating that the bid was successful.

As soon as he grasped it, he felt the small hand was delicate and soft, and he couldn't help but feel agitated. He raised his head and glanced at Wang Ping's immature and youthful face, and couldn't help but groaned in his heart: "Lao Li, what do you think, other girls can be your daughter now." , is really old fashioned.But I don't know which kid will get such a good-looking girl in the future, that would be called a blessing.

The middle-aged man turned around and carefully packed the set of pastel mugs he was holding in the matching hard box, and was about to hand them over to Wang Ping. Unexpectedly, the woman who had mocked her before but was ignored by Wang Ping saw this. One scene suddenly shouted: "Master Li, are you sure that little girl is rich? You are a big expert, don't be fooled by the little girl. Just dress like that, are you sure she can get the money? Don't What kind of ignorant and uneducated person thought it was fun and came up to fool you?"

"Master Li, tell me to pay first and then deliver the goods to get insurance. A little girl's hands and feet are not serious. If she breaks your things, she won't be able to pay for it, right? Hee hee, what do you think?" no?"

"I'm doing it for your own good~~"

Because of her sudden utterance, everyone's eyes were on Wang Ping, and even Rong Wanyu, who was staying in the middle of the living room and trying to blend into the conversation of the upper class, hurried over: "Sister, what are you doing?"

She glanced at the two women with colorful makeup who wanted to watch the show, and couldn't help being a little annoyed that her cousin Wang Ping had lost her face. She couldn't help but apologize for her sister first: "I'm sorry, my sister has never seen it What kind of world, I made a joke with everyone. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

When Rong Wanyu first arrived, Yan Shaoqing told her that this was a small antique market, and told her not to go there when she was free.There is no such thing as an antique thing, in case it is accidentally damaged a little bit.It might be a sky-high price to pay.Rong Wanyu thinks that her family's conditions are several times better than that of her cousin Wang Ping's, and she has seen many more worlds than Wang Ping.His father couldn't even afford antiques, let alone his cousin Wang Ping, so he hurriedly stood up and apologized for his cousin.

Wang Ping didn't know that beautiful woman.But Rong Wanyu knew that it was the female number three in "The Secret Biography of Wulin" that was broadcast on TV recently, and she didn't watch TV in the first place.But since she found out that Rong Dingguo was cheating, Rong Wanyu has regressed a lot in her studies, and she has been unable to read the book. She heard her classmates discussing "The Secret Biography of Wulin", so she also started to chase after her.So know.He knew that his status was not even a fraction of that of others, let alone Wang Ping who came from a small family.

But unexpectedly, Wang Ping turned around.Frowning at her, he asked, "Rong Wanyu, do you remember what we said just now?"

Rong Wanyu was stunned for a moment: "I remember, what's wrong?"

"Don't ask or tell what happened here today, right?"

Rong Wanyu nodded.

Wang Ping nodded, turned to Master Li and said, "I don't bring that much cash. What is your bank account? I'll call someone to transfer it to you."

The money Wang Ping made from betting on stones has passed through Ming Road.Mom and Dad knew that she had made a lot of money betting on stones before, so they went to Myanmar together this time.Although I told them before that they should not publicize it for safety reasons.

Mom and Dad also know this truth, they only say that the benefits of their unit have improved, so life has become more relaxed, and they didn't tell others about her making money by betting on stones.

But Wang Ping also knew that this kind of thing could not be kept secret for long, and there would be a day when it would be exposed, so she was not afraid to call the bank to transfer money in front of Rong Wanyu.

When Rong Wanyu saw that Wang Ping really had so much money, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak. When she realized that she hadn't called out "sister", Wang Ping had already stopped her: "Remember, nothing is wrong. Don't ask, don't say anything. You don't mean what you say, don't you?"

Rong Wanyu opened her mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound.

But Master Li didn't doubt that Wang Ping couldn't pay the money.Anyone who can come here is rich in wealth, or an expert in the antique circle.It's just because the location is relatively remote, and they traded antiques and talked lively, so he didn't notice the farce that Mai Jiahui brought Wang Ping in just now.In the so-called antique business, seven points are for treasures, and three points are for people. The old world of reading people can guess whether this person is reliable or not. Wang Ping's eyes are clear and open, and Master Li has a good impression of her. The only concern was that she looked too young, but then I thought about it. There are many young girls these days. It's really hard to say that she has a baby face, but she never thought that Wang Ping is really a future girl. adult girl.

After Wang Ping finished calling Fang Hua and asked him to transfer the 4 yuan to that account, he smiled and said to Wang Ping: "Little sister, according to the rules here, someone will pay you later." Go to check the account, I will give it to you when the money arrives in the account. Now this set of porcelain is stored with Mr. Mai first, is there no problem?"

Wang Ping thought about it, and felt that everyone should trust Mak Ka Fai's reputation, so he opened this antique fair on his site.So he nodded kindly.

A sudden "Hello" interrupted the conversation between Wang Ping and Master Li. Wang Ping turned her head and saw that Alex walked by her side at some point. The man and those women are in the same group, I don't know what to do here?

Unexpectedly, Wang Ping did not expect him to speak: "Hey, I am apologizing to you on behalf of my two friends. I was really sorry just now, and I don't know how to call you?"

Wang Ping thought for a while, since she was smiling and accompanying her, she couldn't be too rude.So he nodded and said, "Hello, my surname is Wang."

"Oh, so it's Ms. Wang, hello! My name is Xu Ming, everyone calls me Alex, and this is my business card." Alex handed over his business card.

This was the first time someone handed her a business card. Wang Ping took a look at it with both hands. The title on it read "General Manager of S Province Zhongqiang Construction Co., Ltd."

S Province Zhongqiang Construction Co., Ltd.?

Wang Ping stared at the company name on his business card for a moment. Does this name sound familiar?The last time I was on the phone with Brother Qin, I seemed to have heard of a similar... um... what is it called... It seems to be... Zhongqiang Group, it seems that he and others started it together.It has his stake in it.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping couldn't help asking: "I don't know if your Zhongqiang Construction Company has any relationship with Zhongqiang Group?"

"Hey, does Miss Wang know a lot? Even Zhongqiang Group? That's right, our construction company is a subsidiary of Zhongqiang Group." Alex said with a smile.

Master Li next to him also laughed when he heard the words: "Xu Ming, I haven't seen you for a few years and you have become the general manager? Back then, when you came back from studying abroad, your parents accompanied you to my place to shop for things. I Seeing you with yellow hair and bragging about wanting to be the best architectural designer in China, I see you are very upset. I didn’t expect you to be a promising boy, and you really became the boss of a construction company in just a few years. ? The Zhongqiang Group is the property of the Qin family. Since you can get on board with their family, your future will definitely be bright."

The Qin family.Is it really related to Brother Qin Feng?

Unexpectedly, after going around in a circle, everyone knew each other.

Not only this Master Li and Alex know each other, Alex is also the boss of the company under Qin Feng's brother, this circle is really small!

Wang Ping stood by and listened to their reminiscence.It turns out that Alex is the son of a friend of Master Li. Although he has been abroad for several years, he has always been very interested in Chinese culture and antiques, and Master Li is an old expert in the antique circle in Hehai City.So the two knew each other.Because what Wang Ping bought was the last antique he brought to resell, so now I have time to drink tea when I have nothing to do.Chat with them.

Wang Ping didn't know much about antiques, so she stayed and listened quietly when she saw that the two of them were talking a lot.The two actresses who had ridiculed Wang Ping for their old and vulgar clothes had gone somewhere, and they probably felt embarrassed to appear in front of Wang Ping. As for Rong Wanyu, when she saw Yan Shaoqing coming down, she hurriedly left her and went over.

Master Li and Xu Ming were talking, and then they suddenly talked about Xu Ming's work. Seeing them talking about this, Wang Ping had already planned to leave, but suddenly heard Xu Ming say: "The company's business is very large now. We only undertake large-scale housing construction, but we are also doing interior decoration. I think if this part is done well, the market prospect will be very good, and no matter how thin the legs of mosquitoes are, they are still meat."

When he said this, Wang Ping's heart suddenly moved. She had already bought her shop in the CBD square and was waiting for renovation.The style of the first floor is designed to be small and fresh, environmentally friendly and low-carbon, comfortable and low-key, and the cost will not be too high. It just conforms to the trend of future generations. This design style is not afraid of being outdated. I plan to build it into a high-end: high-end atmosphere and high-grade, moving closer to private clubs.

Although it is a teahouse and bookstore, you can also drink tea and burn incense. Isn’t the tea set prepared by yourself all antique?

It's just that she has no idea who to contract the decoration to.It is said that the construction industry is deep, especially the decoration. I and my parents don't know much about it. If the water pipes and wires are not done well during the decoration, or if I use inferior painted wood to deceive myself, I don't know at all, maybe It will not be discovered until a few years later when there is a water leakage and power outage.

So the store was bought, but Wang Ping has never dared to hire someone to decorate it. Now I heard Xu Ming boasting about what international awards he won when he was a designer abroad, and heard him talking about antiques. I also understand it very well, and I can't help but feel a move in my heart.

If it is Qin Feng's brother's property, can he let him do the decoration for himself?

Wang Ping believed that with Qin Feng's wealth and status, she didn't need to deceive herself with this small amount of money, and she didn't refuse to pay, but instead took care of the Qin family's company and offered to let them do business.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping couldn't help but secretly smiled because of her own idea.

And Xu Ming, who was opposite her, would never have imagined that a week later, the boss of the headquarter group would call him directly, asking him to put aside several major projects in Hehai City and go to Jiangzhou City to renovate a small bookstore.
