Chapter 13 Jiang Shaoqing
He picked up the jade sign from the ground, but did not take the man's briefcase.
"If it's convenient for you, I'd rather transfer money via online banking. I'm a lazy guy, but I don't want to get cramps in my hands from counting money."
Two hundred and fifty thousand is a big deal in the ghost market, not a small amount. Whether it is looking at the number of people or waiting for people to pay or checking the authenticity, it is not a pleasant thing. After getting the person's consent, Chang Xian pulled out a card.
He handed it over and said sincerely: "I really didn't pay attention to your bag."
Although the man's words just now were said with a smile, today's deal was ultimately based on the other party's urgent needs, and it was inevitable that the other party would be a little estranged. Although Chang Xian was not afraid of anything, he would try not to make any grudges if he could.
Chang Xian's words were a superficial explanation on the one hand, and on the other hand they showed that he was aboveboard and not afraid of problems. Looking for the back cover also showed Chang Xian's confidence. You must know that the vendors in the ghost market all follow the "close up in the middle of the night, and the rooster crows."
According to the "loose" rule, most people are not willing to leave any tail in online banking transfers, and they are all just cheating (cash transactions).
"Okay, I've transferred it. Please check."
Sure enough, the man laughed heartily and said, "My little brother seems pretty good to me. He doesn't seem like someone who just throws away antiques. Isn't it convenient for us to get to know each other and make friends?"
"I got it, thank you very much. We are open for business today, but we will be able to make money tomorrow."
Chang Xian glanced at the payment notification on his phone: "You are really perceptive and sharp. I have been suspended without pay for less than half a month, and I still have my business card from before. Please support me more in the future."
"Nice to meet you, Xingchen Company, Chang Xian."
"What a coincidence, BC District Government, Jiang Shaoqing."
The two exchanged business cards. Xingchen Company is located in the BC district, and the two units are quite close, so Jiang Shaoqing said it was a coincidence. Looking at the business card, Jiang Shaoqing looked young, but he was the deputy secretary-general of the BC district government.
Jinmen is a municipality directly under the Central Government, and the deputy secretary-general of the district government is a serious division-level official. The reason why he is willing to lower his dignity and make friends with such a small street vendor is that the secretary-general of the government is in charge of government offices, mainly to serve the leaders and needs all kinds of services.
Special network resources should be prepared, and they will be used if they are not fully secured; secondly, if there is any problem, Jiang Shaoqing is not a good man or woman.
"It's fate. Today is the first time I practice stalling in the ghost market, and I got to know Brother Jiang. This is fate. We have to shake hands."
Jiang Shaoqing walked to the side of the road, stretched out his hand and joined Chang Xian: "I feel the same way. I am actually rushing to sell goods on the shelves. It is my first time to go shopping in the ghost market. That is to say, this scene is not right. Otherwise, I really need to have a drink."
"Haha, drinking is common, but fate is rare. Just like when we play with antiques, Brother Jiang, what do you think is the most important thing?"
Chang Xian smiled and said: "Some people say it's vision, some people say it's connections, but they're actually not accurate enough. In the antique industry, I think what really matters is two words - fate.
Therefore, most of the older generation of people who play antiques that I see believe in fate. They believe that sometimes things must be fulfilled in fate, and things must always be forced in fate.
If an item is not destined to you and you force it into your hands, this is called going against the will of heaven and will cause endless disasters. The antique will no longer be a good thing, but will become a vicious thing that devours its owner.
Then the person will be ruined and his reputation will be ruined, and more importantly, the family will be destroyed. What if there is fate? It will come unexpectedly, cultivate one's moral character, and leave a good story. "
Jiang Shaoqing patted the briefcase and said, "In order to find this, I ran along the southeast corner to Binjiang Road for two days, and the heels of my shoes were half worn down, so this object came to me unexpectedly."
"Brother Jiang, this is your fate. I think it is auspicious for you to have a good relationship today."
"Um?"
"This is it."
Chang Xian pointed to a cylindrical porcelain dish on the stall.
This thing is a bit weird. Jiang Shaoqing touched his chin and said, "What is this? I have never seen it before?"
"This thing is a hat tube, commonly known as "official hat tube". It was used by officials in the Qing Dynasty to put flower feathers on their heads. The inside and outside of this hat tube are covered with cyan glaze. The glaze color is warm and bright, crystal clear, and the glaze is especially green and lovely.
It is a fine product of Longquan kiln hat tube."
Chang Xian took the hat tube with his left hand, and took the flashlight with his right hand and gestured on it: "This hat tube is made in a traditional style. Judging from the style, it is from the early Jiaqing period. It has a straight mouth, a hollow belly, and two double lines on the upper end of the outer wall.
There is a grid pattern diagonally drawn between the two edges, and the wall of the tube is decorated with six equidistant, staggered up and down crabapple-style holes. This is to facilitate the dispersion of sweat in the hat, and can also be used for incense and deodorization. The hat
It will not deform. It is cleverly crafted and extremely sophisticated. This is true low-key luxury."
He shook his head slightly and clicked his tongue twice, as if in admiration, and then slowly turned it so that Jiang Shaoqing could see more clearly: "Let's take a look at the workmanship. The pattern on the belly of the tube is water hibiscus. The carving is delicate, lively, and the lines are
Comfortable and graceful, it is the image of a gentleman coming out of the mud without being stained, and it also has the artistic conception of "the wind and the load are moving upright". There are four fish swimming below, namely herring, white fish, silver carp and bream."
Jiang Shaoqing nodded and said: "Well, this should mean "innocent and honest"."
"Yes, people use what they use. Since the hat tube is used to hold the crown and wear flower feathers, it must fit the status of an official. The ancestors made things. Every move has laws, and every penny has connotation. It is everywhere.
culture."
Chang Xian continued: "Although there is no such thing as an "official hat" for officials nowadays, they still need to wear hats, especially in the north, where they are standard in winter. In some uniformed units, they also have to wear large hats."
"But this thing still depends on the level. If you are a department-level cadre, the office is not more than 18 square meters, and the deputy department only has 12 square meters. It seems a bit too eye-catching to put such a hat tube on a cramped desk.
Yes. But when you get to the division level, the department level is very suitable."
Chang Xian patted the hat tube: "Now, it's rare to see a hat tube, and there are fewer people using it. When I saw you just now, I thought it was suitable. Although the thing is not big, it has such a fresh air
It’s expensive. Look at it like this and imagine that this is a desk..."
Chang Xian smiled and raised the hat tube to his abdomen with his left hand, which was the height of the desk. He faced Jiang Shaoqing and stepped back one after another, stopping at five or six steps. This was the approximate distance from the door to the leader's desk.
"What kind of hat is this? Let's think of it as a police hat."
He spread his right hand flat and placed it on the hat tube, with the front parts of the four fingers together and upward except for the thumb.
"Nowadays, hooks are used to hang hats. Over time, hats are easy to deform, and an extra hat appears out of thin air in a space, which looks abrupt and messy. But if you put a hat tube on the table and put the hats like this, it will be like the four treasures of the study.
