21. Chapter 21 King Snake Fights Giant Python(1/3)
After He Xiangfei finished the provocation, he had already guessed that someone would stand up, and he also hoped that someone would stand up, because in this way he could continue to get angry and drive out the people from Yubaozhai.
It's not that he has any deep hatred, it's just that he doesn't want someone he doesn't like to be present at his most important moment.
The people from Yubaozhai were definitely one of the people he didn't like, so he remembered clearly that he had never sent an invitation letter to Yubaozhai.
Of course, it is also possible that it was sent by another staff member, or even by his father or grandfather.
But no matter what, He Xiangfei could not allow people from Yubaozhai to be around when he was most important, so he made such a provocation.
He didn't expect that the person who would stand up would be Ding Xiaobu, which made him startled. Because he had just heard the rumors from outside, and he couldn't help but admire this young man's ability. But he didn't expect that he would actually stand on his own now.
The opposite made He Xiangfei frown and chuckled: "It's just a joke, little brother, why should we take it seriously?"
He also laughed, bringing the originally silent scene back to life, and everyone laughed too, but there was a pity in their hearts that they didn't watch the good show of a king snake meeting a giant python, which seemed a little bit...
have no choice.
Ding Xiaobu didn't fight back in vain. Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss, and this was his home court, so he didn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, He Xiangfei had just walked out not far when he coldly scolded the staff member: "Hurry up and check it out for me. What's going on? Cats and dogs have been let in. What kind of place are we, He Xinzhai, using?"
, a bunch of trash.”
The meaning of the words was naturally directed at Ding Xiaobu and Kou Sijie, which also made the originally warm situation cool down again, and no one dared to speak loudly.
Because they all know that this good show seems to have made new progress, and they are all looking forward to Ding Xiaobu's counterattack.
But Kou Sijie suddenly grabbed Ding Xiaobu's hand and shook his head at him, which meant that he should endure it.
Ding Xiaobu was really angry. He felt as if he had been tricked and hit by an arrow in the back. He was very depressed. But the young woman had already spoken, so he had no choice but to let it go and did not fight back. The scene was filled with catharsis.
Even Wang Shan next to him let out a long breath and said with a smile: "Ten years is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi. Mr. Xiao Ding, don't worry, I see that your Royal Treasure House
Ah, it’s time to develop.”
He also patted Ding Xiaobu on the shoulder, which means it all depends on you.
The other people who were originally chatting also quickly cheered up Kou Sijie and Ding Xiaobu, making them feel as if they were at home and not so angry.
However, they were still a little depressed, so the two of them walked to the side, took a glass of champagne, and started drinking by themselves.
Kou Sijie even took a sip and sighed: "My husband fought with them every day when he was alive. Not to mention the ones he couldn't fight with, he even collapsed from exhaustion. Now, I just want to make some money and live a good life."
So, brother Xiaobu, don’t be angry, haven’t we already made more than 300,000 yuan?”
"That's true."
Ding Xiaobu could understand the young woman's mood, so he didn't force it, but his character couldn't give in like that. Especially when he saw the young woman's helpless expression, he became even more angry, and secretly took advantage of it.
I made up my mind to take revenge.
But he didn't understand the grievances between Yubaozhai and He Xinzhai, so he asked: "Sister Kou, it's still early, the appreciation meeting officially starts in the afternoon, why don't you tell me about the grievances between your two families."
"this??????"
The young woman didn't want to talk about it, because this history of grievances was almost the history of the Lin family's defeat, but now on this occasion and in this atmosphere, she felt it was okay to talk about it, so she started talking about it.
It turns out that Yubaozhai was built when Shanghai was established as a concession in the late Qing Dynasty. The business at that time was not very good, and it was only enough for the family to make ends meet.
It wasn't until the founding of the Republic of China and Shanghai SIPG became a world of beauty that Yubaozhai finally gained some fame and some foundation. But it didn't last long, and then it caught up with the eight-year Anti-Japanese War. Within three years, everything was open and closed.
It didn't develop much, but it managed to survive without closing down.
Later, it became a public-private partnership. After the ten-year Cultural Revolution, it was completely closed down. During this period, in order to preserve some antiques and cultural relics, several elderly people in the Lin family died before they could survive that crisis.
After the reform and opening up, Hong Kong businessmen, Taiwanese businessmen, and overseas Chinese came to SIPG to invest one after another, which also triggered a craze for antiques. At this time, Yubaozhai finally became the first example in SIPG based on the foundation that had survived these years.
The leading boss.
He Xinzhai had just been established and opened for business at this time. The business was not very good at the beginning. He also came to Yubaozhai to visit the dock and received a lot of help from Grandpa Lin Youyou.
But things in the world are like this, with ups and downs. After Lin Youyou's grandfather died, Yubaozhai's business began to become worse than before, reducing by more than half. But it still maintained its status as the leader.
However, it rained all night, and Yubaozhai was implicated in a cultural relic smuggling case and closed for more than half a year. As a result, the business suddenly dropped by more than half. In addition, the business was not very good, and Yubaozhai finally closed down.
It's because his golden status has been shattered and he has lost the momentum of being the leader in the industry.
As for this matter, I later found out that it was He Xinzhai who reported it. Of course, it was Yu Baozhai who failed to do a good job and gave others a handle, so he didn't think too much about it at first.
Unexpectedly, in the next two or three years, He Xinzhai targeted Yubaozhai everywhere, causing Yubaozhai's business to never improve.
It was also announced that He Xinzhai would replace Yu Baozhai as the top player in SIPG. Since then, the struggle between you and me has begun for more than ten years.
In this process, Yubaozhai also lost more and won less, and was gradually eroded by He Xinzhai. However, after more than ten years of fighting, He Xinzhai stepped on Yubaozhai and became the real leader of SIPG.
Yifan, the industry leader.
So it is understandable why the two families started to fight each other as soon as they met.
Ding Xiaobu finally understood and couldn't help but patted the young woman's shoulder to express comfort.
The young woman smiled calmly and said: "Brother Xiaobu, I'm not sad. Didn't you tell me that when we came here? Life is bound to have its ups and downs, not to mention this century-old foundation. So, I'm not sad at all.
When my husband passed away, he was able to bear the humiliation and come to this appreciation conference, so why can't I come?
Besides, how could you possibly get the food you have now with the style you had back then? Our Yubaozhai has just started again, so it’s even more important to come. And it’s the right time to come, haven’t we already earned more than 300,000 yuan?
?” and smiled faintly.
Ding Xiaobu said nothing more, but he could still see a bit of sadness in the young woman's eyebrows, and he couldn't help but make up his mind that he must help Yu Baozhai and Doudou He Xinzhai.
Then at noon, the two of them had a light meal with Wang Shan and others. The food was pretty good, and their moods relaxed a lot.
After returning to the hall, the appreciation meeting officially began, and it also reached the climax. He Xinzhai was going to display their collection this year.
Everyone immediately gathered around the booth, three floors inside and three outside, looking at the ten exhibits wrapped in yellow cloth. They couldn't help but whisper and guess among themselves.
The true face of ten things.
Some of them are paintings, and some are Buddha statues or porcelain. But what they are, you can only know when the yellow cloth is lifted, and you start to look forward to the appearance of He Xinzhai's old club.
.
Because according to tradition, this pioneer in the SIPG antique shop and the leader of the industry can only lift the yellow cloth after he appears.
At this time, thousands of troops finally came out. Surrounded by the crowd, an old man over seventy years old with white temples walked out on a cane.
Although he looked good, one of his legs could not move. The young master, He Xiangfei, carefully supported him beside him, which also showed his identity as his successor.
Immediately afterwards, deafening applause erupted in the hall, giving the most sincere welcome to this leading figure in the SIPG antique shop.
"You're welcome, everyone. You're welcome, everyone."
The old man's name was He Xinlong. He was from the north and had a bit of a Hebei accent. As soon as he came up, he greeted everyone politely without any airs. However, his deeds did not allow people to admire him and he immediately returned the greeting politely.
Behind him were some people from the antique shop, such as Uncle Gong, the old men who had gathered around Ding Xiaobu just now, and naturally some staff from He Xinzhai, forming a small queue.
Surrounded by people, the momentum becomes even stronger.
After everyone came in, He Xinlong sat down and then spoke again, "Everyone is impatient, Xiao Fei, so hurry up and show it to everyone."
"Hey, Grandpa!"
He Xiangfei nodded to He Xinlong, walked towards the ten exhibits, and began to lift the yellow cloth from east to west. It immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Under the first yellow cloth, I saw a blue and white porcelain tea cup. The workmanship was extremely fine, as if it were a miraculous craftsmanship. Although it was not big, blue and white porcelain was rarely seen these days except in museums and major auction houses. It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
I was so calm that I didn't even dare to breathe.
Definitely a good start.
He Xiangfei began to lift the second piece, which was a little short of the mark. It was an oracle bone from the Yin Ruins. The third piece was a private official seal from the Ming Dynasty. The fourth piece was a female snuff bottle from the Qing Dynasty.
The fifth item is a rubbing of Kangxi's Fu character stele. Because Kangxi's father was named Fulin, the number of blessing characters he wrote in his life was limited, making it rare.
The sixth piece is a pair of Qi Baishi's ink shrimps, the seventh piece is a gold funeral mask from the Liao Dynasty, and the eighth piece is a white porcelain double-bellied dragon-handled vase.
The ninth piece is a gilded clay Buddha from the Northern Wei Dynasty. The tenth piece is a beauty painting of Tang Bohu.
Like museum exhibits, they appeared in everyone's field of vision one after another. They were all dumbfounded because today's ten items have far surpassed those in previous years, ranging from Yin Ruins oracle bones, to Song blue and white porcelain, to Ming and Tang Bohu's beauties.
, He Qing Dynasty's makeup girl snuff bottles, and Qi Baishi's ink shrimps in the Republic of China, almost capture all the essence of China's five thousand years of history.
For a moment, the people present didn't even dare to breathe. They watched carefully and expressed their deep admiration for He Xinzhai's handwriting this time.
Even Ding Xiaobu couldn't help but look sideways, because even if he was asked to look for these things, he might not be able to find them. He also had a new understanding of He Xinzhai and the two bosses. Their success seemed to be
It's not just the so-called conspiracy, but also has some strength.
Ding Xiaobu couldn't help but start to take a closer look.
"Everyone, take your time and take a look. These things have been collected by my grandson from all over the country this year. This is the first time for me to see them. It really makes my old face shine."
He Xinlong held a purple clay teacup and poured himself a cup, his tone full of pride.
It's no wonder, because there are more things about me being a hero and his son being a bastard than there being things about me being a hero and his son being a good man. He Xinlong is naturally very proud to have such a pillar of the family.
The family property was not even passed on to the son, but was passed directly to the grandson, which is enough to show his doting on him.
Of course, He Xiangfei did not embarrass this legend in the SIPG antique shop. He took over He Xinzhai so beautifully that no one could say no.
So He Xiangfei was very happy today. Of course, except for the eyesores of Ding Xiaobu and Kou Sijie, he was already satisfied and was no longer satisfied.
However, he still understood the principle of loss when the moon is full, so he didn't think about it anymore and called other seniors to get up from their chairs and come over to watch.
To be continued...
