"Squad leader, I remember that you have an old comrade working in the JDZ City Public Security Bureau?" Zhang Junping asked directly.
"Yes, he seems to be the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment now. What's wrong? Are you busy?" Xu Shaomin asked casually.
"Something happened. Our company's team leader Niu Wensheng and Niu went to JDZ to contact porcelain crafts, and unexpectedly discovered that a large number of imitation Kangxi multicolored porcelain appeared in JDZ.
In addition, it was also discovered that the director of JDZ Porcelain Factory No. 1 was a descendant of Kang Fang.
I infer that the descendants of Kang Fang may be using JDZ Porcelain Factory to imitate antique porcelain." Zhang Junping briefly explained the situation.
“What is Kangfang?”
"Kang imitation is a fake antique made by a person named Kang.
Once such fake antiques enter the market, they will cause great property losses to the people." Zhang Junping explained.
In the late 1970s and soon into the 1980s, with the reform and opening up, many people began to collect antiques.
With the process of reform and opening up, the antique market has begun to gradually regain its vitality.
At this time, the emergence of counterfeit products will greatly impact the development of the market and the desire of collectors to purchase.
In fact, in Zhang Junping's view, with that technology, imitating ancient porcelain is really not worth the gain.
Seriously fired modern porcelain, collectible modern porcelain, after being hyped by art companies, is definitely more profitable than imitation of ancient porcelain.
It's not illegal, and the money you make is clean.
However, there are some people who, instead of taking the sunny road, take the bumpy and detour road to make money.
"Okay, I get it, I'll call Old Tang right now!" Xu Shaomin also had no ink marks and hung up the phone after saying that.
After Zhang Junping put down the phone, he returned to the reception area.
"Old Niu, next, you should be busy with other things. After the matters at the porcelain factory are finished, I will notify you to take up the post."
"Thank you, manager, for your trust. I will do my best!" Niu Wensheng quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Okay, old cow, no need to say any kind words, do your best!
By the way, you can go to Mr. Liu and the others to urge you to collect as many collectible handicrafts as possible in the past few days."
"Okay, manager!"
"If you look at their factory, they have suitable handicrafts. You can also negotiate to buy them to enrich our art inventory.
To be honest, we already have a lot of calligraphy and painting works in our warehouse, but there is still a big gap in handicrafts, especially collection-level handicrafts."
"Yes! The key is that we still have too few contracted craftsmen, so the works are definitely lacking."
"What you said makes sense. You and Manager Chen will discuss it later and hold a national handicraft competition as a gift for National Day.
Using the name of the competition, we will collect a good collection of handicrafts and sign a group of capable old craftsmen and young craftsmen with potential."
"Should the handicraft competition be divided into two groups?" Niu Wensheng thought for a while and asked.
"Divided into three groups! Youth group, youth group, and famous craftsman group."
"Okay, I will report this matter to Manager Chen after I get back."
Then Zhang Junping explained some things to Niu Wensheng before letting him go.
…
On Monday, Zhang Junping got on the train and headed to Hegang.
Also accompanying us were Qiu Wenyan, Xia Guoxiang and Gangzi.
The last time he went abroad, Zhang Junping wanted to take Qiu Wenyan with him.
As a result, Qiu Wenyan was pregnant and was unable to go.
It just so happened that I was going to the Northeast this time. The Northeast in May was neither too cold nor too hot, so it was a good time.
Therefore, Zhang Junping simply took Qiu Wenyan with him.
Anyway, I was in a soft sleeper, and I had a director-level master of traditional Chinese medicine accompanying me, so I didn’t have to worry about anything going wrong.
Along the way, Zhang Junping and Qiu Wenyan were fighting each other, feeding Gangzi and Xia Guoxiang a lot of dog food.
After eating dog food until they vomited, Gangzi and Xia Guoxiang began to think about finding a wife.
Although dog food is good, it doesn’t make you hungry!
I feel nauseated after eating too much.
After transferring at JMS, a group of four people arrived at Hegang.
As soon as he arrived in Hegang, Zhang Junping regretted that he should not have brought Qiu Wenyan here.
In Hegang in May, coal dust floats in the air, and the entire sky is gray.
This season is the peak season for production. The coal mines are operating at full capacity, and the transportation fleet is naturally working overtime to transport the coal to the freight yard, load it on trains, and transport it to all parts of the country.
Relying on coal resources, Hegang has formed a heavy industrial city dominated by coal.
All kinds of industrial pollution are very serious.
In fact, in this era, all heavy industrial cities look like this. The sky is cloudy and gray.
Like Hegang, things only get better in winter. In winter, many companies stop production due to climate reasons. Heavy snow will also purify the dust floating in the air. Only at this time can you see the blue sky.
However, since you are already here, you can't turn around and leave.
Niu Qingkui was already driving his car and waiting for them at the entrance of the train station.
"Brother Niu!"
"Brother!" Niu Qingkui gave Zhang Junping a warm hug as soon as they met.
"Let me introduce you, this is my wife, your sister-in-law! You know this, my apprentice.
This is Du Jiangang, a Hong Kong businessman from Hong Kong. He came to Northeast China mainly to open a trading company in Northeast China."
"Thunder Monkey, Mr. Niu!" Du Jiangang greeted Niu Qingkui in Xiangjiang Mandarin.
"Hello, hello!" Niu Qingkui was stunned for a moment.
Gangzi and Qiangzi have been in Xiangjiang for several months. They may not be able to speak Cantonese well, but they can definitely scare people in the mainland by pretending to be Xiangjiang people and speaking Xiangjiang Mandarin.
Zhang Junping glared at Xia Guoxiang, who was suppressing a smile next to him, and then turned to explain to Niu Qingkui, who was in a daze: "The people in Xiangjiang talk like this, they have big tongues, as if they are holding something in their mouths."
“Well, this is really the first time I’ve seen people from Xiangjiang.
Brother, is this Xiangjiang guy really here to open a company in Gada?" Niu Qingkui asked in a low voice.
"Yes! How else would I bring the person here?
Brother Niu, how about this gift?" Zhang Junping asked with a soft smile.
"Okay! That's great! Thank you, brother, you are thoughtful." Niu Qingkui's mind turned around and he understood what Zhang Junping meant by the gift.
This is a political achievement delivered to your doorstep.
The whole country is playing a game of chess, revitalizing the economy and attracting investment. This is the overall situation.
"Why are we brothers so polite?" Zhang Junping patted Niu Qingkui and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm sorry I won't say any more!"
Niu Qingkui drove the four of them directly to the most luxurious guest house in Hegang, the Municipal Party Committee Guest House.
Three first-class guest rooms were arranged. Originally, according to their levels, there were not enough to open first-class guest rooms.
You know, the first-class guest rooms in the municipal party committee guest house are equivalent to luxury suites in high-end hotels.
Even compared to business suites in five-star hotels, it's not bad at all.
Still, Niu Qingkui found the director of the guest house and told him that it was a foreign businessman invited directly.
Gangzi took out his Xiangjiang passport, and the guest house opened three first-class guest rooms.
"Mr. Du, please wash your face first and rest for a while. I will pick you up at noon." Niu Qingkui said politely.
"Mr. Niu seems so polite!" Gangzi continued speaking in Xiangjiang Mandarin.
After sending Niu Qingkui away, Gangzi quickly closed the door. Just now he almost couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
"Brother, you and your siblings have a rest first. I have arranged a reception banquet for noon." Niu Qingkui came to Zhang Junping's room again and exchanged a few polite words with him.
"Brother Niu, we brothers, there is no need to be polite.
Just entertain Du Jiangang well.
By the way, this is the Leica camera you asked me to bring you, and this is the receipt from BJ Friendship Store." Zhang Junping took out the camera from his bag and handed it to Niu Qingkui.
Then, he took out two more special Chinese cigarettes for the troops from his bag.
Liao Bushi got this Chinese smoke from his old chief.
When the old chief heard that there were 200 job openings, he was very happy and gave Liao Bu eleven boxes of special Chinese cigarettes and ten boxes of special Maotai.
However, it is said that later, after the excitement passed, he regretted it.
Sneak Liao Bu Shiti over so that everything can be sorted out.
Unfortunately, there was no use cleaning up, as Zhang Junping and Liao Bushi had already divided the spoils.
"Brother Niu, knowing that you are not lacking anything else, I brought you two cigarettes."
"Brother, you are too polite..." Niu Qingkui was about to refuse when he suddenly noticed that the cigarette Zhang Junping took out was different.
What happened next can never be said again.
Good guy, the last time I saw this kind of cigarette was from Zhang Junping. That time he only got a pack of cigarettes.
That pack of cigarettes allowed him to show off for a long time.
This time there are two directly.
How long do you have to keep pretending?
Go back and install a bigger one.
It just so happens that my father-in-law's boss is retiring. If the operation is done well, I might directly become the boss of my father-in-law.
Niu Qingkui looked at the two special offerings to China and couldn't help but feel lustful in his heart.
After a moment of thought, Niu Qingkui put away his camera and cigarette.
"Brother, I won't disturb you and your siblings' rest.
When we meet, your beloved brother will take it." Niu Qingkui said, beating his chest.
"Pingzi, isn't the Northeast too dirty? Look, it only took a while, but my face is covered with gray." Qiu Wenyan muttered while washing her face.
“This is what heavy industrial cities are like, especially resource-based heavy industrial cities.
I also ignored it, otherwise, I would definitely not have brought you here.
In this way, after attending Niu Qingkui's wedding banquet tomorrow, we will go to JMS, which is cleaner."
"Forget it, don't you still have business? Don't delay the business, I'm not that delicate."
"In my heart, you are the most delicate person in the world." Zhang Junping put his arms around Qiu Wenyan's waist and gently placed his hand on her belly.
Although they are only two months old, because they are twins, their belly is already a little bulging.
"I came here mainly to attend the wedding, and Gangzi and Xiangzi can take care of the rest." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Okay, then it's up to you!"
"Just listen to me! After attending the wedding, we will go to JMS first, and then go north to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland."
"Yes!" Qiu Wenyan leaned into Zhang Junping's arms and nodded lightly.
A very heartwarming picture.
When it was almost noon, Niu Qingkui knocked on the door again.
"Brother, let's go! I've called all my brothers and I'll pick you up at noon.
Oh, by the way, I called our boss and the boss’s boss, after all, that Xiangjiang guy is coming to invest, and I dare not hide such a big thing." Niu Qingkui explained apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. I brought him here just to give you a gift. Naturally, I will do it in a way that maximizes my interests." Zhang Junping smiled understandingly.
"Brother, you are still open-minded!" Niu Qingkui felt relieved.
"There's one more thing, that's...that, the medicinal wine you prepared last time, can you prepare some more?"
"I prepared a thousand kilograms for you, right? Brother Niu, don't tell me that I finished it so quickly?"
"No, my old man confiscated most of it. The rest was given to my father-in-law and divided among my brothers." Niu Qingkui said with his fingers.
"By the way, you in the Northeast are not lacking in this! If you know how to make medicinal wine, you should have a lot of medicinal wine recipes."
"The medicinal wine they brew is not as good as the medicinal wine you brew! Let me tell you, your medicinal wine is already famous in our Gada."
It’s not that those ancient prescriptions that have been passed down are no good, but that with the development of the times, the medicinal properties of medicinal materials are constantly changing.
As the medicinal properties of medicinal materials change, their efficacy will naturally change accordingly.
This reflects the ability of a Chinese herbalist. An experienced Chinese herbalist can clearly grasp the changes in the properties of the medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine can adjust the dosage of the medicine to achieve a more perfect effect.
"Brother Niu, it's not that I don't help, other medicinal materials are easy to get. The key is that old ginseng is difficult to get! Without old ginseng, brother, I am a clever woman who can't make a meal without rice."
"Brother, don't worry, Lao Shen's matter will be taken care of by me!" Niu Qingkui promised, patting his chest.
"If you can handle Lao Shen, everything else is easy!"
Zhang Junping and Niu Qingkui said this and came to the restaurant of the Municipal Party Committee Guest House.
Niu Qingkui originally booked the guest house of the Coal Industry Bureau, but a Xiangjiang investor suddenly appeared, so Niu Qingkui simply changed his accommodation and dining place to the municipal party committee guest house.
It can also be seen from this that Niu Qingkui is still very capable and decisive.
Of course, if Niu Qingkui had no ability and was just a second-generation man relying on the shadow of his father, Zhang Junping would never come here in person.
The reception banquet at noon, because the director from the street attended it, turned into a business banquet, which was very enthusiastic and boring.
In the afternoon, Tian Jianjun came to the room where Zhang Junping lived.
"Brother Tian, there were so many people at noon today, and I didn't have time to have a good chat with Brother Tian." Zhang Junping smiled and let Tian Jianjun into the room.
"Brother Zhang, when Niu Zi gets married, we brothers can have a nice reunion."
"Okay!"
"Niu Zi asked me to bring this to you. There are twenty old wild ginseng sticks in total. You can see if it's suitable." Tian Jianjun took out the old wild ginseng from his bag and put it on the coffee table.
"Otherwise, you still have something to do. These wild ginsengs are all old products worth more than five taels, but they are all treasures!" Zhang Junping took a look and nodded with a smile.
"It's just that Brother Niu is too anxious. Can't he wait until after marriage?" Zhang Junping joked.
"You don't know how popular those medicinal wines you concocted last year were.
Everyone who knew me or not, as long as they felt they could talk to a few of us, came to us and asked for drinks.
The point is, there are so many people that we really can’t afford to offend.
Brother Zhang! We are almost driven crazy." Tian Jianjun poured out his bitterness.
"Brother Tian, what you said is a bit exaggerated!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Exaggeration? Let's put it this way, go to the front desk now and tell the director of the guest house that you have Hegang Baimi medicinal wine, and the grandson can treat you as an ancestor."
"Brother Tian, if it's like what you said, then your twenty old ginseng sticks won't be enough! These can make up to two thousand kilograms of medicinal wine at most."
"Two thousand catties, just two thousand catties! It's too much and it's not necessary.
Medicinal wine must be rare and expensive."
"Brother Tian, you still see clearly!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
If we really opened up the supply, would it still be able to play its due role?
No matter how useful something is, once it is no longer rare, it will no longer feel precious.
Tian Jianjun chatted with Zhang Junping for a while, then said goodbye and left.
As Niu Qingkui's buddy, Niu Qingkui will get married tomorrow, and he also has a lot of things to do today.
After seeing Tian Jianjun off, Zhang Junping said something to Qiu Wenyan and left the guest house with his briefcase.
I didn't take Qiu Wenyan out. The dust on the street was too serious. It was better to stay in the room.
Zhang Junping strolled to the pharmacy.
The same old master from last time was sitting on a chair, drinking tea leisurely.
At his age, the apprentices have brought out a lot of people, so they don't have to do any work themselves. They just come to the pharmacy and sit in charge.
"Master!" Zhang Junping stepped forward to say hello.
"You...you are the one from last time...Sorry, I don't know your last name yet!"
"My surname is Zhang! Master, I'll come over and grab some medicine!" Zhang Junping put a prescription on the counter.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, do you want to make a prescription for medicinal wine?" The old chef was not polite and directly picked up the prescription and studied it carefully.
After the medicinal wine prepared by Zhang Junping became popular, the master followed the prescription and brewed some medicinal wine himself.
However, the effect cannot be said to be insignificant, and it is even a little better than those prescriptions handed down.
But it's limited, and it's not as magical as what is said outside.
A master chef knows that this recipe is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and the real thing has not leaked out.
"Yes! Master, please follow the recipe above and give me twenty medicines." Zhang Junping nodded.
The old master took a look at it and saw that it was a very ordinary medicinal wine recipe. The monarch, ministers and envoys were balanced and ordinary. There was nothing outstanding about it.
But this ordinary prescription actually caused a craze for medicinal wine in Hegang.
"Third son, give this gentleman some medicine!" The old master casually handed the prescription to his apprentice.
He now understands that you can never tell the real thing just by looking at prescriptions.
"Mr. Zhang, I wonder if it would be convenient for me to prepare a pair of medicinal ingredients for making medicinal wine?" The old master smiled and flirted with Zhang Junping.
"Master, this requires a main ingredient. You should know that the preparation is simple, but the old wild ginseng is difficult to prepare!" Zhang Junping said with a careless smile.
"Old wild ginseng, this is easy to handle. I have it here. I can find you whatever kind of old wild ginseng you need." The old master assured, patting his chest.
