After being dressed as a scumbag, I was dismissed?!

Chapter 23

"Master Zheng?" Gu Beizhi put down the cloth and walked over, "Master Zheng wants to ask which one to choose?"

This son of Zheng is also an interesting person. His family is in the food business, and the scale is not small. He also has a lot of pocket money in his hand, but he is very stingy when it comes to eating, drinking and dressing, but he is very willing to buy paperweights.

Every month, I come to Liujia Street to find good paperweights. If famous people have used them, they will buy them with all their might, especially those used by high-ranking officials, they are especially fond of him.

Gu Beizhi has also seen the appearance of Mr. Zheng throwing a lot of money a few times, and he has a little understanding of his personality. This Mr. Zheng has a second problem, that is, he is afraid of picking.

It is also known as choice phobia.

Seeing this dilemma, Gu Beizhi could immediately judge that Mr. Zheng didn't have enough money to take down both paperweights, but he couldn't choose. At this time, Mr. Zheng's third feature came into play.

That is to find a random person to help him make a choice, no matter what he chooses, Mr. Zheng will buy it according to it!

The three problems of Zheng Gongzi combined, he really has a lot of troubles in antiques, but there is no way, he is such a person, so the reason why he loves Baoyixuan is very simple, Baoyixuan sold him Expensive things are expensive, not like the one that someone else gave him a high price but made him buy worthless.

"Yes, yes, old Gu, please help me take a look at it, which one should I choose between red and green?" Mr. Zheng touched the golden jade on the left and the sapphire on the right.

Because Gu Beizhi has been helping in the lobby, he has never relaxed his identification skills. He has already identified these two paperweights.

However, when the store received it, it was the appraiser Jin who was in charge of the appraisal, so he didn't care about it, just wanted to see who was related to these two very different paperweights.

Wenwan antiques are actually no different from gambling stones. There are many people who get rich overnight, and there are countless people who go bankrupt at once.

Just like the two paperweights in front of me, one is a priceless treasure, and the other is an old imitation.

However, the selling price was three thousand taels of silver.

Gu Beizhi was a little hesitant, should he let Young Master Zheng pick up this bargain?

"Master Zheng, although the paperweight shape of this golden thread jade is simple, it is superior to the quality of the jade. You see, there is no impurities at all. Not only that, the lines are extremely smooth, and it feels like a beauty, which makes you reluctant to let go. , I can't wait to play it all the time, and put it on the pure white Li Xuan, isn't it beautiful?"

Gu Beizhi didn't wait for him to think clearly, and then introduced another piece, "And this sapphire paperweight, the shape is very good, and the carving is also good. Very good, if you put it on top of Huang Xuan, it will be lush and vibrant, and you will feel relaxed and happy when you read and write." When

Young Master Zheng heard what he said, he was even more reluctant to give up, but it was a pity that he only had 4,000 taels, and this Bao Yixuan is the most unbearable. For the price set in the store, Shopkeeper Du will not give you a penny, at most, it will give you a bonus.

"Young Master Zheng, think about it again, if you put this golden ruby ​​on top of Li Xuan, who is white in the paper, wouldn't it be a bit cold and proud of snow? Put a sapphire paperweight on top of Huang Xuan, who smells the fragrance and knows the paper, Wouldn't the scent of Huang Xuan's flowers and plants be more vivid?"

As I said earlier, this Young Master Zheng is a person with a phobia of choice, and he liked everything, but after listening to Gu Beizhi's encouragement, he couldn't let go of any of them.

"Manager Du, this young master is also a regular customer of Bao Yixuan, don't you give me a discount?" Mr. Zheng wished that Shopkeeper Du would lower the price for him.

Shopkeeper Du touched his beard and said slowly, "We Baoyixuan's rules, Mr. Zheng also know that the price that has been set will never be changed. If Mr. Zheng buys both paperweights, the old man can make the decision and give him a white agate. Beads are added."

Gu Beizhi glanced at Shopkeeper Du in surprise. Today, Shopkeeper Du's speech was a bit blunt, and it was easy to drive away customers.

However, both of them underestimated Mr. Zheng's love for paperweights. After listening to Gu Beizhi's introduction, and then listening to Shopkeeper Du's suggestion to buy them all, they slapped the table and said, "I bought them! Buy them all!"

Shopkeeper Du almost tugged . After losing his two beards, he immediately said with a smile, "Okay, this old man will wrap two paperweights for Mr. Zheng, please come with the old man..."

Mr. Zheng took out four thousand taels of silver from his arms . He patted the table, "I don't have enough money on me, you can send someone to take it back with me."

"Xiao Ding, you accompany Mr. Zheng." Shopkeeper Du greeted Xiao Ding who was cleaning the museum shelf.

Since Baoyixuan and Zhenyu Pavilion handed over Wu Yong's paintings once, Baoyixuan counterattacked perfectly and snatched many guests of Zhenyu Pavilion, but Xiao Dingmei was broken, and he worked very enthusiastically every day. Not idle for a while.

"Hey! It's here." Xiao Ding hurriedly packed the rag, washed his hands, and followed Mr. Zheng to get the banknotes.

Before leaving, Mr. Zheng looked at the two paperweights carefully for a while, and reluctantly touched a handful of golden silk jade.

As soon as they left, Shopkeeper Du asked another guy to watch the store. He put away the two paperweights and put them in his hands, "Beijing, come with me." The

two went directly to the second floor. There is a room where Shopkeeper Du rests, and there are many details of the store, as well as many books.

After entering the room, Shopkeeper Du asked him to sit, no nonsense, and opened the box to reveal two paperweights inside, one red and one green, which matched well.

"Tell me, is there something wrong with these two paperweights?" Shopkeeper Du had a serious face and frowned, obviously very unhappy.

"Du Bo?" Shopkeeper

Du took out a golden thread jade paperweight, "This paperweight is wrong, isn't it?" Although he asked, his tone was very determined.

Gu Beizhi didn't expect the shopkeeper Du to be so sensitive, and he hesitated to tell the truth, because the price of these two paperweights was not high when they were received, only 1,500 taels, which was estimated by the gold appraiser and sold backhand. Going out is three thousand taels.

Don't look at the price difference of 1,500 taels, but in fact, Baoyixuan's order is really not a high price. In the eyes of people who don't know how to do it, Wenwan is just an ordinary jade paperweight, but in the eyes of collectors More than this money.

The poor cannot afford to collect, and those who are not short of money naturally care more about whether they can buy their favorite treasures.

"Beizhi, it's been almost two months since you came to the store, and you haven't done a single appraisal, and the old man didn't feel sorry for you. Now I want you to tell the truth, isn't it too much?" Shopkeeper Du obviously knows how to handle Gu Bei. Know.

What Gu Beizhi was most afraid of was not reprimanding, but not being able to repay others for taking care of him.

He immediately told the value of the sapphire paperweight. During the appraisal, he saw that the price of the gold thread jade paperweight was more than 10,000 taels. Now the limit of the golden finger is 10,000 taels. The golden thread jade has exceeded this range, and the sapphire jade The paperweight showed five hundred and fifty taels.

The price difference was so great that he had to examine the two paperweights carefully.

Later, it was found that the sapphire paperweight was an imitation, and the imitation was a jade horse paperweight worth tens of thousands of gold.

The real product was made by an aristocratic family owner 600 years ago. After many times, the image was known by many nobles, aristocratic families and big businessmen, and there were many imitations.

Or it can be called the same paragraph, because there are many of the same paragraph, and the value is also different, which should be judged from the year and the original owner.

But this jade horse paperweight is an old fake, that is, it was made in recent years, and it is only worth the money of jade, which is five hundred and fifty taels.

When shopkeeper Du heard this, he was still calm. After all, no one could guarantee that he would not miss it every time. He knocked on the table, "Beijing, go on, what about this golden jade?"

Gu Beizhi said with a smile . "Du Bo, Beizhi has just entered the industry, and his eyesight is still far from his predecessors. Why don't you ask Brother Jin to come over to see if the sapphire paperweight is true or not?"

"I'll ask Jin Dacheng to come over in a while, you finish first. In your judgment, what kind of magical power is this golden silk paperweight?" Shopkeeper Du obviously refused to let him fool him like this.

Seeing this, Gu Beizhi stopped hiding it, "I'm sorry, Du Bo, this golden thread jade paperweight is an orphan. If I read it right, it should come from the same source as Yuma."

"Yuma? Yuma ?!" Shopkeeper Du was breathing a lot faster.

The original genuine Yuma paperweight was collected by the founding emperor of Zhao State after many times, and then given to the prince. After the prince ascended the throne, the Yuma paperweight was renamed Yuma paperweight, and the craftsman engraved a rice-grain-sized 'prosperity' on the bottom of the paperweight. After that, it has been kept in the private treasury by the emperor.

Paperweight is an important tool in the study, in addition to pen, ink, paper and inkstone. It was invented more than 600 years ago in the Qi Dynasty. It was invented by the emperor at that time and rewarded to ministers, and then it has been handed down to this day. It has become a study room. The 'Little Five Treasures', known as the elegant play.

The Royal Horse Paperweight was given to Wang Yan, the minister of the time, by Emperor Qi. Since the Qi Dynasty only existed for 23 years, Wang Yan's official career was not smooth, and the Wang family was also torn apart, causing the Royal Horse Paperweight to wander.

The meaning of the same source is that the golden silk jade paperweight was also from the period of Emperor Qi, and then rewarded to the minister, which means that this paperweight is as valuable as the Royal Horse Paperweight!

But how much did they sell for?

Three thousand taels of silver?

Shopkeeper Du felt that his evil fire was rising from the bottom up, and the fire was burning.

But no, they Bao Yixuan never do such treacherous and unscrupulous things, and it is really not uncommon for them to go wrong. No one can guarantee that they are foolproof.

"Du Bo, I'm sorry, I couldn't sell fake products to customers at that time..." Gu Beizhi was also embarrassed. He knew it was fake and sold it to customers. He really couldn't do it.

Shopkeeper Du touched his chest and said, "Okay, you go down first. Think about how to stop the appraisal in the past few days."

"Understood, Du Bo, I'm sorry, I'll go first." Gu Beizhi It was a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't help it.

Shopkeeper Du didn't say a word. After a while, Shopkeeper Du stood at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, "Jin Dacheng, Wang Shaoye! Come here!"

The guy on the first floor who was cleaning the museum shelf almost fell, and stood still in panic. When Jin and Wang went upstairs, they were still a little frightened. They approached Gu Beizhi and asked, "Brother Gu, what's wrong with the shopkeeper? He's so angry."

Gu Beizhi shook his head and said nothing.

The guy didn't ask any further, just looked up at the second floor and whispered to Gu Beizhi, "Brother Gu, this is the first time I've seen shopkeeper Du speak in such a loud voice. It seems that Brother Ding is right, our shopkeeper is right. His temper is violent." Gu Beizhi

smiled, "Really? I think the shopkeeper has a good temper, and usually speaks in a friendly manner."

"Hey, Brother Ding said, that's our work. If something goes wrong, try it, the shopkeeper will scold you." The man approached him and whispered gossip, "I heard that Master Wang was scolded and cried before, and the boss scolded half of it. I drank three pots of tea!"

"This is the first time I've heard of it. It seems that I have to be more careful in the future and try not to make mistakes." Gu Beizhi agreed.

The guy nodded, "No."

While talking, he didn't stop at work. He had to clean the two museum shelves in front of him before lunch. This is also Bao Yixuan's rule. If it doesn't show up for three days, it will be covered with a layer of dust in a few days, and it will be dirty and unsightly.
