Chapter 679 Good Luck Comes (1)
"Bell, bell, bell..."
Pei Yue was processing a document, and immediately picked up the phone when he heard the sound, and laughed when he heard the sound: "Xu Datou, why did you call me all of a sudden?"
The man named Xu Datou raised his voice and said: "Pei Yue, you are really mean, you like those pots and jars, tell me, I have a lot of them here. Why don't you tell me, just let Chen Houzi get it for you !"
Xu Datou, Chen Houzi, and Pei Yue used to be in the same class. At that time, we were all new recruits, and we quickly became one. Both later changed careers due to injuries, but have kept in touch over the years.
Pei Yue said with a smile: "Chen Houzi is relatively free, so I asked him to help collect these things. If you are not afraid of trouble, I will naturally ask for it."
Xu Datou felt that this was not a problem at all, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll get you as much as you want. But these things are not edible or drinkable, and taking them back takes up space. What do you want them for?"
That bold voice came from the other end of the phone.
Pei Yue didn't find a reason, and said directly: "My partner likes these old things, and she has collected a lot here."
It’s okay to like old things, but it’s a lot of money to charge so much! Xu Datou asked: "Brother, although these things are not worth much, they are worth a lot if they are in large quantities!"
Pei Yue could hear his concerns. It was because he was afraid that he would make a mistake. He smiled and explained: "Don't worry about that, the money for collecting things is all earned by her writing books, and the source is legitimate."
With these words, Xu Datou felt relieved. As for why Tian Shao likes those pots and jars, he didn't ask about that, no one has any hobbies. Like him, he likes fishing and collecting stamps.
Xu Datou asked: "Are you only accepting jars?"
Under Tian Shao's popular science, Pei Yue now has a better understanding of antiques: "In addition to pottery, porcelain, and jade, ancient coins, seals, snuff bottles, embroidery, etc. can be used. The longer the age, the better. By the way, I The subject is very fond of calligraphy and painting, and if he comes across it, he will help us buy it."
When Xu Datou heard it, he knew it, and said to him: "There is a bad gambler on our street. His ancestors were high-ranking officials. This guy told people that there are a lot of things in the cellar of his house, and he wants to sell them. In exchange for money. But those things look like scrap metal, no one wants them, if you like them, I can buy them for you.”
The more this kind of thing, the more likely it is genuine.
Pei Yue nodded and said: "Okay, I will send you a thousand dollars tomorrow. You can save the things after you buy them. I will send people to go to your place and bring them back at the end of October."
Xu Datou took a deep breath, and the first move was a thousand: "Brother Pei, how much money does your partner make a month?"
Pei Yue smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone above my partner's income knows it, and they can afford to investigate."
Without a visible income, how could he dare to collect old things in such a big way. Like before, people only accepted it secretly, and it was all small troubles.
Xu Datou just wanted to say something amazing: "You boy, you have found such a capable wife. I will go to Sijiu City with Chen Houzi some other day, so let us meet my younger siblings."
Two days later, Pei Yue received a call from Xu Datou and said in surprise: "You mean that family still has two paintings in their collection, and these two paintings are still works of famous masters?"
Xu Datou said: "Yes, these two paintings were placed on the wall of their house, and they were sealed at that time. Brother Pei, didn't you say that your partner likes calligraphy and painting? Do you want to send these two paintings to you now? past."
"Send it!"
Seeing that he didn't ask the price, Xu Datou took the initiative to say: "That pile of things cost one hundred and two, and these two paintings cost two hundred, so the total is three hundred and two."
This price is the real deal, and I didn't say a single cent.
Pei Yue hummed and said, "I give Chen Houzi's brother-in-law a salary of 60 a month, and I give your brother the same salary. In addition, if you get injured or other legitimate extra expenses, you will also be reimbursed. What do you think? "
Xu Datou was overjoyed, and said: "That will definitely work! My monthly salary is only fifty yuan, and you can reimburse him for injuries if you give him sixty yuan. If I don't go to work, I will go to work."
His brother does odd jobs when he doesn't have a job. He found someone to arrange for his younger sister, and he has no spare time to arrange for his younger brother. People in their twenties don't have serious jobs, and they can't even marry a wife. He is in a hurry. A few days ago, I had dinner with Chen Houzi and heard the news by accident, so he couldn't wait to call Pei Yue.
The salary is quite high, but it is also very hard to travel around to find out the news. Pei Yue said: "Then it's settled."
Xu Datou was overjoyed. Sixty a month, even if you only work for a year, you can earn 720 yuan. With this money, the younger brother can also marry a wife, and he can give his parents an explanation when he goes to Jiuquan in the future.
A week later, Pei Yue received two paintings from Xu Datou. Packed in a rectangular box, this long box is wrapped with several layers of oiled paper to prevent water seepage in rainy days. This is calligraphy and painting, and it will be useless if it gets wet.
Pei Yue didn't know calligraphy and painting either, so he disassembled and checked the two paintings and put them back if there was no problem. After work, I went to Beijing University to find Tian Shao, and handed these two paintings to her: "These two paintings were sealed in a box at the time, and I think they should be genuine."
Tian Shao opened it up and took a look. One was a landscape painting by an unknown painter; the other was called "Mountain Pavilion Enjoying the Coolness", signed by Zhou Chen.
Staring at the inscription, Tian Shao said: "If it's Zhou Chen's authentic work, then we'll make a lot of money."
"Who is Zhou Chen?"
Tian Shao explained: "Zhou Chen was a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty, and two of his disciples were also well-known in the painting circle. One is Qiu Ying, the other is Tang Yin, and Tang Yin is Tang Bohu."
She watched "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" several times, laughing every time.
Pei Yue had never heard of Tang Bohu, so he changed the subject and said, "These two paintings cost two hundred yuan, you can find an expert to appraise them to see if they are authentic."
"good."
Tian Shao took Pei Yue to find Zhang Han, gave her the two paintings and said, "Professor Zhang, my friend knew that I like calligraphy and painting, so he bought them for us. Professor Zhang, can you help us?" Can you tell if this is real?"
Zhang Han is studying antiquities, and his favorite is calligraphy and painting. As soon as he heard the identification of calligraphy and painting, he immediately found out the glasses. He first read "The Picture of Enjoying the Coolness in the Mountain Pavilion", and after some careful identification, he told the two that it was an authentic work.
