"Ah?" Tao Ming felt as if his brain was going to be burned into paste: "Is this... this the best?"

After saying that, he pointed to himself and those next to Zhou Zhi: "What about these two?"

"These two are just the same." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Including the bottom bracket, they are also the same."

After speaking, he poured the cup of tea in front of Manager Zhang into the trash can, revealing the pattern inside, and then placed the lid next to the tea bowl: "Qianlong official kiln enamel bowl with folded branches, peach, chrysanthemum, peony and pomegranate flower pattern, we want this."

"

Manager Zhang’s lips trembled again and again, but finally he stamped his foot: “Take it away!”

"Wait a minute!" Tao Ming on the side seemed to have discovered something: "Wait a minute! This thing can't be fake, right?"

"What?" Manager Zhang and Zhou Zhi were both shocked. They looked at each other and had the same idea in their minds. Could it be that this antique mallet saw something that we didn't see?

Just listen to Tao Ming say seriously: "Look at the elbow, is there anything wrong with this pattern?"

"What's the problem?"

"The peach blossoms, peonies, chrysanthemums, and pomegranates are not in the same season! Now they are all gathered together. This...is not normal?!"

"Hahahahaha..." Manager Zhang and Zhou Zhi couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"Why...did I...did I say something wrong?" Tao Ming muttered, guessing that he had made some kind of joke.

"Brother-in-law, this theme is a common theme on porcelain in the Qing Dynasty. Several flowers that do not appear in the same season are depicted blooming on a porcelain. This is actually based on the theme practice on brocades in the Song Dynasty. It is called '

Four Seasons'!"

However, Manager Zhang admitted his fault this time and agreed with Zhou Zhi to take away the enamel tureen, which actually made Zhou Zhi adjust his evaluation of him a little higher.

Qing Dynasty enamels from the third generation have become popular in Hong Kong. If you find a good buyer at auction, you may not be able to get a million dollars.

After all, the famous small bowl with spring swallows in the apricot forest that has repeatedly achieved great auction results overseas is made of enamel. It was sold for one million Hong Kong dollars in 1985, and will be sold for 150 million Hong Kong dollars in a dozen years.

9.8 billion, completely opening up the upper limit of enamel color.

Now the craftsmanship of this bowl and that bowl are at the same level. They are both from the imperial kiln, and the glaze is the same. Although there is no hype process like the small bowl of Xinglin Chunyan Picture, even if they follow the trend, just because they have one more lid than that bowl,

I'm afraid the values ​​​​will eventually be comparable.

Of course, the treatment of this thing is not so good in China now, and the market price has not yet risen. According to the current domestic comparison with overseas trends divided by ten, 80,000 to 100,000 is considered a reasonable price for people in the industry to communicate.

Even so, the advantage was a bit big. Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "It's just a joke with Manager Zhang. Let's do this. We won't be polite about the blue and white enamel bowl. But for this enamel covered bowl, please give Manager Zhang a price. If

If it's appropriate, let's take action."

Manager Zhang was completely convinced by this point. He knew why his nominal boss valued a teenager who had just graduated from high school so much. He smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, please don't slap me in the face. Today, Mr. Zhang is convinced. This price

, please come and open it, I will accept any number."

Zhou Zhi took out the checkbook: "Then let me write you a check for 100,000 yuan, but this time you have to issue an invoice for us?"

"Okay!" This tureen is considered a high-quality product from the Yuzhou Cultural Relics Store, but the price is actually not high in the industry. Mr. Xiao Zhou worked as a bachelor and left a little profit for himself. Manager Zhang couldn't help but secretly call it a fluke.

After a while, the invoice came out, but there were three invoices, including the Tongzhi opera blue and white plate from last time.

However, when putting things away, Tao Ming actually put away the two tureens that he and Zhou Zhi were drinking tea with, and prepared to take them away without ceremony.

Those two were imitations of modern craftsmanship and were worthless, so Manager Zhang just let him go without bothering to stop them.

After coming out of the cultural relics store, Zhou Zhi and Tao Ming got into the car, said goodbye to Manager Zhang who walked respectfully to the door, and then drove towards the third aunt's house.

Tao Ming finally took out his breath and shouted loudly: "It's too dark - your business is really too dark - a hundred times, a thousand times darker than our clothing business!"

After shouting, I felt a little comfortable: "But what you said is so right, elbow. It's true that snakes have their own way and cats have their own way. Insiders and outsiders are treated in two different ways! It's you guys.

The threshold for the industry is too high. I can see clearly today that it is really difficult to get into this door!"

Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Actually, this is not my profession. I am studying Chinese, and doing this can only be regarded as a hobby..."

"Don't!" Tao Ming shook his head: "You are an expert, an expert who even convinces the manager of the Yuzhou cultural relics store! If you are still an amateur, then your sister and I can only be regarded as pure illiterates!"

"By the way, brother-in-law, I was too embarrassed to ask just now, why did you collect those two bowls?" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "Those two imitation enamel things are repurposed crafts for earning foreign exchange."

"Anyway, I can't see the difference between the one you bought for 100,000 yuan." Tao Ming said with a smile: "I'm just angry that the general manager bullied me and took it home and put it in my study as a trophy! Oh, you elbow!

Do you think those two bowls... are the two most elegant things in my study?"

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Tao Ming's study, and said: "This kind of tureen does not have a bottom. Manager Zhang seemed to fool us before. Don't add a bottom when you take it back, otherwise it will look like a connoisseur.

It’s a joke instead.”

"I don't even understand what happened today. Didn't you say yesterday that the general manager of the provincial company asked him to bring us a big door opener? Why are you still so confused?"

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Don't be convinced. Nowadays, many local companies are independent contractors and are responsible for their own profits and losses. For the head office, there is a bit of a sense of 'following the instructions but not the propaganda'."

"This situation is actually not surprising, but I really have to remind Uncle Fei when I go back. Since you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses, you must also distinguish responsibilities and rights. Don't just watch them when they eat and drink soup, and then ask for it again when the trap is revealed.

It would be an unreasonable disaster if the superiors helped to settle the matter, or even got involved and shouldered a lot of joint and several responsibility."

In fact, this is also a current "strange status quo". In the process of initial marketization, the rights and responsibilities between the enterprise's headquarters and branches are not clear, management is unscientific, and the system is not standardized.

Phenomenon.

And the funniest thing is that these rebellious subordinates are often very capable, adaptable to market competition, and know what's going on. They often receive support and even protection from other local forces such as local governments, financial institutions, etc., and the superior agencies can manipulate them.

At the local level, only the poor power of appointment and dismissal of personnel is left.

If there are no replaceable talents and the headquarters relies mainly on local branches to attract money, it will often be manipulated in turn, and the only option is to turn a blind eye.

There is such a trend in Yuzhou cultural relics stores. Although they generally obey the greetings, they are still a little cautious. This matter has not been resolved yet. If I really want to give Fei Guan some advice, Zhou Zhi thinks that the responsibilities and powers should be clearly divided first.

Don't be implicated by Yuzhou. Protecting yourself is the best policy at the moment.
