Chapter 672-673 Bronze Lord (Upper, Lower)

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with your phone? I can't get through all the time?"

Zhuang Rui came out of the door of the courtyard, and the golden pupil bar kept calling Ouyang Jun, but the other party's phone kept prompting to turn off the phone. It was not until he was about to reach Pan's home that Ouyang Jun finally turned it on.

"Nonsense, I was busy just now. Can I turn it on?"

Ouyang Jun is puzzled. Usually, to be honest with Xiaobai, his daughter-in-law may not have a good tone. Just now, he whispered slowly to let himself help Zhuang Rui do things well. It's true to do things by himself, but it's that kind of "thing".

"What? Are you really at Brother Bai's?

Zhuang Rui was speechless when he heard the words, and then said, "I told my sister-in-law, you go to Brother Bai's place to help me with antiques. Well, it's up to you. Fourth brother, I can't get back a few antiques. I won't care about your shit next time..."

"All right, it's just to take some broken antiques. I'll bring you some later..."

Ouyang Jun replied impatiently and hung up the phone. Bai Feng asked him to contact the real estate company these days. Isn't it easy to ask for something? However, Ouyang Jun will not open his mouth directly. The Dengzhuang Rui Museum opened and let Bai Feng donate it by himself.

Zhuang Rui shook his head, parked the car in the yard, got out of the car and walked to his store.

It's already afternoon, but the bustling crowd in Panjiayuan has not decreased at all. It seems to be a scenic spot in Beijing. People come here not only for Taobao, but also to feel the rich cultural atmosphere here.

After squeezing along the wall for a long time, Zhuang Rui came to "Xian Rui Zhai". What his boss did was probably also the only part of Pan Jiayuan. I don't think there are many people who often hang out in Pan's home.

"Brother Zhuang, you're here..."

The monkey's eyes were sharp, and he saw Zhuang Rui at a glance, and quickly greeted him. The big bear was indeed much more stable. He nodded to Zhuang Rui, but he didn't come over and was still greeting the guests who wanted to buy things.

As for Zhao Hanxuan, he was not in the store this time. As long as Master Ge was busy in the corner of engraving, the other two clerks were also greeting guests.

"Monkey, I asked you to run more and learn more, but I didn't ask you to pull objects to the store. Don't you know that bronze is controlled by the state?"

Zhuang Rui stared at the monkey when he entered the door. Those who do business are always unwilling to deal with trouble. If those bronzes are really national first-class cultural relics. If you buy it yourself, the sentence will be light for three or five years.

Although there are many boutique bronzes in many private collections in China, they are all traded in private. Who has ever seen bronzes belonging to first-class cultural relics in the domestic auction?

In the bronze grading before the Han Dynasty, most of them were graded as national first-class cultural relics. This is strictly forbidden for private trading. If you don't want to hand it over to the country, you can only stay at home as an heirloom. The current cultural relics market has not yet opened the sale of bronze ware.

And according to national regulations, no matter what level of cultural relics you belong to, the newly unearthed objects are also strictly prohibited from trading. If you are not careful, you may get into trouble.

Zhuang Rui knew such a thing. Once a Tibetan friend from Hebei brought a few pieces of bronze objects and went to Beijing to participate in a repair course on the restoration of bronze objects. During the class, he repaired the fragments he brought with him.

However, when he went back, this man was unlucky. When he got off the train, the routine investigation was found out, and he couldn't tell the legal way of this thing. He was unjustly detained for 15 days.

It's not that Zhuang Rui can't buy bronzes, but he can't buy it in this store, because if that thing is true, the way to come is not very appropriate. Maybe it's just "unearthed". In case of anything in the future, it will definitely be investigated.

"Brother Zhuang, I... Didn't I bring it to you to see? I don't know if it's true or not..."

The monkey, who was full of excitement, was dumbfounded when he heard Zhuang Rui's words. Qiqi Ai couldn't speak. He originally wanted to help Zhuang Ruitao get something good, but he didn't expect that the flatt was on the foot of the horse.

Monkey and Nobita were both born in the wild. When they were in the antique market in Pengcheng, they cheated and fooled around. Naturally, they didn't pay attention to the national laws.

Among other things, when the two brothers were in Pengcheng, they used to carry a shovel to dig the Han tomb. If it hadn't been for the low technical content, they would have been busy for a few days to help the farmer loosen the soil. Maybe they would have carried it in the prison.

When he arrived at Pan's home, Daxiong was fine. He was busy learning about stationery with Zhao Hanxuan all day long, and the monkey was happy. Seeing the sky, he was hanging out in those old oil and became more slippery.

But it's okay that the monkey still has awe-inspiring people in his heart. At this moment, when he saw Zhuang Rui's face, he immediately became honest.

"Monkey, I asked you to go out to chat with those people who set up stalls. It's not for you to attract people to the store. Some things are private transactions. Put them on the surface, that is, make trouble, understand?"

Zhuang Rui sighed. The monkey looked shrewd, but his mind was still a little confused. He couldn't say that Zhuang Rui would mention a few more ideas.

Let the monkey out to learn these ways, that is, to prevent someone in the store from seeing through some situations when he and Zhao Hanxuan are away, so as not to be trapped by others.

Of course, good things can also be collected, but it must not involve "Xuan Ruizhai". Zhuang Rui asked himself that he was a serious and innocent businessman.

"Brother Zhuang, I understand. If this happens again in the future, I will call you directly..."

Zhuang Rui has made it so clear that if the monkey can't carry it clearly, he can buy a piece of tofu and die.

"Well, let's make an appointment to see something in the teahouse outside. You can book a private room..."

Zhuang Rui nodded and didn't say anything more. Since he came, he naturally had to see something. If he didn't come from the right way, he would not accept it at most. Look at the object, it's not against the law.

"Oh, Brother Zhuang, I'm going to do it..."

The monkey agreed and walked out of "Suan Rui Zhai" with his mobile phone to make a phone call.

"Master Ge, how's it going? Are you still used to it here?"

When Zhoucai Zhuang Rui entered the store, Master Ge had been busy, and he did not disturb him. Now when he saw Master Ge put down the carving knife in his hand, he quickly went up and said hello.

Master Ge took off his presbyopia and replied with a smile: ". Habit, habit, Xiaozhuang, I haven't seen you for a few days..." Master Ge used to set up a stall to engrave a seal on the street. He was the kind of pure craftsman. The wind and the sun are inevitable. Now sitting in the store, there are heating and air conditioning, which is the same as before.

"I stayed abroad for a few days, Master Ge, is your business okay?"

If an outsider comes to listen to the conversation between the two, the designated person will think that Master Ge is the owner of this store. Is there such a boss? In my own business, I went to ask how the part-time job is.

"Oced, why not, Xiaozhuang, I took this number last month..."

Master Ge knew that Zhuang Rui had to ask about the store at all. How much money he had taken last month, Zhuang Rui really didn't know. He stretched out a slap, opened his thumb and forefinger, and shook in front of Zhuang Rui.

"Eighty thousand?!"

Zhuang Rui was really shocked. What he gave at the beginning was a commission of 300 yuan per word, which was nearly 300 words. Calculated according to three words in a chapter, that is, there are 100

Multiple people. I chose to let Master Ge engrave the seal manually.

"Well, this is still because I'm too busy. Now there are still more than 200 people to engrave the seal. I guess it will be next month..."

Master Ge's face was full of smiles, and he could have this kind of income by engraving, which he had never dreamed of before.

"That's a good thing, haha, Master Ge, do you know less than 500 words now? What we earn is craft money..."

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard the words and couldn't help but feel a little complaent. It seems that his original decision was not wrong. Only the gimmick of this famous family's hand-carving can bring the store an income of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan every month.

"Xiaozhuang, I think this commission is a little too high. You see, or I'll take 300 in the store and I'll take 200..."

After Master Ge heard Zhuang Rui's words, he hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and said what he had thought about for a long time.

Although this man did not think that he had made more money, Master Ge suddenly had a monthly income of nearly 100,000 yuan when he was unemployed the previous month. The gap was a little big, and he was a little uneasy.

In addition, Master Ge also knows that he earns more than Zhuang Rui, that is to say, the clerk makes more money than the boss, which makes him a little nervous.

Zhuang Rui waved his hand with a smile and said, "Master Ge, don't say this in the future. You'd better take 300 and rely on your skills to eat. It's natural. Speaking of which, the store is also stained by you..."

"Master Ge, I said he won't agree. You can do it at ease..."

Before Zhuang Rui's words fell, Zhao Hanxuan walked into the store. Master Ge told him several times to lower the commission, but Zhao Hanxuan did not agree. First, this was settled by Zhuang Rui, and he had no right to change it. Second, in Zhao Hanxuan's opinion, Zhuang Rui was not short of these money.

Moreover, Master Ge's craftsmanship has indeed brought a lot of business to Xuan Ruizhai. Many elegant vassals, after engraving their seals here, also bought the pens and pens needed to write, write and paint in Xuan Ruizhai. In the past month, the sales of the four treasures of the study in the store have increased. A lot.

Chapter 672 Bronze Lord (Part 2)

Master Ge is a sincere man. After hearing Zhao Hanxuan's words, he still hesitated and said, "Isn't this... not good?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, Master Ge. In another few decades, maybe many people can't even engrave the seal. If you are free, take more monkeys and Nobita, and you can pass on this skill..."

Zhuang Rui waved his hand to interrupt Master Ge's words, and then said, "That's it. Don't mention it in the future, Lao Zhao, where did you go just now?"

Zhuang Rui's words had no intention of questioning. He did not regard Zhao Hanxuan as a part-time worker, but just asked casually.

"Go in and talk..."

Zhao Hanxuan saw that there were many guests in the store and pulled Zhuang Rui into the compartment o

"I went to several other stores and asked. During this period, there was a group of people who were handing bronzes, and depending on their origin, it was a bit like a "pit" object..."

Zhao Hanxuan's contact with monkeys is different. Most of the monkeys deal with those bosses who set up stalls, and Zhao Hanxuan met people who have shops in Panjiayuan. Naturally, the news he heard is also different.

And what he said about "pit", he means that the copperware has been buried in the ground for a long time, and the surface is caused by various chemical reactions. It naturally rusts layer by layer, forming a green, red, blue, purple, or both color. This kind of rust color is solid, and there is a natural sense of change. Players use "pits" to describe bronzes, which means that the bronzes have not been unearthed for a long time.

"Lao Zhao, are you sure?"

Zhuang Rui asked, to be honest, he really didn't believe Zhao Hanxuan's vision. This buddy could buy the tattered things of pig iron and copper as the bronze Bodhisattva of the Yongzheng Palace. It's really unbelievable.

"What's this?"

Zhao Hanxuan gave Zhuang Rui a blank look and said, "I know I don't know anything about bronzes, but Lao Xu's vision is good. He has also seen several objects, which he said..."

Lao Xu, who Zhao Hanxuan said, is an antique shop specializing in imitation of bronzes in Panjiayuan. The boss, Zhuang Rui, has seen it. He is an connocist, and the general tricks are not eye-catching.

Zhuang Rui pondered for a while and looked up and asked, "Lao Zhao, what do you think? If it's real, do you want to eat it?"

Zhao Hanxuan shook his head and said, "If it's true, don't touch my golden pupil bar. I saw a few things, and their shapes are all from the same as before Qin. Boss, you don't need these money. Why are you causing this trouble..."

Zhao Hanxuan's concerns are reasonable. Although many rich collectors in China collect bronzes that are prohibited from trading, most of them are purchased through foreign auctions or domestic intermediaries. It's like an antique black market and so on, it's difficult for the police to investigate them.

However, although the cargo holder Zhao Hanxuan saw was an ancestral object, Zhao Hanxuan was so far away that he could smell the earthy smell on this person. Zhao Hanxuan could guarantee the ticket. This man was definitely a good hand at digging graves.

"I'm not short of money, but I'm short of something..."

Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly when he heard the words. His museum can open in two months at most. Although there is a batch of porcelain now, he can exchange a batch of collections with the Jimei Museum in Paris in a few days, and in Zhuang Rui's collection, there are many valuable items that can be called orphan, but As far as a museum with the word "country" is concerned, these things are still a little less.

"Wor thing? I still need these things, but I can't do business openly. What's the use of coming here? Han Xuan was stunned for a moment. He thought that Zhuang Rui wanted to see this batch of objects, but he came to sell them.

"It's like this..."

Zhuang Rui is going to run a museum, but he just got up in the past few days. Even Ouyang Wan knew it yesterday. Of course, Zhao Hanxuan and others didn't understand it. So Zhuang Rui told this matter to the original.

Although these bronzes cannot be traded in the market, it is easy to whitewash them. As long as they are not targeted by the relevant departments of the state, Zhuang Rui has many ways to whitewash them. At most, it is troublesome for Ezkena to sign a donation agreement.

However, if this object is too obvious, Zhuang Rui doesn't dare to take it, so he wants to look at things first.

"Damn, boss, what you said is true?"

Even Zhao Hanxuan has been in the antique industry for 20 or 30 years, and was also shocked by what Zhuang Rui said. It is not that there is no private museum in Beijing, but it is definitely the only one that can be as smooth as he did.

Zhuang Rui nodded and said, "Of course it's true. Now the museum site is being renovated and installed with an anti-theft system, and it can be opened in a month or two at most..."

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Zhao Hanxuan thought for a moment and said, "Boss, this bronze business is actually nothing in Panjiayuan, but if you like it, don't say anything. I'll find a middleman to buy it, so that it's more stable..."

Although it is illegal to buy and sell bronzeware privately, the law does not blame the public. There are many private transactions. Whoever is caught can only say that it is bad. There are "pits" objects in several bronzes that Zhao Hanxuan bought when he was set up before.

When Zhuang Rui was talking to Zhao Hanxuan, the monkey knocked on the door and walked into the cubicle and said, "Brother Zhuang, Brother Zhao, I got in touch with that man and said that I would meet him in the teahouse in half an hour. Shall we go there now?"

Zhuang Rui nodded and said, "Ole OK, Lao Zhao, let's go and have a look if you have nothing to do. Hey, monkey, where does that man live? Can you get there in half an hour?

"Brother Zhuang, how can you tell us where you live in this industry? But that person has often wandered around Pan's home during this period. Maybe he is there now..."

The monkey's words made Zhuang Rui laugh dumb. His question was white enough. If the group of people saw everyone and told them where to live, I'm afraid that the thing would not be sold, and they would be squatting in prison.

"Daxiong, look at the store. I'll take Monkey and Manager Zhao out..."

Before going out, Zhuang Rui said hello to Daxiong.

I don't know if it's because he had a girlfriend. After Daxiong came to Beijing, he did things more and more steadily. Zhao Hanxuan was also very satisfied with him. Sometimes things such as goods were handled by Daxiong alone.

"Boss, what's the name of your museum? At that time, some calligraphy and painting cultural relics will be printed with the seal of our Xuan Ruizhai, which can also be advertised..."

The teahouse is at the exit of Panjiayuan, which is not very far. Several people are chatting while walking.

"It's called the China Dingguang Museum, which takes the name of the "Dingguang Sword" I got. As for those calligraphy and paintings covered with An Ruizhai bell seal, forget it..."

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the flow of people from Pan's home was much less. In a few minutes, the three of them came to the door of the teahouse.

Zhuang Rui and others who entered the teahouse did not find it. Just as they entered the door, a pair of eyes looked at the three people at the corner of the teahouse, and then looked around.

"I said monkey, these people are not reliable. What time is it? Why don't they come? Zhuang Rui and others called a private room and asked the golden pupil to put snacks and tea in their hands. It took forty or fifty minutes. The monkey still didn't show up. Zhuang Rui couldn't help but be a little anxious. He was supposed Now it seems that I can't catch up again. Qin Xuanbing called just now to ask o

"Brother Zhuang, I'll call again to urge..."

The monkey took out the phone and called out. He had already called two times in a row just now. The other party said that he would arrive soon, and the monkey also hated it. Didn't he lose face in front of Zhuang Rui?

"Coming, Brother Zhuang, I went out to bring them in... After the monkey put down the phone, he said o

"Brother Zhuang, this is Brother Ren. He said that there are several ancestral things."

After less than two minutes, the monkey pushed the door of the private room open. Behind him was a small man, only more than 1.5 meters. Suddenly, Zhuang Rui thought it was a child coming in.

However, if you look closely at this man's eyebrows, he should be in his thirties, and he is very thin. As Zhao Hanxuan said, there is a smell of dirt all over his body. Just looking at this figure, he is definitely a good person to dig graves.

"One big brother, this is my boss. Let's show him this first." The monkey introduced Zhuang Rui to him again. Of course, he didn't say anything.

"I don't know if the old things handed down from home are valuable. Let's take a look at the boss first..."

Although he knew that no one would believe it, the little man said something and then put a round cake box in his hand on the table.

After opening the box, Zhuang Rui saw that there were two bronze knights in the box.

The two bronze knights are exactly the same size, both of which are round. There is a flow trough for pouring wine at the front end of the mouth on one side, a pointed one side, a column between the flow trough and the mouth, a handle on the side of the abdomen, and three cone-shaped long feet below as the support point

On the two bronze lords, there are animal patterns. In the middle of the animal patterns, they are engraved with pattern decorations, which are very exquisite and tedious. Although the artifacts are not big, Zhuang Rui can recognize them at a glance. This should be the ceremonial ware of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

In ancient times, its function is the current wine glass, but in ancient times, it was often sacrificed to the sky. This jue is also divided into two kinds of drinking and ceremonial utensils. The wine ware is used by daily people, and the ceremonial ceremonial utensils are used for the sky. Its exquisiteness and value are

Zhuang Rui put on gloves, picked up a Bronze Lord and played with it. The aura in his eyes inadvertently swam around the inside of Bronze Lord, which was indeed authentic.

After putting down the Bronze Lord, Zhuang Rui smiled at the little man and said, "Ha ha, this thing should be unearthed for no more than ten years, right?"
