Chapter 785-786 Prodigal Son (Upper, Lower)

Oh? Speaking of... For this Mr. Xu, Zhuang Rui is full of curiosity. The antique Tang Sancai with the word "Xu" is the only antique fake that Zhuang Rui can't find fault. If it is not for the word in it, Zhuang Rui does not dare to break it hastely, and can only use the method of carbon fourteen detection to break its authenticity.

"Mr. Zhuang, you absolutely can't imagine that this guy surnamed Xu is a prodigal son..."

Li Dali smiled and then said, "Mr. Zhuang, the person you are looking for is Xu Guoqing. He is 40 years old this year. His ancestral home is from Handan County, Hebei Province. In the mid-1960s, Xu Guoqing, who was born, followed his parents to Gaoyi County, Shijiazhuang to settle down...

In the 1980s, our country began to encourage private entrepreneurship. Xu Guoqing's father had the craft of firing ceramics, so he opened a ceramic factory. By the end of the 1980s, Xu Guoqing's father, who became a famous household of tens of millions of yuan in Shijiazhuang, died of illness in 1990. This factory It was also handed over to Xu Guoqing.

It's just that this man doesn't do anything. First, he doesn't go out to run business. Second, regardless of the production in the factory, as soon as he took over the factory, he built a research institute and played with ancient porcelain in it all day long.

It is said that it is nothing to study ancient porcelain, but Xu Guoqing is different. He actually smashed several Tang Sancai objects bought from abroad with a lot of money. Many people know that this has become a joke.

In the 1980s, there were relatively few private enterprises, and Xu Guoqing's factories had no one to compete without him." So the business was very good, but this person did not know how to maintain the relationship. After the 1990s, all kinds of private factories emerged one after another, and his ceramic factory was soon eliminated... In just more than ten years, Xu There are many bad words about the corruption of the industry, and the factory also exists in name." Mr. Zhuang, do you think this man is a prodigal son?

"Hehe, this person is a little interesting..."

Zhuang Rui shook his head with a smile. From these Tang Sancai burned by Xu Guoqing, Zhuang Rui could see his superb skills and understand why he broke the real three-color porcelain. However, Li Dali was right to describe it. This man is really a real prodigal son.

You know, in the 1980s, if you could have tens of millions of dollars, it would be a great thing that the gold content of billionaires is much higher than that of billionaires now.

Now the richest man in Taiwan, the boss Guo, who claims to be worth 10 billion yuan, was only worth a million in the late 1980s, with less than 100 employees.

If Xu Guoqing is a little business-minded, not to mention that he has become a billionaire now, but at least he can also occupy a place in the ceramic industry, Li Dali's comment on the three words "prodigal son" is not right at all.

However, this person also made Zhuang Rui even more curious. He didn't take care of tens of millions of business and specialized in Tang Sancai. Zhuang Rui couldn't figure out what the idea this man was doing. If he wanted to say that he made fakes and sold fakes, he wouldn't even close the factory?

"At the way, Mr. Zhuang" Originally, I asked this buddy to go to Beijing without you, but he was about to sell the factory. He couldn't open a house for a while, so I asked you to go this time"

Li Dali suddenly remembered this matter and quickly solved the way for Zhuang Rui. Xu Guoqing was in Mr. Li's heart, but he couldn't even compare with Zhuang Rui's little finger. It was reasonable that he didn't call him to Beijing to see Zhuang Rui's family.

Zhuang Rui waved his hand with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, it's not far from home to have a look... Liu Zhuang Rui also wants to see what kind of environment this Master Xu is in." Can he imitate the Tang Sancai utensils that even many experts can't see?

You should know that the firing process of imitation ancient ceramics is not only completely in accordance with the process of ancient ceramics, but also the ancient firing formula, that is, in terms of the material and the temperature at the time of firing, it is not bad at all. Sometimes one more or less than one degree will make the previous work of a kiln porcelain be abandoned.

Like the ancient famous kiln ruins unearthed in modern times, a large number of broken ceramics are often unearthed. Those things are not that intact porcelain has been broken after so many years, but after firing, they are broken by the kiln workers and used in ancient times to burn ceramic utensils, which are extremely exquisite and slightly flawed. It must be broken and discarded. Sometimes more than a dozen kilns may not be able to produce a boutique, so the fragments on the site are all from this.

It has been more than 1,000 years since the Tang Dynasty, and the secret recipe of Tang Sancai has long disappeared in the long river of history. Zhuang Rui wondered how Xu Guoqing restored this process.

Shijiazhuang is located in the hinterland of the North China Plain. It is mostly the core city of the third pole of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan area. It is an important central city of medicine and textile industry in China, one of the important biological industry bases of modern service industry, and an important commercial port in North China.

After more than three hours of highway, Zhuang Rui and others came to the boundary of Shijiazhuang, but it was still more than 50 kilometers away from Gaoyi County. Li Dali originally wanted to entertain Zhuang Rui in Shijiazhuang, but Zhuang Rui refused and drove directly to Gaoyi.

At almost 12 o'clock at noon, the two cars drove back and forth out of the Beijing-Shenzhen Expressway. At the intersection of the highway, there was a Feng waiting there. Li Dali said hello and signaled him to stop the car.

"Lao Yu, you didn't do it well this time..."

After Li Dali got out of the car, he pounded the shoulder of a middle-aged man who got out of the car.

The man suffered from Li Dali with a bitter face and frowned and said, "Hey, Boss Li, I'm also entrusted by my friends. I really can't help it. "You're here today, I'll be the host. Let's go to dinner first." We have something to talk about"

"Well, there are distinguished guests today" Lao Yu, forget about that matter, but if this guest is not treated well, our friendship for more than ten years will be gone...,..."

Li Dali himself is a fisherman, and the black market auction he runs can't be seen on the table. He is also used to this matter, and he does not blame Lao Yu for asking him to help sell quality products.

"Ouch, Mr. Li, Brother Li, just put your heart in your stomach. Come to my place. If you can't drink well, you can't come. I'll tell you that later, I've arranged several young girls to drink with you. I think that everything is fine." Lao Yu suddenly smiled when he saw Li Dali's face It looks very slutty.

Lao Yu and Li Dali have known each other for more than ten years and know that he likes this tune. Yesterday, he contacted several nightclubs and found a few good ladies to come, ready to serve Mr. Li comfortably today.

"What"

As soon as Li Dali heard this, he was so scared that he almost jumped up. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "Call quickly to remove it. Don't do this.

Li Dali went to Beijing, especially after staying in the Beijing suburban club for a few days, his family didn't care much about the rouge powder in these small places.

According to Mr. Li's idea, based on Zhuang Rui's performance in the clubhouse, don't you play any star you want to play?

"No? I've given all the money...

When Lao Yu heard Li Dali's words, he was stunned. The old man at home usually likes this most. When the big city was severely cracked down, he often went here to have fun. Why is it so abnormal today?

Besides, Lao Yu called eight young ladies today, and each of them paid four yuan. It's a pity.

"The one sitting in the car. Those who play are all big stars. They don't like these. Don't be self-defeating. Well, I won't come tonight. Let's arrange the evening...,..."

Mr. Li is not a good bird. After hearing Lao Yu's words, he immediately changed his mind and arranged the important work of accompanying the young lady until the evening.

"All right, drive the way, let those young ladies leave the house, remember, don't persuade them to drink later, that person is not the same as us...," Li Dali focused on Lao Yu's words.

You should know that friends come to eat in the north. If you don't drink, you can't drink. If you drink too much, you must drink too much. If you don't get drunk, don't be hospitable. Li Dali is afraid that he will talk back and make Zhuang Rui angry.

"I see, Mr. Ji, don't worry..., this..."

When Lao Yu saw Li Dali's words in a row, he was explaining the importance of the people in the car. He couldn't help but be more serious. He glanced at Zhuang Rui's Audi car. Seeing that Zhuang Rui didn't mean to get out of the car, he turned to his car.

After returning to Zhuang Rui's car, Li Dali said, "Mr. Zhuang, Xu Guoqing's factory is not far from the county. Let's go to dinner first. It's time for dinner..."

"Cre" Mr. Li, please arrange it. Just see Xu Guoqing in the afternoon..."

Zhuang Rui nodded and agreed. He had some porridge in the morning, and now he was a little embarrassed. After several cars drove into Gaoyi County, he stopped at the door of a restaurant that looked a little classy.

"Lao Yu, this is Mr. Zhuang from Beijing, Mr. Zhuang, this is my old friend Yu Zhengjun, and this time the goods are also flowing out of his hands,..."

After getting out of the car, Li Dali introduced each other to the people. Yu Zhengjun was also an extremely discerning person. After a few words with Zhuang Rui, he led him to a box in the hotel.

"Mr. Zhuang, these are all the specialties of our Hebei. Shijiazhuang's braised chicken, Ma's old chicken braised chicken, Bohai prawns, Qinhuangdao sea crabs, steam pot game eight immortals. Come on, Mr. Zhuang, how about trying it?"

Yu Zhengjun had ordered the dishes for a long time. Originally, there should have been a few ladies on this table to cheer up, but now they have all retreated. He always remembered Li Dali's words and did not dare to persuade him to drink.

The dishes on the table are all good, especially the steam pot game Eight Immortals. When the lid of the steam pot was lifted, the room was suddenly full of strange fragrance, and everyone in the room smelled it.

"This dish is good, Yu boss has a heart..."

Zhuang Rui didn't know the dirty things between Lao Yu and Li Dali. He picked up chopsticks and wild animals, and immediately ate a lot of praise.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhuang, eat more. This restaurant is called Baxian Hall, which is a time-honored brand." The main ingredients of this dish are roe deer meat, pheasant, Shanwei, Diyang, Shafeng chicken, and winter bamboo shoots. Mushrooms and green plums are steamed by putting these raw materials into a steam pot. This dish was cooked by the boss himself..."

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Lao Yu quickly said to introduce the dishes on the table to Zhuang Rui. He didn't drink, but the guests were happy for a meal.

Chapter 286 Prodigal Son (Part 2)

After a meal, Zhuang Rui knows more about Xu Guoqing. He dares to be the boss. He used to be the neighbor of Xu Guoqing's family, and the two can be regarded as young.

The Xu family's fortune in the 1980s led many local people to make a fortune. Although Xu Guoqing took over the factory and did a mess, many people started to do ceramic factories. Boss Yu started transportation in the 1980s and now has a large-scale fleet.

As for the inverted ancient player's sideline of the boss, this matter still needs to be started from Xu Guoqing.

Although Xu Guoqing's business is not doing well, his relationship with Yu Zhengjun has always been good. The ceramic objects made by Xu Guoqing's family in the early 1990s were all given away casually, and Yu Zhengjun was among the people who gave them.

Yu Zhengjun was originally transported by his own car. He traveled to many places in the south and north, and also made a lot of friends. Once a southern customer came to his house and saw Tang Sancai in the living room. He was immediately fascinated. Yu Zhengjun knew in his heart whether this thing was worth it or not, and now he took things casually It was given to that customer.

That is, in the mouth of customers from the south, Boss Yu knew what antiques were, and later, when he went out of town, he took care of it. In the 1990s, antiques were not so hot, and he really found a lot of good things.

Zhengjun's idea is relatively correct. Although he has made money in antiques, transportation has been running all the time, and a transportation company has been set up, and the business scale is expanding step by step. In this small county, he is also a successful person with tens of millions of dollars.

After so many years, Yu Zhengjun has also exercised a little vision. Later, he did not know Li Dali. He has accumulated a lot of real and fake objects from all over the country to Li Dali, which is half a person in the antique circle.

After telling Zhuang Rui about these things, Yu Zhengjun said to Zhuang Rui solemnly, "Boss Zhuang, although my Xu brother is a little woody, I am definitely not bad-minded. This time I want to help him make some money. I made an idea. Don't make it difficult for the country..."

Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard the words and waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Boss Yu, you misunderstood. I'm here." I just want to know Mr. Xu. There is no other meaning. Do you think Mr. Xu can't turn over the capital now?"

When Zhuang Rui mentioned this face, Yu's boss's face suddenly showed sadness. He sighed and said, "Alas, he can't talk about turnover. The whole mountain is exhausted. His daughter-in-law ran back to her mother's house. I paid for the child's college money..."

"How could this happen? Does Mr. Xu still have a little family background?

Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment. Do you dare that this master has come to the point of exhaustion?

Yu Zhengjun sighed and said, "Lao Xu can't run a business. In the past few years, he was cheated out of more than 3 million yuan for three or four years. There is no output value. At that time, I have to raise a group of people...

In addition, he often spends money to buy some raw materials for cooking porcelain, and even the house he built has been sold. Now the workers have run away. He moved to the factory by himself. I don't understand. Although this thing is really done, he can't sell anything in China. Why is he obsessed with this?

"Mr. Zhuang, don't be a bad person. Qingguo and I were young. We knew each other when we wore crotch pants, but I can't help him in this matter. This is a bottomless hole, and I can't fill this hole."

After hearing Yu Zhengjun's explanation, Zhuang Rui knew that the things made by Xu Guoqing were never sold. Whoever he liked it would be given to him. I don't know how much has flowed out over the years.

But the cost of making this object is extremely high. The cost of almost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan for each one, not to mention those who are useless. In this way, he can't stand it no matter how rich he is.

Xu Guoqing's wife used to support his hobby, but when she looked at the trouser pocket, it was getting stingling day by day. She persuaded Xu Guoqing several times not to listen, and simply ran back to her mother's home.

Now Xu Guoqing's factory can't even afford electricity, and he also has a little aftertaste. He picked up dozens of high-quality ceramics fired over the years and entrusted Yu Zhengjun to take action.

Yu Zhengjun met today's customer some time ago and took a fancy to Xu Guoqing's factory, but Xu Guoqing said that he was unwilling to sell anything, and finally broke up unhappily. It was because of this that Xu Guoqing took out dozens of his own treasures and gave them to Yu Zhengjun for sale.

However, Xu Guoqing's original intention was to sell these things as modern handicrafts. He did not expect that Yu Zhengjun would transfer his hand to Li Dali. If it hadn't fallen into Zhuang Rui's hands, these objects might really have been auctioned out in the black market.

"Mr. Zhuang, this is Lao Xu's factory. Now Yan Shao is staring at this land..."

After dinner, under the leadership of Yu Zhengjun, a group of people drove to Xu Guoqing's ceramic factory. His factory was not far from the county seat. After driving for about 20 minutes, he could see the wall of the factory, but the area was not urine. It seems that Xu Guoqing's factory was really exhausted, outside the wall. The lime and cement on the surface have fallen off to reveal the red bricks from the 1980s inside, and the root of the wall is full of weeds, which looks like a fallen scene.

In those years, Xu Guoqing's father chose this place to build a factory because it was surrounded by crops and the land was cheap, but now there are no residential areas and no streets. It seems a little out of place for this factory to be placed here.

"Lao Xu, Lao Xu, open the door quickly..."

After parking the car at the door of the factory, Yu Zhengjun smashed the rusty door and suddenly heard a few screams from the door, but after hearing Yu Zhengjun's voice, it immediately turned into a deep whimper.

"This guy can't even afford to raise his structure, alas..."

Yu Zhengjun carried the leftovers he had just packed in his hand and signaled Zhuang Rui to understand what Boss Yu had just finished eating and asked the waiter to pack.

"This man knows what he is doing again, Boss Zhuang, don't care." I called him right away"

After waiting for five or six minutes at the door, there was no movement in front of the door. Yu Zhengjun quickly picked up his mobile phone and called out. After the phone was connected, the buddy roared directly and asked Xu Guoqing to open the door quickly.

"Lao Yu, didn't you just bring food for rhubarb and throw it in through the door? Why did you have to ask me to come here?"

After Xu Guoqing's slow phone call, he still waited for another seven or eight minutes before he heard the footsteps and voices coming from the door.

With the sound of the iron door that makes people's teeth sour, a middle-aged man with long hair and a sloppy beard appeared in front of several people.

This middle-aged man's hair is very distinctive. Looking at it, it is divided into three colors: white, red and blue. Zhuang Rui took a closer look and saw that it was a contaminated color material. It seems that this person should be busy with something.

However, this image is not as good as the master in Zhuang Rui's mind. It's far from each other. The whole is a decadent old boy. This image doesn't need to be dressed up, and it's not as good as the hippies in the 1970s and 1980s in the United States.

The middle-aged man looked up at Zhuang Rui and others, turned his head to Yu Zhengjun and said, "Lao Yu, didn't I tell you that the factory doesn't sell but rents, and my laboratory can't move." Also, if you want to rent, you don't rent it to the Japanese... The current porcelain-making process in Little Japan was still snatched from us in those years..."

Zhuang Rui and others were amused by Xu Guoqing when they heard the words. "Dare, this is still a patriotic and angry youth.

"Lao Xu, you, it's normal to burn porcelain." Can it be normal at ordinary times?"

Yu Zhengjun was also a little helpless about his old friend. After pouring the food in his hand into the basin at the door, he said, "Lao Xu, I mentioned to you. This is Mr. Zhuang, who specially came from Beijing. Why did you let us go in and sit...,"

"Mr. Zhuang? Mr. Zhuang, "I don't know him?"

Xu Guoqing obviously forgot what Lao Yu had mentioned to him, but although this man was obsessed with ceramics, he still understood the most basic human feelings, and now let several people in.

The yard of this factory is still quite large, but in addition to the lime paved roads, the road is full of weeds. A workshop facing the gate is locked, and I don't know how long it has not started.

"I can only sit in the laboratory here. Let's do it in the laboratory..."

Xu Guoqing took everyone around the workshop. Zhuang Rui immediately saw a big smoke white. Although it was not very high, it was very thick. Below the smoke was the laboratory mentioned by Xu Guoqing.

"Oh, I remember, Lao Yu, this Zhuang is not the person you told me that my three-color pottery farticles are fake, isn't it?"

Just after opening the door of the laboratory, Xu Guoqing seemed to be possessed by a kid. He suddenly turned around and shocked the people behind him.

"Yes, Mr. Zhuang just saw your three-color pottery farticles, and then came to see you. I said you asked us to go in first and pour a glass of water, okay?"

Yu Zhengjun and Xu Guoqing were very familiar with each other. Knowing that this man was a little nagful, he immediately pushed him away and let Zhuang Rui and others in.
