That evening, Deputy Director Qin Yong invited Dong Xuebin to dinner in the private room of Huiyang Restaurant.
Dong Xuebin didn't know much about Qin Yong's background. He only knew that he was a cadre who had been appointed by the Provincial Public Security Department. He was in charge of the patrol police brigade and the traffic police brigade. He had a heavy responsibility and was ranked higher than the party committee. , on the surface, he is a very capable young cadre and very motivated. He always seems to want to achieve something. This eagerness to make contributions and prove himself seems to be much heavier than Dong Xuebin. He is a practical person. , Generally speaking, Dong Xuebin has a good impression of him, and Qin Yong is the county bureau leader who is closest in age to him, and he also talks more speculatively among people of the same age.
"Brother Dong, today's meal is for you to celebrate your success." I can't do it without wine. ", "Oh, I'm really bad at drinking. "This is the truth.
"Then open a bottle of Beijing wine. You Beijing people are used to drinking this, right? The alcohol content is not high."
When all the dishes were served, the waiter filled up the wine for them. Dong Xuebin looked at the three ounces of white wine in the cup with a little dizziness, picked up the cup with complaint, and gave him a toast. "Director Qin, I know you "I'm definitely not a light drinker." I'm not lying to you. To tell the truth, "I only drink two or three ounces. Our National Security Bureau had regulations at the time not to drink excessively." So I haven't drank much. "Qin Yong didn't care at all." "Actually, I don't drink well either. Come on, let's do whatever we want." After taking a sip, Qin Yong smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Dong is not married yet?" "
Dong Xuebin said: "Well," I haven't found the right one yet. "
"Haha, Yantai County can go beyond the realm of beauties." There are many police beauties in our county bureau. Brother Dong, don't you think about it? If that doesn't work, can I ask my spouse to recommend a few? "
"No, I think it's better to live alone.", "That's right, haha, marriage is a grave." It's not that Dong Xuebin doesn't want to get married, he also wants to get married as soon as possible so that his mother can have grandchildren, but Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan Things are still in a mess over there. Dong Xuebin wants to marry Aunt Xuan, but Aunt Ying has never given the right word. He also wants to marry Xie Huilan, but Sister Xie’s attitude is a problem. I’m afraid that Sister Xie’s family is also "I won't agree." So Dong Xuebin's relationship is really a mess, and after being tossed by such beautiful women as Xie Huilan and Cui Yunying, "Dong Xuebin's vision has reached a certain level. Not to mention the policewoman, even Hu Silian is so pretty. Even Dong Xuebin, who is a pretty good office director, doesn’t like her at all. Compared with Auntie Xie, “Which woman dares to call herself beautiful? There is a huge gap!”
"Come" Director Dong, I respect you. "
After getting down from the grassroots level, Dong Xuebin was prepared to be drunk. He knew that the way of communication here was like this. After one or two, Dong Xuebin was a little dizzy. After swallowing two or two, Dong Xuebin was very dizzy. After drinking three ounces of wine, Dong Xuebin couldn't drink anymore." He covered his head in a daze, his eyelids drooping.
Qin Yong believed Dong Xuebin's words and stopped toasting him, but chatted with him about things in the county bureau.
Dong Xuebin fainted, but his mind was still relatively clear." He listened carefully with his ears raised.
I don’t know whether Qin Yong really drank too much or he did it on purpose.” Qin Yong used the influence of alcohol to tell Dong Xuebin about many relationships and things in the county bureau that were not visible on the surface. For example, Hu Yiguo was extremely passionate about power. For example, he had a close relationship with Hu Yiguo. The good deputy director Zhao Jinsong is very lustful and has always had thoughts about office director Hu Silian. For example, deputy director Gong Zongwen, who always follows Director Liang's footsteps, is very low-key and has no idea of advancement. He just wants to stay in this position until he retires, etc. . Thanks to Qin Yong, Dong Xuebin has a better understanding of the county bureau leaders." Of course, Dong Xuebin will not believe everything, and many things need to be confirmed with his own eyes.
After leaving the restaurant, Qin Yong laughed and started to use Dong Xuebin's words, jokingly asking him if he had a great background, "How else could he become the deputy director at such a young age?" Dong Xuebin suddenly became more awake, and even asked him what background he could have. ah. In fact, Dong Xuebin does not have a background, and Xie Huilan does, but that is his background and has little to do with him.
Seeing that he couldn't tell anything, Qin Yong didn't say much, but talked about something else.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when I returned to the county bureau dormitory.
As soon as Dong Xuebin entered the room, he lay down on his bed and rubbed his head until he felt dizzy.
Ring ring ring, the phone rang, Dong Xuebin didn’t even look at it, he picked up the phone and listened, "Hello?" "
There was a pause on the other end, and then Cui Yundong's sweet and soft voice came, "Have you been drinking?"
Dong Xuebin snorted in admiration. "Khan, can you hear a word I just said?" "
Huo Yunying smiled gently, "Auntie knows you better than you know yourself. I know your voice when you are about to go to sleep, your tone of voice when you wake up, and your tone after drinking." "Are you having a social event today?" Drink less alcohol from now on. "That stuff is not good for your health." Do you understand? " Dong Xuebin said yes, "...do you miss me? "
"Bah, you don't speak in a serious manner. Are you looking for a beating?"
"If you don't want me, why don't you call me? You just show off."
"Go to hell, I have something serious to do with you." Cui Yunying said angrily: "Auntie has already started the auction company." On the expert side, I contacted two of them through friends, and the recruitment of employees is almost done. The office location has also been confirmed. The only trouble now is the first batch of auction items. Although many people have contacted me and expressed their willingness to auction, I asked an expert to look at the items. They are all average. This generally does not refer to suede items. It’s just that things are of little value, such as a small bowl from a folk kiln.” The calligraphy of a third-rate painter is nothing particularly eye-catching. ", "Then let's look for it again." You can also pay for it."
"Auntie thinks so too. The first auction must be launched to create some momentum. But the problem now is that we have spent so much money on running a company, including "a year's rent for the office space" and the rental of the hotel venue. After paying for advertising and so on, there isn’t much left.”
Dong Xuebin thought about it, "What grade should the main auction item be?"
"This is a small auction, just have antiques worth hundreds of thousands or nearly one million." Dong Xuebin sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyebrows and thought for a while "... Well, let me think about it. Method. "
"You want to pick up leaks? But your county has too few resources in this area, right?"
"Let's see and then talk." Aunt Xuan, just wait for my news. "
In addition to his own career, Dong Xuebin is now most concerned about the development of the company. All his savings have been invested in it. If the first auction does not go well, it will be too difficult to get up again. This is related to his future. A happy life cannot have any mistakes.
After washing his face and sobering up, Dong Xuebin took his bag and went out to find an antique shop.
Yantai County is no better than a cultural center like Beijing. "Antique shops are very scarce, and there are even less gambling stones." In addition, it is already past seven o'clock, and many shops that should be closed are also closed. Dong Xuebin is surrounded by the most prosperous I searched around the county center plaza and asked many people, but in the end I couldn’t even see the shadow of the antique shop. Just as Dong Xuebin was walking down the street depressedly, two people suddenly came over on bicycles. It was Hu Silian.
"Hey, Director Dong?" Hu Silian pressed the brake of the electric bicycle and got out of the driveway: "What a coincidence?" "
Dong Xuebin and his family met the man next to Hu Silian. "Director Hu went shopping with his wife?" "
Hu Silian is not wearing a police uniform today." Instead, she is wearing a sparkling skirt. "Haha, no, my wife's unit organized an event and we went dancing." Well, it's in the ballroom opposite the square. Director Dong, "What are you doing? Want to go shopping? ," Hu Silian's lover also got out of the car at this time. He heard his wife talk about what happened at the county bureau during the day, so he was very polite to Dong Xuebin.
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "I wanted to visit the antique store, but I didn't see it after looking for a long time." Hearing this, Hu Silian smiled slightly, "Director Dong also likes antiques?" Then I will go with you. "I remember there is a restaurant nearby. It should be open now." After saying that, Hu Silian turned to look at her husband, stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me." You go home first." Her lover He is an honest man. After listening to Hu Silian's words, he handed her the lady's handbag sitting on the chair." Then he said goodbye to Dong Xuebin with a silly smile, seemingly obeying Hu Silian's words.
Seeing this scene, Dong Xuebin was extremely emotional, saying that women who were officials were different. If this man had a lower status than a female official, it would be impossible for his family status to change. The Hu Silian family had to make Dong Xuebin think of himself and As for Xie Huilan, during the process of getting along with each other, didn't Xie Huilan always take the initiative strongly
"Brother Hu." Hu Silian's lover was also named Hu. Dong Xuebin said, "If you want to go back and it's okay, let's go together." It's inappropriate for me to disturb you two by coming here. "Haha." Dong Xuebin Xue Bin, who had sobered up slightly after drinking, knew that if he was shopping alone with Hu Silian, some gossip would inevitably spread if someone saw him. He was new here, so he had to pay attention to this aspect.
Hu Silian may have understood Dong Xuebin's concerns, so she nodded to her husband, and then the three of them walked towards the antique shop.
Although Dong Xuebin does not have the momentum and majesty of Xie Huilan and other leaders, he also has his shining point, that is, Dong Xuebin is more respectful to people and has no airs. Her goodwill increased greatly, and Hu Silian felt very comfortable seeing that Director Xiao Dong could respect her lover so much.
Baoxuange, an antique shop specializing in porcelain, calligraphy and painting.
As soon as he entered the store, Dong Xuebin locked his eyes on the pile of porcelain in the west cabinet. Yes, Dong Xuebin doesn’t know anything about calligraphy and painting. His goal is porcelain. That time he and Xie Huilan broke a small bowl in Liulichang and identified the authenticity of the porcelain from the fracture. This matter gave Dong Xuebin a taste of the sweetness. At this time, he There are seven times B. K is with me, and if it works well, he might be able to pick up the leaks like last time. Of course, Dong Xuebin didn't hold out much hope. Firstly, there may not be any missed treasures in this kind of small shop, and secondly, Dong Xuebin Xue Bin has not seen too many cross-sections of porcelain, and even if it is real, he might not be able to tell." So I just came here with the mentality of trying my luck.
"Director Dong, do you want to see paintings or porcelain?" Hu Silian asked.
"I prefer porcelain."
"Haha, me too." I often watch some antique collection programs on TV. "My favorite is Yuan Qinghua."
"Yeah" I also like Yuan Qinghua. "It's worth hundreds of millions, who doesn't like it.
Hu Silian's way of dealing with things has always been meticulous. Seeing Dong Xuebin looking at the bottles and jars absently, she said nothing. She took her father-in-law to look at the porcelain in another cabinet and did not disturb Director Dong again.
The store owner came over at this time. "What do you guys want to see?" ", Dong Xuebin pointed to the cabinet. "How to sell these?", "Oh," the jars from this private kiln are five thousand, the small bowls from this official kiln are thirty thousand, and the Pengzhou kiln is also thirty thousand..." Dong Xuebin must You have to know the price first. Otherwise, if the Dong family sells it for hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, even if you know it is real, you won't be able to pick it up. Fortunately, the items are not expensive, and the boss himself must know that it is a magic item.
Then, Dong Xuebin began to search for it.
"It took about ten minutes." Dong Xuebin finally selected three pieces of porcelain that he thought were very similar to the real ones. "Huh!" Let's start.
With a click, Dong Xuebin raised his hand and threw a piece of Longquan kiln porcelain in the cabinet to the ground. Then he picked up one of the porcelain pieces and looked at it quickly.
The boss immediately became angry, "What are you doing!" Hu Silian and Brother Hu were also stunned at the same time, "Director Dong, what are you..." Dong Xuebin ignored them. Looking at the tile, he felt that it didn't look real. , he quickly stood up, grabbed a Yuezhou kiln, threw it on the cement floor, and continued to analyze. The boss was anxious, and stepped forward to pull Dong Xuebin, and punched him. Hu Silian thought that Director Dong might have drunk too much. , but as a subordinate, how could he just watch Director Dong being beaten, so he hurriedly backed off his husband. Seeing this, Brother Hu quickly went up and stopped the store owner.
Dong Xuebin also finished reading the porcelain piece at this time, shook his head, and broke the third porcelain.
This one also doesn't look like the real thing.
Soon, he muttered silently: "Baa one minute!"
Time retreats!
The antique shop returned to silence. Hu Silian and Brother Hu were discussing a small porcelain bowl in a low voice. The shop owner smiled and recommended a piece of blue and white porcelain to Dong Xuebin.
After Dong Xuebin dealt with him twice, he picked through a pile of bottles and jars, and finally selected three porcelains.
Click! Dong Xuebin threw it on the ground and repeated his previous work!
Not true!
Not true!
It still doesn’t look real!
More than half an hour later, Dong Xuebin had already used Bak for six minutes and now only had one minute left in his hand!
Hu Silian actually bought a small blue and white bowl over there. It was not expensive. It cost more than a thousand yuan. "Director Dong," which one do you like?"
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "I haven't found anything I like yet."
Hu Silian pointed to a colorful cup on the counter, "Actually, I think this is pretty good." "
Dong Xuebin dropped that cup just now, and the cross-section didn’t look like the real thing. Alas, "Six minutes of Baa were wasted like this, and there is no gain at all." It seems that the quality of the collection in this antique shop is not good. Compared with the capital, not one of the ten pieces of porcelain in Jiangyi is authentic. "This is called What's going on? We still have the last minute of Bak, why don't we waste it on this
Dong Xuebin picked up a Guanyin absently, hesitating in his heart.
Seeing that Director Dong had not moved for a long time, Hu Silian thought that he had taken a liking to this Guanyin porcelain, so she laughed and said, "Do you want to invite a Guanyin home?" "
Brother Hu took a look and reminded: "This is not an antique, it is a modern handicraft.
Hu Silian frowned and glanced at her husband, "Director Dong still doesn't know this is a handicraft? I want you to tell me!"
Brother Hu huffed and stopped talking.
Of course Dong Xuebin knows that this Guanyin can be sold in any shopping mall, and the value will not exceed two hundred yuan." His eye for antiques is much better than that of Hu Silian and his wife. The reason why he takes this Guanyin to look at is that Dong Xuebin is thinking about something. Of course It’s impossible to really fall in love with this kind of modern handicraft. Oh, forget it. “No matter what you drop, it’s probably not going to be genuine.” Don’t waste BVCk in vain. With the decision made, Dong Xuebin put the Guanyin back in its place, “… , go, go back. ", he took back his hand and was about to turn around" but his hand accidentally touched the base of Guanyin!
Dong Xuebin was also drunk, and his control over his body was greatly reduced. When he reacted, Guanyin had already fallen from the cabinet!
Hu Silian sighed and quickly reached out to pick it up.
But it was still a step too late. There was a crisp click and the porcelain Guanyin fell to the ground!
"You..." The boss glared at Dong Xuebin.
Dong Xuebin thought to himself that it was really unlucky. Seeing the shop owner staring, he took out his wallet and prepared to compensate others. However, when he caught a glimpse of the broken Guanyin from the corner of his eye, Dong Xuebin suddenly froze and blinked. Blinking his eyes, he wondered if the alcohol had made his eyesight hard, but when Hu Silian and Brother Hu looked at the ground, they were both stunned. Dong Xuebin knew that he had not seen it wrong. Stunned, he stepped forward and pushed the store owner to squat down and writhe in the movie! What happened
The boss also saw it at this moment, "dumbed down in disbelief" and took a breath, "This is..." Dong Xuebin had no time to think too much and hurriedly read "BAXk" for a minute!
The scene flashed before my eyes!
"Do you want to invite Guanyin home?" Hu Silian looked at Dong Xuebin with a smile.
Brother Hu said: "This is not an antique" but a modern handicraft. "
Hu Silian glared at her husband, "... Director Dong still doesn't know this is a handicraft?" I want you to say it! "
Time has gone back! !
After regaining consciousness, Dong Xuebin swayed, hurriedly tightened his grip on the Guanyin in his hand, exhaled, and then suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to the shop owner, "How do you sell this Guanyin?"
The shop owner looked at him. This thing was asked by a friend of his to sell in the shop a few months ago. "The shop owner knew that this thing was not valuable," but because of his friend's face, he still didn't have the nerve to refuse. "He just put it in the shop." It's on display here." No one has even asked in the past few months. The store owner really didn't think that such a handicraft would be sold, so he said: "If you really want it, I'll give you five hundred." "
Without thinking, Dong Xuebin asked for five hundred from his wallet and gave it to him.
The store owner was shocked, "I didn't expect him to give the money so happily. Is this person sick? If you go to the mall to buy it, you can get it for one hundred yuan!"
Hu Silian was also slightly startled. Seeing that her husband was hesitant to speak, she pulled her husband's arm and shook her head gently. They had reminded Director Dong once just now. Since Director Dong still wanted to spend money, then It’s hard for them to persuade you anymore, and it’s not beautiful if you talk too much.
Dong Xuebin knew what they were thinking, and he didn't know that this Guanyin was worthless.
Returning to the work dormitory, Dong Xuebin closed the door and finally smiled.
He carefully placed the Guanyin on the table, then went to the drawer and took out a screwdriver. He rolled up his sleeves and sat on the sofa. He turned the Guanyin over in one hand and stabbed the putty under the porcelain with the screwdriver in the other." With a "click", "two clicks", three clicks, and "four clicks", a hole was suddenly opened in the base. After the fragments fell off, a few wads of paper were exposed at the opening. Dong Xuebin reached out and gently pulled out the paper filled in the Guanyin. Come out and slowly put it on the table.
Turning over these white papers, an exquisite and simple jade Buddha suddenly showed its sharpness!
It’s Hetian jade!
Hotan mutton fat white jade! !
Dong Xuebin smiled. He didn't know who hid the Hetian jade hair in the Guanyin and sealed it with putty, but now, the main lot of his company's first auction was finally done!
Dong Xuebin immediately called Aunt Xuan... and got the stuff. "
Aunt Xuan on the other end didn't think about it for a moment, "What did you get?", "The main item of our first auction is a piece of jade." Only then did Yun Dong react, and her voice paused for several seconds. , seems to be speechless" "... What kind of jade? What era? "
Dong Xuebin said confidently: "I'm sure the quality of the jade is the most precious mutton-fat white jade in Hetian jade. As for the age, it should be hundreds of years old. I don't know the details. You can take it back and ask an expert to appraise it. The price" Even if it's not a million, it's no problem if it's a few hundred thousand." "...Xiao Bin, you... I'm so jealous of you."
"What are you trying to convince me of?", "What are you trying to convince? How long has it been since my aunt called you? And you missed it again? You can't rob a bank as fast as you!", "Haha, it's trivial" "It's trivial" I'm lucky this time. Well, how can I give you the stuff?" "I just asked a friend to pick up an expert in your provincial capital this morning. She hasn't come back yet. She is probably on her way back to Beijing. So" I asked her. Let’s go to Yantai County to find you. "
"Do you trust me? This Yu Mu is not cheap."
"It's Xiao Tao'er. It turned out that she had been with me for a long time when she was in the newspaper office." Now she has resigned and came to help me. She is trustworthy. "
"Okay, then give me her phone number and I'll contact her." About nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Taoer rushed to a teahouse not far from Dong Xuebin's dormitory community.
Dong Xuebin handed her the wrapped jade oath, and then smiled and said: "Remember to ask Director Yun to notify me when the auction starts. I will rush back when I have time."
With this mutton-fat jade hairpin, it should attract a lot of attention on the day of the auction!
