Grand Collection

"I'm not crazy," Kong Xin said calmly, "I'm just an antique dealer who went to the countryside to shovel land. It doesn't matter to me how the sea is stolen. I will leave after collecting a few antiques. Who will arrest me and go to jail? Besides, no I'll take it, so why did you fly all the way here, Boss Luo?"

Luo Zigeng paused, and when he learned that he was coming to the coast, he could figure out what he was planning with his toes, and immediately chased after him. The plane and the car didn't rest for a moment, but he didn't expect to be able to stop him from buying hailao. Huo, furious, with a headache, he gritted his molars and stared at Kong Xin, "Don't worry about what I'm here for, anyway, I'm not here to collect antiques, I advise you not to play tricks on me, you'll be caught by the police, No one will listen to your sophistry, you are stolen goods!" "What stolen goods!" Kong Xin was annoyed by him, "Look, there are so many antique dealers in the fishing village, are they all going to jail? You are paranoid, Don't know how to adapt, don't use your set of rules to ask others."

Luo Zigeng knows that the law has no binding force on him. This guy has always been free-spirited and lawless. What's more, he doesn't have strong funds to compete with big collectors at auctions, so he will pay more attention to those who take advantage of legal loopholes. Small business.

"You are a dignified Young Master Kong, if you are arrested by the police, do you know what the consequences will be? Don't you want your reputation?"

Kong Xin seemed to be stabbed suddenly, and sneered, "I am no longer the eldest son of the Kong family, have you forgotten?"

Luo Zigeng felt a pain in his heart, and Xue Linlin's memory was brought up. He would never forget the kiss that made him feel so painful. He gritted his teeth, "Thank you for reminding me."

The two faced each other in the small room, neither was talking to each other, the sea breeze was blowing in through the window, and the air was moist and slightly salty from the tide.

After a long time, Kong Xin sighed softly and softened his tone, "Zigeng, I know you care about me, I'm actually very happy, really happy..."

Luo Zigeng turned his eyes away and didn't look at him. He had no resistance to this man, especially at night when the lights were ambiguous. He was afraid that if he softened his heart, he would fall at his feet again and let him play tricks and deceive him.

He, Luo Zigeng, has always been proud and arrogant. Even if he loses his fortune, he will not allow himself to admit defeat. He is a man who will not fail, but once he meets Kong Xin, his momentum immediately loses three points, and he loses in a mess.

He said coldly, "I care about you. No matter what the purpose is, you extended a helping hand in my most difficult time. I will always remember this kindness. That's why I stop you. I don't want you to dirty your face." Hands, piracy is the same as tomb robbery, it is illegal, you come to collect salvaged goods, it is no different from you to collect newly unearthed stolen goods, it is a crime.”

"I'm not afraid of crime," Kong said. "The reason why I don't accept new goods is because they have just been stolen from the tomb, and I don't like the smell of corpses that haven't been cleaned up. Salted goods don't have this smell. Besides, What I received was fisherman's unintentional salvage from the sea, what can the police do to me?"

"Excessive words!" Luo Zigeng said angrily, "Do you really think so? You just want to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune. The cost of collecting goods from the sea is low. These fishermen can get rid of it for tens of thousands of dollars, and they don't care about it." You change hands and sell for tens or millions. You want to make a comeback, prove yourself to everyone, and slap Uncle Kong hard. Do you really not know that you are breaking the law? The state stipulates that any All the cultural relics salvaged belong to the state, those fishermen are stealing state property, your behavior is selling stolen goods, if you are caught by the police, the confiscation of cultural relics is a trivial matter, let Kong Xin lose his reputation and see what you do!"

Kong Xin was poked into a sore foot by him, and he held his breath hard in his heart. He was so dizzy that he sat at the table and poured a cup of herbal tea with his head tilted up, refusing to speak.

Luo Zigeng glanced at the residual tea and frowned, "You drink herbal tea again. Drinking cold tea can easily lead to kidney stones. How many times have I told you!"

Kong Xin was taken aback for a moment, his eyes were slightly hot, "You..."

Luo Zigeng said bluntly, "How many things did you receive today?"

"that's it."

"I'll hire a fisherman to help you transfer it to other antique dealers," Luo Zigeng said, "You go back to Nanjing tomorrow, don't get involved in the affairs here."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out the door.

"You are not allowed to go!" Kong Xin grabbed his wrist, threw himself on him, and hugged him tightly from behind, "You are not allowed to go! You still care about me so much, you...why do you want me so cruelly? Huh? Zigeng?"

Luo Zigeng took a breath calmly, "I just don't want to see you degenerate. Even if you are expelled from the house, you are still Uncle Kong's son. He has helped me a lot, and I don't want to see him sad."

Kong Xin froze, "Nonsense, do you think I'm fucking stupid?"

"Maybe." Luo Zigeng slowly pulled his wrist away with both hands, "Anyway, either you are stupid or I am stupid. I have been stupid for such a long time, and this time is not bad."

As he spoke, he pushed him hard, then retreated to the door and opened the door, "I can't monitor you all the time. If you have to accept it, I can't stop it. I just hope you can rein in the precipice and do it yourself."

After speaking, he turned and left the room.

The door of the room was closed behind, and then there was a bang, apparently kicked by Kong Xin inside the door, Luo Zigeng leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette tremblingly with his little finger, lit it, and inhaled slowly, hot air rolled into his lungs In, to calm his uncontrollable emotions.

Kong Xin is a romantic and ruthless person who is good at rhetoric, and he almost fell into his gentle trap again. He looked up at the ceiling and slowly exhaled a puff of light smoke.

——The deeply rooted self insisted on pretending to be indifferent, while he swayed from side to side with an affectionate face of a saint of love. This world is really ambiguous and black and white are reversed, which is extremely ridiculous.

The cigarette case was empty, Luo Zigeng smashed the empty cigarette case, threw it into the trash can, and walked out of the hotel to buy cigarettes.

At night, the fishing village was silent, only the sound of the tide hitting the embankment from the pier, and the small personal supermarket was about to close. Luo Zigeng bought a pack of cigarettes, stood on the side of the road and opened them, popped one into his mouth, and was about to light it , his eyes suddenly caught sight of a figure walking by the side of the road, feeling slightly familiar.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he watched the man pass by calmly, and was startled when he passed by, "Kang Chunjie?"

The man turned his head suddenly, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, eyes full of lethal beauty, whoever it was if it wasn't Kang Chunjie, the other party was also taken aback, "Are you... Luo Zigeng?"

In the next second, he quickly put the cap of the sleeveless sweater on his head, glanced left and right, and lowered his voice, "Kong Yi is here too?"

"No," Luo Zigeng looked at him, feeling that he hadn't changed much except that he was much thinner than five years ago, "Why are you here?"

Knowing that Kong Yi was not there, Kang Chunjie relaxed, "Of course I have my own business."

Luo Zigeng looked at the moonlight, "Outside is not a place to talk, go to the hotel, I have booked a room."

Kang Chunjie stood still, arms crossed and arrogantly staring at him, "You want to have a room with me? I'm sorry, you're not my type."

"Sorry for thinking too much," Luo Zigeng said with a blank expression, "I know you like Kong Yi's slapstick, please go to the hotel because we two foreigners standing on the side of the road chatting will cause unnecessary misunderstandings , you also know that now is a special period, and one thing more is worse than one thing less."

So Kang Chunjie obediently followed Luo Zigeng to the hotel. After entering the door, Luo Zigeng turned on the electric kettle to boil water, and threw the remote control to him, "Watch TV by yourself."

"Don't I have a TV in my own room?" Kang Chunjie occupied the sofa under the air conditioner when he entered the door, sat down with a golden knife, just like the Ninth Five Lord sitting on his dragon chair, and said coldly, "You bring me here , what do you want to tell me?"

"I want to know why you came here," Luo Zigeng didn't go around in circles.

Kang Chunjie's face turned cold, "No comment."

"..." Luo Zigeng paused, "Did you misunderstand me? Five years ago, you were not so uncooperative."

"That was five years ago," Kang Chunjie said, "I don't have a good opinion of the Kong family, including Kong Xin and you."

"My surname is not Kong."

Kang Chunjie raised his chin with contempt on his face, "But you are Kong Xin's lackey."

Luo Zigeng laughed angrily at him, "This statement is new, but your news is a bit too late. I am no longer his lackey. I have left the teacher, and I have fallen out with Kong Xin. Now you can accept me as a member of your camp." Is there anyone?"

Kang Chunjie was stunned for a second, "Do you know the purpose of my coming here?"

"Pan Nanhua, right?" Luo Zigeng said firmly, "As far as I know, he has already arrived in the fishing village, and you can imitate official kiln porcelain from any period. Fishing for goods is illegal anyway, and no one is more noble than the other.”

"I didn't break the law!" Kang Chunjie said righteously, "I have a certificate issued by the state as a folk craftsman, and any piece of porcelain that comes out of my hands is regarded as an antique handicraft, not an antique! I don't admit that they are Antiques! If there is a violation of law and discipline, then someone else is breaking the law by taking my porcelain!"

Luo Zigeng raised his hand, "That's not the point, the point is what are you investigating Pan Nanhua? Do you have any other helpers? What evidence do you already have?"

Kang Chunjie turned his head and said bluntly, "No."

"what?"

"I didn't find anything, he's too cunning." Kang Chunjie had no expression on his face, but hatred burst out in his eyes, "I don't have any helpers, but I know he's pretending to be real. disturb the market!"

"I know this too. You made a firewood kiln piercing ear bottle for him, right? Then it appeared at the Hong Kong auction, with 8 million Hong Kong dollars. Kang Chunjie, you are worthy of being the official kiln king, and you have created a miracle."

Kang Chunjie's eyes flashed with a contradictory brilliance of being conceited and unwilling to admit it. He tightly grasped the armrest of the sofa with his left hand, "I have been to the Shanghai preview, and I made 100% of it. Damn it, Pan Nanhua...I actually gave it away for nothing. Give him 8 million!"

"Of course, the fact is that there is not that much. The commission has to be deducted, and I heard from Uncle Xiang that he has given you 5 million research funds before," Luo Zigeng said with a faint smile, "You just gave him more than [-] million. "

Handing in a pot of hot oil that had been prepared immediately made Kang Chunjie's anger even more intense, but Luo Zigeng felt that he was about to split apart because he insisted on maintaining the illusion of calmness on the surface.

"Besides firewood kilns, there are others."

"what?"

"In addition to the firewood kiln, I also made other porcelain for him," Kang Chunjie said with a blank expression, "In four years, he took a total of 73 antique handicrafts from me, from secret color porcelain, to five famous kilns, to Ming and Qing Dynasties. Guanyao, I have an account book."

Luo Zigeng immediately felt a chill down his spine, he knew Kang Chunjie's craftsmanship, 73 pieces of antique handicrafts, one foot across the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, after the rain, the sky was clear and the clouds broke, and he won the emerald green of the thousand peaks, and the redness of the Jun kiln was priceless. Chuzuzulang does not flow...Every piece has been a priceless treasure since ancient times. Pan Nanhua actually took away as many as 73 pieces in one go. They are top imitations that no one can distinguish except Kang Chunjie himself. If all of them enter the market , the consequences are too dire.

"Pan's will hold a charity auction soon, these imitations..."

Kang Chunjie nodded, "I also wanted to expose him on the spot, but then I would not be able to guarantee my own safety. I have died once, so I regret my life."

"I also don't support you breaking it down on the spot," Luo Zigeng said. "With his despicableness, if he wants to lose his reputation, he will definitely drag you down."

Kang Chunjie said, "That's why I plan to come to Yin with him. Pan Nanhua hired divers to salvage the porcelain on the sunken ship in the Golden Reef Forest. I'm going to collect evidence and report him."

"He's old and cunning, you'd better be careful, since he's stealing..." Luo Zigeng thought for a moment, "I'll handle this matter, even if it doesn't hurt his vitality, it's okay to let him lose some money, Ah Chun, Where have you been living all this time?"

"Nanjing."

"...I know it's Nanjing. Since you want to monitor Pan Nanhua, it must be in Nanjing. Where is it in Nanjing?" Luo Zigeng wondered in his heart. Kong Yi sent people from all over the world to find someone, but he didn't expect him to hide under his nose.

"In a neighborhood," Kang Chunjie said coldly, "I won't tell you the exact address."

Luo Zigeng smiled, "Don't worry, I will report to Kong Yi. I don't have much contact with the Kong family. The reason why I ask you is because I think you don't have the conditions to burn kilns in Nanjing. So what do you live on?"

Kang Chunjie looked at him blankly, "Life? Do you mean money? I am not short of money, nor is my son. The Kang family has enough money for us to spend in our next life."

"..." Luo Zigeng's smile froze, "Actually... let me just say it straight, I have opened an antique shop called Shangguxuan, and I want to invite you to be a guest expert, how about it?"

Kang Chunjie immediately understood what he meant, and refused straight away, "Impossible, I know you are envious of my appreciation, but it is impossible for me to put down my identity and work for others, but you don't have to be too sad, I can cooperate with you and appreciate ancient times." Xuan, right, I want to buy a share."

"Ok?"

"I want to be the boss too."

Luo Zigeng laughed, "There's nothing wrong with this. Let's talk about the specific shares after you have a certain understanding of the size of the store. I hope we can continue to cooperate, whether it's dealing with antiques or Pan Nanhua."

"There's also the Kong family," Kang Chunjie added, "Did you open Guxuan to compete with Gujin Pavilion for business? Very good, let's kill them together."

Luo Zigeng: "..."
