Chapter 603 Professor Zhao Lao
In addition, antiques are profitable, and the buyer's personal vision is tested. If you don't have enough cultural heritage to buy this thing, you are a typical boy with money. A mine owner from the northwest once came to Yanjing to buy antiques. He bought more than 20 items in one afternoon and spent 300 million yuan. Later, he sent it to the treasure appraisal program for appraisal. All of them were fakes, which became a sensational joke.
There are also some experts with unique vision. After buying antiques for hundreds or thousands, they can sell them for millions. This kind of overnight wealth is often what ordinary people desire the most. Therefore, the antique market has been full of prosperity all year round.
It was only two hundred meters away from the community to here. After Huang Tianba arrived, he went straight to the antique shops that the old lady mentioned, and soon found Professor Zhao in one of the antique shops called Qise.
When he passed by, Professor Zhao was holding a magnifying glass and looking at a pair of calligraphy and paintings. For a while, the old professor's body had recovered, with a rosy complexion and bright eyes. He was the kind of healthy person among the old man.
Huang Tianba hurried over and shouted, "Old man."
Professor Zhao heard someone calling his name, turned his head and found that it was Huang Tianba. He immediately said with joy and shouted, "Oh, isn't this Xiao Huang? You have come to see the antiques too? It's such a coincidence. Have you eaten? If you don't have any food, I'll go to my house to eat. I haven't had time to thank you for your last incident."
The old man asked a series of questions as soon as he opened his mouth and began to sigh again.
Huang Tianba quickly interrupted the old man and said, "I just went to your house to visit you. You are not at home. Grandma said I'm here to find you."
"No way, it's too boring to be stuck at home. Come out and have some fun and see ancient paintings or something." Professor Zhao smiled and held the relatively old magnifying glass and stuffed it into the pocket of his shirt that had been washed into a white hair. Then he grabbed Huang Tianba's arm and said, "Let's go to my house for dinner first. I'm going to have a few drinks with you today. Thank you for your life-saving grace."
"Okay, let's have a few drinks with the old man." Huang Tianba never refused to drink. He laughed and said to Professor Zhao and was about to go out when a vase fell to the ground and smashed it into seven or eight pieces.
The crisp sound made everyone in the store look at the broken vase. A clerk in black rushed out and saw this scene, his face changed drastically, shouting: "Oh my God, who threw the Sanlu Plum Vase?"
"It was this old man who encountered it." Someone immediately pointed at Professor Zhao and said.
Professor Zhao was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "I didn't hit the bottle. I just wiped the cabinet when I turned around. How could I get the bottle off?"
"You didn't do it? Why did that person slander you?" The clerk in black rushed to Professor Zhao's face angrily, grabbed Professor Zhao's arm, and said, "Old thing, these three deer plum vases are worth 500,000 yuan. If you don't lose money today, you won't want to leave the store."
"Speak well if you have something to do, don't curse people." Huang Tianba couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the clerk coming up.
He still respects traditional old scholars like Professor Zhao. These old people devoted their lives to the country, have knowledge and status, but live a poor life. They do not seek fame, wealth and wealth throughout their lives but only do their part for the country. Such talents are the backbone of a nation.
"What's wrong with scolding him? I don't admit it if I break the antiques in our store. Can I even give him such an old scoundrel if I don't scold me?" The black-clad clerk sneered, pointed to a steel pipe placed in the corner, and said, "Did you see it? It's still covered with blood. The person who came to the store to make trouble has not been discharged from the hospital yet. If you don't give the money today, you two will be waiting to die."
Professor Zhao was also a scholar when he met this kind of person and was incomprehensible when he met a soldier. He was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at the other party and said, "Why are you like this? You didn't come up with evidence to prove that it was me. Why do you just threaten me like this? Are you a gangster?"
"Hey, what's wrong with me being a gangster in our store?" The black-clad clerk curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Don't be too slow. Everyone in the store just saw it. It was just you broke it. I'll give you half an hour to ask your family to raise money, otherwise I can ask you to ask for money from your house."
This guy's attitude was so arrogant. Huang Tianba glanced at him and there was a sign hanging on his chest with the words Manager Sun written on it. It seemed that this store was indeed his territory.
This is the first time that an old intellectual like Professor Zhao has encountered such a hooligan. He was so angry that he shouted: "Don't think I'll give you money. I didn't throw it. Besides, your Sanlu Plum Vase is worth at most 50,000 yuan. You are deliberately cheating people."
He is an archaeological expert and is naturally quite familiar with antiques. The other party's price is obviously extorting money.
Manager Sun didn't expect that this old guy was not afraid of him. He pushed Professor Zhao hard and shouted: "I said 500,000 is worth 500,000. What the hell are you? Are you qualified to bargain with me?"
Professor Zhao's health had not been recovering for a long time, but he almost fell down after being pushed like this. Huang Tianba quickly supported Professor Zhao, stared at Manager Sun and said coldly: "Is it a bit too much? Not to mention the price or something. If you want to prove that it was broken by Professor Zhao, you have to come up with evidence. What is the only evidence? Then I can prove that Professor Zhao is innocent."
"Evidence?" Hearing the words "evidence", Manager Sun laughed out loud, pointed at Huang Tianba and said, "Okay, since you kid want to deny, I'll let you see the evidence. Xiao Liu will make the surveillance video come out and let everyone see if they broke it."
A young man with acne-faced face immediately turned around and ran to get the computer. He quickly got the surveillance camera onto the laptop, and then handed it to Manager Sun with the laptop.
Manager Sun took the laptop and turned on the surveillance camera and handed it to Huang Tianba, saying, "Come on, if you are not blind, see if you have broken it."
Huang Tianba held the computer with a gloomy face and opened the video and took a look. In the video, Huang Tianba and Professor Zhao were shaking hands and joking. Then when they turned around and left, Professor Zhao did touch the cabinet, and then the vase rolled down and smashed it.
"What? Is there anything else to quibble?" Seeing Huang Tianba watching the video, Manager Sun asked with a sneer.
Professor Zhao's face turned pale and shook his head and said, "Impossible, this is really not something I bumped into. I just passed by the cabinet. It is impossible to gently wipe it and move the cabinet."
Huang Tianba just reached out and touched the cabinet, and then touched the cabinet next to it. After a little force, he noticed something was wrong. The cabinet that Professor Zhao just touched was extremely shaking, and it would move slightly with a touch.
However, in antique shops, such cabinets of poor quality are obviously not allowed to appear, because such cabinets will accidentally destroy the antiques on them, which means that a large amount of money will be lost at any time.
There is no doubt that this cabinet is a pit set by Manager Sun. Whoever jumps in will have to give him money.
"It's useless to say that these are. The video is here now. You either give money or wait for death. If it really doesn't work, you can also call the police and try it. The money will still be compensated. Your family may have something unexpected." Manager Sun picked up the steel pipe and pointed at Professor Zhao and threatened.
Professor Zhao's face turned red with anger. Just as he was about to take out his cell phone to call the police, Huang Tianba pulled Professor Zhao behind him, then looked at Manager Sun and said, "Let's do this, I am a professional antique restorationist. If I can help you repair this bottle as soon as I did, I will forget about this matter. If it doesn't work, I will pay you 300,000 immediately. What do you think?"
Now this kid is holding the evidence in his hand. Professor Zhao has been successfully hit by the car. There are many people watching him. It would be useless to beat the kid, so he can only find a way to solve the problem.
"Yes." Manager Sun glanced at the bottle that had been broken into seven or eight pieces, and sneered repeatedly: "But I only give you an hour. If you don't do it well, I will give you money immediately. Don't try to play tricks with me. I have many friends nearby."
