Chapter High-priced consumption
Without waiting for Mr. Ge to refute, Bai Yu showed his move first and said:
"The well-known details have naturally been studied by imitators, but there are several very special and unknown color materials in Chenghua Doucai. Chenghua Official Kiln has made a lot of exploration in the refining and preparation of color materials. Some color materials are unprecedented. The brown color on this pair of cups is one of the experimental items, called 'Cai Zi', and its characteristic is that it is as color as helium, thick and light, and when touched in the hand, it feels like clay, and it has only appeared on Chenghua porcelain."
"Is that so? Let me check it." Mr. Yu half-believed and half-doubted.
Qi Kun smiled and said, "Xiaobai is right. There is indeed a kind of colored material called 'Cai Zi' in Chenghua porcelain. Both the refinement and formula have been lost."
"Well Minister Qi thinks the cup is genuine?" Wu Renyou asked overjoyed.
Qi Kun took the cup and turned it a few times and said, "In terms of painting skills, Chenghua Doucai uses flat coating instead of rendering. Chenghua craftsmen are willing to sprinkle the color when filling in the color, and the colored materials often overflow the outline of the pattern. However, the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty is normal and never dares to go beyond the pond..."
Mr. Yu shook his head and said, "Brother Qi is right, but the fakes in Jingdezhen have also figured out this detail and deliberately imitated them when imitating them, so we cannot judge the authenticity based on whether the colored material overflows the outline."
Bai Yu noticed that Mr. Yu never called "Minister Qi" but "Brother Qi", and this detail is worthy of intriguing.
Qi Kun smiled gently and said, "Mr. Yu, what I am talking about is not whether the colored material overflows, but that there are doubts about the grass leaf in the middle."
"Grass Leaves?" Mr. Yu took it over and looked confused.
Mr. Ge said: "I noticed it just now, but I feel it's okay - the brushwork is smooth and the lines are slender, which is a typical Chenghua technique."
"This grass leaf folded over and had a shaded surface, while the flowers and trees with flat coating method only had the front surface. This is one of the secrets to identify Chenghua Doucai." Qi Kun slowly revealed the final answer.
Mr. Yu suddenly woke up and patted his forehead in annoyance, and said in a lost voice: "The Pingtu method has yang but no yin, why did I forget this? It makes you laugh and feel ashamed!"
Wu Renyou said angrily: "It's a fake for a long time. I spent half a day in vain. I will definitely smash this thing in front of the seller!"
"Don't go!"
Bai Yu quickly said the northern dialect. Mr. Yu and Mr. Ge looked at him with great attention, "I still have some ideas about the Doucai Cup."
Qi Kun was very surprised: "Oh, Xiaobai still has great ideas. You say, you say."
Bai Yu said: "There is a saying in the appreciation of porcelain: "The Ming Dynasty, Chenghua, Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng. During the Yongzheng period, imitation of Chenghua Doucai has reached its peak. There have been breakthroughs in technology production, pattern layout, color matching to color filling technology. It is not that Chenghua is better than Chenghua, and it breaks the simple traditional craft of underglaze blue and white and overglaze pastels, and combines underglaze blue and white with overglaze pastels to make Doucai more fresh and elegant. This cup is the finest among the imitations of Yongzheng period. Its artistic level is not inferior to Chenghua, and its value is still considerable."
"How much is it worth?" Miao Wenjun also became interested.
"At least 40,000 to 50,000." Bai Yu said.
Mr. Ge took it over and looked carefully twice, and said, "Not stop."
Wu Renyou slapped the table and said, "I'll find that guy to get it for 5,000 yuan tomorrow! I dare to fool us with imitations and teach him some lessons!"
Qi Kun didn't make up for him, and maybe he didn't need to say anything more, so he smiled deeply at Bai Yu: "Yes, Xiaobai, occasionally showing off his power, it's not bad."
"I'm so ugly in front of experts." Bai Yu said modestly.
In fact, this set of rhetoric is completely a white-speaking education. Since Doucai Chicken Cup won a world record of 280 million, the Hong Kong collector industry has worked hard to study Chenghua Doucai like crazy. Baisheng has also accumulated a lot of knowledge and taught it to all his money.
After Wu Renyou put away the cup, Qi Kun said, "Mr. Ge is happy with everything. I will hold some bar tonight to toast to appreciate the twists and turns of Doucai Cup."
"I heard that Minister Qi had some alcohol tolerance," Miao Wenjun smiled.
After the cold disc was brought up, he opened a bottle of Maotai. Mr. Yu opened the conversation and said, "I heard that the province has moved many cadres recently. Why is it a bit abnormal to adjust at a time point that is neither up nor down?"
Qi Kun glanced at Bai Yu without leaving any trace and said, "Boss Luo means that the organization department can only follow his rhythm. What should be adjusted at the end of the year have to be adjusted, which is two different things."
Mr. Ge smiled and said, "The routine routine is like this. When I first came, I was cautious and kept careful everywhere. When I calmed down, the power was concentrated in my hands. I would like to say hello and the favors I asked should be in place one after another. It would be too shocking to put it all by the end of the year, so I would solve a group of people first in the middle of the year."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Qi Kun and Miao Wenjun laughed out loud at the same time, probably because they agreed to Mr. Ge’s statement.
Mr. Yu looked at Bai Yu and said, "Xiaobai is young and shouldn't just think about raising old age in a provincial government, right? Young people should have the courage to take risks and fight."
Miao Wenjun smiled and said, "Mr. Yu may not know Xiaobai very much. He started as the deputy head of a poor county and poor township, and promoted him to the top in many places. Some people do not want him to continue to display his skills in the local area, so he deliberately transferred him to a provincial government agency..."
"What happened?" Mr. Yu and Mr. Ge looked in disbelief.
Qi Kun said without saying a word: "Listen to Xiaobai himself."
He knew that the introduction of Miao Wenjun must be all praises, which would affect everyone's objective judgment. If Bai Yu introduces himself, it would be relatively objective. At least he would be embarrassed to brag in front of all the old people.
Bai Yu had long been looking forward to such an opportunity, but he didn't expect that this day would come earlier than expected. He pondered a little, from the various methods of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich in the countryside, to calmly resolving the financial turmoil between Shanglin, Shangdang and Dang, and to breaking the regional dilemma of Shangdang to conceive the "one horizontal and two vertical" transportation artery with the hot spring economic circle as the core.
Mr. Yu, Mr. Ge became more and more impressed with the young cadre as he heard it. Qi Kun drank silently and ate vegetables. In the end, he suddenly asked:
“Has the hot spring resorts been built?”
"The first and second phases of the project were put into operation last year and the third phase is currently under development."
"Has the intercity expressway from Shangdang to the provincial capital been repaired?"
"It was also opened to traffic last year."
"So many projects are launched at the same time, Shangdang itself is a poor county, and the finance department will have to bear at least ten years of debt, right?" Qi Kun said.
Miao Wenjun smiled and said, "Xiaobai is embarrassed to boast, I will praise it. Two huge projects, but fortunately, Xiaobai tries every means to let investors take business risks. The county finance is only responsible for the infrastructure part, with a little debt but not heavy. Moreover, Shangdang's goal is to remove the national poverty-stricken county this year, relying on the formation of good and vigorous development potential during the period when Xiaobai served as executive vice-president *** in actual work."
"Bang!"
Mr. Yu was drunk and slapped the table and said angrily: "What are the mediocre officials who are blind and exclude good cadres, but instead let a large number of mediocre and inaction occupy a high position! It's extremely hateful!"
Mr. Ge was very calm and said lightly: "The principle of bad money driving out good money."
"So what are your thoughts now?" Qi Kun asked.
Bai Yu sighed softly and said, "From my heart, I still hope to do more practical things at the grassroots level, but..."
"But there is not a small resistance," Miao Wenjun took over the words, "Minister Qi knew that Xiaobai happened to be in charge of the share reform of Yuda Group and the chemical factory in the Economic and Trade Commission. If someone else did it, he would definitely give up the burden halfway. Xiaobai still gritted his teeth and chewed this hard bone, but it obviously offended the interest group. This adjustment took Xiaobai's immediate boss Guan Yueming, which was to sound the alarm for him!"
"From the top to the next, one is a feather!" Mr. Yu slapped the table and cursed.
Mr. Ge suddenly smiled: "Fortunately, Brother Qi is a good cadre with conscience and quality in the officialdom, right?"
"One of you two is a singly singly singly singly singly singly singly. Do you think I can't see it?" Qi Kun raised his glass and said, "I won't talk about work anymore, drink."
"Okay, I've had this cup!"
Miao Wenjun knew that it was more than enough to talk about this tonight. Ge and his two unexpectedly helped him, so they started drinking happily.
The topic turned to antique appreciation, and Wu Renyou, who had been silent, also joined in the discussion. The more people talked, the happier they were, and the more excited they were. In the end, the six people drank four bottles of Maotai. Without waiting for Miao Wenjun to hint, Bai Yu quietly went to the front desk to settle the account.
When he saw the bill was more than 30,000 yuan, even Bai Yu was very knowledgeable and could not help but be shocked.
After returning home with great pleasure, Miao Wenjun said that he had drunk too much and suggested taking a walk for a while, so Bai Yu accompanied him on the sidewalk.
After walking for a while, he couldn't help but complain that Xie Yuting's knife was too fast. He was born in the Kyoto family and didn't care about money, but he was unwilling to be killed like this.
Miao Wenjun closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, saying, "How much did you get when you drink tea last time?"
"Eight thousand three!"
"I'll give me two invoices, and the deputy mayor of the provincial capital will be fine to deal with this fee."
"It's not a matter of money, Mayor Miao, I just think..."
Miao Wenjun patted Bai Yu on the shoulder and said, "From now to the end of the year, I may have to have a few meals with Qi Kun, and I will be in Xieyuting every time. Do you understand?"
"oh--"
Bai Yu seemed to have some insight and asked after a while, "Before I participated, who paid for the bill for you to have tea and eat?"
"Every time, there are basically different people. It's a great deal of face to be allowed to come here. Who cares about that little money, right?" said Miao Wenjun blinked, "Occasionally I will rush to pay the bill. You'll be surprised that the executive vice mayor of the provincial capital is no lower than him in terms of level, but he is more powerful than him in terms of real power, and he is even more incomparable in terms of development space. Why do you take the initiative to cling?"
"because……"
Bai Yu thought for a while and said, "At the level of yours, the most important thing is information."
"Yes!" Miao Wenjun pointed until he stopped talking, and then patted him again, with his eyes full of appreciation. "In just a few years in Shanglin, I have trained seven or eight cadres. You are the most insightful and spiritual among them. I hope you will follow me and go further and higher than me!"
"I want to thank you for your trust and guidance. Without you, I would not be able to stand in the provincial capital at this moment," Bai Yu also said in his heart, "You are my mentor on the road of growth, and even more so, a teacher. I will never let your expectations down in the future!"
They were really saying the truth after drinking, and the two of them said everything they had to their hearts.
