As soon as Ma Xiaoguang said something, he really shocked everyone. Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.
The old gentleman smiled as usual and said, "Mr. Ma is really not an ordinary person. He also studies antiques?"
"I understand a little, I understand a little." Ma Xiaoguang said humbly.
Fatty and Lao Li saw Boss Ma's behavior and knew that he had known that the wine master was fake for a long time. They were relieved, but they were still a little puzzled. Although Boss Ma had a bright mind, he was still fooling around with shopkeeper Luo and his brother. It took a while, but the wine master glanced at it from a distance and knew the authenticity without even touching it. This was amazing!
In fact, it's not magical at all, because Ma Xiaoguang knows this thing. He has seen this wine statue in the museum before and knows its origin. If this thing is really a national treasure, although it looks like this from the shape and other aspects , this stuff really couldn’t be more real, but Ma Xiaoguang, who knew a little bit about history, knew that this stuff in front of him couldn’t be more fake.
In real history, this thing was dug out of the soil two years later in 1938, and the location was in Hunan Province, not Henan Province. The name of this thing later became famous, and it was a town-level national treasure - —Fang Zun of Siyang.
Although he knew Fang Zun's origin, Ma Xiaoguang did not reveal it. Firstly, there were some things that were difficult to say, and secondly, there were some things that were difficult to deal with, so he could only accept everyone's praise shamelessly.
Seeing Ma Xiaoguang's humble and prudent look, the old gentleman couldn't help but feel good about him and sighed: "There are fewer and fewer young people like Mr. Ma who are ambitious but not arrogant."
"Sir, you are giving me the award, but it was just a coincidence. I can't afford it if you call me sir, I can't afford it... You are an elder, so you should call me Xiran."
"Haha, Xiran, what a good word..." the prince praised.
While chatting, the food had already started to be taken away from the restaurant, and everyone chatted while eating. During the dinner, He Shiguang also hit it off with Boss Ma. There was a slight age gap between the two. Although He Shiguang was much older, he admired Boss Ma quite a bit.
Looking at the young and promising boss Ma, He Shiguang felt a little sad, and his eyes seemed to see what he looked like when he was young.
"Brother Shiguang is very touched?" Ma Xiaoguang asked with concern.
"He used to be careless and always wanted to make quick money and get rich... As a result, he didn't get rich, but he almost went bankrupt. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to Annan. I have warned him about the stock market a long time ago. Not everyone can play... These are not things that outsiders know, but Xiran you and I hit it off immediately, so we are not considered outsiders." The old gentleman seemed to have no scruples and said aloud.
The old Sir Alex always kept his word at home. Although his words were quite reproachful, he was more caring and caring.
"The ups and downs in business are normal. Sir, don't worry. Brother Shiguang and I hit it off immediately and will definitely be able to support each other." Ma Xiaoguang replied solemnly.
"That's very good. I take good care of my nephews and nephews at home, but as I get older, it's inevitable that I can't take care of them well... I have to serve my age." The Lord said with some emotion.
"Sir, you will definitely live a long life." Ma Xiaoguang said sincerely. He was very sure that the old Sir would live for more than ninety years, which was not far from a hundred years old.
"Grandpa Jazz, Chinese birthday stars all have beards, you will definitely live a long life!" Sophie also blessed the old man at this time.
Everyone continued to join in the fun, which made the old gentleman feel a lot better. During the dinner, they talked about business, life, antiques... and the guests and hosts had a great time while drinking.
The descendants of this old prince have a prosperous family and are as wealthy as the country. They have developed strong connections in Hong Kong Island and Xiangshan Ao. It is indeed a profound accumulation and cannot be achieved overnight.
After the banquet was over, He Shiguang took his entourage to arrange other matters. Sophie also quietly exited the private room with Fatty and Lao Li.
"Xiran, why did you go through so much trouble just to tell me that this antique is fake? Let's talk about life with an old man like me..." Seeing that there was no one else around, the old prince asked with a faint smile.
"Ahem, sir, I do have something to ask of you. I have a high position. I encountered something on Hong Kong Island and was imprisoned in the detention center of the Political Department. I am trying to rescue him." Ma Xiaoguang explained directly without being pretentious at all. He told the story of the incident and related secrets, and poured it all out like beans from a bamboo tube.
The old gentleman nodded repeatedly as he spoke. He did not expect that Ma Xiaoguang was such a bachelor. He straightforwardly explained his purpose of coming and his identity. He also revealed a lot of inside stories about the government, which the old man had never expected.
The old gentleman pondered for a moment, nodded again, and said: "This matter can be big or small. I also heard that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs arranged a special person to negotiate with the Hong Kong government... I just didn't expect that there would be something like this. The inside story is really difficult for you."
"So, Xiran wants to ask the Lord to find a way to deal with this matter. If there is an assignment in the future, Xiran will go through fire and water..."
"Xi Ran is serious. I met a wandering master in my early years and learned the art of fortune-telling. I think you have an extraordinary character and are quite strange... Although you are in a low position now, you will be limitless in the future. You and I The acquaintance is fate. Quanzi also serves in the army. It seems that he and you are in the same corps. We can get close to each other if we have the opportunity in the future... This matter is also a matter of state. I should deal with it with all my strength. Just wait for my news." Sir Alex Said in a deep voice.
"In this way, Xiran himself, on behalf of the Secret Service, would like to thank Sir Sir!" Ma Xiaoguang stood up and stood at attention, and said solemnly.
After chatting with Sir Alex for a while, He Shiguang had already arranged everything outside. As Sir Alex is an old man, naturally he cannot spend time with the young, strong and energetic Boss Ma.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Ma Xiaoguang said goodbye politely to the old master.
Before leaving, he also left his contact information with He Shiguang, who was living in a broken house. This made the somewhat down-and-out He Shiguang admire him, but he didn't know that Boss Ma had taken a fancy to his son and was thinking about what would happen twenty years later. .
He and the old Sir Alex and his entourage said goodbye in the foyer of the building. Ma Xiaoguang breathed a long sigh of relief as he watched the Sir Alex's motorcade leaving.
"Oh, Master Senpo, you are so amazing!" Sophie exclaimed. She originally thought that Boss Ma was a spy, but she didn't expect that Boss Ma not only knew antiques, but also knew how to do business. This is comparable to those young masters from embroidered pillow families in Shanghai. Much stronger.
The fat man also praised: "Master, this trick of yours is quite original. It doesn't cost a penny, and you also met a lord. It seems that things are going well."
"The young master has a bright mind!" Lao Li concluded.
"Haha, thank you, just so-so, just a splash..." Boss Ma smiled modestly, but he couldn't stop snickering in his heart. This time, the halo of pig's feet really possessed him.
Ma Xiaoguang actually had an idea for this matter. There are many ways to see Sir Alex, but how can they be implemented in a short time? Fortunately, my ancestors showed up and my compatriots in Henan Province helped me. A handicraft gave me a chance.
And his goal was completely achieved. The prince only saw the first floor, but he didn't know how many other evil ideas he had.
First, this devil spent a lot of money to buy this thing, so he deserves to be deceived. It is not appropriate to tell the truth now, because there will still be opportunities to pretend to be X in the future, not to mention the rules of this antique shop. Boss Ma will not do anything that breaks the rules. made.
The second is that this thing comes from Henan Province, and is naturally a product of the famous small village in Yichuan County of Henan Province - "Yanyunjian". There has been a counterfeiting industry there a long time ago, but this time it actually failed Sotheby's. Anyway, Boss Ma would not do anything to deceive the Neon people and end their lives.
Thirdly, he also intended to let everyone know that he had shown his face at the auction. That was fine. The news would eventually reach Boss Dai’s ears through various channels, which was not enough for outsiders.
Just now, I waved goodbye to the old Sir Alex at the door of the building. Many people must have seen it. News always spreads very fast in Hong Kong Island. Boss Ma will definitely do it when he finds the opportunity to show his face and pretend to be sexy!
After finishing the affairs on Hong Kong Island, Boss Ma and his party were about to take the ferry back to Kowloon, but Sophie insisted on following them, saying that she was a single woman in Hong Kong Island who was not familiar with the place and was afraid it would not be safe.
Hearing this, Boss Ma rolled his eyes and thought: "This romantic country girl has been staying in Hong Kong Island for I don't know how long. She seems to be more familiar with Hong Kong Island than me. Isn't it safe? I'm probably still thinking about it." Other scriptures."
But Fatty and Lao Li followed behind, whispering to each other and making strange laughs from time to time.
On the ferry, the afternoon sea breeze blew on his face, and he admired the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbor in the 1930s, which was a mixture of southern China and British style. Ma Xiaoguang suddenly had a century-old feeling.
Sophie next to her said thoughtfully: "By the way, Jack, many Westerners in China have Chinese names like grandpa. You see, the old gentleman also has one. How about you pick one for me?"
"Sophie...Sophie? Then call her Shufen." Ma Xiaoguang pondered for a moment and said.
"Shufen? It's a good name." Sophie nodded.
When Fatty and Lao Li heard this, they looked at each other and shook their heads. There was nothing wrong with the name "Shufen", but they still felt it was weird. Young Master Senpo was probably playing tricks on others.
After the ferry docked and returned to the Peninsula Hotel, Sophie immediately found the phone and chatted in romantic Mandarin for a long time, and then booked a room in the hotel, acting like Master Dingsenpo.
Ma Xiaoguang is now a little worried. It turns out that the old master has promised to help, and most of the work has been completed. He is also planning to have a swim in this pristine Hong Kong Island, but now he is following such a big tail, which makes people very upset.
And according to the moral character of Fatty and Lao Li, they will definitely gossip again when they go back. How will they explain it then?
I don't have the temperament of the old prince and his grandson, the king of gambling, to marry four wives by themselves.
Worry comes back, things need to be done, and some finishing work needs to be done well, otherwise this operation will not be perfect, and it will be in vain to alert Sir Alex to his appearance.
While Shufen (that is, Sophie) was still settling down in the hotel, she took out the pocket watch equipped with a miniature camera, took off the film, and asked the fat man to give these instructions. After receiving the order, the fat man ran away with a sly smile...
