The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Although his mind was a little confused, Yasukiko Sawaguchi did not react slowly. He immediately bowed to apologize and said in English: "I'm sorry, please forgive me!"

In response to this, Zhang Nan just smiled and nodded slightly, and said in Chinese: "He who doesn't know is not guilty."

Knowing that she should understand this sentence, who told her that she had just returned from Huaxia and had to make up for Chinese, it was not a big problem.

What should I do if I really don’t understand?

Cold salad, it doesn't matter to Zhang Nan anyway.

As for why you can answer her in such a sleek way?

Naturally, this is the most polite!

The little devil has a strict hierarchy. The status of guests should be high, the status of superiors should be high, the status of elders should be high, and the status of men should be high... When this pile rises, Sawaguchi Yasuko is also a sad reminder.

No human rights.

Zhang Nan used to be a guest, equivalent to a superior, and is now the boss. Before coming here, Hideyuki Takai had already told her about the holding of the company. Her contract is not good, and it will take ten years to get free and disrespectful. The boss can't do it.

Of course, the status of men in Japanese society is high, which is not as high as that of the old ladies of the new big boss. So when Matsuoka learned that it was not the lady but the wife, he unexpectedly bowed and apologized at a 45-degree angle.

The chairman apologized, and the three behind immediately followed, which made Zhang Nan very upset!

Why?

The other party can be regarded as a big man in the Japanese film industry. If you bow and apologize like this, it is not good not to express yourself. Besides, even if they bought most of the shares in Dongbao, the four people in front of them should control a lot of the remaining shares of Dongbao if nothing happens.

The same major shareholders can barely be considered equal, at least how Zhang Nan understands.

Zhang Nan also bends down slightly to show politeness, which makes Nicole and Jenny also bend down.

Unhappy, really unhappy!

It's not that you bend your head and waist at some mourning ceremony!

After some introduction, I finally dealt with the uncomfortable courtesy, and then entered the huge box.

Alyosha and other bodyguards left after the boss sat down. This was out of respect for each other. As for Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan, five Japanese already knew that one of them was Mr. Allen’s brother-in-law, and the other was the eldest brother. Seating is justified.

And the cunning Matsuoka Ko knows: This Mr. Xiang is not easy!

Can a personal bodyguard who is loyal to his duties give up his position on the employer's side, can this person be simple?

Estimated to be a real master.

Of course it was Zhang Nan's seat, but he didn't follow the Japanese dining etiquette to allow everyone to sit down: treat yourself, or Chinese food, then you have to follow the Chinese custom.

As a result, the seats became cross-shaped. Gong Matsuoka sat on Zhang Nan's side and Xiang Weirong on the other side.

As for Nicole and Jenny, Sawaguchi Yasuko, who had sat down 100%, was caught in the middle.

Anyway, everyone finally sat down politely.

Without that group of sturdy and even cold bodyguards around, the four Japanese men felt the pressure plummeted, and the pressure on those bodyguards was too great.

It's the same with Sawaguchi Yasushi, although he has been with Mr. Allen's bodyguards for a while, most of them are already familiar. But some people haven't seen it this time, especially the two giants put too much pressure on her!

In the eyes of Sawaguchi Yasushi, he can go to the center of the national basketball team.

Japan has a giant center with a height of 2.30 meters, but in the eyes of Sawaguchi Yasuko, that guy is like a dumb boy, clumsy and clumsy. And just now they were different from the two people behind Mr. Allen, their manners and eyes were fierce!

Not "stupid" at all.

Especially the slightly shorter one, with a face full of flesh, looks even darker than the Yamaguchi group-society, how do you look like a peerless murderer!

There is also the body of the other party. At first glance, the custom-made handmade suits can't stop the explosive muscles. They are several levels stronger than those senior athletes of the Japanese men's basketball team!

"One is at least as heavy as three of mine, right?"

Can't help but think about it.

Sawaguchi Yasukiko weighs less than 45 kilograms, while Mark and Jacob, each weighing more than 135 kilograms, are properly three or more of her!

As soon as the parties combined, in Jingzi's eyes, the two were simply prehistoric behemoths!

Although the monster is gone, other pressures are coming.

It is not Guan Xingquan who has no emotion in his eyes that will put the pressure on Zeguchi Jingzi: she has dealt with him before, and she knows that Mr. Guan is actually very talkative-a naive child, I really don't know that Guan Boss is no more troublesome than killing an ant.

The hidden pressure comes from that Mrs. Nicole Lopez!

Jingzi has never seen that aura, and occasionally seeing Mrs. Nicole look at her as if she can see through people!

Jingzi felt that she was a little wronged: she really respects Mr. Allen. Besides, Miss Adjani was there last time, so I will just be a small translator and a small tour guide...

Even more awkward, Jingzi felt that Mrs. Nicole looked at her as if she was looking at an item of her own!

Poor, if she knows that Nicole and Jenny used to be on the lace side, this meeting hasn't completely returned to normal, Jingzi will probably run away.

...

The guest and the host are harmonious, because Matsuoka should be considered a guest, so he brought a gift.

Sawaguchi Yasuko took two 30 cm square gift boxes from the table on the side of the box, the same thickness, about seven or eight centimeters, and the packaging was exceptionally exquisite, which was in line with the Japanese concept of gift-giving by packaging.

"Mr. Allen, Chairman Matsuoka learned that you like Chinese antiques, and specially presented a pair of small gifts. I hope you like it."

He bent down again and offered it with both hands, causing Zhang Nan to take it formally with both hands.

"Ms. Jingzi, can we be more casual, I'm really not used to being so polite."

It feels a bit weighty, knowing that Matsuoka Gong is not very proficient in English, so Zhang Nan spoke a few words very quickly, but they didn't understand it anyway.

It doesn't matter if you understand it. Zhang Nan doesn't care if you miss the little devil's courtesy. If you continue to have such endless and hypocritical etiquette, Zhang Nan is likely to let the other party know what American faux pas is like!

Sawaguchi Yasuko finally held back and did not bend over, but just nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Mr. Allen."

Japanese people are not allowed to give gifts in pairs, except for gifts in pairs, such as a pair of pens and two bottles of wine. But a pair of objects needs to be packed in two boxes, and Zhang Nan is a little curious about this.

Also for the good of the other party, I asked: "What is it?"

Regardless of whether the Japanese side can unpack the gifts in person, Zhang Nan, anyway, according to the protection rules that Thomas and Guan Boss and others have made for himself, such items need to be opened immediately, rather than being stupid and left beside him for a long time.

Especially this kind of thing that looks like a landmine and weighs quite a bit.

Also, Zhang Nan was very curious about what the other party would give him something.

Knowing that the Japanese have a lot of gift-giving rules and are more stingy, saying "a little bit of meaning" when giving gifts in China is basically not a trivial thing. And if the Japanese give a gift and say "a little meaning", the box is probably a piece of soap, a small handkerchief...

100% trivial!

In Japan, gifts given to different people on different occasions are different, and it is said that there are many rules.

This would be said to be because I like Chinese antiques and gave myself small gifts-if Matsuoka and others are giving themselves things in the way of little devils, then these four will wait for Monday to go home and hold their children!

As soon as the box is opened, a copper plate and a big head of Yuan?

That is to look down on yourself. Compared with this, hundreds of millions of dollars of investment can be put aside, and the other party must first let the other party know the cost of rudeness!

But if Matsuoka knows about himself, it is really a "giving gift in the style of surrender and begging for others", then Zhang Nan would be happy to accept it. From the value of the gift sent by the other party, it is possible to see that Matsuoka and others are right. How to position them in Dongbao in the future is a good thing.

Sawaguchi Yasuko didn't know what was inside the box, and asked Matsuoka Ko in Japanese, and the other side stood up and said a few words.

"It's a pair of ancient mirrors, Mr. Allen."

When Zhang Nan heard this, he gestured to the gift box on the table, and Matsuoka smiled casually.

You have the gift-giving etiquette, and the antique industry also has its own rules: the same goes for those who give gifts, so you have to see it face to face, otherwise, who knows whether the contents are intact or if it has fallen off.

Antiques, if you send them, you have to send them clearly and receive them clearly. Don't make it too thankless or leave you misunderstandings that are hard to explain.

Without letting Zhang Nan do it himself, Guan Xingquan came over and took the two boxes and opened them on the other side.

Seemingly random, in fact, when untying the silk thread on the top and uncovering the colored paper of the packaging, they are all very professional methods of EOD.

Inside are two beautiful mahogany boxes, not brand new, they should have a history of several decades.

At this time Matsuoka Ko said a few words, and Sawaguchi Yasuko translated: "These are two bronze mirrors collected by Chairman Matsuoka's family many years ago. They should be relatively rare..."

Guan Xingquan opened both boxes, each with a distinctive bronze mirror placed in the golden liner, Zhang Nan's eyes lit up.

Seeing the change in his younger brother-in-law's eyes, Xiang Weirong spoke to Guan Xingquan in dialect: "Take it over and take a look. Anan's city mansion is still a bit short, and he can't hide his eyes when he sees good things.

I have seen too many national treasures, Eastern, Western, and ordinary treasures that would not make Zhang Nan's eyes bright.

These are two mirrors, a very special mirror. Even if it is a national treasure, it can't be so expensive that Zhang Nan temporarily loses the city mansion-if the value of money is so valuable, Matsuoka Gong can't afford it.

There is only one possibility left-things are rare, and Zhang Nan has discovered a very special meaning.

Here Zhang Nan sees that since the other party will give this thing to himself, he doesn't have to be polite and can handle it in the same way as an antique collector.

Zhang Nan said, Guan Xingquan got up and went out and called Mark Callaway.

"My gloves."

Do you?

Don't do it.

If it's a normal bronze mirror, then he doesn't need to wear gloves to get started, even the best black lacquered bronze mirror. But the two bronze mirrors are different, the real difference is that Zhang Nan has never used it in his two lifetimes combined!

Pick up one of the sides, about 17 or 18 cm in diameter, the mirror rusts more severely, there are large patches of green rust-this is not the point, the focus is on the back of the mirror!

There are six sets of gold and silver patterns on the back of the mirror!

Gold, silver and bronze mirrors are rare in the world!

Three of them are double dragon scrolls, and each group of scrolls is two deformed dragons, the left and right sides are in an S-shape, and they are entangled with each other.

These three sets of double dragon swirls divide the back of the mirror into three areas. The upper part of the mirror is a hunting pattern: a samurai wears a crown with two feathers on his head, holds a sword in one hand and a rein in one hand, and is about to rush. Tiger to the head.

The fierce tiger flares its teeth and dances its claws, turning its head back to bite, and one person, one horse and one tiger are lifelike.

The area on the left side of the mirror button is a really funny pattern of two monsters, and the area on the right side of the mirror button is like a phoenix bird with its wings spread out.

The ornamentation of the entire mirror back is integrated, coupled with the gold and silver craftsmanship more than 2,000 years ago, this should be an exquisite top-level artwork at the beginning!

After reading it carefully, Zhang Nan used English and Chinese to speak to the people around him in a more formal way: "Gold and silver mirror with hunting pattern, unearthed by robbers from 1926 to 1934 at the Tomb of East Zhou in Jincun County, Luoyang Mengjin County, Henan Province.

Bronze sandwich composite mirror, the mirror material is bronze with a higher tin content, which is different from the material of the mirror back, which is very rare.

This gold-silver mirror-making process can be said to represent one of the highest standards of mirror-making during the Warring States Period in China. If I remember correctly, this bronze mirror should be the earliest bronze mirror of China that has been discovered so far. "

First, first...

Once you run into this "most", it's amazing.

To put it simply, this gold and silver craftsmanship is a must. Use gold and silver wires or gold and silver pieces to inlay patterns and characters on the surface of the utensils, and then use the wrong stone to polish the surface of the utensils.

Such exquisite gold, silver and bronze mirrors were unlikely to be obtained by ordinary little nobles at the time. It is very likely that it was the funeral of the Eastern Zhoujun~www.readwn.com~ As for how to get to Japan?

The war of aggression against China?

This Zhang Nan doesn't know, but he knows where the mirror came from, because if he didn't appear by himself, the mirror would be found in the private museum of Yongqing Bunko in the little devil Kyoto in 20 years.

To everyone’s curiosity, Zhang Nan continued: “The location of Mengjin- County Jincun is within the scope of the ancient city of Luoyang, Weiluo, Han Dynasty, and it is very interesting. It goes back to the Warring States Period, where it is the tomb of the princes.

Probably from 1926 to 1934, 8 tombs of the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty or the top noble sons in Jincun were stolen and excavated, and most of the thousands of cultural relics unearthed were resold overseas.

A Japanese archaeologist named Umehara Sumharu compiled a copy of "Luoyang Jincun Ancient Tomb Juying" based on the collected data. There are 238 cultural relics recorded in it.

Along with the gold and silver inlaid hunting pattern mirror, unearthed from the Jincun Tomb and flowed to the world in the bronze mirror, there are also gold and silver inlaid dragon mirror, three dragon painted openwork mirror, stone inlaid four beasts openwork mirror, jade inlaid glass mirror, A large number of treasures, such as painted beads and arc mirrors, are recorded in that book. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan pointed to the bronze mirror in the other box, and said, "That side is a bronze mirror with gold and silver inverted dragon patterns."

Small button and round button seat, there are six horned dragons entwined between the button seat and the edge. The dragon body is made of "gold and silver" pattern, and the embedded gold and silver wires are as thin as hair!

"In the same batch of top bronze mirrors, I only know that there is a jade-embedded glass mirror which will be in the History Exhibition Hall of Harvard University. Someday I will be free. I will see if I can discuss it with them and exchange it for some Western art. Order something back."

Are you afraid of Matsuoka Gong, do they understand?

Don't be afraid, the origins of these two bronze mirrors are clear, and it is impossible for a few Japanese to not know.
