Chapter 129 Unexpected! ! !
"Oh! I didn't see it!"
Tang Hao immediately took over and joked:
"Mr. Zhuang is still the big boss of the business!"
"I actually..."
Just as Zhuang Zhou was about to explain, Meng Xuan said before him:
"Besides, he is in the antiques business."
Meng Xuan's words directly attracted Meng Tianxiang and Tang Dahai who were drinking.
The two looked at each other, and then looked at Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou could only smile and responded:
"Yes, I make antiques, but they are all high imitations."
After saying that, he started eating again.
Although he has already eaten more than thirty dishes, he is still not full yet!
Tang Dahai was obviously very interested and asked:
"What kind of antiques does Mr. Zhuang do specifically?"
Zhuang Zhou didn't think much and replied casually:
"It's mainly ceramics, seals, copper coins, calligraphy and paintings, etc. To put it bluntly, anything with a certain age will do."
After Tang Dahai heard this, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he nodded in praise:
"Oh, that's quite a technical business!"
Tang Hao winked mischievously and joked:
"Then it seems I have to call you Boss Zhuang."
Zhuang Zhou smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said:
"Don't call me that, I'm not used to it yet!"
At this time, Tang Dahai pressed the button again.
Soon a waiter came in again.
"Mr. Zhuang, what else do you want to eat?"
When Tang Hao saw this, he didn't understand why his father was so polite to Zhuang Zhou.
But who knows.
Zhuang Zhou was really rude. He picked up the menu and ordered a dozen dishes.
Red wine braised beef, open oven roast duck, West Lake crispy lotus root, etc.
Finally, I ordered home-style braised pork.
This made Meng Xuan a little confused!
This is too much, can you finish it?
You know, by this time the other people had almost eaten.
Especially Meng Xuan, she basically doesn't eat much at night.
Tonight, I only ate two chopsticks as a token meal.
But in fact, Zhuang Zhou only felt sixty percent full.
Soon the ordered dishes were brought out again. When Zhuang Zhou saw that no one moved their chopsticks, he became rude.
Anyway, you have ordered the food, and it would be a waste if you don’t eat it.
So in a hurry, I finished all the newly ordered dishes.
Not only that, Zhuang Zhou also ordered a bowl of hot and sour noodles.
After doing this, Zhuang Zhou finally felt full.
Tang Dahai and Meng Tianxiang glanced at each other imperceptibly. The two looked at each other and seemed to nod at the same time.
It seemed like they were exchanging some information.
At this time, Tang Hao and Meng Xuan were stunned.
Especially Meng Xuan, although he already knew that Zhuang Zhou was quite edible.
But I’ve never seen anything so edible!
After eating those things just now, looking at Zhuang Zhou, there seemed to be no change in his stomach.
He looks just like he did before eating.
This is really a bit puzzling.
When Tang Dahai saw this, he remembered something that Zhao Xiaohu had come to report to him earlier.
One of his men once offended a man who could easily lift a man weighing two hundred pounds.
Tang Dahai once heard that such people are very scary when it comes to eating.
One person can eat as much as ten people, and the meal is just like normal people.
Looking at Zhuang Zhou's current situation, Tang Dahai vaguely guessed something.
This guy might be the person he has been looking for.
"Mr. Zhuang, are you full? If not, I can ask the chef to cook it for you again."
It turned out that only then did Zhuang Zhou know that this restaurant was owned by Tang Dahai.
"No, I've already eaten."
Zhuang Zhou took out paper and wiped his mouth.
He came here to top up his credit today, and now he had a big meal for free.
The key point is that the food here is so delicious that he wants to open a specialty restaurant in the future.
And the braised pork dish at the end was so delicious!
"By the way, how did Mr. Zhuang get into the antique industry? Does he have a lot of research on antiques?"
Tang Dahai asked curiously.
Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and then said:
"Actually, I haven't done much research on antiques. I just entered this industry because of my hobby and chance."
Meng Tianxiang took over the topic and asked curiously:
"Then how do you tell the difference between those high imitations and the real ones?"
“It all depends on experience and vision.”
Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:
"Long-term exposure and study have given me a lot of understanding of the materials, craftsmanship, and age characteristics of antiques. In jargon, it is called palm eye."
Of course he was making it up.
But since it was a live chat, it was impossible for Zhuang Zhou to admit that he didn’t know anything!
Hearing this, Tang Dahai sighed with emotion:
"It seems that Mr. Zhuang is an expert. I am also very interested in this antique business. If there is a chance, I would like to cooperate with Mr. Zhuang!"
Zhuang Zhou said sincerely:
"Actually, I already have someone cooperating with me in my antique business."
Tang Dahai continued and asked:
"Oh, who?"
"It's Liu Yunhe from the Golden Hammer Group. Old Liu and I have reached an agreement privately to work together."
"what?"
Meng Tianxiang asked in surprise:
"You said you and Liu Yunhe know each other?"
"Correct."
"So, the Golden Hammer Group exhibited a batch of high-imitation Tang and blue-and-white porcelain before, but did it come from your store?"
"Yes!"
Zhuang Zhou didn't hide it and admitted it directly.
Now he is responsible for getting these porcelain products back, and the sales channels are left to Liu Yunhe to take care of.
Including the joint exhibition with the Cultural Relics Bureau, Liu Yunhe is in charge.
Zhuang Zhou didn't bother to worry about this.
Meng Tianxiang and Tang Dahai looked at each other deeply at this time.
Meng Xuan and Tang Hao were confused.
Meng Xuan couldn't help but ask:
"What are you all talking about?"
Tang Dahai laughed and said:
"Meng Xuan, this high school classmate of yours is really awesome! He's just too low-key!"
Zhuang Zhou smiled awkwardly:
"I just opened a small antique shop, which is completely incomparable to big bosses like you."
"Mr. Zhuang is too humble."
As Tang Dahai spoke, he took out a business card from his bag and handed it over:
"Leave me your business card. Maybe we can work together in the future."
When Zhuang Zhou heard what the other party said, he had to stand up quickly and take it with both hands.
Tang Hao glanced at his father in confusion.
Originally, he looked down upon Zhuang Zhou.
I still want to tease him.
But who knows.
His father actually attached great importance to Zhuang Zhou, which was hard for him to understand.
Tang Hao didn't see what this kid was capable of at all.
of course.
Even Meng Xuan is like this.
Originally, he thought that bringing Zhuang Zhou here would make his father and Uncle Tang angry.
But now, Dad doesn't seem as angry as he imagined.
And even Uncle Tang didn't seem angry at all.
This made it difficult for her to understand.
Is it possible that Zhuang Zhou has some special charm that makes these two old men like him?
In fact, it’s not just Meng Xuan.
Even Zhuang Zhou was a little confused about what happened tonight.
For him, this was completely unexpected.
