Ma Weidu was wearing a woolen coat and a plaid scarf. It seemed that he wanted to dress up like a cultural person.

But the gleam in his small eyes made him look shrewd and cunning, a bit like a thief.

"Hey! Master Ma, I have admired you for a long time."

Zhang Jizhong saw it was him and quickly stood up to greet him.

"You lift me up, and I have long admired your name!"

Ma Weidu said politely, and at Zhang Jizhong's greeting, he sat next to him.

All in all, Ma Weidu can also be regarded as a person in the TV drama circle.

He is a literary editor and worked as an editor at the National Youth Publishing House in his early years.

Later, he and his friends opened a Haima Cabaret, but because they had a wide circle of friends, they were eaten and taken away from them by their friends. Not only did they not make any money, they also lost a lot of money.

In order to recover the losses, Wang Shuo gave him an idea and planned to use the dance hall to film a drama called "Haima Dance Hall".

Wang Shuo is a younger brother in the courtyard and a leading figure among the younger generation of writers in the Beijing circle, with deep and wide connections.

In addition, Ma Weidu is also from the literary circle, so they attracted a lot of writers with one sentence and formed a screenwriting team of nearly 40 people. Each writer is responsible for the plot of an episode.

Among these screenwriters, those who are well-known in the literary circle include Wang Shuo, Hai Wei, Liu Zhenyun, Mo Yan, Liang Zuo, etc. They are all shining stars.

With the blessing of these famous writers, the rights to "Haima Cabaret" were sold before the filming was completed.

Through this drama, Ma Weidu not only made up for the lost money from opening a dance hall, but also made millions.

However, it is not his experience in filming TV series that makes him famous in Beijing circles, but his collection.

In his early years, he was a famous dealer in Peiping, and he made his fortune by reselling cultural relics.

After pouring too much money, he became a famous collector of cultural relics and opened the country's first private museum to house his collection.

It is said that the cultural relics in his hands are worth hundreds of millions, and many of them are priceless treasures.

For example, as soon as he sat down, he took out the dragon-shaped jade from his pocket and played with it. It was not an ordinary piece.

Zhang Jizhong noticed the jade in his hand and asked curiously: "What is this? Is it old?"

Old refers to old objects. When Ma Weidu heard this, he explained with a smile: "This is a dragon-shaped white jade wall from the Western Han Dynasty. It is an old thing. I collected it seven or eight years ago."

"Western Han Dynasty? Is this Han jade?"

Zhang Jizhong couldn't help but be surprised. The Western Han Dynasty was more than 2,000 years ago. He actually played with ancient jade that was more than 2,000 years old like this?

"It's Han jade, but it's not a fine product. It's just mid-range in appearance."

Ma Weidu brought this jade out with the intention of showing off. Seeing him surprised, he felt secretly happy.

"This must be worth a lot of money, right?"

Zhang Jizhong praised.

Although he was not short of money, he still couldn't do something like just play with a two-thousand-year-old jade.

"It's not worth much."

Ma Weidu smiled and turned the jade over: "This piece of jade only costs more than 100,000 yuan at most. Two to three hundred thousand is worth a lot."

"Is an ancient jade worth more than two thousand years worth this little money?"

Zhang Jizhong was surprised.

"Ancient jade is not valuable. It is easy to preserve and the quantity is relatively large. It just has a higher cultural symbolism."

Ma Weidu explained: "The most valuable cultural relics are porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and ancient jade unless it is made of good materials and has good appearance, otherwise it will not be able to sell for a sky-high price, and it will not be as valuable as jade from the Ming and Qing Dynasties."

"I have learned a lot."

Zhang Jizhong sighed with a smile.

If you are not a professional, you really don’t understand this kind of thing. No wonder so many laymen are deceived in collecting!

"If you like it, get started."

Ma Weidu generously placed the jade on the table and motioned to Zhang Jizhong to play with it.

In the antique business, it is a rule that toys should not be handed over to others, in order to avoid accidental damage during the transfer of hands and cause disputes.

Zhang Jizhong carefully picked up the jade from the table and observed it carefully.

Although he could afford hundreds of thousands, he would feel bad if he accidentally lost hundreds of thousands.

Ma Weidu didn't care, at least he looked like he didn't care on the surface.

The player must act like a player, and he must pretend to be a "player".

"Director, can I take a look?"

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Jizhong curiously, a little envious: "I have never seen jade that is more than two thousand years old!"

Zhang Jizhong couldn't make the decision, so he looked at Ma Weidu.

Ma Weidu smiled and raised his chin: "Let's see!"

Liu Yifei happily ran over, carefully took the jade from Zhang Jizhong, and thanked Ma Weidu: "Thank you, grandpa!"

"Ahem!"

Ma Wei choked on his saliva and couldn't help coughing.

Zhang Jizhong laughed and explained: "This is the little girl who plays Wang Yuyan. She is only fifteen years old this year."

"Oh, that's okay."

Ma Weidu laughed at himself: "At my age, in ancient times, I could really be her grandfather."

Liu Yifei knew she had said the wrong thing, so she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, ran back to her seat, and carefully observed the jade.

People nearby also came over curiously, admiring and admiring it.

Liu Yifei held the jade and turned towards Mu Rong: "Cousin, look, it's so powerful!"

Looking at the texture and shape of the jade, Mu Rong whispered: "This is Song Yu!"

His voice was not loud, but everyone at the table was paying attention and heard what he said.

"Song Yu? Isn't it Han Yu?"

Jiang Xin heard Mu Rong's words and asked Ma Weidu with doubtful eyes.

Ma Weidu was also stunned, looked at Mu Rong and asked: "Who is this?"

"Oh, this is the character who plays Murong Fu in my play. His name is Mu Rong. He is a pretty good actor."

Zhang Jizhong explained something and hurriedly signaled to Mu Rong: "Mu Rong, you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! There is a thousand years difference between Han and Song!"

"Hey, don't."

Ma Weidu reached out to stop him, looked at Mu Rong curiously and asked, "Do you also know about antiques?"

"Understand a little bit."

Mu Rong said modestly.

He indeed only knows about antiques from before the Song Dynasty.

"Those who say they understand a little bit really understand."

Ma Weidu smiled and asked: "Then tell me, why do you say this is a piece of Song Dynasty jade?"

Mu Rong glanced at the curious people on both sides, thought for a moment, took the jade bi from Liu Yifei's hand, and explained: "It's very simple, the shape and decoration of this jade are all in the style of Han jade.

The shape is simple, but a little too deliberate in pursuing that simple feeling.

Moreover, the edges of most Han jade articles are relatively sharp, but the edges of this piece of jade are relatively rounded, and the incised lines are relatively soft. This is a characteristic of Song jade carving techniques.

Therefore, from these two points, we can roughly judge that this is a jade article from the Song Dynasty imitating the Han Dynasty."

After hearing his words, everyone was stunned.

Just now it was said to be jade from Song Dynasty, and now it is said to be jade from Song Dynasty imitating Han Dynasty. What kind of jade is this?

In confusion, everyone looked at Ma Weidu.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Ma Wei cleared his throat and nodded in admiration: "You really have to live and learn! I'm not very proficient in jade, but I learned a lesson today!"

His words proved the authenticity of Mu Rong's point of view, and everyone present was immediately shocked.

Does this guy Mu Rong really understand jade?

Liu Yifei looked up at Mu Rong, her eyes full of admiration.

Cousin is great!

"Is what he said true?"

Zhang Jizhong asked suspiciously.

Ma Weidu nodded and explained: "I don't know much about jade, but the style of imitating the ancient style of jade did begin in the Song Dynasty. After Ouyang Xiu founded epigraphy in the Northern Song Dynasty, many jade articles in the Song Dynasty began to imitate the ancient style. Many Song jade used

All of them are in the form of utensils from the Shang, Zhou, Han and other previous dynasties.
