Chapter 475: The day of graduation defense
The broken porcelain was sorted out by Mr. Yu and placed on a shelf in a room.
Although Mr. Zhao was anxious, seeing so many broken porcelain and years of professional habits made him involuntarily pick up the broken porcelain pieces in front of him and frowned.
With so many broken porcelains, it is impossible to say that you don’t feel sorry for them.
There are many fragments of chrysanthemum pattern discs that are the same as before. If they can be repaired, they will be another fine product. There are also many fine celadons of the same level as the chrysanthemum pattern discs just now.
This is the first time facing so many broken porcelains, Mr. Zhao also felt the pressure, picked it up one by one, and looked carefully and then carefully.
"You two, take a look first, I'll go back and bring the vase here." Chen Zhengqian went out with a smile, and told Zhang Zijie to keep the door and drive back to get things by himself.
Chen Zhengqian quickly brought the carved vase of blue and white glaze, and there were some celadon fragments. I believe Mr. Zhao would not refuse.
When they saw this celadon vase, both Zhao and Yu both lit up their eyes.
Porcelain in the Song Dynasty, whether it is Longquan Kiln or Jingdezhen Kiln, or whether it is celadon or white porcelain, is much rarer than other shapes.
Especially celadon, such large celadon objects are rare, and they are preserved so completely and new. Mr. Zhao simply doubted whether it was faked by later generations.
But after careful identification by the two, it was finally confirmed that this was the authentic one.
To draw this conclusion, both of them breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Only Chen Zhengqian stood there and laughed in his heart. Of course these things are real. No one knows better than him how these things came about. It has been buried in the sea for hundreds of years, so how could it be a fake?
"I agreed." Mr. Zhao held the celadon vase, looked at it again and again, and finally put it down reluctantly and said to Chen Zhengqian.
Chen Zhengqian was happy and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Zhao."
It's so great. Since Mr. Zhao promised to stay, if all the porcelains here can be restored, it would be a great asset!
Mr. Zhao shook his head: "No, I just can't bear to see so many cultural relics destroyed. So many cultural relics were lost back then, and too many were sold abroad. Now I want to find them back. It's too late. Since you can have so many collections here, that's your ability. I can help repair some of them, which is also accumulating merit."
Although I don’t know what the old man had experienced back then, Chen Zhengqian could still feel his sincerity.
So very good!
Old Man Yu also had a glamorous face. After all, he was also responsible for his inviting Mr. Zhao.
"Since Mr. Zhao, you agree to stay, I will hire you two as my personal antique consultant." Chen Zhengqian said with a smile.
Nowadays, people are popular with hiring consultants, so they can follow the trend. If you hire two knowledgeable old men as their personal antique consultants, you will undoubtedly avoid many detours.
Then Chen Zhengqian asked again: "As for salary, I'll ask if you have any requirements?"
To be honest, he doesn't know much about the salary issue in the antique industry, and no one around him is in this industry. It would be better to let the two old gentlemen speak by themselves.
As long as it was not too much, Chen Zhengqian agreed.
"I have been using my son's jobs all these years, but I don't know how much the shopkeeper's salary is. Just look at it." Mr. Yu said angrily.
People in their seventies are already in their seventies, so why do you still need so much money? It would be good to be able to eat, drink and move. Otherwise, if the person dies and the money is not spent, it would be so miserable.
Mr. Zhao also said: "I used to repair antiques in Beijing, but I didn't have any fixed salary. They were all commissions given by customers. It's about 20,000 or 30,000 a month, not too much. You can give it as much as you want. Anyway, I'm planning to stay here for the time being, just take care of food and accommodation."
Chen Zhengqian was amused and crying, but he didn't expect that the two old seniors' requirements were so low.
To be honest, the salary is really hard to settle. At their level, they basically don’t rely on their salary to live. If they like something, buy it back at a low price and sell it at a high price, it will be much more profitable than working.
Chen Zhengqian smiled and said, "Then I will give you two a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan each month, and then I will give you two an antique as a meeting gift. In addition, how about giving two people a big red envelope at the end of the year?"
This monthly salary is actually not too high, but since the two seniors themselves ask for it and Chen Zhengqian is asking for it, of course he has to give some sincerity.
Giving one antique to him is nothing to him. As for what kind of antique to choose, they will naturally be able to be sensible.
Mr. Zhao shook his head: "There is no need for a meeting gift. There is no reason why you should pay your boss before you start working."
Mr. Yu also refused and said, "But I hope that if we encounter something we like and think it is valuable, you can help buy it. The money you spend is naturally yours. Just put it in this house and let us see it."
Chen Zhengqian naturally agreed to this small request. He didn't come here often, and there were two old men who helped him take care of it, but he still couldn't ask for it.
"In addition, if possible, I don't care if I sell the ordinary ones, but it's best to keep some of the best-quality ones. Even if I have to sell them, it's not too late to sell them after a few years." Old man Yu said with a request.
Chen Zhengqian naturally agreed, of course he would not be so stupid that he sold the best ones, and he is not short of money now.
In this way, the two old gentlemen lived in Chen Zhengqian.
Zhang Zijie helped buy two sets of bedding and daily necessities, and also bought some daily necessities and furniture, which at least made the two old men feel more comfortable living.
In this way, Mr. Zhao lived here for a long time. Mr. Yu sometimes went home to check in and sometimes rested here.
As for Chen Zhengqian himself, he was idle. Occasionally, he sent a few pieces of porcelain or small items picked up by treasure hunters, and there was nothing else to do.
It was soon the day for graduation defense.
For Chen Zhengqian, graduation defense is not difficult, just to go through the procedure.
What is really important is that the graduation thesis is written well and it is enough to pass the test. Anyway, he does not plan to get any excellent graduation thesis or excellent graduates.
The defense was conducted in order. He was divided into classroom 415 on the 4th floor, the second to last in the corridor, with a total of 20 students, and he was in the middle.
Chen Zhengqian was not in a hurry, so he sat in the back row and watched one of the students of the same grade defending first. Some were criticized by the defense tutors, while others passed easily.
There were two classmates in his class who defended him in the same classroom, but the order was different, and they were all behind him.
It's Chen Zhengqian's turn soon...
