Chapter 416 Solution!!!
"Miss You Like Rain" private restaurant.
After Zhuang Zhou parked the car, he met Meng Tianxiang walking in carrying a bag.
"Director Meng?"
Zhuang Zhou locked the car, walked up to them and said hello.
Meng Tianxiang turned his head and saw that it was Zhuang Zhou, then he smiled faintly:
"We're just having a private meal, so don't call me by my title. Follow Meng Xuan and call me!"
If I follow Meng Xuan and call you dad, then I have to call you dad!
Zhuang Zhou nodded: "Okay! Then I'll call you Uncle Meng?"
"Row!"
Meng Tianxiang responded and walked in with Zhuang Zhou.
The decoration is simple and the area is shaded by green plants.
This location is in a metropolis with tall buildings.
There is a place that feels like a paradise.
"I heard from Meng Xuan that you have also invested in this place?"
Zhuang Zhou did not hide it:
"Yes, I mainly provide some mountain products and ingredients."
The two chatted as they walked, and when they entered the store, Zhang Fei directly arranged a quiet private room for them.
Convenient for chatting.
After making some tea, Zhang Fei went back to work.
Meng Tianxiang picked up the teacup and took a sip before asking:
"Tell me, how did you get those twelve golden dragons?"
Zhuang Zhou joked:
"Uncle Meng, I want to say that those twelve golden dragons are actually imitations that I bought from an old collector. Do you believe me?"
Meng Tianxiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
"You said those twelve golden dragons were imitations?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled lightly and nodded:
"Yes, Uncle Meng.
In fact, those twelve golden dragons are not real antiques.
Instead, it was made by a skilled imitator.
The craftsmanship of this master is so exquisite that it is almost indistinguishable from the real thing. "
Now we have to say that this is a counterfeit.
As long as it is clearly an imitation and sold as a handicraft, it is not illegal.
Meng Tianxiang nodded to show his understanding.
He picked up the teacup, blew on the tea leaves gently, and asked:
"If it is clearly a replica of a work of art, then it is naturally not a prohibited cultural relic.
But, have you asked someone to do an appraisal?"
Zhuang Zhou smiled bitterly:
"Uncle Meng, let me tell you the truth.
I bought those twelve golden dragons simply because I liked them and thought they had collectible value.
As for the appraisal, I didn’t do it.”
Meng Tianxiang sighed:
"You, are so careless.
How can you buy something like this without getting it appraised first?
But then again, I also saw the promotional pictures of Christie’s twelve golden dragons on the Internet.
It looks exquisite at first sight, no wonder you are attracted to it. "
Zhuang Zhou quickly agreed:
“Yes, when I first saw them, I was deeply attracted to them.
The simple and elegant atmosphere seems to be able to travel through time and space, allowing me to feel the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients. "
It's just bullshit anyway!
Meng Tianxiang smiled and didn't continue the topic.
He asked instead:
“So how are you going to handle this?
After all, your twelve golden dragons are now considered cultural relics that cannot be photographed. If you don’t handle them properly, you may get into trouble.”
Zhuang Zhou pondered for a moment and said:
"I don't really understand this either. Does Uncle Meng have any good suggestions?"
Meng Tianxiang said:
"If these are just imitations, I suggest you first find a professional appraisal agency to appraise the twelve golden dragons and prove that they are not prohibited cultural relics."
Zhuang Zhou nodded: "Okay, Uncle Meng!"
Meng Tianxiang said again:
"But you have to be careful. You have to find a reliable appraisal agency, and they must issue a qualified handicraft certificate."
Zhuang Zhou said gratefully:
"Thank you Uncle Meng for reminding me. I know what to do now."
The two chatted for a while.
Zhuang Zhou also mentioned that he would go to the Municipal Bureau at 2 pm to cooperate with the investigation.
Meng Tianxiang was a little surprised when he heard this:
“You want to go to the Municipal Bureau to cooperate with the investigation?
Is it about the twelve golden dragons?"
Zhuang Zhou nodded.
Meng Tianxiang pondered for a moment and said:
“It seems that this matter has become a bit serious.
Let’s put it this way, let the Cultural Relics Bureau handle the identification.
But you need authorization to transport the twelve golden dragons back to Qingdu first."
"no problem!"
Anyway, it can’t be auctioned now, so there’s no need to keep it at Christie’s.
Transport it back to Qingdu first and identify it later.
Moreover, Meng Tianxiang's words also reminded him.
It is necessary to have an appraisal agency appraise the twelve golden dragons as soon as possible.
Prove that they are just imitations, not banned cultural relics.
Only in this way can we completely get rid of this trouble.
Now there is finally a solution to the problem.
Zhuang Zhou felt warm in his heart and thanked him quickly:
"Uncle Meng, thank you."
As they were talking, Meng Xuan came in in a hurry.
When she saw Zhuang Zhou talking and laughing with her father, she was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
"Come on, take a seat! The food will be served soon!"
Meng Xuan just sat down on the stool.
He stared at Zhuang Zhou and asked:
"Zhuang Zhou, tell me the truth, are you robbing a tomb?"
Zhuang Zhou was stunned at first.
Then he shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"Meng Xuan, what are you thinking about?
How could I possibly rob a tomb?"
Meng Xuan didn't believe it. She snorted and said:
"Then how do you explain the matter of the twelve golden dragons?
That's a forbidden cultural relic, how did you get it?"
"How did you know?"
Zhuang Zhou asked and then looked at Meng Tianxiang, he already understood clearly.
"how?"
Meng Xuan said very dissatisfiedly:
"If I don't ask my dad, are you still going to hide it from me?"
"Isn't this because I'm worried about you?"
Zhuang Zhou sighed and told Meng Xuan the whole story.
He stressed that the golden dragons were just imitations and he was not involved in any illegal activities.
After hearing this, Meng Xuan looked at him doubtfully:
"Is what you said true?
Are those twelve golden dragons really imitations?"
"It's true."
Zhuang Zhou nodded:
"Uncle Meng is here too. He will help me find an appraisal agency to conduct the appraisal."
Meng Tianxiang also spoke:
"Xiao Xuan, Zhuang Zhou has agreed to transport the twelve golden dragons back to Qingdu for identification.
I believe he is not the type of person who would do anything illegal.”
Meng Xuan finally felt relieved:
"That's good. Zhuang Zhou, if you dare to lie to me, I won't forgive you!"
Zhuang Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only nod his head in agreement.
at this time.
Zhang Fei pushed the door open and walked in, followed by several waiters, carrying exquisite dishes.
Zhang Fei laughed and said:
"The dishes are all here, enjoy! I'm still busy!"
After saying this, Zhang Fei went back to his work.
The three of them began to eat, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
Zhuang Zhou was enjoying the food while chatting with Meng Tianxiang.
Meng Xuan would interject from time to time.
Although there was still a hint of blame in his words.
But Zhuang Zhou could already feel her concern.
After dinner, Zhuang Zhou saw Meng Tianxiang off.
I glanced at the time and it was already half past one.
We have to rush to the Municipal Bureau.
Meng Xuan noticed that Zhuang Zhou seemed to have something urgent to do, so she asked:
"what happened?"
Zhuang Zhou didn't plan to hide it from her anymore, so he just told her.
Meng Xuan was shocked when she heard this:
"What has happened to you?"
"No, just summoned to understand the situation."
"Then let me go with you!"
"Aren't you going to watch the store this afternoon?"
"I've already hired a store manager, so I don't need to be on duty all the time."
"Wow! They're hiring a store manager. The business is really big now!"
"Stop teasing me and go away!"
