Unfortunately, the weather is not beautiful. In the early 1990s, the state-owned companies were in good condition, even Ma laocai's company was no exception.

In addition, Ma laocai always takes advantage of the company, so he has cheated the company a few times, and the company has lost a lot of money because of his concealment. In addition, his image in the company has always been good, and no one has found out.

Anyway, although not all of the company's bankruptcy was due to Ma laocai, Ma laocai also "contributed" a large part of his strength.

Seeing that the company was ruined by itself, the company began to prepare to lay off its employees. Seeing that it was difficult for Ma laocai to take advantage of the company, he resigned under the banner of going to the sea. I didn't expect that he was praised by the boss of the company for setting an example. If he knew that Ma laocai was involved in the situation of the company at that time, I don't know how he felt.

After resigning, Ma laocai turned into a professional antique dealer. However, what made Ma laocai miscalculate was that he had made a lot of money because of his financial advantages.

However, once he quit his job and lost his previous source of funds, all his living expenses would be deducted from the profits from selling antiques. In addition, with the increase of prices and consumption, he still had his wife and children to support, so the living expenses of the whole family would become his burden.

It's true that the environment changes life. Seeing more and more daily consumption at home, Ma laocai's heart is open to money, and his unkind nature is revealed.

At the beginning, we still did business with Ma laocai as before. After several times, we found that Ma laocai had personality problems. He always wanted to make a profit everywhere. He was mean to people and couldn't make a good bid. Many people suffered losses because of this, so they didn't want to deal with him.

For example, the wife of director Nian's family suffered a loss from Ma laocai.

It was three months after Ma laocai went to the sea. Once, Mrs. Nian's family cleaned up the old house and turned out a blue and white bowl of the mid Qing Dynasty, which was also a product of palace kiln. In terms of the current market value, it should be worth more than 100000 yuan. Of course, it certainly wasn't worth that much at that time, but it could sell for 7000 yuan, which was a very good thing.

At that time, there happened to be a senior shovel in the village receiving goods. Hearing the news, he rushed to the village. After seeing the things, he said he wanted to buy them for 200 yuan.

At that time, it was very exciting to sell a bowl for 200 yuan. Besides, Nianfu's family didn't know about antiques, so they were also excited. After all, it was something handed down by their ancestors. They were reluctant to sell it for 200 yuan, so they hesitated.

The senior spade was familiar with this situation. The way to move the other party was to increase the money, so he added the money while grinding hard.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Nian's family also had a lot of brains. Seeing that the shovel kept increasing the money, they felt that they should be a good thing, so they offered 800 yuan and didn't sell any less.

Of course, ordinary shovels can't sell at the market price, but even if they only sell for 5000 yuan, it's a very good business. How can ordinary people be indifferent to such a business?

However, businessmen want to pay less. The key is that they don't have enough money. So the spade goes on grinding with Mrs. Nian's family. But Mrs. Nian's family is sure to buy the spade. Even if the other party offers 68 yuan, they don't agree.

No way, the spade told Mrs. Nian's family to wait, and then went to the shop at the head of the village, ready to call a friend to borrow money.

Just because he was anxious, he didn't speak clearly, which made Mrs. Nian's family think that he didn't want to buy, so he gave Ma laocai, who had been watching for a long time, a chance to take advantage of it.

Ma laocai went back to his hometown yesterday because of something, but he drank too much at night. When he woke up, it was very late. When he heard the news, he let the shovel take the lead, which made him so angry that he scolded his mother in his heart.

Although Ma laocai is greedy and mean, he still has to abide by some rules of the antique shop, so he can only look around and worry. When the shovel goes to make a phone call and doesn't make it clear, he jumps out and says he wants to buy it.

They are all from the village. Seeing that Ma laocai wants to buy it, Mrs. Nian's family is also very happy. They think that since they are from the village, Ma laocai will not let them suffer.

However, when talking about the price, Ma laocai's stingy temperament came out again. He offered a price of 700 yuan without saying anything, and he kept saying that the price was almost the market price. He also made a lot of money when he bought it.

Originally, Mrs. Nian's family was already impatient with the shovel. Ma laocai was 20 yuan more than the one just now. He was also a neighbor in the village. After thinking about it, he agreed. In addition, Ma laocai paid off the money immediately to avoid a long night's dream, so he was quite satisfied.

After an hour or two, the shovel borrowed money and turned it back. After that, Mrs. Nian's family said that it had been sold. Where is the letter of shovel? After a good talk, Mrs. Nian's family told the whole story.

Ma laocai is very famous in the local antique market, so when Mrs. Nian's family said this, the dealer could only sigh in his heart. It's bad luck for him. He stamped his foot and regretted it. He told people that he had not made it clear just now. In fact, he had borrowed money. Let alone 800, even if it was 200 more, he wanted something.Shovel regret, Mrs. Nian's family is also particularly uncomfortable, just believe the village people, but reality gave them a slap.

In fact, if you are less than one hundred, you will be less than one hundred. In the end, a distant relative is not as good as a neighbor. Although Mrs. Niu's family is very uncomfortable, it's not enough to say that they don't get along with Mr. Ma's family for one hundred yuan when their anger is over.

However, as an old saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world. By chance, Mrs. Nian's family learned that his blue and white bowl had been sold by Ma laocai for 6000 yuan, which made them very angry.

You say that they are all neighbors of the same village. It's understandable to earn a little money. But you can earn thousands of things, but you say that 700 can only earn a little hard money. Do you want to be shameless?

But now that it's over, if you go to Ma laocai's place to make trouble, people won't pay any attention to you. Besides, it's a village. Mrs. Nian's family thinks it's too much trouble, and the face of both sides is not good-looking. But since then, the two families have never been together again.

On the contrary, Ma laocai was quite calm about this. He didn't know what to do. If the two families didn't communicate with each other, they would not. Moreover, at that time, the position of director Nian was quite embarrassing, and Ma laocai didn't care. It was only a few months ago that he really regretted it.

In fact, Ma laocai is not only mean to sellers, but also to peers. At that time, there was the owner of an antique shop next to him, Ren Qiang. He was more straightforward, and he was happy with his friends and business. Many people like to deal with Ren Qiang.

Just as Mrs. Niu's family thought just now, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Although there are peers in the antique industry who are enemies, Ren Qiang is straightforward. In addition, when Ma laocai didn't go to the sea before, they had several contacts with each other. Therefore, they usually get along well with each other. If it's OK, Ma laocai will go to Ren Qiang's shop for tea.

In this way, it's time for the first anniversary of Ma laocai's store. At this time, Ma laocai's eyes are open to money and his unkind attitude towards people has spread. However, Ren Qiang didn't see it with his own eyes and they got along well. He didn't believe it. He thought it was someone who was jealous of Ma laocai's good business and spread it on purpose.

On this day, because of the first anniversary of the opening of his antique shop, Ma laocai thought about the year's receipt. He was very happy, so he bought some wine and vegetables, called Ren Qiang over and drank in his shop.

In this way, when they are happy, Ma laocai wants to pour wine for Ren Qiang. However, Ren Qiang refuses to say that there is an old customer who wants to transfer a piece of Wang Duo this afternoon, so he can't drink more.

Wang Duo was a second minister and painter in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. In the second year of Tianqi, he was a Jinshi, a scholar of Imperial Academy, and promoted to minister of rites. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Wang Duo was a Bachelor of Dongge University. In 1644, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, he was awarded the Minister of rites, the Bachelor of Guanhong Academy of Arts, and the prince Shaobao. He died in 1652.

Wang Duo's calligraphy is unique, known as "magic pen Wang Duo". His calligraphy is as famous as that of Dong Qichang. In the late Ming Dynasty, he was known as "the king of the South and the north". In his calligraphy, he used a pen that was regular and regular, relaxed and full of flowing freely and powerful. Wang Duo is good at cursive, writing atmosphere, vigorous free and easy, dripping happy.

Dai Minggao said in Wang Duo's caoshu poetry volume postscript: "Yuan Zhang (Mi Fu) was very cursive, but Jue Si was full of momentum. The Wei and Jin Dynasties were swept away by the wind, but the wind was very fast and the courage was beyond Zhao and Dong generation's ability."

Although Wang Duo had high attainments in calligraphy, he was listed in the biography of two ministers in history because of his downfall to the Qing Dynasty, which was criticized by later generations. Affected by this, his calligraphy was also neglected, once unknown to the world. Later, after generations of study, Wang Duo's calligraphy became more and more popular.

Ma laocai didn't expect anyone to transfer Wang Duo's calligraphy works to Ren Qiang, which made him envious.

You know, Wang Duo's calligraphy works are very popular in the market. He remembers that not long ago, a piece of Wang Duo's calligraphy fan sold by an auction house in Beijing was sold at a price of 33000 yuan. A piece of Wang Duo's calligraphy works is not worth more than 100000 yuan, especially if it is larger.

Moreover, although Ma laocai does not know how much money Ren Qiang has, he believes that, let alone 100000, even 50000 is enough. The thought that Ren Qiang could make 50000 yuan or more in a single transaction immediately made Ma laocai red eyed.
