C574

Zhu Kejin's grandfather is a scholar. He is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the strange thing is that he didn't go to court as an official. Instead, he relied on his family's shadow to open an antique shop in Liulichang in the capital at that time. With his continuous operation, he became the first antique dealer in Liulichang in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, Zhu Kejin's father inherited his grandfather's mantle, He continued to run an antique shop,

since 1860, when the British and French allied forces set fire to Yuanmingyuan, countless rare treasures in the Imperial Palace have been scattered among the people. Even in the early Republic of China, Emperor Puyi, who was kept in the Forbidden City by warlords, was constantly pouring objects out. Therefore, in those chaotic years, Zhu Kejin's grandfather and father took this opportunity to receive many good objects, There are even several treasures that can be handed down.

Because of his profound family knowledge, Zhu Kejin's father can not only cite classics to tell his heritage, but also quote extensively about his historical origins, making him the most famous collector and expert in antique identification in Beijing before the founding of new China.

It's said that young commander Zhang Xueliang had asked his father to identify his calligraphy and painting, and even bought "spring palace painting" and "sexual health preserving technique" from his father's hands. Only by using the technique in the house can he live to 100 years old.

Later, because of the war, in order to save the lives of the whole family, Zhu Kejin's father resolutely closed the antique shop and went back to the countryside to escape the war. It was not until the 1950s that he came to Jinling many times and finally took root.

Zhu Kejin was born in the war years. He was the son of his father. But that year, his elder brothers died one after another, which made him the only child in the family. So his father pinned almost all his hopes on him. Fortunately, he didn't disappoint his father. He was edified by his father from birth and became interested in antiques.

As time went on, in the seventies of the last century, because a sentence of a great man was misunderstood by the following people, it started the most chaotic decade in our country. In those difficult days, Zhu Kejin's father became a street mouse that everyone yelled to beat. After suffering humiliation and tribulation, he left the people. Many of the curios, calligraphy and paintings in his family were also confiscated, until later they were beaten It was not until the gang of four that his father was vindicated.

Zhu Kejin was also a smart man when he was young. Taking advantage of his father's opportunity to redress the injustice, he went to the relevant departments for many times to appeal, and recovered most of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings that had been confiscated by the family. However, because of the poor storage, many of the calligraphy and paintings and porcelain were damaged, and even could not be repaired. At that time, Zhu Kejin was distressed.

During the reform and opening up in the 1980s, Zhu Kejin, who was over 40 years old at that time, used the state compensation to become one of the first self-employed households. He rode a tricycle all day to go down the countryside to buy the old objects that had been in the past years. Because people didn't know enough about the word antique at that time, after another ten years, Zhu Kejin became a turned over farmer The big landlord of the new era.

Perhaps his father had expected that as early as the war years of the last century, he would send several family heirlooms to his old friends in Hong Kong. In the 1990s, the policy was relaxed. Zhu Kejin went to Hong Kong several times and finally found his father's old friends and tried his best to get them back.

The first thing to get his heirloom back was that Zhu Kejin auctioned two of them in Hong Kong. One of them happened to be Ru kiln porcelain from the Northern Song Dynasty, which made him the richest landlord of his time.

Since he had money, Zhu Kejin's life has been getting better and better. He doesn't have much to pursue. But because his ancestors all run antique shops, Zhu Kejin doesn't want to cut off here, so he has opened several antique shops in Jinling City. His business is not bad, and now he has become a famous old player in the domestic collection circle.

The so-called business is to buy and sell. The same is true of the business of antiques. Zhu Kejin's family background is needless to say. His eyesight can be regarded as vicious and his range of activities is extremely wide. He seldom makes eye contact with ceramics, calligraphy and painting, jade articles, inscriptions, ancient books, bronzes, and even rare miscellaneous items. He has been found missing these years There are not a few objects. Compared with Lin Xi's ability of picking up leaks, Zhu Kejin's picking up leaks is real.

It's worth mentioning that although Zhu Kejin has no bad deeds, he is stingy in his business. Although he can't be said to be only in but not out, his momentum of "buying pancakes for three cents to see how thin and thick they are" is well-known in the industry. As long as he likes things, it's OK to buy them cheaply, but if he wants to sell them cheaply, it's spring on his lips No way.

You know, over the years, there are many old objects flowing out of Zhu Kejin's hands, all of which are genuine, but the price is often no less than that of the auction house. But the objects in his hands are unique treasures, which makes many people love and hate him, and give him the nickname suohengjiang.

What is "suohengjiang"? Zhu Dunru, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote in "water dragon chant: let the boat sail thousands of miles to Lingbo": "iron lock across the river, Jinfan surfing, sun Lang's good pain", which means that iron rope across the Yangtze River, let people enter or retreat.

From this point of view, Zhu Kejin seems to be somewhat similar to Chu Yuanzhou, but Zhu Kejin is a serious antique dealer. He will never play with heresy like Chu Yuanzhou. Besides, doing business is to maximize his own interests. As long as one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, it is a fair and serious business. There is nothing wrong with Zhu Kejin's doing so.In recent years, Zhu Kejin is getting older. Like ordinary people, he has become a little "not eager to make progress". He just wants to keep his own three-thirds of an acre. He drinks tea every day when he has nothing to do. He also leaves his antique shop to others to take care of. At most, he just comes around when he has time.

According to the common sense, he should enjoy his family with a little lover. However, he appeared in this antique shop at this time because he received a call from an old friend saying that there was an object that he couldn't see and wanted to find.

As we all know, if you want to get a good eye in the antique business, that's the basic skill. Otherwise, you can't get a foothold in this business. Maybe you'll be broken and bleeding. The eye in the antique business, not only depends on the things, but also on the talents. If you can't see the people, you may be sold without knowing.

Zhu Kejin has been in the field of antiques since he was a child. His eyesight is not bad. With dozens of customers in this shop, he can see at a glance which are experts, which are ordinary tourists, and which are young people who don't know how to pretend to understand.

Before Lin Xi just walked into the antique shop, Zhu Kejin didn't care too much. Although Lin Xi's clothes were OK, and Zhang Zhiyan, a beautiful woman, accompanied him, could he come out to travel these days? It wasn't until Zhou zhe spent 15000 yuan to buy the three foot bottle of imitation Ru kiln azure glaze that Zhu Kejin gradually attracted his attention.

Zhu Ke has been in the antique shop for some time, much earlier than Lin Xi. But he has been here for such a long time, but he has never seen a shop assistant make a business. However, this is also the normal way for antique shops. After all, antique shops always adhere to the saying of "either don't open, open for a year". How do you know that Lin Xi bought the imitation Ru kiln soon after they came in .

Zhu Kejin didn't pay attention to the authenticity of the imitation Ru kiln. After all, it was an antique shop in his name. He knew which one was real and which one was fake. Zhou zhe had seen the imitation Ru kiln with his own eyes before and concluded that it was a modern high imitation.

What Zhu Kejin cares about is that Zhou Zhe, who is a stupid young man, is willing to spend 15000 yuan to buy the imitation Ru kiln, which arouses his interest.

Later, he heard Lin Xi talk about the origin of Ru kiln, and what he said made him more interested, because it was rare for young people like Lin Xi to tell the origin of Ru kiln.
