Because the auction will only start tomorrow, we have to go a day early, so we simply prepared a little luggage and put it in the trunk of the car, and then followed Ou Jiayue to her several stores to 'inspect' again, arrange the work schedule or something, and Ou Jiayue also introduced me to her clerks by the way, so that I don't even know my own store in the future.

After sorting out the things here in M, we drove directly to N. City.

I have been to N City twice, once for the affairs of Zhao Sifang's daughter, and the other for the affairs of Kong Youshui Steel Factory, which is not unfamiliar.

When I was approaching the downtown area of N City, I made a phone call to Zhao Sifang, and he directly sent the address of a hotel, so we navigated there directly.

When I came to the hotel, Zhao Sifang had already answered at the door, and I took Ou Jiayue to step forward and said with a smile: "It's really troublesome to find the boss." ”

"Mr. Li is too polite, don't be so outside, we have dealt with each other twice, and you are so polite, it makes me a little embarrassed. Zhao Sifang said with a smile: "Let's go in, the meals are ready." ”

"Brother Extraordinary is here!" At this time, a girl ran out of the hotel, it was Zhao Sifang's daughter, Zhao Xinrui, she was stunned for a moment when she came out, and looked at Ou Jiayue: "Who is this?"

Zhao Sifang smiled: "This is Mr. Li's girlfriend." ”

Ou Jiayue nodded: "Hello, my name is Ou Jiayue." ”

Zhao Xinrui's face suddenly collapsed: "Ah, oh, it turns out that Brother Bufan has a girlfriend?"

I was stunned and shook my head with a smile.

Zhao Sifang was also stunned, and then laughed: "You girl, you don't know what to think every day." Alright, let's go inside. After speaking, he nodded to Ou Jiayue: "I'm sorry, my daughter is like this." ”

Ou Jiayue shook her head slightly: "It's okay." ”

The people who ate were a few of us, and after eating for a while, Zhao Sifang asked about the jade pot, so I went out and took the jade pot from the trunk of the car and handed it to Zhao Sifang.

I originally thought that he also knew a thing or two, but I didn't expect him to be a layman for this thing, only knowing that the texture of this jade was good, and I didn't know anything else, and I still need to wait until I go to the auction house to let a professional identify it.

After eating a meal, Zhao Xinrui, who was not very happy at the beginning, had already mingled with Ou Jiayue, one sister at a time, and invited each other to go shopping, Ou Jiayue also refused, anyway, today is not the day of the auction, so as soon as the meal was finished, Zhao Xinrui said to her father, and pulled Ou Jiayue to go shopping.

Zhao Sifang smiled bitterly: "I'm really embarrassed, this girl is crazy, Gai Ming'er has to let her go to work quickly, and if she continues like this, it will be delayed." ”

"It's not that old anyway. "I don't care, I'm in my early 20s, it's a good time to have fun, and it's normal to go shopping or something.

"It's not small. Zhao Sifang shook his head, and then said: "Then let's not sit here, I'll take you to the auction company, and by the way, find someone to identify the jade pot in your hand." ”

I answered and followed him out of the hotel.

Ou Jiayue's car was naturally driven by her to take Zhao Xinrui shopping, while I asked Zhao Sifang to drive straight to the auction company.

Zhao Sifang is similar to me for this auction company, because he often does not come into contact with antiques, so he will not deliberately pay attention, and I am also because of this special identity after the contact with antiques, but I understand, I have the same eyes, I can only slightly know whether the value of something is higher, but it is only a guess, the specific market value still needs to be identified by professionals.

After a while, Zhao Sifang took me to the downstairs of an auction company that looked a little larger, and when I got out of the car, I looked at the luminous font signboard erected on the roof of the building: Dolly Auction.

Zhao Sifang parked the car, came to my side and said, "It should be here, let's go, let's go in." ”

Entering the hall of the auction company, I came to the front desk for a brief consultation, and heard that we were the ones who came to send the auction, and the front desk immediately contacted a professional for us, and then took us to the living room.

"Please wait a moment, the appraiser will be there shortly. The front desk said and turned to leave.

After a while, a young man in a neat suit walked in from outside, looking about the same age as me, in his thirties, and my first impression was that this person was just an ordinary salesman.

Although I had some doubts, I didn't say it, but Zhao Sifang next to me immediately turned pale, turned his head and asked, "Are you the appraiser here?"

"Yes sir, I don't know what you need to send a photo? Please show it out for me to identify." The young appraiser was calm.

"Don't panic. Zhao Sifang whispered to me, and then turned his head to look at the appraiser sitting across from us: "How many years have you been working? Are you sure you can identify the authenticity and value?"

The appraiser said with some dissatisfaction: "Since I can become an appraiser of Dolly, it means that I have the ability to appraise, and please don't question my profession." ”

"Okay, let's take a look. Zhao Sifang nodded at me.

I took out the jade pot, put it directly on the table, pointed at it and said, "You can show me, this thing is worth something." ”

The appraiser wasn't as rude as we did, he had white gloves on his hands and a small box next to him with simple identification tools such as magnifying glasses or something.

The appraiser was a little surprised when he saw my jade pot, but it was only an instant, after all, this Dolly is also a well-known auction company in N City, and auctions are held regularly, and there should be no fewer antiques I have seen.

After just looking at it for a moment, the appraiser carefully placed the jade pot in front of me, and then packed up the things and said, "Please forgive me, I'm not good at jewelry, I'll ask my teacher to come over." ”

Zhao Sifang shrugged, a little speechless.

The appraiser left a little embarrassed, and after a while, he followed an old man in a tunic and walked in, this old man was polite, and he bowed his hand to us when he came in: "I'm sorry, I'm busy arranging tomorrow's auction over there, so I asked the apprentice to come over and take a look, I'm really embarrassed, and I ask you to bear with me." ”

I waved my hand, pointed to the jade pot on the table, and said, "Let's take a look." ”

"Hmm. The old man first put on his gloves, then carefully carried the jade to a soft tray in front of him, and then slowly flipped and checked, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised the expression on his face became.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Sifang said to me with a smile: "Maybe you are a real thing." ”

Isn't this nonsense? If this thing of mine is fake, it is worth an evil spirit to wander in it for a hundred years?

"It's really true, I know that, but I just don't know the value. I smiled.

The old appraiser muttered as he watched, and seemed to have taken care of teaching his apprentices, but he didn't make me wait too long.

"There is no doubt that the thing is true, I am not sure of the age, at least there is nothing wrong with the thing from 220 years ago, but it will not be more than 400 years old, and the specific situation needs to be further analyzed, but the approximate value should be estimated now. The old man pondered for a moment, then looked up and reported a number: "3 million." ”

Zhao Sifang raised his eyebrows, pointed to the jade pot that was bigger than a slap and said, "You're not joking with me, are you?" 3 million? 3 million I'm afraid you can't even buy such a piece of jade, right?

The appraiser smiled: "3 million is just the starting price, and it has not been determined for the time being, according to my observation just now, there seem to be some impurities inside this jade, the surroundings are indeed very good, I still need to observe carefully, if you decide to go to tomorrow's auction, I will set a suitable starting price for it." ”

"Oh, that's it. Zhao Sifang nodded and looked at me.

I said, "Okay, is that going to be stored with you for the time being?"

"This is natural, we will give you a price I quoted just now as insurance, and you need to sign an auction contract, you better not touch this money, if there is an accident with the things deposited with us, this money is part of the compensation, and there is also a part of the contract will be written clearly, rest assured, our Dolly Auction Company only earns service fees, and the rest of the money does not earn, and the items deposited with us have not been lost. The old man said very seriously.

"Okay, according to what you say, take the contract, I'll see. I answered.

Soon the two contracts were placed in front of me, and Zhao Sifang also took one and looked at it.

The contract is very simple, only everything related to the consignment items is written, and it is only two pieces of A4 paper, the terms are written very clearly, and the compensation method is also very intimate.

"Nothing is a problem. "Zhao Sifang gave me advice from the perspective of a businessman.

Actually, I don't care if they hack my stuff at all, if you have the ability, you can take it, as long as you are not afraid of lying down and not getting up.

I signed the name, put away the contract, and soon I received a sum of 3 million in cash, and the rest is to wait until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to come over and participate in the monthly auction.

After leaving the auction venue, I called Ou Jiayue, she had just started shopping, and she seemed to be quite happy, so I asked her and Zhao Xinrui to continue shopping, and I just found something to do for myself.

Zhao Sifang saw that I had nothing to do, so he proposed to play mahjong or something to kill time, and go to eat hot pot together at night, I naturally would not shirk when I was in a panic, so Zhao Sifang began to contact people who could come over to play cards to go to his house to gather, and I also sent a message to Ou Jiayue, so that she would follow Zhao Xinrui directly home after shopping.

I have seen all the card friends called by Zhao Sifang, one is Kong Youshui, one is Li Yi's beauty, the first time Zhao Sifang called them to come over and have dinner together, and got to know each other, and then this hole has water and can be regarded as finding me to solve the trouble.

An hour later, at Zhao Sifang's house, on the edge of the automatic mahjong table, the four of us had already sat down.

Li Yi looked at me with a smile: "I said that my brother has forgotten his sister? ”

Kong Youshui laughed and gave me a thumbs up: "I don't know much, but I really have real skills!"

Zhao Sifang laughed and said what I was going to auction tomorrow, and Li Yi suddenly became interested: "Jade pot?"

I nodded: "That's right, a solid jade jug, about the same size as an ordinary wine jug, it should be jade, right? I don't know much about it, anyway, I sent it to the auction company, and the auction will start tomorrow morning." ”

Kong Youshui: "Then I must go to the party, and it's okay to raise the price for Mr. Li." ”

Zhao Sifang was embarrassed: "Don't mess around, don't sell it, don't bid blindly, and finally fall into your hands and smash you for a while It's funny." ”

"I buy it, I like jade very much. Li Yi's eyes lit up, "Otherwise, Brother Bufan, don't sell it, just give me a price and sell it to me, right?"

I smiled and waved my hand: "Don't, I've signed this contract, I want to buy it and go to the scene tomorrow to see it, the price won't be too low." ”

"Okay, okay, let's call you two to play cards, not to talk about business, come on, let's talk about rules." Zhao Sifang waved his hand and said.

"It's a guest from afar, Mr. Li said. Kong Youshui said with a smile.

I scratched my hair, "I haven't played in a long time, and I don't know what the rules are, how do you usually play?"

"Oh, it's usually just a mess, one hundred two hundred and three hundred pots, you can put a few chips if you want, but generally don't exceed three, it's a little too big. Zhao Sifang said with a smile.

I listened to the cold sweat at the end, one hundred and two hundred three hundred? I went to go, I used to play five pieces and ten pieces and fifteen yuan by myself, and I felt that it was a big thief, but now this span is ...... But think about it, the three people here are all bosses, and it's not too much to spend more than 100 yuan as a pot.

So I said, "Okay, then come as you normally would, and I'll do as the locals do." ”

"Hey, then don't wait, let's get started. Kong Youshui took two stacks of money directly from his pocket and put them in the small drawer in front of him.

Seeing this, Li Yi also went to the big few thousand from his wallet: "I have little cash today, and I won't have enough cash for you for a while." ”

Zhao Sifang also took tens of thousands of yuan from the house and threw me two stacks casually: "You can use this money." ”

"Don't. "I don't have the habit of taking advantage of others, and I still have his account, so I immediately transferred 20,000 yuan: "What should I do, otherwise this mahjong won't lose its meaning." ”

"Yes, yes, what Brother Extraordinary said is right, you can't just give people money just because you have money. Li Yi glanced at Zhao Sifang.

Zhao Sifang smiled bitterly: "Hey, it's hard to get a little favor, yes, that's not enough, you can transfer it to me." ”

"Oh, Lao Zhao, look at what you say, Mr. Li will definitely lose. Kong Youshui took over the conversation and said with a smile.

Between the words, the mahjong machine has been out of the cards, and our game will be opened......
