Chen Xiaoyan carefully checked the payment in the lower left corner and looked at her grandfather blankly.

Chen Yucai also shook his head.

"I also searched for a long time to know which artist's pen and ink, but unfortunately I didn't find it for a long time, only a row of time and the name of the painting and painting.

"The time of the above payment is the beginning of the first year of Baoyuan.

"Baoyuan is the year name of Zhao Zhen of Song Renzong, that year, the imperial examination was greatly promoted, and there were 500 famous Jinshi who passed the Guang Provincial Examination, and at that time, perhaps the imperial examination was also a channel for many people to take a shortcut. ”

It's a pity that such a perfect painting is not signed, which is a bit of a pity.

After listening to her grandfather's words, Chen Xiaoyan swept away her doubts, and suddenly thought of something, so she stepped forward and said to her grandfather.

"That Cheng Lao also invited you to have time to sit in that small fishing village and wanted to talk to you. ”

"Well, I must go to this, even if my old bones are broken up by this road, I will go to meet the overseas Chinese compatriots. Xiaoyan, I'll leave this matter to you to arrange. ”

After Chen Yucai finished speaking, he turned to Zhuo Feng again.

"Xiaofeng, in this matter, you have the most credit. Take a look, what kind of remuneration do you want, I'll come to the group to solve it. ”

Zhuo Feng hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no. Old Chen, you've already talked about it. Chen Xiaoyan and Hanwa also have a lot of credit in this, without the information they gathered, we would not have been able to contact the two elders so smoothly. If it weren't for Hanwa's bravery, we wouldn't be so safe and sound.

"Besides, I am also a member of the group, so it is natural for me to contribute to the group. How can you ask for a reward? ”

Chen Yucai shook his head lightly.

"If I told you the value of the calligraphy and paintings that appear here and are spliced together, would you still refuse?"

Chen Yucai asked.

"No matter how much this calligraphy and painting is worth, I also learned a little bit of fur appreciation knowledge under the leadership of Chen Lao, and this calligraphy and painting is just a plain thing for me. Its value can only be presented in the hands of those who can appreciate it. ”

Zhuo Feng replied.

Chen Yucai saw Zhuo Feng say this, smiled and nodded. This afterlife is terrifying, and it seems that his previous doubts about this afterlife are superfluous, so he nodded affirmatively.

"Even if you don't want to be paid, Zhang Hehai, who got the information first, should be paid. ”

Chen Yucai has always rewarded his subordinates for meritorious work and punished for mistakes, so as to form a good system and make employees motivated.

"Old Chen, I think so, do you know if it's feasible?

"Originally, the half of the calligraphy and painting, we bought it back and spent 300,000 yuan. If this half of the calligraphy and painting alone is concerned, its value may not exceed 1 million.

"But now we have the other half of the calligraphy and paintings.

In this way, when two half-character paintings are put together into one, then its value increases exponentially.

"Of course, the cost of this repair should also be included in the middle.

"Then let's calculate the value of the calligraphy and paintings in the auction last year, which is equivalent to 10 million yuan. I don't want my share, the previous Zhang Niu Hai also said, as long as one-tenth, then give him 300,000 as a reward like this, do you think it is feasible?"

Chen Yucai still held his beard and thought about it.

"Okay. Just as you said, give him a reward of 300,000. But also tell him not to talk nonsense outside, he has been in this industry for so long, and he should understand. ”

"Okay. So I called him and told him about it. ”

Zhuo Feng nodded, took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Niuhai, and after the phone was connected, he told him about the reward in detail.

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Niuhai was really surprised by this huge reward, he couldn't imagine that he could get so much compensation just by providing information, and he didn't make any contribution. Regarding the matter of keeping secrets, Zhang Niuhai is very aware of the rules of the industry, and he agreed.

"Xiaofeng, in this way, if you have nothing to do, go back to school first. After the check is issued by the group here, I will ask Xiaoyan to bring it to your school, and then ask you to transfer it to Mr. Niu Hai.

"Oh yes.

"Look at my memory, it's true that the older a person gets, the easier it is to forget things.

"Maybe you won't be able to go back to school for a while.

"Last time, Liu Yuhui, the general manager of Chengyu Ruize Jewelry Co., Ltd., where you stored the ancient costumes, called yesterday and said that there is a spring auction to be held in Shanghai in about ten days.

"We are currently soliciting antiquities for lots, and I would like to ask Xiaofeng if you are interested in taking out one or several pieces of clothing to participate in the auction.

"Of course, during this period, Chengyu Jewelry will take out the auctioned clothing for you to do appraisal, and issue the appraisal materials required for the auction.

"But there may be some fees charged after the auction is successful, why don't you two go to Chengyu Jewelry to learn about the situation and finally negotiate?"

"Well, okay, thank you for telling me. It's just that Miss Chen Xiaoyan may be troublesome again, running around at both ends. ”

Zhuo Feng said modestly.

"When I was the assistant to the president, I was used to running around for the contract, not for the project. It's okay. Hehe. ”

Chen Xiaoyan smiled faintly.

"Young people should run in more together and experience things together, so that the two can understand each other better and handle things more organized. ”

Chen Yucai looked at the two descendants and said earnestly.

"Grandpa, you're so bad. ”

Chen Xiaoyan blushed and walked out of the room first.

Due to the particularity of Chen Xiaoyan's identity, Chen Tao specially prepared a business car for his daughter to use in the entire urban area, and transferred a full-time driver and bodyguard to be waiting at any time.

The two came to the building by car, Chen Xiaoyan asked the driver to park the car in the parking lot and wait for them, and she and Zhuo Feng went to Chengyu Jewelry Company.

On the way here, Chen Xiaoyan talked to Liu Yuhui on the phone, so when they came to the front desk of the company, the beautiful woman surnamed Wang who received them last time took them directly to the general manager's office.

"Xiao Wang, you go make two cups of coffee first. ”

Liu Yuhui commanded.

Then Xiao Wang withdrew, and after a while, he made two cups of coffee and put them in front of Zhuo Feng and Chen Xiaoyan, exited the office and closed the door.

"Let's get straight to the point, I'll have a meeting later. ”

Liu Yuhui said directly.

"Uncle Liu is really temperamental, quick to talk. We came here this time to discuss with Uncle Liu the issue of the appraisal fee for this garment. ”

Chen Xiaoyan approvingly.

"Then let me ask you first, how many costumes are you going to take to the auction?"

Zhuo Feng lowered his head and thought about it.

"Let's only take out one piece for the time being, if the number is too much, it will be misunderstood. At the moment, I only know that this costume was collected from a friend's tattered collection, but I didn't think that there were antiquities in it. This aspect of the appraisal is up to your company. If the source of these garments is unknown, they will eventually be handed over to the state. Take one first, and then take the lady's regular garment. ”

"Mr. Zhuo Feng, otherwise, one piece of your clothes is an appraisal, and two pieces of clothing are also an appraisal. Originally, we charged a 10% fee after the auction was successful, considering that the auction house also charged a 10% fee after the auction was successful. So, if you appraise two pieces and both of them are auctioned, how about we only charge 5% of the price? If the auction is not successful, we only charge 10% of the starting price, what?"

Liu Yuhui took a step back, which undoubtedly saved Zhuo Feng a lot of money.

Chen Xiaoyan thought about it, nudged Zhuo Feng with her hand, and felt that this condition was feasible.

Zhuo Feng thought for a while, looked up and asked Liu Yuhui, "This collection of antiquities, you don't have to tell who the owner is, right?"

"Well, it seems like it works. In the past, there were owners who didn't want others to know who provided the antiques, and then the auction would follow the agreement to keep the antiques confidential from the owners. This is possible, do you want to participate in the auction anonymously?"

"Well, I would like to anonymously offer antiquities to the auction, but I would also like to be there in person. I wonder if Mr. Liu can arrange it?"

Liu Yuhui thought for a while and said: "In this case, our company will provide antiquities for the auction on your behalf, only in a form, the actual owner of the item, and the owner of the final payment of the auction is still you." After all, we have been working with the Chen Group for so many years, please rest assured.

"Then you have to come to the auction in person, so to speak, I will arrange for you and your eldest niece to go in as a bidder. But to put it mildly, you can't bid a good price for your antiquities in it and maliciously bid up the bidding price. Your every move is against the law. ”

Zhuo Feng nodded and agreed to Liu Yuhui's conditions, signed the contract, and Zhuo Feng went to the compartment with the head of the finance department and the head of the security department to take out two antiquities and handed them to the head of the finance department.

One of these two antiquities was the original regular dress of noble ladies, and the other was the cotton coarse clothes worn by ordinary women in the Qing Dynasty.

The rest of the work was handed over to the senior appraiser of their appraisal department to complete, and Zhuo Feng had nothing to do at hand, so he said goodbye to Chen Xiaoyan and returned to school.
