Chapter 239: Outside the Treasure Hunt (Part I)

"Boss, why did you change into this outfit?"

Forrest Gump was a little uncomfortable with his dressing.

Recently, he has become accustomed to the previous suit and sunglasses, and now he suddenly wears back to the peasant outfit, which is really a little uncomfortable. In the past month, especially the last time he visited Xu Lao in Xiangyuzhai, Forrest Gump quickly entered the circle of life and obtained a stable job with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan. That's not all, he followed everything he ate and lived in when he traveled, and his living standard was many times more nourishing than the previous days of migrant workers.

Zhou You's sudden move gave Forrest Gump a certain sense of crisis.

Li Dazhi knew that Zhou You would not be lost, and gave Forrest Gump a steady look.

Zhou You said: "I wanted to leave you at home to watch the baby, but suddenly I thought that there were some interesting things that you needed to handle, so I let you dress like this." ”

Dazhi thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Does the boss want to intercept the expert's Hu first?"

Zhou You nodded slightly.

If you wait for the collectors who come to verify the collection to give it an expert appraisal, then what chance is there to pick up the leaks? Although Zhou You is not very looking forward to a treasure hunt, since he wants to open a world-class museum, he must take precautions and seize every opportunity to collect more and better antiques and artworks to enrich the museum.

Of course, Zhou You, as a treasure expert this time, can't come forward at will, so he must use a little trick to avoid some unnecessary embarrassment.

They parked at a distance and saw that the recording team was busy working, and a considerable number of people had gathered outside the square of the Cultural Palace, many of whom were standing under the large parasols provided by the Cultural Palace to communicate, and some even showed off their collections from time to time.

"We're not late!"

Zhou You saw this scene and thought he was late.

Dazhi replied: "Boss, we didn't come late, because everyone's enthusiasm was too high, so we just came early." ”

Zhou You nodded and replied: "Those experts haven't come yet, so I guess the time hasn't come yet." You stay here for the time being, I'll go around and see if there's anything worth selling, and then I'll think about it in the long run. ”

Dazhi reminded: "Boss, if you want to use Forrest Gump's honest face, I'm afraid you have to change your clothes." I am afraid that not many people believe that he is the owner who has the money to buy such clothes. ”

Zhou You patted his forehead and said, "Look at me, how serious the confusion is." ”

Zhou You immediately made an assignment: "You go to change clothes first, and I'll go to see the antiques, and then meet here." ”

"Okay. ”

Dazhi immediately pulled Forrest Gump, who had a vague face, towards the nearest clothing store.

Zhou You looked at this rare pair of comrades-in-arms, smiled slightly, and slowly walked forward. His first target was the bronze with the smallest number of people.

Perhaps things are gathered by like, and people are divided by groups. Collectors of bronzes gathered together and were discussing something. The arrival of Zhou You did not affect everyone, and the atmosphere of the scene was still so intense.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather collar proudly said to everyone: "I really bought this bronze at the auction house! Look here, this is an invoice and an appraisal certificate issued by the auction house, and it can't be faked. ”

"It's a real invoice!"

"What a certificate!"

Everyone looked at the two bills in the middle-aged man's hand, and they all showed surprise, but Zhou You couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this.

The bronze in the hands of the middle-aged man is a very modern imitation, although the imitation is a bit realistic, but anyone with a little vision can tell the authenticity. Just now, those collectors just thought it was a bit fake, so it caused controversy, but the middle-aged man took out two major killing weapons and really suppressed the scene.

There were so many people present, and there were still people who knew the market, and a collector who looked like the boss suddenly said: "No, the appraisal certificate presented by the auction house may not be real." I have a friend who took a piece of porcelain from the Republic of China that experts evaluated as ordinary goods, at most worth more than 10,000 yuan, and took it to the auction house. ”

Everyone's attention immediately turned to the middle-aged man.

A relatively young man suddenly raised his hand and said, "I have a friend who does it in the auction house." He said that many small auction houses are now very informal, and their companies often use false appraisals, overvaluation of collections and other tricks to deceive sellers into submitting auctions, in order to obtain high catalogue fees, appraisal fees and other handling fees. What's more, some relatively large-scale auctions have solicited sellers, and they do not hesitate to slap their swollen faces and become fat, and use their hands to make games, falsely report sky-high turnover and other means to exaggerate speculation and show off their strength. ”

Everyone gasped when they heard it.

When Zhou You heard this, he knew that there were indeed a lot of capable people present, and he really underestimated the power of folk appreciation.

Zhou You turned and left.

He had just observed that none of the bronzes among these people were outstanding treasures, and indeed two or three of them were quite valuable, but judging by their situation, it seemed that they were not candidates who lacked money and wanted to sell them, but only wanted to use them for free appraisal to satisfy their vanity.

Of course, it can't be said that there are no high-quality products.

At least when you travel around, you will see a bronze vessel that looks like a furnace. The golden-like earthy yellow color only turns green little by little because it is buried in the soil and rusty, uniform and natural, not at all like it is old, and the bronze as a whole looks thick and dignified, the inscriptions are complicated, and the patterns are rich and rich, which is definitely a rare masterpiece. The only pity is that it is relatively small, and if it can be larger, its value will definitely be incalculable. Rao is like this, and Zhou You also feels that this time the bronze finale baby is none other than it.

The reason why Zhou You did not propose to buy such a good bronze was because the bearer was wearing a high-ice jade ring full of green, which was impossible to buy without two million, and the bearer revealed a temperament that was not angry but powerful, and he was obviously an elite figure who had been in a high position for a long time.

Such a character will naturally not be short of money, and the probability of Zhou You picking up leaks is infinitely close to zero, so Zhou You finally chose to give up.

Disappointing from the bronze side, Zhou You immediately jumped to the group of collectors holding a large number of purple clay pots on the side.

The purple clay pot was a unique handmade clay handicraft in China, and its origin can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period of the Yue Guo Doctor Fan Li, which has a history of more than 2,400 years. For a long time, its value has been in the stage of being underestimated, until a purple clay pot that was auctioned for more than 10 million yuan came out, which set off a wave of purple clay pot collection fever. With the continuous bullish market of purple clay pots in the auction market, the works of famous masters are often difficult to find.

"It's hard to get in!"

Zhou You knows that the chance of picking up a leak here is relatively high, but the problem is that there are so many people present, and the atmosphere is also warm, the chance of him being able to successfully mix it in is really pitiful, let alone picking up the leak.

However, Zhou You suddenly saw a familiar person:

Han Tiancheng.

At the beginning, it was in Mingyuan Building, Zhou You picked up the first big leak in his life from his hands, and earned a considerable amount of start-up capital. Coupled with Han Tiancheng's cheerful personality, Zhou You naturally has a deep memory of Han Tiancheng.

"Han Tiancheng!"

Traveling around greets.

"It's you!"

Han Tiancheng has a good memory, and he still remembers Zhou You, and hurriedly pulled him into the circle, and asked everyone enthusiastically to introduce: "Come on, let me introduce to you, this is a very good treasure expert, surnamed Zhou Mingyou, and my original azure glazed jar was identified by him." ”

"Yo, people can't be deceitful!"

An uncle with a prickly beard looked at Zhou You in surprise, hurriedly handed over the purple clay pot in his hand, and asked very enthusiastically: "Young treasure expert, help palm your eyes, so that my old Han can have more confidence." ”

"Very good purple clay pot!"

When Zhou You saw the thing in front of him, he immediately lit up, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be Chen Mingyuan's purple clay pot!"

Chen Mingyuan is a famous hand of purple clay pot in the early Qing Dynasty, often with common chestnuts, walnuts, peanuts, water chestnuts, water chestnuts, mushrooms, water chestnuts, lotuses, frogs, etc. into the pot, the craft is finely carved, good at piling flowers and mud, making the shape of the purple sand pot more vivid, vivid, lively, so that the traditional purple sand pot has become a living sculpture artwork, full of vitality and activities. At the same time, he also invented the form of writing at the bottom of the pot and stamping the inside of the lid, which formed a fixed process in the Qing Dynasty, which had a significant impact on the development of the purple clay pot. Because Chen Mingyuan's works are brilliant and famous, a large number of imitations and fakes appear.

After hearing this, Lao Han became more and more proud, and said to the others: "I'll just say it's true, you want to say that it's an imitation of future generations." ”

One of the people who was not convinced immediately retorted: "Even Mr. Gu Jingzhou, a famous modern purple sand player, said that he learned art from a teenager to his twilight years, and he has only seen a few genuine works in more than half a century, so he specially told collectors to be especially careful to avoid losing their eyes." Even the Provincial Museum does not have a collection of Chen Mingyuan's purple clay pot, if it appears in our Mingyuan City, it will definitely cause a sensation. ”

Han Tiancheng secretly took Zhou You's hand and asked, "Zhou You, are you really sure to distinguish it?"

Zhou Yu nodded firmly.

Lao Han was also a little angry, and asked: "Mr. Zhou, I don't know if you can solve our doubts? ”

It's okay if Lao Han doesn't say it, but he really offended a lot of people when he said it.

The previous arguing person immediately fanned the flames: "Mr. Zhou, you can tell me your reasons and see if you can convince us." ”

As soon as the anger was angry, the atmosphere immediately sharpened, and Zhou You, who was caught in the middle, couldn't cry or laugh.
