Chapter 80: Solicitation
After arriving at the VIP room, Zhao Tianming first showed his treasures and placed them on the table for the appraisers of the auction house to see.
At this moment, Lu Tong did not dare to despise it. The young man in front of him has already shown his ability. The treasure he picked up should not be bad.
However, when I saw lighters, watches, etc., I was still slightly stunned.
The lighter is very simple, the structure is clear at a glance, the material is gold, and then determine the age, as well as the brand and other factors, you can basically estimate a reserve price.
However, the watch is a bit cumbersome and needs to be taken apart to identify the parts inside.
For an antique watch, the parts of the watch must be seen clearly. Many times, the parts inside are replaced, only one shell is real, and the others are shoddy.
"You can dismantle it, but don't break it. Zhao Tianming said.
He understands the rules, and people must confirm whether the internal parts are original and genuine, which is understandable!
Vice President Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhao Tianming was easy to speak, and asked the person in the auction house to open the table to start acting. Lu Tong's gaze finally fell on the ancient painting brought by Ye Qiushuang.
He put on his gloves and carefully spread out the paintings.
"The work of the Bada Shanren?" he was shocked.
Because everyone hasn't told him the situation yet, at first glance, I think it's the original work of Bada Shanren, which is completely understandable.
"Look clearly, this painting is what Qi Lao has seen. Vice President Yang said.
Just now, he secretly made a phone call to Qi Lao to inquire about the situation of the painting, and he already knew the inside story. Let Lu Tong, an appraiser from his auction house, watch it, not to let him appraise it, but to exercise his ability, let him have a long insight, and go further.
After all, if Qi Lao can't see it accurately, let alone Lu Tong's level.
"Qi Lao has seen it?" Lu Tong was shocked again.
He immediately got serious and observed it with a magnifying glass for more than ten or twenty minutes, which was much more difficult than everyone playing the game of finding fault.
"How's it going?" asked Vice President Yang.
Ye Qiushuang also wanted to see how many catties and taels this appraiser had, and he felt that he was not as powerful as Zhao Tianming.
Sure enough, Lu Tong was confused: "I'm eighty percent sure that this is the work of Bada Shanren, but there are some places that I can't see very accurately." If it is imitation, it is also the handiwork of a generation of masters. ”
He looked at Vice President Yang: "Mr. Yang, what did Old Qi say?"
"You're not as good as him!" Ye Qiushuang pointed at Zhao Tianming and said to Lu Tong.
This woman always speaks so directly, but fortunately, everyone doesn't bother with her.
"Are you right?" Lu Tong was really impressed by the young man in front of him. The grade is so young, but his ability is beyond him.
"Nonsense! The first person to see that this painting was an antique work by Zhang Daqian, it was him!"
"Zhang Daqian's antique work?" Lu Tong was dumbfounded.
He immediately set up his magnifying glass again and re-examined it. It's really Zhang Daqian's name is too big, and his antique works are quite precious. No wonder, Vice President Yang said at the beginning that this was a heavy treasure.
If true, it could be the finale of the next auction.
Ye Qiushuang was beside him, and said the flaws pointed out by Qi Lao before, otherwise he didn't know if the appraiser of the auction house could identify it.
Lu Tong followed the guidance and quickly figured out the situation.
"Admire! Admire!" he said to Zhao Tianming.
"There, I'm just lucky!" Zhao Tianming was not too proud, what people were most afraid of was getting carried away.
Vice President Yang is even more concerned about recruiting Zhao Tianming, and their auction house is supported by an appraiser from Lu Tong, which is really a bit reluctant. Lu Tong's level itself is relatively limited, and the workload is still large.
"Hypocrisy!" Ye Qiushuang pouted and said.
Zhao Tianming was too lazy to care, and he had long been accustomed to the way she spoke. This woman is not bad-hearted, but she can't control her mouth.
Vice President Yang hurriedly negotiated with Zhao Tianming about some details of the auction, got two contracts out, and said that the auction would be held at the next auction, and there would be a notice at that time, and he hoped that the two would be there.
In the end, he did not forget to recruit Zhao Tianming, and offered very superior conditions, Xinshui, or work is more attractive.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you think? If you are not satisfied, you can still discuss!" They are eager to find talents! Especially since there is a Tianhong auction house nearby, which has caused them a huge pressure.
"I don't have much time to go to work!" Zhao Tianming still declined.
"Being our advisor is almost just a nominal thing. You don't usually need to work in the auction house, only the items that the auction house can't identify will trouble you and won't take up a lot of your time. Vice President Yang refused to give up easily.
Zhao Tianming listened, and was a little moved: "Mr. Yang, let me think about it!"
"Okay, the door of our auction house is open to you at any time. Vice President Yang did not force Zhao Tianming to agree on the spot. Good things are grinding, more contact in the future, talk about friendship, and it will come naturally!
Out of the door of the auction house, Ye Qiushuang asked, "I have a message of picking treasures, do you want to hear it?"
"Tell me about it!"
Zhao Tianming was a little surprised, this woman was not a native of the provincial capital, and she seemed to be quite well-informed.
"You don't want to listen to it for free, do you?"
Zhao Tianming sweated wildly: "Otherwise, you still want me to give money?"
"I don't need to give money, but I have a small request. Ye Qiushuang said slyly. She also took a fancy to this guy's ability and felt that it was safer to take this kid with her.
"What requirements?"
"You'll have to help me identify it then. "She knows very well what level she is, half a bucket of water is not enough, and it is easy to drown herself.
Zhao Tianming thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem!"
"There is a black market transaction tomorrow, there should be a lot of treasures, and strange and strange things may also appear, let's go together!"
She has also been there two or three times, and she can't bank transfer money, so she needs to bring enough cash. In the black market, there are many treasures that have just been unearthed or even stolen, and the way may not be very legitimate anyway. However, the price is relatively low, depending on whether you have the courage to ask for it.
"Can you tell us about the specific situation?" Zhao Tianming didn't know anything about it.
Ye Qiushuang said simply, this black market is active in big cities in the Lingnan region, and there is no fixed place, and it is all given temporary notice. Held once a month, it exists for only three hours.
"Anyway, the things that are traded may not be legal, the place is secret, and the transaction can only be made in cash. I found that old painting on the black market. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Tianming was very interested: "Yes, call me in advance when the time comes." ”
If he has the opportunity to make a fortune, how can he give it up? He just doesn't touch those things that are too sensitive.
