That night, Meng Zitao and Shu Ze stayed in the clubhouse.

After breakfast the next day, Shu Ze answered the phone and walked out of the club with Meng Zitao, in addition, there was an extra bodyguard by their side, which shows that Shu Ze didn't have much bottom about where he was going today.

After a while, a business vehicle stopped in front of the clubhouse. Then, a young man who looked delicate got out of the co-pilot.

The young man first greeted Shu Ze warmly, and then introduced himself, saying that his nickname was Changmao, and everyone called him that.

Looking at the long hair and short hair, everyone was a little puzzled by how he called this nickname. However, everyone didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so they didn't ask too much.

Long hair opened the car door, please enter. Then I drove.

The place where Meng Zitao and the others sat was very tightly covered, and they basically couldn't see the situation outside.

At this time, Shu Ze said to Changmao, who was sitting in the back row: "I said Changmao, isn't it superfluous for you to do this in these years?"

Long Mao asked a little strangely, "Shu Shao, I don't know what you mean by this?"

Shu Ze sneered: "It's very simple, this year's mobile phone has the function of automatic positioning and navigation, what do you mean by doing this?"

Long Mao was stunned, then took out his mobile phone, opened it and looked at it: "Mine is not auto-positioned." ”

Shu Ze looked back and found that the other party was still using a model from four or five years ago, so he said: "It's strange that you have automatic positioning, and you want to buy a new smart phone." ”

Longhair shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

That being said, he still took Shu Ze's words to heart. And then he said, "Honestly, we're really doing it as much as we can. If you really want to meet someone with great powers, no matter how much you prepare, it's useless. ”

Shu Ze smiled. And don't want to talk about it anymore.

At this time, Meng Zitao asked, "What other rules do you have over there?"

Long Mao looked at Meng Zitao a little strangely, and then suddenly said, "I'm sorry, I forgot that Shu Shao went for the first time." In fact, we don't have any rules, that is, everyone bids secretly. ”

"Hidden bidding?" Meng Zitao and Shu Ze were a little puzzled, how could there be a hidden bidding in this antique business.

Long Hairy smiled and said, "Do you two know about the Jade Princess?"

Shu Ze immediately reacted: "You won't be a bidding form for the jade public market, right?"

Long Mao said: "Yes, we are engaged in the form of a hidden mark for the jade public plate. ”

The secret bid of the jadeite public market is for the bidder to fill in the number issued to the bidder by the organizing committee, the name of the bidder, the number of the bidder and the bidding price on the bidding form, and put it into the bid box marked with the number of the bidder. Because bidders do not know each other's bids and bidding prices, it is called "hidden bidding".

Shu Ze asked with some curiosity: "Why did you think of using the shape of the dark mark, and didn't you think of using the clear mark?"

Long Mao said with a smile: "Shu Shao, to be honest with you, we have everything there, and the authenticity depends on our respective eyesight." If you use the shape of the auction, everyone will follow the trend, which is not conducive to the transaction of things, and the dark bid can reduce this probability. ”

Shu Ze said: "I think there is a problem. Just ask someone if they don't. ”

Long Mao smiled: "The key is that not everyone has connections like Shu Shao and you." In addition, the transaction price of the hidden bid is not necessarily lower than that of the open auction, and we are not an auction after all. The form of dark mark is still more suitable. ”

Meng Zitao nodded secretly, because no one knew how much someone had voted, it was easy to give his own psychological price. If you come across something you like, you must get it. It's also normal to add a little more.

In this case, the organizer should not lose.

A few more questions were asked. The carriage was quiet, everyone closed their eyes and recuperated, and it took more than an hour to reach their destination.

After getting out of the car, everyone found that they had come to a deserted wilderness, and there was nothing around except for a few old buildings that looked like warehouses. Not to mention knowing where it is now.

Now that they are all here, although Shu Ze wants to know where he and the others are, he still endures it and does not open his mobile phone to check.

The group followed Longhair to the door of the warehouse, and was stopped by two security guards at the door.

At this time, Shu Ze took out the invitation card that had been prepared a long time ago, handed it over, the other party checked that it was correct, and asked Changmao to sign a notebook, which allowed Meng Zitao and others to enter.

Walking into the warehouse, Meng Zitao saw that a warehouse was put on a lot of tables, and the tables were full of all kinds of antiques.

In addition to a lot of antiques, there are already a lot of people in the warehouse, looking at the costumes, many of them look like they are either rich or expensive, and some of them look like people in the antique shop.

One by one, they stood in front of each antique, carefully judging the authenticity and value of the things, some frowning, some with joy on their faces, and more quietly waiting for the results of the appraiser to be brought.

Just as Meng Zitao and Shu Ze were also about to join these people, Changmao gave them paper and pens and a label, and said with a smile: "Shu Shao, I'm at the door, if you need anything, just say hello." Also, we have dinner at 12 o'clock and the deadline for bidding at 1 o'clock, so I hope you don't remember wrong. Finally, I wish you a great return today. ”

"Got it......"

Shu Ze waved his hand, and walked with Meng Zitao to the nearest antique, and said as he walked: "Let's find that seal first, how about it?"

Meng Zitao said, "Then why didn't you ask just now?"

Shu Ze smiled: "If I ask, they may do some tricks, I don't want to have anything to do with them." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Aren't you hiding your ears and stealing the bell? When you make a bid, won't they do it?"

Shu Ze handed the bid list to Meng Zitao: "You haven't read the bid list yet, each of the bid lists has a stub that can be torn off, so everyone doesn't know who voted for it, how can you do it?"

Meng Zitao took the label and looked at it, and found that it was really like this, which surprised him: "Why did they do this?"

Shu Ze said: "Maybe this is to show a fair attitude, after all, the people who can come here are all small and wealthy, although they like preferential treatment, but when it is their turn, they must hate others to get preferential treatment." In this way, the organizers have shown a fair attitude, and everyone will be somewhat relieved. ”

Meng Zitao said: "In this case, won't you go and ask about long hair?"

Shu Ze smiled: "Do you think this will be really fair? If you really want to do tricks, I can think of several ways." However, for me, I just want them to have this attitude, sugar-coat and shoot back the shells. ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Then let's look at it one by one, otherwise it will be too eye-catching to run to that seal at the beginning." ”

Shu Ze said: "That makes sense, by the way, are we looking at each other or separately?"

Meng Zitao shrugged his shoulders: "Whatever you want, I don't care." ”

Shu Ze said: "Then let's look at it separately, so as not to waste time." ”

"Row ......"

Shu Ze chose to set off to the right, and Meng Zitao walked to the left.

After looking at more than a dozen things along the way, Meng Zitao found that the things here are also good and bad, the good ones can reach the best of the treasures, and the bad ones are imitations, although they are not worthless, but they are not much stronger.

After looking at a few more pieces, Meng Zitao found the seal that Shu Ze cared about.

This seal is carved with green jade, the seal button is a turtle, the dragon's head turtle body, the eyes are horizontal, the sharp teeth are slightly exposed, the four feet are close to the ground, there is a big leap to pounce on the enemy's posture, the carving is exquisite, the knife is the old man's road, the feather is delicately carved, lifelike, and the seal is engraved with the inscription "The Chapter of the Scholar of the Baohe Temple" is neatly carved.

The identification of seals requires the identification of materials, carvings, etc., so Meng Zitao took out tools to begin to identify materials.

Khotanese green jade is the largest component of Hetian jade, and its material composition is similar to that of white jade, among which some delicate green jade has better toughness. Green jade is from light cyan to dark cyan, and there are many types of colors, such as light blue, dark blue, turquoise, gray blue, dark gray blue, and so on.

Khotanese green jade has some advantages of high density, high oiliness and few impurities. However, the current market price of this jade is not high, which may be related to the fact that jade lovers now like to collect white and Khotanese jade.

In the current jade world, many people do not value jade quality, oiliness and other factors, but think that the whiter the material, the better, and the white material means that it is a good Hetian jade, on the contrary, if the color of the material is blue, it is not valuable.

Everyone has their own hobbies, but for Mencius, he thinks this is a misunderstanding of collecting and Khotanese jade.

Take another high-grade jade jadeite as an example, at the earliest people only paid attention to whether the color of the jadeite was bright green, and ignored the germplasm and water head of the jadeite, but now the price of white high ice or glass jadeite has risen again and again. People's understanding is slowly being pulled back to the origin of reason.

Therefore, he feels that although the price of raw materials such as Khotanese green jade or green and white jade is not high now, there is still a lot of room for growth in the future. Of course, there are also relatively large investment opportunities in this.

To get back to the point, if you want to identify whether it is green jade, it is not difficult to arrive.

First of all, green jade has a good density, strong oiliness, and is a jade aggregate of a variety of minerals

Secondly, its appearance looks oily, showing a mild jade luster, put it on the hand to weigh the weight will feel very pressing, there is a certain weight, just like this seal in the hands of Meng Zitao, the jade is dense and warm, the start is thick, just the feeling of starting knows that the material is very outstanding.

If there are conditions, it is best to do a hardness identification, the hardness of Khotanese jade is about 6.5, which is only about 0.5 lower than the hardness of jadeite, so it is a very hard jade, and it is immovable to scratch the surface of Hetian jade with a knife.

However, on this occasion, Meng Zitao is definitely not suitable for this, otherwise something will go wrong, and it will be unreasonable. (To be continued.) )
