Chapter 166: Before Begining

The next day, for the people of the Lingshi Antique Association, today is also a very important day, most of the members of the antique association, will call friends to come to the auction together, even if they do not participate, it is not bad to see the excitement.

Speaking of which, today's auction does not require that it must be a member of the Lingshi Antique Association, but it must be endorsed by a member of the association, and the first member can only give two endorsements at most, and cannot bring in foreigners, and the character of the lot cannot be too bad.

If these two articles are violated, and the consequences are more serious, the antique association will directly expel the person who violates the discipline.

The auction was still held in the Qingfeng Teahouse, just after six o'clock, the army drove to the teahouse with Meng Zitao, the reason why it came so early was because Meng Zitao needed to take the lots participating in the auction in advance for an appraisal.

The identification process is relatively simple, as long as it is not fake at a glance, or there are obvious flaws.

But then again, the experts invited to identify are all famous and surnamed figures in Ling City, unless some fake and real high-level imitations, under normal circumstances, they basically can't escape their eyes.

In addition, this is an auction organized by the Antique Association, and generally everyone is not likely to bring fakes or imitations to the auction, otherwise they will lose their face and the face of the entire antique industry in Lingshi.

Therefore, most of the lots in the auction are genuine, except for a small number of unintentional or intentional imitations.

Because of this, for Ling City and the surrounding cities, this annual auction is like a small feast.

But. For Meng Zitao, in addition to hoping that the collection he brought can have a satisfactory transaction price. It's for the purpose of watching the excitement.

There's no way around it, he was so brilliant yesterday. It can be said that he is out of the limelight, in this case, how can everyone not pay attention to his words and deeds?

Because of this, even if he falls in love with a lot, he can't open his mouth easily, otherwise it will cause a fight.

Fortunately, Meng Zitao has a lot of friends now, if he really likes a lot, he can ask a friend to help shoot on his behalf, for him. There's not much to worry about.

Meng Zitao, together with the army, took the things he brought to the appraisal office, and immediately made the experts in charge of the appraisal stunned, it was really that Meng Zitao brought too many things compared to others.

"I said Xiao Meng, you are going to treat today as your special auction. ”

When Meng Zitao put the things in front of the expert in charge of appraisal, Mei Zhiming, who was in charge of appraising porcelain, laughed and quipped.

Meng Zitao smiled: "Mei Lao." What you say is too exaggerated, I only have seven or eight things in total, and I haven't even reached the edge of opening a special show, right?"

Yesterday, he got 16 million, and Meng Zitao's money in his hand was not so nervous. Originally, he could have come to the auction without bringing so many things, but this kind of once-a-year opportunity is too rare.

And there will be a lot of big bosses who will come to cheer during this period. In this way, it is possible to make things auction at a good price, and Meng Zitao is still unwilling to give up such an opportunity. I kept the collection that I was not willing to take, and took the rest to auction.

Lu Lao, who sat next to him and was responsible for appraising calligraphy and painting works. said with a smile: "Although Lao Mei said a little exaggerated, but Xiao Meng, don't be arrogant, think about how old you are, and now you can have such a good collection, I believe that sooner or later you will be able to hold a special auction like some collectors." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Then I will borrow your auspicious words, if the younger generation really has that day, I will definitely invite you to participate." ”

Lu Lao laughed: "Then I'll wait......"

Talking and laughing, Meng Zitao's eight collections passed the appraisal, and then signed various agreements, and Meng Zitao and experts signed, and the staff took the lots brought by Meng Zitao to the temporarily prepared exhibition hall.

Meng Zitao and Mei Zhiming said hello and led the army to the exhibition hall.

Don't look at Meng Zitao's early arrival, some people came earlier than him, and there are already more than 30-year-old lots in the exhibition hall, plus his, there are already more than 40 pieces.

When Meng Zitao saw a few acquaintances, he stepped forward to say hello, and after saying a few kind words, he began to appreciate it by himself.

Most of the lots that have been brought are relatively general things, only a few are high-quality items, and as for the treasures, they are only two or three of the few pieces brought by Meng Zitao.

Therefore, when the few pieces of the collection brought by Meng Zitao were placed by the staff, many people rushed to appreciate them. There were two people who usually don't deal with each other, and even quarreled because of the location, until the staff came forward to mediate, and they didn't stop.

Meng Zitao was a little speechless about this, but it had nothing to do with him, and after looking back a few times, he turned his attention again.

After reading more than 30 things, most of these lots are indeed genuine as Meng Zitao learned before, and there are only two problems, one of which cannot be said to be problematic, because it is repairing porcelain.

In this process, many lots and people came one after another, including Cheng Qiheng and his wife.

Seeing that Meng Zitao came over early in the morning, Cheng Qiheng hurriedly approached with Wang Menghan and asked, "Zitao, have you found anything?"

"You just walked through the door, didn't you notice it?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile.

Cheng Qiheng smiled: "I have taken a fancy to a few, but I don't know if it's true or false for the time being, so I'll come and ask you." ”

Meng Zitao asked, "Which ones?"

Cheng Qiheng reported the number, and Meng Zitao said: "If I'm not mistaken, they should all be objects with wide open doors." ”

Cheng Qiheng smiled: "Hehe, the quality of the lots this time is high enough, and I don't know who brought these things." ”

Meng Zitao shook his head: "I don't know this, anyway, when I came, there were already more than thirty lots." ”

Cheng Qiheng was surprised: "Ah, when you came over, wasn't it only past six o'clock, how could there be so many lots?"

Wang Menghan said: "You forgot, didn't Chairman Yu go to negotiate with others? I think these should be the results of his actions." ”

Wang Menghan said that President Yu is the president of the Antique Association, Yu Ziming, he did not participate in the exchange meeting yesterday, it is said that he wanted to give everyone some "welfare", and persuaded a collector from other places to take his collection here for auction.

It is now likely that some of the 30 or so previous lots were the result of his actions.

Cheng Qiheng smiled with some disdain and said: "President Yu said that he wanted to do some welfare, and he has been saying it for five or six years, and this year he finally has a little harvest and has achieved positive results." ”

Wang Menghan said: "Don't say it so ugly, although Yu Ziming likes to magnify cannons, he has at least done a little practical thing." ”

Cheng Qiheng couldn't help but scold: "The real thing of the fart, just he, a guy who eats a vegetarian meal, what practical things can he do!"

In fact, the reason why Yu Ziming was able to sit in his current position was also to reconcile the contradictions between Wang Zhixuan and Xi Zhengzhen. Of course, he is indeed capable, and he has some background, which made him the president of the Lingshi Antique Association.

It's just that in the past two years, Yu Ziming has gradually had an attitude of being in the same stream as Xi Zhengzhen, and Cheng Qiheng, as Wang Zhixuan's quasi-son-in-law, will certainly not be polite to Ziming.

Although Wang Menghan is not self-evident in his heart, but on this occasion, it is not the time to criticize Yu Ziming, which stopped Cheng Qiheng.

Meng Zitao said: "Okay, what can you do if you scold him, can he have a few pieces of meat? Anyway, we don't have much to do with him, why do you care about him? If he dares to go too far, we are not without justice." ”

Cheng Qiheng was about to say more, but after thinking about it, he still didn't want to dwell on Ding Ziming, so he said with a smile: "Tell you something, do you know that the news of the plum bottle yesterday has reached Lu Changdai's ears, and it is said that he was so angry that he had already dropped the plum bottle." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Your news is quite psionic, but I remember that Lu Changdai shouldn't be so reckless, right?"

Cheng Qiheng said with a smile: "I inquired, he bought the Tianqiu bottle for 5.8 million, plus Mei Jiyi, and he had to lose 21.8 million, although he Lu Changdai is a millionaire and has a lot of money in his hands, but the value of your two things has emptied his working capital, do you think he can not be angry?"

"He deserves it!" Meng Zitao smiled a little gloating and asked, "Then where has he gone now, is it possible to come to me for trouble." ”

Cheng Qiheng said with a smile: "He is now chasing to the capital and settling accounts with Zhu Tianhua, how can he come to find trouble with you, but it will be difficult to say in the future, so I suggest that you still ask Shu Ze to warn him, and he will definitely not trouble you again." ”

"Okay, it's better to hit the day than to hit the day, I'll call him now. ”

Meng Zitao really didn't want the trouble he had before, so he wanted to simply nip the trouble in the bud.

This is a completely small matter for Shu Ze, and he agreed directly on the phone. In addition, he still has some regret in his heart, how did he forget about today's auction and miss an excellent opportunity.

So, Shu Ze thought about it for a while, and asked Meng Zitao to help take photos of the lots worth more than 100,000 yuan and send them to him, he would choose the one he was satisfied with and let Meng Zitao help take the photo on his behalf.

This kind of thing is not troublesome for Meng Zitao, and he agreed to it in one bite.

Putting away his mobile phone, Meng Zitao asked, "Why didn't Uncle Wang come, he won't not participate in the auction for a while, right?"

Shu Ze said: "How is that possible, it's just that Uncle Wang has some things, some delays, and he will come over in a while." (To be continued.) )
