Chapter 263: A fork in the road
"This pocket watch is an ordinary object from the Republic of China, and it has a certain collection value, but it is not too high. ”
The appraiser first took out the pocket watch and said.
For the appraisal results, Li Lin was a little disappointed, but there was no sense of surprise, this pocket watch when he first got it, he didn't think there was anything special, he thought he might be an ordinary product, and today's appraisal is really the case.
Manager Na Luo heard the appraiser say this, but his heart was a little disappointed, he received Li Lin so warmly, naturally there was a purpose, last time, Li Lin's jade pendant left a deep impression on him, and now Jiahua Auction House does need some high-quality antiques to auction, in order to enhance the reputation of the auction house, so, yesterday, after he received a call from Li Lin, he was full of expectations that Li Lin could bring him a few high-quality things, but now it seems that he seems to be thinking too much.
However, the appraiser's words then filled him with hope again.
"As for this folding fan, it is indeed genuine, and even a treasure. ”
The appraiser took out the folding fan and placed it on the table in front of the two of them, and said: "This folding fan itself is a treasure, with excellent workmanship and exquisite craftsmanship, and it is also from the hands of famous artists. The paper used in this fan is brocade rice paper, which is not bad for a long time, and the thickness is uniform, of course, this Tang Yin's poem is to increase the value of this folding fan many times. “
According to my appraisal, Tang Yin had already lived in the Peach Blossom Nunnery when he wrote the inscription on this folding fan, and at this time his creation had reached its peak, forming his own mature style. And the font on this folding fan is the embodiment of this style, what is even more rare is that there is his painting on the back, his painting level is not worse than calligraphy, or even better, so the collection value of this folding fan is extremely high. ”
The appraiser's evaluation finally made Manager Luo happy, as the manager of the auction house, he is also knowledgeable, when the appraiser spoke, he had already picked up the folding fan to appreciate, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, plus the appraiser's words, the smile on his face was almost impossible to hide, and the eyes looking at Li Lin were even more friendly.
"This Li Lin is really his own nobleman, his auction house just needs something to regroup, so he sent this thing, no, I must have a good relationship with him in the future, think about the jade pendant last time, he seems to have a lot of good things. Manager Luo was playing with the folding fan while thinking about his own thoughts.
In the end, the appraiser gave an opinion that the pocket watch is about fifteen thousand, this folding fan can be auctioned, the value is not easy to estimate, but it will not be lower than the price of Li Lin's calligraphy works last time, this is because the folding fan collection belongs to the unpopular collection, otherwise the price will definitely be higher, but it is also because it is an unpopular collection, if people who love to collect this thing really fancy it, the price may be unexpected and not necessarily.
In the end, Manager Luo accepted the pocket watch on behalf of the auction house, but the price for Li Lin was 20,000 yuan, and the folding fan was naturally going to be auctioned.
After that, Li Lin went to the auction procedures, he is no stranger to this, and he is also quite satisfied with the price of the pocket watch, this thing, he was not too optimistic about it at the beginning, and it would be good to be able to sell it at this price.
Although, these things are from the system's treasure chest, but this difference is still very big, good antiques may be more than 10 million, bad may even be thousands of dollars, so, this thing still depends on the character, fortunately, Li Lin's character is good, although this pocket watch is not very valuable, but it was sold for 20,000 yuan, not to mention that there is a folding fan that does not know the price, that thing is not a matter of tens of thousands of yuan.
"Boss Li, you are really my nobleman, you must always take care of my business in the future. ”
After the matter was done, Li Lin wanted to leave, but he didn't expect that Manager Luo was very enthusiastic, and he had to pull him to dinner, but he didn't let him leave.
"Where, it was Manager Luo who helped me, if it weren't for the help of your auction house, my things would not have been sold at a high price, we can be regarded as a win-win situation at most," Li Lin said politely.
"Yes, yes, win-win, win-win. Manager Luo also said with a smile that as long as Li Lin got the profit that he was satisfied with in their auction house, their cooperation would continue, and this win-win situation would continue.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very good, Manager Luo should be happy to get a good auction item, Li Lin was also very happy because he was about to make money with another antique, he was in a good mood, the atmosphere would not be bad, and Li Lin unconsciously drank a few more glasses. At the end of the meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
In the afternoon, Li Lin had planned to leave the magic capital and go back to Jinling, but because he drank a lot of wine at noon, Li Lin couldn't drive, so he temporarily decided to stay in the magic capital for half a day longer and go back tomorrow morning.
Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Manager Luo, Li Lin went to find a place to live, in this prosperous magic capital, it is not too easy to want a place to live.
Because he drank a lot of wine at noon, his head was a little dizzy, and his amount of alcohol was not large, so in the afternoon, Li Lin slept directly in the hotel and didn't wake up until it was dark at night.
"I don't drink anymore, so it's better to drink less in the future. After Li Lin woke up, he rubbed his still uncomfortable head and muttered.
I felt that I was already very hungry, and I ate some food and drank wine at noon, but I didn't eat much, so when I woke up now, I felt hungry.
Li Lin got up and dressed, he didn't plan to eat in this hotel, he wanted to go outside to find a food stall and eat the special snacks here.
I have to say that there are also a lot of snacks in this magic capital, Li Lin patted his round stomach with satisfaction and left the snack street.
Li Lin originally planned to wander around, enjoy the night view of this magic capital, and look at the night market here, but he didn't know what was going on, he left the snack street, and actually walked more and more deviated, and when he came back to his senses, he actually walked to the alley.
"It seems that you can't really walk and think about things at the same time. Li Lin looked at the dimly lit alleyways around him and muttered, he was just walking while thinking about his next plan, this one didn't pay attention to come to such a place.
Li Lin is not afraid of the surrounding environment at all, although the surrounding lights are dim and no one passes by, but he has been injured and "died" many times in the system, and the feeling is no different from reality, and the environment in front of him is a small meaning to him. Therefore, Li Lin really has nothing to be afraid of.
