Chapter Ninety-Five: Yu Xuan

There were about 30 individuals and antique dealers who came to participate in the auction of the collection company this time, plus the assistants and appraisers they brought, there were almost 100 people, but a group of ten people came to the stage for appraisal, each group lasted ten minutes, but it was soon Fang Yi's turn.

"Let's go, don't talk nonsense after you go up......" Man Jun whispered to Fang Yi, all the people who came here today are leaders in various industries, as the saying goes, people with ability have a big temper, and if they say the wrong way, they may offend people.

"Elder Yu, let's go up too......"

When Fang Yi and the others got up, Su Shilun, who was sitting next to him, also beckoned the old man he brought to stand up, and it could be seen that this rich man who could rank among the top few in the country had great respect for that old man.

According to the requirements, each buyer can only bring one appraiser to the scene, so although Su Shilun and the others came with three people, Officer Bai could only sit down below, Fang Yi glanced at her when he got up, and through the black-framed glasses, he could see a little resentment in Officer Bai's eyes.

"Old Yu, this ...... Could this person be Minnan Yu Xuan?" Hearing Su Shilun's address to the old man, the Manjun who had already walked out of his seat couldn't help but pause, and looked back at the old man sharply, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Brother Man, what's wrong?" was blocked by the Manchu army, and Fang Yi gently pushed him on the shoulder.

"Oh, no...... It's okay......"

The Man Jun hurriedly walked a few steps, but after walking out of the row, the Man Jun stopped and let Su Shilun and the others behind them walk in front, and at the same time carefully examined the old man's face.

"Brother Man, do you know him?" After Su Shilun and the old man walked seven or eight meters, Fang Yi asked in a low voice in the ear of Man Jun.

"Sure enough, it's him......" Man Jun nodded and said: "This Mr. Su is really wealthy, he can invite Yu Lao to help him palm, I'm afraid his cost this time is not as high as the cost of inviting Yu Lao......"

"This person is very famous in the antique appraisal industry?" Fang Yi is still in the learning stage of half-understanding of the antique business, and he doesn't know what other famous appraisers there are in China except for the teacher.

"Is your master famous for his appraisal of calligraphy, painting and ceramics?"

As the Man Jun walked to the stage, he whispered: "Yu Lao is a domestic master in terms of antiques and miscellaneous, and Deputy Director Zhao is at least several levels worse than him, and he is also a seal carving master, and the private seals of national leaders are all from his handwriting......"

The Manchu army has not seen this Yu Lao, but in some published books on antiques and miscellaneous knowledge, he has seen photos of Yu Lao, and at the same time, he has heard rumors about him in the circle.

Unlike Sun Lao, who basically does not touch the antique trade, Yu Xuan likes to go to the market to pick up leaks, so that later the people who set up stalls in the city where he is located know him, as long as Yu Xuan likes something, those vendors can shout a sky-high price.

However, although Yu Xuan likes to pick up leaks on Taobao by himself, he rarely helps others to identify antiques and miscellaneous items, as far as the Manchu army knows, Yu Xuan helped someone identify an object three years ago, and the cost of identification alone exceeded the value of the object itself by five times.

Now that Su Shilun has invited this master, needless to say, it is definitely a sky-high appraisal fee, otherwise with Yu Xuan's status in the rivers and lakes, how could he go to an auction house of such a scale to help people appraise it.

"Then what do they fancy when they look back, can't we just buy it with us?" Fang Yi laughed when he heard this, and whispered: "It's impossible to buy fake things after all if you follow them, right?"

"Follow them to buy it, that's breaking the rules and offending people, you can figure it out?"

The Manchu army scoffed at Fang Yi's words, and said, "They look at miscellaneous, we look at calligraphy and painting, this is not all the way at all, and even if we follow them to buy, can you fight hard?"

There is an unwritten rule in the antique deal, that is, when trading in non-auction occasions, once someone picks up an object to inspect, others are not allowed to snatch and bid during this period, and only after the person puts it down and says no, others can obtain this right, otherwise it is a broken rule.

Although the auction pays attention to the highest bidder, there is no such rule, but with Su Shilun's net worth and Yu Lao's status in the rivers and lakes, even if someone wants to compete for what he wants to buy, in the end, I am afraid that Su Shilun will not be able to fight and offend the other party in vain.

But fortunately, although Su Shilun often participates in various auctions, his main focus is on cultural and miscellaneous antiques, which does not conflict much with the calligraphy, painting and ceramics pursued by antique dealers, otherwise with his net worth, I am afraid that he can sweep all the domestic antique transactions and auctions.

"Fang Yi, what do you want to see?"

After coming to the stage, Man Jun said to Fang Yi: "I'll take a look at these calligraphy and paintings, why don't you go to the place where you play miscellaneous things over there?" If you like it, remember the lot number, and wait until the auction starts to see what the reserve price is?"

The reason why Man Jun thought that Fang Yi would have a chance was because he had heard many people say that the auction held by the collection company may not be very low, but the reserve price is very low.

"Brother Man, you're busy, I'm here to study......"

Fang Yi laughed when he heard this, although the stage was full of dazzling antiques, but there were few that Fang Yi could recognize, that is, on a booth near the edge of the stage, there were a few gadgets such as cultural toys and snuff bottles.

"Young man, you're also interested in antiques and miscellaneous?"

When Fang Yi and Man Jun were talking, Yu Lao had already taken Su Shilun to the edge of the booth where the miscellaneous items were placed, and when he saw Fang Yi passing, he raised his head in surprise, Su Shilun had told him just now that the antique dealer seemed to be mainly engaged in calligraphy and painting.

"Still learning, you always look at ...... first" Fang Yi just stood aside, but he didn't start playing with those objects, he was also learning and selling, and he applied the knowledge he had just heard from the Manchu army.

"There aren't many young people who still know how to be humble now......"

Yu Lao sighed with some emotion, some of the young people he has met over the years are becoming more and more impetuous, thinking about making money just after knowing a little bit of skin, and they don't know how to respect teachers and teach at all.

Last year, Yu Lao encountered an incident in Panjiayuan in the capital, when he found that there was a stall on a bronze gilt Buddha statue good, looking at its shape and age are a bit like the Qing Dynasty Emperor of the palace office made, at that time Yu Lao and the vendor talked about the price.

The price of the vendor is not high, only 50,000 yuan, you know, the things that come out of the Qing Dynasty court office will be at least one million at the auction, Yu Lao was a little suspicious at that time, so he picked up the Buddha statue and looked at it.

At this time, a ray of sunlight shone on the Buddha statue, and the dazzling light refracted by Yu Lao suddenly made Yu Lao realize that something was wrong, this must be an old object, because the surface color of the old gilt copper statue is dull, and the light refracted back in the sun is very soft.

It's just that before Yu Lao put down the Buddha statue, there was a young man who had been staying next to him, but he snatched the Buddha statue, and without saying a word, he shot out 50,000 yuan and bought the Buddha statue in his hand.

At that time, Yu Lao was angry and also wondered, why did this young man dare to spend 50,000 yuan to buy this thing without even looking at it, after the young man and the vendor made a deal, Yu Xuan grabbed the young man and asked in person.

To Yu Xuan's surprise, this young man's answer made him laugh, the reason is very simple, this young man who runs an antique shop in the south knows Yu Xuan and knows Yu Xuan's reputation in miscellaneous appraisals, so he believes that this Buddha statue is a genuine product, so he can't wait to snatch it from Yu Xuan's hands.

After figuring out what happened, Yu Xuan pointed out the counterfeiting of the Buddha statue on the spot, then turned around and left, leaving the young man to argue with the stall owner.

Of course, the final result was that the vendor won, because the original price of the handicraft was difficult to define, and he didn't say that he was selling antiques.

However, after that incident, Yu Xuan, who originally liked to promote young people, was not so enthusiastic, and none of the young disciples were accepted.
