Chapter Twenty-Four: Meet Huang Lao Again

The antique market is bustling.

Gao Meng was quite puzzled by Xu Zhuo's insistence on not selling just now, and said: "Two thousand yuan, uh, you can make so much money in a change of hands, and you still don't sell it?"

Xu Zhuo glanced at him and said with a smile: "You, let's hurry up and find an appraisal agency to identify the bronze wine bottle you hold in the palm of your hand as a treasure!"

"Oh, yes, do you want to get it tested too?" Gao Meng said, blinking. Seeing that Xu Zhuo didn't sell it for 2,000 yuan, Gao Meng was also very curious, what age was that jade wrench finger, and who used it.

Xu Zhuo said: "I don't need it." Anyway, I bought it to play on my own, and I don't expect to make a lot of money from this!"

Gao Meng shrugged helplessly, the two of them walked around for about an hour, found nothing, went out of the antique market, ready to go back, and when waiting for the car outside, they found that there was a more professional appraisal agency not far outside the antique market, which was estimated to be dedicated to serving people in the antique market.

Originally, Xu Zhuo planned to go home and sleep directly. He likes to sleep now. Sleeping can practice the Divine Pupil Technique, and you can open a bow and shoot arrows to practice your eyes and eyes, but it's not a waste of time to eat and sleep lazy.

However, since Gao Meng was going, and it happened to be not far away, Xu Zhuo accompanied him.

Although the two of them are amateurs, they rarely come to such professional appraisal institutions, and they have to charge for nothing else! They are poor students, and they are reluctant to spend this money. Today, I'm a ghost, and in addition, I have an intuition that the bronze wine bottle is a treasure!

The reason why Gao Meng believed so much was mainly because when Xu Zhuo bought the jade wrench later, the well-known Huang Lao suddenly appeared and bought it at a high price, which gave him confidence.

This is an institution called "Treasure Pavilion Antique Appraisal Center", the house is antique, there are three floors, quite elegant, but there is no lack of some modern high-tech instruments, it seems that tradition and technology are combined, very powerful and professional.

"If you want to identify this bronze, you need to use a professional dating instrument, which is very expensive, so the appraisal fee is 800 yuan! If you want to issue a certificate, you have to add another 1,000 yuan. After the reception staff finished speaking, they paused, and then whispered mysteriously, "Assuming that the result is a fake, but it doesn't matter, as long as the two of you are willing to pay an extra 5,000 yuan, hehe, you know." ”

Xu Zhuo suddenly felt that this institution was unreliable, and the meaning of the other party's words was that as long as he was willing to pay an extra 5,000 yuan, even if the appraisal result was a fake, he could still buy a certificate? Of course, the gold content of the certificate of the national authority should be relatively high, and this appraisal agency with no background can be trusted.

Gao Meng suddenly hesitated, and said, "Forget it!" He was reluctant to spend eight hundred to identify. He is now worth more than 10,000 yuan, and many of them are borrowed from relatives and friends, and he is going to scrape together 20,000 yuan to buy the bronze tripod. Of course, although he has a heart, he is cautious and does not dare to make a casual move, and he is still hesitating.

Xu Zhuo thought about it, and nodded: "Let's go find a museum or a collectors' association or something." Or go to the school and find a teacher to help you take a look!"

There is an elective course in the school of antique art appreciation, and the teacher who started the course seems to be a player in this area, no matter how many brushes the other party has, but at least he is much more proficient than the two of them. The main thing is that it doesn't cost money to find a teacher. It seems that it doesn't cost money to find those museums.

Although the staff of this appraisal agency repeatedly persuaded and persuaded them to give them a nine-and-a-half discount or something, the two were still ready to leave, and at this moment, an old man with a dragon's head cane walked in slowly. Seeing this person, Gao Meng and Xu Zhuo were slightly startled.

And when the old man saw them, his eyes lit up slightly.

And the staff in this institution all shouted enthusiastically: "Huang Ye is good!"

"Mr. Huang is good!"

"Hello old man!"

Although the names are different, Xu Zhuo and Gao Meng both vaguely guessed that I am afraid that this appraisal agency was opened by this old man Huang.

They guessed right, Huang Bingfu is the boss of this appraisal agency. In the early years, he personally appraised people, but in these years, most of the ordinary business was completed by the staff in the store and the corresponding instruments, and only the kind of "valuables" sent by acquaintances or people entrusted with the relationship, he personally took action.

"Two young men, we are really destined!" Huang Bingfu said with a smile on his dragon head crutches, stroked his gray beard.

"Hehe, Huang Lao is good!" Gao Meng's eyes flashed with stars, and his voice was a little flattering, this master is a senior in the antique world, if there is a chance to put on a close relationship and climb the relationship, it will be used inexhaustibly in the future.

However, Xu Zhuo didn't feel anything, he just respected that the other party was an old man, and greeted him respectfully: "Huang Lao is good." He looked at the old man carefully. I saw that in the year of the other party's sixtieth birthday, the beard was long, although he was in good spirits, his face was full of red light, and his eyes were very bright, but his hair and beard were gray, and he was still on a dragon's head crutch, so it was obvious that his body was not particularly good.

Huang Bingfu nodded slightly, then turned his head and instructed the staff: "Give them two free appraisals." ”

All the staff present couldn't help but look at it together, because this kind of service personally ordered by Huang Lao was not something that ordinary people could enjoy. What is the origin of these two young people, who deserve such ...... "courtesy" as Huang Lao? Could it be that the objects in their hands are really valuable?

A staff member walked over and asked Gao Meng for the bronze wine bottle. Gao Meng was still stunned, and Huang Bingfu couldn't help laughing: "Are you still afraid that the old man will swallow or replace your baby?"

"Oh, oh......" Gao Meng nodded again and again, but then reacted again, and hurriedly said, "No, no, it's just ...... , hehe, it's just too exciting. ”

The celebrity in the antique market personally gave him a free appraisal, and he can brag about it with his friends in the future. In fact, it was not Huang Bingfu who personally appraised it, but personally ordered someone to help them identify it for free, but the difference was automatically ignored by Gao Meng.

Huang Bingfu is now prominent, even if Xu Zhuo and Gao Meng's objects are worth a little money, he will not do it himself, and it is already an exception to be able to let someone help them identify them for free, and it is a special treatment.

Gao Meng hurriedly handed over the bronze wine bottle with both hands, and when he handed it over, he stared at it carefully, remembering the characteristics, and at the same time, he was extremely looking forward to it in his heart, hoping that it would be a valuable one, and it would be sold for thirty or forty thousand yuan, right? In that case, he would have more sufficient reasons to persuade his family to agree that he would not have to go to the hospital to work after graduation, and that he could pour antiques. In fact, sometimes Xu Zhuo felt that Gao Meng was also in the water in his brain, and no matter how many people wanted to become doctors, they had no chance, but Gao Meng gave up this profession and went to the antique world to toss.

It's just that everyone has their own aspirations, and he is also a peer, and he knows deeply that people of this age are very idealistic, very assertive, and very rebellious, and it is difficult to change each other's minds lightly.

But Xu Zhuo's dream is still to be a doctor. Be a qualified doctor.

"Why, young man, don't you go to identify that jade wrench?" Huang Bingfu couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw that only Gao Meng took out the bronze wine bottle, and Xu Zhuo didn't move.
