Chapter Seventy-Nine, A Unique Auction (Ask for Collection!)

As if the three of them were interested in the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the woman in Tang costume explained: "These calligraphy and paintings hanging in the corridor of the Tang Palace are the works of modern calligraphy masters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info are all high-quality products, and several of them should be identified first. As they spoke, a few people turned the corner, and in front of them was a very modern living room, or café, with many sofas and coffee tables scattered in it. The style is simple and atmospheric.

I asked a few people to sit down and said a little wait.

The woman in Tang costume left directly.

However, there is still a bar in this café, and there is a very neutral and beautiful short-haired woman standing in it, holding a white square scarf, and wiping a crystal cup.

"What to drink?" Ye Meng asked the two of them as she looked left and right.

"Mineral water. Tang Wen replied.

"Then I'll have mineral water too. ”

"Are you sure? I'm going to pay for it now. ”

Tang Wen raised his head and said solemnly: "Oh, then bring me ten boxes of 82-year-old Lafite, and then take a big vat and pour it in!

The two girls immediately burst into laughter, and Ye Meng also took the opportunity to punch him twice in the back. If it's not an illusion, Tang Wen feels that this is much heavier than when he made trouble before.

There was another table in the café, where two women sat opposite each other. After listening to Tang Wen's words, he couldn't help but look sideways. It's just that there is no smile on his face. It seemed that he was discussing something serious again, and after one glance, he turned back again.

Soon the woman in Tang costume came over with a middle-aged woman in professional clothes, and after saying hello, she smiled and said, "Is it convenient to see things here?"

"Convenient, snuff bottle only. Saying that, Tang Wen opened the two gift boxes.

There were no complicated instruments, just a magnifying glass and a tiny flashlight. The flashlight seems to be used to check light transmission or something, and the magnifying glass is used to look at the details on the inside of the snuffbox.

"It's a rare piece of inner painting pot, especially the pictures that echo each other, are two pictures of ladies with different postures, but they are genuine. The female appraiser turned off the flashlight switch and said to Tang Wen with a smile.

"How much is it worth?" Wang Shan looked expectant.

"Well, it depends on how you plan to sell it. ”

"Oh, what do you mean?" Tang Wen wondered.

"In the Tang Palace, after we have verified the authenticity of the things, we can hold a small auction in the restaurant on the second floor in the evening. For example, there is tonight. If no one is interested tonight, then the next time a few days later, it will be brought up again. The second auction until someone asks for a price. Of course, because the number of people is relatively small, the starting price will be very high, and to be honest, the collection market has become more and more popular in the past two years. As long as it is something that is identified as a fine product by the Tang Palace. It will not be sold more than twice. The female appraiser explained confidently.

"Listen to what you mean, are there any other ways to sell it?" Tang Wen asked curiously.

"There is also an offer from the Tang Palace for direct acquisition. However, it is acquired at a 92% discount, and the remaining 8% is counted as a service fee. ”

"And what are you quoting on? ”

"Of course not. We get a value based on the market price over the years. For example, this pair of snuff bottles, my offer is 1.6 million yuan. You have 1,472,000. "The female appraiser is very professional and can figure out the numbers in the blink of an eye.

"Then if it's an auction, how many points will you charge?" After thinking for a while, Tang Wen asked again.

"Well, 6%"

"What about the starting price?"

"Five hundred thousand," the woman smiled.

Tang Wen saw Ye Meng's eyes blinking, so he simply asked her directly, "What do you think?"

"Auction!"

"Then auction!" Tang Wen chose to believe in Ye Meng's IQ and EQ, of course, the most important thing was because she had been here.

The female appraiser smiled at the three of them and said, "Come with me, let's simply sign an agreement." ”

The group came to the place where the legal office was indicated, and the staff inside took out a very simple contract with ease. Tang Wen signed two copies and left the two snuff bottles here. The three of them went up to the second floor.

It seems that the offices are all on the first floor, and the second floor is exceptionally open. Even the height of the room is five or six meters. A crystal lamp was lit up on the ceiling. However, the lighting is very soft, and if it weren't for the gradual darkness of the night outside the window, it would even make people think that it was natural light.

What surprised Tang Wen the most was not the solid wood floors and elegant decoration here, but the fact that there were obviously seven or eight tables of people talking here, and it still seemed very quiet. Touching the thick and soft decoration on the wall, he suddenly remembered a term, which could be a sound-absorbing material.

Wang Shan and Ye Meng were really not polite, and after sitting down, they directly asked for a few half-head abalones, three Australian lobsters, and a few signature dishes recommended by the Tang Palace.

Tang Wen asked ashamedly, "What is a half-headed abalone?"

Just as a young and beautiful woman walked past him, she heard his words and smiled kindly at him. After all, it can be asked directly, and it is very frank in today's society.

Ye Meng explained with a smile: "It's the largest abalone." ”

"Then why is it called half a head of abalone?"

"Hehe, that's because it's half a pound. Come, I'll test you, what is the name of a pound of abalone?" Wang Shan said with a smile.

"It's called abalone!" Tang Wen rolled his eyes at her angrily.

"Just a few tables of people, won't it be auctioned?" After a while, Tang Wen didn't notice how many more people came until he started to serve the food, so he couldn't help but say worriedly.

Ye Meng glanced at him and said with disdain: "This is the Internet era! Eat your food well and don't worry about it!"

"I dare to doubt lemon lemon! Lemon lemon is so delicious here, in addition to pasta, there is also a layer of steamed millet under this lobster! What about the membership card here? Is the annual fee expensive?"

"So is this Western food? or Chinese food?" Tang Wen looked at the newly served plate of squirrel mandarin fish, and then looked at the lobster on the plate, a little entangled whether to use chopsticks or forks.

Ye Meng explained how to do the membership card, first of all, the referrer, don't worry about this. Then there is a recharge of 500,000 yuan, Wang Shan said that there is no need to worry about this. But it takes a lot of effort to maintain. The annual membership fee here is only tens of thousands of yuan, but it also needs to consume a certain amount every year, not limited to what to do. This is a new clubhouse, as for other cities, it seems that Hangzhou, Shenzhen, ZQ major southern cities have ......

Tang Wen was not very interested in this, and listened to each sentence, and the night gradually thickened.

The small projectors hanging from the ceiling lit up one by one, and there were almost a dozen pictures projected on the four walls. The people around were not surprised, Tang Wen and Wang Shan looked at the nearest pair of them in surprise, and found that it was an antique message.

This picture is a jade hairpin, judging by the color, it should be jadeite such as green jade. Attached to the picture is a line of small print describing the material of the hairpin, its origin and even the benefits of wearing jade. And at the top, there is a price tag - the starting price is 120000 yuan.

The other pictures are also a variety of antiques, including porcelain, purple clay pots, jade carvings, and ...... And a little farther away, there are two inner painting snuff bottles that he just contributed. The difference is that there is an extra red stamp on the title, and the word "boutique" is written in red font.

"How do you get a price?"

"Use your mobile phone" said Ye Meng handed over her mobile phone, and suddenly whispered: "Because the snuff bottle is brought by me as a member, I can only look at it on the app, and I can't ask for it......"
