Hangzhou.

It's the fourth day since he returned to modern times.

She was not in a hurry to return to her hometown, a quiet town, but stayed in Hangzhou and stayed in a fairly good hotel with her daughter Jinghuan. She plans to settle in Hangzhou, after all, Jinghuan should have gone to primary school a long time ago, and in the end, the education conditions in big cities are better.

It's just that if you want to settle in a big city, you naturally have to buy a house. And there aren't many Grandpa Mao in his pocket, and it looks like he has to sell something......

She kept two boxes of gold bills in the medicine house, but she didn't plan to sell the gold, the large quantities of gold were too eye-catching, and her gold was "unknown", if she was targeted by the police, it would not be good.

She had already thought carefully about the plane, and the only things she had in her pocket, which were particularly valuable in this era, were those antiques.

Some jade and porcelain donated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she is not sure whether it can pass the carbon fourteen inspection, if not, the porcelain is just beautiful porcelain, and the jade is only worth the price of the jade itself.

After thinking about it, he took out a pair of Shen Zhou's "Cold Mountain Snow Map" and went straight to the largest auction in Hangzhou.

paid the appraisal fee of Grandpa Mao of 2,000 first, and Ming Ming waited for tea in the reception room.

This wait is a few hours, and the appraisal results did not come, but waited for Jinghuan's phone call first. Since you want to live in this era, you still have to equip your daughter with communication tools. Children learn everything quickly, and after ten minutes of teaching, Jinghuan has a lot of fun by herself.

"Mom, why haven't you come back yet?" Jing Huan said in a coquettish tone.

Humming sighed. I touched my stomach, not only are you hungry, it's almost twelve o'clock. I'm even hungrier, old lady!

"Eat for yourself, order whatever you want, but don't waste it!" -- this is the advantage of staying in a hotel, and there are people to serve you when you eat, drink, and Lazar.

After hanging up the phone, he muttered, it would be better to go out and eat something first.

As soon as he raised his leg to leave, the manager of the auction house came. That face was obviously very excited, "Miss Lan." After preliminary identification, it can already be confirmed that your calligraphy and painting are from the Ming Dynasty. But whether it is Shen Zhou's authentic work still needs to be further identified by several experts. ”

Humming secretly thought, it seems that it has passed the carbon 14 identification?

"Got it. Then I'll go out for dinner first. I'll be back to hear the results later. Humming said lightly.

Manager Ma saw that Ming was leaving, and hurriedly said, "If Miss Lan doesn't dislike it, you can have lunch in our restaurant." ”

The restaurant frowned, noisy and shouting a large group of people, where is there still an appetite?

Manager Ma seemed to see that he was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "On the second floor of our company's restaurant, there is also a special private room to ensure that it is clean and clean. ”

"Okay. Humming shrugged. Anyway, it's going to be a meal.

This manager Ma is enthusiastic, or is he afraid that she will run away??...... Her paintings are still in the auction house. If you can run, the monk can't run the temple.

A small private room on the second floor. It's really clean and clean, but she secretly thinks that Chinese food is still forgotten, and no matter how she eats, it will definitely not be able to compare to the ten years of palace kitchen skills she has eaten, so she specially ordered Western food, and she should eat it fresh. When Ming Ming finished eating and went to settle the bill, he was told that he had been settled by the manager Ma.

After eating, I waited for another hour and finally got the result.

It is determined to be the authentic work of Shen Zhou, and the snow map of the cold mountain is a late work of Shen Zhou, which is a pair of high artistic value.

"When will the auction be scheduled?" asked Ming bluntly.

Manager Ma said: "There are fewer and fewer authentic works of Shen Zhou on the market, and in order to achieve the best auction effect, it is necessary to promote it for at least one month." ”

A month? That's a little too long, isn't it?

Manager Ma probably saw that he was anxious, so he smiled and said, "If Miss Lan is in a hurry to use the money, our auction house can introduce you to a big customer." This big customer likes Shen Zhou's calligraphy and painting very much. ”

Dumbfounded, it stands to reason that Shen Zhou's painting can be regarded as a big gimmick, and publicity and auction can also create a lot of momentum for the auction. Wouldn't it be a loss to arrange a seller in private?

Manager Ma said: "I won't tell you, this big customer, his identity is a bit special, he doesn't like to show off, he has always been very low-key, he will not go to the auction site." ”

In other words, this patron doesn't like letting people know that he bought Shen Zhou's famous paintings??

People in the officialdom??This seems to be the most likely. If you can make the auction house sacrifice your interests to curry favor, I'm afraid that the power position is not low!

It's just that Hao Ming didn't care about this, and asked directly: "How much money can he pay?"

Manager Ma said: "Two years ago, our company also auctioned a pair of Shen Zhou's bamboo forest ****, and the transaction price was 19.55 million. Like Miss Lan's Snow Map of the Cold Mountain, they are all works of the late Shen Zhou Dynasty, and they are about the same size. If Miss Lan is willing to trade privately, we can guarantee that the big customer's bid will not be less than 20 million. ”

Don't look at the calm appearance of Mingming, but in my heart I am already Sparta!!

She knew that ancient paintings were valuable, but she didn't expect them to be so valuable!!

I thought it would be good to sell a few million, but I thought that it would be 20 million guaranteed!!

Originally, I was hesitant to buy a commercial house on the ground floor or on the high-rise, but now I don't have to think about it, just come to a small villa.

Hao Ming lightly put down the teacup in his hand, "Twenty million? It was worth this price two years ago, doesn't Manager Ma feel that it is a little less?"

Manager Ma wiped his sweat and said, "How much does Miss Nalan want?"

Mo Ming didn't answer, but said, "You can call your big customer directly and ask him to come up with a sincere price." ”

"Okay, then please wait. Manager Ma left the office quickly, found a quiet place and dialed the big man's phone.

Ten minutes later, Manager Ma came back, "Miss Lan, that customer is willing to pay 27 million." This price, even for Shen Zhou's calligraphy and painting, is very high. ”

Hao Ming said secretly, but he was proud enough, but he was not satisfied, but said: "One price, 30 million." If he nods, he'll be able to trade right away!"

Manager Ma tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Miss Lan, you really have enough lion to open your mouth." ”

Yu Ming raised her eyebrows, "This is Shen Zhou's calligraphy and painting, if you miss this time, I'm afraid there may not be a next time!" - she saw that the patron was rich enough, so she increased the price by three million.

Manager Ma was just a middleman, so he turned around and went out to make a phone call again, and this time it took twenty minutes to come back.

Thirty million, deal.

It's just that Ming still didn't see the big patron, only a secretary Xiao Zhang, who was said to be the big patron, came - said it was Xiao Zhang, and he looked like he was in his forties. It seems that the big patron is really not a low official position......

After deducting the commission and taxes to the auction house, the extra three million is equivalent to not getting it.

Humming sighed and said goodbye to the auction house in distress.

Seeing that it was still early, she went straight to a real estate agency, she wanted to settle in Hangzhou, but she was impatient to buy a house for decoration, so she simply bought a ready-made one. I registered, left my phone number, and took a taxi back to the hotel. (To be continued.) )
