Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wang Ying's Triumph

……

From morning to noon, the heartwood of the four trees was finally dug out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Because the density of small-leaved red sandalwood is larger than that of Huanghuali, even the Hainan Huanghuali with a heartwood diameter of 45 cm weighs only 250 kg heavier than the 38-centimeter small-leaved red sandalwood.

Asking Wang Qian and Qian Di to help, Wang Zheng first measured the data of the thickest Hainan Huanghuali.

In addition to the diameter, not counting the material with a diameter of less than 5 cm, which can only be used as a string of beads, the whole heartwood is 14 meters long and weighs 2,396 kg.

The second 36 cm maximum diameter of the Huanghua pear, excluding the material below 5 cm to make beads and crutches, the whole heartwood is 12 meters long and weighs 1759 kg.

The largest diameter of the small leaf red sandalwood, excluding the material below 5 cm to make beads and crutches, the whole heartwood is 12.8 meters long and weighs 2146 kg.

The last 28 cm diameter small leaf red sandalwood, excluding the offcuts below 5 cm, the whole heartwood is 10.3 meters long and weighs 1579 kg.

Because he is not a professional, Wang Zheng has no way to accurately estimate the value of his four major materials. However, the old material in almost perfect condition must be an extremely scarce commodity in the wood market now.

"However, this time Guardian's autumn auction is estimated to be unable to catch up!" Wang Zheng felt a little pity in his heart.

The most suitable place for your own good things is still the auction house. But Xiaoye Rosewood definitely can't make a move now. Because as long as you have a little knowledge, you can see at a glance that his two big ingredients have just been cut down, and the golden heartwood is the proof.

Generally speaking, after two or three days, the color of the heartwood will change from the golden yellow that has just been cut down to rich red, and then turn into a luxurious purple black with the accumulation of years!

Therefore, these two small leaves of red sandalwood heartwood should be kept for at least three or five days before they can be taken out for others to see.

Hainan Huanghuali doesn't have this worry, but the eyes of veterans who have been mixed in this industry for decades are very poisonous, and they can't help but show flaws, so Wang Zheng still decided to keep it in his hands for a few days now.

Anyway, if you have something in your hand, you are not afraid that you will not be able to make money. Moreover, with the auction income of Qianlong enamel color bowls, the lack of funds for the expansion of Baixiangju has been temporarily solved.

As for the money for renting the land, it will not be paid until the second half of next year. Therefore, now Wang Zheng does not have to rush to make money.

Let Wang Qian and Qian Di lift the four pieces of wood to the side, then take out Shennong's botanical nutrient solution, and give two drops to ten Hainan huanghuali and ten small-leaved red sandalwood respectively, before taking them out of the dimensional space box.

What Wang Zheng didn't expect was that not long after he came out of it, Wang Ying's phone called.

"Wang Zheng, why didn't you come to this morning's auction?"

"I didn't go over this morning because I had something to do here!"

"Oh, are you coming in the afternoon, there's a lot of good stuff coming up here in the afternoon!"

"I'll see it in the afternoon, but it should pass!"

"Alright, give me a call when you get there!"

After a few more words, the two sides hung up the phone.

Putting his mobile phone in his pocket, Wang Zheng didn't expect that he would come to the capital to participate in the Guardian Autumn Auction this time, and he would be able to make a friend with a similar temperament, which was also fate.

"Hmm, maybe I can ask Wang Ying to help!"

Wang Zheng said thoughtfully.

He has a lot of precious wood in his hands, and it is impossible for all of them to flow out of the auction, so although he makes a lot of money, he also has a great impact.

And Wang Ying, a middleman who knows many high-end collectors, is a very good way. The two complement each other, which is more conducive to Wang Zheng's safe money.

"The big material will be auctioned, and the smaller material will be let Wang Ying help make a private shot!"

After thinking about the way out in the future, Wang Zheng looked at the time and saw that it was past 12 o'clock, so he didn't go out again, and directly asked the hotel to deliver the food and ate lunch in the room.

In the afternoon, because there was nothing to do, Wang Zheng came to the auction.

Although I can't afford to buy the above things, it's good to have a long insight.

"By the way, Wang Ying, you don't have anything to auction like me, and you're not here to buy things, so why are you participating in the auction?"

"Hehe, of course I came for a reason...... And it's not just about selling things and buying things!"

"How?"

Wang Ying's mysterious expression added to Wang Zheng's curiosity.

"There are so many ways to do this! Take me as an example, although I don't sell or buy anything here, I can understand the current market of each auction item by watching the auction!"

"Isn't it in the auction yearbook released by the auction company?"

"Yes, there is, but it will take a few months or even a year, and by the time the auction company's yearbook comes out, the market will have already changed. Therefore, it is most important to have first-hand information!"

"That's true!" Wang Zheng nodded.

"And that's not all the information revealed at the auction!"

"Oh?"

"This is confidential information that I have summarized over the years, for the sake of the two of us falling in love at first sight, I will share it with you!"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng smiled, the secret that can be taken out and shared is not a secret. Based on what he knows about Wang Ying in the past few days, most of the ingredients he still shows off to himself. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Wang Zheng himself is not engaged in the collection industry, and there is no fundamental conflict of interests with Wang Ying, otherwise the other party may not tell him this.

"I want to hear about it!"

"In addition to what I just told you about understanding the art market, there is another important point. After a pause, Wang Ying leaned towards Wang Zheng, but his eyes glanced at the seat in front of him.

“…… Here, you can clearly observe the preferences of each of the people who participated in the auction!"

"Preferences?"

Some people like porcelain, and some people like calligraphy and painting, which is the difference between the categories of collections. There are finer differences. For example, some people may like blue and white porcelain, some people like multicolored porcelain, or some people like ancient paintings, and some people like the works of modern and modern masters. This is called turnips and greens, each with its own love. With this in mind, you will be more segmented in the market. When you have the right good object in your hand, you will know who to turn to. Increase the success rate of transactions. ”

"Also, do you see the bald head in front of you with the No. 23 bidding plate in his hand?"

Following the direction of Wang Ying's finger, Wang Zheng saw a bareheaded person sitting in the second row, but because he was facing away from him, he couldn't see his appearance clearly for the time being.

"See. Why, do you know this man?"

"Of course! He is the big boss of the Hengyuan Hotel in the capital, his name is Qin Jianjun, and his family fortune is more than one billion! He is also a person who likes vassal elegance, and he is a frequent visitor in the auction hall!"

"Oh!" Wang Zheng nodded knowingly.

"Of course, that's not the point. The point is that in the past two days or so auctions, this Boss Qin has raised his card seven or eight times to bid for fine paintings!"

"This Boss Qin likes to collect paintings, what's so strange about this!"

"Of course, it's not surprising that he likes to collect paintings! The point is that he has only succeeded in one of his seven or eight bids! And what does it mean that he is still sitting here?"

After thinking about it, Wang Zheng, who had no clue, said directly: "You better don't sell it, just say it." ”

"Alas, you guy really don't have any interest at all!" After shaking his head, "This shows that this Boss Qin likes fine calligraphy and painting during this time." If I bring a fine painting or calligraphy to him during this time, I am sure that I will be able to sell it for a high price. ”

After nodding suddenly, Wang Zheng said, "It turns out that you came with this kind of idea!"

"What do you call this kind of idea! This is the experience that the young master summed up when he was six years old and mixed with the antique world of Sijiu City. If it weren't for the two of us, I wouldn't have told you this!"

"Okay, then I'll admit it! However, you just said that during this time, will a person's collecting taste still change?"

"Of course! No matter how delicious a dish is, you will get tired of eating too much, and the same is true for collections. And now, 90 percent of the people who are involved in the collecting world don't know much about collecting, and they are purely juncture for the sake of vassal elegance or investment. Their tastes are like women's faces now, and they will change when they say they are! They may like calligraphy and painting today, but they may be optimistic about ancient porcelain next week, but if you don't understand clearly, how can things be sold at a high price? If they can't be sold at a high price, customers will look for other places, and how can we make money without customers? Moreover, there are quite a few art intermediary companies in these four or nine cities. ”

"Looks like you're really into the collecting business. I know everything so clearly!"

"That's it! In this forty-nine city, I don't dare to say anything else, if you want to talk about antiques and collections, we must be this!" When the words fell, Wang Ying gave a thumbs up, and his face was full of pride.

Seeing this, after praising a few words of appreciation, Wang Zheng's eyes showed a hint of thought, and he said with a certain look: "Since you know so much about the collection industry, do you have anyone who likes to collect Xiaoye red sandalwood old materials now?"

"Little leaf red sandalwood old material?"

"Of course there is!" Wang Ying said casually.

"Can you put me in touch?"

"Contact?" Wang Ying looked stunned, glanced at Wang Zheng, and found that the expression on his face didn't look like a joke, before he was surprised, "Of course there is no problem with contact." But do you have the material in your hands?"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng smiled, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the album, flipped through it, and handed it to Wang Ying.

"This is what I bought from India some time ago, and this photo is what the heartwood looks like after it has just been untied!" That being said, in fact, this photo was only taken by Wang Zheng this morning. And it was specially filmed to discuss the transaction with him.

Wang Ying's eyes widened instantly after his eyes touched the photo on the mobile phone screen, and then snatched it up, "I'm ...... Hmm!"

After quickly covering Wang Ying's mouth, Wang Zheng said in a low voice: "You be quiet, we are in the auction hall now, do you want to attract everyone's attention?"

After seeing Wang Ying nodding, Wang Zheng let go of his hand. (To be continued.) )
