Chapter 671 - Giving Respect to People, You Must Ask for It!
"Hmm." Fang Yuan agreed: "Let's take a look at the situation first. If the collector he was talking about really had something like that in his hands, then he would not delay in paying a visit. β
"It's fine, what can I delay?" Bao Longtu shrugged his shoulders and said: "After visiting the exhibition, I can play for two more days, and then I can go home." β
While chatting, the two watched the things in the exhibition hall for about ten minutes, and Qiu Bi walked back with a happy smile: "Bao Shao, I have contacted that family collection." β
"What did he say?" Bao Longtu asked, "Did you take a picture?" β
"Shoot, shoot." Qiu Bi hurriedly handed over his mobile phone, which contained a few photos.
Bao Longtu took a look at it, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Well, it looks quite similar, and there are not many rust spots, and the product is much better than the thing just now." β
"Look at it." Bao Longtu said, handing the phone to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan stared intently, only to see that the things on the photos on his mobile phone were indeed like knives and axes, and on the surface of the things, there were some ornaments. However, most of the ornaments are covered by shallow rust spots, and they are not clear in the photo.
"Like?" Bao Longtu asked curiously, "Is it the same thing?" β
"I don't know." Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Looking at the photos, after all, there is a layer of separation, and it is difficult to judge."
If there is a physical verification, you will know if it is the same thing. β
Qiu Bi hurriedly said: "The collector said that if the two of you are interested, you can make an appointment to come to him, and we can communicate and make friends." β
In the collecting world, people who play collecting have never cherished themselves behind closed doors. On the contrary, many people are happy to share their collections with others, communicate with each other, discuss research together, accumulate experience, and continuously improve and improve.
Of course, you have to know someone to bring home. Strangers who don't know the details and have no one to guarantee are estimated to be on guard, according to the ancient adage that wealth is not exposed, and they don't let people see their collections.
In this case, the role of the broker comes to the fore. As one of the oldest professions in the antique circle, even if there is a formal brokerage company, it cannot replace the status of a broker.
After all, a formal brokerage company pays more attention to the process, has more rules, and the handling fee is not low. Unlike the broker ship, it is more flexible and maneuverable. Sometimes, brokers help matchmaking, can not take your money, and aim to run a channel, a relationship channel.
The brokers of relatively high-ranking brokerage companies are undoubtedly more close to the people, more in line with the nature of large and small collectors, and naturally will not disappear and become extinct in the collecting world. Jobbi is a good example, it's not impossible to leave him, but it's certainly inconvenient.
"So?" Bao Longtu blinked, turned his head and said, "What do you think?" Appointment or not? β
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "How is tomorrow?" β
"Of course, no problem." Qiu Bi nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, then tomorrow morning." Bao Longtu made the final decision and continued to look at the exhibits.
Before I knew it, it was noon, and the owner of the exhibition finally appeared. It is said that he is a big man, about sixty or seventy years old, very kind and kind, and invites everyone to dine on the second floor with a smile.
After eating, drinking tea and resting for a while, it is a small auction. After all, it is not a formal auction, and the guests are also self-conscious, so the competition is not jΔ«lie.
During this period, Bao Longtu also got his wish and photographed a few things he liked. However, the picture of a high-imitation hairpin lady was taken away by a middle-aged man with a very elegant temperament. The middle-aged man was also a local tyrant, and he actually offered a price of 1 million yuan for an imitation, and others felt that it was not worth it, so they naturally gave it up.
All in all, by the time the auction ended, it was almost dusk, the exhibition was over, and everyone dispersed. Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu naturally followed the crowd and left.
However, the two of them walked to the door, and they heard someone calling: "Two gentlemen, please wait." β
"Huh?" Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu subconsciously turned around, but saw a beautiful woman in palace clothes swaying towards them.
"Pick-up? Affair? Fishing for Kaizi? β
In an instant, such a thought flashed through Fang Yuan and Bao Longtu's minds, and it wasn't that they thought too much. The main reason is that when they visited the exhibits just now, they noticed that some young people had no intention of watching the treasures at all, but hooked up with the palace ladies who served tea and wine next to them.
In the gold cave, in the joy field, the bottom line of morality is often very low. In this era when the social atmosphere is becoming more and more corrupt, people's hearts are not ancient, and people laugh at poverty and prostitution, such things are not uncommon. Besides, the two of them are also young and golden, and their looks are not bad, so it's not surprising that they have become the target of some girls.
However, it turned out that they really thought too much. At this time, the palace beauty came over and smiled: "Two gentlemen, someone asked me to bring this thing to you." β
"Huh?" When the two of them looked at it, they noticed that the palace beauties had a long box in their hands, which was the kind of special box used to place calligraphy and painting scrolls.
"Something for us?" Bao Longtu was surprised: "Is it a mistake?" β
"Is it Mr. Bao and Mr. Fang?" The palace beauties asked, and after seeing the two nodding, they immediately smiled and said, "Then that's right, it's for you." β
Bao Longtu looked left and right, and now the other guests did not receive gifts, indicating that this is not a gift to attend the exhibition, and he asked puzzled: "Who gave us something?" β
"It's another gentleman." The palace beauty pursed her lips and chuckled: "I don't know either, but I think it's your acquaintance." β
"Acquaintances?" Bao Longtu whispered to himself: "Could it be that Luoshui is also here?" β
"You give me a call and ask." Fang Yuan took the box chief handed by the palace beauty, and after saying thank you, he opened the box again, only to see that there was a scroll inside.
Bao Longtu's movements were not slow, he took out the roll maniac with his hand, and then untied the tether and unfolded. As soon as he saw the half-screenshot painting, he was stunned: "Hairpin lady." β
"Huh?" Fang Yuan was also stunned: "Wasn't this painting photographed?" β
The two remembered clearly that the person who took this painting was clearly a middle-aged man with an elegant bearing. Could it be that the man asked the palace beauties to bring the paintings to them?
The two of them were confused in their hearts, so they naturally asked. It's a pity that the palace beauty just helped to send things, and other things can be said to be unknowing, and the two of them had no choice but to let her leave.
"It's weird." Bao Longtu said inexplicably: "Maruko, do you know that person just now?" β
"Nonsense, you don't know each other, how can I know." Fang Yuan was also scratching his head: "Our circle of friends is similar, there's no reason why I don't know you." β
"yes." Bao Longtu nodded lightly and said vigilantly: "As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be a traitor or a thief, and you will ask for something when you are courteous, you say, how should this gift be handled?" β
"......, take it." Fang Yuan muttered: "If he has any purpose, he will definitely take the initiative to come to the door." At that time, just return the painting. β
"Okay." Bao Longtu agreed, after all, he admired the painting, which does not mean that it has to be. Otherwise, I would have fought to the end with that middle-aged man just now. Therefore, even if he returned the things, he would not feel distressed.
After making a decision, the two took their things and left.
Back at the hotel, they waited for a night, but no one came to visit, let alone contacted them. In short, it was as if the man was just sending a painting for the sake of sending it, and there was no movement.
When the two of them were tired, they simply went back to their rooms to sleep. I didn't say anything all night, and the next day I put this matter behind me, rented a car after breakfast, and then went to the agreed place to meet Qiu Bi.
"Bao Shao, Fang Shao, you are here."
Seeing the two of them, Qiu Bi's face was full of smiles, more enthusiastic than the sun in the sky. After opening the car door and letting him get into the car, Bao Longtu didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Where are you going now?" β
"The collector lives in a relatively remote area." Qiu Jianbi hurriedly said: "I need to go to the countryside to ......." β
"It's fine." Bao Longtu patted the steering wheel and said: "The car is already full of gas, even if you drive to Jingyi City, it will be no problem." β
"It's not that far." Qiu Bi smiled: "It's just over an hour's drive, ...... in the direction of the west of the city." β
Qiu Bi guided up, and Bao Longtu drove away in the car.
It's a little more than an hour's drive, and it's not that long. After all, if you concentrate on driving, it is not easy to detect the passage of time, and it passes quickly.
"Bao Shao, it's the town in front."
Under Qiu Bi's reminder, Bao Longtu also slowed down and slowly drove into the town. Fang Yuan took the opportunity to take a look, the town seemed to be a transportation hub or something, with a lot of vehicles and people, and it was quite lively and prosperous. In particular, the main street of the town, which is lined with dense shops, is very prosperous.
Sensing the surprise of the two, Qiu Bi explained with a smile: "It is said that the government government intends to build this place into a satellite city, and some merchants have already heard the wind and bought a lot of land to prepare for a large construction project. β
Hearing this, Bao Longtu's heart moved, and he asked, "What is the name of this town?" β
"Daxu Town." Qiu Bi paused, and added: "The Wei of the Wei Collection, because it is not far from Zhaoling, when Emperor Li Tang came here to worship Tang Taizong, he was stationed here. Over time, people moved here, forming a large polder group, and then the name Daxu town was born. β
"Oh." As soon as Bao Longtu heard this, he immediately glanced at Fang Yuan, and he knew it in his heart.
It is also a coincidence that the chairman of Tangwang Group asked them to plan and design the real estate, which seems to be nearby. But this matter is already yellow, otherwise they should have come here the day before yesterday to investigate.
Of course, the responsibility for this is not theirs, and they are not bad at this business, so there is nothing to regret, and the mentality is very peaceful.
While driving, Bao Longtu asked, "Is the collector you are talking about in town?" β
"In town, it's just more out of the way." Jobbi hurriedly led the way: "Turn right and go straight to the end, at the edge of the town, there is his house......"
