Chapter 27: Picking up leaks among peers
"You said that the other fans went to Japan?"
In the evening, Wu Tianyuan chatted with the newcomer Wan Liutang, and sure enough, there were some clues, but they were in Japan!
"We have more than 1,000 brothers and sisters at most, but then the owner of Lianquan fell into the middle of the road, and his wife was seriously ill, and more than half of the noodles were sold in a few years. Later, they simply went to the temple to live in seclusion, and finally bought a batch of hundreds of our fine products from an antique dealer surnamed Li! ”
"I'll tell you, then that kid is not authentic, and he doesn't pay the debt! What did the buyer flee in the war and did not receive the money. In fact, I sold the other brothers to the Japanese at a high price! I guess they're all in Japan now, so we don't know where they are. ”
When Wu Tianyuan heard it, it should be right, he had studied historical materials, and Wanliutang had lost a small amount of people. A large part of the people who went to Japan through various channels, especially Wu Changshuo, who was very sought after in the hearts of the Japanese. In the early 90s, when Japan's economy was developed, many people came to China to buy Wu Changshuo's works on a large scale.
In particular, there are as many fans and stamps as there are. However, in recent years, Japan's economy has been in recession, many antiques have returned to China, auction houses like to collect lots overseas, and collectors often go abroad to hunt for treasures, which has become a new trend.
Wu Tianyuan put the fan away, went downstairs and lay on the bed, sorting out what had happened recently. The harvest is naturally huge, and with this ability, he can be accurate in both leakage and identification!
In just half a month, I bought a villa and a luxury car, and I still have more than 4 million cash in my hand, which I couldn't have imagined before. But now it's not all smooth sailing, Li Yang, Lao Li, and that Liu Ming in the company are all opponents, and Xie is even more endless.
But the more pressure you have, the stronger you have to rise! People are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, the stronger you are, the more afraid the enemy is of you. Powerful enough that they look up to you, and in turn worship you even more, this is human nature!
"Today is very rewarding, and in the future, I will use the ability not only to pick up leaks, but also to hunt for treasures! There are many genuine works among the people, but they are scattered all over the place. In particular, systematic collections, such as Wanliutang, are more closely linked after being self-contained, and are most likely to find other similar ones through guò clues. ”
Wu Tianyuan sorted out his thoughts and planned the next step: "There are many other places to pick up leaks, such as peers, pawn shops, and even overseas!" According to statistics, at least 10 million cultural relics have been lost overseas, and there is still huge potential to be tapped, since I have this ability, I must make full use of them and collect them back to China! ”
"What? Do you want to go to other peers? ”
Lao Yu looked at Wu Tianyuan with a surprised face, and early in the morning, this kid came to ask himself if there was a way to go around his peers.
"I also had a whim, there are too many fake goods in the private sector now, and there is no value in collecting them at all. Many major auction houses have given up on China and turned to overseas treasure hunting. One is also a reflux cultural relic, which is both good and of high quality. ”
Lao Yu nodded and agreed: "This is true, not only the four major auction houses, but even our Zhongzheng began to explore the Japanese market last year." Sun Yuyao studied in Japan and is very familiar with it, and will go on a business trip to Japan in a few days to collect lots. ”
"Oh?" Wu Tianyuan's heart moved, this is a good way, fakes are rampant in China now, and even the price of genuine products is inflated. On the contrary, there are a lot of lost antiques overseas, and it is more advantageous to go there to pick up the leaks by yourself.
"As for the auction house you are talking about? This is very difficult, they are all peers, and no one is stupid. Lao Yu shook his head and said: "But pawnshops may have a chance, after all, they are not really professionals, and it is possible to pick up leaks." ”
After speaking, he took out a list and handed it to Wu Tianyuan and said: "Here are seven or eight pawn shops in this city that have business contacts with our Zhongzheng, and they sometimes send some dead pawns to auction, you are now an appraiser, you can go around." ”
Lao Yu looked at Wu Tianyuan with some excitement, and said with a smile: "Your kid has good eyesight, but don't report any big hopes, you also need luck and fate to pick up leaks, you still have to work hard from a senior collector." After all, we are an auction house, and it is the right way to collect existing auctions with orderly inheritance. ”
"Thank you Uncle Yu, I just had a whim, I'll go and see it when I have time, you also know that I'm a newcomer and have no connections, where can I go to collect things from senior collectors?"
"You kid guarding Baoshan doesn't know! Last time, I saw that Song Lao had a good impression of you, he is a very powerful local collector, and he has a lot of good things in his hands. Even if you don't shoot for the time being, it's definitely good for you to go to the relationship more, I can't think of this? ”
Wu Tianyuan patted his head, he only thought about picking up the leaks himself, forgetting that the auction house is mainly to collect the collections of senior collectors through guò relations. After all, it's a small probability, and even if you have an ability, it's not a regular thing.
"Thank you for reminding me, I'll go to visit Song Lao in the next two days and ask him for advice."
Lao Yu is also very optimistic about Wu Tianyuan, his eyesight is amazing, and he is also humble and studious.
"Yu Yao, I heard that you are going to Japan for an inspection in a few days?"
Wu Tianyuan happened to meet Sun Yuyao at noon, and the relationship between the two is also good now, after the last Xie preview, Sun Yuyao was very interested in Wu Tianyuan, and the relationship slowly became familiar with each other.
"Yes, I spent two years in Japan, so I was familiar with it, and my grandfather put me in charge of developing the Japanese market. The collection of famous collections is also a major way for Zhongzheng to return in the future. ”
While eating, Sun Yuyao explained: "We had business dealings with Xijing Auction last year, and we also held two tea props special sessions. This spring auction has a good effect, and the next thing is a fixed special sale every month, and I want to collect some lots. ”
Wu Tianyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Can I go around with you?" ”
"Oh? Are you also interested? ”
Sun Yuyao was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "This is no problem, it is more reassuring to have you as a big expert to follow me!" You can still learn it casually, right? ”
Wu Tianyuan looked at Sun Yuyao's smile like a flower, and his heart fluttered, don't look at the usual arrogant face, it's very cute to smile!
"Then I'll go to Sun Lao and talk to you, and go with you to see the world!" Wu Tianyuan said with a smile: "I haven't been abroad yet, the eldest girl is in a sedan chair, the first time!" ”
The two of them talked and laughed, Sun Yuyao was very curious about Wu Tianyuan, and admired his eyesight, she had a very high vision, and no one of her peers could make her look at it. Wu Tianyuan is an exception, born in a civilian family, and his eyesight is more vicious than that of the older generation. In addition, I have made a great contribution to Zhongzheng and helped my grandfather reduce pressure, and I am very grateful.
"You're going to Japan too?"
When Sun Lao heard this, he nodded and said, "It's okay, I don't worry about Yuyao going alone, it's just right for you to follow." It's absolutely no problem to have your palm, this time you are going to talk about cooperation with Xijing Auction. They are also interested in exploring the domestic market, and there happens to be a batch of lots by Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi, you go and see how it goes. ”
"No problem, I haven't been to Japan, and I happen to have a tour guide and translator with Yu Yao, hehe."
"By the way, where does Song Lao live? Uncle Yu said that let me go to the relationship more, and as a junior, I should also pay a visit. ”
Sun Lao smiled: "You only know to go now?" Lao Song is a big collector and has a lot of good treasures, so let's go with you tomorrow and talk to him. ”
