Chapter 24: Qi Baishi's Shrimp?
"Tianyuan, today it is your turn to do an appraisal in the company, as long as the guest comes to let us palm, you will be responsible."
Lao Yu explained to Wu Tianyuan early in the morning: "Your eyesight is absolutely fine, but you should pay attention to it, that is, you should speak tactfully!" ”
Lao Yu sighed: "You also know that the market is basically fakes now, and I haven't seen a real thing for a month!" Many people come with great hopes, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. There was once a retired old man who bought a blue and white porcelain with his life savings, and the result was a modern imitation, not even a high imitation. Fainted on the spot and sent to the hospital! ”
Wu Tianyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle Yu, don't worry, I know how to measure, if I am young, I will say it slowly, don't scare them." ”
Lao Yu patted Wu Tianyuan on the shoulder with satisfaction, this kid is calm and more assured. Then follow the others out to contact the client, although the spring auction is over, but there are at least a few small special sessions every month, and each appraiser has to collect the collection. Cooperate with the business department and the marketing department to come to the appraisal, and it is very busy every day.
"By the way, today, Vice President Liu of the company greeted him in advance, saying that a friend is coming to identify calligraphy and painting, and you are responsible for the reception, I just have something to do, hard work!"
Before Lao Li went out, he suddenly told Wu Tianyuan that Liu was always the second in command of the company and did not understand antiques, but he had a wide range of contacts and was good at capital operation, and he was second only to Sun Zhongzheng.
"Yes, I know!"
Wu Tianyuan didn't raise his head, he didn't have a good impression of Li Hongfei at all, the interview was difficult for himself, and he also collected black money to operate in the dark. Now they are all appraisers, so naturally they don't have a good face.
Li Hongfei flashed angrily, turned around and left, now Wu Tianyuan is a big celebrity, a treasure in the eyes of Sun Lao. Needless to say, the eyesight is lucky, a spring auction earns tens of millions! He is not the stunned green like Li Yang, he is a fool when he hits hard, and the future will be long!
Wu Tianyuan cleaned up and went to the conference room to wait for the guests to come to the door, in fact, there was also a trick in the company's appraisal. For example, if there is really a genuine product coming to the door, do you say it? said that it was the company's business, and at most he would give verbal praise.
If you don't say it, contact it privately, it may be a leak! But this kind of thing can't be done often, the circle is very small, and it's easy to goof. Once discovered, your reputation will stink, and no one will use you for identification.
"Old man, your plate is not real, yes, it's not from Qianlong's time! It should be the Republic of China, and it is also a decades-old object, yes, it is worth one or two thousand! ”
"This is a modern imitation! It's the same for how much money you sell, okay, whatever you want, our company doesn't charge it! ”
Wu Tianyuan picked up six or seven guests in the morning, none of them were genuine, the oldest was a Republic of China imitation, stood up and stretched, and was about to get off work to eat.
"Xiao Wu, you're just right, come and see this!" As soon as the door opened, a fat man in his forties entered, smiling and kind. He was followed by a young man with an arrogant face.
"Mr. Liu, I'll take a look!"
Wu Tianyuan saw that it was Liu Ming, the company's second-in-command, who had seen it a few times in the spring auction, but he hadn't said a few words. He is not a first-hand person, he is mainly responsible for the business department and the marketing department. The appraisal department, the auction department, and the finance department are in charge of Mr. Sun, and the two have also cooperated for many years and made money together.
"Qi Baishi's shrimp?"
Wu Tianyuan opened the scroll, and it turned out to be a fish and shrimp picture of Master Qi Baishi, which is his most common work. Qi Baishi aquarium is the first, followed by landscapes, and has the fewest characters. Moreover, the old man Shiraishi is a professional painter who makes a living by selling paintings, and the most conservative estimate is that there are 30,000 works in existence.
So the price varies greatly, some of the same square feet are tens of millions, and some are hundreds of thousands! It depends on whether it is a masterpiece or a general entertainment work.
"He's an appraiser? Okay? ”
The young man who came with him looked at Wu Tianyuan, who was about the same age as himself, and asked Liu Ming with some dissatisfaction.
"Li Shao, don't worry, don't look at Xiao Wu's young age, his eyesight is first-class!" Liu Ming said with some flattery: "Last week's spring auction, he picked up the missing Gu Jingzhou stone scoop pot and shot 10 million!" We are our most powerful appraiser. ”
"Really?" When Li Shao heard this, he looked at Wu Tianyuan with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Okay, I believe you once!" Then he turned around and sat down on the couch and played with his phone.
Liu Ming walked to Wu Tianyuan's side and said in a low voice: "This is a son-in-law with a background, the company has something to ask his father, you just tell the truth!" Then you get it at a high price, and you don't have to worry about other things! ”
Wu Tianyuan felt sick for a while, there are unspoken rules everywhere? Isn't this secretly giving money? But I'm also the vice president, so I didn't speak, I looked at the painting first.
"What is this?" Wu Tianyuan frowned at first sight, not to mention listening with his ears, he knew at a glance that it was a fake painting! And it's a garbage without any technical content, the shrimp is soft, the fish rolls its eyes, and even if you paint it yourself, it's better than it.
"Mr. Liu, this is too fake, right?" Wu Tianyuan gestured to Liu Ming with his eyes and said in a low voice.
Mr. Liu's dissatisfaction flashed, and he said in a low voice: "Don't care!" Just according to the real painting, I'll take care of the rest! ”
Wu Tianyuan's heart sank, and he said dissatisfied: "You can't say this, you are responsible?" After the appraisal, I have to sign and confirm, and I will carry everything in the future, how can you be responsible? ”
"You!" Liu Ming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became angry, he was a dignified vice president, and a newcomer dared not listen to what he explained?
But at this time, he couldn't tear his face, suppressed his anger and said again: "This kind of thing often happens, don't worry, if I say it's okay, it's okay!" ”
Wu Tianyuan turned around and took out a piece of paper, handed it to Liu Mingdao: "No problem, please leave a certificate for Mr. Liu, I will have an explanation in the future, and the rest is fine!" ”
"Yo, Lao Liu, it seems that your words as vice president don't work!" The young man had already heard the muttering of the two people, and stood up with a smile, a little disdainful.
"Wu Tianyuan, you are just an appraiser, I am the vice president, let you do it, where is the nonsense!"
Liu Ming's face darkened, except for Sun Zhongzheng, even if he had a high position. Now there is a newcomer who is disobedient, and he still slaps his face naked in front of Li Shao!
Wu Tianyuan smiled faintly and wrote lightly: "I am an appraiser, I belong to the appraisal department, and it should not belong to you Deputy General Manager Liu, right?" ”
Looking at the fat fat on Liu Fatzi's face, Wu Tianyuan continued: "Appraisal is to bear responsibility, once something happens, it will be my reputation!" It's just this kind of garbage, it's not even a high imitation, and I'm ashamed to spread it! ”
"Good, good!" Liu Ming was angry, no one dared to talk to him like this for many years, staring at Wu Tianyuan, ultimatum: "I'll ask you one last time, do you have an appraisal?" ”
Wu Tianyuan packed up his things, saw that he was just going to get off work to eat, answered lazily, turned around and left the conference room. Left behind Liu Ming, who was thunderous, and Li Shao, who was smiling.
"Forget it, Liu Ming, it seems that you are nothing more than this in the company! I won't force you, wait for your son's business, I'll talk about it when I have a chance later! ”
Li Shao patted Liu Ming and left with a shameful smile, it doesn't matter, some people are looking for their own errands, not bad for this one!
"Wu Tianyuan! You wait! ”
Liu Ming slapped the table hard, his whole body trembling with anger, originally wanted to use the company's relationship to help his son find a good job. This kind of thing has been done several times with Lao Li and Li Yang, but it is fine, and it is difficult for Sun Zhongzheng to find out if he puts it in the warehouse casually.
As a result, Lao Li had an urgent matter today, and said that he had greeted Wu Tianyuan, and Liu Ming couldn't imagine that he would be embarrassed when he was killed! A dignified vice president, being taught a lesson by a newcomer, is really angry!
"What? Wu Tianyuan really didn't give you face? ”
At noon, Lao Li was called to the office by Liu Ming, he really had something to do in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be this result?
"That Wu Tianyuan, it's really shameless! If a newcomer dares not to listen to me, I will tell the personnel department in the afternoon that he will be fired immediately! ”
Liu Ming hated and couldn't settle down, he really lost face today, how will Li Shao see himself in the future? The son's matter is definitely no fun!
When Li Hongfei heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Liu, don't say that I hit you, everyone else can be fired, Wu Tianyuan, you really can't move?" ”
"What?" Liu Ming was shocked, he was not a fool, and after being angry, he also confused Wu Tianyuan where he came from such a bold person? Now Li Hongfei said it and asked.
"Wu Tianyuan is not coming by himself, but Sun Zhongzheng personally invited others to come over!"
Li Hongfei told Liu Ming about the matter in 1510, and finally admonished: "I said something that I don't like, now Sun Zhongzheng has noticed it, especially Sun Yuyao's girl also came to the company, and Lao Yu, a few people stared at the appraisal department to death!" Not to mention others, my financial route has also been cut off a lot! ”
"This Wu Tianyuan's eyesight is amazing, and Sun Zhongzheng trusts him very much. Xie's preview was planned by him alone, and even Xie Rongcheng planted a big heel. Mr. Liu, do you want to think twice? ”
Liu Ming's face was gloomy after hearing this, and he spoke for a while: "Then forget it this time?" ”
Li Hongfei said with a sneer: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!" Don't be in a hurry, it's not just us now, but also Li Yang's kid is also Wu Tianyuan's sworn enemy! Let's let him take the lead, find an opportunity to make a move, and kill that kid at once, wouldn't it be happy? ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" After all, Liu Ming is very deep in the city, and he is normal, and said with a smile: "Now is the time for the company to employ people, so naturally we can't waste talents, right?" By the way, sit together at night? ”
"No problem, there is a customer who also wants to talk to Mr. Liu, go have a few drinks after work!"
