Chapter 32: Arrogant Little Japan

"Okay, let's go to Kyoto, Japan in a few hours, get off the plane and go to the hotel first, and go to Xijing for auction tomorrow morning, do our best to negotiate business, and we can still go around in the remaining days."

The two of them got on the plane, and Sun Yuyao was familiar with the road, and they had to go back and forth several times a year. Wu Tianyuan went to Japan for the first time, and he was a little excited, will the customs of the island country really be so open?

"When you lived in Kyoto, did you turn around their antique shop?"

"Of course, can you not take a look at your major?" Sun Yuyao smiled: "I'll go around if it's okay, not only Kyoto, but also other cities." In fact, it is not Kyoto that really has an ancient charm, but other small cities. ”

"In particular, temples are basically cultural relics, and the Japanese tea ceremony is prevalent, and many tea ceremonies are all antiques. Jianyao, Longquan celadon, Song and Yuan ancient paintings, etc. ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded and said: "I have read some materials, the Japanese tea ceremony pays attention to one period and one meeting, and it is very ceremonial, so I have the opportunity to appreciate it this time." ”

The two of them are very spiritual, Wu Tianyuan asked Sun Yuyao for advice on Japanese customs, and in the future, he was determined to search for Taobao overseas, and it was indispensable to run around often, and it was useful to know more.

chatting all the way, time passed quickly, and Wu Tianyuan found that Sun Yuyao was very lively by nature, but he just liked to disguise himself with cold arrogance. I don't know what I've been through?

"When we arrive, let's take a taxi to the hotel first, have a good night's rest, and then go to work tomorrow."

The two of them left the Kyoto airport, and Sun Yuyao got into a car in fluent Japanese and went all the way to the hotel in the city center. Along the way, Wu Tianyuan looked at the night view of Kyoto, which is worthy of being one of the most prosperous cities in Asia, with a lot of traffic and very lively.

"This is your room card, you have to keep this address, in case you can't find it, you can show it to the driver."

Sun Yuyao checked in and said with a smile: "Our mobile phones are all global, call directly, you don't want to sneak out alone to do anything bad!" ”

"Is that possible? I'm a gentleman, no! ”

Wu Tianyuan looked helpless, he was really a little cautious and went to see the nightlife in Kyoto, but the result was .......

"Okay, I'm tired of the day, rest early, have breakfast together at eight o'clock tomorrow, and then go to Xijing for auction."

Wu Tianyuan went back to his room, cleaned up, and lived here this week. After washing, take out the itinerary that you have organized. Hurry up and get your business done, and then go to Taobao to pick up the leaks.

"Can you feel the fan of the other Wanliutang?" Wu Tianyuan took out Wu Changshuo's fan and asked.

"I seem to have a sense that there must be other brothers in this place, but the exact location is not clear."

Wu Tianyuan nodded, it seems that this method is feasible, but the distance is too far, and it is okay to take the fan to the place where the antiques are concentrated, maybe there will be a harvest.

"What is the origin of this Xijing auction?"

After the two of them had dinner the next morning, they went directly to Xijing for auction, and Wu Tianyuan asked curiously in the car.

"The founder is also a friendly person between China and Japan, likes our culture and antiques, and the domestic market has been good in recent years, and it has grown from a small auction to one of the largest companies in Kyoto. I used to intern there for three months, and I was familiar with it, but last year I happened to explore overseas markets, and we cooperated once, and the results were good. ”

"The most in Japan should also be the antiques after the Republic of China, especially Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi and Wang Yiting, the three of them are known as the three families who crossed the sea. Wu Changshuo is their most respected master, especially calligraphy and seal carving, which has survived more in the world. ”

Wu Tianyuan also did a lot of homework, Japan in the Republic of China period on a large collection of antiques, the Tang and Song Dynasty are very respectful, including the tea ceremony and incense ceremony are developed from that time, now it is more than domestic.

"Yes, this time they collected a lot of authentic works of Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi, dozens of large and small, all of which were raw goods, and they appeared on the market for the first time. Ready to open the domestic market, I want to find a collaborator. I only learned the news in advance because of my previous relationship, and I hope that this cooperation will be successful. ”

The two of them soon arrived at a building in the city center, and the fifth floor is the Xijing auction, which is not large, but it can have an office in the center of the city, and it is also a powerful company.

"Yuyao, welcome back!"

As soon as he got out of the elevator, a young man in his early thirties greeted him, pulled Sun Yuyao with a smile, and said hello.

"Inoshita-kun, long time no see!"

Sun Yuyao smiled, greeted in Japanese, and then introduced Wu Tianyuan to this person named Jingxia.

"He is Inoshitoro, the business manager of Xijing Auction, and a senior appraiser, with good eyesight, this time we are mainly talking about cooperation with him."

Wu Tianyuan greeted him with a smile in English, and the well was very polite, so he quickly let the two of them into the office and chatted with Sun Yuyao while making tea.

"Yu Yao, I shouldn't have seen you for almost a year last time, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

The well praised Sun Yuyao, his little eyes kept scanning the bumpy figure, Wu Tianyuan looked a little disgusting, looking like a pervert.

"Thank you for your compliment, this time we are talking about cooperation with Xijing on behalf of Zhongzheng Auction, please take care of me!"

Sun Yuyao frowned, she didn't like this well either, she had been squinting before, but she didn't have any excessive actions. This time it's for business, there's no way.

"This is nature!" When Inoshita heard about the business, he immediately got up strictly, and said: "First of all, congratulations to Zhongzheng Auction for a good start, and we in Xijing Auction also hope to cooperate with the strong to open up new markets together!" ”

Wu Tianyuan nodded, the Japanese really respect the strong in their bones, the more powerful you are, the more respectful they are, this is the national characteristic, right?

"Please come with me to the warehouse to appreciate the lot we have prepared this time." Underground took the two of them directly to the warehouse and talked while looking at the collections.

"Hello Mr. Li, long time no see."

As soon as Sun Yuyao entered the warehouse, he greeted an old man in his early sixties warmly, and he also used Chinese.

"Little girl, you haven't come to see me for more than a year, your grandfather is still in good health, right?" Li Lao stood up, patted Sun Yuyao's head with a smile, and said kindly.

"He has been talking about you old, and this time he specially asked me to bring you good tea, I didn't know you were here today, and I will send it directly to your home tomorrow."

Sun Yuyao hurriedly introduced Wu Tianyuan: "This is Li Lao, a senior expert, who was good friends with my grandfather in his early years, and now he has moved to Japan and is also an honorary appraiser in Xijing. ”

Wu Tianyuan said with a smile: "Hello Li, I'm Wu Tianyuan, a new appraiser in Zhongzheng, please mention more." ”

"Okay, young people have a future, learn more and watch more, and it will be your world in the future!"

"Mr. Li, this time we are going to talk about cooperation with Zhongzheng, please ask them to come and see the lots, you are also there, discuss it together?"

The well didn't dare to snub Li Lao, he was a big expert, and Xijing had to rely on his palm to identify many lots. He is also a big collector, and he has to be auctioned every year, and he has a good relationship with the big boss.

"Well, you go and take it out, and let's study it together."

Several people wore white gloves, this time they were all ancient books of calligraphy and painting, and they could not be touched directly, so it was safe to wear gloves.

Several staff members took the lots out of the safe and placed them on the appraisal table, and the four of them began to look at the things.

This is Wu Changshuo master Ding Mao Nian Xingshu vertical scroll, 150cm by 80cm, the size is large, the style is also Mei Lu Jun to drink under the Mao Pavilion, the rate into three quatrains, just laughing, did not dare to say poetry. Seal Changshuo, Wu Junqing. ”

Insubachi looked proud, and proudly explained in Japanese, this time it is about cooperation, and the main and secondary are clearly distinguished. Xijing wants to use Zhongzheng to attack the domestic market, rather than letting the other party use itself to become stronger and bigger. So be tough and take the initiative!

"How?" Jing Xia looked at Sun Yuyao and Wu Tianyuan proudly, and said with a smile: "Even in your country, it is rare to see such a large-scale master Xingshu, right?" Isn't it Yuyao? ”
