Chapter 156, the dog's eyes look down on people

Although Lin Yi is a layman, he also knows that the "appraiser" in the auction house is a very popular and important person. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As a result, many excellent appraisers have become the sought-after goods of many auction houses, the reason is very simple, most of the appraisers are "golden eyes", at a glance can see the authenticity of jewelry and antiques, see the value contained, so that the auction house can grasp the first-hand information of the lot for the first time. In addition, helping customers to do treasure appraisal for a fee is also one of the high incomes of many auction houses. It can be said that an excellent appraiser is a cash cow that can bring profits to the company; Because of this, the status and salary of appraisers have all risen in Hong Kong. It is said that in a small auction house in Hong Kong, the most ordinary appraiser can also earn a monthly salary of more than 100,000 yuan, and the most senior appraiser, the salary is terrible, and the monthly salary of one million is still less.

In front of him, this bald man who is not good-looking turned out to be a great appraiser with a high professional title, which responds to the sentence, people can't be good-looking.

At this moment, the bald man Mike Lee is still busy answering the phone, but he is using Hong Kong Pu, only occasionally mixed with some English: "The appraiser qualification training is already very popular." In terms of tuition fees, they are happy to receive money for a year and teach them three months of course. Young people, there are a few who can study for a year, and some of them only want to go to others for a few days, and now shortening the time is exactly what they want...... Now everything is perfec (perfect) and no one will chew their tongues anymore......"

"As for the training content, it's okay to compress it, as a training instructor, I will reflect to the above, everything is OK. Like those ordinary treasure appreciation, as well as the messy courses such as actual combat drills, they are all deleted...... nobody---is---perfect, they are here to ask for certificates, not to be apprentices, and these skills are not to be taught by hand, they need to be honed and practiced. Remember clearly, our purpose is to collect tuition, the shorter the teaching time, the better it is for us, they don't want to study for that long, we can't teach so much, shorten the time, increase the tuition, and do everything! ”

Lin Yi calmed down, sat on the sand and waited, and finally waited for the bald man to hang up the phone, and hurriedly said, "Hello, I'm ......"

"Jingle bell", the hung up phone rang again.

The bald man Mike Lee motioned for Lin Yi to wait a little longer, picked up the phone, and a snorting female voice came, the bald man glanced at Lin Yi, then lowered his voice and said in Cantonese: "Hey, Annie?" The restaurant is already booked, and the Pacific Place is ...... It's not too good, although you are celebrating my birthday, I still hope to be able to bury yourself with you, find a quiet and young place, communicate well, communicate well...... There are too many acquaintances in the restaurant, and I'm afraid of ...... Oh no, soory, Annie! I'm not afraid that I will be buried with you, but I have a bright teacher-student relationship with you, and I don't mind people watching it......"

Lin Yi didn't understand it very well, but he had been in Hong Kong for so many days, and he could still guess the meaning. It seems that this named Annie is Mike Lee's female apprentice, and today the female apprentice celebrated the birthday of her teacher Mike Lee and booked a place at Pacific Place, Mike Lee was afraid of being seen by acquaintances, so she was reluctant to do so. And this woman is obviously the legendary "Hong Kong girl", which is difficult to deal with and serve, which makes Mike Lee have a headache.

Lin Yi didn't know if he guessed right, the bald man Mike Lee's expression became more and more mysterious, he glanced at Lin Yi again, turned his head, took the phone and lowered his voice and said: "It's terrible, it's better to go to your house, I'll buy a bottle of high-calorie red wine and your candlelight dinner, order?" I'm familiar with your home, and I've tried to go there once or twice...... The beggar hates it, what about the teacher, the teacher will be angry......" The bald man's final trills were like honey.

Although Lin Yi couldn't hear it clearly, the bald man Mike Lee's last expression and tone were too ecstatic, which made him immediately get goosebumps all over his body.

……

Seeing that this appraisal master who "cultivates both inside and outside" is really "too busy", it is estimated that he will not have time to take care of himself for a while and a half, and it is not a way to sit like a fool, so Lin Yi stood up and looked around with his hands behind his back.

The office is large, with a variety of awards and diplomas hanging on the walls around it.

There is a "AAA-level appraiser" qualification certificate, a "best appraiser" certificate, and a high-degree diploma written in English, so many English words, Lin Yi can only understand one "Columbia", the reason is because Lin Yi often watches pirated movies of Hollywood "Columbia", and at the beginning of the film, the English words of Colombia came out, and it is impossible to know them if you don't want to......

In addition to these, there are also many photos hanging on the wall, the photos are photos of Mr. Mike Lee with many people, there are business celebrities and political celebrities, those people often appear in the financial section of Hong Kong TV newspapers, Lin Yi knows very little, but there are also some photos of Mike Lee and movie stars, a big-nosed man with a V gesture, and a kung fu superstar who became popular with "Ip Man......

If it weren't for hearing that the bald-headed Mr. Mike Lee was busy engaging in "teacher-student love", Lin Yi would definitely be in awe just by seeing these things, but now, I just think these things are nothing more than that.

After reading the award certificate on the wall, Lin Yi shook to the bookshelf again, the habit of "buying books" made him can't help but pull out a book casually, and read a few times, the content is about jadeite identification, too professional, Lin Yi casually flipped through a few pages, it was a little boring. Although he likes to read, the books that Lin Yi reads must be what he likes. So he only looked at it for a while, and then stuffed it back into the bookshelf, and then looked at the others, most of them were English books, which was even more unfathomable, and Lin Yi, who loved books as much as his life, completely lost interest in this bookshelf.

So Lin Yi left the bookshelf and paced to the feng shui fish next to him, only to see three koi fish with beautiful patterns swimming freely in the tank.

Lin Yitong's heart flickered, and he gently knocked on the fish tank with his hand, and the koi fish was so frightened that he hurriedly swam away, Lin Yi couldn't help but be interested, so he picked up the fish food left next to him and fed it little by little.

At this moment, the voice of Mike Lee, a bald man, came from behind him, "Hey, what are you doing?" ”

Lin Yi's hand shook, and the whole package of fish food fell in, and the three fish hurriedly grabbed the food, and the fish tank was in chaos.

"Oh nothing, just a casual look!" Lin Yi pretended that nothing had happened, and calmly returned to his seat.

……

The bald man Mike Lee was obviously in a happy mood, perhaps having reached a tryst agreement with his lover, and when he saw Lin Yi sitting down, he said, "coffee---or---tea?" ”

Lin Yi was stunned, but he also understood, "Then tea." ”

Mike Lee politely poured him a cup of tea and said, "This cup is a great English black tea, I hope you like it...... Oh yes, I was so busy just now that I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Mike Lee, and I'm a senior appraiser at New Century Auctions. Hmm, may I ask which company you sent from......"

Lin Yi: "Oh, you may have misunderstood, I'm not from any company, I'm from myself......"

"Coming by yourself?!" Mike Lee glanced at Lin Yi, looked at him, and then politely took the cup of tea away, and said, "This cup of tea is good, but the taste is a little bitter, I'm afraid you won't get used to it!" Then he pulled out a box of cigarettes, "Smoking?" This is a small cigar and it is rare to find it on the market! ”

"Since you're so polite, then I'll have one!" Lin Yi took the cigarette.

Mike Lee: "May I ask if you are here to consult, our company provides all kinds of jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as auction work, of course, in these services, we will charge the corresponding appraisal fee according to the market price...... If you have any needs, just ask, the purpose of our company service is: the---customer---is---always---the---first! ”

Lin Yi was a little confused.

Seeing this, Mike Lee explained: "I'm sorry, I'm used to speaking English, which means --- customer is always number one. ”

Lin Yi was a little speechless, and finally found an opportunity, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, actually...... I'm not a customer either. ”

"Not a customer? So who are you and what are you doing here? Mike Lee was surprised.

"I'm here to visit, that's ......" didn't wait for Lin Yi to say that Hai Baichuan had asked him.

Mike Lee interrupted him again, "Visiting? Visiting here? He was stunned for a moment, then politely took the cigar back and said, "Smoking is not good, smoking is harmful to health, especially young people like you, you should pay more attention to your body." ”

Lin Yi: "......"

This thing is a chameleon.

"Well, what's your name?" Just as Lin Yi was thinking, Mike Lee had already gotten up and looked at him with a very proud look.

"Lin Yi."

"Do you have any friends here?"

"Nope."

"Relatives?"

"Not either."

“oh,my---god! This is not there, that is not there, I wonder, how did you get in? This is not a place where anyone can come......" Mike Lee frowned, looking at his eyes and tone, he almost called the security guards to come and kick Lin Yi out.

Lin Yi scratched his head, and finally spoke, with a calm expression: "It was Mr. Hai who invited me to come." (To be continued.) )
