(Went to Zhengzhou for a meeting, the update was a little late, sorry!) ）

said that the bald man Mike Lee didn't hear clearly at first, so he asked Lin Yi: "Who did you say invited you?" ”

Lin Yi repeated indifferently, "Hai Baichuan, Mr. Hai." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Suddenly, Mike Lee's face became very strange, he looked at Lin Yi and said, "Is it really Mr. Hai who invited you here?" His eyes rolled around as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, I saw a man come in and say, "That's right, I invited him...... What, Mike, what's your opinion? ”

With the words, Hai Baichuan appeared in front of Lin Yi with a smile.

Mike Lee didn't seem to expect Hai Baichuan to suddenly appear, so he said to Lin Yi with a smile: "It turns out that it is really a distinguished guest, forgive me for taking the liberty of being sorry." ”

For some reason, Lin Yi suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong with Hai Baichuan and this Mike Lee.

It stands to reason that Hai Baichuan is the boss and Mike Lee is a subordinate, and the two should have a subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates, but the expressions of Hai Baichuan and Mike Lee are full of intriguing flavors.

Especially when he saw the sudden sea of rivers, Mike Lee did not have the panic and apprehension of offending the boss and guests, but he didn't smile and didn't care much.

Looking at Hai Baichuan again, although he had a smile on his face, there was a trace of anger hidden in his eyes, but this anger was suppressed and could not be released.

Lin Yi felt weird, but Ma Shanghai Baichuan said again: "Mike, you may not have heard of this Mr. Lin, but not long ago he showed his skills in the mainland and Hong Kong art exhibitions, in addition to painting a good painting, but also a good hand, what is even more rare is that his brush calligraphy teacher inherited the 'magic pen' Wang Duo, now do you understand what I mean?" ”

Mike glanced at Lin Yi in a little surprise, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that he is a big calligrapher, no wonder Boss Hai is so favored...... Well, it's just that the interlacing is like a mountain, even if it is the essence of Wang Duo's grass, it may not be able to identify the authenticity of Wang Duo's authentic works......"

Lin Yi heard it clearly, according to Hong Kong dialect, what kind of plane is he doing? Could it be that Boss Hai invited himself to come here to help with treasure appreciation?

Lin Yi really guessed it right now.

It turned out that Hai Baichuan was at odds with Mike Lee, the chief appraiser of the company, and the main reason was that Mike Lee was not the "own family" of New Century Auction Company, but a "nail" parachuted from Christie's. According to the affiliation between Christie's and New Century, this Mike Lee does not take Hai Baichuan as the president very seriously, and he is very self-assured, thinking that there are few appraisers in this company who are really capable except for himself.

There is a big backer behind him, and he is arrogant and arrogant, and the result is that he does not obey the management at work and does not take the authority of Hai Baichuan in his eyes.

Hai Baichuan has always had opinions about him, but because of Christie's face and his own ability, it is difficult to deal with him. But recently, Hai Baichuan couldn't help it, and privately cultivated a team of appraisers, ready to replace Mike Lee and his people. But this Mike Lee is shrewd like a ghost, and he has no handle to catch, so he has no way to make the sea miserable.

However, recently there was an opportunity, it turned out that a customer took a cursive calligraphy by Wang Duo, a great calligrapher in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and asked the New Century Auction Company to help identify the auction.

Mike Lee said at a glance that the painting was real and worth at least more than 10 million, but Hai Baichuan privately asked his team and came to the conclusion that it was a fake.

That's weird.

Hai Baichuan believes in his team, but Mike Lee's ability in identification is obvious to all, so who is true and who is false, who is right and who is wrong, is entangled.

Hai Baichuan certainly hopes that his team is right, so that he can find an excuse to kick Mike Lee out, and even if he can't, he can be demoted. But this kind of "family matter" can't rely on outside forces, so as not to be ridiculed by other companies after they know about it. So Hai Baichuan wanted to find someone who knew calligraphy and painting, especially Wang Duo's penmanship, to help identify, but coincidentally, Lin Yi came across it.

Of course, Lin Yi didn't know the cause and effect of this at this time, but he believed that a big figure like Boss Hai would never fool himself. So let's take one step at a time, and in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that they are really in the same league as Hai Baichuan, at least Mike Lee thinks so.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was not polite, and said: "Although I don't read much and don't practice calligraphy for a long time, I believe that I still have a little ability to distinguish the authentic handwriting of Master Wang Duo." ”

Confident, super confident.

However, Lin Yi's self-confidence is excessive arrogance in Mike Lee's eyes, and there is no measure of self-strength. A treasure that a senior appraiser like yourself may not be able to determine, but you a guy who popped out of nowhere said "a little research", I really don't know where your confidence comes from.

So in front of Lin Yi, Mike Lee smiled and said in a contemptuous tone: "Yes, since Mr. Hai intends to let your little friend show his hand, I won't stop it, but I want to see how superb your identification skills are...... However, before that, I have a little question here, and I want to ask this friend Lin first......"

Hai Baichuan saw that Mike Li was going to give Lin Yi a problem, and was about to say no, but Lin Yi smiled and said, "What's the matter, just say it." ”

"Oh, that's the case, someone just brought a few antiques yesterday for the company to help identify, I see that Mr. Hai is so important to Friend Lin, you must be very good at antique identification, why don't you do a favor, how about appraisal?"

Break through the game?

I like it.

Although Lin Yi admits that he is not too good at antique identification, he believes that with the "golden finger" of Hai Baichuan by his side, coupled with his sensitive nose, he will be able to pass the test smoothly.

But who knew that although Hai Baichuan ran an auction company and occasionally liked to go to the antique street to Taobao, the appraisal of antiques was amateurish, so Lin Yi counted on him to cheat on the side and make a cheat sheet, which was a miscalculation.

Mike Lee couldn't help but chuckle twice when he saw that his plan had succeeded.

Lin Yi had never heard anyone laugh like this, but he felt that the laughter was harsh and very ugly.

Mike Lee clapped his hands and applauded: "Mr. Hai, this friend Lin is really a master, just looking at this courage is quite admirable...... I don't think it's too early, so it's better to let Uncle Chang and them take out those treasures that need to be identified. ”

Hai Baichuan's face was very calm, he glanced at the arrogant Mike Lee, and then at the stunned Lin Yi, he didn't say anything, just picked up the internal phone and called, "Uncle Chang, take out the antiques that were prepared for appraisal yesterday, well, just put them on the third floor, let's go over." ”

After making the call, Hai Baichuan turned his head to Lin Yi and Mike Li and said, "Let's go, go to the third floor." ”

……

The third floor of the New Century Press Company is actually a well-guarded antique collection room.

Like many large auction companies, in addition to auctioning antique treasures, the auction house is also responsible for depositing a lot of collectibles ready for appraisal, in addition, the auction house itself also collects some precious antiques, jade, calligraphy and paintings, etc., waiting for the price to rise, and then auctioning out.

To put it bluntly, auction houses are similar to the stock market, they close their own positions by closing their own positions, but they are not dealing with those stock indexes, but real jewelry and antiques......

It can be said that the items in this collection room are all treasures after being appraised, and once they are auctioned, they can attract countless auction owners.

Because of this, it has one of the best security systems in Hong Kong, which is basically similar to a bank vault.

Heavy metal doors, combination locks, and 24-hour guards make it impossible for a fly to enter this collection room.

Lin Yi was lucky to be "accompanied" by Hai Baichuan and Mike Lee to enter this collection room.

When he entered, Lin Yi saw at a glance an old man in his fifties, dressed in Tang costume, waiting inside, not tall, slightly fat, and full of kindness, like a smaller Maitreya Buddha.

Seeing Hai Baichuan, the old man said respectfully: "Mr. Hai, everything you explained is ready." Then he glanced at Lin Yi intentionally or unintentionally, smiled slightly, and said hello.

Lin Yi has a good impression of the old man, at least people smile at you kindly, which means that they don't treat you as an outsider. Needless to say, this old man is the "Uncle Chang" in Hai Baichuan's mouth, and this Uncle Chang is also the "protagonist" that Hai Baichuan wants to replace Mike Lee's position.

Speaking of which, Uncle Chang is also an old subordinate of Hai Baichuan, he has been working here since the establishment of the new century, and he is very diligent and dedicated no matter what position he holds, and the most difficult thing is that he is loyal to Hai Baichuan. In terms of treasure appreciation ability, although it is a little worse than Mike Lee, the extra loyalty is enough to make up for this.

Mike Li saw that Uncle Chang was very cold, in his eyes, this old immortal was like a eunuch, he could only kneel and lick his master, he had no ability at all, and now he wanted to pull himself down and replace him, this old guy's heart was too bad.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Uncle Chang, Mike Lee's eyes were full of vicious resentment, but Uncle Chang turned a blind eye and greeted him with a smile instead.

"Alright, don't waste time, let's get started." Mike Lee said with some impatience.

Hai Baichuan said to Lin Yi: "I'm sorry for you, Lin Sheng, you can just take a look at these antiques and give some advice." ”

Mike Lee directly interrupted Hai Baichuan's words, "You don't need to identify them one by one, you can pick out a decent one from them." "The expression is very unhappy.

As for whether this unhappiness is aimed at Lin Yi in his mouth or the sea and rivers around him, it is unknown.

Hai Baichuan was robbed, and he couldn't be mad yet, and he was the boss to such a point, Lin Yi expressed his sympathy.

Looking at the booth in this room, there are five kinds of antiques at this time, namely the jade mandarin duck jade pendant, the gilded Bodhisattva bronze statue, the purple and blue carved teacup, the gossip tiger stripe incense burner, and an ordinary inkstone.

Just as Lin Yi was looking at these five antiques, Mike Lee said: "These five items were all sent by the same customer for identification, so you can choose the most valuable ones and let us have a long look." Obviously, the tone was urging Lin Yi to make a choice quickly.

Lin Yi didn't understand why he was in such a hurry, the boss was not in a hurry, what was the urgency of a part-time job.

So I slowly swung up to the antiques, picked up this one, put it down, and picked up the other one to take a look...... He looks very serious and seems to be full of confidence.

In fact, Lin Yi was waiting for the code in his heart, waiting for Hai Baichuan to give him a code, so when he picked up those antiques, Lin Yi glanced at Boss Hai with a very "ambiguous" look.

Don't do much, just a little nod, tickle, or even pick your nostrils, and I'll get it.

However, to Lin Yi's disappointment, Boss Hai didn't react at all!

Lin Yi wondered if he hadn't reminded him enough, so he picked up the antique again, and Hai coughed, Nima, this is obvious enough, even Mike Lee's goods have been seen. It's not good, it's a scaremonger......

Boss Hai, still indifferent.

Lin Yi was convinced, what does it mean that the emperor is not in a hurry to die a eunuch, it seems that I am here to help, but you are so calm, you can't rely on me if you lose.

Lin Yi thinks that he has a little research on the identification of calligraphy and painting, but when it comes to these jadeite jade, gold and copper ceramics, it is really ...... A smear of black.

However, Lin Yi has also been a "genius" for so many days, and he can't show cowardice on his face, so he made up his mind that it is better to ask for others than for himself, Boss Hai is reliable, and the sow will go to the tree. Let's see for ourselves how to solve this problem.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi restrained his mind and no longer perfunctory, but picked up those antiques and looked at them seriously.

Next to him, Hai Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, it wasn't that he didn't see Lin Yi's ambiguous eyes mixed with distress just now, but he was really powerless.

The bald head next to him, Mike Lee, stared at himself and made small movements, how could he take the initiative to take the bait? What's more, Hai Baichuan is also selfish, wanting to see if Lin Yi has real skills.

That's right, Lin Yi of Antique Street picked up the leak with his good eyesight, but after all, there is luck, since Hai Baichuan wants to use Lin Yi to make Mike Li ugly, then he must be sure that Lin Yi has the strength to truly appreciate treasures.

Where does the strength come from?

Only through verification can we be sure.

In this way, Boss Hai Baichuan Hai can be regarded as a far-sighted "pragmatist", but he suffered Lin Yi and saw things too simply, so that he looked confused. It's hard to figure it out, and you can only rely on yourself.

When Mike Lee saw Lin Yi "pretending" to appreciate the treasure, he had already laughed in his heart, and said in his heart, stupid---fellow (stupid guy)!

As for the kind-looking Uncle Chang, he looked at Lin Yi with a expressionless face, and seemed to be indifferent to what happened next, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes swept over the antiques that Lin Yi was playing with from time to time, and he seemed to be trying to identify the most valuable one......

In short, the three people next to Lin Yi have their own thoughts, but Lin Yi, as the protagonist, seems to have forgotten everything around him and began to use all his strength to identify the five headache-inducing collections in front of him---

As a collector of used books, can he miraculously crack this antique collection that covers jadeite jade, gold and stone ceramics?

Everyone, wait and see! (To be continued.) )
