Imperial View City

A high-paced city with many office buildings.

Gu Xi walked to the door, opened the door, and looked outside, there was no Su Xiaodong, the company's glass door was closed, and Su Xiaodong should be in his office.

She closed the door, walked to the window, and said, "So...... What do you mean is that you have forgotten all the things you worked hard before, and you have worked so hard that you have occupied other people's territory and been buried alive, have your opponents forgotten? ”

Cheng Qi laughed, "Of course not, I remember the establishment of the fund later, when the time and place were favorable." I did that, but before, the impression was a little vague, and it wasn't that I didn't remember it completely, just like I remember how I discovered Fang Bichun, and I can't remember the details clearly. ”

Gu Xi said, "That's good." I'm still thinking that when these returned cultural relics are sold, I will slowly put away all the modern artworks you collected before. Whose work do we accept first? ”

Cheng Qi's laughter came, with a kind of pampered helplessness, like a child saying something stupid, and an adult can't bear to poke it.

Gu Xi said, "What? Am I wrong? ”

"It's not ......," Cheng Qi said in a low voice, "Xixi...... I miss you. ”

Gu Xi's heart was filled with sweetness, she cleared her throat and said, "Don't interrupt, just say it." ”

Cheng Qi said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the initiative of these is not on them, but on us, the operation of contemporary art is about the law, you accept the works, we have to find someone to cooperate here, and slowly increase their prices in stages in a few years." ”

Gu Xi looked down at the ring on her hand, she moved to the window pane, the sun shone on, and it glowed, Gu Xi said, "...... In fact, I now think that every line is the same, and these artists are also the same as stars in the entertainment industry, they have to have the opportunity to get good films, meet the right directors, and find a good team to package, and then master the resources are the ones who have the right to speak. ”

"Xixi......" Cheng Qi called her lightly, "You have said before, your former industry, success or failure depends on sales channels, whoever masters this resource, who will master success or failure." ”

"I know." Gu Xi said, "I just found that I didn't pay attention to this before." ”

Cheng Qi said, "Are you tired? ”

Gu Xi shook his head, thought about it again, he couldn't see it, she said, "I'm not tired, then I'll work hard to get through all the channels on your side, and those antique dealers you gave me didn't have anything to do with you later?" ”

"Why do you ask this?"

Gu Xi said, "...... I'm a little shrunken, I don't want people to recognize me, and in the future, I will know that your wife has resold cultural relics, how bad it is. ”

Cheng Qi laughed sullenly, and then corrected her, "Mrs. Cheng, don't dare to say that you resell cultural relics in the future, what you bring back is all things from the Republic of China, which are not worth much, let alone cultural relics." ”

Gu Xi picked at the glass with his hand, embarrassed by his Cantonese name "Mrs. Cheng", and whispered, "I made a mistake." Anyway, that's what I mean, I don't want people to recognize me. ”

Cheng Qi said, "You don't know how many domestic collectors there are, and they are growing, those are those who will not see us in the future, think about those who will deal with us in the future." "But when I say this, I don't encourage you to go yourself, but to tell you that if you really need it, it's not a problem at all." Let's say okay, you don't show up. ”

Gu Xi said, "I know what you mean, you are also worried about my safety, but only let Su Xiaodong come forward, I am afraid that he will not be enough to press the scene." ”

"Let's send things to the auction house first, and now that the millennium has passed, the state has announced that the ice age of the antique market has only been four years since the beginning of the market."

"Okay." Gu Xi responded.

Cheng Qi said, "Now the mobile phone can't access the Internet, I have prepared a mobile phone, you can send me a text message if you have something, and I will put it when I sleep." Don't worry, it's me when you can see it. ”

Gu Xi nodded, knowing that he was giving himself peace of mind, and said a few words to Cheng Qi.

She hung up the phone, but she had another plan in her heart, the rice that the emperor ate was several times more expensive than others, Cheng Qi used to live like in a glass cover, Gu Xi didn't think that he would be completely aware of the twists and turns below. She believes that as a partner, it is necessary to ensure that her family does not wrong.

What's more, her man is so obsessed with money, he was once "bought" by her for 20 yuan, how could she be willing to let him earn less money.

She picked up her coat and walked out to call Su Xiaodong.

The two left the company.

The next day,

Gu Xi took Su Xiaodong to the auction house, which was one of the rooms mentioned by Cheng Qi.

At this time, it seems to be very big and magnificent, but if you compare it with the future, you can't catch up with the back door of the Bichun Art Museum.

Standing on the steps, Gu Xi sighed a little, because there is no antique market in Pingcheng, and the largest antique transaction in the country is in Dijing City, so Gu Xi is still living here this time, 13 years in advance, and at this time, there is no care, no previous care.

Even the place where she once bought the house has not been built.

The company's current area is also different from before, and it is closer to the city. Not to mention Fang Bichun's art museum, there is no film yet.

"Let's let—" Someone behind spoke.

Gu Xi turned sideways and saw the man pushing the door in. It was a middle-aged man with something in his hand.

Su Xiaodong said, "Why is this person so rude, there are eight doors here, he can take two steps to the right, and he can go through another door." ”

Gu Xi said, "I see that he has cultural relics in his hand, will there be any particularities in this line that we don't know, such as entering the door must not turn a corner." Does this affect the auction price? ”

Su Xiaodong was stunned, "Is there still such a statement?" ”

Gu Xi laughed, "What about teasing you, entering a new industry, don't you think it's funny to think like this?" ”

Su Xiaodong thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems to be the same." Don't know what their process is, do you still want to evaluate our stuff? ”

The reception is large and bright, with a glass partition on the right, and inside is the reception area, with small round tables, a circle of white sofas, and a lot of them.

Gu Xi felt that this reception area was a bit lacking in privacy, like a better MLM company in later generations.

The lady at the reception was talking to the man, "Then you register first, go to the reception area and sit, and soon we will have an expert come over and give you something to appraise first." ”

The man asked, "Do you want an appraisal fee?" ”

"Of course." The young lady politely said, "A thousand dollars, these are necessary expenses." ”

Gu Xi walked over, and another reception lady stood up, "Hello." ”

"I made an appointment at ten o'clock in the morning. ”

The receptionist looked down for a moment and said, "Please go to the reception area and sit down, someone will receive you soon." ”

Gu Xi found a window seat and sat down, Su Xiaodong sat next to her, he looked left and right, approached Gu Xi and said, "I think this place is for ordinary guests to sit, if they see something good, they will arrange a better place." ”

Gu Xi nodded and replied in a low voice, "Watching people put dishes on the plate, every business is the same." ”

After a while, an expert came out to entertain the previous guests.

The guest dug into his bag, pulled out a tightly wrapped package, and opened it, layer by layer.

Because he was too cautious and careful, and the package was very proper, it attracted the attention of Gu Xi and Su Xiaodong.

Su Xiaodong was even more engrossed, compared to the layers on the other side, they put it in the box, it was too inappropriate, and it felt more like a handicraft than theirs.

Then the last layer was opened, and a jar with a lid was revealed.

Su Xiaodong said excitedly, "...... It turned out that the person who was fighting with us to enter the door was holding a cricket jar. ”

Gu Xi said, "...... That thing, shouldn't it be called a cricket jar? The cricket jars are all dwarf, and that one looks a little dexterous. ”

Su Xiaodong said, "Our flower and bird market, I can often see this kind of thing, really, you see that there are blue and white flowers on it, and we also have it in the market, all of which are made of cricket jars." ”

Gu Xi said, "The cricket jars all have the same lid as the bottom, and the lid on the top is much smaller. In fact, she thought it was a shrunken columbarium, but she felt that it must be wrong.

So she took out her mobile phone and silently sent a text message to Cheng Qi to describe the thing.

After a while, the text message came back and it said, "Sounds like a jar, what does it look like?" Maybe it's a lotus seed jar, a cover that covers the sky? ”

Gu Xi put down the phone and felt that this road was more difficult, and she didn't understand any of the terms in her boyfriend's words!

Su Xiaodong waited eagerly, "Did you ask your friend, what did the other party say?" ”

Gu Xi put the phone in his bag and replied calmly, "Yes, people say that Tibetan friends should be called in the antique circle, and the person opposite, you don't always call people like crickets, you should say that Tibetan friend." ”

Su Xiaodong: "......"

The expert over there has already begun to speak, "Do you need an identification?" It can only be auctioned after the appraisal. ”

The Tibetan friend said, "Is this thing real or fake?" ”

The expert said, "After you decide to appraise, I can arrange someone to help you identify, our company has a procedure, and the appraisal must be done by three experts." ”

"So ......," the Tibetan friend hesitated, "must it be a thousand?" ”

Su Xiaodong approached Gu Xi and said, "...... Now I have a lot of talents with a monthly salary of 500. "The implication is that a thousand is really a lot.

Gu Xi didn't speak.

Su Xiaodong thought that she didn't understand what she meant, so she approached Gu Xi and said, "Is there a way for you to ...... Why don't we pay that? ”

Gu Xi glanced at him, of course he didn't want to give this thousand, because this was obviously fooling people, if he was qualified to be auctioned, he had to call the handling fee, it would not be a duplicate charge.

Just listen to the "expert" and say, "In addition to that, there is also the commission of our auction house, which is 25 percent." ”

"And how much can I shoot this thing?" The Tibetan friend asked.

The "expert" said, "It's really hard to say, every guest is different." In some sessions, the guests who happen to come are good for you, and if you open the door again, you may be able to meet a good price. ”

The Tibetan friend asked expectantly, "What is the approximate price?" ”

The expert picked it up, looked at it, put it back and said, "Do you want to identify it?" If you want to authenticate, you can have at least one certificate of authentication. He stood up, "You see that I still have guests over there, if you think about it, just check with our reception and arrange it for you later." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was very surprised, it turned out that their treatment was so poor, could it be that the antique circle was like this to laymen? When she thought about it, she thought it must be.

The man introduced himself, "Hello, I'm the deputy head of the porcelain department. ”

Gu Xi said, "Hello. ”

People didn't stretch out their hands, so she pretended to forget that she should reach out.

Sitting down, she said, "Just one thing." ”

Su Xiaodong opened the box, and the supervisor took a look, didn't get started, didn't move, and said, "This thing is very ordinary." ”

Gu Xi didn't speak.

Su Xiaodong was very unhappy, how could he step on other people's things first when they met.

The supervisor glanced at Gu Xi, probably thinking that she was too confident, didn't speak, and couldn't look at it, so he said again, "It looks like a big open, if you want a specific appraisal opinion, you have to take a look at the experts." But it's just a ......."

Gu Xi knew that he was a layman, he couldn't say more, it would be wrong to say more, and Cheng Qi's words sounded in his ears again, "You can't say more, it's not worth much." ”

But she felt that this should not be the case.

There has to be a way in everything.

Since she is a businessman, even if she is in the antique circle, she does not have to use the rules of the antique circle.

So she said, "This thing is not good, but it is made of kaolin, and it is produced in Jingdezhen, which is definitely not inferior to the craftsmanship level of the official kiln." What's going on with this thing, you can probably know if you look at it twice. ”

Her tone was faint and lit up directly.

The deputy director was a little surprised, I was going to prepare you to come and go with me, the antique circle is not like this, negotiate prices, test each other's eyes, and those who understand more can suppress those who understand less.

Knowledge is most useful here, and whoever understands more is powerful.

But who knows, this girl didn't play cards according to the rules, and she actually saved "time" at once. and he no longer serves a shelf,

Pick it up and flip it over, and there is a fire paint mark underneath.

"Repatriated artifacts." He put it down and looked at Gu Xi, "Then this can be re-discussed." ”

Gu Xi said, "The full name should be, Qing Kangxi blue and white fisherman's house shallow belly bowl, caught in the water, like this...... I don't need you to give an expert opinion. ”

The man was slightly surprised, not knowing whether he thought she was making a bargain or surprised by her stinginess.

Do you care about a thousand dollars for antiques?!

saw Gu Xi stand up and said, "This really has to be made clear to you in advance, in fact, we are an errand runner." The owner is abroad, and there are quite a lot of such in hand, so they asked me to come back and see...... Whether to come to the auction house or contact a few familiar antique dealers, I thought, after all, if there are many of them, it is better to go to the auction house. ”

The Deputy Director: "...... A lot? ”

Gu Xi nodded, "Of course, we also consider that coming to the auction house should also accommodate your time, you prepare an auction, spring auction, autumn auction, it will take a long time." ”

The deputy director interrupted her, "The other party you said is also engaged in collecting." ”

"People call him ......" Gu Xi had an idea, "He is seven, everyone is called the seventh master, and ......" She suddenly approached the expert, "I am in business, I don't understand antiques, so I don't plan to get an axe, or you can help me make an appointment with the person in charge, we also have a company, let's talk about long-term cooperation." ”

As she spoke, Su Xiaodong handed over the business card with a look in her eyes.

The deputy director glanced at it and said to Gu Xi, "Why isn't it yours." ”

Gu Xi said, "I don't have a business card, I'll leave a phone call for you." ”

The deputy director stood up and said, "Let's go inside." ”

He took Gu Xi a few steps and saw that the "cricket jar" Tibetan friend was still there.

The Tibetan friend looked at them with a puzzled expression.

The deputy director said, "You haven't thought about it yet?" ”

Gu Xi looked at him and found that he was wearing a pair of pants that were a little fat and very old, and the leather shoes on his feet were also dirty, only the baby in his arms, which was held very tightly.

She was a little unbearable, seeing that the deputy supervisor had passed, she passed by the person and whispered, "I'm not in the collection business, but I think that if the thing is real, they can share the commission when it is auctioned, why don't they sue you?" ”

With that, she walked away quickly.

Su Xiaodong followed and whispered, "Gu Xi, do you mean that thing is fake?" ”

Gu Xi said in a low voice, "Nonsense, have you ever seen anyone who has money and doesn't make money." ”

The Tibetan friend in the back, holding his things, looked dazed.
