In the evening, under a big tree on the campus of Wenzhou University, Dong Tianyue talked to the old man on the phone, and he told the old man about meeting Gao Yide, and the old man laughed. Dong Tianyue didn't know why, the old man paused, and said, "This person has a lot of connections with my Dong family. ”

Dong Tianyue was a little confused. The old man smiled: "My Dong family's skills have always been passed on to the inside and not to the outside, men to not women, and it is rare to pass on the skills to outsiders, but there are exceptions to everything." About 20 years ago, there was a person who saved my life, and he was Yide! In order to thank Yide for saving his life, I have successively passed on some of his antique appraisal skills. Although I have reservations, it is enough for him to last a lifetime. So, in a sense, Yide is your senior brother. ”

Dong Tianyue was a little surprised, he didn't expect that his grandfather had accepted outsiders as apprentices, and this person had now grown into the chairman of an auction company? As for him, he began to learn skills from his grandfather at the age of 6, and he has not yet entered the first-class realm after studying for 18 years. But then again, isn't it a beautiful thing to have such a senior brother who is the chairman?

"Yue'er, seeing each other is fate. Originally, I planned to wait for you to graduate, and then introduce you to Yide, and let him introduce you to the auction house for a period of time, but I didn't expect you to be so fateful, and you met so soon, the world is really small! Old Man Dong sighed.

At the beginning, Gao Yide was really worth the year of not being confused, and Dong Qingshan had just passed the year of knowing his fate. By chance, Gao Yide saved the life of Mr. Dong, and the two became acquainted from then on. In the later exchanges, Mr. Dong found that Gao Yide also liked to collect, so he taught him a few tricks from time to time. Gao Yide realized that the inconspicuous old man he accidentally saved turned out to be a hidden antique appraisal master, so he wanted to learn from him. After some investigation, Mr. Dong accepted Gao Yide as his only outer disciple, and at the same time instructed Gao Yide not to tell outsiders about his teacher!

Although Gao Yide entered the antique circle relatively late, he has a good talent and is willing to specialize, and he has become famous in the antique world in less than ten years. After the age of fifty-five, as long as he gets his hands on antiques, he only knows the authenticity of things, so he is called "Gao Yiyi"!

"Grandpa, are you in favor of me entering the Yide Auction House to work?" Dong Tianyue asked.

The old man hesitated for a moment on the phone, and said: "You can take care of this matter, I will talk to Yide on the phone later, how to decide, you listen to it!" ”

Then, the old man hung up the phone.

At night, Dong Tianyue was still thinking about Gao Yide, thinking that it was no wonder that Old Man Gao also liked to walk birds and play walnuts, probably under the influence of his grandfather, right?

At about ten o'clock, Dong Tianyue's mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was an unfamiliar number.

"Who?" Dong Tianyue put down the half-engraved light freeze seal in his hand and answered the mobile phone. Next week is the birth of their class's class Hua Jing'er, this light freeze seal is as beautiful as Jing'er, it is a gift that Dong Tianyue specially prepared for Jing'er, I don't know if she will accept it? Growing so big, it was the first time Dong Tianyue had met the goddess who made him feel nightmares. Therefore, he wants to carve the most beautiful seal and give it to Jing'er to show his heart.

"Is it a junior brother?" The voice of a slightly agitated old man came from the other side. I look like I'm in my sixties.

"You are? Could it be that you are ......" Dong Tianyue had a name in his mind. Before Dong Tianyue finished speaking, Old Man Gao said: "I am Gao Yide, the old man who walked the birds in the morning!" ”

"It's really you, old man! Grandpa has already told me, thank you for saving my grandfather's life! Dong Tianyue said solemnly.

"To be able to save my master's life, that is a blessing from God! Besides, the master treats me like a mountain, and I have not been able to repay his old man, so I should be the one who should say thank you! ”。

Indeed, if it weren't for Mr. Dong to teach Gao Yide appraisal skills, his collecting career would not be so exciting, let alone today's achievements.

"I shouldn't have disturbed your rest so late, but after talking to the master on the phone, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, and if I didn't make this call, I would probably be sleepless all night. I was curious this morning, why did I have an inexplicable sense of intimacy when I first saw you, it turns out that you are my little junior brother! ”

"Don't bother, I haven't slept yet. I also have a good impression of the old man! Old man, you must have something else to do with me, right? Dong Tianyue asked straight to the point.

"Little junior brother, don't call me old man, you will see the outside world if you shout like this, please call me senior brother! Although the master has never let me tell outsiders that I am his disciple, I have always regarded the master as my dearest mentor in my heart! Without the cultivation of my teacher, I would not be where I am today! Old Man Gao was a little excited when he said this, and his voice was a little trilling.

In the past, when some big names in the collecting industry praised their high art appraisal skills, he always wanted to say in his heart: "My ability is far worse than my master!" ”。 Gao Yide has always wanted to tell the world that he has a master who is outside the world, and all his skills are taught by the master, but he doesn't dare. The master is not allowed! Therefore, after hearing that Dong Tianyue was the grandson of the master, Gao Yide was extremely happy, and he wanted to answer the master's kindness to Dong Tianyue.

"Little junior brother, regarding your entry into the Yide Auction House, my master and I have already passed the anger. Originally, I planned to hire you as the deputy manager of the evaluation department, and I will be regularized in a few months. But the master disagreed, saying that it was not allowed to let you go through the back door, which would break the rules of the industry, and said that it was not good for you to be too smooth, and you had to start from the bottom and grow up step by step. I don't know what you think, junior brother? Old Man Gao asked cautiously. As himself, let alone being a deputy department manager for Dong Tianyue, it is to ask him to abdicate and give up the position of chairman to Dong Tianyue, and Gao Yide is also willing. However, the master did not allow him to spoil Dong Tianyue.

However, the young man is arrogant, in case Dong Tianyue insists on being a manager, he is majestic, and Gao Yide is not easy to refuse, but he can't help but listen to the master's words, if that is the case, he will be in a dilemma.

"Haha, then I'll shout at you, brother. Senior brother, if you don't have a small soldier, you can be a general, and it is estimated that you can't be a general; If you haven't been a teacher, you can be a principal, and you probably can't be a principal. Besides, I'm still studying, so I don't have time to devote myself to the business of the auction house, so I really don't dare to be a manager. With my qualifications and water appraisal, it would be nice to be a low-level appraiser. Dong Tianyue said with a smile.

Gao Yide was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief, he didn't expect Dong Tianyue to be so reasonable, and he didn't have the stinky frame of some children of the family at all. It seems that the master has taught well!

"If you can understand the good intentions of the old man, then it is the best! Little junior brother, you are too humble, with your hand in appraising my birdcage and walnut dew in the morning, being the lowest appraiser is a little wronged by you. In this way, what kind of work do you do, which department to go to, how to arrange working hours, you come to our company tomorrow, and we will talk in detail face to face. Old Man Gao said.

"yes, okay." Dong Tianyue said.

The next day was Zhou Yue, and Dong Tianyue came to the Yide Auction House as promised.

The building of Yide Auction House is eleven stories high, and the chairman's office is on the tenth floor. It's just that what is more depressing is that Dong Tianyue was blocked by two security guards outside the gate on the first floor.

The two security guards saw that Dong Tianyue was dressed as a student and couldn't come up with any powerful identity plates, so they stopped him and said, "The auction house is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter!" ”

"Hehe, the two eldest brothers are accommodating, I'll go in and find someone." Dong Tianyue said with a smile.

"Looking for someone? Who to look for? A tall security guard asked.

"Looking for Gao Yide." Dong Tianyue said lightly.

"Gao Yide? Does this name sound familiar? The tall security guard muttered to himself, and then looked at the other thin security guard.

Another thin security guard scratched his hair a few times in a daze, and then suddenly realized, and said excitedly: "Oh, it seems that Chairman Gao is called Gao Yide!" ”

"Yes! No wonder the name sounds so familiar? "The tall security guard said. Immediately glanced at Dong Tianyue again, the owner of the stall all over the place, dare to say that he is looking for our chairman? What is the identity of the chairman, what kind of cat and dog can be seen if they want to see? Disdainfully: "Boy, the name of our chairman is also called by you?" Don't be scared if it's okay, stay where it's cool! ”

"I'm just looking for your chairman, if you don't believe it, you can call and ask." Dong Tianyue was also a little angry. Although you don't want to be like the layman, the layman doesn't have to affect your mood.

"Damn, who are you kid, if you want me to ask, I'll ask, then how faceless am I?" The tall security guard scolded that he belonged to the kind of security guard with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. Another thin security guard looked at Dong Tianyue carefully, and saw that although he was not dressed well, his whole body was full of extraordinary temperament, so he said, "Wait a minute." ”

"Hey, please pick up the chairman's office......" The thin security guard took out a pager to contact it.

Soon, the other party answered the phone, and then only heard the security guard nodding his head and saying, "Yes, yes, definitely, definitely!" This made the tall security guard dumbfounded. Could it be that he has lost his eyes, this kid has a lot of background?

The thin security guard who was on the phone walked up to his companion and whispered nervously, which stunned his companion.

After a while, an old man with gray hair personally went downstairs to greet Dong Tianyue with a smile. He first nodded to Dong Tianyue, and then said lightly to the female secretary beside him with a gloomy face: "Secretary Chu, these two security guards have been fired, notify the Finance Department to settle the bill for them immediately!" ”

The two security guards were scared to pee, and the slightly clever thin man reflected that they were cheap-mouthed and offended the big man whom the chairman valued very much!

"Don't, don't mind, chairman, we were wrong, please don't drive us away!" The thin man pleaded.

"Yes, chairman, we thought this kid was not a good person, and we wanted to beat the bad idea of antiques in our business, so we stopped him." The tall man said with a bitter face of remorse.

"Hmph, this Mr. Dong is my most precious guest, how dare you snub it? I don't have any eyesight, how can I mix in the auction house, and what are you left to do? Gao Yide said majestically: "Secretary Chu, didn't you understand what I said?" ”

Gao Yide was indeed a little angry, and said in his heart: Do you know that he is my little junior brother? How dare you let him eat behind closed doors? Don't you see that the little junior brother has a refined temperament and is different? I don't have any eyesight, it's time to change!

"Oh, yes, right away!" Secretary Chu was in a trance, it was the first time she saw the chairman of the board of directors fire an employee for a trivial matter. It seems that this kid in front of him is not small, huh?

Just as Secretary Chu was about to take out his mobile phone to make a call, Dong Tianyue stretched out his hand to stop him: "No need, when you look at antiques, you will also have eyes when you look at people, hehe." As a security guard, it is right to strictly check every guest who visits the auction house, and please be merciful to the chairman's subordinates! ”

The two security guards saw that Dong Tianyue was generous in repaying his grievances with virtue, and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you!" It's because we look down on people, because we don't know Mount Tai because we have eyes, and we won't dare to do it again! ”

"Hmph, thank you Mr. Dong soon, if he hadn't interceded, you would have rolled up and gotten out immediately!" Old Man Gao shouted.

"Yes, yes!" Two security guards were terrified.

"Hehe, Mr. Dong, you have been wronged. Let's go to my office for tea. Old man Gao walked over and made a gesture of please, and said kindly.

Secretary Chu was very surprised, what is the origin of this Mr. Dong, and he is worried that the chairman will meet him personally? She has been in the company for two years, that is, last year, Mr. Ma Xiandu, a great collector in northern China, came here, and the chairman personally met with her.

The elevator went up to the tenth floor and into the chairman's office. As soon as Dong Tianyue entered the door, he smelled the tea fragrance of kung fu tea. Old Man Gao instructed Secretary Chu: "Close the door, no one is allowed to come in and disturb!" ”

"Yes, Chairman!" Secretary Chu bowed back, and glanced at Dong Tianyue with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to engrave Dong Tianyue's appearance into his mind.

"Come, junior brother!"

Seeing Secretary Chu close the door and leave, Gao Yide cordially changed his words and called Dong Tianyue "little junior brother".

Gao Yide led Dong Tianyue in the direction of the east wall. In the center of the east wall, there is a three-piece set of red sandalwood coffee tables.

The two-tiered small coffee table has a dark purple appearance, and it seems to have cow hair patterns, and the surface is shiny. There is a red sandalwood chair on the left and right of the coffee table. There is a set of kung fu tea tea sets on the coffee table, and the tea in the teapot is steaming hot and fragrant.

Old Man Gao sat on the Taishi chair on the left, invited Dong Tianyue to sit opposite and said, "Little junior brother, how about this three-piece red sandalwood coffee table set?" Please palm. ”

"Don't dare. Well, that's good. Dong Tianyue glanced at the coffee table and the Taishi chair and said, "This rosewood chair has fine workmanship and clear patterns. The pattern on the backrest has a magpie and a plum and a longevity pattern, representing good luck. The upper part of the chair leg is carved horizontally with the 'Dark Eight Immortals', that is, the weapons of the 'Eight Immortals'. The upper part of the chair is also tightly wrapped by four 'animal claws'. Judging from the pulp, modeling and carving, it should be the old red sandalwood in the Ming Qi period, and it seems to be from the hand of the carpenter emperor? ”

Old Man Gao's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up and said: "Good eyesight, it is indeed the work of the carpenter emperor Ming Xizong, if it weren't for his work, I wouldn't be so precious." It seems that the little junior brother has received the true inheritance of the master! This three-piece set of red sandalwood of Ming Xizong is the treasure of my office, and I am reluctant to sit for him by ordinary people. ”

There was a very interesting emperor in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Ming Xizong. He didn't want to be an emperor, he had to be a carpenter, and he did a great job! He was not a proper worker, dealing with axes, saws, planers, and carving knives all day long, and was obsessed with his carpenter's business. Ming Xizong also often sent the inner eunuch to take the finished furniture and carved wood toys to the market to sell, and the people in the city bought them at a heavy price, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was even happier, often not resting until the second half of the night, and often asked the eunuchs around him to be his assistants.

Dong Tianyue recognized at a glance that this was Ming Xizong's furniture work, and Old Man Gao was very pleased, which could be regarded as a side assessment of Dong Tianyue. The old man was thinking, with this eyesight, no one dared to make irresponsible remarks even if I recommended the junior brother to be a department manager.

"Hehe, carving insect skills, not enough teeth. I didn't even learn half of my grandfather's skills, so I'm ashamed. Dong Tianyue said humbly.

"Yes, the master's antique kung fu is too deep, it's unfathomable! Although the high imitation skills are the descendants of your Dong family, the teacher still insisted on passing on some to me, which also gave me a deeper understanding of the high imitation calligraphy and painting and carving works. The old man said as he poured tea for Dong Tianyue and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, this is the round tea of Fuyuanchang in the Guangxu period, known as the king of Pu'er tea, you can taste it." ”

Fu Yuanchang round tea has a strong tea atmosphere, which fully shows the special surname of Yiwu Zhengshan Pu'er tea. The blue and purple inner flyers are the more masculine teas. That majestic and majestic momentum fully represents the majestic male surname beauty of Pu'er tea, and he is the "King of Pu'er Tea" in the ranks of Pu'er tea today. A loaf of bread is more than thirty or forty thousand. The older the age, the more expensive it is.

"Haha, good tea! This is a national treasure Pu'er tea. I remember that grandpa also seemed to have two loaves of bread, could it be ......," Dong Tianyue asked.

"Hehe, I know that his old man has good tea. The Pu'er tea in the Guangxu period was not easy to buy, so I made a total of four cakes, two of which were filial to his old man. I still have half a cake left, and if the little brother likes it, he will take it back and drink it. Old Man Gao smiled.

"No need, senior brother, you better keep it for yourself. I'm not used to drinking kung fu tea, and I'm afraid of trouble. By the way, brother, let's talk about my work. Dong Tianyue said.

"Hehe, yes, let's get down to business first. By the way, do you know about the internal structure of the auction house? Do you already have a department in mind? The old man asked;
