Chapter 4: Bloodshed

Dong Tianyue really didn't know much about the internal structure of the auction house, and said modestly: "Please introduce it to Senior Brother." ”

"Well, the internal structure of each auction house is not exactly the same, but it is generally the same. Our Yide Auction House is relatively large-scale, and it is a large auction house with porcelain auction qualifications. We have a board of directors, which I oversee; There is also the Surveillance Council, which can oversee my administration; There are two general managers, and the general manager is equipped with two assistants.

The two managers are in charge of a total of 13 department managers. For example, the manager of the finance department, the manager of the marketing department, the manager of the human resources department, the manager of the calligraphy and painting department, the manager of the porcelain department, the manager of the miscellaneous department, the manager of the auction department and so on.

The next level of the department is the office, such as the office of the security department, the office of the equipment maintenance department, the office of the technical support department, the office of the purchase price review office, the office of the warehouse department, the office department of the publication printing department, etc.

I don't know which department the junior brother is more interested in? ”

Dong Tianyue didn't say it in a hurry, but took a sip of tea, and then smiled at Gao Yide: "Senior brother, is there an engraving department in the auction house?" ”

"That's no, the carving department should be a department only owned by a stone carving company. Why, is the little junior brother obsessed with seal carving, or is he obsessed with high relief? Gao Yide asked.

"Grandpa has three major skills, carving, calligraphy and painting, porcelain, and carving ranks first. At the age of six, I began to systematically learn the art of identification with my grandfather. At the age of eight, he began to learn carving, at the age of ten he learned Chinese painting, at the age of thirteen, he began to familiarize himself with the secret recipes of firing porcelain from the official kilns of the past dynasties, and at the age of twenty, he began to copy the calligraphy and paintings of famous masters of various generations. In the past 18 years, the more I learned, the more I felt how great and profound my grandfather was!

Our Dong family has been able to survive because of the inheritance of high-imitation stunts from generation to generation. Our family does not have a large listed company, and in the eyes of those famous families, it is at most a down-and-out hermit family that cannot see the light. In their noble bones, they look down on our Dong family. They feel that the ancestors of our Dong family started by counterfeiting and selling fakes, which is very despicable and cannot be put on the stage, and even scolded us for being unsightly rats! That's right, once the true identity of our Dong family is announced to the world, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble!

As a result, our Dong family has been passed down from generation to generation, like a thief.

Although, since my great-grandfather, the Dong family has promised the big names in the antique industry that they will no longer let the Dong family's high-imitation antiques enter the market, and all high-quality high-imitation works will be numbered and put into storage. Moreover, several high-imitation works of the Republic of China period that are not allowed to flow into the industry are also engraved with the words 'Dong's ghost hand imitated in a certain year'.

In this way, the high imitation is purely for inheritance. Without the drive of interests, it is really hard to say whether it can be passed on forever.

It's not that I'm exaggerating, the high-imitation works made by our top masters of the Dong family may not be able to identify them by those experts in my country at present. If we want to identify the true and false, the real authority has always been in our Dong family. Therefore, our Dong family must pass on the skills of our ancestors.

However, it is difficult to think about the family, and our Dong family has also had scum, and there have also been people who have made black money by falsifying with a conscience, he is my eldest uncle Dong Ruoyun, presumably senior brother, you also know him. ”

Dong Tianyue said a lot in one breath, Gao Yide was listening carefully, and when Dong Ruoyun's matter was mentioned, the old man nodded and interjected: "Of course I know, who in the industry didn't know the name of 'Ghost Hand Dong Ruoyun' back then?" To tell the truth, your uncle is an absolute genius, his high imitation skills are better than the blue, and when he was in his thirties, he faintly had a tendency to surpass the master, but he was used by gangsters, and he was obsessed with ghosts, and finally embarked on the road of no return, and at the same time, his father Dong Ruofeng was killed together! This is the 'Fengyun bloody case' that shocked the antique industry back then, and this bloody case that happened in the United States is still a mystery in the antique world!

It is also because of this incident that some big families in China have noticed your Dong family. I think that when the master insisted on not disclosing the fact that I was the only outer disciple of his sect, I was afraid that I would follow in the footsteps of your father and your eldest uncle. ”

Hearing Gao Yide talk about the "Fengyun Bloody Case" and the death of his father and uncle, Dong Tianyue looked a little sad, but quickly gritted his teeth and said: "It's not right for the uncle to fake and disrupt the market, but it's not the turn of outsiders to kill him. What's more, my father was also killed by innocent people, and I will have to find out this blood debt with them sooner or later! ”

Seeing that Dong Tianyue's expression was a little excited, Old Man Gao persuaded: "Little junior brother, don't be sad, don't be impulsive, things have passed for so many years." I heard from the master that he also personally went to California, Las Vegas and other places in the United States to investigate the case for this matter, but the conclusion was that the Dong family may have offended the big people who couldn't afford to offend! The Las Vegas gambling god king once persuaded the master that if the master continued to investigate, not only would his life not be saved, but even the entire Dong family would probably be threatened! ”

"Yes, my grandfather told me, and he also told the family that no one is allowed to investigate the case again, but I just don't want to! There is no greater hatred in the world than the hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife! Dong Tianyue's eyes were red and said: "In order to continue the incense of the Dong family, in order to inherit the Dong family's high-imitation skills, grandpa chose to swallow his anger and bear the pain silently." But, one day, I'll settle accounts with them! ”

When Dong Tianyue said this, the anger in his heart burned brightly, and Gao Yide was startled and said, "Little junior brother, don't mess around!" Not to mention the few big collecting families in the United States, even the few families in China that collude with them are not what you Dong can deal with at present, let alone you now! ”

Dong Tianyue nodded and said, "Yes, I am measured, and I will not be impulsive for the time being." Eighteen years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge! ”

Since the death of Dong Tianyue's eldest uncle and father, his grandmother and mother were overly sad and passed away one after another within a few years. When Dong Tianyue was a teenager, the Dong family encountered an unprecedented predicament.

And the future fate of the Dong family, all hope falls on the shoulders of Dong Tianyue and his cousin Dong Tianqi.

"That's good, revenge is very important, but it is even more important to pass on the skills of the ancestors. The little junior brother is so young, and he has so much pressure on his shoulders, it's really hard for you! Okay, let's not talk about those sad pasts, let's talk about the engraving department you talked about.

Little junior brother means that you want me to help you build a carving department alone? ”

Gao Yide has never told these secrets to outsiders, and he doesn't dare to tell them. Today, Dong Tianyue mentioned the past of the year, which reminded the old man of the hardships of the antique world. All over the world, north and south of the river, at home and abroad, there are really many places where Mr. Gao has gone to Taobao.

In Gao Yide's purchase of antiques, he was accidentally set up to drop the bag, lost all the capital, and in the most declining period, he picked up a carving knife and made a living by carving.

Gao Yide's carving skills were passed on by Dong Qingshan, and later he also consulted Mr. Qigong, a seal carving master, and was a master of carving in his own family. And in addition to owning an auction company, he also opened a jewelry store and an engraving shop. The old man was thinking, if Dong Tianyue really likes carving, then ask him to work in his own carving shop, and it is not a big deal to give that small shop to Dong Tianyue.

"Oh, not really. No, I'm just asking. Then the calligraphy and painting department, compared with porcelain, I am more good at the identification of calligraphy and painting. Dong Tianyue said.

"Hehe, don't hide it from my junior brother, I also have a jewelry store and a carving shop in the city, all of which are also called 'Yide'. If you really like carving, I'll give you that Yide carving shop! Gao Yide said sincerely.

"No, what's the matter? Grandpa knows, won't you kill me? I appreciate my brother's kindness, so I don't need to send it, and if I lack any good stones, I will go to the store to borrow some. Dong Tianyue said.

"That's not a trivial matter. Well, then the little junior brother decided to work in the calligraphy and painting department? The old man asked, that tone sounded, it seemed that the calligraphy and painting department was a little complicated?

"Well, it's just the calligraphy and painting department, isn't it?" Dong Tianyue said.

"Okay, why not? is Gui Yumeng, the manager of the calligraphy and painting department, the girl has a temper and is not easy to get along with. There is another person who is not easy to get along with, that is, Kong Zehui, the grandson of Old Man Kong, is also a young master, you should also pay attention to it. Old man Gao advised, afraid that Dong Tianyue would offend the powerful characters when he first came to the calligraphy and painting department.

"Oh, it's fine. I go to my class and don't have any conflict with them, what's the matter? By the way, when will I be able to go to work? Dong Tianyue asked.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll say hello to them in the afternoon." The old man said.

"If it's okay, I'll go first." Dong Tianyue said.

"Hmm." The old man got up to send him off, and gave Dong Tianyue a meeting gift and a Qing Dynasty agarwood gilt wrench. Dong Tianyue accepted the wrench, but he didn't want the old man to send it, the old man stood at the floor-to-ceiling glass window, looked at the back of Dong Tianyue leaving downstairs, and muttered: "The emperor's relatives have all gone to the calligraphy and painting department, I hope there will be no discord." ”;
