Chapter 29 The jury is inconclusive

As soon as they saw the middle-aged appraiser's face change, everyone knew that what Zhao Zhuo said was true, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and Zhu Qing was even more gloomy.

Of course, the experts did not find these three flaws, firstly, they were already preconceived, after all, they were identified by Zhu Qing, and they already had a sense of identity psychologically, and secondly, because pottery is not as good as porcelain, it does feel much more fragile, and the surface has glaze peeling off, although everyone wears gloves, but they are also careful to pick it up.

And the two aspects of the opening film and the carcass are easy to be ignored, and as for the third flaw, there is no way to test.

Zhu Qing's face was blue and white, and he didn't know what to say for a while, he was an old ghost, he went to take a look today, this matter is going to spread out, what face is there on his face?

And the most satisfied among everyone is undoubtedly Ji Yuan, looking at Zhao Zhuo, his face is also full of appreciation, and he can put forward negative opinions even when many experts are affirmative, and there are few people among young people who have this courage, let alone that self-confidence.

Ji Yuan set his eyes on Zhu Qing at this time, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhu, when everyone has an eye, you Lao Zhu is not the only one in the hands of this group, not long ago, Director Zhang of Quanshi City was also fooled. ”

"What, Lao Zhang was also fooled, wait, this guy?" Zhu Qing was taken aback, and everyone hurriedly looked over.

Ji Yuan bowed slightly: "Yes, this group of people specializes in high imitation, especially good at pottery, whether it is the tire, glaze, or type of all aspects are very good, and then make them old, and the time of their sale is also related to current affairs news, where the tomb of a certain dynasty is stolen, these goods will follow, and the deception is the old connoisseur." ”

Zhao Zhuo suddenly realized, no wonder Ji Yuan didn't take a few glances and was sure that it was a fake, it turned out that he had known the news earlier, or had seen the relevant high imitation a long time ago, so he had already understood the characteristics of its fraud.

Zhu Qingyi gritted his teeth and said: "So that's the case, sooner or later I will find out this group of people!" ”

Ji Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't get involved in this matter, let the police deal with it." ”

Speaking of this, he beckoned to Zhao Zhuo and Ji Xiaofan: "You guys don't go to the ghost market, right?" If we don't go, we'll go back together. ”

When he got into the car, Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but praise: "Brother Zhao, your eyesight is really amazing, so many elders have lost their eyes, but you can distinguish it." ”

Zhao Zhuo shook his head modestly, this praise is really unbearable, he is more good at it now, that is, coins, jade, porcelain and calligraphy and painting, he has not seen much pottery, if there is no Mo Ling, it will only be eye-catching.

Ji Yuan laughed and said: "So what do I say, Xiao Fan, you have to learn from Brother Zhao this kind of courage that is not afraid of authority, no matter what others say, no matter what other people's conclusions are, you must firmly believe what you see." ”

Ji Xiaofan nodded seriously, and Ji Yuan suddenly laughed: "I see, next year, you will also go to the treasure appreciation conference of the Zhongtian Club to exercise, that occasion is the real battlefield, compared to there, this ghost city is really a pediatric." ”

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help laughing, it is true, whether it is a huge amount of bets or a variety of rules at the treasure appraisal conference, people can feel a lot of pressure, and it is true that he was really reborn at that conference.

Ji Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Tomorrow is the start of the auction at Lanjing Auction House, Xiao Zhuo, are you going?" I see that you and Xiao Yao seem to know each other very well. ”

"Hehe, just friends." Zhao Zhuo said with a smile.

"Oh, so our little sail has a chance?" Ji Yuan said with interest, "Xiao Yao is really good, she looks beautiful, and the whole Baicheng can't find a second one with such a look, and in terms of talent, he is a first-level appraiser at a young age, which can't be found with a lantern." ”

Ji Xiaofan said bitterly: "Grandpa, just spare me, how can Miss Jing look down on me?" If you want me to say, Miss Jing has long been interested in Brother Zhao. ”

Zhao Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little unconvinced, Ji Xiaofan was afraid of provoking the fire, so he hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, Miss Jing looks at Brother Zhao differently, and to others, it is cold, and to Brother Zhao, how to say it, it is a little affectionate." ”

Ji Yuan smiled dumbly, patted Zhao Zhuo's shoulder vigorously and said, "Good boy, left and right, quite the style of the old man, Xiaofan, you must learn more from your brother Zhao!" ”

Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but become a bitter gourd face, but Zhao Zhuo scratched his head, saying that the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are fascinated, could it be that Jing Yao really likes herself?

Compared with when I first met Jing Yao before, now that I have been in contact with her for a long time, it is not so unattainable, but I still have a feeling of closeness when I think about it.

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but smile, if he likes a woman like Jing Yao, I'm afraid it's a blessing that all men in the world will be jealous of.

Ji Yuan asked at this time: "Xiao Zhuo, have you made up your mind about that "Court Trick Map"? ”

Zhao Zhuo shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

"What about Xiao Yao?" Ji Yuan asked again, "I heard that you also went to the appraiser branch in Baicheng?" That's what this painting is for, right? ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded, and Ji Yuan frowned slightly and said, "I've also seen this one, but I didn't dare to make a conclusion." Tang Yin's calligraphy and painting, whether it is calligraphy or painting style, are divided into three stages, each stage is very different, and each stage has a ghostwriter, and there are many famous teachers among them, so it is even more difficult to identify. Otherwise, I would have proposed a directional auction to the Cultural Relics Bureau, but in this case, the painting is estimated to not be much for auction. ”

Zhao Zhuoming nodded, the so-called directional auction refers to the cultural relics department negotiates with the auction house to implement directional bidding for certain works, and only allows each museum to bid for the auction, so the price is generally not very high, if it is an auction for the public, it can auction 30 million things, and the auction of the directional auction may get 20 million or even lower.

However, auction houses generally do not refute the face of the cultural relics department, although the money does not make much, but this face is naturally worth it.

Of course, after the auction, only half of this commission will be paid.

Generally speaking, the auction house auction commission is two-ended, one is the buyer and the other is the seller, but if the buyer is a state department, then this commission cannot be charged.

At this time, Ji Xiaofan suddenly said: "Grandpa, I heard that it seems that someone still wants to buy this painting from the sidelines." ”

Ji Yuan said with a smile: "I also received news about this matter, but the price offered by the other party was only 20 million, so Lan Jing didn't agree." According to my estimate, the other party may have heard that this painting might be a fake, and didn't dare to ask for a high price. ”

"Big brother, what do you mean by an off-market acquisition?" Mo Ling couldn't help but be curious.

Zhao Zhuo explained to her that some buyers with deep pockets will propose to buy an off-market treasure for various reasons once they see a certain expensive treasure at the preview.

Off-site acquisitions are mostly very cost-effective for auction houses, taking the price of 20 million to calculate, first of all, the buyer bought the "Palace Trick Map" by way of off-site acquisition, and Lanjing Auction House first took 20% of the commission, that is, 4 million profits.

Then, the buyer becomes a seller, and then auctions the "Palace Trick Map" on the Blue View Auction House, and auctions it up at a price of more than 20 million, if it is done properly, it is possible to auction an additional 10 million, and the Blue View Auction House can get a commission of 10%, which is a profit of more than 3 million.

Therefore, if you simply auction this painting, you will not be able to make such a big profit.

However, because the auction house is not a seller, but a commercial intermediary that can only earn commissions, everything has to be up to the seller.

And at the price of 20 million, if Zhang Yaoguang can't look down on it, the off-market acquisition will naturally fail.

While chatting while driving, they arrived at Ji's house, Zhao Zhuo was also a little tired from looking for porcelain, thinking that he would go to the auction house the next day, and fell asleep when he arrived at the guest room.

The next morning, Zhao Zhuo, Ji Yuan, and Ji Xiaofan went to the Blue View Auction House together, because they had to wait for Jing Yao and Sister Wang, so Ji Yuan and the others entered the auction house, and Zhao Zhuo waited at the door.

Although the time is only nine o'clock, but there are already a lot of cars parked outside the auction house, the publicity of the Blue View Auction House is obviously very successful, especially Zhang Yaoguang's collection is from abroad auctioned back, as if plated with a layer of gold, very valued, most of the buyers who came to participate this time are rich bosses, many of them are directly carrying cash, it can be said that they are wealthy.

Zhao Zhuo stood at the door waiting, Jing Yao hadn't arrived yet, but saw Tong Dongyang and Tong Feiyu walking down from a car.

It seemed that he had expected to meet Zhao Zhuo here, and the two of them did not have any surprised expressions, Tong Dongyang walked over with a smile, and stretched out his hand in a seemingly friendly manner: "Ouch, Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you look refreshed, could it be that you have found good goods?" ”

Zhao Zhuo shook him calmly, and said lightly: "No matter how good the goods I find, how can I compare with the two Tong brothers?" Your family has been preparing for three years, in order to show off their style at the Dou Porcelain Festival. ”

Tong Dongyang laughed and said: "Brother Zhao, you have misunderstood, it is right that our Tong family wants to participate in the Dou Porcelain Festival, but the collections to participate in are in their own hands, my father and my uncle and third uncle are also competitors, as for us small characters, it is just to meet the scene, so, Brother Zhao, you don't have to worry too much, look for it, there is still a chance." ”

Tong Feiyu also smiled on the side: "Yes, don't put too much pressure on yourself, the Golden Chamber's Crane Top Cup is not Brother Zhao's yours, to put it bluntly, you are making wedding dresses for others, it is better to admit defeat and forget it, so as not to lose face at the Dou Porcelain Festival." ”
