Chapter 10 Duke Auction House

Coupled with the Zhizhi Tongbao obtained from Gu Chao, Zhao Zhuo finally collected 124 sets of money in the Yuan Dynasty, which took nearly half a month to collect and was worth hundreds of thousands, Zhao Zhuo naturally would not take it to the store to sell, what he chose was the auction house.

He heard the name Duke Auction House from Uncle Zhou, and after asking Professor Luo about it, he knew that this auction house had a very good reputation in Huaihai City, and the price was very fair.

So the next morning, Zhao Zhuo came to Duke Auction House with a tin box full of ancient coins.

Located in the bustling area of the southern city, Duke Auction House is a three-storey building with two giant stone lions and European-style reliefs.

Two security guards stood on either side with their waists straight, condescending to every passerby.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo about to walk in, one of the security guards immediately shouted, "Hey, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

Zhao Zhuo saw his disdainful look, and he was not angry, and asked very calmly: "This is not a place to sell things?" ”

"Sell something? See clearly, shoot-sell-OK, where you sell treasures, you have to sell things to other places! "The security guard dared to treat Zhao Zhuo as a salesman.

Zhao Zhuo was amused, and was about to explain, but saw Lu Yunhai walking over from the opposite side.

Lu Yunhai was wearing a high-end suit today, his hair was black and black, reflecting the light like leather shoes, and in front of him walked a middle-aged man in his forties.

As soon as he saw Zhao Zhuo, Lu Yunhai's face suddenly darkened: "It's you?" ”

Although Zhao Zhuo didn't take what happened in the museum to heart, he really didn't have a good impression of Lu Yunhai.

The middle-aged man didn't see Lu Yunhai's expression, and smiled kindly: "It's your friend?" ”

"Mr. Qin, of course not, I've only met once." Lu Yunhai hurriedly denied it, and at the same time glared at Zhao Zhuo fiercely.

"Meeting is fate, young man, what do you have in this tin box?" The middle-aged man obviously didn't know the contradiction between Lu Yunhai and Zhao Zhuo, and asked with interest.

"A little ancient money." Zhao Zhuo heard Cui Shiyan say that this Lu Yunhai is an appraiser who specializes in serving businessmen, and it seems that this middle-aged man should be a boss who hired him, but this person seems to be quite kind, so he replied.

"Do you want to sell antique money in the auction house?" Lu Yunhaixiang laughed like a joke, and after laughing, he said with a straight face, "The things in the auction house are at least 100,000 yuan, how much can your box of ancient money be worth?" ”

"Eh, Yunhai, don't say that, it's normal for young people to not understand prices, and it's understandable to come here and ask, after all, this is more formal than the ancient money market. Little brother, come in with me, and I'll find someone to help you identify it. The middle-aged man said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Zhao Zhuo saw that he was so enthusiastic, and he was embarrassed to refuse, so he followed.

The two security guards hurriedly greeted respectfully, and they didn't dare to stop Zhao Zhuo for half a step. Lu Yunhai saw that he was so ignorant, and his face was gloomy.

After walking into the auction house, Zhao Zhuo was immediately attracted by the beautifully decorated hall, but at this time, he heard Mo Ling say on the side: "Big brother, that sister is so beautiful. ”

Zhao Zhuo followed her gaze and saw a stunning woman standing on the side of the hall.

This woman is only 23 or 4 years old, and the facial features on her pretty face are like those in the painting, so beautiful that people are suffocating, and her jade face is as delicate as a flower, and her skin is better than snow. Under the long wavy hair, he is wearing a black professional uniform, which looks curvaceous and convex, and he is not as beautiful as a mortal.

If it weren't for getting along with Mo Ling for two days, Zhao Zhuo would definitely have seen his eyes straight, but this ol's expression was cold, and it seemed that it was not easy to get along.

Seeing Mr. Qin and the two coming in, the stunning woman walked over, with a professional smile on her face and said, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Lu Yunhai saw her as soon as he walked in, his eyes were straight, and he didn't come back to his senses until this time, and praised stupidly: "Jing Yao, you are really getting more and more beautiful." ”

"Miss Jing is not only beautiful, but what is even more rare is her talent, and I Qin Xin knows a lot of appraisers, and there are only a handful of appraisers in China who can become a first-class appraiser at such a young age." Mr. Qin gave a thumbs up and praised.

"The two of you have won the prize, so I will arrange a place for you." Jing Yao's expression did not change in the slightest because of appreciation, and said with a faint smile.

"Don't worry, this young man brought some ancient money and wanted to consult the price, Miss Jing, how about you arrange it for me?" Qin Xin said.

Jing Yao noticed Zhao Zhuo at this time, she looked back inside and said, "There happened to be a batch of auction items sent over today, and the appraisers in the company are very busy, otherwise, I'll appraise it." ”

"Where are some ancient coins worthy of Miss Jing's shot, I will identify them, although I am a calligraphy and painting appraiser, but I also have dabbling in ancient coins, and ordinary fraud can't hide from my eyes." Lu Yunhai said suddenly.

Zhao Zhuo glanced at him, and saw that there was some sarcasm in his eyes, and he knew that he wanted to ridicule himself in public, he shook his head secretly, this person is really too narrow-minded, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed at that time.

In a small room in the auction house, Zhao Zhuo opened the tin box, revealing a box full of ancient coins.

"It's quite a lot, but I don't know if it's true or not." Lu Yunhai smiled at the corners of his mouth, his tone was full of contempt, he picked up one and looked at it, frowned slightly, and put it aside.

Apparently things were not as real money as he had imagined.

Jing Yao didn't leave, but stood aside and watched quietly, with no emotional fluctuations in her expression, as if her expression was always cold.

Qin Xin was also watching from the side, picking up an ancient coin that had been identified from time to time, and asked Jing Yao for some knowledge about the identification of ancient coins, and Jing Yao answered fluently.

Mo Ling listened to it and couldn't help but sigh: "This sister is not only beautiful, but also has a lot of knowledge. ”

Zhao Zhuo said with a smile: "Sister Ling'er, you are also very beautiful and knowledgeable. ”

"Really?" Mo Ling suddenly rejoiced when he heard this, and raised his face and smiled like a flower.

Time passed minute by minute, and with the determination of the real coins, Lu Yunhai's brows also furrowed even deeper, and the seventy or eighty ancient coins were all genuine.

Qin Xin continued to look at the ancient money, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Why are they all ancient coins of the Yuan Dynasty?" ”

As soon as he said this, Jing Yao's calm expression suddenly moved a little, and Lu Yunhai almost subconsciously placed the distinguished ancient coins on the table in turn, and then screened the remaining ancient coins.

When all the 124 ancient coins were identified as genuine, and each one was not repeated, Jing Yao's eyes flashed with brilliance, and Lu Yunhai said dumbly in disbelief as if he had been struck by lightning...... Set money. ”

Qin Xin also changed his calm expression, his eyes swept back and forth on the ancient money on the table, and he exclaimed again and again: "I've only heard of the name of the money, but I didn't expect to see it today, this little ancient money is connected together, and it really feels a bit magnificent." ”

Jing Yao also bowed his head lightly and said: "Although the price of the money is not as high as the sky-high price of ancient jade porcelain, it is the best coveted by collectors of ancient money, the weight is not in its price, but in its value, in the past ten years, there are few figures in the market to set money." ”

Lu Yunhai heard the meaning of value in Jing Yao's words, he was angry, he wanted to taunt Zhao Zhuo, where did he think that this box contained a set of money, to say that this set of money is fake, but it was identified by himself, to say that he is real, wouldn't it fuel his prestige.

Qin Xin looked at it and asked curiously, "Young man, did you get this set of money?" ”

"I accidentally found it." Zhao Zhuo smiled lightly.

Lu Yunhai glared at him fiercely, this guy is too pretending, but if it wasn't from the family, and it wasn't handed down from the family, where did it come from? Recently, I haven't heard of a collector who has lost his Yuan Dynasty set of money.

Hearing him say this, Jing Yao couldn't help but glance at him more, although the man in front of him was plain in appearance and plainly dressed, but his understatement tone didn't seem to be pretending.

You know, ancient money counterfeiting is not only modern, since there is ancient money, there is fake money, to pick out 124 real money in this vast sea of money, I am afraid that many people spend a lifetime are difficult to achieve, which requires the vision and energy is by no means so easy.

It's just that the three of them don't know that the reason why Zhao Zhuo said it so easily is just because this set of money is just his hard work for nearly half a month, compared to those people who spent ten years and decades to get it, it is naturally different in weight.

For the sake of prudence, Jing Yao notified the company's vice president Ge of this matter.

After a while, the chubby vice president Ge brought two temporary ancient money appraisers to conduct a second appraisal of 124 ancient coins in the small room, which took more than an hour to finally determine that all were genuine.

Vice President Ge obviously attached great importance to this set of money, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, then let's sign the agreement now, come, you can take a look first." ”

Zhao Zhuo took a dozen pages of the agreement and read it carefully, it was full of terms and conditions, which was nothing more than that the auction house would vigorously promote the seller's collection to obtain the best auction price, and after the auction, 10% of the auction proceeds would be paid as a handling fee.

Zhao Zhuo asked: "I want to know, you have been publicizing for a long time, how long will this set of money be auctioned?" ”

Vice President Ge said with a smile: "Generally speaking, it takes at least two weeks of publicity, of course, such a rare set of money, according to the effect may be extended, we strive to attract ancient money collectors from all over the country, and then auction a high price." ”

"Two weeks is too long, can't it be arranged in these days?" Zhao Zhuo frowned, he didn't have time to wait so long.
