Chapter 13 Charity Bazaar

As soon as he saw Zhao Zhuo, Cui Shiyan enthusiastically called out to his junior brother, Zhao Zhuo turned his head and answered, and then heard Cui Shiyan ask with a smile: "Senior brother, why did you come here and don't tell me?" ”

"I thought that my brother might be very busy, so I didn't dare to disturb." Cui Shiyan was so enthusiastic, Zhao Zhuo was a little embarrassed.

Cui Shiyan smiled and said, "Today is really busy, do you have time at night?" ”

"If you have time, do you have any instructions?" Zhao Zhuoqi said.

Cui Shiyan said: "That's the case, there is a charity bazaar in the evening, and I was about to rush over. If you have time, come with me, and if I see someone interested, you can help me check it. And the people who participated are all celebrities, so I will introduce you to some of them, which will also be good for future work.

Cui Shiyan thought about himself so much, Zhao Zhuo was grateful, so he followed him to the scene of the charity bazaar, only to know that the venue of the bazaar was actually Duke Auction House.

At the door of the auction house hung a long banner with black letters on a white background: Mr. Zhou Wenqing's widow's charity bazaar.

When Zhao Zhuo asked, he learned that the auction, a billionaire named Zhou Wenqing, had just passed away, and his widow sold the exhibits of his life here, and all the money raised would be used for charity.

Therefore, the auction house is not only full of celebrities, but also many media reporters.

In the small hall at the entrance of the auction house, there are photos of various exhibits sold for charity, and Cui Shiyan, as the director of the museum, has a very good connection, and introduces some people to Zhao Zhuo from time to time.

Cui Shiyan was introducing, his eyes suddenly lit up, he pulled Zhao Zhuo to the other side, and greeted loudly: "Isn't this Vice President Ouyang, how can you have time to come here?" ”

Zhao Zhuo followed his line of sight and saw that he was greeting a thin old man in his fifties, and he smiled very kindly, but this Vice President Ouyang was not alone, and there were two acquaintances around him, Qin Xin and Lu Yunhai. Lu Yunhai changed his arrogant attitude and looked respectful on the side, but when he saw Zhao Zhuo and Cui Shiyan appear here, his face immediately darkened.

Vice President Ouyang said with a smile: "I passed by here on business, and I heard that a charity sale was being held here, so I stopped by to have a look." ”

"Then the next time you come here, you must come to the museum to have a look." Cui Shiyan said, pulled Zhao Zhuo and said, "Let me introduce you, this old gentleman is Mr. Ouyang Tao, the vice president of our Guangzhou Appraiser Association, and these two are ......."

Qin Xin smiled and waved his hand: "We don't need to introduce it, we have already met Xiao Zhao." Mr. Ouyang, this Xiao Zhao is the young man I mentioned to you, who collected the Yuan Dynasty money, but I don't know that it was the junior brother of Curator Cui. ”

Ouyang Tao suddenly realized, and looked at Zhao Zhuo a few more times with appreciation, but Cui Shiyan looked confused, and said strangely: "Senior brother, when did you meet Mr. Qin, what happened to the Yuan Dynasty to set money?" ”

Zhao Zhuo explained the matter of selling arbitrage money, and during the whole process, Lu Yunhai kept his face calm, only feeling that Zhao Zhuo was too much of an eyesore.

When the voice of the staff beckoning to enter came from inside, Ouyang Tao brushed his beard and said with a smile: "Let's enter, Xiao Zhao, let's have a good chat, I like to chat with talented young people." ”

Zhao Zhuo's face was modest, and Cui Shiyan quietly gave a thumbs up.

The four of them entered the auction hall together, Lu Yunhai followed alone, originally when he came with Qin Xin, Ouyang Tao still valued him a little, but Zhao Zhuo was the one who found the money, and the second was Cui Shiyan's junior brother, so this weight was naturally higher.

You must know that the status of this vice president is a pivotal figure in the antique world, and if he appreciates it, it is needless to say that he will have a future.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo intervening sideways, and also getting Ouyang Tao's attention, Lu Yunhai was so angry that his face turned blue, and it was not good to interject on the side, in case Cui Shiyan said what happened to him in the museum, it would be very bad for him.

After Ouyang Tao sat down, he talked with Zhao Zhuo very cordially, and when he discussed some knowledge of ancient money, Zhao Zhuo replied according to Mo Ling's words, and the old gentleman couldn't stop nodding his head, and his expression of appreciation overflowed on his face.

It didn't take long for the auction to begin, and the first to start the auction was a "fine snow plum picture" from the famous Qing Dynasty artist Wang Shishen, with a starting price of 200,000 yuan.

Lu Yunhai finally found an opportunity and said to Qin Xin: "Wang Shishen is one of the eight monsters in Yangzhou, he is unique among the painters of the Qing Dynasty, he is good at painting flowers and plum blossoms, Mr. Han, look at this painting, the snow is like ink droplets, the plum blossoms bloom, the spirit is clear, the ink is light and interesting, and the starting price of 200,000 yuan is still very suitable." ”

Qin Xin nodded slightly, but he didn't forget to ask Ouyang Tao: "What does Vice President Ouyang think?" ”

Ouyang Tao said with a smile: "This painting should be Wang Shishen's middle-aged work, giving people a sense of vastness and simplicity, and it can be regarded as a relatively medium to upper work in his paintings." However, Wang Shishen's works are very large, and he generally tries to collect fine works as much as possible, especially the paintings he made when he was old and blind, which can be called everyone. Of course, if you look at the price alone and win it at a price of less than 400,000, there is still some room for appreciation. ”

"Vice President Ouyang is worthy of being a big expert, and his words have benefited the younger generations a lot." Lu Yunhai took the opportunity to pat himself on the back.

Ouyang Tao smiled slightly, and didn't say much, but the painting was quickly bid for more than 400,000 yuan, and Qin Xin didn't make a move.

After several rounds of auctions, in addition to calligraphy and paintings, there are also ancient jade porcelain, inscriptions and xuan furnaces, and the prices are tens of millions, but according to Ouyang Tao's words, they are all more but not refined, and there are few fine products.

However, when a calligraphy and painting appeared, Ouyang Tao's eyes lit up suddenly, Qin Xin was immediately attracted, and Cui Shiyan's eyes were also wide.

The painting auctioned at this time is from the Ming Dynasty painter Qiu Ying's "Picture of Immortal Mountain and Jade Universe". I saw that this painting of green mountains is like a sword, pine clouds and ravines, in the meantime the fairy mountain attic, giving people a feeling of floating immortals. The starting price is not low, starting at 600,000 yuan.

Lu Yunhai couldn't help but say: "Mr. Qin, this Qiu Ying is one of the four masters of the Ming Dynasty and Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, and Tang Yin, and his paintings are all masterpieces, if it were me, even if it was a million, I would have to take it down." ”

Qin Xin glanced at Ouyang Tao, although Ouyang Tao didn't speak, but his expression seemed very focused, which showed that this painting was indeed everyone's exquisite work.

Zhao Zhuo couldn't see why, he just felt that this painting method was vigorous, although the painting was only a mountain building, but it gave people a feeling of wind and bones.

However, at this moment, Mo Ling said a few words in his ear, Zhao Zhuo was slightly stunned, and when he saw Qin Xin, he was about to raise a sign and shout the price, and said eagerly: "Mr. Qin, wait a minute!" ”

"What's wrong, young man?" Although Qin Xin was a little surprised, he still put the sign down.

"Why, you're not going to say that this painting is a fake, are you?" Seeing Zhao Zhuo's solemn face, Lu Yunhai's anger finally had a vent, and he said in a strange tone.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhuo said seriously: "I'm afraid this painting is really a fake." ”

Hearing Zhao Zhuo actually say that this painting was a fake, Lu Yunhai almost didn't laugh out loud, he said triumphantly: "Boy, although Mr. Zhou Wenqing is a multimillionaire, he is also very proficient in antiques, you say that his collection is a fake, it's really - crazy words!" ”

Cui Shiyan couldn't help but wipe his sweat, why does this junior brother always say something amazing, the first time it was like this, the second time it was like this, I don't know where he got the courage, but there is a heavyweight like Vice President Ouyang sitting next to him.

Zhao Zhuo ignored Lu Yunhai's arrogant attitude, and said lightly: "Buying and selling antiques is originally a contest between buyers and sellers in the field of knowledge, if the level of counterfeiting is high enough, then even the old connoisseur may be deceived." It can even be said that anyone can be fooled. ”

Hearing him say this, Lu Yunhai snorted heavily: "Then you mean that your appreciation skills are better than that of Mr. Zhou Wenqing?" ”

In the face of Lu Yunhai's aggressiveness, Zhao Zhuo seemed calm: "Don't dare, I mean to say, no matter how powerful a person is, there will be times when he looks away." ”

"Shhhh Even if he looks away, will he be seen by you, a hairy boy? Who do you think you are, Vice President Ouyang didn't speak, so you dare to say big things here? Lu Yunhai sneered.

Seeing that Zhao Zhuo was calm and calm, Ouyang Tao not only did not blame, but had a more appreciative taste, and he smiled lightly: "Xiao Zhao, since you said that this pair is a fake, then where is it fake?" ”

"yes, where is it?" Lu Yunhai thought that Ouyang Tao was on his side, and when his chin was raised, he was even more arrogant.

Zhao Zhuo said lightly: "In ancient times, ordinary antique shops sold things locally, but there is a kind of antique shop that is different, they sell antiques in the open, but they operate fakes in private. ”

"There's nothing surprising about this, there are more antique shops selling fakes." Lu Yunhai sneered.

Zhao Zhuo said unhurriedly: "The fakes operated by these people are not simply acquired and copied, but trained apprentices, they generally take apprentices who are about ten years old, let them paint at will, and after half a year, they will keep the apprentices who have the talent for painting and writing, and imitate similar masters according to their painting style." At the end of the year, in such ten years, twenty Chinese New Year's Eve, there is always one person who imitates and takes shape. ”

"And then?" Qin Xin had never heard of this, so he couldn't help but be a little curious.
