Chapter 37: Suffering

Manager Feng smiled bitterly: "So our boss is a good person, I am very excited about such a price, but unfortunately, my savings are not enough for a fraction." ”

His expression was vivid, making everyone feel that encountering this kind of thing was simply a blessing that the ancestors had accumulated for eight lifetimes, and it would be a fool if they didn't buy it.

Zhao Zhuo snorted secretly, and pretended to be sorry and said, "Manager Feng, you are really losing this price. In fact, if you put these things in the auction house, you can get a good price? ”

Manager Feng didn't hesitate at all, and replied with a sophisticated voice: "Little brother, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, there are a series of cumbersome procedures to auction things in the auction house, and there is also a preview, and the formal auction can only be carried out after a period of time after the preview, and you have to obey the arrangement of the auction house." But the process was too long for us, and the auction items were all disposed of within a week, according to the boss's wishes. ”

Zhao Zhuo laughed secretly, so he said embarrassedly: "If it is genuine, it will definitely be earned by buying it for one million." The point is, I'm still a little unsure if this plum vase is genuine. ”

Manager Feng's eyes widened, and he said firmly: "Of course it's genuine, our gold pawnshop is an old signboard for decades in Huaihai City!" If you don't believe it's real or not, I'll call our appraiser and show you it. ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled and said, "Manager Feng, I think it's better for me to find a friend to help take a look, what do you think?" ”

Manager Feng said happily: "Of course there is no problem. ”

Zhao Zhuo took out his mobile phone, and muttered while flipping through it: "Who should I look for, is it General Manager Xiao of Duke Auction House, or Director Cui of the museum." ”

Although he muttered this, his voice was deliberately amplified, and he happened to be heard by Manager Feng, who was immediately stunned when he heard it.

In the small city of Huaihai, in fact, there are such a group of people in the antique industry, who have never seen or heard of it, one is the general manager of the largest auction house in the city, and the other is the director of the museum, how could Manager Feng not have heard of it.

Manager Feng wondered how this young man could know these two people, he quietly poked his head over and glanced at Zhao Zhuo's mobile phone, this glance didn't matter, and his pupils immediately dilated.

I saw that the mobile phone address book was densely stored with the numbers of various big people, Xiao Wanqiang and Cui Shiyan's, there was even the chairman of a certain group, the president of a certain group, and it was not one, with the flipping of the address book, there were as many as thirty or forty, and there were four words in front of each person: Zhongtian Club!

What is Jomtien Clubhouse? No one who does antiques does not know this place, which is the gathering place of the richest people in Huaihai City, and it is also the most high-end antique trading place, for antique merchants, if they can get acquainted with the rich and powerful there, money will continue to pour in, but there are very few who can be qualified to enter the Zhongtian Club.

Zhao Zhuo knew that Manager Feng was peeking, so he deliberately flipped the address book slowly, and when he moved to another number, he turned his head and smiled at Manager Feng, whose face changed slightly: "Or invite Captain Wang of the Criminal Police Brigade to come, he has cracked several antique fraud cases in recent years, and he is also an antique lover in private, so it must be best for him to help identify it." ”

Manager Feng's face changed suddenly, although he was very suspicious of whether Zhao Zhuo really knew these people, but he was not sure at all, because he had heard more or less of the names on this address book, all of them were big businessmen who loved antiques, he rolled his eyes, and said cautiously: "I can't see that the little brother still knows so many people, and he is very well-connected." ”

Li Chengliang glanced at Zhao Zhuo's mobile phone, patted Zhao Zhuo's shoulder and said, "Hey, you are not an appraiser in vain, there are so many bosses above, even the captain of the criminal police brigade knows it." ”

"Appraiser?" Manager Feng was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhuo again, only to feel that although this young man was mediocre, he had an extraordinary temperament all over his body, and that kind of calm and composedness made people dare not underestimate him.

At this time, Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly, took out a business card box from his arms, took out a gilded business card from it, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Under Zhao Zhuo, please ask Manager Feng for more advice." ”

This business card was made and put in the car early in the morning when Qin Xin delivered the car, Zhao Zhuo has never had a chance to use it, but now he can use it.

As soon as he saw this business card, Manager Feng was dumbfounded, there were not many words on the business card, the middle was Zhao Zhuo's name, and the following title turned out to be: Member of Huaihai City Appraiser Branch, junior appraiser.

What is even more shocking is a line of bold characters on the upper left side of the business card, which is suddenly printed: Zhongtian Club, Specially Appointed Appraiser.

There is nothing surprising about a junior appraiser, but to be a member of the appraiser association, you must either have extraordinary strength or have a strong backstage, and the identity of the special appraiser of the Zhongtian Club makes Manager Feng's reason why there are so many big people in the address book logical.

Manager Feng's heart was beating wildly, and when his eyes fell on the name of the business card, and when he inadvertently linked several factors of the junior appraiser, branch members and Zhongtian Club in his mind, he exclaimed like a lightning strike: "You...... Are you Zhao Zhuo? ”

Li Chengliang and the others also took a business card at this time, and whispered there, although they didn't know what the Zhongtian Club was, but they didn't expect that Zhao Zhuo was actually a member of the association.

At this time, when they heard Manager Feng's shout, they all raised their heads with puzzled expressions.

Zhao Zhuo smiled leisurely and said, "What, Manager Feng knows me?" ”

Manager Feng's face became the color of pig liver, and he couldn't even speak at this time, the shock in his heart can be imagined, the annual treasure appreciation conference of Zhongtian Club is a grand event in the antique industry in Huaihai City, although many people who play antiques have no chance to go in to see, but the events are widely circulated in the market.

And the hottest topic this year is that a young man named Zhao Zhuo has won four games in a row, defeated the hottest second-level professional appraiser, and won the championship of the treasure appraisal conference.

It is said that this man named Zhao Zhuo is only a student, and he is only a junior appraiser, but he is also a member of the Huaihai Division Appraiser Branch.

From the perspective of identity, he is impossible to become the opponent of the second-level appraiser, however, he has shown amazing strength in every game and won the championship, which also means that he has become the strongest second-level appraiser in Huaihai City, not only has a bright future and a good reputation, but also has a wide range of contacts, and has a net worth of tens of millions.

The man in front of him is named Zhao Zhuo, and he is a student, coupled with this special gilded business card specially made by the legendary Zhongtian Club, Manager Feng also suddenly knew that the young man in front of him was the champion of the treasure appreciation conference.

Looking at the playful look in Zhao Zhuo's eyes, Manager Feng knew that with Zhao Zhuo's connections, as long as he said a word, he could evaporate from the world.

He finally came back to his senses and said apologetically: "Mr. Zhao, I really don't know Taishan, here, I'll return your friend's money to him immediately." ”

After that, he hurriedly took out eight hundred yuan from his wallet, stuffed it into the big man's hand, and said flatteringly: "Classmate, you can keep this money, and you can dispose of the things you bought." ”

"This ......" The big head and the others couldn't help but be stunned, a little unaware of Manager Feng's sudden move.

Zhao Zhuo said lightly: "Manager Feng, I think it's better for you to explain, it seems that my classmates still don't understand." ”

"Xiao Zhuo, what the hell is going on?" Wood said with a confused expression.

Manager Feng sighed, and now he had no choice but to confess: "Classmate, what you bought is a fake." ”

"What fake?" Dong Xiaodong was taken aback when he heard it and said, "Manager, didn't you say that this is definitely genuine?" ”

"What about this agate jade plaque?" The ant immediately asked.

Manager Feng said helplessly: "It's also a fake." ”

"Okay, you're a liar, you actually pretend to be like this, if I bought it, wouldn't it be your trap!" The ant immediately cursed.

In the face of the gossip accusations of the big head and others, Manager Feng smiled bitterly and said: "I know it's me who is wrong, but I also have a hard time doing this." ”

"What's the problem? Can you deceive people if you have a hard time? The big head crossed his arms and sneered.

Manager Feng sighed and said with a wry smile: "I was an orphan since I was a child, I was taken home by the boss when I was a child, he had no children and no daughters, and he always treated me as his own son, taught me appraisal knowledge hand in hand, trained me to be an appraiser, and placed high hopes on me." ”

"This gold pawnshop was created by him, it has been decades old, and it is an old signboard. Last year, he was hospitalized because of a bad heart attack, and I managed the store, and last month, I received a Tang Dynasty porcelain, which was probably the most expensive porcelain I had ever received, and spent more than 300,000 pawn fees, but I was hot for a while, thinking it was genuine, and I wanted to surprise the boss when he was discharged from the hospital. However, when the old appraiser in the industry returned, he was identified as a fake. ”

Everyone was still angry, but when they heard this, they felt that Manager Feng was not as hateful as they imagined, and Zhao Zhuo didn't speak, just listened to him continue.

Manager Feng sighed: "In order to make up for the gap in funds, I had to make this decision and get a batch of fakes to sell, thinking, anyway, there are many people in the antique industry who do this, and I will stop when I earn the lack of funds, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zhao." Mr. Zhao, the whole thing is because of me, no matter what you want to do to me, I just ask you not to involve the Golden Dictionary Shop. ”
