Chapter 15: The Honor on the Shoulder
Although the participation in the Treasure Appreciation Conference was a little troublesome, Zhao Zhuo didn't think much about it for the time being, but things were far from being as simple as he thought.
The next day, Zhao Zhuo got up early in the morning, took the ointment hanging in the yard, boiled it in the kitchen, the consumption of the ointment was unprecedentedly large, after leaving the Duke auction house yesterday, he also went to the medicinal materials market and bought a large bag of medicinal materials back, due to the limitation of the age of medicinal materials, the quantity is also very limited, but compared to the profit of the painting, it is negligible.
At about ten o'clock, Zhao Zhuo received a call from Yu Weiyang, and then came to the appraiser branch.
As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I happened to meet Ma Tian and others chatting in the courtyard, and when I saw Zhao Zhuo coming, Ma Tian said sarcastically: "Yo, newcomer, your current reputation is as good as Zhongtian, I heard that you are actually going to participate in the treasure appreciation conference of Zhongtian Club." ”
Zhao Zhuo didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and was about to speak, but saw Tian Jiang walking out from the direction of the office, and said in a cold voice: "Ma Tian, now is not the time for you to gloat. If you have the ability, you should also go to the treasure appreciation conference. ”
"Are you ......" Ma Tian was speechless when asked, and snorted heavily, "New here, you can behave well, then the people of our association were also invited to watch the treasure appreciation conference." ”
After that, Ma Tian sneered and walked away, Tian Jiang came over and said, "Xiao Zhao, don't take his words to heart, this kid is not very capable, he will do some bullying things." The president is waiting for you in the office, so go quickly. ”
Zhao Zhuo thanked Tian Jiang and pushed open the door of Yu Weiyang's office, Yu Weiyang motioned for Zhao Zhuo to sit down, and said, "Xiao Zhao, the matter about you going to participate in the treasure appreciation conference has now spread in the association. ”
Zhao Zhuo said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect it to come here." ”
Yu Weiyang said with a smile: "This is not surprising, because the treasure appraisal conference invites people from our association to watch it every year, and the list of contestants will also be sent over, so everyone naturally knows about your participation." In fact, our association has also participated in this competition before. ”
"And the result?" Zhao Zhuo said with some curiosity.
Yu Weiyang shook his head slightly and said: "The result is naturally a fiasco, and many people were eliminated at the first level." As you know, although this treasure appraisal conference allows second-level and below appraisers to participate, the competition is very fierce, and those professional appraisers are also like wolves. Therefore, in the treasure appraisal meetings of the Zhongtian Club, there has never been a record of any member of the association winning the championship, not even the top three. ”
Zhao Zhuo nodded understandingly, the professional appraiser is indeed too fierce, not to mention that there is more than one professional appraisal company participating in the competition.
Yu Weiyang stood up and asked Zhao Zhuo seriously: "Xiao Zhao, I heard that you participated in the competition to fight Murong Xun, I want to know, how sure are you of this victory?" Of course, I don't mean to put a lot of pressure on you, but you have to understand one thing, this victory or defeat is not only yours alone, but also the honor of being a member of the association! ”
"The honor of being a member of the association?" Zhao Zhuo was slightly stunned.
Yu Weiyang's face was filled with a layer of glory and said: "Yes, as a member of this association, you have the right to represent us, and your words and deeds also represent our honor." Although the members of our association have returned home in previous competitions, everyone has done their best! So, no matter what your odds are, as long as you remember, all of us in our association are silently supporting you! ”
Zhao Zhuo was moved for a while when he heard this, but he was a little helpless, it turned out that participating in this competition was no longer his own business, whether it was Jing Yao, Qin Xin, or the entire association, they had already been involved, if he deliberately lost after winning Murong Xun in the game, what would be the result?
Zhao Zhuo didn't think much about it, but said, "President Yu, don't worry, I will do my best." ”
Yu Weiyang smiled slightly: "That's good, you don't have too much pressure, after all, you are only a junior appraiser, and this kind of competition is indeed too difficult for you, so even if you lose, you don't have to feel guilty, just fight hard." ”
After that, he took out a note and said, "This is the first appraisal task for you, if it is an obvious fake, needless to say, if it is genuine, you can bring it back for the appraiser in the meeting to do a second appraisal." ”
Zhao Zhuo nodded, took the note, and walked towards the address written on the note after going out.
This is a relatively old-fashioned community, all four-story buildings without elevators, but the big tree barge, the environment is very good, the person who asked to do the appraisal is a retired worker, there is a scroll of calligraphy and painting handed down by the ancestors, but after Zhao Zhuo's identification, it was found that it was actually a fake of Suzhou films.
The retired worker didn't believe it, stating that this was something that had been passed down for generations, Zhao Zhuo carefully explained several times, and he reluctantly believed the facts, to blame only for this fake is too realistic, and there are not a few people who regard the fake as a family heirloom.
Zhao Zhuo went downstairs and was about to leave the community when he met Professor Luo.
Rodwin is not alone, and he is accompanied by a middle-aged man in his 40s.
As soon as he saw Zhao Zhuo, a rare smile appeared on Luo Wen's face, and he even quipped: "Xiao Zhao, it's really difficult to see you, I can't find you in class now." ”
The middle-aged man was obviously a little surprised by Luo Dingwen's ridiculous tone, Luo Luo Wen has always been rigorous, and it is rare to see him laugh after working with him for so long, but he is obviously a student-like person in front of him, but he made a mocking move, so he couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhuo a few more times, but he didn't see anything surprising.
Zhao Zhuo said a little embarrassed: "I've been too busy lately. ”
Luo Wen smiled understandingly: "I understand, you have been really busy lately, and it is a big deal." By the way, let me introduce to you, this is Associate Professor Pang Kunpang of the Department of Economics, this is my student Zhao Zhuo, don't look at his young age, but he is a member of the appraiser branch like me, and even the bosses of the Zhongtian Club have asked him to identify things. ”
As soon as he heard that he was a member of the appraiser branch, and he was connected with the Zhongtian Club, Pang Kun understood the reason for Luo Wen's attitude, although he didn't believe it a little, but Professor Luo didn't have a reason to tell a lie, so he hurriedly smiled and said hello, although he maintained the demeanor of a teacher, but he was also impressed by Zhao Zhuo, as an associate professor of the Department of Economics, he also had a deep understanding of the appraisal industry, and naturally knew the gold content of those two sentences.
Luo Wen asked at this time, "Xiao Zhao, why are you here?" ”
Zhao Zhuo said: "There is an appraisal task in the association, so I will come over to take a look, I have just finished the appraisal, and now I am ready to leave." ”
Luo Wen said: "Lao Pang, I think it's better to let Xiao Zhao go with us, Xiao Zhao's vision is very poisonous, if I miss it, he can point it out." ”
"Listen to yours." Pang Kun nodded briskly.
Zhao Zhuo thought about it, so he walked towards the depths of the community with the two, while walking, Pang Kun introduced what he wanted to do, it turned out that not long ago, when Pang Kun was walking on East Street, he met a young man who was setting up a stall, selling a few small porcelain, which looked quite exquisite, and the price was not expensive, so he bought a snuff bottle for a hundred yuan. As a result, Professor Luo saw it and said that this thing was an antique, and it was estimated that it would have to be sold for three or four hundred yuan.
So Pang Kun then went to look for Dongdajie again, and actually found the young man again.
According to the young man named Maher, his grandfather's generation was an antique dealer, and there were a lot of antiques in the family, and because something happened in the family, he took out those antiques and sold them for some money, and the large ones were almost sold, and there were only some small ones left.
Pang Kun decided to go to the house rented by Mach to see the antiques he brought from home, and called Professor Luo very cautiously, but the two went to two times in a row, and found that all the antiques brought by Mach were genuine, and they had already earned 20,000 yuan as soon as they turned their hands.
Just as he was saying this, Pang Kun's phone rang, and as soon as it was connected, it turned out to be a call from Mahe, asking if the person had arrived.
Coming to the sixth floor of the seven buildings, Pang Kun knocked on the door, and Zhao Zhuo saw the young man named Mahe.
The man was only in his 20s, dressed very fashionably, even his hair was permed, and he wore studs on his ears, which was very fashionable.
When he saw that Pang Kunduo had brought one more person, he didn't ask much, he took a few people to the living room, lit a cigarette, sat on the sofa and smoked, with mp4 earbuds in one ear, his head kept moving with the music, and he looked like he ignored the three of them.
There are already more than a dozen antiques on the table in the living room, as Pang Kun said, all of them are small items, including snuff bottles, pipes, small porcelain bottles, etc., there are quite a lot of styles, basically the style of the late Qing Dynasty, and the colors are still bright, at first glance it looks quite a bit of genuine feeling.
Professor Luo also seemed to be accustomed to Mach's surname, and he began to pick up a small porcelain vase he liked and looked at it carefully.
