Chapter IV: Entrustment

The next day, as soon as Zhao Zhuo finished class, he received a call from Ge Fugui, who said eagerly: "Brother, someone wants to see you." ”

"See me?" Zhao Zhuo said puzzled.

Ge Fugui said: "He is a very famous collector, not only in Guangzhou Province but also in the whole country. I heard that you are a collector of two sets of money, and I would like to see you no matter what. ”

"No problem." Zhao Zhuo didn't think much about it and agreed.

Ge Fugui said again: "By the way, the auction time for the money has been set, do you want to come and participate in it?" I'm sure you'll be able to meet a lot of people. ”

"I'm not going to the auction." Zhao Zhuo said that he had already thought about this problem, and it was enough to give him a headache to participate in the treasure appreciation conference, and the auction was estimated to attract many people and media, and there was no need to be in the limelight.

Ge Fugui said regretfully: "Brother, you are too low-key, if people get together a set of money, they can't wait to put their names on the covers of various magazines, you are good, you don't care about this kind of thing at all." ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled, hung up the phone, and took the car to the auction house.

The auction house is full of promotional pictures about the next auction items inside and out, and the most attractive ones are, of course, the rare Han Dynasty set of money and the gold wrong knife mother money.

When I came to the auction house, I said hello to Zhao Zhuo, when I had gathered a set of money to sell, Zhao Zhuo was already a little famous here, and this second set of money was even more incredible, even the general manager Xiao Wanqiang was shocked when I appraised it, Zhao Zhuo's reputation was naturally very loud, both the staff and the appraiser recognized this young man.

When he came to Xiao Wanqiang's office, in addition to Ge Fugui, the other person in it was actually Ji Yuan.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo coming, Xiao Wanqiang showed a smile and was about to introduce, but Ji Yuan stood up and said with surprise and joy: "Xiao Zhao, it turns out that it's really you!" ”

Seeing that Ji Yuan was actually Zhao Zhuo, Xiao Wanqiang and Ge Fugui were stunned, Zhao Zhuo didn't expect that the collector that Ge Fugui said was Ji Yuan, so he was stunned for a moment and said hello with a smile.

Xiao Wanqiang said in surprise: "Mr. Ji knows Xiao Zhao? ”

Ji Yuan smiled heartily: "Don't you know, I just finished talking to Xiao Zhao yesterday." ”

Xiao Wanqiang and the others were even more confused, but Ji Yuan didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao still remembers what I said yesterday, I said that there are three things for me to come to Huaihai City, one is to make up the painting, and the second is this set of money." ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded, Ge Fugui only understood when he heard this, and explained to Xiao Wanqiang in a whisper, Xiao Wanqiang only then knew that it had been rumored recently, that there was an appraiser from the Zhongtian Club who would make up the painting was actually true, and this person was Zhao Zhuo, and when he heard this, he paid more attention to Zhao Zhuo's vision.

Ji Yuan said: "As soon as I heard that the collector of this set of money is also called Zhao Zhuo, I felt very surprised, and there is more than one set of collections, so I have a feeling, so I asked Vice President Ge to call you, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled, only to hear Ji Yuan look at him seriously, and said with appreciation: "I really didn't expect that two things in Huaihai City were related to you, this is really a rare fate, I also saw the Han Dynasty's set of money just now, it really can't be true, especially the mother money of the golden wrong knife, it is simply an eye-opener, I believe that the auction is enough to make the ancient money collectors crazy." ”

Xiao Wanqiang and the others laughed, the auction house worked hard to publicize, in order to sell this set of money to the highest price, the two obviously knew Ji Yuan's details, and listening to his tone, they knew that he was bound to get this ancient money.

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he said to Zhao Zhuo: "Actually, I want to see you, first, to confirm my prediction, and second, to make a request." ”

"Request?" Zhao Zhuo was puzzled.

Ji Yuan said with a smile: "For ancient money collectors, it is the highest honor to be able to collect a set of coins, in order to collect a set of ancient coins, many ancient money appraisers are specialized in the identification of ancient coins of a dynasty, and their eyesight is very vicious, but do you know why there are only a few people who collect a set of coins?" ”

Ge Fugui said with a smile: "Of course, this is because the amount of some ancient coins is scarce, and you can't meet them if you want to." ”

Ji Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Vice President Ge is right, this can be summed up in one word - luck." ”

"Luck?" All three were stunned.

Ji Yuan said: "If you don't encounter the luck of Gu Qian, no matter how strong your eyesight is, it will be in vain. And people who have this fortune and have such strong eyesight are even more like this, and Xiao Zhao, you are exactly such a person. ”

"Mr. Ji has won the award." Zhao Zhuo responded modestly, but looked at the ink spirit beside him, if it weren't for the ink spirit, how could he have such a vision, and how could he have such luck?

Such a false praise should be praised to Mo Ling.

Ji Yuan stood up at this time, walked up to him and said: "I have always been very fond of ancient coins in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and I have collected a lot of them over the years. Originally, I didn't have any extravagant hopes, but after seeing this Han Dynasty set of money, I wanted to ask Xiao Zhao to do me a favor. ”

"As long as I help, it's fine." Zhao Zhuo said.

Ji Yuan said, "I want to ask you to help me find a three-hole cloth." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wanqiang and the others were taken aback, and Zhao Zhuo was also stunned.

The three-hole cloth is the ancient money of the late Warring States period, it is herringbone, its cloth head and cloth foot each have a round hole, the casting is fine, the shape is peculiar, the quality is beautiful, the number of hand-down and unearthed is very small, there are only dozens of pieces in the domestic collection, it is one of the "fifty treasures" of the ancient Chinese money.

In recent auctions, there has been an auction of three-hole cloth, and the price reached a high price of more than 3.2 million, and now the price of this three-hole cloth has long exceeded this number.

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he smiled and said, "You don't have to be pressured, my request is just a little extravagant." ”

Zhao Zhuo calmed down and said, "Don't worry, Old Ji, if I really get a three-hole cloth, then its owner must be you, Mr. Ji." ”

Ji Yuan couldn't help laughing, patted Zhao Zhuo's shoulder lightly and said, "Xiao Zhao, when you come to Baicheng, I will definitely introduce my grandson to you, I believe you will definitely become good friends." ”

After saying this, Ji Yuan left in a hurry, and Xiao Wanqiang sighed and said, "I didn't expect Xiao Zhao to be valued by Mr. Ji, it's really not easy." Don't look at Mr. Ji so peaceful, in fact, his eyes are extremely critical, and it is the first time I have seen him talk to people so gently. ”

Ge Fugui said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, this is not difficult to understand, Mr. Ji is an ancient money idiot, and he naturally favors Brother Zhao, who has collected two sets of money." ”

Zhao Zhuo said modestly: "Brother Ge has won the award, and I am just lucky." ”

Ge Fugui said: "It's this luck, but it's a matter of heaven, I believe that brother, you can also find the three-hole cloth." ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled faintly, no matter how lucky he was, what was this three-hole cloth that was so easy to find? What's more, he really didn't have the heart to think about this now, and the treasure appreciation conference was imminent.

Due to the fire in Jing Yao's community, although her residence was not burned, the corridor had long been smoked, and various facilities had been destroyed, so there was no way to live in it for the time being, so she moved all the books and the like to the hotel, preparing to live there for a while.

Zhao Zhuo had no choice but to go to the hotel every night to study jade knowledge under her guidance, or to be precise, it was more like a kind of exchange, because Mo Ling's knowledge was too rich, and although Jing Yao was a first-level appraiser, there was an obvious gap between them.

Especially the historical origin of many famous weapons, Mo Ling knows very well, and when Zhao Zhuo said it, Jing Yao was also dumbfounded when he heard it, and he was always surprised.

However, when it comes to jade in the late Qing Dynasty, Zhao Zhuo really doesn't know anything, and he becomes a good student.

Jing Yao also couldn't laugh at this situation, most appraisers are antiques that are closer to history, the more they understand, but Zhao Zhuo is a bit the opposite.

As the days passed, it was finally time for the treasure appraisal conference.
