Zhang Yilong, the person who walked into the hall surrounded by a large number of people, recognized it at a glance, and the other party was Hua Lao, that is, the big collector who had traded with him not long ago.

"Master Gu said that there would be a master, it turned out to be Hua Lao! His appraisal skills are so clever, everyone is the right person! Zhang Yilong secretly thought, Hua Lao is one of the people he admires the most in the antique shop, and he has always wanted to worship the other party as a teacher, but he has no chance, although he had direct contact with the other party last time, but the relationship is not deep, and he has only had direct contact once or twice, and I don't know if the other party still remembers him.

"Master Gu, that's Mr. Hua." Zhang Yilong couldn't help but speak.

"How?" Gu Changqing seemed a little surprised, and said, "Brother Zhang, do you know Hua Lao?" ”

"Who doesn't know Mr. Hua on the antique street?" Zhang Yilong nodded solemnly and said, "I won't tell you, I have also cooperated with him." Master Gu, Hua Lao should also be an old member of this club, right? ”

Gu Changqing replied: "Yes, he was the guest of honor of our club a long time ago. Brother Zhang, Mr. Hua is a very good person, if you have any questions, you can ask him directly, he will know everything and say everything. ”

"Hehe, I know this." Zhang Yilong nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Hua is like everyone's mentor, take things to ask him to palm, he will respond to his requests, but he is too busy, it is basically difficult to meet others, and it is not easy to visit." ”

Gu Changqing nodded lightly and agreed: "Yes, he likes to help people." There are too many people looking for him, so he is naturally very busy. Brother Zhang, it's a pity that your master and his old man don't come out of the mountain, otherwise there will be another master in this line! But you have such profound attainments at a young age, and your future is limitless! ”

"No, I don't." Zhang Yilong hurriedly shook his head and said modestly, "Master Gu, you have won the award." ”

In fact, he is also telling the truth, his treasure appreciation mainly relies on clairvoyance, which is his biggest advantage, in addition, his real appraisal level is far less than Gu Changqing, and it is even more far away to reach the level of Hua Lao.

The reason why Zhang Yilong made up such a beautiful lie in the first place, saying that there was a master behind him who taught him to look at feng shui and identify antiques, was because he had to find an excuse for his magical ability, otherwise it would make people suspicious.

"Master Gu, I take the liberty of asking." Zhang Yilong immediately diverted the topic.

"Brother Zhang, if there is anything, you can ask directly, you don't have to be polite in front of me." Gu Changqing nodded with a smile on his face and said.

Zhang Yilong asked, "How is your relationship with Hua Lao?" Shouldn't it be good, right? ”

"Speaking of which, he is still my uncle, and my master has a deep friendship with him, but it's a pity...... Ay! Speaking of this, Gu Changqing let out a long sigh, his master's matter has always been a scar in his heart, and it hurts as soon as he reveals it.

After a pause, I only heard him continue: "After my master left, I rarely interacted with my master and uncle, and he didn't come to my store much. In the past, I wanted to invite him to dinner, get together, and have a good chat, but as you said, he was too busy, either to go to Hong Kong, Hong Kong and other places to collect, or to go abroad for investigation, or to do shows, which is like your master, incognito, living a very quiet life. ”

Zhang Yilong straightened his expression and said solemnly: "Master Gu, after all, Hua Lao is your uncle, I think he is still very concerned about the relationship between you and him, so let's have more contact with him when I have a chance in the future." ”

Gu Changqing said: "I hope so." Recently, I heard that he was working on the 'Liberation Museum', so I'll go and see it when it happens. ”

"Oh, really?" Zhang Yilong said in surprise, "You must go and appreciate it!" Hua Lao is such a big collector, it is estimated that the collection is very rich, and it will be dizzying when the time comes! ”

Gu Changqing nodded and said, "He must have collected a lot of good things, including many national treasure-level masterpieces!" Doesn't he like to participate in auctions held by international auction companies such as Christie's? Those national treasures lost abroad in the history of our country are now frequently appearing on the auction tables of these big auction companies, and many people with lofty ideals have paid for them to return the cultural relics, and Hua Lao is one of them! I once heard people say that the famous collection painting "Royal Autumn Hunting" in the Qing Palace is in the hands of Hua Lao, but I haven't had a chance to see it now, it's a good thing, a real national treasure ancient painting!! ”

"How much does that cost?" Hearing this, Zhang Yilong secretly sighed, only that Hua Lao is really rich, collects extensively, never stops, and often collects valuable treasures, which can actually be glimpsed from the other party's large purchase of the jade in his hand before.

Zhang Yilong is not very clear about Hua Lao's background, only that he is a celebrity in the collecting world and has a good reputation.

When Zhang Yilong and Gu Changqing were discussing, Hua Lao and several other masters had already sat on the rostrum, and there were a total of five appraisers, lined up behind the rostrum, waiting to communicate with everyone.

Later, the host spoke, and he told everyone to be quiet, and if there were any questions, they took turns on the stage to ask Hua Lao and others.

Zhang Yilong has no problem, the pair of palace lamps he brought are very open, there is no doubt that he is here to communicate and appreciate the collections brought by others.

Soon, someone stepped forward to inquire, and Zhang Yilong sat there and watched carefully.

"Red porcelain in the glaze!" Suddenly, Zhang Yilong's eyes lit up, and what appeared in front of him at this moment was a large porcelain jar, which was bright in color and extremely magnificent.

After all, Zhang Yilong has been in this line for so long, although the identification knowledge is limited, but there are indeed a lot of good things that he has seen with his own eyes, and the big jar that immediately pounced into his eyes is a jar in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

"That thing should be fine!" Zhang Yilong secretly made a judgment and said, the boss who looked like a big official seemed to be here to show off, so how could the exquisite porcelain cost millions.

Regarding this point, in fact, Zhang Yilong has long thought that the people who come to such a high-end club to participate in the treasure appreciation exchange meeting are either rich or expensive, and the things they collect in their hands are naturally guaranteed, and they will never take a thing casually to embarrass people, what they want is the envy and jealousy of others.

"Brother Long, did you see that? That piece of porcelain is so beautiful! ”

Zhang Zhibin's low voice of admiration suddenly sounded in his ears, Zhang Yilong shook his head, nodded and responded: "Well, I saw it." Daming Hongwu glaze red entwined lotus pattern jar, indeed rare and precious! ”

"Yes." Zhang Zhibin replied, "But it's just a piece of porcelain, except for Yuan blue and white, porcelain is very common in the antique market, and it is much inferior to your pair of 'moon shadow lanterns'!" Rare things are precious, your thing is unique, precious! ”

Zhang Yilong smiled and said: "That's not necessarily, porcelain is easy to sell, the price is easy to reflect, and it's a little interesting for me to play with this thing in my hand." ”

"That means that the reward of things is strong, and the collection value is higher!" Zhang Zhibin said in a firm tone.

Next, Zhang Yilong saw many other good things, such as "blue and white dark engraved dragon pattern bowl", "official kiln Cong bottle", Kangxi pastel porcelain...... And so on, there are also jade, gold, silver and bronze, but porcelain is the most, and the real pieces are genuine, and if they are put up for auction on the auction floor, almost every piece can reach a sky-high price of more than 10 million.

It can be imagined how rich these people are, and it is reasonable to say that they are in business, and they make a lot of money to collect and cultivate their feelings, but those officials also have antiques worth tens of millions in their hands, so it is a bit too much, unless their family is already very rich, otherwise the origin of the thing is worth studying.

But this is not about Zhang Yilong, he is not Ji. It doesn't matter if others are greedy or not, and he doesn't want to meddle in things.

Zhang Yilong and Zhang Zhibin were dazzled by this time, they really didn't come in vain tonight, they saw so many good things overnight that they couldn't see in a year before.

"Brother Zhang, do you want to go up and show things to Hua Lao and them?" At this moment, I only heard Gu Changqing, who was sitting next to him, greet.

Zhang Yilong reacted immediately, and said with a slight smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this thing." Master Gu, what about you? What goodies did you bring with you? ”

"I didn't bring anything good, just a few pieces of jade." Gu Changqing replied.

Zhang Yilong said: "I really had a big eye just now! All brought such beautiful things! There was no problem, Hua Lao nodded and said yes, it seems that this is not like an appraisal meeting, but an exhibition. ”

"Hehe, it's supposed to be a free exhibition." Gu Changqing said with a smile, "Everyone gathered here is their own family, there are good things to take out and enjoy together, and after your things are unveiled, someone may come to you to communicate with you later." ”

"Oh, that's right." Zhang Yilong nodded and said with a sudden realization.

Hearing Gu Changqing say that, Zhang Yilong suddenly felt that this was a great opportunity in front of him, he had just been introduced by Gu Changqing now, except for a few people such as Sister Ying and Kuang Lin, no one knew him at all, which was not a good phenomenon.

Since you are here, you have to meet some friends, so that you will greatly expand your channels in the future.

As the saying goes, the more friends you have, the easier the road to go, and even more so in the antique industry!

So he made a decision, turned around and whispered to Zhang Zhibin: "Xiaobin, you and Sanlin are ready, and we will also go and let Hua Lao take a look, with their palms, we will be more at ease!" ”
