Early in the morning, the three of them had breakfast, Ao Tang took a big woven bag to put the gilded bronze Buddha statue, he had already asked Lao Li, the international flights were strictly checked, and the domestic flights were generally fine, anyway, they were flying around, and the things were still in the country.

Mi Lu smiled and said: "Ao Tang, you are also a rich man, and you booked a first-class cabin, but you travel with a broken woven bag, can't you bring a suitcase, this Buddha statue is not big." ”

Ao Tang laughed, he didn't get rich for a long time, but he didn't pay so much attention to it, this woven bag is not broken, there are some fertilizer bags and cement bags hidden in the house in Mangrove Village, that is the real broken bag, it can still hold things. However, those broken bags probably won't be used again in the future, Ao Tang is not a thrifty person in nature, and there was no way before.

Chen Yuanyuan stood up and dragged a suitcase out of his room: "Use this." ”

Ao Tang complied with them, and asked Mi Lu again: "Lan Jia and Lan Gui left one for you, which one do you want?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the two small octopuses on the table curiously, A is the first in the heavenly stem, the last in the heavenly stem, and what about the eight in the middle? And why let Lulu choose, aren't they all little octopuses, is there any difference?

"Hmm." Mi Lu groaned, Lan Jia can "communicate", Lan Jia is stupid and can't use a mobile phone, but it is also interesting to teach the little octopus, and I think Lan Jia can do a lot of things for Ao Tang, "Lan Gui." ”

Lan Hui and Lan Jia shook hands and said goodbye, obediently crawled to Mi Lu's side, Ao Tang stuffed Lan Jia into his pocket, and was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Hey, we'll give you a ride, so you don't have to take a taxi. It's just a check-in today, and there's nothing to do, and your flight is early, so it's completely in time. I haven't driven in a long time, and today I drove. ”

Before entering the security check, Mi Lu grabbed Ao Tang and said, "Don't ...... it"

"Don't be distracted." Ao Tang picked it up with a smile, and he couldn't be clearer about what Lulu wanted to say.

"It's good to know, Ao Tang, you have to be a good man." Mi Lu looked at Ao Tang, and always felt that her request was not binding on him, but after getting along for so long, she could still be sure of one thing, although Ao Tang had no lower limit, but the bottom limit should still be there, otherwise he would have had a chance to eat Yuanyuan.

Mi Lu didn't know if Ao Tang could be a good man, and she thought of the new standard of female surnames that are joked about nowadays: she can go to the hall, go down to the kitchen, kill Trojan horses, climb over walls, drive a good car, afford a good house, fight a junior, and beat hooligans...... Everything else is easy to do, Mi Lu only hopes that he doesn't have to devote his limited life to the infinite Dou Xiaosan.

Three hours later, the plane arrived at Shencheng Airport, and as soon as Ao Tang came out, he saw Yu Zhiwei and Zhao Jia. Looking at Yu Zhiwei's smiling face, Ao Tang sighed in his heart, he felt guilty when Mi Lu asked just now, but if he really broke off with Yuanyuan and Zhiwei, then he was also sorry for them, after all, he was too greedy, and after despising himself in his heart, Ao Tang decided to put down his burden and walked over with a smile.

There is also a man next to Zhao Jia, with glasses, a little chubby, Zhao Jia introduced: "My boyfriend Wang Lei, from the computer department of our school, is an otaku. ”

"Oh, hello, hello."

Wang Lei smiled and said: "I have admired the name for a long time." Many animals in the department hope that through my relationship with Jiajia, they will get to know the mermaid in a roundabout way, or Brother Ao, you are amazing, and you will break the flowers thousands of miles away. ”

Mermaid? Ao Tang glanced at Yu Zhiwei funny, Yu Zhiwei was slightly embarrassed, the school swimming pool is not closed, and the women's swimming team will always attract some boys to watch when training, her surname is Yu, she is beautiful, and her swimming style is also beautiful, and she soon won the title of "mermaid".

Zhao Jia drove a Roewe 550 over, and when she arrived at the parking lot of Guanghua University, she said: "Ao Tang, borrow this car for you to drive, we still have a car over there." We only started school on September 2nd, so we can still be crazy for a few days before school starts, bye-bye. ”

"Huh? It's almost noon and don't eat together? And I drive too hard, it's easy to break the car. ”

Zhao Jia pulled Wang Lei out of the car and said with a smile: "If I don't eat with you, I won't be your light bulb, and what's even more sad is that standing with your pair, Wang Lei and I have completely become supporting roles." You can drive the car, anyway, I already know that you are a big tyrant, and I will pay for a new one if it breaks. ”

Dizzy, Ao Tang looked at Zhao Jia and Wang Lei getting into a golf, turned his head to Yu Zhiwei and said, "Then let's go to Lao Li, uh, Uncle Li." ”

"Okay." Yu Zhiwei nodded, Li Wenbo and her father have been friends for many years, but she has never been to Li Wenbo's antique shop before.

Li Wenbo's antique shop is called "Le Gu Zhai", in the antique shop like what Ji Gu, Zhi Gu, Le Gu, Ming Gu and the like are common names, and there are dozens or hundreds of people called Le Gu Zhai all over the country. Seeing Ao Tang and Yu Zhiwei coming, he welcomed them with a smile, glanced at the suitcase that Ao Tang was pulling, and immediately took them to the second floor.

Not in a hurry to look at the contents of the suitcase, Li Wenbo said: "The auction will be at two o'clock in the afternoon, in fact, Ao Tang, if you want to auction for a higher price, you can cancel the auction." ”

"How?"

Li Wenbo was a little embarrassed, because he didn't work too hard to help Ao Tang deal with the auction items before, in the past, he and Ao Tang were nothing more than transactions, but now because the Yu family has become closer, some things can be done more carefully.

"In the auction industry, there is a very key word, called 'orderly circulation', which has a great impact on whether the auction price can be sky-high......"

Li Wenbo introduced that the so-called orderly circulation refers to the clear process of transmission of the instrument, the innocent origin, the evidence can be examined, and the evidence is well documented, which has two deep meanings, the first is to avoid the authenticity of the auction items, or to affirm the auction items as "true"; Second, if it has been circulated in the hands of famous artists, or has been collected by famous museums, or auctioned at a large auction with a high reputation, it can further increase its value.

The porcelain taken out by Ao Tang was identified by Li Wenbo as genuine and precious, but whether it was true or not was not precious or not, it was not what Ao Tang said or Li Wenbo said. If it is something that has been circulated in an orderly manner, such as a bottle that was once collected by a famous person or a well-known museum, then even if it is fake, it can be said to be true.

"It doesn't matter whether the thing itself is true or not, the key is to convince others that it is true, and of course, it is best to add 'truth' to the truth."

Similarly, Ao Tang took out a real Yuan Qinghua, but who is Ao Tang? Is it a famous collector, or some famous family? No one has ever heard of this person, so why is it true that what you took out?

As for Ao Tang saying that this Yuan Qinghua is ancestral, that's really a joke, who doesn't know in this industry, everything that is claimed to be ancestral, not to mention 100%, 99% is problematic!

Why do you have a questionable origin, no evidence, unknown true or false - even if it is true - Yuan Qinghua is auctioned for a sky-high price?

Li Wenbo said: "Your gourd bottle with a peony pattern this time, according to the appraisal of me and a few friends, is indeed made from the Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng year, well-made, well-preserved, and exactly the same as the one auctioned by Christie's in New York in 06." That is 2 million US dollars, according to the exchange rate at the time, plus the Yuan Qinghua has been rising in recent years, with the recent market, if the 06 year is taken out and then auctioned, because it is circulated in an orderly manner, it is possible to shoot 30 or 40 million yuan. But yours, I estimate that it can be photographed for up to 18 million. This is already something I have helped me do, and if you take it out directly, it may only be worth a million. ”

Millions, millions, thirty or forty million, the price span of the same thing is too big, Ao Tang shook his head when he heard it, there was too much "water" in the auction.

"Of course, although I did some 'formalities', I didn't try to do my best, this ...... In the past, haha, after all, it was quite annoying to do the formalities, and although I tried my best, I didn't do my best. ”

Li Wenbo's so-called "formalities" are to turn things of unknown origin into things that circulate in an orderly manner, and although it is troublesome, the principle in the middle is very simple. For example, Ao Tang, the Yuan Qinghua, assuming that he sells it for 18 million or 15 million this time, it has already undergone a "bleaching", and it is no longer of unknown origin, and the next owner can say openly, "I started at the xx auction at the xx price, clearly and clearly." ”

And when Ao Tang didn't know it, this bottle had actually been "bleached" by Li Wenbo several times, but the bleaching force was not strong enough.

Their industry has various relationships in the industry, and it is not easy to do it in China, so they can do it abroad. For example, Li Wenbo took the bottle to Vietnam, participated in an auction in Vietnam, made an appointment in advance, put the bottle at a low price, and Li Wenbo bought it back at a low price, which was a "bleaching". Since then, the origin of this bottle is no longer unknown, "I bought it at a certain auction in a certain year and month, a certain country, and the origin is clear." ”

But this bleaching alone is not enough, because the auction in Vietnam is not a high-style auction, it is not a large-scale, famous auction, and the origin is too simple after only one low-style auction.

Then one time is not enough, Li Wenbo can do it several times, and even buy the relationship to make the whole story. Now this gourd bottle was taken out by Ao Tang this year, but Li Wenbo has added four auction processes to it in 03, 06, 08, and 11. Otherwise, as Li Wenbo said, he will be able to shoot a million.

"But I haven't done it better yet, because the cost in the middle is a bit big." Li Wenbo and Ao Tang were only trading in the past, but they were unwilling to bear too much price.

The so-called better procedure is to add one or more "famous collections" to the bottle. Of course, many famous people are stylish, but there will be a small group of people in every industry, and this small group of famous people is happy to charge a high benefit fee to help add this link. The first few auctions, because they are all small countries, have little influence, but they are different with the collection of famous artists, this is collected by a certain famous family, a certain famous family is a master in the collection world, the antique world, he has collected things from the old man, so do you need to say?

Li Wenbo sighed: "In fact, this line, whether it is true or not, rare or not, is not the determining factor, like the Guiguzi pot in 05, 229 million yuan, but our industry actually thinks that Guiguzi's Yuan Qinghua is not a superior work in Yuan Qinghua." In short, if you want to fetch a sky-high price, then withdraw the auction today, and I can operate again. ”

Ao Tang and Yu Zhiwei were dumbfounded, Yu Zhiwei originally wanted to go to the auction site to see it, but now they feel uninterested, who knows what "stories" those lots have? Ao Tang also became less interested, shook his head and said, "Uncle Li doesn't need to bother, let's shoot this directly this time." ”

He is short of money, purchasing mobile phones and tablets, contracting reservoirs, opening companies, setting up scholarships, and spending money quickly, especially the purchase of 99 Rolex 3900-meter extreme diving watches at one time, which cost 8 million yuan, fortunately there are not so many spots, he only paid a deposit for the time being, but when the goods arrive, he has to pay, right? If you don't shoot that Yuan Qinghua today, you can only ask Lulu for money.

Ao Tang said again: "After listening to Uncle Li's words, I don't want to go to the auction at all, it's too nonsense, and I'm still bothering you." Oh, and what you brought today is also for you. ”

Looking at the gilded bronze Buddha statue that Ao Tang took out, Li Wenbo couldn't help but be surprised: "It's not porcelain this time?" ”

Ao Tang smiled: "I'll send the porcelain tomorrow, and there are two boxes of silver dollars." Today's Buddha statue, from Fuxian Lake in Tiannan Province, was accidentally obtained a few days ago, you can take a look, if it is not worth it, throw it away. ”

Li Wenbo put on a pair of glasses, and after carefully appreciating them, he smiled and said, "Ao Tang, why do you say it's not valuable?" Haven't you read it yourself? ”

"Oh?" Ao Tang really didn't look at it carefully, because he didn't have much interest in the Buddha statue, and now he was said by Li Wenbo, turned his head, and suddenly saw the inscription next to the base, and after reading it, he suddenly said, "It turns out that it is still a cultural relic." ”
