Chapter 309: Lot (Dafeng+)
Auctions, of course, sell not only the original things of the antique house, but also the auction of things for private customers, and the antique house only charges a part of the commission.
And the amount of commission charged is often fixed. There are also some special lots, which will reconsider the amount of commission according to the specific value of the lot.
In order to achieve a certain level of auction, not every lot provided by the customer will be accepted by the antique dealer, but will be appraised by the antique dealer to ensure that the lot meets the requirements of the auction.
Only lots that meet the requirements will be accepted by the antique dealer.
This is also the reason why the antique guild sends people to meet with the customers who offer the lots one by one.
Yan Shuiran didn't know what she could do in the antique shop for a while, but after thinking about it, she still agreed to Xi Hong's proposal.
Xi Hong led Yan Shuiran to the living room.
She herself was one of the key leaders of the clients who met with the clients who offered the lots.
Yan Shuiran put on the uniform of an antique dealer, like an intern, and followed behind Xi Hong honestly.
After one morning, Yan Shuiran and Xi Hong met a total of five groups of guests.
These five groups of customers all came to the antique shop with so-called "family heirlooms" and wanted to seek auction opportunities.
Last year, the auction of Yingrui Antiques was held very successfully, which caused a lot of sensation in Rongcheng and left a great impression in the hearts of the people of Rongcheng. So this time, Yingrui Antiques released a word that it planned to hold a second auction. Immediately, many people were moved, and they took the initiative to send things to the door.
The experts do not meet with the customer, they are only responsible for the identification. The person in charge will then be informed of the appraisal results, and the person in charge will decide whether to accept the lot or not.
Even if the thing sent by the customer is a fake, the antique dealer will not say it directly, but will only politely refuse.
The five so-called antiques that Yan Shuiran saw in the morning were all fakes after being identified by the experts of Yingrui Antiques. And it is also a contemporary handicraft, at most it sells for a few dozen yuan, and it is not a real antique at all.
If this is handled by ordinary employees. I'm afraid I'll get impatient. However, Xi Hongque was very patient, always treated every customer politely, and answered their difficult questions one by one, and finally sent them out of the antique store helplessly and satisfied.
Yan Shuiran watched in amazement from the sidelines.
No wonder Xi Hong can be a woman. Become a senior executive at Elite Antiques. Just with her delicate mind. It is also worthy of such a position as it is now.
During the lunch meal, Xi Hong saw that Yan Shuiran didn't have any excited look, and persuaded her: "Actually, most of the things that have been sent to the antique store recently are like this morning, they are of little value, and there are many fakes. However, after ruling out the possibility of fraud, the people who send things to the antique store are people who want to make a lot of money or even turn over. This kind of person's mentality is more impatient, and one is not handled properly. It's easy to make the other party angry and make a lot of noise in the antique shop. So when talking to these customers. You have to be careful not to let the situation get out of hand. ”
Yan Shuiran smiled and said, "Sister Xi, I understand all this, don't worry." I also feel like meeting with you and those clients this morning taught me a lot. It's just that maybe I'm more emotionally restrained, so I show less of it. By the way, in the afternoon, can I still go with Sister Xi to meet these customers? Even though everything I saw in the morning was fake, even if it was just a fake, I thought it was very interesting. ”
That's right, for Yan Shuiran, fakes are even more interesting than real antiques.
Those fake techniques, some of which are very exquisite, some of which are very rough, are completely new to Yan Shuiran.
Of course, she still didn't have much interest in antiques or anything. It's just that these fake antiques, in Yan Shuiran's eyes, are like magic weapons full of yin energy.
That is, the evil weapon in the ritual weapon.
The two seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are just trying to fill up the numbers in the orthodox thing.
Xi Hong didn't expect Yan Shuiran to be interested in such a boring job, so she was immediately stunned and nodded, "Of course you can." ”
After meeting two or three more guests in the afternoon, and after eliminating a few fakes, Yan Shuiran finally saw a genuine one.
Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty.
Xuande furnace, known as a peerless treasure in the past 600 years, is a collection that collectors of all generations have dreamed of.
It is said that the production of Xuande furnace is made of refined copper 12 times, and precious metals such as gold and silver are added, and it takes several years of practice to be able to cast successfully.
Moreover, the Xuande furnace is also the first copper ware made of brass in the history of our country.
With the change of dynasties and the change of times, over the past few hundred years, the Xuande furnace has experienced too many catastrophes, so that the genuine Xuande furnace that has been handed down to this day is very rare and rare.
Nowadays, most people have only heard of the reputation of the Xuande furnace, but have not seen the appearance of the Xuande furnace.
When the Xuande furnace in front of him had just been taken out, Yan Shuiran's heart moved, and he immediately felt that this thing was very likely to be genuine!
She still doesn't know how to authenticate antiques, but she just has a hunch.
Moreover, the faces of the guests who came with the Xuande furnace were completely different from those who wanted to make a windfall before.
This customer, surnamed Cai, has a mediocre face, and there are no ups and downs, and it looks like a face of an ordinary life. However, this person's face is red and bright, obviously with good luck and good fortune.
It's just that what makes Yan Shuiran more strange is that there are obviously other strange things about this person's face, but no matter how she looks at it, she can't see it.
She couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in her heart.
If there is someone whose face she can't see, unless that person is her physiognomy teacher, and the Tao is extremely high. Either that, it was the things that the person's face represented were related to herself, so Yan Shuiran couldn't touch the traces.
The man surnamed Cai in front of him is obviously not a clever physiognomy master. Then, only one last possibility remains.
This man surnamed Cai has something to do with Yan Shuiran in some things!
But Yan Shuiran couldn't see at all that he had anything to do with this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man.
When Yan Shuiran was thinking about it, the identification results of the experts had come out, and the Daming Xuande furnace sent this time was genuine.
Genuine Xuande furnace, that's a treasure worth tens of millions!
If there is no accident, this Xuande furnace will become the finale of this auction of Yingrui Antiques.
The appearance of the genuine Xuande furnace even alarmed Yan Caiying. (To be continued......)
