Chapter 304: Ao City
In the nearly half a month after the opening of Yunfei Jewelry Company, Tang Yun's life began to return to a calm daily life.
Wake up on time every morning to eat, exercise and read, spend the afternoon commuting between the two companies, and spend the evening in the villa watching TV and chatting with the family.
One day in early August, Zhou Rendao, under the leadership of Tang Yun, once again visited the antique area in the basement of Tang Yun's villa.
As an antique appraisal expert, Zhou Rendao is very interested in all antiques and cultural toys, although the number of antiques here in Tang Yun is not much, but they are all genuine.
Since moving to Makino Homeland and living with Tang Huashi, Zhou Rendao has been drinking tea and chatting with his friend Tang Huashi every day, and his biggest interest is to make antiques.
In addition to the antiques he brought from home, the rest belonged to the basement of Tang Yun and Liu Tianxiong's villa.
However, although he and Liu Tianxiong are also familiar with each other, they are not as close as Tang Yun after all.
And Liu Tianxiong has been busy in Tianyun Auction Co., Ltd. for almost half a month.
Unlike Tang Yun, except for taking time to go to the company every day, the rest of the time stays in the villa.
Coupled with the relationship between Tang Yun and his granddaughter Zhou Jiajia, now the Tang family and the Zhou family are almost in-laws by default.
Therefore, as long as Zhou Rendao is free, he will visit the basement where Tang Yun's villa is located almost every day or two.
......
At this time, Zhou Rendao was playing with a porcelain cup in the antique area in his hand, and said with emotion.
"Xiao Tang, you really have a lot of good things here, and I don't know where you got so many good things......
Every time he comes to Tang Yun's antique area, Zhou Rendao has feelings.
Although the number of antiques in the antique area here in Tangyun is not large, the authenticity rate is very high, and many of them are quite historical and valuable.
The most eye-catching is Fan Kuan's "Journey to the Mountains and Streams", and the others include a bronze mirror from the Tang Dynasty, a bronze gilt Guanyin Buddha statue of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, and a pair of colorful dragon ear bottles from the Ming Dynasty.
The value of these antiques is in the millions, or even tens of millions.
The most important thing is that most of these antiques of Tang Yun are the first time even Zhou Rendao himself has seen them.
Hearing Zhou Rendao's emotional voice, Tang Yun couldn't help scratching his head and laughing: "I'm also lucky, most of the things here are actually picked up by me from the black market and ghost market.
For example, this bronze mirror was encountered by Uncle Liu and I on the black market.
At that time, I just thought that this mirror was a little special, so I bought it without much thought, and I didn't expect this mirror to be a genuine product from the Tang Dynasty......"
Tang Yun was rummaging around with the bronze mirror in his hand, and when he first got this bronze mirror, the body of the bronze mirror was still wrapped in a thick layer of rust.
However, now the rust on the mirror body has been removed by him, revealing its original true face.
In addition, the bronze gilt Guanyin Buddha statue of Ming Yongle is the same, and the outer layer of the Guanyin Buddha statue is also wrapped with a thick layer of pulp, and it took Tang Yun a lot of time to remove these pulp.
Fortunately, everything is worth it, and the two antiques that have been removed from the outer layer of excess impurities have finally revealed their charming faces.
When he heard Tang Yun talk about the black market and the ghost market, Zhou Rendao didn't react much, although these things were a little rubble, but since they existed, they naturally had their reasons.
Moreover, he himself has participated in such antique markets several times, and I have to say that there are indeed a lot of good things on the black market and ghost markets.
Of course, there are many imitations, and if you want to find good things, you still have to look at your eyesight.
After playing with the porcelain cup in his hand, Zhou Rendao suddenly thought of something, and then looked at Tang Yundao: "By the way, Xiao Tang, do you still have twelve sets of Flower God Cups now?"
"Not really. Tang Yun scratched his head and said, "The main thing is that I don't know where to sell these cups......"
Since the end of the public market, he has been busy with the opening of the two companies, although the number of antiques has not increased in recent days, but it does not mean that he has lost interest in antiques.
Now listening to what Zhou Lao said, Tang Yun couldn't help but think, should he go around where he should go, and come back with a few antiques by the way?
It just so happens that Yunfei Jewelry and Tianyun Auction Company have officially opened, and both companies have officially entered the orbit, and they seem to have more time to spare recently......
"Xiao Tang, if you're interested, I happen to have a few invitations to the antique auction here. ”
Zhou Rendao took out a few invitations from his jacket pocket and handed them to Tang Yundao: "These were sent to me by someone a few days ago, but the distance is a little far, so I thought about it and didn't plan to go over."
If you're interested, you can go over with a few of your friends.
I've heard that there are a few Flower God Cups at the auction they held this time, but it's not very clear if it's a complete set......
Tang Yun took the invitation with both hands and counted about ten.
Looking at the information on the invitation letter, Aoshi CITIC International Auction Co., Ltd., 2010 summer antiques, art auction......
Australian market?
Tang Yun was slightly stunned, no wonder Zhou Lao didn't plan to participate, although the Australian market is also in the south of China, but the geographical location of the Australian market is more southern than that of South China Province.
If you take a plane, it is estimated that it will take 15 hours to arrive, which is indeed a bit unbearable for the elderly Zhou Lao......
Since the establishment of Tianyun Auction Co., Ltd., Tang Yun has also had a little understanding of the major domestic counterparts.
Aoshi CITIC International Auction Co., Ltd. was established about seven or eight years ago, and the real attraction was in 04.
Tang Yun remembers that in June 04, Australian CITIC International Auction Co., Ltd. held the first large-scale art auction in the history of Australia.
When it comes to the Australian market, the first thing that comes to mind is the gambling tourism industry in the Australian market.
Aoshi is an international free port, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and one of the world's four famous gambling cities.
I remember that the first auction of CITIC in Australia immediately attracted the attention of citizens on both sides of the strait, and at the same time filled the gap in the art auction in Australia, becoming another economic and trade highlight in Australia in addition to gaming and tourism.
"Recently, I happened to be free, maybe I went to the Australian market for a walk, it seems to be good......"
Thinking like this, Tang Yun finally accepted these invitations and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Rendao at the same time.
