Chapter Twenty-Four: The Residence of the Tiger Roaring Mountain
Chen Ziang and Kong Ye were both woken up, and when they saw Jin Rui's sluggish appearance, they thought of an advertising slogan at the same time, and felt that their bodies were hollowed out....
"What's the matter, I kindly gave you the female netizen and you still beat me?" Wu Lei's face was dazed, pretending to be a melon-eating crowd who didn't know the truth.
"Look at your female netizen,!" Jin Rui took out his mobile phone and pulled out a picture that was obviously taken secretly, the woman in the photo was bloated and dull, even if she couldn't cover the pimples on her cheeks even if she applied a layer of foundation, and there was a huge matchmaker mole on her nose.
"Can you do this?" Kong Ye asked with a frown.
Jin Rui was silent in thought, looking at the sky outside the window, his head was at a 45-degree angle, and a tear quietly fell: "After I met her, I wanted to have a meal and leave, but she dragged me to accompany her shopping, I can go shopping if I want, anyway, hang on me, can you still force me?" Walking around and she led me to an alley next to a hotel, I was already a little alert, and she just smiled and asked me a question."
"What's the problem?" The three of them asked curiously.
"She asked me if I had a girlfriend, I wanted to lie to her and said yes, but she said no, and then she smiled and said that from today onwards, you have it, and then she knocked me out with a brick, and then then"
"And then you're really dragged to the hotel and XXOO?" Wu Lei said incredulously.
Jin Rui stopped talking, but tears answered for him that this was the case.
"It's risky to make an appointment," everyone couldn't help but sigh.
A week passed quickly, Chen Ziang finally waited for the weekend, he took out a few antiques from the third space in advance and planned to sell them, a total of three things, a blue and white porcelain bowl and two paintings, one is Tang Bohu's painting of "Tiger Roaring Mountain Residence" and the other is Chen Ziang's own painting of "Night Fishing Boat", but unfortunately after the task is completed, the painting skills and writing have been taken back by the system, leaving only Xiao Li Feidao.
"You were the guest last time? What are you going to sell this time?" the fat man saw Chen Ziang and immediately greeted him and asked.
"I'm looking for Wen Lao, is he here with you?" Wen Lao's business card has a phone number on it, but Chen Ziang doesn't want to trouble him the first time he calls, so it's better to come directly to the store to find it.
"Coincidentally, Mr. Wen happened to be drinking tea in my shop, I'll call it for you" The fat boss called Mr. Wen out, and there was an old man who was about the same age as him next to Mr. Wen, and the two talked and laughed all the way.
"Lao Fang, this is the little friend who sold me a bronze amphora, Xiao Chen hasn't seen me for a long time" Wen Lao said to Lao Fang as if showing off, Lao Fang is his friend for many years, and he is also the chief appraiser of the Y City Auction Heyday Chamber of Commerce.
"Mr. Wen is like this, I still have a few old pieces in my hand that I want to sell, can you help me see how much it is worth?"
"Hmph, today's young people have a lot of tone, and they talk about money without knowing whether things are real or fake," Lao Wen said coldly.
"Oh, then please ask Wen Lao to help me see the authenticity of the two paintings in my hand first" The things were brought back by myself from the Ming Dynasty, can there be a mistake? But Chen Ziang still said respectfully.
"Lao Fang is here, I don't dare to play a big knife in front of Guan Gong, you better ask him," Wen Lao said with a smile.
Chen Ziang nodded and took out two rolled paintings from the black plastic bag, fortunately, the wooden table was big enough to be placed on it and unfolded one by one.
"Tang Yin? Young people, don't joke about it, "The first impression in the old man's mind is that this is fake, because Tang Bohu's painting skills are superb and his fame, his paintings are basically more than one million or more, and there are even a few large-scale paintings that have been photographed for more than 10 million, so the folk fake Tang Bohu's paintings are like carp crossing the river."
But he looked at it a few more times, his expression became cautious, and then he took out a magnifying glass and pasted it on the painting and looked at it for a few minutes, without saying a word, Chen Ziang and the others stood quietly and waited for him to finish reading.
"Both paintings are real!" Fang Lao said in a low voice, everyone was very shocked in their hearts, there are not many of Tang Yin's true works left in the world now, let alone such a big one.
"It's just that there is no signature on this painting, and I don't know which one made it, but looking at the material and ink of the paper, there is no doubt that it is from the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing that his painting was commented on by professionals, Chen Ziang was secretly happy in his heart, and he did not leave his name, which was deliberately done by him, just to see how much his painting created by using third-level painting skills in the Ming Dynasty could sell for in modern times.
"You really want to sell two paintings?"
"Yes"
"There's a large-scale auction in Y City next month, so you might as well put these two paintings up for auction, and you'll definitely get a good price," Fang Lao said.
"Isn't it true that the things to be sold at an auction of that level have been set internally a long time ago?" If two paintings want to sell for a higher price, of course, it is better to auction them, but Chen Ziang had learned in advance that the kind of auction is not for everyone's things to sell, most of them are antiques from the people in the auction house, and it is impossible for private individuals to help them with the auction without knowing the leaders inside.
"Hahaha, I forgot to introduce to you, Lao Fang is the appraiser of the Dingsheng Chamber of Commerce in Y City, if I remember correctly, the auction next month will be contracted by your Chamber of Commerce, right?" Wen Lao asked with a smile.
"That's right," Elder Fang nodded in response.
"Elder Fang, see if these two things of mine can enter your eyes, next week's auction..."Chen Ziang was a little unsure if Elder Fang would agree, after all, he was not related to him.
"Of course, these two paintings are of sufficient level, to tell you the truth, I am worried that there will not be a finale baby in next month's auction, just let me run into your two paintings, it's really good luck!" Old Fang stroked his beard, in a good mood.
"Oops, how did I forget it" Chen Ziang took out a bowl from the third space when he remembered it, opened the plastic bag and saw that it was still inside.
"This...."Fang Lao grabbed his hand and carefully observed it, and exclaimed, "I haven't seen a blue and white porcelain bowl of the Ming Dynasty in such good condition for a long time, or the official kiln" The condition refers to the integrity of the collection, and the official kiln refers to the porcelain fired for the palace, which is used by the emperor!
"Wow, this bowl is actually real, I used him to eat a few days ago"
“......”
Chen Ziang's expression looked strange if he was too calm, so he made a very exaggerated expression, which made everyone speechless for a while.
"I'll leave that thing here, okay?" Elder Fang asked.
"It's okay, you're a friend of Wen Lao, I'm relieved!"
Wen Lao nodded, and he was a little moved in his heart, he had just made a deal with Chen Ziang, and he was so trusted.
"Big brother, don't look for me next time, contact Wen Lao and Fang Lao directly," the fat boss of the antique store grabbed Chen Ziang and said.
"What's wrong?"
"I found out that you just use me as a transit station, I can't see it when I ship twice, I'm the owner of this antique store! Blue lean shiitake mushroom"
Chen Ziang promised that next time he had something to sell, he would definitely give him one, after all, it was through his introduction that he met Wen Lao and Fang Lao, and the fat boss was satisfied.
