Of course, Zhou Ping had secretly decided in his heart that in the next reincarnation, or even at the party in the future, he would not bring Xu Yue with him, so as not to show his alcohol consumption in front of these guys.

From a certain point of view, it can be said that Zhou Ping is selfish.

However, he really didn't worry about Xu Yue's profession of drinking, even if she was born with a strong hangover function.

Anyway, it's also my own woman, can I go to accompany the wine in order to make money? It's almost the same to change to another normal job!

After breakfast, Zhou Ping asked the Xueyue duo to go back to Chinatown first, and he followed Marie to fulfill his promise.

Mary's house is also in Beverly Hills, but not in the middle of the mountain, but south of Beverly Hills.

Although the location is not as good as Feng Zhiwei's house, Marie's family is much larger than Feng Zhiwei's house.

The spacious yard is a little messy with uneven flowers and weeds, but it is certain that once it is well cared for, it will be a very beautiful sight.

"Since my father's death, I have dismissed my family staff and most of the time I live in an apartment next to the hospital and rarely come back. ”

As if seeing the regret in Zhou Ping's eyes, Marie explained with a bitter smile.

Zhou Ping was quite speechless.

What a waste, such a good house is so empty!

However, after Marie's reminder, Zhou Ping remembered that the house he bought in Las Vegas had not been renovated yet, and he didn't know when he would be able to move in.

Time restarted and indeed turned Zhou Ping's life upside down.

However, there are also inconvenient times.

For example, Zhou Ping has a goal to complete, so he must do it every reincarnation.

To decorate a house, you must think about decorating the house every reincarnation.

Otherwise, the first few reincarnations are all installed, if you don't think of it once, and the timeline is pushed forward, then the previous efforts will be in vain.

Mary opened the door with ease, turned on the light and said, "Zhou, you wait, it just so happens that I came over today, I'll turn on all the electrical appliances in the house." ”

"It's okay, you are busy first, don't be in a hurry!"

After that, Zhou Ping followed behind Marie and had a good understanding of the overall layout of this kind of large mansion, which can be regarded as preparing for moving into this level of mansion in the future.

For Zhou Ping, it is inevitable to have the ability to restart time, to succeed, and to reach the peak of life, it is just a matter of time.

Located in a huge room in the basement of the villa, Zhou Ping finally saw the real thing in the album.

"This "Wild Bamboo Map" is one of the treasures of Wu Zhen, one of the four families of the Yuan Dynasty, it is well preserved, the quality is excellent, look at the painting style and the payment, the genuine product is undoubtedly ......"

Zhou Ping spread out an ancient painting of the Yuan Dynasty and talked eloquently to Marie on the side.

Obviously, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep up with Zhou Ping's rhythm because she didn't understand these things, so Marie deliberately turned on the camera prepared in advance, preparing to record Zhou Ping's comments word for word.

Zhou Ping didn't care about this.

Because he can also see that there is a specialization in the art industry, although Marie is a doctor with excellent medical skills, but she really doesn't know much about antiques, and I'm afraid she can't remember too much.

This saves a lot of trouble.

Compared with Ni Zhan, Yang Weizhen and others, Wu Zhen's pursuit of art is more pure. Most of his works are based on landscapes, bamboos and stones, with good wild bamboos and wind bamboos. ”

In terms of technique, he not only inherited the method of painting bamboo from Wen Tong and Li Yin, but also made a creative breakthrough. ”

Zheng Banqiao, who is also a master of painting bamboo, also praised and said: The method of painting bamboo is not expensive and rigid into a game, but it must be deeply focused on knowing people, so Mei Dao people can be super superior!"

"There are very few surviving drawings of his bamboo and stone, only a few dozen. Especially such a boutique is even more rare. ”

Listening to Zhou Ping's eloquent talk, Marie seemed to be more concerned about the price of this wild bamboo picture: "Zhou, what do you think it is worth?"

As she spoke, she took out her pen and prepared to record Zhou Ping's estimate.

"Referring to the recent appearance of a bamboo and stone picture on the Huaxia Guardian Autumn Auction, the quality is not as good as this, and the size is also one-third smaller, and the price of the hammer at that time is 1.5 million US dollars!" Zhou Ping, who had done his homework, replied confidently.

Marie was pleasantly surprised: "In other words, the starting price of my piece can reach this number?"

Zhou Ping nodded: "Almost! But this is a rare treasure of landscape painting in the Yuan Dynasty, but it is hard to find, try not to sell it!"

Marie just smiled, and then wrote a number directly on it: one and a half million.

Next is a slightly smaller silk painting of the Southern Song Dynasty, the famous court painter Xia Guiqing's "Mountain Stream Twilight Snow Picture" in his prime.

After Zhou Ping's explanation, he directly took the price of Poly's spring auction a year ago as a reference, and estimated it at 1 million US dollars.

"This large pot of blue and white flowers and birds was similar at an auction held in Tokyo last year, and the final price was equivalent to US$5.3 million. ”

"Of course, your piece is higher in terms of condition and integrity, and the reference price is also much higher, so there should be no problem with six million US dollars. ”

After speaking, Zhou Ping carefully put this exquisite piece of Yuan blue and white back on the shelf.

It's really more than the goods have to be thrown, people are more tearful than people, the things in this are simply priceless, for ordinary people, a lifetime, no, a few lifetimes may not be able to afford one of them.

"Marie, I suggest you should think about it again, several of the items in your collection here are very rare, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare treasures. If it is properly preserved, there is still a lot of room for appreciation in the future. ”

After identifying the last item, Zhou Ping also breathed a sigh of relief.

Collecting this business is indeed a great test of eyesight, and it can be described as hard work, and it is not easy at all.

"Zhou, thank you very much for your advice, but returning to the roots is my father's greatest wish during his lifetime. I believe that the fallen leaves in his perception do not refer to him personally. ”

Marie couldn't help but glance at the big pot of flowers and birds.

She wasn't very interested in antiques before, and she really didn't expect her father to leave such a huge fortune to herself.

According to Zhou Ping's appraisal, there are hundreds of large and small collections, including 27 copies of famous artists and 52 imitations of future generations.

Everything else is genuine, and all of them are boutiques.

Moreover, even imitations have some value.

Because they are all very old, and they are extremely beautiful, and they can be confused with the real.

These collections all add up, and the reference price given by Zhou Ping adds up to more than 100 million US dollars!

This is already a very conservative estimate.

Tsk, collecting is really a money-burning business.

If the hype is carried out according to the routine of making Chinese collectors compete for bids, it is possible to double the price or even more.

Seeing these collections, Marie seemed to see his father holding an antique in his hands every time he got his hands and couldn't put it down.

However, soon her eyes changed to resoluteness, as if she had made up her mind to sell these rare treasures.
