At one o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Zheng Jing received a call from Du Wei, the head of Christie's Capital Branch.

"Hello Mr. Zheng, we are now outside the community."

"You guys wait outside for a while, and I'll go out."

Hanging up the phone, Zheng Jing looked at the half-edited video on the computer, and left the entertainment room with his mobile phone.

Coming out of the basement, Zheng Jing drove the shuttle bus towards the entrance of the community.

"You're from Christie's, aren't you?"

When he came to the outside of the community, Zheng Jing saw an old man and a young man, a man and a woman standing next to the guard room at a glance.

The woman was very beautiful, with an oval face, a pair of eyes on her face, and a black briefcase in her hand.

If she guessed correctly, she should be Du Wei.

Next to her, there stood an old man in a tunic suit, judging from the gray hair of the old man, he should be over sixty years old.

Hearing the voice, Du Wei and Sun Hongwen turned their heads and looked at Zheng Jing in unison.

Seeing Zheng Jing's appearance, a trace of surprise appeared in Du Wei's eyes.

"Are you Mr. Zheng?" Du Wei asked in disbelief.

"It's me, two Christie's, right? If I'm not mistaken, you just called me. ”

Zheng Jing looked at Du Wei and said.

Du Wei nodded.

"I don't know who this old gentleman is?"

Knowing Du Wei's identity, Zheng Jing looked at the old man on the side.

Du Wei introduced Zheng Jing: "This is the appraiser of our capital branch, Mr. Sun Hongwen."

"Hello, Mr. Sun."

"Hello Mr. Zheng."

After getting acquainted, Zheng Jing said, "Come up, two of you, I'll take you in."

Zheng Jing patted the car and said.

On the way home, Du Wei was a little surprised when she looked at the planning of the community and the style of the house.

"Mr. Zheng, are the houses in this community all garden-style?" Du Wei looked at the surrounding houses and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, the houses in this community are all garden-style buildings with yards." Zheng Jing said as he drove the car.

"How much would it cost to buy a house here?" Du Wei felt that the price of the house here should be beyond his imagination.

"It depends on the size of the yard and the size of the house. As far as I know, the cheapest house in the neighborhood is a little over 100 million, and the most expensive house is 250 million. ”

Hearing this price, Du Wei felt her scalp tingle, and she didn't even dare to think about this price.

Sun Hongwen was also surprised when he heard this price.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Jing was so young that he already lived in such a community.

"Come in, two of you."

When they came to the courtyard, Zheng Jing took them to the living room and sat down.

After sitting down, Zheng Jing asked the two to wait for a while, and soon walked out of the room with a box.

Under the gaze of the two, Zheng Jing put the box on the table and opened it.

"This is the item I want to auction, you two can take a look, and we'll talk about it after reading."

Du Wei looked at the three items in the box and said to Sun Hongwen, "Master Sun, I'm sorry for your trouble."

"What's the trouble with this, that's my job."

Sun Hongwen picked up the statue of the knight of Basta and said for a long time: "The thing is good, it is a rare Indian-style statue, I don't know where Mr. Zheng found it?"

"Nepal." Zheng Jing did not say that it was found in Australia.

"It's no wonder that Nepal is heavily influenced by India, and it's not surprising that there are these things." Sun Hongwen looked at the statue and said.

"This statue is good, it should be very popular."

Sun Hongwen put down the statue, picked up the agate seal, looked at the picture on the seal, and said with some uncertainty: "This should be a seal, judging from the material, this is an agate stone and a silver grip."

"It's just that I can't understand the pictures and words engraved on the agate."

Du Wei heard that Master Sun couldn't understand this item, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this item?"

Sun Hongwen shook his head and said to her: "It's okay, it's a very old object, but I can't understand the picture on this seal and the text in the middle."

"It's okay, as long as the things are okay, we'll be looking for someone to ask when we go." Du Wei said.

"Yes, there is no problem with the item, although the material is made of agate, but there are not many seals of this type in the world, and there is no shortage of markets." Although I can't read the pictures and text above, I can still see the authenticity and price of the item.

Hearing Sun Hongwen say this, Du Wei was relieved.

"Does Mr. Zheng know what the pictures and words on this mean?"

Sun Hongwen saw Zheng Jing on the opposite side and asked.

Zheng Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"Then it seems that you can only ask a professional person."

Sun Hongwen put down the seal as he spoke, and picked up the conch-shaped powder vial—mother-of-pearl.

Du Wei looked at the conch in Sun Hongwen's hand with a surprised expression on her face.

She glanced at Zheng Jing curiously, not knowing the strange item he had found there.

"Master Sun, what is this?"

Sun Hongwen, who was watching in a daze, heard Du Wei's words, opened the lid on the top of the conch, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, this is an ancient gunpowder bottle, it is very rare, it is the first time I have seen this kind of thing."

"I was curious about what this thing was, but I didn't think it was a powder bottle. I really admire Mr. Zheng's vision, and I can actually see the extraordinaryness of this thing. ”

"I don't have any vision, it's just luck. I didn't know what it was, so I took it out and tried my luck and saw if it was valuable. Zheng Jing said with a smile.

"Of course there is value, this thing is rare in the world, and it is very collectible."

Sun Hongwen looked at the gunpowder bottle in his hand and liked it very much.

I didn't expect to come across such an item on this business trip, which made Sun Hongwen feel worthwhile.

Reluctantly put down the gunpowder bottle and said to Du Wei: "Mr. Du, the three things have reached the auction level, and these three items are all good, and I am very moved to see them."

"I don't know if Mr. Zheng has anything else in his hand, can you take it out and take a look?"

"There's nothing left, I only have these three things in my hands right now."

Hearing Zheng Jing's words, Sun Hongwen was not disappointed, but took out a business card from his pocket and said, "Mr. Zheng, this is my business card, if you have something to sell in the future, you can find me."

Small kiosk

Du Wei on the side heard this and said with a smile: "Master Sun, you are here again."

Taking the business card with both hands, and hearing Du Wei's words, Zheng Jing knew that this was not the first time that this Master Sun had done this kind of thing.

Sun Hongwen said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng is a traveler, he runs all over the world, and he can come across a lot of good things, if I am not an appraiser at Christie's now, I would have bought these three items a long time ago."

"Well, I'll tell you when the time comes."

"Well, when the time comes, don't forget about me, an old man."

"Since there is no problem with the things, then we can discuss the starting price, I don't know what price Mr. Zheng will set for these three items?" Du Wei opened the briefcase, took out the contract and said.

Although he knew the lowest price, Zheng Jing couldn't say it, so when he heard this, he looked at Sun Hongwen, who was drinking tea.

"I don't know much about this price, so let's let Mr. Sun say it."

Sun Hongwen felt Zheng Jing's gaze, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said: "Let's talk about the statue of the knight of Basta first, this is an Indian-style statue, there should not be many people who like it, but as long as there are people who like it, the price will not be low." How about a starting price of 1 million RMB? ”

Hearing this price, Zheng Jing nodded, although the starting price is 200,000 less than the lowest price, but there is a price buffer for buyers, as long as someone bids, then the price of this statue breaks through the lowest price given by the system is a matter of minutes.

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "This price is okay."

Hearing that Zheng Jing agreed to this starting price, Du Wei and Sun Hongwen were both relieved.

The first auction item is done, and there are two more to follow.

"Then the starting price of this agate seal is set at 150,000, and the starting price of this last thing, the gunpowder bottle, is set at 500,000, I don't know what Mr. Zheng thinks?"

Under Du Wei's expectations, Zheng Jing said: "This price is okay, if there is no problem, we can sign the contract."

"This is the contract, Mr. Zheng can take a look at it." Hearing Zheng Jing's words, Du Wei hurriedly took the contract out of her briefcase.

Zheng Jing opened the entrustment contract and looked at it carefully.

After reading the contract, Zheng Jing pointed to the name of the auction item and asked, "Why is there no name written here?"

"Mr. Zheng, what you have in your hand is not a formal contract yet, we will reprint a formal contract later, and we will add three items when the time comes." Du Wei explained.

I see.

Soon, a formal contract was faxed back.

Holding the faxed contract, Du Wei handed the contract to Zheng Jing and asked him to read it.

After reading the contract, Zheng Jing found that there was no problem with the terms of the contract.

Therefore, he happily signed the contract.

After the two parties signed, Du Wei said happily: "The contract is in duplicate, thank you Mr. Zheng for choosing Christie's."

This is an invitation to attend the auction in Singapore on January 15th. ”

After receiving the invitation, Zheng Jing opened it and looked at it, and said, "No problem, I will go over when the time comes."

"In that case, we won't bother you anymore, so we'll take our leave."

After the matter was done, Du Wei stood up and said.

"Leave so early, why don't you leave tomorrow, let me do my landlord's friendship."

Du Wei said with a smile: "If it weren't for the company's affairs, we would definitely stay here for one more night, but unfortunately, because of the matter of the fifteenth auction, the company has a lot of things, so we can only do it next time."

"Okay, I hope we have a good cooperation this time, and next time I sell something, I'll show you first."

Du Wei understood the meaning of Zheng Jing's words, if this cooperation is unpleasant, then there will be no next time.

"We'll take the things with us, Mr. Zheng, we'll see you on the fifteenth."

sent the two to the gate of the community, and politely took a while before getting in the car and leaving.

Seeing the two driving away, Zheng Jing also drove back to his home in a ferry.
