Chapter 8 Curiosity (New Books for Collection, Tickets for Tickets~)

Zhang Hao looked in the direction pointed by Bai Zhou, and saw that the small exhibition area set up by the auction house for "Thousand Character Text" was crowded with exhibitors who came to observe the calligraphy.

Zhang Hao was about to walk into the development area when he heard several men who left the development area talking while walking:

"It is worthy of Song Huizong's calligraphy, and the starting price alone is as high as 75 million, which is really unattainable!"

"I'm so satisfied to see this with my own eyes! You don't want to think about it, the net worth of several of us combined, we can't make up a starting price! ”

"It's a pity that this pair of calligraphy was added to the auction too late, and some powerful buyers may not be able to catch up with the auction, and the transaction price may be affected."

"What the are you doing here? The big guy who can take out this level of calligraphy for auction, will he care about these three melons and two dates? ”

"By the way, could this calligraphy be a fake? I've heard that auction houses don't have real deals, so if someone pays a sky-high price to get a fake, wouldn't it be a big loss? ”

"Haha, you're worrying about it! As long as you can prove that you bought a fake, the auction house will definitely refund the money to you, and if they don't, you can go directly to court and sue them.

Moreover, this calligraphy is used by the auction house to fill the vacancy of Qi Baishi's paintings, if this is a fake, how can Su Xu Auction House mix in the industry in the future? ”

Zhang Hao noticed that Bai Zhou, who was following him, suddenly showed a trace of indignation on his face when he heard the word "fake", and then turned his head sideways and quietly glared at the man who questioned the authenticity of the copy.

Zhang Hao instantly remembered that it was Bai Zhou and Jiang Lei who signed this notebook.

Then, questioning the authenticity of the copybook is undoubtedly questioning her business level.

At this time, Bai Zhou also happened to meet Zhang Hao's eyes.

She immediately reacted, and her small movements were discovered by the other party.

She stroked her hair and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, for making you laugh." ”

"No, I totally understand." Zhang Hao said in a low voice, "If someone questions me in my professional field, I'm afraid I won't be happy." ”

"Yes, I was a little upset just now." Bai Zhou smiled a little shyly and said with a small dimple on his face, "Moreover, Mr. Jiang is a senior I respect very much in the industry, so I can't help but be a little angry when I see someone questioning his work." ”

Zhang Hao nodded in understanding.

Bai Zhou continued: "Actually, I graduated from the Department of History of NTU last year, and when I came to the company for an interview, Mr. Jiang was the interviewer at that time. ”

Hearing Bai Zhou's words, Zhang Hao, who is also a history major, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After graduating from the top university in Jinling, the other party got a job as an appraiser, but after graduating from his bachelor's degree, he couldn't even find a job with a professional counterpart...

So, he said from the bottom of his heart: "Awesome, Bai Zhou! To tell you the truth, I also majored in history in college, but unfortunately I only barely got my diploma. ”

Bai Zhou said modestly: "No, no, Mr. Zhang, you are much better than me." ”

"I'm just a lucky one." Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's go to the front and have a look." ”

Bai Zhou responded: "Okay, Mr. Zhang." ”

She followed Zhang Hao to the progress area, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Zhang Hao's back curiously.

Although he has not been in the industry for a long time, Bai Zhou, as a member of the auction house, has already met several billionaires with a net worth of more than 100 million.

Among the rich people she saw, Zhang Hao was undoubtedly the youngest and the most low-key among them.

Moreover, he is also the most friendly one among the several people to Bai Zhou's staff.

Bai Zhou was very curious about what kind of growth environment could cultivate a gentle and humble invisible rich man like Zhang Hao.

Before they knew it, the two of them had walked to the display case where the calligraphy was displayed.

Many exhibitors gathered in front of the display case, carefully admiring the calligraphy.

The staff of Su Xu Auction Company are gathered around the display case, always paying attention to the wind and grass beside them.

Zhang Hao was looking at the few people standing in front of the notebook, and suddenly heard Bai Zhou whisper in his ear:

"Mr. Zhang, the two gentlemen standing in front of the calligraphy are both very powerful buyers of antique calligraphy and paintings, and they should be here for your lot!"

Zhang Hao nodded, and was about to reply, when he suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd behind him.

He turned around and saw an old man walking with a few young men walking in the direction of the calligraphy.

From time to time, someone in the crowd greeted the old man, and the old man, known as "Professor Chen", also responded with a smile.

When Zhang Hao and the other party's eyes met, he was surprised to find that Professor Chen threw a kind smile at his side.

He felt something, and looked sideways at Bai Zhou, only to see that the latter also smiled and waved his hand to Professor Chen.

When Professor Chen and his entourage walked to the calligraphy, Zhang Hao asked curiously, "Do you know each other?" ”

"Well, he's my grandfather." Bai Zhou smiled and nodded, "My grandfather is a professor in the Department of Archaeology of NTU, and he should have brought his students to visit the Thousand Characters Essay today." ”

"I see." Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Are you going to talk to your grandfather?" ”

Bai Zhou said: "No, I'm working, grandpa can understand." ”

"Okay." Zhang Hao joked, "It seems that I did the wicked person today." ”

"Not at all!" Bai Zhou shook his head with a smile, "Even if you don't come to the pre-exhibition today, I still have to go to work." Also, when I work with you, I feel very relaxed. ”

Zhang Hao said with a smile: "Bai Zhou, you have a very high consciousness." ”

"There's no way, life is forcing it." Bai Zhou pointed to the display frame of the calligraphy and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you want to go up and have a look?" ”

"No," Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "The main purpose of my coming here today is to see how much attention this calligraphy has received, and now that the purpose has been achieved, I am ready to leave." ”

"Mr. Zhang, please stay." Bai Zhou hurriedly said, "We have arranged a luncheon at the hotel's Chinese restaurant, and I hope you can participate." ”

Zhang Hao refused: "Thank you, I appreciate the kindness, but I already have an appointment at noon." ”

"That's a pity, we'll invite you early next time." Bai Zhou said regretfully, "Then I'll send it to you." ”

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Under the leadership of Bai Zhou, Zhang Hao walked out of the pre-exhibition hall and returned to the lobby of the hotel.

Wang Sicheng was not in the lobby, and several auction house staff bowed to Zhang Hao and watched him leave.

After walking out of the hotel, Zhang Hao said to Bai Zhou: "Bai Zhou, stay and stay, thank you today." ”

Bai Zhou said: "Okay, then Mr. Zhang, you go slowly!" ”

"Goodbye."

Zhang Hao nodded, and when he was about to leave, someone suddenly stopped him.

He turned to look and saw a young woman with short hair, suit pants and a white shirt, standing next to an online ride-hailing car and waving to him.
