The definition of a treasure detective is: a professional who looks for a collection in the private sector and recommends it to participate in an auction.

It is said that the people who do this business are rarer than "star scouts" and "flower scouts", and the number of employees is about the same as that of "hotel sleep testers".

Zhang Yang originally thought that this was because the difficulty of treasure hunting was too high.

A person can not only distinguish the quality of antiques, but also accurately judge the potential auction value of treasures, and even understand the relevant legal provisions.

Why should such a person wronged himself to be a treasure detective?

Isn't it fragrant to come to the live broadcast to appreciate treasures?

Unless, very rich.

But when he met Zhou Baotan, who contacted the mother and daughter, he realized that he was wrong.

said that the annual salary is 500,000 yuan, why do you ride a shared bicycle to meet?

I don't have a business card, so why do you even want me to ask for coffee?

Forget it, I'm here to talk about business anyway, so I'll invite you.

Zhang Yang pretended to be pretentious and took a sip of the sauce-flavored latte in his hand first.

I'll go, this smell, and put on a mask of pain directly.

"Zhang Xiansen, can't you get used to drinking Moutai?" The expression surnamed Zhou was a little intoxicated, and he smashed his mouth and said, "The taste is still very pure." ”

"Pure and impure is another story." Zhang Yang waved his hand while rinsing his mouth: "Let's get down to business first." ”

"Do you guys cut off your beard directly at other people's events?"

"It's too rude to be an international auction house like Christie's, and it doesn't even say hello, right?"

"Zhang Xiansen, you misunderstood." The surnamed Zhou shook his head again and again: "I'm not cutting off my beard, I'm kneeling and begging people to give me something to auction." ”

"Does it make a difference?"

Zhang Yang was a little confused by the other party's statement.

Isn't it a seed, do you need to kneel and beg?

"There's no way, the industry is sluggish."

surnamed Zhou, the bitter coffee hurt in his throat and began to complain.

There's nothing new about what he said.

It is nothing more than because of the tightening of the cultural relics protection policy, and the resources of those collectors in his own hands are not enough to eat.

It just so happened that the development of folk treasure appreciation was in full swing, and he used the time he usually spent eating and going to the toilet to find information on folk treasures and antiques on the Internet.

When he saw the treasure that could be auctioned abroad, he immediately licked his face and leaned in, begging someone to hand it over to him for auction.

Yesterday, he was at the scene of the treasure appraisal event, trying his luck.

As a result, Zhang Yang identified a black lacquer inlaid luodian jewelry box from the Ming Dynasty.

The year can be exported, and the value is not cheap, which fully meets his requirements.

So Zhou Baotan made a decisive move.

"How did you convince their mother and daughter?"

Zhang Yang was slightly curious about why he was stabbed in the back.

"We are fellow villagers, all Chaoshan people." Zhou Baotan told Zhang Yang very frankly.

It turned out to be a fellow countryman, so it was reasonable.

Although Zhang Yang has only seen the old lady once, he can imagine that if this gentleman surnamed Zhou really played the hometown card and cried and begged for help, the old lady should not refuse.

As for whether it is a real fellow, there is no need to delve into it.

"Expert teacher, this is my normal business behavior."

"Shouldn't there be any problem?"

"No problem." Zhang Yang said with a relaxed expression: "It's nothing more than that when we sign the contract in the future, we will set the liquidated damages high." ”

"By the way, I have to find a security guard to pull you into the blacklist and not let you in."

In order to convince the other party that he would really do this, Zhang Yang deliberately picked up his mobile phone and made a pose to take a photo.

The middle-aged man on the opposite side skillfully wanted to cover his face.

But suddenly I remembered, this is not a massage parlor, what am I covering?

He immediately arched his hand at Zhang Yang, and begged to raise his noble hand:

"Teacher Zhang, you are such a big expert, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as my little minion, right?"

"I'm just making some hard-earned money."

"Okay, sure enough, you still want to go to the scene to cut off your beard." Zhang Yang said with a clear face.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted so much to the matter of "being blacklisted".

It's good that I found it early, otherwise I don't know how many lots I would have lost!

"Let's be honest, how many of you are there, how much wool do you want to gather this time?"

"Honestly, there's still something to talk about."

Zhang Yang successfully asked the surname Zhou.

The middle-aged man seems to be thinking about life events, and he is a little restless.

Finally, he frowned, and Zhang Yang said:

"Are you going to cooperate?"

"On our side, in October, there is a special auction for Asian private collections, and we need at least 150 lots."

"At present, here in Yangcheng, I can report up to 60 pieces, but I only rely on myself, and there is basically no possibility of filling up."

This is to show his hole cards to Zhang Yang.

Request cooperation.

Sixty pieces? How much money can you make?

Zhang Yang did the math, according to 30% of the transaction commission (5%), with a turnover of 10 million, the surname Zhou can earn 150,000.

What stinky fish and rotten shrimp, delay me to do big business!

At the same time, Zhou Baotan himself was also calculating an account.

When the electricity was turned on before, he read that Zhang Yang was willing to cooperate.

That's why just now, he deliberately said that he was so miserable, and he praised Zhang Yang highly, striving for cooperation.

Participating in Christie's auctions with a price of less than 30 million will be charged a commission ranging from 20% to 25%.

He gets 50 percent of it.

If the 60 pieces are all together, according to the turnover of 10 million, there will be more than 1 million in hand.

"I don't think there's much more to talk about."

Zhang Yang stood up and prepared to take advantage of the fact that it was not dark to experience the nightlife of Yangcheng.

"Don't, teacher, let's talk again!"

"What is there to talk about in the business of hundreds of thousands?"

Zhang Yang pursed his lips, and almost said that he was up and down in millions of minutes.

"No, it's six or seven hundred thousand."

"You were taught math by a PE teacher, huh? 10 million multiplied by 0.05 and multiplied by 30% ......"

"Wrong, wrong."

Zhou Baotan pulled up the calculator on his mobile phone and calculated his version of the commission.

"Why do you charge a 20% commission? Isn't it the maximum 5%? Zhang Yang pointed out a glaring mistake.

"You're talking about an auction with an official background, right? Christie's has always been the standard. ”

"So high!"

"Then why do you get 50%? Related? Zhang Yang continued to ask.

"I'm a member, and I have to pay a membership fee of 500,000 yuan a year."

"Are you still short of people?"

"Huh?"

"Just kidding, I know now why you're so positive."

Zhang Yang sat down again.

No wonder he just said "cooperation" a little, and this person took the initiative to ask himself to meet and talk in detail.

I thought I was going to buy myself, but I didn't expect it to be because it was a big business!

Cooperation, of course, can be discussed.

There are indeed many lots in Yangcheng.

Several experts in the background are discussing whether to open an additional auction.

Providing a safe and stable antiques trading platform is a good thing for collectors, whether they are buying or selling.

Now do the math, it is much more cost-effective to hand over the extra collection to Christie's for auction than to open an additional one.

"Fifty-fifty, if you agree, sign an agreement with me."

Zhang Yang quickly cut through the mess and gave his own plan.

Zhou Baotan agreed without much hesitation.

After signing the agreement and going out to sweep the shared bicycle, he revealed the truth to Zhang Yang:

In the whole Yangcheng, he is doing this work alone.

The good brothers who used to struggle together went to play with Tengwen, saying that they could make a lot of money.

"If it weren't for this treasure appreciation activity all of a sudden, I would have planned to work for him."

"Do you see this five-eyed dzi on my neck? What he received from the Tibetans is old and precious. ”

Zhang Yang glanced at it, the one who can give this thing is indeed a true brother.

But considering the long-term and stable nature of the cooperation, he still kindly reminded him:

"Industrially dyed agate, you may get sick if you wear too much."

“……”

"I'll go!"

Zhou Baotan is also a ruthless person, and he directly dragged the dyed dzi on his neck hard.

The little beads on the knot all crumbled.

The way he gritted his teeth and strenched his strength, I don't know if he was afraid of getting sick or if he had hatred in his heart.

"Teacher, can you help me take a closer look, is it really dyed?"

"Definitely, the heavy metal content exceeds the standard, you can send it for testing." Zhang Yang replied calmly.

This kind of thing, he has seen too much in the live broadcast.

It is usually used to send to friends.

"It's too much."

Zhou Baotan angrily hammered his thigh and told Zhang Yang:

"When he first ran a cultural toy factory, I sold the antiques that I had treasured for many years and borrowed him 1.5 million!"

"And you ended up hurting me with this poisonous thing?"

"If you want to open it, maybe he doesn't know it." Zhang Yang comforted: "Some people who fake too much will hypnotize themselves in their hearts, and they are selling real things. ”

"After a long time, he himself believed it."

"I know him, he definitely won't. Teacher, don't leave yet, do me a favor, I'm going to confront him face to face. ”

Zhou Baotan seems to be a little upset.

Zhang Yang's ass has also left the stool.

This kind of thing, it's okay to watch a play, but it's not necessary to get involved.

……

[Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off......]

"Shut down?" Zhou Baotan scratched his head: "Teacher, don't worry, I'll call his wife again." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, you fight slowly, be careful that your brother misunderstands."

This time the phone finally worked, and it was a delicate woman who answered the phone, and she lowered her voice and said:

"Hello? Why did you call now? ”

"Is Lao Zhang here? Let him listen to the phone. Zhou Bao said angrily.

Lao Zhang? Zhang Yang was stunned, this damn sense of substitution.

Also, what is this woman doing mysteriously?

"He, he's in, don't you know?" The woman said suddenly sadly.

"Got in, what did you go into?"

"Go to the detention center."

"What?"

Zhou Baotan was so shocked that his mouth widened, and he looked up and Zhang Yang glanced at each other.

Neither of them expected that the story would unfold like this.

After some inquiry, the wife of "Lao Zhang" made things clear in tears.

It turned out that her husband borrowed money from friends to open a cultural toy factory, specializing in selling dzi.

At the beginning, the business was very good, and the 600% net profit was simply a sack and filled it with money.

But the good times didn't last long, and since last month, suddenly there have been troubles coming to the door.

At first, it was only in some offline retail stores, and some consumers complained that things were fake and had to lose money.

This can still be solved, just spend some money and find some connections.

But they never expected that there would be a professional anti-counterfeiting team to come to the door, from the dealer, all the way to the source of the factory.

Then, "Lao Zhang" went in without any suspense.

In just four months, the dream of making a fortune was shattered, and 20 years in prison could be expected.

"What team?" Zhou Baotan told his younger siblings: "It may also be illegal to fight counterfeiting." ”

"Maybe Lao Zhang can still be saved."

I don't know if Zhou Baotan is for brotherhood or for the money he lent out, anyway, he said that he would investigate this anti-counterfeiting team.

"I don't know, I just heard that it is Master Zhang's ace to play the fake heavenly group." The woman sobbed and said, "I heard that this Master Zhang is a big treasure connoisseur anchor with an official background. ”

"It's so ruthless, it's going to attack everyone with the same surname."

"Teacher Zhang, have you heard of this Master Zhang?" Zhou Baotan looked at Zhang Yang inquiringly.

are all surnamed Zhang, a bit of a coincidence?

"Zhou Xiansen, do you usually have any hobbies?" Zhang Yang suddenly asked inexplicably.

Although he felt that this question was a bit strange, Zhou Baotan still replied:

"I usually like to play mahjong and occasionally fish."

"Then do you watch short videos?"

"I never read it, I think it's a more superficial way of leisure, and I prefer to enrich myself by reading."

Zhang Yang nodded in understanding, and he liked it too.

Since I don't look at the comics, I'll just make it up.

"I don't know this Master Zhang at all, it's a pure passerby......"

"But I've heard...... He is an official treasure connoisseur anchor who has detached himself from low-level interests and has a strong background. ”

"This anti-counterfeiting group should be spontaneously organized by his fans, and the people who really handle the case are still the local police."

"So the police are his umbrella, right?" Zhou Baotan summed it up quickly.

On the other end of the phone, the middle-aged woman asked hoarsely, "Then what now?" ”

"Brother and sister, you are still young. If you really want to guard Lao Zhang and wait for him to get out of prison, I will help take care of you. ”

Zhou Baotan said this very seriously, but it always sounded a little weird.

Especially the male protagonist is also surnamed Zhang.

"The court will be in a few days."

"You tell me about the situation first, and I'll help you analyze ......"

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have entered the stage of "how to take care of them", Zhang Yang hurriedly excused himself for the bus to arrive and took the first step.

……

"What's going on with that anti-counterfeiting group?"

Back at the hotel, Zhang Yang immediately began to investigate the matter.

It's okay to fight fakes, but it's a bit inauthentic to pull hatred for yourself and don't tell yourself.

He began to think that this was a small group organized by Sister Gao.

Because this sister really likes to fight fakes, the previous gold inlay is proof of this.

And this time she is very excited to travel to Yangcheng.

Maybe it's just to meet the downline.

But after asking carefully, no one in the studio staff or fans in the group has heard of this group.

Zhang Yang can only retreat and ask everyone:

"Do any of you know that there is a dzi factory in Yangcheng Huadu that has been served by Lian Pot, who reported it?"

Nobody knows.

But a treasure friend's answer reminded Zhang Yang:

"The cultural tycoon seems to live in Huadu, why didn't the anchor ask him?"

Thanks to the teddy bear of Miracle Island, the 100 coin reward that loves games and loves beauties, and has a faint d tobacco flavor! I'm late from work today, and I only have one shift, so I'll make up for it tomorrow.
