After finishing today's live broadcast task, Zhang Yang checked the situation in the studio as usual.

The main thing is to see how Tang Qiyun's side is running several accounts.

"It was all good before, but I don't know why, the number of video views has fallen off a cliff in the past two days."

"I don't know what went wrong." Tang Qiyun said with some trepidation.

"Slipped? Could it be that my live broadcast is not good? ”

Zhang Yang thought to himself:

I neither officially announced my relationship with a rapper, nor did I sell computers to fans, so I shouldn't decline!

He hurriedly asked Tang Qiyun to call up the data and take a look.

On the audience index chart, the time when the number of viewers began to fall off a cliff happened to be just two days before this long holiday.

In the next few days, the downward trend was stable, not as exaggerated as Xiao Tang said.

"Boss, how do you win back this part of the audience now?" Tang Qiyun asked nervously.

"Take it easy, it's normal." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

He opened the circle of friends and showed Xiao Tang a few photos.

The content of the photos is very similar, densely packed with people.

People are crowded, people are crowded, crowded together, as if they are on a pilgrimage.

Standing in such a crowd, it is estimated that it is difficult to move your arms.

"So many people! Where is this? Don asked.

"It's all tourists in Zigong, waiting to see the lantern festival." Zhang Yang told her with a smile: "The fans who usually watch our videos and eat are now traveling outside, and it's normal for no one to watch the new videos......"

……

Tang Qiyun's side, the situation is OK.

On the other two employees' side, Zhang Yang also symbolically cared for him.

Ask Sister Gao, how are the child's entrance exam results?

Ask Xu Jie again, has there been any progress on the blind date?

Finally, Zhang Yang announced the arrangements for the holiday, which began on the 2nd of the month.

He's the boss, and he's been out in the field a lot lately, and the employees in the studio are often taking vacations, so there's no opinion on a late holiday.

Employees began to take vacations to show that they still had business.

He will leave early tomorrow morning for a trip to Xiangjiang.

Zhou Baotan has already helped arrange it.

In the past, it was considered "half business, half travel".

Christie's special auction for the second half of this year is about to begin.

Zhang Yang actually didn't have much interest in participating in the auction.

After the tightening of the domestic cultural relics policy, the auctions on this side of Xiangjiang are not as good as year after year.

The treasures with relatively high transaction prices are all famous calligraphy and paintings, Huanghuali furniture, etc., which is difficult to arouse the interest of a museum director.

But after all, he sent two pieces of jadeite to the auction, and it was understandable that Zhang Yang personally went to the scene to stare at it.

……

In Hong Kong, the reception was received by Ms. Shen Yangling, Vice President and Head of Auction of Christie's Hong Kong Branch.

"Welcome to Christie's."

In the reception room, Miss Shen, who was wearing a plain cheongsam, shook hands politely and flamboyantly.

"Miss Shen? Fortunately, fortunately. ”

Zhang Yang was a little surprised, he originally thought that he would meet his old acquaintance Zhou Baotan, but he didn't expect it to be this Miss Shen.

He used to be an Internet celebrity auctioneer, and now he is a senior executive of the company.

Wen Zhengming's seven-character poem handscroll, which was auctioned for a high price of 71.5 million yuan, was written by her.

Zhang Yang has seen the video of her auction, and there is no doubt that this is a master who knows how to use his own advantages and is good at mobilizing the emotions of others.

"Jason Zhou (Zhou Baotan) can't come for a while, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang."

"It's okay, you're the vice president, it's the same as talking to you." Zhang Yang said quite straightforwardly.

He is a customer, and he is here to cooperate to make money, so there is no need to engage in those twists and turns.

"Haha, Mr. Zhang is young and promising, and he is really fast-talking."

Shen Yangling smiled and took out a black folder from the leather bag on her side.

It contains information about the lots in this auction.

The first three pages are all potential lots that Zhang Yang discussed with Zhou Baotan before and discovered during his treasure appreciation in Yangcheng.

Each lot has a four-digit serial number.

"The auction is divided into three days."

"The first day is [Danqing Collection], the second day is [Porcelain and Crafts], and the last day is [Buddhist Art Masterpieces]."

"The lots you and Jason Zhou agreed on are all concentrated on the next day, so the serial number starts with [2]."

At the time of Shen Yangling's introduction, Zhang Yang had already found the serial number of his imperial green bracelet.

The serial number is very low and looks like the finale of the next day.

The starting price is set at 7.5 million.

Not bad, very good.

Zhang Yang was very satisfied.

This price is not in vain, he owes favors, and asks Wei Fuguang to be a nursery.

……

Seeing that Zhang Yang had finished reading the first few pages of the lot, Shen Yangling asked out loud:

"Our arrangement, do you feel uncomfortable here?"

"It's good, but there's still a lack of an invitation to the auction."

"Don't worry, Jason will take you in on the day your lot goes up. Do you have a need for the other two days? ”

If there are no desired lots, the auction will be lengthy and boring.

Wanting to see artifacts is certainly far less fun than going to a museum.

"Wait a minute, I'll see."

Zhang Yang quickly flipped through the lot information in his hand.

[Danqing Collection], of course, refers to calligraphy and painting.

Christie's is divided into two fields: ancient and modern.

Among the ancient paintings and calligraphy, there are Zeng Guofan's "Cursive Calligraphy", Tang Yin's "Moonscape of Streams and Mountains" with colored silk handscrolls, Zhao Mengfu's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", and Dong Qichang's "Autumn Scene" landscape painting......

Wait, how can there be Song Huizong's "Phantom Flower Bird"?

Zhang Yang took a look at the starting price of Huizong's works, 300,000 yuan.

The starting price of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy is only 100,000 yuan, and Huizong's price is a bit like a genuine product.

Gotta take a look and see if it's true or not.

Let's take a look at modern paintings:

There are two pages on the first page, both of which are Pu Ru's works.

Pu Ru's cousin was called Pu Yi, and he was known as the last imperial artist and was very popular in the overseas art market.

Next is two pages of Zhang Daqian, one page of Qi Baishi, Fu Baoshi and so on.

Common sense tells Zhang Yang that there must be high imitations in these calligraphy works.

Anyway, it's all about looking at the real and fake, so it's better to go and see if Song Huizong's paintings are real or fake.

On the second day's [porcelain and craft products], Zhang Yang is definitely going to go.

He had planned to turn over the pages quickly, but after only two pages, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

I heard that ancient relics can't be traded? Bronzes can't be traded?

That's the matter of the national uniform, and on the side of Xiangjiang, it's all okay.

In the live broadcast room before, the one that Baoyou had appraised, the [Late Shang Bronze Bow Weapon] used by the cavalry, in this auction, the starting price was only 20,000;

[Bronze Dragon Pattern Ge in the Late Shang Dynasty], 30,000 starting auctions;

[Western Zhou Dynasty Bronze Phoenix Bird Pattern (You Three Sounds) and Bronze Bucket], a complete set of tableware, 40,000 starting shots;

There are also ox-shaped bronze animal heads in the Spring and Autumn Period, tiger talismans of the Warring States, luan bells of the Warring States and so on......

Zhang Yang also saw the bronze dagger of the treasure friend who came to the live broadcast room to provoke before:

[7th-6th century B.C., northwest China, bronze dragon dagger]

The starting price is 80,000 yuan.

The source of the item reads:

"Purchased in 1994 in Hong Kong."

"Opai Harris Collection, Miami, FL."

Zhang Yang rubbed his eyes, suspecting that he had seen it wrong.

How did the raw pit and the newly unearthed cultural relics become things from more than 30 years ago?

It just so happened that the vice president was by his side, so he asked directly:

"Miss Shen, what is the origin of this Opai Harris?"

Shen Yangling explained: "This Mr. Opai is a senior member of our auction house. ”

Zhang Yang then remembered that Christie's is a membership system.

They don't engage in the collection of lots, and the members take the initiative to charge money and beg them to auction.

"Is it possible to auction a lot of a senior member as long as it is a senior member's lot?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

"As long as the minimum starting price is met."

"Is Mr. Zhang interested? You can enjoy an exclusive discount on membership fees for your qualifications! ”
