"Can I see this seal?"

"Which one?"

"A green jade bucket-shaped seal."

When Zhang Yang slid the tablet to help find out the picture, he suddenly found that he had missed a photo just now.

It turned out that the surname Xu also took pictures of the contents of the seal.

Engraved at the bottom is "Meishou Wanlong, Yonger Jingfu".

This is the word to wish for a long life.

Zhang Yang remembered that one of the pieces of the same series he had seen was engraved at the bottom of the inscription "Zhongzheng Peace, Happiness is Long".

The meaning is very close.

And they are also all Yin script seals.

It's clearly a set of things.

Now, even if he didn't see the real thing, Zhang Yang also had a relatively clear judgment on the source of this thing.

"This seal ......"

After Mr. Xu saw the photo, he was a little undecided, and went back to show it to his wife.

The two muttered for a while before he came back and told Zhang Yang:

"If you like it, Director Zhang, we can give you this seal as a welcome gift."

"Provided that you are willing to accept our offer."

Zhang Yang listened and didn't rush to answer, but he was already complaining in his heart.

What is the use of this seal?

As long as he shows up and lets the old experts in the Forbidden City know, he will definitely do Master Wang's ideological work and let Zhang Yang "return" the things.

And from a legal point of view, the old collections of the Qing Palace, including the personal belongings of the emperor and concubines, now belong to the state.

Naturally, this royal seal is also included.

Didn't you say "the world is the world", but now the "world" is the state, and the emperor's family is naturally also the country.

These Manchu nobles who escaped and smuggled out the contents of the palace actually met the conditions for the recovery of cultural relics.

There is no essential difference between stealing national cultural relics out of the country.

Of course, if it was given to them by the emperor, then there would be no problem.

This seal is clearly not a reward.

The emperor wants to reward only one set, and he will not take out a single piece.

And this set of seals are all made of antique treatment, and it is clearly made to cater to the emperor's hobby of collecting and for others to play with.

What about the other treasures besides the seal?

Could it be that it was also smuggled out of the country?

After all, her mother's family name is Aixin Jueluo!

Zhang Yang thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

That's right, you should find a way to see the details of this fleeing nobleman.

In the end, it is a thick family;

Or when I packed up and fled, there were enough treasures illegally swept away.

In fact, Goldfinger has already unlocked the relevant new features, and Zhang Yang can see the source of the item.

But because it is really a heirloom antique, there are often dozens of source information, and Zhang Yang rarely studied it carefully before that.

Now, it's time to put it to good use.

Zhang Yang thought about it, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face:

"Actually, it doesn't make much difference to me if I work in another place."

"Instead of sitting back and enjoying the success of the old museum, I actually have the idea of going outside to work hard."

"But it's like starting a business to examine the environment, and now I can't really determine the strength of the two based on just a few photos."

"It's better to see the real thing."

"Do you think it's okay?"

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, the Xu couple laughed in unison.

None of them expected that the flamboyant attitude would be so good.

But it's in line with their imagination of the domestic environment.

What the curators of the Helin Museum are not as attractive as the museums they didn't start building!

"Brother Yang, think twice!"

Chen Yanguang whispered in Zhang Yang's ear:

"If you work for them, it's better to come to our group, and I will directly let you be the CTO."

"Huh?" Zhang Yang was stunned by what he said.

Is it so sought-after yourself?

Zhang Yang smiled embarrassedly.

But now that the Xu couple are looking at him, he can't talk much about the big brother on the list.

I can only say to him simply:

"Don't worry, I know it."

On the other side, the two also discussed the result.

Mrs. Xu, who is in charge, came to communicate with Zhang Yang:

"Director Zhang, your choice is wise."

"Since you are willing to give us this face, then of course we will not hide it."

"But these things are all in England now, and we really can't show you them for a while......"

"What then?"

Zhang Yang asked with an innocent expression:

"Do you want me to go to England? That's too much time. ”

"No, no, you see if that's okay."

"We've learned before, Master Zhang, you seem to be able to appreciate treasures on video, right?"

"It just so happens that we have plans to go back to the UK recently, otherwise that's it, let's communicate remotely by video at that time."

"Yes!" Zhang Yang nodded.

If by then, there is really an obvious source of the treasure of the Forbidden City, Zhang Yang will definitely inform Chu Zhenmin of the news.

How to notify?

Use screen recording software when you video!

As for the Cultural Relics Bureau, whether they have the ability and willingness to welcome back the cultural relics that have been illegally exported to China is their business.

Again:

If it is really ancestral, Zhang Yang will never wronged others;

But if he relied on Aixin Jueluo's relationship to smuggle out the treasure that should have belonged to the country, it would definitely have to be recovered.

Otherwise, if you really let the other party run this museum, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of yourself as a cultural relics protector?

The painstaking excavation of cultural relics has not yet stolen the precious ...... when people escaped.

……

After dinner, in front of the hotel.

Chen Yanguang really couldn't hold back his curiosity, and couldn't help but ask Zhang Yang:

"Brother Yang, are you unhappy working at the Hailin Museum?"

"Even if it is, you don't have to work for the person surnamed Xu, right? That's a complete abuse of yourself. ”

I am optimistic that my brother cares about himself so much, and Zhang Yang is still very useful in his heart.

He patted Chen Yanguang on the shoulder and briefly explained his thoughts.

Hear Zhang Yang say:

It is very likely that the Xu couple's belongings were fished from the Forbidden City when they escaped.

Chen Yanguang's expression also became serious.

He said to Zhang Yang very seriously:

"Brother Yang, don't let them go!"

"In the past year, although I haven't made any money, I have accumulated contacts."

"As long as you speak, I will definitely help you bring out the family surnamed Xu."

"Hahaha, then your business is not done?"

"It's fine." Chen Yanguang waved his hand, "I have already earned back the capital just by collecting their deposits." ”

"You're still ruthless......"

"Hehe, yes, that's why I said just now, I can't refuse them to eat."

"But now it's different, and there's no psychological pressure at all to earn their money."

Chen Yanguang shook his body with a relaxed expression, smirking at Zhang Yang.

It's hard to imagine that half a year ago, he wanted to buy stolen goods from tomb robbers.

Now he can condemn others in righteous and stern terms.

In the final analysis, it is a difference in vision.

Amateurs outside the antique circle will think that this is also a treasure, and it is also valuable.

But like Chen Yanguang, after you really enter the circle, you will find:

Most antiques are actually far less valuable and precious than they think.

Most of the truly scarce heirlooms are in the hands of museums and a very small number of professional collectors.

The popular antiques circulating in the market are largely deliberately released for speculation.

The true value is much lower than the transaction price.

After Chen Yanguang realized these truths, his fanaticism for antiques gradually subsided.

Now it is possible to look at the problem from a completely neutral and objective point of view.

Zhang Yang was happy for the big brother on the list.

That's right, the rich second generation always thinks about how unconscious the female anchor is?

The pursuit of other aspects should still be taken into account.

Zhang Yang also took out an invitation letter at the right time.

"I'm free to see a preview of this auction."

"Knowing that you are busy, the auction will not force you to come, and I have time to accompany my sister-in-law to visit the exhibition and relax."

"Yes, you can."

Chen Yanguang happily accepted the invitation.

Changing hands, he pulled out a bright red invitation card from his pocket.

That is, the invitation to his and Cheng Shihui's wedding!

Zhang Yang took it and looked at the date, which was on the third day of next month, in the only five-star hotel in Linhai.

"Damn, that's the time to give me an invitation? Confidentiality is done well enough, huh? ”

Zhang Yang gently hammered Chen Yanguang's shoulder and said.

Chen Yanguang smiled:

"Actually, it wasn't so fast, but I didn't expect it to ......"

"Huihui, she has."

"Oh~" Zhang Yang smiled knowingly, "It turned out that Fengzi got married." ”

"There is a set, you, no wonder Qi Lele, you kneel so happily, it turns out that you kneel two people at a time."

"Hahaha, not really."

Chen Yanguang came over and put his arm around Zhang Yang's shoulders and said:

"Remember, come and grab the bouquet."

"If you don't come, I'll call the police to find you."

"Huihui's mood is not very stable over there, and she can't see me for a long time, so she won't send you upstairs."

"Well, got it, go ahead, go ahead."

Zhang Yang drove Chen Yanguang out as if he was driving people away.

I can't wait to kick him in the back and kick him in the ass.

Seeing him trotting all the way to the side of the car, nodding and explaining to his wife, Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing.

Well, there will never be a new story of the "leek emperor" on the Internet in the future.

The big brother on the list has finally returned to life completely.

……

Zhang Yang is still a little far away from Chen Yanguang.

However, his career has also ushered in a critical juncture.

After three days of preview, the "Christie's - Helin Light Special Auction" officially began.

This time, Zhang Yang finally got a relatively front row position at the auction site.

Boss Lan and Jason Zhou sat next to him.

These two people are almost all of Zhang Yang's connections in Xiangjiang.

It's less, but it's enough.

The lots were all collected, a bit miscellaneous, and Zhang Yang deliberately sorted them out according to their uses and categories.

Finally, the auction was divided into four parts.

Scholar's antiques, famous paintings and calligraphy, porcelain and oriental oil paintings from the past dynasties.

The last link is left to Fu Sishi alone.

This auction was originally held because Chu Ziqiang wanted to help Fu Sishi, and Zhang Yang went to help Chu Ziqiang.

It can be said that it is a dumpling specially wrapped for that little vinegar.

But accidentally, the dumplings boiled in a big pot.

From now on, it's time to fish out one by one.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Christie's Hailin Light auction is about to begin, please check the number plate in your hand and turn your mobile phone to silent, thank you for your cooperation."

Auctioneer Shen Yangling was on the stage, guiding the buyers on the scene with an extremely gentle tone.

"Next, we will first carry out the first thematic part of this auction: Ancient and Modern, Scholar's Antiques."

"The first thing to do is Lot 1001, a Nanmu lacquer from the middle of the Qing Dynasty."

"The starting price is 280,000 yuan."

"Does anyone want to make a bid?"

“……”

Zhang Yang leaned back in his chair and watched the numbers on the big screen jump a little bit very leisurely.

It feels like every time he jumps, his body secretes a little dopamine, which makes him happy.

Because they are all carefully selected treasures, whether they are true or fake, or the source, there is no problem at all.

So Zhang Yang was on the spot, in fact, to see the bidding situation.

Tens of millions of business, even if you pretend, you have to spend some time and energy on it.

After auctioning off several pieces, Zhang Yang suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Why isn't the bidding fierce at all?

This is the case for several lots in a row:

It was quite lively at first, but after four or five prices, soon only two parties were raising prices for each other;

And once it gets into this situation, one side immediately gives up.

Not struggling.

As a result, the final transaction price is often 40,000 or 50,000 yuan more expensive than the auction price.

Far below the expectations of the public.

What's going on?

Zhang Yang frowned, and quietly observed the auction of several pieces.

Combined with the customer information given by Jason Zhou, he quickly understood:

The scene was united by several big dog owners to control the price.

Big dogs raise prices with each other to drive retail investors away, and then quickly make deals.

Jason Zhou explained to Zhang Yang:

"This kind of agreement is usually reached before the auction, and the cake is divided, and the lot they like is won at the least cost."

Zhang Yangxin said that before he had time to move his chopsticks, these people began to divide the cake?

Why?

"Didn't they do it in violation of the law?" Zhang Yang asked with a frown.

Seven or eight lots have been auctioned, and the transaction prices are not ideal.

Knowing this, he set the starting price high.

"No way, this is a tacit understanding outside the field."

"They should have said in advance, which person shoots which piece, unless there are very rebellious retail investors who come out to disrupt the situation, otherwise that's it."

Retail investors who are against the sky?

Zhang Yang thought about it, apart from himself, the only people who could take on this important task in Xiangjiang were Chen Yanguang and Boss Lan.

But Chen Yanguang is shopping with his wife at this time;

The funds prepared by Boss Lan will be used to support Fu Sishi later.

I can't spare my hand.

If Zhang Yang is looking for a childcare child and taking pictures of his own things, he will purely give Christie's a handling fee.

There are still many lots, and they will be lost!

Seeing that the current lot was being charged again, Zhang Yang knew that he couldn't wait any longer.

It's time to act.

He saw the right moment and raised his hand to stand up as he auctioned off a lot from the Helin Museum.

"I'm sorry, guys."

"I am the one who sent all the lots in this auction, and there is a little problem with this lot that I didn't notice before."

"Can the organizers pause for five minutes and let me fix this mistake?"

Shen Yangling on the stage looked at Zhang Yang with a puzzled expression.

Fortunately, at this time, Jason Zhou, who rushed to the backstage, explained the situation to her through the headset.

She quickly responded:

"I'm sorry everyone, but I've received a message from here."

"Now it's syncing with everyone."

"Due to the legal risks of this current lot, we need to temporarily suspend the auction and cooperate with the relevant departments to complete the evidence collection and investigation."

"Please do not move around the buyers to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." (End of chapter)
