11 Dig the foot of the wall
In the small talk between Yun Feiyang and Peter, Xu Xianming and Jin Guangren soon arrived together.
Yun Feiyang has already learned about the resumes of Xu Xianming and Kim Guangren on the official website of Sotheby Auction House.
Xu Xianming is only 42 years old this year, and is now the CEO of Southby Auction House in the Asia-Pacific region, graduated from the Harvard University Business School in the United States, and is an absolute elite management talent.
Jin Guangren, 65 years old, was the first dean of the School of Archaeology at Kyoto University, a famous historian, scholar, master of calligraphy and painting, vice chairman of the World Jewelry and Jade Association, honorary president of the Huaguo Jewelry and Jade Association, and a world-renowned master of antiques and jewelry.
Yun Feiyang came to Sotheby Auction House this time in addition to wanting to get funds, but also with the careful idea of digging into the wall when he has the opportunity.
For a management elite like Xu Xianming and Jin Guangren, an appraisal authority, Yun Feiyang is naturally extremely eager, if the auction house he is about to establish has these two joining, it will definitely rise in the shortest possible time.
Finally met with these two, and the poaching plan began to be implemented.
"Mr. Yun, these two are President Xu Xianming and Master Jin Guangren. ”
"President Xu, Master Jin, this is Mr. Yun Feiyang. Peter introduced the two sides.
"Hello, Mr. Yun. Thank you for coming to Sotheby. Xu Xianming stretched out his right hand and shook Yun Feiyang, and said enthusiastically.
"Hello, President Xu. It's been a pleasure to know you. ”
"Hello, Master Jin. You are my idol, and I have benefited greatly from reading your five books on antique appreciation and two books on jewelry and jade appreciation. It is a great honor to meet you today. Yun Feiyang took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.
"As soon as I saw Mr. Yun, I knew that he was a knowledgeable person and had the opportunity to communicate with each other. Yun Feiyang has a handsome appearance and a modest temperament, and Jin Guangren has a good impression as soon as they meet.
"After reading Master Jin's writings, I have always had a few questions in my heart, and I must ask for advice in person if I can meet today. Please don't think I'm presumptuous. "Yun Feiyang naturally wants to seize the opportunity to get close to Master Jin, and he will not let it go.
After the two finished discussing a few very controversial surname issues, Xu Xianming hurriedly seized the opportunity and said, "Mr. Yun, Master Jin, do you think we should sit down first and talk while drinking tea?"
"I didn't expect Feiyang's theoretical foundation to be so solid, if it weren't for the fact that my old man was still a little level, I would really be asked by you. It's still early, let's drink tea and talk slowly. In the discussion just now, Yun Feiyang showed a very profound and professional level, and Jin Guangren was very happy.
After the tea was served again and the four of them sat down, Xu Xianming took out a business card, handed it to Yun Feiyang with both hands, and said, "Mr. Yun, this is a contemptible business card, I hope we have the opportunity to communicate more." ”
Yun Feiyang took the business card with both hands, put it away, and then took out the business card he had specially prepared from his handbag and handed it to Xu Xianming.
"Mr. Yun, your business card is so precious. The glass kind of emerald, there is no trace of variegation throughout the body, especially this carving is absolutely master, the clouds are ethereal, as if it is flowing. Looks like I'm going to have to put your business card in the bank's safe. Xu Xianming is well-informed, and he is the president of the auction house, and he has seen many treasures, but the business card that Yun Feiyang took out really shocked him.
"Master Jin, take a look. ”
"No, I don't. I still have a business card, please keep it Master Jin. Yun Feiyang took out another business card of the same kind and handed it to Master Jin.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Peter, but I only brought two of these business cards with me today, so please keep this one. Yun Feiyang said to Peter slightly apologetically, and at the same time took out a business card made of mutton fat and white jade and handed it to him.
Master Jin and Peter couldn't care about being rude at this time, and took out their magnifying glasses to carefully and repeatedly look at the business card in their hands.
"Mr. Yun, you are so bold, I will definitely treasure this business card of yours, it is a precious work of art. The engraving of this business card is so perfect that it is worth more than the material used. I will carefully choose a small gift to give back to you in return, thank you for your generosity. Peter didn't mind that the value of the business card he got was much worse, he knew that it was normal, and he was already surprised that Yun Feiyang was able to give him a business card of the best mutton fat white jade.
"Mr. Peter, you are so polite. ”
"Feiyang, you really shocked my old man. You're so extravagant, I've never met anyone more extravagant than you. But I have to admit that it's really more than just a business card, and like Peter said, it's definitely a precious work of art, and it doesn't diminish its value just because it's a business card. I didn't know that there were such great carvers in modern times. The carving of this business card shows that the skill has reached the realm of fun and nature, it has a soul, if you focus on it, you will feel that the clouds are really drifting, and that ethereal and leisurely feeling goes straight to the heart. Feiyang, can you tell me which master carved your business card? I have never seen such a unique and far-reaching carving work. Although Jin Guangren was shocked that the material of Yun Feiyang's business card was so luxurious and precious, the artistic level shown by the engraving of the business card really made him pay attention to it.
"This is my hand-carved business card, I don't deserve such praise from you, Master Jin, but I am ashamed of my boy. ”
"This is actually Feiyang's own carving, our country has produced such a young carving master! No, it should be a carving master! Although you are still young, your carving level has definitely reached the level of a grandmaster, which is really exciting. Hearing Yun Feiyang's words, Jin Guangren was really sincerely happy.
"Grandmaster Yun personally carved my business card, it seems that I am going to take it as a family heirloom. Xu Xianming knew that with Jin Guangren's rigorous style, since he recognized Yun Feiyang as a carving master, Yun Feiyang's carving works were definitely at the level of the grandmaster, without the slightest moisture.
"Feiyang's business card is really too precious, it seems that I want to prepare a return gift for you. ”
"I don't have to give me a gift in return, but I would be very happy if you were to give me a painting or calligraphy that you wrote in your own handwriting. ”
"You're at a loss for that flying. ”
"If you'd like to give a few more, I'd be more than happy to give them away. ”
"Since you like Feiyang, then I will create a few for you. ”
"Master Jin, do you think we will finish today's work first, and then entertain Feiyang?" Xu Xianming reminded.
"Yes, when we finish the work in hand, please have a drink at noon. Master Jin said briskly.
"This is the diamond that Mr. Yun wants to auction, Master Jin, you can appreciate it. Peter opened the box containing the diamonds and placed it gently in front of Master Gold.
Master Jin was also amazed when he saw such a stunning and perfect diamond, and did a comprehensive appraisal according to the process of identifying diamonds.
In just ten minutes, Master Jin made the appraisal certificate and signed his name.
"I still have a piece of jewelry to be auctioned, and after I ask Master Jin to appraise it, let's discuss cooperation together. ”;
