The world of film and television starts from a young age

Chapter 1021 Daily, Auction
After sorting out the rewards he had received, Zhou Chen exited the system panel.

At this time, there were already 30 to [-] people in the hall of the villa, and he also found several people in Tang suits, some were old and some were middle-aged.

Zhou Chen looked at these people in the villa, and found that most of them knew each other.

But this is also normal, after all, most of them are from the Jinling circle, each of them has a lot of money, and they don’t see each other when they look up, even if they are not familiar with each other, it’s no problem to sit together and drink tea and chat for a while.

Especially those who came here were all antique players, so naturally there were more topics to talk about with each other.

Li Ruiyang has good communication skills. Zhou Chen saw him greet many people with a smile, and everyone was very polite to him.

He heard Li Luo talk about their family before, although he only mentioned a few superficial words, but he also knew that the Li family should have a lot of energy, at least in Jinling, it should be good.

The people who came and went were all middle-aged and elderly people, so Zhou Chen's age seemed a bit out of place, and many people looked at Zhou Chen with a little surprise.

In the eyes of ordinary people, antique players are somewhat similar to doctors of traditional Chinese medicine. They will choose to believe in older people. After all, this is all based on experience. In ordinary people's thinking, of course, the older the age, the richer the experience.

What's more, young people nowadays are a little impetuous and fast-paced, and impetuousness is the most taboo in the antique industry, so few young people are involved in this industry now.

Zhou Chen sighed. In the novels, there are always old people who bring their descendants to meet the world, but today there is no one. Sure enough, novels are not reliable, alas.

It was more than half an hour after Li Ruiyang came down and sat down next to Zhou Chen.

"Xiao Zhou, how are you? Are you still used to it? Uncle will take you to meet seniors?"

Zhou Chen quickly waved his hand: "No, uncle, really don't bother, I'm here today to see the world."

Li Ruiyang couldn't help laughing: "That's right, according to what you young people say, this is called a generation gap."

He has completely agreed with Zhou Chen now. Since his daughter met Zhou Chen, great changes have taken place, and they have become closer to their husband and wife. In addition, he has been in contact with Zhou Chen several times, and he can feel Zhou Chen's love. The unusual thing is that he is a capable man, so he has already identified Zhou Chen as his future son-in-law.

Originally, he still wanted to bring Zhou Chen to know more people, which might be helpful to Zhou Chen's development in the future, but after thinking about it again, there was no need to be so deliberate.

If his daughter and Zhou Chen get married in the future, wouldn't his connections be those of his son-in-law?

"Uncle, there is no manual or anything like that in this auction?"

"I don't know too well. I rarely participate in this type of auction. I don't know exactly what happened this time."

Zhou Chen nodded. He knew that people like Li Ruiyang were fat sheep in the eyes of those who fiddled with antiques. It was much easier to make money from them than from professionals.

After more than an hour of quarreling, the real owner finally arrived.

I saw a group of seven or eight people walking down from the upstairs of the villa, and the people behind were carrying suitcases or lockboxes in their hands.

Someone upstairs, Zhou Chen, had heard it a long time ago, and he guessed that the person upstairs was the owner of this auction, and he guessed right.

"Crack, crack!"

"Bosses, thank you for your hard work. I am the host of this auction, Xu San. I believe many people know me and should know my reputation."

Xu San was a middle-aged man. He greeted everyone in the hall with a smile on his face. It could be seen that he was still a celebrity. Many people nodded silently after hearing what he said.

Li Ruiyang said in Zhou Chen's ear: "This Xu San is a relatively well-known insider. It is said that his ancestor was a Tufuzi. Don't underestimate him, he is a smiling tiger."

To put it bluntly, Zhou Chen was quite surprised. His ancestors started to be Tufuzi. It seems that Xu San is still a little level, but he doesn't know if he still does it now.

Tufuzi had a special earthy smell, but Zhou Chen was a little far away from Xu San and didn't smell much. He didn't know whether it was because he had never been a Tufuzi before or because he was a little far away and couldn't smell it clearly.

Xu San continued: "There are not many collections in this auction, but they are all high-quality products, and they are also treasures left by our ancestors. Some of them were even brought back by me from abroad, so this can be regarded as my contribution to the country." gone."

As Xu San spoke, he became complacent, but immediately after that, his face straightened again.

"Everyone understands the rules. After the transaction is completed, it doesn't matter if you walk out of this door."

"Okay, Xu San, stop talking about these superfluous words, and quickly take out the things. You don't have palms, how do you bid?"

A middle-aged man sitting in the front row shouted impatiently.

Xu San replied with a smile: "Brother Zhao is still impatient, okay, then I won't say more, the auction items are here, and each person has a maximum of 5 minutes."

As he said that, he asked the people behind him to open the suitcase and the combination box, and immediately, the objects with different shapes showed their true colors.

The treasure showed its true colors, and all the people who participated in the auction were attracted to it, and some even stood up impatiently.

"hiss!"

"Is this a bronze? It's a good thing."

"It's a surprise that there are still calligraphy and paintings."

…………

"There are twelve pieces in total, and each of them has 5 minutes of hand-eye time. These treasures are very precious. Please handle them with care, bosses."

Xu San spoke again. Seeing everyone's expressions, he was also very satisfied. These twelve treasures were acquired by him with a lot of effort, but they were obtained unofficially. Hard to get your hands on.

Of course, compared to the formal auction house, he prefers this kind of private small auction, where the money and goods are cleared, and the returns are extremely fast;
Although some risks are taken, which line of business makes money without taking risks?If he was really afraid of risks, he wouldn't be able to do this business.

Starting from the guests in the first row, each time for 5 minutes, there can only be two people at most, and they will take turns to check the auction items.

Many people couldn't sit still when they saw something good, and couldn't wait to watch it, but seeing that other people obeyed the rules, they could only sit still.

Zhou Chen and Li Ruiyang sat closer to the back edge, more than ten meters away from the auction item. If you have bad eyesight, you can only take a rough look.

At this time, Li Ruiyang took out his reading glasses, stretched his neck, and stared at those objects.

After watching for a long time, he took off his eyes, wiped them, and lowered his voice.

"Xiao Zhou, how do you feel?"

Zhou Chen replied with a serious face: "It's too far away and I haven't gotten started, so it's hard to say, but this Xu San is not simple. Although there are only twelve objects, there are bronzes, Song kiln porcelain, and the bracelet. It looks like agarwood, so if it’s all genuine, it would be really amazing.”

If they are all genuine products, it means that Xu San is really capable. After all, it is not 30 or [-] years ago, and there are very few good things in the market.

He has good eyesight and can see clearly, but the specific truth and falsehood can only be determined after getting close to his hands.

He does have the pupil of appraisal, and can easily determine the information of an item, but there is no rush now, and it will not be too late to make a decision after he gets started.

Li Ruiyang said with great interest: "I think that bracelet is pretty good. If it's really made of agarwood, I can take a picture of it for Xiao Luo later, but I don't know if her girl will like this thing."

At first glance, he is also a daughter slave. He originally liked things, but the first thing he thought of was his daughter.

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "That's hard to say, this agarwood bracelet is not small, we men may like it, but girls may not."

"That's true. Just like your aunt, she's not too young, but she still likes those jade jewelry."

It was rare for Li Ruiyang to complain in front of Zhou Chen, but his face was full of smiles. It could be seen that he said what he said, but he still loved his wife very much.

The people who come here are either the bosses who speculate on antiques, those who really like antiques, or collectors.

But no matter what kind of person they are, after passing by, they will observe carefully, and they all wish to stay there. Every time Xu San reminds them that they have to leave.

When it was Zhou Chen's turn, it was already an hour and a half later. Li Ruiyang and Zhou Chen were in a group. He pulled Zhou Chen and walked over with great interest.

Xu San has been observing the people here. He has been in this business for so many years, and he can still tell who is the real big client and who has the ability to become his client.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was young, he didn't feel surprised at all. He just thought that Zhou Chen was following Li Ruiyang to gain experience.

It's just that when he saw Zhou Chen's professional hands-on and observation methods, his expression was slightly surprised. This young man is more professional than Li Ruiyang.

What Zhou Chen first picked up was a bunch of copper coins, there were dozens of them. After a closer look, he found that these copper coins were very good, they could form five emperor coins, and they were of good quality.

He put down the copper coin calmly, and looked at the next object...

The time of 5 minutes was up soon, and Li Ruiyang followed Zhou Chen back to his seat with a face full of reluctance.

"Xiao Zhou, what do you think, are they all good things?"

"good."

"What do you mean by okay?"

Zhou Chen said in a low voice: "If Uncle Li is interested, you can try to get the bracelets and porcelain tea sets."

Li Ruiyang was shocked: "Good stuff?"

"The bracelet is indeed agarwood. It's of good quality and has a long history. If the price is right, it's not a loss. As for the tea set."

Having said that, he leaned against Li Ruiyang's ear and whispered, "It's from the official kiln."

Li Ruiyang's complexion suddenly changed, and he was about to exclaim, but he finally stopped the impulse.

"Sure?"

"determine."

Zhou Chen is still very sure about the porcelain. The tea set is indeed from the official kiln. Although it is not particularly high-quality goods, it is still very valuable in this era.

Li Ruiyang showed an excited look. The porcelain from the official kiln is very rare, which makes him very excited.

At this moment, an old man sitting in front of Zhou Chen and the others turned his head.

"Young man, did you also fancy that tea set?"

The old man's sudden interruption made Li Ruiyang's face change. He didn't know the old man, but just heard someone say that the old man is an insider, but he is not in Jinling, but from the capital.

He still trusts Zhou Chen's level of appreciating treasures very much. Zhou Chen said that the porcelain is real, so there is a good chance that he can't be wrong, so he wants to win it, and naturally he doesn't want anyone to compete with him.

Zhou Chen replied politely: "Hello, I just think the tea set looks good, and it looks great after buying it."

The old man looked at Zhou Chen, smiled, and just said "Young man has good eyesight", and then turned his head away.

Zhou Chen knew that the old man also took a fancy to the porcelain tea set, but it's hard to say whether it was authentic or not. It was obvious that he was testing him just now.

In the antique business, don't expect to exchange your sincerity. Even masters and apprentices will often keep their hands, let alone strangers who have never met.

What is eyesight and experience, not only your own eyesight, but also the eyesight of seeing people. It is also a kind of experience to distinguish the true from the false by observing others.

Li Ruiyang still wanted to speak, but Zhou Chen shook his head at him, then took out his mobile phone and gestured.

Li Ruiyang immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant, and took out his mobile phone to edit what he wanted to say.

Eight of the twelve items are genuine, which can already be regarded as very conscientious in this small auction.

However, Zhou Chen was not very interested, not because he was not interested in these antiques, but because he was not interested in auctions.

There are so many people here, there must be capable people who can tell the truth from the fake. Competing with these people in the auction is simply not comparable with his current wealth, so he has no intention of participating in the bidding.

Another point is that these items don't have the kind of good things that make him want to get them desperately.

On the contrary, when Li Ruiyang learned that there were so many good things, his eyes were shining, as if he wanted to take them back for collection.

After everyone had their eyes on it, the auction started under the auspices of Xu San.

This was Zhou Chen's first time participating in an auction in reality. In fact, the process was not complicated, and everyone reported the number directly.

Zhou Chen watched the whole process, there was no scene of pretending to be slapped in the face, and there was no scene of fighting head-to-head. The most serious thing was that the two old men exchanged a few words in a strange way. Everyone was basically calm. peaceful.

This is a professional auction, not one that is suspected of money laundering. The possibility of trying to find a leak is too low.

Some people play antiques to get rich, some for the cultural history contained in antiques, and some simply because they like...

But no matter what it is, I like to pick up leaks, but unfortunately, if I want to pick up leaks now, the hope is too slim.

Li Ruiyang participated in the auction for each of the authentic pieces mentioned by Zhou Chen, but unfortunately, nothing was obtained in the end.

It's not that he has no money, but that Zhou Chen stopped him after the price reached a certain position. He didn't want Li Ruiyang to be taken advantage of.

Although Li Ruiyang felt regretful, he still listened to Zhou Chen's judgment. When he finally left with Zhou Chen, he asked Zhou Chen to go to the antique market with him tomorrow, maybe he could pick up something missing.

Zhou Chen naturally agreed wholeheartedly. He was also very interested in the antique market. He had never had the opportunity to interact with it in real life before. Now that he has time, money, and skills, he might go to the antique market and get lucky and pick one up. Big leak.

Li Ruiyang said hello to his friends and left with Zhou Chen. Today's trip, Zhou Chen just came to make soy sauce, but it also gained knowledge in reality, so it was a worthwhile trip.
