I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Chapter 219 Dad is still next door

Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, who were standing by, watched all this and felt a pang of sadness in their hearts.

Ye Ming also noticed the announcement. He just glanced at it casually and threw it into the trash can.

He knew that any conspiracy would not last long, and that the Foley Auction House was just holding on, and would suffer the consequences sooner or later.

"I don't care whether this bottle is real or fake, just sell it and redeem the property deed!"

Yu Li's voice gradually became higher.

After learning that the bottle might be a fake, her inner pressure increased dramatically.

"Keep your voice down, Dad is next door!"

Yan Jiecheng was startled by her sudden high-pitched voice.

After questioning the appraisal results of Changze Appraisal Office, he calmed down.

"If you don't believe me, we can go to the Foley Auction House and ask again. If it's a fake, they can't be unaware of it, right?"

Yan Jiecheng proposed a solution.

It is said that Foley Auction House has also stated that anyone who holds an appraisal certificate from Foley Auction House can have it re-appraised free of charge.

"How could Changze Lian Appraisal make a mistake?"

Yu Li frowned, still finding it hard to accept the reality.

The appraisal certificate clearly stated the method of counterfeiting this flower-mouth vase.

She had also seen many counterfeiting methods at the Changze Auction House, and she was really unsure at the moment.

"Since we've already been to Changze for appraisal, why not go to Foley's auction house?"

Yan Jiecheng persuaded patiently.

If counterfeits had not been rampant in the market, he would not have fallen into this predicament.

"I think we should try to sell it first!"

Yu Li frowned, still feeling reluctant.

Confirming again that it is a fake from somewhere else would only make her feel worse, so it would be better for her to try her best to find a buyer.

"If Foley Auction House confirms that the appraisal certificate is correct, will you still worry about not being able to sell the item?"

Yan Jiecheng said with a hint of reproach.

He thought that Yu Li, as a woman, was too timid about such matters.

Yan Jiecheng brought a Qing Daoguang Doucai Tuanlong Flower-mouth Vase to the Foley Auction House for appraisal and was soon warmly received.

Foley Auction House keeps records of all items sold at previous auctions, and the staff quickly verified that this was the item sold at the first auction.

The auction house has a complete internal handling mechanism for such situations.

"Sir, the Qing Daoguang Doucai Tuanlong Flower Mouth Vase you brought has been authenticated by our auction house as an authentic item, and the authentication certificate is also valid. Do you have any other needs?"

The staff member respectfully handed the flower-mouth vase back to Yan Jiecheng with both hands.

Yan Jiecheng showed a look of delight, but Yu Li on the side pinched him secretly, indicating that she had something to say.

"Here, this is the appraisal certificate we got from Changze Appraisal Office. Why does it say "handicraft" on it?"

Yan Jiecheng also displayed the appraisal certificate issued by Changze Appraisal Company.

The staff took it, checked it, and then returned it.

"Sir, Changze Auction House and Changze Appraisal House are in competition with our Fulai Auction House, so the credibility of this appraisal certificate must be treated with caution."

Hearing the staff's explanation, Yan Jiecheng glanced at Yu Li with a smug look, as if to say, "See, I told you there was something wrong with Changze Appraisal Agency!"

However, Yu Li did not pay attention to Yan Jiecheng's expression, but continued to ask the staff:

"Can we sell this bottle directly to the auction house?"

Yu Li doesn't care whether the bottle is authentic or not, she only cares whether it can be sold successfully.

“Yes, Foley Auction House provides a buyback service, but we will buy it back at the original transaction price and deduct the corresponding handling fee.

Your Qing Daoguang Doucai Tuanlong Flower Mouth Vase was originally sold for 90,000 Chinese Yuan. Even though the current market price has risen to 150,000 Chinese Yuan, we can only buy it back at 90,000 Chinese Yuan. Do you need to go through the repurchase procedures now?"

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng immediately stopped Yu Li who was about to agree.

"I bought this bottle for 120,000 yuan. Now I'm selling it back for 90,000 yuan. Isn't that a loss of 30,000 yuan? And according to the market price, the loss is even greater!"

Yu Li looked at the bottle with an uneasy look on her face and insisted:

"I don't want the house anymore!"

Yan Jiecheng became anxious when he heard this:

"Everyone says this is a genuine product. The market price is 150,000, but you sold it for 90,000. Isn't this a waste of money?"

With the recognition from Foley Auction House, Yan Jiecheng’s confidence was rekindled.

"It's up to you. I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong!"

Yu Li was full of complaints and turned away from the auction house.

"Dad always said that only girls and villains are hard to raise. It's absolutely true!"

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yu Li's departing back, muttering to himself.

"Sorry to trouble you, it's nothing!"

Yan Jiecheng apologized to the staff beside him with a smile, and then carefully put the bottle back into the brocade box.

"Sir, this is what we should do. Have a nice day!"

The staff seemed well-trained.

Yan Jiecheng nodded with satisfaction and left the Foley Auction House.

As long as the auction house accepts recycling, the loss will not be too great even if it fails to sell in the end.

Time slowly passes to the Lantern Festival.

The most eye-catching part of the day is undoubtedly the night, when people eat rice dumplings, enjoy lanterns, and guess lantern riddles.

However, the daytime is just as lively.

Ye Ming led his family to the square to watch dragon and lion dances and stilt performances.

As the exciting and loud sounds of gongs and drums rang out, a colorful dragon flew and leaped in the venue, stirring up the enthusiasm of the audience.

The performers are dressed in brightly colored dragon robes and waving giant dragons in their hands.

The actions displayed, such as the dragon emerging from the abyss, galloping through the air, and traveling around the world, are dazzling and bring joy to the heart.

Lion dancing is more thrilling than dragon dancing. There are several pillars in the venue, on which the lion dancers jump, blink, throw and catch hydrangeas, and even recite couplets.

Whenever a wonderful moment appears, the people in the square will burst into cheers.

Ye Ming lifted his daughter onto his shoulders and let her sit on his shoulders to watch the performance.

It was not until the stilt-walking show began that he held his daughter in his arms.

The stilt performers dress up as various characters such as fisherman, matchmaker, naive young man, waiter, Taoist nun, monk, etc.

Their costumes are humorous and interesting, making people smile happily.

Before long, these folk art performances may fade out of history.

At the same time, Jinchangsheng Restaurant was also a prosperous scene.

A banner was hung outside the restaurant - Foley Auction House Banquet.

At ten o'clock in the morning, two strings of firecrackers were set off in front of the door.

Not long after, a number of luxury cars stopped at the gate of Jin Changsheng.

Qin Jingru and Su Meng stood at the door, welcoming the guests with smiles.

At noon, the banquet officially kicked off.

Li Huaide appeared in front of everyone with a happy face.

“Thank you for coming to this banquet despite all the negative rumors. This is a great trust in our auction house.”

"Oh, Mr. Li, you are too serious. Since your auction house has decided to take back the items, it has already proved many problems."
