Chapter 64 Ancient Paintings
The auctioneer job seems simple on the surface, but it is nothing more than standing on the three-foot platform and making a witty comment. Once the hammer falls, the price of millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions will be released. In fact, there are many tricks inside.
Being familiar with the basic auction rules and auctioneer methods is just the basics. In addition, you also need to have professional knowledge and vision, and be clear about policies and regulations. More importantly, your connections are your connections.
No matter what is auctioned, the items sold are not cabbages, they can be picked up at will. In addition, there are many auction houses, if there is no network of connections, it will be useless. Those who can shout out hundreds of millions of dollars in popularity are a minority, and most of them are still struggling on the food and clothing line, which is just a mess. In Yu Sanyuan's words, it is "cannon fodder."
When the hammer sounds, it’s worth ten thousand taels of gold. This sounds nice, but it depends on who it is.
But to be fair, the job Yu Sanyuan found for Xiao Yao is indeed good, with a high starting point and a good platform. A large auction company like Hanxiang is obviously countless times stronger than the bag company that started with a few people renting a room of dozens of square meters. Although he is an apprentice, he can learn something when he goes in, which is also the reason why Zhang Yunfei agreed.
As for Xiao Yao, no matter how much he agreed, the reason he agreed was entirely because of his hobby in the antique industry, and this thing can make money.
Since I bought the water bowl, Xiao Yao felt that the money in this industry was too fast. As long as you have a look, there would be no problem. In this look, it is something that I am extremely scarce. I can't open my eyes for three days. If I do this too much, Xiao Yao himself feels that there may be no good results.
Therefore, it is a good choice to be able to enter the auction house to learn from scratch.
After the three of them agreed to Xiao Yao’s work, the atmosphere at the table eased a lot. Yu Sanyuan and Zhang Yunfei also drank a lot, and the two of them could talk some gossip.
"Brother Heizi, I have something to ask for your help." Yu Sanyuan filled Zhang Yunfei with a glass of wine and whispered.
"You kid doesn't do a loss-making business. You're just looking for me, and you're going to find me, what's the matter?" Zhang Yunfei said with a smile.
Yu Sanyuan closed the door of the private room and his face became serious: "That's the case, do you know what Li Jianguo is doing?"
"Why don't you know? The newspapers and TV say every day that the three-year-old kid in Lucheng knows it."
Yu Sanyuan whispered: "That's right. Now the other procedures of the task force have been completed, and Li Jianguo himself has also been investigated and interrogated. Li Jianguo is extremely smart. The various evidence we have at hand now cannot be knocked down by one blow. Moreover, this guy is very tough and said that it was framed by others and refused to admit it. So the only thing that can convict him now is the stolen goods found in his home. This is very likely the key to determining Li Jianguo's final fate."
Zhang Yunfei didn't say anything, nodded, signaling Yu Sanyuan to continue.
"The deposit in Li Jianguo's account is no less than ten million, but this guy didn't move any of it. During the interrogation, he said that Yang Shaoze had placed it in his place. They were friends. Yang Shaoze also said the same thing. As for the real estate land of Yang Shaoze company he approved, they were all his secretary-in-chief. Li Jianguo refused that he didn't know the matter, and we couldn't find a handle. The only thing that could be confirmed was the stolen goods in his home."
"These stolen goods are very complicated, including high-end foreign wine, clothing, antique calligraphy and paintings. The most important one is the picture of Tang Bohu, a lady given to him by Yang Shaoze. Other things are not very valuable. If this ancient painting can be determined to be authentic, then Li Jianguo will be finished. After all, this painting is worth millions. With one item alone, he will have no chance of turning over again."
Zhang Yunfei said: "Would you ask me to identify the painting when you asked me to do something?"
Yu Sanyuan nodded and said, "It was simple originally, so I could just find a few experts to see it, but now the water is too deep. Li Jianguo is the deputy mayor, and he had a good future. He had a backstage. But the reason why he was so unlucky this time was that someone was determined to knock him down. The other party was not an ordinary person. So these two forces are now fighting openly and secretly, and they are everywhere. I don't feel at ease to find others."
"Brother Heizi, you are a famous Zhang Yiyan in the Lucheng antique industry. No one dares to say anything about professional knowledge. We know the truth. You have to help me with this busyness." It can be seen that Yu Sanyuan is under great pressure.
Zhang Yunfei pondered for a moment, squinted his eyes at Yu Sanyuan, and said meaningfully: "Then did you ask me to tell me whether the painting is real or fake?"
When the little demon heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Damn, my real father is not as dumb as usual.
This ancient painting determines Li Jianguo's fate. Whether it is true or false. For the senior management of Lucheng, it will definitely produce different results, and it will naturally cause a huge shock.
The appraisal of the painting is entirely decided by the appraiser. In other words, Zhang Yunfei, who is an ordinary person on weekdays, has become a key figure in determining the direction of the Lucheng earthquake.
Yu Sanyuan smiled and said, "How can I say this? Brother Heizi, you can just look at it from your perspective."
Yu Sanyuan did not reveal it, but kicked the ball to Zhang Yunfei. But despite this, the little demon could hear that Yu Sanyuan still hoped that the painting was real.
No matter what, he is the person in charge of the task force. If he defeats Li Jianguo like the number one awesome person, it will be beneficial to his future.
"Since this appraisal is so important, I must not be alone, right?" Zhang Yunfei said.
Yu Sanyuan agreed: "In addition to you, there are two more, these two, both of which are from BJ. One is an ancient painting expert at the Palace Museum, and the other is an old expert at the Cultural Relics Association. There is no need to say about the professional level. The appraisal results must be combined with the opinions of the three of you."
"So that's it." Zhang Yunfei took a deep breath and said, "There will be no danger inside, right? I am not afraid of anything, but I have to take care of the little demon now."
Yu Sanyuan understood what Zhang Yunfei meant and said, "Don't worry, the list of three of you belongs to the secrets of the task force. Apart from me, few people know about it, so naturally no one is in trouble for you."
"Then I'll feel relieved." Zhang Yunfei drank a glass of wine and said, "Yes, I promise you to watch you help the little demon."
"After all, Brother Heizi, thank you for this matter!" Yu Sanyuan was very happy and picked up the wine and toasted Zhang Yunfei with a glass.
The little demon next to him smiled wickedly: "Uncle Second, I have nothing to say to help. My dad can't do this job in vain!"
"You little bastard!" Yu Sanyuan was so amused and slapped the little demon and said, "Of course, it can't be done in vain. The appraisal fee is 20,000 yuan per person, haha."
"So little!?" The little demon was very disappointed.
Yu Sanyuan opened his eyes: "These 20,000 are already specially approved! It was only a few thousand."
"So stingy." The little demon muttered.
The wine was drunk in the middle of the night. After drinking, Yu Sanyuan sent Xiao Yao and his son back to Zhengyiju. He agreed to take Xiao Yao to Hanxiang Auction the next day and report to Zhang Yunfei. He then reminded Zhang Yunfei before going back.
As soon as Yu Sanyuan left, Xiao Yao pulled his father into the house.
"Dad, I think you shouldn't agree to your second uncle in this matter." The little demon was a little worried.
"You think this matter is unstable, right?" Zhang Yunfei smiled faintly, as if he knew what Xiao Yao was thinking very well. He lit a cigarette and said, "Your father is not a fool. This matter involves Li Jianguo and a big shock in Lucheng. The water is too deep and it buried many people that we ordinary people can't afford to offend. A painting determines the fate of many people, so the person who appraised will definitely receive special care."
Zhang Yunfei deliberately emphasized the tone of the four words "special care".
This is exactly what the little demon is worried about.
For the little demon father and son, let alone the awesome characters in the water, any small character can make the father and the father suffer. This water is really unbearable.
"Dad, since you know, why do you agree?" Xiao Yao didn't understand.
Zhang Yunfei raised his head, looked at the son in front of him, and said lightly after a long time, "Because of this painting, I think I'm very likely to have used it!
