Falling in love with you, treasure picker

Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang immediately began to carefully examine the handle on the right side of the flat pot. Sure enough, on the pattern on the inside of the handle, he found three extremely small characters - "Boguxuan".

"It's really Boguxuan!" Elder Huang exclaimed again, and then gnashed his teeth and began to curse, "These damned counterfeiters actually want to sell the fakes at the auction, we almost got caught!"

"I'm ashamed..." Professor Han shook his head and sighed, "I thought I was very careful, but I didn't expect to drill the eye. I'm really ashamed, Mr. Cao, don't give me the cost of eye palming this time, I don't have the face to take it. "

"Me too." Elder Huang was also full of guilt.

Seeing this, Shulong said: "Actually, my grandfather and Mr. Qian have both seen this flat pot, and they didn't find any problems. If this is the case, then my grandfather and Mr. Qian's palm-eye fee should not be used. I believe they can do it. understand."

Professor Han nodded and sighed: "For the first inspection, I came with your grandfather. The next day, Mr. Qian and Mr. Huang came over to check again. According to the usual practice, two inspections should be enough. For the sake of safety, Mr. Cao summoned Let's do another re-examination. We thought that with so many of us, we would be absolutely safe after three inspections. We never thought that all three of us would have their eyes pierced, alas..."

Pei Miao comforted him and said, "It's not your fault. Boguxuan's counterfeiting skills are so superb that even an expert can hardly distinguish the real from the fake. My master once said that people who can distinguish Boguxuan's fakes are all over the country. I can't find a slap in the face, it's normal for you to crack down on Boguxuan's porcelain, you can take it with peace of mind, it's what you deserve."

Cao Xiaojin said: "I'll find out who entrusted this thing to sell, just wait a moment."

After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and went to the side to make a call, and he heard him say into the phone: "Hey, you can check the information of the consignor of lot number 0626, and send it to my mobile phone after you find it."

They also all looked at Cao Xiaojin expectantly. This matter is very serious. Fortunately, Pei Miao found out, otherwise it would be easy to cause accidents. The company's first auction sold fake antiques, and the value of pastel porcelain is extremely high, directly catching up with cloisonné ,Once it is revealed that their company auctions fake antiques, this will cause nuclear bomb-level damage to their company's reputation. Even if their company is willing to bear all the compensation, or double the compensation, it is estimated that the effect will be minimal, and the outside world will preconceive that they The company is unreliable, so their first auction will become a farewell auction.

Nowadays, all walks of life are fiercely competitive, and the involution is serious. This fake famille rose porcelain is very likely to be a minefield planted by others in order to deceive their company.

After a while, a photo was sent to Cao Xiaojin's cell phone.

Cao Xiaojin zoomed in on the photo, looked at it for a while, frowned and said, "There is no ID card, and the client is a foreigner."

Pei Miao walked quickly to his side, took the phone and looked at it, sure enough, the ID number column was blank, and the nationality was Bulgaria.

As for the name of the commissioner, it was Thomas Zhou.

Pei Miao frowned slightly and said, "This is a loophole in our company, Cao Xiaojin, you are responsible."

Cao Xiaojin nodded: "Yes, it is my responsibility. I was negligent on this point. In the future, all client information must be registered with real names."

Professor Han excused Cao Xiaojin, saying: "Those big auction companies rarely have a real-name system. In fact, Cao Xiaojin cannot be blamed for this."

Cao Xiaojingang hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, this is my responsibility. He is a big auction company with that background, and most of those auction companies are listed companies from foreign countries or Hong Kong. Our situation is the same as his The difference is that I didn't think carefully."

Pei Miao said: "This time, I will check all the auction items carefully in case there are any mistakes. In the future, I must remember the real-name system."

Cao Xiaojin nodded vigorously: "Well, I get it, don't worry, the company is my lifeblood, I will never allow any accidents, and I will go to check all the houses that are up for auction later, if they are unqualified, all of them will be rejected." shoot."

Pei Miao took out her mobile phone and tried to call the person who held the famille rose porcelain flat pot. The call got through, and the other party spoke the dialect of the Central Plains and asked, "Who is that?"

Pei Miao said: "Hello, this is Mr. Thomas Zhou, right? This is Sanli Auction Company. Last month you consigned an official kiln famille rose porcelain flat pot from the Qianlong period to us for auction."

The other party said coldly: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Pei Miao said: "It's like this, because there are too many consigned items and the quota is limited, I'm afraid your famille rose porcelain flat pot will not be able to be auctioned, so please come to our company to get back your consigned item, in order to express my apology , the reservation deposit we paid to you will be used as compensation to you and will not be taken back, when do you think you have time?"

The other party was silent for a second after hearing the words, then hung up the phone suddenly.

When Pei Miao called back again, the voice reminded that the other party had turned off the phone.

Seeing this, Shulong said: "This guy really deliberately put the fake on the auction."

Cao Xiaojin frowned and said: "It's a pity, if only he could be tricked, I'll call the police and arrest him!"

Pei Miao put the phone back into his trouser pocket, and said, "It's useless. Since he intends to put the fake on the auction, he must be very vigilant. Only when this pastel porcelain flat pot is successfully sold at the auction will he be able to sell it." will show up."

Cao Xiaojin said: "If we had known this, we should have put this fake on the auction block, and then sent our own people to bid a high price to auction it, and then lead him to show up."

Pei Miao said: "You think things are too simple, there is no evidence, no matter how to arrest him, he can completely deduce that he is also a victim, and if he punches his eyes, he can push the responsibility completely away. At that time, he Take this matter out and make a big fuss, saying that we are auctioning fakes, people who don't know the situation will definitely believe it, spread rumors, and refute the rumors."

Professor Han nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's right, what Pei Miao said makes sense. In this situation, we can only defend passively. It is almost impossible to catch the opponent."

Pei Miao waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's continue to look at other things, time is still very tight."

"Okay!" Cao Xiaojin accompanied Pei Miao to continue looking at other things on the shelves.

After visiting the whole antique area, a total of three fakes of Boguxuan were found. Except for the famille rose porcelain flat pot, the other two are: a blue and white porcelain bowl from an official kiln in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty; a fan painting of Tang Bohu .

These three items, if they are genuine, are precious antiques worth more than one million yuan. If these three items are sold at their company's first auction, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Cao Xiaojin felt scared even thinking about it. After he came out of the warehouse, he locked the warehouse door, immediately took two company employees, and drove to inspect the houses that were put up for auction.

Pei Miao wasn't too nervous. Since he had already checked everything in the warehouse, he was safe. He roughly calculated the value of the antiques and jewels that were up for auction this time. It was conservatively estimated that it was more than 10. 10 million, this is a rather terrifying number. For some large auction companies, the total value of a single auction is over [-] million, which is already very high. It is unimaginable to shoot [-] billion worth of antiques and jewelry.

Among these lots, many were provided by Pei Miao himself. For example, a whole set of huanghuali armchairs was put up for auction by him. A similar set of huanghuali armchairs from the Ming Dynasty was sold for 6000 million at Christie's auction. The price is sky-high.

Zhang Daqian's painting was also put up for auction by him, with an estimated price of 9 million, nearly 8 million.

In addition, there are five antiques, all treasures that he missed, and all of them were auctioned in this auction.

Pei Miao also provided a lot of jewelry. Although Chen Wei and Li Xueyang had already bought three or four pieces of the set of glass sky blue jewelry, there are still a few left. But it's a hot item, Li Xueyang's aunt has been looking forward to it.

The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Brush Washer and Taoyuan Sanjieyi Pen Holder, needless to say, there are also some jadeite raw materials, ranging from ice to glass, with a total weight of 23.6 kg and an estimated total value of 1.3 million.

Calculated in this way, the total value of the auction items provided by Pei Miao exceeded 5 million yuan, and the 23.6 kilograms of jadeite he provided was just a drop in the bucket to him. These jadeites were cut out from his first visit to Pingzhou. The jadeite, the rough stones he bought in Pingzhou for the second time, are currently being cut by Afa.

After sending Shulong Huang and the others away, Pei Miao took Ye Xiangnan to the upstairs office area, where Cao Xiaojin set up an office for Pei Miao.

Although this is his office, he has never been here once. It looks very clean. There are only the most basic desks, chairs, sofas and coffee tables. There is not even a computer on the desk. Who asked him to be the shopkeeper.

With nothing else to do, he took out his mobile phone, called Li Xueyang, and told her the date and location of the auction, because Li Xueyang's aunt had been waiting for sky-blue jewelry made of glass, and Pei Miao refused to sell it to her directly. You can only go to the auction to shoot.

Li Xueyang actually wanted to participate in the auction, but her performing arts media company had just been established and was busy recruiting people, so she had no time for a double, so she could only express her regret.

After a while, Ming Jia came. As the director of Sanli Company, Ming Jia heard that Pei Miao, a director, had come to the company, so he naturally wanted to visit him. After the meeting, Ming Jia asked, "Recently, Xu Qiangsheng Don’t answer my phone, saying that he is busy with the task you gave him, and it took a long time to reply to a message, what task did you give him?”

Pei Miao was stunned upon hearing this, and said, "Just...let him cut stones for me."

Ming Jia asked suspiciously, "Why did you ask him to cut stones for you?"

Pei Miao said: "So that he can collect data. He is going to become a master stone gambler, the founder of Dataflow Stone Gambler. I don't need to say more about how important data collection is to him."

Ming Jia was speechless when he heard the words, with a bit of resentment, he said: "He is... when he is serious about things, he doesn't care about anyone."

Pei Miao smiled and said, "You like his abilities, but now you're complaining about his habits?"

"Who is complaining..." Ming Jia changed his words in time, "Who likes him!"

Although she categorically denied it, the red glow on her face had already betrayed her.

Pei Miao smiled without saying a word, Ming Jia gave him a white look, and said, "I'm off to work, I still have a lot of financial statements to verify." After speaking, he turned and left Pei Miao's office.

Ye Xiangnan couldn't stay idle, wandered around the office area, and finally came to the auction practice room. The practice room was not big, about the size of an ordinary classroom, and the layout was similar to a classroom, but it was made into a ladder pattern.

Hou Lanhua stood alone on the stage, simulating to practice the auction lines.

Hou Lanhua was practicing. Ye Xiangnan walked in through the back door, smiled at Hou Lanhua, and sat down in the middle of the third row.

Hou Lanhua saw Ye Xiangnan come in and sit down, without any pause during the whole process, she kept talking, although she was pointing at the air, it seemed as if those things were right in front of her eyes, she spoke clearly and logically, she had to make sure that she was not affected by any In the case of external interference, he can also maintain his own rhythm. One minute on stage, ten years of work off stage, this sentence also applies to auctioneers.

Hou Lanhua pointed to the air on the stage and introduced one lot after another. She spoke clearly and spoke fluently, and she was not a mechanical endorsement. She also paid attention to her body movements and coordinated her expressions. Although Ye Xiangnan was the only audience sitting in front of her, But in her mind, the audience is a sea of ​​people.

Ye Xiangnan listened carefully to Hou Lanhua's talk. When Hou Lanhua mentioned the quotation, Ye Xiangnan also cooperated with her in quoting with different accents, and cooperated with her in the performance. The two cooperated tacitly without any discussion. .

Three hours later, Hou Lanhua finally finished an auction rehearsal. After she bowed and thanked her, Ye Xiangnan stood up and applauded vigorously.

Hou Lanhua came down from the stage, looked at Ye Xiangnan with a smile, and said, "Thank you for your cooperation."

"It should." Ye Xiangnan said with a smile, "It's your hard work that infected me. Sure enough, success is reserved for those who are prepared. If you work so hard, this auction will definitely be a success."

Wearing thousands of clothes, flattering but not wearing, Hou Lanhua smiled and said: "I hope so."

Ye Xiangnan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "It's almost time for dinner, do you have any plans for the evening, if you are free, let's go out for dinner together."

Hou Lanhua also looked at her watch and said, "It's only past four o'clock..."

Ye Xiangnan grinned and said, "I'm afraid that there will be too many people asking you out, so I'll make an appointment in advance."

Hou Lanhua couldn't help laughing when she heard the words: "You are quite good at teasing girls, I warn you, I'm not that good at teasing, I've worked as a model, I've seen a lot of men like you who tease girls everywhere."

Ye Xiangnan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "My family and my friends all treat me as an ignorant child, only you say that I am a man, just for this, I must treat you to dinner!"

Hou Lanhua raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Child? This is the first time I've seen a child weighing more than 100 kilograms."

The two suddenly laughed at the same time.

After chatting so happily, Hou Lanhua naturally agreed to Ye Xiangnan's invitation. Ye Xiangnan immediately called Cao Xiaojin and asked him which restaurant in Jinling was the most suitable for dating. After all, Cao Xiaojin, as a master of flirting in Jinling, should know this best. of.

However, when Cao Xiaojin heard that he was flirting with Hou Lanhua, he immediately told him to leave, let alone flirting with his employees, and came to ask him for advice. He had never seen such a strange thing.
