My portable world of mixed farmers

Chapter 435 Encounter in Chinatown

Dong Shanhe flew to San Francisco on Saturday, because there was another auction on the weekend night, so Dong Shanhe came one day earlier.

It was Smith who greeted Dong Shanhe, "Smith, what happened these two days? Who is looking for me?" Dong Shanhe asked Smith.

The question of blame has been bothering Dong Shanhe. He really wants to know who is looking for him. Has his secret been discovered by the Americans?Impossible, Dong Shanhe believes that no one will find out.

"Bosses, mainly some bigwigs in the technology circle in Silicon Valley, besides the boss of Tesla whom I met last time, there are also the president of Apple and Mr. Larry Palin, the president of Google, and several others .”

I'm sorry, Dong Shanhe almost jumped up when he heard Smith's words. If Dong Shanhe really would have jumped up in the car, these people, let alone the big shots in the American technology circle, even They are also big names in the world, and the presidents of Huaxia's BAT companies can be compared with them, but the reason why these three companies in Huaxia's success is mainly because Huaxia's plate is big, so their companies have a large market value, but they Don’t be too big with the technology companies in the United States. Simply put, there is no innovation, so Dong Shanhe still looks down on these three companies, even when he had no money back then. Now that he has money, I look down on it even more.

However, if you look down on them, you can look down on them, but Dong Shanhe still admires the founders and presidents of these three companies, because none of these three people made their fortunes by using their relationships to make money, and they all used the technology of foresight.

Although one cheats women's money, one cheats children's money, and the other cheats advertisers' money, it is not a skill to be able to do this.

Dong Shanhe felt that unless he was reborn, even if the opportunity was in front of him, he would not seize it.

"Okay then, after the auction is over, we'll have a detailed exchange with them."

Liu Miaomiao just listened to Dong Shanhe's words quietly, with infinite pride in her heart. Liu Miaomiao knew about the people Smith mentioned just now even if she didn't understand world events. Now her husband can communicate with them. This is not a simple matter. ability.

"Let's go for a stroll in the afternoon." Dong Shanhe said to Liu Miaomiao when he came to the Hilton Hotel.

Unexpectedly, Liu Miaomiao, who used to like shopping very much, did not agree, "I won't go, I'm a little tired, and I have to take care of my son in the room, if you want to go around, go by yourself." Liu Miaomiao said quietly with.

"Then I'll go by myself, and I'll come back early in the evening." Dong Shanhe assured Liu Miaomiao.

"I know." Liu Miaomiao nodded. She really wanted to go shopping, but she knew that this was not a good opportunity, so she directly refused.

After lunch, Liu Miaomiao carried her son into the bedroom to rest. After Dong Shanhe said goodbye to her, he left the room directly.

Just as he was leaving the house, Dong Shanhe saw a figure flashing over the elevator, "This figure looks so familiar." That figure was a middle-aged man, but Dong Shanhe always had a somewhat familiar feeling towards him.

Dong Shanhe mainly wants to visit Chinatown this time, because Chinatown in San Francisco is the second largest Chinatown in the United States, and there are many places that attract him.

Tomorrow night's auction will be dedicated to China, so Dong Shanhe also wants to go to the antique shop in Chinatown to have a look.

Dong Shanhe took a taxi directly to Chinatown. Even though it was a summer afternoon, there were people coming and going in Chinatown at that time, all of them were people.

"Compared to Dillon Town, this place is a bit hotter." But Dong Shanhe could bear the heat, at least it was much better than in China.

Basically, all the stores in Chinatown are run by Chinese people, so there are also a lot of antique stores here. Dong Shanhe randomly found a store named Gu Yuexuan and walked in.

This is a three-story building. After Dong Shanhe walked in, he found that it was very spacious, "It's not that bad, you dare to call it Gu Yuexuan, and you're not afraid to flash your tongue." Dong Shanhe looked around and complained in his heart road.

As long as anyone is familiar with antiques, who doesn't know the three big characters Gu Yuexuan, which is Qianlong's favorite hall name, and he found it in San Francisco's Chinatown on the other side of the ocean.

Dong Shanhe didn't know what to say, as few people in China would dare to use such a name.

Although he was full of dissatisfaction, Dong Shanhe was still watching alone. Whether it was true or false, Dong Shanhe watched very carefully, because Dong Shanhe couldn't tell the truth from the false.

"Young man, have you taken a fancy to this thing?" Just as Dong Shanhe was staring at a plum vase, an older voice came from behind Dong Shanhe.

Dong Shanhe turned around and saw that he was really someone he was familiar with, "Hello Ma, I saw you from a distance just now, and I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect you to be here too." Dong Shanhe stretched out excitedly. Shake hands with Mr. Ma.

"Hello young man, how did you know me?" Mr. Ma asked curiously.

"When I was still in college, I watched the Baijia Forum you lectured on. Later, I also watched your talk show on Youku, so I am very familiar with you." Hearing Dong Shanhe say this, Mr. Ma really did. .

"Young man, thank you for supporting my show." After Ma Lao thanked Dong Shanhe for whipping his corpse, he looked at the things behind Dong Shanhe.

"Oh, I'm so excited that I forgot, Mr. Ma, look at you." Dong Shanhe quickly turned around and gave up his seat to Mr. Ma.

After thanking Mr. Ma, he watched directly, and Dong Shanhe stood beside him silently.

Since he is going to participate in the auction tomorrow, Dong Shanhe also wants to learn some shareholder knowledge. If he has time, Dong Shanhe will of course read some books, but if he can get the guidance of the master, that would be even better.

After watching for about 5 minutes, Mr. Ma stood up straight, "Young man, do you also like antiques?" Mr. Ma saw Dong Shanhe standing beside him silently, looking at him like this, thinking that he might also be a I am a lover of antiques, so I want to chat with Dong Shanhe on a whim.

I came to San Francisco yesterday, and I have to go back in two days, not to mention that I came here alone this time, so Mr. Ma also felt a little boring.

"I just like Chinese traditional culture, not only antiques, I also like other big things, but I don't know anything about antiques." Dong Shanhe told the truth that he really didn't know anything about antiques.

"As long as you are interested, I was also interested in antiques when I was your age, so that I have been in the Shanghai stock market for 40 years." It is said that interest is the best teacher, as long as Dong Shanhe is interested Do it, if you are not interested, it will be difficult.

"That's fine, I'm going to take a good look around Chinatown today. If you have time, you can follow me to take a good look." Ma Lao took a look at Dong Shanhe, and felt that the more he looked at it, the more comfortable he felt.

"That's really thankful to Mr. Ma, thank you so much." Dong Shanhe quickly thanked him.

It is great to be able to get advice from Mr. Ma. Although I am considered a rich man now, compared with Mr. Ma, I am not that rich. He has his own private museum and opened several Branch library, when it comes to being rich, it's really not worse than myself.

Besides, Mr. Ma is also a very good teacher. At least Dong Shanhe knows that Mr. Wang Gang, who was very popular on TV back then, learned antique knowledge from Mr. Ma.

In this way, Dong Shanhe followed Ma Lao, watching him look at the antiques in the antique shop little by little.

"Little Dong, are you from Anhui Province?" Through chatting, Mr. Ma knew that Dong Shanhe was originally from Huaxia, not a banana man from Chinatown.

"I'm from Anhui Province. I came to America at the beginning of this month. Today I had time to go out for a stroll. I didn't expect to meet Teacher Ma." Dong Shanhe was a little surprised. What's wrong with him being from Anhui Province?
"Anhui Province is a good place. I used to go to Anhui Province often." Mr. Ma's words made Dong Shanhe a little puzzled.

"Old Ma, I watched your video. Didn't you say that you often go to Jiangxi, Hebei and Shanxi? When did you go to Anhui Province? Besides, we don't have any famous porcelain in Anhui Province." Dong Shanhe noticed Ma The old words are not at all the same as those in the video.

"At that time, the traffic was not as developed as it is now. I always came to Huizhou by car, and then continued to JDZ." It turned out to be the case.

"Mr. Ma, why did you leave America? How can I save you alone? I heard that your English is not very good. Why did you come here by yourself?" Dong Shanhe knew that Mr. Ma's English was not very good. Well, sometimes it is often necessary to be accompanied by an interpreter.

"Over the years, my English has improved a little bit. At least I can communicate normally. As for this time, I came to San Francisco because there will be a Christie's China auction tomorrow night, and they invited me to come." Ma The old man didn't hide anything, and directly told Dong Shanhe the cause and effect of the matter.

This is not something to be ashamed of, besides, even if you tell Dong Shanhe, it's nothing.

Dong Shanhe was secretly happy, worrying that he would not know the value of buying things tomorrow night, and now a good teacher came out.

"Mr. Ma, it's like this. I'm going to Hilton's auction tomorrow night. I don't know if I can sit with you then?" All of them looked at Mr. Ma expectantly.

"Ah? Are you going to the collection auction too?" Mr. Ma asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes, I was also invited a few days ago. It happened to be fine, so I came, but I don't know the value of antiques at all, so can I sit with you then, please give me a staff ?” Dong Shanhe asked again.

"Okay, you can sit next to me when the time comes, but I still advise you, don't buy things randomly." Code said to Dong Shanhe earnestly.

After chatting and contacting for a period of time, Mr. Ma found that the child in front of him really liked Chinese culture. He could chat with him a lot about traditional literature. It can be seen that he is not bragging, so Mr. Ma is very interested in Chinese culture. Dong Shanhe liked it more and more.

"Mr. Ma, don't worry, I won't make random bids. I don't even know whether the things they sell are real or not, so I plan to take a look at the next time. If you always have any suggestions, you can tell me. Believe in Mr. Ma." Dong Shanhe's words were very serious, and if he believed Mr. Ma, he could see that he really wanted to ask Mr. Ma to help him with this auction.

"Boy, Christie's doesn't sell fake things yet, so you don't have to worry about it. At most, the things they sell are not that valuable." Mr. Ma wanted to laugh, but he really felt Dong Shanhe I don't know much about antiques.

"Really? Are there really no fakes? If so, I can buy two more." Dong Shanhe still couldn't believe it.

"You boy, Christie's is a 300-year-old brand. If selling fake things is what it is, it's not because you smashed your own signboard. Who will trust Christie's in the future? You must know that auction houses sell reputation. If it’s something they don’t know is true or false, they’d rather not put it up for auction than take it up.”

After hearing Ma Lao's words, Dong Shanhe realized that the plots in the novels he had read were fake, and he didn't know the authenticity of an item offered by an auction house. He also said that we don't know the value either. The starting price was only 1 yuan. After waiting for a while, the protagonist paid [-] yuan to buy it, and he was very proud. The people around him looked contemptuous, wondering if this is a fool?How is it possible to buy such a thing.

The truth is that this is not the case at all. The 300-year-old company does not know how many appraisers it has. As long as one appraiser thinks there is a problem with this item, it will not put it up for auction. As for the auction company, they don’t even understand it. If it is something, then it will not be put up for auction. People would rather put it in the basement for decades, and wait until someone knows it before putting it on the auction again, so the plot in the novel can only be thought about.

However, things like picking up leaks are still very common, but they are basically picking up leaks on the street stalls. If you want to pick up leaks from the auction company, don't even think about it.

The two of them turned to the night until the street lights were turned on before going back.

"Mr. Ma, go back. It's getting late. If you want to continue watching, come back tomorrow." Dong Shanhe persuaded. In the afternoon, Mr. Ma was very excited, even more enthusiastic than Dong Shanhe. A few antique shops, but the two of them are empty-handed until now.

"Then go back and watch it tomorrow morning." Mr. Ma looked at the sky and knew it was getting late.

"Where do you live? I'll find you tomorrow." Mr. Ma asked Dong Shanhe as he walked.

"Mr. Ma, I live in the Hilton Hotel." "What, you live in the Hilton Hotel too, that's fine. I live in the Hilton Hotel too. I'll just call you directly tomorrow."

Hearing Ma Lao's words, the doubts in Dong Shanhe's heart were finally resolved, "Let me just say, the familiar figure I saw in front of the elevator must be Ma Lao."
