Live Appreciation, Congratulations to Brother

Chapter 223 It turns out you are this kind of Master Zhang
"Master Zhang, there are still two days left!"

After the literary and entertainment tycoon answered the phone, he couldn't hide the discomfort in his tone.

"It's okay, that Buddha is not in a hurry."

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Hearing Zhang Yang's soft tone, the literary and entertainment tycoon felt bad and quickly defended:

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning and return it directly to the local cultural relics department. Do you think it's okay?"

"There's really no rush."

"Urgent, very urgent. Can I leave later? Just have dinner."

Zhang Yang: "..."

"Okay, then you set off tomorrow morning. I came to you for another matter."

"I heard that you have channels over there that can..."

"Clang~", the sound of a metal spoon falling to the ground came from the other side of the phone.

"I've never used that channel... I swear!" the literary and entertainment tycoon said with confidence.

Zhang Yang looked helpless when he heard this.

He didn't expect that this guy was more sensitive than the super manager in the live broadcast room.

Since he wasn't teasing, he couldn't stand it anymore.

I have no choice but to change my tone of voice:

"Okay! Don't talk about these things."

"I'm looking for you because I want to ask you, have you ever seen anything like this?"

Zhang Yang sent the pictures he had taken in advance.

There was silence on the phone for half a minute.

"This is a funerary object, I'm here to make handicrafts." The cultural toy tycoon replied euphemistically.

"You've never seen it before, right? This is an antique from the Northern Qi Dynasty, more than 500 AD."

"Can your channel transport this thing to Boss Ming?"

In an emergency, Zhang Yang asked in a different way.

If you inquire normally, you will not tell the truth if the other party has anything to do with cultural relics smuggling.

Unless he's in a hurry to go to jail.

"Huh?" The man on the other end of the phone was a little confused: "Master Zhang, are you breaking the law?"

"It's just an ordinary cultural relic, it won't cause any waves." Zhang Yang said in a light tone.

"What, do you doubt my professionalism?" he asked, taking on the role of "general leader".

……

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

The cultural and entertainment tycoon heard Zhang Yang's words and looked at the cultural relics in the photos, and his heart turned upside down.

It turns out that what was said in the barrage in the live broadcast room actually had some truth in it.

Master Zhang, on the surface, looks like a treasure appraiser, but in fact... he is really a tomb robber!
All the details of the live broadcast are correct!

No wonder he mostly broadcasts live during the day because he has to work at night;

He knows about tombs and Feng Shui, even Brother Ping An, who sells tombs, comes to ask him for advice because he wants to visit the tombs;
It seems to have an official status, so if it only sells ordinary cultural relics, it will not be discovered at all;
And those tomb robbers who were caught after fighting with him must have been the surrender certificates he handed over to the people above.

This is the legendary "Great Hermit Hidden in the DPRK"!
"Master, why do you insist on me sending the Buddha's head back?" he asked in confusion.

The answer was:

"After the Buddha's head was stolen, it was upgraded to a third-level cultural relic, and all parties are very concerned."

"Sending it back would be good for everyone."

Reasonable, very reasonable!
"That……"

"Don't ask blindly! Can you tell me now the channel through which the cultural relics are exported?"

Zhang Yang knew that the other party would definitely think of something strange.

But it doesn’t matter, business matters.

"I actually don't know much."

The literary and entertainment tycoon did not hide too much and gave a contact information.

Knowing that gray information is not illegal, he said it with peace of mind.

"I only know that they are using the jade import business as a cover."

"Boss Ming seemed to have called them last time and mentioned that a batch of cultural relics would be leaving the country recently."

"I don't know anything else."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Yang nodded: "For this matter, you..."

"If you beat me, I won't tell anyone." The entertainment tycoon responded. …

The next arrangement is simple.

Contact Deputy Director Zou and ask him to call the police.

Then give this information to the police.

Finally, Mao Shiqi and Cheng Laoer were advised to put the things back in the tomb and notify the local cultural relics department.

"Why don't we get in touch with that group of people?" Mr. Cheng asked Zhang Yang before going to the airport.

He has dealt with this kind of people before, and even brought a few in when he went in.

So he is looking forward to fighting with the current cultural relic dealers.

Zhang Yang’s answer is simple:
"They have wooden warehouses, we can't play with them."

Of course, what he was actually thinking was:
You wouldn’t really want a junior to be an undercover agent for a criminal group like a special soldier, would you?

It was probably tricked, and I don’t know where it was exposed.

Zhang Yang felt that it was enough to fulfill his obligations.

The most important thing right now is the auction.

There are still three days left before the scheduled auction preview, and all treasure appraisal activities in the audition stage have ended.

Now it’s time to count the auction items, draw up a list of auction items, and work with Zhou Baotan to determine the cultural relics that need to be declared to customs.

This work is mainly done by people from auction companies.

Zhang Yang only needs to be by his side and act as a consultant quietly.

Soon, the auction items of [Chinese calligraphy and painting] [[-]th century and contemporary art] [porcelain and antiques] [classical furniture and crafts] [stamps, coins and rare ancient books] were confirmed one by one.

It’s the turn of [Jewelry and Jade Accessories].

This link is quite important.

It is not an exaggeration to even say that this is the main way for the auction house to make money.

A very important reason is: except for a small amount of Ming and Qing jades, many jade jewelry command very high premiums at auctions.

Take the ice jade ornament in front of Zhang Yang, which is about the same height as a Red Bull can, as an example:
It is said that this is the work of Master Qi, the most famous master in Guangdong Province.

The starting price set by the auction house is directly based on the same quality ornaments, with a premium of 80% to show respect for the master.

As long as someone bids, the auction house will easily make money.

Buyers are also happy to buy such things because they have auction records and are easy to sell.

“There’s a little bit of stuff!”

Manager Zhao and Zhang Yanghui, who are responsible for registering the auction items at the auction house, report.

"Isn't this what you prepared? Why are you asking me?" Zhang Yang asked, pointing to the pieces of jade jewelry in front of him.

The jadeite is basically sent by the cooperative brands of Shenghai Yongxing Auction Company.

Specially used for leeks.

Zhang Yang specifically said in the live broadcast group to ask friends to stop taking pictures of these things.

This is for wealthy businessmen and ladies in Guangdong Province, and the price/performance ratio is average.

"That's not what I meant. Director Zhang, you misunderstood."

Manager Zhao quietly took out a business card from his inner pocket and handed it to Zhang Yang.

The green business card reads:

[Sijia International Jadeite Co., Ltd., sales manager Cao Jiayun]

Isn't this the sweet-looking, hard-working Miss Cao?
Zhang Yang still has a vivid memory of her...the huge female anchor under his control.

Manager Zhao on the side has already begun to introduce:

"This Miss Cao is a very famous female auctioneer in the jade industry in Guangdong Province."

"She has a lot of imperial green Burmese jade resources, which are very suitable for our auction."

“It’s definitely going to be a huge hit!”

"Then why don't you come?" Zhang Yang spread his hands and asked, "Are you no longer interested in money?"

"Well..." Manager Zhao hesitated and said, "The headquarters has an agreement with the current jade supplier and cannot do this."

"But if you make the request, you can bypass this agreement."

"We will split the profit at that time [-]/[-]!"

"Who is five?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Ah?" Manager Zhao scratched the back of his head: "[-]/[-], which means half and half."

"I know, I mean, is it half for me alone, or do you and Miss Cao together account for half?"
