Live Appreciation, Congratulations to Brother

After understanding the reason why Christie's was in trouble, Zhang Yang became more confident in his career.

Although both are auctions, there are fundamental differences between Zhang Yang's auction and Christie's.

Christie's is helping the former robbers to reap the second harvest of domestic wealth.

And Zhang Yang is collecting lost treasures among the people to prevent the pearls from gathering dust.

Comparing the two, the verdict is clear!

Correspondingly, Zhang Yang also had a question mark in his mind about the prospects of Christie's in China.

Maybe when they can realize that they need to collect auction items domestically, the relevant restrictions will be relaxed.

But then, Christie's would be a direct competitor to Zhang Yang.

So although he was clear in his heart, Zhang Yang had no intention of reminding Shen Yangling and the others.

Just continue to help and go through these pre-selected lots.

I have to say that there are really many rare porcelains on the list.

None of the antiques plundered from the country by Europeans in the last century was bad.

But although the auction items are all expensive, there are few that really make Zhang Yang’s eyes shine.

What was being turned over were porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and old furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Watching this kind of thing is not as interesting as the fake national treasure at the audition.

But at the end of the day, I finally found something good:
A pair of white jade cards from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

On the front of each jade plaque are written four large seal script characters: "Dragon and Phoenix present auspiciousness";
The back is based on the sea water and river cliff pattern, and is engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns respectively.

This thing is simply tailor-made for newlyweds.

"Have you set a time for this auction?"

Zhang Yang suddenly thought that he had to prepare a wedding gift for his eldest brother.

It must not only be worthy of the other person's worth, but also be consistent with your own identity.

It's best to have some connotation.

Such things are hard to find, but the pair of jade tokens in front of you are pretty good.

"Oh?"

Shen Yangling's beautiful eyes fell on Zhang Yang's face, and she asked him with a smile:

"Director Zhang is interested in this auction?"

"Of course, but I didn't mean to use the back door. I just wanted to check whether it was too late."

"I understand. Director Zhang, please wait a moment while I communicate."

Shen Yangling's answer was a little confusing.

I’m asking you when the auction will be held. Do you need to confirm any information?

But seeing that she did take out her phone, as if she was looking at some document, Zhang Yang quietly waited patiently.

After a while, Shen Yangling raised her head and gave Zhang Yang a standard smile.

"Director Zhang, I have communicated with the auctioneer here. If you want to buy it, he is willing to sell it to you according to our estimated price."

"Sell it directly? Is this still possible?"

Zhang Yang is already ready to go to Shenghai to participate in the auction.

Then you told me that we can give and receive privately?

That’s too much of a favor, Miss Shen.

"Yes, there has been precedent for such a thing before, but it was not in a warehouse, but at the preview venue."

"Director Zhang, what do you think?" Shen Yangling asked.

"Of course I have no objection to this price."

Zhang Yang almost took out his mobile phone and paid directly.

But just sending it out like this is almost meaningless.

There happens to be a huanghuali box from the Qing Dynasty in the museum, which is covered with a layer of Shu brocade cloth, which can be used to hold this pair of jade bis.

……

Time flies and it’s May.

Linzhou Binhai Hotel.

Final preparations are being made for Chen Yanguang's wedding.

Of course, Zhang Yang couldn't escape the job of being the best man.

But during the rehearsal, the makeup artist suddenly discovered a problem.

This best man named Zhang is a bit stealing the limelight!
Zhang Yang also saw the makeup artist's dilemma and took the initiative to find Chen Yanguang and said:

"If not, I will be the witness."

"Anyway, my Mandarin is very good, and I can also speak with a broadcasting accent."

Before Chen Yanguang had time to express his opinion, Cheng Shihui on the side rejected Zhang Yang:
"Zhang Yang, you must be the best man."

"Otherwise my little sisters won't let me go."

"really."

Chen Yanguang also nodded and pursed his lips towards the distance.

Indicated to Zhang Yang to take a look. At the wine table, the two best men, Wei Fuguang and Huang Bin, were pestering the two bridesmaids, beaming as if they were telling a joke.

But judging by the bridesmaid's reaction, it should be a cold joke.

Both of them smiled reluctantly.

"Brother Yang, look at them, and look at you, you have to help me hold up the place."

When Chen Yanguang said this, Zhang Yang suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

"Okay, don't worry."

"I'll ask Sister Gao to give me some instructions later."

When it comes to makeup, it has to be Sister Gao, and Andy Lau can be transformed into Ma Dehua by her.

There were still two hours before the banquet started, when Zhang Yang finally met Mr. Cheng.

He had just returned from Egypt.

After not seeing each other for so long, Mr. Cheng looks a lot older, but his eyes are more energetic than before.

And he is the kind of person who doesn't hesitate to do anything.

After greeting his daughter and son-in-law, the first thing he did was to catch up with Zhang Yang.

The first sentence he spoke was explosive:

"Zhang Yang, Mao Shiqi was arrested in Egypt!"

"what?"

Zhang Yang felt that it hadn't been long since he and Mao Tugong were separated. He was sent to jail too quickly.

"Did he go to Egypt to dig the pyramids? How could he still be caught?"

Zhang Yang asked half-jokingly.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Cheng nodded very seriously.

"This matter actually depends on me."

"I went to Egypt as a tourist, and once I had a sudden idea to calculate the Feng Shui of the pyramids."

"In the end, what do you think I figured out?"

"How could I have guessed this..."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said in his heart: At this time, Second Master, please stop showing off.

"Nothing figured out."

Cheng Erye smiled and told Zhang Yang:
"I told Mao Shiqi that the Egyptians buried them randomly and there was no pattern at all."

"But he thought it was because of my poor skills and said he would definitely be able to find the pattern."

"About half a month ago, he told me that he had found a wild pyramid that had not been excavated yet, and he was going to dig in and take a look."

"As a result, a week ago, the lawyer he paid for contacted me and said that he had been locked up by the Egyptian police."

"I'll go!" Zhang Yang sighed.

It turns out that Mao Tugong left without saying goodbye because he wanted to experience prison life abroad.

However, the prison environment in Egypt is probably far less good than that in China.

"Then did he dig up anything?"

"It seems that several cat mummies were dug up. There must be no mummy of the pharaoh, otherwise his lawyer should be more anxious."

Seeing the relaxed look on Mr. Cheng's face, Zhang Yang guessed that he had taken care of things before he came back.

The same is true.

Mao Tugong is expected to suffer for several months before being deported.

"I'll be back this time."

Mr. Cheng took a sip of water, pointed in the direction of the newlyweds, and said with a smile:
"Other than attending their wedding."

"What's more important is to organize a global treasure-digging team."

"I have discovered many ancient sites in Tajikistan, Iran, Egypt and Greece."

"And the kind that has never been discovered."

"Isn't this... not a legal risk?" Zhang Yang asked in a low voice.

"It used to be, but now..."

Cheng Erye smiled and twirled his fingers.

"As long as you give money, the local police don't care at all. I have already asked in advance."

"When the time comes, the things dug out will still depend on you Zhang Zhang..."

"No problem." Zhang Yang agreed.

He knew what Mr. Cheng had left unfinished.

Seeing the other party's complacent look, Zhang Yang hesitated whether to tell him:

He and Chen Yanguang will soon leave for England.

And it’s also a big deal.

The target this time is one of the precious collections of the British Museum that Hedong Group has been preparing for more than half a year and is bound to win - the Chenghua Colorful Chicken Cup!
