108: Tianguang Auction House "Sister Qin, why haven't you come to see Xiaoyu for so long!"

Lin Yu, who was like an elf, stopped suddenly, looked at Qin Feiyu with those big round eyes, and asked one after another: "Also, why did sister Qin bump into brother so coincidentally? Could it be that you also Do you live nearby?"

Although the age difference between Qin Feiyu and Lin Yu is 5 years, their relationship is based on half-teacher-student, half-friend relationship. After several months of tempering, they are so good that they can be described as "girlfriends".

However, the previous matter was more complicated, so Qin Feiyu could only focus on the key points: "Although my sister has earned enough tuition fees for the next school year, the living expenses have not yet been settled, so my sister found a part-time job in a nearby flower shop during the holidays." , hoping to earn enough living expenses for the next semester."

Lin Yu laughed and said, "Sister Qin, is your salary high? If it's high, you can invite me to McDonald's when you get paid!"

"no problem!"

Qin Feiyu didn't dare to say that she was only working part-time temporarily, and she was just a small temporary shop assistant. She didn't even have a basic sales commission, and her salary was very low.

Lin Tiancheng, whose eyes became more and more vicious, saw the embarrassment and reluctance in Qin Feiyu's eyes, and asked, "Feiyu, you taught Xiaoyu so well before, and we haven't thanked you yet. How about How about this, you continue to help Xiaoyu with tutoring, and the salary is still the same as before, what do you think?"

"Uncle, don't embarrass me."

Qin Feiyu looked at Lin Li with a wry smile, and said, "There is a majestic number one in the college entrance examination, so there is no room for me to play."

Lin Li really wanted to be able to see Qin Feiyu no matter what happened, so he said: "People who can read may not be able to teach, and my learning style is learned by ordinary people, at least Xiao Yu can't learn it."

"She wants to learn, but I still don't give it!"

Speaking of this, Lin Tiancheng got angry and blamed: "Where is there a person like you who still runs around before the college entrance examination, betting on stones, playing with antiques, practicing martial arts and writing calligraphy, and even went to Yun Province to have conflicts with others .If Lin Yu learns from you, I will confine you directly!"

Lin Li was sweating profusely, while Lin Yu lowered his head and secretly stuck out his little tongue at Qin Feiyu who was smiling wryly.

Lin Tiancheng then sent out another invitation, but this time he added a bargaining chip: "Also, if you accumulate experience, you can still work in our company as a financial manager! Now I am alone in handling all the financial affairs. , The burden is quite heavy, and I need someone to share it for me."

"Thank you uncle for your appreciation, then Feiyu would be more respectful than obedient!"

Qin Feiyu didn't know that it was the Lin family who supported him, so he thanked him sincerely.

"Great!"

The happy Lin Yu jumped up excitedly, and quickly gave Lin Tiancheng a piece of fish, and said, "Dad is so kind, this piece of fresh fish is a reward for you."

Lin Tiancheng smiled triumphantly.

Lin Li said dissatisfiedly: "I've worked so hard, but I didn't even give you a reward, and even used my hard work to borrow flowers and present Buddha. You really deserve it."

"Okay, okay, brother, don't be sour, this is for you!"

The well-behaved Lin Yu immediately clipped a piece for Lin Li.

Haha ...

There was a lot of laughter and joy.

……

……

The next day.

Lin Li, who was still imitating the original calligraphy, was interrupted and even dragged out of the house by force.

The reason is also very simple, the shameless Lin Li actually forgot the agreement with Mr. Xie, forcing Mr. Xie to bring Bi Han to the door himself and drag people on the road.

Yes, today is the first auction of Skylight Auction House.

At the Jingyi Building back then, Lin Li agreed to Mr. Xie's invitation and went there with Bi Han to help Zhangyan.Lin Li didn't want to forget about it when there were too many things.

Lin Li, who was filled with guilt, naturally did not dare to complain at all, and followed him obediently.

The opening of Tianguang Auction House was indeed grand. Not only did many celebrities in the antique world be invited, but even Mr. Jiang, who had a high status in the local area, was also invited.Interestingly, Lin Li also saw Gu Xiaojing's friend, Nina, a blonde and sexy beauty with a hot figure.

But Lin Li saw that they were busy, so he didn't bother them, and chose to hide their strength and bide their time.

"Today's ceremony is really grand!"

Mr. Xie started to sigh as soon as he sat down.

Even though he is a celebrity in Antique Street, he is an insignificant person here, and he can only stand aside to congratulate him, even the branch manager of Tianguang Auction House can't be seen.

Bi Han met so many good people in the Tianfu Club, they were not much inferior to today's lineup, but he didn't feel anything, just echoed a few words indifferently.

"Here, this is today's illustration book!"

Mr. Xie asked for three illustrated books and sent them to Bi Han and Lin Li respectively.

Lin Li glanced at it hastily, and found that there were not many things that excited him, so he said: "Although each piece is a high-quality product, it lacks the treasure that can resist the tripod."

Mr. Xie replied: "The treasures at the finale level must remain mysterious, and naturally they cannot be revealed at will. They are recorded in this kind of illustration book that can be seen by all guests. Also, even if there are heavy treasures, can we take them down? ? You must know that the current treasures are ridiculously rare, and any one of them must be in units of tens of millions."

"It may not be impossible to take it down."

If there is an opportunity to miss it, Lin Li will naturally not miss it.

Mr. Xie looked at Lin Li suspiciously.

He only knew that Lin Li was well-off, but he didn't know how well-off he was.The most important thing is that in his memory, Lin Li has never been a rich man, and it is not easy to overturn this impression.Naturally, Mr. Xie simply took Lin Li's words as words of fighting spirit and ignored them.

But Bi Han suddenly pointed to a place near the front, and said in surprise: "Hey, look there, isn't that Mr. Ma's business alliance—Mr. Li, an American overseas Chinese?"

"Elder Ma?"

Lin Li hesitated for a moment, and immediately remembered that old Ma who had bought a restored Qing Qianlong blue and white plate from them.Lin Li still remembered that Ma Lao was the founder of Tianhe Auction House.

Tianguang Auction House is a dragon that has crossed the river, and it will definitely have an impact on the business of Tianhe Auction House.As the business alliance of Tianhe Auction House, it should naturally stand on Tianhe Auction House's side.

It's a bit weird to be here.

But when Lin Li saw more clearly, he found that Nina was sitting next to Mr. Li, and her attitude was very intimate. It seemed that the relationship was not simple.

Bi Han also noticed the existence of Nina, and exclaimed: "That blonde beauty is hot enough. Not only is her figure impeccably good, but her face is also first-class. She is the best that is rare."

Mr. Xie analyzed: "The woman's clothes are sexy, not a reasonable dress for a secretary, but she seems to have come to visit and play."

Lin Li didn't know Nina's specific identity, so he didn't want to comment on it. He just said, "Looking at their age, they should be father and daughter. But that's their business, we don't want to make random comments."

Hearing this, Bi Han and Mr. Xie returned to their senses and continued their discussion.

Bi Han took the lead in researching: "According to the concept of a good start, even if the first auction item is not a heavy weapon, it must be a rare treasure. However, the auction item of Tianguang Auction House seems a bit ordinary, unlike their mighty There is a big difference in momentum.”

Mr. Xie said: "I feel that it is not ordinary."

The two had objections, and finally looked at Lin Li.

Lin Li looked at the first auction item in the illustrated book.Straight mouth, long neck, sloping shoulders, flattened belly, and round feet are typical celestial bottles.Lin Li had a special idea about this kind of ornamental vase influenced by West Asian culture, but he could only say with a wry smile because of the scene: "This is the standard Qing Qianlong copper-bodied cloisonné enamel porcelain, and it is also a royal palace. Porcelain is naturally of high value. However, the frequency of Qing Qianlong porcelain in recent years has been too high, which has tortured the market without any new ideas, so it is no wonder that Brother Bi Han has such a statement."

"correct!"

"That's right!"

Bi Han and Mr. Xie agreed one after another.

But Mr. Xie then said: "The ground of the whole vessel is peacock green glaze, and the glaze surface is made of filigree copper wires to form a geometric brocade ground, and the main pattern patterns such as nine peaches and flowers are painted with colored glaze. The peach fruit is outlined with copper wires. Although this Tianqiu vase is made of copper, its shape comes from porcelain, which is more full of different ethnic styles, relatively rare, and it is not rude to use it as an opening gimmick.”

Bi Han nodded and said: "In terms of decorative patterns, the traditional flower pattern is still the pattern of enamelware. The pattern of this Tianqiu vase is the traditional Chinese pattern of nine peaches. Besides, nine and long have the same pronunciation, peach It symbolizes longevity and implies health and auspiciousness. Such a combination is really a bit of a gimmick.”

Lin Li smiled and asked: "Do you think there is a market for this thing? What kind of price can it be auctioned for?"

Mr. Xie replied with a smile: "I don't know if there is a market, but I know it can fetch at least 30 yuan."

Bi Han sneered and said: "30, Mr. Xie is too ignorant of the market. I remember that a few months ago, there was a copper cloisonné enamel produced by an official kiln that was not used by the palace, and it was not auspicious. The Nine Peach Tianqiu Vase can also fetch a high price of 30 yuan. With its rare shape and auspicious pattern, it is not a problem to sell twice as much.”

"Double, that's not necessarily the case, but the price really won't be that low."

If it was only sold for 30 yuan, Lin Li would grab it without saying a word.And he also knows that with the continuous development of antiques, antiques will also become popular investment products, with higher and higher values.It is very likely that an antique bought for only 30 today will become an antique worth 3 or even 4 million in three or four years.

It's just that Lin Li is an invited appraiser, if he competes with Mr. Xie, it will be unreasonable.

"Dear ladies and gentlemen..."

At some point, the auctioneer in a white suit had already stood on the auction stage and started his performance.

Mr. Xie sighed and said: "We came late, so we didn't have the opportunity to study these things that are about to be auctioned first. Now we are in a hurry, not looking for mistakes, just want to win one at a reasonable price, and use it as the town hall of Jingyi Building. The treasure of the building."

It was only then that Lin Li realized the root cause of Mr. Xie's importance, and felt very guilty in his heart.

If he hadn't forgotten the agreement, Mr. Xie and the others would have come here a long time ago, appreciating the items that are about to be auctioned, so there is no need to discuss them on the spot here.

Bi Han patted Lin Li on the shoulder and comforted him, "A Li, don't think so much."

"I didn't think..."

Just as Lin Li was about to explain, he suddenly turned to an auction item that was introduced in great detail.

This auction item is an ancient book, and it happens to be the medical technique that he pays most attention to recently.Thinking of the origin of acupuncture and moxibustion, Lin Li's heart burst into flames, and he vowed to take down this ancient medical book.
