Play treasure master

Chapter 682 His First Uncle and His Second Uncle Are Both His Uncles
Strictly speaking, the Mr. Tang that Yu Yao thought of was not a member of the industry, but an entrepreneur, or a rich man.

This Mr. Tang mainly pays attention to the major auctions, and is quite low-key, he will not show his face every time.Of course, as a person on the China Rich List, appearances are inevitable.

Therefore, Yu Yao could also recognize that the middle-aged man next to Qi Changhe at the auction was definitely not Mr. Tang.

For more than ten years, this Mr. Tang has successively photographed a large number of treasures, including more than 20 pieces of porcelain worth more than [-] million yuan. He has collected no less than [-] pieces of calligraphy and paintings described in "Shiqu Baoji".

Six years ago, at an auction in Sobis, Mr. Tang bought a pair of Yongle blue and white hand-pressing cups, which were worth over [-] million yuan.Appearing in Yu Yao's dreams always has some basis in reality.

Three years ago, Mr. Tang bought an imperial brush painting by Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, at a high price of more than RMB [-] million, and returned to the motherland.

······
However, at this moment, Yu Yao was a little distracted, so he didn't reply for a while, and only called Qi Changhe back when he got back to the hotel room.

"Old Qi, I'm Xiao Yu." Yu Yao changed into a more relaxed tone.

"What? Is there no time at night?"

"That's not true. I don't have many friends in Hong Kong Island. But, which Mr. Tang are you talking about?"

"That's Mr. Tang. In fact, he has seen the preview, but he handled it in a low-key manner and did not attract attention."

"The one with you?"

"That's his new assistant."

"You and Mr. Tang..."

"To be honest, I am his second uncle."

"Ah?" Yu Yao couldn't help being taken aback, "Then Mr. Qi Changjiang?"

"His uncle and his second uncle are both uncles." Qi Changhe replied, "That is my elder brother."

"Oh, since I've known you, I've never been easy to ask, so that's how it is." Yu Yao knew that Qi Changjiang, who passed away the year before last, was the curator of a famous museum before his death, and devoted his whole life to the protection of cultural relics. Has a high reputation.However, the outside world does not seem to know about the relationship between Mr. Tang and him.

"If my eldest brother is still alive, I will mention it if you don't mention it."

"Okay, see you tonight." Yu Yao agreed.However, after knowing that Mr. Tang is Qi Changhe's nephew, thinking about how Qi Changhe called him "Mr. Tang" just now, it was a little awkward. Although he knew that this was an introduction to him, the third person, there was nothing else appropriate. call.

"I'll pick you up."

"No, just tell me where it is."

"Let's pick you up." Qi Changhe paused, "Is your girlfriend willing to participate in such an occasion?"

In fact, when Yu Yao called, Shen Ge was in the room, beside him.

"She..." Yu Yao glanced at Shen Ge, Shen Ge waved his hand, and Yu Yao said, "I guess she doesn't want to, so let me be alone."

"Okay, then hang up."

Yu Yao hung up the phone, and said to Shen Ge, "This Mr. Tang wants to see me. I'm afraid he has something to see. Mr. Qi probably gave me a blow."

"Not necessarily." Shen Ge said, "I have already said, you are famous now!"

"Then you said I saw you or didn't see you?"

"Didn't you already agree?" Shen Ge suddenly smiled, "I think it's good for you and not bad."

"I just want to change my mind."

That night, Yu Yao met Mr. Tang in a restaurant. This restaurant is in a building and has already been booked out.In the largest room of the restaurant, there were only Mr. Tang, Qi Changhe, and Yu Yao.

And on a table in the hall, besides the middle-aged assistant, there was also a young woman, who was decent and professional, she should be a secretary.In addition, when Yu Yao first came, he also saw two men in black suits, who went there for some reason, probably bodyguards.

This Mr. Tang looks older than what Yu Yao saw in magazines and videos, but he is also more casual than imagined.

"When we meet for the first time, I will give Mr. Xiao Yu a gift." What Mr. Tang brought up was the Daoguang powder enamel vase with treasure-faced patterns that his middle-aged assistant took at the auction.

At that time, Yu Yao offered a price for Shen Ge, but was stopped by Shen Ge, and he never made another offer. But when the 80 was about to end, the middle-aged assistant suddenly mentioned 100 million to win.

It seems that Qi Changhe made a "little move" in advance.

"You don't get rewarded for merit." Yu Yao waved his hand, "Mr. Tang, I can't accept this thing."

"How can you say it's useless?" Mr. Tang smiled lightly, "During the preview, you commented on the Hongwu Underglaze Red Bowl."

"This is something that opens the door. It doesn't matter whether I comment or not. The results of the appraisal should be recognized."

"That's different. The thing that opened the door again, can draw such a conclusion with such certainty, that's enough for the old man." Mr. Tang said, looking at Qi Changhe.

From the exchange of eyes between the two of them, Yu Yao also saw that the relationship between uncle and nephew is still okay.

Qi Changhe lit a cigarette conveniently, "You don't want it, you just dislike poor things."

Yu Yao didn't speak, just laughed.

"Besides, he still has something he wants you to see." Qi Changhe also smiled, "Let's talk about it after we're full!"

"Alright." Yu Yao didn't refuse either.

The taste of the dishes in this meal is still very good.And the three of them communicated well, because there was a common topic of antiques.

Mr. Tang is quite fond of drinking, and he drank half a catty of white wine for a meal, or maybe he was more happy after winning the Hongwu Glaze Red Bowl.The white wine was brought by him, and it was stored in a white porcelain jar. He didn't introduce too much, and he just said that it was a good wine brewed privately.Yu Yao only drank one cup, the taste was mellow, but not soft, there was a bit of burning energy.

After drinking half a catty of liquor, Mr. Tang talked too much.

"Mr. Xiaoyu, do you know why I like collecting antiques so much?" He asked such a question suddenly.

"The way of collecting is generally inseparable from two situations, one is liking, and the other is investment."

"None." Mr. Tang shook his head.

"Oh?"

"I was driven by curiosity."

"Curiosity about history?" Yu Yao responded okay.

"Yes!" Mr. Tang couldn't help giving Yu Yao another high look, "I always feel that the historical materials I've seen are more than enough. I want to get something further from the antiques!"

"Advanced." Yu Yao said.

"You really think so?"

"Sincerely." Yu Yao didn't lie, but he didn't expect Mr. Tang to be like this at first.

Qi Changhe said at this time, "I guess Mr. Xiaoyu also has this idea."

Yu Yao nodded, then turned to look at Mr. Tang, "I also have a question to ask now."

"Please speak!" Mr. Tang raised his hand.

"Mr. Tang is curious and likes to explore so much, why is he limited to the high-quality goods on the big auction?"
