Chapter 72 Master Demeanor
Ma Dingxiang's plane arrived at ten o'clock in the morning, and Wu Tianyuan was waiting at the airport early to pick up the old man on time.

"Hello Ma, I'm Wu Tianyuan, please leave the luggage to me!"

Ma Dingxiang is not tall, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He is not at all like an old man in his 70s, and he is very energetic.

"Little friend, although Brother Sun and I have never met, we have been friends for a long time. He sent me some materials. Are you the collector?"

Wu Tianyuan put the luggage into the car, drove slowly into the city, and explained: "I am the appraiser of Zhongzheng Auction, and I also opened a small shop in the Antique City. A migrant worker's daughter came to the door that day..."

While driving, Wu Tianyuan narrated the experience of that day in detail, and Mr. Ma nodded appreciatively: "You don't take advantage of others, good!"

"There is a strange theory in our antique business, as if picking up leaks at a high price means you don't make a profit? What kind of bullshit logic is this?"

Mr. Ma said angrily: "In the early years, the industry rules were very clear. Picking up leaks depends on your eyesight, but you also have to look at the target! If you are in the same industry, you can say that you have good eyesight. Everyone is convinced. But for laymen Said, people come to ask you for advice because they don’t understand, they respect your professional knowledge. At this time, if you become greedy and accept the real thing at a low price, that’s not picking up a leak, it’s a lie!”

When Wu Tianyuan heard this, he was in awe of the old man, this is the demeanor of a master.He is a real master of identification and a top collector.Go out alone, simple luggage.He is also kind to the juniors, much better than those bullshit experts.

"You keep praising me. In fact, I still picked up a big leak. It's just that the other party's life and death are at stake, so it's just a matter of conscience."

The two were chatting and laughing, Mr. Ma was very curious about Wu Tianyuan, his first impression was very good, he had read countless people, and his eyesight was not only for antiques, but also for people.This young man is a bit interesting, and I really can't see through it for a while.

"Hello, Mr. Ma, I have admired your name for a long time, and I finally see you today."

Sun Zhongzheng and Lao Yu were waiting at the door of the elevator. When they saw Ma Dingxiang, they hurried up to greet him warmly.

"Brother Sun, you're welcome. I've been to the Central Plains many times, but I never had the chance to meet you. Thanks to Gubi."

Several people came to the meeting room, Sun Yuyao was in charge of making tea, and everyone started chatting.

"Kupin one or two?"

When Ma Lao saw Wu Tianyuan entering the door with an ancient coin, his eyes lit up, he put on his gloves excitedly, and began to study it carefully.

Sun Zhongzheng had already prepared materials, especially Zhao Ruzhen's antique guidebook, high-resolution rubbings, and everyone discussed and appraised them.

"Genuine product! Orphan product!"

Ma Dingxiang let out a long breath and said excitedly: "I thought I would never see orphans in this life. I never thought that I could see the only Kuping of the Qing Dynasty for a couple of minutes before I died. It was worth it!"

After hearing that Ma Dingxiang personally confirmed it as the master of ancient coin appraisal, all the people present were happy.This is considered a certainty, the antique shop will recognize this, with a published description, plus the approval of the master, this is the real thing.

Wu Tianyuan brought tea to Ma Lao, and said with a smile: "Orphan is nothing to you. You have thousands of precious coins in your hand, and there are several sets of fifty treasures. There are no more orphans, right?"

Ma Lao glared and scolded with a smile: "It's easy for you to say! As currency, ancient coins have a huge circulation, which is different from porcelain calligraphy and paintings. More than [-] pieces in the world are treasures, and [-] pieces are considered heavy items. Less than [-] pieces They are all rare. Not to mention orphans!"

"The only orphan in my hand is Dangsan in the Southern Song Dynasty. So far, I have not found a second one. The other two have been handed down, one in RB and one in Singapore. The orphans of ancient coins are only relative As far as I'm concerned, maybe the foundation will be laid there tomorrow, and the ancient money cellar of the Song Dynasty will be dug up all at once, all of them will be fools!"

Everyone laughed. Mr. Ma was joking. We all know that the treasures of ancient coins are usually issued by war-torn dynasties.For example, Wang Mang's ancient coins were only issued for a few days, and due to the war, there were naturally very few left.The truly recognized orphans are mainly concentrated in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, as well as the Liao, Jin and Song Dynasties.

"What do you guys plan to do with Ku Ping one or two?" Ma Lao asked seriously: "I see other silver dollars, are you going to put them up for auction?"

"Kuping will naturally collect one or two pieces, and if he has the opportunity to exhibit them in the future, this belongs to public wealth."

Ma Lao nodded in satisfaction, the more he looked at Wu Tianyuan, the more pleasing to his eyes, he heard a lot of deeds, he knew that this young man had good eyesight and was destined for antiques, he picked up many heavy objects in just three months.Not to mention the previous ones, but this one is an orphan, very precious, and cannot be measured by money.

"The blessings from the previous life can have them, and we have to cherish them more. Money can never be earned, and it will not bring happiness. Only collection is spiritual enjoyment."

At noon, everyone had dinner together to celebrate. Mr. Ma was very happy and made an exception and had a drink.Elder Song also accompanied them. At their age, many things can be seen.It is already a blessing to see the things you like, and everything else is trivial.

"Tianyuan, I finally came to the Central Plains once, if you are free, take me around?"

Wu Tianyuan couldn't wish for it. There are still a few days before the preview. How many people can learn from the master is enviable. He hurriedly said: "It's the honor of the younger generation. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you can go to the Antique City together. Tomorrow I will take you to the surrounding attractions. .”

Sun Zhongzheng and Song Lao looked at each other, this kid Wu Tianyuan is capable, who is Ma Dingxiang?The honorary expert of the Forbidden City, the real master of ancient coins, is a top existence in the circle.

This kid has a kind of charm, real and unpretentious, and he loves antiques from the bottom of his heart.In particular, there is also a rare sense of mission, which is what the seniors like the most.

"Girl, arrange your itinerary in the afternoon to see where Mr. Ma wants to go, and make it in advance."

Elder Sun asked Sun Yuyao to prepare in advance, and it is a rare opportunity to meet the great master, which is very beneficial to the growth of the younger generation.Anyone who can become a master has a shining point in personality, which is worthy of humility for young people to learn from.

"Don't be so troublesome, you are going to auction soon, and you are very busy, just let this kid accompany me."

Mr. Ma waved his hands and said with a smile: "We don't go to any tourist attractions. There are too many people, so we just walk around in the antique circle. I'm curious about your kid's eyesight and ability to pick up leaks. Seeing is believing."

Everyone laughed, it turned out that Mr. Ma was going to test Wu Tianyuan, and that kid was in trouble!
After lunch at noon, Wu Tianyuan sent his luggage back to the hotel, and then brought Ma Lao to the Antique City to sit at Tianyuanju.

"Hello Ma, hello!"

Lao Yang and his two buddies had already greeted him at the door, excited like a pilgrimage. They might not have the chance to see the Grand Master with their own eyes in their lifetime, so they were naturally very excited.

"Everyone is welcome, sit down."

Ma Lao turned around Tianyuanju curiously, looked at Zhushan Bayou and Hong Xianci for a while, and nodded: "You have played the Minguo porcelain to the end, and they are the most representative ones."

Wu Tianyuan said embarrassingly: "The new store doesn't have any good items, I'll make you laugh at me. That's all RB auctions, just to fill the scene."

"Oh? RB reflow? Tell me."

Ma Lao's eyes lit up and asked Wu Tianyuan to explain.After hearing what he did, Mr. Ma slapped his thigh, very happy.

"You have a trick! Use Liu Meizi's identity to pick up leaks in RB? Have an idea!"

Ma Lao looked at Wu Tianyuan with admiration, suddenly remembered something, took out a business card and said: "You should go to the capital to meet this person as soon as possible. He is an expert in this field and has a lot of first-hand information. I will introduce you when I go back. You are a A rare talent."

Wu Tianyuan took the business card and was taken aback for a moment, the Chinese Heritage Rescue Foundation?
