Chapter 96 Meet the Tomb Robbers Again?
"The first hand scroll of Liu Yong's three kinds of lower script in the year of Renzi, the second seal of Liu Yong's bell, and the Taoist priest of Riguan Peak. It was in the old collection of Guoyun Tower, promoted by Gu Wenbin..."

"Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy vertical scroll, the bell seal of Zheng Xie and He Lizhi, and the olive hall of the seventh-rank official. Mr. Yu Rentian's old collection..."

"Heshen's regular script Buddha said the Sutra of Infinite Life is 4.8 meters long. It is a scripture specially copied for Emperor Qianlong. It is a rare large-scale calligraphy of Heshen..."

Wu Tianyuan was very happy when he saw the calligraphy of the number one scholar being sold at high prices one by one.Today is the third day after the preview. Originally, Xilin Printing House also scheduled the official auction today.As a result, he messed up the preview, and was too scared to auction it at the same time as Zhongzheng, so it could only be arranged three days later.

"This time, Zhou Jianyun was also scared. The emperor's calligraphy suddenly took away all the limelight from Xilin, and he even lost his courage!"

Sun Zhongzheng said disdainfully: "At first, I thought he would take the initiative to provoke us, how much confidence did he have? As soon as the preview came out, the flags and drums there immediately died down, and there was no fart."

"As a businessman, I think Xilin's decision this time is correct!" Hu Jianmin said with a smile: "The purpose of the auction is for the final transaction volume. A small amount of patience can lead to a big conspiracy. Zhou Jianyun can avoid Zhongzheng's edge and choose to endure it for a few days It’s also a person who goes up for a shoot.”

Wu Tianyuan nodded. He agreed with Hu Jianmin that a general manager should not be impulsive.If it hadn't been for getting the emperor's calligraphy last time, Zhongzheng would have suffered a crushing defeat by now.

No matter how good the calligraphy is, it is useless if no one cheers. This is the first time the two sides have fought each other, and Zhongzheng won a small game. I believe Xilin will never let it go.

"680 million, the Heshen Scroll is yours!"

Sun Yuyao swayed gracefully on the stage, the whole scene was well controlled, busy but not chaotic, and each lot was sold at a high price.

"How much was the final deal over there? Forty-six million! Okay, I see."

Zhou Jianyun hung up the phone with a gloomy face, turned to Kuang Guoqiang and said, "The 26 lots sold for [-] yuan?"

"It seems that we still underestimated Zhongzheng, especially that kid Wu Tianyuan. This was all arranged by him."

Kuang Guoqiang shook his head, and said vigilantly, "I have specially asked someone to collect his information, take a look!"

Zhou Jianyun took the documents, and the more he looked at them, the more surprised he became, and he said solemnly, "He has done so many things in the past six months?"

"That's right, starting from killing Mrs. Xie, he has made countless enemies along the way, but he can counterattack successfully every time! To be honest, as an opponent, I can't help admiring that kid. Whether it's eyesight or scheming, he is second to none!"

Only then did Zhou Jianyun truly face up to this failure, and began to understand Xie Rongcheng's pain at that time. Wu Tianyuan's ability to fight back was outstanding.

"Brother, what are you going to do next? Take the initiative to avoid it?"

Zhou Jianyun laughed loudly and said: "You underestimate my Xilin Printing Society! Is this the only thing that has survived for decades? This time I carelessly underestimated the enemy and let Zhongzheng take advantage of it. But the next special session will not be so easy. I have asked someone to prepare the stationery, see you in half a month."

Kuang Guoqiang clapped his hands and said: "As expected of Zhou Jianyun, he has a set! The study room is the item that most considers the auction house's ability to collect lots. Although there are many in number, the quality varies. It is difficult to find real high-quality goods. Only Xilin Printing House has this background Hold this special."

"Don't worry, our Kuang family will definitely support it. I personally have more than a dozen decent collections, and we will share them together when the time comes!"

Zhou Jianyun's heart moved, it seemed that Kuang Guoqiang wanted to deal with Zhongzheng and Wu Tianyuan more than himself?But he said with a smile on his face: "Then thank you brother, there will be rewards when things are done."

Zhongzheng Auction entered the capital for the first time and became a hit, causing a great sensation in the circle, especially the confrontation with Xilin Printing Society.The circle is not big, many people know about Zhongzheng and Xilin's feud, originally thought that Zhongzheng would be slapped in the face this time, but the result was shocking.

Zhongzheng attracted the attention of all calligraphy collectors with the preview of three pieces of imperial calligraphy, and made a good start to the auction of white gloves by famous artists at a high price.

Once Zhou Wenyan's topic was broadcast, the ratings exploded, followed by a small interview with Sun Zhongzheng and Wu Tianyuan, and Wu Tianyuan also talked about the general origin of the collection.It is Zhao Ruzhen's old collection. During the process of picking up leaks in Liulichang Tianyuanju, the legendary experience triggered a new wave of Taobao.

Early this morning, before dawn, Wu Tianyuan drove to Liulichang to participate in the ghost market!
It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, this was a place where refugees lived. One of the biggest characteristics of the refugee market is that it opens before dawn and closes at dawn.Every time before dawn, the market is very lively.Each stall is lit with a kerosene lamp, candle, soybean oil lamp or something.

At that time, apart from the shacks built by the refugees, there were patches of farmland and mass graves in the Liulichang area.Looking from a distance, the lamps and shadows flickering, flickering, and there are still people who are buying and selling indistinctly. Those who don't know the scene will be startled. Later, people called it a ghost market.

After the Republic of China, due to the decline of the country, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries were also in decline, and those former rich children were still idle, secretly turning into antiques among sellers in order to survive or exchange money for smoking opium.After all, this was an act of demeaning, and I didn't dare to sell it blatantly, so I only asked someone to take it to the ghost market at two or three o'clock in the morning.

In addition to them, there are also some people who have sold some stolen things or objects of unknown origin here to hide their eyes and ears before dawn.People traded with lanterns, because they all had unspeakable secrets, so the price was naturally greatly discounted. Things that were originally worth 50 taels of silver may be sold for 2 taels of silver.

Now when it comes to antiques and scenic spots in the capital, the first must be the famous Panjiayuan. Even foreigners like to go shopping.Look up at Tiananmen Square to see the flag raising, and look down at Panjiayuan to pick up national treasures.

Then there is Liulichang, which is full of time-honored brands, and there are ghost markets every now and then. The scale is small, but it is also a place to pick up leaks.

"Small shovel, please pay attention, if you feel anything, tell me."

Wu Tianyuan instructed Yusho while looking at things with a high-gloss flashlight.There are a lot of things here that are not from the right way, maybe there is a discovery.

"No problem, you don't know my level yet, we..."

The little shovel believed in himself, and just halfway through speaking, he suddenly yelled: "There is an induction in the northwest corner, and there is a token of the tomb robber organization there!"

Wu Tianyuan's expression was shocked, there was no change on his face, but his feet quickly moved in that direction.He quickly locked on to a young man with sly eyebrows and a nervous expression.

"You just sell some of these junk?"

Wu Tianyuan squatted down and looked at the imitations on the street stalls, not even high imitations, just a fake thing.

"what do you want?"

The young man looked at Wu Tianyuan and asked in a low voice: "There are good products, but the price is high!"

"Look at it, as long as it is true, the price is not a problem."

The young man looked around vigilantly, and then took out a scroll from his backpack. Wu Tianyuan felt excited when he heard it.

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains imitated from the Qing Dynasty? Wang Hui's style? The imitation is so-so!"

The young man stared and retorted: "This is the real work!"

Wu Tianyuan stretched out a finger and said with a low smile: "Authentic work? Do you know how much Wang Hui of the Fourth King of the Qing Dynasty costs per square foot? If yours is an authentic work, at least one counts!"

The young man obviously didn't know how to do it. He only knew that it was an ancient painting. When he heard someone bid, he asked excitedly, "100 million?"

"One hundred million!"

Wu Tianyuan looked at the shocked expression on the young man's face, and said with disdain: "Brother, don't daydream! You are at best a late Qing imitation, but the level of imitation is not bad, I will accept the price!"
