After touching the residual fragrance on his cheek, looking at Wen birou's graceful shadow walking in front of him, Xiao Qiang had a long time to come back. Anyway, being given a kiss by a beautiful woman naturally takes advantage of him. He is both sad and helpless.
Xiao Qiang took a good look at the main hall of the exhibition. At this time, most of the people gathered in the hall are the guests who came to attend the fair. This is the general meeting place for the fair. The auction, exhibition, trade fair, appraisal area and other sub projects are located on different floors of the hall. The scale is almost unimaginable!
This kind of large-scale exhibition with rich merchants and treasure appraisers is not comparable to the gambling ground of Yong'an Antique Street and Yang Yisheng. The biggest purpose of Wen birou and Xiao Qiang's trip is to auction the ice jadeite balls they have left on their hands. Therefore, the first place to look for is undoubtedly the place where the auction items are registered. After consulting some staff members, The two quickly went to the identification area on the third floor in the crowded passageway.
According to the consultation, the auction of this fair will be held tomorrow afternoon, and all the antique jades that want to be auctioned through the auction will be basically appraised in the appraisal area on the third floor. Only those treasures with auction potential can be registered and become the commodities of the auction.
When Xiao Qiang came to the third floor, he soon found that the area where the auction items were registered was on the right. At this time, there were many collectors and merchants lining up. Such a big auction naturally attracted many merchants with precious treasures to register. After all, everyone wanted to sell their treasures at a good price. The auction would undoubtedly provide such an opportunity. Of course, it was overcrowded.
But there are too many people. Wen birou knows that even if she is a VIP ticket, she can only get the number and queue up. Xiao Qiang learned from his communication with other businessmen that all the items need to pass the appraisal before the auction. It's true, but if it's really a high-grade counterfeit with exquisite workmanship, it's also possible to muddle through.
After all, the number of senior appraisers is too small, and they are not willing to lose their identity to serve as appraisers for the auction, which naturally limits the authority of identification. Of course, even ordinary treasure appraisers, but the vast majority of counterfeits can be eliminated. Only a very small number of counterfeits are really mixed into the auction.
Interestingly, there is a direct trading area beside the appraisal area, where there are some buyers and collectors. They are staring at these treasures that want to be appraised and registered. If they like them and can give a reasonable price to reach the psychological price of the seller, they can trade directly here without going through the auction. This is also because after all, the number of treasures selected for auction is limited, and the threshold is generally high. Some valuable treasures that are not extremely valuable can be bought here even if they can't participate in the auction, which makes the seller's trip worthwhile.
"Xiao Qiang, I'm very nervous, and I don't know if our things can be taken care of..." Wen birou lined up and said in a small voice, "I was full of confidence when I came here before, but now it seems that the scale of the exhibition is much bigger than I expected... I just saw the treasures identified by the treasure appraiser, and several of them are worth more than one million yuan, It's much more valuable than us. "
Xiao Qiang nodded, and he thought it was true. Their ice jadeite balls must be a good treasure in Yong'an County, but they are not very prominent in the biggest exhibition in these three provinces. After all, their value is only a few hundred thousand, and the treasures that can participate in the auction are always in the millions level. In terms of their own value, if you want to register the ice jadeite balls as auction items, It's really difficult.
But since we are here, how can we not try? After thinking about it, he said, "sister birou, let's try first. If we can't, we'll try to attract the attention of the owners in the direct trading area nearby. If they can give us a real price, we don't have to participate in the auction."
Wen birou said with a bitter smile, "if you want to attract the attention of those bosses, it's not so easy. I'm afraid our ice jadeite ball is not attractive enough..."
Xiao Qiang thought about it and didn't say anything. He knew very well that selling antique jade is different from selling ordinary goods. Ordinary goods have models and prices, but every antique is unique. Besides its own value, speculation is also the key. And how to hype... There's a lot of knowledge in it. At least he doesn't have any good ideas at present.
Imperceptibly, the team moved forward gradually, and soon it was Wen birou's turn. She reluctantly smile, just about to ice emerald jade ball to the appraiser, but unexpectedly behind the crowd came a riot, only to see a man in a suit, a proud face of the man swaggering towards the identification platform here!
"Look, isn't that Master Wu's great apprentice, Zhang Guolun who is called jade hand?"“ My darling, it's really him! What is he doing here? Is there something to be auctioned? Oh, my God, it must be a good thing that he auctioned. It must be looted
Whispers came from the crowd and fell into Xiao Qiang's ears. Of course, he didn't know who master Wu was or who Zhang Guolun, nicknamed jade hand, was. However, no matter from his momentum or tone, he knew that this guy was absolutely a great figure in the field of antique jade. Not only the guests in line, but also the collectors sitting in the direct trading area stood up excitedly, apparently interested in what Zhang Guolun came to sell.
Xiao Qiang didn't think this person would have anything to do with him, but he soon knew that he was wrong. Because of his arrival, the sellers in line have consciously abdicated their position, which makes him directly come to Wen birou's side! What's more speechless is that the appraiser who was supposed to take over Wen birou's jade ball ignored Wen birou's existence. He stood up and welcomed Zhang Guolun with a smile!
No one dared to complain about such a strong and reasonable jump in the queue! Wen Bi clenched her pink lips, but she also knew that there was a big man standing beside her at this time. She didn't dare to provoke, and she couldn't, so she could only take two steps back and give up her position.
Xiao Qiang is very angry. As a famous person in the antique jade industry, he should abide by the rules. But at present, Mr. Zhang Guolun regards jumping in the queue as a matter of course. It's a bit excessive and hateful! For what? Does he have a good baby just by his ability? Others think it's natural, but Xiao Qiang thinks it's shameless!
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see. We've met again. You're a jade expert. You're known as a jade hand. If there's any good baby to show up today, how about giving me priority to choose?" Just after Zhang Guolun cut in the queue, he wanted to show his treasure. In the direct trading area, a young man with a smile and looks elegant suddenly said with a smile, "my grandfather is going to celebrate his birthday. I'm helping him choose gifts. Surely the jade hand won't give me such face?"
After looking at the young man, Zhang Guolun said with a joking smile, "who am I? It turns out that I'm Xu Dashao. I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for so long, but you're out of the mountain again? Why, instead of chasing the masters as apprentices this time, have you started to work in the receiving trade? "
Hearing Zhang Guolun's words, the young man named Xu Dashao was a little embarrassed and said with a bitter smile, "ah, I'm too backward in ideas and not good at level. I've lost my ambition. Today I'm just taking the opportunity to buy a gift for my grandfather to visit the fair. Don't laugh at me any more."
"Xu Dashao? Is that Xu Da Shao Xu Yang, who has appeared in the antique industry of Jiangnan Province in recent years with a bright background and a lot of money? In order to make friends with those masters in the antique industry, he doesn't think much of buying fake goods. He is known as the eye punching king
The whispering beside makes Xiao Qiang look at Xu Dashao, who is called the eye punching king, and suddenly he feels that he can't laugh or cry. Eye punch? Doesn't it mean that Xu Yang is often cheated into buying fake goods? It's really sad to be mixed up in this business.
