Antiques with golden eyes

Speaking of which, the rear seats are actually very spacious and comfortable, and there are no spotlights, no camera flashes, and no cameras dangling in front of your eyes.

But there is one thing, sitting in the back row is shameless.

There was still a quarter of an hour before the auction started. Shen Yu picked up a beautifully crafted "Lot Catalog" in front of him and flipped through it.

All auction companies will carefully prepare a "Lot Catalog" before holding an auction, and then give an extremely detailed introduction to most of the valuable lots to be auctioned in the catalog.

For example, Shen Yu is currently looking at an authentic painting of Tang Yin's "Picture of a Lady with a Round Fan".

The catalog contains a high-definition color picture of the painting, accompanied by a detailed text introduction, including the author of the painting, its size, whether it has been included in ancient records, its estimated value, and its history from ancient times to the present. Rough spread process, etc.

Of course there is a disclaimer.

Because this lot was collected from a collector and does not belong to Baoyuan Company, Baoyuan can only guarantee that this calligraphy and painting is not a modern imitation, but cannot guarantee whether it is from the same time as the author or from the late Ming and Qing dynasties. Copy.

If the item is auctioned by Baoyuan, it will be 100% authentic, and you will pay three for one if it is fake.

Generally speaking, after the "Lot Catalog" is completed, it will be mailed in advance or delivered to your door by someone.

But Shen Yu was not qualified to participate in this auction, so naturally he did not receive it.

Because he is neither a VIP member of Baoyuan Auction House nor a well-known person in the industry.

Shen Yu's invitation letter was given by Baoyuan for Xu Duofu's sake, so it was normal not to receive the auction catalog. Fortunately, there was a copy on every seat in the hall.

Turning directly to the calligraphy and painting category, Shen Yu wanted to find the unknown painting from the Song Dynasty introduced in the invitation letter, but he only wrote the words "Stay tuned", which can be said to whet the buyer's appetite.

Judging from the catalogue, Baoyuan put a lot of effort into this auction, with many items being auctioned. There are as many as 50 items estimated at over five million.

It was impossible for Shen Yu to see every item, so he looked through them and found that there were a lot of good things, but the prices were not low, so there was basically no possibility of picking them up.

There were two sets of unmarked calligraphy and paintings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the valuations were very cheap. This made Shen Yu think that this might be a good opportunity to miss something.

"Young friend Shen, we meet again."

Shen Yu was thinking about picking up the leaks when a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears. He looked up and saw that it was Liu Dongyang, the owner of "Bogutang".

Shen Yu quickly stood up, shook hands with Liu Dongyang, and said politely: "I'm really sorry for asking you, Mr. Liu, to come over here to talk to me.

"I originally wanted to go over and say hello to you, but I was afraid of affecting others, so I planned to go over and say a few words to you after the auction."

Shen Yu said it politely, but in his heart he was wondering why this big boss condescended to talk to him? After all, they had only dealt with each other once.

Liu Dongyang waved his hand, "It's okay, it's not like I can't walk anymore. By the way, I've been to your Lanting Residence several times, but every time I go, you always keep the door closed. I thought you were I’m quitting.”

Shen Yu was even more puzzled. He went to Lantingju to find me? How many times did he go there?

"Mr. Liu, I wonder if you have anything to do with me?" Instead of making blind guesses, it would be better to ask directly, so Shen Yu chose to get straight to the point.

Liu Dongyang looked at his old pocket watch, "There are still more than ten minutes left before the auction starts. So, there are a lot of people talking here. If you have time, let's borrow Xia Baoyuan's reception room to chat a few words. ?"

Shen Yu immediately agreed, "Of course I have time, junior. Besides, it doesn't matter even if the auction starts. We have already come in anyway. Even if we don't take pictures, Baoyuan can't drive us away, right?"

Liu Dongyang laughed immediately after hearing this: "My little friend, you are right. If Zhang Zongbao dares to drive us away, we will not support him next time."

Liu Dongyang had a loud voice, and his smile immediately attracted a lot of attention in the audience.

Everyone looked at Shen Yu, and many of them had doubts. Who is this handsome young man? He could actually talk and laugh with Mr. Liu, the owner of Bogutang.

You must know that Liu Dongyang and Mr. Liu have always been serious about words.

"Grandpa Liu, you only talk to Qinan, and you treat me like nothing. I want to say hello to you, but you don't even look at me." Li Qing'er pouted dissatisfiedly at the side.

Liu Dongyang quickly covered his beard and looked panicked, "It's Xiaoqing. Grandpa Liu, I'm so dim that I didn't see you. By the way, how is Lao Litou's health lately?"

Li Qing'er said in surprise: "Didn't you two have tea together the night before yesterday? It was in Hanlin Pavilion. I remember it very clearly. Why are you asking about grandpa's health again today?"

Liu Dongyang suddenly felt embarrassed: "Really? Why don't I remember it? Oh my, my memory is getting worse and worse lately!"

"Hmph, are you angry because my grandfather rejected your proposal for marriage to your precious grandson?

"Grandpa Liu, let me tell you the truth. Your precious grandson was a playboy when he was in college. You go home and tell him not to let him send me flowers or call me again. There is no chance for both of us. .

"If you call me on another mobile phone, or go to the Hanlin Pavilion and squat to look for me, I will be really rude to him. I can't even beat him until his face turns red." Li Qing'er looked like a sharp-tongued ancient heroine.

Shen Yu understood at this time that Mr. Liu should have a grandson who was interested in Qing'er, and even asked Mr. Liu to come to propose marriage, but Mr. Li refused, but this guy didn't give up and kept pestering Qing'er.< /p>

Liu Dongyang pulled Shen Yu: "Xiao Shen, let's go quickly. This girl has been pulling my beard since she was a child. Now that my grandson has offended her, please don't give me a few more blows."

"Grandpa Liu, you are going too far." Li Qing'er was so angry that Liu Dongyang said this and stamped her foot.

……

As Liu Dongyang, borrowing a reception room at Baoyuan Auction is too simple, just a matter of words.

Led by two girls dressed as clerks, Shen Yu and Liu Dongyang came to a room with antique decoration.

As soon as we entered, the noise outside immediately stopped. It can be seen that this reception room must have been soundproofed.

The room is very large, covering sixty or seventy square meters.

It is separated by a set of rosewood screens in the middle, and there is a set of leather sofas against the walls on both sides. Surrounding the sofas are various antique shelves and bookshelves, filled with porcelain and books.

What's even more considerate is that there is a set of vacuum glass partitions around the sofa. After closing the partition door, even if two different groups of people are talking in the room, there will be no impact on each other.

The ground is covered with solid wood floors, and the walls are decorated with various hanging scrolls by famous artists. Different flowers and plants are placed in the free spaces. The fragrance of flowers is fragrant. This is different from the smell of sandalwood, but an elegant and delicate fragrance, which floats in the room. It is very strange. It's refreshing.

After sitting down on the sofa, the service staff immediately brought you tea.

While drinking tea, Liu Dongyang stated his purpose: "To be honest, I want to ask my friend to help me manage Bogutang and be the chief appraiser of Bogutang, that is, the big shopkeeper."

"Cang!"

The cup lid that Shen Yu just picked up fell on the tea bowl again, making a crisp sound.

"You always said that you want me to help you take care of Bogutang? Be the shopkeeper of Bogutang?" For a moment, Shen Yu felt that his mind was a little confused. He forcibly suppressed his heartbeat, then organized his thoughts and asked a question.

Liu Dongyang shook his head, "It's not the shopkeeper, it's the big shopkeeper, that is, the first person besides me, the shop owner. This just means that now and in the future I will give you a quarter of the shares of Bogutang for free.

"The shares are one-fourth of the combined valuation of the Bogutang treasure house and all the antiques I have collected in my life.

"I calculated that this amount of money is about more than 300 million yuan. I can entrust lawyers and third-party institutions to keep it. You can withdraw part of it every year until you are 70 years old.

"If you agree, we can sign the contract now, and this year's money will be transferred to your card immediately. In addition, your annual salary and dividends will not be included..."

"Mr. Liu, wait, no, I can't digest what you said at all, and I don't know why you said that." Shen Yu was not attracted by these astonishing numbers.

It can be said that he is completely confused now. If Li Hanlin said these words, Shen Yu could still understand it, but Liu Dongyang, who is not related to him, said this and Shen Yu couldn't understand it at all.

When Shen Yu and Liu Dongyang came over just now, it was not that they didn't think about what the other party was going to say to him. Shen Yu even felt that Mr. Liu knew whether he had obtained the original "Picture of Fish Playing in the Water" by Liu Cai.

Because Chen Dashan visited almost all the well-known antique shops in Chuzhou before selling the paintings, he might have been to Bogutang and Mr. Liu saw something.

But what Liu Dongyang said just now was completely beyond Shen Yu's expectations. Even if he thought about it a hundred times, he would never think about it.

This is not only a gift of money, but also a sense of entrusting Bogutang to myself.

Is this the legendary pie in the sky?

But even if a pie falls from the sky, this pie is too big. You must know that this is Bogutang, one of the three major antique shops in Chuzhou!
