Siheyuan: Wandering between Two Worlds

The first time, the first time, the second time.

"Ah~~~ Another genuine item." Jiang Yang and his friend were interrupted by Master Long again while chatting. This is the fourth genuine item and the last one.

So far, the appraisal of this batch of antiques has been completed.

The genuine items are:

Zheng Banqiao's Bamboo and Rock Picture

Xu Beihong's Five Horses Picture

Qi Baishi's Four Screens of Flowers and Birds

Tang Bohu's Lushan Waterfall Viewing Picture

The two porcelains are also genuine, official kilns during the Qianlong period, but they are not worth much, tens of thousands of yuan, of course, only compared with the above.

Master Long rolled up the scroll again, and felt entangled in his heart. Such a good thing, it's a pity that it's not his.

He couldn't help but look at Jiang Yang and asked, "Young man, can I take a photo of these paintings?"

"Master Long, please do as you please. I'm grateful for your help today!"

How could he know that there were so many good things inexplicably. If he sold them, what would he be so busy about? He just wanted to enjoy life in both worlds.

"Jiang Yang, treat me, you must treat me!"

"No problem, the bottle of wine I gave you before is free for you."

"Really?"

Speaking of it, he even forgot about paying.

"Really, do you want to take it out and drink it?"

"Get out, then no one can drink my wine."

There is only one bottle, it must be treasured, no one can touch it.

Master Long was taking photos of several paintings, and Chen Baoguo walked towards Jiang Yang with a gentle smile.

"Xiao Jiang, do you plan to collect these paintings yourself or sell them?"

If it comes to collecting, he would like to, but now money is obviously more important to him. Isn't he getting these things back just to exchange for money?

"Uncle Chen, can I ask about the approximate price of these paintings?"

Chen Baoguo pondered for a few seconds and answered with a smile.

"Zheng Banqiao's Bamboo and Rock Painting was auctioned before, and the price was about 18 million yuan. It should be able to increase a lot now."

"Xu Beihong's Five Horses Painting is priced at about 30 million yuan. The specific price will be known at the auction."

"Qi Baishi's Four-screen Painting of Flowers and Birds is estimated to be priced at about 100 million yuan. The specific price depends on the auction situation."

"The price of Tang Bohu's Lushan Waterfall Viewing Painting is inestimable, and I can't give a price."

"As for the remaining imitations and porcelains, the prices are too low, and it is not recommended to auction them!"

The Bamboo and Rock Painting was a gift from Lou Dehua to me. It is obviously not good to sell it directly. It is also difficult to say when asked in the future. Can I say that I sold it? I am afraid I will be criticized.

The other three pieces can be sold. After converting them into funds, I should not need to sell antiques in the future.

"Uncle Chen, except for the bamboo and rock painting, can the other three paintings be entrusted to your auction house for auction?"

"Of course, I will give you the lowest commission, and we can sign the contract now!"

Chen Baoguo asked about these paintings for this reason, how much profit this kind of business can bring to the company.

They can share it!

"Okay."

Chen Baoguo nodded and immediately called his secretary to arrange the contract.

Master Long felt a lot of emotion when he heard that these things were going to be sold. He stared at Jiang Yang for a long time, but finally did not speak.

This is someone else's thing, how can he say too much, and it's the first time for the two to meet.

"Master Long, you have worked hard today, give me a card number, or add WeChat, and I will transfer the money to you."

Jiang Yang felt that the old man seemed to be in a bad mood, and stepped forward to give him money, happily.

"No, since you have already planned to entrust our auction house to auction, this is what I should do. But you can add WeChat. If you have something you are not sure about in the future, you can contact me."

"No problem, don't be annoyed by my nagging in the future."

Jiang Yang added Master Long's WeChat. Unexpectedly, the old guy played it very colorfully. His online name was Flower Monk, and his avatar was a Shaolin monk, but his space was full of photos with various beauties.

The gap was too big, and Jiang Yang almost didn't catch it.

After signing the contract, the three paintings no longer belonged to him, and Jiang Yang left the auction house with the remaining things.

He casually took out a painting and handed it to Brother Jiu, "Hey, it's your reward today, it's okay to hang it at home to show off."

"Hey, don't miss it, I heard that these are valuable goods, but compared with those few, they are a little worse."

Brother Jiu took it with a smile. It was given for free, and he was not stupid.

Jiang Yang just smiled. It's a courtesy to reciprocate. Brother Jiu helped him a lot.

Just like wine, he didn’t lose money for something that cost a few dollars or more.

Of the four paintings, except for the one given by Lou Dehua, two of the three were bought by Sun Youfu at the night market.

They sent it.

"I'll treat you to lunch, you drive the car and show me the delicacies of Guangzhou."

"Hey, I heard that Fuchunlou has a batch of big lobsters, I'll take you to taste them."

Jiuge stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.

At the same time, Chen Baoguo immediately reported the news of signing the three treasures, and the higher-ups immediately arranged publicity and the auction date was set for half a month later.

In the car, Jiang Yang contacted Chen Qian, this guy was still sleeping and didn't want to eat.

"It seems that I fed you very well! Haha~~~ That's amazing."

"Jiang Yang, looking at your expression, you are not YY, are you?"

"Ahem, Jiuge, drive well, what are you looking at!"

"Hey, I have a bad temper."

Jiuge freed one hand and slapped Jiang Yang twice.

Fuchunlou

Jiang Yang followed Jiuge into the restaurant, a Chinese restaurant with a three-story loft-style private room. Jiang Yang was used to the atmosphere of old Beijing, but he actually felt a familiar atmosphere here.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?"

Jiuge shook his head, "I made an appointment with your boss. Tell Fatty that the old wine is here."

"Oh, it's Jiuge. The boss has told me. Follow me." The waiter smiled and led the two into a private room called Furong Pavilion.

"Jiuge, the boss will be here soon. Do you want to order first and wait for the boss to arrange?"

"I'll order by myself. That fat guy is stingy." Jiuge grabbed the menu, checked a few local specialties, and then handed the menu to Jiang Yang.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Jiuge, you decide. I'm not picky except for coriander."

"Hey, you call this not picky?" Jiuge was speechless. He checked a few more dishes and handed the menu to the waitress. "Also, give us two of the big lobsters you just got, pick the big ones."

"Okay, wait a moment."

The waiter left, and Jiuge explained: "This hotel is owned by a buddy of mine. I'll introduce him to you later. He's a little fat, but he's fine."

Before Jiang Yang could speak, the door opened wide, and a middle-aged man with a big belly walked in, accusing Jiuge.

"Old Jiu, I heard you say bad things about me from a distance, you really deserve a beating."

"Where did I say bad things about you? I said you're nothing bad except you're a little fat. I was praising you. Don't be ungrateful. Be sensible. You're treating me today."

"Damn it, you bastard, when have you ever paid for a meal here? You always order the best."

"I was helping you eat, otherwise you'd be as fat as a pig." Jiuge and the other man joked for a while before introducing each other.

"Jiang Yang, my new little brother has a rich family, but he is your potential big customer. It depends on whether you can keep him."

"Jiang Yang, this is Zheng Qian, nicknamed Fatty, the boss of Fuchunlou, a serious foodie."

Jiang Yang stood up, smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, Brother Zheng."

"Haha, just call me Fatty, I'll call you Xiao Jiang, ha, sit down, since you are in my territory today, you can order whatever you want, Fatty brother, please."

"Okay, Fatty brother."

"Haha~~~"

After a few words, the scene was harmonious.

"Where is Xiao Jiang?"

Are you here to find out?

"I am a nouveau riche. I just got rid of poverty with the help of Jiu brother. I hope Fatty brother can give me more advice in the future."

"Haha, no problem, these days, with initial capital, it is still very easy to make money. We will have a chance together in the future."

"There will be a chance."

What the fat man said is really right, especially in business, the accumulation of initial capital is particularly important, which is related to your upper limit.

To put it bluntly, the size of your store is all about your pocket.

As the chat deepened, Jiang Yang realized that this restaurant was just the fat man's hobby, and his real main business was the financial circle.

Jiang Yang didn't understand this. He saw the financial circle as a casino. Although it made a lot of money, there were more people who lost money.

Whose money did those listed companies make? Isn't it from retail investors?

If he wanted to do business, he would definitely do real business, so he just simply agreed with a few words and said less if he didn't understand.

Jiang Yang had a free lunch and got a membership card. Jiu Ge didn't go with Jiang Yang, but with the fat man.

Watching Jiang Yang drive away, the fat man looked at Jiu Ge and said with a smile: "Old Jiu, how did you know this guy?"

"Why? Don't you like him?"

"Indeed, he smells like dirt, which is not your style."

The fat man took a deep puff of cigarette. He usually interacted with people worth hundreds of millions. He became friends with Jiu Ge because they grew up together, and Chen Jia had a good family background, otherwise he would not even like Jiu Ge.

"You, you are always so snobbish when looking at people. Don't look down on anyone. You never know what they are like.

In the future, his net worth will be higher than yours."

He naturally knew that this old brother was arrogant. After decades of friends, who doesn't know each other? At this age, it is almost impossible to change.

His high aspirations are his strengths and weaknesses. Jiu Ge has seen Jiang Yang's recent situation. He thinks Jiang Yang will definitely make a difference in the future, so he introduced him to Fatty.

But since he doesn't like him, Jiu Ge doesn't want to say much.

"I never regret what I do, and I never ask about what I missed. My clients recognize me and believe in my aspirations."

Fatty has struggled from nothing to a net worth of hundreds of millions now, so he naturally has his own style of doing things.

If you can be shaken by a few words from others, you're a loser.

"I've introduced you to someone. If you don't like him, then don't like him. I haven't finished drinking yet. Let's change the scene and continue."

"I'm afraid of you. If you don't crawl out today, I'll take your surname. "

"Tsk, you've said this hundreds of times, and you've regretted it every time. Just pay the bill. I don't want you as my son."

"Get lost."

"Haha~~~"

As they talked, the two of them were already arm in arm, rushing to the next cocktail party.
