Chapter 458: Authentic expert taste
After spending the night with Sophie, Li Du received a call the next morning. Ma Zhian told him that the Christie's experts had arrived in Flagstaff.
Li Du drove to Hellcat and went straight to the intersection to wait for the experts' cars. The two parties agreed on the phone the meeting place. After a few meetings, a Toyota overbearing drove.
The car stopped and three middle-aged Chinese came out.
All three are in their 40s and 50s, wearing glasses, neat clothes, well-maintained skin, well-dressed beards and nails, and full of scholarly atmosphere.
Li Du took the initiative to reach out and said, "Three are good, are you Teacher Ma, Teacher Du, or Teacher Ding?"
The three experts were named Ma Cheng, Du Dayuan, and Ding Xiaofeng. Ma Zhian passed over their information to him and saw it at a glance.
After shaking hands, the oldest Ma Cheng laughed and said, "Hello, Mr. Li Du? It's a hero who is a boy. The pony introduced us to you and it really deserves its name."
Li Du is embarrassed to answer these words, what kind of hero is he? A junior in the warehouse auction business.
Li Du introduced Hans to three people. There was also a strong driver in the car, who was also Chinese. His face was fleshy and he looked very uncomfortable wearing sunglasses.
Ma Cheng introduced him, saying that this was the driver and bodyguard assigned by Christie's to them. After all, they sometimes bought the antiques and relics directly after they were identified, and they needed some protection.
Both parties are familiar, Ding Xiaofeng opened the door and said: "Xiao Li, we are here in Arizona for the Phoenix autumn auction, so the time is tight, do you see if we go directly to your pastel?"
Li Du said, "It's okay, but it's getting late. Why not have lunch first?"
Ding Xiaofeng waved his hand and said, "This is avoided ..."
Ma Cheng interrupted his words and laughed: "Okay, Teacher Ding, don't quit, your interpersonal relationship is really a big problem, fellows eat a meal together, what push do you push?"
Ding Xiaofeng touched his nose awkwardly, and said, "We'd better make a quick decision, Xiao Li, I have no other meaning, mainly because we have to go somewhere to see something later."
Li Du quickly said: "Mr. Ding is polite, shall we have lunch first? It is not too late to start work after dinner. I would like to ask you some questions at the dinner table."
Ma Cheng said: "Okay, let's eat first, but first explain that we don't eat big meals, just eat fast food."
Du Dayuan, who has not spoken, laughed and said, "Yes, this is good. Being able to eat can save time."
Hans booked a seat at the Golden Aquidan Restaurant, but in the end the three of them were not polite. They went to the restaurant to shake their heads and said that eating a fast food would do.
Li Du smiled bitterly: "How can I allow you to eat fast food? Otherwise, Brother Ma will not criticize me?"
People came to help him, and of course he had to entertain him.
Ma Cheng stared and said, "He dare, what can this kind of thing say? This little horse is not like my family. When he came to the United States, he forgot some good habits of his father's diligence and thrift."
Hans came up to the round and said, "The location has been booked. Why don't we eat here at noon? The beef here tastes great."
Ma Cheng declined, and then said sincerely, "Xiao Li, I don't know how Xiao Ma told you, but in the eyes of the three of us, we are here to help, and help our fellow citizens."
"So, if we cost you money because of our arrival, then we might as well not come. Or you can tell the truth, are you a rich second generation?"
Li Du helplessly said: "I am not a rich second-generation, but ..."
"That's OK, eat fast food," Ma Cheng waved his hand. "What's wrong with fast food? Are you ashamed of having a fast food treat?"
Li Du smiled: "That's not true, I just feel that lack of courtesy."
Ma Cheng said: "The courtesy is not a treat for dinner. In this way, we are not old-fashioned or old-fashioned. If the goods identified to you in the afternoon are genuine and can help you make a lot of money, would you please invite us for a big meal? "
Li Du said happily: "Okay."
The trio made him very comfortable, but also made him feel a little unhappy.
Six people went to a Chinese restaurant. This time, when he got out of the car, Du Dayuan took a small suitcase and put it on his wrist with handcuffs.
Li Du could not ask, Ma Cheng actively explained: "There are ruby artworks in it. We brought them from Phoenix. We must carry them with us to ensure that they are absolutely safe."
This involved property, Li Du did not continue to ask, but began to order.
He consulted the three at the dinner table, and the three did not hesitate to tell him a lot about antiques, art and auctions.
Li Du's understanding of antique relics was limited to wenwan mahogany. He talked about mahogany that was obtained some time ago, and the three were very interested in it. He learned that he even sighed after selling it.
Du Dayuan said: "If you just wait, Mr. Ding is a master in this field. He knows many rich men who love mahogany, and he can definitely sell better prices!
"This is no fate ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Ding Xiaofeng shook his head regretfully," I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Xiao Li next time. "
Du Dayuan said: "Yes, speaking of this mahogany, you just got one of these things recently, right?"
Ding Xiaofeng held out a string of brown-red beads on his wrist and said, "Who did you hear? This is an authentic old material of Huanghuali, the owner has been in the market for twenty years, and I recently needed money urgently. I was lucky enough It's your hand. "
Li Du asked: "How much did you buy?"
Ding Xiaofeng said: "Through the relationship with friends, the price is relatively low, and it costs 15,000 yuan."
Li Du was shocked: "So expensive?"
Ding Xiaofeng laughed: "This is still expensive? This is an authentic old material of Huanghua Limu. Look at the texture, the texture and the touch. If you don't have a friend to help, it will cost you two thousand more!"
Ma Cheng asked: "Xiao Li, how much did your mahogany sell?"
Li Du smiled bitterly: "Still don't say it, my mahogany may not be of good quality and the price is relatively low."
Ding Xiaofeng said, "Who are you selling to? White-Chen, right? I know that child, his reputation is very bad in our fellow circles, and you can talk to him less often ..."
"Okay, as much as you know." Ma Cheng frowned. "Dine, continue to talk about mahogany, not about fellow people."
Ding Xiaofeng chuckled and said, "Isn't I afraid that Xiao Li will suffer?"
Du Dayuan also said, "Mr. Ding, the ancestors were right, sitting still and meditating, and they didn't talk about people."
Ding Xiaofeng nodded again and again: "Teach and teach, let's talk about mahogany and porcelain!"
After talking about mahogany knowledge, Li Du took them to the crown of the pine tree.
He took the pastel home, the camp was a mess, not a serious hospitality place, and he wanted the trio to help him identify the identity and value of Gaddafi's copy knife.
