At this moment, Wang Guan looked at his image in the mirror, looking like an elite in the workplace. Going out with the current appearance, I am afraid only people who are very familiar with it will see some clues.
In response to Wang Guan's praise, the makeup artist shook his head slightly, a little dissatisfied, and said that if he could be given an extra hour or two, the makeup would definitely be more perfect, and even relatives would not be able to see the flaws.
"This is already good." Wang Guan said with a smile, but he felt a little uncomfortable. After all, there was a layer of cream and powder on my face, which made me a little uncomfortable, but in order to catch Mr. Zhu Da, I had no choice but to endure it.
"Well, I think it's almost the same."
At the same time, Mr. Fang smiled and said: "In this case, let's set off."
"good¡¡"
Wang Guan definitely had no objection, and immediately followed Mr. Fang out.
On the way, Mr. Fang warned again: "Remember, your name is Wang Lin, and you are the appraiser I invited. When you get to the place, talk as little as possible"
"I know." Wang Guan nodded repeatedly.
Amid Mr. Fang¡¯s thoughts, the car arrived at the dock smoothly and quickly. Next to the pier, there is also a yacht ready to go at any time. By the time the two of them boarded the deck, under Fang Lao's signal, the yacht had already shuttled away like an arrow, heading towards the vast blue sea.
After a long time, the yacht has sailed out of Taiwan waters and into the high seas. Then after driving for about half an hour, you can see a super huge cruise ship appearing in front of you.
"arrive."
Under Fang Lao¡¯s prompting, Wang Guan also cheered up and knew that the secret gathering would probably be held on the cruise ship. And he could also understand that a gathering like this, which was very secretive and full of gray colors, would definitely not be held blatantly on land. Otherwise, it would become a big joke.
In addition, transactions on the high seas cannot be restricted by the laws of various countries, so the rich in various places are somewhat relieved. To put it bluntly, the organizer only provides a platform. What to do with the purchased items is up to the guests themselves.
"Let's go, go up."
at the same time. The yacht and the cruise ship should have sent signals to each other and confirmed each other's information. The yacht also approached the cruise ship openly and had set up a stable gangway. Let people pass.
With the support of the bodyguard, Mr. Fang walked slowly onto the cruise ship, and Wang Guan followed naturally. At the same time, he looked at the surroundings and found that there were seven or eight yachts approaching on the nearby sea. They should be other guests. Perhaps Mr. Cai is on one of the yachts
Wang Guan thought secretly, but on the surface he followed Fang Lao step by step and slowly entered the cruise ship.
Of course, before officially entering. They must have gone through a security check, and after confirming that the bodyguards did not bring any dangerous items, someone naturally led them into the huge living room.
As soon as he entered, Wang Guan heard bursts of cheerful string music. When he actually walked into the hall, he immediately felt the glitz and luxury in it. Colorful Persian rug. The splendid decoration style and huge crystal chandeliers make this place completely like the layout of a European palace.
At this time, in the corner, a band was playing live melodies. In the banquet hall, beautiful girls of various skin colors could be seen from time to time, holding various drinks, as if they were flying butterflies, leaving behind There are wisps of warm fragrance
Naturally, Mr. Fang and Wang Guan arrived not too early, and there were dozens of guests in the hall, chatting in small groups, or enjoying music and tasting mellow wine alone.
Wang Guan glanced around and found that these guests were very mixed. The so-called miscellaneous definitely refers to age. Among them are old people like Mr. Fang, middle-aged people like Mr. Cai, and naturally there are also some young people in their twenties and thirties.
However, Wang Guan also knew in his heart that no matter how old or young these people were, the fact that they could appear here was enough to prove that they were either rich or noble and were celebrities among ordinary people. Either a wealthy person or a rich second generation.
"Brother Fang."
While Wang Guan was observing the situation, someone in the crowd started to greet him.
"Brother Yuan."
At this time, Mr. Fang also showed a bit of a smile, motioned for Wang Guan to follow, and then walked towards the rows of sofas on the side. Several rows of sofas formed a small circle, and several gray-haired old people were sitting on the sofas drinking tea.
The person who greeted Mr. Fang was one of the rather skinny old men. When Mr. Fang came over, he inevitably stood up to greet him. The two of them had a chill?, but also a bit happy. Then the old man introduced Mr. Fang to the friends next to him, which naturally caused a lot of excitement.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, the identities of these people are definitely not simple. Wang Guan heard a few words from the side and couldn't help but secretly gasped. Anyway, if a few people join forces, they may not be able to shake things up, but it will certainly not be a problem to set off a storm in Southeast Asia.
However, Wang Guan is also quite self-aware. He knows that he is now an entourage similar to a follower and is not qualified to sit with a few people to drink tea and chat, so he stands aside wisely, listening to all directions and looking in all directions.
As time goes by, there are more and more guests in the gathering hall, and the atmosphere naturally becomes lively.
During this period, Wang Guan also saw Mr. Cai and Mr. Lu, which proved that his guess was correct. Mr. Lu passed Mr. Cai¡¯s test best and was invited to the party. But it was unexpected and yet expected. After seeing Mr. Fang and others, Mr. Cai immediately came over to greet them.
To be honest, when Mr. Cai walked by him, Wang Guan felt a little nervous. But thanks to the magical makeup skills, Mr. Cai actually turned a blind eye to him. After greeting several elderly people with a smile, he didn't notice anything unusual until he turned around and left. In other words, Mr. Cai was not aware of his flaw at all.
For a moment, Wang Guan let out a sigh of relief, and his confidence immediately exploded. Even Mr. Cai, who had just been in contact with him, didn't notice it. Mr. Zhu Da, who was a complete stranger and only knew him through photos, was even less likely to discover anything.
Thinking of this, Wang Guan also put down his burden and observed the guests in the hall openly. Not only the guests, but also their entourage were secretly wondering who Mr. Zhu Da was.
Of course, the focus of observation must be those with beards and glasses. There are not many people like this, but there are also quite a few. Anyway, after watching for a while, Wang Guan found seven or eight such targets. In particular, there were some rich people from the Central Asian ethnic groups who still had their heads wrapped in the hall, which made him shake his head and sigh, feeling a little more distressed.
No matter what, Wang Guan has also locked onto these targets and has been secretly paying attention to their words and deeds, hoping to find flaws in them and confirm the true identity of Mr. Zhu Da.
At the same time, maybe the guests had already arrived, and at the organizer¡¯s signal, the cheerful music stopped. Then a foreigner with blond hair, blue eyes, and a tall nose in a suit came out. He was babbling and didn't know what he was talking about, and he was greeted with a burst of warm applause.
When Wang Guan hesitated, he saw a group of guests standing up and walking out of the hall in an orderly manner. Seeing Mr. Fang doing the same thing at this time, he also realized that the highlight of the party might be about to begin.
Meeting to communicate, connect emotionally, and meet new friends is definitely one of the purposes. But selling some shady and very precious items has also attracted many people's interest.
However, as the flow of people arrived at another spacious cabin, the situation here was somewhat beyond Wang Guan's expectation. In his imagination, an auction should be held at this time. But I didn't expect that this huge cabin was not just an auction house, but an exhibition hall.
When I came here, I took a quick look and saw many objects in the hall. Not only Chinese ceramic calligraphy and painting, but also art treasures from all over the world. Gold, silver, gems, books, calligraphy and paintings, famous watches, red wine, etc., are all dazzling.
"Everyone, look."
At this moment, an old man seemed to have discovered something good and immediately called everyone to stop and watch. After getting closer, Wang Guan immediately noticed a bright yellow luster coming into his eyes, and what he saw was a gilded Buddha statue.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Buddha statue is decorated with conch hair on the head and a cassock with the right shoulder exposed. The Bodhisattva wears a hair crown and a bun, with a net-shaped necklace on the upper body and a long skirt on the lower body.
The surface is gold-plated, the gold is pure and thick, bright and pleasing to the eye. When illuminated by the light, it immediately zooms out with a bright golden flash, which is very eye-catching. Especially for the rich in Southeast Asia, it is extremely tempting.
So at this time, not only Fang Lao and others, but also some people noticed this exquisite Buddha statue and gathered around it. After admiring it for a moment, many people showed interest.
"This is something from the Yongxuan period."
At the same time, someone came to such a conclusion, but it made more people ready to take action.
You must know that as far as Buddhist collections are concerned, domestic collectors are more enthusiastic about Buddhist statues from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially those from the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, which are the focus of everyone's pursuit.
After all, in everyone¡¯s opinion, things from the Yongxuan era are top-notch. The sweet white and red ones of Yongle, the blue and white flowers and copper stoves of Xuande are all rare treasures. After these things became popular, everyone's attention also focused on the Buddha statues of this period. And due to the maturity of overseas markets, the price of high-quality Buddha statues has already entered the era of 100 million yuan.
For example, at this year¡¯s Sotheby¡¯s Hong Kong autumn auction, a gilt-bronze Buddha from the Yongle Ming Dynasty finally exceeded HK$200 million, which is very eye-catching and has also led to the continued heating up of the Buddha statue market.
Since everyone present pays attention to the Buddha statues, they naturally understand the dynamics of the market and the value of things.
Of course, the most important thing is that the things that appear here have somewhat problematic origins. Then when buying and selling, the price must be lower than the market price, so for some people, this is a good opportunity to pick up the slack.
