Zhang Yilong recognized the man who walked into the hall surrounded by a large number of people at a glance. He was actually Mr. Hua, the big collector who had done business with him not long ago. This man was highly respected in the industry and deeply respected. popular.
"Master Gu said that a master master would come, and it turned out to be Mr. Hua! His appraisal skills are so good, so we have hired the right person!" Zhang Yilong thought to himself, Mr. Hua is one of the people he admires most in the antiques business. He wanted to become his teacher, but he didn't have the chance. Although he had direct contact with him last time, the relationship was not deep and he only had direct contact once or twice. He didn't know if the other party still remembered him now. .
"Master Gu, that's Mr. Hua." Zhang Yilong couldn't help but said.
"What?" Gu Changqing seemed a little surprised and said, "Brother Zhang, do you know Mr. Hua?"
"Who doesn't know Mr. Hua on the antique street?" Zhang Yilong nodded solemnly, "To tell you the truth, I have cooperated with him. Master Gu, Mr. Hua should be an old member of this club, right?" "
Gu Changqing replied: "Yes, he has been a distinguished guest of our club a long time ago. Brother Zhang, Mr. Hua is a very good person. If you have any questions, you can ask him directly. He will tell you everything."
"Haha, I know this." Zhang Yilong smiled and nodded. "Mr. Hua is like everyone's mentor. Give him something to ask for. He will respond to your request. It's just that he is too busy and is basically difficult to touch. To others. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not easy to visit them.¡±
Gu Changqing nodded gently and agreed: "Yes, he likes to help people. There are too many people looking for him, so he is naturally very busy. Brother Zhang, it's a pity that your master is not out of the mountain, otherwise there will be too many people in this industry You have become a master! But you have such profound attainments at a young age, and your future is limitless!"
"No." Zhang Yilong quickly shook his head and said modestly. "Master Gu, you have given me a reward."
In fact, he is telling the truth. He mainly relies on his clairvoyance to identify treasures. This is his biggest advantage. In addition, his actual appraisal level is far inferior to Gu Changqing's. It is even further out of reach to reach the level of Hua Lao.
The reason why Zhang Yilong originally made up such a beautiful lie, saying that there was a master behind him who taught him Feng Shui and antique appraisal, was because he had to make excuses for his magical abilities, otherwise it would make people suspicious, no master It's so unreasonable for Zitong to be so powerful.
"Master Gu, I take the liberty to ask." Zhang Yilong immediately changed the subject.
"Brother Zhang, if you have any questions, just ask me directly. You don't have to be polite in front of me." Gu Changqing nodded with a smile on his face.
Zhang Yilong asked: "How is your relationship with Mr. Hua? It should be good, right?"
"Speaking of which, he is still my uncle, and my master has a close friendship with him, but it's a pity alas!" At this point, Gu Changqing let out a long sigh. His master's incident has always been a scar in his heart. It hurts when exposed.
After a pause, he continued: "After my master left, I seldom interacted with my uncle, and he didn't come to my store very often. I wanted to invite him to dinner many times before, everyone. Let's get together and have a good chat. But as you said, he is too busy. He is either going to Hong Kong, Hong Kong and other places to collect, or going abroad for inspections, or doing programs. How can he be like your master, living incognito and living in anonymity? A very quiet day.¡±
Zhang Yilong looked straight and said solemnly: "Master Gu, Mr. Hua is your uncle after all. I think he still cares about the relationship between you and him. You should have more contact with him if you have the opportunity in the future."
Gu Changqing said: "I hope that's the case. I recently heard that he is working on the 'Recovery Museum'. I will go and see it when it is launched."
"Oh, really?" Zhang Yilong said in surprise, "You must go and appreciate it! For such a big collector as Mr. Hua, his collection is probably very rich, and it will be dizzying for everyone to see!"
Gu Changqing nodded and said: "He must have collected a lot of good things, including many national treasure-level masterpieces! Doesn't he like to participate in auctions held by international auction companies such as Christie's? Those national treasures lost abroad in our country's history are now It frequently appears on the bidding tables of these big auction companies. Many people with lofty ideals spend their own money to take it back and return the cultural relics. Hua Lao is one of them! I once heard someone talk about the famous painting "Royal Autumn Hunting" collected by the Qing Palace. It¡¯s in the hands of Mr. Hua, but I haven¡¯t had a chance to see it yet. It¡¯s a good thing, a true national treasure and ancient painting!!¡±
"How much will it cost?" Hearing this, Zhang Yilong sighed secretly, saying that Hua Lao was really rich and collected extensively and never stopped, often collecting items of low value.Fei's treasures, this can actually be seen from the fact that the other party spent a lot of money to acquire the piece of jade from him.
Zhang Yilong is not very clear about Hua Lao¡¯s background. He only knows that he is a celebrity in the collecting world and has a good reputation.
While Zhang Yilong and Gu Changqing were discussing, Hua Lao and several other masters were already sitting on the podium. There were five appraisers lined up behind the podium, waiting to communicate with everyone.
Later, the host spoke. He asked everyone to be quiet. If they had any questions, they took turns to come to the stage to ask Mr. Hua and others.
There is nothing wrong with Zhang Yilong. The pair of palace lanterns he brought are very open. There is no doubt that he is just here to communicate and appreciate the collections brought by others.
Soon, someone came forward to inquire. Zhang Yilong sat there and watched carefully.
"Red porcelain under glaze!" Suddenly, Zhang Yilong's eyes lit up. What appeared in front of him at this moment was a large porcelain jar. The large jar was brightly colored and extremely magnificent.
After all, Zhang Yilong has been in this industry for so long. Although his appraisal knowledge is limited, he has seen a lot of good things with his own eyes. The large jar that immediately caught his eye was a jar from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. At first glance, it seemed to have a correct shape. , the surface is painted with entwining lotus patterns, and the colors become more and more gorgeous as you look at them.
"There should be no problem with that thing!" Zhang Yilong secretly made a judgment. The boss who looked like a high official seemed to be here to show off. Such exquisite porcelain must cost several million.
Regarding this point, Zhang Yilong has actually thought of it for a long time. The people who come to such a high-end club to participate in the treasure appraisal exchange meeting are either rich or expensive. The things they collect in their hands are naturally guaranteed. They will never take anything casually. To embarrass themselves, what they want is the envy and jealous looks of others.
"Brother Long, have you seen it? That piece of porcelain is so beautiful!"
Zhang Zhibin's low voice of admiration suddenly sounded in his ears. Zhang Yilong shook his head, nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it. The large jar with red underglaze lotus pattern and lotus pattern in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty is indeed rare and precious!"
"Yes." Zhang Zhibin responded, "But it's just a piece of porcelain. Except for Yuan blue and white, porcelain is very common in the antique market, but compared to your pair of 'Moon Shadow Lamps', they are much inferior! Things are so good." Rare is precious, and this thing of yours is unique and extremely precious!¡±
Zhang Yilong chuckled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Porcelain is easy to sell and the price is easy to reflect. It's interesting to hold it in my hand and play with it."
"That means the things are more ornamental and have higher collection value!" Zhang Zhibin said firmly.
Next, Zhang Yilong saw many other good things, such as "blue and white bowls with hidden dragon patterns", "official kiln Cong style bottles", Kangxi pastel porcelain and so on, including jade and gold, silver and bronze. However, porcelain is the most popular, and every piece of it is authentic. If it were sold at an auction, almost every piece would fetch a sky-high price of more than 10 million.
From this you can imagine how wealthy these people are. It makes sense to be a businessman. They make money through business. After making a lot of money, they collect and cultivate their sentiments. However, those who are officials also have antiques worth tens of millions. That's a bit unreasonable, unless their family is already very wealthy, otherwise the origin of the things is worthy of investigation.
¡°But this is not Zhang Yilong¡¯s business, he is not Ji. He has no control over whether others are greedy or not, and he doesn't want to meddle in other people's affairs.
Zhang Yilong and Zhang Zhibin were dazzled by what they saw. It was really not in vain for them to come tonight. They saw so many good things in one night that they had not seen in the previous year.
"Brother Zhang, do you want to go up and show the things to Mr. Hua and the others?" At this moment, Gu Changqing, who was sitting next to him, greeted him.
Zhang Yilong reacted immediately, smiled slightly and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of this thing. Master Gu, what about you? What good things did you bring?"
"I didn't bring anything good, just a few pieces of jade." Gu Changqing replied.
Zhang Yilong said: "I was really surprised just now! They all brought such beautiful things! None of them had any problems. Mr. Hua nodded and said yes. It seems that this is not an appraisal meeting, but an exhibition. "
"Haha, it was originally a free exhibition." Gu Changqing said with a smile, "Everyone here is like a family. If you have good things, bring them out and enjoy them together. After your things are unveiled, someone may come to talk to you later. .¡±
"Oh, that's right." Zhang Yilong nodded and said as if he suddenly understood.
Hearing what Gu Changqing said, Zhang Yilong suddenly felt that this was a great opportunity in front of him. He had just been introduced by Gu Changqing. Except for Sister Ying and Kuang Lin, no one knew him at all. This was not a good opportunity. Phenomenon.
Now that you are here, you need to make some friends, which will greatly expand your contacts in the future.
As the saying goes, the more friends you have, the easier your journey will be. This is especially true in the antiques industry!
So he made a decision, turned around and whispered to Zhang Zhibin: "Xiaobin, you and Sanlin get ready, and we will also go and let Mr. Hua take a look. With their eyes, we will feel more at ease!"
