Chapter 184
“Orchid Pavilion Prelude?”
The female receptionist blinked and asked unsurely.
“Hmm.”
“Okay, you sit inside first, I’ll help you ask.”
Although Jia Jia looks like a college student, he is a guest when he comes.
It doesn’t matter if people can afford it, just come on, make demands, and do your job.
There are not so many pretenses in life, and the female front desk is just an ordinary employee, and she does not take people by her appearance.
What’s more, she has come into contact with many bigwigs, and few can tell from her appearance that she has money or not.
Jia Jia walked inside, next to the rest area, empty ~ empty.
She sat down, and soon someone came to deliver – a cup of tea.
“Thank you.”
Jia Jia held the teacup and waited quietly, taking a look at the auction house by the way.
Outside the rest area, there is an open space, which has been renovated into an exhibition hall.
In the exhibition hall, there are small display cases, most of which are empty.
Further inside, there are office areas.
In one of the reception rooms, Mr. Yang of Christie’s is receiving guests.
Among them, there are several figures, and Lin Xiao is no stranger.
Ma Weidu, Dean Tao…
“Wait a minute, I’ll take a call.”
Mr. Yang picked up the mobile phone, saw the incoming call, did not evade, and connected it directly.
“Anyone want to buy it? Okay, I’ll come over now. ”
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Yang got up and said, “Another one who is interested, everyone sit first.” ”
He left the waiting room and came to the rest area, where he saw the little girl mentioned by the female staff at the front desk.
It’s really a little girl.
This one actually came to buy “Orchid Pavilion Preface”?
Mr. Yang asked himself to read countless people, and he could also see that he was seven seven eight eight when he looked at people.
But the one in front of him, forgive him for being clumsy, really can’t see it.
But do not dare to snub, people can come, obviously understood in advance.
At least a few hundred million things, without this capital will not come.
“Hello.”
Mr. Yang smiled and asked, “What is the name of the young lady?” ”
Jia Jia put down the teacup and stood up busily: “Hello, my surname is Lin.” ”
“Hello Miss Lin.”
Mr. Yang shook hands with her, sat down, introduced himself, and then said, “Miss Lin wants to buy the Orchid Pavilion Preface?” ”
“Yes, sell?”
“Uh…”
“Selling is definitely selling, but auctioning. If Miss Lin is interested, you can leave your contact information, and when the auction starts, we will send someone to contact you. ”
“Can’t buy it today?”
Jia Jia had some regrets that he even had to auction.
Mr. Yang smiled and said, “This collection is precious, and the seller’s demand is also auctioned. ”
“Okay.”
Jia Jia asked, “Then when will it be auctioned?” ”
“The time has not yet been decided.”
“So… Then Yang always give me a business card. ”
“Okay.”
Mr. Yang took out his business card and handed it over.
Jia Jia took the business card, did not linger, and got up directly: “Then I will go first.” ”
“I’ll send Miss Lin.”
Send Jia Jia to the elevator and watch her enter the elevator with a smile.
“I don’t know which eldest lady it is.”
Yang didn’t think much about it, it didn’t make much sense.
Jia Jia took the elevator downstairs, called the old brother, turned off the computer, and couldn’t get through.
“Brother seems to be on the plane, right?”
“Go back to the hotel first.”
Jia Jia gets into a taxi and returns to the hotel.
Dad immediately came over: “How is it?” Bought it? ”
“No, people won’t sell it until the auction.”
“And the auction?”
“Yes.”
“What about your brother, did you come back?”
“It seems to be already on the plane, it should be almost there.”
When she went out, Lin Xiao was almost on the plane, and an hour had passed.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiao came out of the airport.
The phone turns on and a string of missed calls.
Jia Jia called, Zhao Yiming called.
He first called Jia Jia back, telling her that he had got off the plane, and also learned that Jia Jia had been to the auction house.
I learned that the auction house was going to conduct an auction at the auction.
However, it is not said whether it is auctioned domestically or abroad.
After hanging up the phone, he dialed Zhao Yiming’s phone again.
“Yiming, what’s going on?”
“Why did you turn off your phone? I can’t get through to you for several times. ”
“I’m sleeping, there’s no electricity.”
“Cut.” Zhao Yiming didn’t believe it, but Lin Xiao didn’t say he didn’t ask.
“The Orchid Pavilion Preface has retired, and now it’s at Christie’s.”
Lin Xiao pretended to be surprised: “Retreated? It’s fast enough. ”
“That’s, can it not be fast. It was originally fake, if the return is a little slower, you watch, Christie’s can be scolded to death. Fortunately now, I looked at the comments on the Internet, basically nothing scolding, Christie’s wave of reverse marketing is not bad. ”
“By the way, do you want to take a look at the Orchid Pavilion Preface?”
“Can you see it?”
“If you want to go, you can definitely take me with you, and I’ll take a look.”
“Haven’t you seen it?”
“I didn’t look carefully last time.”
“Do you want to see it and use me to bring it?”
“I really can’t watch it if you don’t take me…”
Zhao Yiming’s tone was a little resentful: “My father is reluctant to spend that money to buy it, I have no money myself, people Christie’s must know who I am?” ”
“It shouldn’t matter if you just look at it, right?”
“You think too much.” Zhao Yiming said: “This level of cultural relics, unless it is a character of Mr. Ma’s level, otherwise, I estimate that even if you go over, you have to open an asset certificate.” ”
“Okay, when you want to go, I’ll take you with you.”
“Anytime, it’s up to you.”
“Then now.”
“Now? Okay, then we’ll see you at Christie’s. ”
“First of all, I didn’t open an asset certificate, I may not be able to see it when I go, don’t blame me at that time.”
“If you can’t watch it, next time, go first.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao took a taxi to Christie’s.
Fifty minutes later, he met Zhao Yiming downstairs in the building, and Zhou Hang followed.
The three took the elevator up to the 26th floor.
Entering the auction house, the female staff at the front desk said, “Do you three have any needs?” ”
Lin Xiao said, “Is Yang always there?” ”
“Yes, what is the name of the sir?”
“Lin Xiao.”
“Hmm.”
The three sat in the rest area, and the female employee walked towards the rest area behind.
Mr. Yang has no guests at this time.
“Knock knock.”
“Come in.”
“Squeak~”
The door was pushed open, and the female employee said, “President Yang, a guest named Lin Xiao came to find you.” ”
“Lin Xiao?”
This name sounds familiar.
He came out with the female employee and saw three people in the rest area.
These three people, he looked a little familiar, but he couldn’t remember where they had seen them.
Lin Xiao got up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand: “President Yang, meet again.” ”
Mr. Yang was curious: “Mr. Lin? Have we seen it? ”
Lin Xiao said with a smile: “Two days ago, when the Palace Museum evaluated the Orchid Pavilion Preface, I was present. ”
Mr. Yang suddenly saw it there.
Mr. Yang asked, “Is Mr. Lin looking for me for something?” ”
“I want to buy the Orchid Pavilion Preface.”
“Then we’ll have to wait for the auction.”
“Is the time for the auction set?”
“Not yet, but it should be in the past few days, the seller is quite anxious to make a move.”
And they actually want to sell it early, and the most important thing is that this wave of heat is still there.
Although it is a facsimile, the facsimile is also a fine product, and it is also very valuable.
Today, there are more than 100 people who have consulted by telephone and come to consult in person.
They now have enough customers to have an auction tomorrow and don’t have to worry about anything.
Lin Xiao asked, “Is it auctioned in China?” ”
“Yes, domestically.”
“Then can I take a look first?”
That’s what he’s here for today.
His money is already in place, and now the focus is on the authenticity of this “Orchid Pavilion Preface”.
“Not today.”
Mr. Yang shook his head and said, “Mr. Lin left a phone number for me, and when the auction date is set, I will contact you.” ”
“Good.”
It’s a pity that you can’t watch it, but there is always a chance to watch it.
After leaving the phone, Lin Xiao did not stay, and the two left directly.
In the elevator, Zhao Yiming said regretfully: “I thought I could see it today.” ”
“I don’t know when this auction will wait.” (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
Zhou Hang said: “It shouldn’t be too long, I guess it’s just in the past few days.” ”
Lin Xiao nodded, he also felt so.
This wave of popularity is rare, and if you don’t take advantage of this wave of heat to sell, it will be difficult to sell at a high price in the future.
After coming out, the three of them ate something casually.
Coming out of the restaurant, the three separated, and Lin Xiao returned to the hotel.
He had just entered the room when his cell phone rang.
When I took it out, I was surprised that it was Mr. Yang who called.
“Hello Mr. Yang.”
“Mr. Lin, the date of the auction has been decided, and the staff will send you the auction matters by text message in a moment.”
“Are you sure? What day? ”
“The day after tomorrow.”
Although I knew that Christie’s would conduct an auction soon, I didn’t expect it to be so soon.
Lin Xiao asked, “What about the preview?” ”
“Preview tomorrow.” Mr. Yang said, “If Mr. Lin is interested, he can come and see it tomorrow.” ”
“Good.”
Hung up, and soon, he received a text message.
The text message details the time and place of the auction, as well as the proof of assets required to participate in the auction.
In addition, there is tomorrow’s preview, which is only half a day in the afternoon.
To participate in the preview, proof of assets is also required.
Those who can participate in this auction, let alone half a day, or half an hour, they can also get proof of assets.
People like Ma Weidu can participate without proof of assets.
Lin Xiao has not yet reached this point.
He sent a text message to Zhao Yiming and briefly told him about tomorrow’s preview.
Zhao Yiming immediately replied, he will go together tomorrow.
Put down the mobile phone, Lin Xiao walked into the living room of the suite, and the three turned their heads to look at him.
“Brother, you’re back.”
“Hmm.” Lin Xiao said, “Tomorrow’s auction preview, come with me.” ”
“Tomorrow? Is it so fast? ”
“Hmm.”
Lin Xiao said, “I will take you to get an asset certificate early tomorrow, and I will use it for the auction the day after tomorrow.” ”
This thing can be opened if there is money, anyway, when the time comes, he will pay for it.
After taking a bath, Lin Xiao leaned on the sofa and brushed his mobile phone, brushing and finding that Christie’s actually released the news of the auction of “Orchid Pavilion Preface” the day after tomorrow.
Ask for flowers 0
Moreover, the day after tomorrow turned out to be a live auction!
I really know how to play, and I was stunned to bring up the attention.
Look at the popularity of this news, no worse than the original London auction.
Big companies are different, marketing is playful.
……
Early the next morning, at nine o’clock, the two went out together.
He applied for a certificate of assets himself, and contacted an agency to get one for Jiajia.
After completing the certificate, Lin Xiao said: “In the afternoon, you can go over by yourself, just take a look.” Specifically whether to buy or not, I’ll tell you when I come back in the evening. ”
“Oh.”
Jia Jia wondered, the old brother has not decided to buy it?
Time flies.
At half past twelve, Lin Xiao and Jia Jia each drove to Christie’s downstairs.
Lin Xiao saw Zhao Yiming and Zhou Hang here.
These two are both rich second-generation, but they are not eligible to participate in this level of auction.
“Let’s go.”
The three took the elevator upstairs, entered the auction house, registered, and presented proof of assets.
There are already many people in the huge pavilion next to it.
Lin Xiao saw many familiar figures.
“Teacher Ma.”
“You’re here too.” Ma Weidu said, “You are also interested in this thing?” ”
“Come and see.”
Lin Xiao swept around and found that everyone was gathered in one place.
Surprised: “Just this one thing?” Wouldn’t you just auction this one tomorrow? ”
“How else? This time it is a special session of “Orchid Pavilion Preface”, and there is only this one. ”
“Then tomorrow’s transaction price may not be low.”
“I estimate it to be around 600 million.”
Zhao Yiming said, “It’s not worth this money, right?” ”
Ma Weidu said: “The main thing is that many museums participate this time, and the museum has a sum of money every year to buy cultural relics outside.” If they only rush to this cultural relic this year, it is normal to raise the price to five or six hundred million. ”
Without the mixing of museums, this copy can be taken down by about 500 million.
But you can’t reason with a group of museums.
People have special funds, and they are not distressed to spend them.
Lin Xiao said in his heart, fortunately, I have prepared a billion yuan, no matter how much the museum raises the price, I can win it.
Ma Weidu said: “This time, it’s really hard to say who can buy it, I, that is, make a splash.” The main thing is to see these museums, and… The Louvre and those few. ”
“Louvre?” Lin Xiao said, “They are not qualified to buy this thing, right?” ”
“How is it not qualified?”
Ma Weidu shook his head: “The seller is of Chinese nationality, and Christie’s just held the auction in China, and buyers from all over the world can participate.” There are no first-class cultural relics and second-class cultural relics, unless they are bought by domestic buyers, then they will be traded later, and they will not be allowed to go abroad. ”
Lin Xiao suddenly missed this stubble.
Ma Weidu said: “There are also some buyers from the cherry blossom country, it is really difficult to say who can buy this thing.” ”
Lin Xiao snorted, this has nothing to do with him.
He now only cares if the calligraphy is true or not.
If it’s true, whoever comes, can’t rob him.
If it’s just a copy, then it doesn’t matter, he doesn’t want it when the price is high, and he loves who buys who buys.
He walked over and waited outside the crowd.
There are so many people watching that you can only line up.
But not many people offer to get started.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, it was finally Lin Xiao’s turn.
Looking at it again after four or five days, this time Lin Xiao looked more seriously.
In the entire “Orchid Pavilion Preface”, there are dozens of seals alone.
These seals include the seals of famous men in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as well as the seals of Wang Xi and the drop money, as well as the collection and appreciation seals of some descendants.
The reason why Lin Xiao guessed that this copy was genuine was because of the seals left by these famous men during the Eastern Jin Dynasty!
He looked around and looked at Mr. Yang on the side: “Mr. Yang, can you get started?” ”
“Yes.”
He already knew who Lin Xiao was, Jinling Leak King, that Boss Lin.
It’s famous.
Receiving Yang Zong’s consent, Lin Xiao reached out and touched the silk book of the Orchid Pavilion Preface.
As soon as his fingers touched the silk, the relevant information suddenly appeared.
Item: Calligraphy.
Detail:?
Material: silk.
Era: Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Condition: Excellent.
Quality: Excellent.
Summary: A deeply hidden national treasure!
Market price: 8 billion.
Recycling price: 8.8 billion.
Lin Xiao took his hand back, as he expected, this “Orchid Pavilion Preface” is a genuine work!
The systematic evaluation perfectly confirmed his guess.
Even, beyond his estimates.
Recycling price, up to 8.8 billion!
This is outrageous!
As for why it is so outrageous, Lin Xiao also has some guesses.
But this is clearly not the time to care about that.
What he has to do now is buy this calligraphy!
In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Xiao just touched it, and then left.
His actions went unnoticed by anyone.
Then, Jia Jia also came to see.
When Yang Zong saw this little girl, his heart was really white and rich.
Sure enough, people can’t look good.
“Teacher Ma, I’ll go first.”
“Will you go to the auction tomorrow?”
“Go for sure.”
“See you tomorrow then.”
