Chapter 95: Yu Xuan

There were about 30 individuals and antique dealers who came to participate in the collection company auction this time. In addition to the assistants and appraisers they brought, there were almost 100 people. However, in groups of ten people, each group was approved for ten minutes, and it was Fang Yi and the others soon.

"Let's go, don't talk nonsense after going up..." Man Jun whispered to Fang Yi, "Those who come here today are all leaders in various industries. As the saying goes, capable people have a big temper, and if they say something wrong, they may offend people.

"Old Yu, let's go up too..."

When Fang Yi and the others stood up, Su Shilun, who was sitting next to him, also greeted the old man he brought to stand up. It can be seen that this rich man who could rank among the top in China respected the old man very much.

According to the requirements, each buyer could only bring one appraiser to the field, so although three people came to Su Shilun and the others, Officer Bai could only sit down. Fang Yi looked at her when he stood up. Through the black-framed glasses, he could see a little resentment in Officer Bai's eyes.

"Old Yu? This... is this man Yu Xuan in southern Fujian?" Hearing Su Shilun's name to the old man, Man Jun, who had already walked out of his seat, couldn't help but pause, and suddenly turned around and looked at the old man, with a look of shock and doubt in his eyes.

"Brother Man, what's wrong?" Fang Yi gently pushed his shoulders on the way by Man Jun.

"Oh, no...it's okay..."

Man Jun quickly walked a few steps, but after walking out of that row, Man Jun stopped and let Su Shilun and the others walk in front, while his eyes carefully looked at the face of the old man.

"Brother Man, know him?" Fang Yi asked in the ear of Man Jun after Su Shilun and the old man Yu walked out seven or eight meters.

"It's him..." Man Jun nodded and said, "This Mr. Su is really rich and powerful. He can actually invite Mr. Yu to help him. I'm afraid that his expenses this time are not as high as those of Mr. Yu..."

"This person is very famous in the antique appraisal business?" Fang Yi is still in the learning stage of just a little knowledge of the antique appraisal business. Apart from the teacher, he has no idea what other famous appraisers there are in China.

"Is your master famous for his identification of calligraphy, painting and ceramics?"

Man Jun walked up the stage and whispered: "Old Yu is a master of the country in terms of antiques and miscellaneous things. Deputy Director Zhao is at least several levels worse than him. Moreover, he is also a master of seal carving. The private seals of the national leaders are all written by him..."

Man Jun had never seen Mr. Yu, but he had seen Mr. Yu's photos in some published books about antiques and miscellaneous knowledge, and he also heard a lot of rumors about him in the circle.

Unlike Mr. Sun who basically doesn’t get involved in antiques trading, Yu Xuan likes to go to the market to find bargains, so later everyone who sets up stalls in the city where he is known to him. As long as Yu Xuan likes something, the vendors can shout out a sky-high price.

However, although Yu Xuan likes to find bargains on Taobao, he rarely helps people identify antiques and miscellaneous items. As far as Man Jun knows, Yu Xuan helped people identify an object three years ago. The cost of the appraisal was five times the value of the object itself.

Now that Su Shilun has invited this master, it is necessary to say that he will definitely give a sky-high appraisal fee. Otherwise, with Yu Xuan's status as a martial artist, how could he go to an auction store of such a large scale to help people appraise?

"What do they like in the future? Let's just buy it with us?" Fang Yi laughed and said in a low voice: "It's impossible to buy fake things with them, right?"

"Buy with them? That's a violation of the rules and offends people. How can you think of it?"

Man Jun scoffed at Fang Yi's words and said, "They are watching miscellaneous things, and we are watching calligraphy and paintings. This is not a whole way. And even if we buy them, can you fight for money?"

There is an unwritten rule in antique shops, that is, when trading in non-auction places, once someone picks up an object to check, others will not be allowed to snatch or bid during this period. Only after the person puts it down and says he doesn't want it, others can obtain this right, otherwise it will be a broken rule.

Although the auction focuses on the price of those with the highest price, with Su Shilun's wealth and Mr. Yu's status in the world, even if someone wants to compete for what he wants to buy, he may not be able to compete with Su Shilun and offend the other party for nothing in the end.

Fortunately, although Su Shilun often participates in various auctions, his main focus is on antiques of cultural and art, which does not conflict with the calligraphy and painting ceramics pursued by antique merchants. Otherwise, with his wealth, he would probably be able to sweep all antique transactions and auctions in China.

"Fang Yi, what are you going to see?"

After coming to the stage, Man Jun said to Fang Yi: "I'll look at these calligraphy and paintings, why don't you go to the cultural and miscellaneous places over there? If you like it, remember the phone number and see what the reserve price is when you start shooting?"

The reason why Man Jun thought Fang Yi would have a chance was because he had heard many people say that the auction held by the collection company may not be very low, but the reserve price is very low. If you encounter some unpopular collections, the failure to sell happens from time to time.

"Brother Man, you are busy with yours, I'm here to learn..."

Fang Yi laughed when he heard this. Although there were a wide variety of antiques everywhere on the stage, there were not many that Fang Yi could recognize. In other words, there were a few gadgets such as cultural gourds and snuff bottles on a booth near the edge of the platform.

"Young man, are you interested in antiques and miscellaneous things too?"

When Fang Yi was talking to Man Jun, Old Yu had already taken Su Shilun to the booth where miscellaneous items were placed. When he saw Fang Yi coming over, he raised his head in surprise. Su Shilun had just told him that the antique dealer seemed to be the main business in calligraphy and painting.

"I'm still learning, you always look at it..." Fang Yi just stood aside, but didn't play with the objects. This was also a lesson and sold, and he applied the knowledge he had just heard from Man Jun.

"There are not many young people who know how to be modest now..."

Old Yu sighed with emotion. Some of the young people he met over the years are becoming more and more impetuous. He just knew a little bit of superficiality and wanted to make money, and he didn't know how to respect teachers and education at all.

Last year, Mr. Yu encountered something in Panjiayuan, Beijing. At that time, he found that a bronze gilded Buddha statue was placed on a stall. Its shape and age were a bit like it was made by the palace building office during the Five Emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Mr. Yu negotiated the price with the vendor at that time.

The vendor's offer is not high, only 50,000 yuan. You should know that the items from the Qing Dynasty palace building office will be at least one million yuan when they are on auction. At that time, Mr. Yu was a little doubtful, so he picked up the Buddha statue and looked at it.

At this moment, a ray of sunlight shone on the Buddha statue. The refracted dazzling light suddenly made Mr. Yu discover something wrong. This must be an old object, because the surface of the old gilded bronze statue was dim, and the light refracted in the sun was very soft.

But before Mr. Yu could put down the Buddha statue, a young man who had been staying next to him snatched the Buddha statue and took out 50,000 yuan without saying a word and bought the Buddha statue.

At that time, Old Yu was angry and wondered why this young man didn't even look at the things, so why did he dare to spend 50,000 to buy this thing? After the young man made a deal with the vendor, Yu Xuan grabbed the young man and asked in person.

What Yu Xuan did not expect was that the young man's answer made him laugh and cry. The reason was very simple. This young man who opened an antique shop in the south knew Yu Xuan and knew Yu Xuan's reputation in miscellaneous appraisal, so he decided that this Buddha statue was a genuine product. In this way, he snatched it from Yu Xuan.

After finding out the whole story, Yu Xuan pointed out the fake point of the Buddha statue on the spot, then turned around and left, leaving the young man and the stall owner to argue.

Of course, the final result was that the vendor won, because the original price of handicrafts was difficult to limit, and he did not say that he was selling antiques, and he was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten, and even the young man who was in the market management office would not take any attention.
