Chapter 42 Ancestor Objects
By the way, I went to a nearby restaurant with Wen Zhi for a meal. He said that there was a century-old restaurant with good food.
At this time, many people who came to participate in the auction were also looking for restaurants nearby, and some people stayed directly at the lakeside hotel.
The place to eat was not far away and it was troublesome to park again, so Shen You and Wen Zhi walked directly over.
The antique lights on the street have been turned on, a few dead leaves have fallen to the ground, and the lights in the ancient building on one side reflect the old walls and bamboo branches.
There was a distance between them, but when the wind blew, the reflection of the swaying fishtail skirt on the ground would occasionally intersect with the black windbreaker beside them.
Just looking at the shadows under the lights, this scene also has a beautiful atmosphere.
Shen You didn't expect to be able to eat on the cruise ship.
Otherwise, I can’t imagine what the world of rich people can be like.
She has been in Jiangcheng for so long and has also been to Nanhu, but she didn't know these places before.
Before the food was served, Shen You suddenly received a message from Xu Jiayan, saying that he and the old man were staying in the hotel next door, and there were two big bosses from the collectors association.
There was a person who had just returned from the imperial capital and wanted to find someone to repair an ancestral thing. Professor Li was repairing cultural relics and couldn't take his hands off, so he recommended her.
If she has something she wants to take out, the end of the auction tomorrow will be a good opportunity.
Or she could stay here directly at night, and he could help book a room, which would be more convenient. There are safes in the hotel.
Shen You checked the hotel online and found it was extremely private. Some rooms were inaccessible even if you didn't have any identity. Money alone was not enough.
Shen You thanked him and said that he didn't need to book a hotel and would arrange the accommodation himself.
Then I sent a message to Professor Li, originally to say thank you, but the old man said,
"I really don't have time so I asked you to help me, so why are you thanking me?"
Shen You smiled, put away her phone, and ate.
They ordered the old-fashioned copper hot pot. She had eaten the modern mandarin duck hot pot before. This was the first time she tried this. The clear soup also had a unique flavor.
But before the meal was finished, it started raining outside.
"Okay now, I didn't bring an umbrella." Shen You looked out of the glass and sighed.
She had a spare umbrella and coat in her car, but the car didn't come over either.
"It's okay." Wen Zhi saw her confused expression and looked at the seasonal limited-edition osmanthus wine, "What's wrong?"
"I have to drive back to get some food later, and then find a hotel nearby. I can't eat anything with alcohol in it, and it would be a waste if I don't eat it."
This wine is priced at 88 a portion in the store.
Even if she didn't need the money, she couldn't bear to waste it like this. She really couldn't pack it up. The waiter reminded her when serving the food just now that the taste would deteriorate if it was kept for a long time.
Just as he was thinking about it, the palm with distinct phalanges on the opposite side stretched out, "Give it to me."
Shen You was surprised for a moment. Although she hadn't moved, some people would mind, especially those who were very particular about food, housing and transportation.
She handed the bowl over, and Wen Zhi started eating naturally.
"You just said you were looking for a hotel nearby? Are you with that person in the afternoon?"
He seemed to suddenly remember something and moved.
Shen You: "He said he could help with arrangements, but I declined."
It was very uncomfortable to stay in a hotel with Mr. Xu and a few big shots in the industry. I used to look up but not look down, and I was always in a social state.
"You are familiar with this place. Can you recommend a place for me to live?"
If you don’t live here, it will be too late to wait until the afternoon auction ends tomorrow to go back and get time.
And she wanted to see the special auction in the morning. Ancient coins have always been very popular in the collecting circle and were worth a look.
Wen Zhi nodded, "I'll send it to you now."
When I picked up my phone, I remembered that I hadn’t added a friend at all, so I scanned the QR code to add them.
This meal was paid for by Wen Zhi, and Shen You planned to invite him back next time, or he would count the money less twice when he went to the store in the future.
The rain had subsided when they left the store, and the waiter brought them an umbrella.
Shen You saw that the hotel was nearby, so she wanted to go there and get a room first before going back to the shop to get her things.
The hotel near Nanhu Lake used to receive a lot of customers coming to the auction, so it was basic to ensure the safety of things. Wen Zhi was also going to this hotel. Shen You thought for a while and said, "Don't tell me, this is your property too."
The house of this hotel was built later, but the garden behind it that connects to Nanhu Lake was not.
"It's not that, it's just getting to know the boss." The corners of his mouth raised.
The front desk registered with Shen You's ID card and asked, "Is it under Mr. Wen's account?"
"No, I'll pay for it myself." Shen You raised her phone and asked the other party to scan the QR code.
"Okay."
The front desk showed a standard smile and gave Shen You the room card.
It is also in Building 6 with the best view.
After that, Shen You and Wen Zhi separated. She drove back to the shop, selected a piece of porcelain that could be sold and that could be obtained in front of the big collectors, and put it in the safe.
Bring a change of clothes and return to the hotel.
It took a lot of time to go back and forth.
She didn't expect that this autumn auction would coincide with the time when a big boss wanted to restore ancestral cultural relics, and he organized a bureau in Nanhu.
Otherwise, I would definitely prepare in advance and there would be no need to make this trip.
Xu Jiayan said that the big boss was very influential in the collection circles of Haicheng and Imperial Capital.
If she could get this done, she would be able to gain a foothold in the industry.
Shen You opened the door, entered the room, put the safety lock on, found the safe, and put it in together with her suitcase.
Checked twice, nothing wrong.
Then he collapsed on the bed in a second, completely lost his image. After resting for a few minutes, he went to the balcony to have a look, which cost him 6,000 yuan to view.
She thought that since she was already staying in such an expensive hotel, it would not be short of a thousand or two thousand, so she directly chose a good one.
After a night of silence, Shen You had breakfast in the cafeteria the next day and rushed to the auction.
This one was really lively, with everything from copper coins to gold bars, gold leaves, and silver ingots.
The most valuable ones are the silver ingots with special shapes that were cast in ancient palaces.
There was just one, and the starting price was the same as gold bars, so there were a lot of people competing for it.
As for the jewelry category in the afternoon session, there were obviously more women coming.
The face that Shen You sent was raised from 200,000 to 800,000.
Two noble ladies with graceful temperament and a capable rich woman sister competed for several rounds, but Gu Yue gave up as early as 700,000 in the first two rounds.
Gu Shaoyu had asked Shen You how much this item was worth before. Although according to the rules of the auction, the buyer and seller did not disclose personal information, Shen You didn't lie to him. To be honest, it was 65 to 70.
It was probably Gu Shaoyu who reminded me.
Shen You doesn't care who takes the photo, as long as she makes money.
The items she sent were in good auction condition, and they couldn't be taken down without several rounds of raising cards.
After it was over, Shen You calculated his income for the past two days.
Yesterday it was more than 4 million, and today it is 1.65 million. After deducting hundreds of thousands of commissions, it is quite a lot.
The key is that these things cost very little to her.
After receiving the message from Xu Jiayan, Shen You went back to get her safe and went to the appointed place.
The evening game is in the hotel where Mr. Xu lives, which is the best private room.
Before they even entered, Shen You said, "I'm not sure it can be repaired until I look at the things that the collector brought."
It's an item passed down from his ancestors, and he's a big shot in the industry, so there's nothing wrong with it.
To say that I am not worried or nervous at all would be a lie.
Xu Jiayan smiled and said, "It's the dowry left by Mr. Zhang's grandmother. Don't worry, I asked Professor Li and he said it's okay for you to handle it."
He would not do anything like this if Shen You was asked to come without confirmation.
There is another chapter at the end, which will be updated later. You can read it again tomorrow morning
