Chapter 808 Little Beauty
The Mr. Liu who had a conflict with Zhou Zhi also came, and the female companion beside him was no longer Lu Siyi, but was replaced by Minnie who was deliberately dressed up and proud. When entering the venue, it also attracted the flashbulbs of many reporters.
"Did you see that? What did I say?" Li Lehai touched Zhou Zhi lightly and motioned for him to look at the door: "Lu Siyi is out of luck."
"So this Minnie is Is there a show?" Zhou Zhi glanced at One glance at the other side: "You're acting like a magpie."
"Let's take advantage of each other, no one will lose anyway, right?" Li Lehai twitched the corner of his mouth: "If you want to play like this, I Arrangement.”
"No." Zhou Zhi said in a low voice: "I heard that the market for cultural toys in Hong Kong has gone downhill. What you are doing is just arranging and arranging things for me to see."
"Take the big blue and white jar. Let's talk about it. Let's see how much foundation you have left." Li Lehai laughed and gloated: "That's it. Wanqiu read out the identification words, so he had to add a few more tricks..."
"Yes, there are many Buddhists here..." Zhou Zhi felt a little regretful, he should not have Xuande Kui The relationship between the dragon pattern and the Buddhist Capricorn Fish is written so clearly that this thing might even cause competition.
"If it doesn't work, forget it. The blue and white flowers of Ming and Xuande are not that great."
At this time, Mr. Liu's eyes seemed to have glanced over here, and then he saw Li Qiyan. Li Lehai and Zhou Zhi behind them quickly nodded to Li Lehai as a greeting and looked away.
At this moment, Mr. Liu's heart was full of regret. Li Qiyan had been in the limelight these past two days and was almost recognized as a collaborator or even an agent by some forces.
As one of the powerful families on the island, Mr. Liu certainly knows that donations of paintings and calligraphy, charity performances, scientific and technological cooperation, and friendly talks are all just pretenses.
Others agree that you will organize a charity performance, and are willing to accept your donation of paintings and calligraphy. They will ask you to contact us for technological cooperation, issue an invitation, and name you to go to the capital for talks on behalf of Hong Kong Island. We will listen to the local opinions you convey, and then let you Come back and convey the spirit of the instructions. This is what gets recognition. This is the core of the problem.
Obviously, tonight’s banquet is nominally a warm-up event for the auction organized by Lin Wanqiu Studio. In fact, everyone knows that this is actually the Li family standing at a new starting point, preparing to ride on the wind. announcement.
Unless you immigrate offshore, it will be difficult to avoid the Li family when working on Hong Kong Island to make a fortune in the future.
Originally, I had a good relationship with the second son of the Li family, but now Ah Can seems to be standing between them. It is obvious that the Li family still attaches great importance to this person.
What Mr. Liu regrets is that he originally got the opportunity in advance, but because of a water dispenser, he not only missed the opportunity, but also offended others.
If we had known this earlier, TVB would not have arranged the script of the hot water room like that two days ago...
Who is this guy? It's still a mystery to this day.
What can be found so far is that this person is named Zhou Zhi. He published a well-received cookbook at a young age, and was hired by Lin Wanqiu as a partner and appraisal consultant of a mainland auction company.
Yesterday at the University of Hong Kong, he and the boss of the Li family did some experiment to prove the feasibility of information engineering, and was praised as a genius by the boss of the Li family.
That’s all.
But if it is really just that, is that kid now qualified to sit behind Li Qiyan and the mainland representatives, and also side by side with the second son of the Li family?
At that table, there are all important people who are either rich or noble. To be able to sit at the table, they have to be people like Li Laoer.
Thinking of this and feeling the extremely excited woman holding him, Mr. Liu couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He walked into the venue in a few steps, and then gritted his teeth and whispered to Minnie who came up with a surprised look on her face: "Please be quiet. It's not a high-profile place here today." The next morning, the auction officially began.
In addition to the wealthy people present at this auction, there were also a number of telephone agents.
Lin Wanqiu's clothes are much more open than those in the mainland. She wears a purple cheongsam that highlights her curvy figure. On her neck and earlobes, there is a set of imperial green jade jewelry.
It is said that the bead string around her neck was modified from a string of jade beads from the Qing Dynasty, which is valuable. The jewelry and exquisite makeup made the female host even more graceful.
The soft voice was transmitted to every corner of the auction hall through the microphone. This girl was able to switch freely in Cantonese, Mandarin, English, French and Spanish while talking and laughing, which also amazed Zhou Zhi.
And Zhou Zhi noticed a characteristic, that is, when she reported the latest auction price, she only used English that everyone could understand.
We talked and laughed happily when communicating, but when we made quotations, we were not verbose at all, creating a full sense of anxiety.
The collection of this auction is very rich. Except for one piece by Li Qiyan and one piece by Lin Wanqiu, the rest is a special topic called "Fuchengxing Treasures Auction".
The person who provides a large number of auction items is called Huang Yinghao. He has a store in Moro Street, where antique shops on Hong Kong Island are concentrated. It is called Fook Shing Hong, which belongs to the middle and upper-class antique shops on Hong Kong Island.
Huang Yinghao immigrated to Canada the year before last, and the antique shop was left to his apprentice Qu Jianming. This year, Qu Jianming was able to start his apprenticeship and set up his own antique store Yongbaozhai. He was a little disappointed with his master's store. Coming.
But he didn't have the strength to acquire his master's store, so Huang Yinghao found Lin Wanqiu's mother and wanted his niece to help him get a good price for his items.
Wenwan is a time-honored shop on Hong Kong Island, and they are all familiar with each other. Huang Yinghao's products are not top-notch, so Lin Wanqiu's mother acted like a good person and took the Xuande blue and white Kuilong jar from the Ming Dynasty. Came out and held a press conference.
As a result, when I met Li Qiyan, he wanted to transfer the pressure of players to compete for the "Chunhua Pavilion Tie" by auctioning the "Da Niku", which attracted many collectors.
I heard from Li Lehai that many of Master Huang's things were collected from old kilns. The so-called "old kilns" in Hong Kong Island Art and Entertainment Shop refer to old collectors in Hong Kong, Macao and New Zealand. House.
In addition, there are a lot of "export devices" and "export devices", which Master Huang collected from various countries in Arabia, the Mediterranean, and Europe.
It is said that sometimes it is quite risky, and several times I almost lost my life.
Zhou Zhi sat in the front row, silently watching each item being photographed by the big shots, but never taking action.
In his opinion, the price of these things is still too high. The price of similar items in cultural relics stores in the mainland can even be more than five times cheaper than here.
Therefore, he would only be interested in paying a high price unless it was a really cheap and rare antique, or it happened to fall into his collection category.
Because there were quite a lot of items and they were not on the important list, Lin Wanqiu briefly introduced them and then made a quick decision. Therefore, Zhou Zhi’s several bids were of no use. After a little hesitation, he was surpassed by others. In the past, he gave a lively reference.
Until something appeared, Zhou Zhi's expression finally became focused.
"Ming Dynasty antique jade statue pendant of god and man, made of Hetian jade, with simple craftsmanship, ancient color, and thick patina. The height is 4 cm and the width is 1.5 cm. The starting price is HKD 2,000. .”
