My backyard leads to wilderness

Seeing the taxi parked next to the big Michelin sign, Zhong Ning wanted to call his brother in advance to let him know that he had arrived.Unexpectedly, when Zhongning got off the car, he saw the straight general manager of Zhongda standing at the gate of the hotel in casual clothes.

"Brother, why did you come out to pick me up? I'm not a three-year-old kid, so I can't find a place?" Zhong Ning walked up to Zhong Li in two or three steps while talking, and gave him a big hug.

Zhong Li hugged his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for more than a month, and stretched out his hand to pat the muscles on his back that were hardening like iron, finally letting go of his fears for a whole month.

"Brother, how much did I sell for my ghost ball yesterday?" Zhong Ning asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment.

"Not sold." Zhong Li said.

"No way? The auction has passed?" Zhong Ning asked in surprise. He knew that the starting price must be too high. Who would spend 1000 million on a decoration.Fatty Qian said before that he could sell at least 1 million yuan, but Zhong Ning felt that it was a bit of a fantasy.

"So unconfident?" Zhong Li turned his head and said to Zhong Ning with some amusement, "It's just a simple adjustment of the auction period from yesterday to today. It's better to watch the transaction of your own things with your own eyes."

"Isn't the auction date all pre-booked? The auction house actually agreed?" Zhong Ning said, it was so difficult for them to discuss with Tianqi Auction House to change the date, so it doesn't make sense that this national auction ceremony with a higher standard is so easy to talk about.

"The Zhong family is not short of money, the old man has a lot of face." Zhong Li explained.

"Dad would come forward to meddle in such a trivial matter?" Zhong Ning said in surprise, the old man's temper is definitely like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.Since childhood, Zhong Ning has always believed in the belief that filial sons are born under the stick, and has never used the privileges in his hands to favor Zhong Ning for personal gain.

"Look what you're talking about! Since you gave Dad that mutton fat jade carving, he likes you now. Someone politely said that the jade carving is good, and the old man can talk to others for 10 minutes. If you boast more Two sentences, the old man can let go of the terms of the contract if he is not sure." Zhong Li said with a smile.

"Do you need to be so exaggerated!" Zhong Ning asked with a smile, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.

"If you don't believe me, you can go out and inquire." Zhong Li raised his eyebrows.

"Farewell, let that face-saving old man find out, and he will cut me again." Zhong Ning said with a smile.

The two brothers walked into the hotel while talking, but saw that the lobby that was originally used to receive guests was actually filled with transparent glass cabinets, and there were a variety of luxury goods and antiques in the glass cabinets.

"Yo~ Michelin is not a hotel but a retailer instead?" Zhong Ning said while looking at the things in the counter next to him.

"The auction association took over the entire Michelin hotel during the auction," Zhong Li explained.

"Is the auction house here too?" Zhong Ning asked.

"No, it's next to the song and dance theater." Zhong Li said.

"Song and Dance Theater?" If Zhong Ning was drinking water at this time, he must have sprayed: "Who is so talented? Set the venue for the auction at the Song and Dance Theater?"

"The stage is big, there are many auditoriums, there are private boxes, and the sound insulation is good. Why can't we hold an auction?" Zhong Li raised his eyebrows.

"Hearing what you said, it seems quite appropriate." Zhong Ning said, his eyes swept across the display cabinets at the side, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a hanging pearl in it.This glaze-like and gem-like luster is slightly familiar...

Not daring to make a judgment immediately, Zhong Ning suddenly stopped.

This is a string of miscellaneous treasure beads with a stone-blue sash, and the gem materials on it are mostly low-value materials such as material vessel core carvings. It can be seen that its original owner is not of high grade and has an average family background.Fortunately, this string of court beads was relatively well preserved, and Zhong Ning guessed that it was not bad, but not enough to be listed in an auction house.

Normally, Zhong Ning would definitely not take it seriously.It's just... the material of one of the three strings on the beads is not much different from the other two strings, but the faint fluorescence makes Zhong Ning keenly aware of the difference.

The same, it seems to be very similar to the Buddha head on the bracelet that Le Zhengyang gave him before.

A string of twists, a full 10 beads!If it was as Zhong Ning guessed, then he wouldn't have to stare at the prescriptions in the system exchange mall in a short period of time looking at the ocean and sighing!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhong Ning pretended to be slightly interested, and said to the waiter behind the counter: "Girl, show me this string of court beads."

The waiter with white silk gloves on his hands was very well trained to hold the delicate red velvet tray underneath, took out the beads and placed them firmly on the surface of the glass counter, and said: "This gentleman has a good eye, this string The fragrant wood-carved Arhat court beads in the middle of the Qing Dynasty are well preserved. The Buddha head carving is especially good, and the price is 28 RMB."

Zhong Ning leaned against the counter and did not reach out to touch the Chaozhu.Xindao, the waiter, has really been carefully trained. He knows that the material value of this court beads is not high, and he knows how to talk about the completeness and carving workmanship.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to check the appearance of things with a flashlight, Zhong Ning cast an identification technique on the chaozhu's record:

"Appraisal: A string of repaired fragrant wood-carved Arhat court beads in the late Qing Dynasty, with clouds on the back, is a modern handicraft.

Didi——Find 10 recyclable energy bodies hidden in blue glaze. "

really!Listening to the system notification tone, Zhong Ning felt a surge of ecstasy.A total of 10 recyclable energy bodies, how many good things can be exchanged for successfully!

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning calmly put down the flashlight in his hand, and said to the waiter: "The stone-blue ribbon, the main bead of fragrant wood, and the Buddha head and shoulders of the feeder, are the prices a bit high? Besides, This is back to the cloud, right?"

At this time, the man who had been standing in the center of the counter, the boss-like man heard the movement from Zhong Ning, and walked towards Zhong Ning.I saw him waving to the well-trained waiter next to him, indicating that he would entertain him personally, and said to Zhong Ning with a smile: "This gentleman is a man of knowledge, why don't you make a price, let's discuss it?"

Zhong Ning saw that this person looked like a person in charge, and said leisurely: "The price you just offered, if the Chaozhu fruit is really complete, it is not too expensive. But since the back cloud is a later match, it is natural It can’t be called complete, so the price has to be discounted. To tell you the truth, I’m in the carving business, and I like it when I see this good carving. How about it, I won’t cut you too much 20, I'll take it if I sell it."

"You chopped off one-third of me all at once, don't you want to cut more!" said the manager, pretending to be embarrassed, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you an opening price today, 20 Just 20!"

Zhong Ning smiled, and didn't comment on the poor acting, he just took advantage of it, so there's no need to pretend to be embarrassed.

The steward said to the waiter next to him with a professional and serious look on the surface: "Consultant Tang, wrap up this string of court beads for this gentleman."

"Do you pay by card or check?" Guan Shi turned to Zhong Ning again and asked.

"Let's swipe the card." Zhong Ning said, 10 recyclable energy bodies are about to be obtained, if he doesn't trade them quickly, he will not be able to suppress the corners of his mouth that keep turning up.
