He was excited, but Chen Jing quickly calmed down.

This statue of Guandi is indeed valuable, but as Zhao Zheng said just now, the premise is that a channel can be found to sell it.

As an unpopular collectible, the Guandi Statue is undoubtedly more difficult to acquire than the inkstone.

In this regard, Chen Jing was quite helpless, but it was normal for people to pick up unpopular collections easily because the market for popular collectibles was booming and most people in the antique industry knew them. Occasionally, there were two pieces that could be picked up early.

Someone got there first.

"Uncle Zhao, what do you think I should do with the statue of Emperor Guan?" Chen Jing asked Zhao Zheng.

"It's really hard to sell this. It's usually easier to sell it at auction. However, the autumn auctions of major auction houses in Changcheng have ended recently. You can either wait a few months until the next auction house prepares for the auction, or

Just contact those collectors and take a look." Zhao Zheng gave him honest advice.

Chen Dingding nodded. He didn't want to wait too long. It would be best to cash in the money as soon as possible. The most important thing is that antiques like the Guandi Statue are not popular. If they fail to sell at the auction,

Then it will fall into your own hands.

Unless absolutely necessary, Chen Jing would not want to put the Guandi statue up for auction.

"Then I'll ask the collectors and antique dealers I met before." Chen Jing said.

Zhao Zheng smiled: "Okay, I just took this opportunity to contact them." He did not say that he would help Chen Jing this time. After all, he also introduced Chen Jing to many collectors and antique dealers during this period.

.

Zhao Zheng could help Chen Jing get to know people like this, but in the end, it was up to Chen Jing to manage these connections, and he couldn't help.

Chen Jing knew this in his heart, so he didn't ask Zhao Zheng for help.

Afterwards, Chen Jing simply picked up his mobile phone and took pictures of the Guandi statue from all angles to ensure that some details were clearly visible. Then he sent it to WeChat Moments, and then sent it to the collectors and antique dealers he had met before.

Information inquiry.

Basically, I just asked them if they were interested, and the price was easy to tell.

A few minutes later, the first person to send a message to Chen Jing came.

"Xiao Chen, I looked at your circle of friends. Did you miss it again?" But it was sent by Shen Jing.

Chen Jing replied: "Well, good luck."

"You are really awesome. It's a pity that we don't have any auction plans in the new century. Otherwise, you can still put it up for auction."

The auction is not that easy to prepare. It requires receiving a large number of lots, and there are also promotional exhibitions and other work to do. In short, it is not that easy to hold.

Chen Jing replied: "Well, thank you Sister Shen for your kindness."

"Thank you for everything. We are all our own people." Shen Jing's message contained a bit of teasing, and she immediately sent another message: "Xiao Chen, you are really fast."

Chen Jing looked at the message and realized that Sister Shen probably knew that his relationship with Kong Xue was developing rapidly. He smiled and was about to reply when another message came into view.

"Brother Chen, your statue of Guandi looks good. I'm a little interested in it."

Chen Jing looked at it and was slightly surprised. The person who sent the message was actually Liu Hao, the businessman in the entertainment industry who had taken the photo of his Qiyang stone inkstone.

The reason why Chen Jing was surprised was that although Liu Hao liked collecting antiques, he wanted to collect cultural antiques. How could he be interested in this statue of Guandi?

Although he felt strange in his heart, Chen Jing quickly replied: "Mr. Liu, if you are interested, I will show you the statue of Emperor Guan when you are free."

You can tell something from a photo only if it is seen in person.

Liu Hao replied: "Okay, Brother Chen, please come over tomorrow. I will send you the address then."

The communication on the mobile phone is basically limited to this. This is a transaction of hundreds of thousands, so naturally it is not too trivial.

But no matter what, it is a great thing for someone to be interested in the statue of Guandi.

Again, at this stage, collecting antiques is not realistic for Chen Jing. He must liquidate them all. Antiques that cannot be liquidated are of little use to him.

Then Chen Jingcai replied to Shen Jing's teasing: "Sister Shen, it's all thanks to you."

However, Shen Jing seemed to be busy there and didn't reply any more.

At this time, Zhao Zheng saw Chen Jing's smiling face and asked, "Is anyone interested?"

"Yeah." Chen Dingding nodded and said with a little doubt: "It's this person who is interested that makes me a little strange. It's Mr. Liu Hao. Doesn't he only collect cultural antiques?"

Hearing that Liu Hao wanted to buy the statue of Emperor Guan, Zhao Zheng was startled for a moment, then thought of something and laughed: "Haha, I know why."

Chen Jing looked at Zhao Zheng, waiting for his answer.

Zhao Zheng started to explain: "Liu Hao was a social idler in his early years. Have you seen those Young and Dangerous movies in Xiangjiang? They used to be in this group and that club. People like them, Guan Erye, have spiritual beliefs. , if you organize a party, it must all be done by Mr. Guan."

At this time, Chen Jing also understood and said with a smile: "That's it." He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Guan Erye is really an almighty god among the people and has influence in all walks of life.

…………

The next day, Chen Jing had just had lunch with Zhao Zheng when he received a message from Liu Hao, asking him to bring the statue of Guandi to a club to find him.

Chen Jing immediately asked Zhao Zheng for a leave, and the latter agreed. Nabaoju was not very busy these days.

Speaking of which, this was the first time for Chen Jing to go to this entertainment club, so he was a little curious.

This is some kind of entertainment club. Every man knows what it does. Chen Jing used to have a roommate who was a frequent visitor. He would always tell various stories about what happened in the dormitory.

As for the specific story, it is naturally inconvenient to tell. Anyway, every time I heard it, a bunch of big-blooded boys in the dormitory were very restless.

Liu Hao's business is quite big, and the entertainment venues under his name are almost all over Changcheng, both high-end and ordinary. The club where Chen Jing met is called Xianglanxuan, which is an extremely high-end one. In Changcheng Very famous.

How big is it? Chen Jing took a taxi and told the driver the address. There was a look on his face that every man knows, and he smiled and said: "It's good to be young."

After more than half an hour's drive, Chen Jing arrived at Xianglanxuan.
