When Mr. Wang saw me asking about the picture of the imperial seal, he shrugged and spread his hands.
I wondered, "How is that possible? There are no pictures or introductions to the auction items! In addition, the minimum bid price should also be written on it!"
Mr. Wang nodded, "That's the truth, but this is an unprecedented first for Caltex Auction House. So we have also inquired. Although the security and confidentiality measures of Caltex Auction House are very strict, there are still
Some news has come through."
"What is it? Stop showing off." I glared at Mr. Wang.
"It's like this. All the affairs here are taken care of by beautiful ladies. Come on, beautiful ladies, tell our Master Long something." Mr. Wang called Yang Jiaren.
Yang Jiaren started talking.
It turned out that there were only four people who came into contact with Chuanguo Jade Seal in the first place. One was the general manager of the Caltex Xianggang branch, and the other three were the general manager of the Caltex Auction Headquarters and the chairman of Caltex.
executive Director.
There is an executive in the Xianggang Caltex Auction House who is from Hebang and has a good relationship with the manager of the Caltex Xianggang branch. All the information is provided by that executive.
The manager of the Caltex branch is named Zhao. After reading Yuxi, Manager Zhao once said to the senior executive of Hebang, "Amazing! Amazing! What a treasure!".
The executive asked, "Manager Zhao, what's wrong? Are there any treasures to be auctioned?"
"Is this the real treasure? Yuxi! Do you know Chuanguo Yuxi?" Manager Zhao asked.
"I know, of course I know!" the executive replied.
Those who work in the auction house are experts in antiques, so they naturally know about the Chuan Guo Jade Seal. Is there any treasure in the world that is more famous than the Chuan Guo Jade Seal? However, the Chuan Guo Jade Seal seems to have been lost, and some people even now doubt whether it is
There may be this treasure, or it may have been fabricated by the ancients.
So the executive asked, "Is it really the national jade seal?"
Manager Zhao nodded so hard that he almost dropped his chin.
The senior executive at Hebang was also stunned. Looking at Manager Zhao, the expression on his face definitely didn't look like he was joking, and Manager Zhao has never been a person who likes to joke.
Because the business of auctioning antiques must be highly serious, otherwise, if fakes are auctioned off, not only will the auction house suffer losses, but its reputation will be greatly harmed.
Manager Zhao is a very good expert in the antique industry. Not only does he not know how to joke, he is even a bit old-fashioned, so his words cannot be distrusted.
So, the executive said, "Manager Zhao, does it still need to be appraised?"
"Of course, you go notify the famous experts in the country and ask them to come and take a look again," Manager Zhao ordered.
So, the senior executive of Hebang quickly notified someone, and the experts came quickly. The reason was that Chuanguo Yuxi's reputation was too great, so the experts also came to appraise it. The senior executive originally wanted to
Went in but was stopped by Manager Zhao.
Manager Zhao said to him, "You are guarding outside. There must be a trustworthy person watching here."
In fact, the place of appraisal is in the safe room of the auction house. The safe room of Caltex Auction House is not very big, but the cost is quite high. The entire safe room is made with aerospace technology. The safe room is not only resistant to high temperature and pressure,
It is said that even an atomic bomb cannot destroy it unless it explodes just on top of the safe.
Therefore, Manager Zhao asked the senior executives to guard outside the door, which the senior executives disapproved of. Because the senior executives knew that if the people inside closed the door, no one from the outside could get in. What's more, the security measures outside were not jealous.
. Therefore, the executive felt that it was unnecessary. But since it was the manager's order, he had no choice but to do it.
The appraisal started in the morning and ended very late. The senior management had been waiting here. When the people from Caltex Auction House and the experts came out, the senior management found that everyone was extremely excited.
There was another person who came out with them. The executives did not pay attention to when that person came. They thought it was an expert that Manager Zhao had brought from other places. However, as soon as that person came out, he was sent away under strict protection.
.
At this time, Manager Zhao said to the senior management, "Hurry up and tell the printing house that we need to add pages."
"What to add?" the executive asked.
"The imperial seal is a unique treasure." Manager Zhao said.
"Where are the pictures?" the executive asked, because every time an auction album is printed, a full-time photographer will come to take pictures. The executive is very familiar with the photographer and did not see the photographer coming.
"Pictures, what kind of pictures do you need? No matter how good the picture is, it can't capture one percent of the jade seal. It's better not to have it at all. On the contrary, it's more attractive." Manager Zhao said excitedly.
"What's the lowest auction price?" The executive looked at Manager Zhao and asked cautiously.
"Bottom price? Humph, I won't sell it for even one billion! There's no need to write it down." Manager Zhao said angrily.
"Oh my God! I won't sell it for one billion Hong Kong dollars! It's robbery!" Now it was the executive's turn to get excited.
"Wake up! It's US dollars!" Manager Zhao's eyes widened.
"My dear!" The executive's heart was beating fast upon hearing this, "Is it so good? What a good idea."
"Is it that good? It's so good that you can't even describe it!" Manager Zhao said while pointing his finger in the direction everyone was going to go out.
"Is it the seller who was escorted out just now?" The executive regretted not taking a closer look.
Who is this person? There is such a treasure. How great it would be if I had one. In that case, there would be no more talk about mistresses and mistresses. The senior management unconsciously became lustful.
"Yes, he is the seller. Does he need so many people to protect him?" Manager Zhao glanced at him and ordered, "Why are you still standing there? Go and notify the printing factory!"
After listening to Yang Jiaren’s introduction, I turned to Mr. Wang and asked, “The seller is Chen Fucai?”
Mr. Wang nodded, "Yes, even though the executive didn't look carefully at the time, he still recognized Chen Fucai at a glance as the seller in the photo."
"Where does he live?" I asked.
"His residence was not arranged by senior executives. It is very secret. We are investigating and I believe we will find out soon." Yang Jiaren replied.
We were all excited when we heard that the imperial seal was passed down. But a different voice came out.
"Huh, you guys, you think about treasures and money all day long. What's the use of having too much money." Jia Dao suddenly said something that was incompatible with the scene at this time.
We were all stunned, and I laughed secretly in my heart. This Jia Dao was beginning to pretend to be aloof. Based on the relationship between Jia Dao and I for many years, Jia Dao had such a concept of saying that grapes are sour.
Yang Jiaren didn't know Jia Dao well, but judging from her expression, she admired Jia Dao a little.
"Jia Dao, actually the main reason why we came here this time is to help Mr. Long track down the old man's severed hand and the imperial seal. But it's not just for money, it's because things during this period are really strange. Besides, money is actually
There's nothing wrong with it, it just depends on how rich people use it." Xu Huizhu rebutted Jia Dao.
But Yang Jiaren spoke for Jia Dao, "What Mr. Jia said makes sense. Thinking about my life in the world, I am really tired of it. I might as well think like Mr. Jia Dao! I really think about it now."
Ordinary people’s lives.”
"Beautiful lady, after so many years, your heart has moved. The people in Jiadao are also good, how about you two making a couple?" Mr. Wang teased with a smile.
"I would like to, but I don't know what Mr. Jia Dao's intentions are?" Yang Jiaren asked jokingly, and the children of Jianghu were quite happy.
Jia Dao saw Xu Huizhu nodding in approval, then looked at us happily, and was so angry that he was speechless.
And we were teasing Jia Dao even more, and Yang Jiaren didn't know whether it was true or not, but she always cooperated, and the atmosphere was very lively.
At this time, a servant came and said, "The rich man is here!"
