How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 18 Confirmation of the Auction (Please read on!)

"good eyesight."

Teacher Liu is worthy of being an appraiser at Christie’s. He could tell as soon as Li Le took out the item.

Li Le put down the blue and white porcelain vase and took out the purple clay teapot and inkstone.

Teacher Liu quickly took out a magnifying glass, put on gloves, picked up the vase and looked at it carefully.

Li Le didn't say anything either. It would be better not to disturb the appraiser at this time.

After looking at it for about four or five minutes, Teacher Liu put the vase down and said, "This is indeed a blue and white porcelain vase. It's a pity that it's not Yuan blue and white, but it's also a fine piece."

After saying that, he looked at Li Le and asked, "Are you really planning to sell it?"

Li Le nodded and said, "Yes! There is no use for me to keep this thing."

"Okay! I wonder if you plan to sell it to our auction house or hold an auction?"

Auction houses not only conduct auctions, but sometimes they also collect items.

If you are in a hurry to use the money and can't wait for the auction, the auction house will spend money to buy it.

Li Le is not in a hurry to use the money! He will definitely not sell it directly, because there is a big difference in the middle.

"Can I ask, when will the auction take place?"

"This Sunday."

"Sunday!" Li Le scratched his head.

Because he couldn't make it on Sunday, he would have to travel back to the 1950s again on Sunday.

"I can't come, can I still auction it?"

"Of course." Teacher Liu nodded.

"Then let's auction it. Can you take a look at these two items and see if they can be auctioned together?" Li Le pushed the purple clay teapot and inkstone towards Teacher Liu.

Teacher Liu looked at the purple clay teapot and inkstone carefully again and said, "These two are also good and can be auctioned."

"How do you determine the price?" Li Le did not take out the two paintings first.

He wanted to see what price Teacher Liu had set.

To be honest, whether it was a purple clay teapot, an inkstone, or even a blue and white porcelain vase, they were all Li Le's attempts to test the waters.

The real good stuff are the two paintings he carries on his back.

"The starting price for this blue and white porcelain vase can be set at five million, the purple clay teapot at two million, and the inkstone at one million. What do you think?"

To be honest, this price is not low. You should know that this is just the starting price, not the final price.

"Sure!" Li Le nodded, and then said, "I have two more paintings here, you can take a look at them too."

After saying this, Li Le took off the painting on his back and placed it on the table.

The painting was still wrapped, and it was wrapped very tightly. Teacher Liu carefully opened the outer packaging.

Then he opened the first painting. As soon as he finished opening it, Teacher Liu took a deep breath and said, "Is this Xu Beihong's Galloping Horse?"

"That's right!" Li Le nodded.

"Hiss!" Teacher Liu took another breath and said, "It's rare to find it so well preserved."

Li Le touched his nose and didn't respond, nor did he know how to respond.

"This is too precious. How about I call two more people to come over and take a look at it together?"

I guess he is not sure! That's right, every profession has its own expertise, maybe Mr. Liu is not very proficient in painting.

"of course can."

After hearing Li Le's agreement, Teacher Liu quickly said to the young man who brought Li Le over: "Go and call Teacher Wu and Teacher Du over."

"Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, the young man ran out.

It took only four or five minutes! Two people came in from outside, aged between fifty and sixty.

These two should be the teachers Wu and Du that Teacher Liu mentioned. "Old Liu, what's going on? Why did you call us over here?" One of them asked as soon as he came in.

"Old Wu, come and take a look at this."

Two people came to the table and saw the picture of running horses on the table. They were both stunned. One of them even rubbed his eyes, probably thinking he was seeing things.

"A picture of running horses?" After saying that, he snatched the magnifying glass from Teacher Liu's hand and began to look at it carefully.

"Great, great! It is indeed Xu Beihong's Galloping Horse Painting, and it is so well preserved. It is really amazing."

"Lao Du, is there anything wrong with this painting?" asked Teacher Liu.

"No problem, absolutely no problem."

Hearing what Teacher Du said, Teacher Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's genuine, once it's confirmed to be auctioned, publicize it well and those wealthy collectors will flock to it.

"It's rare to find one so well preserved!" Teacher Du said with emotion.

"Please take a look at this one." Li Le pushed over Qi Baishi's painting of herding cattle.

The three teachers opened it carefully, and as soon as they opened it, they were stunned.

"What's the matter?" Li Le asked puzzledly.

"This is a painting by Li Keran," said Teacher Du.

"What the hell? Li Keran's painting. Isn't this Qi Baishi's painting of herding cattle?" Li Le asked in surprise and confusion.

"Little brother, you are right. This painting of herding cattle can also be said to be the work of Qi Baishi." Teacher Du said, pointing to the words above.

"Ke Talk, Ke Ran my brother Paint, my brother Bai Shi." After reading the words, Li Le was stunned.

This painting was not actually painted by Qi Baishi, but the words on it were written by Qi Baishi. What Li Le didn't understand was why this painting was called "Qi Baishi Herding Cows".

"Is this painting still valuable?" Li Le asked the question that concerned him most.

"It is valuable, of course it is valuable. If this painting is auctioned, the auction price will definitely not be less than 100 million."

"What the hell, one hundred million?" Li Le was completely dumbfounded.

"Yes, I wonder if you still want to auction it?" asked Teacher Wu next to him.

"Auction, of course auction, why should I keep it?" Li Le shook his head and said.

"Okay, our auction house will vigorously promote these two paintings and will definitely show their value."

"Well! It's up to you to handle this. Anyway, it's up to you to auction it." Li Le said indifferently.

"Also, our auction house will charge a 5% commission. I need to tell you this in advance," said Teacher Liu.

"I know."

The next step was to sign the contract. After the contract was signed, Li Le kept the five items.

He couldn't attend the auction, but that didn't matter because he knew the value of the two paintings.

It is estimated that there will be a situation of scrambling for power by then. After all, this is the imperial capital and there are many rich people.

After leaving the auction house, Li Le took out his cell phone and called home.

"Hey! Who is it?"

"Mom, it's me."

"It's Xiaole! Did you change your phone number?" asked Mother Li.

"No, I lost my phone. This is using Fei Ge's secondary card."

"Did you lose your phone? Are you out of money? I'll ask your dad to transfer some money to you later."

When Li Le said that his cell phone was lost, Li's mother panicked.
