Tianyan Jianbao

Chapter 166 Fairs

Wang Haoming checked the time, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Then he stood up and said: "The two old men, the boys have something to do later, so I will leave first. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely ask the two seniors for advice."

Although Wu Yonghuai was stealing chickens today, but what he said was like pouring out water. At this point, Wu Yonghuai was also very angry, took out a business card and handed it to Wang Haoming, so that what he will encounter in the future Good stuff, be sure to think about yourself first.

"Brother Wang, if you're not in a hurry, you'd better wait until you leave. The old man brought a bronze vessel today and gave it to Brother Wu to palm the eye. If you're interested, you can also take a look."

However, the old man unexpectedly asked Wang Haoming to stay.

Because Gu Gu asked himself, although he has some research on ceramic antiques, it is absolutely impossible for him to distinguish the authenticity of many high imitation ceramics in this shop in such a short period of time like Wang Haoming .

Jade and antiques are interlinked. Among antiques, ancient jade has always occupied a very important position, such as jade watches used by emperors of all dynasties.

It has been handed down to the present that they are all valuable antiques, but human energy is limited after all. Gu is an absolute authority in appraising jade, but when it comes to appreciating antiques, he is much inferior to Wu Yonghuai.

This time, he also gave Wu Yonghuai an object that he had received recently.

Wang Haoming looked at Li Zhi and the others in embarrassment when he heard the words. Li Zhi was holding the box containing Zhu Kexin's purple sand tea set at this time.

As for Luo Yuwei and Xin Rui, it was an eye-opener tonight. Wang Haoming's turnaround made the two girls dumbfounded. Seeing that there was still a good show to be had, they naturally didn't want to leave.

Seeing that several people did not object, Wang Haoming also sat back. Most of the appreciation books he read during this period were ceramics, and he had never read books related to bronzes.

Given this opportunity, Wang Haoming also wanted to learn. There was a huge difference between reading the knowledge learned by rote books and listening to people explaining things.

Gu Gu waved his hand, and the man who had been standing behind him put the box in his hand on the clean table. After opening it, a bronze statue of Bodhisattva appeared in front of everyone.

This is a bronze Buddha statue in a seated posture. It is not big, only about [-] centimeters. Wu Yonghuai put on a pair of gloves, took out the bronze Buddha statue, and looked at it against the light.

After more than ten minutes, he put the bronze vessel back. With an expression of doubt on his face, he said to Wang Haoming, "Brother Wang, take a look too."

Wang Haoming has only seen one real bronze ware, which is the bronze tree auctioned in the grassland black market. He doesn't know much about bronze ware, and he can't tell the truth.

Therefore, when Wu Yonghuai appraised it just now, he had already tested this object with spiritual power, and it was undoubtedly authentic.

Because Wang Haoming has clearly seen that there is extremely rich purple spiritual power in this Buddha statue.

After hearing Wu Yonghuai's words, Wang Haoming took the gloves from Wu Yonghuai, held the bronze Bodhisattva statue in the box in front of his eyes, and observed it carefully.

Although Wang Haoming doesn't know much about bronze wares, he can tell that this is a bronze statue of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva.

Avalokitesvara in the bronze statue puts one hand on her knee and raises the other hand, in the shape of an orchid finger. The pleats, tassels, flower ornaments on the head, tall lotus seat, breasts, waist and buttocks on the entire bronze statue are all made of Lifelike, especially the face of Guanyin, dignified and generous, just like a real person.

"Grandfather, this bronze statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva should be an object with a wide open door. It seems that you can see it yourself." Wang Haoming put the bronze statue back into the box and said to the old man.

After hearing Wang Haoming's words, Gu Gu replied: "To be honest, Brother Wang, this item is in very good condition. I'm afraid it's something that has been bathed, so Brother Wu gave it to me. The old man is so big. When you are old, if you wrestle again, it will make people laugh."

"This old man, you can't speak well, you have to speak these jargons."

Li Zhi and others complained that he didn't know much about bronze guilds, so he could only roughly guess the meaning of the old saying.

"Hehe, I forgot, these kids are not in the industry, let me explain to you."

Seeing the expressions of Li Zhi and others, Gu Gu explained the jargon in the words just now.

The two words "bathed" and "wrestling" are jargon in appreciating bronze wares. Some bronze wares handed down from ancient times, the surface has been severely invaded by oil stains. Some craftsmen wash them with acetic acid and other liquids to clean the oil stains. In this way, the surface of the utensils is bright and uniform. , although beautiful but lost its original natural features, its value will be greatly reduced.

Wrestling refers to the fact that antique dealers misjudged the age of the utensils when appraising bronze wares, or could not identify the authenticity.

"I said, Brother Gu, are you using this object to appraise it for me, or are you trying to annoy me? You can't see such a wide-opening thing?"

After Wu Yonghuai waited for Gu Gu to explain to Li Zhi and the others, he spoke slowly.

"Oh, brother Wu, my brother hasn't been here for several years. It's rare to come here. What are you doing joking with me? Okay, I showed it to a few people, but they were all uncertain, so I found you."

Gu Gu kept yelling grievances. When he saw the bronze Bodhisattva for the first time, he felt that it was an old object with a wide open door.

I found a few people to look at it, some said it was an object to open the door, and some said it was an old imitation.

It was then given to Wu Yonghuai to palm his eyes. Although Wu Yonghuai's reputation in the antique trade is not very good, his eyes are rarely surpassed by others. He is famous for his sharp eyes.

"Things are real, the old thing with the big open door, brother Gu, the reason why you can't see through it is because this bronze Bodhisattva came out of the Shukeng, and it has been handed down for a long time, it looks like "bathed" "Yes, in fact, people often enjoy it, and the surface of the utensils is in a light and ripe state due to long-term friction with sweaty hands."

"Brother, you have made money in this business. The workmanship of this bronze Bodhisattva is perfect, and the craftsmanship is impeccable. Among the bronze statues I have seen over the years, your appearance is the best. When you meet someone you like Yes, three to five million can be sold."

Wu Yonghuai's mind was not on the bronze Bodhisattva statue, and his speech was also weak. Obviously, he was still a little brooding about losing to Wang Haoming in the bet just now.

Gu Gu was naturally very happy when he heard the words, and asked the person who followed him to put away the box.He patted Wu Yonghuai on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's a blessing to suffer losses. It's a good thing for a lifetime. It's not necessarily a good thing."

This sentence awakened Wu Yonghuai, and the round face finally smiled naturally.

Said: "That's right, I'm the host today. Let's find a place and go have a few drinks. It can be considered that I have given you the wind, Brother Gu, and Brother Wang will also go together. The meeting is fate. Will you give me the face of the old man?" ah?"

"You two old men, it's a coincidence today. There is really something wrong, and the boy will serve wine to the two of you to apologize."

In fact, Wang Haoming has nothing to do, the jewelry exhibition is coming up soon, he wants everyone to go back to rest early, because they are still busy these days.

Seeing that Wang Haoming was leaving, the two were reluctant to force them to stay. After calling each other, Wang Haoming and Li Zhi walked out of the antique shop.

After walking out of the store, Wang Haoming looked back at the signboard of the store, and couldn't help laughing, "Song Bao Zhai" is just a gift for himself.

…………

"Haoming, here, here, come and help my buddies, I said Xin Rui, why do you two girls do this kind of work?"

Li Zhi has become a worker at this moment, he is climbing on the ladder to post the inkjet, standing high and looking far away, he accidentally saw Wang Haoming standing at the door of the exhibition hall, he shouted at the top of his voice, almost fell off the ladder.

It's not that Wang Haoming didn't want to go in, but was stopped by the security guards. The jewelry exhibition is different from ordinary trade fairs.

Most of the jewelry is small in size but very valuable, and if there is a mistake, it will cause a huge loss. Therefore, after the various jewelry companies have settled in, security patrols have been arranged every hour of the day. Those who are not staff cannot enter at all.

Wang Haoming doesn't look like a bad guy, but bad guys don't stick letters on their heads these days. The security guards are very responsible. Wang Haoming has been talking for a few minutes, but he is still not allowed in. He is about to call Luo Yuwei Woolen cloth.

At this time, Luo Yuwei, who was standing in the corner of the exhibition hall, also saw Wang Haoming, and ran over quickly. After explaining to the security guard, she registered Wang Haoming's ID card and applied for a temporary pass before letting him in. .

The venue used by this jewelry fair is very large, but it is divided into several small open rooms and booths.

These rooms and booths are all exquisitely made, and some of them are directly in the shape of a jewelry.

Several companies even produced large-screen monitors for displaying their own jewelry. It seemed that Luo Yuwei was not the only company that was working at night. There were people busy in many rooms and booths.

"Yuwei, your investment in this fair is not small, right?" Wang Haoming and Luo Yuwei walked together and asked casually.

"Of course, the entrance fee is not very high, but the money spent on the decoration of the booth alone is more than 100 million. This does not include the cost of storing our jewelry in the bank. When the exhibition starts, the bank spends every day If you want to pick it up once, it will cost money."

Luo Yuwei also had some headaches. She was only in charge of jewelry design before, and never managed it.

How did she know that just participating in an exhibition would make her very busy. Xin Rui is a little better. She has worked in the management of her grandfather's company for a few days, but she is still a novice. , not generally low.

Perhaps the elders of the two families wanted to test the abilities of the second daughter, but they did not send personnel familiar with these operations to assist them.

Poor Luo Yuwei and Xin Rui can only do everything by themselves, and even custom-made coloring pages have to be done by themselves.

Fortunately, during the day, the company responsible for building the booth had someone to help.But at night, those workers had left, and there were still a few spray paintings that hadn't been posted, so the two young ladies could only go to battle in person.

"You don't want to hire models, do you?"

Wang Haoming came to the side of Luo Yuwei's booth and saw that there was a T-shaped stage, so he couldn't help asking in surprise.

"If you don't come up, kid, I'll let you be a model tomorrow."

Li Zhi stood on the ladder and shouted, the spray-painted color map is five or six meters long, and he really can't hang it alone. This guy just exaggerated his words just now, so he didn't want Xin Rui to climb to another ladder to help , I am sweating profusely right now.

In fact, there was not much work, just posting a few jewelry spray-painted recommendation pictures and it would be fine. After Wang Haoming joined hands, it was finished within half an hour.

"Wang Haoming, thank you today. If it's just me and Xin Rui, I don't know how long it will take. By the way, you can also come to our first day of exhibition tomorrow." After finishing her busy work, Luo Yuwei asked Wang Haoming issued an invitation.

…………

"I said Haoming, we are considered as special guests. Some special guests are allowed to do this job, no. You stay here, I will go around, hey, hello, this is our company's information .”

While complaining, Li Zhi handed over the information in his hand to the tourists who came over, with a smile on his face that was fake no matter how you looked at it.

Just now, after some leadership speeches and best wishes for the exhibition, the exhibition has already opened, and the huge exhibition hall is full of people. Jewelers from all over the country and even overseas gathered together.
