Chapter 856: Welcome to the Auction
Five or six minutes later, Rong Bao Zhai West Hall.
An anti-theft door close to the side of Rong Bao Zhai Building suddenly opened from the outside, and two middle-aged and elderly men in their fifties and sixties walked in, each wearing a Chinese costume and looking quite elegant.
After entering the door and glancing at the situation in the hall, the two of them immediately put on a smile on their faces and walked over to Ye Tian quickly.
Although they haven't met, Ye Tian knows both of them.
One is the manager of Rong Bao Zhai, and the other is an expert in the appraisal of Chinese calligraphy and painting artworks in Rong Bao Zhai, and he is a well-known figure in the field of domestic antique art collection.
Obviously, these two also know Ye Tian.
Rong Bao Zhai is full of surveillance**, through high-definition surveillance video, they should have determined Ye Tian's identity, otherwise it would be impossible to come together!
Seeing them coming, Ye Tian immediately turned to face the two of them and nodded at them.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ye, welcome to Rong Bao Zhai, it's a pleasure to see you here, it's an honor!
When he got closer, the middle-aged and elderly man, who was a little younger, took the lead in greeting and introduced himself, very enthusiastic.
Ye Tian took a step forward, shook hands with the other party, and said politely with a smile:
"Good afternoon, Manager Liu, I've been looking up for a long time! I'm Ye Tian, you are a senior in the industry, just call me Xiao Ye, it sounds good to the ear, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you to come here in person!"
"That's good! I'm really a few years older, so I'll sell you an old man and call you Xiaoye, which sounds really good to the ears! We open our doors to do business, and the customer is God, of course, on call.
What's more, customers like you, please can't even come! Just now we were still discussing, whether to contact you and pay a visit, who wants to say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, what a coincidence.
Let me introduce to you, this is Liang Lao, a well-known domestic calligraphy and painting art appraisal expert, in porcelain identification, gold and stone seal carving also has good attainments, currently working for our Rong Bao Zhai"
Manager Liu said a few polite words, and then introduced another middle-aged and elderly man beside him.
"I don't need to introduce at all, Manager Liu, I am more or less an insider in the antique industry, how can I not know the famous Liang Lao in the antique industry?
Ye Tian politely complimented the other party while stretching out his right hand to the elder in front of him, with a very respectful and impeccable attitude.
"Good afternoon, Liang Lao, I'm Ye Tian, it's a pleasure to meet you, Sansheng is lucky! You look really good, your body must be great"
"I'll call you Xiao Ye too, the rest of the titles don't seem to be appropriate, good afternoon, Xiao Ye, to you kid, we've heard of a big name for a long time!
Before we met, the impression I had was not like this, the two idioms of unruly and ruthless are used to describe what your kid does, which is very appropriate!
As far as you kid does in the United States, every thing I heard us old guys tremble! I didn't expect that after we met, it was a different look, and it seems that the rumors are wrong!"
Liang Lao said with a smile, shaking hands with Ye Tian, his eyes full of appreciation.
Manager Liu and Liang Lao were very satisfied with Ye Tian's spring breeze's performance, and their impression of him has also changed a lot.
"Isn't the rumor wrong? Elder Liang, that's the Yankees' slander against me, don't believe it! I'm a law-abiding citizen, how can I describe me as unruly and ruthless?"
Ye Tian hit the snake with the stick and joked with the two in front of him.
Hearing this, Manager Liu and Liang Lao couldn't help but roll their eyes, and secretly complained:
"Don't think that we old people don't go online, we have all seen the online videos of your kid roaming the streets of the United States and killing on a large scale, just a few polite words, you kid is still serious!"
After getting to know each other and chatting a few words, everyone got to the point.
Manager Liu confirmed with Ye Tian again the type and quantity of the top-level rice paper he was going to purchase, as well as the intention of purchasing these top-level rice papers.
For these questions, Ye Tiandu gave very clear answers.
Even though they had already heard what the clerk had said on the phone, but when they heard Ye Tian confirm it, Manager Liu and Liang Lao were still shocked by this big deal and looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded.
When they heard that Ye Tian bought these top-notch rice papers just to give them to his grandfather and let him practice calligraphy on weekdays, the two of them were stimulated and almost had a heart attack and fainted!
After the shock, the two old men immediately started to sigh, saying that it was too extravagant!
Of course, the two of them also had red eyes with envy, and sighed that they were not so lucky to enjoy this kind of top treatment.
Especially Liang Lao, after a few words of emotion, he began to scold his son and grandson, none of which made him worry.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that the two of them calmed down.
Immediately afterwards, Manager Liu arranged for several clerks to go to the warehouse to mention the top-quality rice paper that Ye Tian wanted, and repeatedly emphasized that the best must be selected, and each of them should be brought over with ten dollars.
Subsequently, he called the warehouse again, and asked him to cooperate with the work, and the arrangement was very thoughtful and enthusiastic!
Why he can enjoy this special treatment, Ye Tian knows it.
Of course, it's not because these two old men like themselves, so they look at it differently!
Rong Bao Zhai is a central enterprise, even if the two old men's own sons come, if there is no money in their pockets, these two will not take care of it, and they will not clip their eyelids.
As for how much net worth Ye Tian has, Manager Liu and Liang Lao still have a general understanding, and they know that what the kid in front of him does not lack in his pocket is money, and he has as much as he wants.
And this kid is very generous, as long as he likes and loves something, he will hardly hesitate to make a move, and he will not be too calculating in terms of price!
Who doesn't sell those top-quality rice paper in stock? Why don't you sell it at a high price and sell it to the master in front of you who pays neatly?
In addition, they have a more important goal, that is, those top antique artworks that Ye Tian brought back from the United States!
There are some antique works of art in there, not to mention Rong Bao Zhai, that is, the Palace Museum is very greedy to see it, and I can't take it directly into my arms and keep it for myself!
With Rong Bao Zhai's background and energy, he must have already gotten the list of these antique artworks from the airport customs, and when they saw the national treasures on the list, they could still sit there!
Compared to that batch of antique artworks, the top-grade rice paper that Ye Tian is going to buy now is not worth mentioning, although they are also very rare and expensive!
If Ye Tian promised to transfer a few national treasure-level calligraphy and painting artworks at a low price, Rong Bao Zhai might take those top rice papers as gifts and give them directly to Ye Tian, which is rare and generous!
Sure enough!
Waiting for the clerks to leave, Manager Liu and Liang Lao immediately took Ye Tian to the side rest area and sat down, drinking tea while asking about the information of the batch of top antique artworks.
"Xiao Ye, can you tell me about the batch of antique artworks you brought back from the United States? I heard from the old man of the Forbidden City, there are many national treasures, all of which have been lost overseas for a long time!
We have also heard about how you kid got these national treasure-level antique artworks, and here, I have to say, you kid did a really beautiful job, so relieved!
You can bring these national treasure-level antique artworks back to China, which is even more admirable, just this matter, as long as you are a person in the field of domestic antique art collection, anyone has to give you a thumbs up.
Liang Lao said excitedly, looking at Ye Tian's eyes full of anticipation.
Manager Liu echoed a few sentences, each sentence full of praise and affirmation.
I am a Chinese, that is what I should do, I believe that as long as the Chinese love our country, anyone will do it."
It's hard for you to come across this kind of opportunity when you're in China, but I'm in the U.S. and I'm a professional treasure hunter, so I won't miss this kind of God-given opportunity.
Those foreign collectors and museums should have been unlucky, they were ransacked by the international art crime syndicate, and I happened to find this art crime syndicate, so what's polite!
Since you two want to know the information of those national treasure-level antique artworks, then I will introduce it, including Mi Fu's "Dongting Landscape Map", Song Huizong's two calligraphy works,......"
Ye Tian said a few words politely, and then began to introduce the top antique artworks brought back to China.
Of course, this does not include the treasures he gave as gifts to his family.
With his introduction, Manager Liu and Liang Lao's emotions became more and more excited, their eyes became brighter and brighter, and their eyeballs were about to explode! Exclamations and exclamations never stopped, and they continued to sound one after another.
By the time Ye Tian finished introducing the top antique artworks that he had brought back to China, it was already five minutes later.
The two people opposite him were both excited at this time, and sat in their respective seats, their eyes full of ecstasy, and their mouths were still chanting, and they were almost crazy, and they could not calm down for a long time.
Their performance was completely unexpected by Ye Tian, and they were not surprised or surprised at all.
For any other domestic antique art appraisal expert here, it must be the same performance, or even worse, no exception!
Ye Tian didn't interrupt or wake them up, but smiled and leisurely sipped tea while waiting for the two to come to their senses.
Two or three minutes later, Manager Liu was the first to come to his senses.
As soon as he came to his senses, he said to Ye Tian excitedly:
"Xiao Ye, can you transfer the two calligraphy works of Song Huizong to our Rong Bao Zhai? The price you open, it will definitely satisfy you, Huizong's calligraphy works are too rare!
There is also Mi Fu's ink landscape, "Dongting Landscape Map", you also know that we Rong Bao Zhai has Mi Fu's "Tiaoxi Poem" remnants, which is a national first-class cultural relic.
If these two are exhibited together, it will be called a perfect combination, calligraphy and painting! It will definitely cause a huge sensation, and in addition, there will be Wang Meng's ink and wash landscapes in the Yuan Dynasty,......"
He was about to list down, but was interrupted by Ye Tian's sudden voice.
"Manager Liu, about the transfer of these antique artworks, I'm afraid I can't agree, you two should have heard the Shan Lao of the Forbidden City say that I don't plan to transfer any antique artworks privately.
If Rong Bao Zhai really plans to collect a few national treasure-level antique artworks from me, then prepare to participate in my private auction, where you can compete and win your favorite target.
My private auction is in full swing, and will be held at the Beijing Hotel on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so you are welcome to come and participate in Rong Bao Zhai, and I believe you will receive the invitation soon!
Then you will be able to see those top antique artworks that have been lost overseas for a long time, with the strong strength of Rong Bao Zhai, accept a few favorite national treasure-level antique artworks, there must be no doubt!"
"Ahh
Manager Liu and Liang Lao exclaimed in unison, and a hint of disappointment flashed in their eyes.
But that look of disappointment vanished in an instant, and in its place was a powerful confidence.
Compete at the auction! What does it matter, who is Rong Bao Zhai afraid of! We are the prefix of the central character!
Just as Liang Lao was about to speak and show his determination, a middle-aged man in his thirties suddenly flashed out of the middle hall, holding a black lacquer and gold box in his hand, and walked straight to this side.
Seeing this, both Manager Liu and Old Liang showed a helpless wry smile on their faces!
