Chapter 43: First Battle

Speaking of the identification level, the seriousness of antique dealers in appraisal is that there is no tolerance for antiques. Experts can use inaccurate antiques to avoid being accurate. Antique dealers cannot, and they will definitely get the results, and it is an accurate result. Because they will lose their business opportunities if they are not careful, they will lose their own money. Who doesn’t feel sorry for their children? Therefore, no matter whether they are selling genuine products or new fake products, at least they have a clear idea. Just imagine, if the Palace Museum did not collect this jade seal "Treasure of Debate the Sinica", would the boss of the seal world think that this jade seal is imitated? This is not a problem with water products.

Therefore, the boss said that this jade seal was imitated, not entirely out of his own judgment, because the authoritative conclusion was there, and he lost confidence. The problem is that this thing looks real, and Yuan Shikai also imitated it. The boss naturally judged this jade seal as a imitation of the Republic of China. The Tang style is different. He first insisted on himself in antiques, and then considered the authoritative conclusion. When the two conflicted, he would give up the latter. This is exactly the opposite of the boss.

After thinking about it, Tang Feng finally decided to gamble. He bet on his own judgment that Christie's or Sotheby's dares to run this business, and 20% of the commission commission is not for nothing. These guys have to spend more effort.

Tang Feng said: "Okay, 200,000 is 10,000, I want this thing."

"Okay, it's great!" Hey, I made 20,000 yuan more, can the boss be unhappy? At least it's very good now, but it's hard to say whether I cry or laugh in the future.

Alas, the other person was happy, but he could only be so happy recently. He took off his backpack, unzipped another mezzanine zipper, took out the last 2 cash and handed it to the boss. After packing the jade seal, there were only a thousand yuan left by Tang Feng and Lin Muyu, and Yuan Wei walked out of the seal world together. He looked at the time and said, "Let's go back?"

Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Yes, let's go."

Back at the Lin family, Tang Feng greeted Lin Muyu's parents and uncle and sneaked into Lin Muyu's room. The room of the Jiangnan woman was elegant and warm. Tang Feng, who had run around all over the world, lay on her bed. Lin Muyu walked in with a cup of tea. She pulled Tang Feng and said, "Don't sleep."

Tang Feng said: "Mu, I want to go to Shanghai tomorrow." Shanghai is the leader of the Yangtze River Delta. As early as 1994, one of the two largest art auction houses in the world, Christie's, the British auction house founded in 1766, settled in Shanghai; Sotheby's, another international auction house that was on par with Christie's, also set up an office in Shanghai.

The domestic sales shops were afraid that they could not take over the two items in their hands, so they could only get them to the two auction houses for auction.

Lin Muyu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be with you."

Tang Feng said: "Your local people won't be angry, right?"

Lin Muyu smiled and said, "You are like this. We can't blame the people in our country."

"That's it." Tang Feng said: "After dinner, we went to Slim West Lake not for antiques, just for fun. Antiques are old-fashioned and not romantic enough."

Lin Muyu said: "This is almost the same."

"But there is one," Tang Feng said before he finished speaking, "I understand. I won't bring my cousin."

The elderly also know that young people are active. After dinner, Lin Muyu's parents took the initiative to ask them to go out for fun. Before leaving, Lin Muyu's mother pulled Lin Muyu and said a few words Feng knew that this was a summary report. Even Tang Feng was Lin Muyu's real boyfriend. Young people are open but the elderly have to listen to their opinions. Today's ordinary families do not care about a harmonious society and only want to have a harmonious family.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, a city is like a person. When the years pass by, the glory and disgrace experienced in the past will eventually turn into memories. When occasionally calm down, you will remember and taste the feeling of the past carefully. We call it - remembrance.

Yangzhou is a city surrounded by water, nourished by water, and loved by water. The passion of flowing water gives this city a unique charm. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that there is a woman who is tender and like water around Tang Feng. Modern writer Yu Dafu once commented that the bright moon on the Twenty-Four Bridge is one of the four major autumn colors in southern China. The spring flowers and autumn moons are moving, the wind, flowers, snow and moons are pleasant, and the lovers holding hands come to the Twenty-Four Bridges together.

The green mountains are faintly drifting, the autumn is over, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered, the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where can the jade man teaches to blow the blew?

In the minds of Yangzhou people, the Twenty-Four Bridges are composed of a combination of a sail plank road, a single-hole arch bridge, a nine-curve bridge and a blowing pavilion. There are many different opinions about which bridge the twenty-Four Bridge refers to. The charm of ancient poems is always without a hazy artistic conception that can only be understood but not expressed. The Twenty-Four Bridges scenic area is close to you. Tang Feng asked Lin Muyu: "You are the master, I am the visitor. Which bridge do you think these twenty-Four Bridges are?"

Lin Muyu said proudly: "You can't defeat me." She relaxed her jade arms and pointed to a single-hole stone arch bridge not far in front of them, and said: "That stone arch bridge is the twenty-four bridges. This bridge is 24 meters long and 24 meters wide. There are 24 steps at both ends of the bridge, and there are 2 railings in total.

There are 24 white jade railings, so this bridge is called Twenty-Four Bridges.

"Just try your best." Tang Feng said with a laugh: "Du Mu never measured it when he wrote a poem. These twenty-four bridges were built by later generations forcibly." The two of them walked up the twenty-four bridges while talking.

Lin Muyu said, "What you are asking about is the twenty-four bridges in reality, not the twenty-four bridges in poetry, what's wrong?"

At this time, the two men holding hands had already walked up to the heart of the twenty-four bridges. Tang Feng looked at Lin Muyu and said, "Would we ask each other if we answered wrongly, there would be punishment."

"What are you punished? You might as well talk about it first." Lin Muyu asked.

Tang Feng smiled and said, "I'll kiss you if you answer the wrong question."

Lin Muyu pouted and said, "Then he answered wrong on purpose."

For a long time, a romantic and young emperor dug a river because of a flower with jade branches and leaves in his dream. He fell in love with this city, but destroyed a dynasty. It was a night with bright fireworks and moonlights, with bright lights shining brightly and red sleeves dancing. Twenty-four jade men who fluttered the flute performed a new song that he had just learned for the emperor who was intoxicated by this scene and was addicted to the dream of both illusion and reality.

Xiao Shengyang covered the hidden murders in the distance, and Xiao Shengyang freezes the back of the Boming Dynasty. When everything is long, the stone bridge soaked by Xiao Sheng of twenty-four jade men has a name that is unknown whether it is fortunate or unfortunate - the Twenty-four Bridge.

The autumn moon is in the sky, the forest is dyed, the fruits are intoxicated, the quiet soft waves of the flowing water of the small bridge reflect the lights, Lin Muyu's soft voice sounded in Tang Feng's ears, and she called softly: "Tang Feng."

Tang Feng turned his head, the woman was staring eyes quietly waiting for warmth. Facing this scene, what if she had been dreaming in Yangzhou for ten years? His hand was put on her slender waist, and he lowered his head slightly, and his lips gently covered her lips. She opened her mouth slightly, and his tongue slipped into her warm mouth. In this way, the long night air spread, and the melodious sound of passing through time and space came vaguely in his ears. However, the sound of the flute was no longer as heavy as history, but the warm and romantic whispering of whispers. Even the words that were unpleasant to ears became as natural as this scenery. Tang Feng said: "Mu Yu, we haven't met honestly for a long time."

"Haha." Lin Muyu smiled and buried her face in Tang's chest. She said, "Tang Feng, you are getting worse and worse."

Tang Feng said to her: "While we are young, we should work harder, go to the hotel first?"

"Well~ Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "I won't go."

"You dare." Tang Feng picked up Lin Muyu and said, "If you don't go, you have to go."

The next morning, Tang Feng went to Lin’s house to pick up Lin Muyu. After lunch, they said goodbye. The two went to Shanghai together. Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are one of the most dense urban areas in China. The opposite shore of Yangzhou is Zhenjiang. Intercity transportation is very developed. More than three hours later, Tang Feng and Lin Muyu arrived in Shanghai.

Northerners, especially northern men, always look down on Shanghai men. They think that Shanghai men are not bloody and do not act. This may be the reason why Shanghai gangsters and bandits emerge in the Northeast. Shanghai's urban character is prone to Huang Jinrong, big gangsters like Du Yuesheng are prone to Zhou Zhengyi, and big bosses like Chen XX who are silent and dull, don't know if they have nothing to do, and they are startled to be shocked when something happens. Northeast China is prone to mountain eagles, and Qiao Si, who will sooner or later be unlucky, are arrogant and heroes who are more bloody and not calm enough, and the central leaders do not take it seriously will be whitewashed sooner or later.

Shanghai Christie's is located in Shanghai Mall on Nanjing West Road. When Tang Feng and his team arrived, they were holding the Shanghai preview of the 2010 Hong Kong Christie's Spring Auction. Aircraft carrier-level auction houses like Christie's will conduct large-scale tours before each auction, and their market positioning is much wider than domestic auction houses like Zhu Ji.

To explain the purpose of the trip, Tang Feng and Lin Muyu were led into the living room by the front desk staff. The one who received them was a Chinese man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He first introduced himself. The man was named Zhang Mingcheng, a Hong Kong native, and was the chief appraiser of Christie's in Shanghai. Zhang Mingcheng shook hands with Tang Feng and asked, "What lots does Mr. Tang need to entrust?"

Tang Feng took off his backpack, took out the hexagonal plate of lotus petals and the treasure seal of Anmin to confront him, and said, "It's just two things."

Zhang Mingcheng held the six-edged plate of lotus petals in his hand and looked carefully, saying, "No, it's indeed a palace appreciation tool."

Tang Feng certainly believed that Zhang Mingcheng was a person who knew the goods, but he could not have thought that Zhang Mingcheng could recognize the goods so quickly. He asked, "Why is Mr. Zhang so sure?" The appraiser at the auction house would not say such words without being fully confident.
