Chapter 23 Preparations

The auction companies have a fixed process, and Zhou Xia is already quite familiar with this process, but the difference is that this time he signed an agreement with the company as the serviced person.

When Wang Yanli helped him get the contract and asked him to sign the contract, she giggled and called him Boss Zhou. Other colleagues also made fun of each other and asked to ask Boss Zhou to treat him.

Zhou Xia nodded and said yes, "But it will take some time to wait until the autumn auction is over, and the auction is over and the money is received before treating everyone to dinner. Everyone should work harder, the higher the auction, the better the level of the meal."

Wang Chao cheered, "We have to spend more time to have a good meal, right?"

Wang Yanli smiled, "It's really different for Zhou Xia to become the boss. Now she is starting to squeeze our labor."

While talking and laughing, Zhou Xia's red glaze cup was soon entrusted to Tiandi Art Auction Co., Ltd. for the matter. Wang Chao, who was in charge of taking photos, also patted his chest and promised to take his red glaze cup perfectly and strive to get a sky-high price when the time comes.

Zhou Xia knew that the sky-high price he mentioned was, but relatively speaking, it was incomparable to items that cost hundreds of millions of yuan. If such small pieces of porcelain were sold for about 200,000 yuan, it would be an absolutely sky-high price.

After Liu Yuqing arranged the company's affairs, she came out and asked Zhou Xia to visit Mr. Zhao together.

The Autumn Auction is a major project of Tiandi Auction Company every year, and it is even more important than the spring Auction. Liu Yuqing naturally dared not slacken at all. Due to the tight time, she did things even more neatly.

The company's chief appraiser Xu Zhendong did not come to the company this morning. Zhou Xia guessed that he might be engaging in relationships, or even came to the door in person to collect items.

Liu Yuqing also reminded Zhou Xia that he had just found jade paperweight, which was the stepping stone for the two of them. In her opinion, his jade paperweight is of good quality. If he was taken, it would be especially for collectors like Mr. Zhao who loves stationery equipment. If he did a specific and unique plan, he might be able to shoot several times the price.

But now, since Zhou Xia has agreed to exchange collections with Mr. Zhao, he also made it clear that the exchanged collections can be handed over to the company for operation. Then, no matter what, he has to exchange for a collection worth collecting and easy to sell high-priced collections at auctions.

Since Zhao's hometown is not far from the company, the two chose to walk there. On the way, Liu Yuqing told Zhou Xia about Mr. Zhao's origin.

Mr. Zhao is named Zhao Xiangbo. He used to be a professor of history at Donghai University. Now he has retired. He has a deep family background and has a lot of attainments. He not only has family treasures, but also likes to go to Taobao on the antique market. The one he collects the most is the study collection, with many fine products, and is the key collection targets that the company strives for. But like many collectors who really like antique calligraphy and painting, he attaches great importance to his own treasures and will not easily hand over the treasures for auction.

Zhou Xia was not surprised that she knew Zhao Xiangbo so well, because the collection circle was not big. Especially those who were doing auctions like Liu Yuqing and even himself, the requirements for such collector information were more detailed. Who had good collections and who liked what kind of collections had detailed records. Zhou Xia had the opportunity to get in touch with internal information from the company, printed them into books, and asked them to call to collect items. However, some core customers were firmly in the hands of Liu Yuqing and Liu Suifeng and others. For the sake of confidentiality, and secondly, those customers were not something that Zhou Xia and others could handle.

As for the channels and channels of these sources of information, they are quite wide. Some are purchased through intermediary companies, passed down by word of mouth, and exchanged with each other, and the private relationships of people like Liu Yuqing and others.

Liu Yuqing herself was born in this circle. She has known famous cultural scholars and antique calligraphy and painting collectors in Donghai since she was a child, and can come to collect items.

Now it is difficult to collect high-quality items. Even Liu Yuqing personally takes action and returns in a bad mood. If Zhou Xia, a rookie who has just entered the industry, is afraid that he will be bombarded away if he can't even enter the door. Now the competition between auction companies is extremely fierce, and many collectors are frightened by the phone calls of auction companies. Even Liu Yuqing, who is visiting in person, doesn't know how many people have received.

Therefore, Zhou Xia would not ask any stupid questions, but he had some different expectations for this trip to Zhao's hometown.

"By the way, he may give you a warning or test you later. Be mentally prepared first, but don't be scared!" Liu Yuqing kindly reminded Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "You can see that he is quite interesting, not that kind of serious person."

Liu Yuqing was amused by him, "Old Zhao is really not serious. If anything happens later, I will wink you."

"It's not that exaggerating! It's not a dragon's nest." Zhou Xia was a little dissatisfied. What tricks could he do?

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "It's almost the same! I often bother him. Every time I see me, he is frowning, afraid that my beloved baby will be taken away by me and will develop to the future. He will hide when he sees me. As for his impression of you, you just asked him to find a bargain, but Yu paperweight is in your hands, and he will not turn you out, but with Mr. Zhao's temperament, how can you not give us some good looks?"

"Manager Liu, you have rich experience, but you have to support me more. You know, I also represent the company's image." Zhou Xia thought about it, because Zhao Xiangbo showed his temperament in the morning, it is absolutely possible that he deliberately made things difficult for them. It is said that old children and children, as soon as this person is old, his temperament is similar to that of a child.

Liu Yuqing said with a little concern, "At least, the test is indispensable. I guess the biggest possibility is that he takes out a few collections and asks you to choose one by yourself. Mr. Zhao's collection has many fine products, but there are also many imitations, and they are all high-quality imitations, which will be slap them if you are not careful. Then I will help you watch it, and we will check the code first."

Zhou Xia has the system in hand, so he will naturally not be stumped by this test. But at this time, he will definitely not reject Liu Yuqing's kindness and replied with a smile, "I will feel much more at ease with Manager Liu to support me. But this is the same as underground work, which is quite interesting."

Liu Yuqing cheered him up and said, "You think it's interesting, which means you're not too nervous. In fact, you're relaxing your mindset, just how to identify it now, it's no big deal. Your strength is that you have rich theoretical knowledge. After so many days, practical experience has gradually accumulated. Logically speaking, there will be no problem. But don't be confused by superficial phenomena. He may take out some very tempting collections, especially those particularly precious things. Be careful, just choose collections of equivalent value."

"Now I feel like fighting again." Zhou Xia nodded quickly and thanked her, thinking that she seemed to be very experienced in fighting.

Liu Yuqing laughed and said, "No matter whether it is a war or a business, you can win every battle with yourself and your enemy! Moreover, we have another advantage in this trip. That is, Mr. Zhao doesn't know that I will go together. When you call later, don't mention me, maybe you can catch him off guard."

"And this is just a guess from me. But no matter what, he has to take a few collections for you to choose. They must be of low value, but I must be fair." Liu Yuqing said then.

Zhou Xia felt that her guess was definitely inseparable. Seeing that she was about to arrive at Zhao's hometown, Zhou Xia called him first.

Mr. Zhao answered the phone and learned that Zhou Xia would have time to come to his house, so he quickly called him over. Mr. Zhao was always thinking about the jade paperweight in the morning! He got it early, so he could feel at ease early. The thing is in Zhou Xia's hands, and it will change after a long time. That is not what he is willing to see.

Zhou Xia said that he would be there soon, but he did not mention Liu Yuqing's accompanying him all the way.

Mr. Zhao would never have thought that Liu Yuqing and Zhou Xia met, and would follow him to the door. When Mr. Zhao saw her, it would be impossible to turn her out. The two of them did a pretty thorough job before the war.
