Chapter 47 The best gift

Zhou Nanming's only life-saving straw now is that Zhou Xia probably doesn't have that much money to buy this painting. Ten thousand yuan is for an employee like Zhou Xia who has just graduated not long ago. If he chooses not to buy it himself, the ending will be the most perfect.

But ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. When Zhou Nanming saw Zhou Xia take out a stack of RMB from his bag, he almost cursed. Damn, Zhou Xia has made a cheat sheet, have he prepared in advance?

Of course he didn't know that Liu Yuqing had already transferred all the million-dollar annual salary to Zhou Xia, and it had already spent almost the same amount. He didn't expect that Zhou Xia made 20,000 yuan yesterday, but in the morning, in order to go to the ghost market Taobao, he took out all his wealth and paid him this ten thousand yuan, which was naturally more than enough.

On the surface, Zhou Nanming still wanted to set an example of his humble gentleman, expressing his agreement with everyone's appraisal results, and said, "It is indeed a gratifying thing to be unanimously recognized by everyone. I am willing to accept the loss and transfer this Qiu Ying's autumn mountain hunting picture to Zhou Xia at the original price of 10,000 yuan to participate in the company's autumn auction."

Zhou Xia took the initiative to shake hands with him, "I want to thank Mr. Zhou again for bringing me such a good gift."

Zhou Nanming also turned him into the army and said with a smile, "Where is it, I think this work by Qiu Ying can also be auctioned without a base price. If such a controversial work with no base price is auctioned without a base price, it will definitely arouse the buyer's desire to buy and thus get a better price. Teacher Zhou, do you think so!"

"Heroes have similar views! That's what I plan. Qiu Ying's work is quite rare and there are no traces in various records. This is a good opportunity for the public to find bargains. Any expert who is interested in ancient calligraphy and painting and has sufficient experience should come and see it." Zhou Xia also followed the flow and did not give Zhou Nanming too many opportunities to take advantage of. Although Zhou Nanming might be eager for him to auction it at a low price, and it was a loss to his grandma's house, Zhou Xia believed that the buyer's eyes were bright, and there would definitely be no fewer people who wanted to find bargains at the auction.

Zhou Nanming originally wanted to make him embarrassed for a while, but he agreed so readily, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed with energy and nowhere to do it.

Because according to the market price, if it was Qiu Ying's authentic product, such a large work would be worth at least about 200,000 yuan. This means that he lost more than 200,000 yuan for no reason when he came to Tiandi Auction Company.

Liu Yuqing explained, "You may not know that Nanming, Zhou Xia contributed several items to this autumn auction, and they are all high-quality works. Don't worry, even if the auction is not at a low price, our company will not let everyone suffer. If the auction price of your previous painting by Li Liufang imitating Ni Zan is less than 80,000, we will be considered to have failed."

"I think it's OK!" Zhou Nanming nodded and thanked her. He also knew that the operation of the auction without a reserve price was more gimmick than reality. The purpose was to attract more popularity. As for the painting by Qiu Ying, Zhou Nanming could only pinch his nose and accept it. Just pretend that he had not received the painting. With Zhou Xia's ability, if he encountered this painting, he would definitely take it down. If he thought about it this way, Zhou Nanming would be a little better.

Next, Liu Yuqing invited everyone to handle the auction contract for the two paintings for Zhou Nanming and Zhou Xia, and took photos to make pictures.

Liu Yuqing also discussed the picture of the flat forest and distant mountains of Zhou Nanming. To be honest, he should use Li Liufang to imitate Ni Zan for promotion. And as Zhou Xia said before, it is better than simply promoting Ni Zan's works, and perhaps he can really get a high price.

As for the Qiushan hunting picture that Zhou Nanming transferred to Zhou Xia from the original price for a gamble, Zhou Xia thought it would be best to use Qiu Ying's authentic product to promote it.

Wang Yanli also asked him if he wanted to find a way to remove Wen Zhengming's fake postscript above.

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "No, it's good! We will identify Qiu Ying's works with great fanfare, but don't mention Wen Zhengming's inscriptions at all. Potential buyers who like Qiu Ying will definitely have some doubts after seeing the catalog we made. Once they arouse their doubts, they may go to observe the real thing in person when we exhibit. And because we are conducting an auction without a reserve price, people who are bound to win will definitely be indispensable. Once they compete with each other, the price will naturally go up. Maybe, they will sell better than Qiu Ying's works without fake postscripts."

Wang Yanli was suddenly talking after hearing this. Of course, Zhou Xia still had a lot of inferences. It is still unknown whether the matter was really performed according to the script.

But since he bought this painting himself, he would decide it himself. Anyway, his ideas were consistent with the interests of the company. The higher the auction price, the happier everyone would be.

They are all familiar with each other and are not outsiders. The procedures for these two paintings were quickly completed.

Zhou Nanming personally carried the painting into the company's collection room. In the collection room, Zhou Nanming also asked Liu Yuqing for advice and asked her which items were contributed by Zhou Xia to the autumn auction of Tiandi Auction Company this time.

Liu Yuqing also took good care of his emotions and introduced them to him one by one. Both families are family friends, and Zhou Xia and Wang Chao and others can not give Zhou Nanming face, but Liu Yuqing cannot act irritated and make their relationship too stiff. After all, Tiandi Auction is still maintaining a partner relationship with Zhou Nanming's gallery.

In terms of modern calligraphy and painting, there are quite a lot of items taken on it introduced by Zhou Nanming.

After seeing the items contributed by Zhou Xia, Zhou Nanming couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that Zhou Xia's vision and appreciation ability have indeed reached a very high level."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "It's a pity that Zhou Xia didn't come in and heard it with his own ears. Otherwise, he would definitely express his sincere gratitude to you."

Zhou Nanming smiled awkwardly. Not to mention anything else, Zhou Xia's superficial skills are still very good and can confuse people.

Liu Yuqing asked casually about his gallery business, which works he was going to choose during this autumn auction, and he also had to make an idea as soon as possible, make a catalogue immediately, and then the exhibition was held, which could not be delayed.

Speaking of this, Zhou Nanming is an expert, so he seized the opportunity and showed off his low-key style. Zhou Xia could not catch up with him in this regard. Liu Yuqing nodded from time to time. Her grasp of the modern art market was indeed not as good as Zhou Nanming and Liu Suifeng, and this was also considered learning to recharge.

Zhou Xia did not follow him in. He just handed the Qiushan hunting map to Liu Yuqing. Wang Chao and Wang Yanli and others seized the opportunity to ask him for advice, because Zhou Xia might not have much time to stay in the company in the future.

"Zhou Xia, you are so amazing. Zhou Nanming lost his wife and his army. The person was in the company and he was sent to the door automatically." Wang Chao just waited for Zhou Nanming to leave and immediately expressed his opinion.

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "It's because he was too anxious and couldn't wait to see me make a fool of himself. Fortunately, with everyone's help, I can get rid of danger. But I do have many shortcomings in the identification of calligraphy and paintings. Although I passed the test today, I don't have such good luck every time. I have to work harder in the future, I have to watch good works and charge more."

Before Xu Zhendong left, he was still waiting for Liu Yuqing and Zhou Xia to take the red horseshoe cup placed in Liu Yuqing's office to his son's shop. The younger generations made a fuss, and he just smiled and listened.

Zhou Xia's words made him interested in speaking, and he also encouraged him, "Zhou Xia is a good person, and this mentality is worth learning from. Before seeing enough authentic works, the experience is accumulated bit by bit and cannot be forced. But some of the most basic knowledge can be mastered by us when we study hard. Not only him, Wang Chao, you guys, read more books when you have time, and there will be benefits. Don't put your mind to those useless places. Moreover, everyone works in an auction company, and they are very advantageous. In other places, there are not so many authentic works for everyone to learn. Some authentic works, even if you take a closer look, you will gain something. Learning more will only benefit yourself."

"Thank you Master Xu for your teachings. We will cherish the existing opportunities and work harder!" Zhou Xia hurriedly thanked him.

Wang Chao and Wang Yanli and others also thanked him. Xu Zhendong didn’t like to present experts in the company, and his attitude towards everyone is relatively gentle and is deeply loved by everyone.

Xu Zhendong then put away his smile and said to him very seriously, "I see that Zhou Xia has identified so many collections, all of which are quite accurate. If it is entirely based on luck, I don't believe it. I think, in addition to your solid basic skills, what is even more surprising is your unparalleled talent, as if it was born for this. I don't know very well whether you were deliberately low-key in the past, or whether yesterday's incident had a particularly great impact on you, which stimulated your potential. I just hope that you can continue to maintain it, having such talent, not making good use of it, and doing a career, is simply a waste of resources. Don't worry too much, talent is yours, and others can't take it away even if you want to."

Zhou Xia nodded quickly and thanked him for his heartfelt words, "I must remember Master Xu's teachings! In fact, after what happened yesterday, I felt like I was enlightened, and my head was much clearer than before."

Zhou Xia also thought to himself that no one was a fool. After getting this system, he was indeed a little overconfident. But is this archaeological identification system considered a kind of talent?

Anyway, it's not achieved through hard work.

But Xu Zhendong was right. Unless he was willing, others would not be able to force him, let alone know his real secret.

Wang Chao also smiled and said, "I'll just say that Zhou Xia's whole person looks different from the past two days."

Wang Yanli also said, "Good people will be rewarded. I have always believed in this sentence. Congratulations to Zhou Xia, to open a more exciting chapter in life."

Zhou Xia asked with a smile, "Is it as obvious as you said?"

Wang Chao nodded vigorously, "It must be, especially if you get the identification result, you look very confident."

Zhou Xia said, "I think it's okay. In fact, I'm very nervous in my heart, just to be proud of my face. I force myself to cheer myself up. If I don't have confidence, how can others believe me!"

The few people laughed, and Zhou Xia also laughed happily. He felt that since he had reached this point, it was impossible to be very low-key. Others may not say it, but they always have doubts in their hearts. It would be more reliable to come up with a relatively easy-to-receive statement.
