Chapter 5 Taking the blame

Then, she called Wang Dongrui first and said it was an important matter about his treasure collection, and she wanted to meet him and discuss it, and made an appointment to meet at his house.

When Liu Yuqing asked Zhou Xia to visit Wang Dongrui together, he was still recalling what happened before. Everything happened too suddenly and dreamy. If it weren't for personal experience, the wound on his body was still aching faintly, he would definitely regard it as a dream.

The brocade box was still handed over to Zhou Xia. When he followed Liu Yuqing, he attracted some envious and jealous eyes when he walked out of the company. Wang Chao joked at Zhang Jie, "I really envy Zhou Xia's good luck. I have the urge to throw porcelain. Maybe I can get the opportunity to make meritorious service and live with the goddess."

Zhang Jie, who had just lost 100 yuan, was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to do anything to him.

Liu Yuqing's car is a black Audi A6. It's nothing in the international metropolis of Donghai, but few people can get into her car. From this perspective, Zhou Xia is indeed quite lucky, even if he can only sit in the back seat and guard the porcelain.

On the way, Liu Yuqing also told Zhou Xia about the things to pay attention to when she met Wang Dongrui. In fact, it was simple, that was, he was basically nothing, he was just a follower. Fortunately, he looked honest and responsible, but he was not a particularly pedantic person. There would be no problem with his own statement.

Wang Dongrui's villa group in Ningwan is a place where the rich people in the East China Sea live. Zhou Xia has worked in Tiandi Auction Company for more than a year and often comes here, so he is naturally familiar with these areas.

Liu Yuqing often goes in and out of these places, and drives directly to Wang Dongrui’s house without any obstacles.

Wang Dongrui is in his fifties and is a little rich. She is wearing casual clothes at home, but her expression is not very leisurely because he doesn't know that Liu Yuqing took his baby back to the auction house in the morning and is now back to find him. What exactly is the matter? She hasn't explained it clearly on the phone.

He naturally also saw Zhou Xia next to Liu Yuqing. What he was holding was the Hongwu underglaze red that he had returned from overseas exchanges.

After welcoming the two into the room, Wang Dongrui couldn't wait to ask her, "What happened? Can I take a look at the porcelain first?"

Liu Yuqing apologized sincerely and said, "Of course, I came to the door this time to apologize to Mr. Wang. I am really embarrassed. Due to our work mistakes, Mr. Wang entrusted the Hongwu underglaze red-woven flower plate for the auction house. The auction was broken. On behalf of our auction house, I sincerely apologize for this and are willing to compensate Mr. Wang for all the losses."

When Wang Dongrui heard that the porcelain was broken, he changed his face suddenly.

Zhou Xia has been paying attention to him, but he did not say rudely as he expected, what did your auction house do, how dare you hand over the things to you in the future, and so on.

Although he was very excited, Wang Dongrui controlled his emotions well and said slowly, "When such a thing happened, no one would want to see it. I think you were also unintentional!"

"No matter what, it is our fault. Our auction house will take responsibility for the trouble and losses caused to Mr. Wang." Liu Yuqing continued to pose in a low position, and then ordered Zhou Xia to say, "Zhou Xia, it is our negligence to hand over the porcelain to Mr. Wang for his inspection. We failed to take good care of Mr. Wang's treasure."

It is difficult for ordinary people to get angry even if they want to get angry with a beauties like Liu Yuqing. What's more, Wang Dongrui's mind was focused on his treasure porcelain at this time, wanting to see what his treasure was thrown into.

Zhou Xia also said sorry repeatedly. At this time, attitude is the most important. Even if the guests get angry, they have to accept it patiently.

When Wang Dongrui opened the brocade box, his hands trembled slightly. After seeing the pieces of porcelain that had fallen into ten petals, his face couldn't help but twitch a few times.

But soon, the expression on his face became more and more exciting, because he was also an old player in antique collection, and had a considerable understanding of Hongwu underglaze red and knew more clearly that the broken porcelain pieces could more accurately identify porcelain. At present, this big bowl of Hongwu underglaze red lingered lotus pattern is exactly like this.

No matter how good its external performance is, the porcelain body and body quality of the porcelain can really reflect the real situation. It is impossible for imitations to be consistent with the authentic products internally. Especially for old experts like Wang Dongrui, there may not be many complete authentic porcelains personally, but there are many ancient porcelain pieces. By comparison, it is easy to draw conclusions.

Liu Yuqing and Zhou Xia looked at each other, then remained silent and let him do an appraisal.

After a long silence, Wang Dongrui observed and rubbed it for a long time before he looked up and said, "So, we all have a look at each other this time?"

Liu Yuqing hurriedly replied, "This imitation is completely imitated according to the ancient method, and the cost is high. The producer is a top expert. It is a world of difference from the inferior Hongwu underglaze red imitations from Fan Jiajing. It is really worth it to be fake and it is not worth it. Otherwise, it would not have been hidden from us so many eyes."

Wang Dongrui sighed softly, "Hey, I should have thought of the possibility of this high-quality imitation in the porcelain returned overseas."

Liu Yuqing immediately said, "I know a master who is very professional in restoring porcelain. If Mr. Wang agrees, we can ask him to help repair the porcelain intact. After the repair, this underglaze red still has great value."

Wang Dongrui said, "No need for now. I want to study it for a while before talking about it. Master Xu has seen this porcelain, but what do he say?"

Liu Yuqing replied, "Master Xu has also seen it, and I am very impressed. He said that his knowledge is endless and he has gained some knowledge. We also sent it to the appraisal center for appraisal and unanimously confirmed that it was a copy of the 1990s. I brought the certificates they issued together."

"There are indeed many experts in the folk. Now, this pair of eyes alone is not enough. High-tech instruments are becoming more and more useful. If you want to collect things in the future, you have to conduct more research. If you find something inappropriate, you can veto it, so as not to make a joke like this." Wang Dongrui sighed after seeing the certificate she handed over.

Liu Yuqing said, "Yes, although this underglaze red is a high-quality imitation, it is completely fired according to the ancient method, with exquisite workmanship and meticulousness, and the value is still not low. Our estimated price is 450,000 yuan. We pay Mr. Wang at this price. I wonder if Mr. Wang is satisfied?"

"The price is almost the same, and I want to thank you too, otherwise I wouldn't know that this porcelain is a fake." Wang Dongrui is also a knowledgeable person. He also knew that Liu Yuqing and the others did not shirk responsibility or make random quotes. The cost of this porcelain is about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, but the imitation is an imitation after all. Even if it is meticulous, the value is incomparable to the genuine product. Now that the price is 450,000 yuan, it is considered to be quite normal.

"Mr. Wang doesn't care about our work mistakes, we should say thank you." Liu Yuqing quickly issued the check and handed it to Wang Dongrui.

Wang Dongrui took it and didn't take it for a long time, so he put it in his arms, laughed and asked her casually, "Can you tell me what's going on?"

He did not suspect that it was the Tiandi Auction House that deliberately broke it, which was not beneficial to them at all. Although all auction companies in mainland China have helped to check, they do not guarantee that the items at the auction are genuine and do not bear any responsibility. The buyer himself or asks a master to identify the authenticity before bidding. Even if they find out in advance that this is a high-quality imitation, they can also be placed in the auction, and there is no need to use such fierce means to break it to distinguish the authenticity.

Liu Yuqing explained the situation at that time in detail, and the person involved, Zhou Xia, was also pulled out by her to make a statement.

I heard that the porcelain was broken to save people. He could completely avoid and choose to preserve the porcelain, but in that case, Wang Dongrui could not underestimate them. Now Wang Dongrui couldn't help but look at Zhou Xia a few more times. His expression was still calm, and it was indeed convincing with his usual honesty.

"The young man did a good job! Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This piece of porcelain is worth falling. This is also its life. Don't take it too seriously. This is a fake in itself. I shouldn't have received compensation from you."

Wang Dongrui felt a lot and took out a check from his arms to return it to Liu Yuqing.

Liu Yuqing hurriedly refused, "If Mr. Wang wants this, we will be ashamed! No matter what, the things are unexpected in our auction house, and you cannot bear the losses. Otherwise, no one will dare to put the things in our auction house for auction in the future."

Zhou Xia also said, "It's all my fault, so Mr. Wang can't suffer a loss. Mr. Wang is willing to forgive me for making mistakes in work, which has moved us very much. Others do not have the generous mind of Mr. Wang."

Seeing that they insisted on doing this, Wang Dongrui stopped insisting. At this time, he also took the initiative to propose, "This auction is missing this piece of porcelain, so your auction house is also in a difficult situation! I have a few collections here. If you want to see them, you can choose one to participate in the auction."

I was really sleepy and sent a pillow. Liu Yuqing was worried that there was no place to collect items! Unexpectedly, Wang Dongrui was so easy to talk to, so she was disrespectful and said gratefully, "Then I will thank Mr. Wang first. I am worried about the lack of items!"

Wang Dongrui waved his hand, "It was said that this imitation wasted your time. I also wanted to do my best. Don't think that the things are not good."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "How could it be? Mr. Wang collects all the high-quality products. It is our greatest honor to be willing to hand them over to our auction company to operate."

Wang Dongrui smiled and said, "Then you wait a moment, I'll get it now."

Liu Yuqing and Zhou Xia repeatedly agreed, and Wang Dongrui went to collect his treasures first.

After he left, Liu Yuqing also said to Zhou Xia, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, is generous and doesn't care about us, but is willing to help us."

Zhou Xia nodded and said, "Yes, people with ancient style like Mr. Wang are becoming less and less common!"

Liu Yuqing happily talked about the many good things Wang Dongrui collected, so she can take a closer look later.

Zhou Xia hurriedly said, "This is my luck. It is a blessing for Manager Tuoliu to have close contact with so many precious collections."

"Don't say these sour words, please help me see later." The matter was resolved smoothly, Liu Yuqing was in a good mood and smiled like a flower. Now she wouldn't be able to call Xu Zhendong over again, so she would personally take the opportunity to do the appraisal.

"Then I will learn more with Manager Liu." Zhou Xia replied modestly. In fact, in the past year he entered the Tiandi Auction Company, he learned a lot of things from Liu Yuqing. She has a rich family and has been influenced by her since she was a child. She is many times better than when she became a monk halfway through the journey. Moreover, Liu Yuqing doesn't like to hide her own personal information. She knows that what he lacks the most is practice, and often reminds him of a few words during the actual appraisal process.

As the two of them were talking, Wang Dongrui came over with a piece of porcelain. Zhou Xia's eyes, which were a little myopic, became particularly clear. He could see clearly what he was holding at a glance.

Liu Yuqing was not bad either. She seemed even more excited and exclaimed, "Chenghua Doucai!"
