    This made Liu Yuqing feel a little strange. It seemed that the Zhou Xia in front of her was a little different from the past, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.  But she didn't think much about it. Wang Yanli had already placed the two treasures that Zhou Xia had found on the table, waiting for her to appraise them.

    "The quality is good!" Liu Yuqing praised softly without taking a closer look.  Appraisal of antique collections requires, in addition to solid basic skills and objective appreciation, personal subjective feelings.  This means that a collection also needs to pay attention to the first impression. A collection in good condition will undoubtedly attract more attention, make people feel good about the beauty, and will be more generous when bidding.

    The two treasures that Zhou Xia found were exactly like this. Whether it was a jade paperweight with a shepherd boy riding a cow and playing the flute leisurely, or a small cup with red glaze for sacrifice, they were both quite beautiful and gave Liu Yuqing a good feeling.

    Of course, the appearance alone is not enough. Liu Yuqing quickly got into the mood. She first identified it as the small red glaze cup.

    After appreciating it attentively, Liu Yuqing came to the conclusion, "The red-glazed small Qianlong memorial cup with the open door, Zhou Xia, how much did you spend to buy it."

    Zhou Xia didn't need to answer. Wang Chao answered for him next to him, "Three thousand five hundred yuan. The other jade paperweight cost him two thousand five hundred yuan."

    Liu Yuqing finally understood what Zhang Jie meant when he said that he spent a lot of money to find two treasures. If you put them on the ghost market, such prices are considered high.  This shows that when Zhou Xia bought these two collections, he had full confidence and courage, and continued to pick up missing items. Is his character about to explode?

    "Excellent value for money!" Liu Yuqing commented. She didn't notice that her colleagues around her were all happy. Only Zhang Jie's expression suddenly dimmed after hearing her comments.

    Liu Yuqing put down the red glaze cup lightly, and then picked up the dark brown jade paperweight. The first feeling of the tentacles was quite good. The jade texture was warm and moist, and there was a thin layer of patina on the surface. This showed that it had passed.  The owner probably likes it very much and often plays with it, so it has patina.

    The material of the jade paperweight itself is good. Looking at the carving and style of this jade article, she feels very good, especially the shepherd boy on the back of the cow. His face is lifelike and he perfectly expresses the leisurely and carefree expression of the shepherd boy.  come out.

    She made another careful appraisal and came to the conclusion that it was probably a jade paperweight from the mid-Qing Dynasty.

    Liu Yuqing quickly made another comment, "This jade paperweight is a kind of study utensil, but it is also stained with the light of jade. This paperweight of a shepherd boy riding an ox in the middle Qing Dynasty performs well in all aspects and has considerable collection value.  .Zhou Xia, you have made a big mistake."

    Hearing her comment, Wang Chao and the others were all happy for Zhou Xia and congratulated him on receiving such a good baby. Zhou Xia quickly thanked them with a smile.

    While they were still celebrating, Liu Yuqing asked Zhou Xia again, "Zhou Xia, are you interested in handing over these two collections to the company for operation?"

    Her words were undoubtedly another bombshell, which shocked everyone.

    Even Zhou Xia was a little surprised, "Can they also be photographed?"

    Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "Why can't you go to the auction? The two treasures you bought are more valuable than many collections that are put up for auction, and the price at the auction will not be lower than the outside price. You know all this, I  I won¡¯t say much. It¡¯s not easy to collect auction items now, and your two treasures can be considered small boutiques. What do you think, think about it?¡±

    Zhou Xia naturally knows that what she said is true, he also works in this auction company!  He just owed Liu Yuqing a huge favor. He originally had the attitude of paying back as much as he could, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity so soon. Moreover, if it could be auctioned, it would be a win-win result for both parties.  The only regret is that I can't get cash quickly, and I have to pay some catalog fees in the early stage.

    Without weighing the gains and losses, Zhou Xia immediately replied without hesitation, "Of course. As an employee of the company, it is my duty to support the company's work. Unfortunately, I can only participate in the auction with this small red glaze cup."

    Liu Yuqing asked him in confusion, "What's going on? I think this jade paperweight of yours also has great potential. It's similar to the red glaze cup. If it's done well, it won't be difficult to sell tens of thousands more."

    "That's right, I have promised someone else to exchange this jade paperweight for a collection of equal value." Zhou Xia replied.

    Liu Yuqing felt more and more confused, but she could still keep her composure.

    However, Zhang Jie immediately jumped out and asked him loudly, "Zhou Xia, didn't you find this treasure at the ghost market this morning? How could you agree to someone else so quickly? I think you don't want to hand over this jade paperweight to the company."  Auctions are real.¡±

    Zhou Xia did not argue with him, but calmly explained, "Didn't I tell you just now? This jade paperweight is, I discovered it while following an old man. At that time, his bid was not enough and the stall owner refused to sell to him.  Then I saw that the jade paperweight was good, so I quickly added some money and took it.  After the ghost market ended, I went to the park to sit for a while, but unexpectedly I met the old man again.  After visiting the ghost market, he went to the park to exercise. He saw me playing with a jade paperweight and said that he particularly liked it. It was the only paperweight in his collection of stationery. He originally wanted to buy it, but I snatched it away.  go.  I was asked if I was willing to give up my possessions and transfer them. I was told that I would exchange them for collections of equal value.  At that time, I felt that his skills were pretty good, and he must have a lot of good things in his home. Just going to look at them was a good opportunity to increase my knowledge, so I readily agreed.  It's not that I don't want to give things to the company for auction. I feel quite relieved to hand over the red glaze cup to the company for auction. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a denial of our own work?  "

    "This story is quite confusing." Zhang Jie muttered loudly.

    "When you promise something, you must keep your promise." Liu Yuqing didn't think he was lying, because the antique circle in Donghai was not big to begin with. She was more curious, "Then did you ask the old man his name?"

    ¡°He only said his surname was Zhao, but he gave me his phone number and address, and asked me to take my baby to his house to pick out the baby after work,¡± Zhou Xia said.

    "Can you tell me the address?" Upon hearing that the old man's surname was Zhao, Liu Yuqing's pretty face suddenly showed a hint of joy.

    Zhou Xia had nothing to hide, so she told Liu Yuqing the old man¡¯s address and phone number, which was on Fuyou Road near the Old Town God¡¯s Temple.  It is not difficult to explain that it is quite convenient for him to go to the ghost market, and he exercises in the nearby park in the morning.

    Liu Yuqing's face blossomed, and she said with a smile, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhao. He really couldn't find anything after running through iron shoes, and it took no effort to get here. I was just going to visit his old man and see if I could collect some money from him. I didn¡¯t expect you, Zhou Xia, to be acquainted with him by fate. You don¡¯t have to go after get off work. Just bring the jade paperweight and we¡¯ll visit him later. He has quite a lot of exquisite collections, Zhou Xia, you have to choose carefully. Just the last one."

    Zhou Xia quickly nodded and agreed.  She said in her heart that Liu Yuqing had probably kept Zhao's baby in her heart for a long time, and now that she had the opportunity to come to the door openly, she would definitely not return empty-handed with her shrewdness.

    Liu Yuqing nodded with satisfaction and immediately asked him, "By the way, Zhou Xia, do you want to keep the treasures you got back from this exchange for yourself or what?"

    Zhou Xia was very sensible and shook his head quickly, "I haven't reached the level of collecting yet. What I want most is to hand it over to the company for auction."

    Liu Yuqing laughed when she heard this. She was beautiful in person. When she smiled happily, she looked like a gorgeous summer flower. Even Zhou Xia, who has always had strong self-control, felt a little dazzled. Others like Wang Chao and Zhang Jie were even more unbearable.  .

    "Okay! It's getting late. Let's take a photo of this small red glaze cup first. Be careful not to bump it or bump it. I think the starting price is 6,000, which is enough for such a small boutique.  When porcelain goes to auction, the price will definitely rise all the way. If the price is too high, it is not good. What do you think, Zhou Xia?" Liu Yuqing quickly got into work mode and took care of business.

    "I have no objection!" Zhou Xia clearly knew that this starting price was quite suitable for him.  Tiandi Auction Company also charges catalog fees. This catalog fee is charged based on the percentage of the estimated value. The lower the price is, the lower the catalog fee will naturally be. I don¡¯t know if Liu Yuqing also considers him.  Due to lack of money.  This catalog fee must be charged, and Tiandi Auction Company is qualified for auctions.

    And many leather bag auction companies on the market have no auction qualifications at all, and they make money by charging catalog fees.  They can give you an estimate of tens of millions for a replica, and the catalog fee they charge is naturally quite high. It's not unusual to have tens of thousands of yuan. They say it will be used to take photos and promote it, and they will wait until you pay the catalog fee.  Later, before the auction, they will tell you that for safety reasons or that the items are fakes, they will ask you to take the items back for storage, etc. Even if there is an auction, everyone will take selfies and buy for themselves.  As for the catalog fee you paid, sorry, it will not be refunded.

    Tiandi Auction Company charges catalog fees just to take photos and promote the auction items.  Moreover, the company has regulations. Even if Zhou Xia is an employee of the company, the rules will not be broken for him.

    "Okay, just do this!" Liu Yuqing ordered, and everyone started to get busy again and start a new day's work.  Zhang Jie, who has always been annoying, is also among them. In fact, he works very hard, but he is annoying with his mouth, and Liu Suifeng respects him. Even Liu Yuqing cannot easily drive him out of the company.

    Zhou Xia was stopped by Liu Yuqing and explained to him in a low voice, "Nowadays, if the auction starts at a low price, as long as the quality is good, the price will never be lower. Everyone sees that the original price is low, but competition willIt will be more intense, and in the end it is often easy to get a high price.  I think you understand this too, right!  "

    "Thank you, Manager Liu. It would be better if the price is lower. I can also take out less cash." Zhou Xia nodded.

    "You!" Liu Yuqing was amused by his straightforward words.
