    Auction companies have a fixed process, and Zhou Xia is already quite familiar with this process, but the difference is that this time he is signing an agreement with the company as the party being served.

    When Wang Yanli helped him get the contract to sign, she giggled and called him Boss Zhou.  Other colleagues also joined in the fun and asked for a treat from Boss Zhou.

    Zhou Xia nodded and said yes, "But it will take some time. When the autumn auction is over and the things are auctioned and the money is collected, we can treat everyone to dinner. Everyone, work harder. The higher the auction, the better the quality of the meal will be."

    Wang Chao shouted, "In order to have a good meal, we have to put a lot of thought into it, right?"

    Wang Yanli smiled, "It's really different now that Zhou Xia has become the boss. Now he's starting to squeeze our labor force."

    While joking, the matter of entrusting Zhou Xia's red-glazed cup to Tiandi Art Auction Co., Ltd. was quickly settled.  Wang Chao, who was in charge of taking the photos, also patted his chest and promised to take perfect photos of his red-glazed cup and strive to get a sky-high price when the time comes.

    Zhou Xia knew that the sky-high price he was talking about was relatively speaking, and it was completely incomparable to auction items that easily cost hundreds of millions.  Such a small piece of porcelain can be sold for more than 200,000 yuan, which is 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 event of Tiandi Auction Company every year, even more important than the spring auction. Liu Yuqing naturally does not dare to slack off at all. Due to the tight time, she does things neatly and neatly.

    The company¡¯s chief appraiser, Xu Zhendong, did not come to the company this morning. Zhou Xia guessed that he might also be initiating a relationship, or even visit the company in person to collect auction items.

    Liu Yuqing also reminded Zhou Xia to bring the jade paperweight he had just found, which would be a stepping stone for the two of them.  In her opinion, the quality of his jade paperweight is quite good. If it goes up for auction, especially for collectors like Mr. Zhao who particularly like study utensils, with some specific and unique planning, maybe it can be auctioned.  Pay several times the price.

    But now, since Zhou Xia has agreed to exchange collections with Mr. Zhao, he has also made it clear that the exchanged collections can be handed over to the company for operation.  No matter what, I have to exchange it for a collection that has collectible value and can easily be sold at an auction for a high price.

    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 origins.

    Mr. Zhao¡¯s name is Zhao Xiangbo. He used to be a professor of history at Tunghai University and is now retired.  His family background is profound and he has a lot of attainments. Not only does he have family heirlooms, but he also likes to hunt for treasures in antique markets.  The collection he has collected the most is from the study room, which contains many exquisite items and is a key collection target for the company.  But like many collectors who really like antique calligraphy and paintings, he values ??his treasures very seriously and will not easily hand them over for auction.

    Zhou Xia is not surprised that she knows Zhao Xiangbo so well, because the collecting circle is actually not large.  Especially people like Liu Yuqing and even himself who do auctions have more detailed requirements for this type of collector information.  There are detailed records of who has good collections and who likes what kind of collections.  Zhou Xia had had the opportunity to get access to the company's internal information before, printed it in a book, and asked them to make phone calls to collect auction items.  But some core customers are firmly in the hands of Liu Yuqing, Liu Suifeng and the others, firstly to keep them confidential, and secondly, those customers cannot be handled by Zhou Xia and others.

    As for the ways and channels of these sources of information, they are also quite wide. Some are purchased through intermediary companies, word of mouth, mutual exchanges, and personal relationships with insiders 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 the East China Sea since she was a child, and she can come to collect auction items.

    Nowadays, it is difficult to collect high-quality auction items. Even Liu Yuqing personally takes part in the project, but most of the time she comes back without success. If a newbie like Zhou Xia goes there, he is afraid that he will not even be able to get in and will be kicked away.  Nowadays, the competition among auction companies is also extremely fierce. Many collectors are annoyed by the phone calls from auction companies. Even Liu Yuqing, who comes to visit in person, does not know how many collectors have received.

    Therefore, Zhou Xia will not ask stupid questions, but has some different expectations for this trip to Zhao's hometown.

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

    Zhou Xia smiled and said, "It can be seen that he is quite interesting, not a serious person."

    Liu Yuqing was amused by him, "Mr. Zhao is indeed very lax."?, wait, if anything happens, I will wink at you.  "

    "It's not that exaggerated! It's not like a dragon in a tiger's den." Zhou Xia was a little disapproving. What tricks could he pull off?

    Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "That's it! I often bother him. Every time he sees me, he has a sad face. He is afraid that my beloved baby will be snatched away by me. If things get worse, he will hide from me when he sees you. As for his treatment of you  As for the impression, you just let him pick it up and miss it, but the jade paperweight is in your hand, and he won't turn you away, but with Mr. Zhao's temperament, why don't you show us how powerful he is?"

    "Manager Liu, you have rich experience. Please help me more. You know, I also represent the image of the company." Zhou Xia thought about it. With the temper Zhao Xiangbo showed in the morning, it was definitely possible to deliberately embarrass them.  of.  It is said that old children are old children. When this person gets old, his temperament will be similar to that of a child.

    Liu Yuqing said with some worry, "At the very least, a test is indispensable. I guess the most likely possibility is that he will take out a few collections and let you choose one. Mr. Zhao's collection has many high-quality products, but there are also imitations.  There are quite a few of them, and they are all high-quality imitations. If you are not careful, you will get caught. I will help you keep an eye on them when the time comes, and we will check the codes first."

    Zhou Xia has the system in hand, so naturally he will not be stumped by this kind of test.  But at this time, he would definitely not refuse Liu Yuqing's kindness, and replied with a smile, "I feel more relieved when Manager Liu is holding the battle for me. But it's the same as underground work, which is quite interesting."

    Liu Yuqing cheered him up and said, "You find it interesting, which means you are not too nervous. In fact, relax your mind and just do the appraisal as you usually do now. It's not a big deal. Your strength lies in your rich theoretical knowledge. After so many years,  , practical experience has gradually accumulated, and logically speaking, there will be no problem. However, do not be dazzled by the superficial phenomena, he may come up with some very tempting collections, especially those  For particularly precious items, be extra careful and just select collections of comparable value.¡±

    "Now it feels like fighting again." Zhou Xia quickly nodded and thanked her, saying that it seemed that she was really experienced in fighting.

    Liu Yuqing chuckled and said, "Whether it's a war or a business, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle! Moreover, there is another advantage to our trip. That is, Mr. Zhao doesn't know that I will go with you. You will call later."  Don't mention me first, maybe you can catch him off guard."

    "Besides, this is just a guess on my part. But no matter what, he has to bring out a few collections for you to choose from. If they are all of low value, I will uphold justice." Liu Yuqing then said.

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

    Over there, Mr. Zhao answered the phone and learned that Zhou Xia would be free to come to his home. He quickly called him over. Mr. Zhao had been thinking about the jade paperweight in the morning!  If he gets it earlier, he can feel at ease earlier. If the thing is in Zhou Xia's hands, it will change over time, which is not what he wants to see.

    Zhou Xia said she would be there soon, and did not mention Liu Yuqing¡¯s presence along the way.

    Mr. Zhao would never have thought that Liu Yuqing and Zhou Xia knew each other and would follow her to the door. Once Mr. Zhao saw her, it would be impossible to shut her out. The two of them did an excellent job in preparing for the war.  Quite thorough.
