    Soon, Xu Zhendong's appraisal results came out. He put down the yellow-green glazed jar lightly, and Jin Duoduo quickly stepped forward to protect it. It was obvious that he was particularly concerned about this treasure.

    However, he wanted to see something from Xu Zhendong's face, but he failed. Xu Zhendong is a battle-hardened person. If he doesn't really want to tell you, even if you pester him and insist on a few comments, what does that mean?  , you have to think carefully several times before you can understand it.

    Xu Zhendong had to discuss it quietly with Zhou Xia first, and then informed Jin Duoduo that he wanted different appraisers from the same company to give different appraisal results, which was a bit embarrassing.

    Xu Zhendong spoke first, "I think it's true, what do you think, Zhou Xia!"

    Zhou Xia nodded, "I think it's true, it was probably in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and yellow-green glaze with such artistic conception is quite rare. Good thing, if you plan it carefully, you should be able to achieve good results."

    Xu Zhendong nodded and said with a smile, "Indeed, I have never seen such colors and styles before. I think everyone else is similar."

    The results of their appraisals were completely consistent, so Liu Yuqing naturally did not need to go forward to conduct the appraisal in person. She also signaled to Zhou Xia to take down this fat fellow.

    Zhou Xia took the order and left. Jin Duoduo saw him coming over after discussing with the old master. It was obvious that he was here to announce the appraisal results, and he felt particularly nervous. He started to get close to him, "Fellow, I just offended you."  Where you are, you don¡¯t remember the faults of villains, so don¡¯t argue with me. I¡¯m easy to make mistakes, and I will definitely change my ways when I turn around.¡±

    Zhou Xia chuckled and said, "Fellow, don't worry. Even if the thing is not genuine, I will not smash your treasure."

    "Fellow, please don't scare me. Even though I'm big, I won't be scared!" Jin Duoduo almost trembled when he heard this. He just felt that his little heart couldn't bear it.

    Zhou Xia used to think that those titillating hosts on TV shows were particularly abominable. Even though the results were out, they still dragged their feet until everyone got excited and got impatient before announcing the results.  But now he is doing the same thing, and he feels really good. "Before announcing the appraisal results, I still have to ask, if it is genuine, are you willing to hand over this collection to our Tiandi Auction Company for auction?"  ?¡±

    Jin Duoduo nodded, "Yes, of course I am."

    Zhou Xia said with satisfaction, "Then I will tell the truth!"

    Jin Duoduo was so nervous that he didn't even take a breath when he heard Zhou Xia say, "This large jar with yellow-green glaze has a dense texture, mellow color, natural opening, clear and smooth texture, and the shape and style of the jar are similar to those of the mid-Tang Dynasty. However,  The mouth and bottom of the jar are slightly damaged, but it is not easy to preserve it intact. It has been identified as a rare masterpiece from the mid-Tang Dynasty and is estimated to be about 60,000 yuan. Congratulations fellow!"

    When Zhou Xia said "but", Jin Duoduo's heart almost rose to his throat. Who knows, no matter how extravagant the praise is, the "but" behind it is the most critical.  After he said that it was indeed an authentic product from the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Duoduo was relieved and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, fellow! For your trouble."

    Zhou Xia hurriedly responded, "Fellow, you are too polite! If you have no objections to our appraisal and valuation, you can sign an auction contract with us and be in time to participate in this autumn auction."

    Jin Duoduo naturally had some doubts in his heart, "Since it is an authentic product from the mid-Tang Dynasty, how far back is it from the mid-Tang Dynasty? Is the estimated price of 60,000 yuan a little too low?"

    Zhou Xia often encountered this situation before, so he patiently explained, "fellow, you may not know much about the current market conditions. It does not mean that the older the collection is, the higher its value will be. Let me tell you this, like  This kind of ancient porcelain has never been popular in the domestic market. Nowadays, the porcelains that can fetch sky-high prices are basically Ming and Qing porcelains. What's more, your piece is not considered porcelain, it can only be regarded as painted pottery. But its external appearance and glaze color  It's very good, that's why we give such a high estimate. In fact, if we go to the auction, our starting price may be lower. Our auction company will promote it more. As long as someone likes it and competes a few times,  The price can easily go up. We are all fellow villagers, and we won¡¯t tell you false things. If someone tells you that you are a national treasure, it is worth at least one million and even tens of millions.  Yiyi, I must be lying to you. If you don¡¯t believe me, you might as well go and investigate for yourself and see if I have lied to you."

    Jin Duoduo looked at him and it didn¡¯t look like he was lying. In fact, before he sent the baby to the auction company, he had done some research and had some understanding of the market conditions.  After all, information is so advanced now. As long as collectors pay more attention, they can reduce the chance of being cheated.

    "I can trust my fellow villagers, so I will hand over the treasure to your auction company for auction."??.  "Jin Duoduo originally wanted to put the collection up for auction, so he agreed immediately.

    "Thank you fellow villager for your support!" Zhou Xia called Wang Yanli over to help him handle the auction contract for this large yellow-green glaze jar.

    He chatted with Jin Duoduo about their family affairs, and asked if any of his ancestors had served as officials or minor officials in the Tang Dynasty.

    Jin Duoduo was a little confused. Zhou Xia smiled and said, "Fellow, you said this treasure was handed down from your ancestors. I guess that such fine pottery, even if it is produced by a private kiln, cannot be used by ordinary people."  Affordable. Maybe it came from the palace. Didn't Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, take refuge in Shu for a period of time due to the Anshi Rebellion? I estimate that this pottery was probably created at that time.  Because this kind of glaze color is extremely rare. At that time, probably only Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, had such artistic talent. Especially when he was depressed and missed Ma Weipo and was forced to kill Concubine Yang Guifei, this kind of  The poem is picturesque, and the artistic talent with very freehand brushwork is fully demonstrated. When I go home, I can look up the family tree or ask the elders in the clan to verify it carefully. Contact me at that time, and we will make a detailed plan.  "

    Jin Duoduo suddenly realized that fellow Zhou Xia was really helping him!

    It is said that there is a story or folklore behind every antique collection. It is really not an exaggeration.  No matter whether these stories are true or false, as long as they are told vividly so that others can believe them.

    Jin Duoduo is not a fool. He naturally understands that if it is related to Tang Xuanzong's entry into Shu and his poignant love story with Yang Guifei, it is much more meaningful and valuable than his so-called ancestral things. This auction  Prices will naturally go up as well.

    Zhou Xia would not communicate with people like Jin Duoduo about such a publicity plan like he did with Liu Yuqing. Otherwise, he might not know what you want to do by talking so much in the clouds.  .

    Jin Duoduo smiled so much that her little eyes almost narrowed, "Please remind me, fellow villagers, I will definitely ask you questions when I go back."

    "Actually, it doesn't matter if I find you. I just need to confirm that it was handed down from your ancestors." Zhou Xia just talked casually, but he didn't dare to expect Jin Duoduo to really find concrete evidence.

    The two were discussing. After hearing this, Xu Zhendong, who was next to him, found it even more interesting. Zhou Xia really knew how to tell stories this time, which made him connect with Concubine Yang Guifei of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

    But if you think about it carefully, you can¡¯t rule it out that this possibility does exist.

    Xu Zhendong looked at Liu Yuqing again, and she also looked in agreement. He softly praised, "Zhou Xia did a good job in publicity and planning. This picturesque yellow-green glazed pottery can indeed bear such a  emotion."

    Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "I was just about to say this. Glaze colors like this are really rare. Things are rare and valuable. No matter whether the story can impress others, as long as the thing is high-quality, things will be much easier to handle." Xu  I can absolutely trust the appraisal level of Master and Master Zhou."

    "Zhou Xia also has a relatively accurate grasp of the price. Many powerful collectors don't care about this small amount of money at all. If they see that the auction price is not high and join the competition, the scene will be even better." Xu Zhendong  Nodding in agreement, at the level of him and Liu Yuqing, they would not easily believe the stories behind these collections. They would only look at the things without listening to the stories.  But if you put something at an auction, the publicity is well planned, and the thing is a high-quality product, even if most bidders are not moved by the story, as long as a few bidders are moved, the price will naturally go up.  For the auction company, this is exactly the result they are happy to see. The higher the price, the more commission the auction company can receive.

    In addition to the two of them, Wang Yanli, who helped sign the contract, and Wang Chao, who was in charge of taking photos, were also swayed by Zhou Xia's unconstrained thinking.

    "I really dare to think about it!" Wang Chao felt ashamed in his heart, but thinking about that era and what Zhou Xia said, maybe it was really possible.

    With admiration for Zhou Xia, Wang Yanli also had to explain to Jin Duoduo the company's catalog fees, "We usually charge catalog fees based on the estimated rate, and they are mainly used for taking pictures, making catalogs, and publicity."  Planning these costs is necessary. The valuation your fellow countryman Zhou Xia gave you for the baby is not high, and the catalog fee you need to pay is very small. Some companies like to estimate sky-high prices for people, easily reaching millions and tens of millions, so the catalog fee  A rising tide lifts all boats, I estimate that a treasure like you will have to pay at least tens of thousands of yuan in catalog fees."

    Jin Duoduo did some homework before, "I heard that some big auction companies don't charge catalog fees!"

    Wang Yanli said, "You must have been misled. It's not that they don't charge catalog fees, but?Collect it after the transaction is completed.  Our auction company's business scale is not as large as theirs, so our business methods are different.  But Mr. Jin, you can rest assured that our Tiandi Auction Company is a company with first-class cultural relics auction qualifications. You can also check our company's past auction records, which are all public.  "

    Wang Yanli has seen a lot of situations like this, and there was no need for Zhou Xia and the others to take action. After she explained patiently, Jin Duoduo didn't say much and paid a few hundred yuan to ask Wang Yanli to help complete the entrusted auction.

    After the contract was signed, Jin Duoduo¡¯s large yellow-green glazed jar was kept by Tiandi Auction Company.  Zhou Xia also told him that he would ensure that it would be included in the autumn auction of Tiandi Auction Company and strive for the best results.

    Jin Duoduo thanked him repeatedly, and finally Zhou Xia even sent him out personally.

    At this point, Zhou Xia¡¯s debut as an appraiser has been successfully completed.
