Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After a while, it was time to eat. Liu Yuanshan asked Zhou Xia to stay and eat together. He also said that the auction catalog had not been completed yet and he would need his help later.  (.)

    Zhou Xia nodded and agreed. He ate and drank without much psychological pressure.

    The Liu family prepares meals here very early, and they are all served when the time comes. They are all exquisite and delicious dishes.  Although Zhou Xia's stomach has long been empty, he still eats very gracefully. This is also because he has been influenced by the surrounding environment.  Needless to say, Liu Yuqing and the other juniors are very well-behaved.  On the other hand, Zhao Xiangbo and a few old people were enjoying themselves with wine. Compared with the reserved juniors, they all seemed very comfortable.

    Zhou Xia controlled the eating speed, and then put down the bowls and chopsticks with Liu Yuqing and the others. Then Liu Yuanshan and the others drove them away, letting them go to have a rest first.

    After several people left the dining room, Liu Yuqing asked Zhou Xia if she was stressed.

    Zhou Xia said, "It's okay. I just focused on filling my stomach and didn't pay much attention to the transformation."

    Liu Yuqing laughed when she heard this and asked him if he wanted to take a rest and find him a guest room to lie down in.

    Zhou Xia waved her hand and said, "That's unnecessary. You might as well take advantage of this time and take a look at our auction catalogue."

    Liu Yuqing said that was fine, so she asked Liu Suifeng and Zhou Nanming if they wanted to take a rest.

    Both of them shook their heads and said that it would be better to get the catalog done as soon as possible and print it out as soon as possible.  In the morning, Liu Yuanshan and the others pointed out the problematic areas. First of all, they had to make many corrections in the electronic version, and they also had to add the picture of the cuckoo crying with blood brought by Zhou Xiaxin. This alone was enough for everyone to be busy.

    Several people had this intention, and since time was tight, they couldn¡¯t afford to rest.

    Zhou Xia did not underestimate Zhou Nanming and Liu Suifeng because of their previous changes. They have excellent basic qualities and are quite proficient in business skills.

    Zhou Nanming¡¯s photography level is quite high, so he took photos of the Cuckoo¡¯s Crying Blood painting, and then uploaded it to the computer to make an electronic catalog, which became one of the important tools for the release of this painting.  After all, he has been playing since he was a kid, and is much better than Zhou Xia, a half-hearted monk who became a monk on the way. Not to mention the equipment, they are all top-notch.

    Zhou Xia is self-aware, so she doesn't compete with him for this job and just works on the side, reciting the catalog that Liu Yuanshan and the others have revised, so that Liu Yuqing in front of the computer can make revisions.  The modifications made by Liu Yuqing were mainly in wording. Zhou Xia had to admit that after their modifications, the text became more beautiful and concise, making people more interested in bidding.  /

    At the same time, under their orders, some auction items were also removed.

    Those named are mainly paintings. French calligraphy and painting have always been the hardest hit area for counterfeit products.  In China, even big auction houses like Polygard have a lot of imitations, not to mention second-tier auction companies like Tiandi Auction Company, which receive some imitations. This is the most normal thing.

    Of course, this responsibility must also be placed on Liu Suifeng. After the lots are removed, all the auction numbers for this autumn auction will be re-arranged, and the workload will suddenly increase.

    Liu Suifeng is really in trouble, his head is extremely big.

    ¡° But Liu Yuanshan and the others couldn¡¯t disobey their opinions. How to deal with the aftermath and explain to the seller who sent the auction, Liu Suifeng had to handle such a matter by himself. Liu Yuqing would definitely not help him clean up the mess.

    But Liu Suifeng can't complain. The reason is that Liu Suifeng and Zhou Nanming did the good deeds themselves, and they can be regarded as reaping the consequences.

    This batch of items that have been withdrawn are all quite obvious imitations, which are the kind of items that experienced experts can judge to be inauthentic from the auction catalogue.

    Liu Yuanshan and the others are all sensible people. They understand that it is inevitable for high-quality imitations to sneak into auctions. Nowadays, they are found in all major auctions. It can be said that it is a public secret in the industry, so they turn a blind eye.  But Liu Suifeng and Zhou Nanming dared to show these obvious imitations. Aren't they clearly trying to destroy the Tiandi Auction Company's signboard and blatantly insult everyone's IQ?

    There is no need to discuss whether it should be withdrawn or it must be withdrawn.

    Liu Suifeng worked extremely hard to re-number the lots in the catalog. While the old men were away, he complained in front of Liu Yuqing and the others, "Grandpa and the others are really too. Is it easy to collect these lots after all their hard work?"  ? If all the auction items are genuine, then wouldn¡¯t everyone be extremely happy?¡±

    "You yourself have gone too far, don't blame others." Liu Yuqing replied that she had argued with Liu Suifeng and the others about this matter.

    Liu Suifeng said, "It's not like you don't know that nowadays, the means of fraud are very fast. Even if we have all kinds of skills, we can't guarantee that the identification will not be wrong and that there will be no imitations. Furthermore, all buyers in the auction should??It's their own judgment. If they are willing to buy it, we can't stop them!  They are our parents who provide us with food and clothing.  "

    "There is no easy appraisal. It's just like what you said. You might as well go to Zhou Nanming for private consultation instead of going to the auction." Liu Yuqing argued.

    "This is different, people like to bid at auctions! This is also a market demand." Liu Suifeng said, this phenomenon he said is quite common.

    ¡°It¡¯s not a hidden secret in the auction industry to know what¡¯s fake and what¡¯s fake.

    There are quite a lot of things here. The simplest is that if it is listed in the auction catalog of the auction company, even if it cannot be auctioned, it can still increase the exposure.  Sellers can also use the catalog to show off, saying that they have been to auctions, to increase the value of the auction items, and to deceive some collectors who are not very knowledgeable.

    Some buyers or even connoisseurs may choose to buy imitations at auctions, because the price of such imitations is not high, but they are sold by an auction company, and they look like they have an extra layer of packaging plating.  With a layer of gold, it is perfect for giving gifts.

    In addition, fake photos can also be used for money laundering, etc., and the entanglement of interests is even more complicated.  For example, those unknown auction companies suddenly sold tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars at a time. People who know the business will basically have a question mark in their hearts.

    Liu Yuqing naturally knew these things very well. She didn't even bother to argue with him, she just did the job at hand.

    Zhou Xia only used soy sauce to show that he was watching, but he also knew that what Liu Suifeng said was actually reasonable. Compared with the counterfeiting methods, the current identification methods are still developing too slowly.

    Take paintings as an example. Nowadays, high-tech techniques can be used to create fakes. The original paintings can be scanned into a computer, and then printed out using Hehe software and methods. The copies produced in this way can look like the real ones and deceive many unsuspecting people.  Experts, it¡¯s not difficult.  But the crux of the matter is, student Liu Suifeng, you can¡¯t taint people¡¯s attention with too crude imitations!  No wonder the old men can't stand it.

    Liu Suifeng only dared to complain a few words in front of them. After the old men had eaten and rested for a while, he could only shut up and accept the teachings of his elders with an open mind.

    During this period, Zhou Xiaban took a look at the catalog of this autumn auction, especially the paintings.

    In terms of miscellaneous porcelain, Liu Yuqing is more cautious and prudent, and with an old man like Xu Zhendong in charge, there is no lot that needs to be removed. At most, the words should be modified. If the photo is not good enough, take another photo.

    On the painting side, although Zhou Tong and others helped with the appraisal, this was only the case when encountering some relatively good auction items.  Especially in the field of modern art, a large part of the works were provided by Zhou Nanming's gallery. Only the two of them knew the trick.

    What Liu Yuqing has been striving for is the management of ancient Chinese painting works.  She has no interest in modern art works, and she rarely visits the gallery run by Zhou Nanming.

    After this incident happened, the elders of the Liu family became a little looser, but the key still depends on the results of this autumn auction.

    Zhou Xia, who was at the center of the whirlpool, was a little unaware. All he could think about was to do his own job as well as possible and help Liu Yuqing wherever he could.

    For him, he does not need to worry about the management of Tiandi Auction Company's autumn auction at all. He is still more concerned about how to quickly increase his own practical experience.

    Of course, now is also a good learning opportunity.

    Liu Yuanshan, Zhou Tong and a group of old men commented on the autumn auction items. Zhou Xia learned as much as he could.  He also feels that his horizons are much wider now than before.

    This is also the benefit that the archaeological identification system has brought to him. He has gained a lot of confidence. He can now try his best to try areas that he was unwilling or unable to touch before. If his vision has not improved, he will look too stupid.

    Zhou Xia can also feel that Liu Yuanshan and the others have quite high expectations for this autumn auction, because in addition to carefully negotiating the marketing strategy for auctioning important items, they also need to activate personal relationships to spread the news.

    After that, several more items were removed.  In Liu Yuanshan's view, it would be uneconomical for such small profits to affect the overall image of Tiandi Auction Company.

    Zhou Xia just did some recording work until the sun went down, and finally finalized all the matters concerning the auction catalogue. The old men still seemed to be a little unfinished.

    Zhou Xia could see that they were quite unique when they gathered together and exchanged their thoughts with each other.

      Then, he had another dinner at Liu's house, and then helped Liu Yuqing and Liu Suifeng organize the electronic version of the auction catalog.  Find a printing company to print it, and after confirming it is correct, you can officially launch the publicity and marketing work for this autumn auction.

    Because of the difficulty in collecting lots, their auction catalog came out relatively late, so the pressure on the shoulders of Liu Yuqing and Liu Suifeng, who were responsible for this work, was relatively high.

    In the end, when sending Zhou Xia off, Liu Yuanshan thanked him again and again, because he contributed so many lots and greatly enriched this autumn auction. If this autumn auction is a complete success, Zhou Xia will be the biggest contributor.
