    Su Xiaoru was busy taking over Nian Zhou Xia's remaining work and asked him to call Xu Yaohui quickly.

    Zhou Xia quickly called Xu Yaohui and asked him if he had lunch and what he wanted from him.

    "Have eaten! Didn't I discuss it with you this morning to develop in the Dharma field?

    No, I just revealed this news in the morning, and I got a response very quickly. More than one person said that they had a good thing, which made me very confused.  "Excitement and worry were mixed in Xu Yaohui's words, and he did not hide this emotion in front of Zhou Xia.

    Zhou Xia Dang even smiled and said, "That's a good thing. It means that Uncle Xu has a wide network of contacts and great reputation, and everyone from the family is willing to come to support him."

    Xu Yaohui smiled bitterly and said, "Zhou Xia, please don't put a high hat on me. How can I not understand these guys? They are all old and cunning. How can they be so easy to talk to? Face is earned by oneself, not given by others. The real thing in their hands may be  Yes, but definitely not many. Those who are willing to give it to me,

    It is even rarer.  I think their pretentiousness is more like digging a hole and waiting for me to jump.  They must have felt that I didn¡¯t have much experience in this area, so I could take advantage of it and pay them some tuition fees.  "

    Zhou Xia saw that Xu Yaohui had a very deep understanding of this. He was worthy of being a person who often hangs out in the world. He is experienced and seasoned. "Among the modern French works, the most fake and imitated ones are the most common. We have to be more careful and not sure."  Yes, just don¡¯t take action easily. By the way, I don¡¯t know much about contemporary art. Uncle Xu, have you done any research on contemporary art?¡±

    Xu Yaohui shook his head, "I don't know much about contemporary art, and market prices change too fast. I don't want to wade into troubled waters. Just these modern paintings make me feel quite unsure, and I don't know if this move is right."  wrong."

    Zhou Xia said, ¡°It¡¯s always good to try more. After all, fine porcelain is not something you often encounter.¡±

    "That's true, business is getting harder and harder now. These guys all asked me to go to their stores to have a look. Zhou Xia, when are you free, let's go and have a look together. It doesn't matter whether you buy something or not, just go  Just take a look, you still have to give them some face." Xu Yaohui said to him.

    "Then I'll come over later and meet up at Uncle Xu's shop. By the way, I'll bring one more person with me, that's no problem!" Xu Yaohui said so, so Zhou Xia naturally wanted to give him face, and it would be quite good to go and inspect the market in person.

    Xu Yaohui chuckled and asked him who he wanted to bring.

    Zhou Xia answered truthfully, "The junior sister of our school is interested in working hard in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting works. Let her gain some experience and knowledge together, although I don't understand it very well, haha."

    Xu Yaohui smiled mysteriously, "That's no problem. Zhou Xia, you are so awesome that you have started to teach your disciples."

    Zhou Xia smiled and said, "That's not really a problem. With my little ability, it's good to be able to take care of myself. It's better to teach others less. I just want her to see what actual combat is like and learn something."  It depends on her own understanding. Anyway, it¡¯s better than staying in school and just doing appraisals. So for now, we¡¯ll rush over right away and we¡¯ll discuss it in detail.¡±

    Xu Yaohui said yes and then hung up the phone.

    Su Xiaoru here had already cleaned up the rest of the tail, and then Zhou Xia went out with her and went straight to Xu Yaohui's Jubaozhai.

    Su Xiaoru was still a little worried on the way, and asked him if Xu Yaohui could talk well, and whether he looked down on her because of her low skills and was holding her back.

    Zhou Xia stretched out her hand and tapped her head. "You are thinking too much. Uncle Xu is a very nice person. I am not even close to you in appraising calligraphy and painting. If you want to grow up quickly, it is inevitable to pay some tuition. If you are motivated,  There is pressure, but it also stimulates people's growth."

    Su Xiaoru glared at him dissatisfiedly, "Senior brother, knocking people will make them stupid."

    Zhou Xia smiled and said, "I am giving you the initiation, do you understand?"

    "Then I have to thank my senior brother, but why don't I feel any changes?" Su Xiaoru didn't give him face.

    Zhou Xia said, "You will know later!"

    Su Xiaoru only gave him a roll of her eyes, and then said, "No matter how crazy you are, senior brother, I think it's better for me to read more and talk less, so as not to make people laugh later."

    Zhou Xia said, "I won't laugh at you anyway!"

    "That doesn't mean that others don't laugh at her. Hum, I'll just play it safe!" After all, Su Xiaoru still lacks confidence. She doesn't have the same confidence as Zhou Xia.  The two chatted and laughed, and it only took more than ten minutes to walk to Xu Yaohui's store.

    Xu Yaohui was waiting for them. Besides him, his wife Yu Fengxia was also there. It was noon and there were no customers in the store.

    Seeing Tong Xia arrive, Xu Yaohui is enthusiasticHe greeted them politely, and Zhou Xia also introduced them and Su Xiaoru.

    Su Xiaoru was lively and cheerful, not timid, and looked generous. She said hello to them, "Hello, Uncle Xu, hello Aunt Yu!"

    Yu Fengxia smiled and said, Liu Xiaoru is also good!  Xiaoru, are you Zhou Xia's junior sister?  "

    Su Xiaoru replied, "Yes, Brother Zhou Xia is two years ahead of me. He has a successful career in just over a year after graduation. He is the idol of our class. I just want to follow him and learn more in practice."

    "Haha, you have the same temperament as our Xin'er. She also regards Zhou Xia as her idol and said that she will also become an appraiser in the future. Xiaoru, you will often come to the store to play in the future. I think you and our Xin'er will definitely have a good relationship.  Come!" Yu Fengxia said.

    Su Xiaoru said yes repeatedly and asked how old their children were now and where they were studying. The two women had a lively chat.

    Zhou Xia ignored them and talked directly to Xu Yaohui.

    He first confessed to Xu Yaohui and said, "Uncle Xu, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see the actual paintings and calligraphy works so soon. The funds I have at hand are only about 100,000, so I may not be able to buy anything good."

    Xu Yaohui said he didn't mind, and said to him, "Unless it is a particularly good calligraphy and painting work, the price of ordinary genuine calligraphy and painting works will not be too high. We all buy things according to the market price, but they cannot be compared with the prices at auctions."  .

    I can still scrape together hundreds of thousands here.  As long as you don't want to eat a big fat man in one bite, buy masterpieces that cost tens of millions, or buy some lower-priced calligraphy and painting works, it's okay to try the water first.  "

    "That's a good relationship!" Zhou Xia said, but he also knew that if he really encounters something valuable, no matter how high the price is, even if it is a loan, it will be worth it.  I'm afraid that I won't come across good stuff. Nowadays, genuine products are hard to find, and counterfeit products flood the market, making it hard to guard against.

    After the two discussed carefully for a while, they were ready to leave. Yu Fengxia stayed behind to look after the store. Su Xiaoru still looked a little reluctant. Zhou Xia didn't understand, so she didn't think too much about it.

    On the way, Xu Yaohui was not afraid of losing face in front of his juniors and exposed his shortcomings, saying that although he was engaged in the antique collection business, he basically worked on porcelain and miscellaneous items and did not know much about French works. If he made any mistakes,  place, let them point it out in time without caring about his face.

    Zhou Xia and Su Xiaoru both said they didn¡¯t dare to take it seriously. They were more novices and followed the principle of seeing more and buying less, so they would never go wrong no matter what they did.

    It is said that every other line is like a mountain, but in the antique collecting world, it is actually similar.  After all, porcelain, jade and Dharma are two completely different systems. It is normal to not be able to figure out the way.

    Even though Xu Yaohui doesn¡¯t know much about calligraphy and painting, he still understands some of its operating methods.

    Various high technologies have also been applied to counterfeiting. The current popular trend is that group operations such as scanning, printing, copying, calligraphy and painting, sealing, distressing, speculation, shipping, auctioning, etc. are becoming more and more professional.  It¡¯s almost a one-stop service.

    In such a big environment, if you are not careful, you will only be trapped by imitations.

    Zhou Xia also asked Xu Yaohui why he didn¡¯t cooperate with Zhou Nanming and Gu Suifeng, who were much more professional.

    Xu Yaohui said bluntly, "They all have their own fixed incoming and shipping channels. It doesn't matter if I join in and share the profits. It's better to be like us now. Although it tests everyone's vision, it is better than being free."

    Zhou Xia didn¡¯t say much. He estimated that Xu Yaohui might still be embarrassed.

    Xu Yaohui was in front, leading the two of them into the small shop on the roadside. Zhou Xia didn't even have time to raise his head to see what the sign outside the store was. He didn't want to care, he just needed to see if Yixi was right.

    "Old Wang, how is business?" Xu Yaohui greeted the owner of the shop.

    Lao Wang is a middle-aged man in his fifties. His appearance is not very good. He is a little bald, but he is not a particularly vulgar type. He still has some bookishness about him. Seeing that there are two people following Xu Yaohui, he immediately asks  "It's okay, Lao Xu, who are these two?" Xu Yaohui said with a smile, "These are the consultants I specially invited to help me look at things, so as not to be deceived by you, an old profiteer, without knowing it."  "Brother, don't talk about second brother, Lao Xu, you are still not a profiteer yourself. But I did receive a few good things these days. I heard that you also want to develop in this area. In the future, we will have closer contact, so I specially took it."  Come out to you and be worthy of our friendship!" Lao Wang laughed, but he did not take this young man and a woman seriously.

    Because both of them are too young, Zhou Xia is only 24 or 25 years old. Although he has some experience, in the eyes of people in this industry, he is still a young boy, not at all.How much experience will you have? Even if you start from a young age, it¡¯s good to be able to get started.  As for Su Xiaoru, not to mention, looking at her clothes, she knew she was a student, so it was enough to join in the fun.  As for asking them to serve as advisers, he just thought Xu Yaohui was joking!

    Xu Yaohui is an old man. How could he be deceived by his words? He just said, "Then take out the good things you received and let's take a look! I made a promise first, don't use imitations to deceive."  I, I won¡¯t accept this.¡±

    "Whether it's a high imitation or not, I don't have to say, you have to look at it and make your own judgment. Also, Brother Xu, didn't you find a consultant? Is it possible that I can still hide it from so many of you?" Lao Wang smiled.  , his eyes narrowed slightly, but his answer was also quite skillful.

    "It's hard to say, but no matter what, let's take out the things first and then talk about it!" Xu Yaohui is also a person who often hangs out in this industry, so it's not clear what he means.

    To put it bluntly, he takes out the things and the buyers make judgments based on their own eyesight. After the sale is over, no one should blame anyone.  Therefore, even if it is really a high imitation, they will not leave any loopholes in the language, let alone clearly guarantee that it is genuine.  This is no longer a secret in the industry, so those who spend a lot of money to buy imitations and go back to the boss to return them are basically out of luck. Even if the lawsuit is taken to court, the case will often be lost due to lack of evidence.  .

    Zhou Xia is also very clear about such things. Only Su Xiaoru is a little confused, but she is also very clear about what Lao Wang means, that is, she does not want to keep things authentic.

    Lao Wang asked them to wait for a while, and then went to the back hall to get the paintings.

    Su Xiaobi took the opportunity to ask Zhou Xia, "Brother, do you think this boss is trustworthy? Why do I feel like he is shirking responsibility?"

    Zhou Xia replied, "It doesn't matter whether he is trustworthy or not. The purpose of our trip is not to see people or listen to stories. We just want to see if the things are right. If the things are right and the price is right, then we will buy them."  : If something is wrong, no matter how cheap the price is, you won¡¯t buy it, it¡¯s just that simple to throw it away.¡±

    Xu Yaohui also explained to her, "As Zhou Xia said, it doesn't matter whether you listen to those polite words or not. The key is to see how things are. I hope we won't be too disappointed."

    Zhou Xia said, "Don't worry, Uncle Xu. It's definitely not that kind of licensed product. Otherwise, you would be looking down on your strength, Uncle Xu." "What is licensed product?" Su Xiaoru asked immediately.

    "Licensed goods are relatively shoddy and very low-quality imitations. Experts can tell at a glance that they are not authentic. They can only be used to fool collectors who are just getting started." Zhou Xia explained.

    Su Xiaoru felt like it was talking about her. She looked around this small shop selling calligraphy and paintings, and felt that many of the paintings inside still looked like that.  But Zhou Xia and Xu Yaohui basically didn't pay attention to it, nor did they show any special interest.  She was just waiting for Lao Wang to come out with something. Presumably, none of these paintings were authentic, which made her truly understand how difficult it was to appraise calligraphy and paintings.

    Soon, Lao Wang took out the painting and said to them with a smile, "Brother Xu, I collected this with great difficulty. You will see the difference after you carefully appreciate it. Don't worry, this year his  The works are all popular, so I don¡¯t have to worry about not being able to sell them. If it weren¡¯t for our good friendship, I wouldn¡¯t be reluctant to show them.¡± After hearing what he said, Zhou Xia secretly complained in her heart, Damn, the works are all popular, and it must not be Li Keran.  The works are good.  If you want to come up with some more pictures of shepherd boys and cows, it will be funny!

    Su Xiaoru was a little confused after hearing this, but more importantly, she was looking forward to it.

    But after Xu Yaohui unfolded several paintings, Su Xiaoru was immediately confused. What was going on? She saw the "twin" cattle herding pictures that she had just discussed with Zhou Xia in the morning. Now the twins had become "triplets" again!  !  !  !
