A good man will fight to the end, and Annie got an invitation in the hands of the dragon boss.
He specializes in arts and crafts. The main business of Mr. Long’s shop is porcelain. He has little interest in jade and jewelry. He just plans to have a look and then finish the auction. The favor invitation in his hand is meant to be distributed, but it doesn’t interest him at all. reluctantly. But it is a rare thing for a layman like Annie, and there is no loss in giving one to Annie.
There is no free lunch in the world. The price Anne paid for this invitation was to buy the Ding kiln vase with her first counteroffer, 50,000 yuan.
Of course, the waiter's eloquence also contributed. The student said that the invitation could only be obtained according to the number of people. He pushed back Anne's last counter-offer of 10,000 yuan, and finally settled on 50,000 yuan, which was mutually agreed upon. Price accepted.
Going to the auction alone is not the right way. After Annie sent Driver Lu her location, she continued to visit the antique store.
If Driver Lu doesn't come, Annie doesn't think it's a safety issue if she doesn't bring an assistant or something. The main thing is that it's a must-have.
The vase is slightly larger and "antique", so the clerk came up to pack it professionally.
It takes time to wait for people and goods. The waiter suggested that Annie continue to see if there is anything else she likes. Looking at this exquisite shop specializing in "Ding Kiln" porcelain, she didn't care. She thought of it because of her obsessive-compulsive disorder. , the utensils to be used to hold crystal nuclei in the future are best made of porcelain for easy cleaning!
Based on previous experience, many crystal nuclei are not put in the bag after being cleaned. There are many opportunities to dig them out and throw them into the bag when there is time. Using a bucket or something like that is a little less attractive.
In this store, there are everything from fish tanks to small pens and pens. Anne waved the invitation in her hand and asked the boss about the association. She pointed at several fish tanks, pens and open vases and bought a few! The color is genuine and the imitation is correct. The most important thing is that it will be more suitable to install the crystal core in the future.
It doesn’t matter if you have money or not, Annie bought it and made the waiter smile...
The boss is also idle when he is idle. He is familiar with you once and twice, and the invitations are given as gifts. He must be a regular customer and a friend!
Annie bought new ancient porcelain, and Boss Long didn't feel uncomfortable at all. This is a business that tests one's eyesight. It's just right for a newbie to take medicine, be fooled, and pay tuition.
He held a small purple sand teapot in his hand and chatted freely while telling Annie everything he wanted to know about the auction and Wei...
"These are just rumors, just for fun, not trustworthy."
Anne listened with great interest, and looked at the appropriate vases and jars with big bellies and small mouths. As long as they liked the color and the right size, they would practice their eloquence with the waiter and bargain for the price.
Driver Lu also quickly rushed to Temple Street to meet his eldest daughter at Anne's call.
Finally, after a pile (more than 10 pieces) of porcelain from the Xin Ding kiln was solemnly packed in wooden boxes and wooden frames, driver Lu and the waiter and others locked the goods behind the RV driven by Annie, and accompanied them Annie walked towards the office where the auction tickets were exchanged and the deposit was paid.
You can't go, the auction will start tonight. The waiter and his boss broke up amicably with Annie, their "New Home Slope" friend.
See you soon!
Later, they met again. The waiter watched Annie throw the crystal core into a very familiar bottle, and looked at her boss in silence. He knew in his heart that Miss An probably didn't have a blind eye. Why she bought it, although she didn't know. The reason is definitely not the reason why I imitate the work so well. Little did he know that one of his posts would make Anne's life-long achievement. Boss Long and Xiao Er were immediately embarrassed, but Annie didn't realize anything was wrong between them at all. Let’s talk about it later, let’s not mention it.
Anne paid a deposit of 5 million yuan and successfully got the closest seat among the remaining seats, in the middle of the seventh row.
The auction was quite formal. The venue was rented by Jiadeli Auction House, and the auctioneer was lent by Jiadeli Auction House. Everything was very formal. Annie had been to this auction house several times with her father, and she didn’t know anything about auctions. Not unfamiliar.
Checking the time, it was not convenient to go home either early or late, so I found a nearby steakhouse and ordered a set meal with Driver Lu each. Prepare to participate in the auction after eating.
After the iced lemon tea was served, Annie took out the catalog and looked at it carefully at her seat. In the auction catalog, Annie carefully looked at the set of jade jewelry on the brochure again. The ring ring in it looked familiar, but Wei Ruhai had to authenticate it. .
This set of jewelry consists of several jewelry pieces, the main body of which is a 108-bead bracelet.
The bracelets of Dharma beads (three links) and pagodas (Buddha heads) form a solemn and erect Buddha statue with a precious appearance, kind eyebrows and kind eyes. It represents the Dharmakaya wisdom of Amitabha Buddha where all Buddhist dharma belongs. This is where the age is questionable. Such a Buddha-headed three-way connection should have only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty.
The 108 sub-beads are all the same size and are stuck to one centimeter.
Two of the knot beads are in the shape of long drum-shaped lotus pods. Slightly larger than Zi Zhu. The other one, also called the top bead, is a pair of Buddha's hands that fit together perfectly. They divided the 108-particle beads into four parts.
The cloud on the back is a cloud with auspicious patterns. There are only ten disciple beads with a diameter of 0.6, divided into two strings and strung together with the clouds behind them. These beads should originally be made of other materials, but this Buddhist beads bracelet is made of the same jade material.
The ropes that string them together are also light blue, a very light blue, which is not easy to recognize, but it is so obvious. It will never be thought of as white.
There is also a red note on it. The material of the rope is not cotton, but should be made of some kind of animal skin.
Anne didn't care much, that wasn't the point.
The rope of the same color was tied with an eight-treasure knot and strung with a first-class carved lotus jade bead. Below it was a large rectangular sign with a width of 4.9, a length of 6.6, and a thickness of 1.9. Anne couldn't move her eyes away from this sign. It was so transparent. There is simply nothing that can compare to that moist feeling.
Next is a partial picture of a finely carved double-circle bamboo ring. The ring is not big. When viewed from the side, the ring has two bamboo sections juxtaposed. When measured, it is only 0.39, and the diameter of the inner ring is 1.9 centimeters.
Then there is Annie's main target, a plain ring. The inner ring of the ring is 3.3 centimeters, which looks big at first sight. Both the ring and the no-nonsense card appear thick. Comparing it with the pinky ring, it is obviously a men's ring and the size can only be used by men.
Annie knew that the photos in the brochure were illuminated and the color of the jade was not realistic, but she was at least 90% sure.
Unfortunately, there are many pieces of jewelry in this set, so the few partial photos cannot be seen clearly. Anne wishes she could go to the auction house to see the real thing right away.
After a quick dinner, Driver Lu turned the steering wheel and arrived at the Jiadeli Auction House in half an hour.
The people who are entering the venue are either rich or noble. They are all dressed formally and have the sense of being on the red carpet. Annie's dress has never been inferior to others, and Driver Lu's clothes are also customized. (The An family has never been short of such things. Thousands of dollars, the welfare benefits provided by Uncle Ho and others are excellent.)
