Tianhai City's Jiaxi Auction House was a large auction house that mainly sold Chinese paintings, porcelain, jade, and jewelry. It worked closely with various chambers of commerce, elite clubs, collectors, and art organizations. The annual auction turnover was in the tens of billions, and its influence was huge.
The headquarters of Jiaxi Auction was not located on the antique street, but there was a business office nearby that specialized in appraising and purchasing items.
After Zhao Hao and Chen Yifa left Treasure House, they went straight to the Jiaxi Auction House.
"Do the two of you have items to sell?”
When the saleswoman saw a customer, she quickly came up to him. She glanced at the painting in Zhao Hao's hand and had a vague judgment in her heart. Such a casually carried painting was probably worth no more than 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.
"It's not for sale, it's for commission."
Zhao Hao said calmly," Get your most experienced appraiser here.”
"What? You want to invite Master Gu?"
The waitress frowned slightly." Excuse me, sir. May I ask where the painting in your hand came from?" To be honest, if it's a collection worth less than a million, I might not be able to hire Master Gu…"
The waiter looked polite on the surface, but the contempt in his words was very clear-is this painting of yours qualified to invite the most experienced appraiser to appraise it?
When Chen Yifa heard the waitress's words, she was worried for Zhao Hao. What kind of painting could be worth more than a million?
Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes and said coldly to the waiter," You'll know when you get someone to come and take a look. Whether it's worth a million or not is not up to you.”
The waitress's face stiffened when she heard that. Zhao Hao's words did make sense. She was not a master. Even if Zhao Hao said that this painting was worth a million, she could not tell if it was true or not.
It seemed that he really had to ask Master Gu to help.
"Just you wait!" The waitress said coldly and walked into the sales department.
She felt that Zhao Hao must be the kind of person who spent a huge sum of money to buy a fake painting and wanted to resell it to make a fortune.
The waitress was already used to seeing such people every day.
After the waitress left, Chen Yifa looked curiously at the painting in Zhao Hao's hand and asked tentatively," Zhao…" Hao, whose painting is this?"
Zhao Hao looked at Chen Yifa and said with a smile," If you're not used to calling me by my name, just call me Brother Hao!”
"Uh..." Chen Yifa blushed and lowered her head slightly." Okay, Brother Hao."”
Zhao Hao nodded and asked with a smile," Have you heard of Tang Bohu?”
"Of course I have! This is Tang Bohu's authentic work?" Chen Yifa almost jumped up. Her eyes widened as she looked at Zhao Hao in disbelief.
She had heard that the auction price of Tang Bohu's authentic works was tens of millions!
He didn't expect Zhao Hao to have such a top-notch painting!
Then, Chen Yifa remembered Zhao Hao's identity and felt relieved that he was the young master of the Zhao Corporation. This was probably the so-called " a skinny camel is bigger than a horse ".
The two of them waited for a full five minutes before the waitress came out with an old man in a Tang suit.
"Master, they are the ones who want to appraise the painting.”The waitress pointed at Zhao Hao and Chen Yifa and said coldly.
This old man in the Tang suit was the experienced appraiser of the Jiaxi Auction's Antique Street Business Hall, Gu Cheng. He was best at appraising calligraphy and paintings.
Gu Cheng looked as if he had not woken up yet and was still cursing," You should scold and wake up such an ignorant guest. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry has to be appraised by me. I don't have so much time."
"How can this old man speak like this?”Chen Yifa grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Zhao Hao's expression turned cold.
The waiter was a nobody with a bad attitude, so Zhao Hao could ignore it.
But now, even the experienced appraisers of Jiaxi Auction were of such quality. Did they really think that there was no other auction house in Tianhai City?
At this moment, Zhao Hao had already sentenced Jiaxi Auction to death.
No matter what, he wouldn't leave this painting of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix at the Jiaxi Auction House.
Although he had made up his mind, Zhao Hao did not leave immediately. Instead, he maintained a calm smile and waited for the old man in the Tang suit to come over and appraise the painting.
"Are you the ones who want to sell the painting? Let me see."
Gu Cheng quickly walked in front of Zhao Hao, stretched out his right hand, and said lazily.
Zhao Hao glanced at Gu Cheng's withered hand and said indifferently," You're already so old, yet you still don't know the rules? What if you dirty my calligraphy without wearing gloves?”
When the waitress heard this, she gave a disdainful glance. She thought to herself, This guy really has a lot of opinions!
F * ck, you're quite arrogant!
Gu Cheng was so angry that he almost wanted to turn around and run, but when he looked at the paper of the scroll of calligraphy and painting, he forced himself to suppress his anger. That paper seemed to be the living seal used in Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting.
Gu Cheng put on the appraisal gloves and asked angrily," Can I look at the calligraphy and painting now?”
Zhao Hao nodded and handed the scroll to Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng took the painting and placed it on the big table beside him, slowly unfolding it.
In just a few seconds, Gu Cheng's expression changed.
"D * mn, this composition, this charm, and the experienced brush strokes…It's actually Tang Bohu's authentic work?!”
The waitress, who had never taken Zhao Hao seriously, was completely stunned when she heard Gu Cheng's words!
Tang Bohu's authentic work? That was a treasure worth tens of millions!
If this business could be completed, wouldn't he be able to earn a commission of more than 100,000 yuan?
