Hearing the twists and turns in Shen Jing's words, Chen Jing immediately turned from disappointment to surprise and asked, "Sister Shen, who are you?"

Although with Chen Jing's current net worth, the dragon-shaped pig head jade pendant worth only over 200,000 yuan seems not that important.

But again, more than two hundred thousand is not money?

In addition, at this stage, Chen Jing has not reached the stage of collecting by himself, and the dragon-shaped pig head jade pendant has academic research value, which is difficult to appreciate. Even in the future, as objects with similar academic research value appear, more and more objects will appear. , will also depreciate.

In this case, Chen Jing naturally didn't want the dragon-shaped pig head jade pendant to fall into his hand, so it was best to take action.

Shen Jing smiled and replied: "Professor Chen."

Professor Chen?

Hearing this interested person, Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, then a little surprised: "Professor Chen?"

To be honest, Chen Jing had never thought about giving the dragon-shaped pig-head jade pendant to Professor Chen before. It was not for other reasons, but simply because he felt that his level was too high, and the dragon-shaped pig-head jade pendant was not of interest to him yet. the point.

That's Professor Chen.

"Professor Chen, are you interested in the dragon-shaped pig head jade pendant?" Chen Jing thought in his mind and couldn't help but ask.

Shen Jing nodded: "Well, I didn't expect him to be interested. I just asked all the collectors I know and no one was interested. I met him two days ago and mentioned it casually. Sentence, I didn’t expect Professor Chen to be interested.”

"He also collects, and his favorite collection is antiques with academic research value."

Chen Jing couldn't help but thank him when he heard this: "I really trouble Sister Shen this time."

Kong Xue also echoed: "Xiaojing, thank you."

"Why are you two so polite?" Shen Jing waved her hand and said, "Professor Chen will be free in two days. I will help you contact him then. You can take the jade pendant to show him. If there is no problem, He will probably accept it."

"Yeah." Chen Dingding nodded, feeling a little happy.

Professor Chen is interested in the dragon-shaped pig head jade pendant, which is indeed a good thing. Not only can he sell the jade pendant, but he may also take the opportunity to get to know him better.

After talking about the dragon-shaped pig head jade pendant, Kong Xue pulled Shen Jing aside to whisper, and asked her to have lunch with her.

After waiting for a while, the appraisers of the New Century finally identified the Jade Buddha.

"Minister Shen, this jade Buddha is genuine. It is made of solid jade, or the best mutton-fat white jade. The carving technique is superb and the artistic value is not low. Judging from the style, it should be something from the late Gongbang Dynasty."

The appraiser didn't talk too much and just talked about a few important points of the Jade Buddha.

Shen Jing nodded seriously and asked, "How much do you estimate?"

"This..." When it came to the valuation, the appraiser hesitated for a moment and then said: "It depends on the situation. After all, this is an antique from a Burmese shop. It's hard to say how many people are interested. If it is just a general publicity, it should be within two days." Between one million and three million, such a large piece of fine mutton-fat jade is worth the price."

This valuation is already much higher than Chen Jing's own previous valuation.

Shen Jing's expression remained unchanged: "What if I give a promotion?"

Hearing the publicity, the appraiser glanced at Chen Jing with a little surprise. The tenth anniversary auction of the new century was of extremely high standard, and the weight of the publicity was far heavier than that of the usual auctions. The average object was You definitely can't get it.

From the perspective of this appraiser, although the value of the Jade Buddha is good, the publicity is somewhat reluctant.

However, Shen Jing is the director of the porcelain and handicrafts department, and she has the power to decide how many items will be promoted in the first batch.

"For the first stage of publicity, I suggest that the direction of publicity and hype can be to connect this Jade Buddha with the tin robe of the last king of the Konbang Dynasty. In this way, there will be many interested bidders, and the estimate can be 4 million to 5 million. million."

With publicity resources and hype, the valuation of Chen Jing's Jade Buddha has nearly doubled.

This is the charm of publicity and hype, especially the latter. As long as it is done properly, the value increase it can bring to anything with value is extremely exaggerated, especially in this world where even people can hype era.

Antiques can also be speculated.

"Okay, you go and have a rest first. In addition, I'll ask someone to prepare a contract for me to promote this jade Buddha." Shen Jing didn't say any more and instead gave instructions.

The appraiser responded, got up and went out.

"Xiao Jing, thank you. I will prepare delicious food for you another day. I will cook whatever you want." After Kong Xue saw the appraiser go out, she thanked her seriously again.

From the appraiser's words just now, she also heard that if the eldest boy's Jade Buddha was not Shen Jing, it would be difficult to get publicity.

There were no outsiders at this moment, and Shen Jing returned to her normal appearance, smiling and saying: "Then this is what you said. When this busy period is over, I will order a large table of dishes, and you must cook them all." I eat."

Kong Xue said with a bright smile: "Well, I'll do it all for you."

Shen Jing added: "Actually, if it's the usual spring or autumn auction, with the value of Xiao Chen's jade Buddha, the first promotion is certain. I can even try to promote a special promotion, but this time it's At the 10th anniversary auction, the overall quality of the lots was particularly high.”

After a pause, Shen Jing remembered something, and then said: "I heard that the calligraphy and painting department seems to have received a national treasure-level painting. It is the highlight of this auction."

National treasure level?

Chen Jing also became interested when he heard this and asked: "Is it a painting by that famous artist?"

"I didn't ask in detail about this. I'm really busy these days, but when the promotion starts, Xiao Chen, you'll know if you pay attention."

The three chatted casually for a few words, mostly Shen Jing talking about the auction. For example, in addition to the very high quality of the auction items, a batch of warm-up items were also collected. The quality was neither high nor low, but they were all Quite interesting.

Soon after, the contract was brought over, and Shen Jing handed it to Kong Xue first.

Kong Xue smiled, took it and looked at it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, the two parties signed the contract.

After finishing the work here, Shen Jing still had a lot of things on her hands, but they agreed to have dinner together at noon, so Chen Jing and Kong Xue were waiting for her to get off work.

Chen Jing had expected this situation a long time ago. He came with some appraisal books and started reading them in the reception room.

It was not until nearly one o'clock that Shen Jing finished her morning work, changed into casual clothes, happily took Kong Xue on her arm, and the three of them went to a nearby hotel for dinner together.
