Chapter 70 New Interpretation

In the following time, Zhou Xia and Xu Yaohui also discussed this porcelain more in-depth and exchanged their experiences in appraisal. Overall, Zhou Xia would benefit more. Xu Yaohui had decades of experience than him, and did much better than him in many details.

Zhou Xia was also reflecting and summarizing himself. If it weren't for the help of this archaeological identification system, he wouldn't know the origin of this incident. The same imitation of Qianlong's enamel flower pattern bottle in front of him, he would have thought it was 100% true.

The two communicated very well, and the two of them had already joined hands to buy Xuande blue and white plum vases, so their relationship became closer and closer.

Xu Yaohui also asked Zhou Xia to ask if there was anything to take action, just look for him.

Zhou Xia nodded and agreed. With Xu Yaohui's help, he would not have to find a buyer by himself, which would greatly save his own time.

Xu Yaohui also asked him if there was anything wrong during the day and whether he would go around together.

Zhou Xia wanyan refused. He had not finished reading the several books he borrowed from the library. He also asked Liu Yuqing to find the auction catalog, which should be available soon. At that time, just studying the auction catalog will be enough for him to work for a long time, and he really can't get too much time.

However, he also promised Xu Yaohui that if he wanted to see something good, he would call him so that he could learn more.

Xu Yaohui did not agree with it. After the incident of imitating Qianlong enamel in the Republic of China and the Xuande blue and white plum vase, he became more cautious. Otherwise, there would not have been the case of bringing Xuande blue and white for everyone to be identified as last time.

After the two of them communicated, it was dawn, so Xu Yaohui invited Zhou Xia to have breakfast. Zhou Xia did not refuse. Anyway, a breakfast would not cost much, and it could deepen their relationship. Why not do it?

While having breakfast, the two of them exchanged their views on various collections. Then, Zhou Xia said goodbye first, and Xu Yaohui did not try to keep him.

Zhou Xia first went to a nearby park, found a chair and sat down to read the book, and planned to go to the real estate agency to check out and rent a nearby room. The place he lived in was a bit remote, and it was inconvenient to go to the ghost market or the company, and it was extremely unsafe. At this moment, he no longer had to share the rent with others before, and he could have a place to settle down for the things he had bought, and he didn't have to bother others in everything.

While he was reading a book, Liu Yuqing called him and said it was the auction catalog he wanted. She had already taken some to the company and asked him when he was free and just went to the company to pick her up.

Zhou Xia said that he would go to get it in the afternoon. He thought it would be better to get the house done first, otherwise, after carrying so many catalogs, wouldn’t he be asking for trouble for himself?

Liu Yuqing naturally had no objection, saying that she would stay in the company all day and it would be okay to go there anytime.

Seeing that the time was almost the same, Zhou Xia set out to see the house. He moved very quickly. He went to the first real estate agency. After seeing the house, he immediately paid the house and settled the house and got the key.

The house he wanted to rent was in Mingzhu Community nearby, with a two-bedroom and one-living elevator room. Although the environment was not beautiful, it had a complete range of furniture. As for the safety aspects he cared about the most, he didn't have to worry about. He needed to swipe his card to enter and exit, and there were security guards patrolling every day. Some of his own things were considered safe to keep.

Zhou Xia then rushed back to the place where he lived before and packed up his things. There were not many things, so he only had three guarantees. He just called a taxi to get it done.

After this busy work, the morning passed, and it was roughly cleaned up. Zhou Xia, who was sweating all over, took a shower, went to a small shop outside to eat a bowl of noodles to fill her stomach, and then went to the company.

The receptionist Yu Xiaoyu saw him appear in the company, welcomed him with a smile, and asked him, "Zhou Xia, why are you willing to come to the company to see us!"

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "I haven't left, but I'll just take a day or two. Everything in the company is still normal!"

Yu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Apart from being busy, everything is the most normal."

Zhou Xia knew that there were quite a lot of preparations before the autumn auction, and it was the most normal for everyone to be busy.

After talking to Yu Xiaoyu for a while, Zhou Xia went straight to find Liu Yuqing.

When I entered, I met Wang Chao and Wang Yanli, who were busy. After seeing Zhou Xia, they both greeted him. Wang Chao also complained, "When Zhou Xia was there, I didn't feel that I had been so busy. We are almost busy these two days when you take vacations."

Wang Yanli nodded, "Yes, Zhou Xia, when you are not here, I feel that we have more than twice as much work as possible."

Zhou Xia laughed and said, "This is a good opportunity for you. You have to seize it well. Don't let others take it first."

Wang Chao knew who he was talking about, and immediately said disdainfully, "Zhang Jie has not been able to complete the shift, although he is so tired that he is like a dead dog. By the way, Zhou Xia, what are you doing in the company today? You won't be here to help us!"

Zhou Xia said, "I have something to do with Manager Liu, so I will come to you later."

Both of them agreed and went to work on their own affairs.

Zhou Xia went outside Liu Yuqing's manager's office and knocked on the door lightly. Liu Yuqing asked him to go in.

The first sentence of the meeting was that Liu Yuqing put down her work and asked him, "Zhou Xia, I heard you have found good things again?"

"I got something when I went to the ghost market in the morning." Zhou Xia felt a little strange, "Where did Manager Liu hear it?"

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "Why don't I know? Grandpa Zhao asked Master Xu and my grandpa to go to his house, saying that he got some good things from you and shared them..."

Zhou Xia didn't know what to say, so she had to shake her head helplessly, "Professor Zhao is really right."

"Hey, Zhou Xia, didn't we agree! If you want to receive something good, your first choice is to consider our auction company?" Liu Yuqing asked him with a smile.

Zhou Xia could only smile bitterly at this, "I would be helpless when I met Professor Zhao. If I hadn't been alert, he would have almost broken the deal. Moreover, I couldn't even protect what he liked, and I would really be sorry to Manager Liu."

Liu Yuqing said, "I'm just kidding, it's no wonder you. We all know Grandpa Zhao's temper. You were also guilty of the company before. It's not surprising that he caused some trouble for you."

Zhou Xia continued, "What's more, what I received in the morning is not suitable for our auction company to conduct auctions, so I didn't communicate with you first. This is also my negligence. Manager Liu should not be accustomed to it."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "Everyone said that they were joking with you! Could it be that the treasure that is not suitable for auction is something that has just been unearthed?"

Zhou Xia replied, "Manager Liu is really smart and can guess it right away. What I got in the morning was indeed a Tang Dynasty item that had just been unearthed. There were four bronze mirrors, engraved with the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Blue Dragon and White Tiger. It is not particularly precious, but it is not common. I have asked Uncle Xu to help find out if there is a chance to take action. As for the two pieces that Professor Zhao took the initiative to ask for help in keeping, they were all Tang Dynasty celadons. One of them was a well-preserved water purification cup. Professor Zhao thought it was a secret color porcelain, so he refused to return it to me when he got it. There was also a celadon bowl that was smashed in half. Professor Zhao said that it was the best research material to use it to repair it."

After hearing what he said, Liu Yuqing understood the general ins and outs of the whole thing. As for what Zhou Xia didn't explain particularly clearly, she could guess it. It was nothing more than that when Zhou Xia was trading with someone, she happened to be hit by Zhao Xiangbo. She was just curious, "It's really strange that Grandpa Zhao failed to mess up your deal on the spot!"

Zhou Xia said with some shame, "The two people who traded with me are not veterans of tomb robbers. They just dug it out by accident and then brought it to the ghost market to an ordinary person who wanted to take action. I was deceived by me for a while and learned about the seriousness of the consequences of selling cultural relics. I was fined several million or been in jail for decades. When Professor Zhao came here, I didn't see it very clearly and could not judge the specific price, so I gave some money and asked them to flash it first. Professor Zhao wanted to check it on the spot, but I refused to let Uncle Xu go, and then when I went to his house, I showed them the things."

Liu Yuqing laughed even happier when she heard this, "Zhou Xia, you really found a good way to deal with Grandpa Zhao. He is more arrogant among the older generation. If you meet someone who is more rogue than him, you will be helpless. By the way, how much money did you give them?"

Zhou Xia replied, "Ten thousand yuan!"

Liu Yuqing said, "You are doing a good job! They are so worried about taking this ten thousand yuan, for fear of getting into lawsuits and troubles. The risks are much greater than the benefits. I believe that if you encounter such a thing in the future, you will not dig them. If you give them more money, such as giving them more than 100,000 or more, or a higher price, they think it is worth taking these risks, and they may take another path."

"Manager Liu is amazing, I didn't think so much at that time." Zhou Xia could only express infinite admiration for this. Liu Yuqing's interpretation was not unreasonable. Many people tasted the sweetness at the beginning, so they dared to take big risks and do the tomb robbery. If they were scared back when they had the idea, the result would naturally be different.

Liu Yuqing analyzed again, "If it is a secret porcelain water purification cup, Grandpa Zhao will keep it for you for the time being. He really looks at you differently, and even brings Master Xu and my grandfather to accompany you for your own good. If such a secret porcelain leaks out of the market, the storm will definitely not be small, and it will be a troublesome thing. You don't have to blame Grandpa Zhao for this matter."

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "How could it be? Grandpa Zhao solved my problems. I thank him for not having enough time!"

Liu Yuqing asked, "It's not that you used any other tricks to make Grandpa Zhao willing to keep it for you!"

Zhou Xia smiled and changed the topic, "How could I have that level? By the way, Manager Liu, is the auction catalog here?"
