Mr. Liu, who had a conflict with Zhou Zhi, also came. The female companion beside him was no longer Lu Siyi, but was replaced by Minnie, who was deliberately dressed up and proud. When he entered the venue, he also attracted the flashlights of many reporters.

"Did you see that? What did I say?" Li Lehai touched Zhou Zhi lightly and motioned for him to look at the door: "Lu Siyi is out of luck."

"So this Minnie has a role?" Zhou Zhi glanced over there: "She looks like a magpie."

"Let's take advantage of each other. No one will lose anyway, right?" Li Lehai twitched the corner of his mouth: "If you want to play like this, I will arrange it."

"No," Zhou Zhi said in a low voice, "I heard that Hong Kong's literary and entertainment market is in a bad state. What you do is just arranging and arranging things for me to see."

"Let's take the big blue and white jar and let's see how much foundation you have left." Li Lehai smiled and gloated: "Just let Wan Qiu read out the identification words, and then I won't be able to add more tricks..."

"Yes, there are many Buddhists here..." Zhou Zhi regretted a little. He should not have written the relationship between the Xuande Kui Dragon Pattern and the Buddhist Capricorn Fish so clearly. This thing might even cause competition.

"If it doesn't work, just forget it. The blue and white flowers of Xuande and Ming dynasties are not that great."

At this time, Mr. Liu's eyes seemed to have glanced over here, and then he saw Li Lehai and Zhou Zhi behind Li Qiyan. He quickly nodded to Li Lehai as a greeting, and looked away again.

At this moment, Mr. Liu's heart was full of regret. Li Qiyan had been in the limelight these past two days and was almost recognized as a collaborator or even an agent by some forces.

As one of the powerful families on the island, Mr. Liu certainly knows that donations of paintings and calligraphy, charity performances, scientific and technological cooperation, and friendly talks are all just pretenses.

Others agree that you will organize a charity performance, are willing to accept your donation of paintings and calligraphy, ask you to contact technology cooperation, issue an invitation, and name you to go to the capital for talks on behalf of Hong Kong Island, listen to the local opinions you convey, and then ask you to come back to convey the spirit of the instructions. This

Only by getting recognition is the core of the problem.

Obviously, tonight's banquet is nominally a warm-up event for the auction organized by Lin Wanqiu Studio. In fact, everyone knows that this is actually an announcement that the Li family is standing at a new starting point and is ready to ride on the wind.

Unless you immigrate offshore, it will be difficult to avoid the Li family when working in Hong Kong Island in the future.

Originally, I had always maintained a good relationship with the second son of the Li family, but now Ah Can seems to be standing between them. It is obvious that the Li family still attaches great importance to this person.

What Mr. Liu regrets is that he originally got the opportunity in advance, but because of a water dispenser, he not only missed the opportunity, but also offended others.

If I had known this earlier, TVB would not have arranged the script of the water room scene like that two days ago...

Who is this kid? It is still a mystery until now.

What can be found so far is that this person is named Zhou Zhi. He published a set of well-received cookbooks at a young age, and was hired by Lin Wanqiu as a partner and appraisal consultant of a mainland auction company.

Yesterday at the University of Hong Kong, he and the boss of the Li family did some experiment to prove the feasibility of information engineering, and was praised as a genius by the boss of the Li family.

That's all.

But if that's all it is, is that kid now qualified to sit behind Li Qiyan and the mainland representatives, and also side by side with the second oldest member of the Li family?

At that table, there were all important people who were either rich or noble, and they had to be people like Li Laoer to be able to sit at the table.

Thinking of this and feeling the extremely excited woman holding him, Mr. Liu couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He walked into the venue in a few steps, and then gritted his teeth and whispered to Minnie who came up with a surprised look on her face: "Please be quiet.

, Today’s place is not suitable for being high-profile.”

The next morning, the auction officially began.

In addition to the wealthy people present at this auction, there were also a number of telephone agents.

Lin Wanqiu's clothes were much more open than those in the mainland. She wore a purple cheongsam that accentuated her curvy figure. On her neck and earlobes was a set of imperial green jade jewelry.

It is said that the string of beads around her neck was made from a string of jade beads from the Qing Dynasty, which are valuable. The jewelry and exquisite makeup made the female host even more graceful.

The soft voice was transmitted to every corner of the auction hall through the microphone. This girl was able to switch freely in Cantonese, Mandarin, English, French and Spanish while talking and laughing, which also amazed Zhou Zhi.

And Zhou Zhi noticed a characteristic, that is, when she reported the latest auction price, she only used English that everyone could understand.

When communicating, we talked and laughed happily, but when making quotations, we were not verbose at all, creating a full sense of anxiety.

The collection of this auction is very rich. Except for one piece by Li Qiyan and one piece by Lin Wanqiu, the rest is a special topic called "Fucheng Hang Treasures Auction".

The person who provides a large number of auction items is named Huang Yinghao. He has a store in Moro Street, where antique shops are concentrated on Hong Kong Island, called Fook Shing Hong, which belongs to the middle- and upper-class antique shops on Hong Kong Island.

Huang Yinghao had immigrated to Canada the year before last, and the antique shop was left to his apprentice Qu Jianming. This year Qu Jianming was able to start his apprenticeship, and he set up his own antique store Yongbaozhai, and he couldn't stand his master's store.

But he didn't have the strength to acquire his master's store, so Huang Yinghao found Lin Wanqiu's mother and wanted his niece to help him get a good price for his items.

There is a time-honored Wenwan shop on Hong Kong Island, and they are all familiar with each other. Huang Yinghao's products are not yet top-notch, so Lin Wanqiu's mother did her best to be a good person and took out the Ming Dynasty Xuande blue and white Kuilong jar to make a press.

As a result, Li Qiyan also wanted to auction the "Da Ni Jing" to divert the pressure from players competing for the "Chunhua Pavilion", which attracted many collectors.

I heard from Li Lehai that many of Master Huang's things were collected from old kilns. The so-called "old kilns" in Hong Kong Island Art Gallery refer to the houses of old collectors in Hong Kong, Macao and New Zealand.

In addition, there are a lot of "exporters" and "exporters", which Master Huang collected from various countries in Arabia, the Mediterranean, and Europe.

It is said that sometimes it is quite risky, and several times I almost lost my life.

Zhou Zhi sat in the front row, silently watching the auction items being photographed by the big guys, but never taking any action.

In his opinion, the price of these items is still too high. The price of items of the same quality in mainland cultural relics stores can even be five times cheaper than here.

Therefore, unless it is a really cheap and rare art object, or it happens to fall into his collection category, he will only be interested in paying a few hands for it.

Because there were quite a lot of items and they were not items on the important list, Lin Wanqiu briefly introduced them and then made a quick decision. Therefore, Zhou Zhi's several attempts to raise his hand to bid had no effect at all. After hesitating for a moment, he was overtaken by others, so he raised his hand.

A lively one.

Until something appeared, Zhou Zhi's expression finally became focused.

"An antique small jade statue pendant of a god from the Ming Dynasty. The material is Hetian jade. The craftsmanship is simple, the color is ancient, and the patina is thick and contemporary. It is four centimeters high and 1.5 centimeters wide. The starting price is 2,000 Hong Kong dollars."
