Chapter 44 Auction Storm
After a few days of getting along, Lin Ying saw that Zhou Yu was definitely an out-and-out dick, or the kind of dick who could be seen as a "good guy".

But today's Zhou Yu suddenly gave him a different feeling, which made her believe that maybe Zhou Yu was really the Zhou Yu who would rather be broken than broken.

"Okay! It's a word."

The corner of Xu Xianyang's mouth twitched into a playful smile, and he even personally invited Yu Chen, the treasure appraiser who was on duty at the Sotheby's auction today.

Yu Chen doesn't look amazing on the outside, she is an ordinary old woman wearing a loose plaid sweater, she has nothing to do with a bookish look, when she walked in, she sat calmly in the reception room, without any words or actions, already He became the focal figure in the entire reception room.

"Master Yu, this kid is the appraiser that Miss Su specially greeted today."

Xu Xianyang specially called Yu Chen and smiled happily, "However, this person can't even explain the basic value theory. I think this kind of person must not stay in Sotheby's, let alone become a Sotheby's." appraiser!"

"In order to convince him, I decided to educate this kid myself!"

Xu Xianyang said the same thing to the face, but behind the scenes he said something grandiose in front of Yu Chen, and even belittled Zhou Yu to nothing.

Yu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if seeing through everything, he looked at Zhou Yu, looked at him for a few times and then smiled: "Xiao Zhou, I'm sorry, Miss Su specially greeted me , It’s just that I was in a hurry just now and didn’t have time to receive you in person.”

Xu Xianyang's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he turned around and gave Zhou Yu a vicious look.

Zhou Yu just grinned and said: "Hehe, it's okay, Mr. Yu, in fact, we just made a bet just now to see whose appraisal is better. Since you have come here, you should come up with the questions, and you must be there." If you personally uphold justice, some people will definitely be convinced."

Yu Chen was obviously taken aback, she wanted to help Zhou Yu out of the siege, but she didn't expect that Zhou Yu didn't intend to directly expose the turmoil.

Moreover, Yu Chen's impression of Zhou Yu was far better than Xu Xianyang's after just meeting him once.

In fact, Xu Xianyang is still her assistant, and the two have been teachers and friends since they worked together for a long time, but Xu Xianyang has always called her "Master Yu". Xu Xianyang always called her that when the two worked together every day.

However, when Zhou Yu, a young man, met her for the first time, he should be polite and compliment her, but instead he called "Teacher Yu". This teacher Yu not only brought the relationship between people closer, but also seemed neither humble nor overbearing.

Yu Chen smiled and nodded, and asked the staff to bring three antiques covered with red cloth.

The first piece of red cloth was lifted, and there was a Jade Buddha inside.

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Zhou is a guest, so the identification of this first antique should be done first, you have no objection!"

Xu Xianyang nodded arrogantly, and looked at Zhou Yu with a sneer. He concluded that Zhou Yu must have no real talent and learning, otherwise how could he not be able to answer some basic questions?
Zhou Yu just nodded with a smile, then glanced at the Jade Buddha lightly, and the system in his mind had already given a perfect answer.

"The works in the late Ming Dynasty were hand-carved by folk craftsmen. The quality of jade is average, and the artistic value is average..."

The sneer at the corner of Xu Xianyang's mouth became more and more smug when he heard Zhou Yu say two things in succession. This is a genuine antique, yet Zhou Yu actually said that it is of average value!
It's simply grandstanding!

"The estimate is about... 450 million..."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Yu Chen took off the white paper on the price tag with his own hands. When they saw the price on the price tag, everyone was shocked!

450 million!
Not much, not much!
Not to mention Xu Xianyang, even Yu Chen had the feeling that Zhou Yu was cheating!

You must know that the price on the price tag is absolutely accurate. It is the result of several appraisal masters, passing the international currency value standard, and the result of computer-aided calibration!
Even a professional appraiser cannot estimate such an accurate price. If the error does not exceed 5.00%, it is already a qualified appraiser. If it does not exceed [-]%, it is a top appraiser!
"I guarantee with my personality that no one told Xiao Zhou the price of this Ming Dynasty White Jade Buddha beforehand! This is definitely Xiao Zhou's own evaluation!"

After being shocked, Yu Chen nodded repeatedly and spoke.

Xu Xianyang on the side took a few deep breaths before calming down the shock in his heart. Cold sweat rolled down his forehead. Even he would never be able to tell such an accurate price!

When the second antique appeared, it was a blue and white porcelain.

Xu Xianyang heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Although blue-and-white porcelain was divided into categories and had many varieties, he had been intensively studying this direction before. Yu Chen's main attack was also in the direction of blue-and-white porcelain. Therefore, he took a deep breath before starting to appraise it.

"Authentic official kiln blue and white, with clear lines and bright glaze color, except for the slight flaw of porcelain falling off the bottle mouth, it is absolutely top-notch!"

After Xu Xianyang said these words, he paused. If the porcelain on the bottle mouth was not broken, he could easily estimate the price more accurately. However, if the antique is damaged, it must be devalued according to the damage level. This is an extremely complicated process.

After finally contemplating, Xu Xianyang nodded firmly, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Estimated price, 300 million!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Yude sneered from beside him.

Yu Chen immediately looked at Zhou Yu curiously, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, come and evaluate the value of this porcelain."

"If there is no damage, the value of authentic official kiln blue and white is about ten million. Now, in view of a slight damage, the official kiln is still an official kiln, the main body is intact, and the pattern is complete. Even if the market value depreciates seriously, its artistic value It is still there, so its price should fluctuate around 400 million, and if it is auctioned, it can still easily break through [-] million."

Amazement flashed across Yu Chen's eyes, he never expected Zhou Yujing to have such insight, and hit it off with her instantly!
Thinking of Zhou Yu's accurate estimation of the price of the Jade Buddha just now, it seems understandable.

Sure enough, when the white note on the price tag was lifted, everyone saw the price on the white note—"20!"

When he saw this string of numbers, Xu Xianyang's complexion was already pale, and his whole body was not well!
Zhou Yu just nodded cheerfully, looked at Xu Xianyang with a smile, and said, "Should you admit defeat now?"

"No! I'm not convinced!"

Xu Xianyang gritted his teeth, glared at Zhou Yu with resentment, and said angrily, "It's not over yet! There is one more antique that hasn't been revealed yet!"

Yu Chen frowned slightly, a little displeased with Xu Xianyang's behavior that he couldn't afford to lose, but now that Zhou Yu and Xu Xianyang's appraisal ability is obvious, she will naturally not be so pedantic that she will lose a genius appraiser like Zhou Yu because of a certificate, even if Expelling Xu Xianyang would not hesitate!

However, she still directly opened the third piece of red cloth, wanting to convince Xu Xianyang.

Inside the third piece of red cloth was a square object made of stone.

The surface of the stone tool is seriously damaged, but it can be seen at a glance that it is old.

Xu Xianyang looked at the stone tool in front of him in shock, and was a little speechless. He couldn't even clearly judge the age of this antique.

However, Zhou Yu's eyes flickered, and the system notification sounded again in his mind.

"Ding, during the Three Kingdoms period, the eight-faced exquisite lock was made by Zhuge himself. It was seriously damaged and valuable. It is easy to collect."

"Mr. Yu, will this exquisite lock be sold at Sotheby's auction?"

Zhou Yu looked at Yu Chen with burning eyes, and asked.

"Hehe, boy, I'm afraid you can't identify this stone tool and start bluffing now!"

Xu Xianyang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that Zhou Yu didn't look like a rich man with ordinary clothes, and now he even began to wonder if Zhou Yu was Lin Ying's little boy!

"Master Yu, to be honest, I also want to buy this stone tool, I think it is very valuable!"

After Xu Xianyang finished speaking, he looked at Yu Chen with a sneer, and pretended to say so.

He can't compare to other things, but compared to showing off, he still won't lose to Zhou Yu, especially in front of beauties!

You must know that a treasure appraiser has a high salary. Even if he is only an assistant now, such a young treasure appraiser assistant is extremely rare. In addition to his education and ability, Sotheby's auctions have always paid him ordinary treasure appraisers. The full income of the teacher can be 10,000+ a month!
Yu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then looked playfully at Xu Xianyang, then at Zhou Yu, and said with a smile, "To be honest, this stone artifact has been buried in my Sotheby's auction for a long time, because it was seriously damaged and there was no way to find it." We were worried about the poor results of the auction, so we have not held a public auction.”

"However, since the two of you are interested, please invite the two of you to conduct an auction here!"

As Yu Chen said, he lifted the price tag in front of the stone tool. It really wasn't a price, but a starting price. This starting price was the comprehensive evaluation price of Sotheby's auction - 50.

"Xian Yang, you are an internal employee after all, this time you should quote first!"

Yu Chen looked at Xu Xianyang and said.

Xu Xianyang finally felt that he had regained his confidence. He nodded with a smile, thought for a while, and said, "Since the starting price is 50, I'll make a bid. 100 million!"

In fact, his heart is bleeding. He has only graduated and worked for three years, and he lives extravagantly on weekdays. Now his deposit is less than 200 million!
However, this was the first time he had seen such a top-quality beauty as Lin Ying, so he decided to give it a go, so he doubled the price at once, bidding a high price of 100 million!After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yu like a demonstration, and blinked at Lin Ying who was beside Zhou Yu.

Yu Chen had a panoramic view of everything, smiled without saying a word, and looked at Zhou Yu on the side.

"100?"

Zhou Yu shook his head with a sneer, and said, "I will offer 1000 million yuan to buy this stone tool."
