After discussing the relevant details with Cai Weilan, He Qing went to do other things. He had to prepare well and be in the best condition to welcome the appraisal conference the day after tomorrow.
The next morning, Cai Weilan's newspaper was sent out, and He Qing also picked up a copy and read it. It was clear that there was an advertisement for the appraisal meeting next to the headlines on the front page. Everything was written in great detail.
After seeing the news in the newspaper, He Qing smiled with satisfaction. Afterwards, he called to express his thanks. Not only did he thank Cai Weilan, but he also expressed his gratitude to President Yang. They just said it was nothing and this was what they should do.
Now that the advertisement has been put out, He Qing breathed a long sigh of relief. After that, he and Lin Haitao went outside to print a brochure. The advertisement to be printed in the brochure was naturally related to the enamel porcelain that Teacher Fu was selling.
Yes.
This matter was easy to handle. It didn't take long for He Qing and the others to print out a sufficient amount of advertising flyers. Then the two of them returned to the hotel. Now everything was ready and all they needed was the east wind.
"Master, Mr. Deng, we will take pictures of this porcelain at Rongbaozhai the day after tomorrow."
In the hotel room, He Qing said solemnly: "I don't know how high the price this piece of porcelain will eventually fetch, but among the few pieces of enamel-colored porcelain left by Teacher Fu, this one is the one I'm most optimistic about.
!”
At this moment, I saw a colorful and exquisite porcelain vase placed on the table next to me, looking extremely dazzling.
"There is a saying in the auction house that 'if the enamel color appears, the price will be sky-high', which means that any enamel-colored porcelain can be auctioned for a good price, and it is common for it to sell for a sky-high price." Just listen to Zheng
The old man replied, "I have also seen some enamel-colored porcelains, and they often cost several million. Tens of millions, and even over 100 million are occasionally heard of. This large enamel-colored vase of yours is indeed a masterpiece made by the emperor during the Qianlong period.
, the shape is correct and the colors are bright, simply beautiful!”
"Yes!" Mr. Deng, who was standing aside, also exclaimed, "This bottle is a large piece of enamel-colored porcelain, and it is even more valuable!"
"Then how much do you think this piece of porcelain is worth?" He Qing asked, "going with the flow."
Mr. Zheng shook his head and said: "Xiao He, it's hard to say. After all, the price of antiques is difficult to determine, let alone those that are about to be put on the auction block. But it is estimated that it will not be low."
"Definitely not low!" Mr. Deng said hurriedly, "I only know that a piece of enamel-colored porcelain was sold by a Hong Kong auction company for a sky-high price of 120 million. At that time, it broke the auction of Qing Dynasty art.
Record! I think the shape of this one is similar to that one of yours, and the color matching and decorative style are also relatively close, so I estimate that the final transaction price will not be less than 120 million, but will be higher."
"There is hope that it will sell for more than 100 million?!" Hearing what Mr. Deng said, He Qing felt an inexplicable surprise in his heart. If he could get this price this time, he would be satisfied.
"Well, it's very promising!" Mr. Deng nodded solemnly. "But time is a little short now, so I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve the best results."
He Qing nodded and said: "I know this. But there is no other way. This is the best way."
Mr. Zheng said: "I think Xiaohe's approach is very good. It will definitely not be worse than sending it to an auction company. I believe there will be many collectors coming to our appraisal meeting tomorrow, and many of them like to collect enamels."
A big collector of colored porcelain. After all, there are not many enamel colored porcelains with such openness on the market now. It is difficult to see one or two genuine pieces at international art auctions, even a small one.
A porcelain bowl, let alone a heavy vessel like a large vase!”
"That's true." Mr. Deng said with a smile, "Xiao He has gained both fame and fortune this time he came to Beijing. Not only did he repeatedly make mistakes, but he also won the admiration and admiration of many masters. From this,
It is conceivable that many people will come here to ask you for appraisal at tomorrow's appraisal meeting, and they will naturally feel more at ease with the collection you recommend."
He Qing said quickly: "Tomorrow I will mainly rely on your help. No matter how powerful I am, I can't serve so many people."
After negotiating with Mr. Zheng and the others, He Qing and Lin Haitao secretly sent the enamel porcelain to another hotel. This hotel was also a five-star hotel, but it was different from the hotel they were staying in.
The distance is quite far. Although He Qing came forward to appraise antiques for everyone, he did not want to make his current address public, lest many people would pester him later and make him uneasy.
After that, He Qing called the master chefs who had made appointments one by one. At around eight o'clock in the evening, everyone came up.
He Qing invited them to a large reserved box, and everyone sat down to discuss the specific matters for the appraisal meeting tomorrow.
Those experts all followed He Qing's lead. They had no objections to He Qing's requests and suggestions and obeyed his arrangements.
He Qing was very pleased with this. With so many experienced experts on hand, he didn't have to worry about chaos in tomorrow's treasure appraisal conference.
In fact, they had decorated the venue that night and brought a safe with a combination lock, which was naturally a glass cabinet used to display the enamel porcelain.
After everything was done, He Qing was so busy that he felt dizzy. As soon as he stopped, he went to bed to rest so as not to lose energy tomorrow.
In fact, when he dreamed that night, he also dreamed that he had become a little Taoist boy, learning the method of cultivation from the mysterious old Taoist priest.
This has been the case every night in the past few days. He rarely dreamed before, but now his dreams are so vivid, and he has the same dream over and over again. Every scene in the dream is extremely wonderful.
.
Fortunately, after "one night of practice", He Qing felt energetic when he got up the next day, and his whole body was full of strength, and he no longer felt tired when he did anything.
After getting up and having breakfast with all the experts and friends, He Qing and Lin Haitao got busy again. They set up the appraisal table, put the enamel-colored porcelain into the exhibition cabinet, and pulled up the prepared enamel porcelain at the hotel door.
The banner, I saw the words "Beijing Appraisal Exchange Conference" written on it, which is particularly eye-catching.
"Mr. He"
After pulling up the banner, He Qing and the others were preparing to go upstairs when suddenly they heard a clear and loud greeting from the right front.
The voice was relatively familiar, and He Qing recognized it immediately. The person calling him was none other than Cai Weilan, the editor-in-chief of the "Kingto Culture News" who had helped him a lot yesterday.
"Miss Cai, are you here too?!"
After seeing Cai Weilan, He Qing couldn't help being surprised. He knew the other party would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. It was only about six o'clock, and the other party rushed over in a hurry. It's not difficult to imagine how much she values today.
The appraisal meeting was held.
"Yes!" Cai Weilan strode up to greet you with a sweet smile, and said seriously, "You also know that besides coming to cheer you up, I am also a reporter, so of course I want to come early to get a seat, okay.
Got the first-hand news!”
"Haha, welcome!" He Qing said with a smile, "Then let's go in first."
So he enthusiastically invited Cai Weilan to the big box on the third floor. Now the box has vacated a huge space. It is an exhibition hall, but it is a little different from ordinary exhibitions. There is only one thing on display in this exhibition.
It is a collection, but this collection is extraordinary. It is a large enamel vase used by the Qing court that may be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars.
Not long after, in addition to Lin Haitao and others who were welcoming the guests, He Qing and the other experts all took their places. Mr. Zheng was the master, so of course he had to sit in the chief position, and He Qing sat next to him, which was also a very conspicuous position.
He Qing's idea is very simple. Even if he can't recognize the things brought by the collectors who came to them today to appraise the antiques, or they are not sure, they will naturally be in the hands of Mr. Zheng. He doesn't believe that they have so many top experts.
Now, there are still antiques that cannot be grasped.
Not long after they were ready, people came to their door one after another with antiques. When they saw people coming, He Qing and the others were very enthusiastic about appraisals and discussed problems together. As the saying goes, "There is strength in numbers".
Basically, everything is confirmed as soon as it passes through their hands, and the quality of the item is clear at a glance.
In fact, He Qing can basically tell at a glance whether something is genuine or fake, because his eyes can see the ancient spiritual aura emanating from the antique. If it is old enough, it will generally emit a clearer red light, and if it does not emit a clear red light,
If there is even the slightest bit of red light, you can tell that it is not old and is not an antique.
Lin Haitao will distribute a leaflet to every collector who comes for appraisal according to He Qing's instructions, so as to advertise the auction house to be held at "Rongbaozhai" tomorrow.
Gradually, more and more people came to appraise the treasures, and the atmosphere in the treasure appraisal hall gradually heated up. Around eight o'clock, the number of visitors reached a small climax. In addition to collectors with questions, there were also
He made many friends in the media, and many reporters took photos and recorded videos of He Qing and others. He Qing did not stop him. At this point, he probably no longer wanted to appear in the media.
Anyway, he was doing charity and not doing anything shameful, so he didn't have any worries at all.
The things everyone sent for appraisal were actually just ordinary objects, which Mr. Zheng and others could easily see, so it was not challenging at all for them.
From the antiques that were appraised, He Qing did not see a very strong "precious light". Most of them only had a faint chaotic red light. Seeing that his eye powers have never been used once, there are some.
Mr. Zheng and the others helped him, but he had no need at all.
But at about ten o'clock, as a pair of people entered, the treasure appraisal hall suddenly lit up, and a purple-red light could be seen rising in the air, illuminating the entire hall.
When he caught a glimpse of that wonderful scene, He Qing's spirit was greatly boosted.
He holds this treasure appraisal meeting, in addition to appraising antiques for everyone, and also advertising Teacher Fu's enamel. He naturally has other purposes, such as increasing his knowledge, so of course he hopes to see some good treasures at the scene today.

The sudden appearance of that strong "treasure light" gave me a sense of hope...
