Located on the widest miscellaneous street of Qingniuguan Antique Market in Dongjiang, it is a three-story antique shop with raised eaves and corners.
It is said that this house was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It looks like a mortise and tenon structure on the outside, but it is actually made of bluestone as the foundation, and then built with green bricks and lime glutinous rice juice. These building materials are matched together and are completely unnecessary.
Worry about the troubles caused by time.
Just two words: solid.
A huge plaque hangs above the main entrance, with gold characters on a black background and iron paintings and silver hooks.
The store covers a total area of 2,000 square meters and mainly sells calligraphy, painting, porcelain and jade.
Furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties and Xuan stoves are also among the signatures.
I must have received a call from the bosses of the collection associations on both sides. Xuande Building is not open today.
A wooden sign saying "Closed for Half Day" was hung at the front door of the store.
Among the big guys, Mr. Yu walked in front with a cane. He glanced at the wooden sign and said, "Qingniu Temple will hold a seven-day temple fair starting today. There are many tourists from all over the world. Although Xuande Tower is only closed for half a day, Old Shen
The loss is not small! It is estimated to be in the millions."
Mr. Qin was supporting Mr. Yu from behind, and smiled faintly when he heard this, "Old Shen has always wanted to sit as the vice president of the Dongjiang Collection Association these years, but he has never been able to get his wish. This time he can be regarded as doing something for the association.
With one effort, the position of vice president should be gone next time."
After saying that, a couple walked in slowly.
After a while of humility, all the bosses entered the Xuande Building in order of age and status.
Among the crowd, only Shen Yu and Zhang Qiyun were still outside the store.
There was no other way, since they were both young, they naturally came last.
Looking at each other, Shen Yu made an invitation gesture towards Zhang Qiyun, "Brother Zhang, please go first!"
Zhang Qiyun subconsciously wanted to take a step, but he was not stupid. He came to his senses in just two or three seconds.
Okay, what time is it now?
It's under the noses of the big guys.
Not only are the big bosses from the two collection associations of Dongjiang and Binhai, but also all the big bosses from the antique circles in nearby provinces and cities, they naturally do what they can and give in when they can.
Apart from anything else, impression points must not be lost.
Assuming that the final value of the antiques chosen by the two is about the same, it will be these big guys who will ultimately judge the winner.
The more important people are, the less they like arrogant and domineering young people. Thinking of this, Zhang Qiyun immediately smiled back at Shen Yu, "Brother Shen, what are you talking about? Although I am a few years older than you, you are a landlord in Dongjiang. How can I
Is there any reason to overshadow the guest? It’s better for you to invite me first!”
After exchanging polite words, the two finally walked in side by side.
As soon as he entered the door, Shen Yu's first impression was that it was quiet, so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
The second is that it is spacious.
The entire first-floor shop is 800 square meters, divided into areas of different sizes, such as calligraphy and painting area, porcelain area, jade area, miscellaneous area, bronze area, etc.
But in terms of area, Xuande Building has surpassed Hanlin Pavilion and Bogutang among the three famous antique stores in Chuzhou. Only Dong Lao's Wanbao Building can rival it.
The most eye-catching thing is a simple three-legged copper stove in the middle of the hall, protected by a beautiful glass cover.
The copper furnace is extremely large, nearly two meters high. It is obvious that this is a replica made to match the name of the Xuande furnace.
The clerks all went to the back hall. In the lobby on the first floor, there was only a tall, thin old man with gray hair, sparse features, and seventy-year-old standing behind the counter.
Shen Yu knew this old man as the owner and shopkeeper of Xuande Building: Shen Xiyue.
However, Shen Yu only had a few encounters with him. Although they both had the surname Shen, Shen Yu was from the Shen family in Chuzhou, while Shen Xiyue was from the Shen family in Dongjiang.
The Chuzhou Shen family and the Dongjiang Shen family both come from the Jiangzhou Shen family. If you insist on being related, you can still call yourself a family member. However, the Chuzhou Shen family has moved to Chuzhou since the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It has been six to seven hundred years. That happened before.
Moreover, the antique circle in Jiangnan Province is really huge, so Shen Yu is not very familiar with boss Shen Xi, Yue Shen.
Shen Yu originally thought that Shen Xiyue would exchange a few words with the many bigwigs in these antique circles, but unexpectedly, he hugged everyone, turned around and went to the back hall without saying a word.
Not only did he not speak, he didn't even wink or cough.
avoid arousing suspicion!
Obviously trying to avoid suspicion!
After all, Shen Xiyue is from the Dongjiang Collection Association.
Yu Laojiang called the two of them to his side, "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Shen, since we are competing for eyesight, we will naturally give you enough time for appraisal.
"It would be unfair if I only give you a few minutes or ten minutes! Using such a short time to search for treasures among thousands of antiques is not a test of your eyesight, but a test of your luck."
Shen Yu and Zhang Qiyun nodded lightly but did not speak.
Mr. Yu continued: "So we old men discussed it and decided to give you two a full hour to appraise the treasure!
"With your two superb eyesight, no matter how many antiques there are in Xuande Building, this time is almost enough!"
After saying that, Yu Lao looked at the two of them, hoping to see something in their eyes.
But the expressions of Shen Yu and Zhang Qiyun made Yu Lao secretly nod his head. Both of them looked calm, without any panic or surprise, as if they had known about it for a long time.
Shen Yu's guess was indeed quite right.
As Mr. Yu said, it takes time to compete in eyesight, so Shen Yu guessed that the treasure appraisal time for this stage would not be less than an hour.
"Okay, you can start identifying treasures now!"
After saying that, Mr. Yu and many other big guys walked directly towards the backyard of Xuande Building.
In just two or three minutes, Shen Yu and Zhang Qiyun were the only two people left in the entire first-floor hall of Xuande Building.
The two of them looked at me, and I looked at you, with a little surprise on their faces.
Okay, let's go now?
Unexpected, absolutely unexpected!
Shen Yu originally thought that these big guys would be watching the performance of the two of them, but he actually stepped out of the way directly.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiyun gave Shen Yu a haha, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, as members of each other's collection associations, it is our duty to contribute to the association. This is nothing more." Said.
"But one thing is, this is a business matter. No matter which one of us wins this game, I hope there will be no grudges in my heart. Privately, I really hope to become a good friend with you."
Shen Yu didn't know what kind of medicine Zhang Qiyun was selling in his gourd, but it was impossible for each other to become friends, and no one would believe it.
But now the big bosses must be staring at the two of them on a monitor somewhere in the backyard. Shen Yu will not lose his grace. He nodded gently, "This is natural. Shen Yu has always admired Brother Zhang's character. Yes, if you have time in the evening, why don't we find a place to sit down and have a drink?"
Zhang Qiyun is very wise. He also knows that there are countless cameras on his head, and he is very good at showing off. "Okay, it's a deal!"
“It’s a deal!”
Shen Yu reached out his hand, and the two shook it gently.
At the moment they let go, the two looked at each other again, and what they saw was the bone-chilling light in the depths of each other's eyes.
