Five or six minutes later, in the west hall of Rongbaozhai.
A security door on the side of Rongbaozhai Building suddenly opened from the outside, and two middle-aged and elderly men in their fifties and sixties walked in, each wearing Chinese clothes and looking quite elegant.
After entering the door and taking a glance at the situation in the hall, the two of them immediately put on smiles on their faces and walked quickly towards Ye Tian.
Although they have never met, Ye Tian knows both of them.
One is the manager of Rongbaozhai, and the other is a Chinese painting and calligraphy art appraisal expert who works for Rongbaozhai. They are both famous figures in the field of domestic antique art collection.
Obviously, these two people also know Ye Tian.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere in Rongbaozhai. Through the high-definition surveillance video, they should have determined Ye Tian's identity, otherwise they would not have come together!
Seeing them coming, Ye Tian immediately turned to face these two people and nodded at them.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ye, welcome to Rongbaozhai. I'm glad to see you here. What an honor! I am the manager of Rongbaozhai, my surname is Liu!"
As I approached, the middle-aged and older man who looked slightly younger took the lead in saying hello and introducing himself, very enthusiastically.
Ye Tian stepped forward, shook hands with the other party, and said politely with a smile:
"Good afternoon, Manager Liu, I've known you for a long time! I'm Ye Tian, and you are a senior in the industry. Just call me Xiaoye. It sounds nice to me. I'm sorry to bother you to come here in person!"
"Okay! I really want to be older, so I will call you Xiaoye. This sounds really nice! We are open for business, and the customer is God. Of course, we are always here.
What's more, I can't even invite customers like you! Just now we were discussing whether we should contact you and pay a visit. Who would have thought that Cao Cao would be here? What a coincidence.
Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Liang, a famous domestic calligraphy and painting art appraisal expert. He also has good attainments in porcelain appraisal and metal and stone seal cutting. He currently works for our Rongbaozhai "
Manager Liu said a few polite words and then introduced another middle-aged and elderly man next to him.
"There is no need for an introduction at all, Manager Liu. I am more or less an insider in the antiques industry. How could I not recognize Mr. Liang, who is well-known in the antiques industry? Wouldn't that be too cowardly!"
While complimenting the other party politely, Ye Tian extended his right hand to the elder in front of him, his attitude was very respectful and impeccable.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Liang, I am Ye Tian. Nice to meet you. I am so lucky! You look really good and you must be in great health."
"I'll call you Xiaoye too. The other names don't seem appropriate. Good afternoon, Xiaoye. We've heard of you for a long time! I didn't expect to meet here.
Before we met, this was not the impression your boy gave me. The two idioms of unruly and ruthless are perfectly suitable to describe what you did!
As for the things your kid did in the United States, every one of them makes us old guys tremble! Unexpectedly, after meeting, he would look completely different. It seems that the rumors were wrong! "
Mr. Liang said with a smile, shook hands with Ye Tian, eyes full of admiration.
Both Manager Liu and Mr. Liang were very satisfied with Ye Tian's refreshing performance, and their impression of him had also been greatly improved.
"Are the rumors correct? Mr. Liang, that is a slander against me by the Americans. Don't believe it! I am a law-abiding citizen, how can I be described as unruly and cruel?"
Ye Tian hit the snake and followed it with a stick, and joked with the two people in front of him.
Hearing this, Manager Liu and Mr. Liang couldn’t help rolling their eyes and secretly complained:
"Don't think that we old men don't use the Internet. We have seen all the online videos of your kid roaming the streets of America and killing people. It was just a polite comment, but you took it seriously!"
After getting to know each other and chatting for a few words, everyone got down to business.
Manager Liu once again confirmed with Ye Tian the types and quantities of top-grade branding he planned to purchase, as well as the purpose of purchasing these top-grade rice papers.
For these questions, Ye Tiandu gave very clear answers.
Even though they had heard the clerk say it on the phone, but heard Ye Tian confirm it in person, Manager Liu and Mr. Liang were still shocked by this big deal, and looked at Ye Tian in dumbfounded eyes.
When they heard that Ye Tian bought these top-quality rice papers just to give them to his grandfather for him to practice calligraphy on weekdays, the two of them were so excited that they almost had a heart attack and passed away!
After the shock, the two old men immediately lamented, saying it was too extravagant! What a waste of resources!
Of course, the two of them also had red eyes with envy, wondering why they were not so lucky to be able to enjoy such top-notch treatment.
Especially Mr. Liang, after sighing for a few words, he began to scold his son and grandson, none of which made him worry.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that the two men calmed down.
Immediately afterwards, Manager Liu arranged for several clerks to go to the warehouse to pick up the top-quality rice paper that Ye Tian wanted. He repeatedly emphasized that he must choose the best and bring ten dollars for each type.
Afterwards, he called the warehouse and asked them to cooperate with the work. The arrangements were very thoughtful and enthusiastic!
Ye Tian knows why he enjoys such special treatment.
Of course it’s not because these two old men like me, so they treat them differently! That was just a dream!
Rongbaozhai is a state-owned enterprise. Even if the two old men’s biological sons come, if there is no money in their pockets, these two people will not pay attention to it and will not even look at it.
Manager Liu and Mr. Liang still had a rough idea of how much Ye Tian was worth. They knew that the kid in front of them had money in his pocket, and he had as much money as he wanted.
And this guy is very generous with his purchases. As long as he sees something he likes, he will buy it without any hesitation, and he won't be too fussy about the price!
Who is not selling those top-quality rice papers in stock? Then why not sell it at a high price and sell it to the owner who pays neatly in front of you? That way everyone will be happy!
In addition, they have a more important goal, which is the top antique artworks that Ye Tian brought back from the United States!
There are some antiques and artworks there. Not to mention Rongbaozhai, even the Palace Museum is very greedy after seeing them. I wish I could just take them into my arms and make them my own!
With Rong Baozhai's background and energy, they must have already obtained the list of these antiques and artworks from the airport customs. Seeing the national treasures on the list, they can still sit there!
Compared with that batch of antique works of art, the top-grade rice papers that Ye Tian wants to buy now are not worth mentioning, although they are also very rare and expensive!
If Ye Tian promises to transfer a few pieces of national treasure-level calligraphy and painting at a low price, Rongbaozhai might treat those top-quality rice papers as gifts and give them directly to Ye Tian, which is a rare act of generosity!
As expected!
After the clerks left, Manager Liu and Mr. Liang immediately took Ye Tian to the rest area to sit down, drinking tea while asking for information about the batch of top-notch antiques and artworks.
"Xiaoye, can you tell me about the batch of antique artworks you brought back from the United States? I heard from the boss of the Forbidden City that there are many national treasures there, all of which have been lost overseas for a long time!
We have also heard about how you got these national treasure-level antiques and artworks. Here, I have to say that you did a really beautiful job and it was so refreshing!
It is even more admirable that you can bring these national treasure-level antiques and artworks back to China. For this matter, anyone who is in the field of collecting antiques and artworks in China will give you a thumbs up.
Mr. Liang said excitedly, looking at Ye Tian with eyes full of expectation.
Manager Liu echoed a few words, each sentence full of praise and affirmation.
"You two are ridiculous! I am a Chinese, and that is what I should do. I believe that anyone who loves our country would do the same.
It is difficult for you to encounter such an opportunity in China, but I am in the United States and am a professional treasure hunter. If I encounter such a God-given opportunity, of course I will not miss it.
It is fitting that those foreign collectors and museums were so unlucky that they were crazily robbed by an international art criminal group. I happened to discover this art criminal group, so why are you so polite?
Since you two want to know about those national treasure-level antique artworks, let me introduce them. Among them are Mi Fu's "Dongting Landscape" and two calligraphy works by Song Huizong..."
Ye Tian said a few polite words, and then began to introduce the top antiques and artworks brought back to the country.
Of course, this does not include the treasures he gave as gifts to his family.
With his introduction, Manager Liu and Mr. Liang became more and more excited, their eyes became brighter and brighter, and their eyes almost exploded with shock! The exclamations and admirations never stopped, rising one after another.
It was already five minutes after Ye Tian finished introducing the top antique artworks he brought home.
The two people opposite him were extremely excited at this time. They sat blankly in their respective seats, their eyes full of ecstasy, and their mouths were mumbling words. They were almost crazy and could not calm down for a long time.
Their performance was completely expected by Ye Tian, and he was not surprised or surprised at all.
Any other domestic antique art appraisal expert would definitely have the same performance, or even worse, no exception!
Ye Tian did not interrupt or wake them up, but smiled and sipped tea leisurely while waiting for the two to wake up.
Two or three minutes later, Manager Liu woke up first.
The first time he woke up, he excitedly said to Ye Tian:
"Xiaoye, can you transfer the two calligraphy works of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty to our Rongbaozhai? The price is yours, and I will definitely satisfy you. Huizong's calligraphy works are so rare!
There is also the ink landscape painting "Dongting Landscape" by Mi Fu. As you know, our Rongbaozhai has the remnants of Mi Fu's "Poetry on Tiaoxi", which is a national first-class cultural relic.
If these two are exhibited together, it will be called a perfect combination, a perfect combination of calligraphy and painting! It will definitely cause a huge sensation. In addition, there are also the ink landscapes of Wang Meng of the Yuan Dynasty..."
He was about to list down, but was interrupted by Ye Tian's sudden voice.
"Manager Liu, I'm afraid I can't agree to the transfer of these antique works of art. You two should listen to Mr. Shan from the Forbidden City and say that I don't plan to transfer any antique works of art privately.
If Rong Baozhai really plans to acquire a few pieces of national treasure-level antique art from me, then prepare to participate in my private auction, compete with others at the auction, and win your favorite objects.
Preparations for my private auction are in full swing. It will be held on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year at the Beijing Hotel. Rongbaozhai is welcome to attend. I believe you will receive the invitation soon!
At that time, you will be able to see those top-notch antiques and artworks that have been lost overseas for a long time. With Rongbaozhai’s strong strength, there will definitely be no doubt about accepting a few favorite pieces of national treasure-level antiques and artworks! "
"Ah! Private auction!"
Manager Liu and Mr. Liang both exclaimed, with a hint of disappointment flashing in their eyes.
However, this look of disappointment disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by unparalleled confidence.
Compete in the auction! What does it matter? Who is Rongbaozhai afraid of? We are from the prefix Yang!
Just when Mr. Liang was about to speak and show his determination, a middle-aged man in his thirties suddenly appeared from the middle hall, holding a black lacquered gold box in his hand, and walked straight towards this side.
Seeing this, Manager Liu and Mr. Liang both had a helpless smile on their faces!
