"Tang, it's time to go. If you don't leave, you won't be able to catch the plane!" Joubert said to Tang Zhengqing.

Tang Zhengqing smiled and didn't say anything. After he went to New York, he would have his own plane. Then he could directly take a private plane to China.

There is no need for Tang Zhengqing to fly. He can fly directly and the speed is very fast. However, Tang Zhengqing can only ask for one plane. This plane is for his parents, elders and relatives, not for himself.

of.

But that was several days later. Tang Zhengqing still remembered that he had chosen an airplane from Tong Qingnian's list. It was a new airplane that was only two years old. This airplane could still be used for at least twenty or thirty years.

After getting on the plane, Tang Zhengqing followed Joubert to New York. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Even though the United States is the largest flying country in the world, small places still cannot compare with big cities, and many of the aircraft in the United States are propeller-driven agricultural aircraft, not Boeing passenger planes.

After arriving in New York, Tang Zhengqing got into the car with Joubert. Tang Zhengqing didn't care where Joubert got the car, and Tang Zhengqing didn't look back and forth like Li Zhenghai did.

New York, New York. Li Zhenghai still remembers a TV series he once watched when he was a child. People in the Imperial City are in New York. Li Zhenghai remembers a sentence, a 600,000 Cadillac. At that time, Li Zhenghai once fantasized about this.

How much tiger meat does 600,000 yuan buy?

Now that he finally arrived in New York, Li Zhenghai always felt like he was in a dream.

For people of Li Zhenghai's age, there are not many people who like America. Only people in their thirties and forties like America more. Young people born in the new era don't have anything too good about America.

I feel like I have a lot of good feelings towards neon. After all, I grew up watching neon anime since I was a child.

This is also the division between two generations. It does not matter if it is lower than Tang Zhengqing. After all, more than one billion people cannot have only one thought or one thought.

"Don, why don't we go relax in the evening? New York has the best place to relax in the entire United States."

"Joubert, no need. I came here mainly because I have things to do, and there is no need for anything else. When your old man has thought about it, just tell me that I want to have a good rest and take a look.

Chinatown here, after all, Chinatown in New York is the largest Chinatown in the entire United States." Tang Zheng said calmly.

I have done a lot in the past few days in the United States, and it’s time to rest. And after coming to the United States, I have to visit the largest city in the United States, just like after coming to China, after coming to the Magic City.

, if you don’t visit the city, wouldn’t you be sorry for yourself?

"Okay!" Joubert nodded helplessly. He thought Tang Zhengqing would go with him to have fun, but he didn't expect that Tang Zhengqing actually wanted to have a good rest.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhenghai was also ready to take a good rest. Of course, this rest did not mean that he would just sleep and stop working, but that he would need to edit the previously shot material well, at least to edit an initial version.

OK.

Long Island, Four Seasons Hotel, Tang Zhengqing stayed in the presidential suite specially designed by Robert Zhu. After walking in, Tang Zhengqing could feel that there were several cameras in the room. Tang Zhengqing destroyed them directly with his mental power. He didn't know

Whether this was specifically for himself or for all customers, Tang Zhengqing still destroyed it directly.

The staff who were monitoring the video in the monitoring room suddenly saw the camera of the presidential suite on the top floor turning into snowflakes, and knew that something was wrong. If someone discovered it, they would die in the future.

"What should I do? What should I do?" the staff member who was watching the surveillance muttered to himself.

"It's over, it's over!" He thought that if this matter came out, he would definitely take the blame, because he was the only one in the entire monitoring room, and he was studying computers, so he was the professional counterpart.

Tang Zhengqing didn't know about this. He took a bath, chatted with Youyouduo via video for a while, and then went to bed.

Early the next morning, Tang Zhengqing got up early and went straight to Chinatown without telling Joubert or Li Zhenghai.

Tang Zhengqing took a taxi directly to Chinatown. Even though it was early morning, there were people coming and going in Chinatown. They were all human beings.

“This place is more lively than some cities in China.” Basically all the stores in Chinatown are run by Chinese people, and many of the languages ​​used are Cantonese, but now there are also many people who speak Mandarin, so the antiques here

There were also many shops. Tang Zhengqing randomly found one called Gu Yuexuan and walked in.

This is a three-story building. When Tang Zhengqing walked in, he found that it was very spacious. "It's not that good. You dare to call me Gu Yuexuan and you're not afraid of flashing your tongue." Tang Zhengqing looked around and complained in his heart.

road.

Anyone who is familiar with antiques will know that Gu Yuexuan is one of Qianlong's favorite hall names, and it can be found across the ocean in Chinatown, New York.

Tang Zhengqing didn't know what to say. There were absolutely few people in the country who dared to use such a name.

Although he was dissatisfied, Tang Zhengqing was still watching alone. Whether it was true or false, Tang Zhengqing looked at it very carefully, because Tang Zhengqing couldn't tell the truth from the false.

"Young man, are you taking a good look at this thing?" Just as Tang Zhengqing was staring at a plum vase, an older voice came from behind Tang Zhengqing.

Tang Zhengqing turned around and saw that he was indeed a familiar person, "Hello, Mr. Ma, I just saw you from a distance. I thought I saw you wrong, but I didn't expect you to be here." Tang Zhengqing stretched out his arms excitedly.

He shook hands with Mr. Ma as soon as he showed his hands.

"Hello young man, how do you know me?" Mr. Ma asked curiously.

"I watched the Baijia Forum where you lectured when I was in college, and later I also watched your talk show on the Internet, so I am very familiar with you." When Mr. Ma heard what Tang Zhengqing said, it was indeed true.

"Young man, thank you for supporting my program." After Mr. Ma thanked Tang Zhengqing, he looked at the things behind Tang Zhengqing.

"Oh, I was so excited that I forgot about it, Mr. Ma, look at it." Tang Zhengqing quickly stepped over and gave up his position to Mr. Ma.

After Mr. Ma thanked him, he just watched. Tang Zhengqing stood beside him and remained silent.

After watching for about five minutes, Mr. Ma stood up straight and said, "Young man, do you also like antiques?" Mr. Ma saw that Tang Zhengqing had been standing beside him silently, and just looking at him like this, he felt that he might also be an antique.

I am a lover of antiques, so I wanted to chat with Tang Zhengqing on a whim.

He arrived in New York yesterday and had to go back in two days. What's more, he came alone this time, so Mr. Ma also felt a little bored.

"I just like Chinese traditional culture. Not only do I like antiques, I also like other things. It's just that I don't know anything about antiques." Tang Zhengqing told the truth that he really didn't know anything about antiques.

"As long as you are interested, it's fine. I was also interested in antiques when I was your age, so I have been engaged in this industry for forty years." They say interest is the best teacher, as long as Tang Zhengqing is interested, that's fine.

It's easy to handle, but if you are not interested, it will be difficult to handle.

"That's okay. I plan to take a walk around Chinatown today. If you have time, you can follow me and have a good look." Mr. Ma glanced at Tang Zhengqing and felt that the more he looked at him, the more comfortable he became.

"Then I'm really grateful to Mr. Ma, thank you so much." Tang Zhengqing quickly thanked him.

It is great to be able to get Mr. Ma's advice. Although Tang Zhengqing has an empire on Tianyuan Star, a world with a million-year civilization, Tang Zhengqing really doesn't know much about antiques. Mr. Ma has his own

It is a private museum and has opened several branches. It is obvious that it is very familiar with antiques on the earth.

Besides, Mr. Ma is also a very good teacher. At least Tang Zhengqing knew that Mr. Wang Gang, who was very popular on TV back then, learned antique knowledge from Mr. Ma.

In this way, Tang Zhengqing followed Mr. Ma and watched him look at the antiques in the antique shop bit by bit.

"Xiao Tang, are you from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces?" Through chatting, Mr. Ma found out that Tang Zhengqing was originally from China and not a banana man from Chinatown.

"I'm from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. I came to the United States to travel. I just came to New York from the West Coast yesterday. I just had time to go out for a walk today. I didn't expect to meet Teacher Ma." Tang Zhengqing was a little surprised. What's wrong with him being from Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang are a good place. I often went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang back then." Mr. Ma's words made Tang Zhengqing a little puzzled.

"Mr. Ma, I watched your video. Didn't you say that you often go to Jiangxi, Hebei, and Shanxi? When did you go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Besides, we don't have any famous porcelain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Tang Zhengqing noticed that Mr. Ma

The words are completely different from the ones in the video.

"Xihu City in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is still very famous. I go there almost every year to visit."

"Mr. Ma, why did you come to the United States? How can I save you alone? I heard that your English is not very good, why did you come here by yourself?" Tang Zhengqing knew that Mr. Ma's English was not very good.

Well, sometimes you often need to be accompanied by an interpreter.

"My English has improved a little over the years, and I can at least communicate normally. As for coming to New York this time, there is a Christie's China-specific auction tomorrow night, and they invited me over." Ma.

The old man did not hide anything and directly told Tang Zhengqing the cause and effect of the matter.

"Teacher Ma, it's like this. I will also go to Hilton's auction tomorrow night. I wonder if I can sit with you then?" Duhao said looking at Mr. Ma expectantly.

"Ah? Are you going to the collection auction too?" Mr. Ma asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes, I was also invited a few days ago. I just happened to have nothing to do, so I came. But I don't know the value of antiques at all, so can I sit with you when the time comes and give me some advice?

?" Tang Zhengqing asked again.

"Okay, you can sit next to me then, but I still advise you not to buy things randomly." Ma Lao said to Tang Zhengqing in a serious tone.

After this period of chatting and contact, Mr. Ma found that the child in front of him really liked Chinese culture. He could talk about a lot of traditional literature with him. It was obvious that he was not bragging, so Mr. Ma was very fond of Chinese culture.

Tang Zhengqing liked it even more.

"Mr. Ma, don't worry. I won't bid randomly. I don't even know whether the things they sell are real or fake, so I just plan to take a look. If you have any suggestions, you can tell me. I

Trust Mr. Ma." Tang Zhengqing's words were very serious. "I believe Mr. Ma" really shows that he really wanted to ask Mr. Ma to help him with this auction matter.

"Boy, Christie's doesn't auction fake things, so you don't need to worry. At most, the things they sell are not of that great value." Mr. Ma wanted to laugh a little, but he really felt that Tang Zhengqing could

I don't know much about antiques.

"Really? There are really no fakes? If that's the case, I can buy two more." Tang Zhengqing still didn't believe it.

"You kid, Christie's is a 300-year-old brand. What's wrong with selling fake things? It's not like you've ruined your own brand. Who will trust Christie's in the future? You must know that what the auction house sells is credibility.

, if it’s something they can’t tell whether it’s genuine or fake, they would rather not put it up for auction than take it up.”

After listening to Mr. Ma's words, Tang Zhengqing realized that the plot in the novel he had read was fake. When an auction house took out something, he didn't even know whether it was true or false. He also said that we didn't know the value either.

The starting price was 10,000 yuan. After waiting for a while, the protagonist paid 10,000 yuan to buy it. He was still very proud of it. The people around him looked contemptuous. Is this a fool? How could he buy such a thing?

The real situation is not like this at all. This three-hundred-year-old company has countless appraisers. As long as one appraiser thinks that there is something wrong with the item, it will not be put up for auction. As for the auction company itself, they can’t figure it out.

If it's something, it wouldn't be put up for auction. People would rather keep it in the basement for decades, waiting until someone knows it before putting it up for auction again, so I can only think about the plot in the novel.

However, things like picking up leaks are still very common, but they are basically done at street stalls. If you want to pick up leaks from auction companies, don’t even think about it.

The two of them stayed until night, when the street lights were on, before going back.

"Mr. Ma, go back. It's getting late. If you want to continue watching, come back tomorrow." Tang Zhengqing persuaded. Mr. Ma was very excited all afternoon. He was even more enthusiastic than Tang Zhengqing and walked around for ten consecutive days.

There are several antique shops, but the two of them are empty-handed so far.

"Then go back and see again tomorrow morning." Mr. Ma looked at the sky and knew it was getting late.

"Where do you live? I will go find you tomorrow." Mr. Ma asked Tang Zhengqing as he walked.

"Mr. Ma, I'm staying at the Four Seasons Hotel." "What, you're staying at the Four Seasons Hotel too, that's just right. I'm also staying at the Four Seasons Hotel. I'll just call you directly tomorrow."
