Then, Liu Yuqing sent the electronic catalog that had been verified to the printing factory she had been working with, and asked them to work overtime overnight to print a few copies of the catalog.

For elderly people like Liu Yuanshan and others, the printed auction catalogue is much more convenient than electronic catalogues, and it won’t feel tiring to look at it. As for any places that need to be modified, they can also point it out.

And Zhou Xia was sure that some modifications were needed. These old experts were experienced and considered more comprehensively by looking at problems or using wording.

But the subsequent things have basically nothing to do with Zhou Xia. When Liu Yuqing finished these things, she realized that it was too late.

She said she would invite Zhou Xia to dinner, and Zhou Xia said forget it, just go home and deal with it. Liu Yuqing didn't force it, but she said, "I drive you home. It's not easy to hit the table at this point. There are so many auction catalogs. Why don't I put it in the car in the morning? I have to move it out again this time."

Zhou Xia replied, "This catalog is nothing. I have moved my home to the nearby Mingzhu Community today, and it will be much more convenient to do things in the future."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "That's right, I'm almost back there too. I said, you moved so close to the ghost market to better visit the ghost market!"

"If you have time, go for a walk. Anyway, you are idle in the morning, so you can just exercise." Zhou Xiaru replied. He was very nervous now, so he had to take some rest time and go to Guishi to exchange for something.

"You should also pay attention to rest, don't work too hard, and don't be in a hurry." Liu Yuqing advised him.

Zhou Xia nodded and said yes, saying that she had listened, but Liu Yuqing knew that he would not just listen to her. Anyway, she tried her best to help him, and it depends on his own.

Liu Yuqing has brought a lot of auction catalogs, with several auction companies. They all hold autumn auctions in October, including many leading companies in the industry. Each auction company produces several large books, and many senior buyers receive annual auction catalogs, almost all of which can fill a room, without any exaggeration.

Fortunately, Zhou Xia is very strong and can walk extremely steadily with a stack of auction catalogs.

Liu Yuqing drove him downstairs to Mingzhu Community and asked him to rest early. Zhou Xia thanked her and said the same thing to her. The two of them looked at each other and then went back to their respective homes.

After getting the auction catalogue in the house, Zhou Xia went to the community supermarket to buy instant noodles, dumplings and dumplings and other things, and planned to fill her stomach first.

While waiting for the water to boil, Zhou Xia flipped through the catalogue he brought back.

Now the auction catalogs of each company are similar. In Liu Yuqing's words, they are to learn from each other and learn from each other. If you have any good ideas and ideas, just use them directly. The homogeneity is serious, and in the end everyone is the same.

But the appearance of the catalogue is irrelevant. The most important thing is to have high-quality products that can be used to attract buyers to come.

Zhou Xia roughly reviewed the catalog of one of the best auction companies in the country and gained a general understanding of the overall situation.

In this autumn auction, "raw goods" means high-quality products that appear frequently in the market, and not many of them. Many lots of goods frequently appear in the auction venues in recent years. Generally speaking, more than half of the "cooked goods" will rise, and both buyers and sellers expect it to appreciate. Of course, some lots are on a downward trend, and even if the buyers fail to invest, this phenomenon is particularly obvious in the Chinese calligraphy and painting sector.

Because the mass base of calligraphy and painting section is very good, the large number of calligraphy and painting works are present, and there are many collectors involved, and the frequent exchanges are also relatively frequent, so they account for a considerable proportion of the overall transaction volume of the antique collection market.

Zhou Xia’s current goal is to take into account the calligraphy and painting section. Even if an archaeological identification system can accurately identify the age, it would be quite embarrassing if you don’t know whose painting it is and what style characteristics his paintings have. There is no quick way to achieve this, so you can only read and remember more. Fortunately, the system will have a lot of hidden benefits for him, otherwise, let alone identifying the authenticity, just memorizing so many famous masters is enough to be a big deal.

Su Xiaoru wants to develop in this direction. Zhou Xia can make progress with her. If someone is with her, it will not be so boring to learn.

Of course, what Zhou Xia is most concerned about is porcelain, which is his favorite and best-for-nothing field.

But what made him feel regretful was that even the most famous auction house in the country, the quality of the porcelain collected in this autumn auction was still not ideal. It reflected that the collectors were reluctant to sell and were unwilling to take out the good things in their hands and put them on such a market.

As usual, there are very few fine products that cost tens of millions or even over 100 million. The highest-valued one is the Qianlong pastel Buddha statue with a price of about five million. But Zhou Xia estimated that with the current people's enthusiasm for the Emperor's power of Qianlong and their enthusiasm for Buddha statues, it should be no problem to sell high prices that exceed one double the estimated price, that is, it should be more than tens of millions.

Relatively speaking, the Yongxuan blue and white porcelain launched by Tiandi Auction Company is definitely one of the best porcelain products in the entire autumn auction.

After filling his stomach, Zhou Xia continued to fight with the auction catalogue.

He focused on the miscellaneous aspects of porcelain, which were things he could get started in the preview of the auction, which would greatly help and improve his appraisal level.

Zhou Xia did not think that these were all genuine products. Many high-quality imitations produced in Jingdezhen were sent to large-scale auctions held by international auction houses Sotheby's and Christie's. At these domestic auctions, the number of such high-quality imitations will only be greater. You can't tell them just by looking at the photos in the catalogue. You have to start with them and carefully identify them to identify the authenticity.

Of course, there are some things that Zhou Xia can tell through photos, and they are definitely imitations. To put it in the words of Mr. Zhou Xia, if you see more porcelain, it is very simple to identify ordinary imitations. You don’t need to look at them, you can tell them at a glance. Just like a person walking over the opposite side, no matter how bad your eyesight is, men or women should always be able to tell them clearly! If you can’t tell them clearly, I suggest you just change careers and don’t go out to embarrass you.

Among the porcelain collected by the large auction company, Zhou Xia could tell at a glance that it was a fake, and there were also a lot of it. Zhou Xia believed that if he saw the real thing on site, the characteristics of the fakes would be more obvious, and those items naturally did not need to be paid special attention to.

Zhou Xiadu marked some lots that needed special attention in detail and recorded the number and name of the lot on the small notebook he carried with him, so as not to forget it when he got it.

Researching such auction catalogs is a very interesting thing for Zhou Xia, and it makes him enjoy it because he can learn a lot of new things from it. Even if he doesn't know anything, he can check the relevant information to deepen his understanding of them.

He had just made the auction catalogue of Tiandi Auction Company, and he naturally had a deep understanding of the meaning of such an auction catalogue.

By the early morning, Zhou Xia felt a little sleepy, so he packed up and washed up. He was going to sleep for a few hours before going to the ghost market to try his luck.

The adjusted alarm clock rang on time. Zhou Xia quickly got up, cleaned up, and rushed to the ghost market.

By then, he wouldn't have a lot of people, but not long after, the popularity of the entire ghost market became prosperous.

But Zhou Xia walked around the ghost market carefully, but found nothing worth taking action.

He saw something that was barely worth buying, which was an ivory pen holder from the late Qing Dynasty. But when Zhou Xia asked the stall owner, he seemed to know that it was a good thing, with a price of 50,000 yuan, and he refused to give it to him anyway.

Zhou Xia didn't bother him much. In his opinion, the ivory pen holder was just like a carving workmanship, and it was not a famous artist. He might buy it if he sold it for 20,000 yuan. Because it would be difficult to transfer it out if he bought it. That guy offered 50,000 yuan, which was a sky-high price. Unless Zhou Xia was sucked, he would not buy it at such a high price. If he had the spare money, it would be better to keep it and buy something else.

At the ghost market, Zhou Xia also met Zhao Xiangbo, and he had to come forward honestly to say hello.

Zhao Xiangbo is the type of strolling around when he has nothing to do. He acts like he is not interested in Xu Li, but if Zhou Xia dares to turn a blind eye to him, he will definitely be scolded by him.

Zhao Xiangbo asked Zhou Xia with great interest, "Did you receive any good things this morning? Take them out and let me see. Don't hide them. Your secret porcelain water purification cup is still in my hands."

Zhou Xia was quite speechless to him. Zhao Xiangbo was really an old hooligan, and he could say all the threats like this. Besides, he didn't have the luck to be so arrogant. He would meet good things every time and get it at a low price. He only said, "I only like an ivory pen holder, but unfortunately the price is so expensive. I think I still imitate Professor Zhao, it's better to see more and buy less."

Zhao Xiangbo didn't seem to be lying. If it weren't for the situation like yesterday, Zhou Xia wouldn't have concealed something that had just been unearthed. This kid would definitely be even more proud and it was too late to show it out. In addition, he had also seen the ivory pen holder, which had a rough carving and a magnificent style, and had no style that cultural relics should have. It was wasted ivory raw materials in vain. It can be said that except for the ivory that was a slightly older, it had no collection value.

Zhou Xia was empty-handed, and Zhao Xiangbo felt very happy. Of course, he did not show it directly, but praised him and said, "Zhou Xia, I always thought you just had good eyesight, but didn't expect that you had a good vision too!"

Zhou Xia replied, "Professor Zhao has been awarded too much! Actually, it has nothing to do with vision and vision. The real situation is that I don't have enough capital and dare not squander it. If I have endless money to spend, I will definitely buy it. After all, it is an ivory of the times!"

Zhao Xiangbo laughed and thought to himself that this kid was really interesting, and it was exactly the same as his judgment.
