Chapter 392 Grandpa’s Collection

Three days later, Yangming Studio.

At ten o'clock in the morning, as the boss, Zhang Yang had just gotten up at home, but the three employees were already in their places.

Xu Jie was half lying on the chair without opening his eyes. He just went to bed six hours ago. Now he was yawning and asked Sister Gao: "Sister, why did you call us here so early?"

Sister Gao rolled her eyes at him: "Of course there is something very important. Wait, I'll get the contract."

"Contract? What contract?"

Xu Jie had questions, but Sister Gao ignored him and turned around and entered Zhang Yang's office.

He could only look at Tang Qiyun who was still eating breakfast next to him.

"Xiao Tang, have you heard of the contract that Sister Gao mentioned?"

"No." Tang Qiyun bit the steamed bun and shook her head. She was on winter vacation and her current schedule was not very healthy.

"Your senior, our boss, didn't reveal anything to you?"

"No, it's just that yesterday afternoon, my boss suddenly asked me if I wanted a salary increase..."

"Should I blanch? Increase my salary?" Xu Jie opened his eyes, stood up like a carp, and looked at Xiao Tang with a lively look, "Then, how much will the increase be?"

"I said I don't need a raise."

"Originally, my salary is already too high for a college student. I told my parents before, but they were worried that I had taken a detour and nagged me several times."

Tang Qiyun muttered a few words with a relaxed expression, which made Xu Jie scratch his head.

Is there anyone who doesn’t need a salary increase?

He couldn't help but muttered: "Why didn't the boss talk to me about a salary increase?"

"The boss is not looking for trouble. Why are you asking the boss? Why are you asking Xiao Tang?" Sister Gao suddenly appeared behind the two of them and said.

In her hand, she held the new contract that Zhang Yang had printed out last night and handed it to the other two people: "After signing the new contract, our labor relations will be under the Hailin Museum."

"A museum? Then we are not GWY!"

"Is there any establishment?" Xu Jie asked excitedly.

"The boss's museum is a private enterprise..."

Xiao Tang knows better, but she also has her own questions: "Sister, I remember that the boss also works for the Wang family? On the official website, his official title is deputy curator."

"Let's sign it, wouldn't it be better to be under the studio's banner?"

"The boss was promoted to director just yesterday." Sister Gao replied, "It seems that his family bought the entire museum."

"To acquire a museum, it will cost several hundred million, right?"

"A few hundred million has nothing to do with us. It's not GWY. We're happy in vain."

Hearing that the preparation was hopeless, Xu Jie's tone instantly became weak. He took the contract and opened the last page of the contract to sign.

"Don't you look at the salary first?" Sister Gao asked.

Xu Jie shook his head: "The real bullshit doesn't care what is written in the contract, just like I never pay too much or too little based on salary."

"Oh." Sister Gao smiled, "If you had told me earlier, I would file more taxes for you next time."

"Let me state in advance that I haven't read your contract, but in this contract, my salary has been increased."

"rise salary?"

"Wow!" Xu Jie began to flip through the contract in his hand.

"Page six." Sister Gao gave a friendly reminder.

"I'll blanch!" Xu Jie turned to the sixth page and saw the numbers on the contract. He stood up in shock and muttered "It's over, it's over."

"What's over?"

"It's over, I will work for the boss wholeheartedly from now on!"

"...How much did you gain?"

"I can't say I can't tell, the salary is confidential." Xu Jie smiled mysteriously.

After he signed, he locked the contract in the drawer and said he would hand it to Zhang Yang in person to express his gratitude.

"Just pretend." Sister Gao curled her lips in disdain and looked at Tang Qiyun, "Sister, look how much you've gained?"

"No increase." Xiao Tang looked at the contract in his hand and shook his head, "But starting from next month, I can always work in the dormitory."

"Then the new treatment is not wrong." Sister Gao nodded.

It's not particularly good, because Xiao Tang himself often asks Zhang Yang for leave for class.

After this is written in the contract, she no longer has to rush back and forth between school and company, which is indeed much more convenient.

However, she works in the dormitory, so she still needs to edit the videos that need to be edited.

"Then Xiao Tang, if you don't come to work anymore, won't it be just me and Sister Gao here?" Xu Jie suddenly felt something was wrong.

Xiao Tang is not here, he is at the bottom of the food chain.

"What? The boss is not a human being, is he?" Sister Gao said angrily.

"That was not what I meant……"

"No matter what you mean, we are moving anyway. You don't have to do all the moving work in the future!"

"Thank you for letting me move the express..."

"Moving? But we have a holiday tomorrow?" Xiao Tang asked doubtfully.

Linhai University had already had a holiday, and she was waiting for her company to also have a holiday so that she could go home for the New Year.

"It's okay. Let's pack our things this afternoon, and of course there will be a moving company to help tomorrow."

Sister Gao took out a piece of paper from the folder in her hand. On it was a printed notice of the relocation of the studio, which she would post later.

The Spring Festival holiday starts tomorrow, and after the new year, everyone will go to work at the Hailin Museum.

The room here was originally rented cheaply based on Chen Yanguang's reputation. Now that Zhang Yang is capable, of course he can't continue to take advantage of others.

Half of the fourth floor of the Hailin Museum is empty, and Zhang Yang has already vacated it. Because of Wang Jianye's release from prison, the relocation plan has been advanced.

It avoids Zhang Yang having to drive back and forth between the two places, and the commuting distance between Gao Jie and Xu Jie can be shorter, achieving multiple goals with one stone.

So although it was quite a rush to move the studio at short notice, no one felt any resistance. Even when Zhang Yang went to work, everyone's work items were almost packed.

"Okay, you can move so quickly. Remember to put labels on the boxes and mark fragile items."

"By the way, Xu Jie, you may have to go back later tonight."

"Me?" Xu Jie pointed at himself, feeling incredible.

"Help me set up the environment for the live broadcast. You guys have a break during the Chinese New Year, but I still have to continue the live broadcast."

"Boss, are you still broadcasting live during the Chinese New Year?" The remaining three people expressed shock.

"Alas, people in the world cannot help themselves."

Zhang Yang sighed helplessly, there was nothing he could do. The Spring Festival holiday is the time of the year with the largest live broadcast traffic. This time the "Collector Rating Activity" has just begun. "Huayu Gate" has arranged staff on duty. , will accompany Zhang Yang to live broadcast until New Year’s Eve.

However, only ordinary staff accompanied Zhang Yang. Leaders like Deputy Director Yang had already gone home for the holidays.

And I’ve made it clear that I’m going to be a babysitter this afternoon.

Not only to come to the live broadcast room to show off his collecting skills, but if it is too late, it will delay his enjoyment of the Spring Festival holiday.

What else can Zhang Yang say, he can only arrange it.

It was arranged at three o'clock in the afternoon. After Deputy Director Yang had finished his lunch break, he would directly connect with him for grading.

…

At half past one in the afternoon, the live broadcast started on time.

However, things were a bit strange today. Zhang Yang had been shouting for a long time, but he still didn't wait for Baoyou to apply for continuous wheat.

Although the live broadcast room is still very popular, after several consecutive days of appraisals, it seems that the treasure friends in the live broadcast room are very overdrawn. Everyone just wants to watch the treasure appraisal, and does not want to be identified as C-level waste.

Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "Many brothers should have gone home to prepare for the New Year. In fact, you can also ask the elders at home to appraise the collection."

"As for antique collection, the main thing is that it is suitable for all ages..."

These words seemed to have some effect. A few minutes later, Zhang Yang received the first application for continuous wheat of the day.

Baoyou who came up was a female college student. After she greeted Zhang Yang, she immediately put all the pressure on her grandfather.

"Grandpa, this is the expert I told you. All antiques, no matter how complicated they are, can help you tell the authenticity at a glance as long as he takes a look at them."

"Do you want to try it?"

"Yes!" My baby girl's grandfather replied with a strong Bashu accent.

"Master Zhang, if there is something wrong with my grandpa's collection later, please be merciful. He is definitely not a national treasure gang, he just likes to use his pension to buy trinkets at antique stalls."

"Don't worry, sister, I'm professional." Zhang Yang made an OK gesture to the camera.

The first thing the old man brought up was very good.

A bronze military holding (pure bottle).

When Zhang Yang was in Indonesia, he had seen Ming Dynasty ceramic military weapons. They were ornaments, but the shape of the old man's copper military weapon was obviously a practical device.

"Old man, how long have you bought this thing?"

"It's been five years, and I don't know what it was used for. When I bought it, I felt that the green rust on it was like the rust of an old antique, so I spent 5,000 yuan on it."

"Five thousand yuan? It's a bit too expensive."

"This is a Tang Dynasty-style military weapon. It's fake. The rust color on it is obviously floating on the surface. It was made by chemicals."

"If you don't believe it, you can use a brush to brush it, and you will find that the rust color on the outside is very light..."

Zhang Yang explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand way, without going into too much detail.

When discussing the authenticity of things with these elders, it has always been "if you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it."

However, Baoyou's grandfather was still very easy to communicate with. He didn't raise any objections, but suddenly muttered: "Oh, it's fake. Then someone has deceived me."

"Teacher, if the things are right, how much would they be worth?" asked the girl.

"The Tang Dynasty antiques are not allowed to be auctioned. Even if they were placed at overseas auctions a few years ago, such antiques would only sell for about 20,000 yuan."

After hearing this, the girl friend immediately relayed it to her grandfather:

"Grandpa, can't you hear this? The most valuable one is only worth 20,000. Don't buy it again in the future."

"Okay, okay, I understand." The old man replied repeatedly.

[It means that if you pick it up, it really doesn’t count as a leak, so there is no need to pick it up]

[It makes sense. Even if it is real junk, it is not worth buying it. You might as well try your luck and buy Yuanqinghua]

[The old man has a good attitude. If it were my father, he would have already started to argue with the teacher]

The old man's second collection is also a metal object, but its shape is very strange.

Zhang Yang didn't recognize him at first glance.

It was after Baoyou showed how to use the thing that he realized that it turned out to be a foldable portable oil lamp.

The main body of the lamp is shaped like a wine glass with a canopy-shaped lid.

After one half of the lid is opened, it can be turned over and stood on top of the other half to form a complete lamp. There are stakes inside the lamp plate to fix the wick.

The place where the lamp panel is connected to the lamp body is connected with a movable shaft.

This kind of shaft was called "window" in ancient times, so this kind of lamp is also called "window lamp".

But Zhang Yang prefers its other name - official hat lamp.

Because the lid looks like an official hat when closed.

"This official hat lamp is pretty good. It dates back to the late Ming Dynasty." Zhang Yang gave the old man a thumbs up and asked him, "Is this something passed down from your ancestors? Or did you get it at the antique market?"

"This oil lamp was a dowry from my mother-in-law's family when she got married. It's been over sixty years now."

"Wow, it seems that your father-in-law's family was quite powerful at that time."

"Yes." Girlfriend continued Zhang Yang's words, "My grandma's family was very rich at the time, and my grandma's father was an official in the county, but later the family fell into decline, and there were not many treasures left. "

"This thing was dug out of the groceries on the second floor when my hometown was demolishing the house a few years ago, and it was hidden by my grandfather."

"It's a good thing. Although the current market price is not high, only about 10,000 yuan, things like this still have collection value."

This time, the girl did not directly translate Zhang Yang's words, but said to her grandfather: "Grandpa, can you give me this oil lamp?"

"I want to take it back and put it on the table as a small ornament."

[Wow, this is too straightforward]

[Grandpa probably never would have imagined that his granddaughter took her to appraise treasures just for popcorn]

[This is a bit outrageous. Do I have to say it in the live broadcast? 】

[I guess there are other relatives around, so it’s better to strike first]

"Ahem." Zhang Yang also felt that Baoyou's behavior was not very advisable, so he coughed twice, "Baoyou, we are still live broadcasting here, please pay attention to the impact."

"Teacher, you misunderstood. If I don't take this thing away, it will definitely be sold by my uncle. Many of my grandpa's treasures were sold by him, and he is not filial..."

"Well, it's not convenient for me to comment on family matters. Do you have anything else to appraise?" Zhang Yang asked.

"There are some." The girl friend heard Zhang Yang's urging and quickly changed to another antique to display in the camera.

This time it was a drawer full of silver dollars, copper coins and silver ingots.

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment. The total number of things in the drawer must be at least dozens. It seemed like he was from a wealthy family.

"Let's choose a special appraisal. Take that silver ingot, the one with three seals on it, pick it up and let me take a look." Zhang Yang commanded.

"this one?"

"Yes, come on, let me read the words on it."

"This is written as [Black Well Huang Shu]." Nv Baoyou helped Zhang Yang analyze.

"Then this thing should be a kind of silver ingot popular in Dian Province during the Daoguang period of Jiaqing in the late Qing Dynasty, called [three-groove silver ingot]."

"This silver ingot in your family has a lot to say. Heijing was a very important salt well in Yunnan Province at that time. This kind of silver ingot with the name of the salt well is called a salt tax ingot. The silver ingot minted by the government for tax payment has a very large amount in the world. rare."

"How much is it worth now?"

Zhang Yang looked at the reference price and replied, "The value is around 70,000."

Girlfriend: "Grandpa, this silver ingot..."

Zhang Yang: 666!
