Chapter 267 What a Coincidence

On the way, Tang Feng learned the identity of this old man Ouyang from Mao Anyi.

It is said that this old man Ouyang is the undisputed king in the Zhonghai antique world.

When the reform and opening up just started, old man Ouyang was in his forties and had become a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise, but he resolutely resigned and began to collect antiques everywhere.

At that time, many people thought he was crazy, leaving his iron rice bowl and going to speculate.

But old man Ouyang insisted on his own way and walked the streets and alleys every day.

At that time, the antique market had not really risen, and there were not so many fakes.

He spent almost all his savings on buying antiques.

In this way, he grew step by step to become the undisputed king of the Zhonghai antique world.

If you ask who is the most famous in the Zhonghai antique world, there may be a hundred answers.

But if you ask who is the strongest, generally those who know the inside story will say the name "Ouyang Yushan".

After listening to Mao Anyi's introduction, Tang Feng realized that he still had a lot to learn.

He was about to become the chief appraiser of Yayuan, but he didn't even know such a person. It was really wrong.

Ouyang Yushan's house was in the South City District, an independent courtyard.

When Tang Feng parked the car outside the gate, someone had been waiting at the door for a long time.

He was a man in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking gentle.

But Tang Feng could tell from his posture that this man was extraordinary, like a leopard ready to attack, ready to give the enemy a fatal blow at any time.

"Hello, Mr. Chang, we meet again." Mao Anyi smiled and greeted the man as soon as she got out of the car, and took the initiative to shake hands.

After the man greeted her, he turned his eyes to Tang Feng, "This is Mr. Tang, right? Hello, I am Mr. Ouyang's assistant, my name is Chang Wenhao."

"Hello, Mr. Chang."

Tang Feng didn't dare to be arrogant and shook hands with him.

Chang Wenhao didn't say much and walked towards the yard first.

Tang Feng and Mao Anyi followed immediately.

It was already dark, and the lights in the yard were on, illuminating the whole yard.

Tang Feng originally thought it was just a small yard, but when he walked in, he found that he was wrong.

This yard is very large, with winding corridors, rockery, artificial lake, pavilion...

If you come during the day, you should be able to see the beautiful scenery in the yard.

Although Zhonghai can only be regarded as a second-tier city and the housing prices are not ridiculously high, it is still amazing to have such a large yard.

Chang Wenhao seemed to see what he was thinking, and explained with a smile, "This is a courtyard built in his hometown by a provincial governor of the Qing Dynasty after he retired."

"During the reform and opening up, the descendants of that provincial governor immigrated abroad and sold this courtyard to Mr. Ouyang at a low price."

After listening to his explanation, Tang Feng couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "I guess the owner of that house is regretting it now."

"Why do you say that?" Chang Wenhao was stunned for a moment.

"I've seen a joke before. It said that a man sold a courtyard house in Beijing for 300,000 yuan, left his hometown and went abroad to start a business. After living in the open air and working hard for 20 years, he finally made 2 million US dollars and planned to return to China to spend his old age. Only then did he realize that the courtyard house he sold was now worth 100 million yuan."

"Hahaha..."

Although Chang Wenhao and Mao Anyi had heard this joke, when Tang Feng told it vividly, it still made the two laugh.

The three of them walked through the corridor, talking and laughing, and soon came to a house.

This room is located in the center of the courtyard. It combines the architectural style of Cantonese dwellings and even has some elements of Huizhou architecture.

Before the three of them entered the house, they heard a hearty voice from inside, "What are you three talking about? I heard your laughter from a long distance."

Before the voice fell, an old man came out with a cane.

The old man had white hair, but his eyes were so bright that people dared not look at him.

"Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Tang and Miss Mao are here."

Chang Wenhao, who had been acting freely in front of Tang Feng and the others just now, immediately became restrained when he saw the old man.

The old man cast his eyes on Tang Feng, "This is Mr. Tang, right? I am not able to walk well, so I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

Tang Feng knew that this old man must be Mr. Ouyang Yushan.

Not daring to neglect, he quickly walked over to him, "Junior Tang Feng, nice to meet Mr. Ouyang."

"Haha, I heard from Miss Mao that you are also an antique appraiser, so we have something in common."

Tang Feng had previously heard Mao Anyi's description and thought that Mr. Ouyang was a majestic and ruthless character.

But now from his words and deeds, he is just a kind-hearted old artist.

The two were then invited into the room, and after they sat down as host and guest, someone immediately served them tea.

Tang Feng now has some understanding of tea, and he can tell from the aroma that it should be the Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain.

"I heard from Miss Mao that Mr. Tang is now the chief appraiser in an antique shop? Such a young chief appraiser has a promising future."

Ouyang Yushan took a sip of tea, slowly put down the tea bowl, and looked at Tang Feng with a smile, just like a grandfather looking at his grandson.

Tang Feng bowed modestly, "Don't listen to her nonsense, I'm not yet."

"Not yet? Does that mean it will be soon?" Ouyang Yushan immediately heard his implication.

"I guess so, but I have to wait until I pass the appraiser assessment." Tang Feng felt that there was no need to hide it, so he told the truth.

"Appraiser assessment? So, you haven't got the appraiser qualification certificate yet?"

Ouyang Yushan was immediately surprised. A person who hasn't got the professional qualification certificate has been designated as the chief appraiser. It can be seen how strong the other party is.

Tang Feng didn't feel embarrassed and admitted generously, "I will take the professional appraiser qualification test next week."

Ouyang Yushan smiled strangely when he heard this, "What a coincidence, I am the judge of this test."

"Uh..."

Tang Feng was dumbfounded.
