On the afternoon of the second day, Xiao Yao came to the auction hall half an hour early.

Tang Tianhao arrived a little earlier than Xiao Yao, but he didn't rush into the auction hall to take a seat, but stood at the door and chatted with acquaintances, until he saw Xiao Yao coming over, and then greeted Xiao Yao.

The two of them walked into the auction hall talking and laughing, and people kept greeting Tang Tianhao along the way. Occasionally, someone will recognize Xiao Yao's identity and say a few words of greeting him.

Tang Tianhao, as the eldest son of the third generation of the Tang family, basically knows him from people with heads and faces in Kyoto, and in the realm of Kyoto, it can be said that he intersects all over the world.

In comparison, Xiao Yao is too low-key, and occasionally someone can recognize his identity, thanks to the fact that he attended a business dinner held by the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce. It's just that they are not familiar with each other, and they are only limited to meeting and saying hello.

After the two of them sat down, there were still people coming to greet Tang Taihao, and it wasn't until the host walked up to the auction table that Tang Tianhao calmed down.

After the auction began, the previous lot was jewelry, and Xiao Yao was not interested in these and did not raise his card once.

The auction lasted for an hour, and the Qianlong jade seal that Xiao Yao valued the most was finally put up for auction.

The auctioneer's tone rose by 8 degrees, and he said excitedly: "The following is one of the most important jade artifacts in this auction - the Qianlong jade seal! This treasure is one of the important treasure seals made by Emperor Qianlong in the early days of his succession. In terms of material, the texture of the white jade used is extremely psychic and warm, the whole body is white and fine, it is rare in the white jade that makes the treasure seal, and the volume is huge, the printing surface reaches 12.5 centimeters square, which is the largest party in all the Qianlong Emperor's name seal. The starting price of this treasure is 40 million yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 10,000 yuan, and the auction will start now!"

As the auctioneer spoke, a concierge pushed up the new lot.

After the yellow silk on the jade seal was removed, Xiao Yao was disappointed.

This jade seal is indeed the jade seal used by Emperor Qianlong, but this is just an ordinary seal, not the treasure of luck that Xiao Yao expected.

Although there was a slight regret, Xiao Yao was not disappointed. The treasure of luck is so rare, every piece is unavoidable, he just came with a glimmer of hope, of course he is happy that a miracle appears, if a miracle does not appear, it is also a normal phenomenon.

Even if this jade seal is not a treasure of luck, it is also a rare antique treasure, if the price is not very high, Xiao Yao still hopes to be able to take it.

After all, he had already told Tang Tianhao that he liked this Qianlong jade seal, and with his financial resources, it would definitely be reasonable to take a photograph.

Xiao Yao was sitting in front of the auction venue, and his eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, and he could see the Qianlong jade seal placed in the tray clearly.

At the same time, the LED screens on both sides of the auction table simultaneously present all the details of this Qianlong jade seal.

This treasure white jade, Jiaolong button, square printing surface, Chinese seal book "Qianlong Imperial Pen" four characters, Yangwen.

The double dragon in this seal dragon button is thin, smooth and scaleless, the back of the dragon germanium is uneven, the chest is straight, the head is slightly high, the head is level ahead, the demeanor is fierce and open, and the body of the double dragon is coiled very obviously. The carving is fine, the polishing is meticulous, and it is as smooth as a mirror.

Its style is consistent with the gold national treasures such as the Manchu "Treasure of Fengtian" and "Treasure of the Son of Heaven" in the collection of the Palace Museum in the early Qing Dynasty, as well as the jasper "Treasure of Kangxi Imperial Pen" auctioned by Beijing Huachen Auction Company in 2003.

Compared to the normal proportions of the ink pad and the stamp button, this treasure stamp pad is slightly low.

Obviously, this is Emperor Qianlong ordered the craftsman to grind away the text of a certain treasure seal of the previous dynasty and re-engrave the four words "Qianlong Imperial Pen". This is also the special feature of this treasure.

Such a large treasure seal is usually used for larger works, and it is very likely that it is used for the seal on the larger palace plaque.

This jade seal has a very high collection value and many bidders.

It didn't take long for the price to soar from 40 million to 80 million, and there was still a steady stream of sign-raisers.

Tang Tianhao whispered beside him: "The fame of the Qianlong Jade Seal is too great, and there are too many people who want to collect it, so it seems that it is unlikely that the wish to pick up the leakage will be realized." Brother Xiao, do you want me to help you raise your card? If I raise my card, other people should give me some face. ”

"There is no need, at most it is more than 100 million, and the final hammer price is likely to be lower than the market price, at most the same as the market price, and it is unlikely to exceed the market price. "In order to make a show for tens of millions, Xiao Yao has not dropped the price so much.

Xiao Yao's judgment is very accurate, after the price exceeds 90 million, there are not many people competing, and there are only three people left who still hold cards.

After the price exceeded 100 million, the person holding the card became more cautious, and the auctioneer shouted: "100 million and 5 million for the first time!"

It was only at this time that Xiao Yao began to raise his card for the first time, shouting loudly: "110 million!"

After he shouted the price, the room suddenly fell silent.

The market price of this Qianlong jade seal is about 140 million to 150 million, and the price reaches this level, plus the commission, and the price is not low when it appears at the legal auction.

"110 million for the first time, is anyone still holding up a card?"

After waiting for a moment, someone shouted, "112 million!"

Xiao Yao didn't hesitate at all, and raised his card again, "115 million!"

The auctioneer waited for a while, but still no one was bidding, and said, "115 million for the first time!"

After waiting for a while, but still no one was bidding, the auctioneer shouted loudly again: "115 million for the second time!"

After the auctioneer's third bidding, there was still no one to raise the card, and Xiao Yao finally auctioned this Qianlong jade seal for 115 million.

Tang Tianhao congratulated on the side: "Congratulations Brother Xiao! This price is okay, not very high." ”

"I'm stained with your light, if we hadn't come in together, the last one to hold up the sign might have fought again. Xiao Yao said.

"Even if he knows each other, Brother Xiao, you have already bargained, he still dares to fight, when I meet him one day, I have to teach him how to behave. Clearly, Tang Tianhao was very unhappy with the last contestant.

Xiao Yao was not so domineering, shook his head and said: "There is no need for this, fair competition in the auction hall, whoever pays more money will be who's, and I can't afford to pay this money, at most it is a matter of eight million, there is no need to anger people." ”
