Chapter 292 lights up
The space is not large, only the size of an auditorium, but it is normal, Li Qiang estimates that this auction is only for a small number of people who are really upper-class.
"Our seats are here.
Xu Zhuo led a few people to the third row to sit down, and Li Qiang noticed that Jiang Zhao didn't seem to be coming, and his eyes were quite accustomed.
Not long after he sat down, a man in a suit and leather shoes walked up to the stage and announced into the microphone, "Welcome back!
With the host's announcement, the lights of the seats in the audience dimmed for a moment, and four sexily dressed women came up from both sides of the bright booth, and they carefully pushed the auction items to the stage.
Li Qiang glanced at it, and there was an ancient sword, a picture of a lady, a jade Buddha pendant, and a medicinal herb
The picture of the lady is estimated to be the painting of Xu Zhuo's target, but the distance is a little far, and the discerning eye is not enough to give information.
At this time, Xu Zhuo also leaned over and asked, "How about Brother Xu, can you see the authenticity of that painting?" “
Li Qiang shook his head and said truthfully: "The distance is too far to see clearly. “
"Also, no one can tell this distance. Xu Zhuo laughed.
At this time, Li Qiang noticed that Jiang Zhao's shoulders suddenly moved, and then he attached himself to Xu Zhuo's ear and said something. Xu Zhuo's eyes widened and he asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"
Jiang Zhao nodded solemnly.
Li Qiang was a little curious, but since they had quietly discussed it privately, it must be inconvenient to tell him. Could it be that there is something wrong with these auction items?
Li Qiang observed carefully again. The ancient sword is genuine, not a modern imitation, but it looks like an antique from the Ming Dynasty at that time, and it is not worth a few dollars.
The painting was originally the purpose of Xu Zhuo's trip, and if there was anything wrong with the pictures of the ladies, they should have a greater reaction.
The jade Buddha pendant is not bad, it has a water head, but the green jade of that size is not
As for the counters...... Wait a minute!
Li Qiang's pupils shrank, and he couldn't stand up.
He glanced at it and was slightly relieved to see that Xu Zhuo and the others had not noticed the abnormality.
But then, he realized a problem. Why did Jiang Zhao discover the special features of this Jade Buddha, could it be that he was also....
Li Qiang pondered in his heart, but soon, the host had already finished his opening remarks, and the auction officially began!" The first piece of the Ming Dynasty Longquan long sword, excellent maintenance, no rust around the body, slender sword body, exquisite carving, is a good furniture ornament, starting price 100,000, please!
The host knocked down the hammer in his hand with a bang.
The longsword really didn't have much to offer, so it took about a second before someone started bidding. "One hundred and fifty thousand.
"Two hundred thousand.
"Three two hundred and one thousand. “
500,000!"
As soon as the price of one million came out, the seat suddenly lost its voice, and the price of this ancient sword was almost worth it. "Five hundred thousand once!" 500,000 twice!" Five hundred thousand three times. Deal!" In the end, this sword, which has been passed down to this day, was photographed by a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
No one cared about the auction item, after all, it was only the first appetizer.
Next, it's the lady picture of No. 2.
Li Qiang suddenly remembered something, and asked Xu Zhuo, "Anyway, this auction will be so official, will it auction fakes?"
Xu Zhuo sneered: "It's not that there is no such precedent, I once sold a fake post before,
Later, the auction said that the person who provided the goods had been killed, but that the items that had been sold would not be returned.
"Something like this, this auction hasn't closed yet, shouldn't no one trust it anymore?" Li Qiang asked puzzled.
"After all, that kind of thing has only happened once, and overall this auction is trustworthy, and there is no other auction in town that is more trustworthy.
Xu Zhuo pondered for a while and said, "This involves a lot of things, and I may not be able to tell you clearly for a while." Li Qiang nodded and didn't ask any more.
Come to think of it, this kind of underground auction doesn't know how many people and forces will be involved.
The auction of the lady's picture has begun, and the host introduced: "This is Tang Bohu's authentic handiwork, which has been appraised by my authoritative experts at auction, with a starting price of 600,000 yuan, start!"
Xu Zhuo immediately raised his sign and said, "700,000!"
Immediately, someone followed up with the bidding: "800,000!"
Obviously, many people are still interested in this picture of a lady.
Xu Zhuo didn't blink his eyes, and directly called the price: "One million."
Suddenly, the auction table was silent for a second. The man who had called the price earlier got up and shouted to this side: "In the lower Zheng family, I don't know which friend has also taken a fancy to this painting.
Xu Zhuo responded: "Xu Zhuo of the Xu family. "I'm sorry, I'm determined to get this picture of a lady, and I ask this friend not to waste any more money." “
Xu Zhuo replied loudly: "Since Mr. Zheng said so, then I will return this to you as it is." The head of the Zheng family sneered and continued to increase the price: "One million and two million." “
"One and a half million. Xu Zhuo calmly fierce
Fare increase.
The face of the head of the Zheng family was a little ugly, he hesitated for a moment, and then shouted: "One million and six million!"
Xu Zhuo was about to continue to increase the price, and even wanted to directly crush the other party with the two million.
At this time, Li Qiang suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Zhuo.
Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?" Brother Night, do you see the problem?"
Li Qiang nodded and affirmed, "It's fake." Just now, when the female model on the stage was holding a painting to the table, she suddenly gave a message.
Lady picture, imitation, author Tang Yin. Li Qiang was stunned for a moment, isn't this Tang Bohu's work?
But soon he reacted, I was afraid that it was not a modern person with the same name as Tang Bohu, maybe it was Tang Yin's descendant or something.
Now that he got the information, he grabbed Xu Zhuo as soon as possible.
Xu Zhuo thought for a moment, then gave up the bid, and shouted to the head of the Zheng family: "Since Mr. Zheng likes this painting so much, I can't help but cut my love, I believe that this painting will be very happy in the hands of people who like it so much."
The head of the Zheng family was stunned for a moment and felt a little surprised, but then he also secretly scolded Xu Zhuo for not buying it, why did he add hundreds of thousands of prices to him.
On the surface, the head of the Zheng family still politely thanked Xu Zhuo: "You're polite, you're polite." “
Xu Zhuo pretended to congratulate the head of the Zheng family, then looked at the picture of the ladies in the stands, and asked Li Qiang very distressedly: "Brother Night, are you sure, how do you see it so far away."
Li Qiang had already prepared and said decisively: "I saw that lady had a hanging ornament on her body, which was not popular in Tang Bohu's era, so I dare to say that this must be a modern imitation."
Xu Zhuo nodded as if he didn't understand when he heard this, and praised: "Brother Night, it's worthy of you, or do you know more." At this time, Jiang Zhao sneered and said, "Do you know more, don't just pretend to understand if you don't know how to understand."
Li Qiang raised his eyebrows, raised his head and glanced at Jiang Zhao, whose eyes were full of distrust.
Xu Zhuo said unhappily: "Ah Zhao, what are you talking about, it's too rude, quickly apologize to Mr. Ye."
Jiang Zhao sneered disdainfully and said, "Not to mention why he can be so sure of the difference in the hanging ornaments, so far away, dare to ask Mr. Ye if he has an invisible telescope attached to his eyes?"
Jiang Zhao sneered and unceremoniously questioned Li Qiangdao: "Dare to ask Mr. Ye if he is wearing an invisible telescope?" Xu Zhuo was also stunned when he heard this, he looked at the distance from the booth, and he was also unsure.
"And, if it's such a problem as a hanging ornament, why can't their authoritative experts find out, but you can?
... Brother Night?"
Li Qiang sighed, a little displeased. He kindly helped Xu Zhuojian paint, but it attracted suspicion.
"Even if you doubt me, I can't prove it to you, you can't run up to the stage now and tell the host to let me identify whether your paintings are fake, right?"
Li Qiang responded calmly. Jiang Zhao snorted coldly, don't look over. Xu Zhuo also made up his mind at this time, and said to Li Qiang: "Don't mind Mr. Ye, Ah Zhao doesn't know you, I still believe in Brother Ye, and when I get back, I will ask him to make a special trip to apologize to you."
Li Qiang smiled and said, "Not necessarily, but Brother Xu, if you want to verify whether this painting is fake, you can do so after the auction is over; contacted the head of the Zheng family, and said that he regretted it and wanted to buy back the picture of the lady from him. Of course, he can't find out so quickly, and when he finds out that it's a fake, he will naturally contact you and sell you the painting under all sorts of excuses. “
Xu Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, Brother Night, since I took the initiative to invite you to come, I will naturally choose to believe you." Li Qiang smiled again and stopped arguing.
At this time, Xu Zhuo continued: "Actually, it's better to save money, Jiang Zhao is a little interested in that jade Buddha, and he just has extra money to buy this." “
Hearing this, Li Qiang suddenly asked Jiang Zhao: "Mr. Jiang, you suspected that I couldn't see the booth clearly, so I wonder if you can see it clearly?"
If you are a cultivator, your five senses should be sharper than ordinary people, even if they are not as good as your discerning eyes, it is estimated that they will not be much worse if you compare them with your eyesight alone.
Li Qiang stared at Jiang Zhao's eyes, and as soon as the latter raised his head to meet Li Qiang's gaze, he immediately shook his head.
Jiang Zhao inexplicably felt as if he had been seen through his heart.
He subconsciously said, "Naturally, I can see.... In the next second, Jiang Zhao instantly changed his words: "I'm sure I can't see clearly, human eyesight can't reach this level, right?" Li Qiang smiled, turned his head, and looked at the jade Buddha pendant on the booth that was ready to be auctioned. In his eyes, the pendant was exuding a faint aura.
Li Qiang was now eighty percent sure that Jiang Zhao was also a cultivator, unless he really just made a slip of the tongue just now.
"The Jade Buddha of the Daming Temple's Monks! Dispelling Disasters and Warding Off Evil Spirits! Inheriting the Fortune of Heaven! Starting at 1.5 million!"
As soon as this price came out, many people suddenly gasped, and said in their hearts, "Such a small piece of jade Buddha, dare to sell it so expensive?
However, as soon as the host's hammer fell, someone immediately bid: "Two million!"
Xu Zhuo and Jiang Zhao glanced at each other, and they both felt a little bad.
