033 Merchants and interests

Facing Xia Dongyi's gaze, Yan Yihan felt very uncomfortable, obviously, both of them were embarrassed.

Tilting his head slightly, Yan Yihan said, "No, the teacher and Mr. Jiang are still waiting for me over there."

Xia Dongyi raised his eyes and looked at the other side, Li Qiyu nodded, and Jiang Yaocheng waved his hand at him, which was regarded as a greeting.

Yan Yihan saw Xia Dongning seeing her, so she had to come over to say hello, now Xia Dongning's face was lukewarm, Yan Yihan couldn't stand here anymore, and after nodding, she walked back.

Hong Kong is really small, and you can meet it everywhere. Now Yan Yihan is just thanking God, fortunately she didn't let the three of them share the table again, then she might really go crazy in advance.

As the opening time approached, all the guests arrived. A man in a suit and bow tie came up on the stage, with a formulaic smile on his face, and said, "Thank you very much for coming to this auction, I announce that now the auction has officially begun, and the first piece on display is a jadeite inlaid gold porcelain vase from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, with a reserve price of 10 million!"

There is a tight display case in the middle of the table, and a delicate porcelain vase with a height of about 30 centimeters slowly rises from under the display case, which looks strange and dazzling under the illumination of the white spotlight.

The lecturer on the stage wore white gloves on his hands, and when the bulletproof glass around the display case fell, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the porcelain vase, while giving a detailed explanation, including the production year of the various jadeites on the porcelain vase, the delicacy of the finish, and the future value upside.

As the lecturer finished explaining, he raised his hand and signaled that everyone below could bid.

The first person held up the sign and shouted, "Twelve million!"

Each time, the price was raised from one million, and this time it rose to 12 million.

"Thirteen million!"

Li Qiyu and Jiang Yaocheng were talking in a low voice on the side, and Li Qiyu asked, "What do you think of this thing?"

Jiang Yaocheng said with a light smile, "Since the depreciation of the dollar and the depreciation of the euro in the past few years, everyone has no concept of money. Gold is limited, and it is impossible for everyone to openly bid on gold at auction, so these antique calligraphy and paintings are the best collectible objects, this porcelain vase of the Ming Dynasty, I guarantee that in ten years, it will be sold for three times the auction price today!"

Li Qiyu nodded, his gaze behind his flat-rimmed glasses with a hint of playfulness.

Yan Yihan said to Jiang Yaocheng curiously, "Mr. Jiang, I really don't know, it turns out that you know so much about antiques!"

Jiang Yaocheng replied with a light smile, "I don't know about it, I just like to collect some of it."

Li Qiyu interjected, "Don't listen to him, he is a professional, and you can go to his house to visit his study when you have time, it is much better than the things in the Hong Kong Museum!"

Yan Yihan's face showed surprise, and Jiang Yaocheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Hehe, don't listen to his nonsense, but when Miss Yan has time, you can come and take a look, of course, if you are interested."

Yan Yihan smiled and agreed.

"Eighteen million!"

The lecturer on the stage said, "Someone has already sent out 18 million, is there anything higher? If not, 18 million at a time...... Three times, deal!"

The final word, in the end, the jade-inlaid gold-inlaid porcelain vase drawn by the Ming Dynasty was auctioned off by a wealthy businessman from the mainland at a high price of 18 million.

Yan Yihan looked at Jiang Yaocheng and said, "Mr. Jiang, you said that this porcelain vase is so valuable, why didn't I see you bidding with you?"

Jiang Yaocheng had a thoughtful smile on her face, and after a while, she opened her mouth and replied, "How can I say it, I have to look at things by my eyes, I don't have any interest in that bottle!"

Li Qiyu smiled at Jiang Yaocheng with a deep meaning, Jiang Yaocheng immediately made a helpless expression, and said to Yan Yihan, "Actually, the eye edge is also secondary, but you have to understand the rules of this auction, generally the things auctioned in front are not considered high-quality, and of course the good things are left behind!"

Yan Yihan nodded, suddenly realized.

Li Qiyu said loudly, "I told you a long time ago, don't think too simple about businessmen, they are treacherous!"

Yan Yihan couldn't help but grin, revealing a big smile.

With an inadvertent glance, her eyes met An Mubing who was sitting diagonally behind, An Mubing also looked at her and smiled, his handsome face, because of the extra smile, looked a lot softer.

Yan Yihan's face turned red, as if he had been caught, and subconsciously turned his head.

She didn't notice that while she was on the opposite side of her, Xia Dongyi's eyes had always been on her and had never left.

The exhibits exhibited after this are indeed as Jiang Yaocheng said, the more they make an appointment in the future, there is a posthumous work of an Eastern Han calligrapher, and even Li Qiyu has fallen in love with it.

Yan Yihan didn't understand much, so she went to ask Jiang Yaocheng and asked him how he was.

Jiang Yaocheng stared at the handwriting on the stage, and replied loudly, "Now it is said that it is a posthumous work and a genuine handwriting, and there are also some high-level fakes, it is difficult to distinguish, my research on handwriting is not as deep as Qi Yushen, it is so far away, I can't see the doorway!"

Yan Yihan thought to himself, it turns out that playing with antiques is also risky, and if he spends millions of dollars, he buys back a fake, which is really a big loss.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Li Qiyu next to her holding up a sign and said loudly, "Seven million!"

The asking price of the handwriting just now was five million, and there may be no one present who understands this aspect, so no one asked for a while.

But when Li Qiyu called the price, everyone was silent for a few seconds, and then began to follow the trend of bidding, and after a while, a pair of handwriting from the Eastern Jin Dynasty was auctioned for more than 10 million.

Jiang Yaocheng said to Yan Yihan, "Look, this is the charm of your teacher, as long as it is something he recognizes, everyone will swarm on it!"

Yan Yihan also admires in his heart, an artist can do Li Qiyu's part, looking at the world, he may also be counted.

"Fourteen million!"

The last bidder called out a high price of 14 million, Yan Yihan thought that Li Qiyu would definitely offer a higher price, but he didn't expect that he retreated bravely, and finally the handwriting fell into the hands of the Taiwanese businessman.

Yan Yihan looked at Li Qiyu and said, "Teacher, don't you like that handwriting?"

Li Qiyu shook his head and said in a low voice, "I like it, but it's a pity that it's not the real thing!"

What?!Yan Yihan's eyes widened, isn't it genuine?!

Li Qiyu lowered his voice and said, "The authentic works unearthed by Wang Xizhi are all traceable now, and the "Seventeen Posts" on the stage is fake!"
