Chapter 65: Amber Appears
Feng San said in a deep voice: "Not to mention the provincial capital, it is as small as a county seat, as large as the entire country, and all over the country. In the underground circle, the dispute between you and me has never been interrupted. Speaking from the heart, who doesn't want to live a stable life, but as long as they relax a little, it is unknown whether they can see the sun tomorrow again. ”
Mu Hao secretly sighed in his heart, in fact, whether it is the underworld or the white way, or the officialdom and business circles, which circle is not like this. Everyone is always ready to fight to the death for their own interests, and every corner will not end up being a life-and-death.
In his previous life, in the days when he was working hard in the business world, he saw many cases of intrigue and murder, but those disputes were not as direct and bloody as the underground circle.
hesitated, but saw a host in a suit appear in front of the rostrum. The man was slightly chubby, had a kind face, and looked polite.
I saw him holding a microphone in his hand and said to everyone in the audience: "Everyone, I am Fang Zheng, the host of today's auction." Welcome to Tanglin Money. Today is our 32nd edition of the Collectibles Trade Conference. As we all know, we have many rare treasures here, but the ones that can be recommended for auction are all peerless, and I believe that our collection today will not disappoint everyone, and it will definitely be a feast for your eyes. ”
As soon as his words fell, there was a round of applause from the audience. Raising his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, Fang Zheng continued: "Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm is so high, I believe that our auction today must be very exciting, and now we have asked Miss Manners to send the first collection to the stage." ”
After speaking, two delicate beauties walked up to the stage in well-fitting cheongsam, each holding a delicate carved dragon vase in their hands, and placed it on the booth, and then bowed deeply to everyone and turned to retreat.
The host Fang Zheng came to the front of the vase and introduced: "Ladies and gentlemen, in front of us is a carved dragon vase, this pair of vases, the vase is 20 centimeters high, it is said that the royal special utensils, has a history of nearly 1,000 years. ”
Pointing to the body of the bottle, he continued: "The overall appearance of this pair of vases is smooth and beautiful, and the dragon pattern in the relief is vivid and like a real dragon, symbolizing royal majesty." It is a rare treasure, and below, we invite Mr. Li Wanlong, the honorary president of the Wuchang City Collection Association, to take the stage to estimate the vase for us!"
As soon as his words fell, he saw a middle-aged man in a long robe with gold-rimmed eyes stepping onto the stage, and first bowed deeply to everyone in the audience: "Wan Long is not talented, I am very honored to be the treasure connoisseur of this auction, the judgment of the treasure is really personal experience, you can learn from it, don't take it seriously." ”
As soon as his words fell, Mu Hao heard someone behind him whisper: "Elder Li is still so humble, in this Wuchang City, who can be the best in terms of collection identification." ”
"Yes, I heard that a few days ago, an ancient tomb was excavated in the suburbs of Yanjing City, and Li Lao was specially invited to go to screen, it is said that Li Lao only took less than half an hour to determine the age at the scene, and even the owner of the tomb was clear and how he died. ”
"Isn't it, how can people like him make mistakes? ”
"Don't talk, hurry up and listen to his treasures. ”
Li Wanlong circled the carved dragon vase for a long time, picked up the vase and looked at it a few times, and then turned back to the audience and said: "According to my judgment, this is a rare treasure made during the Ming Dynasty, and the reserve price I gave is 180,000." ”
Hearing the price, Mu Hao was stunned. 180,000! That doesn't sound like a lot of money. But he knew very well that the price of goods was less than a tenth of what it was before he was reborn.
In other words, the value of this collection is as high as more than 1.8 million Huaxia coins in the previous life. It seems that what Fangzheng said is true, and what can be put on the table here is definitely a rare treasure.
As soon as the host's voice fell, someone shouted: "I'll give 185,000!"
"Okay, the gentleman at Desk 11 is asking for 185,000, has anyone given a higher price?"
"I'll give 190,000!"
"The 23rd platform is out of 190,000!"
"I'll give 195,000!"
“......”
After a round of competition, the pair of vases was sold for as much as 280,000 yuan, which somewhat surprised Mu Hao. It seems that his amber will definitely get a very reasonable price here.
The next few pieces of the collection are a night pearl and a horse of Tang Sancai. There are even prawns painted by Master Qi in modern times, which are really all-encompassing and all-encompassing.
At the auction site, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic as the collection was sold. Everyone scrambled to bid as if the money was blowing in the wind.
When the ninth piece was brought to the table, everyone present was in a state of flux. It was a golden Buddha, and the Buddha statue was carved to life. The forehead is high and wide, frowning, and the law is majestic. The rim and the smooth pleats complement each other, making it a masterpiece of excellence.
The starting price of this collection was as high as 250,000 yuan, and in just a few points, the bidding price soared all the way to 300,000 yuan.
However, what Mu Hao didn't expect was that this rare treasure would be photographed by He Liang. What shocked him the most was that after He Liang called for bids, no one in the entire auction hall dared to bid anymore. Instead, let the auctioneer finish the countdown and make the final decision.
Mu Hao could clearly feel Fangzheng's disappointment and helplessness, and it seemed that this auction price was much lower than his psychological expectations.
Fortunately, he was able to adjust his mentality in time, and came to the stage with a smile again, he said: "The collection we launched today is not only unexpected, but also a precedent for our Tanglin Qian Zhuang auction. Because he is not an antiquity, but a newly discovered piece of amber rough, carved by the master carver Mr. Ji Minxue. Although it is a fresh object, it is in excellent condition, and we have asked Mr. Ji to explain it on stage. ”
As soon as his voice fell, he saw that Ji Minxue, accompanied by two cheongsam beauties, personally held a small wooden box of exquisite golden silk nanmu and slowly walked to the front of the stage.
He stood firmly, glanced around, and suddenly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you should know that for so many years, I have not personally introduced any of my collections, but this one is the only one that I have a soft spot for. The reason for this is because I think it's probably the best work of my life, and I want people to give it a fair price. ”
"What? Master Ji actually came to the stage in person, this is a rare situation in a thousand years. ”
"Yes, Master Su Wen Ji is a very noble person, and he cares very much about his character, this collection can make him pay so much attention, it seems that it must be a peerless masterpiece in his life!"
"That's true, it seems that we are here today, and the item that can make Master Ji so admired must have something unique about it!"
