713 Antiques Auction

At noon, Lin Haocang returned to the villa in Repulse Bay.

For so long now, Lin Haocang has been talking about life with his sister every day, and his body is really tired.

Come back to the villa in Repulse Bay and have a good rest.

Recently, a new Russian chef has arrived in the villa, and lunch at noon is pure Russian cuisine.

Beetroot soup, black bread slices, canned veal, St. Petersburg-style meat... caviar

Luo Xueqiong looked at Lin Haocang curiously and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

"Where have you been lately?"

Looking at Lin Haocang's face carefully, her pretty face changed, "Her face is pale, she looks like she has kidney deficiency, hum!"

Lin Haocang reprimanded: "What do you know, recently I have been traveling all over the world on business lately, I am busy with work every day, I am tired to death, and I am still talking cool there, hurry up and come over and beat my back"

Luo Xueqiong raised her chin, "Hmph, beat it yourself"

Lin Haocang shook his neck and began to eat lunch, when his mobile phone vibrated a little, it was a message from Li Rose, telling him that there was a small auction today.

After a pause, Lin Haocang said to Luo Xueqiong, who was eating with his head buried in his head and glaring at him from time to time: "There is an antique auction, will you go?"

"Of course I went," Luo Xueqiong said without thinking, "When is it?"

"Come over and beat me on the back first," Lin Haocang patted his left shoulder.

Luo Xueqiong snorted lightly, and still came over to give Lin Haocang a slap on the back.

After lunch, Lin Haocang slept until the evening before getting up, took a simple bath, and then went out with Luo Xueqiong.

Soon the two of them came to a small auction venue at the Jiangdao Huangyan Auction.

Three rows of leather seats, arranged in an arc, can accommodate 60 people to participate in the auction, and at this time only half of the seats are sparsely seated. Don't underestimate these twenty or thirty people, they are not here to see the excitement, they are all important figures in the collecting world.

"Hi Mr. Lin, long time no see"

The foreign certificate sitting in the middle row hurriedly greeted Lin Haocang.

He is the son of Yang Yingcheng and the young owner of the Movie Emperor Group, but Lin Haocang is a big man who far surpasses his father, a billionaire at the level of 100 billion, and he admires and respects Lin Haocang in his heart.

Lin Haocang nodded at the foreign certificate and said with a smile: "Xiaoyang, long time no see"

The beauties around Yang Zheng were shocked, such a boy in front of him was at least ten years younger than Yang Shao, and he actually called Yang Zheng 'Xiao Yang', and Yang Zheng actually respected him so much!

Who the hell is he? How powerful is he?

At this time, Yang Zheng whispered to the woman beside him, "Xiao Chen, you don't need to know too much, in short, you are much stronger than Dad!"

Chen Yu gasped a few times after hearing this!

After a pause, she looked at Luo Xueqiong beside Lin Haocang and complimented: "Hello sister-in-law, what are you going to shoot tonight?"

"Huh?" Luo Xueqiong's face suddenly changed when he heard this, his pretty face turned red, he pursed his mouth tightly, and he didn't know what to say, but pinched Lin Haocang's left leg fiercely.

Lin Haocang coughed and smiled: "I forgot to introduce you, this is my sister"

Yang Zheng and Chen Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Lin, hello"

"Hello" After Luo Xueqiong said hello, she took the initiative to chat with Chen Yu.

In getting along, Chen Yu felt that this Miss Lin seemed to have a very good impression of herself!

I just said the wrong thing, and I misunderstood that they were a couple.

Miss Lin was friendly, which puzzled her.

At this time, Lin Haocang saw several acquaintances, namely Song Qi, Lei Hanwen, Huang Tao, Wang Wenchief, Wang Yaobing, Huang Yi... There are also a few doglegs that I don't know.

Song Qi, Lei Hanwen, Huang Tao, Wang Wenchief, Wang Yaobing, and Huang Yi didn't expect to run into Lin Haocang!

The humiliating scenes hidden in the memory emerged one after another, and his expression suddenly became a little heavy.

Lin Haocang smiled contemptuously at the six people, then didn't look at them anymore, and started chatting with foreign certificates.

At eight o'clock, the host entered on time, and at the same time, the pictures of the nine collections auctioned today appeared on the big screen in the back. The scene immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes were uncertain.

The vast majority of all the items in this auction are familiar faces, and some have already appeared in other auctions.

Therefore, everyone's estimation of their value and purchase intention will be very clear. In other words, the auction will have a high turnover rate, mainly because of the price.

The first collection is a gilded sitting Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty, which is in good condition, the law is in good condition, and the age is very old, with a starting price of 20 million. This Buddha statue has attracted several collectors from Guangdong Province.

Everyone was thinking about the price, Lin Haocang was very indifferent, looked around, and found that there was a foreigner present today. Around fifty years old, in a suit and leather shoes, he seems to be interested in every piece of the collection.

"Twenty-one million. โ€

The fat man Song Qi played his cards first, but it caused a chuckle, and it was obvious that the value of this Buddha statue was far more than the reserve price. Sure enough, there were soon bids of 25 million, followed by 30 million.

"Why is it so valuable?" Lei Hanwen didn't participate, but he was more nervous than anyone else, clenching his fists and muttering quietly.

"Two old people!" Lin Haocang's expression was very calm.

The price of Buddha statues has soared to 37 million, and the heat continues!

After several competitions, Lin Haocang finally won warm applause from the scene with an impressive result of 49 million.

"The Buddha has been saying that it has been forty-nine years, and today it is also a coincidence, and the auction price is 49 million, which is gratifying. โ€

The auctioneer's face is full of spring breeze, and he seems to be happier than buying and selling a house, which is quite touching.

Song Qi, Huang Tao, Lei Hanwen and others looked a little uncomfortable, and Lin Haocang showed off his wealth in front of them again, pretending to be forced.

"The second collection, which tells a romantic platonic love story, let's wait and see!"

As the auctioneer's voice fell, a painting appeared in front of everyone, which was Zhu Zhishan's "Autumn Fragrance Picture".

The paintings have been reframed, but it is not only the decoration that sits here, but also the collector is drawn to the content.

When it comes to Zhu Zhishan, it is inevitable that some people think of Tang Bohu, and there is no shortage of preachers, who lament the tragic ending caused by Tang Bohu's arrogance and personality.

The auctioneer roughly told the story behind "Autumn Fragrance", and the auction officially began.

Starting price, 30 million!

Yang Zheng frowned slightly.

Auctions in such places are usually higher than the selling price, and it is normal to sell for more money in addition to the high handling fee.

Lin Haocang was not interested, and did not speak!

"Fifty million. โ€

A light voice came from the crowd and everyone was stunned and everyone turned their eyes and found that it was a girl with a mask and

There was another chuckle at the scene, and more helplessness, which made at least half of the people who were interested in buying retreat.

"I'll pay 60 million!" someone gritted her teeth and raised the price.

"Ninety million. Luo Xueqiong immediately increased the price.

The auctioneers on the stage all took a deep breath, the appearance of this kind of collection will definitely cause fierce competition on the spot, and they thought that it would last for a long time, but now that they look at it, it is obvious that the results are almost coming out.

Eventually, Luo Xueqiong became a new buyer of "Autumn Fragrance Picture".

Lin Haocang glanced at Luo Xueqiong in wonder, how could he ask for a price, so fierce!

"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and Qiu Xiang has also won love and respect with her peerless elegance and gained eternal life. โ€

The auctioneer's praise made the corners of Luo Xueqiong's mouth rise slightly.

The auctioneer then presents a third piece.

An hourglass made by Guo Shoujing!

I have to say that this is a lot of effort in advance, and the auctioneer talks about the subtlety of the hourglass and the wisdom of the ancients, which takes longer than the previous two collections.

Lin Haocang observed everyone's dynamics left and right, the purchase intention was not strong enough, and some lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones. And Yue Buqun, who had completed the auction plan, sorted out the collar of his suit, and had the intention of leaving.

"Let's talk about the auction price, right?" said someone impatiently.

"That's a million. Someone estimated, Lin Haocang looked at Song Qi, a mentally retarded person, and smiled.

"Actually, this is our Italian imitation, and it really shouldn't be here. What Lin Haocang didn't expect was that the Italian actually spoke and could speak fluent Chinese.

There are also cultural battles, and this person's words caused public anger, and Yang Zheng sneered and said: "This gentleman said this, obviously because I don't understand the long history of our civilization. Long before Guo Shoujing, the ancients had a timekeeping method, such as the famous lotus drain in the Song Dynasty. Of course, further back, it can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty, that is, more than 2,000 years ago, and there were leaks at that time. Hehe, excuse me, where were you at that time. โ€

Good!

Some people applauded.

Lin Haocang pinched Luo Xueqiong's left cheek, and then leaned back, he was not very interested in this thing.

And the foreign certificate is so excited, obviously he really wants to take a picture, so let it be given to him!

"Sir, we are not talking about an ancient timekeeper, but an hourglass, and I am sorry for you for the fact that you only know a little about it. The Italian man scoffed.

"It's all timing, what's the difference?" asked Yang Zheng for a moment, annoyed.

"You know, it's the advent of glass that makes the hourglass so popular, and in this regard, Italy has an unbeatable advantage. Your hourglass is made of crystal, which is not as light and transparent as glass, and is cheap and popular. The Italian man argued.

"That's just a different material, so it shows more that my ancients were wise!"

Yang Zheng was thin-skinned, he was provoked in public, and he couldn't hang his face, so he got up and scolded loudly, but was pulled by Lin Haocang. If you quarrel again, the two of you will fight.

The auctioneer motioned for everyone to be quiet, and was also a little dissatisfied with the foreign man's performance, "Please listen to me, my introduction has just begun." The timekeeping method may be similar, but the precision of the metal, which is a modern process, appears on this small hourglass. Everyone, please take a look!"

At the behest of the auctioneer, a white-gloved staff member manipulated the base and split it into nine sections, lined up.

There was a low shout from below, and the foreign certificate was also stunned, looking at the auctioneer, "This, this, cut open?"

"It was Mr. Guo Shoujing's operation. The auctioneer explained.

Yang Zheng was very happy, because he slapped the Italian man in the face, and he was generally happy in his heart, "Ha, it didn't disappoint, it has always been the ancestor who is powerful!"

Seriously, foreigners are usually less sensitive to verbal stimuli, but the Italian man was agitated, his hands stretched forward, "Can I go on stage and watch it up close?"

"Of course, but don't touch it. The auctioneer is also arrogant.

When I went to the stage to see it, there was also a foreign certificate, and I actually discussed it with the Italian, and this kind of operation was completely impossible at that time.

"I really hope it's real, but the technology is incredible, could it be contemporary?" asked the Italian, puzzled, this time not to disparage, but to speak the hearts of many people, as if it was a little fake.

"Please take a seat, and now I solemnly introduce you to the real third collection. Before I do that, I would like to emphasize that the collectors were very generous and decided to give this hourglass as a giveaway!"

The auctioneer's words scared almost everyone, and when they saw the true beauty of the hourglass, they set a price range for the collection, between 10 million and 15 million, and maybe 20 million.

However, such a rare thing is actually used as a bonus, so where is the real collection?

"There were more than a dozen people on the stage just now, but they didn't see the protagonist of this round?" the auctioneer sold a pass, and then lifted the jade river picture from the stage.

What is it?

Too small to see clearly.

It's only the size of a palm, and there are some lines on it, like a small color map.

After the projector zoomed in, everyone was still in a fog, only Ling Gang seemed to notice something, and opened his mouth wide and didn't speak.

"Whether it's an hourglass or a base, it's actually a foil for this design. Speaking of this, the auctioneer was a little excited, "This is called the Yuhe map, with Guo Shoujing's seal and signature, in other words, everyone understands, it is the design and construction drawing of Tonghui River!"

The scene was full of experts, and Lin Haocang's neck stretched forward.

Brilliant colors, clear lines, precise proportions, and detailed logos are comparable to contemporary computer design masterpieces. At the same time, it is another form similar to miniature carving, which requires a very small brush and a magnifying glass to complete.

The Tonghui River is the last section of the Grand Canal, Guo Shoujing diverted the water of the Baifu Spring of Shenshan Mountain, and took advantage of the small water conservancy gap to intercept a number of rivers in a roundabout form without assuming an aqueduct, cleverly avoiding the diverted river valley and allowing abundant water to enter the capital.

This is an almost impossible task, and it is also a miracle in water conservancy engineering, and this map of the Jade River has extremely high research value.

However, the Italian man, accustomed to compliments, immediately changed his attitude, "Oh my goodness, my favorite culture, willing to be fascinated by it for the rest of my life!"
