Chapter 126: A middle-aged man with a black hat

Snuff bottles are a popular antique collection.

Because the production process involved in the snuff bottle is very comprehensive, calligraphy and painting, carving, inlay, jade, porcelain, enamel and other crafts can be found on it.

Suffice it to say, snuff bottles are the culmination of antique craftsmanship.

It is precisely because of this that the price of snuff bottles has soared in the past two years.

At this moment, this Qing Kangxi copper tire cloisonnΓ© enamel snuff bottle, in less than a while, the bidding has reached 1.2 million, and the price is constantly increasing.

"One million and three million!"

A crisp female voice sounded, Su Chen turned his head and looked at Jiang Qianyu: "Your grandparents fancy this snuff bottle?"

The person who bid just now was Jiang Qianyu.

"It's my grandmother, my grandfather only collects calligraphy and painting and ancient books, and my grandmother likes this kind of miscellaneous. Jiang Qianyu replied, and when he saw that the price in the field had risen to 1.35 million, he raised the sign in his hand and directly increased it to 1.5 million.

Seeing Jiang Qianyu with a calm face, Su Chen secretly said that the local tyrant is the local tyrant.

Everyone else has a price increase of 55,000 yuan, after all, this is the final deal, and the minimum price can be spent, she can do it, the bid is completely arbitrary, add 100,000 at a time, add 150,000 at a time, and everyone only feels a strong atmosphere of local tyrants.

Jin Qiaoqiao on the side obviously didn't expect the woman who was with Su Chen to be so rich, and couldn't help but think of Lin Wanqing who lived with Su Chen, and for a while, a faint sense of frustration rose in this little girl's heart, and the expression on her face darkened a little.

Jin Dashan, who was sitting next to her, seemed to sense his daughter's emotions, glanced sideways at her, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Others don't know what she thinks, but as Jin Qiaoqiao's father, how could Jin Dashan not know.

However, the women who appeared next to Su Chen were indeed too good.

Su Chen didn't notice this, his attention was mainly focused on the auction, after all, there were too many things involved behind this auction.

In the end, the snuff bottle was undoubtedly auctioned by Jiang Qianyu, and the final transaction price was 2.1 million!

This price made Su Chen stunned for a moment, after all, he thought that this snuffbox was at most 100,000 yuan, but now it was more than 300,000 yuan.

When the auctioneer made a final decision, Su Chen also quietly looked at Jin Dashan's expression on the side, and after finding that he had no reaction, he nodded slightly.

This snuff bottle was collected by him in cooperation with Jin Dashan, and later directly sold it to Lin Xiongye at a price of 1.5 million.

Now that the transaction price is 2.1 million, which is 600,000 yuan higher, he is worried that Jin Dashan is a little unbalanced in his heart.

If this is the case, then it is estimated that Su Chen's cooperation with him in the future may be considered for a while.

Jin Dashan, although he loves money, he also has his own principles, and his conduct is quite in line with Su Chen's appetite.

This snuff bottle also pushed today's auction to a small **, and the next few lots were a little lower, but the final transaction price was still much higher than Su Chen's expectations.

Soon, the time is almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and today's auction is about to enter the final stage.

"Everyone, next, is the highlight of our auction today!" Luo Qing's voice suddenly raised a notch, and he shouted excitedly, "Today's only finale auction item, the official kiln of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty produced peacock green glazed blue and white porcelain, the reserve price is two million, and each increase shall not be less than 100,000!"

Accompanied by Luo Qing's high-pitched voice, almost half of the people in the auction hall stretched their necks to look at the auction table in front of them.

Blue and white porcelain is one of the mainstream varieties of porcelain antiques.

Among them, blue and white porcelain is the most famous in the Yuan Dynasty, called Yuan blue and white porcelain, but in the Ming Dynasty, the name of Yongxuan blue and white porcelain is not weaker than Yuan blue and white porcelain.

Countless porcelain antique lovers, have collected a piece of Yuan blue and white or Yongxuan blue and white as a wish, now, a genuine Yongle period of blue and white porcelain appeared in front of everyone's eyes, so even if you are not a porcelain lover, at this moment the heart is also unbearable excitement.

Li Sen and Sun Wei, who were sitting in the middle, couldn't help but sit up straight at this time, obviously, the purpose of their trip was this blue and white porcelain.

As soon as Luo Qing announced the start of the auction, the auction price jumped overnight, and without waiting for most people to react, the latest bid had reached four million.

And the rise has not decreased at all, even Su Chen secretly smacked his tongue when he saw it.

This Yongle peacock green glazed blue and white porcelain was provided by a private collector, and Su Chen remembered that it seemed that there was a financial crisis, so he had to put it up for auction.

At that time, after Su Chen's appraisal, the estimate given to him in his heart was five million, but seeing the current bidding trend, I am afraid that five million is far from the bottom.

When the price reached six million, the bidding had begun to slow down, and obviously, at this time, some people who were not strong, or who felt that they were not worthwhile, had been eliminated.

What made Su Chen find it interesting was that one of the more ruthless bidders was actually Li Sen.

Otherwise, the eldest or youngest of the Xingchen Group is domineering, and every time the bid is three or four hundred thousand, he doesn't blink his eyes.

When the price reached 6.6 million, in addition to Li Sen, there was only another unknown buyer left who was still bidding.

Su Chen glanced at it, and the person was also in the corner, just three seats in front of him, and he could only see that he was wearing a black hat, looking mysterious.

However, it is not surprising that there are quite a few such collectors who do not want others to know their identities at auctions.

Soon, the price soared to seven and a half million.

Although the price is high, it is still not the bottom price of this blue and white porcelain, because this is Yongle blue and white porcelain.

"Eight million!"

Li Sen raised the number plate in his hand and shouted loudly, his breathing was short, and his eyes were a little red.

"Li Shao, eight million is almost the reserve price of this blue and white porcelain, no matter how high it is, it is not worth it. Sun Wei saw some red-eyed Li Sen and reminded softly.

Taking a deep breath, Li Sen nodded: "I know, if it's eight and a half million, and that guy continues to bid, then I'll quit." ”

The purpose of wanting to buy this blue and white porcelain was just to surprise his grandfather, but although he was the young owner of the Xingchen Group, Li Sen's own funds were not abundant, and he really couldn't afford it.

But what he didn't expect was that the mysterious buyer actually directly added 500,000, which cut off his back road at once.

"Forget it, tomorrow there will be a piece of Longshan black pottery, this blue and white porcelain, let it be given to others. Li Sen was depressed, only feeling that his luck had been too bad recently, but he could only comfort himself like this.

In the end, this Yongle peacock green glazed blue and white porcelain was auctioned by the mysterious buyer for 8.5 million.

After the auction, Su Chen first accompanied Jiang Qianyu to the backstage and took out the snuffbox she had auctioned.

"There's another painting tomorrow that my grandfather wanted. Downstairs, Jiang Qianyu said to Su Chen in a slight voice.

Su Chen naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Qian's words, and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait for you here tomorrow." ”

"Okay, then I'll go first. ”

After sending Jiang Qianyu away, he was about to go back again, but when he turned his head, he saw Jin Qiaoqiao standing behind him with a black face, which startled him.

"Yo, just send it away, don't you send others home?" Jin Qiaoqiao said in a strange tone.

Su Chen didn't know what was wrong with this chick today, so he said angrily: "I don't have a car, how can I send it, do you want someone else to drive me back?"

Jin Qiaoqiao's face changed again when she heard this, and she snorted: "Look at what it means, if you have a car, you will send it." ”

After speaking, her beautiful eyes glared at Su Chen fiercely, and then said heavily: "Dad, let's go back, I'm hungry." Then he didn't look at Su Chen, and walked directly past him.

"What's wrong, where did I offend her?" Su Chen had three big question marks on his head, and his face was confused.

However, Jin Dashan smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Chen, then I will go back with Qiaoqiao first." He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "If you have time, come and sit down at my house." ”

"Okay, Uncle Kim. Su Chen agreed casually.

After dealing with these trivial matters, he came to the top floor of the building again, where Lin Xiongye and Lin Wanqing were waiting for him.

"Xiao Chen, today's auction was a success. Lin Xiongye couldn't stop smiling on his face, obviously satisfied with this auction.

Su Chen nodded, and was about to say something when he saw a middle-aged man with a black hat passing by with a box.

The appearance of the middle-aged man flashed in his eyes.

Su Chen didn't pay attention at first, but when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly turned his head to look, only to find that the middle-aged man had disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiongye couldn't help but ask when he saw Su Chen's strange behavior.

"Ah, nothing, maybe I read it wrong. Su Chen lowered his eyebrows and shook his head slowly.

He always felt that the middle-aged man just now seemed to have seen it somewhere.

chatted with Lin Xiongye and Lin Wanqing for a while, mainly about some trivial matters of the auction, and after that, the three of them prepared to go home together.

However, halfway through the car, Su Chen's phone rang, it was Du Chenghai's phone.

"Brother Su, do you have time in the evening?" Du Chenghai's bold voice came from the other end of the phone.

After thinking for a while, Su Chen said, "Tonight, I'm fine, Brother Du, are you okay?"

"It's okay. That's right, I contacted an antique collector in the evening, ready to buy a treasure, no, I want to ask your brother to give me a palm. ”

"Well, tell me where it is. Su Chen only thought for two seconds before agreeing.

"Okay, well, brother, I'll pick you up at eight o'clock. ”

"Good. ”
