Sotheby's, a world-famous auction house, mainly auctions art and antiquities, held its first auction in 1744, after more than 200 years of development, Sotheby's has become a world-famous brand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After a period of preparation, on April 18, the Sotheby's Oriental Art Auction was officially held.

The auction will start at 10 a.m. and last all day. By 9:55 a.m., most of the people at the auction hall had arrived.

At this time, a man and two women walked in from the gate of the venue, which quickly attracted the attention of many people in the venue.

The man is an Oriental man, about 20 years old, handsome and tall, but although the suit is a famous brand but not a luxury product, it looks a little low-key.

The two women, one tall and one short, Westerners, were both dressed as professional women, and their looks were amazingly beautiful!

What's even more strange is that the tall woman still holds the man's hand, not a ceremonial support, but a real support with some strength.

The young man seemed to be in bad spirits, but in terms of size, he didn't look like a sick person.

Fortunately, there are a lot of old men here, but this will be almost attracted by the upcoming auction, and after two glances at the strange trio, no longer pay attention.

The venue was not crowded, with almost a third of the seats empty.

This is normal, the auction is not a supermarket sale, and there are not many rich people who like to huddle together at the auction.

Walking into the auction hall are Zhang Nan, Nicole Lopez and Jenny Hathaway, one invitation can enter two people, but one more is not a problem.

Many wealthy people participate in the auction as agents, but there are also those who like to follow several staff officers in person, not to mention that Zhang Nan will still be a patient.

What a patient: frailty!

After hysterical excitement and venting, even a young man as strong as a cow will be so weak that he will be unsteady to walk!

In the parking lot the day before yesterday, Zhang Nan was taken by ambulance to a private hospital: she was tired, and Nicole was not at ease.

Zhang Nan felt that he was not in a very good state, and he had heard of this situation a few times: after extreme anger and extreme excitement, this situation sometimes appeared.

It's just that the spirit and energy are consumed too much, which needs to be replenished slowly.

However, there are not many Western medical methods, so he should be hospitalized.

Forget it, this state is still flashing - private hospitals can't force people to stay, and Zhang Nan was sent back to the hotel by ambulance.

Ni can use the relationship to invite a genuine old Chinese medicine doctor from Chinatown for Zhang Nan. After some examination, he was prescribed a pair of qi-replenishing Chinese medicine and a diet list.

You can't boil Chinese medicine in a five-star hotel, and you can't do Chinese food therapy, but Chinese medicine will let people send it.

With money, everything is solved.

At this time, Nicole was still worried about Zhang Nan's state, and even planned to cancel the trip to Xiangjiang.

However, Zhang Nan, who had already read the auction materials, disagreed--there was one thing in the materials that he had to get! Otherwise, he would not have a chance until '97 and 2016.

What to do?

The old Chinese medicine doctor said that Zhang Nan's state of qi tonifying Chinese medicine should be drunk for a week, and the diet should be insisted on for at least a month, otherwise the root of the disease will be left!

"Nicole, prepare a private charter flight to Xiangjiang for me, with Chinese medicine and nurses. ”

Seeing Zhang Nan's resolute attitude, Nicole had to agree and immediately prepare.

It's still the same sentence: as long as you have enough money in the United States, there are really not many things that can't be done!

"Mr. Allen, you should give me a raise, or hire an assistant. ”

When everything was arranged, Nicole began to grumble.

He is a financial advisor, not a life assistant.

"Dear Nicole, that's not a problem, I'm going to ask you to work for me in the future, and Jenny will be my assistant. ”

Zhang Nan is not a coward.

……

Zhang Nan sat between the two beauties. But he barely spoke—his throat was still dumb, and it hurt a lot.

When the white-gloved auctioneer warmed up the stage, the first lot was picked up by the staff.

Zhang Nan didn't look at the stage at all at first, but looked at a thick book of lots in his hand.

Lot 1 page 1 item 1: Japanese army general Yamashita Fumi's saber.

By the way, this so-called "Oriental Art" auction is full of RB katana and saber.

Yamashita Fengwen, the tiger of Malay. However, after the July 7 Incident on July 7, 1937, this thief was ordered to lead his troops to the capital of China to participate in the war and was promoted to lieutenant general.

He commanded the post to attack Nanyuan, Zhanchang Xindian, and Langfang, and massacre Chinese soldiers and civilians. In July 1938, Yamashita was reappointed as the chief of staff of the "North China Front" of the Japanese invasion of China.

In July 1940, Yamashita was transferred back to Tokyo to take up the post of Director of RB Aviation.

Isn't this devil's saber kept at West Point?

Not surprisingly, which devil general has only one saber?

The standard general saber of the golden knife thread, but not many years, the craftsman is good, and the book introduces the famous local swordsmith of RB in the 30s.

Zhang Nan has not studied much of the RB saber, but this knife is still in circulation: it was auctioned by a descendant of a US Army colonel.

At the beginning, the colonel witnessed the surrender of Yamashita Bongbun in Baguio City, Philippines, and the saber handed over by Yamashita Bongbun at that time returned to West Point, and it is said that there are three other sabers, which were divided among the American generals.

Whether it is the saber of the Malay Tiger or not, it is not wrong to be a general's sword.

And since the Americans are so promoted, in the end, even if it is fake, it will come true.

There were also several groups of RB people in the venue, who were talking there in a low voice in the Japanese that Zhang Nan hated.

glanced at the other party a few times, and the other party nodded after discovering it.

Zhang Nan also nodded slightly: The auction hall has not yet started bidding, and there is no vindictiveness.

Moreover, RB people have a very good habit in the auction house!

Attention: "Very good" is not a particularly derogatory term, it is a positive one!

When the lot is a wandering RB antique or artwork, the RB people who are bidding at the same price will often give in to each other, and once the price is too high, even if the national treasure level cultural relics, even if the money in their pockets is still very rich, the RB people will often stop in moderation and generally refuse to be the wronged leader.

Zhang Nan nodded in greeting, he-mother-of-the-girl!

Zhang Nan quickly wrote a paragraph on the brochure in his hand with a pen, and let Nicole and Jenny take a look: Don't expose that I am from Huaxia.

The two beauties nodded in understanding.

As expected: the price of the saber started at $80,000, and when the price rose to $100,000, Jenny raised the price on behalf of Zhang Nan.

It's not much each time, a thousand dollars a step up.

Glancing at the group of RBs: they seemed to have agreed that only one representative would bid against the others.

When the two sides looked at each other, the RB people nodded again, Zhang Nan, this kid is a bad thief, and he learned what he learned in the movie, and he nodded in Japanese style.

Only two Americans were left to bid against him, and when it came to $155,000, the Americans gave up.

Zhang Nan's bid was successful: but with a 10 percent handling fee, he bought the saber for $170,000.

"Why do you have to buy this RB saber?" this is what Nicole asked Zhang Nan yesterday.

At that time, Zhang Nan ticked the photo of the saber in the brochure, which meant the lot that must be won.

"One, it's fun, and two, I'll wait for the RB people to exchange things in the future. ”

But whether to change it or not, it is Zhang Nan's final say.

RB people also have a good habit: they don't buy sky-high prices, but RB guys sometimes exchange things of similar value with you.

Artwork, we don't want to give the crown car, then it can only be an exchange between artworks.

(Originally, I wanted to write more about the plot of the auction RB knife.,But the more I think about it, the more boring it becomes.,Keep it simple.,Just this chapter.,It's expected to add half a chapter in the next chapter.。 It's a bit of a spoiler, the key is that it's been double opened continuously for more than half a month, and people are a little sick and in bad spirits. ）
