Chapter 0471 Non-Profit Auction
Mo Ziheng's face sank when he heard this, obviously very displeased, but he couldn't refute it, although he didn't know much about antiques, feng shui, etc., but he still had some understanding of this Yan Binghe, knowing that he dared to say first in the industry, no one dared to say second.
So he thinks that no matter how powerful Mo Xiaosheng is, he can't be as powerful as Yan Binghe.
If he were given a choice, he would also choose Yan Binghe, not Mo Xiaosheng.
But this is his father's choice, and he can't help it.
Mo Xiaosheng didn't say anything when he heard Yan Binghe's words, he just smiled faintly, after all, ability is not something that can be won by lip service.
Now even if he says it, it is estimated that no one will believe him, so only the facts can see the superiority, which is stronger and which is weak, and only a short auction can see the real chapter.
However, he felt a little puzzled in his heart, he had listened to Mo Ziqin's words before, and now he heard Nangong Xilian's words, it seemed that this auction had particularly high requirements for appraisal ability.
But in an auction of this level, there is absolutely no fake, if you want to auction what you want, you only need to increase the price, if you think the price is high, you can abandon the auction, so why find someone to check it?!
Although he was puzzled, he didn't rush to ask, after all, he couldn't ask anything from a layman like Mo Ziheng, and when the auction started in a while, everything would be clear.
After waiting for a long time, the auction was ready to start, and the white-looking fat butler from before walked to the front hall and shouted, respectfully: "The auction venue is ready, please enter the venue!"
"Let's go, Mr. Mo!"
Mo Ziheng hurriedly called Mo Xiaosheng to follow his father and eldest brother.
Then Mo Ziheng took advantage of his father's chat with an old friend, dragged Mo Ziqin back, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, Yan Binghe is also here!"
"Master Yan is here too, where is it?"
Mo Ziqin's face was happy, and then he subconsciously looked around.
"Big brother, don't worry, listen to me. Mo Ziheng dragged his eldest brother a little helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Yan Binghe didn't come to help us, he was invited by the Nangong family!"
"What?"
Mo Ziqin's complexion changed, his face was blue and white for a while, and then his face darkened, and he said helplessly: "It's over...... This collection may belong to the Nangong family!"
After all, in this auction, their biggest competitor is the Nangong family.
If other buyers bid with their Mo family a few times, knowing that their Mo family has taken a fancy to this thing, they will definitely not dare to compete with the Mo family, but the Nangong family is different, they will definitely not sell the face of the Mo family, and they will definitely fight with the Mo family to the end.
And now that Yan Binghe is in the camp of the Nangong family, whether their Mo family has a chance to fight with others is not necessarily.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in frustration, and glanced at his father helplessly, not understanding why his father was so confused this time.
"Big brother, maybe it's okay, what if we're lucky and we just happen to be in the election!" Mo Ziheng said hurriedly, he obviously didn't believe in Mo Xiaosheng's ability either.
"Luck is based on strength!"
Mo Ziqin glanced at him, didn't say anything more, and then walked quickly to catch up with his father.
Mo Ziheng sighed slightly, and then walked up quickly.
The crowd followed the guide through the corridor until they reached a large house with a height of three or four meters at the back, which covered a huge area and felt like a large auditorium, with a rockery and a pool in front of the door, and two half-human-high stone lions on either side of the door.
After entering the door, there is a huge ink painting screen, and around the screen is a large hall, filled with exquisite wooden tables and chairs, enough to seat hundreds of people.
At the front of the hall is a red carpet with an intricately carved mahogany, and on the wall behind the platform hangs a well-framed landscape painting in dark yellow tones.
Mo Xiaosheng glanced at it casually, and then suddenly stunned, staring blankly at the landscape painting on the wall and shocked, this painting is one of the paragraphs of Gu Kaizhi's "Painting Yuntai Mountain", and it is by no means an imitation and a copy, it is a genuine product!
A true handiwork of Gu Kaizhi is hanging in the center of this hall so openly?
In addition to "bold", Mo Xiaosheng definitely couldn't think of the second word, if it was stolen, it would definitely be a huge loss.
But after thinking about it, he felt that he was really thinking too much, with the security in this manor, if he wanted to steal something from here, he was afraid it would be difficult to reach the sky!
"Please sit down according to the sign on the table!" After the fat butler walked up, he smiled at everyone with the microphone.
Their ranking of positions is naturally arranged according to the identity of each participant, and big families like the Mo family and the Nangong family are naturally ranked in the first row.
It seems that he was afraid that the Mo family and the Nangong family would have a conflict over who would sit in the middle, so the person who arranged the position specially divided the Mo family and the Nangong family on both sides, and there was an aisle in the middle.
Mo Xiaosheng followed Old Man Mo and Mo Ziqin and sat on the left side of the first row, while the Old Man of the Nangong family and his children and grandchildren sat on the right side of the first row.
There were more people who came than the Mo family, and a few of them Mo Xiaosheng didn't know each other, and they knew that most of them were brothers and sisters of Nangong Xilian or Nangong Yunxi.
And to Mo Xiaosheng's surprise, the people of the Zhang family actually came this time!
It was Zhang You'an and Zhang Youxi brothers who came, and Zhang Yihong, Zhang Yitang and Zhang Yiting came together, they sat in a row behind Nangong's house, Zhang Youan and Zhang Youxi brothers were chatting eagerly with the old man of the Nangong family and Nangong Xilian, and it seemed that the relationship was very close.
"On behalf of my family, I warmly welcome you all!"
At this time, the fat butler took the microphone and continued, "First of all, I apologize to you on behalf of my family master, because he is abroad now, so he can't come back to receive you in person, please forgive me!"
"How dare we blame the old gentleman, as long as the collection that was said before can continue to be auctioned!"
At this time, someone immediately shouted at the stage, and the others immediately echoed, after all, the main purpose of their coming today is for the collection, but after all, their voices are very restrained, one is because they themselves are high-quality people, and the other is because the people sitting here are either rich or expensive if they take out any of them, so no matter how high their status is, they dare not have the slightest presumptuousness.
"Auction, of course we have to auction, otherwise what are we organizing this auction!" The fat butler said with a smile, "It's still the old practice, this auction, we are just a third party, not a seller, and we don't take a penny of dividends, just to provide a free platform for everyone, after you finish the auction, just remember our family owner!"
"That's nature, we can't forget the old gentleman!"
The people below also chimed in.
Mo Xiaosheng was really stunned when he heard the fat housekeeper's words, he originally thought that the owner of this manor would open such an auction to make a profit, but he didn't expect that he would not take a penny, and the venue and services seemed to be free.
Judging from the scale of this auction, in terms of economy, this old gentleman will not only lose money, but also lose very seriously, but on the other hand, he has earned, and it is a big profit!
It is much more cost-effective to let the top group of dignitaries in the capital remember him and owe him a favor!
Now Mo Xiaosheng finally knew why this family head was able to occupy such a large piece of land in the capital.
"Without further ado, our auction today has officially begun, first of all, we invite our first auction item today, the masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty - Golden Cicada Jade Leaf!"
The fat butler said with a smile.
Golden cicada jade leaves?
Mo Xiaosheng was also stunned, his face was full of shock, you know, this golden cicada jade leaf is a national treasure unearthed from Wufeng Mountain back then, why did it appear at this auction?
After hearing the "Golden Cicada Jade Leaf", everyone present was also in an uproar and excited, obviously they were looking forward to this national treasure-level collection.
Soon, the hostess in the audience came over with a tray, and the tray was covered with a glass cover, and a golden cicada and jade leaf were placed on the black wooden platform under the glass cover!
Mo Xiaosheng opened his eyes and took a closer look, only to see that the golden cicada jade leaf was slightly different from the appearance of the national treasure that had been unearthed, but it was a genuine product! And it was a top-level genuine product! It was no less than the unearthed national treasure!
Mo Xiaosheng suddenly felt his heart stir, and hurriedly asked, "Third Master Mo, what you said about the finale of today's auction is this treasure, right?"
At this time, he knew that it was no wonder that Mo Ziqin was so anxious, it turned out that the things at this auction were really amazing.
But to his surprise, Mo Ziheng shook his head and said, "No!"
No?
Mo Xiaosheng was shocked again, this is already a national treasure-level thing, and it is not the supreme treasure they said in their mouths?
