Chapter 530: The Dragon and Phoenix Present an Auspicious Jade Pendant
Xingxing, a little child, couldn't take his eyes off it, and didn't dare to make noise quietly.
The host was very satisfied with the reaction from the audience.
The more mysterious this antique is, the older it gets, and if you brainwash these people like this, you will soon be able to get a good price.
This storytelling, being able to tell the story in a subdued tone, whether it is true or not, can bluff the big guy, this is a basic skill that must be learned as an auction host.
When the host finished telling the story, the audience looked at Yu Pei from the original to just appreciating a little more surprise and greed.
Looking at these greedy eyes, the captain was delighted to see it in the background.
"Brother Jiang Chen, I didn't expect this jade pendant to be not only beautiful, but also have such a thrilling story behind it. ”
Lu Shanshan sighed.
Jiang Chen just nodded after hearing this, but didn't say anything.
Because of this jade pendant, he has already seen it with the system's treasure appreciation skills.
"Treasure Appraisal Open!"
Item Name: Dragon and Phoenix Cheng Xiang Jade Pendant.
Item appeared in 2020.
Item function: meaning that the dragon and phoenix are auspicious and beautiful.
Item Material: White Jade.
Item Details: High imitation jade pendant, a nameless modern work by a high imitation master.
Seeing that the high imitation, and it was only produced this year, Jiang Chen smiled.
Seeing that it was just a high imitation, Jiang Chen instantly lost interest, but Jiang Chen knew that it was a high imitation, which didn't mean that the big guy didn't know.
Stanway liked this jade pendant very much at the beginning, and now after hearing the story told by the host, he liked it even more, and his eyes never left the jade pendant.
"Mr. Jiang, this jade pendant is really good, are you interested in getting it?"
Stan Wei looked at the jade pendant on the stage and asked Jiang Chendao next to him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen shook his head directly and said:
"This jade pendant is a fake, a high imitation. ”
Hearing Jiang Chen actually pop out such a sentence, he couldn't help frowning.
Stanway looked at Jiang Chen, and looking at his determined face, it didn't look like he was lying.
He looked at Jiang Chen with some surprise and asked:
"Oh, Mr. Jiang, do you still know about antiques?
Although he asked, he still had some doubts in his heart.
After all, Jiang Chen doesn't look like a person who knows how to appreciate treasures, not to mention that even professional treasure connoisseurs have identification mistakes, let alone Jiang Chen, a young man.
It seems that being too young or too young can be a reason for others to doubt Jiang Chen.
And it's true that no matter what aspect it is, being older always makes people feel more experienced.
"I don't know very much, but I can see some clues, if Mr. Stan can trust me, it's better not to make a move. ”
Jiang Chen didn't make much explanation, just kindly advised, believe it or not.
"It's okay, it's okay, even if it's fake, it's all for the children of Goryeo, for the flowers of the motherland, it's all for the good of my Goryeo, and I admit it. ”
Stanway smiled and waved his hand.
Seeing that Stanway said this, Jiang Chen couldn't say anything more.
Jiang Chen didn't believe that this captain would really donate the money to Goryeo, and the person who could come up with a fake to deceive the audience didn't think that he was a person who could do good deeds.
"Since everyone is so interested in this jade pendant, let's not talk nonsense, the starting price of the jade pendant is 1 million, and the price must not be less than 500,000 each time!"
The host said.
As soon as the host said this, everyone also picked up their own starting boards, and it seemed that they were all vying for this jade pendant.
One by one, it seems that they are bound to win.
Seeing that everyone hasn't started filming yet, the big guy is full of gunpowder.
The captain can imagine the result of this jade pendant.
This is the reason why the auction needs a host, in addition to explaining the auction items, you must also have skills to arouse the interest of the auctioneer.
That's why some people still call the host of the auction the auctioneer.
These things that seem to be just lip service require skills, and they also need to control the rhythm of the scene, which is not so easy.
The host gave an order:
"Start shooting!"
"1.5 million!"
"2 million!"
"2.5 million!"
……
The host has just shouted to start.
Everyone in the audience raised their signs.
Piece after piece of white board was lifted high again and again like the waves outside the ship.
There were quite a few people who lifted it at the same time.
The host didn't look closely at who was the first auctioneer to lift.
No matter how fast they raise their cards, this auction is not about speed, but about the highest bidder.
"6 million!"
"6.5 million!"
Soon, the people in the audience made the board from dense and white, and now there are only a few people holding the whiteboard high.
Even if this jade pendant is real, it is only worth between five and eight million, so when it comes to five million, some people will stop shooting one after another.
In the end, to seven million, only Stanway and another brightly dressed middle-aged man were left screaming.
"Seven million!"
Stanway shouted with some difficulty.
Jiang Chen looked at the fine sweat on his forehead, Jiang Chen knew that this was almost to the bottom line of Stanway's heart.
But the man who was fighting with him seemed to have a lot of money.
Jiang Chen looked at his big golden teeth and knew that he was definitely the kind of super tyrant, and knew that Stanway would soon fall into disadvantage, and the jade pendant was destined to not be obtained.
Sure enough, people directly came to a fixed price: "Nine million!"
Nastanway's face turned pale.
In the lost eyes of the big guy, he silently put down the board in his hand.
Apparently out of his budget.
Seeing that Stanway regretted not being able to get the first lot, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nine million once! Nine million twice! Nine million three deals!"
The host picked up a small wooden hammer and hit it heavily on the wooden block, making the final decision.
It is a sign of successful trading.
"Congratulations to Mr. No. 38 on the success of the auction! Our dragon and phoenix are owned by Mr. No. 38, let us give the warmest applause to congratulate him. ”
Everyone applauded, but it seemed a little powerless to look at it.
"Hahahaha~ I got it, thank you, thank you!"
After the middle-aged man No. 38 got the bill given to him by the staff, he was very excited, and he stood up and waved to everyone.
Just getting an auction item is so excited, getting a piece of jade pendant is like owning the whole world, the big guys are looking at him with some envy.
Jiang Chen shook his head when he saw the big guy's reaction.
Stanway sat down and sighed a little disappointed when he saw that he had failed in the auction.
Seeing Stanway sighing, Jiang Chen comforted:
"Mr. Stan, don't sigh, believe me, this is a fake, it's not worth the pity if you can't get it, maybe there's a better treasure in the back. ”
"Alas, it's really a pity, borrow your good words, I'll take a look. ”
Stanway comforted himself.
It can be seen that Stan really likes jade.
The first lot sold for $9 million, which is $2 million more than the estimated maximum price of $7 million.
It is a good start, which makes the captain look forward to the performance of this group of dignitaries more and more.
This group of people seems to be even more difficult than I thought. ’
The second round of auctions begins......
In the second round, the auction item was a small object, which was served on a plate.
"Could it be another jade pendant?"
This one feels similar to the appearance of a dragon and phoenix in an auspicious jade pendant, and everyone can't help but be suspicious.
"Oh, the second shot is just as small, let me see what it looks like. ”
This time, the host did not directly lift the red cloth, but just secretly lifted it and took a look at it himself.
"This thing can only be described as two stones. ”
The host said in the expectant eyes of everyone.
The others were confused and didn't understand what the host was saying.
"Stones, what kind of antiques are stones?"
When the big guys were wondering what this was, Jiang Chen had already looked at it directly with the time system.
"Treasure Appraisal Open!"
Item name: Flint and steel.
Item appeared in 2010.
Item function: Friction and ignition.
Item Material: Mixed rare earth metals.
Item Details: Produced by a well-known man-made flintstone alloy factory in the country of Kawa.
Jiang Chen saw that this thing was still a little useful, at least it was good to go out to the wild to survive.
However, this seems to be the top support, that is, there is only a commemorative edition at most, a few hundred to thousands of dollars.
It's cheaper than that high imitation jade pendant, but it's more practical.
If Jiang Chen was asked to choose one of the two fakes, then Jiang Chen would not be able to choose a fake.
"Look, everyone, I've opened it!"
As soon as the host lifted the red cloth, two things that were polished smooth and yellowed in black resembled goose stones.
"Goosestone?"
Someone asked in confusion.
The host shook his head and said:
"NONO, THIS IS NOT AN ORDINARY GOOSE STONE, BUT TWO FLINTSTONES. ”
Everyone suddenly realized, but their eyes were calm, and it was obvious that they were not very interested in this flint and steel.
The moderator wasn't very worried.
Because then began his storytelling time.
"This flint and steel is not an ordinary flint and steel, I wonder if you still remember that there was a large-scale tomb robbery in Goryeo in the 19th century?"
The host suddenly told the story about the Goryeo Kingdom.
Everyone reminisced.
"When I think about it, it seems that this incident happened in Goryeo 50 years ago, and it is said that the entire royal cemetery was almost hollowed out. ”
"Yes, yes, I also remembered, it is said that the captain who touched the gold has not been caught so far, and only left a letter 'Z' in the cemetery. ”
"Could it be the most mysterious Captain Z in the legend?"
The memories of the big guys were hooked up by the host.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but start admiring this host in his heart.
