A few rounds after the start of the auction, the asking price had already broken 5,000.

Tang Shubai said: "At this price, I have to advise you, don't be too impulsive." ”

Sakamoto Hayashi raised his hand and rubbed the stubble on his chin, and muttered in a low voice: "It's more expensive." ”

Li Fengzhu was not too far away from them, so he naturally heard this conversation. She turned her head and gave each of them a slap. Then he looked at Sakamoto Hayashito, smiled mysteriously, and read the word "fake" with his mouth wide open and silently. Immediately after, Sakamoto Lin Zhi, who had dilated pupils, flashed his eyes, but deliberately skipped Tang Shubai, who also expressed surprise.

This naturally aroused Tang Shubai's curiosity more and more, and the cat leaned on the back of the front seat, patted Li Fengzhu in front of him, and asked, "You said that, do you have any credentials?"

Li Fengzhu originally leaned back slightly, and his upper body still maintained a forward-facing sitting posture. At this time, he had to turn around completely and remind him to be quiet: "Yes, you can't say it here, I'm not here to smash the field." ”

Tang Shubai had no choice but to keep this confusion in his heart, and slowly sat up straight.

Sakamoto Hayashi asked with a blank face: "Brother Shubai, what do you think of her words?"

Tang Shubai moved his mouth, but only uttered some useless syllables. rubbed his hands together and kept looking at the back of Li Fengzhu's head.

Sakamoto Hayashi waited for a long time, seeing that he didn't have any intention of drawing conclusions. And the asking price of 6,200 yuan has been repeated for the second time.

When Sakamoto Lin Zhi's hand made a leaping movement, Tang Shubai raised his hands first, covered his mouth completely, and said the words "But it doesn't hurt to believe" in his ear.

At this time, the auctioneer was raising the auction hammer and was about to shout for the third time. He noticed that Sakamoto Hayashito's hand was almost straight, and his eyes shot to the back row. Before the sentence "this ......" was finished, the half-empty hand "snapped" because of Tang Shubai's reminder, and went straight back.

The scene gradually became louder because of this scene.

The broad man, who was willing to bid more than 6,000 people, jumped up with a face as white as earth because of the sound of the thumping, and there was a dangerous smell of danger in the air.

Tang Shubai simply turned a blind eye to this, and just clapped his hands regretfully and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a thought." Then, to Sakamoto Hayashi Tomoho, he chattered: "The auction is not about visiting the store, it is not about buying more antiques with a sum of money." It is completely possible to bet all the funds on a fine product. ”

His remedies for the dead finally made a difference, and simple-minded people believed that the lot was real. And the "winner" still realizes that it is planted today, but the threshold of antiques is not to exchange money for it. Moreover, some people whispered to persuade him, no one dared to pack a ticket and say that he never looked away, or the wrong person was Tang Shubai.

###

By the end of the auction, the crowd dispersed.

Sakamoto Lin Zhi chased him outside the gate and asked Li Fengzhu, "Can you say it now, how did you see it?"

Tang Shubai was also curious, he felt that Li Fengzhu would not be an expert. But since you can see it, there must be something else that you have ignored.

Li Fengzhu saw him coming all the way quickly, so he smiled and pouted: "Speaking of reasons, naturally I have to ask Mr. Tang, an expert, first." ”

Sakamoto Hayashi Tomoto also turned his head to look at it with a confused gaze.

Tang Shubai put his hands in his trouser pockets, shrugged his shoulders, and kept paying attention to the clues on Li Fengzhu's face when he spoke: "As a birthday star statue of Yongle Year, the appearance is a little too standard. The image of a birthday boy with white hair and white beard, a forehead pulled forward high, and a long and curved crutch that we are accustomed to has not been used since its origins. The unification of the image of the birthday star should be in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The previous birthday stars were mostly with the image of a wishful lotus crown on their heads and a guigui in their hands. Of course, this is not to say that the birthday star in the Yongle period must not grow into the image we are familiar with. But in terms of counterfeiting, fakes are made for laymen, and they can't fool the rich in all aspects. I've seen the lots beforehand, and the materials are genuine. According to the auctioneer, this jade carving has been handed over several times, so it is very likely that the previous collectors increased the age in order to sell it for a good price. Each term pushes forward a little bit, and in the end it is self-defeating. In general, the buyer is not completely fooled, just a little more blood. That's why I advised Brother Lin Zhi to be more stable and not to bid easily. As he spoke, Tang Shubai's gaze wandered around Li Fengzhu, slowly turned his back to her, put one hand on Sakamoto's shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "One more point, the person who sent you the invitation is going back to China, do you know this?"

Sakamoto Lin Zhi took out the invitation card and unfolded it after realizing it, and wrote some oriental characters crookedly on it, Li Fengzhu could barely understand a few words, and it didn't mean anything when it was coherent. It's just that Sakamoto Lin Zhi tore it in two angrily, fell to the ground and said: "I've come all the way to China, it's not good to learn something, I want to learn this!" In a fit of anger, he turned around and went back to the hotel.

Tang Shubai was about to stop it, but he couldn't stop it, so he couldn't help laughing: "Such a small thing...... He didn't lose anything. ”

After finishing speaking, he looked upstairs and sighed, and shook his head a few more times. The real owner of the auction was one of Sakamoto's classmates when he was a child, who served as the head of the resident group in the Japanese Concession, and the consulate hired him as an economic adviser. Because he had something at home and was preparing to return to China in advance, the antiques, calligraphy and paintings collected in the apartment were inconvenient to transport through mountains and rivers, so he planned to convert them into cash. If he himself came forward and said that it was an auction of private collections, the businessmen and politicians in the Jinmen realm would easily inquire about who bribed him and how much they were worth. Then there is no oil and water to fish.

So, this person thought of inviting Fang Qian to match, join forces with a powerful auction house, and put the private treasure and the auction house's collection in the same scene, so that it can be done in a big way, earning both eyeballs and money. Naturally, Tang Shubai knew the truth of affection early on. Today's auctions are all real people, but there are only one or two pieces that can reach the height of toution. Fang Qian didn't dare to refuse, and he wanted to leave temporarily because he was afraid that someone would find out that he had been deceived in the future, which would be detrimental to his reputation as a collector. The only way to lose both ends is to escape.

Li Fengzhu, who was watching from the sidelines, was even more sure that this was a game of cheating money. If the organizer is a wolf from Japan, Tang Shubai is in trouble with it. I can't underestimate Sakamoto Hayashichi, who has a lot of conscience. Thinking about it, Li Fengzhu couldn't help but sneer.

The laughter made Tang Shubai suddenly remember and ask her, "How did you see it?"

"What?" Li Fengzhu deliberately filled his feet and walked down the street.

Tang Shubai followed unhurriedly two or three steps away from her, and said: "Although the word 'fake' is not completely accurate, it is also a bit interesting. ”

Li Fengzhu said with a smile: "It's so easy to get started by appraising antiques! I'm just opportunistic, because I'm embarrassed to show off, so I sold a pass." ”

Tang Shubai's frowning eyebrows were raised, and he nodded with a smile.

Li Fengzhu raised his right index finger, shook it twice at a shoulder-high position, and said, "At first glance, you just want to persuade Lin Zhi not to participate in the bidding too early, so as not to be passive." But I have an extra eye on the back of my head, and I can clearly see that you are jealous of me. This means that you have something in your mouth, but it is inconvenient to say it in front of me. What do you know the most about the inside story? Needless to ask, it must be about the Japanese. Also, I noticed that although you don't sit in the front row, you are still very popular. This shows that you are sitting here today and have the role of a town. In the same way, you are not willing to express this purpose in a big way. I thought that with these two clues, I would be able to guess eight or nine, but it turned out to be a bit clever. However, I have finally learned that the collection world is not a fake, but a half-truth that makes it easy to cheat high prices. ”

For example, in the first article, Tang Shubai has nothing to refute for the time being, but this second point, he thinks it is very arbitrary: "Can't it be because I'm very expert, so everyone acts according to my eyes?"

I never thought that Li Fengzhu didn't want to miss this layer, so he turned around and threw a sneer at him: "Yes, who is the editor-in-chief Tang! You are so knowledgeable, if it is really an old object of Yongle Nian, how can you allow others to openly get involved?"

At this time, Tang Shubai still didn't know the reason for Li Fengzhu's sudden appearance today, for fear that the purpose of her coming here was to reveal the inside story of the auction. So, he proposed: "Today, you are holding the pigtails again." However, this is just a rotten trick in the industry, and the deception is all beginners, so it's not worth the trouble of you, a big reporter. Let's discuss with you, I'll treat you to dinner, and you'll be merciful......"

Li Fengzhu turned his head, his ear-length curls danced to the back of his head with the wind, and he shook his head disdainfully: "Can you not get involved in my work?" If you are willing to agree, I will invite you to dinner in turn!"

"Deal! I pick the place. Tang Shubai was afraid that this was a momentary word, so he quickly decided to settle down. He smiled secretly in his heart, Yu public and private things are interesting.

In fact, this is also the result that Li Fengzhu wants, he didn't even do a half-push and half-finished scene, so he directly waited for Tang Shubai to lead the way by default.

After walking through an intersection, Li Fengzhu remembered again and asked: "You promised so quickly, I'm afraid you already have two hands to prepare, right?" I want to ask for advice, if I have to disclose the inside story, how should you stay out of the matter?"

"It's good, I know how to care about people. Tang Shubai was very satisfied, his eyes were completely cast to his side, and he smiled brightly and said, "The whole auction is the auction house that contacts the outside world. And I, or the person behind me, is only responsible for the introduction at the beginning. As for trading, antiques are also a kind of investment, and there will be risks when the investment is clear. Moreover, it is a rule that both silver and goods will not be returned. Assuming you expose it in the newspapers, I bet no one will go to the main theory. Even if there is, the person who came forward to negotiate for this kind of small turmoil is probably not as strong as me. ”
