41: Yuwat
The auction continued, Wei Wu and Lin Haoran hit it off at first sight, and when they were chatting energetically, Wei Wu's girlfriend said a word, and the two of them closed their mouths and concentrated on watching the auction bid.
Lin Haoran basically doesn't know anything about antique jade, but he has a unique secret method, which no matter how experienced a treasure connoisseur is, it can't be compared. That is, he can feel the soul of the antiquity, the qi of the spirit.
The auction was already halfway through, and although there were beautiful things, nothing caught Lin Haoran's attention, but Lilac called the price twice for a so-called Qing Palace incense burner. Wei Wu memorized antique jade knowledge for a year, and everything was eager to try, but he was stopped by his girlfriend, which made him unhappy.
The auction was nearing its end, and Yang Yuyi, the proprietress of Wanbao Building, suddenly led an old man in.
After whispering a few words to the person presiding over the auction, Yang Yuyi left again.
"Friends, today's auction has ended. However, the boss Wan was in urgent need of raising a sum of money, so he temporarily brought a batch of collections for auction. However, due to the urgency of the incident, we did not have time to appraise the collection he provided. Therefore, we do not make any guarantee for these collections of his, nor will we charge any fees from buyers and sellers. It's just a matter of borrowing a venue to raise money for him, and I'm also obliged to assist on the side, so the authenticity of the collection and the price have nothing to do with the building. After Yang Yuyi left, the host pulled the old man on stage and said.
"I believe that there are also people here who know Boss Wan, that's right, he is the owner of the largest antique jade shop in the city, Wan Junrong. Okay, I won't talk about gossip, let's start now, they are all old friends, and if there is something agreeable, they will actively bid, and they should help Boss Wan. After the host finished speaking, Wan Junrong had already taken out a long item in the box.
The host set up a microphone for Wan Junrong, and Wan Junrong held up the object in his hand and said: "One piece of jade Ruyi in the Ming Dynasty, the reserve price is 500,000 yuan." ”
Probably this jade Ruyi is a good thing, and now the old man has asked for a price before he can see it, and in a moment he called a high price of 1.5 million. Wei Wu also kept bidding, this time his girlfriend didn't stop him, but Lin Haoran held down Wei Wu's sign at one and a half million, shook his head and didn't let him raise the card.
"Doctor Lin, you also know antiques?" Wei Wu was a little anxious.
"I don't understand, but it's not worth the price. Lin Haoran said.
"If you don't understand, how do you know?" Wei Wu said.
"I don't understand, but Boss Wan must understand, and now the asking price is three times his reserve price, which is beyond common sense. If this thing is really worth a higher price, he will definitely not set a reserve price of 500,000. Even if he saw it wrong, it wouldn't be that far off. Lin Haoran said.
"Okay, listen to you. "I don't know why, Wei Wu actually believed Lin Haoran, who he had just met.
In the blink of an eye, Boss Wan has photographed a few things. But the old guy seems to be really waiting for money, and he really brings a lot of collections.
"The next jade wat is said to be Di Renjie's court board, and it is also the only jade wat in Tang. The reserve price is one million. Boss Wan said.
Boss Wan's collection has been bidding very enthusiastically just now, and the selling price is more than twice the reserve price. But no one asked for this jade wat price, is it too high?
"Ladies and gentlemen, Yuwat, is not only a collection, but also a town house artifact. You must know that wat is only available to those ministers who can meet the emperor, and the royal qi can avoid all yin and evil qi. Di Renjie is a famous appearance, everyone knows it, his heroic and righteous spirit is a nemesis of yin and evil crumbs. Boss Wan explained.
"Boss Wan, can I take a look?" Lin Haoran, who had never asked for a price, said suddenly.
"Of course, this gentleman, please. "Boss Wan didn't expect that it was a young man who was interested in this play.
Lin Haoran took the jade wat and felt a shock in his palm, and immediately felt a burst of majestic qi gushing out. Sure enough, it's a good thing, and it's awe-inspiring.
"Brother Wei, this thing is very good, why don't you ask for a price?" Lin Haoran said to Wei Wu after returning to his seat.
"Brother, do you know, history has never said that Di Renjie used a jade wat, and besides, even if he really used it, this jade wat is not worth the price. Wei Wu said.
"History is written by people, how do you know whether what the ancients wrote is true or false, just like what you write now, after a thousand years, who can be sure that it is true? This thing is very suitable for your family, you should take a picture. Lin Haoran said.
"Hmph, people who don't understand anything actually ask others to take a million to buy a stone that can't be seen and can't be played with, it's really laughing off other people's big teeth. Shen Yangtian next to him sneered.
"I don't understand, you know, this thing is 10,000 times better than your 700,000 jade pendant. Lin Haoran said indifferently. 、
"If you know, why don't you take a picture? Oh, forgot, you don't have the money. Not even a million, why are you here? Aren't you ashamed?" Zhu Yanni interjected again.
"Brother Wei, if you don't shoot, I'll shoot. However, if your family wants to buy this thing from me in the future, they will have to give two million. Lin Haoran said.
"Haha, it's really funny, why do people want to buy you this broken slate with you for two million?" Shen Yangtian laughed when he heard it, and Wei Wu also felt that this brother had suddenly become so funny.
"Brother Lin, shoot if you like. Wei Wu said.
"Boss Wan, since no one is bidding, can I buy this jade wat at the reserve price? Lin Haoran said to Wan Junrong.
"Yes, this gentleman, do you really want this?" Wan Junrong said.
"Take the money. Lin Haoran took out a card and said.
In everyone's shock, Lin Haoran paid one million to buy this ordinary jade wat like a stone.
Zhu Yanni stared at Lin Haoran very angrily, she was very angry, it turned out that this guy didn't buy a decent thing for herself before, not because he had no money, but because he was stingy.
"The last thing is a piece of calligraphy. Wan Junrong took out a calligraphy like a ghost painting and said, "This piece of calligraphy has neither a payment nor a seal, but the charm of the word, I think it is Master Huaisu's "Bitter Bamboo Shoot Sticker", as for whether it is or not, I don't know, so please ask Sun Lao to help me set the reserve price." ”
Sun Xilian, who Lin Haoran had seen that day, took the text panel, picked up a magnifying glass with a few old men and looked at it for a while, and discussed a few words, Sun Xilian said: "Master Huaisu's authentic works are very rare now, and there have been no auctions of his works in recent years, so there is really no reference target." However, last year, a copy of a Qing man sold for a million dollars. Therefore, this unprinted character is actually really worthless. However, this painting really has charm, and there is a quaint atmosphere, I am willing to collect it for 300,000 yuan. ”
