Chapter 57: The Auction

All of this gives people an incomparable luxury and dignity.

"Handan Xiaoyou, this is the purchaser of this auction. Li Yu, Mr. Li!" Ming Shui smiled and led me to a brightly dressed middle-aged man. The middle-aged man in front of him had a fat head and big ears, and he looked rich. A set of jet-black wigs on top of his head, and a big belly.

"Mr. Li, this is Handan. Mingshui pushed me, I don't know what it means.

"Hello Mr. Li! My name is Handan. Out of politeness, I reached out to him.

"Hello!" he was not pretentious, but also reached out to shake my hand.

"Mr. Li, Handan, you talk. The old decay retired first. Mingshui patted me on the shoulder and turned to go out.

"Eh, Ming Lao!" "What kind of medicine is sold in this old man's gourd, who brought me here and left by himself?"

"Little brother Handan. I actually meant to come to you today. Li Yu beckoned me to sit on the sofa.

"Then I don't know if Mr. Li is looking for me...... What is the matter?" I tightened the stone in my arms, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Hehe, little brother don't be nervous. Feel free to do it with me. He smiled, "I'm here for that stone in your hand." ”

Sure enough, Mingshui, this bad old man, why is he talking about this too! Doesn't this push me into the fire pit?

"For my stones?"

"Hehe, yes. ”

"What's so strange about the stone in my hand? I guess you don't know about the stone?" I looked at him, and in his eyes, I saw an ambition driven by profit.

"I want to buy that stone. Li Yushuang glanced at the stone in my arms and smiled slightly.

"Buy, you still lack such a stone?

I smiled, it seems that he already knows what kind of stone I have...... That's where things get tough.

"Hahahaha!" Li Yu immediately laughed, "Little brother is really good at laughing." I don't lack stones, but what I lack is just you and yours...... If the little brother can fulfill me, it will be great, hehe...... If not, little brother, you should be able to see what I do in my room, right?

Hehe, I really don't eat this.

"Make a bid, and I'll give it to you if it's not too much. He straightened the wig on top of his head, with a look of "I have money, I am willful".

"Hehe, since Mr. Li said so...... Alright, I'll sell it!" I slowly untied the silk, and the stone was revealed little by little.

"What? really, will you sell it to me?" Li Yu seemed to be very excited, and suddenly jumped up from his seat and stared at me.

"But, I'm afraid that Mr. Li, you won't buy it after hearing my price. "The stone is completely open, and the translucent window shows a faint purple glow under the reflection of the sunlight, which is very beautiful.

"That's it, I'll give it!" he raised his hand and grinned.

"Five billion!"

"Poof! ahem...... cough cough ...... "After I finished saying this, Li Yuyi couldn't hold back, almost spurted out a mouthful of reverse blood, and suddenly coughed violently.

"Hehe, the little brother is really joking, this, five billion is too much?......"

"Isn't it the price you said I'll drive?" I smiled as I half-lay on the Italian rhinoceros leather sofa, cross-legged and enjoyed. To be honest, I really haven't sat on such an expensive sofa.

"You ......" He just wanted to get angry, but seemed to realize something, and quickly changed to his usual smiling face, "Hehe, little brother, can you lower the price?"

"No penny less!" I didn't want to sell it in the first place, how could the deliberately inflated price be lowered?

If this stone is sold to him, the price will not be much higher. If it is used for auction, there will be a lot of room for improvement. Although, it sold for less than five billion ......

I rewrapped the stone and got up to leave.

"Eh, little brother!" was stopped by Li Yu from behind.

"What??," I raised an eyebrow and squinted at him.

"No, we ...... We can discuss it again, don't you ......."

"No negotiable!" Before he could finish speaking, I held the stone in my left hand, opened the wooden door with my right hand, and walked out with my feet raised.

"Bang!" the loud closing of the door was tantamount to a slap in the face. I knew that from this point on, my troubles were coming...... But, Lao Tzu is not afraid.

It was crooked again, and it was hard to find the venue. It was discovered that the auction had already begun. The host standing on the stage is none other than Ming Shui. No wonder today dressed like this, it turned out to play an important role.

I saw him, and of course he saw me. While explaining a famous painting on the stage in front of him, Mingshui stretched out his finger and pointed to me, and then to my right.

I looked in the direction he was pointing, and the three of them were sitting in a row of VIP seats, and there was an empty seat on the side, apparently reserved for me.

Nodding to him, I hugged the stone and walked towards the empty seat.

"Look, the next piece of the collection was given to the auction house by a collector. As he spoke, Ming Shui took the blue and white porcelain bowl from the waiter behind him, "This is the blue and white porcelain bowl of the Tang Dynasty......

If you want to say that the auction item is the focus of the audience, then Mingshui is the soul of the audience. As an auctioneer, he is professional and very good at arousing the emotions of the buyers and the atmosphere of the audience. I really don't know that he, a master appraiser, will take over the auctioneer's business?

I can't help but become more and more interested in the old man Mingshui.

Ming Shui spat on the stage, depicting the Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain in a magical way, causing a group of collectors to compete for the auction. I sat down and looked at the old man with a forced smile.

In the end, the blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was pocketed by an old man at a high price of 2.3 million.

In my opinion, this price is slightly higher than the actual price, first of all, the production and painting of this bowl obviously belong to the folk firing, not the official kiln firing. The price can be auctioned, obviously thanks to the three-inch incorruptible tongue of the old man Mingshui. Those collectors also have a problem with their brains, don't they know that the last thing to be trusted in the auction house is the words of the auctioneer?

"Everyone's attention!" Ming Shui cleared his throat on the stage at this time, "The next lot is a peacock green glazed blue vase fired by the official kiln during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty purchased from overseas by the organizer of this auction!"

As soon as Mingshui's words came out, the audience caused an uproar.

In the midst of this noise, Ming Shui took a one-meter-high blue and white porcelain vase from behind with a smile on his face.

No wonder these people are staring straight at the bright water one by one.

"This peacock green glazed blue and white vase is one of the few pieces of porcelain in Chinese history that has been preserved well. The starting price is 1 million! Each increase is not less than 200,000 yuan! Please start bidding?" Ming Shui smiled slightly, holding the blue and white porcelain vase in his hand and looking at the audience.

The sensation caused by the auction item caused everyone to ignore one issue. Such a large blue and white porcelain vase, I don't want to know the weight, and Mingshui just holds it with his hands, and there is no trace of unbearable look. The strength of Ming Shui has obviously exceeded the level of ordinary people. How can such an old man come from so much effort?
