Chapter 203: The Golden Toad Arrives
The auction went ahead as scheduled, and it didn't seem to be affected by what had just happened.
In fact, this group of people already knows what is happening upstairs, but it is none of their business, hanging high, no matter how much trouble is upstairs, they are unlikely to be injured, this group of people knows better than anyone.
Back in the box, apparently the little tree had already discussed with the people in the auction house, and they didn't make trouble or smash the things in the auction house, so it was treated as nothing.
Looking at Zhu Zhengwen's expression again, he seemed a little absent-minded, probably because he was worried about what happened just now.
Zhao Yang was very calm, although it was the first time he had experienced such a thing, but it was not the first time he had seen a scumbag, he patted Zhu Zhengwen on the shoulder, and said directly: "Don't think about it, if there is anything that can't be handled well, I will help you." ”
With Zhao Yang's words, Zhu Zhengwen's expression eased a lot, he nodded, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Okay, don't talk about this, the auction has to continue." ”
As the two of them spoke, they looked at the audience, and at this time the audience had already pushed the legendary antique onto the stage, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, they didn't know what it was, but after all, they had been hung up on their appetites, and they had waited for nearly ten minutes, and they wanted to see what kind of treasure it was.
Zhu Zhengwen couldn't help but look at the stage, and the thing covered with the red cloth also made him very curious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone will be interested in this thing, this thing we just got from a collector, it can be said that this thing has never been seen before, this thing is called the five-legged golden toad!"
"Whoa!" the auctioneer pulled open the red cloth covering it, revealing the contents in front of everyone, and everyone was stunned.
"This ......" The people in the audience talked a lot, and Zhao Yang was also a little surprised, because this five-legged golden toad is not uncommon, on the contrary, it can be found in almost every antique store.
He's not unusual, it's a rotten street.
Zhao Yang's brows furrowed, he was half-leaning back in his chair, his thoughts were more rational, this thing was too common, and it couldn't attract him at all.
Just as he was thinking this, Zhu Zhengwen beside him stood up suddenly, and he said directly: "I want this thing."
"Do you want it?" Zhao Yang reminded him: "This thing is not pure gold, it is estimated that the outside is only a layer of gold plating, and it is not worth buying at all." ”
But Zhu Zhengwen shook his head and said: "Zhao Yang, I may not know about other antiques, but I have seen this, this is a five-legged gold toad, a kind of stone statue gilded, it is not metal, but hand-carved, you take a closer look at the fineness of this thing." ”
Listening to Zhu Zhengwen's words, Zhao Yang's expression gradually became positive, and at this moment, the host also began to introduce this thing.
"You may think that this thing is too common, but I have to tell you that this five-legged golden toad is not a traditional metal or glass product like everyone sees, but comes from the most primitive process, carving, and the dish material for this carving is the other mountain stone, a kind of stone that only exists in legends. ”
"Of course. The auctioneer chuckled, pressed his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "This kind of stone may not be known to everyone, so you don't have to force it, the collector also said, he doesn't expect this thing to be sold for a high price, he just hopes that this thing can get into the hands of a destined person." ”
"The starting price is 100,000 yuan, and each increase cannot be less than 20,000 yuan, and the auction begins. ”
At this time, Zhao Yang also knew that this thing was worth "three million." ", no more, no less, but for a handicraft of epochal significance, it cannot be measured by money.
"I want to. Zhu Zhengwen looked up at Zhao Yang and said slowly, "What do you think, sir?"
Zhao Yang said calmly: "This thing is only worth three million at most, if you want to use it to make money, don't exceed this price, but if you just want to simply collect it, it doesn't matter." ”
Zhu Zhengwen swallowed his saliva, looked at the antiques he had photographed before, and after weighing it in his heart, he directly raised the sign in his hand.
"Oh?" said the auctioneer excitedly, "This gentleman bids 100,000!"
At the same time, the box next door who heard the news looked at the box where Zhu Zhengwen was with some surprise.
"100,000? The man was lying on the chaise longue, his fat body crunching against the chaise longue, and just as he was about to laugh, a woman lying next to him frowned and said, "I want this." ”
"What?" the fat man turned his head to look at the woman beside him, and said suspiciously, "Why do you want this?"
The woman said coquettishly: "People like this, and besides, the eldest brother opened a new store this year, and people want to buy it back and give it to him." ”
Listening to the woman's words, the corners of the fat man's mouth rose slightly, scratched his head and said, "Okay, then I'll buy it for you." ”
The woman put her arms around the fat man gratefully and said excitedly, "Thank you so much." ”
"You're welcome, it's all small money. The fat man added 300,000 yuan very confidently, and the auctioneer immediately called out his name.
But then Zhu Zhengwen raised the price of the child by another 100,000 yuan.
Someone competes with him, this is something that the fat man never expected, there are people who also want this thing, he suddenly became interested, he is almost everything bad in his life, ugly, bad character, and often bullied by others, but only one thing, his money has never been bad, he has hardly worked hard to make money in his life, and almost all the money he spends now is left to him by his father, but he has no brains about making money, and he doesn't know how to save. So after so many years, he almost lost all his money.
And he also has a good habit, that he likes to grab things from others the most, as long as other people's things, it must be the best.
He didn't think about it, and directly raised the sign in his hand.
"Oh, room three is quoted for one million!"
The auctioneer's eyes widened, he never thought that such a thing could be sold for a million, but as long as she sold it, she would have a five percent commission, and of course she would be willing to sell it more expensively.
"Ugh. Zhu Zhengwen shook his head helplessly and stopped raising the price.
Zhao Yang was a little puzzled, and he asked directly, "Why don't you increase the price?"
Zhu Zhengwen smiled bitterly: "I don't have much money on me, if I spend millions for this thing, there will be no way to buy things after that." ”
"You're just worried about this?" A faint smile rose at the corner of Zhao Yang's mouth, and he directly took the sign beside him and held it up.
The auctioneers, who were nervously watching the stage and the audience, soon spotted the sign that was being raised.
"Oh my God!" she lost her temper for a while, and actually said something that she shouldn't have said, she hurriedly said: "Mr. No. 2 offers two million!"
Twice directly raised the price of a 100,000-yuan item to 2 million, and the auctioneer really didn't understand how their brains were growing.
When Zhu Zhengwen saw this scene, he hurriedly said anxiously, "Mr. Zhao Yang, I don't have that much money. ”
"I'll give. Zhao Yang smiled and said, "This thing can be regarded as a meeting gift from me." ”
At this time, the rich second generation was also stunned, but someone grabbed him, which stimulated his competitiveness even more, and he raised his sign again.
The woman beside him said with some hesitation: "Da Shao, it's really not okay, it's really not worth spending so much money for this thing." ”
"It's okay!" The fat man directly waved his hand and pushed the woman away, and said very proudly: "If I am better than others, I may not be as good as others, but if I want to say that I have more money than anyone, I haven't lost anyone!
At the beginning, there was no stopping, and the two of them increased the price by 100,000 every time, and in the end, the price had exceeded 5 million.
Five million, Zhao Yang's expression was still very calm, waiting for the other party to increase the price.
At this time, layers of sweat beads had begun to appear on the forehead of the young man, and his palms were sweaty, and he hesitated to raise the sign again.
And because he didn't move for a long time, the auctioneer had already begun to drop the hammer, and at the last moment, he gritted his teeth and directly raised his sign.
"Five and a half million!"
As soon as this price came out, the people on and off the field were stunned, and even the auction house couldn't help but confirm with the appraiser what the actual value of this thing was.
Da Shao sneered in his heart, he had already taken out so much money, he didn't believe that the other party could still increase the price for this.
"Six million!"
The auctioneer immediately reported a number, and when he looked closely, sure enough, it was the person next to him.
He will add as much as he wants, is this person sick?
"Da Shao......" The woman looked at Da Shao who was furious, and she didn't dare to go up to dissuade her for a while.
Da Shao's expression was gloomy, he waved his hand and didn't speak again.
He brought six million with him this time, it would be impossible to smash them all in, it would be too stupid to do such a thing for a woman.
In the box next door, Zhu Zhengwen watched Zhao Yang very calmly hand the check with six million written on it to the service lady, his expression was full of shock.
"You spend so much money just to buy this?" Zhu Zhengwen said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that thing is not worth much, spending so much money, you must lose it, right?"
Zhao Yang was very calm, he lay on the chair in a very comfortable position, and said quietly: "We are friends, aren't we, this is a gift from me to you, but it's only six million, and I still paid it out." ”
He yawned, and then said, "If there is any antique you don't understand in a while, come and call me, and I'll sleep for a while." ”
With that, he closed his eyes.
