Chapter 5 Bidding (1)

Luo Tianqing was obviously familiar with this place, and he walked around in this luxuriously furnished manor, and finally stopped in front of a building with 'Listening to Zhuxuan' hanging on it.

"Yo, Boss Luo's battle this time is not small. Luo Tianqing and the others were about to go in, when an obviously sarcastic voice came from behind them.

Lin Fei turned his head to look, and a fat man who was nearly half a year old was walking with a wicked smile on his face, followed by an old man with white hair. Obviously, this fat man said what he said.

"Fat Wang, don't be too complacent. Luo Tianqing saw the person coming and gritted his teeth.

"Boss Luo, do you still have the funds?" Wang Fatzi smiled, "It seems that the few objects that were eye-catching last time didn't make you remember it for a long time, and you still dare to come here." Hehe, but if you look at it again this time, I'm afraid your little shop won't be able to open. ”

"Hmph!" Luo Tianqing snorted coldly and did not continue.

Inside Tingzhuxuan, there is a small booth in the center, the overall decoration is like a teahouse, and there are some tables and stools around the booth.

There were some snacks and tea on the tea table, and Luo Tianqing and a few people came in and found a corner to sit down. Lin Fei knocked on the side and also learned the identity of the fat man from Luo Yutong. This Wang Fatzi, formerly known as Wang Defu, also opened an antique shop on the antique street, only a dozen meters away from Luo Tianqing's shop.

In recent years, this Wang Fat Man has invited a master of appraising antiques, that is, the old man next to him, Master Liao, with Master Liao's skills, Wang Fat Man has made a lot of money in recent years, so he thought about expanding his shop and aimed at Luo Tianqing, who was not far from him.

Luo Tianqing was naturally reluctant to transfer the store that had been operating for more than ten years, and Wang Fatzi began to stumble secretly, and the two have been fighting openly and secretly over the years, but because Ning Wen's ability is not as good as Master Liao, Luo Tianqing has been suffering. Last time, Ning Wen was eye-catching many times, and let Luo Tianqing take several fakes in a row, losing a lot of money.

And this Tingzhuxuan is a holy place in the antique world of Tianhai City, and a treasure selection meeting will be held every six months, when people from all over the country who have good things in their hands will come here for auction.

The rules of the auction are very simple, an antique is placed on the table, everyone can observe at will, and then the highest price wins, after the transaction will have a few respected appraisers to identify the authenticity, once the transaction is made, it will not be returned, whether you can buy good things depends on their own ability.

The most conspicuous place in the hall is an old man with crane hair and a childish face sitting on the Taishi chair leisurely drinking tea, his name is Wei Chong, he has a high prestige in the antique world of Tianhai City, this manor is his, it is said that there is a deep background. Many of the people who came would go to him first to say hello.

"Old Wei, you are still in such good spirits!"

"Hehe, it's old, it's not good. ”

"How can it be, your old skills have always been our learning goal. ”

In such a small hall, almost the entire Tianhai City antique world gathered large and small figures. Each of them is either a senior in the collection world or a master in the appraisal world, and they have a great reputation in Tianhai City. The owner of a small shop like Luo Tianqing was not conspicuous at all, only that Master Liao went to say hello to Wei Lao.

Everyone is a person in the circle, gathering in twos and threes to chat, drinking tea while waiting for the start of the treasure selection. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer real old objects, and treasure selection meetings like this can be regarded as the most important way for Luo Tianqing to collect antiques, so Luo Tianqing attaches great importance to it.

After a while, there were almost all the people who could come.

"Everyone, be quiet. At this time, an elegant middle-aged man walked up to the booth, clapped his hands, and said: "Thank you for coming to participate in this treasure selection meeting, I won't say more, it's still the old rules, now the first batch of goods will begin, everyone is free to observe." ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, someone behind him had already carried old objects on the booth, and everyone was obviously accustomed to it.

"Master Ning, you can also go and take a look, you must pay attention, we really can't afford to lose this time!" After the first wave of people watching, Luo Tianqing said to Ning Wen.

"Don't worry, boss. Ning Wen responded, got up and went to the booth, and glanced at Wang Fatzi vaguely during the period, this small action Luo Tianqing didn't notice, but Lin Fei took in the view.

It seems to be really boring. Lin Fei has been secretly observing after arriving here, and finally discovered Ning Wen's strange appearance at this moment, this Ning Wen must have been bought by Wang Fatzi and helped Wang Fatzi harm Luo Tianqing, no wonder he continued to punch his eyes last time, I'm afraid this time it won't be much better.

Lin Fei looked at the seven porcelain bowls on the table with completely different colors and carvings, all of which looked like old objects from the outside, and they were impossible to identify at all. Lin Fei shook his head, secretly anxious in his heart, he didn't know how to help Luo Tianqing get through this difficulty, and directly told him that Ning Wen had been bought Luo Tianqing would definitely not believe it.

By the way, try to see if the perspective of the god eye has any effect.

A little golden light appeared in Lin Fei's eyes, and under the gaze of the Perspective Divine Eye, the objects on the table suddenly changed. The two bowls placed in the second and seventh were emitted a soft white light, the difference was that the second was only an inch high, while the seventh was a full three inches white, and the rest of the bowls did not emit the slightest white light.

What's going on with this white light? Could it be that the white light is an antique? Lin Fei was also a little uncertain in his heart.

After a long time, it was not until no one went up again that the elegant man came to the stage again.

"Okay, now that everyone has finished reading it, let's start the bidding for the No. 1 porcelain bowl now, all the goods are not low price this time, you can quote at will!"

“500!”“600!”

As soon as the man's words fell, someone began to bid.

Luo Tianqing looked at Ning Wen, Ning Wen nodded, indicating that it was genuine, Luo Tianqing shouted: "I'll give a thousand!"

Although Luo Tianqing's level of authenticity of antiques is not high, but the price of antiques is clear, this first piece is a porcelain bowl fired by Yongzheng Min kiln, according to the current market situation can be sold at least more than 5,000.

"Boss Luo's shot is really generous, hehe, but you can't take this Yongzheng bowl for a thousand. Wang Fatzi, who was not far from them, whispered a few words to Master Liao and smiled maliciously at Luo Tianqing, "I'll give three thousand!"

At this time, basically no one has bid, or is not optimistic about this porcelain bowl, or feels that the profit is too small.

"Three thousand five!" Luo Tianqing gritted his teeth and shouted again.

"Three thousand eight!" the fat man still had a wicked smile on his face.

Luo Tianqing glanced at Wang Fatzi, confirmed with Ning Wen again, and said, "Four thousand!"

"Hehe, since Boss Luo likes this thing so much, then I'd better let it be given to you. But four thousand is not much, but it would be too much of a loss to buy a fake one!" Wang Fatzi did not bid again, but said softly to Luo Tianqing.

"Four thousand for the first time! Is there anyone else bidding?" the man said, "Four thousand for the second time, four thousand for the third time, deal!"

The man made a final decision and continued: "I wonder if this gentleman is now appraised?"

The items sold in this manor provide free appraisal services, and each antique will ask the buyer whether it is authenticated on the spot after the transaction, almost no one will refuse, one is left with an appraisal fee, and the other is also a good opportunity to test their vision, after all, there are the most high-end people in the antique industry in Tianhai City.

"Identification. Luo Tianqing agreed almost without any hesitation.

On one side of the table sat several respected treasure connoisseurs, who held the porcelain bowl for a while to watch the discussion, and Master Zhou, who was sitting in the middle, said: "This is a good imitation, and the market price should be about 100 yuan." ”

Hearing this, the sip of tea that Wang Fatzi had just drunk suddenly squirted out.

"Boss Luo is really rich, buy a bowl for more than 4,000, I'm afraid I don't want to eat abalone every day, haha!"

Luo Tianqing's face was ugly, but in their industry, they could only smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, but fortunately, this bowl was only four thousand yuan, which was not a big number for him.

And so it was. Lin Fei was happy in his heart, since this bowl that had no reaction was a fake, then his guess was correct, only those that emitted white light were real antiques, although Lin Fei didn't know why, but this did not prevent him from helping Luo Tianqing.

"Now the bidding for the No. 2 porcelain bowl begins!" the man said from the stage, drawing everyone's attention.

"Uncle Luo, I have also seen some antiques with my master in the mountains, this should be true. This time, Lin Fei said to Luo Tianqing before Ning Wen.

However, Luo Tianqing didn't trust Lin Fei, and after seeing Ning Wen shaking his head, he didn't ask for a price, but said to Lin Fei seriously: "Xiao Fei, you can't understand this kind of thing if you have seen it, you are still young, and you don't understand the Tao here." ”

"Do you still know antiques after staying in the mountains for so long?" Luo Yutong snorted disdainfully.

"Five thousand!" "I'll give eight thousand!" "Ten thousand!" ......

Lin Fei saw that Luo Tianqing didn't believe him, so he could only be secretly anxious, but this porcelain bowl was priced at 10,000 yuan in a short period of time.

Seeing that several large-scale antique shop owners and collectors were bidding one after another, Luo Tianqing was also a little puzzled, those people were all experts in the circle, could it be that they were eye-catching at the same time? Luo Tianqing looked at Ning Wen again, and Ning Wen also shook his head again, Luo Tianqing had no choice but to hide his doubts in the bottom of his heart and watch quietly, after all, master-level people often have eyes.

In the end, the No. 2 porcelain bowl was bought by a well-known collector for 20,000 yuan, during which Wang Fatzi also called the price several times, but he did not compete with others.

After the deal, Wang Fatzi looked at Luo Tianqing and said with a smile: "Why didn't Boss Luo ask for the price this time? Is there no money or do you think it's a fake?" ”

Luo Tianqing still ignored Wang Fatzi's cynicism, but Luo Yutong glared at Wang Fatzi angrily.

After the treasure connoisseurs exchanged for a while, Master Zhou said: "This is a blue and white yellow dragon pattern bowl from the official kiln of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the market price should be about 30,000 yuan, which is very collectible, congratulations to this Tibetan friend." ”
