Chapter 554: Charity Auction Exchange Meeting (Part II) (2/60)
Meng Zitao walked to Shu Ze and them, and Zhong Jinxian asked with a wicked smile: "Who was that beautiful woman just now, I saw that you were chatting very happily." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Meng Zitao was a little speechless and said: "That's Xu Lao's granddaughter, we met during the competition, they were ordinary friends, how can you be so dirty as you think." ā
"Which Elder Xu?" Zhong Jinxian hurriedly asked when he heard this.
"Xu Youhao, Xu Lao. Meng Zitao replied.
Zhong Jinxian was very surprised to learn the answer: "Isn't that Sister Xin?
"Do you know?" this time, Meng Zitao was curious.
Zhong Jinxian looked for Ren Kexin's location, and said: "Why don't you know, my grandfather and Xu Lao have a very good relationship, when I was a child, he often brought Sister Xin to my house to play, I haven't seen him for nearly 20 years, how does it seem that he has changed a person, I don't see it at a glance." ā
Tian Mengmeng said: "You also said that you haven't seen it for 20 years, and it's normal that you haven't seen it for a while." ā
"This is also, Meng Meng, I'll take you over to get to know each other and catch up on the old days. With that, Zhong Jinxian pulled Tian Mengmeng and walked towards Ren Kexin.
Meng Zitao was a little strange when he saw this, and he was not in a hurry for a while, why did Zhong Jinxian act in such a hurry.
Meng Zitao didn't think much about it, and asked Shu Ze, "By the way, what did you call me over?"
Shu Ze turned to a polite young man next to him and introduced, "Zitao, this is my friend Bian Mo in Spring City. ā
"Hello, Mr. Meng, I have admired my name for a long time. Bian Mo stretched out his hand to Meng Zitao with a smile on his face.
"Hello. Meng Zitao shook the other party amicably.
Bian Mo smiled and said, "Mr. Meng, I have something I want to trouble you. ā
"You say. Meng Zitao nodded, and there was a faint guess in his heart about Zhong Jinxian's hurried departure just now.
Ben Mo explained: "That's the case, my father loves philately, since he was a teenager, for decades, as long as there is any stamp he does not have, he will collect, now most of the precious stamps are almost collected, only a few rare treasures are still hard to find." ā
"As a son, I must help him, I heard that you have a complete set of dragon stamps, so I can only ask for shame, I don't know if you can cut love?"
Meng Zitao secretly said "Sure enough" in his heart, it seems that this news should have been revealed by Zhong Jinxian, so he fled in a hurry, but this is actually nothing, since he brought something over, he definitely has no idea of hiding it.
But Bian Mo's request made Meng Zitao very difficult, as mentioned earlier, the complete set of dragon stamps is very rare, not to mention that it has not been used, and the condition is perfect, it is likely that there is only such a set of surviving ones, if it is given to Bian Mo, then where will he find another set?
Of course, this matter is not negotiable, after all, Meng Zitao does not have much hobby for stamp collecting, if Bian Mo can take a level, and it happens to be the antiques he is interested in in exchange, he is also willing, as for using money to buy, then there is definitely no need to think about it.
Just as Meng Zitao was about to reply, a staff member next to him told everyone that the auction was about to start, and guests who wanted to participate in the auction were requested to register as soon as possible.
"Zitao, our things haven't been registered yet, right?" Shu Ze immediately reminded.
"Yes. Meng Zitao said to Bian Mo: "Mr. Bian, I will reply to you about stamps later." ā
Bian Mo smiled and said, "No problem." ā
Meng Zitao and they went to register together, except for Meng Zitao who wrote a "Burrow Inscription", Shu Ze and Zhong Jinxian both took out tens of thousands of worth of things, and they wouldn't take out too good things.
In the final analysis, everyone knows very well that the so-called charity is just a disguise, and Xuanjia has such an auction, in addition to fighting for a good reputation for himself, the most important thing is to invite everyone to communicate together, contact feelings, and increase a little contact.
Therefore, those who have the heart to donate will not take out any good things, like Shu Ze, they are even more unnecessary, if they really want to engage in charity, they will send someone to deal with it, and there is no need to go through the platform of Xuanjia.
After registering, everyone found a seat and sat down to wait for the auction to begin. Bian Mo was not in a hurry to ask Meng Zitao's wishes, anyway, there was time.
Because it is not a formal auction, although the hall is also arranged, but the layout is more casual, basically a combination of a group of sofas and coffee tables, there are some fruit pastries on the coffee table, everyone drinks tea and eats pastries, chats with friends, and the atmosphere is also very relaxed.
When the time was about right, Xuan Yuehai walked onto the podium, first said a polite word to everyone, and then said:
"Since it is a charity auction, of course, we as the host also have to express, so today we have also prepared a lot of treasures to contribute to charity, this part and the turnover of the lots donated by friends, as well as some friends want to borrow today's platform auction after the transaction fee, will be used as charity funds to help poor children in remote mountainous areas, and friends present are welcome to supervise. ā
"In addition, due to the time constraints, we will not provide you with time to appreciate the donated lots in this auction, but of course, if you have any questions afterwards, you can come to me. ā
This kind of face-saving thing, the Xuan family and other donors will definitely not cheat, otherwise, if there is a problem, the face will be lost.
Xuan Yuehai smiled and said: "Okay, don't talk too much, let's invite professionals to come to the stage to introduce the lots." ā
As Xuan Yuehai walked off the podium, an auctioneer in a suit and leather shoes walked up to the stage with a smile: "I won't say much about the rules of the auction, I believe you should be familiar with it, and the first lot is invited below, the Qing Dynasty agate dragon and phoenix pattern doublet cigarette bottle donated by Mr. Xuan Yueshan." ā
"This is a special-shaped double-shaped cigarette bottle, agate texture, peculiar shape, as a scroll-shaped bottle. The two bottles are each equipped with red and green tourmaline caps, with the same pattern and each chamber as one. The bottle body is carved out of the rope pattern two, the rope pattern is carved up and down the phoenix pattern, the silkworm pattern is two, the abdomen is painted with abstract tiger stripes, the lines are smooth, the style is elegant, there is an ancient meaning, the carving is exquisite, the sole of the foot is engraved with the four-character seal book of the "Qianlong year", which is identified by experts as a collection of fine ......"
With the introduction of the auctioneer, everyone's eyes were also on the curtain on the right side of the auctioneer, which displayed the photos of the lots.
Zhong Jinxian pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "So I said that I was slamming the door, I would have made a bet this time, and I would definitely come up with something better, but now that there is a change, the bet has been canceled like this, and I will come out with such a thing, which is not sincere at all." ā
Tian Mengmeng glanced at him: "Don't say strange things, this is just the beginning, what good things can be?"
"Mengmeng, you don't understand, the first lot of the auction is exquisite, not too expensive but not too cheap, although this agate snuff bottle looks good, but the current market value is not more than 100,000 at most, from it you can see that the value of the later lots will not be high. ā
Ren Kexin explained with a smile, don't look at Ren Kexin and Zhong Jinxian have not seen each other for nearly twenty years, but they are familiar with each other quickly, and they don't know what the reason is, they haven't communicated much, the relationship between Ren Kexin and Tian Mengmeng is like best friends, which is unbelievable.
Tian Mengmeng heard that this was the case, and shook her head: "It is said that the Xuan family is slamming the door, and it seems that they are also used to it." ā
The next lot is really just like Zhong Jinxian said, it is really not very good, fortunately, it is not bad, and it has some collection value, the transaction price is at least tens of thousands, and there is no unsold thing, which is also what everyone is willing to give the Xuan family face, otherwise it will be fun if the auction is unsuccessful.
Shu Ze teased Meng Zitao and smiled: "Zitao, it should be your calligraphy work, aren't you nervous?"
"There's nothing to be nervous about. Having said that, Meng Zitao was still somewhat concerned in his heart, after all, this was the first time his work appeared at auction, although this auction was not formal, but the people who came were also people with heads and faces, and if the auction price was not ideal, he also felt that his face was dull.
"Duduplicity. Shu Ze smiled: "However, if the price is less than 200,000 yuan in a while, I will take a picture and collect it." ā
Zhong Jinxian immediately took over and said: "I said Aze, you can't take advantage of this cheapness, I'm willing to take 200,000 yuan!"
Ren Kexin also said: "I am also willing." ā
Hearing the three of them say this, Bian Mo's curiosity was raised, if it was just Shu Ze who offered the price, it might be to take care of Meng Zitao's face, but Zhong Jinxian and Ren Kexin both said so, which means that Meng Zitao's works should be worth the money, but thinking about Meng Zitao's age, is this possible?
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, after the auction of a pair of jade ice species floating flower bracelets, I heard the auctioneer clear his throat and said: "The following lot is a little special, it is the donor's own calligraphy work, from Mr. Meng Zitao's Zhang Cao "Burrow Inscription" ......"
When the auctioneer introduced this, the audience began to talk about it.
"Who is this Meng Zitao? I haven't heard of it before, his face is really thick enough, he actually donated his own calligraphy works, he thinks he is a grass saint or something?"
"Don't say that, maybe people are very confident in their own calligraphy skills?"
"What about having confidence, I am also very confident in my calligraphy level, but if you dare to come to this occasion, you have to be a famous artist, who is this Meng Zitao, I want to see which one it is?"
"I seem to have some impression of this name, where did I hear it...... Oh, come to think of it, he seems to be a closed disciple of Zheng Anzhi and Zheng Lao!"
As soon as he heard this, the expression of the sneering person just now suddenly froze, and he smacked his mouth, not knowing what to say...... (To be continued.) )
