Text Chapter 55 A fool
"What about this auction item? It is an antique in the Three Kingdoms period, don't look at this is just a stone pillow, but he also has its special significance, this stone pillow is a stone pillow used by Mr. Zhuge Kongming, so he has a very great significance in history, okay, I announce that the starting price of this stone pillow of Zhuge Kongming is 500,000, and the price increase shall not be less than 50,000 yuan each time. ”
After Han Meng finished speaking, Wang Wei saw a lady of etiquette dragging a beautiful wooden box with her hand, and then put it on the display table, but after opening it, there was a cyan long stone pillow, which was already a little damaged on the surface due to its age.
Wang Wei found that after Han Meng finished saying that the auction had started, there was a minute of bonus in the past, and no one raised their cards to bid, this situation happened for the first time in this auction, even if the previous painting of Master Wu Ming was so worthless, in addition to Wang Wei and Zhu Yuepo, there were a few people bidding! This cultural relic of the Warring States period is obviously older than the painting of Master Wu Ming! And the price is not very high, and no one participated in the auction, which made Wang Wei puzzled.
"Master, why is there no one bidding for this stone pillow?" Wang Wei finally asked Sun Laogen.
"What, apprentice, you're asking this question. Sun Laogen looked at Wang Wei's expression at this time, like looking at an alien.
"What? Don't you think it's strange?" Wang Wei still didn't understand, so he asked again.
"Haha, old grandson, you are really incompetent as a master! You haven't taught this kind of common sense in the world of antiques and cultural relics, what kind of face do you have as a master to sit here!" Chai Leren immediately laughed when he heard Wang Wei's question, and then made Sun Laogen's old face red.
"Apprentice, let me tell you! After I go back, I will first show you the book on the basic knowledge of antiques, and you must not ask this kind of question outside in the future, this will also make the master embarrassed!" Sun Laogen said to Wang Wei so cluelessly.
"Master, what do you mean by that?" Wang Wei really didn't know what Sun Laogen and Chai Leren were talking about.
When Sun Laogen saw Wang Wei like this, he realized that it seemed that his apprentice really didn't know the basic knowledge of this treasure appreciation world, so he could only explain to Wang Wei helplessly.
"Let me tell you, apprentice, the reason why no one participated in the bidding for this stone pillow is because the stone pillow is the most collectible item among all the antiques, first of all, his material is only made of stone, and there is no technical value, and this is just a sleeping pillow for ancient people, and there is no artistic value at all, so this thing, even if it is old, no one will collect it under normal circumstances, and the reason why this stone pillow can participate in the auction is because it is an item from the Warring States period for a long time, and secondly, because it is used by Zhuge Kongming, so the second can come to participate in the auction, But the reason why no one bids is because the price it sets is too high, although it is only 500,000 yuan in comparison, but this stone pillow is not worth so much money at all, if it is set for tens of thousands of yuan, maybe someone will buy it, but looking at the current situation, most of it is going to be unsold, now you understand! ”
Sun Laogen patiently explained to Wang Wei, and finally showed an expression that you don't understand, which also made Wang Wei speechless.
After Wang Wei knew the reason, his heart suddenly burst into joy and joy, he thought that he would have to spend a lot of money to get this stone pillow! But looking at the current situation, he may be able to get the stone pillow at the starting price, this is really good luck, yes, Wang Dashao is ready to buy this stone pillow.
"Is there still no bidder? In that case, I declare this stone pillow unsold. After Han Meng finished speaking, he was about to knock down the hammer in his hand.
At the moment when the hammer was about to fall, Wang Dashao finally raised the sign in his hand.
"550,000? You actually want to pay 550,000 yuan to buy this stone pillow. Han Meng was very happy to see someone bidding at first, but then he saw that it was Wang Wei again? He almost spent 10 million yuan to buy a painting just now, and now he wants to pay 550,000 yuan to buy this stone pillow.
In fact, it was not only Han Meng who was surprised, but also Sun Laogen, Li Xingyao, and Chai Leren, who saw Wang Wei holding up the sign, and even thought that Wang Wei was excited and made a mistake.
"Hey, take it back! That's it! This kid's hand cramped, I'm really embarrassed. After Sun Laogen finished speaking, he pulled Wang Wei's hand down.
Han Meng was also ready to cooperate with Sun Laogen at this time, as long as Wang Wei's hand pulled it down, he would immediately announce that this stone pillow was not auctioned, but things did not develop as he thought.
Sun Laogen dragged Wang Wei's hand three times but didn't pull it down, Sun Laogen even thought that Wang Wei was half paralyzed, he just wanted to exert some strength, but found that Wang Wei stood up directly.
"Master, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Wang Wei first said this to Sun Laogen.
Then he said to Han Meng: "Uncle Han, my hand has no cramps, I really want to take a picture of this stone pillow, you haven't announced the failure of the auction just now, it's no problem to shoot it now!"
"Of course it's no problem!" Han Meng was stunned for a moment and finally returned, in fact, don't say that he didn't drop the hammer and shoot it, even if he really dropped the hammer, he could still shoot the stone pillow to Wang Wei, but he didn't want Wang Wei to spend this unjust money!
"Okay, the current price of the stone pillow has reached 550,000, is there anyone still bidding? If there is no one, 550,000 once, 550,000 twice, 550,000 three times, the transaction This stone is now owned by Wang Wei, you can go to the backstage to pay the money and receive things." Han Meng finally lowered the hammer, and Wang Wei finally bought the stone pillow at a price of 550,000.
And at this moment, the people at the bottom looked at Wang Wei's expression more full of ridicule than Zhu Yuepo's expression just now, because although Zhu Yuepo spent more than 10 million yuan to buy a painting that was not very valuable just now, but first of all, many people do not know much about the value of Wu Ming's paintings, and some people like Wu Ming's paintings very much. Although he only spent more than 500,000 yuan to buy a stone pillow, first of all, the basic market that the stone pillow is not worth is known to anyone who knows a little bit about antiques, and the second is that when he was shooting just now, someone reminded him that he still wanted to buy it, so now Wang Dashao has become a complete fool in the eyes of everyone.
Of course, Wang Wei can't be a big fool, the reason why he wants to buy this stone pillow is because, when Miss Manners just took this stone pillow to the stage, he used his perspective to find that this stone pillow was bubbling with a heavy treasure light, even stronger than the treasure light emitted by the bronze bowl before him, which is also the reason why his eyes lit up before, so he decided at this time that he would take this stone pillow no matter what price he paid, but to Wang Wei's surprise, such a treasure was unexpected, and if he didn't shoot it, it would be unsuccessful, so he hurriedly raised a sign to photograph this stone pillow before Han Meng announced the unsuccessful auction, but he was regarded as a fool by everyone.
Wang Wei ignored everyone's gaze and followed the staff to the backstage, where he wanted to complete the payment and pick up the goods.
"Sir, you sign here and then you can pay to pick up the goods, you can directly take the treasures you auctioned, or you can store them with us first, and you will take them when the auction is over! I don't know what you want?" In an office, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager said to Wang Wei.
"That's right, I'm not going to take it now, but I want to see this treasure now!
"Yes, of course, no problem, you can sign and pay here first! I'll have someone get your treasure for you." ”
Soon Wang Wei signed and paid the money, and then finally saw the stone pillow up close, Wang Wei took the stone pillow in his hand and found that although the stone pillow was made of stone, it was not as heavy as he imagined, but only a little bit of weight.
When those experts identified this stone pillow, they thought that it was because of weathering that this stone pillow became lighter, but Wang Wei knew that the reason why this stone pillow was so light was because the center of this stone pillow was hollow, and now Wang Wei finally found that the reason why this stone pillow has such a heavy treasure light is because of a scroll placed in the hollow part of this stone, and the treasure emitted from this stone pillow is emitted from this scroll.
Wang Wei found through the perspective eye that this scroll seems to be made of silk material, although Wang Wei doesn't know what this scroll is, but it is certain that his small current must be able to recover, so at this time, Wang Wei looked at the stone pillow in his hand is eyes are glowing with golden light!
The manager was a little speechless when he saw Wang Wei staring at the stone pillow in his hand! This guy not only spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a stone pillow made of broken stone that he thought would be auctioned, but also looked at this stone pillow as if he was looking at gold, and couldn't help but think in his heart that the hobbies of rich people are really different!
"Well, Mr. Wang, are you optimistic? The auction is still going on, if you want to continue to participate, you should go as soon as possible, otherwise you may miss something. The manager was stunned when he saw Wang Wei and immediately reminded him to arrive.
"Ah! Look, look, I'm going to continue to participate, and please save my treasure for me!" Wang Dashao finally came to his senses, and reluctantly handed over the stone pillow to the manager.
After Wang Wei left, the manager looked at the stone pillow and then looked at the direction in which Wang Wei left. Finally spoke.
"Rich people have a lot of quirks!"
