The people of the Lan family will not harm the people of the Tang family, let alone the people of the Lin family, what does this mean? What does the Lin family have to do with himself? Tang Feng's mind was completely confused, he could not have imagined that a casual look at a piece of blue and white porcelain would see a lot of trouble. (P~a~o~S~h~u~~o~M}

Before the auction began, Tang Feng walked out of the convention and exhibition center, and he found a leeward place and dialed the phone at home. This was the first time Tang Feng had called home unconventionally since he left his hometown, and his grandfather quickly answered the phone, and he asked Tang Feng, "Xiaofeng, are you in any trouble?"

The more Tang Feng thought about it, the more curious he became, and finally couldn't help but ask Tang Wenyu: "I didn't encounter any trouble, but I couldn't get a reasonable explanation for a few problems, and I want to call and ask you for advice." ”

"Question, what question? Tell me about it. Tang Wenyu on the other end of the phone asked Tang Fengdao.

Tang Feng said: "Do you know a person named Lan Qi? She is a woman, in her thirties, she said that their family has a seawater phoenix pattern celestial ball bottle, which is a pair of our seawater dragon pattern celestial ball bottle, and that vase really has it."

"What?" Before Tang Feng could finish speaking, Tang Wenyu immediately asked him, "Lan Qi, did you meet the people of the Lan family, and when and where did you meet them?"

Tang Feng said: "Just now, by the way, grandpa, I am now in Hong Kong." ”

After Tang Wenyu knew that Tang Feng was in Hong Kong, his words immediately became nervous, and he said, "Hey, Xiaofeng, you should tell me when you go to Hong Kong." ”

"Grandpa, you didn't say you couldn't come to Hong Kong, I have two things to auction at Christie's in Hong Kong, and I have made an appointment to meet in Hong Kong. The more Tang Feng thought about it, the more confused he became, how could the old man be nervous because he was in Hong Kong, this was too unreasonable.

"Hey, it's my fault for this, I didn't make it clear to you. Tang Wenyu sighed and said: "Tang Feng, you are still at ease when you do things, the old man is still at ease, since you have serious things, I don't have anything to say, but I want to tell you that you must leave Hong Kong as soon as possible after finishing things; Also, although the people of the Lan family will not do anything to you, you can no longer have any contact with them, no matter what, you must keep the secret of the dragon bottle, this matter is very important. ”

The consignor does not necessarily have to attend the auction, Tang Feng can leave Hong Kong now, but Liu Yue and Zhu Biwei will also come to the auction, he and Liu Yue have made an appointment to meet tonight, and he doesn't think there will be anything wrong with him going to Hong Kong. He asked, "So, is there really a dragon and phoenix double bottle?"

Tang Wenyu said: "There is another phoenix bottle, the dragon and phoenix double bottle matter, the involvement is very wide, it is not clear for a while, you don't ask more, I will leave for Beijing immediately, and then we will talk." ”

What will be unclear, although Tang Feng is very reluctant, but it is not good to keep asking his grandfather, he said helplessly: "Okay then." Grandpa, why don't I go back to my hometown to pick you up?"

Tang Wenyu smiled on the phone and said, "Don't bother, I'm not old, weak, sick and disabled, and I can still be mentally active for several years, so be it." ”

Before Tang Feng could speak, the old man hung up the phone, Tang Feng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this phone call not only did not clarify the beginning and end of the matter, but made the problem more complicated, and his grandfather suddenly decided to go to Beijing because of this. As soon as Tang Feng hung up the phone, Liu Yue's mobile phone text message arrived, "The phone can't get through, my mother won't go today, wait for me at the door before the opening, okay?"

Tang Feng replied to the words "see you and leave" and then turned around and walked towards Kowloon Bay, the Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center is located in Kowloon Bay, which is a famous downtown in Hong Kong. Tang Feng, who was standing on the side, saw a person in the crowd who had a relationship with him, he was Dong Minquan, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman who loved collecting, and the formation of going out was big enough, with a total of three cars and more than a dozen bodyguards. On the contrary, Hong Kong is a rich person who is afraid of the poor, and ordinary citizens think that Hong Kong's public order is very good, but on the contrary, the rich people are very worried about Hong Kong's public security, and this is an area with a high incidence of kidnapping cases in the world, and even the famous Li Ka-shing is not immune, and what is more serious is that paying the ransom may not be able to guarantee everything.

Dong Minquan didn't see Tang Feng, and Tang Feng didn't want to make friends with him, and soon, Dong Minquan walked into the convention and exhibition center.

"Don't move, hand over the money!" Tang Feng was still looking around, Liu Yue patted him on the shoulder from behind, Tang Feng turned around and said with a smile: "Your voice is too gentle, not suitable to be a robber." ”

Liu Yue smiled and said, "Well, I heard it, you are praising me in a different way." ”

Tang Feng said: "It doesn't work when you say this, in fact, I'm saying that you are not qualified to be a robber." ”

"Hey. Liu Yue shook her head and said, "You are so boring, you can't even act, let's go in." ”

The two of them chatted while walking, and Tang Feng said, "Does your mother dislike me very much? ”

Liu Yue asked strangely: "It's not that my mother doesn't like you, but she doesn't like all the men of school age who have a good relationship with me, so be careful." ”

"Cut, I won't worry. Until now, Tang Feng has not regarded the people of the Zhu family and Liu Yue's fiancé as an obstacle, for him, he himself is the biggest obstacle, after all, the future has not yet come, so he can only wait and see what happens.

Liu Yue said: "I forgot about it again. ”

The two of them found two seats in the back row of the auction hall and sat down, and Tang Feng asked Liu Yue, "Liu Yue, you won't tell me that you are only here to visit the auction, right?"

"Of course not. Liu Yue said affirmatively: "I came to Hong Kong because you came to Hong Kong; My mother is for Shi Kefa's Shang Fang Sword, and if the price is reasonable, Zhu Ji is ready to buy him back. ”

Tang Feng understands the subtleties and says, "This is a great advertising opportunity. ”

Liu Yue sighed and said: "I don't want to flaunt myself, let's have both, when you spend money to keep something for yourself or donate it vigorously, in fact, you already have selfishness, of course, in terms of buying back overseas lost cultural relics, market operation and patriotic enthusiasm do not conflict." ”

Tang Feng said: "Do you say the same to the outside world?"

Liu Yue said: "If I were a parent, I would, with the progress of society, I believe that many people can understand the truth." ”

When the two were chatting, the brief opening ceremony of the hammer had been completed, and the auction had officially begun, the first lot was a Qingtian stone carving, Tang Feng and Liu Yue were not interested in the lot itself, but the people who participated in the bidding. Liu Yue tugged at Tang Feng's sleeve and said to him, "Hey, isn't that your Japanese friend?"

"Who's friends with him? "Tang Feng had already seen that person, he was Qingshan Junshu, because of that Yuan blue and white incense burner, Tang Feng had a grudge against him.

Liu Yue glanced at the auction hall and said, "There are really a lot of foreigners. ”

Tang Feng said: "There are two sides to everything, and the joys and sorrows are mixed. "The participation of foreigners is the biggest driving force for the rise in the value of China's cultural relics, but then there is the loss of cultural relics, which is a double-edged sword, depending on the grasp of the scale.

After several rounds of bidding, the first lot was pocketed by Toshiki Aoyama at a high price, Liu Yue asked Tang Fengdao: "Tang Feng, I think it's a little strange, the people's hatred of Japan is a fact, Toshiki Aoyama can find a Hong Kong client, so it should be possible to save costs, why did he come forward in person?"

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "Japanese people always have a purpose in doing things, and I haven't figured this out yet. "Hong Kong is not a big place, and there are only a few people who participate in the auction, many people have known each other in the past, and when Tang Feng and they were talking here, there were people constantly greeting Dong Minquan. Toshiki Aoyama came forward in person, and many people knew his identity, and a few bidders who sat in front of Tang Feng and they talked in a low voice called him a Japanese devil.

The next three lots were all bid by Toshiki Aoyama, because the value of the thing itself is not high, Toshiki Aoyama did not become the target of public criticism, the fifth lot is Tang Feng's lotus petal six-sided plate, the auctioneer waited until the display was completed, and announced: "Lot 5, the Qing Qianlong court appreciates the lotus petal six-sided plate, the reserve price is 10,000, and the auction starts now." ”

"Buyer No. 0911 bids 2 million!"

"Buyer No. 8888 bids 3 million!"

Tang Feng and Liu Yue glanced at each other, and smiled at the same time, the buyer of No. 0911 is Toshiki Aoyama, and the buyer of No. 8888 is Dong Minquan who is sitting in the VIP seat. Bidders can be anonymous or public, Dong Minquan will naturally not be anonymous at home, everyone knows that he is one of the top three collectors in Hong Kong.

"Buyer No. 1988 bid 6.19 million!"

When Tang Feng looked at the 1988 buyer, this buyer also looked at him, she was Lan Qi, she nodded to Tang Feng as a greeting, and Tang Feng nodded to her out of politeness. At the auction, the price of 6.19 million yuan was normal, but Tang Feng felt very weird, because June 19, 1988 was his birthday, and Lan Qi seemed to know that it was his lot.

This offer caused quite a stir, if Qingshan Junshu's offer of 2 million is unpopular, then Dong Minquan's offer of 3 million is still in color, and Lan Qi's offer of 6.19 million is unreasonable, how can there be such a card that does not follow the card.

The auctioneer repeatedly asked if there was a higher offer, but neither Toshiki Aoyama nor Dong Minquan followed up, and Lan Qi made a bid.

Tang Feng said to Liu Yue: "June 19 is my birthday. ”

"Huh?" Liu Yue looked at Tang Feng and said, "It's unlikely to be a coincidence, right?"

Facing Liu Yue's inquiring eyes, Tang Feng said, "I really don't know her. ”

Liu Yue said: "If this is not a coincidence, there is also a possibility that the ID number of the consignor will be provided when the auction is consigned, could it be that Christie's leaked the customer's information?"

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "June 19 is my lunar birthday, and it is not on my ID card. ”

Liu Yue pondered for a moment and said, "You must have a relationship with her, otherwise she wouldn't know this, wouldn't it?"

"How is it possible?" Tang Feng said: "Forget it, it's useless to think too much, my grandfather will know it when he arrives in Beijing." ”

The next bidding turned out to be very strange, and the things that weren't so good were basically bought by Toshiki Aoyama and their side, and of course, the total value of the things they bid on was not high. All the better things were bought by Chinese businessmen, except for the lotus petal hexagonal plate, Lan Qi did not participate in the subsequent competition, and these things were obviously not in line with Dong Minquan's appetite, and he did not participate in the competition.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked up to Tang Feng and Liu Yue, and he said politely: "Mr. Tang, Miss Liu, our boss, Mr. Dong, wants to invite you to come over and talk about it, and please appreciate it." ”

Liu Yue stuck out her tongue and said, "It's still seen by Grandpa Dong, let's go." ”

Tang Feng felt that he didn't have such a big face, Su Qing only met Dong Minquan through Liu Yue's introduction, the elders warmly invited, and the juniors had no reason not to go, and the two of them walked to the VIP seat together.

When he arrived at the VIP seat, Dong Minquan, who was wearing a long robe, smiled and said: "Xiaoyue, this is your mistake, you won't notify you when you arrive in Hong Kong." ”

"Grandpa Dong, it's not too late, my mother and I will come to disturb tomorrow. In the eyes of the old man, Liu Yue is definitely a well-behaved and obedient girl.

"That's good, it means that you haven't forgotten that I'm in Hong Kong. Dong Minquan turned to Tang Feng and said: "The future is terrifying, that Su Dongpo manuscript really made me sad for a while, if you want to sell it in the future, don't auction it." I will give you the most satisfactory price. ”

"It must be!" Tang Feng said so, but he secretly said in his heart: I'm afraid that there is no such opportunity.

Dong Minquan asked Liu Yue and Tang Feng to sit beside him, and he said: "I am very happy to see the two of you together, are you two free tonight?"

Dong Minquan said: "It's been a long time since a guest has been to my collection room, you two must go to see it, you are all rising stars in the collection industry, give me some advice by the way." ”

Tang Feng really wanted to go and see the collection room of the veteran collector who had been immersed in Yin's collection for many years, and it should be larger than Yang Chengming's collection room. Liu Yue smiled and said, "Then disturb your old man." ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and the eighteenth lot came to the stage, it was the Ming Yongle Entwined Lotus Seawater Dragon Pattern Heavenly Ball Vase, Dong Minquan said: "I have seen this blue and white porcelain a long time ago, it is very good, I came for it tonight." ”

As soon as Dong Minquan's words came out, Tang Feng "chuckled" in his heart, and he was thinking about whether to tell the old man the truth. Liu Yue said: "The existence of this blue and white porcelain has always been an open case, Grandpa Dong, are you sure?"

Dong Minquan said: "In my experience, this blue and white porcelain should be real, of course, I also refer to the opinions of others. ”

"The reserve price is 10,000, start shooting now!"

With the announcement of the auctioneer, the blue and white celestial ball dragon bottle began to be auctioned.

"Buyer No. 1988 bids 19.88 million!"

Hearing the auctioneer's price, Dong Minquan frowned, and he said, "Did the people of the Lan family take stimulants tonight? Why don't they play their cards according to the rules?"

Tang Feng was even more strange in his heart, Lan Qi knew that this blue and white porcelain was fake, but she still had to bid at a high price, what kind of reason was this?

Dong Minquan then said to the staff around him: "Gawan try the depth." ”

Before Lao Dong had time to raise his card, a new offer came out, it was Toshiki Aoyama, and his offer was 20,000.

After all, he is an old man, Dong Minquan looked very calm, he said: "Yo, it seems that they are all determined to win, according to this situation, more than 50,000, we will add another 5 million." ”

Tang Feng thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say to Dong Minquan: "Dong Lao, I have also seen this blue and white porcelain, I think it is a fake, do you want to think about it again?"

Before Dong Minquan could speak, a staff member hurriedly walked up to him and whispered something to him, Dong Minquan looked at the staff and asked, "Did he really say that?"

The staff looked at Tang Feng and Liu Yue, and when they wanted to speak, Dong Minquan said, "You say it directly." ”

The staff continued: "Yes, we checked all the way up according to the clues given by the CED side, and confirmed that this blue and white porcelain was shipped from Japan to Hong Kong via Taiwan. ”

Seeing Tang Feng's dazed face, Liu Yue explained to him softly that CED is the English abbreviation of Hong Kong Customs.

"*** Japanese devil!" Dong Minquan scolded: "I played karate that is fried and sold, do the people of the Lan family know?"

Although the blue and white celestial ball dragon bottle is only from Japan, and there is no direct evidence that this is the trick of Toshiki Aoyama to speculate and sell, Tang Feng still sensed the sinister intention of Toshiki Aoyama to participate in this auction in public, they just want to use the Chinese's anti-Japanese sentiment to hype up the transaction price. It can be seen that the patriotic behavior of Chinese people to buy back cultural relics lost overseas is gradually being used by foreigners.

The staff said: "The roots of the Lan family are in Taiwan, and they won't be unaware." ”

Dong Minquan scratched his head and said, "Which one is this play?" Then he turned his head and asked Tang Fengdao: "Why does Xiao Tang think this is fake?"

Of course, Tang Feng would not tell Dong Minquan the truth, he said: "This is just my personal judgment. ”

Dong Minquan waved his hand and said: "Whether it's true or not, there must be a problem here, the Japanese are not good at coming today, I thought they were here today for something, it turned out that they were deliberately picking up the price, if so, Shi Kefa's Shang Fang Sword and that Fang Yuxi must also have a problem." ”

Tang Feng said to Dong Minquan: "It's hard to say Shang Fang's sword, but there must be no problem with that Fang Yuxi, because that's mine." ”

"Yours?" Dong Minquan said with a smile: "How did you make a move on this thing?"

Tang Feng said: "There are a lot of jade seals in the Qing Dynasty, I don't think there is any need to keep them, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning." ”

"There is some truth to that, too. Dong Minquan said: "Anyway, I don't want this blue and white celestial ball dragon bottle, I can't do it." ”

There are more and more questions in Tang Feng's heart, everything is too unreasonable, there must be some secret hidden in it, it is indeed as his grandfather said, the dragon and phoenix double bottle involves a wide range.

With the withdrawal of Dong Minquan, the blue and white celestial ball dragon bottle completely evolved into a competition of economic strength between the Lan family and the Qingshan family, and the two families competed all the way, raising the price of this blue and white porcelain to a high level of 50,000 yuan. At this time, Lan Qi raised the bidding card in his hand!
