Caesar Windsor acted quickly, and in the past few days, he has contacted a few people who came to participate in the black market auction, and he can bring Su Qingqing and Yue Shuwen in by the way.

There are many rules for black market auctions, Huo Sining's line, just the deposit paid a lot of money, but the organizer probably saw the identity of Huo Sining and Julius Caesar, Caesar's worth is very expensive, and Huo Sining has a non-rational and chaotic relationship this time, so after Huo Sining's group entered, there were staff members who came to receive him, which was regarded as the top treatment.

During the reception, the receptionist gave a detailed explanation of the process of the auction.

The so-called black market auctions abroad are not the same as domestic auctions, which belong to guerrilla warfare, because most of the things in them are obtained through tomb robbing, and auctions are held only for the purpose of selling stolen goods, so there are often police officers who target them.

Moreover, not only is the auctioneer unreliable, but the auctioned things are not necessarily genuine, after all, it is a hammer deal, and it is very likely that after buying it, it is found that it is fake, but it is found that there is no way to find someone to compensate at all, because the seller has long not known where to go.

The black market in China is not legal, so buyers are not protected by law to buy these stolen goods, so even if they find that the items are fake, buyers can only consider themselves unlucky, knock out their teeth and swallow blood.

But the black market in Philadelphia is different, it is said to be a black market, in fact, it has been recognized by the above, although there is no clear legal provision that this thing is indeed legal, but the above basically adheres to the attitude of turning a blind eye.

And these auction items are basically from the major casinos and pawn shops, although these things are not necessarily legal sources, but at least they can see the light, and there is a Philadelphia black market as a guarantee, buyers buy these items back, absolutely do not have to worry about someone above to track down.

To put it simply, these items were completely laundered after they were in the Philadelphia black market, which shows the ability of everyone in the Philadelphia black market.

However, the things auctioned on the black market are always mixed, and there are more things in a mess of all kinds of antique jewelry, all kinds of countries, although Huo Sining has been frantically supplementing the basic knowledge of foreign cultural relics over the past year, but when she comes to this black market, she is still blind, and she feels that the knowledge in her head is completely insufficient.

Fortunately, when the black market can last for five days, there are some large and valuable items that will not be auctioned until the end, so Huo Sining and the others still have enough time to prepare.

The Philadelphia black market is held in a very conspicuous high-rise building, just like a domestic department store, these auction items are placed in glass compartments, clearly displayed for the public, each exhibition hall, there are staff in charge of explaining, if interested, you can wear special gloves, with antique identification tools to appreciate these exhibits.

This method is indeed novel, and even Huo Sining has a strong interest in it.

After all, she has the eye of heaven in her hands, and the tasting of these items only takes a few seconds for her, so she estimates that in these five days, she may be able to touch all the items on the entire black market.

Adrien and Windsor Radder didn't know what Huo Sining was thinking, they were from English aristocracy, and after seeing more things, some ordinary things naturally disappeared from their eyes, so after entering the building, after seeing some items, Adrien couldn't help but shake his head.

Huo Sining came to the black market, on the one hand, she wanted to buy a few Chinese antiques to go back, on the other hand, she also wanted to take the opportunity to observe, to see what kind of things Adrien liked, the so-called knowing herself and knowing the enemy, invincible, she wanted to take down the Chinese cultural relics in Adrien's collection room, the most important point is to find out Adrien's preferences first, and then she can take out the European antiques that make Adrien feel excited to trade with him.

At this time, Huo Sining felt a little pity, if it was Picasso's painting, Adrien and even his family would definitely accept it without hesitation, but where in the world are there so many Picasso's ancient paintings that she can pick up? To be able to find these sketches on that sunken ship is already the biggest pie God has given her.

However, to Huo Sining's surprise, many of the booths were filled with things such as mirrors, clocks, candlesticks, chandeliers, vases, etc., which were very popular with Chinese people.

This made Hothnin feel quite puzzling, and it was only after Adrien explained that he understood why.

"In Europe, the amount of wealth a man possesses is not judged by his car and his clothes, but by going to his house to see the antiquities he has, and generally speaking, the true European rich have at least five antiquities per capita, and the more the better. ”

It was no wonder that Adrien would take her to see his collection after bringing her into the castle, thinking that the things in those collections were what Adrien thought could show his identity and wealth.

It's just that, unlike Huo Sining's knowledge and deep-rooted concepts in China, Chinese antique furniture often uses precious wood, such as huanghuali, rosewood, golden silk nanmu, etc., which are very rare and rare woods;

However, European antique furniture is more inclined to basic wood in the selection of materials, such as cherry, oak and other common wood, the most precious is only the choice of cherry, mahogany these materials, the wood itself is not expensive.

And because of the difference in the value of the selected materials themselves, the value of European antique furniture is more reflected in its craftsmanship.

Completely different from the historical status of the ancient craftsmen of the Chinese Kingdom, the old European craftsmen were very important to craftsmen, these craftsmen were regarded as the builders of the soul, and the ancient painters and sculptors had the same status as the owners, they created and carved, and made money on the furniture, and these furniture finished products were also considered works of art.
