"Huanglongyu seed material, three kilograms, the reserve price is 30,000, now the auction is open!"

With the sound of a gavel, the auction officially began.

"This is a rare and excellent seed material, you see this color - bright yellow, this oily - slippery, this transparency - the same as glass, this roundness, like a discus, don't miss it when you pass by, and hurry up to quote it. ”

"No. 1 raises a card, 40,000. ”

"No. 2 holds up the card, 50,000. ”

"No. 8 raises the card, 55,000 ......"

The auctioneer, a bearded man in a crisp tuxedo, shouted in a hoarse voice, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief from time to time, and beside him, there were two assistants, who kept raising the lot high, for fear that the auctioneer would not see it.

This auction is really interesting, it is not a formal place, it is on a large lawn, a temporary platform is set up in the middle, the stones are placed one by one, some are big and some are small, different colors, everyone sits in a circle, black and pressed.

Of course, everyone who wants to participate in the auction has a sign, and priority is given to sitting in the front.

"Isn't it just a yellow stone, why are so many people robbing it?"

Huang Jiulong sat in the middle position, stretched his neck and looked forward, looking at these stones fished out of the river, there were so many people interested, he expressed puzzlement, and shouted at Li Lashi.

He thought that this stone could not be eaten, but when he looked around, the eyes of thousands of people were on the stone, as if it were gold, and every time he shouted the price, the screams came and went.

In the heart of Kowloon, it is better to play with stones than to play calligraphy and painting, this calligraphy and painting auction, more than eight figures at every turn, if you have Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting, even if it is a modern Huang Binhong, Fu Baoshi's works, as long as it is genuine, one can support you full.

This stone is all over the river, a basket can be worth a few dollars, and now it is not only on the table, but there are so many people rushing to ask for it, what's going on?

It was August 30, 2007, it was a little cold, Huang Jiulong was wearing a light yellow wind coat, staring intently at the stage.

He graduated from Fuda only two years ago, worked as a stock investment consultant in a securities company called Xinye in Jinling, and had just returned to his hometown of Gutian from Jinling City to visit his sick father.

His father was a teacher of ancient Chinese language, and he taught Kowloon to write and paint when he was a child, so Kowloon now has no other hobbies, and he immerses himself in calligraphy and painting whenever he has time.

"You, you only know how to dance and ink, you are really stupid, this Huanglongyu is a baby, and the best seed material is now tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram. Li Lashi responded, his face showing disdain, and his eyes did not leave the stage for a moment.

Li Lashi likes stones very much, this time he saw Jiulong come back, he has been talking to him about the benefits of playing with stones, Jiulong does not believe it, and reasoned with the auction of calligraphy and paintings, Lashi put him back in a word: "What you say makes sense, but who has it among ordinary people? This water is so deep, like me, a person with low culture, can't play at all, the stone is different, everyone can play, if you don't believe in the value of the stone, tomorrow there will be a stone world treasure conference in Zhangzhou, you go to see it." ”

This stone world treasure conference, held on August 30 every year, is said to be the carnival day of stone friends in the stone world, everyone takes out their best stone treasure for auction, if the transaction, it will be cool.

Jiulong thought about it, seeing is believing, so he asked his mother to help take care of his father, and he took a single-row small truck in Wuling in Lashi and came to Zhangzhou.

Zhangzhou is known as the city of flowers, the biggest feature is that there are many flowers, daffodils are its city flowers, triangular plums, roses, peonies, chrysanthemums, orchids, etc., there is everything, the flowers are not thanked all year round, the fragrance of flowers is drunk.

Lashi didn't wait for Jiulong to reply, and hurriedly raised the card: "No. 12, 60,000." ”

Before the words fell, a person with a No. 10 card directly called 100,000.

The whole venue fell silent.

Everyone thinks this man is crazy, no matter how valuable this stone is, the price is too high.

The auctioneer shouted 100,000 yuan three times in a row, and when he saw that no one answered, he shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the No. 10 auctioneer, this superb wax stone is yours." ”

Jiulong looked at all this, and couldn't help but be speechless, obediently, who is this person sacred? He hurriedly asked Lashi, who is this No. 10, who dares to be so arrogant.

Lashi didn't take a picture, his face was gloomy, and he replied: "I don't know either, I heard that it was from other places, and his nickname is the old naughty boy." ”

The old urchin had already stood up, and with a smile on his face, he clenched his fists around: "You are so kind, I will laugh at this lot!" and then sat down slowly, looking at his expression, as if he had found a treasure.

Lot 2, GX large fossil ornament, 30 cm, reserve price of 10,000 yuan, start. The auctioneer continued.

"This is an ornament like a coffin, rectangular, with both ends upturned, everyone, this is not a bad thing, it means promotion and wealth, but it is a good omen, everyone hurry up. ”

The audience burst into laughter, and soon someone patted it away for 30,000.

Lashi didn't raise a sign this time, he felt that the big fossil was a GX stone, and he was not familiar with it, so forget it.

Subsequently, the Gobi stone, the Yangtze River stone, the Nine Dragon Bi and so on appeared one after another, and Lashi held up the cards a few times but did not take pictures, and was annoyed.

It's not that he can't shoot it, but those transactions are far higher than his psychological price, and if he really wants to shoot it, in his hometown, there is no money that he is willing to take over, and he never does anything at a loss.

However, this also shows that the outside world is very big, as long as the stone is good enough, there is no need to worry about not having a home.

Kowloon is purely here to make soy sauce, and the auction process greatly surprised him, it turns out that the circle of playing with stones is really not small, and everyone is drilling into it like a madman.

There are many kinds of these stones, most of which he has never seen, and it seems that they are not the common pebbles in the river, but they are quite colorful, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, you name it.

He occasionally looks at the online text, this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" sung and written by the world's tyrant is very popular, and the treasure theft story in it is impressive, but after all, it is written to make an illegal living, it looks very cool, which net worm really tries it, it's strange if you don't catch it, it's good today, the real Taobao story is right in front of you, it can't help but make Jiulong curious, calm down for the time being, and watch a good play.

Kowloon hadn't come back to his senses yet, and two hours had passed.

"Now the auction is a Kowloon ornament, 20 centimeters, with a reserve price of 3,000, starting. ”

"Is this a picture stone, does it look like a high-nosed foreigner?" the auctioneer called for an assistant to lift up the lot and turn it around.

"Twelve, four thousand. "When I saw it, I felt that it was quite similar, and it was also in line with the price in my heart, so I hurriedly quoted.

"Eighteenth, four thousand five. ”

"Twenty, five. ”

"Twelve, five thousand five"

Seeing that someone came to grab it, Lashi was unwilling, and quoted another price, thinking that if someone else bid, he would give up.

"Five thousand five, once, five thousand five, two times, five thousand five, three times. Is there anyone else bidding?"

The auctioneer looked left and right, and the scene was silent.

"Smack! Deal!" As soon as the sound of the auction hammer fell, Lashi was overjoyed, raising his hands and shouting.

"Congratulations, Lashi, you've found a treasure. ”

Jiulong punched Lashi in the back, in fact, he didn't know whether it was worth it or not, and he must be very satisfied with Lashi's cracked mouth and smirk.

Lashi is very sober, this price also represents the current value of Jiulongbi, one to show that this stone is not very outstanding, just like a cat and a dog, there are still a lot of interference lines around, and secondly, Jiulongbi is still a potential stock, and not many people to speculate on it, this price is still reasonable, and it is not a loss.

Before Lashi could recover from his excitement, the auctioneer's hoarse voice shouted again: "The last lot, Jiulongbi 'Dragon King • Dragon Palace', weighs 20 tons!"

He raised his voice, then pointed to the side, "This is it." ”

Everyone looked to the edge of the lawn and saw a behemoth standing 383 centimeters long, 263 centimeters high, and 220 centimeters wide.

"Wow, that's too big!" exclaimed.

"Let's take a closer look, the front of this reddish-brown stone looks like a dragon returning to the Dragon Palace, the back is the Lingtong temple scenery, the side is like a hovering dragon that is about to take off, this is a rare heavy weapon, it is the totem of our Chinese nation, it is hard to find, the reserve price - 880,000!"

The auctioneer shouted in a deliberately lengthened tone.

Everyone looked at each other, this thing is indeed rare, but who can afford this price?

As soon as Lashi heard about Jiulongbi, he came to the spirit, and the stone species in his hometown, he liked Jiulongbi, and when he heard the price, it was like a frosted eggplant, and suddenly it wilted.

Jiulong's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, this stone looks big enough, grand enough, but 880,000 to buy such a stone, this person is either a fool or a madman, with this money, it is better to buy a house to live in is more cost-effective, as far as he knows, even if a villa is built in his hometown, 600,000 is enough.

As expected, no one shouted the price, and the auctioneer just shouted in his throat, and no one responded.

Jiulong also felt a little regretful, it seems that today's play is sung here, and he is about to go out with Lashi.

"That's the end of today's auction!" the auctioneer also sounded the final gavel.

"Wait—I want to!"

A middle-aged man who was not tall, with curly hair, a mustache, and a gray shirt slowly walked to the center of the auction table and said softly.

"Wow, it's Mr. Wang Tianran, a big coffee in Jiulongbi, and I've watched a drama now. ”

Lashi was pulled by Kowloon and was about to go back, but when he saw this formation, he immediately stopped.

This teacher Wang is in Zhangzhou, but he is a god-like existence, Lashi wanted to see him several times, but he was rejected for various reasons, either too busy, or to have a meeting, Lashi didn't know, why, I saw it at the auction today, Lashi was too excited.

"Mr. Wang, do you really want it? Then the bottom price is closed, your vision is really high!"

The auctioneer's beard also cocked, which was a sincere admiration.

"But I don't have that much money. ”

Wang Tianran replied unhurriedly, his eyes formed into a line, which made the second monk puzzled.

"Isn't this a trick? I don't have the money to pretend to be an uncle!"

The crowd erupted in laughter.
