Regardless of whether the thing is clean or not, without asking the source, without inquiring about the seller's situation, the black market auction cannot even guarantee the authenticity of the thing, whether it can be seen or not, it all depends on their own vision and ability.

The black market itself is like an intermediary house, a bridge between tomb robbers and collectors, buying low and selling high, earning intermediate profits, and being responsible for keeping the tomb robbers secrets and taking a part of the risks.

As for whether the thing was just unearthed or stolen, they didn't care. Basically, the people who come here to auction are either freshly unearthed cultural relics or stolen goods, and if they are legitimate, they will go directly to the auction houses on the market, and they will not get here at all.

These owners who come to participate in the black market auction are obviously very aware of this, but these people have some status and connections in society, even if the source of the cultural relics is unknown, they also have a way to clear the way to whitewash these things.

At about eight o'clock, Hong Si walked to a table at the front of the room and said in an open voice: "Bosses, the auction will start soon!"

In just one sentence, there was no more nonsense, he stretched out his palm and slapped it three times, and two big men came in outside, carrying a large object covered with a red cloth.

Seeing this big man, the people below couldn't help but whisper, guessing what was covered under the red cloth.

"The first auction is the chiming bell ornament of Jiale Tang, with a reserve price of 500,000 yuan, and interested bosses can come up and take a look!"

Hong Si slammed the red cloth open, and a fine ornament made of rosewood was revealed.

The pendulum clock under the chiming clock still swayed from side to side very regularly, and there was a ticking sound from inside the clock, and the hour hand was on time.

"Where is Jiale Hall?" someone at the bottom asked in a whisper.

Qin Lianshan sat in front of him, and when he heard Hong Si say Jiale Hall, his eyes suddenly showed a look of shock.

It's normal for people in Tengchong not to know about Jiale Hall, but if they think of Qin Lianshan and their old Beijing, there is no one who doesn't know the place of Jiale Hall.

Jiale Tang, that is where He Shen lived, and He Shen published a book of poems, called "Jia Le Tang Poetry Collection", and he occasionally called himself a Jia Le Tang layman.

In the imperial capital Prince Gong's mansion, there is still the Jiale Hall of Heshen, which is also a famous tourist attraction in the capital.

It was not uncommon for the Qing Dynasty to have chiming bells, and at that time, many foreign merchants transported chiming bells, pocket watches and other items from the coastal ports of Guangzhou into the port in exchange for domestic silk, tea and other goods.

Foreign imports such as chiming bells and pocket watches were popular in **** at that time, and almost every official would be equipped with them.

Cao Xueqin once wrote in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" that when Grandma Liu first entered the Rongguo Mansion, there was a self-striking bell in Wang Xifeng's house.

However, the self-striking bell ornament in front of Hong Si, which is called Jiale Hall, is different, it is not made of traditional cypress wood or copper and iron, but the rare red sandalwood used, which is extremely expensive at first glance.

Rosewood is a kind of thing, in the Qing Dynasty belonged to the imperial wood, only the royal family or the prince's mansion dared to use it, and Shen was greedy and bold, plus by the favor of Qianlong, it is very likely to put such a thing in Jiale Hall.

However, since it is an antique, it is impossible to see the authenticity without looking at it with your eyes.

Although Qin Lianshan came to explore the thousand-year-old tomb, but such a good thing was sent to the door, and he really couldn't get on this black market if he didn't touch it, so without waiting for others to react, he took the lead and stood up.

This is also the rule of the black market, unlike other regular auction houses, the black market auction does not guarantee that everything is genuine, so as long as the things put out look like, buyers can go up and check on their own, and then bid after being optimistic, and the highest bidder wins.

Because of his geographical advantage, Qin Lianshan fully interpreted the word "quick eyes and quick hands", and took the first step to walk to the chiming bell and looked at it carefully.

Huo Sining naturally followed behind Qin Lao, and the other people who wanted to see this self-striking bell all consciously lined up behind Huo Sining, and they all waited quietly when Qin Lianshan was looking at things, and no one urged.

After Qin Lao finished reading it, Huo Sining also followed closely.

This self-striking bell looks at the shape is indeed produced in the Qing Dynasty, the rosewood wood on the self-striking bell is very good, look at the texture to know that it is made of a hundred years of imperial wood, the carved pattern carved on it is Fu Lu Suxi, meaning auspicious Ruyi, health and longevity, is a kind of pattern carving commonly used in the Qing Dynasty.

Under the red sandalwood, there are also carved "Jiale Tang" three seal script fonts, the hands inside the bell are made of white jade, and belong to the high-quality mutton fat white jade, without a trace of impurities, exudes a unique sense of warmth and swallowing of mutton fat jade.

Huo Sining probed his hand, and soon the eye of heaven opened, and as far as the eye could see, from the red sandalwood to the mutton fat jade inside, there was a faint purple gas, looking at the concentration of purple gas, it was indeed something from Qianlong to Jiaqing.

Huo Sining's fingers caressed the surface of the chiming bell, the hand was warm and smooth, the pulp was not too thick, but it was very atmospheric, and it was very well preserved, there were no scratches at all, it can be seen that the owner who owns it is very cherished.

This kind of thing is undoubtedly a big thing, although Huo Sining has not seen other Qing Dynasty chiming bells, but she also knows that such a thing must be worth a lot, it must be more than 500,000.

Seeing Huo Sining walking down, Qin Lianshan didn't speak, but just asked Huo Sining with his eyes.

Huo Sining bowed his head slightly almost imperceptibly, to the effect of telling Qin Lianshan that this thing was real.

It's not a royal thing, and it dares to use imperial wood, and it is also an item in the Jiaqing period of Qianlong, and this self-striking bell is probably only Jialetang dares to put it.

After seeing the things, they started bidding, and the voices of shouting in the house came and went, but Qin Lianshan and Huo Sining did not speak.

Although this chiming bell is real, the price is not low, and when the final three hammers are finalized, this Jialetang chiming bell was auctioned away for 3.7 million.

The first thing was such an object that opened the door widely, which made everyone present a little excited.

But obviously, these people are happy too early, Hong Si is worthy of being a businessman, and he specializes in black market business, he can grasp the rhythm of the black market and the emotions of buyers, after stimulating buyers with a genuine product with a wide open door, the few things that come up next are of mediocre quality, either fakes or things from the Republic of China, not much to see.

"The following thing is a group of pictures, one is Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and the other is unknown, the reserve price of this set of pictures is 30,000. (To be continued.) )
