Xiao Peng nodded: "Now I owe Pa Ji a favor." Damn, fortunately, we don't have any IRS in Huaxia, otherwise our rich circle in the entertainment industry in Huaxia would be extinct! I want to go back and remind Lao Huang that the tax on the horse farm must not evade taxes, otherwise it will be really a big trouble. ”

"They're more experienced than you and may avoid taxes, but they're definitely not going to evade taxes. Jimma persuaded.

Xiao Peng still wanted to talk, but a host came up to the stage, and the auction had begun!

This host is not a priest of this church, but an auctioneer of serious eight scenes. It's called a slip, and the auction method is also very interesting, and it is different from the usual auction.

After the greetings, he took out the first lot and displayed it in front of everyone, which was a small carving of a human head: "The first lot of today is a pipe excavated from the Lycian Spring in the Stars and Stripes, which is a thousand years old. It is a museum-level collection. As you can see, this is a jade carved skull style, and it has ornate symbols on it. This is an item belonging to the Olmec civilization of Central America. At that time, it was believed that the skull could communicate with the deceased, all of which were peculiar shapes. ”

However, it should be pointed out that this particular jade did not come from North America, which indicates that there was already trade between North Americans and Central Americans at that time. This pipe is supposed to be a sorcerer's or leader's royal item. Pay attention to the totem pattern above, according to expert research, this pipe belongs to 500 BC, and has a history of more than 2,600 years. A thousand euros for the price, does anyone make a bid?"

Xiao Peng looked at the pipe, it was not gray, it didn't look like it was made of jade, and his first thought when he saw the pipe was: Is this a garlic mortar in the shape of a human head?

This pipe, no matter its color or size, is too much like the garlic mortar commonly used in Chinese people's homes! There is a hole in the back of the portrait, which should have been the place where the cigarette stick was placed, but after so many years, the cigarette stick should have rotted long ago.

Holding a big 'garlic mortar' and smoking? I'm drunk just thinking about that picture! Besides, what kind of jade product is this? What kind of broken jade is it!

As a result, there were really people bidding for this 'garlic mortar', and someone raised the beat, and the host said directly: "No. 472 is one thousand, one thousand five hundred euros, one thousand five hundred euros! One thousand five hundred euros!" Someone next to him held up a sign again: "232 thousand five hundred euros." Two thousand euros! Two thousand euros! Okay, that lady has two thousand euros! Two thousand five hundred euros, two thousand four hundred euros, all right, two thousand four hundred euros, two thousand four hundred euros, two thousand eight hundred euros, two thousand eight hundred euros, two thousand seven hundred euros, two thousand seven hundred euros, two thousand six hundred euros, okay! two thousand six hundred euros, two thousand six hundred euros, two thousand six hundred euros, two thousand six hundred euros

This host speaks very quickly, and keeps shouting out the price in his mouth, if someone raises a sign when he shouts the price, he will directly say the next price, if no one raises a card, he will lower the price and let people continue to bid. If no one bids, the deal will be announced. This auction method can greatly shorten the auction time, and is most suitable for this kind of auction of large quantities.

Jimma asked curiously, "Honey, don't you like this pipe?" I thought you could still take a picture. ”

Xiao Peng shook his head: "What am I going to buy it for? Put it there to see? Don't you think it's too ugly? Or let me fix it and smoke it in my hand? Such a big bowl of tobacco will be directly promoted to immortal when I finish smoking! What? Do you like it? If you like it, I'll buy it and give it to you!"

Jimma's head shook like a rattle: "No, no, no, this thing is so ugly! I'm here today to play with you." I don't have anything I want to buy. ”

In the end, the pipe was sold for 4,700 euros, and Xiao Peng really wanted to go home and buy a stone garlic mortar to chisel a human head and sell it to him。。。。。。

As soon as Jimma finished saying that she didn't have the toys she wanted to buy, her eyes widened on the second lot, and Xiao Peng was a little dumbfounded when she looked at the lot.

Well, it's two rag dolls? about forty centimeters tall, and they're ugly, with round heads and round brains, and they look terrible. A little boy, a little girl, well, the two dolls look exactly the same, the only difference is that the male doll's hair is an explosive head, and the female doll's hair is tied in two braids. Jimma actually took a fancy to them?

Holding two square paper cards, the host introduced: "This precious lot is the original cauliflower doll produced in 1978, which is two matching birth certificates and adoption certificates to prove its identity. Everyone knows that cauliflower dolls are never 'sold', but 'adopted', and no two cauliflower dolls are exactly the same: hair color and styling, skin tone, spots on the skin。。。。。。 Each cauliflower doll has many small features, no two dolls are exactly the same, and each one has something special. Everyone knows that the earlier the doll, the more precious it is, and in 1977 the first cabbage dolls were introduced. Only eighty were adopted that year, and the cauliflower dolls sold no more than a thousand the following year, and this was one of them. ”

After saying that, he carefully took off the pants of the two dolls and showed them on the buttocks of the dolls: "Here are two signatures, one is 'Xavier Roberts', the designer of the cauliflower dolls, and the other is Coddell Jeremy, the first director of Cleveland's 'Clauliflower Baby General Hospital', where all the cauliflower dolls were 'born', and it still attracts thousands of visitors every year! The reserve price is $100 each, and the price is double after the transaction, so you want to bid!"

Jimma looked at Xiao Peng's puzzled expression and said: "The earliest cauliflower dolls were sewn in the 'Cleveland Baby Cauliflower General Hospital', where every cauliflower doll should be called 'baby' instead of a doll, and buying this baby is called 'adoption', and each doll has a matching adoption certificate and birth certificate." When I was a child, my father gave me two, and then when I moved, I lost them, and I cried for a long time. ”

"What, you like this doll?" Xiao Peng asked.

Jimma didn't deny it: "I want to give it to Narnia." She's going to love it, look how cute they are. ”

Xiao Peng glanced at the two dolls: "Cute? It should be Han, right?" After speaking, he slapped his hand: "It's not bad to buy two dolls and go home." ”

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and directly checked the information of this cabbage doll, foreigners have the habit of collecting dolls, such as the famous Barbie doll (this thing was first invented by the Nazis, at that time it was called Lily, in order to prevent German soldiers from getting sick because of XX to make XING love dolls, and later transformed into Barbie by Ruth Handler, a woman from the Stars and Stripes), BRATZ dolls (there are only five shapes, but various clothing peripheral props, which are currently extremely popular), and the expensive Enchanted Doll (magic dolls), BJD dolls, etc., all of them have collections.

"Huh?" Xiao Peng saw a web message that made Xiao Peng quite interested: "Jima, I'll go out for a while, and you can bid, no matter how much! ”

"Huh, where are you going?" asked Jima, puzzled.

Xiao Peng shook the phone in his hand: "I'll make a call and I'll be back soon." ”

By the time he returned from the call, the auction was over. Xiao Peng sat back beside Jima: "How was it?

He said that he had to take the doll for any amount of money.

As a result, Jimma shook her head: "I didn't buy this doll." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Why? Didn't I say it? No matter how much it costs, do you have to buy this doll?"

Jima said: "I made a bid, but someone maliciously raised the price. Copied the doll to $80,000 each. Knowing that the earliest version of the cauliflower doll in 1977 was about the same price, I simply gave up. ”

Xiao Peng didn't even think about knowing who did it: "Marcela?"

Jimma nodded: "I know you're not bad for this money, but you won't be so expensive for such a doll, it's far more than its price." It would be silly to buy again. ”

That was said, but there was a visibly disappointed look on Gemma's face.

Xiao Peng patted Jima: "It's all my fault, if I'm here, no matter how much money it is, I'll take this doll down and give it to you." ”

Jimma smiled: "Just have this sentence, we can't be as stupid as that woman." ”

Xiao Peng nodded, "It's okay, I'll send you a surprise when I go back." Let's move on to the auction. ”

He really has a big surprise in store for Jimma!

When he was looking up the information of the cauliflower doll on his mobile phone just now, he found a very interesting inquiry. A husband and wife named Pat Percy and Joe Percy, Maryland, in the Stars and Stripes, decide to pack up and sell their collection of cauliflower dolls.

People who don't know about cauliflower dolls don't know about this couple, but in the circle of cauliflower doll lovers, this couple is a big name! The two of them have a private custom cauliflower doll exhibition hall called 'Enchanted Crystal Valley'. The entire memorial hall is composed of more than 5,000 cauliflower dolls and more than 3,000 cauliflower doll souvenirs, making it the largest collector of cauliflower dolls in the world. This is a collection of two people for more than 30 years!

And the packaging price of so many cauliflower dolls is only 360,000 US dollars, which can be called the price of cabbage。。。。。。 This is the hard work of the two of them for more than 30 years! The exhibition hall that puts down so many dolls is more than 500 square meters, and it is still full, and buying these dolls for Jimma is not much better than buying these two?

The Percy sold the collection cheaply for two reasons, one was because they wanted to move to California, where housing prices were much higher than Maryland, and all the money the Percy had contributed over the years to the cauliflower dolls. They still live in this cauliflower doll exhibition hall.

On the other hand, it is because the couple has been disappointed in the cauliflower doll company in recent years, because the cauliflower doll company does not value them.
