Although there are only a few entries in the vast historical texts, some scholars have always questioned the authenticity of this small country.

The cultural relics stolen by Luo Xu and Wang Baxian from the tomb of the Ju royal family can be said to fill this gap, which can strongly prove that the Ju Kingdom is real.

Long Baichuan is not only an ancient player, but also a historian, and his profound historical skills have made many professors in famous universities bow down. The domestic academic community is often proud of the opportunity to communicate with Long Baichuan, which shows how profound his academic accomplishment is.

At about half past one in the morning, footsteps came from upstairs, and Ryusi walked down with four people. Among the three of them, there is also a woman who is still charming, well-maintained, and looks like she is only in her thirties, and I don't know how old her age is.

"I've seen Old Man Long!"

After the four of them came down, they said hello to Long Baichuan in unison.

Long Baichuan nodded slightly, "The four of you are all old friends, I promise that tonight's things will make you excited." The people who can come here are all powerful collectors, so I won't say more, let Xiao'er introduce you to today's seller. ”

Long Si stepped forward, pulled Luo Xu in front of the four of them, and said with a smile: "The antiques to be auctioned tonight belong to this Boss Luo." Boss Luo, let me introduce you to these four big collectors. Ladies preferred......"

After listening to Long Si's introduction, Luo Xu knew the lives of these four. One of the two white-bearded people has the surname "Shan", one surname "Zhou", the other middle-aged man has the surname "Qiu", and the rest of the sultry woman has the surname "Rong".

Everyone just knows what each other's last name is, but they don't know the first name. It doesn't matter, it's just an auction, not a blind date.

After Long Si finished his introduction, he said, "Please move and come here to see tonight's protagonist." ”

The four of them were all waiting for this moment, and no one spoke, quietly walking to the side of the case. Ryusi carefully removed the black cloth covering the clay pot, then took a step back and made a gesture of please.

Shan Lao and Zhou Lao both took out their glasses from their pockets and put them on, they were old, and their eyesight was more or less than before, especially in this dimly lit basement, they needed glasses to see clearly.

The collector surnamed Qiu and the lady Rong also looked a little excited when they saw the clay pot in front of them. They are all well-known collectors in China, and there are very few things that can excite them.

Now is the time to test your eyesight, if anyone thinks this is a fake, you can immediately turn around and leave, no one will stop him, this is the rule of the underground auction of antique dealers.

According to the rules, they are not allowed to touch things with their hands until they do not belong to them, they can only see them with their eyes. Of course, if you don't care about the image, you can also put your nose up and smell it.

In the process of verifying the authenticity, these experts will also set a price for the item, and if the starting price exceeds their psychological expectations, they can also turn around and leave.

These four are all masters, and they definitely don't smell with their noses regardless of the image, they can identify the authenticity of antiques with just a pair of eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, the four of them probably had a count in their hearts. The basement was quiet, and you could hear everyone's breathing, as well as the slight crackling of the wick of the oil lamp.

None of them spoke, and the four didn't even make eye contact. When the Tao reaches a certain height, it is extreme conceit, they only trust their own judgment, and they are convinced of their own judgment, and there is no need to communicate with others.

Long Si raised the Rolex watch on his wrist and glanced at it, then walked to Long Baichuan's side and whispered in his ear, "Dad, it's time." ”

Long Baichuan nodded, cleared his throat, and asked Long Si to put the black cloth back on the clay pot.

"I'm sure you've all figured it out, so please take a seat. "Long Baichuan said.

There were only a few old chairs in the basement, and the four of them sat down. Because Ms. Rong was wearing a cheongsam with a high slit, after sitting down, almost her entire thighs were exposed, and in the dim light, the round and slender pair of ** glowed with cold light, just like the white jade.

Before again, the Long family had already revealed the starting price of the antiques to be auctioned tonight to the four people who came here. They are all big collectors who have the strength to take this clay pot, otherwise they would not be qualified to be invited by the Long family at all.

The underground auctions of antiques shops are very different from ordinary auctions, with no auctioneers bidding and no one hitting a hammer.

Long Baichuan only said "Let's start", and the four of them began to bid. They seem to use sign language, but it is not the same as normal sign language. Luo Xu was confused on the side, and after thinking about it, he realized that this might be the "black talk" of their industry, which laymen can't understand.

The four bidders did not use their mouths, but used their hands to make all kinds of strange movements, which was very different from ordinary sign language.

It was the first time Luo Xu had seen such a quiet auction.

The auction was presided over by Long Baichuan himself, Luo Xu and Long Si were idle, and the two stood aside and watched.

Among the seven people present, only Luo Xu was a layman and couldn't understand their gestures, Long Si could understand them, and the expression on his face also changed with the bidding changes of the four people in the field.

Luo Xu wanted to ask Long Si what those gestures meant, and he swallowed them back several times. At this time, if you open your mouth and break the silence here, it will seem that you are too composed.

Twenty minutes have passed, and the auction is still not over. Although Luo Xu couldn't understand the gestures of the four people, he could understand Long Si's expressions. Judging by Ryusi's expression, he was visibly excited, because so far, the bidding had exceeded their previous estimates.

The auction is not over yet, and judging from the trend, tonight's transaction price will be much higher than Long Baichuan's estimate.

Gradually, Luo Xu found that the middle-aged man surnamed Shan Lao and Qiu had withdrawn from the competition, because they had never made gestures again. So far, the price of the clay pot has been much higher than their psychological expectations, and there is no need to chase it.

They are all mature collectors, backed by a consortium, collecting antiques for investment, they have to be responsible for the big consortium behind them, if they blindly chase the high and photograph this clay pot, in case the income is not ideal, or even lose money, lose the trust of the consortium, they will disappear in the antique world.
