Chapter 763: Recovering Cultural Relics

The plane Xu Fang took at night took twelve hours to fly directly to Yingguo. Xu Fang calculated the time to buy the ticket, and when he arrived at Yingguo Lundun, it was exactly nine o'clock in the morning of the time here.

Find a hotel to settle down first, this auction will only start at two o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Fang is not in a hurry.

After putting away the luggage, Xu Fang took Lin Xiangxue to find a restaurant and start eating.

After eating, Xu Fang hired a car and walked around Lundun together.

Lundun is the cultural, economic, political and financial center of Yingguo, and it is also a world-famous tourist destination, with residents from all over the world. There are more than 300 museums and galleries, and more than 400 music scenes.

There are also many shops with a wide variety of goods.

Women love bags, and Lin Xiangxue is naturally no exception. In the time of hanging out with Xu Fang, he has already bought two valuable bags.

"The price of this pack is really not cheap. Xu Fang sighed with emotion after paying the money.

"That's for sure, the skins in this bag are made from the finest cowhides, but they won't use them if there is the slightest blemish. And then these bags have to be sewn by hand, and even sewing machines can't exist. The requirements for materials and the master's sewing skills are extremely high. Lin Xiangxue explained to Xu Fang.

Lin Xiangxue explained to Xu Fang, and Xu Fang's mind turned rapidly.

He looked at all the shops that Lin Xiangxue wandered around, and it cost seven or eight thousand to convert the cheaper bags into Huaxia coins, and the expensive prices soared to hundreds of thousands.

Although it is difficult to find good cowhide, Xu Fang really has no shortage of cowhide. Now in cooperation with the natural green farm of Xiulan Group, they can produce a lot of cowhide every day. If you want to do it, you can choose it.

However, all this was sewn by hand, and Xu Fang didn't think clearly about where to find a master of making bags for a while.

Following Lin Xiangxue around for a long time, the two were a little tired, so they found a place to have another meal, put the purchased items back to the hotel, and Xu Fang and Lin Xiangxue rushed to the location of the auction.

It started at three o'clock in the afternoon, and at two forty-five o'clock, Xu Fang and Lin Xiangxue came to the auction place.

The auction is huge, and from the outside it looks elegant, and the building has a sense of history.

Admission tickets were provided, and the security guard at the door let Xu Fang and Lin Xiangxue in.

The inside of the auction is similar to that in China, with the auction table at the front and several rows of tables under the stage.

This auction is very magnificent, the seats are all leather, and it is very comfortable to sit on.

Xu Fang and Lin Xiangxue found a seat and sat down, and after chatting for a while, a blue-eyed and big-nosed Yingguo person walked onto the stage.

This man is in his forties, with gold-rimmed glasses and a suit and leather shoes.

First bowed to everyone, the man said elegantly: "Dear gentlemen and girls, good afternoon, I am Andrew, the auctioneer of this time, I am very happy to be here at this auction, as you know, this auction is very cultural, every thing in it is worth cherishing, and it has its own unique story." ”

After a string of opening statements, there is a cabaret performance.

Xu Fang and Lin Xiangxue were not interested in this, chatting and waiting for the auction to start.

Fortunately, the auction also knew that everyone's time was precious, and after the cabaret performance, Andrew walked quickly onto the stage and said with a smile: "Everyone, now let's welcome the first auction lot with warm applause." ”

In a burst of deafening music, a beautiful woman from Yingguo came out with a tray.

Andrew put the things on the tray on the table and said with a smile: "From a distance, this is just a bowl, but this bowl has an extraordinary origin, this is a cultural relic from China, produced in the Yuan Dynasty." The porcelain level of the Yuan Dynasty is unique in the world, and you look at the patterns on it, lifelike, like ocean waves. What's even more commendable is that you can feel the breath of time at a glance. The reserve price for the auction is $50,000, and each increase must not be less than $500, and the auction begins!"

"The value of Yuan Qinghua is extraordinary, but what is the price of this bowl, Xu Fang, can you see it?" Lin Xiangxue asked.

Xu Fang's eyesight is very good, Xu Fang can see the bowl clearly, nodded and said: "There are no flaws, the texture is also very good, and the craftsmanship of the porcelain burner is very high." At such a high level, it must have been fired in an official kiln. The reserve price of 50,000 US dollars is converted into nearly 330,000 Chinese coins, and the bidding price is expected to reach 2 million. ”

"Is this expensive?, do we want to bid for it?" asked Lin Xiangxue.

Xu Fang smiled slightly, and said chicly: "Today, if there are cultural relics from Huaxia, no matter how much the price is, bring them all back!"

Lin Xiangxue also smiled: "The auction price of the historical relics is not very high, and it is not a big problem to buy it back, it is a big deal to sell more mobile phones." ”

Xu Fang's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, this group of people opened the door of the Huaxia Qing Dynasty and robbed us of how many treasures. Lao Tzu wants to earn all the money of these people. ”

At this time, the bidding for the Yuan blue and white porcelain bowl also came to an end, and the price also reached 180,000 US dollars.

And now, a black man and a white man are still bidding, and it is obvious that the two have already met.

Xu Fang didn't have time to accompany these people to ink more, so he also made a price: "280,000 US dollars." ”

As soon as Xu Fang's price came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. directly raised the price by $100,000, which is not something that ordinary people can do. And if it is a little bit of money, the previous people may feel that it is a pity to abandon it, and they will grit their teeth and insist on it again at the price of 280,000 yuan.

But suddenly such a big contrast scared many people away.

The auctioneer asked three times in a row, and after finding that no one was following the price, he also smiled and said, "Congratulations to this gentleman, who brought back such exquisite porcelain for only 280,000 US dollars." ”

280,000 US dollars, equivalent to less than 1.85 million Chinese dollars. This price was lower than Xu Fang's estimate, and Xu Fang did not hesitate and paid the bill directly by card.

Because the auction is global, the U.S. dollar is also in high circulation.

Xu Fang had exchanged a lot of money before he came, and he had plenty of money in his hands.

The second item is also a cultural relic of China, the triangular bronze tripod, which belongs to the Xia and Shang era, and the price is higher.

In the fierce competition between all parties, in the end, it was still killed by Xu Fang's high price, and the second item fell into Xu Fang's hands again. And this item cost Xu Fang 6 million yuan.

At this moment, many people looked at Xu Fang with a little more jealousy. Why is this guy so rich?

When Xu Fang bought the third auction item for $1.03 million, everyone regarded Xu Fang as their biggest competitor. This one, equivalent to Huaxia coins, also costs 6.8 million.

There were only three items, and Xu Fang spent almost fifteen million, and the antique thing really burned money. No wonder there is an old saying in this industry: if you don't open for three years, you will eat for three years.

The fourth item is a ruby, although it is not from China, but because of its relatively large size, it is also sought after by people.

Xu Fang has always been able to carve, and his master, the old man Qin Ding, is also very fond of these precious carving materials. Even if Xu Fang usually didn't have time to carve it, it was excellent to give it to Qin Ding, and he didn't hesitate to make a move.

Many jewelers come to this auction with the aim of this fine ruby. However, when they bid, they also have to consider costs and profits. If the purchased stone is processed into handicrafts, and the final sale price is not as expensive as the raw materials, they naturally do not do this business.

But Xu Fang doesn't care, this guy is the master of the wealth!

You give 500,000 dollars? I can pay 800,000 dollars.

If you give out a million, I can give a million and a half million.

In the end, this superb ruby was bought back by Xu Fang for a high price of 2.8 million US dollars.

Converted into Huaxia coins, this will cost 18.4573 million yuan.

When they heard Xu Fang's bidding price, the surrounding jewelers collapsed directly. Big brother, you have spent so much money on this raw material, even if you process it, can you have 10% of the total profit? Is this especially worth your busy work? If the profit can be enriched by 30%, everyone can accept it, but Xu Fang directly raised the cost price of raw materials to the price they sold, and they naturally will not follow the price.

It is also a loss that Xu Fang has money, otherwise this money really can't be burned.

Xu Fang's posture of taking all the treasures into his arms also annoyed many people. Since you want to buy it, since you have the money, then let you lose enough!

Some people with bad hearts are ready, and when Xu Fang asks for a price again, they will quote a higher price, and they can pit this kid for one point.

As everyone expected, the fourth item was brought out, which is still not a cultural relic of China, but an ivory carving of Taiguo.

Xu Fang looked at it and liked it, and followed a price of 200,000 US dollars, and those people with bad intentions saw Xu Fang's bid, and they all laughed tacitly, and directly raised the price.

Originally, the price of ivory, Xu Fang estimated that 800,000 US dollars was already sky-high, but he didn't expect that after he shouted the price, the price soared directly to 2 million US dollars.

Hearing this price, Xu Fang couldn't help but smack his tongue, who is this such a tyrant, you are so rich, you can buy it yourself.

Those people who are constantly raising prices are happy when they call the price, but only now do they suddenly find that the main owner of the dam has been silent?

Everyone turned their heads to look, but found that the righteous lord was eating the fruit on the table calmly, and almost vomited blood one by one.

Why did this grandson suddenly coward?

The person who finally asked for the price had to be wronged once, and he wanted to eat him raw when he looked at Xu Fang's eyes.

Xu Fang himself didn't know that because this item was not Huaxia's Xu Fang did not bid, he avoided many people who wanted to fake the price and maliciously raise the price.

The seventh and tenth items are cultural relics from China. Xu Fang was not polite, and threw more than 30 million Huaxia coins in one go, and pocketed these cultural relics.

As the auction came to a close, finally, the second item was taken out.

Generally, in large auctions, the penultimate item is called the finale, and the last item is called the finale.

That is, while the last item is precious, the penultimate item is the most precious.
