As the auction approached to begin, the crowd that had been surrounding the glass booth gradually dispersed and went to sit in front of a glittering auction table.

Only then did Li Wu have the opportunity to take a closer look at the lots in the display case.

Tang Sancai, bronze, ancient jade, official kiln porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, calligraphy and painting of modern masters, oil paintings of Western countries.

The antique calligraphy and paintings in the display case, from ancient times to the present, from domestic to foreign lots, Li Wu counted a little, and there were hundreds of them.

As the fat man said, there is indeed a problem with the lot here. Let's not talk about whether these things came from in the right way or not, just which bronzes from the Qin and Han dynasties, Li Wu can see at a glance that they are not unearthed before 49 years, and they belong to items that are prohibited from being bought and sold by the state, but they are auctioned off here.

"Wuzi, come here!" the fat man on the other side of the display case knocked on the glass.

Li Wu walked around the display case and came to the fat man's side and said, "What did you find?"

"Let's see, is this a parchment? And is this a map?"

The fat man pointed to the display case, which was half-rolled and full of lines.

"This..."Li Wu looked at it carefully for a while, "It looks a little like a parchment scroll, this should be a nautical chart, it looks like it is some years old, and the patterns on it are all hand-painted." ”

"It's really a parchment roll? This thing is also auctioned, it can't be a treasure map, right?" the fat man laughed as he said himself, if it was a treasure map, who would take it out for auction.

"Hehe... Who knows! Maybe it's really a treasure map!Okay, it seems like the auction is about to start, let's find a place to sit!" Li Wu also joked.

"Think too much!" Although the treasure map was said by the fat man first, he didn't believe that there was really a treasure map.

"The two of them are Mr. Li Wu and Mr. Wu Yong! This is what Mr. Mi asked me to hand over to you. ”

As soon as the two of them sat down, a woman in professional attire handed over a sign.

"Thank you, by the way, thank you Mr. Mi for us!"

Li Wu took the sign and saw that the sign had three Arabic numerals on it, 117. Although he didn't think he would use it either.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I am the host of this art exchange, Jack. Thank you very much for coming!"

Just as Li Wu was looking at the price tag, a Mandarin with a strange accent sounded on the platform in front of him.

Li Wu looked up and knew why the accent was so weird, the person who spoke just now was a gringo, but although the accent was weird, it could still be understood.

"Hehe... Art Fair! That's an interesting name. ”

Li Wu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and the underground auction was transformed into a tall art exchange meeting.

"Guys boos, I know you don't like to hear nonsense, so I won't talk about it! ”

"This first artwork is our No. 32 collection, an ancient jade from the Han Dynasty, which I believe everyone has seen, and is the most famous carving technique of the Han Eight Knife. ”

Don't look at the auctioneer Jack as a gringo, but he knows much more about Chinese antiques than ordinary Chinese.

"The reserve price of Hanyu is 800,000, of course, this price is a soft sister coin, not a dollar. Jack didn't forget to be humorous at the end.

"! it's so dark, I've seen that piece of Hanyu before, it's worth about 750,000 at most, and now the starting price is 800,000!"

Although the fat man is not very good at identifying the authenticity of antiques, he is clear about the price of antiques. He'd heard about the high prices here before, but today he's seen it.

"800,000, Mr. 3 is 800,000. Is there any higher, well, Mr. 6 bid 810,000. ”

"Bid 860,000 on the 27th! Is there anything higher?860,000 for the first time, 860,000 for the second time, 860,000 for the third time! Congratulations to Mr. 27 for getting our first collection of this evening!"

Perhaps because the starting price is high, the competition is not very fierce, and after a few rounds, the first lot of the night, Hanyu, was auctioned by a middle-aged man at a price of 860,000.

"Okay, congratulations to Boos No. 73, at a price of 388, he won this blue and white lotus plate from the official kiln of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!"

The auction process is very fast, it is only less than an hour, and forty or fifty antique calligraphy and paintings have been auctioned, and almost half of the display cases have been auctioned, and there is still no first-class auction.

The following collection is a hand-drawn parchment scroll nautical chart from the early 17th century. The reserve price is 380,000 yuan, and the boss who likes it is going to hurry up!"

It's just that to Jack's embarrassment, two or three minutes after he finished speaking, no one at the bottom raised his card.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a seventeenth-century parchment scroll nautical chart, you know, it was a time when piracy was prevalent, and this may be a pirate treasure map!" Jack saw that the first auction of the evening was about to appear, and immediately became anxious, and even brought out the pirate treasure.

"Alright, let's move on to the next auction!"

"Pull it down! Return the pirate treasure map, why don't you say it's Captain Jack's treasure map, by the way, he has the same name as you!"

The people below scoffed at Jack's words. The people who can come here are all people with some family backgrounds, but their money is not blown by the wind. While they may not understand the antique business, they don't believe in treasure maps.

"If you want to take out the treasure map, you will put it up for auction? Just this broken parchment scroll, you want to sell it for 380,000 yuan, but we are Kaizi!"

A young man stood up and said loudly, attracting the attention of the audience, and Li Wu saw that the person who spoke was the second cargo man they had met in the elevator before.

"That's... Okay! I declare this item flowing..."

"Wait! I want this parchment scroll for 380,000!"

Just as Jack was about to say that the auction was lost, Li Wu suddenly raised the bidding card in his hand. made the eyes that were originally on the young man turn to him, but those eyes wanted to look at the loser.

"Wuzi, what are you doing? The market price of this parchment roll is worth 38,000 at most!"

When the fat man heard Li Wu's offer, he hurriedly pulled him and whispered.

"Hehe... I said who is so stupid to pay ten times the price for something, it turns out to be you!

When the young man saw that it was Li Wu bidding, he immediately laughed in a strange way.

"It's none of your business! Our lord has money, he can spend it as he wants, can you take care of it?" Although the fat man was talking about Li Wu himself, he was stunned when he heard the young man's words.

"Hehe... Jack, shouldn't you be counting now? Li Wu didn't reply to the fat man's words, nor did he scold the young man, and directly urged Jack to report the number.
