Chapter 650: The Chairman Isn't Going Anywhere!

When it came to wooden clocks and cigarette bottles, the competition was not very fierce, as if everyone was not very interested in this thing, but Hong Tao spent less than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy back two table clocks and a Qing Dynasty snuff bottle. Originally, there was also a snuff bottle, but in the end, it was lost, saying that the hammer price was lower than the reserve price, and it was recovered by the owner. Hong Tao didn't quite understand if the auction house still had this rule, you didn't want to sell it and use it for dry hair! But he didn't dig deeper, because the next item caught his attention.

This item belongs to the textile category, it is a tapestry, and it should not be considered an old object. However, according to the introduction in the catalogue, this tapestry is still a bit of a novelty, because its content is very special. The pattern on it is a painting, called "Chairman Mao Goes to Anyuan", which was woven by a factory in Baoding in 1968 to show loyalty to the chairman. It is 2A56 meters long and 1A98 meters wide, made of wool, so finely woven that it is not visible as a tapestry from a distance, and is almost exactly the same as the original reference oil painting.

If you can do this, even the portrait of the chairman can be auctioned! If this is bought by foreigners, it will have a bad impact!" When the auctioneer on the stage introduced the origin of this tapestry, there was a sudden discussion behind Hong Tao, and there were all news reporters sitting there.

"I don't think it's anything, since Chairman Mao can go to Anyuan, can't he go to Hong Kong or Japan? Comrade, don't you want to go to the platform for everything, you have to emancipate your mind a little, and you have to take a bigger step!" Hong Tao's mouth couldn't help it again, and he turned around and said a sentence, and only after he finished saying could he see it clearly. Behind him sat a row of people, both men and women. He didn't know who said it.

"Hey, hey, hey......" A few reporters made Hong Tao happy.

"Hmph...... "A few people made Hong Tao anxious.

A few of the "......" have nothing to do with themselves, and they resolutely do not express their position. This is a ruthless person, and he will be wronged if he is not promoted!

"Shhh

"The starting price is $20,000, please bid now......" The Hu Yimao on the stage was already out of talking at this time. The auction of this tapestry has officially begun.

"Okay, $21,000 on the 9th...... $22,000 on the 31st............ No. 11 is 25,000 US dollars, and there is still a bid?" As soon as Hu Yimao's words fell, several signs were raised below, and the last ones to hold up were the three Japanese royal families sitting in front of Hong Tao's right, they were No. 11 signs.

"No. 1, twenty-six thousand dollars......" Hong Tao started again, and he then held up the sign.

This move was unstoppable, when the price rose to $45,000. Originally, there were only three left, one was a Taiwanese businessman on the 9th, and the other was a Japanese on the 11th. Another one is No. 1, Hong Tao!

"No. 1, $49,000......" Hong Tao held up the sign again.

"Boy. It's almost done, this price is already very dangerous......" Uncle Tai didn't say anything. It is estimated that he thought that Hong Tao was making trouble for others again. But the more I looked at it, the more wrong it became, and Hong Tao couldn't stop lifting it. The Taiwanese businessman had already stopped holding up his card at the time of $47,000, but Hong Tao was still holding it with the Japanese, so he had to be reminded of it.

"That's not possible, I will take back what I just said, take back half of it, the chairman and his old man can go to Hong Kong, but Wanwan and Japan should not go...... Even if you want to go, the invitation fee will have to start at 100,000 US dollars, and you can't go if it's cheap!" Hong Tao saw that the Japanese had raised the sign again, and immediately raised it himself. He could have found something interesting and meaningful to do, and he thought that forty or fifty thousand dollars would be bought by little Japan, or the chairman's tapestry, which would be too cheap for them. Although he is not an angry young man, he still has the ability to spend tens of thousands of dollars more on the chairman, and he is an old man who deserves such a luxury for himself.

"Second Master...... Second Master...... This little guy in your family is going crazy, don't you come to persuade him?" Uncle Tai only knew what Hong Tao wanted to do at this time, but he was not very familiar with Hong Tao, so he couldn't persuade deeply, so he could only call the second master sitting on the other side to come to the rescue.

"Leave him alone, he won't let you sit on wax, just toss as much as you like!" The second master didn't come, threw down a sentence, and continued to watch the excitement from a distance.

"No. 11, sixty-three thousand dollars...... No. 1, sixty-four thousand dollars, oh, No. 1 said, seventy thousand dollars...... Seventy thousand dollars, although this is a tapestry, but the historical significance is very important, seventy thousand dollars for the first time...... $70,000 Second ...... The 11th is 75,000 US dollars, oh, the 1st is raising the card again, 80,000 US dollars, 80,000 US dollars......" The auction has been going on all morning, and at this time, Hu Yijia can be regarded as showing his skills. This guy's mouth is the same as a machine gun, although Mandarin is not standard, but the words are sonorous and powerful, while reading out the price, he does not forget to brag about the items again, which is very suspicious of stirring up trouble on both sides.

"Friend No. 1 has already made a bid of $95,000, has there been a bid?!$95,000 for the first time...... $95,000 Second ...... US$95,000 No. ...... Three...... Congratulations to friend No. 1, this precious tapestry belongs to our young friend!" Hu Yimao rubbed for a few seconds under Hong Tao's murderous gaze, and then glanced at the three Japanese regretfully, and then reluctantly knocked the mallet down.

The things you buy at the auction can't be picked up on the spot in this era, because the banking system is not very developed at this time, and you can't transfer money on the spot, unless you pay in cash, you can only sign a transaction confirmation, and then pick up the goods after arriving in the account within the agreed time. However, in order to reassure the buyer, when signing the confirmation, the goods you bought will be sealed, and then the confirmation will be attached as a seal.

"I would like to ask you, why did you pay a high price for this tapestry, and is there any particular reason?". Hong Tao finished signing the confirmation form and was about to go to the hall to find the second master, when he was suddenly stopped by a man in his thirties.

“…… I don't think the chairman necessarily likes to go to Japan, so I'd better stay at home. Hong Tao frowned, a little impatient, at first he thought that this man was a reporter, and when he was about to open his mouth to hurt people, he suddenly felt that he was not quite like a reporter. He stood too straight, his waist was too straight, and he looked at people strangely.

Although Hong Tao can't see what he does, it is best not to offend unidentified people, this is common sense in society. Even if Hong Tao's mouth doesn't hurt people, he won't be happy, he has to abide by this common sense, otherwise it won't be annoying, but stupid.

"Hehehe, I think so, thank you!" The man was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, not a fake smile, but a real smile, and then waved at Hong Tao and left.

"Old man, why do you have a straight face, why don't I take it back and hang it for you for a few days?" On the way home, Hong Tao didn't seem very happy when he saw the second master in the rearview mirror.

"You better keep it for yourself, my family can't help him tossing!" The second master is really a bit of a reason, if he doesn't understand something, he has to let you guess, or they all say that people are like children when they are old.

"Well, I don't want to take it all, the biggest clock belongs to you, it's righteous enough, right? I want to take it back and put it on the table for my grandfather." Hong Tao knew that this old man had committed that tendon again, so he didn't fight with him, but began to sell well, since it was a child's temper, then coaxed.

The second master can't be said to be reactionary, but he doesn't like some people and organizations very much, so it's still light to say, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he hates. Of course, only a very few people know about this kind of relationship, such as the second grandmother, the uncle and Hong Tao. Although he can't completely agree with the second master's reason, Hong Tao also understands that whoever lets others toss and ruin his family, no one likes it in his heart, and he has to hate it when he says it.

"Lao Tai, listen to it! Listen to it! Is he talking like a human being? Give me a bell, you just dig a pit and bury it for me! He doesn't understand, he just plays with anger!" The second master not only didn't appreciate it, but also counted the waves with Uncle Tai.

"Well, old man, you can't find it if you want to find popularity next year, master, I went abroad to study after the Spring Festival, hey, hey, Hong Taostan's give! I heard that your eldest grandson seems to be studying in the United States, aren't you afraid that I will beat him up from Canada?"

"Go abroad, do you really want to go, go for a few years?" the second master didn't bother with the provocation in Hong Tao's words this time.

"Hehe, don't worry about me, I'll stay for a few months, and then I'll come back secretly, and I'll go out the year after next! But don't tell my grandfather, I don't plan to sue them, let alone my parents. "Hong Tao is really not sure to return to China during the winter and summer vacations, in case something is delayed, then he has to make up nonsense, so first greet the second master in advance, and then this old man can help himself to cover.

"Can you come back casually after studying abroad? The second master is not stupid, his own grandson is abroad, and he knows a little bit about it.

"Hey, isn't it just a nice thing to say, what to study, but when I think of a way to mix an honor certificate or something, it will be a graduation certificate. Don't worry, we're scientists now, and I'm ready to win the Nobel Prize every minute, and the principal has to give me a warm welcome when he sees me......" Hong Tao began to blow again, since he had those patent papers, he regarded himself as a scientist wherever he went, whether others believed it or not, anyway, he himself believed it.
