The reason why Zhang Tianyuan paid a high price was that he didn't want Jun Ruhai to suffer, after all, Jun Ruhai had a good relationship with him, and he didn't want Jun Ruhai to be trapped.

On the other hand, he doesn't like to be used as a gunman, so he wants to trap people who follow the trend.

Sure enough, after he paid 300,000, another wave of bidding began, although they were all relatively small, but in the end, when they arrived at Fu Message, it became 400,000.

Jun Ruhai and Zhang Rusheng did not bid again, they wanted to give Zhang Tianyuan a little face, on the other hand, the risk of 400,000 yuan was a little too big, and in the case of not being very sure, whether it was Jun Ruhai or Zhang Rusheng, they were unwilling to bid more.

"Okay, now the asking price of Gao Guyu has reached 400,000, while the bronze furnace is 70,000, the bronze sword is 50,000, is there anything higher?"

The bronze furnace and the bronze sword were both taken by the Japanese Ji Xiaolu Fenggou, and he seemed to be particularly interested in this bronze thing.

Although there are relatively few people who say that these two things are asking for the price, but with Gao Guyu's greatly unexpected price, whether it is Huli or the gold chain, my heart is happy, Huli is because of his approach, and the gold chain is of course also for money.

"Okay, since there is no more bidding, let's make a deal, and ask the two bosses to come forward and trade. Huri said very dryly, slapping the table.

He didn't have that kind of small gavel in his hand, so he could only shoot it with his hands, after all, the scale of this black market auction was relatively small, unlike the Nandu that time, so in terms of form, it was not standardized enough, but this is not a problem. Anyway, it's not a formal auction in the first place, as long as the procedure is basically completed.

Auctions are one of the oldest ways to transfer property rights. It originated from the act of public bidding for the transfer of one's surplus goods after human beings have surplus products. People started out to sell or sell their products, rather than to specialize in auctions, and it was only the convenience and success of this way of buying and selling that attracted interest and attention.

According to the relevant historical records, the auction took place in the 5th century BC. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus' Histories records the annual auction of married women held in the ancient city of Babylon. At the end of the second century AD, auction houses appeared in ancient Rome.

The auction model of modern civilization began in England in the eighteenth century. In 1744 and 1766, two auction houses were established in London, "Sotheby's" and "Christie's". It had a huge impact on the auction industry around the world for more than 250 years. In 1874, Britain's largest auction house opened a subsidiary in Shanghai, the Rusmore Auction Company.

China's auction industry appeared in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, when auction houses mostly auctioned their own acquired old goods and pawn items, and since then self-management has been accompanied by the survival and development of the auction industry.

In fact, there are many terms in auctions, and auctioneers must also have certain qualifications. For example, you must have an auctioneer qualification certificate, as well as a college degree or above and auction professional knowledge;

More than two years of experience in the auction industry;

Be of good character. Those who have been dismissed from public office or have their auctioneer qualification certificate revoked for less than five years. or those who have received criminal punishment for intentional crimes must not serve as auctioneers.

But this black market auction doesn't pay attention to these, in Zhang Tianyuan's opinion, Hu Li can definitely not be regarded as a qualified auctioneer, but he can fool, this is enough, anyway, this is not a formal auction.

Fu Message and Ji Xiaolu are both credit cards, and they can pay the bill directly by card. Nowadays, very few people carry cash, and it is not safe to do so. And it's also more cumbersome to count. After all, this is a black market, and you can report the loss of your credit card, if you lose your money, how can you report the loss.

Before leaving a message, Fu said that he didn't bring any money. To sell the jade jewelry of the Korean star in exchange for money, it is just a blind sè, in fact, he didn't bring much cash. The whole body added up to less than a thousand yuan, but he brought a credit card. There's a lot of money in it.

After Ji Xiaolu sealed the ditch and Fu left a message to pay the bill, they both looked very happy. Carefully put things away.

Zhang Tianyuan was very interested in this, he was so happy to buy fake things, he really didn't know whether to tell them the cruel truth. In fact, he also wondered, Fu left a message before he bought jadeite and was fooled, this time he didn't learn a lesson, and he had to fight with others, it was really because he was too rich, so he could spend it casually?

But through this matter, he also felt the excitement of this black market auction, to be honest, if he didn't have a six-character true formula, then simply rely on his own ability to identify the Han Dynasty ancient jade, it is not easy at all, after all, the identification time is only ten minutes, but he really identified a thing, then at least half an hour is the most, and this Han Dynasty ancient jade workmanship is very exquisite, the level of imitation is even better, just look at Jun Ruhai and Zhang Rusheng, those two are experts, although they are not jade experts, but the awareness of jade is still very high, when the treasure of China program, Zhang Tianyuan has seen it, but both of them were blinded and almost spent a lot of money on a fake.

Originally, Zhang Tianyuan didn't plan to say anything, but after Fu Yiyi got the so-called Han Dynasty Gao Guyu, he actually came over and nodded at Nie Zhen and him, and then said with a smile: "The two of you have agreed, I will buy this thing, and I promise not to fight with the two of you for the next thing." ”

Fu thought very well, he saw that Zhang Tianyuan needed this thing, so he planned to buy it and surprise Zhang Tianyuan, to be honest, this intention is good, why don't you buy it if you don't understand, you said you buy a fake one to give away, this is not like words.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled at Fu's message, and smiled naturally, but it could be seen that he was very uncomfortable, in fact, he wanted to laugh, but people didn't say anything excessive, it was not good to laugh at himself, forget it.

After Fu left a message and walked away, Zhang Tianyuan lowered his voice and said to Nie Zhen on the side: "Alas, sometimes I really don't understand the rich people now, you say that you say 400,000 yuan to buy a tree jade, and I don't know what to be happy about." Although the tree jade is also quite valuable, it is not a high ancient jade after all. ”

"What is Tree Jade?" Nie Zhen asked suspiciously.

Although he believed what Zhang Tianyuan said. It is certainly not the ancient jade of the Han Dynasty, but it looks like that and the workmanship. How much should it be worth, so I asked.

"Let's put it this way, tree jade is actually the fossil of a tree. It belongs to petrified wood, and it is different from ordinary petrified wood because of its crystal clear appearance. Over the course of its long history, vast tracts of primeval forests have been buried underground by the vast forces of nature. Under the environment of soaking in silica under high pressure, low temperature and oxygen-free environment, the carbon in the trees is gradually replaced by silica, and some of the original characteristics of the trees are partially retained, and some mineral elements of the surrounding rock formations are incorporated to form colorful substances. This is petrified wood, also known as fossilized wood. After a long geological period, in the continuous change of temperature and pressure, the petrified wood underwent differential metamorphism, recrystallization, and the main component was converted into opal chalcedony, which is the tree jade, also called wood jade. ”

"Anyway, it's a fossil, right, is it worth a fortune?" Although Nie Zhen probably understood what Zhang Tianyuan meant. But he was more interested in whether this thing was worth anything.

Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said, "The formation of tree jade requires extremely harsh geological environmental conditions. The probability of the formation of paleontological fossils is only one in a million, and the probability of forming arboretic jade is even lower. As the world's largest producer of jadeite, Myanmar has unique conditions for the formation of tree-shaped jade. It is also the country with the richest storage of tree jade found in the world. Due to the non-renewable particularity of natural fossils, one mining in the world will have one less underground storage. This cannot but be said to be a loss for mankind.

Tree jade is a treasure left by nature to mankind. It is also one of the national treasures of Myanmar, and it has immeasurable scientific research value for the study of the meteorology, geography, plants, animals and the history of the development of the earth in the ancient period of Myanmar.

And Shuhua Yuyi left the homeland. Leaving the place where it was unearthed, this value is immediately greatly reduced, leaving only the ornamental value. The Government of Myanmar certainly understands this value. Therefore, while actively declaring cultural heritage to the United Nations, the Myanmar government has also repeatedly declared in the country that it cannot be excavated or exported, and has formulated many strict measures to prevent the illegal excavation and transportation of tree jade.

However, driven by profits, the villagers in Myanmar ignored the government's laws and regulations, wantonly dug up, took advantage of the loopholes in the country's management, and all kinds of tree jade swarmed out, resulting in the storage resources of Myanmar tree jade shrinking day by day. Some experts worry that after three to five years, it may be difficult to find tree jade in Myanmar. Therefore, Myanmar is bound to adopt stricter laws to prohibit smuggling, and the supply of goods in the market will become increasingly scarce. ”

"Does that sound like it's very valuable?" Nie Zhen asked in surprise, "Although it's a fake Han Dynasty ancient jade, according to what you say, that thing is also quite valuable." ”

Zhang Tianyuan didn't refute, but nodded and said: "You're right, the massive mining of Shuhua jade makes people ignore its precious scientific value and rarity, and only collect it as a general natural artwork. It must be known that in the past, people found a kind of diamond, whether it was a treasure, they traveled to exchange, relying on a horse team composed of several horses, over the mountains and mountains, trekking through mountains and rivers, and maybe only a few sacks were transported out of the hard work for several months. And now the large trucks of several tons and dozens of tons are transported out, which not only tramples on and wastes the resources of Shuhua jade, but also severely impacts the market, so that the market value and actual value of Shuhua jade are strictly separated. Now the price of tree jade in the market is actually far from reaching its due value, once people look back and fully realize this, then, its value will quickly move closer to its due value.

In addition, the texture and various physical indicators of tree jade obviously exceed the existing nephrite, and some even surpass jadeite, entering the ranks of gemstones. However, the sudden outpouring of Burmese tree jade has caused people to ignore its actual value and rarity, and regard it as ordinary jade. In particular, some of the high-quality precious jade species are also circulated in the market as ordinary materials, which is embarrassing.

Scarcity is expensive.

It can be concluded that over time, the tree jade will reflect a very high collection value. At present, some sellers in China, such as southwest China, have clearly put forward an equivalent recall commitment, as long as you buy his products, whenever you want to renege, they promise to unconditionally recover the original price, in order to eliminate the concerns of some collectors. If the merchant does not have absolute confidence in the collection value of the tree jade, he will not dare to make this promise. In fact, some precious tree jade is like green material, and its price has risen more than ten times in just two years. (To be continued......)
