Chapter 434: The Old Collector's Helplessness

………… After Liu Dong shouted the price of "Zhang Menglong Monument" to 90,000, Wen Li unsurprisingly raised the price to 100,000!

Looking up, a middle-aged woman sitting on a solid wooden circle chair not far away, without the slightest expression on her face, Liu Dong frowned secretly, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said again: "One hundred and eleven thousand!"

"Huh?"

Slightly stunned, this obvious change immediately made Wen Li swallow the '120,000' that had already reached her mouth again. With a look of surprise, he looked at the young man standing next to the center of the living room with a faint smile on his face, and muttered in his heart.

The purpose of Wen Li's offer was not to buy this Wei tablet rubbing, but to stab Liu Dong fiercely, so that while he was angry, he could also have more blood and relieve the anger in his heart.

However, now Liu Dong no longer adds 11,000 to 1,000, but directly changes it to 1,000! Although this is only a simple change in number, does this mean that Liu Dong has an insight into what she thinks and has the intention of giving up buying this Northern Wei rubbing?

If this is the case, then he spent more than 120,000 yuan to buy it at a price nearly twice the market price, and this Wei Bei rubbing, which she didn't want, was ridiculed for becoming her Wenli.

"You can't take the risk, anyway, this time this time has already made this little bastard out a lot of blood, and there is a chance next!" Thinking about this, Wen Li also made a decision in her heart, and then looked up at Liu Dong and sneered: "Congratulations to Mr. Liu for buying this Wei tablet rubbing!

Liu Dong knew in his heart that there was a grudge between him and the Wen father and daughter, as well as the entire Zhong family. There is almost no possibility of resolution in this life. So at this moment, in the face of the other party's mocking words. Liu Dong will naturally not be polite.

"I dare not say that it is worth it, but from the nineties to the present, the trend of the entire antique market is very obvious, I believe that in another five or six years, like this Weibei boutique old extension, I am afraid that 120,000 will be difficult to buy!"

After a pause, Liu Dong glanced at Wen Li again and sneered: "Originally, I thought that Ms. Wen would continue to compete with me." I didn't expect to overestimate Ms. Wen's courage...... Ho, that's just it!" After finishing speaking, Liu Dong shook his head disdainfully, as angry as he wanted to be.

"You're ......!"

"Okay, don't make any noise! Today is the collection exchange meeting of our Quancheng Collection Association three times a month, and I don't want you to quarrel here!"

"Xiaodong, since you have bought the things, why don't you come back and sit down quickly!"

"Yes, Dong Lao!" Liu Dong is not stupid. Naturally, he could hear that Dong Laoshi was helping him. And, once in a while, say a few words. It's okay to complain, Liu Dong doesn't want to keep arguing with a woman in front of everyone.

Even if you win, it won't be a glorious thing.

Watching Liu Dong put away the Wei Bei rubbings with the help of Ji Yun and walked to Dong Lao's side to do a good job, Wen Li's heart was sullen in her chest. But even if she was angry again, she wouldn't dare to quarrel with the respected Dong Lao! Otherwise, she wouldn't want to stay in this Spring City Collection Association.

Of course, Wen Li, who is the CEO of an enterprise group with a market value of more than one billion, is not uncommon to be a member of the Laoshizi Quancheng Antique Association, but she needs the connections behind these old men.

So after hearing Dong Lao's scolding, Wen Li wisely closed her mouth!

"Okay, the old rule, whoever joins first will go first! Of course, if you don't plan to exchange objects, just say it, so as not to delay everyone's time!"

After listening to Dong Lao's words, everyone nodded one after another.

Immediately, Old Man Wu, who was sitting next to Liu Dong, stood up, he was the vice president of the Quancheng Collection Association, and his identity, status and ability were second only to Dong Lao. So, naturally, it was his turn next.

"Green pastel eight-treasure porcelain pillow, Guangxu imitates Qianlong, if you want to, just bid!" As he spoke, Wu Lao put the porcelain pillow on the case, then turned around and sat down.

This porcelain pillow is nothing in Wu Lao's collection at all, and this is the clubhouse of the collection association, so he is not afraid of any damage to his antiques!

As just now, interested people immediately surrounded it.

But this time, Liu Dong didn't move. Just now he has already received the Wei Bei rubbings transferred by Dong Lao, although the price is a little high, but it can be regarded as a gain, if he goes up again this time to compete with others, not to mention whether Wen Li will continue to make trouble for him. I'm afraid that after the things are in hand, they will arouse everyone's criticism.

After all, after just arriving in an unfamiliar environment, if you act too domineeringly, it is easy to annoy people.

In addition, the value of Guangxu official kilns in the market has not been high, and Guangxu has only been a hundred years now, and there are many things that have been handed down, so Liu Dong is not too eager for this kind of porcelain. If he wants, he can collect a lot from the market.

"It would be nice if it were the third generation of the Qing Dynasty!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.

After all, those who can join the collection association are not simple people, those who specialize in ceramic appraisal naturally have Guangxu official kilns in their hands. But there are not many treasures of the Qing Dynasty, of course, if it is the Qing Dynasty's three generations of rare porcelain, it is estimated that they are all covered in their own hands and regarded as something at the bottom of the box. If it's not urgent, who wants to take it out!

Therefore, the last few bidders for Wu Lao's Guangxu imitation Qianlong porcelain pillow are all young generations in the collection association, collectors with poor collections in their hands, and the elderly, none of them have spoken.

However, the price of the last 20,000 yuan is higher than the market price of this 'Guangxu official kiln green pastel eight-treasure porcelain pillow'!

After Wu Lao, the members of nearly 30 collection associations present today took out the things in their hands one by one, and conducted internal bidding, among which there are many good things, although there are no more than one million things, but the price is more than 100,000 yuan, and there are several pieces such as "Qing Jiaqing Doucai Entwined Branch Lotus Sanskrit Cup", "Yu Duo Calligraphy Vertical Scroll", "Spring Belt Color Jade Shanzi" and "Warring States Kui Dragon Pattern Bronze Ding".

Of course, in the face of so many good things, Liu Dong naturally made a lot of moves, but in the end, there was nothing else in his hands except for the 'Warring States Kui Dragon Pattern Bronze Three-legged Ding'.

In the middle, except for Liu Dong who took the initiative to back down, 80% of the bids were stirred up by Wen Li. If it weren't for Liu Dong's special preference for bronzes, and a little trickery, I'm afraid this Warring States bronze tripod wouldn't have fallen into his hands. But despite this, this bronze tripod still cost him 350,000 yuan, more than double the market price.

Fortunately, Liu Dong is now rich in wealth, and he doesn't care too much about these tens of thousands of small money! However, Liu Dong, who is the only one who takes advantage of others, suffers a loss at the hands of a woman for the first time, which still makes him feel deeply aggrieved in his heart.

"Lao Ji, are you really going to sell this painting, this is your lifeline?" Just when Liu Dong was unhappy in his heart, Wu Lao, who was beside him, suddenly said.

Hearing this, when Liu Dong came back to his senses and hurriedly looked at the central case in the living room, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the half-unfolded silk book in the hand of the old man surnamed Ji.

Up to now, Liu Dong has seen the authentic works of famous masters of all dynasties, although the level is not as good as the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, but with the naked eye alone, a painting to the hand, the level, the authenticity of the painting, he can also see eight or nine without leaving ten.

What's more, the paintings in Ji Lao's hands are simply a sight to behold, whether it is the material of the painting's heart, or the natural aging of the surface, as well as the damage on it, it is not artificially made, but a watch that has really gone through the long river of time.

Seeing this, Liu Dong naturally couldn't help it, and strode over in front of everyone.

When it came closer, the paintings in the hands of the old man surnamed Ji had all been unfolded, a length of about 180 cm, a width of 40 cm, the heart of the painting was old and yellow, and the lower right corner was moth-eaten, water stains, and decolorization was a little strict, and there were large ink blots on the left side of the vertical scroll landscape painting presented in front of everyone.

Maybe because of too much time and improper preservation, the inscription of this painting has become a little blurred, but Liu Dong still knows its name from it: "Rim River Mountain Residence Map"!

"Lao Ji, you have thought about it clearly, if you really sell this painting, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it back in the future!" At this time, Dong Lao, who had been sitting on the main seat since the beginning of the collection exchange meeting, actually walked over on crutches for the first time.

"Brother Dong, Brother Ang, this Guo Zhongshu's "Rim River Mountain Dwelling" is the most valuable of all my collections, and it is also the most cherished collection in my life. It's just like my own son, so how can I be willing to sell it?"

"And how do you ......?"

Looking at the look of surprise on Old Man Wu's face, Ji Lao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I can't help it! My wife is not in good health, and she has to go to the hospital every month, and you all know it." Now that my son has been laid off and can't find a job, it's not a problem to stay at home every day. So, I thought about giving him a small face and doing some small business, otherwise the two of them would not be able to get by. And my two grandchildren, who are now of marriage age, and their parents don't have the money to buy them a house, get married, and marry a daughter-in-law. When they arrive, they have to rely on me, an old man, to give them Zhang Luo. …… Alas, if you count all the miscellaneous money combined, one or two million is certainly not enough, but in addition to this painting, what other valuable thing can I exchange for so much money!"

After a pause, Ji Lao shook his head and continued: "Anyway, in our family, except for me, the next generation, and even the next generation don't like to collect this business, rather than let them sell these hard work after I die, it's better to take advantage of my life, deal with it myself, exchange some money, at least I don't have to look at my daughter-in-law's face in the future, and I can live comfortably!"
