Meng Dongyue is a good person, how could he not see that Old Man Wang wants to change the topic?

He came to his senses and said along the way: "We just chatted while eating, and we lost a lot of time, and now it should be about the same." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Old Man Wang immediately said with a serious face: "Then what are you waiting for?" We'll go over now! ”

As soon as the words fell, Old Man Wang pulled Meng Dongyue to the front, looking like he was about to run.

Shi Jin and Chu Ning were left behind, and the two looked at each other and laughed again.

Just looking at the way Old Man Wang and Meng Dongyue walked together, if they didn't mention their identities, people who didn't know about it would probably recognize them as their own grandchildren.

It's really because of the characters of the old and the young, they are too similar!

It's all the same, serious and a little out of tune!

The four of them re-arrived at the Weipu Auction House, and sure enough, it was not far from the official start of the auction, and all the people came and went at the door of the auction house.

Chu Ning and the four of them walked into the auction hall under the personal leadership of Manager Tan of the auction house, and more than half of the seats in the venue were already full.

But fortunately, they came late, and Manager Tan specially brought them in from an inconspicuous small door, coupled with the lighting, not many people noticed them, and naturally there were fewer people who rushed to set up friendships to add to the blockage.

Chu Ning came with Meng Dongyue, and the reserved location was not in the same place as Old Man Wang. But this is just a trivial matter, Meng Dongyue just mentioned it to Manager Tan, and Manager Tan immediately took the initiative to transfer the position and arranged the four of them together.

Chu Ning and Old Man Wang sat in the middle, and Meng Dongyue and Shi Jin sat on both sides.

After a short time, the time for the official start of the auction finally came, and the venue was closed, and no one would come in and out to make all kinds of noise.

There is a host who appears to host.

The first lot that appeared was very shocking, and it was one of the five treasures that were previously collected in the VIP room.

It was a gold-encrusted jade Buddha.

Jade, in our country has a long history, but also a symbol of auspiciousness, beauty, elegance and purity.

For Buddhists and believers, there is nothing more suitable for making Buddha statues than jade.

The whole Jade Buddha is not big, but it is definitely not small. If it is enshrined at home, it is just right.

The host is also introducing this gold-inlaid jade Buddha with a lotus flower.

“…… This is the jade Buddha inherited from the Song Dynasty, everyone looks at this jade, tough and dense, delicate and wide, it is a rare Nanyang jade. Now let's start the auction, the starting price, 1.8 million! Each price increase shall not be less than 100,000! ”

Nanyang jade is one of the four famous jade in China, also called Dushan jade. It has six pigments: green, white, yellow, purple, red and white, and is one of the first-class raw materials for jade carving.

And the name of Dushan jade carving is like thunder and has a long history.

Looking at the carving of the jade Buddha, it is obvious that it is also from the master's hand, and it has been well maintained, so it should have a bit of origin.

If you don't look at the age, just look at the jade quality, this jade Buddha is definitely worthy of this starting price!

The people present are all rich people who have successful careers, and if you want to say how many of these people believe in Buddhism, it is impossible to count them.

But because they don't have the surname Buddha, it doesn't mean that their family members don't believe in Buddhism.

Moreover, people who do business generally want to do something and seek peace of mind.

Buy a Buddha statue to go back, for the family at home, for the company can be calming the hearts of employees, can come in handy!

For a time, many people were moved by this Buddha statue.

What's more, there are many people who really like ancient jade and jade Buddha at the scene.

The quality of the Jade Buddha itself is good, and the skill of inlaying gold is even more ingenious. Even people who don't understand antiques and ancient jade will be reluctant to take their eyes off it when they see it.

"No. 24, 1.8 million!"

"No. 37, 1.9 million!"

"No. 12 ,......"

After a while, the gold-inlaid jade Buddha was shouted to a price of 3.3 million, which was almost twice the starting price!

And some people continue to shout, but the speed of shouting has been greatly reduced.

But in any case, it is clear that the final transaction price of the gold-inlaid jade Buddha must be more than that.

Chu Ning and the four of them didn't move at all.

Because they are one of the popular people who are not interested in this Jade Buddha.

Of course, there is another reason why Chu Ning didn't move, that is, she has no money.

She came today to take the opportunity to exercise her eyesight.

"Isn't it said that the habit of auctioning lots is to auction the cheap ones first, and then the expensive ones?" Chu Ning asked Meng Dongyue quietly.

She has read the booklet sent by the auction house, and most of the things in it are not as valuable as this Jade Buddha, and there are even things with a starting price of only tens of thousands, which are far from this Jade Buddha.

Meng Dongyue said with a smile: "The habit of auctions is indeed like this. However, at the beginning of the auction, it is common to warm up the auction with something of higher value to set up the atmosphere of the auction. Only when everyone is excited by good things can they be more likely to spend more money to buy things in the next auction, and the auction house can make a lot of money! ”

Chu Ning suddenly realized.

So that's what happened.

The hot stuff certainly can't be too bad, but it's not so bad that it doesn't bring out the best either.

The best of the best, for sure, is to be left behind for the finale.

The gold-inlaid jade Buddha is very suitable.

Among all the things in this auction, the value of the gold-inlaid jade Buddha belongs to the best category, but it is the one with the lowest value among similar antiques, which is just the beginning!

Old Man Wang said slowly: "There are not many good things in this auction, but there are quite a lot of types, which is suitable for young people like you to participate in, and you can broaden your horizons." ”

Chu Ning smiled and thanked Old Man Wang.

Old Man Wang was quiet again.

The piece is known as the gold-inlaid jade Buddha inherited from the Song Dynasty, and finally sold for 4.6 million yuan, and was auctioned by a middle-aged fat man like a nouveau riche with a big belly.

After the successful auction of the Jade Buddha, everyone's enthusiasm was successfully mobilized, and the atmosphere of the venue was suddenly much more lively.

The second lot is a Qing dynasty porcelain.

China's ceramic culture has been inherited for thousands of years, coupled with the natural raw materials of Jingdezhen and the management of the pottery supervisor, which reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, not only the official kilns in Jingdezhen produced countless exquisite porcelain, but also the folk kilns in various places were also well developed.

Some fine folk kiln porcelain is not too far from even the official kiln.

Qing Dynasty porcelain is famous for a lot, and it is not for nothing that it is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. However, the ceramic vase at auction is obviously much more ordinary.

This pottery vase, both in shape and drawing, is very ordinary, much worse than the porcelain produced in the official kiln, and it is not a fine product of the private kiln.
