Chapter 22: Underground Auctions

After several laps around the city, the Buick business car quickly drove out of the city, and after driving for more than an hour, it finally stopped in front of a small courtyard of a farmhouse. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, the person in the car took off the hoods that Yun Xi and Qian Fugui were wearing on their heads, and said to them: "Boss Qian, we have arrived, the small courtyard in front is the site of the auction, you can just go in directly." Saying that, he also opened the car door diligently and asked Yun Xi and Qian Fugui to get out of the car.

Yun Xi already knew their current location through the narration of the Ghost Eye Chapter at this time, which was already the outskirts of the capital, about dozens of kilometers away from the city. Yun Xi followed Qian Fugui and walked into the small courtyard. At this moment, there were already more than a dozen buyers in the small courtyard, and Qian Fugui also said hello to several familiar buyers.

Half an hour later, the auction finally began, and there were already nearly twenty buyers sitting in the small courtyard at this time, and Yun Xi and Qian Fugui were also sitting in the crowd at the moment, and at the same time, they also got a number plate in their hands, and the number plate had a number six written on it. At this time, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties come to everyone and say: "Hello bosses, my name is Luo Jiang, and I am the auctioneer in charge of this auction. The rules of this auction are that whoever bids the highest three bids will own the item. The way you pay can be cash, you can also write a check or a card, we also have a special computer transfer system here, which will not affect the bidding of the bosses. But I would also like to remind you here that; If any owner deliberately breaks the rules of the auction, we will not forgive him. Now all the bosses have a number plate in their hands, when you want to ask for a price, please raise the number plate in your hand, and I will give you a quote immediately. Okay, that's all I have to say, now that the auction begins, let's take a look at our first lot of the day. As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a black suit came to the middle of the front desk with an object in his hands, and he gently placed the item on a table that had been set up.

At this time, Luo Jiang continued: "Bosses, the first item we are about to auction is this 'White Jade Peach-shaped Water Cheng', this 'White Jade Peach-shaped Water Cheng' was made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty. The device and Khotanese white jade, warm and oily, make two longevity peach shapes of size, Ruyi handle water spoon, peach body around the carved peach tree branches, vivid, vivid and realistic. With the rosewood base, and the jade peach on it is integrated, the idea is ingenious, the shape is unique, the layout is reasonable, the carving is fine, it is a rare boutique, please come to the stage to identify it. ”

After listening to Luo Jiang's narration, everyone walked up to the stage to check the authenticity of the item, but at this time, Qian Fugui whispered to Yun Xi beside him: "Brother, what is Shui Zhongcheng, does this thing have the value of collecting?" ”

Yun Xi smiled and said: "Shui Cheng is actually the name of a kind of stationery, it is also one of the scholar's offerings, some people also call it a water bowl, it is a kind of utensils placed on the desk to store water for ink research, this kind of water is mostly made of jade or ceramics. As a collectible, Shuizhong Cheng also has its own advantages, that is, the price is not too expensive, it is easier to start than other utensils, and it is more suitable for novice antique collections. ”

After Qian Fugui listened to Yun Xi's words, he suddenly showed a look of eagerness, but he asked carefully: "Brother, is this 'white jade peach-shaped water cheng' genuine?" ”

Yun Xi nodded and said, "This is the first auction item at the auction, they don't dare to fool everyone with a fake, if you want this item, you can ask for the price with confidence." ”

"Thank you brother for your guidance, with you, the expert master, by my side, I am much more relieved, hahaha."

After a while, when everyone had finished appraising, Luo Jiang said loudly: "The reserve price of this 'White Jade Peach-shaped Water Cheng' is 50,000 RMB, and the initial auction price is not less than 2,000, please start bidding, bosses." Okay, the boss of No. 8 bid 52,000, is there anything higher than No. 8, and the boss of No. 11 bid 56,000 for the first time, is there anything higher? Boss No. 6 bid 58,000, boss 12 bid 60,000, which boss bid more? ”

Just when Luo Jiang quoted loudly, Yun Xi said to Qian Fugui again: "Fat brother, if the price exceeds 80,000, you don't have to call it, otherwise it will be a little worthless to shoot it." ”

Qian Fugui nodded vigorously, he was obedient to Yun Xi's words now, he knew that Yun Xi would not harm him. Sure enough, when Qian Fugui quoted a price of 76,000, no one on the scene was bidding with him anymore, and finally Qian Fugui auctioned the first item 'White Jade Peach-shaped Water Cheng' at this price.

Then Luo Jiang took out a second item, which was a piece of porcelain, only to hear Luo Jiang say: "Bosses, this item is the 'white glaze plastic paste red cockroach garlic bottle' made in the Jiajing year of the Ming Dynasty, this is a porcelain used by the court of the Ming Dynasty. The decoration of this bottle is simple and atmospheric, with white and red, the color is strange, and the color is moist and bright, it is really rare, so this bottle is also a masterpiece of the Jiajing period. After Luo Jiang finished speaking, he asked everyone to come to the stage to test it.

Yun Xi also came to the front of the stage at this time, and after he looked at this item carefully, he returned to his seat, at this time Qian Fugui looked at Yun Xi expectantly and asked, "Brother, how is this thing?" I think it's the real thing, I think it's very good in color and shape, just like the auctioneer said. ”

Yun Xi shook his head and whispered: "Fat brother, this item is a fake, and it was imitated by a master, if it wasn't for a professional appraiser to identify it, I really couldn't tell whether it was real or fake." And fat brother, let me tell you, in fact, the real thing of this item is now in the museum in the capital, you can go to the museum to visit it when you have time, and then come back and compare it with this item. ”

"Damn, isn't it, these bastards really treat us as wronged, and dare to fool us with fakes."

"Fat brother, be quiet, don't be so loud, since you want to play antiques, you should understand that the antique industry is risky. If you buy the real thing, it proves that you have good eyesight, and you should get rich, but if you buy a fake, you can only blame yourself for being clumsy and blinded by the fake, which is not to blame the other party, and you don't want to find the other party to return the money and return the money, you can only consider yourself unlucky. This is actually the same as when you bought fakes before, so if you want to continue to play antiques, you usually read more books in this area, try to read more, learn more, and shoot less. ”

Qian Fugui also had to admit Yun Xi's statement at this time, and there was really no way to return the fakes he had bought before. At this moment, a new round of bidding began, this time the reserve price turned out to be 300,000, and each bidding price must not be less than 10,000, and finally this item was slapped by a boss from ZJ at a price of 750,000.

When he saw the boss taking away the item, Qian Fugui couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and at the same time, he was also very glad to have Yunxi by his side today, otherwise he would be like the boss, he would be sold and help others count the money, although he didn't care about this money, but the taste of being fooled was also uncomfortable.

Then more than a dozen items were auctioned at the auction site, some of these items were real and some were fake, and Qian Fugui was lucky to get two more items under the guidance of Yun Xi. At this moment, he was indescribably happy in his heart, and at the same time, he said to Yun Xi gratefully: "Brother, if you see something you want, just open your mouth, brother, I will definitely help you take a picture and give it to you, just take it as a thank you fee from your brother." ”

Yun Xi just smiled and didn't speak, in fact, antiques are dispensable to Yun Xi, after all, he is still a student, and he doesn't have the financial ability to collect any antiques, unless he has money in the future, he may consider collecting some antiques at home for his own appreciation and play.

Just when Yun Xi was thinking about his own affairs, Luo Jiang's voice sounded again: "Bosses, seeing that the New Year is coming, in order to thank our bosses for their care over the years, we will also take out two real national treasure-level cultural relics to share with you in this auction, as for who the last two collections will be, it depends on your strength." Here we also want to greet all the bosses for a new year, and wish you all a lot of money, fame and fortune in the new year. Please continue to support our auction in the future, and we will also come up with more and better collections to thank you, so let me first take out the first national treasure cultural relics to appreciate with you. After Luo Jiang finished speaking, he waved behind him, and immediately a man in a black suit walked up to the front desk with a rectangular box in his hand, Luo Jiang took the box from his hand, and then he took out a picture scroll from the box, and then he unfolded the picture scroll and put it on the table.

At this time, Luo Jiang said: "This painting is the famous painter Li Di of the Southern Song Dynasty made the 'wind and rain returning to the pasture', this picture shows the scene of two shepherd boys driving cattle home when the wind and rain are about to work. The author's treatment of the background is also ingenious, with two ancient willows standing tall and tall, supporting the willow silk dancing in the wind, and showing the fierceness of the wind on the side. At the same time, the miscellaneous trees on the slope, the reeds around him, and the fallen branches of the leaves were destroyed, and the urgency of the wind was also extremely rendered. Everyone also knows that Li Di once served as the deputy envoy of the three dynasties of Xiaozong, Guangzong and Ningzong, and was active in the palace painting academy for decades. This 'wind and rain return to the pasture' is Li Di's masterpiece, which can definitely be called a national treasure-level cultural relic, and the bosses please come to the stage to appreciate this peerless work. ”

As soon as his words fell, several anxious bosses ran to the front desk, but Yun Xi followed behind everyone unhurriedly and walked towards the stage. At this time, he also saw that the Ghost Eye Chapter was also in the crowd to identify the authenticity of the painting, so he was even less anxious. However, he was a little surprised, where did this Luo Wu get such a classic masterpiece, could it be said that this Luo Wu still has an unknown side to him?
