Chapter 64: The Auction Begins
"Dog X, just laugh, it won't be long before I make you cry." Chen Shaohua, who was sitting on the side, looked at Xu Fan and Zhou Mengyao hatefully, rubbing his neck, and his heart was full of vicious thoughts.
"Distinguished guests, hello everyone, I am the auctioneer of this auction, Wang Ling. Welcome to the scene. At this time, a middle-aged man walked up to the podium, introduced himself and began to make an opening remarks, "This auction aims to help others, all auction proceeds will be donated to charity, and the auction will be notarized by the municipal notary office to ensure fairness, justice and openness." In addition, we have specially invited Mr. Shan Guotao, a treasure connoisseur, and all the items in this auction will be verified by Master Shan himself! Let us warmly welcome Master Shan. ”
Auctioneer Wang Ling said excitedly, and took the lead in applauding excitedly, looking at an old man in the guest seat with warm eyes, and the audience also sounded an exclamation, and at the same time applauded warmly.
"Oh my God! It's actually a single master! Zhou Mengyao, who is usually calm when she encounters things, screamed out in surprise when she heard this name, applauded excitedly, her beautiful eyes shot a trace of worship and fanaticism, and her white and tender face was covered with patches of red clouds, as if the star-chasing clan was as excited as seeing the idol in their hearts.
Looking at Zhou Mengyao's side of such a little girl, Xu Fan couldn't help but wonder, such a Zhou Mengyao is the real her, and the usual strong woman is just her disguise. Compared with a strong woman, he still prefers Zhou Mengyao, who is like a little girl next door. Therefore, under her infection, Xu Fan couldn't help but applaud vigorously.
Speaking of this Master Shan Guotao, Xu Fan still knows. Although he doesn't know much about this industry, this Shan Guotao's name has broken the industry and is almost a household name, just like a certain NBA star in China, even if he never cares about sports, he also deaf to his name.
This Shan Guotao was born in a scholarly family, since he was a child, he has a strong interest in traditional culture, almost obsessed with antique calligraphy and painting, and has become a famous "little antique" when he was still young, as long as it is a well-known antique, whether it is calligraphy and painting, or porcelain, or others, he can say that the head is the Tao, and all kinds of allusions come easily. When he was older, he was admitted to the top universities in China for further study, and after graduation, he directly entered the National Museum with his professional ability and hard work.
In his lifetime, he has identified non-digital paintings, and he is famous abroad. The most talked-about thing is such a thing: our country in ancient times had been stolen by foreign countries to countless treasures, and one of the calligraphy and painting is particularly precious, is the pinnacle of calligraphy and painting art in the history of our country, the national leaders are very important, after many years of searching, finally found out the whereabouts of this calligraphy and painting in country Y, after a series of diplomatic mediation, the leader of country Y was forced to pressure, and finally bowed his head and promised to return the calligraphy and painting, but he was unwilling, so he thought of a bad trick - to make a fake.
The leader of country Y secretly summoned countless elites in the cultural relics of country Y, gathered the strength of the elites of country Y, and spent countless efforts to finally make a fake, which was so ingenious that it was almost to the point of being fake, and even the makers themselves could not find any flaws. The leaders of country Y who have fakes are very excited, and proudly handed over the fakes to our country, but because of a small detail by Shan Zhongtao, who is responsible for receiving calligraphy and paintings, the leaders of country Y were shocked and hurriedly remedied, promising Shan Guotao's various benefits, beauty, wealth, status, rights, and even finally issued a death threat, but Shan Guotao did not eat it softly and hard, and was stunned to make the despicable behavior of the people of Y country public, so that the people of Y country hid their faces and left, and finally had to hand over the real product, and issued "A single Guotao can top the entire antique world of country Y" exclamation. And Shan Guotao is also a household name because of the professional level and noble conduct revealed in this matter, and is admired by all the people like a national hero, thus becoming the Taishan Beidou in the Chinese antique industry and the first appraisal master in China.
Shan Guotao in the guest seat stood up with a chuckle, arched his hand to everyone in the audience, bowed slightly, and looked very modest.
"Welcome Master Shan! With your participation, our auction hall is thriving. After a long time, after the applause subsided slightly, Wang Ling bowed to Shan Guotao again, and then restrained his smile, "Now let's get to the point, there will be 30 treasures for auction in this auction, and the first item that will appear below - the three-color lady figurines." ”
As his words fell, a cheongsam beauty, holding a delicate wooden box in her hand, walked into the room with a beautiful beat, placed the wooden box in front of Shan Guotao's table, and handed it over to Shan Guotao for evaluation. The large screen at the scene played the relevant information of the auction item, including the shape, size, origin and so on.
"This item is mainly yellow, ochre, and green, and the color glaze changes, infiltrates each other, mottled and dripping, the colors are naturally coordinated, the patterns are smooth, and the faces of the ladies are clear and the lines are rounded. It is the best three-color work, from the point of view of production techniques and craftsmanship, although the production age is not the most prosperous Tang Dynasty of three-color, but it is not far away, and it is very collectible. After a while, Shan Guotao, who had completed the identification, returned the item to the cheongsam beauty and gave an evaluation, looking confident and indifferent.
"Okay! The authenticity of the item has been identified by Master Shan, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of this item, and now the auction has begun, with a reserve price of 100,000 yuan. The price increase shall not be less than 5,000 yuan each time. Wang Lingchao Shan Guotao bowed slightly, and then announced the auction price and bidding range.
"No. 23, $105,000."
"No. 55, 110,000 yuan."
"No. 34, $115,000."
As soon as Wang Ling announced the price, everyone in the audience raised their cards, and the scene was very warm, it seems that the appearance of Shan Guotao has injected great vitality into the auctioneers on the scene, and the items that have been personally identified by him will undoubtedly appreciate in the future. However, just when everyone was bidding hotly, a sudden voice destroyed the atmosphere of the entire venue:
"How long will it take to lift it over and over again? I'll give 1 million. The voice was arrogant, and everyone followed the prestige, it was Chen Shaohua.
Chen Shaohua's voice was like a basin of cold water, which extinguished everyone's enthusiasm, and after a little hesitation, he died down: 1 million has already capped the price of this thing, and it is not interesting to increase the price, and looking at Chen Shaohua's performance, it is clear that he is determined to win this thing, and if the price is increased again, there is no value, and they are not sure that they will be able to win Chen Shaohua in the bidding, and they will offend the Chen family because of this, so why take this risk?
Seeing everyone's reaction, the corners of Chen Shaohua's mouth rose slightly, looking proud, he quoted the price with his own vision and understanding of the market, and sure enough, the blow hit, everyone retreated without saying anything, and even Shan Guotao on the side nodded slightly to Chen Shaohua's offer. Now he is like a proud peacock, holding his head high and waiting for the auctioneer to decide.
"Okay, Young Master Chen bid 1 million, is there more? 1,000,000 once. ”
"A million twice."
"1,000,000 ......"
After Wang Ling repeated the bidding twice, he waited for the third time to finalize the decision, but at this moment, a lazy voice came into everyone's ears:
"Hey, Chen Shao also likes Sancai, a fellow practitioner, but I'm not as rich as you, I'll give you 1 million and 500."
When Chen Shaohua heard this, his face turned dark, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth......
