Chapter 774 & 775 Teahouse Auction (Medium)
Chapter 774 & 775 Teahouse Auction (Middle)
"Mr. Li, wait a minute!"
Lin Bowen immediately stood up, walked briskly to the side, and talked to a waiter in a teahouse. Lin Bowen is a person born with a golden key, and the arduous process of struggle has been survived by Lin Lang and his generation, this kind of teahouse, young people like him don't come often at all.
If he hadn't brought Li Yang with him this time, he wouldn't have come in, and he didn't know anything about the auction here.
A few minutes later, Lin Bowen walked back gently, he had been out for a short time, but the matter had been inquired clearly.
"Mr. Li, it's like this, someone sold an antique porcelain here more than a year ago, and the person who bought the porcelain bought it at a very low price, but when he found an expert, he saw that it was a real Kangxi official kiln jīng product, and it was sent to the auction company and sold for more than a million Canadian dollars.
Lin Bowen explained that more than one million Canadian dollars, which is equivalent to more than six million yuan, that person has indeed picked up a big leak.
While they were talking, the old man who sent the cart in lifted the blue cloth, and the porcelain jar with a single glaze was single-glazed, and the whole was blue, and it looked beautiful.
Lin Bowen also saw the jar and continued: "The owner of this shop is a smart man, and after learning about the sensation, he immediately contacted the charity association, and then held regular auctions of antiques in the teahouse. Once every ten days, one auction at a time, the auction of the teahouse is not true, it all depends on personal luck and eyesight, the auction does not set a reserve price, the highest price wins, and all the income is used for charity! ”
Lin Bowen finished speaking in one breath this time, and took another sip of tea, this pot of high-grade tea worth tens of thousands of yuan was swallowed by him in such a mouthful, which made Máo Lao secretly shake his head, this young man is also a person who can't taste tea, and spoils good tea.
"This boss is really smart, no wonder there are so many people here at this time!"
Li Yang nodded slowly, he was still a little strange when he first came in, it was only more than two o'clock in the afternoon at this time, it was good for other teahouses to sit two or three tables of guests at this time, but it was basically full here, and it turned out that they were all coming for this auction.
Liu Jun's brows jumped, and he asked softly: "All the income is used for charity, so how did their things come from?" ”
"I also asked this question just now, the things auctioned here are all raised by their boss and the charity association, and after the auction, no matter how much it is, the charity association will issue a certificate to the fundraiser!" Lin Bowen raised his head and said hurriedly.
Liu Jun is just the one who follows Li Yang, but he can see that Liu Jun and Li Yang have a good relationship, and he will not slack off on anyone around Li Yang.
At this time, Lin Bowen was also a little envious of Liu Jun, if he could have this kind of relationship with Li Yang, it would be certain that he would take over the jewelry company.
"That's right, this boss is really smart!"
Wang Jiajia said, her eyes still looked around, this method sounds very ordinary, but not many people can think of it, especially this kind of charity auction, which can attract many, many people.
In China, sometimes charity auctions will fetch sky-high prices for very ordinary things, let alone Canada.
There is a big difference between Canada and China, there are no people like Guo Meimei and Lu Meimei here, and the supervision of charitable funds here is also very perfect.
In addition, some people in foreign countries like to do charity very much, the richer they are, the more they like it, and it is a very honorable thing to get a certificate from the Ministry of Charity after fundraising, as long as people with a little family business hear such a thing, they will generally not refuse.
It's very easy for them to come up with one or two things that they don't usually care about, let alone once every ten days, even if they are auctioned three times in ten days without any problems.
This boss is obviously good at business, and knows the truth that it is too much, and the teahouse that can be visited once every ten days is more attractive, and can be visited three times a month, then this is basically their main leisure place.
Li Yang and the others also understood these at this time, and looked at the blue sè xiǎo jar with a smile.
"Why is this gone?"
A person who was looking through the porcelain suddenly shouted, the things auctioned here will not make any introduction, if the fundraiser does not agree, they will not say the name of the donor, everything depends on everyone's guess.
Some people can't understand it at all, but some are connoisseurs, and after the teahouse has such an auction, it has attracted a lot of local collectors, and there have really been things that have happened between them to pick up the leaks, otherwise the business here would not be so prosperous.
Just over three months ago, a sculpture of a European figure was sold here for 3,000 Canadian dollars, which was later verified to be the work of a famous European medieval master, worth at least 60,000 Canadian dollars, and 3,000 to 60,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a sudden increase in value 20 times.
Sixty thousand doesn't sound like much, but the Canadian dollar is worth more than the yuan, and sixty thousand Canadian dollars is almost equivalent to 400,000 yuan, which is also a leak.
"This porcelain should have had a base, but it seems to have been deliberately scraped off, Mr. Shangguan, can you take a look?"
A chubby middle-aged man said a word, and then looked up at an old man in casual clothes around him, this old man looked like he was six or seven years old, but his hair was jet black, probably dyed.
Mr. Shangguan picked up the porcelain and looked at it, an unnatural flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "That's right, this one has indeed been deliberately erased!" ”
"Erased, who will erase the bottom money?"
The fat middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise, and the old man who came in with porcelain did not speak, but just looked at all this with a smile.
Mr. Shangguan was also not talking, looking at this blue sè xiǎo jar, he didn't know what he was thinking.
"I'll take a look!"
A stiff Chinese sounded, and after Li Yang came to Toronto, the people he met heard were all Chinese, and he could speak English, but Chinese still sounded more cordial.
The person who spoke stiff Chinese looked to be less than thirty years old, about the same as Lin Bowen, and when Lin Bowen saw him, his brows furrowed unnaturally.
Li Can happened to have an idea of Lin Bowen's expression, and immediately asked, "Who is this person?" ”
"Yui Mitsui, the son of Yasui Mitsui, he came earlier than Yasushi Mitsui, he came more than a month ago, a very pompous person!"
Lin Bowen said in a loud voice, turning his head again as he spoke, as if he didn't want Yui Mitsui to see him.
Lin Bowen's impression of Mitsui Yui is really bad, and the Mitsui family is not xiǎo, although Mitsui Kang is not a direct member of the Mitsui consortium, but it is also a good branch, and he controls a company with assets of hundreds of millions of dollars.
This Mitsui Yui visited Lin Lang after coming to Toronto, and it was Lin Bowen who received him at that time, and after this Mitsui Yui accidentally saw Lin Bowen's sister, he went crazy to pursue it, not to mention Lin Bowen, even Lin Lang had some opinions on this.
I don't look at what kind of person I am, a squandering gentleman, and a toad who wants to eat swan ròu, and actually wants to chase his sister.
The most excessive thing is that while pursuing his sister, this person is still recruiting prostitutes in the hotel to have fun, Lin Bowu works in the hotel, and his every move is under the control of the Lin family.
Lin Bowen only has disgust for such a person, if he wasn't a member of the Mitsui family, I'm afraid Lin Bowen would have beaten this guy out of Canada a long time ago.
Lin Bowen didn't say these words, and Li Can didn't ask, and when he heard that it was Mitsui Kang's son, Li Can's expression was a little unsightly.
Mitsui Yasu is now a public enemy in China, his son fortunately appeared in Canada, if he was in China, as long as someone called out his identity, this guy would probably be beaten and his father didn't know him.
"Peacock green, good, good stuff!"
Mitsui Yui suddenly screamed, and looked at the bottle carefully, Li Can and Liu Jun were both stunned for a moment, this guy is not useless, at least he knows the real Yan Sè of this porcelain.
Li Yang also raised his head, just in time to see that Máo Lao and Bai Ming were looking at him, and the three of them looked at each other, and a smile hung on the corner of their mouths.
"Where do young people come from, they know a lot!"
The black-haired old man surnamed Shangguan glanced at Mitsui Yui in surprise and asked with a smile.
Mitsui Yui immediately lowered her head and said with a smile: "I am from Japan, a member of the Mitsui family, hello old man!" ”
"It turned out to be a friend of the Mitsui family in Japan, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Mr. Shangguan hugged his fists and did not shake hands with the Mitsui Yui, he spoke to this young man in a good tone at first, but when he heard that he was Japanese, he immediately faded.
Several people around laughed softly, and the change in Mr. Shangguan's attitude was so obvious that anyone could see it.
Mitsui Yui's face moved, and a smile continued to appear on her face, but a dull gaze flashed in her eyes.
There are many Chinese in Canada, but many of them have immigrated in recent decades, and some are Chinese immigrants from Southeast Asia, many of whom have ancestors who originally lived in China.
Mr. Shangguan immigrated to Canada for 20 years, but before that he was a native of Nanjing. Many of the old people on his ancestors were killed during the Nanjing Massacre, which made Mr. Shangguan instinctively have an antipathic attitude towards the Japanese. Yui Mitsui introduced himself, and it was strange that Mr. Shangguan did not change his attitude.
"When the time comes, please come back to your seats, and our auction will start immediately!"
The old man in the teahouse who came first clapped his hands with a smile, the teahouse held a single auction, there is no limit to the time of the auction, but there is a limit to the time to look at things, only fifteen minutes for everyone to watch, and then it is up to each to do their own thing.
The auction here does not require any deposit, and most of the people who come are acquaintances.
However, the teahouse is not worried about someone maliciously bidding and not paying, this is a charity activity jointly organized with the Ministry of Charity, which is supported by the government.
In Canada, personal credit is very important, and with this stain, loans, travel and various benefits will be affected, which is more serious than locking you up for a few days.
If a foreigner bids and does not pay, it will also leave a bad credit record, all activities in Canada will be restricted, and if it is not good, it will let you return to China in advance, and such unreputable people are not welcome here.
The people who watched the porcelain slowly walked back, and many tables were immediately filled with people, and the people who sat down were all talking and guessing, and those who were interested were estimating the price in their hearts to see how much money they could get this xiǎo jar in a while.
"Mr. Shangguan, isn't this blue sè, how can you say that it is peacock green?"
Li Yang There was a voice of inquiry on the table next to them, Mr. Shangguan and the fat man who had asked before were at that table, and it was the fat man who was asking this time.
Bai Ming turned his head and said with a smile: "Peacock green, also known as peacock blue, in the eyes of ancient people, the greenest face sè is blue, and blue sè is also a symbol of nobility!" ”
Mr. Shangguan's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded slowly.
Mr. Shangguan doesn't know Bai Ming, and no one here knows him, Bai Ming and Máo are a little famous in China, but not here, few people here watch these domestic TV shows, and they don't know much about them.
The fat man glanced at Bai Ming suspiciously, and then asked, "The best green sè is blue, Mr. Shangguan, is that so?" ”
Mr. Shangguan chuckled lightly and said: "There is indeed such a saying in ancient times, there is a sentence in Bai Juyi's words: chūn comes to the river water as green as blue, in the eyes of the ancients, blue sè is indeed more noble than green sè, since the Yuan and Song dynasties, the ancients have a high pursuit of blue sè, and green huā is produced because of the point!" ”
After speaking, Mr. Shangguan also looked back at Bai Ming, Bai Ming smiled at him and turned his head again.
This Mr. Shangguan understands some, but what he said is a bit big, and Bai Ming doesn't agree with it very much. There is still a debate about how Qing Huā came about, and it's okay to say that Qing Huā is related to the ancients' pursuit of blue sè, but it is a bit decisive to say that Qing Huā appeared because of this.
"I'll give five hundred!"
Someone began to ask for the price on the table next to him, the person who raised the price this time was a native Canadian, in Li Yang's eyes, he was a foreigner, and this foreigner actually spoke Chinese, and these people were used to speaking Chinese in Chinatown.
"Five hundred and five!"
As soon as the foreigner's voice fell, a person raised the price, and the old man in the teahouse looked at the new bidder with a smile, this is also an old customer of the teahouse, and he once auctioned two auction items, and no one knows whether he made money or not.
"Five hundred and eight!"
Someone shouted the price again, the surrounding atmosphere slowly mobilized, there were people running outside, when they saw the auction starting, they shook their heads regretfully, they could also bid if they came late, but they didn't look at things carefully before, and they always felt unsure.
"Six hundred!"
This time it was the fat man next to Mr. Shangguan, Li Yang and Máo looked at each other, Máo lowered his head and continued to taste this rare and good tea.
This peacock green glazed jar is really good, but it is only an imitation of the Republic of China, it is an old thing, but unfortunately it is too xiǎo and the value is not high.
This kind of jar, that is, 2,000 yuan, someone will come up with 500 yuan, which is already exceeded, 500 Canadian dollars, which is equivalent to more than 3,000 yuan.
It can also be said that from the very beginning, these people were bidding with money.
"Such a good peacock green glazed jar is only given to six hundred, which is too little, I will give a thousand!"
Mitsui Yui suddenly screamed, and the eyes of everyone around him looked at him, and Mr. Shangguan's brows furrowed.
"I'll give you a thousand two!"
Someone suddenly shouted at Li Yang's table, Li Yang and the others all turned around and looked at Li Can in shock, this time it was Li Can who shouted the price.
"Boss, I look a bit like it came out of the official kiln, maybe it's Kangqian jīng product!"
Li Can said something in a loud voice, and Liu Jun glanced back at the porcelain on the cart, his eyebrows twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Liu Jun has a different opinion on this porcelain, but Li Can has already made a bid, and he is not easy to remind.
Li Yang shook his head with a smile and didn't speak, Li Can's heart suddenly cooled, he trusted Li Yang's level very much, Li Yang's attitude was clearly not optimistic about this porcelain.
1,200 Canadian dollars, less than 10,000 yuan, not much, if no one really wants it, he will pay it as a tuition.
"One thousand and five!" Mitsui Yui shouted again, Li Can immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to stand up if there is a grievance, this time he finally doesn't have to lose.
"Republican!"
Liu Jun leaned over, and the sound of xiǎo said something in Li Can's ear, and immediately retracted his head after speaking.
Li Yang looked at Li Can with a smile, Li Can's level is indeed not as good as Liu Jun, this imitation feature of the Republic of China is not too obvious, but it has appeared many times in China, and people who really have deep research can see the problems, at least Liu Jun can see the problems.
"Got it!"
Li Can replied in a voice, knowing that it was the Republic of China, he naturally would not be so stupid to follow the auction, at this time, Li Can also watched with interest as Mitsui Yui was competing for this imitation at a higher price.
"Two thousand!"
This time, it was Yui Mitsui who asked for the price, and after a thousand and five, a few more people raised the price, and the more people who raised the price, the more fierce the competition would be.
After Mitsui Yui called out the price of two thousand, the scene was quiet for a while, and Mitsui Yui's face was full of pride.
"Three thousand!"
A faint voice rang out, and everyone immediately turned their eyes again, looking at the bidder in surprise.
This time it was Mr. Shangguan who made the bid, and he directly increased the price by 1,000 Canadian dollars this time, which was higher than any previous price increase.
Seeing Mr. Shangguan's price increase, the discussion of the people around him became even higher, these people don't know Li Yang, but they all know Mr. Shangguan, and Mr. Shangguan is also a well-known expert in the teahouse, otherwise the fat man just now would not have asked him.
Mr. Shangguan increased the price by 1,000, proving that he was very optimistic about this porcelain, and some people's minds moved again.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Mr. Shangguan deliberately increased the pressure on this young Japanese man, after all, everyone saw it just now, and Mr. Shangguan was very uninterested in this young Japanese man.
"Five thousand!"
Mitsui Yui screamed, her face was slightly annoyed, Mitsui Yui's level was not as good as Li Can, but he had finally been exposed to a lot of these things, and he knew the basic common sense very well, and he was very optimistic about this jar at this time.
Five thousand dollars, at first some people called five hundred, but now it has become five thousand, which has increased tenfold.
This kind of increase is not common in auction companies, and there are really a lot of crazy people in this xiǎoxiǎo teahouse.
Li Yang took a sip of tea and shook his head gently, 5,000 Canadian dollars is more than 30,000 yuan, which was not much before, but whoever buys it will pay for it, and how much will be paid.
Mr. Shangguan's face at this time was not good-looking, and Mitsui Yui glanced at him provocatively just now, which made Mr. Shangguan's heart also very angry.
"Six thousand!"
This time it was the fat man who shouted the price before, and he saw that Mr. Shangguan was a little annoyed, but he still wanted to follow the bidding, so he hurriedly shouted out first.
He is friends with Mr. Shangguan, and he can already see that Mr. Shangguan is very optimistic about this jar.
If Mr. Shangguan shouts the price, he will always be unable to fight for face again, and it will be no problem to fight with this xiǎo Japan, and at this time, this fat man is also playing his own xiǎo ninety-nine in his heart.
Many times, friends are unreliable in the face of interests, and fat men are also an example.
"I'll give 10,000!"
As soon as the fat man's words came out, Mitsui Yui shouted again, and many people around were stunned for a moment, 10,000 Canadian dollars, such a number is not remarkable in a big auction company, but this is a teahouse, just an ordinary charity auction, and 10,000 Canadian dollars is not easy.
Many people began to look down and wonder if this thing was really a treasure, which is why they fought so strongly.
"Twenty thousand!"
A faint voice sounded, and the old máo, who was drinking tea, suddenly stiffened there, holding the tea, and looked at Li Yang with surprise.
Li Can, Liu Jun and Bai Ming also looked back, all of them were gods of disbelief.
The person who made the bid this time turned out to be Li Yang, and Li Yang directly added 10,000 Canadian dollars, doubling the original price at once.
"Boss, you're crazy!"
Li Can hurriedly came over and asked in a loud voice, Li Yang's god just now had already told him that Li Yang knew that this thing was not really a good treasure.
"It's fine!"
Li Yang shook his head, Mr. Shangguan's face became uncertain, and Mitsui Yui had a deep face, staring straight at Li Yang.
20,000 Canadian dollars, which is about the same as 20,000 US dollars, you can buy a good old object anywhere.
"Thirty thousand!"
In less than a minute, Yui Mitsui shouted out a new price, Mr. Shangguan's brows furrowed even deeper, and some people around him who wanted to compete also gave up.
Canada's income is high, but the average person is 30,000 Canadian dollars a year, and they won't be so stupid to compete for something they can't see through with a year's salary.
It's just an ordinary Chinatown teahouse, and there aren't many high-paying ones here.
"Fifty thousand!"
As soon as Yui Mitsui's words fell, Li Yang's voice appeared again, and Yui Mitsui stood up violently and looked at Li Yang angrily.
Bai Ming, Máo Lao Du frowned, 50,000 Canadian dollars, more than 300,000 yuan, buy a thing worth only 2,000 yuan, no matter how rich Li Yang is, he can't be so defeated.
"50,000, don't fight if you can't afford it, even if you lose it, I will treat it as charity!"
Li Yang looked at Mitsui Yui, and said with a smile, this sentence was obviously provocative, Mitsui Yui was slightly stunned, and her face instantly turned red.
"100,000, I'll give 100,000!"
Mitsui Yui almost gritted her teeth and shouted again, 100,000 Canadian dollars, and the burden on him is not Xiǎo, he is not Mitsui Yasu, and he can control more funds in his hands.
