PS: Three more ask for a monthly pass, please support it.

At the same time, seeing Wang Guan talking and laughing with a foreign old man, Fang Mingsheng and Yu Wei next to him were inevitably stunned.

"Didn't you say he didn't know English?" Aftertaste was stunned and said, "Isn't it a good conversation now?" ”

"Go over and take a look......" Fang Mingsheng was also a little curious, and then walked over. When I got closer, I found out that Wang Guan understood English, and it was clear that foreigners belonged to China and spoke Mandarin very well.

"Boss Fang, come and introduce you to a friend."

At the right time, Wang Guan was introduced, and there was another greeting. At this time, Yuwei and Mr. Paul also came over, and the scene was naturally more lively. Although everyone is not very familiar, the friend of a friend is also a friend. Anyway, after the exchange, there was a bit of harmony.

Of course, when communicating, there must be a focus on each other. Mainly Wang Guan and Mr. Anderson are chatting, Yuwei and Mr. Paul are talking, and Fang Mingsheng is completely giving full play to his businessman nature, and he is coming from left and right.

After chatting for a while, Wang Guan's eyes flashed, but he saw something changed on the curtain, and he was a little surprised: "Hey, that's not ......"

What is it? For a moment, the others also looked curiously, only to see a piercing ear figure appear on the curtain. The shape of the thing is not so unusual, and it is imitated in the original form of bronze, which belongs to the more common varieties of ancient porcelain.

However, this piercing ear is a little strange, the glaze has no blue or white or colorful, just a layer of simple gray-white.

Of course, this is not surprising, the glaze is grayish, at most it shows that things are simple to make. But what really surprised people was the many cracks in the glaze. At first glance, it feels like the piercing ear has been fallen, so that it is about to shatter. However, the real connoisseurs know that this is the opening film.

Slice is a natural cracking phenomenon of porcelain glaze. Originally, it was a shortcoming in the porcelain firing process. However, when the craftsman mastered the law of opening, it became a unique decoration method of porcelain. Especially in the Song Dynasty, Ru, Guan, and Ge kilns, among the five famous kilns, all have this kind of product.

There is no doubt that the piercing ear statue that appears on the curtain now is a porcelain piece that has been deliberately opened. The flakes on the surface are like an irregular layer of fishing nets, which looks chaotic, but in fact has a unique charm.

"This is an imitation of the elder brother's kiln."

At the same time, Mr. Anderson smiled, "I'm here today for it." ”

At this time, Mr. Paul also said a word. Mr. Anderson smiled suddenly, and his eyes were a little more meaningful. There is no need to help translate, Wang Guan knows that Mr. Paul's goal is also this thing, and the two are competitors.

"Imitation brother kiln, isn't it a real brother kiln?" Fang Mingsheng asked curiously.

"That's right, it's an imitation of the Northern Song Dynasty kiln during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."

Mr. Anderson said with a smile: "The whole body is glazed with imitation glaze, and the enamel is thick and moist. The exposed part of the foot is iron-brown, and it is written with the blue and white seal of the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty. This is an antique model, and the tires and glazes of things are relatively in place. It should be genuine. ”

Connoisseur, great connoisseur.

For a moment, Fang Mingsheng's eyes showed a look of surprise. If it was a Chinese expert who said what he just said, he certainly wouldn't find it strange. The problem is that Mr. Anderson is a foreigner with a high nose and deep eye sockets. He was surprised to say a technical term without difficulty.

However, before Fang Mingsheng could finish his surprise, Mr. Paul next to him also began to speak, and a string of English came down. But it made Fang Mingsheng's eyes widen, and he looked like he had been hit hard.

"What did Mr. Paul say?" Wang Guan couldn't help but snort.

"Like Mr. Anderson, he said something about his own opinion on this thing." Aftertaste whispered, "Very realistic." It's a hit the nail on the head. ”

"So, no wonder!" Wang Guan suddenly realized, and also knew that Fang Mingsheng was stimulated. It's a shame to say that you don't know your own things as clearly and thoroughly as two foreigners.

"That's the last big shaft, right?"

At this time, Wang Guan pondered: "Things look pretty good." ”

Whether it is the finale or not, Wang Guan is not easy to judge. However, it is certain that it is something from your home country, and if the price is right, you can consider buying it back. Welcoming back cultural relics lost overseas is also the responsibility of every Chinese.

"What, you're interested?"

For a moment, Fang Mingsheng also thought about it: "I also think things seem to be good." ”

"Haha, then we'll each have our own abilities." Hearing this, Mr. Anderson immediately smiled and said, "In the words of you Chinese, it is to see the true chapter under your hands." ”

Auction competition is just that, and it's not unprecedented. Not only did they compete with each other, but they also competed with other interested people, so of course, they didn't fall out over it, but they found it interesting and started talking about it for a long time.

About half an hour later, the afternoon auction began. Suddenly, at the signal of the staff, everyone also sat down one after another, gradually quieting down, waiting for the auction to begin.

For the auction process, everyone present is also very familiar, and there is no need for another person to explain, so the staff just casually mentioned a few words and gave up the position to the auctioneer.

After a while, the auctioneer came out, and seemed to say a few humorous words, causing everyone below to chuckle.

However, due to the language barrier, Wang Guan did not understand, and he laughed when he saw others laughing. People are sometimes so hypocritical.

Of course, it's an auction, not a talk show, so after a few casual remarks, the auctioneer gets back to business and starts to get people to present their first lots. It was a bunch of red wine, said to be Lafite of '82.

For the red wines, '82 was the best vintage in the last 50 years, and the grapes harvested in the Bordeaux region were of very good quality, and were praised by many renowned tasters after being matured. Due to the increase in the number of people who buy, there are fewer and fewer wines of this vintage, and the price is naturally getting higher and higher.

Speaking of which, this kind of thing has investment value and can also be used as a collectible. But for many people, this should be regarded as a luxury, something used by local tyrants to show off their wealth. Anyway, there are many people who are interested in these things, and the frequent holding of cards quickly raises the price of things.

However, although things are becoming more and more scarce, they can always be found if they have the heart to look for them, and there is also a certain reference in price. The most important thing is that no one is going to fight hard for something that can be bought through other means, so when the price reaches a certain height, no one wants to compete.

Two or three minutes later, a handful of red wine was bagged by an old gentleman with a cane.

The opening went smoothly, and the auctioneer's interest was even higher, and he continued to work hard and asked someone to come up with a second thing. The second thing is the famous watch, which has also made some people compete with each other.

For this luxury, some people like it, and naturally some people disdain it. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Paul, for example, have different expressions, either with a faint smile or an expressionless face.

The auction continues, and the first four or five things are not much to say, they are all luxurious items anyway. However, after the appearance of the sixth thing, it lifted the spirits of many people. I couldn't help but sit up, my expression a little more serious.

Seeing this, Wang Guan looked over and saw the staff take out a box.

Through the image on the screen, Wang Guan also saw a cross carved on the surface of the box. At the same time, the auctioneer motioned for the staff to open the box, and there was a delicate cross inside, as well as a thick book. It goes without saying that books should be the famous Bible.

At the right time, Wang Guan asked quietly: "This should not be an ordinary Bible." ”

"It's not an ordinary thing, indeed." Mr. Anderson explained softly: "It was a Bible in the middle of the eighteenth century, which was copied by one of the more famous pastors, and it was very valuable. ”

"Oh."

Wang Guan was suddenly quiet, and he also understood the reason for the sudden slight change in the mental outlook of everyone present. After all, Westerners should be more religious about faith, and they are naturally particularly interested in such things. Not to mention Westerners, if it is in an Eastern country, it is estimated that there will be a fierce competition for a Buddha statue at the auction.

The situation is similar now, the competition is extremely fierce, and at least half of the fifty or sixty people present have raised signs. The rest of those who didn't raise their cards to offer were either foreigners like Wang Guan, or they planned to hold their troops for the first time, and then kill them with one blow at the last moment!

Mr. Anderson played the role of this hunter, and when the competitive price gradually slowed down, and saw that a person was about to win the bid, the auctioneer was about to shout for the third time, and the hammer was raised and about to fall, he gently raised the sign, and the price was appropriately increased by 20%, so as to crush the camel's last straw to achieve the final victory.

It can also be seen from this that Mr. Anderson's skills in auctions have reached the point of perfection, and the understatement naturally reveals the spicy meaning, which is really clever.

For a while, not only Wang Guan had such thoughts, but many people who participated in the auction looked at Mr. Anderson with a bit of vigilance in their eyes.

In this regard, Mr. Anderson did not care, still with a warm smile on his face, and even nodded to the people next to him cordially and friendly, with a polite style, but also received a response from many people.

Civilized people are like this, no matter how fierce the fight is, they can't die to the other party in their hearts, but they have to maintain their demeanor on the surface, and show a smile like a spring breeze to the enemy. This is called aristocratic style, and ordinary people can't learn it. Anyway, it was in the midst of this smile that the next lot also appeared, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Huh!"

The moment he saw something, Wang Guan had a little more surprise on his face...... (To be continued......)
