Chapter 541 Complex Warring States Puppets

"I heard that there are a lot of antiques this time, so I'll come over and take a look," He Jie replied softly, with a faint smile on his face and his eyes still looking at Li Yang.

Wang Feng also smiled and did not continue to ask.

I guessed a little about why He Jie came to Li Yang, the old man's birthday is coming soon, except for the rubbing book that was taken away by Lao Tzu in advance last time, He Jie has not found a suitable gift. During this time, he was also a little anxious, and he was bent on finding a suitable gift so that he could use it as a birthday gift at that time.

He Jie's arrival was similar to Li Yang's guess, he only found out about this auction today, and he didn't participate in such an auction a long time ago.

However, thinking of the 'holy decree' that was criticized by the old man today, he was a little unwilling, so he thought about calling Li Yang to take a look and see if he could find something better to go back.

After learning that Li Yang had promised Wang Feng to come here, He Jie immediately decided to follow along.

More and more people came in the venue, and Li Yang could only suppress his curiosity and wait quietly.

There were quite a few people sitting at each table, some familiar people sitting next to each other, chatting in low voices, and even some people talking about some small business on the spot, and they would not let go of any favorable opportunity for businessmen.

"Li Yang, when are you going to Myanmar?"

He Jie whispered to Li Yang, Wang Feng and Wu Du both glanced back at Li Yang, and the two didn't know that Li Yang was going to Myanmar.

"Just for a few days, I'll go when everything at home is done," Li Yang replied after thinking for a while.

Sandara didn't urge Li Yang, but Sandara meant that the sooner the better, seeing that the Myanmar public market was about to be held, if the Myanmar public market could not determine the new source of ore after the end, their family would really have to plan for the worst.

He Jie nodded, and then said: "It's not as good as in China, pay attention to your safety, I can't accompany you this time, if you need it, I can let Gao Feng follow you"

"No need, Brother Jie, I'm not going there to fight, it's enough to have Liu Gang and Zhao Yong when the time comes."

When Li Yang spoke, a few more people walked in from outside the corridor, the person in front pushed a row of carts, and Mr. Sun also walked in, and someone closed the door immediately after he came in.

There was a lot less talk inside, and today's auction was about to begin.

The rest of the people were all frequent visitors here, even He Jie had been here once or twice before, only Li Yang was the first time to come, watching a young man walk to the empty seat in the center of the hall, his face still looked a little dazed.

"Bosses, distinguished guests, today's auction is now officially started, this time there are a total of 69 auction items, and now the number one auction item is being sent."

The young man's opening remarks were extremely simple, as soon as he finished speaking, someone came forward with a small cart, and there was a yellow cloth on the cart, and the young man directly removed the yellow cloth on it after reaching the middle.

Under the yellow cloth is a blue and white celestial ball bottle, seeing this celestial ball bottle Li Yang's eyes lit up slightly, this celestial ball bottle is in very good condition, the old object that opened the door should be the official kiln porcelain in the Kangxi period.

Li Yang turned on his special ability, and then nodded silently, this thing is indeed a fine product of Kangxi official kiln, the market value is not low, and it is a **** good thing at any auction.

"The No. 1 auction item is the Kangxi official kiln Tianqiu bottle, with the appraisal certificate issued by the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the No. 1 auction item has no reserve price, and the auction is now officially opened."

After uncovering the yellow cloth, the young man didn't talk nonsense, and immediately announced the start of the auction, as soon as his words fell, someone quoted a price of 100,000, and soon several people participated in the bidding, and it didn't take long for the celestial ball bottle to rise to 800,000.

"Li Yang, how is this bottle?"

Wang Feng turned his head and asked Li Yang, he invited Li Yang to come over, just to ask Li Yang to help him comment on the advantages and disadvantages of these antiques in this auction, and select some of them to auction.

"It's very good, it's a boutique of Kangxi official kiln" Li Yang nodded, with a little doubt on his face, he kept thinking about where he had seen this bottle, but he couldn't remember it.

"Boutique, is it a unique product, how much does it exist?" Wang Feng's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked again.

"It's not a unique product, there are still some of these bottles, like this kind of celestial globe bottle with entwined branches, there are about twenty or thirty pieces in the world, and there are several large museums in China, Taiwan and the United Kingdom."

Li Yang explained in a low voice, hearing that it was not a lone product, Wang Feng's eyes dimmed, and he completely lost interest in this bottle.

Soon, the bottle was sold at a price of 2.2 million, and the bidder for this bottle was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

After the first auction, the second lot was pushed over, and it was also a fine blue and white porcelain, this time a blue and white amphora from the Ming Dynasty.

This piece of porcelain is also auctioned without a reserve price, He Jie took a few careful looks, and then shook his head, Wang Feng didn't ask Li Yang this time.

This porcelain doesn't look as good as the Tianqiu bottle just now, Wang Feng came today mainly to find a beautiful appearance, and it is a unique antique, even if it is not a unique product, it also has very few things in the market, and the first two pieces do not meet his requirements.

After the two auction items, Li Yang was even more puzzled, the transaction prices of these two auction items were much lower than those outside.

These two things can be auctioned at their auction for at least three or four percent more, and they are definitely good things that will not be auctioned, and if they are exchanged for a larger company, they may be auctioned at a higher price.

"Lot 3 is a set of Warring States puppets, no reserve price, bidding starts now"

The young man uncovered another piece of yellow cloth, and his auction method was very simple, but it was very time-saving. There are sixty-nine things to be auctioned tonight, and if each item is detailed in detail, I am afraid that the auction will not be completed by the early hours of the morning.

Under the yellow cloth, a complete set of twelve puppet figures were revealed, the villains were carved vividly, each villain had a different posture, their expressions were all smiling, but unfortunately some of the paint that fell off on them affected their appearance.

These little people are not very big, each about a dozen centimeters tall, and there is a wooden tray under them, and the little people are fixed in the card slot of the tray.

As soon as these villains appeared, Li Yang and Wang Jiajia's attention were attracted, Wang Jiajia was because they looked at these puppets and were fun, while Li Yang paid attention to the puppet carving.

The carving of the puppets is very exquisite, these small puppets do not have any fancy ornamentation, nor those intricate and exquisite knife skills, but they look simple and natural.

This set of puppet villains is definitely a master's work, there are many jade carving masters in the Warring States Period, but wood carving masters are rare, and it is very surprising to see such a set of fine Li Yang.

"One hundred thousand"

"One hundred and fifty thousand"

"One hundred and eighty thousand"

The bidding sounded, and He Jie and Wang Feng were not full of spirit on their faces, and they were not interested in such a set of toy-like puppets.

Li Yang slowly opened up his special ability, what he could see from his eyes was limited, and it was far less intuitive than observing in a three-dimensional way under his special ability.

After the picture opened, Li Yang's mouth that had just opened suddenly became a lot bigger, and it didn't close for a long time.

In the picture, each puppet villain looks so natural, but this is not the reason why Li Yang was surprised, among the puppet villains, there are different black metal wires, and there are dozens of them in each villain.

What surprised Li Yang even more was that these puppet figures were not a whole carved of wood, and the inside were all separate small wooden blocks, which were large and small, and were closely linked together by these black metal wires.

Buying a puppet is divided into different parts, depending on the form, their bodies are probably composed of forty to sixty small wooden blocks.

The tray under the puppet is more complicated, a wooden tray that looks inconspicuous on the surface, there are hundreds of different small card slots inside, the tray is also composed of wooden blocks, these wooden blocks are slightly larger than the puppet villain, and the whole tray is composed of about hundreds of these small wooden blocks.

In the middle of the tray, there are also a lot of black metal wires, which are still tightly connected to the puppet figure.

A small set of puppets has so many complicated things in it, which is why Li Yang was most surprised. What shocked Li Yang the most was that after he saw the inside of this puppet villain, it was like looking at a trap box, even more complicated than the trick box gave him.

"300,000 Second ......"

Li Yang woke up violently, hurriedly stretched out his hand, and shouted without thinking: "Three hundred and thirty thousand"

This set of Warring States puppets is not simple, after seeing the complex and mysterious structures inside, Li Yang has only one thought in his heart, that is, he must buy it, buy it and talk about it, and only after buying it can he have the opportunity to go back and continue his research.

Wang Feng sat up straight, looked back at Li Yang in surprise, He Jie also looked at Li Yang, his eyes flashed with an unknown light, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"330,000 First ......"

The young man standing in the center also had a look of surprise on his face, and after a moment of silence, he immediately resumed his work, and if no one continued to increase the price, he would determine the ownership of the lot.

"Three hundred and thirty thousand, the third transaction, the next auction is the fourth lot......"

The young man then opened another small cart, and a staff member came over and respectfully handed Li Yang a license plate, which read '3' on the front and the price code just written on the back, 330,000 yuan.

In terms of the value of cultural relics alone, the value of wooden carvings in the Warring States period is not too high, and there are usually only tens of thousands of yuan on the market.

However, this set of puppet villains is exquisitely made, although the paint on the surface has fallen off a little, but it has not affected the integrity of the whole, and it is a complete set of works, so it still has a certain value.

In the auction company outside, this set of puppet villains may be auctioned for a high price of 500,000 yuan, and Li Yang's 330,000 yuan is not high.
