Chapter 633: Tourmaline Bracelet
Looking at Tang Yi's expression, Fei Lao was also a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Tang Yi didn't speak for a long time, Fei pursed his lips and said as if he had made up his mind: "Mr. Xiao Tang, I don't know, I don't know, can you cut your love with this?" ”
Tang Yi slowed down, "Old Fei, you just said that this gilded green Tara is Ling Zun's old collection?" I have a lot of words, this gilded bronze Buddha statue of the Yongxuan period, although it is an antique boutique, but it is impossible to pass down the world only this one, how can you be so sure? ”
"Look!" Fei Lao carefully flipped over the statue and let Tang Yi look at the bottom as it was.
On the cross pestle at the bottom, there are two very strange scratches, a bit like jagged, but with an arc, which is not very noticeable. Tang Yi noticed it before, but this little damage, and at the bottom, was nothing at all. However, he really couldn't see why there were such strange scratches at the time.
"When this scratch appeared, I was a child, and my father was drunk, holding on to his appreciation, and accidentally put it on the lid of the beer bottle on the table, and then dragged it like this, and there it was." Fei Lao explained.
As soon as he said this, Tang Yi believed it, no one would be able to make up such a reason at a glance, and it was so realistic.
"Then how did Ling Zun lose it?" Tang Yi took the statue of Green Tara with his hand.
When it was taken away, Fei Lao was stunned for a moment, his hands tightened, but he suddenly reacted again, now, this is someone else's thing!
"Alas!" Fei Lao sighed, "My father is proficient in antiques, especially Buddhist artifacts, and I have been influenced by him since I was a child. But he has a shortcoming, that is, he is a heavy drinker. This statue was set up by someone after he was drunk and lost the bet. When he woke up, he regretted it, and the next day he took the money and wanted to redeem it, but he was sold by the other party! After that, he was depressed and talked to me about it until he died. ”
"This-" After Tang Yi heard this, he really couldn't say anything in his heart, as if he had taken this thing and had a little sin. Let it be given to Fei Lao, this kind of boutique tantric Buddha statue is indeed not easy to touch, don't let it, and it seems a little unkind.
"Mr. Xiao Tang, I can double the price!" Seeing Tang Yi groaning, Fei Lao immediately said.
At this point, "the auction will continue immediately, please return to your seats!" The moderator picked up the microphone.
"Fei Lao, I'm a little confused now, let's discuss this matter after the auction is over!" After Tang Yi finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Fei Lao's expression, and hurriedly returned to his seat with the Buddha statue that was originally going to be kept by the organizer.
"Okay, I'll contact you!" Fei Lao shook his head and shouted at Tang Yi's back.
The auction continues, followed by a tourmaline eighteen bracelet, which looks good quality and goes beautifully.
The reserve price of the auction was $5,000, and Lin liked it very much.
Tourmaline is a gemstone, along with ruby, sapphire, aquamarine, and tanzanite, which is classified as a colored gemstone. As early as the Tang Dynasty, there were records of the use of tourmaline in Huaxia. In the Ming Dynasty, the king of Sri Lanka also paid tribute to the Yongle Emperor tourmaline. Needless to say, in the Qing Dynasty, tourmaline was made into a pearl. Because Cixi liked tourmaline, the status of tourmaline was once improved in the late Qing Dynasty, and many tourmaline products also appeared.
Jewelry and jade things have a commonality, that is, even if the same thing, because of different textures and colors, there is often a large price difference.
Seeing that Lin Huanting liked it, Tang Yi went up to take a closer look when he was observing.
This string of tourmalines, the Qing Dynasty thing that opened the door, rose-red eighteen tourmaline beads, at first glance is the size of 1.2 centimeters in diameter. (Note: A little bit of pen and ink is wasted here, some people may ask, can the diameter be accurate to 0.1 cm at this glance?) Yes, and it's not hard. Those who often play with beads will have such an experience, at least from 0.8 to 2.0 cm in the diameter range of beads, you will be sure of the eyes, nothing else, play more. )
The top beads and the Buddha's head are full of green jade, but the water is general, which is considered to be ice glutinous seeds.
Under the stupa is an old coral vajra, under the vajra wearing an east pearl, the disciple beads each have a small pearl plus a tourmaline pendant.
Tang Yixin said that although this thing is slightly inferior to the things in the Qing Palace, it is also from the princes and nobles. To put it in a big auction, about $30,000 is worth it.
After returning to his seat, Tang Yi told Lin Huanting about the situation in general, and Lin Huanting smiled, "Okay, control it within 30,000 US dollars, and if you have more, you won't shoot it." ”
"Shoot too much! Money is hard to buy, I like it! Tang Yi smiled, and then said to Lin Huanting as if comfortingly: "I'm not afraid of buying expensive, I'm afraid it's wrong, after a few years, the price will go up." ”
The auction begins. In the beginning, there were a lot of bidders, but when it came to $20,000, it began to decrease significantly. In the end, Tang Yi shouted 30,000 US dollars.
Lin Huanting grabbed Tang Yi, "No matter how high it is, forget it!" ”
Tang Yi smiled and didn't speak.
And the host has already begun to call the second time at this time. "Thirty-five thousand dollars!" At this time, a man sitting behind Tang Yi's side shouted out the price again.
Tang Yi looked back, this man was wearing a navy blue suit, he looked like he was in his thirties, and he had an oriental face, but his appearance was very ordinary, so ordinary that he couldn't see it when he threw it into the crowd.
"This guy keeps bidding!" Wen Jia whispered beside Tang Yi.
"Fifty thousand dollars!" Tang Yi thought to himself, more than 30,000 US dollars, which was already beyond the market price, and actually increased by 5,000 US dollars at once! In this case, if you don't steam steamed buns, I'll still fight for breath!
At this time, many people present began to notice Tang Yi. Wang Zhennan's expression was calm, and his hands were gently clasped unhurriedly.
It was only when the host called for the second time that the man spoke, "Sixty thousand dollars!" ”
"Damn, this is a clear competition!" Tang Yi was just about to raise the card, but was pulled by Lin Huanting, "The bracelet is a trivial matter, this is Myanmar, don't make any trouble!" ”
Looking at Lin Huanting's anxious eyes, Tang Yi shook his head helplessly, Lin Huanting pressed Tang Yi's arm hard, and Tang Yi had to be ready to give up.
"Sixty thousand dollars for the first time! Sixty thousand dollars for the second time!" The host started screaming again.
"One hundred thousand dollars!" At this time, a deep and powerful voice suddenly came.
Hearing the voice shouting such a high price, even Wang Zhennan stopped pulling his fingers and couldn't help but look over.
And the man who bid $60,000 suddenly had a gloomy expression.
"Well, this tourmaline bracelet with such a low reserve price is really lively!" Tang Yi couldn't help but follow the prestige.
