[Chapter Word Count:2387 Last Updated:2015-03-2009:58:28.0]
Listening to Elder Fang's words, Xu Kuan was stunned. He hadn't seen Fang Lao, he was just familiar with Yu Hongguang, and when Tang Yi and Fang Lao walked in, he asked Yu Hongguang in a low voice: "Is he?" ”
Yu Hongguang looked at Xu Kuan, "He is Fang Chengke and Fang Lao!" ”
"Huh? Then why didn't you just introduce it? Xu Kuan hurriedly said.
"Tang Yi is here with Elder Fang, how can I introduce your attitude? Also, Tang Yi's invitation was given by Qin Lao. Yu Hongguang introduced it succinctly. Actually, Yu Hongguang and Xu Kuan are not very familiar with each other, but they are both people in the circle, and they usually inevitably deal with each other. The time was almost up, Yu Hongguang didn't say more, and then made a gesture of invitation to Xu Kuan.
This time, Xu Kuan was taken aback, the Tang family almost collapsed, it was only a day's work, why did Tang Yi drag it up? There are two bigwigs escorting, what kind of rhythm is this? came back to his senses, but saw that Yu Hongguang couldn't wait to walk in, so he couldn't help but immediately walk in quickly.
Tang Yi and Fang Lao entered the door, and then entered a hall as instructed. The hall is very large, and it is usually supposed to be a banquet hall, but now it has been renovated as an auction hall. Unlike a typical auction room, the seats are not lined up, but are surrounded by sofas with square tables with ashtrays and teacups in front of them. Two waiters in cheongsams are busy shuttling around, adding tea and pouring water.
In the center of the front of the hall, a display table is placed for the display of items during the auction.
Seeing Elder Fang enter, the acquaintances immediately stepped forward to say hello. Of course, no one knew Tang Yi, so he was unconsciously separated.
"Old Qin is here!" I don't know who shouted, and many people's eyes suddenly turned around.
Qin Boyu walked into the hall with a smile. Obviously, there are more people who know Qin Lao than there are people who know Fang Lao, and as soon as Qin Lao entered, he immediately became the focus, and most of them got up and shook hands with Qin Lao.
"Old Qin, you are really punctual!" Yu Hongguang greeted Qin Lao with a smile, at this time, there were still 5 minutes left before the auction began.
"Hongguang, your pomp is big enough! Even Professor Fang was invited! Qin Lao said with a smile. Actually, he hadn't seen Fang Chengke at this time, but he knew that Fang Chengke was coming, so he said it directly.
This sentence made the people who didn't greet Fang Lao just now feel a little remorseful, he was Fang Lao! Fang Lao usually doesn't participate in many activities in the circle, he didn't expect Fang Lao to come in advance, he knew that it would be good to come forward and get acquainted, and hand over a business card. Now that Qin Lao has said it, it is a little inappropriate to step forward again.
"Huh? Tang Yi also arrived early? After Qin Lao finished speaking, he found Fang Chengke, Tang Yi was not far from Fang Chengke's side, and he naturally saw it.
"Old Qin!" Tang Yi took a few steps forward, stepped forward with a smile, and held Qin Lao's hand with both hands. At this time, the people around showed surprised eyes, and there was some silence for a while.
"What kind of baby are you bringing today?" Qin Lao smiled, his eyebrows curled, and he looked particularly amiable.
"The object I just found, Elder Fang also gave me a sea yellow wooden box, and I have to invite you to palm your eyes when the time comes." Tang Yi replied with a smile.
"Good! It's time for you to make an appearance! Qin Lao nodded and walked to his seat. Tang Yi didn't elaborate, and Qin Lao wouldn't study it in detail, anyway, he was going to appear tonight, so it didn't matter.
At this time, there was already a whisper in the crowd.
"Who is this young man, Qin Lao is so polite to him?"
"The wooden box sent by Elder Fang? Or sea yellow? ”
"Both big guys value it so much, and the things he brings are interesting・・・・・・
And the most surprising was naturally Xu Kuan, who was just introduced by Yu Hongguang, but now he saw it with his own eyes. He couldn't figure it out, in one day, Tang Yi actually flew from the grass to the branches, a graduate who didn't even find a job, and now he should be a family with four walls, where did he find a baby to participate in this grade of auction?
"Hmph, don't look at the fact that you have someone to support you now, I want to see what you brought, if it's a fake, I'll even shake out your father's buying and selling fakes, and see how you end!" Xu Kuan took a sip of tea, and there seemed to be a fierce light in his eyes.
Tang Yi sat far away from the display platform. On the side of the display stand, there are three sofas with special positions, Fang Chengke and Qin Boyu occupy two seats, and there is another middle-aged woman who is dressed fashionably and has a luxurious temperament. Tang Yi learned from the discussion of the people next to him that this middle-aged woman was Ouyang Yunyan, the director of the Shanhai Provincial Jewelry and Jade Appraisal Center.
Obviously, these three people are a bit of an auction expert group, mainly appraisal reviews. Therefore, although Qin Boyu is not the organizer, he has a certain number of invitations in his hand.
The auction began.
"You are all people in our circle, and I'm a person who picks the door again, so I didn't invite the host, I will host it myself, which saves money." Yu Hongguang picked up the wireless microphone, walked to the side of the display table, and said with a smile. This self-deprecating opening remark obviously wants to silence him first.
There was a knowing laugh all around.
"Without further ado, I just know a little bit about bronzes, so I'll be overbearing once, who is here with bronzes today, I'll invite him to be the first to play!" Yu Hongguang looked around the hall and said loudly. In fact, all people in the antique circle, although they are generally only proficient in one kind, but they basically have some understanding of all kinds of antiques, Yu Hongguang said that he "knows a little" about bronzes, which is modest to home. It is not too much for him to ask the bronze to be the first to come to the stage.
Tang Yi didn't know who had brought bronze, although he brought a bronze sword, but as a newcomer, he didn't plan to be the first to play, so he couldn't help but look around. In fact, there are really not many people who bring bronzes, first, there are a certain grade of bronzes, most of them are things from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which are really not easy to find, and second, Yu Hongguang is an expert in bronzes.
"I'll do it!" At this time, a familiar voice sounded, and Tang Yi fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xu Kuan standing up.
"Okay, then I will invite Boss Xu from Ya Yuzhai to the stage!" Yu Hongguang nodded, and Xu Kuan, who was about to carry the brocade box, stepped forward and handed him the microphone.
Xu Kuan smiled slightly, put the microphone and the brocade box on the display table, and then took out a bronze pot from the brocade box and placed it on the display table. In the center of the display stand, there is a sturdy tray that rotates, and as soon as it is placed, the bronze pot begins to turn.
Xu Kuan picked up the microphone, but did not speak, and stretched out his hand to signal, meaning to let everyone take a look first, his eyes were full of confidence.
This bronze kettle is tall and dignified, and it is very beautiful. The height is more than 50 cm, the diameter is about 15 cm, the abdominal diameter is about 30 cm, and the hoop foot should be about 25 cm, with a cover. The whole instrument is slender and plump at the bottom, with two ears, and is the head of the beast. There are three layers of patterns throughout the body, the ground is thunder pattern, and two groups of string patterns divide a pot into three sections, all three of which are decorated with wavy patterns, and the top of the lid is a phoenix pattern.
"The Western Circumferential Ripple Amphora Pot is a familiar thing, and the pulp is really good." Yu Hongguang glanced at it a few times, and he basically had a score in his heart. The so-called ripe pit, refers to the handed down or unearthed for a long time, because it is often touched, so the surface of the utensils will appear smooth and ripe pulp, so it is called the ripe pit. The opposite of the ripe pit is the raw pit, as the name suggests, it is something that has just been unearthed.
Xu Kuan is not a fool, buying and selling things of this level, if it is a raw pit, it is suspected of violating the cultural relics law, in front of so many people, it is natural to bring something familiar with the pit.
Tang Yi's eyes were naturally fixed on this corrugated amphora pot, and what he didn't want to accept was that on top of the bronze pot, there was actually a dark white treasure light floating on it, and it had reached a certain thickness.
