Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Finale
Half an hour passed quickly, and with the host's passionate speech, everyone's attention quickly shifted back to the treasure appreciation activity, and the little episode of Qin Wenhao and Meng Xin greeting just now was put into the back of their minds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Please the next one, Mr. Jin Qiaoliang of Maoyuan Department Store."
Jin Qiaoliang brought a violin to the stage, and the final estimate was 42 million.
It was followed by a collector's saber brought by Qiu Huai of Yihe Pictures, estimated at 31 million.
The prices of the treasures brought by the so-called bigwigs in the VIP room on the fourth floor are all more than 10 million. As time passed, it was approaching evening, and eight of the twelve people on the fourth floor had taken the stage, and the most expensive antique was estimated at 68 million.
Two of them chose to sell, and the others took it back.
"It seems that high-value antiques are really hard to come by." Seeing these offers, Meng Xincai gradually had a concept of antiques, if these people let them fight hard, it is estimated that most of them can be worth more than one billion, but the things they bring are worth tens of millions, which shows that antiques of more than 100 million are hard to find.
The selection of the so-called members of the Golden Dragon Club is probably not just a simple competition for financial resources, and Meng Xin suddenly felt that it was necessary to go back and remediate the knowledge about antiques.
"It seems that tonight's treasure king is none other than me." Seeing that the highest price in addition to himself is only 68 million now, Lu Zhuo smiled.
Feng Qian glared at him and looked at Fang Qingping again.
"Next, Ms. Qin Wenhao of Hengtong Equipment."
Qin Baohua did not come to the stage in person, but asked his granddaughter Qin Wenhao to come forward. As soon as he saw Qin Wenhao, many people's eyes fell on Meng Xin again, and he was uncomfortable watching it.
Lu Zhuo also had a fierce face, he won everything tonight, but he felt very unhappy when he remembered Qin Wenhao and Meng Xin greeting him.
Feng Qian and Lin Rui were also very curious, but they both wanted to ask after they went back.
Qin Wenhao took out a large incense burner-like thing from the box and handed it to the female assistant.
Looking at Li Guodong and the two experts' high-frequency exchanges, everyone began to guess the price.
After a long wait, Li Guodong finally put pen to paper.
"Ming Dynasty gold three-legged tripod. Estimated at 150 million. The bright voice of the host rang out.
"Today's second treasure over 100 million." The audience began to talk.
"Jin Sanfangding, why does it sound familiar?"
"Ms. Qin, may I ask if you are selling this Ming Dynasty gold tripod." The moderator stepped forward and asked.
"This gold tripod was stolen during the Japanese invasion of China, and my grandfather accidentally auctioned this treasure at an auction abroad. Today, I mainly want to ask Mr. Li Guodong to palm his eyes and see if it is genuine. If it's genuine, we'll hand it over to the state. Qin Wenhao said word by word, and there was a sassy heroic spirit between his words. It not only aroused the hatred of the Japanese invaders in everyone's hearts, but also felt the atmosphere and patriotism of the Qin family.
Meng Xin had a new understanding of Qin Wenhao. Excellent people are different from ordinary people even when they say a word. It's just a pity that this is the enemy who stands on the opposite side of himself.
"Mr. Qin has the world in mind and is loyal, which is admirable." Li Guodong suddenly stood up from his position and bowed deeply in the direction of Qin Baohua.
With Li Guodong's move, the audience soon burst into warm applause.
Qin Baohua got up and saluted everyone back, but Meng Xin only felt even more disgusted when he saw it in his eyes. To whitewash oneself with patriotism is simply an insult to the country.
As the patriotic mood in the venue gradually calmed down, the host continued to preside over the event, "Next, Ms. Gao Youlin of Taigong Group. ”
Gao Youlin stepped on high heels, swaying elegantly in a red slit long skirt, and his elegant and refined temperament seemed to be stirring up the dust of the world.
After Qin Wenhao, Gao Youlin is indeed a visual treat for the men present.
Gao Youlin brought another porcelain item.
"Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glaze sunflower wash, estimated value of 176 million."
"It's nearly 200 million again, and sure enough, the main event is put at the end." Lin Rui sighed.
"That's nature, that's what makes it interesting." Sheng Weijia followed.
"Hmph, there are very few collections that can exceed 200 million, I want to see what treasures two more people can come up with." Lu Zhuo is still so confident.
"Next, Mr. Jiang Xuan of the Jiang Group."
"Brother Fang Qingping's finale." Seeing Fang Qingping's finale, Feng Qian felt inexplicably happy in his heart.
"yes, the finale is already a status symbol in itself." Lin Rui said.
"It's normal for Fang Qingping's status in Shanghai to be stronger than Jiang Xuan's, what does a hairy boy compare with Fang Qingping." Ke said with satisfaction, and everyone noticed that for the first time in her disdainful eyes all night, there was a look of admiration. Especially when she mentioned the word Fang Qingping, this admiration was about to burst out of her eyes.
Meng Xin and the three of them glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile.
What Jiang Xuan brought was a pair of calligraphy and paintings, which was slowly opened by the assistant in front of the expert.
Although it took a lot of time this time, at the last moment, everyone's interest was raised, not only did no one feel bored, but it felt that time passed very quickly.
Meng Xin didn't know how long he had waited this time, and the host began to quote, "Li Keran's "Ten Thousand Mountains Are Red", with an estimated price of 336 million. ”
"What!" Lu Zhuo was shocked.
The people present slowed down for half a second before they began to erupt into discussion.
"Li Keran's "Ten Thousand Mountains Are Red", isn't this the highest price ever paid by Li Keran in 12 years!"
"I heard that some time ago, an anonymous collector in Yanjing took away this painting, how could it run into the hands of this Jiang family's son."
"This Jiang Xuan is not simple, this is a national treasure-level collection!"
Some people are shocked, some people are puzzled, some people are curious, some people are envious, probably because of Jiang Xuan's own identity, compared with Lu Zhuo, for a while, it aroused the highest enthusiasm in the field tonight.
Feng Qian and Lin Rui saw the valuation of the calligraphy and paintings brought by Jiang Xuan, and their faces were helpless, although they overpowered Lu Zhuo, but if Jiang Xuan was allowed to get the treasure king, they would be even more unhappy.
"Next, Fang Qingping of Fang's Group." Jiang Xuan naturally did not sell the calligraphy and paintings to the Golden Dragon Society, the activity continued, and finally Fang Qingping, who arrived at the finale, appeared on the stage.
"Fang Qingping of the Fang family."
"Ghost merchant Fang Qingping. I don't know what treasure he will bring. ”
Fang Qingping has not yet shown it, just the process of taking the stage has set off a wave of enthusiastic responses. Only then did Meng Xin realize how high Fang Qingping's status was in Shanghai.
However, Meng Xin was still very happy to see Fang Qingping's popularity, remembering that Fang Qingping had protected and taken care of him openly and secretly in recent years, Meng Xin had always been grateful.
Coincidentally, Fang Qingping also brought a pair of calligraphy and paintings.
It was another period of appraisal, and in the midst of everyone's discussions, Li Guodong completed the final appraisal.
"Wang Xizhi's cursive "Peace Post" is estimated at 335 million."
"Three hundred and three thousand five? How much was "Red All Over the Mountains" just now? ”
"I remember it was three hundred and thirty-six million."
"Oh my God, that's a million short."
"It's a shame, isn't it? The estimates of the two paintings are so similar. ”
"It stands to reason that the collection value of Wang Xizhi's "Peace Post" should be higher than that of "Ten Thousand Mountains Red"."
"The people who have passed the "Peace Post" are everyone, and it is extremely difficult to obtain."
"Yes, but sometimes there's a difference between the value of the collection and the price of the collection."
"I believe that Mr. Li Guodong will not look away, it's a pity."
The audience was full of voices of regret for Fang Qingping.
Lu Zhuo had already lowered his head and did not speak, while Feng Qian and Lin Rui were gritting their teeth, feeling aggrieved for Meng Xin and Fang Qingping.
But the facts are the facts, because of the difference of one million, Jiang Xuan is about to become the treasure king tonight. The organizer, the Golden Dragon Club, is conducting the final proofreading and preparing to announce the final results tonight.
"I'm sorry." While everyone was waiting for the result, Meng Xin suddenly stood up from his seat with an apologetic face.
"Meng Xin?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Meng Xin, who was actually at this time.
"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Meng Xin?" The moderator asked, clearly remembering the names of each of the treasure connoisseurs.
"I'm sorry, I don't know the rules for the first time at this event, so I brought two things with me today. There is still one that has not been identified, and I thought that the other one would be identified after the appraisal was completed, but looking at the current posture, it doesn't seem to be the case.
I'm really sorry, I don't know if I can ask the master to help me identify the other thing I brought, after all, this is a rare opportunity. In the future, it will be difficult to ask Li Guodong to help identify treasures. Meng Xin scratched his head and said with an embarrassed expression.
"This..."The host hesitated slightly, but quickly asked the organizer for what he meant.
After a brief discussion, the Golden Dragon Society accepted Meng Xin's request.
Although the Golden Dragon Society agreed to Meng Xin's request out of politeness, everyone present had a disgust for Meng Xin, and it was time to announce the results tonight, and suddenly another one appeared to be identified, which was simply a waste of everyone's time.
Could it be that the things he brought could surpass Jiang Xuan, no one believed it, just Meng Xin's diamond was only 11 million, and he was a little person sitting on the third floor who didn't know where to appear.
Although he felt everyone's displeasure, Meng Xin still walked onto the stage with everyone's disgusting eyes...
