Two days later, the auction was held at Sotheby's Hong Kong as scheduled. On the morning of this day, Chu Nan, Zhang Lao, and Liu Fen came to Sotheby's auction in the organizer's car.

In fact, Chu Nan is somewhat familiar with this auction, because many antiques in China, and even those zodiac avatars that were stolen and sold in the Old Summer Palace are carried out here.

Of course, this can only show that this auction is thinking from the perspective of capital, as long as there is money to be made.

When Chu Nan and Zhang Lao came to the Sotheby's auction, because the two precious stones belonged to Chu Nan himself, the Sotheby's auction prepared a VIP room for Chu Nan and the three of them, and when they entered the VIP room, they could also see the auction downstairs.

Most of the items in this auction are strange stones from private collections, as well as those in the exhibition. Therefore, people from all over the world are attracted to come in and participate in the auction.

Of course, not everyone can come in, but only if there is a certain proportion of wealth, after all, there are not many seats in the auction, and if everyone is allowed to come in, there must be many people who do not have seats to sit down.

The determination of a certain proportion of wealth is also to show that individuals have the ability to bid for strange stones.

Chu Nan, Zhang Lao, and Liu Fen sat on the seats in the VIP room, and the tea and desserts sent by the waiter at the auction could be said to be very good service, and there was no need to be bored at all.

And in that album, the details of the strange stones to be auctioned this time are also printed, and it is more convenient to bid on which strange stones you are interested in at that time.

For Chu Nan, because he had seen it a few times at Feng's Auction House, he didn't feel anything.

And Zhang Lao's auctions may be more, so it will be even more nothing.

"Elder Zhang, those two strange stones, I originally gave them to you as a gift, but now they are put up for auction."

Chu Nan didn't know what to say?

"Those two strange stones are too valuable, I don't dare to accept them, and besides, I don't know what to do when I accept them."

For Zhang Lao, in his life, the salary of his own teaching is already good, plus he is an expert in the jade carving industry, as long as he carves a jade carving work all year round, he will also have a lot of income, as for the strange stones collected in his study, the price is also not low.

Therefore, when Chu Nan gave him those two strange stones that were so valuable, he naturally didn't dare to accept them.

"Then wait a while, Mr. Zhang, you see which strange stone you like, I'll take a picture of it and bring it back for you."

Since I don't dare to accept those two pieces, the others should be fine.

It's just that Zhang Lao still smiled and said.

"Hehe, no need." ……

At nine o'clock in the morning, other wealthy people, merchants, and collectors of strange stones who were going to bid for the auction came. Chu Nan looked downstairs through the window of the VIP room and found that all the seats on these two floors were full.

At 9:15 a.m., Chu Nan saw a middle-aged man dressed in a suit standing on the hosting stage, and the other party was the host of the Sotheby's auction that was presiding over the auction this time.

"Gentlemen and ladies, good morning, this auction of strange stones is about to begin, and you can bid on the right strange stones."

"Now, the first work to be auctioned is a strange stone view of Huangshan Mountain."

From the day of the exhibition, Zhang Lao's detailed explanation of strange stones, Chu Nan Zhilu said that those processed stone handicrafts also belong to the category of strange stones, but in terms of price, there can also be a big difference.

Now Chu Nan looked at the projector downstairs and saw that there was a pine tree about thirty centimeters tall on it, and a stone under the pine tree.

It's not much different from other normal landscapes, but the pine tree is fake, just in the form of a stone. Probably artificially processed stones.

It's just that the stone comes from Huangshan stone, so in terms of price, the bidding price starts at $50,000.

After the host explained the strange stone scene of the Yellow Mountain, the bidders below also began to bid, and each time the price increase was from 20,000 US dollars.

Of course, this little money is nothing to those rich people, but they just feel that it has no value.

When Chu Nan was watching there, Zhang Lao next to him said.

"The highest price of this Huangshi strange stone plate is one million yuan, and no matter how much it is, it may not be worth it."

As for how to judge, there is naturally a set of valuations in this regard, and Chu Nan definitely doesn't understand.

Therefore, when the people below start bidding, some rich people or collectors think it is worth it and directly raise their signs.

"One hundred thousand dollars." ……

"$180,000." ……

"Two hundred thousand dollars." ……

When the price was called, the bidding stopped.

"Two hundred thousand dollars, for the first time." ……

"Two hundred thousand dollars, the second time." ……

"Two hundred thousand dollars, the third time." ……

When the host struck down, it was already determined that the first work had been successfully bid.

"Congratulations on the successful bid on No. 47." ……

The other strange stone auctions that follow are all low to high. Chu Nan sat inside, feeling drowsy, because most of the time it sounded like he heard the voices shouting outside the window.

Zhang Lao could see that Chu Nan didn't seem interested in these and didn't say anything.

By the time the bidding ended in the morning, it was not Chu Nan's turn to auction the two works, indicating that the prices of Chu Nan's two works were not low, and the auction would not be held until the afternoon.

Therefore, when Chu Nan and the three of them came to the Sotheby's auction in the morning, they went out to the organizer's car and returned to the hotel for lunch, and only when the bidding was about to be made in the afternoon did the three of them come by car.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Nan and Zhang Lao came to the VIP room of the Sotheby's auction.

When the auction started in the afternoon, the auctioned works were still other works, and it was not until about five o'clock in the afternoon that it was finally the turn of the second work to Chu Nan's toad strange stone.

Although the name toad may sound a little ugly, in fact, in the eyes of many people, in addition to being too realistic, it is also a feng shui stone.

Feng Shui, for the Chinese, is generally clear, and the richer the person, the more important Feng Shui is. Therefore, when they saw that piece of toad strange stone, they all felt that it was better to buy it back and collect it, or to use it as a feng shui stone, they all thought it was good.

In addition, at the strange stone exhibition that day, Zhang Lao briefly mentioned it, which has been remembered by many people, and there are also explanations about the toad strange stone and the carp strange stone in some newspapers in Hong Kong.

At today's Sotheby's Strange Stone Auction, there is no doubt that many people came for those two strange stones.
