Chapter 169: Underground Auction

The young man jumped out of the car, first looked left and right like a thief, and then walked straight in front of Tan Moxuan,

"Brother Tan, I've kept you waiting for a long time, there is still a customer in the car, and I will pick it up by the way, you will bear with me."

After that, he looked Li Yi up and down a few times, and stretched out his hand,

"Wang Xiaoliu, they all call me Xiaoliu, what do you call your friends?"

"The surname is Li, you can just call me Brother Li."

"Okay, Brother Li, once you are born and twice cooked, if you want to find something that is not easy to find in the future, or something that is not easy to sell, you can find us. Time is a bit tight, so I won't say more, I hope you can have a good harvest today. ”

After getting on the car, Li Yi found that not only the window, but also a piece of glass was installed between the rear compartment and the front row, which was also pasted with a black car film, and a dim little yellow light was turned on on the roof of the car, and a person sitting in the corner of the back of the car was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, which should be the customer Xiao Liu said.

Xu Ling was playing with his mobile phone, when he heard someone getting into the car, he looked up, and then he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed,

"Little junior brother, I thought you were going to hang out with your friends, but I didn't expect ......"

Li Yi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that the activity that the senior brother said was actually this! After a few words of greeting, he introduced Tan Moxuan to Xu Ling.

"Yo, it turned out to be Mr. Xu, I've admired my name for a long time!"

Immediately, as if he had just realized, he pointed at Li Yi and then at Xu Ling,

"You two...... Is it a brother? ”

"Hehe, Li Yi is my master's new disciple, yesterday I asked him to participate in the event, I didn't explicitly say that he was participating in the underground auction, he said that there was an arrangement, but he didn't expect to crash, haha, it seems that we do have a fate......"

The windows of the golden cup are not only covered with black film, but they are also sealed, but the carriage is large enough. There are few people, and the air conditioner is turned on for ventilation, but it doesn't look very boring.

The three of them chatted all the way, and before they knew it, more than half an hour passed. The golden cup stopped. Xiaoliu opened the car door, and the three of them got out of the car to see that it was a detached yard, although the branches and leaves were adjusted to zero in winter, but judging from the layout of the yard. The residents here should be relatively wealthy.

The three of them walked into a side hall under the leadership of Xiao Liu, and Li Yi took a look, which was similar to the layout of the small auction hall he participated in in Panjiayuan at that time. In an empty room, there is a simple wooden table on a low wooden platform at one end, and in front of the wooden table there are several rows of imitation leather conference chairs.

"There are still a few friends who haven't arrived, so it's time to start at two o'clock, so you can find a place to sit by yourself."

Xiao Liu handed the three of them a bottle of mineral water and went out. Tan Moxuan raised his hand to say hello to a few guests who came over, and then the three of them found a place in the back row and sat down next to each other.

"Have you heard of Yanjing Hengyuan Real Estate? The fat man over there is their chairman Wang Qingwu. The woman in the red sweater, the appraisal director of the Jingxi pawnshop, heard that some of their goods were sold for them here. And the old gentleman who greeted me just now, who is also a famous collector among the people......"

In the car, Tan Moxuan knew that Xu Ling was also here for the first time, and there was originally a friend with him, but when he left, that friend was in a hurry and didn't come, so the responsibility of introducing fell on his shoulders.

After them, more than a dozen people came in one after another. Four of them all greeted Tan Moxuan. At two o'clock, a big man in a Tang costume stood next to the table, introduced himself as Wang Laojiu, and first said a New Year's greeting. Then just announce the start of the auction!

The first thing that came up was a plate covered with a red cloth, judging from the shape of the red cloth, it was an uneven short strip-like object, Li Yi frowned, could it be a carved work?

The mystery is soon revealed,

"It's a big New Year. The picture is festive, the dinosaur triple egg in the west of the gorge, I wish you good luck and surprises in the new year! ”

Dinosaur eggs are very precious paleontological fossils, first found in France. Before the discovery of dinosaur egg fossils in the Xiaxi Basin of Yangnan City in 1993, a total of more than 500 were found in the world.

The dinosaur egg fossil group in the Xiaxi Basin is rare in the world, according to the relevant experts confirmed after on-site inspection, there are a total of 7 dinosaur egg fossil burial sites, only in 93 and 94 years, there are more than 5,000 unearthed in that period, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of unearthed!

Li Yi remembers that at that time, in several villages and towns close to the unearthed place, almost every household said that they had dinosaur eggs in their hands, and at the cheapest time, a dinosaur egg only cost three or four hundred yuan, and the rare triple egg could be used for only a thousand yuan!

Later, the state strengthened control, dinosaur eggs were not so easy to get, and the price also skyrocketed, and now the black market price of a very average dinosaur egg has reached tens of thousands, and it is still very difficult to find.

After the dinosaur egg was unveiled, many people were very interested, so when Wang Laojiu announced that he could go on stage to check, more than half of the two dozen people stood up, and even Li Yi went up to join in the fun.

These three eggs are about the same size, about 15 centimeters in length and diameter, one is missing a piece on the side, and the other two have a lot of cracks, and the condition is not very good, but it is indeed a dinosaur egg fossil.

There is no problem after inspecting the goods, Wang Laojiu quoted the starting price, 30,000 yuan. Probably because the condition is not complete, the response is not enthusiastic, only three or four people bid, seven or eight rounds later, this three-in-a-row egg was auctioned away by Wang Qingwu, the boss of Hengyuan Real Estate, at a low price of 38,000 yuan.

The next lot is a heavy treasure, a pearl with coral tourmaline jade pearl from the late Qing Dynasty.

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty believed in Buddhism, and all emperors and queens, princes and ministers, civil officials of the fifth grade, and military attachés of the fourth rank or above, when wearing court clothes and auspicious clothes, they all needed to wear the pearls, and the wearing of the pearls was strict and could not be violated.

The East Pearl Dynasty Pearls are dedicated to the emperor and queen, the kings and ministers of the first product wear coral Dynasty Pearls, and the civil officials and military officials wear the Miscellaneous Treasure Dynasty Pearls above the fourth grade, and this string is the Miscellaneous Treasure Dynasty Pearls.

The pearls on this string of pearls are eastern pearls, and from the point of view of their condition, they are quite well preserved. Pearls are generally preserved for less than a hundred years before there will be chapping, yellowing and other aging phenomena, but because the east pearl is yellowish even if it is a new pearl, so the beads on the pearl do not look so old, and, the most important thing is that each bead is about the same, there is no phenomenon that part of the pearl is yellow, part of it is white, which proves that the beads have not been changed in the middle.

The pearl of the pearl is made of coral, the memorial is a tourmaline bead, and there are two pieces of jadeite jade, but the memorial should have been replaced later.

However, this flaw does not affect the value of this string of pearls, because the string of the pearls will be changed frequently, so as long as the main body of the pearl is fine, this pearl can be recognized as genuine.

The starting price of Chaozhu is 300,000 yuan, and the competition is very fierce, even Xu Ling chased several rounds, and the final transaction price was as high as 800,000 yuan, which is rarely encountered in underground auctions.

The third and fourth lots are very ordinary, and the fifth lot makes Li Yi want to fight.

This is a remnant of an ancient book engraved in the Song Dynasty, there is no cover and back cover, only seven pages, look at the content should be one of the four masters of the regular script of the Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Xun's book "Liquan Ming" tablet of the Northern Song Dynasty inscription, if complete, it can be called priceless.

In the rare book market, Song carved books are undoubtedly the diamonds in the crown. According to statistics, the total number of Song carvings that can be found in the whole of China today will not exceed 1,200, most of which have been designated as national first-class cultural relics, collected in museums at all levels, and very few have been lost to the people.

Therefore, once the Song engraving appears in the auction, it will definitely cause fierce competition. Li Yi remembers that the Southern Song Dynasty engraving "Ju Song Guangyun" was auctioned in 11 years, although there were only five volumes, the transaction price reached more than 30 million!

These few pages are treasures too!

The starting price of the fragment of "Liquan Ming" was 40,000 yuan, and after many battles, Li Yi finally won it for 118,000 yuan.

"There are two rare boutiques out of five, it seems that Wang Laojiu has put some effort into today's auction."

Tan Moxuan sighed, glanced at the people who participated in the auction, and found that after these two auctions that were much more fierce than before, most of them cheered up, especially Wang Qingwu of Hengyuan Real Estate, after sitting up straight, the burly fat man behind him couldn't see the auction table clearly, so he had to change his position.

The sixth and seventh things are ordinary, and the eighth is said to be a statue of the Buddha head from an ancient temple, and it is directly auctioned, Wang Laojiu frowned, shouted Wang Xiaoliu and commanded a few words, and then slapped his face and said loudly:

"It seems that everyone's interest is very high today, so I'll just join in the fun, take out the things that were originally going to be the finale of the next auction, and test your eyesight!"

As soon as they heard that the next thing to appear was the finale of the next auction, everyone in the audience immediately raised their emotions and stretched their necks to look at the stage.

After a short time, Wang Xiaoliu walked out of the bedroom and handed a scroll to Wang Laojiu's hand.

Painting? The eyes of everyone in the audience couldn't help but light up, and then they were also deeply vigilant.

The difficulty of identifying calligraphy and painting is quite high, especially ancient calligraphy and painting. The difficulty in identification is not the new imitation, but how to distinguish the old imitation from the genuine.

As early as ancient times, counterfeiters abounded and were highly skilled. Some of these counterfeiters do not have utilitarian purposes, but are purely to pay tribute to famous artists and learn from them, and Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao in modern times is a good example.

And some are different, they are purely for the pursuit of profits, hollowing out the heart to forge and transform calligraphy and painting, the patterns are endless, in the Tang Dynasty Zhang Huaijin "Book Break" there is a description of "buy the king and get the sheep", referring to the original want to buy Wang Xianzhi words, but the last thing to get is Yang Xin's imitation.
