Fortunately, the auction preview held by Sotheby's auction house at the Overseas Chinese Hotel lasted until 9 o'clock in the evening, and Tang Dou did not return to his room after returning to the hotel, but went directly to the conference center.

On duty outside the pre-exhibition hall was the Sotheby's staff, and when Tang Dou came again, the staff did not stop him at all, but said to Tang Dou with a smile: "Mr. Tang, that friend of your company is really rushing, when I proposed to my girlfriend, I was almost not forced to hang myself by my mother-in-law......

Tang Dou smiled, exchanged a few casual words with the staff, nodded and walked into the pre-exhibition hall.

The small auction held by Sotheby's in Jinmen has a total of 52 lots, in addition to more than a dozen antiques from home and abroad, basically some famous limited edition luxury goods, and a bottle of unknown red wine salvaged from a shipwreck on the seabed, which has a history of more than 100 years and is also one of the hot spots of this auction.

The circle of high-end collectors in China is not big or small, and Tang Dou walked around the pre-exhibition hall for a while when he saw an acquaintance.

At the same time, the acquaintance also saw Tang Dou who was looking over, he smiled slightly, nodded slightly at the man and woman next to him and apologized, and walked over to Tang Dou with a smile.

Tang Dou greeted the man, stretched out his hand with a smile, and laughed in a low voice: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Bai here, fortunately." ”

This Mr. Bai is Bai Songnian, a miscellaneous expert of the Palace Museum, whom Tang Doutong Guò He Bin met during the Jinling Spring Meeting.

Bai Songnian shook hands with Tang Dou with a smile, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Tang here, I heard Mr. Qian say that Mr. Tang is going to build a museum in Jinling?" ”

The people who enter and leave this kind of pre-exhibition hall are either rich or expensive, and everyone is a person of status, so naturally they will not make a loud noise, and they will deliberately lower their voices when they speak, so as not to disturb others to appreciate those lots.

Tang Dou smiled and said: "It is still in preparation, and it is estimated that the opening of the museum will wait until next year. ”

Bai Songnian laughed dryly, and said in his heart that there are three great gods in your house, where is my turn to point fingers.

But this is a scene, Bai Songnian naturally smiled and agreed, as for whether to go or not depends on the situation.

After saying a few kind words, Bai Songnian smiled at Tang Dou and asked, "Mr. Tang came to Jinmen to participate in the auction this time, I'm afraid it's also for the museum's collection, right?" ”

Tang Dou smiled slightly: "I'll take a look casually, if I find something I like, maybe I will buy one or two back." ”

Bai Songnian said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, your reputation is now famous, and the objects that can make you see are probably not ordinary, I hope the two of us will not crash this time." ”

Tang Dou raised his eyebrows, looked at Bai Songnian and asked, "It seems that Mr. Bai is on business this time." ”

Bai Songnian smiled and said: "This time, the dean has allocated a part of the funds to add a few collections to the museum, but our flexibility in eating national food is not as good as that of you big bosses, and the funds for purchasing the collection are also limited. ”

Tang Dou looked at Bai Songnian and said with a smile: "Then it must be worth the money, no one will spend two yuan to buy something that is only worth one dollar." ”

Tang Dou said this in his mouth, but there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he figured out the key, but he hadn't seen the sacrificial red bottle yet, and Tang Dou wasn't too sure.

Tang Dou and Bai Songnian stood there like this and exchanged a few words, and then Bai Songnian apologized to Tang Dou: "Mr. Tang, you look at it slowly, I still have a few friends over there." ”

Tang Dou smiled and shook hands with Bai Songnian to say goodbye, and walked over to the exhibits displayed on the side.

Tang Dou naturally didn't have any interest in the limited edition luxury goods that were previewed, so he walked around and walked directly to the exhibition area where antiques were displayed.

Bai Songnian walked back to his two friends, and the man in his forties with a famous brand smiled and asked Bai Songnian: "Old Bai, the person who is worth your walk up to say hello is probably not an ordinary person, right?" What's that guy's coming from? ”

Bai Songnian smiled slightly: "Mr. Yan, don't look at that young man who looks inconspicuous, but that young man is not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke." ”

That Mr. Yan laughed: "Lao Bai, you know, I like to deal with people I can't afford to provoke the most, that young man won't be the prince, right?" Tell me about it. ”

Bai Songnian smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Yan, you really know how to get stitches." Let's be honest with you, this young man is Beiyang's son-in-law, Nanzhou's apprentice, and Tang Dou, the owner of Jinling's ancient and modern antique shop, you should have heard of it. ”

"Is that him?" Mr. Yan raised his eyebrows and laughed: "The nephew and son-in-law of Commander Qin of the Second Artillery Artillery is not the prince of the prince, and he is definitely worth handing over." Lao Bai, let me introduce, I'll do the east tonight, let's go to a dragon. ”

Bai Songnian shook his head with a wry smile, and smiled at Mr. Yan: "I'm really convinced of you Shanxi coal bosses, okay, I'll introduce you to the opportunity later." But let's talk about it in advance, you can't fight with me when the red bottle starts shooting. ”

Mr. Yan laughed: "It's just a bottle, let it be given to you." ”

Bai Songnian smiled and patted Mr. Yan's arm: "It's interesting, when I get back to be free, I'll come to your place to help you see your objects." ”

These two people quickly made an equivalent exchange, but Bai Songnian didn't know, and Guan Rongfei, who ordered him to come to bid for this sacrificial red bottle, if he knew that he actually used this method to make a competitor withdraw from the competition for the sacrificial red bottle, would he jump up and scold his mother.

The red bottle at the Sotheby's auction this time is indeed the sheep imitation that Guan Rongfei gave to Guan Rongxia, and Guan Rongfei is also counting on this bottle to attract multiple bids and raise this bottle to a sky-high price.

Whether this bottle can be photographed by Bai Songnian in the end is a matter of no matter to Guan Rongfei.

If Bai Songnian took a photo, it would also be a reasonable name to transfer the money from the Palace Museum from the state account to his own account. If it is seen that this is a fake, then the main responsibility is also borne by Bai Songnian, and Guan Rongfei bears one leadership responsibility at most.

If Bai Songnian hadn't photographed this bottle, it would have been a loss for Guan Rongfei personally.

The purpose of arranging the White Pine Year is to raise the price of this bottle to a sky-high price.

Just imagine, if the experts of the Palace Museum are all on this red bottle to show a must-win gesture, then this bottle will definitely attract collectors from all walks of life, than the Palace Museum's wealthy collectors have gone to the sea, and it is also expected to be auctioned at a sky-high price.

Guan Rongfei's wishful thinking played very well, but he didn't expect Bai Songnian to be clever and eliminate a strong competitor for this bottle in advance before the auction. (To be continued.) )
