Chapter 137: Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful!
ps: Today's first chapter, a monthly pass is very needed, please support more, thank you.
"Bear the pain and cut love?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration flashed, and he was inexplicably surprised: "Old Sun, what do you mean...... The Dong family, are you going to let the baby out? ”
"Haha, smart." Sun Lao smiled approvingly: "There is no way, in order to calm the anger of the people, they have to do this." Otherwise, everyone's anger will definitely bury them. ”
"Specifically, what are the Dong family going to do?" Qi Xiang was very curious.
"Auction." Sun Lao said truthfully: "They plan to hold an auction, and more than a dozen people who have been cheated are eligible to participate." When the time comes, the money obtained from the auction will be compensated to everyone, and maybe there will be a surplus. ”
"Good idea." Qi Xiang's eyes lit up: "The wool comes out of the sheep." ”
"Yes." Elder Sun nodded, and then pointed at the Wu brothers: "The two of them are even luckier." The Dong family knew that they were famous appraisers, so they simply entrusted them to authenticate the authenticity of the treasures at auction. ”
"Hey, luck, it's luck." Second Master Wu smiled and said, "It seems that we have come to the right place this time." ”
"When is this auction going on?" Qi Xiang asked, "Can you let people visit?" ”
"This ......" Old Sun turned his head to look at the middle-aged man in his eyes, and said with a smile: "This matter, I also asked Mr. Yang." It is estimated that the auction is of a secret and non-public nature, and if no one leads the way, it will not be allowed to be observed. ”
"If you two are interested, come with me to see the excitement then." Mr. Yang is also very generous and doesn't mind the two of them walking together.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang." Qi Xiang hit the snake with the stick, and said with a smile: "I'm causing you trouble." ”
"Well said, well said." Mr. Yang waved his hand and said: "Neighbors, help each other, it is also appropriate." As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and there will be time later. It's about moving around a lot. ”
On the way to Dong's house just now, Mr. Yang also took the opportunity to inquire about Qi Xiang's origin and knew that he was a young and promising calligraphy and painting appraiser. For capable people, Mr. Yang naturally has to maintain basic respect.
After all, Mr. Yang's favorite antique projects include calligraphy and painting. Maybe in the future, if you find something that you can't get accurate, you will have to come to the door to ask Qi Xiang for guidance.
Multiple friends is certainly not a bad thing.
Under the warm hospitality of Mr. Yang, everyone came to his mansion. It was a luxurious building, even more luxurious than the Western-style villa of Qixiang Manor, with an elegant and gorgeous living room layout. It's like the court of a medieval kingdom.
In Mr. Yang's home, there was no need for him to do it himself, and when he saw the guests coming, someone had already made tea and served it directly to the hall.
However, no matter how fragrant the tea is, everyone's mind is not on the tea.
Mr. Yang hesitated slightly, and took the initiative to speak: "Master Wu, the value of that Liuxia lamp." Is it really more than 10 million? ”
"How?" Second Master Wu raised his eyebrows: "You don't believe it? ”
"No, no, no." Mr. Yang hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "I just want to make sure, if the thing is really good, then I will definitely let go and compete with others." ”
"Fight. Why don't you fight. Second Master Wu suddenly realized, and then pouted: "Mr. Yang, you are right to listen to me, no matter how expensive things are, you have to buy them." Absolutely no loss. ”
"Ahem......"
Uncle Wu had a calm personality and seemed to have different opinions, so he kindly said, "Of course." Do what you can. If you like something, you don't necessarily have to buy it, right? ”
"This is also a ......" Wu Erye hesitated for a moment, and then agreed: "Anyway, Mr. Yang, you can grasp it yourself, collecting things also pays attention to a fate, things are auctioned, and you can't take them down, that means that fate is not enough, that is a common thing." ”
Everyone is in the industry, so they naturally understand the meaning of Wu Erye's words.
At the auction, it was the world of capital. To put it bluntly, whoever has the money can have the last laugh.
No matter how much you like something, even to the point of obsession, but without money, things will not fall into your hands. This is a painful realization, it is estimated that Uncle Wu and Second Master Wu have also experienced a lot, so they have seen it lightly.
The four words of doing what you can are undoubtedly the most helpless and sad experience summary in the entire industry.
Mr. Yang heard the meaning of the strings, and suddenly fell silent, and his heart was hesitating. He is rich, but his money does not fall from the sky, but works hard and slowly accumulates to make a fortune.
Usually for some elegant hobbies, he spends a lot of money. But this money, the amount is not large, and there is a prescribed limit every year. Once you reach the upper limit, restrain yourself and wait for the next year.
This kind of self-discipline and moderation is the biggest difference between the rich generation and the rich second generation.
Not long ago, Mr. Yang was cheated by the Dong family's loser, and that money was his upper limit. Although the Dong family promised to return the money to him, this is not the point.
The key is the auction of Liuxia Zhan, does he want to participate? If you participate, is it worth spending tens of millions of dollars to buy things?
Mr. Yang fell into deep thought and was undecided.
Seeing this situation, Qi Xiang's heart moved, and he vaguely understood Mr. Yang's thoughts, and said with a smile at the moment: "Second master, I think that Liuxia cup may not be able to sell for tens of millions." ”
"Hey, boy, do you doubt my vision?" Second Master Wu blew his beard and stared, unhappy. He has always been proud of his professionalism and cannot listen to doubts
"No......" Qi Xiang hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Second master, you misunderstood, I don't doubt your vision. It's just that I think you're pushing yourself a little bit too much. ”
"Huh?" Second Master Wu raised his eyebrows, thoughtful: "How can I push myself and others?" ”
"Second master, you have to know that other people's cognition of Liuxia Zhan is not as detailed as yours." Qi Xiang said with a smile: "At most, they think that Liuxia Zhan is a good thing, and whether they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it is also a question." ”
"Ah, yes."
Second Master Wu suddenly woke up, a little embarrassed: "Xiao Qi, you're right, I'm a little taken for granted, the people who participate in the auction may not all understand the true value of the Liuxia Zhan, maybe not tens of millions, you can take things down." ”
"It's really ......" Mr. Yang's eyes lit up and he moved his mind.
"It's very likely." Second Master Wu nodded, and hesitated a little: "But I'm afraid that there are also people who understand, so this wishful thinking won't work." ”
"Whether there is someone who understands or not, but it is difficult to say, and it will be known until the time comes......"
The auction took place just three days later.
The venue of the venue is really remote, located in a lonely villa in the suburbs. Around the villa, there are large fields, surrounded by hills, green water, bushes, and the scenery is not bad.
Under the leadership of Mr. Yang, Qi Xiang and others arrived as scheduled and successfully entered the villa.
The villa's spacious hall has also been renovated and arranged to resemble an auction house. There are rows of seats, and tea and fruit candy are placed on the table, which is quite thoughtful.
At this moment, there are also many people sitting in the venue. Some people are very close to each other, talking and laughing, while others are far away and clearly distinguished.
"Mr. Yang......"
"Old Yang!"
As soon as Mr. Yang came in, people he knew greeted him. People who don't know each other, glance at him, and continue to talk and laugh, drink tea, distant relatives, and what the relationship is, all of which are vividly expressed here.
Mr. Yang smiled lovely, walked around the venue, found a vacant seat, and then beckoned Qi Xiang and Sun Lao to sit down.
As for Uncle Wu and Second Master Wu, when they entered the door of the villa, they had already asked the Dong family to invite them to the second floor to verify the authenticity of the Liuxia Zhan with other appraisers.
The verification process seems to be a bit long. More than half an hour passed, and the people who participated in the auction had already arrived, but the auction had not yet started, and everyone felt a little impatient and impetuous.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and everyone hurriedly looked, only to see a group of people pouring into the hall. Qi Xiang looked and found that Uncle Wu and Second Master Wu were among them.
However, at this time, Uncle Wu and Second Master Wu, their expressions were in a trance, and they seemed to be a little out of order. Not only the two of them, but also the several appraisers next to them also looked confused, and the situation seemed to be a little wrong.
Qi Xiang was thoughtful, and at the same time noticed that compared with the few people who were in a trance, the faces of several people in the Dong family were full of smug and sad looks.
While Qi Xiang pondered, his eyes flew and moved, and after confirming that the loser of the Dong family would not appear on this occasion, he felt a little relieved.
He knew that as the "sinner" of the Dong family, that prodigal son, must be punished, maybe he has been grounded, and it is absolutely impossible for him to show off outside the market.
That's why he agreed to Mr. Yang's invitation and came here to see the excitement.
"As expected......"
Qi Xiang was relieved, sitting firmly on the sofa and watching coldly, he was not in a hurry at all, anyway, no matter what happened, the Dong family would definitely reveal the answer, so why urge.
"Everyone is welcome."
At the same moment, a person walked out, stood on the auction table, faced everyone, and said, "I also know why everyone came, so I won't say anything superfluous." ”
"Just now, the appraiser you brought with you has made a detailed appraisal of Liuxia Zhan, what is the specific situation, you can consult them......
The person's tone was inexplicable, but his voice was very solemn: "The treasures that the Dong family has treasured for hundreds of years are definitely not in vain, so I hope you will carefully consider how much things are worth." ”
As he spoke, the man walked down, giving everyone room for reverie. At the same time, the appraisers also returned to their respective bosses and began to report the results of the appraisal.
"Master Wu, how are things?" Mr. Yang couldn't wait to ask: "This time, it's the real thing, right?" ”
This time, Second Master Wu, who has always loved to talk, was surprisingly silent, but Uncle Wu, who was silent, spoke, and his voice was a little trembling: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”
"What?" Mr. Yang was stunned.
"Rare, rare." Uncle Wu said excitedly: "Sure enough, it is better to be famous than to meet, and it is better to meet than to be famous." It is shallow on paper, and only after really seeing it, can you understand the wonderful ...... of Liuxiazhan" (to be continued......
