Episode 0021: Female opponent

There are many places in this world that ordinary people don't know about at all, and even if they do, they can't enter it. The place where Wang Meng is going tonight is such a place, the underground auction house.

In this auction house, there is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that you don't sell. Because of certain restrictions, the auction house had to survive in the dark. However, the fame is so great that it is very loud in the upper circles.

Unlike other underground auction houses, there is a special rule. If the customer wants something in particular, he can also take the initiative to apply to the auctioneer, and after paying a certain search fee, the auction house will find the item through a special channel. Of course, when you find something, it doesn't sell it to you, it goes into the auction process. If you want to bring something back, you have to bleed once.

Because of the special channels, the auction items in the auction hall are diverse and involve many types.

Wang Meng is one of the regular visitors here, and his biggest purpose here is to find Wang Qian's sword through the manpower of the auction house. However, a year has passed, and there has been no news.

In addition to looking for swords, Wang Meng came here to buy some old objects that he liked. If you visit this place often, your money will naturally be spent. Don't look at Wang Meng's mansion with hundreds of millions of dollars, the room is full of antiques. But none of the money on him exceeded 7 figures, and it was all cash.

He is a person who can change his identity at any time, and it is really inconvenient to use bank deposits.

Since there is no money, what if Wang Meng comes here and has something in his favor? It's actually quite simple, bartering, the oldest method, also works here.

The auction hall is not large, but the security protection is quite in place. The decoration is luxurious, and there is a feeling of being like an emperor when you come in. As soon as she entered the door, another beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam that was too low-cut to lead the way and led Wang Meng to the seat where he usually sits.

Frequent customers and service staff all know what position Wang Meng likes to sit in.

There are no private rooms in the venue, all of which are in the form of round tables, and there is a high platform directly in front of the seats, on which all the auction items are officially auctioned.

The service staff brought Wang Meng a glass of high-grade liquor, holding up a sign, and tonight's auction album.

Wang Meng flipped through the album, and there were a total of ten auction items today, each of which had a history. Three calligraphy and paintings, four ceramics, two jade, and two ancient books.

If you have something you like, take a picture, and if you don't like it, just sit here and have a good time, this is Wang Meng's mentality.

When he saw the heart-shaped jade pendant, his heart twitched tightly. After coming here so many times, Wang Meng made up his mind for the first time that he was bound to take down one thing, that is, the heart-shaped jade pendant.

Wang Meng came over in time, so the auction officially began soon after he took his seat.

The whole venue immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the stage.

The auctioneer was an old man with gray hair, but he spoke sonorously and powerfully. Behind him was a delicate woman in a purple cheongsam with a tray in her hand and a jar-like colored porcelain on it.

"Today's first auction item is the Ming Wanli red and green color jar, the color glaze is uniform and beautiful, and it is well preserved. The reserve price is 200,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 10,000 yuan per lot. It's not too good, you can warm up first, let's get started! "The auctioneer understands everyone's mentality very well, and also understands the rules of the auction house, the first thing, no one will take the best thing, even if the atmosphere is exaggerated, it will not be auctioned for much price.

"210,000, one time." Although the thing was average, someone immediately made a bid, and the auctioneer shouted the price.

This kind of thing is not attractive to Wang Meng at all.

The first auction item was difficult to cause an auction**, and everyone had reservations, so it was finally sold at a price of 340,000.

It's clear to everyone that the good stuff is usually saved for the end. Don't look at the album with only ten auction items, but the regulars here know it. In addition to the auction items in the album, there will be two hidden auction items, which are the focus of today's auction. In the case that you don't like too much in the front, everyone will have reservations.

The first few items were sold at good prices, but the competition was not fierce.

Soon it was Wang Meng's turn to take a fancy to the heart-shaped jade pendant.

"This heart-shaped jade pendant has been identified by experts and should belong to the Song Dynasty. But at that time, whether anyone could come up with the idea of a heart shape is indeed worth pondering. At present, there have never been such objects in the Song Dynasty unearthed. The shape conflicts with the age, so the value of this thing is unknown, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and you can only judge it yourself. Either it is a rare treasure, or it is a fake that can deceive experts, with a reserve price of 100,000 and a price increase of 100,000 each time. "The auctioneer did not describe the quality of the jade pendant too much, but only started from the contradictions of the object and gave everyone an ambiguous result.

It's like betting on stones, sometimes good and sometimes bad, sometimes skill is important, but more often luck dominates.

To buy, or not to buy?

If it is true, it is a jade pendant created by a master at that time, then the value of this jade pendant will be incalculable.

If it's fake, at most it's a good jade, and the price will be dead at one or two thousand.

There was a dead silence in the venue, everyone stared at the heart-shaped jade pendant, stared at the auctioneer, no one made the first move, and hesitated.

This is what the auction house wants, and it is precisely because of the uncertainty that this thing is valuable. Therefore, unlike the previous auction items, the reserve price is about the same, but the way of increasing the price is quite fierce, the reserve price is only 100,000, and a price increase will cost 100,000.

Although Wang Meng is very eager to get the jade pendant in his hands, he must not be too eager in the auction. Because your eagerness will also let many people know that this thing is valuable, thus turning people who are not opponents into opponents.

The auctioneer had a smile on his face, but he was a little anxious inside. The boss behind the scenes said that this thing could be auctioned for a high price, but he had already bid twice, and if he shouted again, the jade pendant would be unauctioned. But now there is silence in the audience, and no one has any intention of making a move!

"One hundred thousand, twice. If there is no price increase, I will take this thing back. There is only one chance, and there is no waiting for it to expire. Once this thing is genuine, it will be worth at least 100 times the auction price. For the last time, 100,000 ......"

"Two hundred thousand!"

Just as the auctioneer was about to shout out for the third time, someone finally raised the price, and it was a woman.

Although no one who can come here is poor for money, but no one wants to spend a lot of money either. Faced with such ambiguity, they ultimately chose to be conservative.

Wang Meng was waiting for the last time to shout, but someone made a move before him. Following the voice, he looked over, and it was the back of a woman, and he couldn't see the face. With long hair coiled at the back of his head, he is wearing a European suit on his upper body, and he is very capable, and he looks like he should be an elite in the workplace.

"Three hundred thousand." The auctioneer was so excited that he was about to cry, and at the last moment, he finally began to explode.

With an opponent, Wang Meng began to take the initiative.

"Four hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!"

The price is constantly rising, of course, it is only the woman and Wang Meng who are bidding. Both of them seemed to have a strong interest in this heart-shaped jade pendant. There is no need for the auctioneer to fool around, it is natural to increase the price with each other.

The price of something that no one cared about just now exceeded two million in the blink of an eye, and it is still rising. ……………… ps: The updates in the last two days have not been very stable, and Lao Xi's recent health is really poor.
