Ten minutes later, a picture of a golden bamboo forest inkstone appeared on the LCD screen.

The middle-aged man next to me on my left side looked suspicious and muttered, "I was still wondering when I previewed yesterday, how could there be such an integrated study room in the Ming and Qing dynasties?" Later, when I looked at the description, I realized that it was an antique from this book. He shook his head to himself: "It's only a few years old, and I really dare to call it the word 'ancient'." ”

A person next to him smiled and said, "But isn't it, it's better to take this thing to the book, why do Chinese buy it if they have nothing to do?" That's when you're full, and there's nothing to do. ”

"Well, it's not cheap, I don't really see what it's worth anyway."

I glanced around the room, and the expressions of the others, except for a few of them, had already told me that they would not raise their cards.

Zou Yue'e knocked my knee with the leg of Erlang who was looking: "I look at everyone's attitude, this inkstone box has to be studied, right?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No way, that's because they don't know how to do it, well, this thing is very valuable in this book, at least more expensive than the previous lots." "I said this in a very low voice, and only Aunt Zou and I could hear it," ...... If you don't believe me, you can see that the competition will be fierce later. ”

"Really?" Zou Yue'e was a little unconvinced: "I didn't see anything special." ”

Clearing his throat, the auctioneer said: "Painting the gold bamboo forest picture inkstone, said to be an antique from the Meiji era, 26cm*21.8cm*4.5cm, the starting price is 60,000 yuan, and the price will be increased by 10,000 yuan each time, okay, start bidding now." ”

Most of the Chinese below talked about other things, and seemed to pay little attention to the inkstone box, and they didn't even bother to look at it.

Three seconds after the auctioneer's voice fell, a bespectacled man below held up the number plate: "Seventy thousand!" ”

The auctioneer said, "Seventy thousand...... No. 1 bid 70,000 yuan...... There is still no bidding...... 70,000 ...... Seventy thousand ......"

Another well-dressed middle-aged woman with the surname of Ben held the sign high above her head.

"Oh...... This way...... Eighty thousand...... No. 5's 80,000 ......" may be that the previous session was too boring, and today's auctioneer was not excited, and said weakly: "...... There are no higher bids...... 80,000 ...... 80,000 once...... Eighty thousand twice ......"

This time, after waiting for several seconds, the glasses before hesitated to raise the card.

"No. 1 is out to 90,000...... 90,000 ...... Ninety thousand ......"

The middle-aged woman shook her head and put the cards on her lap, as if she was no longer fighting.

“…… Isn't there a higher price...... Ninety thousand two ......"

Observing the expressions of several people present again and again, I was suddenly stunned, how could it be such a scene? It's calm, no wind or waves, and it's not hot at all? Look at what they mean, as if this thing is worth it! No way! How so? Didn't the report say that they would fight for their heads?

Since the small auction that Mr. Qian participated in was different from my current time, I also considered that the bidders and the prices of things would fluctuate slightly, but I didn't expect it to fluctuate so much!

Zou Yue'e smiled and said, "Jing, didn't you say that the competition would be fierce?" ”

If I go, don't be angry with me, okay? The inkstone is mine!

I quickly looked into the back corner, where Brother Hao and a middle-aged man had appeared at some point, frowning and talking in a low voice.

"Ninety thousand...... 90,000 ...... Over there...... No. 9 bid 100,000 ...... 100,000 yuan......"

This time it was an Asian who couldn't tell his nationality, and I don't know if he was Poly's babysitter.

"100,000 yuan at a time...... There are no bids...... 100,000 yuan twice ......"

This time, the waiting time was longer, and when the auctioneer shouted the three words three times, the glasses themselves slowly raised their cards.

"110,000 ...... 110,000 yuan......" There was silence below, and no one answered.

110,000?

It sounds like a lot, but once the commission is deducted, it is not enough to get 100,000 yuan!

Is this the end of it?

I was pounding nervously, it was not easy to make some money, why did things always go way I didn't expect?

Are the people who are bound to get the inkstone box not come? Or is everyone pretending to be garlic? Is it to give the opponent a false impression?

I couldn't tell the difference, so I had to hope that Poly's nursery would continue to raise the price, but the auctioneer shouted twice, but the person they should have arranged in advance still didn't move. My heart sank, and my anxious eyes turned to the backcourt, Brother Hao looked back and shook his head at me slightly, as if to say that they were not ready to let the nursery interfere, and this price seemed to be coming to an end.

I was silent for a while, and I didn't blame him, although I just said 170,000, but the atmosphere at the moment is indeed a little sluggish, and they are also afraid that if they don't get it right, they will smash things back into their hands.

"110,000 yuan...... Are there any bidders......"

Zou Yue'e glanced at me: "Why are you sweating?" You okay? ”

I didn't even have the heart to answer, I shook my head, my palms clasped together.

What to do? It's about to be closed!

I have to admit that my confidence was shaken at the beginning, and I even regretted not selling it to Dean Shi the day before yesterday. Calm down, I forced myself to calm down, no matter what the reason, since Mr. Qian once auctioned it for a high price of 170,000, there must be a reason for it.

Take a gamble?

Bet!

The price of 110,000 yuan is completely unacceptable to me, which is tantamount to slapping myself in the face and admitting my failure. If it is really sold for 110,000 yuan, my self-confidence will inevitably be greatly hit, and it may affect my whole life, becoming timid, and losing the idea of fighting forward.

Isn't it just hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Anyway, the thing is my own! It's a big deal to lose tens of thousands of dollars in commissions! What is this?

I deliberately turned my heart sideways, snatched the auction card from Zou Yue'e's hand, and raised it vigorously: "...... One hundred and fifty thousand! "I added 40,000 at once!

Everyone was stunned!

The two Chinese businessmen next to me looked at me in amazement, and Wei Bin and Liangzi on the other side also looked at me, Xu was wondering what I was doing as a Chinese, buying this antique?

The most shocked was Zou Yue'e, she was directly startled by the "150,000" I shouted, "Are you crazy!?" ”

There are legal regulations that at the auction, you can't auction your own things, but I took Aunt Zou's auction card, so there is no problem," ...... It's okay, I'll pay for it. ”

Zou Yue'e said angrily: "Where did you get the money, the auction is all entrusted to come in, hey, you can really do it, just a thousand instructions not to let me lift, but you are energetic, Jing, this kind of auction, with regrets?" ”

Being interrupted by Aunt Zou like this, my mood eased a lot, and I couldn't help laughing: "It's not a child's house, how can I regret it?" ”

Looking back, Brother Hao and the middle-aged man also looked at me vigorously, Brother Hao was even so anxious to pick up the phone and call me, I didn't say much, hung up the phone, and looked at the auctioneer with firm eyes.

"One hundred and fifty thousand...... 150,000 yuan on the 26th...... Is there a higher bid...... 150,000 ......"

The bespectacled man frowned, stared back at my eyes for a while, and raised his card.

"No. 1 bid 160,000 yuan...... 160,000 yuan ......"

"Fortunately......" Zou Yue'e breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at me with a smile: "You really want to scare your Aunt Zou to death, don't you?" If you want Sister Cui to know that you owe 150,000 yuan when you go out, you can't scold me to death, hehe, if you think about holding cards, don't open such a high price at once, in case someone else doesn't pick up, won't you be dumbfounded? Do you understand? ”

I didn't listen to Aunt Zou say anything, but I found that No. 1's bid this time was obviously much more decisive than the previous times.

Zou Yue'e stretched out her hand and flipped her palm up: "Give me the number plate, don't mess around in the future." ”

I looked at Na Yue himself, and my heart was determined, I dodged Aunt Zou's hand, grabbed the number plate and raised my hand: "170,000!" ”

"You!" Zou Yue'e was almost angry with me, and her face was flat: "You are fooling around!" Monkey business! ”

"170,000...... No. 26 ...... 170,000 yuan ......"

The kick I stepped in made the atmosphere of the scene change abruptly, and it immediately became subtle.

A few acquaintances said that I look at me, I look at you, and there is a look of doubt in their eyes. There are not a few people who like Chinese antiques, but there are very few Chinese who like this antique, I am afraid no one will believe that I, a serious Chinese, would ask for a book of antiques like a life, right?

Just wonder what you want!

At this time, the woman who had bid first held up a sign, "190,000!" ”

I was happy in my heart, but I hesitated again, 190,000?

It's really a lot, and it's slightly exceeded my expectations, but can it be higher? Is this their bottom line?

"This way...... 190,000 ...... Is there anything else to bid...... 190,000 ......"

The so-called difficult beginning, when I let go of the heavy psychological burden and raised the cards, the pessimism has turned into optimism.

Isn't it just a commission of tens of thousands of yuan?

Bet!

Under Zou Yue'e's somewhat angry gaze, I did not hesitate to hold up the sign: "Two hundred and one thousand!" ”

The audience was silent, and after a few seconds, the auctioneer said, "Two hundred and twenty thousand ......."

Brush, brush, and everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at me.

“…… 210,000 ...... Couldn't it be any higher......"

Dizzy, don't look at me, you guys hurry up and raise your cards!

"Two hundred and twenty ......"

A few said that the very hesitant expression on my face made me feel so worried, I knew that the price of this call was a bit high, Khan, brother, raise the card, I will definitely not raise it again, really, lift it, don't hesitate.

The auctioneer looked left and right: "Is it gone?" ”

No one said anything.

Under the frightened eyes of Zou Yue'e and me, the auctioneer picked up the hammer: "Two hundred and twenty thousand third ......"

"Two hundred and twenty thousand!" The bespectacled man gritted his teeth and spit out a few words.

I leaned back in my chair with relief, and whew, almost self-defeating.

However, my efforts have not been in vain, 220,000 ah, compared with the value of the inkstone itself, it can be called a sky-high price!
