Chapter 31: Breaking the Siege
Jade, calligraphy and painting, bronzes, almost every one of the more than a dozen pieces of the auction was popular, and the sound of bidding in the venue was incessant, so that people felt that the price shouted by the crowd was already a number, not a heavy banknote.
Of course, there are also people who accidentally get dizzy and hot, call up the price, and want to regret it but have been hammered by the auctioneer, so they have to stomp their feet in anger.
Soon, it came to the thirteenth collection, which is a mutton fat jade bracelet, which is ancient, the whole body is like white mutton fat, showing pure white translucency under the light, and with a pink mist feeling, clear and pure, white and flawless.
Just seeing this, it makes people think that it is the best color in the white jade, you must know that the general white jade in the light, can not appear translucent, there is no sense of fog, but also there will be different shades of yellow, to be called mutton fat jade, must have the best luster and texture, because of this, mutton fat jade is rare and precious.
And this mutton fat jade bracelet handed down from the Qing Dynasty has a starting price of 700,000!
As soon as Zou Junlong started shooting, he heard a voice in the venue: "1 million!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, and looked over in unison, and Zhao Zhuo didn't look back at all, and knew that it was Tong Dongyang who spoke out, although Tong Dongyang was the second young master of the Tong family, naturally there were many businessmen in the venue who knew him, and he added 300,000 yuan at first sight, and they all dispelled the idea of bidding.
And those who know the industry are secretly surprised by his eyesight and judgment of the price, it can be said that this 1 million can almost be said to be the psychological bottom line of many people, once it exceeds this number, there will be no more bidding.
Tong Dongyang had a confident smile on his face, calmly, and everyone whispered on the side, this jade bracelet is indeed worth a lot, of course it is not a loss to buy it for 1 million, if the price is increased upwards, there is also a little space.
Finally, a businessman from other places shouted: "1.01 million! ”
Before Zou Junlong could speak, Tong Dongyang added without hesitation: "1.05 million." ”
As soon as these words came out, the person immediately became dumbfounded, Zou Junlong shouted three times in a row, and when he saw that no one raised the price, he said finally: "The No. 13 collection was auctioned by Mr. Tong from No. 6." ”
At this time, Tong Dongyang stood up, smiled slightly, and pointed to the front: "This jade bracelet is given to Miss Jing Yao in the third row." ”
As soon as these words fell, everyone looked towards the third row in unison, on the one hand, they were amazed by Tong Dongyang's magnanimity, and on the other hand, they were curious who was worthy of his such a big deal, and the bracelet that cost more than one million was directly given away.
When they saw Jing Yao, everyone gasped, sighing that there was such a beautiful woman in the world, just now because everyone buried their heads in the exhibition when they entered the venue, so there were not many people who noticed Jing Yao, but now after seeing it, they were shocked.
When Jing Yao heard what Tong Dongyang said, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and almost subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhuo, Zhao Zhuo seemed very calm, when Tong Dongyang talked about the offensive just now, he guessed that this guy might do something at the auction, for this rich kid, one million is not much, if it is an ordinary girl, it is estimated that he will be ecstatic.
However, as soon as he saw Jing Yao's eyes, Zhao Zhuo knew how bored she was.
At this time, Tong Dongyang had already walked up from the back row, and at the same time beckoned to He Rongxian, pointing to the mutton fat jade bracelet on the booth.
He Rongxian hurriedly walked over, personally took out the jade bracelet, and handed it over to Tong Dongyang.
Originally, the submission of exhibits was paid after the auction before it could be handed over to the buyer, but seeing He Rongxian's unruly behavior, everyone whispered in the venue, only to know that this man was the second young master of the Tong family, and this Lanjing Auction House was originally the property of the Tong family, so it was natural for He Rongxian to do this.
Tong Dongyang walked up to Jing Yao and said with a slight smile: "Miss Jing, I have fallen in love with you since the first time I saw you, this bracelet is like your incarnation, pure white and flawless, if you don't mind, please accept this thin gift." ”
Some women are jealous and envious, although they can come to this occasion and their net worth is not low, but there are only a few people who can give a million gifts casually, and this courtship is not only bold but also touching.
Just when everyone thought that this would end in a comedy, they heard Jing Yao say without moving: "Thank you Mr. Tong for your kindness, but I don't have any reason to accept your gift." ”
Tong Dongyang was not angry, but smiled lightly: "Miss Jing doesn't have to have a psychological burden, it's not that accepting this thing is equivalent to becoming my girlfriend, I just think it's very suitable for you." ”
Tong Dongyang's words were extremely gentle, and he seemed to be personable, and some of the women in the venue couldn't help but red-eyed, this is simply the Prince Charming in everyone's minds.
However, Jing Yao still shook her head and said, "No matter what, I can't accept this gift." ”
Tong Dongyang smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Jing didn't even give me the opportunity to be friends?" In this case, it is useless to keep this jade bracelet, so let it disappear. As he spoke, he twisted the jade bracelet with two fingers, and as soon as he let go of his fingers, the bracelet would fall to the ground and shatter.
Everyone gasped when they saw it, Jing Yao was also slightly stunned, and Zhao Zhuo was frowning, this guy actually took advantage of Jing Yao's identity as an appraiser!
But as long as he is an honest appraiser, he will not allow anyone to destroy cultural relics, let alone a million bracelets, even if it is only a few hundred or thousand, it is also a treasure left by the ancestors, and each one is a priceless treasure.
Zhao Zhuo knew very well that if Tong Dongyang really did this, Jing Yao would probably speak out to stop it, and in this way, he would have to accept the jade bracelet.
Tong Dongyang obviously had a calculation, he carefully stared at the change in Jing Yao's expression, and when he saw that she was a little moved, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook a trace of a triumphant smile.
Zhao Zhuo's brows sank, and after a moment's thought, he said with a smile: "Jing Yao, isn't your company holding a charity event recently, preparing to help some children in remote mountainous areas return to school?" General Manager Xiao They are moving around to raise funds, since Brother Tong wants to give you the bracelet, then why don't you take Brother Tong to do good deeds, how about helping this as a donation? ”
Jing Yao is so smart about ice and snow, as soon as she heard this, she bowed her head slightly, stretched out her slender jade hand and said, "Since Mr. Tong wants to give me this jade bracelet, he shouldn't mind if I donate it as a donation, right?" ”
Tong Dongyang originally had the idea of playing well, so he wanted Jing Yao to accept this gift, but Zhao Zhuo came out and intervened, as if he had been given to Jing Yao by an army, but it was regarded as a donation, which means that Jing Yao was just helping to donate on his behalf, and he had nothing to do with things like making friends.
If you don't give it, doesn't that mean that you are too stingy to do charity? After all, this million bracelets were said to be given to Jing Yao.
Tong Dongyang couldn't help glaring at Zhao Zhuo fiercely, smiled reluctantly, handed the bracelet to Jing Yao and said, "Since I gave this thing to Miss Jing, then Miss Jing can do whatever she wants." ”
Jing Yao said lightly: "Then I thank Mr. Tong on behalf of the children in the mountainous area." ”
Tong Dongyang snorted and said: "Actually, I also like to do charity, let's have a good chat another day when we have time." ”
Jing Yao didn't speak, and stuffed the jade bracelet into her bag after holding it.
Tong Dongyang saw that things were ruined by Zhao Zhuo, and he had no choice but to walk back to his seat stupidly, and the people in the venue applauded his generosity, it was okay not to applaud, the bursts of applause were like a slap on the face, Tong Feiyu saw the whole thing in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "Second brother, this surnamed Zhao is too arrogant, he dares to come and intervene!" ”
Tong Dongyang's face turned pale, and then he sneered and said, "If he wants to play, I'll have fun with him, we have time." ”
"But...... There's an old man behind him. Tong Feiyu said worriedly.
Tong Dongyang said: "Don't worry, as an old man Ji, he is embarrassed to care about such a jealous thing for our juniors, and I, Tong Dongyang, am also a figure with a head and a face, and I can't use some underworld means, let's come clearly, I want to see if he has three heads and six arms, and dares to rob women with me!" ”
Tong Feiyu suddenly laughed and said: "Second brother, then let's get some good goods, and take a good look at the Dou Porcelain Festival, this kid will know the gap with us, and see what courage he has to compare with us." ”
Tong Dongyang bowed slightly: "You're right, if you want to suppress this kind of person, you have to let him know what the gap is!" ”
The two were chatting in a whisper, and Jing Yao also whispered to Zhao Zhuo at this time: "Thank you for helping me out of the siege, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”
Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "When a friend is in trouble, what can you call a friend if you don't help?" ”
Jing Yao pursed her lips lightly when she heard this, and glanced at Zhao Zhuo deeply, but even he couldn't see himself, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
After such a small episode, the auction continued, and the auction price of the collection also rose, with buyers one after another, and of course one or two items with a high starting price, so that no one bid and the auction failed, but the overall turnover rate has reached nearly 90%, which is a very impressive achievement compared to many auctions where the auction rate is not 70%.
When there are more than 30 lots, the auction price of the collection has exceeded 8 million, and at this time, the much-anticipated "Court Trick Picture" is finally about to be played, and at this time, the atmosphere of the scene has been extremely lively, everyone pricked up their ears, opened their eyes wide, ready to look at this heirloom treasure, and at the same time see how high the auction house will give a starting price.
