"Okay, now I declare the afternoon auction officially open, and invite the 201st treasure to the stage." At half past two in the afternoon, as the auctioneer on the high platform landed with a hammer, a staff member immediately came to the stage with a tray, and a white jade was placed on the plate, which also announced the official start of the second half of the auction.

At this moment, most of the people in the venue also began to shift their attention and looked at the stage together.

However, Zhou Mingluo, who was sitting in the front row, looked a little strange, and continued to participate in this auction, but Bi Lao, Song Lao, and Zhao Lao did not follow, but waited for him outside at Bi Lao's house.

Waiting for the auction to go home with him after the auction and watch the legendary treasure Ding Shui Belt, in fact, Zhou Mingluo really thought that it would be okay not to participate in the afternoon auction, he had already got what he wanted, such as expensive porcelain bought for twenty or thirty million, and it was enough to take one as the treasure of the town store for the time being.

As for the general antiques, he basically buys them to absorb [Wenqi] or feed the little brown bear, and it is better to buy them at auction than to buy them in ordinary stores outside.

But I didn't expect the three elders to insist on letting him participate in the auction before speaking, the meaning of the three was still the same as before, the two sides did not have a deep friendship before, and they couldn't let Zhou Mingluo not do their own business for their business, then they would be too reluctant to go, since the three elders insisted so much that Zhou Ming would no longer shirk it, but before coming, he also tried to invite the three elders to take a look at the auction together, but he didn't expect the three of them to shake their heads at the same time and refuse.

At first, he was a little surprised, thinking that since the three elders all loved collecting, and if Bi Lao was still interested in visiting the local antique market when he went to other places, why did they not want to participate in the auction in Zhongzhou?

This answer was not until after the third elder left, and Lin Hao on one side explained slightly.

The reason is very simple, the three elders are a little afraid to participate in such an occasion, or that can't be called afraid, but annoying, because their identity is too powerful, and in Zhongzhou, many people know the style of the three old men, let's just say Zhao Lao, the deputy ministerial-level officials in the two provinces are his protégés, and one is still a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, this is not all, his old man is a real peach and plum all over the world, and many of them are in important positions all over the country, and such a guy can imagine how many people will be sought after as soon as he appears.

Those people usually don't dare to go up to their house to pay a visit, but when they meet them outside, they can't refuse, right? After saying hello, people will talk two more words, even if each person will say two or three sentences at most and leave, but think about how many people are in the auction hall, right? As long as one person comes forward to say hello and he doesn't refuse, it's strange that the others don't see the stitches.

The three old men are currently in a state of happiness, and they definitely don't have a good impression of those who just come up to auction horses for their influence, and they are definitely not interested in dealing with hundreds of people in a row, so they often don't participate in this kind of auction occasion.

"Hello Bi Lao~"

"Yes."

"You're always coming to the auction, aren't you?"

"Yes."

……………… One person asked this, a hundred people asked this, more than two hundred asked one by one, and it was too normal for three old men not to come to such an occasion.

With Lin Hao's explanation, Zhou Mingluo suddenly realized that those old people usually walk around in private for a meal, or go to the antique market is nothing, after all, although they have great influence, but there are many Chinese, the probability of meeting acquaintances when walking around is not large, and there are at most one or two people, well, one or two sounds are nothing, after all, they are not stars, ordinary citizens know that they are not much, but auctions, especially high-level auctions, are different, there will be a large number of people with a lot of energy, Not all eight out of ten will know them, but one or two out of ten will know.

There is no excitement and sense of accomplishment here, so is it possible to come over and just take a look and leave?

If they just want to see some treasures, they don't need to come here to see them, where can't they go with their influence?

So even if the three of them were very enthusiastic about Zhou Mingluo, they were too lazy to deal with these troubles and stayed outside, after all, since Zhou Mingluo promised them, they would not run away alone.

"Boss Zhou, in the afternoon auction, do you have any goals, you won't fall in love with that Chenghua Doucai again." Just when Zhou Mingluo was thinking, Peng Liren, who was sitting on his side, swept the antiques on the stage with wide eyes, and turned his head to Zhou Mingluo and whispered as if he had lost interest.

Now the first antique on the stage in the afternoon is just an ordinary ancient jade, and the treasure of this auction is actually two pieces, one is the ** in the morning, that is, Zhou Mingluo won the Ru kiln porcelain mandarin duck water droplets, and the other is placed in the afternoon, the same is the famous Ming Chenghua Doucai in history.

He didn't take the mandarin duck droplets, but he was determined to take it eighty percent of this Chenghua Doucai, saying that it was eighty percent, but he was afraid that Zhou Mingluo would insert another cylinder, so at this time, he was a little weak to inquire about the news in advance.

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Mingluo immediately laughed, Chenghua Doucai, during the Ming Dynasty, China's porcelain industry reached an unprecedented peak, and Chenghua Doucai is the apex of China's colored porcelain manufacturing.

In the 1999 Sotheby's Hong Kong auction, a relatively well-preserved Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup was finally auctioned at a sky-high price of 29.17 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the value of Chenghua Doucai, but Zhou Mingluo did not have a great love for that Chenghua Doucai, so he immediately shook his head and said, "I don't have much interest for the time being." ”

Peng Liren was suddenly relieved, and glanced at Zhou Mingluo with some joy, before he smiled, "Hey, that's good, if Boss Zhou makes a move, I'm really not sure that I can withstand it." ”

"Mr. Peng is too polite." Zhou Mingluo was a little speechless, and just chatted for a while, the 201st lot on the auction table was also taken, and the old man on the stage smiled suddenly, "Everyone, what we want to invite next is today's No. 202 lot, speaking of which is a little strange, because so far our auction house does not know what this thing is, only that it is a bronze from the Xia Dynasty, but the shape is a little strange, originally the industry was not ready to put this lot, but later after some discussion it was put on the auction house." , I also hope to have the opportunity to let people who know him take it away, so that it will not be secretly invested. ”

As the service staff took out a lot again, the old man in Tang costume on the high platform smiled and spoke, and his words made the audience in an uproar, I don't know what the lot is?

This kind of thing is rare, and many people have looked through the quotation list and locked their eyes on Lot 202, and then found that it only has a speechless introduction to Xia Dynasty bronzes, but the starting price is only 10,000 yuan.

There are indeed too many things in this quotation, so many people really ignore this general name at first.

After discovering it, everyone looked at the stands again, and saw that it was a bronze pipe that was picked up by the service staff.

And the old man also smiled again and introduced, "Speaking of this lot, it is also a little funny, our auction house at first there were people whimsically thought it was a legendary priceless treasure, and then went through various identifications, including the special surname of the legendary priceless treasure, but there was still no conclusion, so I had to put it in front of everyone, hoping that someone would recognize his origin." This bronze vessel is somewhat damaged, and there is a long crack on it, but the production is also a fine bronze of the Xia Dynasty, but because it may only be a part of a certain bronze and a remnant, the starting price is only 10,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 1,000 yuan each time, and the auction is now officially opened. ”

There was an uproar again in the auction hall with these words, what about the pit people in Nima's auction house, a thing that I don't know what it is, and it may just be a remnant, there is a crack, so I will take it out for auction?

Someone shook his head speechlessly after getting up and looking at the things on the auction table, bronze pipes? A broken pipe about a meter long, square and square, it can't be a scabbard or something, what could it be, and they really don't know what to call such a thing and what it is used for.

But at this moment, Zhou Mingluo, who was originally just a casual appearance, was stunned, and looked straight at the auction table, the pipe, the bronze pipe about a meter long?

In a slight daze, a thick flame suddenly rose within the sensing range of the [Fire Separation Talisman], and a large cyan flame instantly invaded from the high platform in front of him, but this time, these flames did not fill the entire space, but only occupied ninety percent of the range.

"Say, set the water belt? I actually saw another water spot in this auction house? Zhou Mingluo was suddenly excited again, originally he only came here with the mandarin duck water droplet as a target, and even when he met Bi Lao and a few people at noon, he didn't think of coming to participate in the afternoon auction, but he didn't expect that when Bi Lao and others pushed him again because they didn't want to disturb him, he actually encountered a water tie again.

If he really left directly with Bi Lao and the three of them at noon, he would miss out on this treasure.

His luck was pretty good.

But what made him feel even more strange was that the three of Bi Lao surrounded him with blank eyes, just to see the true face of the water belt, but he invited them to participate in this auction The three elders did not come because they were afraid of trouble, but they didn't expect to really miss this treasure like this.

This can only be said to be a trick of creation.

However, in the excitement, Zhou Mingluo had already discovered that there was a problem with the fixed water belt in front of him, it was bad!

Not only did the [Humanistic Fire] on it fail to fill the entire space, but the color of the flame was only cyan, not purple, which showed that the water hose was quite damaged.

But if it weren't for its serious damage, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been auctioned by this auction house, didn't you listen to the auctioneer above, before their auction house had someone mistakenly thought that this was a legendary treasure, but it turned out to be used for all kinds of verification but to no avail, if it wasn't damaged, maybe it would have been collected by others as a treasure.

"The third water belt, this is already the third water belt, do I really have any hope of making up nine? In the end, I pieced together the legendary Dinghai God Needle, the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick? Both excited and happy, although Zhou Mingluo was a little worried about the damage of this fixed water belt, he was not very worried, after all, he had the [King Kong Talisman] and the [Flowing Water Talisman], one can strengthen all things, the other can heal all things, and it should basically be able to be perfectly repaired.

So the first thing that came to his mind was another strange thought.
