Early the next morning, Zeng Rong went to the provincial capital with his uncle. From Linji County to the provincial capital, all the way to the provincial capital, it takes two hours to reach the provincial capital.

The provincial city is also the top ten cities in the country, entering the provincial capital, Zeng Rong found that the big city is really extraordinary, and Linji County is almost all six or seven storey buildings are different, here there are many high-rise buildings, the bright glass on the building reflects the bright light.

Large-scale advertisements can be seen everywhere, and the endless flow of people and vehicles on the roads shows the prosperity of the city.

After leaving the station, the two stopped a taxi and drove directly to the Leladen Hotel.

The Leladen Grand Hotel, a very famous hotel chain in the world, has a minimum of four-star standards.

This one in the provincial capital is a standard five-star hotel. Walking into the brilliant five-star hotel, stepping on the soft thick carpet, Zeng Rong was still a little shocked in his heart, this provincial city is really not his own small county town can be compared, not to mention anything else, the etiquette lady at the door is much more beautiful!

Take the elevator directly to the eighteenth floor, the eighteenth floor, which is where the auction venue is located.

It's half past nine and the auction will start at ten o'clock. This is a special auction about antique literary and artistic works, which are all related to antiques or calligraphy and paintings.

On the eighteenth floor, the uncle showed the invitation letter in his hand, and was taken into the venue by the staff, it stands to reason that the uncle of such an auction is not qualified to be invited, but as the highlight of the show, the owner of the three cans of ancient wine in the Yuan blue and white can, the uncle was regarded as a special guest.

When Zeng Rong and Uncle entered the venue, there were already many people sitting under the rostrum of the venue. In Zeng Rong's eyes, these people look kind-hearted and detached old men, middle-aged men with sharp eyes, successful people in suits and leather shoes, and glamorously dressed ladies. There are even some blonde foreigners.

With the arrival of guests one after another, the auction officially began at ten o'clock.

The first to be auctioned was a landscape painting by a rising artist, which was sold for 20,000 square feet.

The second piece is a piece of porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, a pair of very beautiful hat barrels, which is introduced as one of the eight friends of Zhushan Wang Yeting's works, and actually sold for a price of 800,000 yuan.

"The porcelain of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties is also so valuable?" Zeng Rong asked his uncle very puzzled. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it was only a hundred years from now, in Zeng Rong's consciousness, antiques were naturally more valuable the older they were, and it made no sense that the value of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China was 400,000, and his own Yuan Qinghua was only 300,000.

"Zhushan Bayou has been called a top painter, and the value of this porcelain is actually in the painting on the porcelain." Uncle explained.

Zeng Rong didn't pay much attention to the next few things, the prices were all more than a dozen, hundreds of thousands, these are ordinary collections.

Soon, the auctioneer announced in an impassioned voice that the auction was going to the end and the most exciting part, and the last three heavyweight antiques would be auctioned.

The first thing shocked Zeng Rongzhi! This antique is called an ivory fish basket.

Hearing the fame, Zeng Rong thought it was an ivory carved fish basket, but the auctioneer's introduction immediately surprised Zeng Rong, this ivory fish basket was actually woven from ivory!

This ivory product produced by the Qing Palace Office is very complicated, first soaked in a special potion to soften the ivory, and then split into thin strips like bamboo strips, and then polished and polished, used to weave into a fish basket!

The auctioneer's passionate introduction, this is the only surviving ivory fish basket. Moreover, the recipe for oriental medicine that softens ivory so that it can be split into bamboo strips has been lost. In other words, there will only be one such fish basket in the future.

Ivory is an extremely hard substance, and the fish basket woven from this material immediately pushed the entire venue to the **, and after several rounds of bidding, the fish basket was sold for more than 8 million yuan.

The second treasure is Zeng Rong's three Yuan blue and white jars, and the ancient wine more than 600 years ago inside.

Zeng Rong did not take out all the jars of ancient wine for auction, but left one jar at home and gave one jar to Old Man Yang.

"These are three ancient wines from 600 years ago, and from the perspective of wine alone, they have reached very high quality, and the cellar period of more than 600 years even gives this wine a medicinal function."

"These wines were found to be in Yuan blue and white jars, and according to the market price, these three Yuan blue and white jars alone are worth more than one million!"

"The most expensive wine in the world has been auctioned for more than $160,000, and our tank has three times the capacity of that wine, but we only have one auction." Intentionally or unintentionally, the auctioneer hooked the three cans of old wine on the table with the wine that had sold for a sky-high price, and this technique obviously raised the status of these three cans of wine.

"The Yuan blue and white jar is counted as 300,000 yuan, and the starting price of a can of liquor is 70 million. The starting price of our 600-year-old liquor is 1 million, and we will divide it into three parts in turn. The first one, one million, starts shooting! The auctioneer announced loudly.

"One million and one million!" Immediately someone shouted.

"One million and two million!" Soon someone shouted again.

"Uncle, what kind of price do you expect to be able to fetch?" Zeng Rong asked.

"It's hard to say that 600-year-old wine is an extremely rare thing in itself, and with the jar of Yuan blue and white, it is already an extremely rare collectible, not only porcelain collectors are willing to sell, but some collectors who like some rare items are also willing to sell."

"Not only that, but think about it, what will be the effect of holding a 600-year-old jar of ancient wine and giving it away? Since ancient times, it has become a common practice in China to give gifts, and it is not considered a bribe to give some cigarettes and alcohol, and this can of wine will have an incalculable effect in the hands of some well-intentioned people! ”

"And among the guests invited by the auctioneer this time, there are also the heads of the three major wineries, and the ancient wine more than 600 years ago was auctioned away by them, which is definitely an excellent opportunity for them to promote themselves, and the advertising effect is immeasurable!"

"Moreover, if their manufacturers have great business acumen, they can completely announce that they have researched the formula of ancient liquor six hundred years ago, developed a new variety, and made a lot of money with the help of the fame of ancient liquor, and the commercial value of this is completely immeasurable!" Uncle analyzed.

"Uncle, why do I think you are quite business-minded, it seems that you are right to come out and do business on your own, the county museum only gives you more than 2,000 yuan a month, it is simply an insult to talents!" The uncle's analysis made Zeng Rong very impressed.

"Actually, this is what Manager Wang analyzed for me." Hearing Zeng Rong's praise, the uncle's face was a little embarrassed.

"Manager Wang?" Zeng Rong asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's Manager Wang of Suntech Auction House, the young man is less than thirty years old, he is very smart, and he has dealt with him a few times before." Uncle said.

"Two million!"

"Two and a half million!" In just a few minutes of conversation between the two, the price has risen by 500,000 steps!

"It's going up so fast!" Zeng Rong said.

Originally, Zeng Rong thought that the Yuan Qinghua jar would be worth millions of dollars, and the wine in it was not worth much, but he would think that it would be the other way around. The price of the Yuan blue and white jar is only more than 200,000 yuan, on the contrary, the ancient wine more than 600 years ago in it has been auctioned for more than 2 million yuan, and the price continues to rise!

"It's still early, those big wineries haven't made a move yet." Uncle's eyes were full of excitement, but more than that, he was eager!

Uncle knows very well that those major distilleries have abundant funds, especially the manufacturers that produce the national liquor Moutai, with a market value of more than 240 billion! In a bear market in the national stock market, it is often reversed to popularity, and if such a manufacturer makes a move, it will definitely bring the price into a higher **!

I'm dizzy, 2,000 part-time workers actually rewarded me with 10,000 starting coins, how can I be embarrassed! Hey, I had to write the book carefully to repay everyone, congratulations to the 2000 boss of the part-time job! Also, it's really not easy to write this book, just for this chapter, I have to check all kinds of antique materials, and I have to pick out strange things. It's some of the stock market again, for the sake of Lanshan being so serious, let's stand up!
