Today's jadeite products are polished by machines. Machine polishing is not only much faster, but also has a good effect, sometimes better than manual polishing. But this piece of material is not small, Xie Bin has a suitable polishing machine at hand, Xie Bin would rather polish by hand. Fortunately, he has the assistance of abilities, and the strength of his own body is also very strong, so the polishing effect is also very good, and it has a natural charm compared to machine polishing.

The machine polishing is quite uniform, but it is less agile than the hand-polished objects. It is said that in the era when there were no polishing machines, the objects polished by those masters were also very exquisite. Just like the national treasures in the Palace Museum, the polishing effect is not comparable to machine polishing.

It's just that few people nowadays are willing to spend so much effort to polish by hand, and this not difficult craft has declined. But speaking of which, this manual polishing is really tiring, with Xie Bin's super arm strength, and with the assistance of his ability, after polishing this large ornament, he is also sore and soft.

Bomei Auction House is not as good as those two or three old auction houses in the country, but it is a real giant in the island city. This auction before the Mid-Autumn Festival did not make a big advertisement in the print media, but I don't know how many brochures were given out to Hiromeran's members. Among them, Xie Bin's jadeite ornament was not printed on the leaflet, but only indicated that it was a hand-carved national treasure-level jadeite ornament.

Well, after Xie Bin read the brochure, he couldn't help blushing a little, he knew very well what level he was. If you say that the ornament is a treasure, Xie Bin will not exaggerate at all, but if you want to say that it is a national treasure, this, this......

In other words, it can be called a national treasure, no matter from which aspect, it is the top, materials, craftsmanship, creative craftsmanship and so on. But Xie Bin's material is a little worse, this is impossible to change, congenital insufficiency, no matter how good Xie Bin's craftsmanship is, it is impossible to turn this piece of material into imperial green jadeite.

Of course, Xie Bin also knows that this is just a small means used by merchants in publicity, at least this publicity is relatively reliable, and it is not a completely groundless exaggeration. According to Li Jingjing, some small auction houses even use some fakes to print on them, boasting that there are no edges, so as to gather popularity, and wait until the auction time to find a trust to auction the fakes back, which not only gathers popularity, but also improves popularity, killing two birds with one stone.

Xie Bin also knows a little about these tricks, but he is just a stall setter, after all, he has never experienced it personally, and at this time it can be regarded as an eye-opener and a long insight. However, what gave Xie Bin a headache was that his future father-in-law arranged a job for Xie Bin to greet guests at the door. Well, Xie Bin took Li Jingjing, every time a guest came, he had to be polite, if it was a heavyweight, Xie Bin would have to send someone to the private room to sit down.

In order to familiarize Xie Bin with the work of the auction house, Xie Bin was dragged over by Li Jingjing two days ago to familiarize himself with the environment and understand what heavyweight guests there are this time. At this time, Xie Bin found out that there were really many rich people, especially some people with unknown reputations. As soon as the future father-in-law explained, Xie Bin saw another world.

Don't compare with the rich, this has always been Xie Bin's motto, but now I really understand what this sentence means, because there are too many rich people in this world, and you can't even imagine it. Not to mention the CEOs of several large enterprises in the island city, Haier and Island City Beer are all well-known figures. And those invisible rich people, the degree of wealth makes Xie Bin a little unbelievable, among them is an old man, it is said that he controls almost two-thirds of the fishing boats and half of the shipyards in the island city, two-thirds of the seafood in the island city has to pass through the hands of others, those cold storage or something are countless, a cough, the seafood market in the island city will be shocked. In addition, there are several high-rise buildings near the sea, all of which are people's property.

Of course, this old man surnamed Zhou was personally sent to the private room by Xie Bin's father-in-law, and he was very polite, and the Haier boss was polite when he saw the old man. This old man's wealth may not be as large as that of some people, and his fame is not great, but the resources in his hands are enough to make many people tremble. This old man, his sphere of influence may be limited to the island city, but in this acre and three points of land, he is definitely a figure who calls for wind and rain.

Although Xie Bin has never experienced such a big scene, his skin is thick enough and his mouth is slippery enough, but nothing went wrong. Even when Xue Yuying and her father arrived, Xie Bin smiled equally enthusiastically, but Director Xue was very surprised to see Xie Bin and Li Jingjing welcoming guests together.

And Li Xiaojun is still with his fiancées Zhang Lu and Chen Minhan, anyway, Li Xiaojun's Xingyu jewelry is also a pivotal large company in the island city jewelry industry, how can such a scene be without their family.

Xie Bin looked at Li Xiaojun, who was arrogant, and sneered in his heart, but he smiled on his face: "Welcome, please come in, please come in!" "In any case, this is not the place to settle grievances, and it is the auction house that is hurting the trouble.

Li Xiaojun snorted coldly, "I'll see if you can carve a flower," and said and took the two girls in.

Xie Bin thought about it, buddy really carved out a few flowers, hum.

After the auction started, Xie Bin and Li Jingjing also found a place to sit and wait for the auction to start. Xie Bin saw the auction for the first time, and he was still a little curious, but he was more concerned about the auction items. This auction is relatively large in the island city, and the guests who come are all heavyweights, and there are even some guests from other places who drive to it. Therefore, this auction item is very good, at least what Xie Bin can understand, he thinks it is very good. Especially a painting of Zhang Daqian, the price reached nearly two million, and then it stopped.

In these years, celebrity calligraphy and painting are very valuable, but to say that they can be worth two million, it is still relatively rare, except for those real superb. Although Zhang Daqian is very famous, his works are generally about hundreds of thousands, and some even tens of thousands. And this painting can be sold for two million, or the result of several people bidding with each other.

In fact, this kind of thing is not unusual, these people are rich and idle, and sometimes they don't fight for anything else, just fight for this bit of face, always thinking of showing their faces or suppressing each other. In the end, it is the auction house and the seller who make the profit.

Looking at the happy buyer, Xie Bin didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his head and continue to watch the auction. The auctioneer is a master who is the ace of the Bomei auction house, and it is said that he is very good. Xie Bin can also feel that the auctioneer's eloquence is very good, and he is very inflammatory, especially he has a very accurate grasp of the audience's emotions.

"The auction below is the auction item No. 036, which is painted by Mr. Xie Bin, a young calligrapher, painter, sculptor and gourmet, and the name is 'Buddha jumping over the wall', I believe you have seen it in the brochure, but the old man still wants to say, this painting is absolutely amazing! Hehe, if you have a restaurant, you might as well take a look, this advertising effect is much better than other poems......"

When Xie Bin heard the auctioneer's words, he looked at Li Jingjing in surprise.

Li Jingjing smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, people just want to create some momentum for you......"

Xie Bin listened, pinched Li Jingjing's little hand, but he was very moved in his heart, no wonder the auctioneer pressed so many titles on his body, calligraphers, painters, and sculptors were barely acceptable, but this gourmet really made Xie Bin blush a little, what kind of gourmet is he? At best, it's just a foodie.

However, the audience still bought it, especially a fat man, who directly shouted the price of 200,000 yuan, which made Xie Bin a little sideways, 200,000 yuan for a painting, this price has even exceeded the calligraphy and paintings of some celebrities.

Li Jingjing said in a low voice: "That's the owner of Ted Hotel, they are famous for making Buddha jumping over the wall, but the taste is not as delicious as your cooking." ”

Xie Bin was sweating, and was thinking about whether to raise the price himself, but saw that Li Jingjing had already shouted "250,000 yuan." "The fat man over there was not to be outdone, and he added it to 300,000, and the two of you went back and forth, and shouted until 700,000.

Xie Bin pulled Li Jingjing's hand, "Forget it, let it be given to him, I'll paint another picture for you when I go home." ”

Li Jingjing shook her head, "That's what you gave me, how can you really sell it?" Besides, this painting is your own, and the auction house is also your own, no matter how high the price is, you don't have to pay a penny, and it can also give you a boost to your reputation, why not? ”

When Xie Bin heard this, he could only shrug his shoulders and watch Li Jingjing bid with the fat man, but the fat man was still sensible, and he shook his head and stopped shouting just over one million, and the painting was happily taken back by Li Jingjing.

Looking at Li Jingjing's rare cute little appearance, Xie Bin's heart was full of pity, stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around her delicate body, smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and was silent.

Li Jingjing also quietly lay in Xie Bin's arms, watching the master auction on the rostrum.

Xie Bin's jade ornament appeared at the end, and the way it appeared was quite tempting, first a short video was played on the big screen, and then carried to the stage by two staff members. The old auctioneer knocked on the table, "Ladies and gentlemen, due to the particularity of this object, interested guests can come to the stage to have a look, and then bid, well, for a limited time of half an hour." ”

In fact, half an hour is enough for these people to read them one by one, after all, the customers of this long auction are the top people in the island city, and the number of people looks like a lot, but in fact, it is not much, there are only about a hundred or so people, and everyone has a good quality and good face, and they will not rush up.

But the effect was really good, and many people even stood there reluctantly for a long time, until half an hour had passed, and then sat back in their seats.

Of course, there is also Li Xiaojun among them, who was originally proud, but after seeing the finished product, he suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant.

Xie Bin saw Li Xiaojun's expression in his eyes, hehe sneered, his mind makes you crazy, do you really think that my brother is a little white face who eats soft rice? Looking at the whispering crowd in the hall, Xie Bin's heart felt a sense of satisfaction, his works can be recognized by so many people, and his efforts these days are not in vain.

"Okay, everyone, this jade lotus pond moonlight ornament, the starting price is 12 million, interested friends can increase the price, each increase shall not be less than 500,000, start now!"

As soon as the old auctioneer's voice fell, Li Jingjing stood up, "Thirteen million!" "Directly added a million!

didn't wait for Li Jingjing to sit down, Box No. 1 bid "Fourteen million,"

"Fifteen million!"

"Fifteen and a half million!"

"Sixteen million!"

……

The price climbed up at Xie Bin's jaw-dropping speed, which made Xie Bin himself a little demented, what about this? In Xie Bin's prediction, this ornament can be sold for 16 million is already very good, but now, how much is this now?
