Chapter VIII Private Auctions
Chapter VIII Private Auctions
After eating this meal for nearly an hour, Xu Qing can be regarded as seeing the life of rich people, but his heart is unusually calm, this kind of drunken life is not what he is pursuing, and being able to successfully enter a favorite university is the current problem to think about.
"Dude, there's a small antique auction upstairs later, I heard that there are a few interesting old objects, let's go up and have a look." Tang Dashao felt that this meal was extraordinarily fragrant, so he invited Xu Qing to participate in the after-dinner program.
This time, Tang Dashao's purpose in calling Wu Lao together was not only to identify the 'Ten Thousand Years Elephant', but also to ask him to help him find objects from this auction.
"Okay, let's go and have a good time." Before Xu Qing responded, Liu Fatzi on the side had already taken the lead and responded with a full mouth, this so-called small auction is a private transaction, and the auctioned objects also belong to private collections, the authenticity is all based on antique appraisal experience, even if you accidentally hit your eyes, you can only blame yourself for not seeing enough, usually rich people like to find a stimulus, this kind of auction is catering to this mentality.
To be honest, Xu Qing didn't sleep all night, and now he just wants to find a big bed to make up for his sleep, and he is not interested in what antique auctions, but Liu Fatzi has already answered, and he can only nod and agree, and he will find a chair to find Zhou Gong to play chess later.
Tang Guobin was in high spirits, took out a gold card and asked him to settle the bill at the door, and led the three of them to take the elevator to the top floor.
At the top of the stairs stood four tall guards in camouflage uniforms, each wearing a headset, exuding a fierce air from top to bottom, and he didn't show too much enthusiasm when he saw Tang Guobin coming up with someone, but just nodded slightly.
Tang Guobin smiled slightly, led the three of them directly into a room in the corridor, and found that this was a spacious hall, with an area of at least two hundred square meters, with a simple and solemn decoration, five rows of mahogany chairs with coffee tables placed horizontally, and a marble platform covered with red flannel cloth in the center of the hall was particularly conspicuous.
At first glance, it made Xu Qing's heart swell with a familiar feeling, isn't this just like the school conference room before? Of course, the auditorium could not afford mahogany tables and chairs.
There were already more than 20 people sitting in the hall, most of them were middle-aged people, and there were also a few old men with gray temples, all of whom were well-dressed, and they knew at a glance that they were successful people with a lot of gold and weight, and the youngest were Tang Dashao.
Everyone only glanced at Tang Dashao intentionally or unintentionally when they saw someone coming in, but when the old men saw Wu Lao, they all nodded in agreement.
Before the auction began, the four of them found a position at the back of the row and sat down, and the two beautiful and generous cheongsam waiters standing on the side brought a few cups of fragrant tea at the right time, and before they had time to chat a few words, they saw the door open, and six security guards in camouflage uniforms carried three large wooden boxes into the room, and at the end was a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe, who looked a little similar to Wu Lao.
"This is Xiao Gongyun, the boss of Gu Yun Zhai, a famous brother in the Jiangcheng antique world, invite him to preside over an auction at least 100,000 oceans......" Tang Dashao deliberately sat next to Xu Qing and introduced the man's name in a low voice.
Xu Qing yawned and nodded, looking interested, fortunately, the tea here has a refreshing effect, otherwise he would have dozed off as soon as he sat down. He doesn't think that this kind of game played by rich people has anything to do with him, to put it bluntly, it's a dozen soy sauce.
Xiao Gongyun smiled and walked to the mahogany platform to stand still, bowed his hand to everyone present, and said loudly: "Thank you for appreciating the light, don't gossip, use a word on the road, see the real chapter under your hand, look at the guy." ”
After speaking, he bent down and opened a wooden box, took out a blue and white porcelain bottle from it, straightened up and put it on the table, this bottle is about fifteen centimeters high, the bottom is narrow and wide, and it gradually closes to the bottleneck, and the appearance is somewhat similar to the net bottle held in the hand of Buddhist Guanyin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Xiao used this Song Qing white glazed net bottle to throw bricks and attract jade, this object was brought back by Mr. Tang Zhenggang from Quyang, Hebei Province in 09, and he dared to use it to make an opening statement today."
After speaking, Xiao Gongyun picked up the net bottle with one hand and slammed it into the corner behind him, ...... The bottle suddenly split apart and shattered into a piece of porcelain.
Everyone was in an uproar, and they all turned their eyes to Tang Dashao who was sitting in the back row, and they all knew that Tang Zhenggang was the father of this goods.
Tang Dashao smiled disapprehantly, took a sip of the teacup, and said in a voice that only people around him could hear: "Paralyzed, I spent 600,000 yuan to buy something, and my brother finally came to listen to it......"
Xu Qing was also awakened a little sleepy by this startled move, and looked at Tang Dashao beside him with a puzzled expression, he couldn't figure out why a good thing was smashed in front of everyone, 600,000, is it enough to support it?
Tang Dashao blinked and said in a low voice: "This object is fake, my stupid father paid the tuition fee at the beginning, and now he takes it out to make a gimmick." ”
Hearing him say this, Xu Qing finally understood a little, and said in his heart, daring to love is just a trick, leading people to drill into it.
In fact, Xu Qing thought about it, Xiao Gongyun did this for a total of two purposes, one of course was to attract everyone's attention in the fastest way, and the other also showed that if he found a fake at the auction, he could only say that he did not have enough eyesight and was no one else.
It is undeniable that Xiao Gongyun's hand is very effective, and everyone's attention in the hall is focused on him, only to see him unhurriedly put on a pair of white gloves, and bent down to take out a blue and white glazed porcelain bowl with a plum petal-shaped edge from the box and gently place it in the center of the table.
"The Song Qing white glazed net bottle just now is a fake, Boss Tang specially called his young master to listen to the sound, this strength Xiao has done it, I don't know if Tang Dashao is brittle when he hears it?"
Xiao said this sentence slowly and reasonably, and set his eyes on Tang Guobin.
"Crunch, crunchy!" Tang Dashao's neck stiffened, and he answered loudly, many people laughed dumbly, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became relaxed again.
