Chapter 39: Helpfulness
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations!
***********
Looking at the Xiangjiang man's eyes shining, looking at the No. 38 lot, Jin Muchen's heart was about to bloom, it turned out that this was also a second knife that didn't understand fart, a nouveau riche, and he also learned to play antiques.
When browsing before, he also paid attention to those export porcelain, I have to say that those export porcelain, in terms of style, and the pastel pattern on it is indeed very beautiful, and some can even be said to be the best in export porcelain.
And almost 100% of the export porcelain will have a flash of jewelry, which shows that those export porcelain are antiques.
However, there are also a few pieces of porcelain in the past, and there is no jewel flashing, what does this mean?
This shows that these porcelains are not antiques, and may even be imitations and handicrafts of modern times.
According to Jin Muchen's estimates, this should be an export handicraft in recent years, but the workmanship is indeed very beautiful, and the painting style is very beautiful, but because it is not an antique, it is a handicraft, so it should be dozens of pieces, and the price of only 100 yuan is not enough.
Looking at the expression of the Xiangjiang man beside him, his eyes seemed to bulge out, and Jin Muchen felt that he should also stimulate him a few words at this time.
"Humph! I dare to say that others, I haven't taken a picture, some people may have so much money, but it's a pity that they are all wearing it, for fear that others will not know. In fact, in his bones, isn't he just a poor man who likes to pretend to be a nouveau riche? ”
Although the voice was not loud, it could ensure that the Xiangjiang person next to him could hear it, and after speaking, Jin Muchen deliberately twisted his head and made a disdainful expression.
And the people of Xiangjiang who heard his words were so angry that they blushed and had a thick neck, turned their heads and looked at Jin Muchen viciously, and Jin Muchen smiled very disdainfully at this time.
"Are you staring at your eyes so big? Kind of you took a picture of the porcelain plate in front of you? ”
"Decrepit boy? Just open your eyes! ”
This Xiangjiang man almost gritted his teeth and said to Jin Muchen, but Jin Muchen still smiled lightly with disdain, this time it made the Xiangjiang man feel that he was almost angry!
snorted coldly, and as soon as he turned his head, he stared at the porcelain plate on the stage, as if he was determined to win!
Candace didn't know what to do, and glanced at Jin Muchen, but Jin Muchen smiled at her: "Wait, please watch a good show!" ”
Just now, Jin Muchen and the Xiangjiang people spoke in Chinese, and she couldn't understand them, but just by looking at the Xiangjiang people's attitude towards Jin Muchen, she knew that that guy was not a good thing.
There must have been a dirty incident between the two just now, and then think about the squinting eyes of this guy when he looked at himself before, Candace also hated this Xiangjiang man more and more, and then in a blink of an eye, he just saw that guy didn't know if he deliberately exposed a car key with a Mercedes-Benz logo outside a pair of pockets, Candace rolled his eyes.
"Honey, I'll go to the bathroom!"
"Oh! Okay, go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here. ”
Jin Muchen is holding back the fire, and he wants to compete with this Xiangjiang person.
"The next lot No. 38 is a large pastel porcelain plate, 35 cm in diameter, huge in shape, beautiful in appearance, complete in condition, and the pastel pattern on it is even more colorful and colorful, and the picture is a farmer picking fruits, which belongs to the type of ornamental ware that was the favorite of the aristocratic family in the 18th century......"
Josh Bentley above, chattering about this porcelain plate, said it in a good way, and I don't know if he really doesn't know the details of this porcelain plate, and the antique dealers below are also silent one by one.
"Okay, the reserve price of this lot starts at $500, and the price increases by $100 each time, there is no cap, and the auction starts now!"
Josh announced the start of bidding, but the auction was cold for the first time, and many antique dealers did not raise their hands, and it seemed that these people were really real and could detect that there was something wrong with the lot.
And at this time, Jin Muchen suddenly raised his hand, and Josh's eyes lit up.
"Six hundred dollars, well, the gentleman is bidding six hundred dollars! Is there anything in the bidding? ”
Jin Muchen's raise of his hand startled the Xiangjiang man beside him, and turned his head to look at him, Jin Muchen just turned his head and looked at him with a contemptuous smile.
"See, huh? Dressed like an upstart, but just talking about it and not practicing, what to pretend? I don't know how many pho I have fried in Chinatown before I got this outfit? Uncle, don't learn to buy antiques if you don't have money, let's go back and sell your pho obediently! ”
The originally thin neck of this Xiangjiang man suddenly thickened, and his originally scorched face turned red, and then he raised his right hand fiercely.
Seeing this guy biting the hook, Jin Muchen smiled in his heart, but his face did not show it, but he just raised his right hand indifferently again......
Two Asians actually began to bid frantically for this obviously problematic porcelain plate, which made the antique dealers present have a feeling of watching a good show, but there are also some people who are not in sight, and they began to wonder, is this porcelain plate really a good thing?
When the bidding of the two exceeded 1,000 dollars, finally some local antique dealers who were not eyesighted, but in the spirit of killing mistakes and did not let go, began to roll in, and then the herd effect exploded, and some other antique dealers who were originally confident in their eyesight also began to hesitate, and finally joined the warband.
The price of this porcelain plate immediately soared, and soon exceeded 5,000 US dollars.
By the time Candace returned, it had only taken ten minutes for the price of the porcelain plate to soar to $9,000, a high price that finally made those local antique dealers withdraw from the bidding.
is still competing, only Jin Muchen and the Xiangjiang nouveau riche are left.
"Nine thousand one hundred dollars?"
The Xiangjiang nouveau riche shouted again, at this time, he was blushing and thick-necked, glaring at Jin Muchen viciously, eager to eat him in one bite, and Jin Muchen's face was still with a faint disdainful chuckle, he knew that the more he looked like this, the more angry that guy became.
However, at this time, he also estimated in his heart that it was time to stop, because this Xiangjiang nouveau riche had already hesitated to make an offer this time.
"Nine thousand one hundred dollars, is there anything higher?"
Josh was on the stage, looking at Jin Muchen with blank eyes, hoping that he could bid again and raise the price a little higher, but this time, Jin Muchen did not respond.
"Nine thousand one hundred dollars for the first time...... Nine thousand one hundred dollars for the third time, well, this pastel porcelain plate belongs to that Mr. Johnny! ”
Hearing that he had won the bid, this Xiangjiang man seemed to have been directly injected with a shot in the heart, raised his head and chest, and was arrogant, just wanted to turn his head and teach the northern guy two sentences, pretending to be b in front of him, but this time he turned his head and found that the kid was actually gone.
Made, you won't let me pretend to be b? This victory is not perfect!
But the auction that followed quickly made everyone present forget the little episode just now.
The last blue and white porcelain bowl was also auctioned out, but what failed to win was gritting teeth, and the successful acquisition was the bullet crown celebration.
These antique dealers each took their loot today and said goodbye to the owner and left the villa, but in Jin Muchen's opinion, the biggest winner of today's small auction is probably the smiling Josh standing in front of the stage. Bentley too.
Jin Muchen didn't make a careful calculation, but in the small auction just now, he estimated that this guy had at least auctioned out an antique worth a million dollars, even if he deducted part of the tax and divided it equally with several brothers and sisters, he would definitely be able to leave a lot of money in his pocket.
"Thank you for your participation, Mr. Kim, especially for that bid, although you didn't get the lot you wanted, but thank you anyway."
Josh, who was in a happy mood, happened to see Jin Muchen and Candace walking at the back of the crowd, so he came over to say hello and asked, after all, these two are friends of the Spart family next door, and they should not be neglected.
What's more, this kid also did himself a big favor, such a fake that he had found someone to appraise actually sold for such a price, but it was all up to this kid to help muddy the water.
As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Jin Muchen, and when Jin Muchen saw his expression, he knew that this Mr. Josh was not honest, but people signaled to him and received his affection.
"Oh, it's nothing, Mr. Bentley, those things are very good, but as you can tell, we are poor students and don't have much money on us. Originally, I thought it would be an ordinary garage sale, so I came to take a look, but it wasn't like that, but it also opened our eyes and got to know a lot of new things. ”
Jin Muchen replied with a smile, and as soon as Josh heard this, he immediately felt that this young man was very honest, he liked such a humble and 'helpful' young man.
He walked over and patted Jin Muchen on the shoulder: "Don't worry, young man, as long as you are willing to study and work hard, one day in the future, you can afford such things." Let's go, I'll go out with you! ”
As he spoke, he accompanied Jin Muchen and Candace to chat and walked out of the door, at this time the sun was already setting outside, his garage sale was a complete success, and it was time for the villa to close.
But as he reached the door, Mr. Bentley seemed to suddenly remember something.
"By the way, Mr. Kim, I still have some things here, maybe you will be interested. These things are some second-hand goods that have not been used for a long time, and they should be suitable for ordinary garage sales, if you are interested, you may wish to come and have a look. If you don't want it, I can only throw away those things as garbage, but there are still some things in it that can be used. ”
Jin Muchen turned to look at Bentley, his gaze was very sincere, and he didn't mean to mock almsgiving, it seems that people really have some second-hand old goods that they want to deal with.
