Chapter 285: Bloody Auction
However, Xu Dong shook his head, not to mention this thing, it is definitely wild, and Xu Dong doesn't want to sell it.
The fat man scratched his head, 10,000 yuan, which is almost today's expenses, this ...... You still don't sell?
The man also smiled: "Little brother, if you think the price is low, I will add another five thousand, how about it?" ”
Even if a soft-shelled turtle is wild, it can be bought for fifteen thousand, although it is not a sky-high price, but it is definitely a high price!
It's just that Xu Dong still shook his head and said: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I don't want to buy this soft-shelled turtle, it's definitely not that I look down on money, and I don't mean to disrespect Uncle Dà, it's really that I have an old mother who is about to come out of the hospital, this soft-shelled turtle, I want to take it back to make up for my old mother!"
As soon as Xu Dong said this, the fat man scratched his head, and suddenly realized that Sang's mother was going to be discharged from the hospital in the next two days, and this old soft-shelled turtle was processed a little, just to make up for his body, this really can't be bought, and he can't sell it for any amount of money.
Originally, soft-shelled turtles can indeed be bought on the market, but they are all from farms, and there is definitely no comparison with this wild old soft-shelled turtle.
The man suddenly smiled faintly and said, "You have this filial piety, which is rare, then I can only wish your mother a speedy recovery...... Hehe......"
Originally, there were still a few people who thought in their hearts that as long as Xu Dong was willing to buy it, even if it was 35,000 yuan, it would not be a big deal, but Xu Dong didn't want a penny, and took the medicine back to honor his mother.
After watching for a while, they were about to disperse.
At this time, the fish drift of the fat man's fishing rod shook violently, and even the fishing rod was pulled out, but fortunately, the fat man was next to him, and quickly stepped on the tail of the fishing rod, and then lifted the fishing rod.
This time, I was really bitten by a big fish! The fat man kept reeling the line, defending the line, and walking the fish, and he was almost busy for half an hour before pulling a big carp with more than a dozen catties to the shore.
The fat man carried this rare big carp and happily asked Xu Dong what to do, Xu Dong unceremoniously took the fish and sent it directly to Zhou Junche's grill.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, if you don't dislike my previous recklessness, I would like to invite everyone to share this fish together." Xu Dong said to the people who were going to buy soft-shelled turtles.
Those people looked at Xu Dong, they all laughed for a while, and then agreed, of course, these people are definitely not aiming at this big carp.
These people feel that Xu Dong handles the relationship between people, is filial, humble, and has a special affinity, which makes these middle-aged people very appreciative.
After eating Xu Dong's grilled fish, everyone cleaned up, and then prepared to go to the auction house, after all, that is the purpose of these people coming here
After returning the fishing rod, Xu Dong deposited the old soft-shelled turtle in the Zài farmhouse, and then followed Li Siyan and went with everyone.
The auction place, not far from the farmhouse, is surrounded by a tall wall, surrounded by a very magnificent farmhouse courtyard, and there are two big men standing at the gate, it seems that they are the security personnel here.
Seeing Xu Dong and the fat man, the two security guards also specially interrogated a few words, but fortunately, Li Siyan explained, and the person who bought the soft-shelled turtle took the lead and said a few good words to Xu Dong and them, and these two were released.
Entering this small courtyard, Xu Dong and the fat man followed the flow of people and directly entered the back hall.
The hall was extremely spacious, with a long table in the middle, and nearly thirty people sat at the edge of the table, which did not look crowded at all.
Xu Dong sat at the bottom of the table with the fat man, Li Siyan, and the three of them, while Zhou Jinlong, the scarface surnamed Wei, and the middle-aged man who was about to buy soft-shelled turtles sat close to the chief.
Led everyone to their seats, a tall and burly, slightly fat, smiling middle-aged man came out of the side door next to the chief.
The man stood in the chief's position, smiling and glancing at the crowd before sitting down.
Xu Dong's eyes made contact with this person, and found that this person's eyes were very sharp, under his gaze, he was like being stripped naked, as if he couldn't hide it at all, which made Xu Dong shudder.
"This person's name is Gao Cheng...... Li Siyan explained to Xu Dong in a low voice: "This Gao Cheng sat in this position, and he also came in for a few months, I remember, it seems to be only three or four months......
At this time, Gao Cheng knocked on the table lightly, and said straightforwardly: "I don't dare to delay everyone's time, now we will immediately conduct an auction......
As soon as Gao Cheng's words fell, a girl immediately brought a wooden lacquer plate covered with red brocade.
Xu Dong took a closer look and found that on the red brocade, there was a light blue treasure, according to Xu Dong's previous experience, this was a very valuable "treasure".
The girl put the lacquer plate in front of Gao Cheng, and then gently uncovered the brocade, and a blue and white porcelain plate with large flowers and leaves on white ground revealed its true face.
Xu Dong really saw it, it was a folded edge of the flower mouth plate, nearly 30 centimeters in diameter, under the fluorescent lamp in the hall, the shape of this plate is simple and distinct, the glaze is a little gray, but the gloss is extremely high, the tire glaze is slightly blue and slightly light blue in the warmth.
Before Gao Cheng could explain, Li Siyan sighed and whispered to Xu Dong: "This is a typical blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty, and it has just been unearthed, alas...... If it had been before, I would ......"
Xu Dong understands Li Siyan's mood, the current Li Siyan, the same heroic courage as everyone else before, no longer exists, there is only one reason, the waist bag is shy, and the waist pole can't stand up, so there is a kind of heroic end, the helplessness of the tiger falling in Pingyang.
Xu Dong Xu Dong smiled, diverted the topic and asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Li Siyan replied: "This is actually very simple, whether it is unearthed or handed down, they will leave some special marks on the mountain, for example, it is unearthed, its glaze layer is thin, irresistibly to be dyed with soil Qin, soil spots, and the older it is, the more the glaze will show the texture of the old-fashioned, treasure light contains ......"
“…… If it is an heirloom, it will be due to the vicissitudes of the world and the touch of the years, and the glaze juice will become more and more moisturized and overflowing; Or because of the use, the glaze of the edges and corners will inevitably appear slight erosion or bumps, as well as the support points and stressed parts, due to wear and scratches, vertical and thin, and attached to the old gas, and, if it is fake, it can be seen from the smooth flatness on this porcelain plate. ”
"Because a very significant feature of blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty is the use of glaze blowing method, the glaze often has the same traces of tears, as well as the same traces of brushing, which makes the smoothness lacking, but the modern production, although the same use of glaze blowing, but the modern advanced machine qì blowing, no matter how the glaze will be smooth and thin, the smoothness is also greatly improved......"
Li Siyan said this is really quite simple, Xu Dong couldn't help but give a thumbs up, as a person who has been a palmer, it is really extraordinary,
Xu Dong nodded, remembering these characteristics, and then asked, "How much can an object like this be worth?" ”
Li Siyan smiled and replied: "Because this kind of Yuan blue and white has been restricted from circulating in the market, so in recent years, Yuan blue and white have been about to be accepted, this is a, Del remembers that one year in the London auction, there was a Yuan Dynasty blue and white jar, at that time the transaction price was more than 20 million pounds, if you include all kinds of expenses, it is about 23 million." ”
The fat man muttered, "Twenty-three million pounds, that's a lot of money." ”
"About 230 million!" Li Siyan said lightly.
More than 200 million! Xu Dong was slightly stunned, and the fat man almost jumped up.
In this way, now this blue and white porcelain plate will cost 50 million to say the least!
Li Siyan smiled and did not answer.
At this time, Gao Cheng said slowly: "The first piece to be auctioned today is the Yuan blue and white folded along the flower mouth plate, the reserve price is 15 million, and the price is 200,000 ...... each."
Xu Dong was taken aback, fifteen million started shooting! With such a low starting price, it is no wonder that Li Siyan and others have no suspicions about this behind-the-scenes master, there are such great benefits in the middle, who will not make money with peace of mind, but have nothing to do to come out and do it.
As soon as Gao Cheng's words fell, Zhou Jinlong and others raised their hands to mark the price.
"Sixteen million ......"
"Sixteen and a half million ......"
"Seventeen million ......"
In the hall, the bidding sound comes and goes, the competition is fierce but not noisy, which is compared with the earth-shattering auction opened by Fang's shop, it is simply a world of difference, here, everyone is just using the voice that others can only hear in the bidding, orderly and try not to affect others, so, here it shows a unique tranquility.
It's just that Xu Dong and the fat man can't help but be a little speechless, although the auction here is much quieter and more orderly than the Fang family's shop, but the smell of blood is stronger and the competition is more fierce.
In less than ten minutes, the auction price of this piece of blue and white in the Yuan Dynasty was pushed up to the price of 65 million!
But at this time, there were only two or three people who were still struggling to bid, Zhou Jinlong, the old man Zhou, the one who wanted to buy the soft-shelled turtle, and the old man with an obscure face.
Xu Dong didn't plan to participate in such an auction, in the final analysis, Xu Dong was actually in a similar situation to Li Siyan and Fat Man, but Cheng Dù was different.
For now, Xu Dong can indeed win this Yuan Qinghua in one go, but from the perspective of doing business, Xu Dong can't do this, and what is auctioned off like this is still right hand in and left hand out, and the profit earned is only the price difference.
But such a national treasure-level object, the price is almost there, people are not stupid, and it is impossible not to ask nothing, just give money at the price you want, so that you can make a good profit.
Up to now, the funds available to Xu Dong are not enough for Xu Dong to act recklessly.
