Chapter 518: Stunned

Although Jin Muchen was unwilling, he could only follow the rules of others and obediently come to the stage.

At this time, the bidders who returned to the audience obediently did it according to the brand they got, and waited for the auction to begin.

Everyone's eyes were eager to try, obviously they already had their own optimistic things, although Jin Muchen didn't know what these guys had taken a look at.

But he probably guessed that most of these guys, he estimated that their attention should be on the coffin unearthed from the ancient tomb.

After all, that thing can already be called an antique just by the coffin, and more importantly, this coffin also has a very big gamble.

Spend money to buy it, and then open it, maybe you can find ten times or even twenty times the return from inside, and even if they don't find what they want in it, it won't be much to lose them.

After all, most of the people who can participate in such auctions are the kind that have a lot of money, and money is just a symbol for them.

Soon the auction officially began, and when it got to the point, what was picked up by a few staff members was something to warm up.

For example, some jade pendants made of Hetian white jade in the Ming and Qing dynasties, these things are all things with wide open doors, and the workmanship is exquisite, and the price is between hundreds of thousands and millions.

Such things can be said to be the best for antique lovers of hanging silk, and the price is not something they can afford, but for these rich people present, it is nothing at all.

Buying it back for fun is about the same cost as eating a meal for them.

Because they are all things that are wide open, these guys, none of them are soft, and they are soon taken in by a few people.

The one who took down these things. They were all elated, and they were not very unhappy when they missed, after all, everyone knew that these things were just a hot thing. The finale is good, but it's still to come.

Next is the appearance of several terracotta figurines unearthed from the ancient tombs, these terracotta figurines of boys and girls, and some pottery horse statues, which were very popular as soon as they appeared.

Most of the people who shot were Westerners, and not only Jin Muchen didn't like such tomb items, but most Chinese collectors didn't like them very much, after all, these were the owners of those tombs and planned to take them to the underworld. The meaning of being a cow and a horse for yourself is not particularly good.

Therefore, in the eyes of Chinese collectors, this thing has no collection value, and even buying it back will bring bad luck to the family.

But the Westerners were different, they didn't care if it was a burial object or not, and in their opinion, the pottery was beautifully made. Definitely a rare collector's item.

You must know these guys, but even the mummies of other pharaohs like to make a few of them at home. Not only do you not feel bad luck for yourself, but you think that this thing will bring you luck.

Even the brains of the American Indians back then, they liked to collect a few, and their cold appetite was not comparable to that of Chinese collectors.

Looking at those Western collectors, I was very happy to grab those pottery figurines. Jin Muchen was also stunned when he watched it offstage, this is probably the cultural difference that people often talk about, he thought to himself offstage.

Soon, those terracotta figurines each had a master.

Then those few Red Mountain Ancient Jades were brought up, and at this time, Jin Muchen was ready to prepare. It was something he had been optimistic about early on.

And he was optimistic about it before, not many people paid attention to this thing, and there must be not many people who liked it and recognized it, so this is a rare opportunity to pick up the leaks.

Sure enough, just looking at the way a few pieces of ancient jade appeared, Jin Muchen knew that he had picked it up.

You must know that even the previous pieces of mutton fat white jade in the Ming and Qing dynasties were all taken up one by one and auctioned separately.

But when it was the turn of the Red Mountain Ancient Jade, a staff member came over there, and he took the three ancient jades at one time, and put them on the booth in front of him with such a big grin, without any careful and meticulous expression.

Obviously, the organizer is not sure whether these pieces of Hongshan ancient jade are real or fake, so they will treat them with such an attitude.

If they wanted to know that these pieces of ancient jade were genuine, I am afraid they would not treat them so aggressively.

After all, a few years ago, the market was once a fake Hongshan ancient jade rampant, in those years there were a lot of people, the threshold for counterfeiting this thing is too low, even if it is an experienced appraiser, in the face of that gang of counterfeiters, when there are endless counterfeiting methods, it is inevitable to suffer losses.

In addition, domestic archaeological experts have publicly said that there are not so many ancient jade in Hongshan that have been passed down to the present, and we have only found a total of about 200 pieces in the country so far, and most of the rest have been smuggled overseas before liberation.

So now, if you can still find a lot of Hongshan Ancient Jade, do you really think this thing is Chinese cabbage?

It is precisely because of the remarks of those archaeological authorities in China that the enthusiasm of collectors in the market for the collection of Hongshan ancient jade has been greatly reduced.

At this time, the organizer did not care about these pieces of Hongshan ancient jade, and the group of bidders in the audience also had the same attitude towards these pieces of Hongshan ancient jade.

The fact that these guys can come to this underground auction shows that they usually have a certain amount of knowledge in antique appraisal, so they have heard a lot of rumors about this red mountain ancient jade in the market.

Although they have a lot of money and burn in a panic, but few of them are idle and panicked, and they like to spend a lot of money to buy a few pieces of Hongshan Ancient Jade to play, after all, spending some money is nothing to them, but the key is that they can't stand it, and it's embarrassing for this matter to spread out.

For their gang, money is far less important than face.

“…… The three pieces of Hongshan ancient jade, are all high-quality products in Hongshan culture, they are the earliest jade carving dragon in our Chinese culture, jade pig dragon, and the representative work of typical Hongshan ancient jade, Yungou jade, everyone looks at a few pieces of ancient jade, the jade is oily, and the carving is exquisite......"

The auctioneer on the stage was talking endlessly, foaming at the mouth to introduce those pieces of ancient jade, but when these words came out, I am afraid that even he himself didn't believe it, anyway, the speed of speech was quite fast, and even a little impatient.

And the bidders in the audience are even looking around at this time, and some are even talking to each other, obviously not many people take the introduction of the auctioneer to heart.

The only person who is listening attentively is probably Jin Muchen.

Finally, when the auctioneer finished his ramblings, he also announced the offer for these pieces of Red Mountain Ancient Jade.

"In order to give back, many friends from afar, our boss decided to package these pieces of Hongshan ancient jade, and the starting price of the three pieces of ancient jade is positioned at 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and each time the price is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars......"

When the auctioneer quoted such a reserve price, even he himself was a little lacking in confidence, and the bidders in the audience were even more disapproving.

Cut! Everyone has heard of the Red Mountain Ancient Jade, if you dare to guarantee that the Red Mountain Ancient Jade on your stage is genuine, do you dare to hold such a low starting price? Unless you're brain-teasing!

You must know that in 1996, there was a special auction of ancient jade in Beijing, and the bid of that special session was a Hongshan ancient jade carving dragon, and the redwood jade carving dragon was auctioned at a high price of more than 2 million that year.

If these Hongshan ancient jades on your stage are genuine, will you ask for three packages with a starting price of 500,000?

Unless your brain has been trampled by a donkey, but now you're quoting like that, what does that mean?

This shows that your organizers themselves have insufficient confidence in these pieces of ancient jade, you are all underconfident, and you still expect us to make a move, are you treating us as fools?

The auctioneer said that his eyebrows were dancing and his mouth was foaming, but the bidders in the audience were looking around one by one, and even a few were chatting, and no one was looking at the few ancient jades on the table at all.

At this time, everyone even wished for these pieces of red mountain jade, so they hurriedly auctioned it and took it down, but don't continue to waste everyone's time here and get in the way.

We are all busy people, and every minute is hundreds of thousands, how can we waste time on such fakes?

The auctioneer called the bid three times in a row, but when he saw that the bidders below were very few, and there were no people who were even willing to look up at a few pieces of Hongshan Ancient Jade, he was also a little bit of kinship in his heart, Made, it seems that these pieces of garbage are going to be smashed in their hands this time, and this is related to their own bonuses.

Seeing that he was about to drop the hammer and announce the unsuccessful auction, suddenly someone in the audience shouted: "500,000!" ”

The auctioneer's eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly swept to the stage with a bright eye, and saw the No. 98 card held high in the audience at a glance.

"Mr. Ninety-Eight bid 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, is there any bidder? There are no bidders, it's 500,000 for the first time...... The third time, the deal! These three pieces of Red Mountain Ancient Jade belong to Mr. Ninety-Eight, congratulations to you, ......"

At this time, Jin Muchen didn't pay attention to what he said at all, he paid attention to the pieces of ancient jade, which were being packaged by several employees and taken down the stage, and after the auction was over, those pieces of ancient jade would belong to him.

And at this time, the other people also focused their attention on him, looking at his eyes, as if they were looking at a fool, after all, everyone was not sure about those pieces of Red Mountain Ancient Jade.

Generally, when such an uncertain situation occurs, everyone is reluctant to make a move, but where did this come out of a stunned young man?

That thing, everyone is not optimistic, but this stunned young man actually took that thing down, could this guy have a problem with his brain? Or is it just a second lord with a lot of money and nowhere to spend? (To be continued......)
