They arrived at Roumi City before it got dark, but instead of going directly to the address Jerry had told them, they found a small restaurant to fill their stomachs.

Then Jesse found a second-hand clothing store, and both of them bought some clothes, because they were disposable, so they didn't need to prepare too well, and the two chose two sets of pullover sportswear, which was more convenient to conceal the image.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that they came out of the hotel where they were staying, and then went straight to the address Jerry had told them.

It was a warehouse in an abandoned industrial area, and when they went, it was already full of vehicles from all over the United States, apparently Chinese antiques enthusiasts or owners of antique shops.

There are a lot of windy sentinels on the periphery, they have gone through several rounds of inspections along the way, but fortunately, Jerry is a frequent visitor here, and he has already said hello to the organizers here, so Jin Muchen and Jesse can enter this warehouse all the way safe and sound.

Parked in front of the warehouse, the two got out of the car, came to the door, and went through another 'security check', and the two big men searched the two of them.

Jin Muchen didn't think there was anything for himself, but when he saw one of the guys, touching Jesse with a face full of @squint @squint, he was very angry, but Jesse could see it, maybe she had experienced a lot of such a scene, and she didn't care at all.

After going through the 'security check', the two entered the warehouse with only a leather bag full of cash.

The inside of the warehouse is not as dark as expected. Several high-powered energy-saving lamps overhead. Shine a light on this place.

When they come in. There were already a lot of people here, and at this time these guys were gathered in front of a small high platform, and that small high platform was full of lots ready to be auctioned tonight.

Just like some of the underground auctions that Jin Muchen has been to before, the procedure here is quite formal, and before the auction, the participants will be asked to carefully inspect the lots, which is a means for the organizer to prove his innocence. Indicates that they are not cheating.

On the other hand, it is also necessary to let these participants see the things here, so that everyone can be prepared, if you are interested in that thing, then remember it, and don't forget to spend money when the shooting starts.

Jin Muchen followed behind Jesse and squeezed to the front of the booth, looking at the things on the booth.

There are a lot of 'exhibits' on the table, and they are 100% antiques from China. Some can even smell the earthy smell, and I don't know if the organizers deliberately kept it.

These exhibits are just about their condition. It's definitely not comparable to the pieces in antique shops or museums, after all, they haven't been treated much, and some of them have a lot of dirt on them.

People are here to tell you that these are genuine products that have just been unearthed.

There are more than 30 exhibits on the table, and Jin Muchen and Jesse look at them one by one, and at this time, they are quite eye-catching.

Because of the tight schedule, the organizer only gives everyone 30 minutes to review these things, and if you don't have enough skills, it is very likely that you will be tricked in this link.

Because of such an underground auction, don't look at where the organizer pretends to show his innocence, he is telling the participants that what I auction here is all genuine, and they are all treasures that were 'unearthed' in Chinese mainland not long ago.

But if you really believe in them, then you lose!

The things placed on this table can be said to be mixed, and some of them are indeed true, but most of them are fake.

Even if China is an ancient civilization of 5,000 years, even if there are countless treasures buried under China's territory, after so many years of digging and robbing tombs, most of those treasures have actually been dug up.

Even if there are treasures under the ground, there are not many left, and there are many of them, which are not so easy to find at all.

So how can these guys be able to make so many high-quality products every time? And even if there are fine works, most of them have been taken away by those big museums or powerful collectors before they were brought here, and most of the ones that are brought here for auction can be said to be low-end goods.

Jin Muchen took Jesse around the stage, and probably already had a score in his heart, there were a total of thirty-eight exhibits on the table, and he was sure that thirty of them were fake.

Especially those porcelain, although they look dirty, very old, no matter how you look at them, they are antiques of age, but his eyes tell him that most of those things are actually specially processed and aged fakes.

However, the methods of counterfeiting these things are very clever, even if you are an expert in Chinese antiques, if you are not proficient in learning, or if you are sloppy, you may be eyed here.

Let's just say Jin Muchen, if he doesn't have a pair of eyes that can see through the jewels, then tonight's underground auction, with his understanding of antiques, he will definitely be blinded and cheated.

Jin Muchen looked around, had a score in his heart, and then pulled Jesse to the back.

The other antique dealers, or enthusiasts, were still crowded in front of the stage at this time, either holding a strong flashlight or a magnifying glass, and were watching one by one.

Of course, they also know that there is a mixture of fish and dragons, but this also can't stop their enthusiasm for picking up leaks.

From these things, if you can pick out the real thing and take it back, then they are worth it.

Soon the organizer announced that it was time for the visit, everyone had to return to their positions, take their own number plates, and the auction would start soon.

The participants swarmed back, and on the simple iron stools behind them, the numbers were all pasted on the chairs, and there were number plates of the same size on the chairs, and after sitting down, they were all waiting for the auction to begin.

Soon a guy who looked like an auctioneer came to the front of the stage, this guy looked like a mixed race, and he spoke very quickly, and he really had the style of a professional auctioneer.

The first lot, no, it should be said that it is a set of lots, that is, four black terracotta figurines, these terracotta figurines, Jin Muchen has also looked carefully before, they are all the appearance of boys and girls, if you don't look away, these terracotta figurines should be genuine, they are terracotta figurines in the Western Han Dynasty.

Of course, it is not for the living, but for the dead to put in the tomb.

Jin Muchen has been playing antiques for a while, and he has been in contact with a lot of such funeral goods, and he has seen a lot of high-end ones.

By now, he has cultivated his own unique opinions and preferences for Chinese antiques, and it can be said that he likes almost 99% of them, except for one thing, which is tomb goods.

No matter how precious that thing is, as long as it is considered that it is buried with the dead, unless it is an extremely precious kind, ordinary thing, he will not look down on it.

Not only because this thing was something from someone's ancestral grave, but on the other hand, it was also because he felt a pang of his heart when he thought that these things had been buried under the ground with the dead for thousands of years.

Of course, the foreign devils in the West don't shy away from it at all, and they don't make any mistakes.

Think about it, they can even take back the mummies of other Egyptians and put them in their own homes for offerings, just this tooth mouth, so Jin Muchen has to admire, other people's tolerance ......

These terracotta figurines from the Western Han Dynasty are one of the few treasures in the auction, and others can also understand it, so they caused a scramble as soon as they came up.

The four figurines, each of which started at $6,000, were soon raised to $8,000 and eventually to $15,000.

Such fierce competition made Jin Muchen dumbfounded, it seems that these foreign devils have a true love for our Chinese antiques, otherwise how could they be so willing to bid for such an ordinary few tomb items?

Of course, this price seems quite high, but it is also a bit difficult for Chinese to accept.

These terracotta figurines, to the country, it is estimated that not many lovers are willing to sell, after all, most of the domestic Tibetan friends, are quite shy of these things, if it is ancient jade or something funeral goods, they are good to accept, but this terracotta figurines ...... According to our culture, this is a feminine thing, and if you go home with a bad one, it will bring bad things.

But although the artistic value of this thing is not high, his archaeological value is very high, after all, the terracotta figurines can be used to accompany the burial, in the Western Han Dynasty, they are not ordinary people, which shows that the owner of the tomb is alive, but has a considerable social status, so archaeologists can like such things very much.

In their eyes, this thing is a priceless national treasure, but on the other side of the ocean, they were finally bought by an American fat man at the price of 15,000 US dollars each, and they don't know how they will feel when they know about it.

The next auction is a few pieces of Chinese porcelain, the organizer introduced, these are unearthed in the ancient tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are the fine products of the folk kilns at that time, and some are even blue and white porcelain.

The foreigners grabbed it very enthusiastically, but Jin Muchen didn't make a move, because he knew at a glance that those few things were fake, and they were made of modern craftsmanship.

However, since these foreigners are willing to pay for these fakes, it is not bad, and even a few times, he deliberately helped the organizer raise the price a few times before the hammer was about to fall, and raised the final transaction price again.

He gave it to others for free, and I don't know if the people from the organizer will appreciate it after they know it, but those guys who competed with him and spent a lot of unjust money in the end hated him so much that they gritted their teeth.

Jin Muchen didn't care, he was just happy that these guys had spent a lot of unjust money, don't you like Chinese antiques, hehe, then don't mind paying more tuition! (To be continued......)
