Chapter 78: Bidding

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations!

**************

It's relieved to think about it, look at the appraisal company that Phil found that signed behind the appraisal, it was simply an unpopular appraisal company that I had never heard of.

Looking at Phil, if he really knew how to do it, as long as he was willing to spend some money and get an appraiser from an appraisal company like Sotheby's or Christie's, then he would definitely not be here.

As far as the snuff bottles in his collection are concerned, the modern handicrafts on them are not counted, let's just say the four that Jin Muchen has just seen below.

Take any one out, and the price will not be less than one million if it is auctioned.

The amber snuff bottle with the Qianlong imperial theme, as long as it is auctioned, Jin Muchen estimates that the price will not be less than one million yuan at least.

Not to mention the other two pieces from the Qianlong period, a black set of cowpea red glass camellia pattern snuff bottles, and a white set of blue glass tire enamel color bamboo magpie picture snuff bottles, any one of which can easily fetch a price of millions.

As for the ancestor of the last snuff bottle, the blue and white cucumber bat snuff bottle, if you don't miscalculate, it will be even more terrible, it should be the treasure of the Kangxi year, and this one alone will cost more than 10 million yuan.

So seeing this, Jin Muchen knew that this Phil was completely a half-bucket of water, two knives, at best, he was a master of Ye Gong Haolong, in the eyes of outsiders, he seemed to like these snuffboxes very much, but it was a pity that his research on this snuff box was one scale and half a claw.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be such a blind eye, and there was a bright baby under his nose, but he turned a blind eye.

However, Jin Muchen thought about it, but he was happy in his heart, thanks to these two knives and half a bucket of water, otherwise he would not have been able to see such a treasure in such a bazaar!

The auction began, and some of the people who were interested in these snuff bottles began to put their prices on the blackboard.

It can be seen that these snuff bottles should be quite popular, and collectors in the United States really like them, and in just a few minutes, no less than ten people have marked their prices on the blackboard.

However, their bids are not very high, and each bid is only a hundred to two hundred dollars higher than the previous bid.

In Jin Muchen's opinion, most of these guys regard these snuff bottles as exquisite small handicrafts with some historical value, so they will give such an offer.

If they really knew, then I'm afraid they wouldn't have made such an offer at all.

Soon the offer was pushed up to $105,000, and the onlookers hesitated, while Phil looked calm and couldn't tell what the old man was thinking.

However, half a minute has passed since the last offer, and if no one offers in thirty seconds, the snuffbox will probably be sold at this price.

Of course, Jin Muchen would not agree, he pushed away the crowd and walked over, directly marking the price of 110,000 US dollars at the bottom.

The price was raised by $5,000 at once, which was much more ruthless than the previous bid of 1,200, and it also showed his attitude towards the batch of snuffboxes.

There was a burst of exclamations from everyone present, but because it was a silent auction, everyone was surprised by the boldness of the Asian American, but no one opened their mouths to talk about it.

But apparently someone didn't want Jin Muchen to take these snuff bottles away so simply, so a few more people began to come up and write new quotations under his price.

Jin Muchen didn't say anything, just looked at the few bidders, one of them was a balding middle-aged white man, his offer was five hundred dollars more than Jin Muchen's, which showed that he wanted to compete, but his financial resources were limited.

The other was a wrinkled white old man, who was much more daring, adding another two thousand dollars to the bald white man's offer, which was a relatively favorable contender.

As for the other ones who added one or two hundred, Jin Muchen didn't even look at it, and what caught his attention the most was an Asian like him who came out of nowhere.

This guy is of medium stature, with a pair of gold-wire glasses, and the appearance of a polite white-faced scholar, his quotation technique is similar to Jin Muchen, and he directly added 5,000 to the quotation of those people, and pushed the quotation to 120,000 US dollars at once.

After writing the quote, this guy stood aside with his arms in his arms, looking at Jin Muchen with a sneer on his face.

Seeing him smile like this, Jin Muchen felt very uncomfortable, he didn't know him, and he didn't offend him, could he be so hostile to himself?

But do you think you're going to hang it?

Jin Muchen pursed his lips and directly stepped forward to raise the offer to $130,000, which was twice as high as the last offer.

Such an offer immediately made the people around him explode, he could hear the sound of many people gasping for air, and even many people were muttering to themselves after seeing his offer: "This guy is crazy!" ”

And the reason why Jin Muchen made such an offer was also for a purpose, which was to squeeze out those guys who had no strength and wanted to fish in troubled waters.

And when he saw his offer, Phil, who had been sitting behind the desk with a calm face, also widened his eyes, obviously such an offer was something he hadn't thought of before.

The Asian who looked like a white-faced scholar saw Jin Muchen directly raise his offer by $10,000, and his face changed, and he glared at Jin Muchen fiercely, then gritted his teeth and stepped forward to raise the price to $135,000.

After putting down the pen, he returned to the pile of people and continued to stare at Jin Muchen viciously.

This guy's attitude really made Jin Muchen very unhappy, he walked quickly to the blackboard, and this time he directly raised the price to 150,000 US dollars.

The price increase is increasing by 5,000, and this time someone finally couldn't help it and began to talk quietly.

"Made, this guy is crazy......"

"Nonsense George, you don't look at it, this guy is a Chinese."

"Fuck off, Stan, how do you know he's Chinese?"

"Humph! You still don't believe that you are an idiot, and you don't want to think about it, now besides the Chinese, who else will shoot so generously against these rags? ”

"Well, it's also said that these snuff bottles, the appraisal company gave an estimate of 80,000, and he is now about to double the bid, so the fool who spends money seems to be only willing to Chinese."

The people around were talking a lot at this time, and some people even wanted the scene to look better, hoping that the other white-faced scholar would quote again, and then fight a price war with Jin Muchen.

You must know that at the silent auction site of such a wild road sub-market, if a batch of things with a price of more than 200,000 yuan can be auctioned, it will definitely be a sensational news.

The usual silent auction here is generally based on hundreds to thousands of yuan, and there are many tens of thousands of yuan, but there are not many tens of thousands, and it can even be said that it is rare to see in a few years.

This time everyone caught up, who doesn't want to take a good look at the excitement?

Jin Muchen turned a deaf ear to the discussion of these guys, anyway, now he has money, and there are still more than one million in those bank accounts in Western Europe.

Spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to get these snuffboxes is a suitable choice for him, and he has time to entangle with the guy opposite.

At this time, the guy on the other side was panting and staring at Jin Muchen, he obviously didn't expect to meet such a difficult guy as Jin Muchen here.

He was very unconvinced, but if he wanted to step forward to quote, he was a little hesitant, after all, the price of 150,000 yuan was not low, and the guy opposite, just looking at the posture, knew that he must be a nouveau riche from the mainland.

"Chen Sang, what's going on?"

A few dwarfs suddenly crowded in from outside the crowd and asked in front of the white-faced scholar.

As soon as he heard the words of those guys, Jin Muchen knew that these guys were a group of Japanese, and he also knew this white-faced scholar, and when he heard them shouting the name of the white-faced scholar, this guy seemed to be a Chinese.

These Japanese are not very tall, but they are not young, they are probably in their forties, some wear glasses, and some have sleek merchant faces.

There was a lot of chatter around the white-faced scholar, and when the white-faced scholar was facing this Japanese, he lost the momentum he had when he looked at Jin Muchen just now, just nodded vigorously, like a pug.

After only listening to a few words from them, Jin Muchen knew that this guy surnamed Chen turned out to be the translator of these Japanese, and the Japanese were just buying something at the other end of the market, but this guy came here to bid.

The Japanese had taken a fancy to a few good things and were trying to bargain with the seller, but suddenly found that the translator around him was missing, so he looked all the way to it, and he was very annoyed after finding it.

In the end, the translator surnamed Chen nodded and followed the Japanese, and his offer of 150,000 yuan, no one dared to challenge it anymore.

After waiting for a minute, the white-bearded old man Phil stood up laughing, stretched out his hand and shook Jin Muchen hard.

"Congratulations, Mr. Kim, these treasures are yours now!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Phil, you must be quite satisfied with my price, right?"

"Haha, of course satisfied, thank you, Mr. Jin, you can be regarded as a great help to me!"

And Jin Muchen didn't reply this time, but just said in his heart, thank you very much, you have also helped me a lot.

The treasure that has been collected for more than 30 years was finally sold by him at a tattered price, to be honest, Jin Muchen really wanted to see this Phil's expression after knowing the true value of these snuff bottles!
