Private auctions? Zhou Ming was a little puzzled, but seeing that Feng Junshan was so excited, he knew that this matter should not be encountered very often. Thinking about it this way, it's good to go and take a look, the price of the things at the auction is high, he can't afford to take a look, it can be regarded as a rising insight, after all, without Feng Junshan, an old driver, to lead the way, he will definitely not have the opportunity to see these scenes.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming nodded, "Okay, idle is idle, go." ”

Feng Junshan smiled, turned the head of the car and went directly to the west, the speed was very fast, and after passing through the city, he got on the sea-crossing bridge.

Looking out of the car window at the sea view on both sides of the bridge, Zhou Ming wondered, could this so-called private auction not work on the West Coast?

The geographical location of Qingshi is relatively special, there is a huge bay in the middle of the small city, the east side of the bay is the main urban area, and the west side is an old county district. In the past, if you wanted to get from the main city to the west coast, you had to take either a boat or a car, which took a long time. It's much better now, there are cross-sea bridges and undersea tunnels, and it's very convenient to drive yourself or take a bus.

In the past, Zhou Ming also went to the old county district on the west coast, which used to be a county-level city, but recently it seems to have been changed to the district level, officially becoming one of the seven major districts of Qingshi, and it is said that the construction is also very good.

Sure enough, after coming down from the cross-sea bridge, I found that the environment here is very good, the population is not as dense as the urban area of Qingshi, there are not many high-rise buildings, and the road is wider. However, if you go further west, you can feel a strong urban atmosphere after entering the old/urban area, which is no different from the average city.

On the way, Feng Junshan made another phone call, then adjusted the navigator, and continued through the old/urban area to the west into a village at the junction of urban and rural areas. The village looks wealthy, with neat rows of small two-story buildings that look quite magnificent.

While walking inside, Zhou Ming secretly pondered that if he could buy a small building in such a village, it should be quite comfortable to live in, and it looked no different from those ordinary villas, and it was more popular than the villa community.

Entering the village, the speed of the car slowed down, and Feng Junshan also got out of the car and asked for directions, and finally stopped at the gate of a house. After getting out of the car, Feng Junshan made a phone call, the black iron gate opened from the inside, and a person probed his head out, and saw Feng Junshan showing enthusiasm on his face, "Brother Shan, you are here, come in." ”

Feng Junshan snorted but didn't have any special expression, and beckoned to Zhou Ming, "Xiao Zhou, go, go in and have a look." ”

After entering, I found that there were really a lot of people in the yard, and the courtyard in the countryside was big enough, but Zhou Ming still felt a little crowded when he walked in, because there were at least a dozen people crowded inside. If it was just a dozen people, the key was that there were also four tables with red cloth on them, and six antiques were placed on the red cloth.

A group of people are huddled in front of the table to show their powers, magnifying glasses, flashlights, handheld microscopes are useful, and you are really not polite at all.

Is this called a private auction? Zhou Ming was a little puzzled, this grade is too low, right? And it doesn't look like it's rented, because there is a flock of ducks in the yard. After taking a few looks, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly understood that this was not an auction at all, it should just be a collector who wanted to sell some items and didn't want to send them to the auction house, so he released a message for buyers to come to the door to bid.

When he saw the two mourning sticks thrown randomly in a corner of the courtyard, Zhou Zhou Ming completely understood in his heart that this should be the cub selling Yetian. In other words, it is believed that an old collector passed away, and the items left behind were sold by his children in this way.

In fact, it is normal that these things left by old collectors are generally of little meaning to their children, and if the family conditions are average, they will generally be sold to improve their lives. However, instead of sending it to the auction house, it released the news to lure buyers to come to the door to buy, and also held a small auction in a decent manner, and the children of this family will calculate.

But it's also normal, those who know more about the antique industry will do this, after all, the current auction house is too chaotic, all kinds of pits and abduction, sometimes not to mention selling a lot of money, maybe even the objects will be taken away, time-consuming and laborious, not to mention, a little carelessness may also lose money.

Of course, the more chaotic are small and medium-sized auction houses, but the problem is that the big auction houses also collect a number of auction items every year, not that you can put up the auction if you want to, in addition to the fee is not low, it also depends on whether your collection is qualified to be auctioned, and sometimes in order to cooperate with the actions of the auction house, it may not be possible to auction which year and which season.

But I didn't expect to find an acquaintance in the crowd, who was Boss Liu who I had only met in the morning. The boss Liu was whispering to an old man with glasses, and her daughter was squatting at one end of the yard with her head bowed with a doll bear in her arms, drawing with a tree branch.

Zhou Ming followed behind Feng Junshan and also gathered in front of the table, at this time the six works on the table are all ancient paintings, landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, because there are many people, Zhou Ming didn't look closely, he directly sensed it with a jade pen, and then shook his head secretly, because only one of the six paintings is real, and the remaining five are fakes.

Is it a trap set by the seller? Or does the seller himself not understand that the collection is a fake? Zhou Ming didn't know much about the situation when he first came, so he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and said his judgment.

Feng Junshan was skeptical when he heard this, but he still nodded and said that he understood. Zhou Ming secretly smiled bitterly when he saw this, there is no way, although the other five ancient paintings are also fakes, they are all high imitations, and it is normal for Feng Junshan to have doubts.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man who had been standing at the table coughed, "Okay, it's time to bid, it's better to go from left to right, the highest bidder wins." ”

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, a person shouted directly: "Two hundred thousand!" ”

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"

"Three hundred and twenty thousand!"

The price has directly increased to more than 300,000 in an instant, and it is still rising, obviously very optimistic about this painting, but unfortunately it is really a fake.

Seeing that Feng Junshan did not bid, Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing that Boss Liu was bidding very attentively on the side, he reached out and touched Feng Junshan, "Don't you remind me?" ”

Feng Junshan thought about it, sighed, and said in a low voice: "I'll send her a text message, it's an old acquaintance," he said with a wry smile, "Actually, most of the people here are acquaintances, and the collection circle on the Jiaozhou Peninsula is so big, and there are only a few who can rush to get the news, and they don't look up and look down, but they just ask for more blessings." ”

Zhou Mingdang understands Feng Junshan's feelings, normally they are acquaintances, and they must be reminded if they find a fake. But I really want to remind them all here, so how can the seller continue this auction? If the seller gets angry and says that he won't sell, won't they run for nothing?

So in this case, other people can only ask for more blessings for themselves, anyway, it is a business that relies on their eyesight to eat, and they look away by themselves, so don't blame others for not reminding them.

Feng Junshan took out his mobile phone and sent a text message, Boss Liu, who was bidding over there, received a text message, and after glancing at it, his face immediately changed, and he turned his head to see Feng Junshan and Zhou Ming here, frowned slightly and thought for a while, and then quietly took two steps back and did not participate in the bidding again.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders and no longer paid attention to the bidding of a group of people, and when he turned his head, he saw that the little girl Ling'er was looking at him with big eyes and unblinking, and couldn't help grinning the corners of her mouth and showing a smile at the little girl. Seeing that Feng Junshan and Boss Liu had already gotten together and discussed something in a low voice, Zhou Ming shook his head and walked to the little girl and squatted down, reached out and shook the little girl's dusty little hand, and said in a low voice: "Hello, what are you doing?" ”

The little girl still didn't say a word, but she lowered her head and drew on the ground, which was the goldfish that Zhou Ming taught her. It had only been a few hours since the morning, but the little girl had already drawn it vividly, and it was drawn on the ground with a stick, and it would have been better if it had been on paper.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming smiled slightly, picked up a wooden stick, and then squatted side by side with the little girl, drawing some simple patterns one by one, chickens and ducklings. He didn't speak, just slowed down so that the little girl could keep up with him.

While painting while observing the movements of the little girl, while secretly admiring in my heart, the little girl is really a genius who learns to draw, although the lines drawn are immature, but the way and rhythm of the pen and the patterns drawn, almost exactly the same as his, the ability to imitate is very strong.

Of course, this is not a simple imitation, but a talent for painting, and the ability to perfectly use the brush to perfectly express what you see and think of, this is the talent.

It's a pity, Zhou Zhou Ming admired and regretted at the same time, the little girl has such a good talent, but no one has the right guidance, and she is also an autistic person, no one knows what will happen in the future.

When teaching Ling'er to draw, Zhou Ming didn't forget to pay attention to the auction over there. The six paintings were quickly bought, none of them were disappointed, the lowest price was 40,000 yuan, and the highest was as high as 660,000 yuan, and it was not the real thing. That genuine piece is a landscape painting by the Qing Dynasty painter Dong He.

The vertical shaft has about three square feet, and after several rounds of bidding, it was won by Feng Junshan at a price of 130,000 yuan.

The price is very good, there is something to be earned, and there is room for appreciation. Although Dong Huan's name is not big, he can definitely be regarded as a powerful painter in the painting world, he paints well, writes well, and can even write the words "The world is peaceful" on a grain of sesame seeds, you must know that this is written with a brush, not carving.

In addition to his good strength, Dong Hao's works have actually achieved good results in previous auctions, with many works of 350,670,000 yuan, and some albums and magic works can even be auctioned at the level of millions.
