Chapter 327: I Want It (Ask for Subscription!) )
As Fang An expected, sure enough, after he finished shouting the price, the scene fell into silence, and no one bid again.
The people who come here mainly come for two points, one is that it is unlikely that the things here are fake, after all, most of them are dug from the ground, and it is unlikely that someone will manipulate them. In the antique industry, I am afraid that someone will set up a trap to make an eye, and the loss is not tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands, and it is not comfortable to put it on anyone.
The second point is that this is not a formal auction house after all, and the number of people invited is relatively limited, so there is still a big gap between the transaction price of each auction and the actual market price of the item.
Take this white jade chess as an example, although it is rare, the market price is only more than 12 million at most, and Fang An pushed the price to the limit of the market price as soon as he made a move, and even if it was finally auctioned, he didn't make much money. If someone who doesn't have a channel to buy it, the result is likely to be a loss of money.
What's more important is that Fang An is a fresh face, no one has seen him before, and he is not a person in the circle of playing antiques in Rongcheng, they are also worried that someone else has found a trust, if that is the case, it is likely to be killed if they rashly take the plate, so no one will increase the price.
Seeing that no one was bidding anymore, the auctioneer shouted loudly: "12 million once, 12 million twice, 12 million for the third time, okay, deal!" Congratulations to this friend for winning this white jade chess match! ”
The third auction item is a calligraphy painting, albeit a famous painting from the Tang Dynasty. But the damaged one was more strict, and it was finally won by an old man at a high price of 880,000.
The next dozen or so auction items in a row are some ordinary porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, ancient coins and the like, and Xu Yinglong is not very interested in this kind of thing that is only 1,800 years old. So he was silent again.
"The auction below is a pure gold Buddha statue, which should be an old thing from the Western Han Dynasty. The reserve price is 5 million, and each price increase shall not be less than 100,000, and the bidding starts now! The auctioneer said again.
After the auctioneer finished speaking, no one asked for the price, and everyone was not very sure about this half-foot-high golden Buddha, especially the auctioneer's old thing from the Western Han Dynasty made everyone even more uncertain. Anyone who plays with antiques should know that Buddhism was born in ancient India. However, it was not introduced to the Eastern Territory until the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty had always been the dominant Taoist family. Therefore, it is unlikely that such a high-level thing as the Golden Buddha appeared in China during the Western Han Dynasty.
Of course, it's not like nothing. After all, during the Western Han Dynasty, China already had ties with the Indian Peninsula. However, according to the style of this golden Buddha, this is clearly a local feature of China, so this auction item feels very strange.
Seeing that people didn't shout the price, Xu Yinglong was a little puzzled. After all, judging from what happened just now. The price of the lot in this type of auction is very low, and there is generally no upset. And this golden Buddha is half a foot high, it seems to be a solid Buddha statue, the weight of gold alone is more than a dozen catties, at the current gold price, the value is also millions, even if it is an eye, it will not lose too much.
Conversely, once this thing is true. That's a lot of money. After all, Buddhism flowed into China during the Eastern Han Dynasty has become a consensus among people, if this golden Buddha is real. It is very likely to rewrite this history, and the value of this golden Buddha will be extraordinary.
Isn't antiques just a heartbeat? With such a good opportunity, it is impossible to be indifferent with the character of this group of people!
Perhaps seeing Xu Yinglong's doubts, Xiao Ruofeng whispered in Xu Yinglong's ear: "Don't worry, it won't be a missed auction." These people are all old fritters, slippery and tight! Look, when they see the good things, it won't be a few minutes before someone shouts the price! ”
Xu Yinglong was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a throbbing in the depths of the sea of consciousness, and suddenly a beast roar came out in his mind, and the huge sound shook Xu Yinglong's qi and blood for a while.
It took a long time for Xu Yinglong to recover, and Xu Yinglong couldn't care about Xiao Ruofeng, who was talking to him, and hurriedly investigated what was going on.
Xu Yinglong felt a hot spot in the depths of the sea of consciousness, and a familiar feeling came to his heart, as if someone was passing some information to him.
Suddenly, Xu Yinglong thought of a possibility, could it be that the Chaos Bead's Divine Spirit Beast Fire Qilin was making trouble, although the beast roar just now didn't look like it was made by the Fire Qilin. There was also a sound that looked like a dragon's groan, but Xu Yinglong still smelled the smell of the fire unicorn.
It should be the fire unicorn that is sending some message to itself, but what is the message?
Suddenly, Xu Yinglong's eyes were fixed on the golden Buddha on the auction table, could it be related to this golden Buddha? Yes, the Chaos Bead has rarely moved before, and this time it was after the appearance of the Golden Buddha that such a big movement was launched.
Just when Xu Yinglong was thinking this, a beast roar came from the sea of consciousness again, and this time Xu Yinglong heard it clearly, it must be a fire unicorn. After getting along for so many years and fighting for so many years, Xu Yinglong still knows a lot about this former opponent and current friend, which should be responding to him.
At this time, someone has already started bidding, and the price has soared to 7.5 million.
The reason why people are bidding is not because they have much confidence in the golden Buddha, but because they are interested in the material of the golden Buddha itself. Such a large golden Buddha, just from the struggling appearance of the two welcoming ladies just now, it can be seen that the weight is not light. Regardless of whether this golden Buddha is an old thing, just such a large piece of gold is worth a lot of money.
Xu Yinglong did not rush to shout the price, but carefully looked at the golden Buddha on the booth! I saw that this golden Buddha was about half a foot tall and three inches wide, and its whole body was shining with golden light, shining in the light.
After looking at it for a while, Xu Yinglong found that this golden Buddha was not simple, although he was not good at antiques, and he could even be said to be a complete novice. But it is not an antiquity, Xu Yinglong can still distinguish it, after all, the longer the history, the more spiritual it is, and that kind of thick historical atmosphere cannot be faked. The most important thing is that Xu Yinglong felt a faint aura from this golden Buddha, very faint and light, if it wasn't deliberately felt, it really couldn't be found, but it was very real.
"I want this thing!" Xu Yinglong said lightly.
Fang An immediately shouted: "15 million"
Xiao Ruofeng, who was drinking water next to "poof", instantly turned into a high-pressure water gun, and all the water in his mouth squirted out, accompanied by a violent cough.
It's no wonder that Xiao Ruofeng is so out of shape, this golden Buddha obviously has a zài problem, even if it is no problem, it is worth more than 10 million, and it is already great to be able to sell it for 12 million. Fang An shouted out the price of 15 million, which must be a loss, and it will be a big loss.
It took more than ten seconds for Xiao Ruofeng to come to his senses, and then said: "Brother Xu, you better think about it, this golden Buddha is probably not as simple as you think!" ”
Xu Yinglong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you should pay the tuition fee when you see it." Besides, I really haven't seen this Buddha statue made of gold, so I just took it back to nourish my eyes! ”
Seeing Xu Yinglong say this, Xiao Ruofeng couldn't say anything. The happiest thing in the world is that money is hard to buy, and now there are too many people who are willful when they have money, and he still doesn't want to say anything.
But what Xiao Ruofeng didn't expect was that even at the price of 15 million, there were still people competing, and after two minutes of cold play, a person in black clothes and black robes who hid his entire face in a cloak suddenly shouted: "20 million!" ”
The crowd was in a commotion again, Fang An's shouting just now was already very tyrant, but now there are people who have raised the price by 5 million all at once, this is a local tyrant meeting Shenhao, there is a good show.
As soon as the cloaked man finished speaking, a woman with a jade-faced fox sitting in the corner suddenly said: "25 million, I want this golden Buddha!" ”
Fang An looked at Xu Yinglong, meaning to let him make up his mind, after all, a golden Buddha with a reserve price of 5 million has increased by 5 times, and this price has exceeded its own value by much.
Xu Yinglong glanced at him and said, "I want this golden Buddha!" (To be continued......)
