Chapter 159: Bidding
Because Huang Yongsan has rarely appeared recently, many people have come to visit.
"Master, why don't you say hello when you come over?" A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties saw Huang Yongsan and hurriedly ran over. He is Huang Lao's little apprentice Lu Jinghui, and is currently the vice chairman of the Jade Association. As a guest of this charity auction, although he knew that Huang Yongsan had also received an invitation, he didn't expect him to come at all! The old man has received invitations in trucks in recent years, but he has hardly ever been seen in attendance. He just walked into the venue with Jiang Zhengsheng, the president of Ningdu University. Knowing that Huang Yongsan had already arrived, he hurriedly came over to say hello.
"What? Do I have to report back to you where I'm going? No matter how big you are, you can't control the old man. Huang Yongsan was in a good mood and joked with Lu Jinghui.
"Master, you're joking again." Lu Jinghui said with a smile. If there was no Huang Yongsan's support, he would not have been able to sit in the position of vice chairman of the Jade Association in his forties, and he regarded Huang Yongsan as a father, very respectful, no matter how busy he was, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, he would definitely go to Yangcheng to meet the master, and he had never stopped for so many years.
"Come, I'll introduce you to a little friend." Huang Yongsan patted Yu Fei's arm and said, "Small, I'll introduce you to a big person, Lu Jinghui, now the vice chairman of the Jade Association, with a respectful attitude, don't forget to bring gifts when you ask for things in the future." β
"Master, you can scold me hard." Lu Jinghui hasn't seen Huang Yongsan talk like this for a long time, it seems that it's all the credit of this "less", I don't know what he did to make the old man so happy.
"It's less than. I'm Lu Jinghui, Huang Lao's little apprentice, you can just call me Brother Lu. "Because of Huang Yongsan's relationship. Lu Jinghui didn't take the shelf either.
Yu Fei hurriedly held Lu Jinghui's outstretched hand and said, "Hello Brother Lu, my name is Yu Fei, and I am now doing some small business of jewelry and jadeite." β
Lu Jinghui nodded, knowing it in his heart. Huang Yongsan has rarely opened his mouth to do things in recent years, but introducing Yu Fei in this way seems to be intentionally taking care of himself more in the future.
At this time, Jiang Zhengsheng also came to meet Huang Yongsan, and the VIP seat was lively for a while.
Yu Fei took advantage of the time to ask Dong Ziyun next to him: "Why hasn't Yufei come yet?" Didn't you say that you would come here today? β
"What? Can't wait to see you? Dong Ziyun quipped: "Why don't you ask yourself if you want to know Lu Dao?" You don't know her phone number. β
Yu Fei thought about it too. When he was about to take out his mobile phone to call Leng Yufei, he heard Dong Ziyun say faintly: "I have already been contacted, the plane is delayed." It may arrive a little later. β
Looking at Yu Fei, who was talking and laughing freely in the front row, Luan Rulan's face was full of confusion.
"Chen Xun, is this still the Yu Fei we know?" Luan Rulan turned her head and asked Chu Chenxun beside her in a low voice. Today's Yu Fei is wearing a Versace suit carefully selected by Dong Ziyun for him. Although Yu Fei, who loves sports, doesn't like to wear suits very much, I have to say that wearing a suit adds a maturity and stability while being sunny and energetic. It looks extraordinary.
"Maybe that's what he is. And I never really knew him. Chu Chenxun said gloomily. She likes Yu Fei's high-spirited appearance, but when he is really high-spirited, he no longer belongs to her. If Yu Fei is miserable today, Chu Chenxun will not hesitate to return to his side and tell him that he still loves him! But now he ...... Chu Chenxun looked at Yu Fei, who was smiling with Dong Ziyun, and thought sadly in his heart: He may not need himself anymore. It's no wonder that others chose this path by himself, and it was she who pushed him out of the road with her own hands and buried her former love with her own hands.
Nine o'clock sharp. The auction started on time.
Jiang Zhengsheng, President of Ningdu University, took the stage to briefly introduce the background of the charity auction, emphasizing that the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Hope Project to fund out-of-school children; He also praised the good deeds of Waseda University and Mitsui Group. I thanked all the guests who were here today, and then announced the official start of the auction, and invited Wan Jixiang, the chief auctioneer of Kyoto Poly Auction Company.
Wan Jixiang first introduced the bidding rules of this charity auction as usual. Unlike ordinary auctions, the reserve price of all lots in this charity auction is one yuan, and the guests present can increase the price according to their preferences, and the highest bidder wins.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will invite the first lot of today's auctionββ"
Wan Jixiang's voice paused, and the appetites of everyone in the audience were all suspended.
"The first lot is the Qianlong Emperor's "Four Treasures of Ten Perfections" seal! β
As soon as Wan Jixiang's words fell, the audience began to talk about it. Although a number of brochures were also printed at the auction, most of them did not receive them due to the limited quantity. Generally speaking, although some works of art will be returned overseas, most of them are antiques with low artistic value, and items like the seal of Emperor Qianlong are still very rare.
Emperor Qianlong was the longest-serving emperor in Chinese history and the longest-lived emperor in Chinese history. During his reign, he inherited the remnants of his ancestors, relied on the prosperity of the country, made a man from heaven, and turned his life turns into glory again and again, so that he was able to continue to create myths in the history of Chinese emperors in the past 90 years of his life. These major turning points in his life are also fully reflected in his royal seal. One of the characteristics of the Qianlong Treasure Seal summarized in the book "The Treasure Seal of the Emperor and Empress of the Ming and Qing Dynasties" is that "the function of remembering the history is obvious." It wrote: "During the Qianlong period, every important state and family affair was encountered, a treasure seal was engraved to commemorate it." If they are arranged in chronological order, the state affairs and family affairs of the Qianlong Dynasty can be seen at a glance.
This treasure is blue and white jade, Jiaolong button, Zhu Wenzhushu "four perfect treasures" six words. The jade quality is warm and delicate, the carving of the dragon button is smooth and fine, and the form is natural, which is a typical style of the middle and late Qianlong period. In the "Qianlong Baoxu", which is now in the Forbidden City in Beijing...... "With Wan Jixiang's introduction, Miss Etiquette walked up to the stage with a tray decorated with bright yellow satin. On the tray are the four perfect treasure seals.
Because it is a charity auction, almost all the lots are real, so naturally there will be no time for people to identify them on the spot.
Even so, Yu Fei, who was not at ease with the Japanese, still mobilized the chaotic qi to test it, whether it was the heart of a villain, it was better to say that he was cautious, anyway, he didn't want so many people to spend a lot of money to buy antiques that turned out to be fakes!
After testing, Yu Fei found that there was indeed a chaotic qi in the treasure seal, and there was no doubt that it was genuine.
"We know that Emperor Qianlong called himself a perfect old man, died in his nineties, and the items he used were themselves a symbol of Fu Lu Shou...... "Wan Jixiang, as the chief auctioneer of Kyoto Poly Auction House, naturally did not come in vain, and he excavated the deeper value of the treasure seal as soon as he came up.
Most of the people who like to collect are more superstitious, so the same antiques used by the emperor, the price used by Emperor Kangxi and the monarch used by the deceased monarch such as Emperor Chongzhen may be completely different.
"Bidding for the first lot begins, please bid!" After whetting his appetite, Wan Jixiang announced the start of the bidding.
"Twenty thousand!" As soon as Wan Jixiang's words fell, the middle-aged man sitting on the left directly shouted the price to 20,000.
"One hundred thousand!" A lady in her thirties in the middle was raised five times higher.
The meaning of this square is very good, and it is very suitable to buy it for the elders, and the bidding is also very fierce. There was no need for Wan Jixiang to speak, and the price rose all the way to 200,000.
After reaching 200,000, the bidding was not so enthusiastic, after all, Emperor Qianlong had many treasure seals, and the market price of this treasure seal was only more than 100,000.
At this time, Wan Jixiang began to show his skills as the chief auctioneer again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, all proceeds from this auction will be used to support out-of-school children in poor areas, and your kindness may bring hundreds of children back to the classroom." Wan Jixiang emphasized the importance of the charity auction on one side, and then asked: "Is there a higher price than 200,000 for this side of the Four Perfect Treasure Seals?" β
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" When this price was shouted, there was no further increase.
Wan Jixiang didn't waste much time waiting, and the auction hammer struck hard to announce the ownership of the first lot.
"Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the Four Treasures of Emperor Qianlong, and offering a love to out-of-school children." With Wan Jixiang's words, a man in his thirties stepped onto the stage. Listening to the discussion of the people in the audience, it seems that the son of the chairman of Guoli Electric, surnamed Huang, what is the name Yu Fei did not hear clearly.
The man handed the staff a check and took the Treasure Seal away. He was going to give it to his father as a birthday gift. Later, I don't know if Lu Dao was the reason for this treasure seal, and his father was imprisoned soon after.
Yu Fei didn't shout the price during the whole process, a person who is used to spending a small amount of money to pick up leaks, you let him buy antiques at the market price, he feels that he is at a loss, not to mention that he has to pay a higher price than the value of the item? Do you think he will be interested? Alas! People who are used to picking up leaks can't afford to hurt them.
Ning Chengfeng, who was sitting in the control room, was speechless, and the income from the first lot in this auction almost caught up with the cumulative income of the previous auction. Originally, he was going to participate in the auction as well, after all, he could still get it for tens of thousands. But what he didn't expect was that the first bid completely extinguished his thoughts.
Don't say it's him in such a scene, even if his father comes, I'm afraid it's useless. Now he has a preliminary understanding of Saori Mitsui's family background, and he also knows that it is completely impossible for him and her, and he can't help but look very frustrated.
Saori Mitsui was not in control of Ning Chengfeng's side at this time, she had already gone backstage to change her clothes, and there would be a place where she would need to appear later. (To be continued......)
