Chapter 160: White Jade Phoenix Headpin
"Manager Fang, how long will it take to get to Yinling Hotel?" Leng Yufei looked at the time and said anxiously. Because the plane was six hours late, it was already nine o'clock when she stepped off the plane. The one who came to pick up the airport was Fang Zhanyuan, the manager of the Ningdu branch of Leng Yan Jewelry. Although the stall of Lengyan jewelry is not too big, it has already opened a branch in a provincial capital market like Ningdu.
Fang Zhanyuan is an old man who follows Leng Feng, although he is only in his early thirties, he can be regarded as reliable.
"Mr. Leng, the traffic in Ningdu is like this, I can't come in a hurry." Although Fang Zhanyuan was also in a hurry, he had to open slowly for safety.
"The second piece in the collection is the Ming Dynasty bronze gilded Guanyin statue." The first lot was off to a good start. Wan Jixiang then auctioned the second collection, and the hostess still displayed the statue of Guanyin on a tray.
Guanyin wears a seven-leaf crown, the crown leaves are not divided, there is a Buddha in it, it is the Buddha of immeasurable light. The two braids behind the ears hang elegantly, and the ears are equipped with large round earrings in the shape of petals. The face is round, the lower jaw is round, and the double-layered jaw is carved with double yin lines, which has very obvious characteristics of Han Buddhist statues. The Buddha clothes and Yingluo are gorgeous, especially the clothes and belts are flowing freely, showing a very high artistic level. Holding a lotus branch in his left hand, he leaned on a table beside him.
Yu Fei used the chaotic qi to probe, it was indeed an old object in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
"The Guanyin statue is finely decorated and exquisite, the overall clothing pattern is vivid and realistic, elegant and smooth, with a strong palace statue style, it is a fine product in the statue of the Ming Dynasty! Bid below. Wan Jixiang gave a brief introduction and started the second round of auctions.
Although the statue of Kannon is also considered a fine product, it is not a national treasure. Yu Fei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. In fact, this is purely because his vision has been raised. Interest in these ordinary antique collections has been lost.
After several rounds of bidding, this Ming Dynasty copper-plated Guanyin statue was purchased by Song Xicai at a price of 300,000 yuan.
Song Xicai wrote a check for 300,000 yuan and invited the statue of Guanyin back.
"Brother Song, do you still like to collect?" Yu Fei asked in slight surprise.
"It's just a joke." Song Xicai said: "I didn't have money before. Others say that we are poor ghosts, and now that we are rich, others scold us for being dirty buns and having no taste. This time I went to Pingzhou with Lao Ye, and he taught me a trick, which is to buy some antiques to decorate the faΓ§ade. After looking at it, who would dare to say that my old Song has no culture and no taste. Lao Tzu took this statue of Guanyin and stoned him to death. β
Song Xicai's words amused Yu Fei, feeling that this guy's collection is just to show others, it's really a tyrannical thing.
Song Xicai's words not only did not attract the contempt of Dong Dechang and others. On the contrary, the relationship between several people has become a little closer, after all, no one wants to associate with hypocritical people.
"By the way, Brother Song, where did you get your cash check?" In fact, Yu Fei wanted to ask just now. When gambling on stones in Pingzhou, they are all POS machine transfers. Yu Fei didn't feel anything. But at the auction it's different. Watch someone take a picture, brush and write a check, and you're done. What if it's your turn? "Is there a POS machine for me to make a payment?" Or threw a leather bag to the other party and said: "Here is 300,000 yuan in cash, can you count it, if there is counterfeit money, I will not be responsible." So the two staff members who collected the money were so many that they frothed at the mouth and fainted.
"Yu Fei, you won't have a checkbook, right?" Song Xicai said in surprise.
Yu Feixin said what's so strange, dozens of days ago, my buddy only had a few thousand yuan in deposit, what do you want a check book for?
"When the auction is over, I'll ask the company's financial staff to take you there." Of course, these little things don't need Song Xicai to worry about, "Whatever you buy today, you can use my check first." β
Song Xicai thought that Yu Fei had seen some favorite object from the atlas.
"Xie Lu, Xie Song. But I'm not going to do it yet. Yu Fei said: "But after the end, I want to buy a few houses." When the time comes, I will have to trouble Brother Song. But let's talk ahead, according to the market price, I won't give any more. β
In fact, Yu Fei was worried that Song Xicai would sell the house to him at a discount like last time, even if Song Xicai didn't care, Yu Fei's heart would be uncomfortable.
"Okay, after it's over, you pick a few sets, Zhilu said that you are not short of these small amounts of money now, what are you polite to Brother Song?" Song Xicai naturally understood the meaning of Yu Fei's words.
"Yu Fei, what are you buying a house for? Do you want to get married? How many sets are you going to marry? Dong Ziyun's momentum came up as soon as he heard the gossip.
"With Yu Fei's body, there is no problem with marrying a few, but whether there is your position among them still needs to be asked." Song Xicai and Dong Dechang's father and daughter were also familiar with each other before, so they made such jokes.
"If you want to die, Brother Song, what are you talking nonsense? Who's going to marry him? Dong Ziyun said with a big red face.
Yu Fei smiled, let alone marrying a few, he doesn't even have one now. Although he is still in the same room as Chu Chenxun now, the two of them have been in the sea and it is difficult to reunite. Yu Fei thought that she was so nervous just now, could it be that Chu Chenxun still loved herself? But he quickly shook off the thought, perhaps just a pity.
"I want to buy a few more sets and put them there, so that my parents can also go to Ningdu to retire in the future." Yu Fei said.
When a few people were talking, two more lots were auctioned off, namely the Qing Dynasty fine-character landscape inkstone and the ancient stone dragon and phoenix inkstone, and they were taken away by the same person, because it is not a fine product, and the price is not too high, especially the dragon and phoenix inkstone, which was only auctioned at a price of 30,000 yuan. Yu Fei and the others had no interest, so they didn't pay attention.
"The next lot is the first hairpin of the Qing Dynasty Bai Yufeng." As soon as Wan Jixiang's words fell, the hostess in charge of the display stepped onto the stage.
As soon as he heard that it was a hairpin, Yu Fei lost interest, so he continued to continue the topic with Song Xicai, but Dong Ziyun touched him with his elbow and said, "Hey, look, you're here." β
What's so good? Yu Fei thought that Dong Ziyun was talking about Chu Chenxun, but she didn't know Chu Chenxun? Although he thought so in his heart, Yu Fei still looked back and looked back.
"What's it to do? On stage! Dong Ziyun said angrily.
"On stage?" Yu Fei looked at it on the stage and was stunned for a moment.
Different from the hostess who showed the lot before, this hostess did not hold a tray in her hand, but was dressed in a palace costume, walking on the stage with a graceful look, and her cloud-like hair was stuck with the white jade phoenix hairpin!
What made Yu Fei stunned was not Miss Etiquette's unique way of displaying, but because this person turned out to be Saori Mitsui! I didn't expect her to wear palace clothes, and the lotus step swaying gently would be so Chinese.
It's just that when did she become her best friend?
Yu Fei looked at Dong Ziyun and was about to ask a question, but Dong Ziyun already said as if he knew the truth: "I already know the heroic deeds of someone fighting with a Japanese tourist in the Confucius Temple for a Japanese girl who is jealous, there is no need to hide it anymore." β
"Jealous?" Yu Fei was a little dumbfounded.
"Dong Ziyun, today you have to make it clear to me, for the interests of the country and the dignity of the nation, I fought a Japanese samurai on the street and was seriously injured, how did such a singing and crying heroic deed become a jealous hooligan brawl in your mouth? That's not what you said two days ago! Yu Fei said depressedly, with grievances in his expression.
"Come on." Dong Ziyun said disdainfully: "You might as well go to Ningxia University and ask questions to see what others say." β
"Human words are terrible, human words are terrible." Yu Fei said with a sigh. Then I remembered the scene of that day: Saori Mitsui seemed to lean against him when he saw Kazawa Ren! Immediately after that, Kazada Kawahito soared like a mad cow blindfolded by red silk. Could it be that there really is that kind of relationship between Hitoshi Kazawa and Saori Mitsui?
"This hairpin is made of Hetian white jade, the carving is fine, unremarkable, the crested head is lifelike, revealing a proud look." Wan Jixiang said diligently: "It is worth mentioning that this hairpin was originally owned by Miss Saori of the Mitsui Group, and in order to raise funds for out-of-school children, Miss Saori generously donated this hairpin. β
Saori Mitsui nodded at the guests in the audience, and even said a blessing. At this time, everyone came back to their senses, and it turned out that the beautiful display lady on the stage turned out to be Saori Mitsui herself! Immediately, the audience burst into warm applause, for her good deeds, and for her beauty.
"Hey, wipe the saliva off the corners of your mouth, it's about to run down." Dong Ziyun said deliciously.
"The reserve price is one yuan, please bid." Wan Jixiang saw that the atmosphere of the scene had reached a hot spot, and said while the iron was hot.
"Fifty thousand!" Someone immediately shouted out the high price of 50,000 yuan. In terms of value alone, this Qing Dynasty Hetian white jade hairpin is only forty or fifty thousand. The first offer exceeded its original value.
Originally, Yu Fei thought that it would be difficult to improve up, but he completely underestimated the enthusiasm of the guests on the scene.
"Eighty thousand!"
"One hundred thousand!"
β¦β¦
"Two hundred thousand!"
In just a few moments, the price soared to 200,000. Yu Fei shook his head, a forty or fifty thousand thing can be auctioned for a price of 200,000, is it easier for these people to make money than themselves?
It seems that 200,000 is a threshold, and the bids that have just come and gone have gradually become quieter. After all, there are only a few people who are willing to pay more than 200,000 yuan to buy a hairpin.
Only some people with female companions are still bidding helplessly, but the proportion of price increases has been much smaller. Most of them are 11,000 plus up.
When it was increased to 280,000, no one was raising the price.
Even a man who was a little annoyed by the woman around him shouted angrily: "If you look as beautiful as her, don't say 280,000, I'll buy you 300,000!" β
Immediately, the scene caused a burst of laughter.
Just when Wan Jixiang thought the bidding was over, suddenly a somewhat stiff voice shouted: "500,000!" β
Hearing this voice, Yu Fei smiled. (To be continued......)
