The car driven by the young man was driving fast, and Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai were eating some food to fill their stomachs, while chatting happily about antiques, but when Qiao Qingtai accidentally saw the scenery outside the car window, he who was more familiar with Xiazhou suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Qiao Qingtai frowned and said, "I said, go to the place mentioned on the note, it seems that you don't have to go from here, right?" ”

The young man hurriedly smiled and said, "The address mentioned above is actually wrong, and the real place is only known to us people." Hehe, please rest assured, there will definitely be no problem in terms of safety, even my thin arms and legs can't beat you! ”

Chu Chen said expressionlessly: "There is also a word in this world called 'accomplice'. ”

The young man laughed: "This boss, you are joking, the reputation of our industry is the most important, and I will not joke about my own money." Of course, if you feel really uneasy, I can send you back to the hotel. ”

After all, this is a black market auction, and it is normal to be cautious, plus Chu Chen and they didn't find any problems from the young man, and Qiao Qingtai's task has not been completed, of course he will not retreat now and go back to the hotel now.

In fact, for the young man, of course he wouldn't want Chu Chen and the others to go back to the hotel now, otherwise his commission would be in vain. Therefore, when he drove next, he also tried to be as serious as possible, so as not to scare Chu Chen and the others away.

The car circled around to a small manor behind the woods. But although it is a manor, let alone Chu Chen's courtyard. Even compared to his villa, it is a little smaller.

The manor is surrounded by a wooden fence, and near the middle of the manor are several small buildings in the style of Xiazhou people's houses. It looks antique and has a unique flavor.

After getting out of the car, Chu Chen thought of a question, how to pay the money after the bidding was successful.

So he asked the young man, "Will you have to pay cash in the future?" ”

"Of course not." The young man laughed: "The things in our night market are not comparable to the things in the auction just now, let alone millions, some national treasure-level cultural relics are sold for tens of millions." No matter what, it's impossible to pay in cash! ”

"Do you still have national treasure-level cultural relics here?" Chu Chen's expression was a little surprised.

"Of course." The young man looked a little proud: "Our big boss is very capable. You can get almost anything. Of course, there are not many national treasure-level artifacts like this that appear at auction, and it is rare to have one or two. ”

Speaking of this, the young man looked around, and said to Chu Chen and them a little secretly: "I tell you a piece of news, today is the birthday of our big boss, and the finale of this auction is a national treasure-level cultural relic. If you're interested. But you have to take advantage of the opportunity, otherwise you don't know when to wait. ”

Chu Chen's eyes lit up, and then his expression turned cold again, and he asked lightly: "Then if I take a picture of this national treasure." Is there a guarantee of safety? ”

The young man said with a smile: "We can't guarantee the safety of you after you buy it back." Here, though, there will certainly be no problems. And we have strict confidentiality measures and will not disclose any buyer's information. Even if you buy that national treasure. No one else will know your information. ”

"Don't you know?" Chu Chen smiled and said.

"Boss, you're laughing, I'm old and young. I wouldn't do that kind of thing. The young man hurriedly waved his hand, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen and the others didn't need to ask much to understand what was going on.

Next, the three of them followed the young man to the door of a house in the middle, during which Chu Chen found that the security measures around him were much stricter than just now, and there were all-round cameras in some seemingly inconspicuous locations.

Chu Chen and the guards at the gate of Guò were able to enter after a series of inspections that were not inferior to those at the airport, and before entering, the young man also reminded them not to turn on their mobile phones, otherwise it would be easy to misunderstand, Chu Chen and they didn't want to make trouble, so they did so.

When the three of them walked into the house, they saw that there were already people drinking tea and chatting there, and judging from their clothing and behavior, these people were obviously much more polite than in the afternoon, and none of them spoke loudly.

The layout of the room is like a high-end clubhouse, not only is there a circle of sofas that are quite comfortable to sit on, but also some high-end fruits and snacks are placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa, which looks very delicious, and I don't know how it tastes.

As soon as the three of them sat down, a waiter with a very sweet smile came up and poured them tea, which made people can't bear to refuse.

Although they should be as careful as possible at the black market auction, they don't think much about it when they see that the other customers are relieved to drink tea and eat pastries. Besides, they didn't bring much cash, and even if the organizers wanted to hack their money, they wouldn't play tricks on this kind of thing.

After about ten or twenty minutes, seeing that the customers were almost here, the auctioneer walked in, but this person was not the one in the afternoon, the person was more energetic than the afternoon one, and the language organization skills were much stronger than the afternoon one.

Next, the auctioneer said a welcome greeting and explained the auction rules again, and the auction officially began.

The lots were brought up one by one, and the first to be taken was a group of three jade ornaments in the shape of human faces.

The human-shaped jade ornament is very rare in the antique world, and this group of human-shaped jade ornaments and Neolithic tools are large. The style of the human-face-shaped jade ornaments found in the Creek culture is similar.

In terms of material, jade ornaments should be regarded as stone, but their polishing is fine and smooth, considering that the ancients took jade as the "beauty of stone", and there is no strict classification in modern geology, so it is more appropriate to say that they are jade ornaments.

Among them, Chu Chen was most impressed by one of the dark gray human-face-shaped jade ornaments, its body was flattened, oval-shaped, the human face was face-up, and there were Yin lines engraved on the outside to represent the facial contours, circle-shaped eyes, the nose bridge was straight, and the mouth was hemispherical and convex, and there were no ears.

The reason why Chu Chen felt impressed was because this human-shaped jade ornament was similar to the one found before. The human-shaped jade ornaments of the Xi culture, except for some details, are very similar, and may come from the same person's hands. The other two, although they are a little worse than this one on the table, have lost their charm.

After identification, Chu Chen believes that judging from the existing surface and process characteristics of the jade ornaments, this group of human-shaped jade ornaments is indeed large. The genuine of the creek culture. There is only one jade ornament like this, which shows its rarity, and the zuò is very exquisite, so there is no need to say much about the value.

When the auctioneer saw that no one came to the stage for appraisal, he dropped the hammer and began to bid, and the price increase of the lot was no longer just a few hundred or thousands like in the afternoon, and the lowest was tens of thousands. Of course, if each lot is like this group of jade ornaments, it is very normal to increase the price by tens of thousands.

Although the auctioneer did not introduce much about this group of jade ornaments, he still mentioned its preciousness to some extent, and those who came to the black market still had some understanding of the antique market, and there were many customers who bid for a while.

But in the end, it is something on the black market, needless to say, so everyone's price increase is not high, and after 100,000, there are obviously a lot fewer guests participating in the bidding.

Like this jade ornament, Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai were very interested, and Chu Chen also made a bid, but when he found that a middle-aged man who looked like a boss had been raising the price, and the price had also crossed the bottom line in his heart, he finally gave up.

In the end, it was not the middle-aged man who photographed this set of jade ornaments, but another big-bellied boss. As for the identity of the middle-aged man, Chu Chen guessed that it should be asked by the black market. This situation, not to mention the black market, is commonplace even in formal auctions.

Moreover, the buyer didn't necessarily know that the middle-aged man was a to, but he was just willing to fight and suffer. After all, the price of things on the black market is much lower than the price on the market, and even if the buyer sells for a relatively high price, the goods can still make a lot of money when they are put on the market.

Next, two more bronzes were put on the table, and these two were not as they were in the afternoon, and it was obvious that they were relics that had not been unearthed for a long time. Because the shape of these two bronzes is not too rare, they were finally photographed by the same customer at a relatively low price.

Immediately afterwards, another lot came up, which was a blue and white cloud dragon pattern sunflower edge plate in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

The diameter of this device is nearly 40 centimeters, the selection of materials, sample preparation, painting tools, inscriptions are all fine, for Xuande once a new style, the shape is dignified and beautiful, the lines are smooth and vivid, the glaze juice is condensed and green, and the fetal bone is firm and thin.

This plate is in the shape of five sunflower petals, and the inner heart is slightly convex. All-over blue and white decorations. The mouth is decorated with blue and white double lines inside and outside, the theme of the pan heart painting is decorated with cloud dragon pattern, the dragon is pan body, the body is strong, its layout is dense but not chaotic, the painting is exquisite, the shade of blue and white has its own meaning, the pen and ink are all interesting in front of you, and the rhyme is born with the pen, adding an elegant beauty.

The bottom of the double circle in the regular script "Ming Xuande year" six-character paragraph, its style and bones are beautiful, the penmanship is fresh, dignified and clumsy, all in line with the Jin and Tang Dynasty Xiaokai thick and simple law. Such a complex craftsmanship is the embodiment of the exclusive dignity of the imperial power, highlighting the magnificence of court art, which can be described as ingenious.

But this blue and white cloud dragon pattern sunflower edge plate, one of the claws of the dragon pattern is not five claws but six claws, which makes most of the guests' hearts retreat, because they feel that this kind of flaw is obviously impossible to appear on the real thing.

Moreover, these people did not think that this would be the defective product at that time and dispersed to the outside, because at that time, this kind of porcelain would be processed and broken, and it was impossible for it to be dispersed to the people.
