Chapter 532: Competition (Continued 2) (Thank you for the tip)
Mu Tianguang found that it was not only Mr. Wang, but also other people who were also dissatisfied, so as not to cause public anger, he hurriedly told the reason.
After listening to the cause and effect, someone immediately laughed: "I said Mr. Mu, you are really too close to the door, and your relationship with Mr. Zhang is not bad, even if you give him 50,000 yuan, it is nothing!" ”
Mu Tianguang sneered and said: "I have a good relationship with Mr. Zhang, that was also a later thing, more than ten years ago, when my company's capital chain was broken, he didn't support me a penny." Now that he is in trouble, I borrowed 500,000 yuan from him two days ago, and now I am helping him deal with these wool, which is already considered benevolent and righteous, okay! ”
"Then why don't you say it, you also robbed his secretary!" Someone laughed playfully.
Almost all of the people present were men, and they all tacitly understood the meaning, which caused many people to laugh secretly for a while.
The auctioneer didn't care about everyone laughing there, and started the auction directly, of course, the reason why he did this was because he knew that the value of these wool materials was too low, and basically no one would buy it for 50,000 yuan.
It's just that the reality is beyond his expectations, as soon as he finished his routine, he heard Chu Chen's offer:
"Fifty thousand!"
Although there are only two words, it suddenly made the scene silent, it can be said that now except for Zhao Qirui and others, who know how powerful Chu Chen gambles on stones, everyone else is wondering, I don't know what kind of madness Chu Chen has made, and he will actually take pictures of this kind of wool that people are overwhelmed.
Could it be that there is something else in these pieces of wool?
Many people immediately had such a thought, but soon they all felt that it was a very ridiculous idea, even if there were not many of them who could really gamble on stones. But I've never eaten pork, and I've always seen pigs run.
The window performance of these pieces of wool can't be worse, and there is a chance that there will be jadeite inside. It's really not high, not to mention that there will be high-quality jadeite inside. That odds may be lower than the odds of winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket.
However, these people think so, but it doesn't mean that Shosuke Akida will also think so, although he doesn't know much about Chu Chen, but he lives with himself, he really doesn't believe that Chu Chen can't see that these pieces of wool are wrong, in this case, will Chu Chen want to buy these pieces of wool will there be something else?
Thinking of this, Tsunesuke Akida immediately wanted to make a bid, but after thinking about it. With these tens of thousands of dollars, even if he wins the last battle, it is really not interesting.
And he also felt in his heart that this was just a few broken stones, could he waste money so much in order to fight for breath? He's not a man with a lot of money and nowhere to spend, so of course he wouldn't do such a stupid thing!
Besides, he guessed that Chu Chen might just think it was fun to gamble on the stone and wanted to buy it and play with it, this situation. There's no need for him to follow the offer!
The auctioneer inquired several more times, and found that no one was bidding, so he dropped the gavel in his hand heavily.
Just as the staff handed over the pieces of wool to Chu Chen, the previous Mr. Wang was bowing his head and pondering.
Because he felt that Chu Chen's appearance was really familiar. Must have seen it somewhere. But he thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything, just as he was about to give up. When he looked up, he saw the staff handing over the wool to Chu Chen, which made his face shine. Immediately I remembered a person from my memory.
Mr. Wang hurriedly walked up to Chu Chen and asked with a smile, "This gentleman." I wonder if you are Chu Chen, Master Chu? ”
Chu Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I am indeed Chu Chen, but the master really can't talk about it!" ”
Mr. Wang hurriedly complimented: "Master Chu, you are so modest, you can easily defeat Leng Shaming, and you have such a wonderful performance on the jade plate, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a master." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Chu Chen said modestly again and again.
After a pleasantry and an exchange of business cards, he took his leave and returned to his seat when the next lot was about to be auctioned.
"I said Lao Wang, what are you doing in the past?" The friend sitting next to Mr. Wang asked curiously.
"Of course, I'm going to make friends with the master." Mr. Wang laughed.
"Master?" His friend asked strangely, "You mean, the young man across the street is a master?" ”
"Don't underestimate him, he's a master of gambling stones!"
Saying that, Mr. Wang briefly talked about Chu Chen's deeds, and then sighed: "I knew that Lu Dao was the wool he fancied, and I would definitely follow him." ”
"Is it as godly as you say? Besides, how can such wool be able to solve high-quality jadeite? Someone next to him felt that Mr. Wang was exaggerating Chu Chen, and he really didn't believe that those pieces of wool could be brought back to life.
"I'm not bragging about this, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to ask!"
Mr. Wang said angrily: "As for those pieces of wool, although I can't guarantee 100% of the high-quality jadeite, the possibility of high-quality jadeite is still very high." ”
"The reason is very simple, if a character like Chu Chen is not sure, it is impossible for him to think of buying such wool, because it is a very big loss to their reputation, and he is not short of money, so why do such a thankless thing?"
Hearing Mr. Wang say this, although there are still people who are skeptical, most people already believe what Mr. Wang said, just like he said, this kind of thing can be found out as soon as it is checked, and he has no need to brag at all.
In addition, as he said, if Chu Chen is not sure, he will not take pictures of the wool, after all, people are famous to a certain extent, and they still have to cherish their feathers.
Thinking of this, most people regret not stepping in just now, but now it's too late to regret it. And they all felt that even if there was jadeite in it, it would be tens of millions at most, and they couldn't imagine that the jadeite in the two pieces of wool added up to nearly 70 million.
However, Mr. Wang's words reached the ears of Tsunesuke Akita, but it made his teeth itch with hatred, if he could hold on a little just now, maybe those few pieces of wool would be his, even if the last winner was not him. You can also make some trouble for Chu Chen. It's like now, being taken advantage of by Chu Chen. I feel very uncomfortable thinking about it.
It's just that, as many people think, it's too late to regret it now. However, he swore that if Chu Chen and a group of people took a fancy to something for a while, then he would not let them succeed easily.
Next, more than a dozen lots were auctioned at the auction, although most of the lots were nothing more than ordinary goods in the eyes of the wealthy people on the scene, but there were still a few lots that set off the auction high. tide, especially one of the Qing Qianlong blue and white dragon pattern plum vase provided by Mu Tianguang, has caused a lot of competition among the rich.
It's just that Tsunesuke Akida came out and raised the price again, although it was not as blatant as just now. However, it was precisely because of this that the price of the winner was nearly two million more than the market price, which made the winner equally angry.
Soon, the auction lot arrived on the 26th, and this lot was a sachet carefully carved by the palace office with fine white jade during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
This sachet is round, jade white, divided into two parts, the cover and the bottom, both in the shape of hollow five-petal flowers. The middle of the sachet is centered on a group of eight-petaled flowers. Each flower is inlaid with a ruby in the middle, and the sachet can be opened and closed to hold spices and flowers. The fragrance can overflow from the hollow and is an ornament that hangs from the belt.
"Achen, how is this sachet?" Wu Ke asked.
"It's still very good. How, you want? Chu Chen replied.
"yes!" Wu Ke nodded.
"Then shoot!" Chu Chen said with a smile.
There are obviously a lot of people who like this sachet. The starting price of 50,000 yuan soon exceeded 200,000 yuan.
Wu saw that Chu Chen agreed. hurriedly raised his cards and quoted 220,000.
Originally, Tsunesuke Akida was lazy to raise the price of hundreds of thousands of gadgets, but when he saw Wu Ke, who he thought was likely to be Chu Chen's girlfriend, he was suddenly interested, and directly raised his card and said: "300,000!" ”
Wu Ke was a little dumbfounded when he saw Tsunesuke Zhaotian's offer, because before the quotation just now, Chu Chen had already told her that the market value of this sachet was only 300,000 HKD at most, and now it was quoted at the highest market price all of a sudden, so what should she do?
You must know that she only has 310,000 KHD in her bank card, and according to this quotation method, it is definitely not enough.
"This little guy is really not a thing!" Wu Ke gritted his teeth and said.
Chu Chen patted her hand and said, "There's nothing to be angry about this kind of person, why don't I help you take it down?" ”
"No need, there's no need to fight with this kind of person!" Wu Ke hurriedly shook his head.
Chu Chen said: "If we don't make an offer, don't I think it will encourage his arrogance, don't worry, I will only quote again, if not, forget it." ”
Wu Ke saw Tsunesuke Akita's triumphant appearance, and his heart was also on fire, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" But you can't quote too much! ”
"Don't worry, I've got it!"
Speaking of this, Chu Chen hurriedly raised his sign and said, "Four hundred thousand!" ”
"Really, why are you reporting so high!" Hearing Chu Chen's offer, Wu Ke was a little unhappy.
"It's a little higher, but if I'm not mistaken, if we buy it at this price, we shouldn't lose much." Chu Chen said with a smile.
Hearing Chu Chen say this, Wu Ke became a little curious.
On the other hand, Tsunesuke Akida was extremely entangled, and he really didn't know if he should continue to offer. As mentioned earlier, he actually doesn't know much about antiques, and the prices of those lots just now were all obtained from Mr. Yang next to him, and the price of this sachet given by Mr. Yang was between 280,000 and 300,000 HKD.
To say that the loss of 100,000 yuan is nothing to him, but if the other party wants to cheat him, when he bids a higher price, the other party will not follow, doesn't that make him lose face in front of the other party?
After thinking about it, Tsunesuke Akida still felt that it was better to give up, after all, letting Chu Chen lose 100,000 was a small revenge!
Seeing that Tsunesuke Akida didn't follow, the auctioneer also dropped the hammer, and then asked the staff to hand over the things to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen took the sachet in his hand, observed it for a while, and smiled and gestured to Tsunesuke Akita.
"Achen, is there anything else to say about this sachet?" Zhao Qirui asked curiously.
"Uncle, look at the things on both sides of the sachet." Chu Chen smiled and handed over the sachet.
Zhao Qirui received it in his hand, took a closer look, and returned it to Chu Chen, and said with a smile: "It's actually a top-notch old coral bead, and a top-grade red coral bead, although your price is not cheap, but you don't lose anything!" ”
Wu Ke took the thing and looked at it carefully, and she knew that she was a little confused about this red silk, and asked, "What is this red silk?" It looks like an agate! ”
"You're right!" Chu Chen said with a smile: "This red agate is also a kind of agate, red agate is a flesh-red variety, which was very valuable in ancient Roman times, and was generally used to make seals. Although these red silk and coral beads are not too big, they are both superb, and although the total of 428,000 HKD is a little expensive, we have not lost much! ”
As soon as she heard Chu Chen say that she really didn't lose much, Wu Ke's face suddenly bloomed with joy, but immediately she complained a little: "Ah Chen, since you have long known the Tao, why didn't you tell me just now, I was worried in vain!" (To be continued......)
