Obviously being swept away by Yuan Qianqian, although Li Shao was depressed in his heart, he couldn't leave with his sleeves and left the scene.

Anyway, this treasure appreciation conference is not over yet, and there is still a treasure giver waiting to offer his treasures for expert appraisal, if Li Shao leaves, it will be too ungraceful.

"Mr. Twelfth, please!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the male host hurriedly raised his voice and shouted.

At this moment, we can only divert everyone's attention as soon as possible to make Li Shao less embarrassed.

In the sound of light music, Mr. Ma, the twelfth treasure presenter, slowly moved forward and entered everyone's field of vision. This Mr. Ma, who is about 50 years old, has a wrinkled face and is dressed very simply, and he knows at a glance that his family background is not too good, and his life is not so satisfactory. This is not because of his simplicity, but because of the temperament of the whole person.

Walking on the red carpet leading to the treasure platform, Mr. Ma cowered with a humble smile on his face. The confident temperament of a successful person is not at all compatible with him.

For example, Xiao Fan, no matter how simple he dresses, no one will really treat him as a poor scholar.

The box that Mr. Ma was holding in his hand was also bright and full of modern flavor, and it was obvious that this box was added temporarily. If the treasure he brought was so "fresh", there would be no need to identify it.

Antiques, the focus is on the word "ancient".

After experiencing the ups and downs just now, everyone was full of expectations for the box in Mr. Ma's hand, hoping that Mr. Ma could bring a more valuable treasure to everyone. So today's treasure appreciation conference, even if it is successfully concluded, is more exciting than the previous treasure appreciation conferences.

At least the past few treasure appreciation conferences. There was no "snapping" sound of slapping in the face.

However, looking at Mr. Ma's honest appearance, many people also doubt in their hearts, what good treasures can people like this collect?

In fact, Mr. Ma did not "surprise" people. When the obviously incompatible box was opened, and Mr. Ma carefully took out a bowl-shaped item from it, several VIPs showed disappointed eyes. Distinguished guests who can come to this kind of treasure appreciation conference. It's usually not that simple, and the ability to appreciate antiques is extraordinary. If it's really two hundred and five, how dare you casually participate in the auction?

Although said. The three treasure experts, including Nan Shutong, are still more trustworthy in this kind of public place, but they will only quote a bidding reserve price, and how much the treasure to auction is the upper limit depends on everyone's perception of this thing. A guy who doesn't know anything at all. It's easy to be stabbed as a wronged boss.

colluding with each other at auctions. There are not a few cases of collusion to kill people.

The bowl that Mr. Ma took out was blue and white in color, and the jade quality was very ordinary, even inferior. Connoisseurs of antiques know very well that jade is really not very valuable, even if it is jade from ancient times, if not very special. Often, the price is not very high.

Not to mention the bowl that Mr. Ma took out, the jade quality is so ordinary. At first glance, you can tell that it is miscellaneous jade. Such a miscellaneous jade bowl, no matter how old it is and how exquisite the carving is, its value is very limited.

And the expressions of the three treasure connoisseurs are even more revealing.

As soon as he looked at this miscellaneous jade bowl, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Uncle Nan's mouth, the oldest treasure connoisseur shook his head slightly, with an obvious disapproval on his face, and the other treasure connoisseur, after a glance, directly picked up the water cup in front of him, as if he was not even interested in taking a second look.

It's really nothing to see.

Not only is it miscellaneous jade, but the carving is also average, not to mention how special.

The so-called miscellaneous jade, to put it nicely, is actually just a slightly smoother stone.

But since this thing has been brought to Nan Shutong, and it is in this kind of formal treasure appreciation conference, you can't just let people take it back, you have to appreciate it and give a comment.

"Mr. Ma, how did you get this bowl?"

Uncle Nan picked up the bowl, looked at it a few times, and asked very casually.

This is the standard process of the treasure appraisal conference, every treasure donor comes up, and the treasure connoisseur has to ask this question.

Mr. Ma hurriedly replied respectfully: "Mr. Nan, this bowl is not mine, it belongs to a relative of mine, and his family lives far away, so he brought this thing to me......"

"Oh, relative's? Ancestral? ”

Uncle Nan looked at the bowl and asked casually.

"Maybe it's ancestral, my relative is very honest and responsible...... Mr. Nan, I just want to ask, is this bowl genuine? ”

When he asked this, Mr. Ma's tone was quite nervous, as if he was afraid of saying a "no" from Nan Shutong's mouth.

Uncle Nan smiled with haha and said, "Mr. Ma, the genuine product is the genuine product, your miscellaneous jade bowl, according to me, is still an old antique, something from the Qin and Han dynasties." Judging from the patterns and techniques of this carving, it has obvious characteristics of the pre-Han Dynasty. ”

"Antique? So Mr. Nan, how much is this bowl worth? ”

Mr. Ma immediately became excited and asked.

"How much is it worth?"

Mr. Ma's question seemed to have been stopped by Uncle Nan, and he hesitated a little and was silent.

Everyone's hearts were hanging, even the VIPs who were disappointed widened, holding their breath, waiting for Uncle Nan to make an offer, maybe they didn't have to look away.

In any case, this is also an antiquity of the Qin and Han dynasties.

"Mr. Ma, don't be disappointed when I say it...... In the world of antiques, jade products have always been of little value. This bowl, the jade quality is too poor, the carving is also very average, there are a lot of damages, the appearance is more general, although it is an antiquity of the Qin and Han dynasties, it is not very valuable. ”

"So, how much is it worth?"

Mr. Ma asked busily, his face full of gains and losses.

Uncle Nan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Ma, the estimate I gave to this bowl is 2,000 yuan. ”

"Two thousand?"

Mr. Ma's face immediately showed extreme disappointment.

Uncle Nan nodded and shook his head slightly. Let's be honest. The price he gave to this bowl of 2,000 yuan was already very high. If someone else took such a miscellaneous jade bowl to the "Qianbao Zhai" to sell, his clerk could give a price of 500 yuan. He still thinks that Lao Ma is an honest man. The pitiful appearance was only discovered by conscience and the price was given four or five times the price.

If no one really took a fancy to this bowl in the entire auction, Nan Shutong would give 2,000 yuan to accept this bowl, and the right to do good deeds should be done.

"Haha, Mr. Ma, this price is already very fair." A treasure connoisseur in his fifties who was drinking tea slowly put down the teacup. said with a smile: "You bowl, do you want to auction it here?" ”

In fact, this expert is also reminding Mr. Ma very vaguely, if you really want to sell. Sell it here, even if you sell it at the lowest price, you can make a lot of money. Wait out of the door of this treasure hall, don't say two thousand. I'm afraid that no one will want to do it for five hundred.

This time. It's rare for Uncle Nan to find out with his conscience.

Mr. Ma's face was cloudy for a while, and he seemed to be very undecided, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Two thousand is two thousand, let's auction it here......"

It can be seen that Mr. Ma is not the kind of stupid person, and he knows it very well. If you don't auction it here, I'm afraid you won't be able to get two thousand yuan. Although it's not something of its own. But the relative was anxious to wait for the money. In the eyes of people in the city, 2,000 yuan is only the money for a meal, not even enough for a meal, and it is left in a remote mountainous area, but it is enough for a family of several people to live for a year.

In other words, for his relative, two thousand dollars was an astronomical amount.

"Okay, then auction on the spot."

Uncle Nan smiled and seemed to feel that Mr. Ma had made the right decision.

The male host hurriedly picked up the miscellaneous jade bowl, put it on the auction table on the side, knocked on the small hammer, cheered up, and said: "There is a miscellaneous jade bowl in the former Han Dynasty, the starting price is two thousand, and the price increase shall not be less than two hundred each time!" The auction is now open! ”

In the huge multi-purpose hall, there was once again a burst of laughter.

Many of the distinguished guests here are old birds, and have participated in several treasure appraisal conferences, and it is the first time that such low-grade antiques have been auctioned at the treasure appraisal conference.

Two thousand?

In the eyes of these big bosses, is 2,000 yuan also money?

The male host couldn't help but laugh. As the master of ceremonies, he naturally tried his best to make the atmosphere of the treasure appraisal conference lively. It's just that now, if you want to rely on this tattered miscellaneous jade bowl to set off a climax tonight, I'm afraid I can't catch it.

He has the ability to create an atmosphere, but it is difficult for a clever daughter-in-law to cook without rice!

"Ladies and gentlemen, although this miscellaneous jade bowl is not a treasure, but it is also a very authentic antique, Mr. Nan Shutong personally appraised, the antiquities of the Qin and Han dynasties, two thousand yuan is really not very expensive, please bid enthusiastically......"

Seeing that there was no VIP bid below, the male host was also helpless, so he had to say so.

If there is no one to bid, I am afraid that the auction will be lost.

"Okay, I'll give you two thousand!"

A lady in the VIP seat 16 held up the sign in her hand, her face full of sympathy.

It seems that many VIPs and Uncle Nan have the same thoughts, isn't it just 2,000 yuan? Think of it as helping others and doing good deeds.

"Good, great, thank you for the generous lady at Table Sixteen! Two thousand dollars, is there a higher price than two thousand dollars? Have it? Two thousand dollars for the first time ......"

The male host shouted loudly, and the small hammer in his hand was raised, as if he was ready to smash it down at any time, ending today's treasure appraisal conference.

"Two thousand five!"

Just after the male host called out "two thousand yuan for the second time", someone finally made another bid.

It's still that lazy male voice, with self-righteous elegance.

Lai Luo!

After being slapped hard by Yuan Qianqian, Li Shao actually shot again. Could it be that Li Shao wanted to rely on this small miscellaneous jade bowl to save the face he had just lost?

If that's the case, it's a bit too difficult.

"Three thousand!"

Sure enough, as soon as Li Luo's voice fell, someone immediately offered a higher price, and added five hundred in one go.

Li Luo turned his head and swept towards the No. 31 VIP seat, sparks splashing in his eyes.

Under Li Shao's vicious gaze, Xiao Fan's face was calm, and he slowly put down the brand in his hand, and looked at Li Luo's fire-breathing eyes, as if he didn't see it at all. (To be continued......)
