Chapter 853: Zodiac Beast Head

Before the auction starts.

You can first see some of the antiques that will be auctioned at the fair.

Of course.

The most important thing is to handle the auction deposit in advance.

Zhang Yi and them, there are a total of five people in the line, and the proportion of the deposit can be paid according to their own needs. Fang Gang's main responsibility is to be responsible for security issues, Fang Xijing's role is to be a small follower, it must be Fang Wen who asked him to come over with Fang Gang to see the world. Therefore, the deposit for the two of them is 100,000 yuan per person.

The 100,000 is equivalent to an admission ticket, and of course, it will be refunded at the end of the auction.

Zhang Yi, Chen Shu and Yu Jingming clearly want to participate in the auction, and the deposit ranges from 3 million to 10 million, and the deposit is different, and it will be arranged in different areas.

The three of them did not hesitate, and they all went directly to the deposit of 10 million.

Since you are here, you naturally have to do something.

After this thing is settled.

Visited the antiques at the pre-fair fair.

A few people returned to the hotel.

Really good things must only appear at auctions, and they cannot be directly announced to the public at the fair. And after Zhang Yi and the others paid the deposit, they also got the auction catalogue of the Global Village Auction.

There are two in total.

One of them is the original, which is the auction catalogue that was previously established. The other one, which is relatively thin, is mostly some antiques that have been temporarily added to the auction.

As shown by Uncle Chen's gossip before.

In this auction, there is indeed one of the 12 zodiac animal heads of the Old Summer Palace.

The bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace was cast in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and was placed on the fountain of the Old Summer Palace after the casting was completed. During the war at the end of the Qing Dynasty, all of these antiques were scattered overseas and became the treasures of museums in other countries. However, later, through the efforts of people from all walks of life, the heads of the beasts returned one after another.

It's just that.

So far, the 12 zodiac animal heads of the Old Summer Palace have returned, and there are another 4, snake heads, chicken heads, dog heads and sheep heads are still in exile and do not know their whereabouts.

Now.

In the auction catalogue, Lot 39 is one of the 12 zodiac animal heads, the head of the sheep.

It has been shown that his whereabouts are unknown.

And this sheep head is from the collection of a large family overseas. In the nineties of the last century, this big family bought it from another family for 6.2 million!

Furthermore.

There are also Dunhuang murals, a batch of six plates. The ancient scrolls and scriptures of Dunhuang also have twelve volumes.

These antique relics are all priceless treasures for our hot summer.

……

Next.

The auction will take place throughout the day.

In previous years, it would even be carried out after 12 p.m. the next day.

The auction throughout the day, as usual, did show some nice antiques.

However, Zhang Yi was not interested in these, and Uncle Chen tried to sell some antiques, and he also gained something, but the harvest was far less than he imagined.

In the process of auctioning, the price of those highly famous antiques is indefinitely raised, so that the premium of antiques far exceeds the collection value it should have.

So.

Uncle Chen's final harvest was only based on some antiques worth several million.

It is mainly porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In particular, some blue and white glaze red and cloisonné enamel porcelain, only a set of Qing Dynasty Yongzheng period of the yellow ground blue and white dragon longevity pattern folding bowl, a set of two, more than 10 million transactions, the premium is so high, but this level of antiques, more than 10 million, is not much expensive.

Yu Jingming's side aimed at the 12 zodiac sheep heads in the Old Summer Palace, and seemed to be on the same page with several overseas businessmen, so he kept competing with them, and finally won the 12 zodiac sheep heads in the Old Summer Palace at a price of 92.47 million.

This matter will definitely become a piece of news tomorrow.

When the auction was successful, Yu Jingming came directly.

"Grandma, fight with Lao Tzu, no way!"

"It's something that is supposed to be our hot summer, so it should come back with me, how can there be any reason to continue to stay overseas and let you continue to speculate on it to earn profits?"

Truly.

As Yu Jingming said, many antiques in Yanxia have basically become a tool for some overseas capitalists to make money overseas.

Through a series of operations, the price of a thing is speculated, and their value is squeezed from these cultural relics over and over again.

At last.

When it becomes sky-high.

It was then bought by the merchants of the hot summer to appease the bad luck of these relics.

Sounds like a very ironic thing.

If there is no selfishness? Yu Jingming naturally has it, and after getting the head of the sheep, he will inevitably make headlines, which will be of great benefit to the two auction houses under him.

However, what Yu Jingming said just now was also from the heart.

For a whole day, Zhang Yi didn't make a move.

Of course, Uncle Chen didn't make a big move, because he understood that Zhang Yi came to the auction of Suderby Global Village this time for a purpose, and his purpose was to save people.

Human life matters.

Uncle Chen was naturally thinking about Zhang Yi.

After the afternoon auction.

The evening auction starts at 8 o'clock.

In between, there are two hours to eat and rest. So, when the auction ended in the afternoon, Zhang Yi and the others left the auction and returned to the hotel.

When you get to the hotel.

Zhang Yi happened to be near the hotel lobby and saw the greasy uncle.

He also carried a suitcase, as if he had just arrived in Lun, he did not speak English, and there was no translator, so it seemed very difficult to communicate with the hotel.

Seeing Zhang Yi, he was like being amnestied.

Zhang Yi went over, communicated with the hotel, and opened a room for the greasy uncle.

When going upstairs.

The greasy uncle sighed.

"Alas, I haven't been to school much, and it's so difficult to get out!"

I think that Uncle Greasy must have encountered a lot of obstacles in the process of coming to Lun City.

In fact, Zhang Yi's English is also at an average level.

Yu Jingming is a master, and there is no problem in communicating and talking about business.

Even, when I went back to the hotel, I came with a few overseas bosses to ask Yu Jingming to buy the sheep's head, and said that they would pay a price of 100 million.

Yu Jingming's foreign language operation made those people stunned for a moment, and then left in disgrace.

to the room.

Uncle Greasy asked.

"Xiao Yi, what's going on with the Buddha Bone Relic Pagoda?"

The reason why he came here in person was naturally worried about Cheng Hu's safety.

Uncle Chen has actually been investigating this matter all along.

He seems to have gotten the news from somewhere, so, he said directly.

"The Buddha Bone Relic Stupa is tonight, and it is said that it is likely to be a direct auction at the beginning of the evening! We have to arrive in advance when the time comes, and after the auction starts, we will definitely be able to take it down! ”

Zhang Yi nodded affirmatively.

He also said.

"Third uncle, rest assured! That thing is Ah Hu's life, no matter what the price is, I will definitely take it! ”

The greasy uncle nodded slightly.

"I understand, Xiao Yi...... At this time, I don't know how to contribute to Ah Hu, so I sold the Chinese Medicine Hall in Beicheng, I know that that antique is extraordinary, not tens of millions can be taken down, but I hope that tens of millions can play a little role......"

The greasy uncle's words, as he spoke, were a little choked.
