Chapter 11 Growing New Bamboos

It is a piece of jadeite from the glass of the old pit, the texture is delicate and pure, the naked eye can see no flaws, and the heavy emerald color seems to be dripping down in the next second, although it is only a brand the size of half a palm, but this piece of raw material alone is enough to make the finale of this auction.

And this brand is not an ordinary Buddha statue or a pod, but a piece of Hsinchu carved out of a sparse and clear way, and the whole brand has also been cultivated into a big tree along the original shape of the stone, and the knife technique is like flowing water, so that people can feel the vigorous vitality of Hsinchu at a glance.

What shocked Lin Ran was the bookmark placed next to it, on which were written two ancient poems in block letters-

In front of the bridge, there is a new bamboo.

Seeing that she was puzzled, the woman who took away the first Hetian jade rough stone explained in a low voice: "This is Master Fang's habit, and the source of inspiration will be attached to the work to prevent anyone from interpreting it randomly." ”

These two poems are precisely the origin of Lin Ran's father's name for her.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Lin Ran thought dizzily, came back to her senses and saw the woman next to her looking at her interestingly, and said with a smile: "The first time I saw Master Fang's work with my own eyes, it was really ingenious. ”

The auctioneer is also appreciated by everyone, and there is no intention of urging at all. Mo Zhizhu bought raw materials, and he was not very interested in the things that had been carved, but he just glanced at it twice, and saw that Lin Ran's expression was wrong, and when he connected to the two ancient poems, he had a guess in his heart.

When Lin Ran was adjusting his mentality so that he could pay more attention to how high this pendant could get, he heard Mo Zhi whisper in his ear: "Want it?" ”

The heat blew her ears itching, and the slightly raised tone was like a small hook scratching a certain string in her heart, making Lin Ran not know why she had a feeling of restlessness.

"Not really," Lin Ran sat a little farther away quietly, "It's the first time I've seen such a good carver, so I looked at it twice more if I was curious." ”

said that she didn't want to be fake, but she still knew what price Fang Chi's work could fetch for her, and it was no less than astronomical for her as a student, even if she wanted to, she could only stay at the level of thinking.

After everyone finished appreciating it, the auctioneer quoted the starting price: "Laokeng glass pendant, the starting price is 800,000 yuan." ”

"Nine hundred thousand!"

"One million and one million!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed to start a fierce bidding, and it seemed that they would pass by this jewelry a second late.

The Xia family had no interest in jadeite at all, and couldn't help but shake their heads at this time: "800,000 yuan is enough to collect a piece of material larger than this, it really deserves to be Master Fang's thing." ”

In a moment, this pendant has been auctioned for 8.53 million, which has more than ten times compared with the starting price, and the tightest bite is the woman who has just solved Lin Ran's confusion and an old man who has been silent before, the woman frowned and thought about it, and finally made a gesture of giving up.

The auctioneer called out with a calm face: "Eight million five hundred and thirty thousand." ”

"Eight million five hundred and thirty thousand twice."

"Eight million five hundred and thirty-three ......"

Just a second before the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, Mo Zhi suddenly interrupted him with a voice-

"Ten million."

He didn't care what others thought about his genius pen first, but first turned Lin Ran to look at him violently.

Then he twisted the tendon on his neck, and he didn't want to behave too much, so he had to lower his head and try to control his expression not to be too hideous, while raising his hand to rub his poor neck.

I really don't know if Mo Zhi is crazy again, or if there is any benefit to this cui that no one else can see, but anyway, if he does it again next time, she will, she's-

She is going to take advantage of the next Chinese New Year to go to Beijing to sue Grandpa Mo!

The number of 10 million is called out, even if this is Fang Chi's work, it can be regarded as a very high price.

A few years ago, a female star brought out a jade Buddha card the size of a child's palm, with a head and feet, and the color is also positive, and the conservative estimate is only 45 million.

Compared to this work, it can't be said that it is not worth it, but if you want to compete with each other at a higher price, it is not very cost-effective for these buyers who may buy it back just to increase their investment. And Mo Zhi's performance is elusive, Yun lightly shouted out such a price, no one knows whether he will keep raising the price, or if he will give up decisively after the next price increase, if he really wants this thing, let alone consider the problem of cooperation with him in the future, just in terms of financial resources, no one here can compare to him.

Lin Ran knew in her heart that Mo Zhi really wanted to auction this pendant, it was by no means a whim, let alone a support for the auction and raised the price.

As for what it was for, Lin Ran quietly rolled her eyes, based on the psychological shadow caused to her by Mo Zhi in the past, she couldn't figure it out if she wanted to break her head, and of course she didn't want to figure out the reason for this.

After a short silence, the old man continued to bid: "One thousand and fifty thousand." ”

This old man has been 55,000 yuan from the very beginning of the auction, and he is obviously an insider in the auction house, but at this price, he continued to follow, and the rest of the people muttered in their hearts, is there really some unknown mystery in this pendant, is it worth these two bigwigs to compete here?

Everyone naturally didn't dare to ask the cold-hearted Second Master Mo, and the old man seemed to be a heavyweight, and the people around him were very respectful to him, and no one dared to ask him why he was obsessed with taking that piece of jewelry.

Mo Zhi's face did not move, and he continued to follow: "Eleven million." ”

This time it directly added nearly one million, and even Lin Ran, a layman, felt that this increase was a bit outrageous, so while other people's attention was not on him, he gently pulled the cuffs of La Mozhi under the cover of a large piece of coat sleeves, wanting to remind him that it was enough to stop.

After all, the Mo family's grandmother is a person who never likes high-priced luxuries, and it's okay for Mo Zhi to buy stone carvings by himself, if he takes this pendant back to the old man, Mo Zhi is afraid that he will not have to be nagged for at least two or three months.

But I didn't want Mo Zhi to clasp her hand with his backhand, and pinched it soothingly, and his face was still the same unwavering old look, as if he was just a stranger who spent a lot of money to shoot a piece of jadeite that was no longer too cost-effective.

The man's body temperature always felt half a degree higher than her own, and although the temperature of the indoor air conditioner was not very high, the hand that was held was slowly getting hot. The partiality of Mo Zhi did not have the slightest intention of letting go, and Lin Ran was afraid that he would be discovered if he made a big move, so he fell into a dilemma for a while.

When she tried to pull her hand out by various means, the price had already been shouted to twelve million, and this time the old man sighed and shook his head after a long silence, and finally signaled to give up.

The last one is a jade carved Buddha statue, an old object, and it is also a treasure worth collecting.

It's a pity that everyone doesn't seem to have recovered from the fierce bidding between the two just now, and they don't know whether they haven't found the mystery on the pendant, and the enthusiasm for the auction is obviously not as good as just now, and finally this Buddha statue was auctioned at a fairly low price.

After the auction was dispersed, no one was in a hurry to leave, but chatted in twos and threes, and the head of the Xia family also got up and sat next to the woman who had photographed the statue of Haihuang Guanyin before, and the two seemed to be old acquaintances, chatting very warmly.

Seeing that the position of the head of the Xia family was vacant, two people who had business dealings with the Mo family sat down boldly, trying to greet Mo Zhi with a flattering smile, and at this time, Lin Ran finally withdrew his hand.

The tea party after the end of the show is the main event, the previous auction is just a convenient opportunity for everyone present to open the conversation, although at first glance everyone is just chatting, but as long as you have the heart, you can hear the countless secrets of the city's high circles.

Usually at such times, she will maintain a proper smile and sit next to the elders, which not only satisfies her desire to gossip, but also fulfills her task as a qualified vase.
