Chapter 39: The Trap Box

After more than ten seconds, seeing that no one raised the price anymore, the hostess began to shout:

"400,000 for the first time!"

"Four hundred thousand for the second time!"

"400,000 for the third time! Congratulations to this gentleman for winning Mark Jackson's signed CD for 400,000!"

Ye Qi paid 400,000 in cash, and looked very happy with the signed CD in both hands. Ye Tingting could only smile helplessly, her younger brother likes these things, and he doesn't care about things at home.

Next, several foreign handicrafts were auctioned one after another, and Song Aiguo and Liu Tianxiong also auctioned a few calligraphy and paintings.

"What we are going to auction next is an ancient box, the specific origin is unknown, everyone is welcome to come up and watch..."

Tang Yun stepped forward with great interest, Seinfeld saw that Tang Yun was interested and followed Tang Yun to the stage, Wang Yu naturally needless to say, he kept following Tang Yun closely.

Tang Yun picked up the ancient box and looked at it, this ancient box was square, and it felt very simple and unpretentious when you looked closely, without any ornamentation on the surface. At this time, there were a few people on stage with Tang Yun.

"Can you show me, young man?"

At this time, a white-haired old man about sixty or seventy years old looked at Tang Yun with a smile on his face and said.

"Please!" At the right time, Tang Yun handed the box to the old man.

The old man was very focused on studying this ancient box, and muttered: "Well, it's not simple, it's not simple..."

"Old Zhou, do you mean that this box is not simple?" a man beside the old man asked respectfully.

"Well, judging from its texture and pitch-black texture, the material of this ancient box should be wood, but this wood is as hard as steel. This should be a..."Zhou Lao said with a solemn face.

"I'm sorry everyone, but the time is up! If you are interested, please participate in the auction. ”

At this time, the beautiful hostess came over and interrupted everyone and said that there is a set time for the auction here.

Zhou Lao's words were interrupted before he finished speaking, and everyone walked off the stage a little unhappy.

"Okay, let's start bidding for this ancient box, the starting price is 50,000 yuan, and each bid must not be less than 1,000!"

After the host finished speaking, no one in the hall asked for a price, after all, they didn't know what this ancient box was, and it was not cost-effective to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a box.

"Fifty thousand!"

Tang Yun said lightly.

In fact, Tang Yun didn't know the origin of this ancient box, but just before stepping down, he subconsciously looked through this ancient box, and he saw that inside this ancient box was a folded piece of cloth! Tang Yun had heard of a kind of box called a trap box, in which the ancients often hid valuables.

Because of the time relationship, Tang Yun didn't look at this piece of cloth carefully, it seemed to be a map.

Could it be a treasure map?

Anyway, Tang Yun felt that this ancient box should not be simple.

"Brother Yun, are you interested in this ancient box?" Seinfeld asked as he looked at Tang Yun.

"yes, I think this ancient box has a sense of history. Tang Yun smiled indifferently.

Seinfeld rolled his eyes at Tang Yun, "Sense of history?" You go to the antique street and find anything for twenty or thirty yuan has a sense of history. However, he didn't stop Tang Yun, because at this time, someone started to bid again.

"Fifty-five thousand!"

It was Zhou Lao, who had just come to the stage with Tang Yun, who had just come to the stage with Tang Yun, and Zhou Lao at this time also had a faint expression, giving people the feeling that he was just shouting casually.

"Sixty thousand!"

Tang Yun said, and after speaking, he saw Zhou Lao looking at him, and Tang Yun nodded and smiled at him.

Zhou Lao also smiled back at Tang Yun, and said a price lightly: "Sixty-five thousand!"

"Seventy thousand!"

"Seventy-five thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

"Eighty-five thousand!"

...

Everyone in the hall looked at the old and young people with interest, Ye Tingting had also seen the box, and she didn't think there was anything special, she didn't know why Tang Yun was interested in this ancient box.

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

At this time, Zhou Lao quoted the latest price, in fact, 120,000 is his bottom line, although he knows that this is a trap box, but in terms of value, it is only 70,000 or 80,000 at most, but what he cares about is whether there is something hidden in it.

"Two hundred thousand!"

Tang Yun directly added 80,000, if the box was really a treasure map, then it didn't matter if the ten or 200,000 were the easiest for Tang Yun to get.

Zhou Lao frowned and hesitated, but decided to give up. 200,000 is far more than his bottom line, and it's not worth spending 200,000 to buy something that he doesn't know what it is.

Twenty seconds passed, and the host saw that Zhou Lao didn't increase the price again, and began to shout: "Is there anyone else who offers a higher price?"

"Two hundred thousand for the first time!"

"Two hundred thousand for the second time!"

"200,000 for the third time! Congratulations to this gentleman for winning this ancient box for 200,000!"

Tang Yun took Wang Yu to the backstage, Wang Yu opened the lockbox and took out 200,000 cash to the auction house, Tang Yun took the ancient box, and the transaction was completed.

Only then did Tang Yun smile, and now this trap box is mine. At the thought that there might be a treasure inside, Tang Yun was a little excited.

"Congratulations, I didn't expect the little brother to have such courage at such a young age, it's rare!"

Zhou Lao, who was bidding with Tang Yun just now, walked up to Tang Yun's side, clasped his hands into fists and said with a smile.

"Where is it! I hope Elder Zhou will forgive me for the offense just now!" Tang Yun also respectfully hugged his fists.

"Hehe, I don't know what the young man is called?" Zhou Lao looked at Tang Yundao with a smile on his face.

"Tang Yun, Tang of the Tang Dynasty, Yun of Baiyun. Tang Yun replied.

"Tang Yun, the name is good! I don't know why Xiao Tang is interested in this ancient box, and he is even willing to spend a high price of 200,000 yuan?"

"It's like this, I've actually seen similar boxes before. In my opinion, this should be a trap box. ”

Tang Yun groaned and said, as for what he had seen similar before, of course, he would have said it casually, if he hadn't known that there was something inside, he wouldn't have spent 200,000 yuan to buy such a broken box.

"Oh, do you know this is a trap box, it's not simple, it's not simple..."Zhou Lao looked at Tang Yun with some surprise, this trap box is not quite different from ordinary trap boxes, it can be said that it is much more complicated, I didn't expect this young man in front of him to have such eyesight at a young age.

"Old Zhou has won the award, but this mechanism box is a bit complicated, and the kid still needs more research and research. ”

"Well, if you have any difficulties, you can consult with me, I'm still quite interested in the contents of this box. Saying that, Zhou Lao handed a business card to Tang Yun.

Tang Yun took the business card and looked at it, Zhou Lao's business card seemed to be as private as Ye Tingting's.

Business cards are relatively simple, name and mobile number. Zhou Rendao, I think this is Zhou Lao's name.

The only difference is that there is a title on Zhou Lao's business card.

Antique Expert!
