Chapter 221: Compare Eyes with Me
On the big screen, the details of the auction items have been displayed, and the auctioneer wearing a dress and a mustache stepped forward elegantly and began to speak.
"This set of seemingly ordinary tables and chairs is one of the tributes brought back by Zheng He from Western countries during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is made of extremely precious huanghuali wood, which has a history of more than 600 years......
The auctioneer on the stage recounted, and Cao Chong was unwilling to give up this opportunity to show himself, and said to Su Xue enthusiastically: "Su Su, this set of tables and chairs is called 'Nanyue Huanghuali', it is the Ming Dynasty Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, he ordered Zheng He to go to the West, travel around the world, and bring back the tribute from Vietnam, which is the table and chair of this pair of Huanghuali......"
Su Xue was not very interested in these, and even less interested in Cao Chong, so she just nodded occasionally out of politeness.
"Ah Fat, look at that person, it looks like a repeater, either it is something that people have said, or it is the introduction in the auction brochure, he can actually speak vividly, as if he is knowledgeable. β
Hearing the metaphor of the repeater, Su Xue covered her mouth and smiled, Tang Ze's voice made Cao Chong angry, and he turned back like lightning, but saw Tang Ze pointing in another direction, talking and laughing with Xu Bowen, and when he saw Cao Chong turning around, he smiled at him.
"Damn, this kid wants to ruin my relationship with Su Su, does he really think that he can be a fiancΓ© in this way?"
Cao Chong thought with a gloomy face, but with the auction bidding, he had to return his attention to the auction, after all, he also had a family task this time, to auction some good things and sell them back.
"One and a million three thousand. β
Someone on the first floor made a bid.
"One million and four hundred thousand. β
"One million five hundred and fifty thousand. β
"One million seven million. β
"One million eight million!"
With a burst of cheers, the scene fell silent for a while.
The auctioneer waited for three seconds, and then tapped the floor with his cane with great character.
"There is no bid, 1.8 million, one time. β
"One million and eight thousand, twice. β
"One million eight thousand, three times. β
"Deal!"
The cane tapped the floor again, then the auction table lowered again, and when it rose again, it was replaced by a round mahogany table.
However, this time the protagonist is not the table, but a pair of porcelain on the table.
Tang Ze noticed that when the Huanghuali was auctioned before, the first floor was bidding, and the people on the second floor were very calm.
And as soon as this pair of porcelain came out, the people on the second floor became serious.
The auctioneer's cane struck: "The starting price is 800,000." β
"Wow, what is this, a pair of bowls? The price starts at 800,000?"
"Even if it's porcelain from the former Qing Dynasty, is it so expensive?"
The people on the first floor are still hesitating, and the bigwigs on the second floor have already begun to bid.
"Eighty-five. β
"One hundred. β
"One hundred and one. β
The asking price exceeded the previous 1.8 million in almost minutes, and it is still rising.
The handsome man in white asked, "Brother Chong, what's so special about this bowl, why is it so expensive, tell us about it?"
Cao Chong glanced at Su Xue and found that she was also with a hint of interest, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and pretended to be deep and said, "What do you know, this is not a bowl, he is a pair of vases!"
"There is a saying in the porcelain world, called one side top ten circles, square ones are ten times more difficult to fire than round ones! This pair of square flower pots, the four directions are respectively painted 'Feiming food and lodging', meaning a soaring sky, a blockbuster and worry-free food and clothing, a rich and noble ......"
This time, Cao Chong didn't read according to the script, but took out dry goods, and sure enough, he won a lot of praise, and he couldn't help but become more and more proud: "I dare to say that the final price of this pair of flower pots should be around three million, but well, hehe, my family has a special sales channel, and I can earn three and a half million if I take it!"
Sure enough, as the price gradually increased, the intensity of the shouting gradually decreased, and the slower it became, and finally stayed at 1.6 million.
"Wow, Cao Gongzi deserves to be a family of antiques, the valuation is so accurate, a real connoisseur!"
The auctioneer hammered: "Three million and 1 million, one time." β
"Three million and one million, twice. β
"Three million and one millionβ"
Cao Chong smiled, ready to make a move, according to this price, he made a lot of money.
"Three and a half million!" an old and unfamiliar voice remembered, Cao Chong's heart flashed a hint of ominousness, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Tang Ze holding an auction card and smiling at him.
Cao Chong glared angrily: "Old man, what are you doing!"
Tang Ze shrugged his shoulders: "What are you doing, the auction will not allow you to buy things?"
Cao Chong continued to make trouble, but the auctioneer had already begun to count the seconds, and Cao Chong only had to endure his anger and raise his card again: "Three million and six million." β
"Three million seven million. Tang Ze didn't panic and killed it directly.
"You-"
Cao Chong looked at Tang Ze's confident appearance, and finally understood, he just gave everyone a reserve price of 3.5 million, and this slut heard it, so he actually followed this to top his price!
Tang Ze said lightly: "What's the matter, Young Master Cao wants it so much, and I'll give it to you if I top it again." β
The corners of Cao Chong's mouth twitched, it was originally a big profit to buy it for about 3.1 million, but now it has become 3.7 million, and the profit is eighty percent less!
But how could he lose to Tang Ze, an opportunistic man, he gritted his teeth and said: "Three million and eight hundred thousand!"
The audience looked at the two people who made the bid, I don't know what kind of hatred they have, don't take the money to get angry!
"In society, my brother Cao, people are stupid and have a lot of money!" Tang Ze arched his hand and withdrew the sign.
"Three million 8,000,000, deal!"
Cao Chong took a picture of something, but he didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, and said in his heart, old man, next time Lao Tzu won't say it, see what ability you have to continue to talk to Lao Tzu!
The next one on the scene is a Qianlong folding fan, with the inscription of Emperor Qianlong on one side and landscape paintings on the other, starting from 500,000.
After some bidding, the price hovered around one million, which was similar to Cao Chong's expectations, after all, he was a family of antiques, and he had done a long time of homework on the auctioned items before he came, and he was determined to get some things.
Cao Chong held up his card: "One hundred and fifty thousand." β
"One and a million three thousand. β
Cao Chong turned his head with an expression of eating on his face, and a pair of murderous eyes shot directly at Tang Ze.
Nima, this old man actually came to top him, why did it happen to be the highest price in his heart!
"One million and four million!"
Cao Chong clenched his fists, almost gritting his teeth and offering a higher price, on the other hand, Tang Ze actually smiled faintly at him and said, "No thanks!"
The next thing is really evil, more than a dozen auction items, as long as Cao Chong's family must buy them for the task, they will definitely be topped to the highest price by Tang Ze, and it does not exceed the ceiling of the price in his heart, but Cao Chong has no profit margin.
"Paralysis, what's the matter with this Tang Ze, it's difficult that he also has research on antiques?" Cao Chong secretly glanced at Su Xue, who also shook his head in surprise.
"I don't think it's possible, he just has aging disease, and he is actually an eighteen-year-old high school student, so he can't be more experienced than me!"
"He must just not be used to seeing me getting close to Su Xue and jealous of me, so he deliberately topped my price, as long as I made a move, he would top!"
Cao Chong thought hatefully.
Okay, old man, you think that light will top the price, and it's cool not to pay for it, right?
You wait, Lao Tzu will make you suffer!
