My name is Yan Shunlu, and I am about to participate in my first auction......

I don't practice today, at least for a while, I won't be cultivating for a while, although there are many benefits of cultivation, but I won't practice again until I find an energy solution, I don't want to become a dry corpse, although life is unsatisfactory, but as the saying goes: it's better to die than to live, isn't it.

I've only heard of the auction, but this is the first time I've participated in it, so I think it's better to dress formally, and I can't always wear a T-shirt and cropped pants like usual. Take out casual trousers and a short shirt from the closet, turn out leather shoes to change into, and wait for Chen Cheng to come over to meet him.

Sure enough, Chen Cheng also changed into formal clothes, but the others were privately customized, and mine was an ordinary outfit.

"Where's the auction today?" As soon as I got in the car, I asked him.

"I don't know, let's meet Brother Hua first. But it's definitely not a big company today, and I haven't heard any movement from those companies. Chen Cheng said affirmatively.

I just asked casually, it is said that there are a lot of routines in the auction company, the big companies are more formal, the things are corrected, there are professional appraisals and fidelity, and there are fewer nurseries in the auction house. In private auctions, most of the things come from the wrong way, although there is an appraisal certificate, but that one does not have any authority, just give money. There are many childcare and the price is generally inflated. But these have nothing to do with me, anyway, it's just to see and open my eyes. As for what Brother Hua said that he would pay, it was just a polite sentence, and I wouldn't take it seriously.

Today, Chen Cheng did not drive to the golf club, but drove to the villa area of a high-end community. was stopped at the door, and the people living inside were either rich or noble, and the security was very strict.

"Brother Hua, it's at your door, come out, the doorman won't let you in." Chen Cheng made a phone call with Brother Hua.

"He'll be there soon, I'm in a hurry today, let's go to the auction first." Chen Cheng turned around and explained to me.

"It's fine." I didn't want to go in and visit, and even though I have 30 million now, the houses here are still not within my reach.

Without much effort, Brother Hua came out and drove a Lincoln. "Put your car in front of you, and change to my car."

"Okay." Chen Cheng followed and drove the car out.

went to the parking lot of the community to put the car there, and sat in Brother Hua's car together.

"Brother, I'm sorry today, hurry up and go back to my house to sit down." As soon as I got in the car, Brother Hua said to me apologetically.

"Brother Hua is polite." I responded politely.

"But there are a lot of good things today, so I just have to say it." Brother Hua said to me while driving.

"Don't mind, I'll just take a look." I can't take it seriously when others are polite to me.

"But it's the company's auction today, huh? Several large companies have not seen any movement. Chen Cheng asked.

"Big companies are preparing for autumn auctions, and they are the ones today, but they are the subsidiaries below, and they are also regular companies, so don't worry." Brother Hua said.

"Now they are all calligraphy and painting, porcelain, like other miscellaneous items are not so popular, so I will put the following subsidiary to deal with it, and it is estimated that the expensive ones are only a few jewelry and jade valuables, and the others are at most a few million." Brother Hua said disappreciatively.

Rich people are different, millions are just numbers for them. I secretly said to myself, although I have 30 million now, this few million is not a small amount for me.

Brother Hua drove straight to Poly~, as a well-known auction company in China, Poly's quality is still guaranteed.

"Now the collection market is getting more and more detailed and the classification is clearer. There will be another one later, which is miscellaneous, so you can take a look at this favorite straight talk first. Brother Hua said and handed over an auction booklet, which listed the introduction of the collections that will be auctioned today.

Anyway, it's boring, so I took it and looked at it, and the front was full of jewelry, jadeite, sapphire, etc., shining under the lens of a professional photographer. The things in the back are not so eye-catching, snuff bottles, paperweights, ancient coins, and ancient swords, etc., spanning a lot.

Nothing particularly appealed to me, so I looked through it and threw it to Chen Cheng.

"Brother Hua, what are you talking about?" Although I didn't want anything, I was still a little curious about the good things in his mouth.

"Later, I folded it a little." Brother Hua said.

It seems that he is particularly interested. Chen Cheng turned to that page, I leaned over and took a look, which made me smile bitterly, Brother Hua really regarded me as a master, a Qing Dynasty compass...... I see that the instructions are very well made, but I don't need it.

"Brother Hua, are you ...... I never use this. I said with a wry smile.

"It is said that it was used by the master, and it is spiritual." Brother Hua thought I was disgusted.

"No, I won't use it. You're flattering the blind. ”

"Oh, it seems that the brother has another trick?" It seems that I can't convince him, he has already decided that I am a "master", and I have a unique secret skill, God knows what he has made up in his brain......

I ended the topic, and the car arrived at its destination, so I entered the venue after a brief identity check. To be honest, the auction was actually quite boring, especially for me, there was nothing I desperately wanted, what I wanted was not something I could afford, and I couldn't appreciate the so-called beauty of design at all. But it's kind of interesting to watch them fight for me off the field.

Just when I was drowsy, the auctioneer asked for a piece of the collection, which I did not hear clearly, but I felt a strange mental fluctuation, and the source of this fluctuation was the lot 21 on the stage, a jade carving. I hurriedly looked through the auction brochure in my hand, which had a detailed introduction: a piece of imitation Zigang jade plate at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the material is not too good, it is a bean seed, but the carving is quite good, and it belongs to the folk boutique.

I was in a good spirit, and this piece of jade could cause my mental fluctuations, and maybe it was the source of energy I was trying to find. At least in Taoist culture, there are often things like jade slips, which may contain some kind of energy, which is also my conjecture after chatting with Goliath before, but after wandering around a few jade shops and finding nothing, I let go of this idea, and unexpectedly came across this kind of jade here. As for its carving, it doesn't matter to me, I don't have that level of appreciation anyway.

I really want to win this jade plate, and I happen to have a little money in my hand, so I should be able to win it, and the starting price is not too high, only 80,000 yuan.

I took the sign from Brother Hua's hand and began to raise the sign for the first time, "No. 158 bid 85,000 yuan. The auctioneer said when he saw me holding up his sign.

"You like this? I'll take it for you. Brother Hua said with a sigh of relief, maybe he felt that he had found a way to get closer to the "master".

"Thanks, I look at this thing interestingly. Feel free to give it a try. "I didn't tell the truth.

After all, this is a personal secret, and it may still be a bit shocking to say it. But it's definitely not like I said.

"Okay, Mr. 84 bid 90,000." Then the auctioneer said.

"Since you're interested, I'll take it for you. I said it before I came. As he spoke, Brother Hua took the sign from my hand and raised the price increase.

"This gentleman bid 100,000." The auctioneer's dutiful bidding.

I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people in this jade card, and the price went to 300,000 after a while, and there were many fewer buyers at this time, and only 5 people were still fighting.

Brother Hua still keeps raising the price, it seems that he is determined to help me win this jade card.

At this time, the price had come to 370,000, and I stopped Brother Hua from raising his card, "No need, I'm just curious." Not necessarily. ”

"It's okay, it's just a little money." Brother Hua said disapprovingly, he thought I was afraid that the price would be too high, and he was embarrassed to accept it.

"It's not about the money, it's about the fact that this thing isn't worth the price." I looked around and whispered in my ear.

I don't know much about collecting, but I know that at present, the domestic master carved a piece of Zigang card of the same size is more than 200,000 yuan, and the materials are better than this late Qing Dynasty lot, counting the historical value, etc., the price is considered to be the top in the early 30s, and now the price of Ben 4 is obviously overflowing a lot, I suspect that there is a nursery in the snatching up, especially when I see Brother Hua's posture every time, of course, it is not excluded that there is a mallet or a collector who is particularly fond of it.

"It's worth it if you like it." Brother Hua replied to me briefly and forcefully.

I nudged Chen Cheng, and he said understandingly, "Brother, there's no need, this piece of material is not too good, it's better to choose another day." ”

At the same time, I also held down Brother Hua's hand to raise the card again to increase the price.

At this time, the auctioneer also dropped the hammer, and finally sold it at a price of 410,000 yuan.

Brother Hua just gave up, "Then go back and help you find a good piece." ”

"I'm also having fun, it's not necessary." I pretended not to care.

I was a little reluctant in my heart, but since I found that jade might be a power stone for cultivation, I didn't have to worry. Just go back and look for it, since there is one, there will definitely be a second. However, I had never noticed such fluctuations in the jade shop before, and it was a little strange, including the white jade cup from Goliath, which I had not felt either.

There is no urgency in this matter, and I can slowly discover the secrets.

Soon the auction of jewelry and jade came to an end, followed by the auction of some miscellaneous items. I'm just bored waiting for the end of the auction, anyway, I'm just a companion, but Brother Hua took a tanzanite pendant, probably for a confidante.

Chen Cheng was also not interested in this, but in the miscellaneous lot he also bought a Swiss watch, Wanguo, some years old, but very well preserved. I don't know if this kid still has this hobby.

Soon the auction came to an end, and it was immediately the last batch of lots, and of course, the compass that Hua Ge paid special attention to. However, despite my strong opposition, Hua Ge still did not auction this lot.

But then something caught my attention, the manual said that this is a small sword, modern handicrafts, but the shape is simple, imitating the Han eight-sided sword, the sword body has a quenched blue pattern and a special pattern of 100 steel. The price is a little expensive, 3,000.

As far as I know, the more collectible cold weapon of similar specifications in modern times is the Zhongzheng Sword, the Zhongzheng Sword is longer, and the one in good condition is about 1,000 yuan, and the price will be more expensive if it is used by a famous general, up to 50,000. The overall length of this lot is more than 30 centimeters, obviously the hilt is short and not suitable for holding, if magnified several times, it is reasonable, not so much a weapon is more like a handicraft, lack of practical value. The reason for the small size of the lot is the scabbard, which is richly decorated and set with several gemstones such as turquoise.

For this lot, there seems to be little interest, the scabbard and the sword body are a little inconsistent, it is not too much to say that it is fabricated, if it is not for the craftsmanship is not good, it is estimated that it will be difficult to put it on the auction shelves.

I tentatively raised my cards, but there was no competition, and the auctioneer was also excited to drop the hammer and make a deal. It is estimated that he was thinking that there was a mallet willing to take over the items that were originally unauctioned.

At this time, they were both complaining to me, "Why are you buying this?" Obviously fake! ”

"It's just, this thing is fake. Han-style sword with Qing-style scabbard, obviously mixed and matched, and this size, magnified several times to look like a real sword. ”

"Forget it, let's be a craft."

"Two, I'm just a layman, I will buy it if it looks good, and it's not expensive anyway. Besides, I don't think about it, after all, it's also owned by Poly, so it won't be fake, right? I said helplessly. Take a step back and say, you've all gained, and I can't go home empty-handed. ”

"That's right, but it's not bad in terms of this process, if it weren't for the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it would be estimated to be one or two hundred yuan. I'll pay for it for you later. Brother Hua nodded in agreement with my statement.

"You don't have to bother Brother Hua with this little money, I'll just do it myself." I thanked him politely for his kindness, "Besides, it will be a shame for you to spread the word that you bought this thing in your circle." ”

"That's okay, I don't fight with you, I just pay for it." Brother Hua said with a smile.

The things went smoothly, and the auction was not in vain. The two of them were dismissive of the little sword, but I couldn't put it down, and I played with it from time to time. What attracted me to photographing this little sword was not its exquisite craftsmanship, or the ornate scabbard, but an inexplicable attraction. It's like something makes people happy at the sight of it, and they can't help but want to get it in their pockets, otherwise where are there so many chopping parties?

And in that kind of auction environment, it is easy to make people want to buy, buy, buy, buy, especially when bidding, I didn't make a move before because I felt that there was no suitable thing, and I finally took a fancy to the jade brand and felt that it was not worth it, this small sword happened to be a thing, and the price was not outrageous. And I have a vague feeling that I have the most out of all the auctions today. This is a mysterious intuition, as if I was told in the dark that I must win this lot, otherwise I will miss the great opportunity, which has not appeared in the previous jade plate, but I just feel the fluctuation of mental power, but I do not have such a strong desire to take pictures.

Then he went to Brother Hua's mansion and sat for a while, enjoying the chef's skills specially invited by his family. It's just that I can't help but feel that rich people really enjoy it, ordinary people want to eat such a big meal to go to a high-end restaurant, and they can enjoy it at home, the most important thing is that they use seemingly ordinary materials, but after asking, I know that this is not the case, the water used is the snow water on the top of Kunlun Mountain or the water of Yuquan Mountain, and the beef is also from the most essential part of the cow that is specially raised...... It is said that this beef costs 10,000 yuan a catty, and the so-called Japanese Wagyu beef is also a grade worse in front of this beef.

But these are the things of a boy like him, and I can only lament that poverty limits my imagination. My mind is still on today's harvest, and when I get home in the afternoon, I play with this little sword carefully and find that this sword has another mystery......
