Huayi Auction House is an old brand in Nanjing, I have been to see it a few times before, in vain trying to auction a few treasures in the store, but every time I am humiliated by the frightening high price of others.

When Uncle Dao and I went, there were already a lot of people, and even a few media, it seemed that there was indeed a treasure to show up today, I smashed Uncle Dao with my elbow and asked him if he had enough money to bid, after all, from the current situation, the competitive pressure of that half of the painting is still quite large.

How do you know that Uncle was very relaxed, he pointed to the poster on the bulletin board at the door and said: "If that half-scroll painting is under great competition pressure, will you not even make a poster?" ”

I looked at the poster and found that all the layouts were given a chair, so I smiled and asked Uncle what the chair was about, it looked quite good.

Uncle Dao glanced at me and said, "The dragon chair, Lord Qianlong has sat on." I couldn't help but be speechless, closed my mouth and walked in with Uncle Dao.

The bidders at the auction are dressed in yellow, white, black and brown skins, speaking the words of the southeast and northwest, and they may include the CEOs of multinational groups, the political elites who influence the current situation, and the famous masters at the helm of the art world......

Uncle Dao and I filled out the form, paid the deposit, and walked to the venue with the number plate. Along the way, my head was attracted by the various famous paintings and calligraphy hanging on both sides of the promenade along the way, and I kept swaying from side to side doing irregular movements.

As I walked, I stumbled upon a man standing behind a bronze tripod display case, with his back to me, shaking his head as if he were selling a similar bronze cup to a group of people gathered in front of him.

I couldn't see his face, but his body looked familiar—a leather jacket, a fat body, a tagged head...... it! Isn't this the fat bear who cheated me out of my money!

I thought to myself that the sky really has eyes, yesterday I went to his lair to find him, and found that the building had already been empty, and when I asked, I realized that the house was rented by him temporarily, and I ran away after defrauding the money, and I didn't want to meet here today!

I rolled up my sleeves angrily, rushed up with an arrow and patted him on the shoulder, and the fat bear turned his head with a smile: "Do you want Lao Tie?" Sell cheaply! ”

When the four eyes met, the fat bear's smile suddenly became reluctant, and he said, "No...... You don't need to thank me in person, it is the duty of the poor to help the world and save people. ”

I was so angry that I scolded: "I thank you uncle!" Sell the straw paper to me as rune paper and play Lao Tzu like a fool? Also light a candle in the southeast corner every night? Why don't you order it at your own house! Pay back the money quickly, 100,000 yuan is not less. ”

The fat bear made a pause gesture, and said without hurrying or slowing: "Lao Tie, this is your fault, it was you who begged me to give you a robbery to leak that day." You see that you don't have anything good now, which means that you have succeeded in crossing the catastrophe, and I am afraid that it is a little unkind to unload the mill and kill the donkey as soon as you succeed, right? ”

I was so angry with him that I didn't know how to refute it, thinking that I was really stupid enough to fall for this crappy warlock, and now I might not be able to get a bargain even if I take him to court. In frustration, Uncle Dao walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, the auction is about to start, let's go in quickly." ”

I glared at the fat bear fiercely and followed Uncle Dao in, when I first entered the door, my heart was still rubbing, so I quietly turned around and took out my mobile phone to take a picture of the guy, and I thought about finding Zheng Tian next time and calling a few friends on the road to make him a meal, not afraid that he would not pay back.

How do you know that Cao Cao Cao arrived, thinking about Zheng Tian, Zheng Tian, this kid is really here today, no wonder, he is doing treasure hunting archaeological TV shows, and the dragon chairs have appeared at this auction, if he doesn't come, he really can't get along with the ratings, it is estimated that the meeting they held a few days ago was also for this.

At that time, I saw him standing next to a cameraman with a briefcase to discuss the scheduling of the scene camera, so I walked over and said hello to him, Zheng Tian looked a little surprised, with a disbelieving expression as if to say Where did you get the money to bid?

In fact, I really didn't have any money, so I turned around and prepared to introduce Uncle Dao to him. But the strange thing is that for some reason, his expression was a little cramped when he saw Uncle Dao, and he almost dropped the bag, but Uncle Dao seemed very natural, and took the initiative to go up to shake hands with a smile, and Zheng Tian came to his senses.

I decided to wait until the auction was over and then ask Zheng Tian to help solve the liar's matter, so I said goodbye and sat down with Uncle Dao first.

After about three minutes, to my surprise, the fat bear also moved his fat body into the arena, and the seat number was right next to us, and there was only Uncle Dao between him and me.

The fat bear was obviously surprised by this coincidence, and he shook his head helplessly, sat down, and beckoned to me very unnaturally: "It's really fate." I secretly snorted: "It's right to have a grudge!" ”

When the auction began, it was so anxious that I couldn't breathe. The local tyrants seem to regard bidding as some kind of fun, climbing each other, and no one will let anyone, as if banknotes are worthless in their eyes.

Collection No. 1 is a bronze vessel from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with a starting price of 700,000 yuan, and with the rising prices, the collection was finally purchased by a Hong Kong man for 2 million. This should be considered a good start, or a small warm-up.

After that, there were calligraphy and paintings, pottery, sculptures and even official seals in the collection, and the prices ranged from hundreds of thousands to several millions, and the continuous cries made people feel like they were coming to the vegetable market.

Because I haven't appeared for a long time, I don't know what kind of status the half volume of ancient paintings that my uncle said has a major relationship with our canons in today's auction, and I feel that everyone's attention is all on the dragon chair that is about to start shooting. No one paid attention to it, and I even felt a little lost when I thought about it.

"Wow! This chair is spacious enough, I can sit just right for the fat man, and it will not be wasted at all. The fat bear stared straight at the next baby to appear, Qianlong's rosewood lacquer heart inlaid with flower throne, and at the same time, the flashing lights on the field and the clicking sound reached a climax.

In the past, most of the Qing Dynasty inlaid works were small objects such as pen holders and arm rests, and the dragon chair decorated with "Hundred Treasure Inlays" was the first time to appear. This chair was originally placed in the Forbidden City for Emperor Qianlong to rest in his later years, and when Puyi fled from the Republic of China, he took away some of the treasures of the Forbidden City, including this throne inlaid with red sandalwood. Uncle Dao said slowly.

It seems that today is going to open my eyes, and I stared intently at the stage, "The starting price is 30 million!" Let's see who will be lucky enough to take this unparalleled throne away. ”

As soon as the reserve price came out, there was a stirring in the audience, and everyone whispered at the bottom, after all, it was not a small amount, and no one dared to respond to the price for a while, and after about five minutes, someone finally asked for 30 million, and then someone raised the price to 31 million and 32 million. After three rounds of bidding, the dragon chair was sold by a buyer from Beijing for 32 million hammers.

"Hey, I bought a dragon chair and went back, I want to be the emperor again!" The fat bear muttered to himself.

I glanced at him with disdain and mocked: "It is estimated that there is still a lack of eunuchs to serve, if you don't go with it, make sure you make a lot of money and never have to come out to cheat again." ”

The fat bear squinted his eyes: "It seems that this little brother is an experienced person who knows how to be a eunuch and wait for people to get money." ”

I almost wanted to slap it when I heard it, but I was stopped by Uncle Dao.

At this time, the last piece of the auction was the half of the painting that Uncle Dao said. At this time, some people have already left the scene, after all, the biggest suspense has been revealed, and the rest is irrelevant to them. But the strange thing is that when I looked around, I found a few foreigners sitting there who had never bid before, like a log, without saying a word, which is a bit unusual, are they not interested in the previous collection?

Suddenly, my eyes were fixed on a man sitting in the center of the auction room, wearing a white tunic and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and I recognized him at a glance: it was the director of the Zanglongshan Mental Hospital! Beside him sat a young woman wearing a black beret.

I have a vague feeling of strangeness in my heart, it seems that there are quite a few acquaintances here today. At this time, Zheng Tian's commander passed by me, and I hurriedly patted him and gestured to him with my eyes to the old acquaintance in white in the back row.

Zheng Tian glanced at it, and looked very surprised, and thought to himself for a long time, just about to say something to me, the director was already urging him to go over to see the shooting situation, so he waved the mobile phone in his hand and asked me to contact him after the auction was over.

After Zheng Tian left, Uncle Dao jerked my sleeve and said, "It's time for us to play." ”

"The next piece in the collection is the writer's landscape painting "Seven Appointments" by Li Daoyuan of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, due to historical reasons, the other half of the painting has been lost, and now it is open for auction in half a volume, with a starting price of three million."

The fragment was framed in a not-so-high-end photo frame, and when I heard the name Li Daoyuan, I muttered a little in my heart, because although Li Daoyuan was a famous geographer and writer, he did not have any attainments in painting, and I had never heard of any of his paintings handed down, and in terms of appearance, this half of the painting really didn't look like a bull fork guy who could change the fortunes of the country.

At this time, the fat bear on the side also muttered in a low voice: "This goods are worth three million? Whoever shoots it is a fool, and it is estimated that it will be missed. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the fat bear's voice fell, there was a shout beside me: "Three and a half million" I turned my head and glanced at Uncle Dao, so I whispered to Uncle Dao: "Uncle, the fat man scolded you for being a fool just now." ”

The fat bear straightened up in embarrassment, and said to Uncle Dao embarrassedly: "Don't go to your heart, I know that you are rich and willful." ”

But something unexpected happened a few seconds later.

"Seven million." A call suddenly came from a corner in the back row of the venue, which directly raised the price. The people on the field turned their heads to look back.

"Hey, are these Yankees the real fools?" Fat Bear shook his head at a few sunglasses Americans in the back row.

Hearing the bidding, Uncle Dao's brows frowned a little, but he quickly relaxed and shouted calmly: "Seven and a half million." ”

I tugged at Uncle Dao's sleeve and asked him if he knew where those blue eyes came from, and if it was the same group of people who chased us at the airport last time, Uncle Dao shook his head and was noncommittal.

"Nine million." As soon as this bid came out, the audience immediately became agitated, because this bid had long exceeded the actual value of the collection.

"The Japanese are still coming." After Uncle Dao said something meaningfully, he raised the number plate and raised the asking price directly to 10 million.

I was stunned, first of all, I wondered how Uncle Dao knew that they were Japanese, and secondly, I was worried about whether Uncle Dao had so much money to pay, so I reminded him in a whisper: "Uncle Dao...... Don't borrow money from me, don't borrow it from me, I only have enough money for lunch. ”

"Don't worry, it's a big deal to mortgage the cup." Uncle Dao patted me on the shoulder and smiled slightly.

I gasped.

"Eleven million!" The American in the back row shook his fingers and said resolutely.

As soon as Uncle Dao was about to ask for a price, I covered his mouth with my hand and said eagerly: "Uncle Dao, you are crazy, this price is no longer normal!" ”

Uncle Dao completely ignored my obstruction, shook off my hand, and shouted: "Twelve million! ”。

The fat bear was dumbfounded when he heard this, looked at Uncle Dao in surprise and said, "The one sitting next to my fat man is the God of Wealth!" ”

I glanced at the fat bear and deliberately teased: "Fatty, I haven't seen you bidding now, you won't be here to make soy sauce, right?" Why don't you raise the price to break 20 million for this treasure? ”

The fat bear chuckled a few times and said confidently, "Haven't you looked down?" My fat man came here for a reason. ”

"Twenty million!" At this time, a woman's voice suddenly appeared, did it really break 20 million? With the shouting of this price, the audience immediately fell silent and looked at which god it was.

I glanced back and saw that it was the young woman sitting next to the director of the mental hospital. The woman's expression was calm, and she looked a little cold and arrogant.

Hearing this offer, several Americans in the back seat whispered to each other a few times, and then hurried away with their bags in their pockets. After a while, the Japanese also appeared. Uncle Dao looked in the back row, and I told Uncle Dao that the middle-aged man sitting next to the woman was the dean who had conducted the experiment on me last time.

After hearing this, Uncle Dao patted me on the shoulder and smiled slightly: "Put the things on them first, let's go." ”

Although I haven't figured out what Uncle Dao means, I don't feel like I need to ask too much, so I followed Uncle Dao out first.

"Twenty million for the first time...... 20 million second ...... 20 million for the third time, deal! "As I walked out the door, I heard the sound of the auctioneer dropping the hammer.
