Chapter Forty-Nine: Money Makes Many People Stupid
After chatting about Shen Xiang and Qiu Nuo's faces, the auction has been carried out for more than half of the time, Qiu Nuo has a full row of collections in front of him, and the person next to Wei Youcheng is still sitting motionless next to him, without Wei Youcheng's competition, Shen Xiang has passed all the way, and he is the biggest winner in today's auction.
"Brother, I don't like this kid, let him win like this today, I feel very aggrieved." Xiao Lianshan said unconvinced.
"Hehe, what do you want?" I asked with a smile.
"Anyway, I panic when I look at him, this kid is too arrogant, and his heart is not right, no matter what, I want to teach him a lesson."
"Today's last collection, Tang white glaze Shuanglongzun, this Xingyao white glaze jar, the mouth is slightly skimmed, the neck is short, the shoulders are plump, the shoulders are gradually constricted, the bottom is flat, the inside and outside are full of glaze, the bottom is unglazed, the glaze is white like snow, and the glaze is shiny and bright......"
The auctioneer introduces the last piece of the auction today, and the auction usually puts the best and most valuable piece at the end, which is called the finale.
As soon as the white-glazed Double Dragon Zun was placed on the auction table, I saw Qiu Nuo's body move slightly, and his face, which had been as cold as frost, instantly warmed up.
The white-glazed double dragon on the platform, the two sides of the neck are lifted for two dragons, and the dragon's tail is connected with the abdomen and shoulders; The dragon body stands up, the dragon head reaches out to the mouth, and the dragon's mouth is connected with the handicap, showing greed and water absorption; The body of the dragon is curved, and the back of the bow is decorated with nipple nails; The Ssangyong curve is symmetrical, the whole is harmonious, and the shape is beautiful, like a trophy, with a typical Persian style.
Gorgeous and elegant, elegant and do not forget to add a bit of brilliance and edge, elegance and beauty completely complement each other, complement each other.
"The starting price is 50,000, and the price is increased by 5,000 at a time, please bid." The auctioneer shouted.
After the creation of white glazed porcelain in the Northern Dynasties, the development and maturity of the Sui to the Tang Dynasty formed a historical situation in the history of ancient Chinese ceramics known as "South Green and North White", of which the "North White" is represented by Xingyao white porcelain.
This white glaze double dragon zun, full of glaze inside and outside, no glaze at the bottom, the glaze color is white like snow, the glaze is shiny and bright, it is a rare treasure in the white porcelain of Xingyao handed down from generation to generation.
After a while, the price was increased to 110,000, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely high.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
As soon as Shen Xiang exited, he directly added 40,000, and the scene was instantly silent, as if as long as there was a bidding in which he participated, everyone else was a supporting role.
"White glazed double dragon venerable! 150,000 for the first time. The auctioneer raised his voice as if announcing the countdown.
I glanced at the radiant Shen Xiang from the crowd, and suddenly turned around and said to Xiao Lianshan with a smile.
"Lianshan, didn't you just say that you wanted to teach Shen Xiang a lesson?"
Xiao Lianshan nodded and said suspiciously.
"Brother, what do you have to do?"
I touched my chin and looked at Xiao Lianshan with a wicked smile and said meaningfully.
"I've been sitting here for a day today, and it's not good to go back empty-handed, I think this white-glazed Shuanglong Zun is very good, and Brother Ting will like it when I buy it back."
"Yes, you can't let this kid steal any limelight." Xiao Lianshan thought about it and nodded, raised his hand and said. "I'll add five thousand."
Shen Xiang didn't expect that someone would dare to come out and fight with him in the end, so he glanced at me and raised his hand and said easily.
"One hundred and eighty thousand!"
I guess Shen Xiang must be thinking in his heart now, even a powerful person like Wei Youcheng has been controlled by him, and he absolutely believes that there is no one in this who is his opponent anymore, and no one should compete with him at this price.
Xiao Lianshan was about to lift it, and I said with a smile next to him.
"You don't have any momentum at all to increase the price like this, add more, add more."
Xiao Lianshan didn't understand what the range of this in my mouth was, anyway, he was determined not to let Shen Xiang win.
"Two hundred thousand!"
As soon as Xiao Lianshan's voice fell, the audience was boiling, and suddenly someone was competing with Shen Xiang in such a high-profile manner, even more domineering than Wei Youcheng just now, and they all gloated and applauded and waited to see a good show.
Shen Xiang had a gloomy face, and Qiu Nuo next to him was pulling his sleeve again, this price was already very high, obviously Qiu Nuo did not appreciate his spending of money.
"Two hundred and thirty thousand!" Shen Xiang said in a deep voice.
"Lianshan, you're not enough, come more, hehe." I'm on the side to instigate.
"What do you want to do, it's 230,000, you still let Lianshan increase the price, it's worth spending so much money to buy a white-glazed Shuanglong Zun, not to mention that you don't have any money." Yue Qianling said with a little weakness.
"Three hundred thousand." Xiao Lianshan's brain was hot, and he raised his hand and shouted.
Yue Qianling was dumbfounded when she heard this, but I was smiling contentedly next to me.
This price undoubtedly made Shen Xiang, who had been in the limelight for a day, look a little flustered, and after hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand, but this time he obviously lacked confidence.
"Three hundred and thirty thousand."
"Four hundred thousand!" Xiao Lianshan actually didn't know what 400,000 meant, he just felt that he was more comfortable than Shen Xiang shouted.
Someone sat next to Xiao Lianshan, as soon as he raised his hand, he heard a click, his clothes blocked in front, no one knew what was going on, only saw beads of sweat the size of beans on the forehead of the person sitting next to him, and the corners of his mouth kept squirming.
Xiao Lianshan looked at Shen Xiang who was turning back with a sneer, and said disdainfully.
"Don't look at what Lao Tzu does, play yin with me, you're still a little tender."
Shen Xiang knew that he had met a master who was not easy to mess with, and he had sent people who planned to control Xiao Lianshan in the past, but they had already been subdued before they could do anything, and now it was difficult to ride a tiger, and in front of Qiu Nuo, this face could not be lost no matter what, so he had to raise his hand hard, and his voice trembled a little.
"Four hundred and thirty thousand."
Xiao Lianshan still wanted to raise his hand, but I grabbed him and shook his head and said with a smile.
"Enough, you listen to me, and wait to see a good show."
The moment the auctioneer announced that Shen Xiang had obtained the White Glazed Double Dragon Venerable, Shen Xiang was obviously relieved, tens of thousands of things actually took 430,000 yuan to get his hands in the end, no matter how he thought about it, he was a little distressed.
When I walked to the door, I happened to meet me, Yue Qianling and Xiao Lianshan, Shen Xiang proudly took the white glaze Shuanglongzun and said to Xiao Lianshan.
"Don't pretend to be generous if you don't have money, thinking that you have a lot of ability, but I still bought it."
I gave Xiao Lianshan a look, Xiao Lianshan understood, and pretended to accidentally knock the white-glazed Shuanglongzun to the ground, and the porcelain worth 430,000 yuan instantly turned into a pile of fragments.
"You...... You ......" Shen Xiang was stunned for a moment before reacting, and pointed at Xiao Lianshan angrily and said loudly. "You broke the thing, don't think about leaving if you don't pay me today."
Qiunuo looked down at the debris on the ground, and suddenly frowned.
"Hehe, isn't it just 430,000, what's the big deal, we'll lose your money." I said with a smile and a nonchalant expression.
Yue Qianling was already speechless in a daze, and she didn't know what I was crazy about, more than 400,000 things were smashed.
"Who wants your money, I have money, this is a treasure of the Tang Dynasty, unique, I want you to pay me an exact one, otherwise...... Hehe, don't blame me for not warning you. Shen Xiang was already holding back the fire in his belly, how could he easily let go of the opportunity when he seized it.
There were more and more people gathered next to him, and Shen Xiang just wanted to humiliate Xiao Lianshan in front of everyone.
"Are you sure you don't want money?"
"Nonsense, I have the money, and today you have to get me an identical one anyway." Shen Xiang said arrogantly.
Qiu Nuo picked up the porcelain piece on the ground and looked at it, glanced at me, and actually showed an appreciative look, turned his head to Shen Xiang and said.
"Let's go, there are a lot of people here, I'll accompany you tomorrow."
"That's not good, more than 400,000 things have been broken, if you don't give me an explanation today, no one wants to leave." Shen Xiang didn't pay attention to Qiu Nuo's words, and still said unrelentingly.
I laughed without saying a word, picked up a piece from the ground, looked at it for a long time and was about to speak, when a voice behind me said.
"This ...... It's a fake! ”
It was Wei Youcheng who spoke, and his eyes were falling on the porcelain piece in my hand.
"Fakes? Hehe, how can this thing be a fake, genuine Tang Dynasty Xingyao white porcelain, don't think I'm a layman, I will appreciate antiques. Shen Xiang said with a sneer.
"The white porcelain of Xingyao kiln, even the young who have just entered the industry can also see that the glaze inside the porcelain is dull, and there are parallel friction lines that are obviously non-manual lines, which is a modern imitation."
The people around came around to watch, and sure enough, as Wei Youcheng said, the crowd exploded, and they all looked at Shen Xiang with mocking eyes, it is not surprising to buy a fake, but you can buy a fake for 400,000 yuan, and you also say that you know the goods, this is a typical money person who is stupid.
Shen Xiang stood in place with a gloomy face and was about to have a seizure, when Qiu Nuo next to him whispered.
"It's a fake, let's go."
Shen Xiang pushed away the crowd and just wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Lianshan and said with a smile.
"Didn't you just say that you were going to give you an explanation, you see, if it weren't for me, you would have spent more than 400,000 yuan to buy a fake today, fortunately, I helped you by mistake, it stands to reason that you should say thank you to me."
The crowd erupted in laughter.
Yue Qianling added oil and vinegar to the coaxing.
"Forget it, didn't he say it just now, he will appreciate antiques too, this time he just looked away, and next time he won't be so stupid."
Shen Xiang was silent and took a deep breath and left amid the laughter of the crowd, he wanted to fight for face in front of Qiu Nuo, but he didn't expect to lose face in front of so many people, the most unacceptable thing for Shen Xiang, he did so many things, and he didn't see Qiu Nuo smile at himself.
But I saw Qiunuo smile faintly when he walked past me.
"You already knew it was fake."
I nodded with a smile and silently, and Shen Xiang looked back at me and Xiao Lianshan coldly, pointed with his finger, and got into the car with a look of shame.
Xiao Lianshan behind him shouted loudly.
"No matter how much money you have, you have to know the goods, and then sell it next time you see it clearly, otherwise you will really become a fool of many people!"
