In the easternmost conference room on the second floor, this conference room is also the largest conference room on the gambling ship, and what activities and large-scale meetings are held by the gambling ship are all in this conference room. The decoration of this conference room is simple and serious, low-key and luxurious, just like the dress of a prince and nobleman during a private visit, giving people a feeling of intimacy.

When they arrived at the conference room, it was already full. However, the auction had just begun, and a hostess held a porcelain vase on the auction table. Next to the auction table stood a white middle-aged man, whom some auction company owners knew. This white middle-aged man is a legendary white glove, famous auctioneer Zhou Shixiong. This legendary white glove is not simple, once and now auctioned a picture of Tang Baihu's lady to more than 100 million, and the market price of that lady picture is about tens of millions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second piece of our charity auction collection, the blue and white dragon porcelain vase of the Qianlong period of the official kiln, which is said to be a royal product. The reserve price is 500,000 yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 50,000 yuan, everyone is welcome to bid, and the auction starts now. ”

"Six hundred thousand. ”

"Eight hundred thousand. ”

"A million. "The bidder was a middle-aged fat man, a coal boss at SX.

"One and a half million. "A young lady bids.

"One million six thousand. ”

"Two million. The chubby SX coal boss bid again, and he stood up and looked around, enjoying the feeling of being looked up to.

"Two million and one million. An elderly collector bids for the collection of this official kiln Qianlong blue and white flower.

"Three million. "The SX coal boss is bidding again. At this time, no one followed the bidding, and the market price of this Qianlong blue and white pattern dragon porcelain bottle was about 2.7 million, and everyone knew this fat man, SX coal boss was not bad for money, what was missing was cultural heritage, a nouveau riche digging coal. He also likes to learn how to collect, but he is afraid that others will say that he is illiterate. Moreover, when this fat coal boss first started to collect, he was deceived many times and bought a fake of half a house, everyone knows that he is a wronged boss, and he is called Qian Duoduo by some old people in the collecting world. That is to say, this person is stupid and has a lot of money. But now that he has a lot of money, he has learned a lot, and every time he buys a collection, he will ask some experts to help him identify whether the collection is genuine, he is not afraid of the price, but he is afraid that the things he receives are fakes. So now Qian Duoduo is standing next to an elderly appraiser with flat glasses.

"Three million, this boss bid three million. There is no one, two, three, deals. The official kiln Qianlong blue and white pattern dragon porcelain vase was sold at a price of three million, which belonged to the fat boss. Qian Duoduo heard the final word of the white glove Zhou Shixiong, and with a smile on his face, he finally bought a high-grade genuine Qianlong blue and white again. Walking to the checkout counter, Qian Duoduo knew the wrinkles on his face.

"The next piece in the collection, a picture of a playful spring by an unknown painter of the Ming Dynasty. Bosses who are interested in this painting can come on stage to see this work. "Miss Manners put the painting on the auction table.

Five or six appraisers went over to look at it, but they didn't see which Ming Dynasty painter painted this picture of Joy, so everyone was not very interested in this picture of Spring, and they all shook their heads and went off the stage. Hong Tu also followed to look at the painting, but didn't see any results. Hongtu asked Fuwa to help scan it, and the result given by Fuwa was that the works of unknown painters in the Ming Dynasty were written in the paintings, but the paintings contained a lot of treasure, which was very collectible, and it was recommended to collect them. Hearing the results of Fuwa's scan, Hong Tu immediately decided to take a picture of the painting, because Hong Tu wanted to see how much Fuwa's so-called highly collectible painting was worth.

"The base price of this picture is 50,000, and the price increase shall not be less than 10,000 yuan each time, and the bidding will start now. ”

After a long time, no one shouted the price, everyone thought that the painting was worthless, the painting painted by an unknown painter in the Ming Dynasty, the market price was about 30,000 or 40,000, and the current auction price has reached 50,000, so it has caused the current cold field.

Hong Tu saw that no one bid for a few minutes, and he was secretly happy in his heart, he would definitely make a lot of money if he could take this painting at a low price.

"Fifty thousand. Hong Tu lazily shouted out a reserve price, and Zhou Shixiong, a white-gloved man standing on the auction table, showed a grateful look to Hong Tu, because Zhou Shixiong thought that this work would be unsold. In fact, Hong Tu was very nervous when he shouted the price, although he knew that there were not many people who could see the hidden treasures in this ancient painting of the Ming Dynasty, but he was still a little worried. Moreover, Hong Tu is afraid that someone will maliciously raise the price and raise the price of this ancient painting to a high price, so he will not be able to pick it up. But fortunately, after Hong Tu made a bid, the people in the auction hall looked at Hong Tu with a foolish look. Even Zhao Rui, who was next to Hong Tu, asked Hong Tu why he bought this ancient painting of the Ming Dynasty, the market price of this ancient painting of the Ming Dynasty was not worth 50,000 at all.

Hong Tu only said, "I feel good about this ancient painting of the Ming Dynasty, and I like it very much." ”

Zhao Rui was speechless, rich, capricious. He spent his own money to buy an ancient painting he liked, and Zhao Rui couldn't say anything. This painting is only 50,000 yuan, in Zhao Rui's opinion, this little money is nothing, but the eyes of the people around him make Zhao Rui very uncomfortable, and the meaning of the people next to him is almost to say that you are a fool and a big wrongdoer.

"No. 63, this gentleman bid 50,000, is there any. Fifty thousand once, fifty thousand twice, fifty thousand three times. ”

"Congratulations to the gentleman at No. 63 for auctioning this ancient painting of the Ming Dynasty for 50,000 yuan. Zhou Shixiong's face was happy, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, this ancient painting has not been sold. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhou Shixiong began to prepare for the auction of the next collection.

Hong Tu walked to the counter next to him and went to check out. Five minutes later, Hong Tu finally got this ancient painting of the Ming Dynasty with a hidden universe in his hands, and when he got this ancient painting, Hong Tu had a happy look on his face, and he kept grinning. Returning to Zhao Rui in the audience, Hong Tu took this ancient painting of the Ming Dynasty and asked Zhao Rui in a low voice. "Brother Zhao, do you know the appraisers of ancient paintings, needless to say ordinary appraisers. I think this Ming Dynasty painting in my hand is strange. ”

"Is this picture weird?" Zhao Rui finally understood why Hong Tu didn't care about the kind of eyes of the people around him, and insisted on taking this ancient painting. Zhao Rui believes that Hong Tu said that there is a problem with this painting, so there must be a problem. Because Hong Tu will not lie to him, and for Hong Tu's ability, although Zhao Rui does not know what Hong Tu is good at, Zhao Rui still believes in Hong Tu unconditionally.

"I know two masters of ancient paintings. One is Liu Guozhi, the owner and appraiser of the antique shop in Hanzhou City, Liu Lao. There is also a famous collector in Hanzhou City***, Wang Lao. The two of them are big names in domestic painting and calligraphy appraisal. They must have seen what was wrong with this ancient painting. When we get off the gambling boat, I'll take you to them. ”

Zhao Rui also wants to see what is strange about this ancient painting, and he must find an appraisal master to identify it, Hong Tu's eyesight is so powerful, so many appraisers on the scene did not see that there was a problem with this painting, Hong Tu just went up and took a few casual glances, and he could be sure that there was something wrong with this painting. Could it be that Hong Tu's calligraphy and painting appraisal ability can already be compared with Wang Lao and Liu Lao, and he has the vision of a master of calligraphy and painting appraisal.

Of course, this is not because Hong Tu has excellent eyesight, but Hong Tu's cheating ability is much stronger than that of ordinary identification masters, Hong Tu asked Fuwa to scan it, no matter what it is, Fuwa can quickly scan the results. In fact, the appraisers on the scene are not all in vain, after all, the time to look at this ancient painting on the auction table is too short, only ten minutes, and there are so many people to look at it together, of course, they can't observe this ancient painting very carefully, so the appraisers present did not see the problem with this ancient painting. And Hong Tu has Fuwa's cheat, scanning, and the identification result can be obtained in less than ten seconds, even the identification of the grandmaster is not so fast.

Zhao Rui also took the ancient painting in Hong Tu's hand and looked at it, but he didn't see any problems, Zhao Rui is not a professional appraiser, not to mention that ordinary professional appraisers may not be able to see the problem of this ancient painting. Zhao Rui couldn't see the problem with this painting, so he returned the painting to Lai Hongtu.

Wang Bin, Li Wenjie, and Hu Xiaoxi next to him also heard the conversation between Hong Tu and Zhao Rui, and they all knew that Hong Tu had missed it, and they were all very interested, and Li Wenjie also congratulated Hong Tu. "Brother Hong, you have great eyesight. Congratulations on your successful pick-up, so many appraisers are not as good as you, they don't see the problem with this painting, as far as Brother Hong can see, it's not an ordinary person. ”

Li Wenjie was excited, and took the ancient painting that Hong Tu clapped in his hand and took a look, like Zhao Rui, Li Wenjie is not a professional, so he can't see the problem with this ancient painting, so he passed this painting to Wang Bin and Hu Xiaoxi next to him. Wang Bin and Hu Xiaoxi also looked at this ancient painting carefully several times, but they didn't see any problems. But Hong Tu said that this ancient painting is strange, which means that there must be something wrong with this ancient painting. The four people at the scene admired Hong Tu even more, so many people didn't see the problem with this painting, Hong Tu alone saw it, this is a problem of ability. Most of these rich second generations and official second generations are human spirits, unlike what is said in the news, there are more brain-dead people in the second generation, in fact, these second generations, when they were young, put in much more effort than ordinary people. When other children are playing, they are learning etiquette, communication, management, and so on. Of course, the second generation of brain-dead is not nothing, but that is only a very small number of the second generation, and the general second generation has a city government and ability than ordinary people.

Therefore, most of the second generation admires capable people very much, and at this time, Hong Tu can be regarded as truly integrated into Zhao Rui's circle of friends, because Wang Bin, Li Wenjie and Hu Xiaoxi all know that Hong Tu not only has a background, but also has a much stronger ability than ordinary people.
