Chapter 85: The Auction
Hearing Chen Tianming's words, Guo Qiang's face darkened!
After all, everyone knows that Guo Qiang relied on his wife to secure the position of chairman of the international trade group, and he was nicknamed Guo Soft Rice because of this!
This is a thorn in Guo Qiang's heart!
"Hehe!" staring at Chen Tianming in front of him, Guo Qiang suddenly let out a burst of laughter, "I heard that Chen Ershao is interested in that blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum bottle, I hope you can successfully take it!"
After saying this, Guo Qiang flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
As for Chen Tianming, his face darkened.
Obviously, the other party is trying to make him uncomfortable at the auction!
"Brother Zhang, don't be surprised, let's go in first. Chen Tianming's qi cultivation kung fu was not bad, and he quickly regained his composure, and then took Zhang Yu into the venue of the building where the auction was held.
Because it was the first time he had seen this kind of scene, and Zhang Yu didn't know anyone else except Chen Tianming, so along the way, he had been silently watching Chen Tianming greet the oncoming people, greet them with a smile, or gossip around the world.
Gradually, Zhang Yu discovered a common feature of these people, although they look different, the manuscripts are tall and short, but they all have a mouth that can speak, and the mouth is simply boundless!
Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, the radio at the venue suddenly went off.
"Distinguished guests, gentlemen and ladies, our auction is about to begin, please take your seats ......"
Hearing this announcement, everyone temporarily stopped talking and entered their seats.
The makeshift auction hall was decorated in a grand style, with seats on three sides surrounding the middle table, behind which was the door of the room, and two big men stood on either side with their hands behind their backs.
Chen Tianming led Zhang Yu to the front rows and sat down, and Guo Qiang was also sitting not far away just now, staring fiercely at this side.
Soon a middle-aged host appeared on the stage, this person seems to be called Zeng Feng, Zhang Yu has watched an episode of the treasure appreciation program he hosted.
"It's a pleasure for you to come to this auction, the list of the main items in this auction is on the small table in front of you, please take a look, the auction will start soon. Zeng Feng said with a smile.
It is estimated that they are used to seeing him auction, and everyone picked up the booklet to read, Zhang Yu took the booklet handed over by Chen Tianming, and only heard him say: "See if you have anything you like, tell me." ”
"Hmm. Zhang Yu nodded, picked up the booklet and looked at it, which marked the items in this auction in great detail, including more than 30 small jade jade and copper products, and only a few large ones, and the most expensive one was the blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum vase, the reserve price was 1 million, and the price increase was 50,000 each time.
"Everyone has read the booklet, according to the old rules now the auction begins, please Miss Etiquette to take the No. 1 auction item, a jade wrench, this jade wrench is the last prince of the Qing Dynasty, its significance is far-reaching, jade is also the best Hetian jade, this jade wrench is the floor price of 50,000, each time the price is increased by 10,000, and now the auction begins. ”
Just as he prompted the auction to start, the surrounding lights dimmed, and the spotlight was all focused on the auction items.
As soon as Zeng Feng's words fell, someone immediately raised a sign.
"No. 23, 60,000, does anyone else increase the price?"
"No. 30, 70,000"
......
"No. 54 80,000, 80,000 once, 80,000 twice, 80,000 three times, this jade wrench belongs to No. 54. Zeng Feng said with a smile.
The next thing is varied, there are copper cigarette noses, jade bi and jade seals.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, as long as it was Chen Tianming's bidding, Guo Qiang had to intervene, and every time he raised the price very high, he looked at Chen Tianming proudly after the auction.
Chen Tianming also couldn't help but be angry, he came this time mainly to bid for the blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum bottle, but suddenly an opponent was inserted, and his face was still a little ugly.
Soon, those small antique jade artifacts were all auctioned off, and the next auction was the blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum vase. Chen Tianming's body moved forward slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the door on the stage.
"I believe that everyone is here today for the purpose of this blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum vase, according to legend, this vase was snatched out of the emperor's palace when Genghis Khan conquered the north and south, and finally as a royal article in the Yuan Dynasty, some time ago there were collectors to give us the opportunity to see it, its perfect shape and long history is its greatest value. Zeng Feng is worthy of outstanding eloquence, and in a few words, he pointed out the value of the blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum bottle, royal supplies.
"I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time, so then we will invite the blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum vase. Zeng Feng saw that everyone's appetite was aroused, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he waved his big hand.
At this time, the spotlight was concentrated in the doorway, and soon a porcelain vase with a graceful arc was pushed out by a small cart.
In order to attract attention, he also deliberately allowed people to get close to watch, and the porcelain vase shimmered with an eerie glow under the light. Zhang Yu suddenly felt that this porcelain vase seemed to be a little abnormal!
"Then now that the auction begins, the Yuan Dynasty blue and white cloud dragon pattern plum vase, the reserve price is 1 million, and the price increase is 50,000 each time. Zeng Feng said loudly with the microphone.
Just as he finished saying this, the scene was strangely quiet......
It's not that everyone is not interested in this thing, on the contrary, as the host said, many people at the scene are here for this last antique!
Especially Chen Ershao of the Chen family in the imperial capital, he has been inquiring about its whereabouts since it was rumored that this antique has entered the market, and he obviously loves it very much!
Of course, it's not just Chen Tianming who loves it!
And the host standing on the stage had already understood this, so in the face of this short silence, he didn't care, just waited silently.
At this point, it's just the calm before the storm!
Sure enough, there was silence for about a minute, and finally someone held up a sign, and it was an old man sitting at the back.
"No. 73, the price was increased by 50,000, and now the reserve price is 1.05 million. ”
"No. 82, the price increased by 50,000, and now the reserve price is 1.1 million. ”
......
"On the 20th, the price was increased by 50,000, and now the reserve price is 2.3 million. ”
At the moment when the first person raised the sign, the sign sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the price rose steadily.
"I'll pay 5 million!" At this time, a familiar voice sounded, and as soon as Zhang Yu turned his head, he saw that Guo Qiang couldn't bear to bid!
5 million to buy a vase, these people are really rich!
What's more, this guy also cast a provocative gaze at Zhang Yu, of course, this provocative gaze was not aimed at Zhang Yu, but at Chen Tianming who was sitting next to him!
"Five and a half million!" At this moment, Chen Tianming also made a bid, and increased the price by 500,000 in one go!
