Chapter 218: Inside the Auction

"One of the most powerful items (equipment) on the subject's body - an unknown copper coin, source: unknown world; Name: Unknown; Attributes: Due to the item's 'self-obscure' function, it is currently impossible to break through the barrier and spy on the inside story...... What can be observed is that the item has a slight ability to change the rules, and the reasonable use will have an extremely powerful effect, and the irrational use will also have a terrifying effect...... Should belong to a certain important person in the world, estimated level: R+. ”

Well, although the Mirror of the Watcher was unexpectedly unable to see through the "bad luck", it still gave a lot of key information very "dutifully"! This made Zhou Daoan already sure that the rusty copper coin in his hand was an inheritance item, and the level had broken through to R+!

"What a blissful trouble! It seems that the Mirror of the Spooper's judgment of it is very advanced, and the power of rules is ...... Tsk, that sounds like a tall idea! But...... It also means that I have to spend a lot of 'money' to get it tested......"

The somewhat hypocritical Zhou Daoan returned the copper coins and the watchman's glasses back to the safety of the small warehouse, and then returned to the auction hall as if nothing had happened.

Next, the few things in the auction couldn't arouse Zhou Daoan's much interest - not that the things were bad, but for the ferryman, ordinary things that lost their "magic power" were just mortal items. For example, a retro landwalker that has been discontinued, can be powered by wind energy, but it is very slow; Another example is a rare goblin of extremely high purity, which is said to be able to drive a palace-like building for 10 years......

Similar gadgets are actually more appealing to the average person! For example, Zhou Daoqi, in line with the mentality of "come here, don't miss if you have good things", bought a set of six screen jade girl paintings by the late famous lady painter Tang Xun, and spent 30,000 yuan. Basically, this money is spent, and Zhou Daoqi's private small treasury is not much left.

As the auction items were sold one by one, even if the pace of the auction was slow, ten pieces were lost in half an hour. A third of the way through the process, more and more guests arrived, and finally, all 60 rooms were filled! The auctioneer, who was always observing the number of people, decisively increased the pace, and more and more valuable items were put on display.

"I heard, you still have some natural treasures to auction this time? Why haven't you seen it yet? Zhou Daoan observed the lot and found that the target thing, Thunderbolt, had never appeared, so he asked the manager who had been accompanying him in the compartment.

"You also said that those are natural treasures, which are unique treasures that cannot be reproduced, and they are usually placed in the finale." The manager's nice voice replied.

Zhou Daoan nodded-at this moment, the audience was full, but between the compartments, the guests couldn't see each other's faces. He can only judge whether his "target" appears by the bidding price of key items at auction. Since the heavenly and earthly treasures are biased towards the finale, then he can only continue to wait.

At this moment, what Zhou Daoan didn't know was that in the Ding Mao room separated by the dislocation of the Bingchen room, two guests wearing men's clothes but with soft and delicate faces were asking the manager of the Ding Mao room about the auction items.

Different from the Bingchen room, the manager of the Ding Mao room is an old man who is old but knowledgeable at first glance. Such an old man is placed in Shifangzhai, and he is only a character who is one line worse than the worshippers, but his attitude is very polite at this time, even in the face of two young female guests who are obviously disguised, he does not dare to hold it up at all.

Because he knew that the two female guests in front of him were extraordinary, one was a girl from the Wang family, a first-class family in Yongjing, and the other was the hottest Qingqi person in Yongjing, and the existence sought after by countless nobles. Even this Ding Mao room was asked by the former from his father. That young master Wang was actually willing to give it, which really shows that he dotes on this daughter!

After all, the Ding Mao room is actually equivalent to the "fourth" room, which is the front room in the fifth floor of Shifangzhai. This kind of room belongs to the most distinguished regular customers. In contrast, the status of the Bingchen (fifty-third) room is far inferior.

"I learned that the thunderbolt that you two are concerned about is in the finale position, and there are still thirteen lots in front of it...... "The old manager didn't dare to speak vaguely like the manager of Bingchen Fang, he told the truth," if the two of you can't stay, you can do it yourself, and you can entrust the old man to bid. ”

Entrusting a manager to bid is a common thing in auction houses, provided that the manager and the customer trust each other and reach a tacit understanding, the manager will not increase the price indiscriminately, and is familiar with the customer's psychological bottom line. Although the old manager and the two female customers were in contact for the first time, it did not prevent him from being able to grasp the psychology of his old employer, Mr. Wang, and know the scale of the bidding.

"No, this treasure is our ambition, and ...... We also have to see the auction process, otherwise we will be timid for a while, but it will be a shame for my father......" The young lady of the Wang family glanced at the beautiful woman beside her, and saw that she bowed slightly, before she said, "Old man, please explain to us the Tao......"

The old manager immediately sensitively noticed that this Miss Wang was afraid that she would still accompany this beautiful woman on this trip, mainly the latter. So he didn't say much, but tried his best to change the topic and explain the lot on the stage for the two female guests. With his professional and sophisticated vision, his estimate of the value of the lot is extremely accurate, and the price of a lot is small or has been premium, which is very straightforward.

This kind of service is not something that all guests can enjoy, which is based on Shifangzhai's attention to such distinguished guests as the Wang family, and does not expect the other party to bring much wealth to themselves, but values the influence and publicity of the other party! Even if the people sent by the Wang family don't know anything about antiques, Shifangzhai will not let her suffer!

The girl of the Wang family was quite interested, and there was an old manager by her side, which was equivalent to hanging up, and after a few lots, she also "tried her skills for the first time" and won a bloody ancient jade accessory at the price of a small leak. She was especially happy about this!

It's just that she didn't notice that when the price of Ding Mao's house was called, the auctioneer's hammer speed quietly accelerated, which made people who were a little hesitant to increase the price lose the opportunity, and the shouting price of several houses was choked in their throats.

However, the Su family has been watching from the sidelines, not squinting at the dazzling array of treasures on the stage, and has no intention of making a move.

Time passed quietly.

As soon as the auction is full, the auction process begins to accelerate, and there is no longer the slowness and procrastination of the previous "appetizers". It's no wonder that the further you go, the higher the value of the lot, and the guests themselves will have a judgment on the lot without the auctioneer explaining too much. They also know that treasure-level items don't need to be tricky, basically depending on whether the price is in place, so once you are sure that the baby in front of you likes and wants, you will not be too hesitant to bid.

Zhou Daoan silently counted the number of lots, and when he silently counted to twenty-seven, he knew that the finale and the big axis were coming—the so-called finale meant that the penultimate appearance and the big axis was the last. Usually both of these are extremely heavy beings. Thunderbolt has not appeared before, so it can be seen that it is placed in the last two key positions.

This couldn't help but make him a little worried about the bidding—the twenty-seventh and penultimate treasure was a large blue and white jar made by the Nanling Yan family. This thing has a history of 600 years, with a batch of imported green materials from Taixi, due to the cut off of the source of green materials, this batch of blue and white products has become a unique sound.

The Yan family is the first in-law family of the Lie family in the family of five surnames, in addition to cultivation, it also has a unique way to use fire in industry. Porcelain burning is also one of the most famous specialties of the Yan family. Even the masters of the official kiln in the palace are all inherited from the Yan family.

Therefore, this blue and white jar depicting the "Battle of Gaocheng" in the Great Battle of Mountains and Seas 600 years ago was auctioned for a high price of nearly one million! Millions, which is estimated to break the record of porcelain auctions!

In comparison, Zhou Daoan's 100,000 funds are a little shabby. You know, the order of thunderbolt wood is still behind, if everyone thinks that it is more valuable than the blue and white pot, wouldn't the final transaction price exceed one million?

If his bid can't be cut off, or even make a splash, then a critical part of his plan is going to go wrong.

Just as he was thinking to himself, the blue and white jar had been removed, and another object covered with black flannel had been placed on the high platform. Just watch a few big men lift it up and carefully place this action, you know that this thing is heavy and big! Experienced auctioneers also know that the auction is coming to an end, and the last thing must be more valuable in Shifangzhai's evaluation, so they can't help but pay attention!

At this time, the auctioneer was already a little tired, his voice was no longer full of energy, but his spirit was extremely high - the final price of Fang Cai's blue and white jar was one-third higher than the psychological price of Shifangzhai, and this auction will definitely continue to rise! own performance......

Just thinking about a good thing, suddenly he saw a little red light flashing in the direction of Ding Mao's room, although it was fleeting, but it was extremely clear!

This is a signal from the manager of that private room!

When a Blood Qin Ancient Jade was auctioned before, a signal was sent out in that room - since all the rooms were separated, only the auctioneer in the center of the stage could observe the situation in the room at any time, and the rooms of the first six were equipped with a kind of secret signal light, which was prepared for those managers to manipulate the auction!

It is not to manipulate the auction price to soar, but to manipulate the auctioneer to control the auction rhythm and the timing of the hammer...... When the ancient jade was shining, the yellow light was lit twice, which meant that the hammer was dropped quickly, and it was important to let Ding Mao's room be auctioned. And this time the red light flashed, which is to let him control the price, not to soar sharply, and to stabilize the principal price a little higher! But the process should be as tortuous as possible, so that the guests of Ding Mao Fang can win the lot at the same time, but also receive a copy of the love of Shifangzhai!
