Chapter 249: The Invitation of the Vice President

After 110,000 won the bronze dragon head, Zhang Yang's remaining attention was all on the bronze swords on the data.

He wanted to see who was most excited about the bronze sword when the bronze sword was sold.

The most excited person may be the seller.

Wait, wait, wait until the jade plates of the Qing Dynasty are auctioned, and the three bronze swords still haven't appeared.

According to the law of the previous lots, there is a high probability that they will be jade.

Zhang Yang thought to himself: Could it be that Lao Chu and they have exerted their strength?

And it was a big force, which caused all the bronze swords to be withdrawn.

Someone at the scene couldn't hold back, and asked the auctioneer on the stage directly between the auctions.

The latter checked the news and replied:

"I'm sorry to tell you that lots 20034, 20035 and 20048 have been temporarily withdrawn due to some force majeure."

"It happened after the auction had already started, so I didn't have time to inform you."

"If there are any other lots missing, they will be temporarily withdrawn......"

Zhou Baotan heard this, and said to Zhang Yang with a look of understanding brother:

"In this case, it is usually the official forces in the mainland who take action."

"Bronze, only we are in charge of it."

"What will happen after the shoot is withdrawn?" Zhang Yang asked as if he didn't know about it.

"What else can I do, quietly return it to the person who sent it for filming."

This answer is a bit different from the answer that Zhang Yang was expecting.

Returned to the auctioneer?

Shouldn't it be returned to the owner of the tomb?

He asked suspiciously:

"If it's a stolen artifact, shouldn't it be frozen directly and wait for it to be investigated?"

"Hehe, what can I do if I find it?"

Zhou Baotan told Zhang Yang a story that happened a few years ago.

At that time, it was sent to auction by one of his brothers, who was in charge of African antiquities.

In the pre-auction display session, it was recognized as an antiquity stolen from Egypt a few years ago.

And it was a statue of an Egyptian pharaoh (stone carving) that was stolen from a museum and smuggled out of the country.

The nature is probably equivalent to that in domestic museums, the portrait of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was stolen.

Is this still worth it?

At that time, the Egyptian department in charge of cultural relics protection not only issued a notice, but also found a professional team of lawyers and sent a lawyer's letter to Christie's.

He even organized a protest rally in front of Christie's to find the media to expose this ugly act.

As a result, it didn't work at all.

The head of the Egyptian pharaoh was auctioned off for £4.8 million.

But this time, after all, it was in Xiangjiang.

Christie's has attached great importance to the Chinese market in recent years, so the cultural relics department has put pressure on the auction process to be suspended.

However, as a membership-based company, it is impossible to infringe on the interests of members, so the final result is most likely to be returned to the auctioneer.

"It's already a good result."

"A few years ago, like the one in France when the head of the rat and the head of the rabbit were shot, Christie's didn't care about our opinions at all."

Zhou Baotan earns a commission paid by Christie's, and his words are naturally suspected of beautifying his employer.

Zhang Yang knows very well that the auction house is in the business of earning commissions.

The transaction price of the rat head and the rabbit head is hundreds of millions, and the commission alone is more than 10 million, of course, people are reluctant to give up such fat.

Now a few bronze swords, at most, are tens of thousands of yuan in commissions, and there is no need to struggle at all.

Therefore, it is returned to the person who sent the auction, just to calm the matter.

It's not about respecting the attitude they showed to Lao Chu.

Zhang Yang thought to himself: If the bronze sword must be returned, why should it be returned to the person who sent it to the auctioneer, not the Hailin Museum?

Is it possible that these three swords are all stolen artifacts from the Hailin Museum?

And I'm the master of those three swords?

He decided to wait until today's auction was over and ask Lao Chu how it was going.

If the prospect is not good, he is happy to help the other party and form a good relationship.

……

At the auction, the appearance of modern jade lots indicates that the next day's auction has reached the final part.

At first, it was just cheap white jade ornaments of the Qing Dynasty, and the starting price was less than 200,000 yuan.

The material of the lot itself is not very good, and the price is completely supported by historical value.

That's it, and it's all closed.

Zhang Yangden felt that the future was bright.

Slowly, jadeite began to appear.

The starting price immediately rose all the way, from 200,000 yuan to 300,000, 400,000, and 600,000 yuan......

A modern imperial green jadeite pendant, with a starting price of 900,000 yuan, was finally auctioned at 5.5 million.

To be honest, the material of the pendant is completely inferior to his bracelet.

"Now it's the last lot of the auction, the jade bracelet."

"Tested by the Xiangjiang Jade Identification Center, it was confirmed to be a natural jadeite jadeite ......"

"The starting price, 7.5 million, a single price increase, 20,000."

The introduction of the auctioneer on the stage made me feel a headache.

Who buys jadeite to see the results of the jade appraisal center?

You have to say "imperial green", "Burmese material", "old pit" and so on, reflecting the uniqueness of this bracelet!

It's so perfunctory, what should I do when it's indecent to shoot?

"7.5 million, 7.5 million on-site bid."

"7.8 million, from Mike's network commission, is there a higher bid than 7.8 million?"

"7.82 million ......"

Zhang Yang's clenched fist instantly relaxed.

This auctioneer is so professional!

Yes, that's it, talk slowly, give everyone a little more time to think.

Let those who participate in the auction remotely have time to check their balance;

Let the people who participated in the auction on the spot see how well this bracelet matches the wife at home......

The final transaction price of the bracelet was fixed at 9.88 million.

"Congratulations to Master Zhang." Zhou Baotan sent his blessings as soon as possible.

"Thank you." Zhang Yang replied with a smile.

At the same time, I said in my heart:

Thank you, Miss Cao.

Looking back, Cao Jiayun, who may be waiting for the court to be sentenced, really wanted to cooperate with Zhang Yang at that time.

Even such good goods at the bottom of the box have been moved out.

It also gave Zhang Yang a chance to get rich.

……

The next day's auction ended.

Zhou Baotan took Zhang Yang and went to the backstage to sign the confirmation letter.

After checking the bank card number, all that remains to do is wait for Christie's to send the money.

Zhang Yang asked Zhou Baotan to rub it well.

He also has several pieces of jadeite, which are also ready to be auctioned at Christie's.

At that time, he can't stare at everything, and if there is something internal, it will be more secure.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Baotan declined Zhang Yang's invitation and didn't say anything, and in turn wanted to be his own.

The reason is: Zhang Yang saved his career.

"You're talking too much. We have money to earn together, and the more we earn, the more we share. ”

Zhang Yang did not have the idea of self-respect, this cooperation was very pleasant, and he will continue to cooperate in the future.

But Zhou Baotan's attitude is more resolute:

"That's what I said. But this time, if you hadn't promised to help, I wouldn't have been able to earn this commission......"

Finally, Shen Yangling, who was passing by, stood up to "uphold justice".

She wanted to invite Zhang Yang and Zhou Baotan to dinner together.

Because she has an urgent matter and needs Zhang Yang's help.

"Coincidentally, I also have something I want to ask Miss Shen for help." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
