Chapter 139: Underground Auction House
"Brother Ren, who are you?" Seeing that Ren Jian was carrying a long clip box wherever he went, Li Junhua couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's nothing, it contains a precious antique, and since there is no place to put it for the time being, I can only carry it with me. Ren Jian said with a wry smile.
The long clip box is naturally not an antique, it is the Longquan sword and the village sword, because there is no time to refine it for the time being, Ren Jian is not at ease when it is placed in the hotel, so whether it is playing or participating in the auction, Ren Jian can only carry it with him, otherwise if he loses him, he will want to cry without tears.
The Muramasa sword is a second-grade magic weapon, and the Longquan sword is a third-grade magic weapon, refining is not as simple as a first-grade magic weapon, and the time required has increased exponentially, and it is expected that it will take at least five or six days of retreat, and now that the auction is imminent, where does Ren Jian have time to retreat.
Although Li Junhua and Lao Wang were curious, they didn't know what antiques made Ren Jian attach so much importance to them, you must know that even if it was a basket of top-quality mutton fat jade, Ren Jian didn't take a few more glances at that time, and the antiques that could make Ren Jian attach so much importance to them, even at the expense of carrying them, the antiques in the long box must be extraordinary.
However, seeing that Ren Jian didn't want to say more, Li Junhua couldn't get to the bottom of it, and said with a smile: "Let's go! The auction is about to be held, I hope our sheep fat jade can be auctioned at a good price!"
Lao Wang also echoed at this time, and said with a smile: "Of course! Our three pieces of mutton fat jade are the best of the best, I believe that there should be no problem in the auction price of hundreds of millions, and I heard that there are many jewelers participating in this auction, Brother Ren will wait to count the money when he arrives!"
Ren Jian smiled and said, "I hope so!"
Then Li Junhua and Lao Wang took a car, and Li Xiuning drove Ren Jian. Li Junhua drove around the front, and finally took Ren Jian and them to Lantian County. Lantian County is a suburban county under the jurisdiction of Xi'an and is famous for its abundance of Lantian jade.
Ren Jian didn't expect the auction house to be in Lantian County, and Ren Jian is no stranger to Lantian County, because he and Li Xiuning also visited here yesterday.
The car stopped in the square in front of the building, and the four got off separately. Ren Jian looked curiously: "This is the underground auction house?"
Li Junhua smiled and said: "This is the largest underground auction house in Xi'an, and it is also one of the largest underground auction houses in China......
Ren Jian nodded appreciatively and said with a smile: "Could it be that this is the legendary black market?"
Li Junhua nodded while taking Ren Jian and the others inside: "So to speak!"
Today is the day of the official auction. So the entire auction house can be said to be busy, looking at the many crowds pouring into the auction house, Ren Jian couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked: "Brother Li, why are so many people here, are these people all participating in the auction?"
"That's not it, most of them just look at it and don't buy it, and some of them are for their friends. This time, I specially asked Manager Liu to prepare a private room, but ordinary people don't have this kind of treatment. Li Junhua smiled.
"Oh, it's still Brother Li's big face. Ren Jian said with a smile.
"It's not me Lao Li who brags about himself. I've been in this business for more than 20 years, and who in this line of China doesn't know me?" Li Junhua is not boasting, when it comes to connections in the tomb robbery world, Li Junhua is definitely second to none.
Junhua was very familiar with the auction luggage, and walked in with Ren Jian and others, and found a private room on the second floor. In front of the door of the private room, a waiter stood and bowed slightly to the four of them and said, "Sir, please show your VIP card." ”
"Give. Li Junhua nodded slightly, then took out a delicate card from his pocket and handed it to the waiter opposite.
Ren Jian looked at the surrounding environment, and inadvertently saw two men and a woman walking not far away, one of which was a man and a woman Ren Jian didn't know, but one of the men was an acquaintance, it was Li Zehui.
At the beginning, Li Zehui offered a reward of 5 million to fight fakes, saying that Ren Jian's kung fu was fake, but in the end he was impressed by Ren Jian's kung fu, and donated the 5 million at that time, and Ren Jian was heartbroken for several days.
However, although he met an acquaintance, Ren Jian had no intention of walking over to say hello, because although Ren Jian knew Li Zehui, Li Zehui couldn't recognize Ren Jian, after all, Ren Jian was wearing a non-obscene vest at the time, and Li Zehui didn't know him at all, so wouldn't it be boring to rush over to say hello?
At the same time, Ren Jian saw many celebrities one after another, some of them were still called beasts by bricks who had been on talk shows, and after walking into the private room, Ren Jian asked curiously: "Brother Li, doesn't the underground auction house really care?"
You must know that the underground auction houses dare to auction everything, and there are quite a few smuggled antiques among them, but is the government not aware of this at all? This is obviously impossible! Just like today's auction is not a small matter, and the people in the Lantian County government are not blind.
Li Junhua laughed and said in a low voice: "It's not that I don't care, but I can't control it, besides, there are people in the auction house above, and the local government can only turn a blind eye." ”
Ren Jian nodded understandingly, and then stopped talking about this topic, and after about half an hour, a microphone suddenly sounded outside: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our auction house, I greet you on behalf of the auction house, and I hope you can auction your favorite items here......"
"It's about to start, I don't know if this auction is good. Although Li Junhua is not an appraiser, he is definitely not bad in his eyes, and he has worked in this industry for more than 20 years.
"The first auction item is a precious dark green jade wrench, which is a tribute to the Qing Dynasty court, specially dedicated to the emperor's wrench, and the most special point of this jade wrench is that it was once consecrated by a monk, and it is definitely a value-for-money collection......"
Ren Jian looked through the glass of the private room and saw a man standing in the auction room, with a glass cover placed next to him, and after the man explained, he said: "The starting price of this jade wrench is one million, and each bid is not less than 100,000, and the auction starts now!"
"One million and one million!" As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, the sound on the auction table sounded, and the screen above the background of the auction table displayed the 'price code of one million and one hundred thousand', and the number of the bidder was displayed below.
"Okay, the ninety-seventh guest is one million and one million, and is there anything higher. The auctioneer shouted.
"1,200,000 ......"
"1,300,000 ......"
"1,800,000 ......"
