treasure hunter

At this time, Huang Lao said, "That person... seems to be the former president of the Kyoto Antique Association, Zhang Zhaosong."

Pei Miao asked, "Who? The one who bought Ziganghu?"

"Yes." Huang Lao nodded and said, "Don't look at his appearance, he used to be a jade appraisal expert in the Palace Museum, and his attainments in jade antiques are definitely top in the country."

Pei Miao exclaimed, "No wonder you're willing to spend 8000 million yuan to buy this Oklahoma pot. It turns out that you are an expert in ancient jade wares."

Huang Lao went on to say: "The person who bid with him in the end is not simple, he is also an expert in ancient jade, but he is a folk expert, the kind of self-taught, don't underestimate him, he is from a family of antiques, he has been exposed to antiques since he was a child , has published several books on ancient jade, and has given many academic lectures.”

At this moment, Geng Congyun laughed and said, "Zhou Gaoyu, he and I are old acquaintances."

Huang Lao patted his forehead and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot that you are still here. By the way, you are very similar to this Zhou Gaoyu, and you have similar hobbies, so you had a very good relationship back then."

Geng Congyun nodded with a smile and said, "Yeah, it's been so many years. Back then, I had a similar interest with him, and we went to the jade market with him every few days. My wife almost suspected that there was someone out there."

Huang Lao said happily: "It seems that this auction has really attracted all the celebrities from all sides. Pei Miao, you really have it."

Pei Miao smiled and said, "That's for sure. Of these antiques that are up for auction, which one is not an incomparably treasured treasure? If it wasn't for the sake of completely building up the reputation of our auction company, I definitely wouldn't be able to put these treasures up for auction."

In the middle of their conversation, Hou Lanhua has already started inviting out the next lot.

Since this is a mixed auction of antiques and jewelry, the order of the auction is to shoot three pieces of antiques in succession, then three pieces of jewelry in succession, and then three pieces of antiques in succession, and so on.

The first three antiques have been photographed, and now the fourth treasure, which is coming up, is jewelry.

I saw another beautiful woman carrying a tray on the stage, this time there was no red cloth on the tray, but there were four boxes on the tray, neatly arranged in a row.

Hou Lanhua opened the four boxes one by one. At the same time, the cameraman moved the camera forward, and the enlarged images of the jewelry in the four boxes appeared on the big screen.

"Wow—" the audience exclaimed.

The four pieces of jewelry are: two pieces of sky-blue landscape plates of glass type, one sky-blue water drop pendant of glass type, and a pair of sky-blue face rings of glass type.

A pair of facets are placed in a box, so the box is four.

Glass sky blue, a top-level jadeite, is quite rare, and it is more suitable for young women than glass emperor green, and it is almost versatile.

As soon as the enlarged picture of this set of jewelry appeared on the big screen, the audience gasped in surprise, because it was so beautiful.

Li Fanyin on the seat was so excited that her hands trembled a little when she saw these jewelry. To be honest, she was still a little worried. Although she was not short of money, her money was not brought by the strong wind. Come and raise the price with yourself, after all, the prices of the three antiques in front are really crazy.

Next, Hou Lanhua began to introduce these pieces of jewelry. In fact, there is nothing to introduce. The words "sky blue made of glass" have already proved its precious value. Too much is useless.

However, this set of jewelry is auctioned as a set, not individually, because it saves time.

The auction begins, with a starting price of 200 million, and each increase should not be less than 10.

In an instant, frying pans appeared again at the venue, but the crowd of frying pans was different. The previous crowds of frying pans were all playing antiques. This time, the crowd of frying pans were all playing with jade and jewelry. Representatives of many jewelry companies Also participated in the auction, such a good jewelry, take it back and put it in the shop, isn't it delicious?

In fact, these pieces of jewelry are not big. The largest is the Shanshui brand, which only weighs more than [-] grams.

These are all made from the scraps of the bracelet core, and now they are being auctioned as treasures. The most precious thing is the bracelet, but those two bracelets were bought by Chen Wei and Li Xueyang, and each bracelet sold for 7000 million.

Pei Miao was looking forward to seeing these people bidding in the background. He really wanted to know if his bracelet was sold at a loss.

People in the jewelry industry are indeed richer than those in the antique industry. They felt that one hundred thousand per plus was too unpleasant, and they quickly changed to 20 per plus. After a while, the price soared to five million. With less than half of the bidders, the venue became more orderly and less noisy, but there were still many bidders.

Li Fanyin held his No. 66 brand in his hand, and never made a bid. Bidding too early was useless and a waste of saliva.

Soon, the price rose to 800 million, and a large number of bidders were eliminated. Now only a dozen people are bidding.

To be honest, although the materials of these few jewelry are rare, they are all small jewelry after all. The price of 800 million is almost the same.

Backstage, Cao Xiaojin said: "The estimated transaction price is 880 million, which is still 80 short."

Finally, the price exceeded 900 million, and several people gave up bidding.

Li Fanyin shook the sign in his hand again, ready to bid at any time.

The price exceeded 1000 million, and only the last three people were left to bid. Li Fanyin decisively raised the sign and said loudly, "1100 million!"

She added 100 million in one go, which is called using momentum to instantly kill her opponent.

The three people who were originally bidding were stunned when they heard the sound, and the other two gave up, but a fat lady turned her head to look at Li Fanyin, raised her placard unconvinced, and shouted: "1200 million!"

Li Fanyin continued to raise the placard: "1300 million!"

The fat woman turned her head again, this time staring directly at Li Fanyin, then raised the sign and said loudly: "1500 million!"

Like Li Fanyin, she wanted to scare him away with her aura.

Li Fanyin is generally courageous, but it is a bit difficult to scare her with money. This time, in order to participate in this auction, she specially brought [-] million pocket money.

Seeing the fat woman turning her head and sneering at herself, which was provocative, Li Fanyin smiled lightly, raised the sign, and calmly said, "3000 million!"

The fat woman was dumbfounded when she heard this, and the other people in the venue also exclaimed, thinking they heard it wrong, they had never seen such a price increase, and it was impossible to spend such money even if they had mines at home.

Seeing that everyone in the audience exclaimed, Li Fanyin enjoyed this feeling very much, and it felt so good to be able to surprise these rich people so much.

Cao Xiaojin in the backstage was already so excited that he was about to go mad, and said excitedly: "Keep adding, keep adding..."

On the other hand, Pei Miao sighed: "If I had known that those two bracelets would not have been sold to Li Xueyang and Chen Wei, they would definitely be worth more than [-] million at the auction, which would be a huge loss."

The fat woman turned to look at Li Fanyin, Li Fanyin gave her a polite smile, but in the eyes of the fat woman, she was laughing at herself.

When had a fat woman been so angry? She was the only one who insulted others with money!So she raised the sign again. When she raised the sign, a man next to her was obviously pulling her arm, trying to stop her. Obviously, the man saw that she was getting better and advised her to be more rational.

However, the fat woman had great strength, and the man didn't hold her back. The fat woman still held up the sign and said, "4000 million!"

Hou Lanhua said: "Ms. No. 39 bid 4000 million! Who else offered a higher price?"

Li Fanyin held up a placard without hesitation: "6000 million!"

The audience was in an uproar again, and many people asked in low voices: "Who is this beauty? She is too awesome."

There were quite a few ladies present, but many of them came with their men. Their men may be very rich, but it is impossible for them to control such a large amount of money. Seeing Li Fanyin lightly bid tens of millions for jewelry , these women all cast envious and jealous eyes on her.

The fat woman still wanted to raise a sign, but the man beside her hugged her desperately, and kept saying, "Honey, don't get on top, don't get on top, it's not worth it, it's really not worth it..."

The fat woman struggled vigorously, but unfortunately her husband hugged her desperately, she couldn't break free, she could only watch the countdown of Lanhua on the stage, and finally the hammer fell and the deal was finalized, this set of jewelry was sold.

The staff came to Li Fanyin with this set of jewelry, and the transaction was on-site. Li Fanyin gracefully took out her own card and swiped the card to pay. Looking at this set of exquisite jewelry, a happy smile appeared on her face.

But the fat woman was so angry that she left the scene angrily, and her husband could only chase her away.

The auction will continue.

The next auction is the Taoyuan Sanjieyi Pen Holder and the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Brush Washer. Although they are pen holders and brush washers, because they are carved from precious jadeite and are masterpieces, they still belong to the jewelry category. The old rules, in order to save time, These two things do not support single auctions, but complete auctions.

After Hou Lanhua gave a detailed explanation, she started bidding. The starting price was 1000 million, and each increase should not be less than 10.

The starting price of 1000 million surprised everyone in the audience, but those who were surprised were all laymen.

There were not many people participating in the bidding for this set of jade pen stand and brush washer, only a dozen or so, but these dozen of people were all true jade lovers, including Zhang Zhaosong and Zhou Gaoyu.

Even though there were only a dozen or so people bidding, 10 minutes later, the price soared from 1000 million to 7000 million, and there were still 7 people bidding. Those who are experts have high loyalty.

Suddenly, a person joined in, and there were eight people. The addition of this person made the other seven people feel great pressure. This person is not actually a jade trader. His name is Ma Changjian. Ma Chenggong is collectively known as the two horses of local tyrants. He is also a well-known entrepreneur who is extremely high on the rich list. He once topped the domestic rich list. Although he only lasted for three months, it also proved his strong economic strength.

Although Ma Changjian is not a jade lover, he likes to play, dance, write, sing and dance.

Since Ma Changjian likes to write and write, of course he is interested in the things of the study room, and with his worth, it is normal to have an extremely expensive study room, so he took a fancy to this set of emerald pen holders and Brush wash.

Originally, those people added 10 yuan, and the bidding was very orderly. Ma Changjian participated like a shit stick, and directly added 200 million yuan. In an instant, the price soared to 1.5 million yuan.

The other six people gave up, and only one middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old was still persisting.

The price soared to 1.85 million, and the middle-aged man knew that he was no match for Ma Changjian, so he could only sigh and chose to give up.

Ma Changjian smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

The two were only a few seats apart, the middle-aged man smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Ma is joking."

Ma Changjian said: "I know what you want to buy. You also want to break through to the master level. It doesn't matter. After the auction is over, I invite you to come and see this pair of treasures. How about it?"

The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Thank you, Mr. Ma."

Ma Changjian waved his hands cheerfully: "You're welcome, it's a small matter."

When the orchid countdown was over and the hammer fell, the staff sent the jadeite pen stand and brush washer to Ma Changjian for the transaction.

Continuing with the auction, the next auction is a 2.5kg piece of raw material of high-ice type jadeite with clear water and floating flowers. This material has few cracks, less cotton, extremely high water head, infinitely close to glass type, and has four bracelet bits. .

Those who are interested in this kind of thing are basically major jewelers. Of course, there are also some wealthy local tyrants participating in the bidding, and some people like to buy raw materials to make things by themselves.

This piece of raw material was finally won by Chen Wei's younger brother at a price of 3800 million, which was 200 million higher than the expected transaction price.

The market price of jade raw materials is so high, it is basically impossible to fetch an outrageous price.

Even the sky-blue glass jewelry from before actually had a market price, but it happened to meet someone like Li Fanyin who had a lot of money and that fat woman who was easy to get on top of, and the price was unbelievable.

After the auction of the three jewels, it's the turn of the antiques.

The antiques that appeared this time were Pei Miao's four huanghuali armchairs from the Ming Dynasty. According to the old rules, there was a complete set of auctions, and single auctions were not supported.

The expected transaction price of this set of huanghuali armchairs is 3800 million, which is lower than the previous transaction price at Christie's.

Why is this? Because the last time Christie's auctioned armchairs, the situation was similar to this auction. They happened to meet two people who both wanted it.

The estimated transaction price is based on the market price, which is slightly higher than the market price. The price of 3800 million is more pertinent.

Now the starting price of this set of armchairs is 800 million, and each increase should not be less than 10.

After the auction started, there was no frying pan phenomenon, and there were about 20 bidders.

After a few minutes, when the price reached 2000 million, each price increase became 20.

After a while, it reached 3200 million, and there were only five bidders left, which shows that the expected transaction price is relatively accurate.

When the price reaches 3700 million, it seems that there are only two people left to bid, and these two people are definitely the focus of the audience, because these two people are Ma Changjian and Ma Chenggong.

This is definitely the first time in history that two horses are auctioned.

Seeing that there were only two of them left, Ma Changjian turned his head towards Ma Chenggong, smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, I like to be arty, so why don't you give me this set of chairs?"

Ma Chenggong smiled and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ma, I also like this chair very much."

"Alright then, let's continue filming."

Therefore, the two Ma Boss started bidding in this way. The key point is that they still increased the price by 20 each time.

After a long time, the price reached 8000 million. Everyone in the audience was speechless. Some even yawned and asked, "When are they going to shoot?"

Someone replied: "With their financial resources, there is no pressure to bid until dark today."

Someone next to him said: "Don't say it's dark today, there's no pressure to shoot until it's dark tomorrow."
