Chapter 31 Success

"Fifty thousand." Bai Yinqing's faint voice sounded again.

Suddenly, the bidding in the entire venue was 70% less.

If you buy something that you don’t know what it is for 50,000 yuan, you have to hesitate. What’s more, with the shrewdness of the auction house, they are helpless, how could these non-professional people open it?

"Are you not afraid of compensation?" Zhao Lidong asked tentatively.

Because of Bai Yin's persistence, Zhao Lidong always felt that the things inside had extraordinary origins and he had the intention to join it.

Bai Yin glanced at him and said, "If you have the ability to open it, I will give it to you immediately."

That was a wood that could not even be penetrated by bullets... Zhao Lidong immediately put his mind on it when he thought of this.

When Bai Yin called for 60,000 yuan, no one finally competed with her, and the box was successfully bought by Bai Yin.

Zhao Lidong then coughed, and he asked with an itchy heart: "Can you open it? Can you let me see it when it is opened?"

Bai Yin smiled, and could see that she was in a good mood. However, it was not only Zhao Lidong who discovered this smile, but also Zheng Yuankai and Huang Ying noticed something was wrong.

However, the next second, Bai Yin curled her smile and decisively rejected Zhao Lidong: "No."

Zhao Lidong choked, he had not been rejected so simply. He touched his chin, and then said, "Are you still holding a grudge against me for buying your peach wood talisman at a low price? That has nothing to do with me, it's all the price that Lao Zheng has suppressed."

When Zheng Yuankai saw Zhao Lidong backhand, he sold him and picked him up. Now it was his turn to choke. Then Zheng Yuankai stared at Zhao Lidong with a smile, making him feel terrified.

Although Zhao Lidong said it casually, Bai Yin could see that he was really afraid that she would still hold a grudge in her heart. Perhaps it was because of the attitudes of Zheng Yuankai and Huang Ying that made him feel a sense of crisis, so he took this opportunity to confirm it again.

Bai Yin said helplessly: "This is how business matters are based on their own abilities. I really have nothing else to say."

"Then..." Why did he simply reject his plan to see the wooden box without leaving any room for anything?

Most people just refuse such a thing.

Bai Yin saw Zhao Lidong's unfulfilled intentions, and she jokingly said, "I'm afraid you will be jealous, and then I regret not robbing this thing from me just now."

Even if he was competing for the other party's identity as a Feng Shui master, what a precious item it would be? Zhao Lidong guessed in his heart, but the next second he spoke curiously: "How do you know what is here?"

Bai Yin shrugged and said, "There is nothing that is placed in a box made of such a mechanism that is not priceless."

The completely seamless wooden box looks like a complete piece of wood, which cannot be poured in and cannot be invaded by fire. Carpenters with this kind of craftsmanship were only a handful of invasions in ancient times. How could they spend so much effort to store cheap things? It may be the treasure of the house guarding the house of a prince, general, and minister.

In her previous life, many people used boxes like this when offering treasures to her, so Bai Yin took photos of it without any burden.

Seeing that Bai Yin really didn't mean to open it for them on the spot, Zhao Lidong even felt curious, but he didn't say anything else.

Bai Yin watched everyone's attention focus on the auction again, and she laughed and shook her head. This is how people look. When they haven't seen the real thing, no matter how expensive the language is, it is difficult to feel jealous and envious. However, once they see the real thing, their eyes will turn red.

The finale of the auction is not that rare, which makes Bai Yin a little puzzled why Zhao Lidong insists on staying, and looks like he has been waiting for a long time and is determined to win.

Not only Zhao Lidong, but also many other people in the auction venues have the same expression.

After the last antique that was pressed on the platform appeared, the entire auction suddenly became noisy and there was a lot of discussion everywhere.

The auctioneer stood on the stage and announced loudly: "Now is the last item sold in this game. I believe everyone has been waiting for it for a long time. Before the auction starts, you can come to the stage to verify it yourself. This is a licensed by this auction house today."

As soon as the auctioneer said something, the people below were a little ready to move. After the auctioneer completely revealed the exhibits, people below began to rush to the stage one after another.

Bai Yin had a very good eye. Although the distance here is not short, more than ten meters away, she still saw what was on the stage.

It was just a leaf of paper, with clear handwriting on it.

Bai Yin recited a few words silently, and then suddenly said, "This is the "Yongle Encyclopedia".

Now, Zhao Lidong, who was about to raise his foot, turned his head and said strangely: "How do you know?"

He remembered that he had never told Bai Yin!

Bai Yin gave Zhao Lidong a blank look, but she didn't answer, just said, "If you don't go up, you won't be able to see it."

Zhao Lidong was shocked and realized that he looked at the people who were already surrounding the stage and hurriedly walked up.

Seeing Zhao Lidong so hurried, Bai Yin turned around and asked Zheng Yuankai and Huang Ying in confusion: "Why is it so sensational when the "Yongle Encyclopedia" appears?"

This is just one of the leaves, not a single volume. Even if it is an antique now, there is no need for so many people to compete for it, right?

Huang Ying originally thought Bai Yin knew a lot, but Bai Yin suddenly had no idea about this kind of thing, which made her a little strange, but she still explained: "The Yongle Encyclopedia was lost a lot when the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. In the late Qing Dynasty, due to the invasion, the country now has only about one hundred volumes left in several museums."

There were only so many left in the "Yongle Encyclopedia" with more than 20,000 volumes?!

For a moment, Bai Yin's mood was hard to understand.

But soon, Bai Yin put this emotion behind his mind. Since the Ming Dynasty had all been destroyed, what's more important about such things?

Times change, dynasties collapse. Times are fate.

Bai Yin thought about it for a while, and she also got up and prepared to take a look at her former enlightenment book.

Speaking of this, Bai Yin suddenly remembered the scene where he was forced to read the "Yongle Encyclopedia".

Seeing Bai Yin grin inexplicably and showing a sore expression, Huang Ying burst into laughter.

Excluding the identity of Feng Shui master, this little girl is indeed quite interesting.

——

When Zhao Lidong finished observing the "Yongle Encyclopedia", he looked up and saw Bai Yin frowning, as well as those behind Bai Yin who felt they were wasting their time watching because a little girl was watching here.

Seeing this, Zhao Lidong hurriedly pulled Bai Yin out.

Because Bai Yin's expression was too serious just now, Zhao Lidong also understood that she probably knew something.

So Zhao Lidong looked around and asked in a low voice: "What did you see?"

Bai Yin curled her lips and asked back, "What about you? Do you think this thing is true or false?"

Zhao Lidong glanced at Bai Yin vigilantly, and then he thought that with Bai Yin's financial resources, she was not worth worrying about now. His opponents were those who were still on the stage.

After figuring this out, Zhao Lidong said cheerfully: "I think this thing is real."

There is no problem with paper and handwriting. Isn’t it true?

Bai Yin glanced at Zhao Lidong who was still in an excited state. She shook her head and said bluntly: "Fake it."

Zhao Lidong asked suspiciously: "How do you know?"

Not only did he think this thing is real, but most people on the stage feel so, and they are ready to compete for their strength. But Zhao Lidong suddenly heard Bai Yin say it was fake. He wanted to figure out where she judged it so that he could make a reference so as not to get a look.

After all, the things in the auction house may not be 100% genuine.

Bai Yin moved the corners of her mouth. She couldn't say that this was different from what she had seen before, right?

If there is any difference, Bai Yin really can't say it. After all, things from the Ming Dynasty were really not antiques to her, so she had not deliberately studied them. As for the tea set in Zhao Lidong's shop, she could see that it was entirely based on her understanding of Song Dynasty porcelain.

When Zhao Lidong saw Bai Yin stuck, he smiled and said confidently: "I have been immersed in the antique industry for so many years. Although I am not completely blind, I rarely buy fakes."

What's more, because he was determined to win the "Yongle Encyclopedia", he had studied it specifically, so it was difficult to make mistakes.

Seeing that Zhao Lidong didn't believe her words at all, Bai Yin shook her head indifferently. She was not a person who liked to be verbally verbally and kind, so she was too lazy to try to persuade her.

About half an hour later, the appraisal time given by the auction venue ended, and Zhao Lidong and Bai Yin also sat back in their seats.

The starting price of this "Yongle Encyclopedia" is 50,000 yuan, and each increase must not be less than 5,000 yuan. However, as soon as the auctioneer said the word "start the auction", the atmosphere in the venue became tense.

"Seventy thousand!" Someone raised a sign not far away.

Zhao Lidong followed closely: "80,000."

...

In this way, the price of the auction rose to 500,000 and gradually became sparse.

After all, no matter how precious the "Yongle Encyclopedia" is, it is just one of them.

Seeing that Zhao Lidong followed the price all the way, Bai Yin did not hesitate at all, and her expression flashed with doubt.

It's just an antique, and Zhao Lidong seems to have worked too hard.

Zheng Yuankai saw Bai Yin’s confusion, and he hurriedly said, “He has three leaves in his hands now, and this one is four leaves. He is planning to take pictures and donate them to the provincial museum.”

After hearing this, Bai Yin understood it instantly.

Zhao Lidong is the largest antique dealer in the city, but looking at the province, he can only rank in the top three. Since he wants to continue to develop, he must have a relationship with the provincial museum. By then, he will become the leader of antique dealer in the province, and these few millions will be nothing.

Bai Yin just heard Huang Ying say that this thing is treasured in museums in a few provinces. Use this to impress the provincial museums, and you don’t have to worry about the other party not being moved.

But this is obviously fake... Bai Yin glanced at Zhao Lidong sympathetically.
