Chapter 62 Black Game (1)

The three of them followed Xu Yinan to the largest villa in the deepest part of the courtyard. The villa had white walls and beautiful eaves, and on the top of the villa door, four large characters were clearly written in vermilion ink.

“Villa No. 1!”

"No. 1? Does it mean number one?"

Zhang Xiaotian always liked to talk nonsense, so Fang Fang couldn't help but glare at him.

"Brother Xiaotian is right, this is indeed number one!"

Xu Yinan didn't care, and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's go in!"

Opening the door of the villa and passing through the entrance hall, the first thing that catches the eye of Fang Fang is the walls surrounding the hall. There are a number of mahogany carved partitions fixed on them. These partitions are arranged at random intervals, and each partition has large and small signs placed on it.

Different types of pottery, porcelain, copper and gold and silverware, Fang Fang finally understood. No wonder his hands began to feel like spiritual energy was about to move from the moment he entered the villa. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

It seems that ever since I came back from the mountains, the spiritual energy in my hands has become more active than before, as if it is alive. As soon as I get close to an object with spiritual energy, it will fly out from my fingertips every minute.

It felt like this made him gradually lose control and feel powerless! He calmed down and used his mind to suppress the surging sea of ​​​​qi at his fingertips. He didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or whether the aura really understood his thoughts.

The fuss stopped, and Fang Fang looked intently into the hall!

What catches the eye is a very large living room full of ancient Chinese decoration style. There are not many things placed in the living room. Several mahogany carved wooden sofas are arranged in an orderly manner, and behind the sofa there are seven

Eight Taishi chairs, roughly made of pear wood, were placed in groups of three or two, with several pear wood tables standing next to them. At this moment, more than a dozen well-dressed and elegant guests were sitting casually.

Drinking tea and chatting on the seats, it is not difficult to tell from their decent clothes and elegant manners that these people are highly educated people who live at the top of the pyramid! When they heard Fang Fang and his party walking in, they all looked up and saw

Fang Fang and the others were slightly startled, but when their eyes glanced at Xu Yinan standing next to him, they all smiled slightly and nodded in greeting!

The living room is surrounded by several large golden nanmu screens, which are carved with majestic and beautiful pictures of mountains and rivers. Under the screen, there is a thick, soft and exotic ancient wool carpet. From here,

From the outside, the villa may look elegant and simple at best, but there is something special inside. It is really low-key, luxurious and connotative!

Fang Fang knew very well that gatherings like the one set up by Xu Yinan, where sellers and buyers privately bought or sold antiques in the form of auctions, were actually what is called a black game in the market! But... this kind of black game is not

The kind of ordinary black game on the market!

Ordinary black games usually involve a banker as the seller, and then call on buyers from all walks of life who are interested in the antique business. Among these people, there are both real antique collectors and some people who specialize in the antique business.

As a buyer, you trade antiques with sellers! However, in this kind of transaction, the authenticity of the object is not certain, and the chance of the buyer being noticed is very high, so this kind of crowd trading that contains deceptive elements in a sense is

Known as the "black game"!

As for the bureau organized by Xu Yinan, you can't just get in if you have money! The people who can come are all well-known figures in the capital. They know each other well and understand each other, and the sellers who provide the items are usually well-known in the industry.

People with accounts and no bad records are usually recommended by people they know well! However, the previous sellers only had three or two items in their hands, and the scale was not considered a bureau. At most, it was a private transaction.

This time, there are a total of thirty-three antiques from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which can be regarded as a veritable auction!

When it comes to auctions, we have to mention Fourth Master Qi’s auction company. Fang Fang also knows very well that the reason why Fourth Master Qi took over this matter so happily is that he actually has his own little secrets in mind.

The abacus, thirty-three items, how could he sell them all without leaving a single piece behind? He had every reason to say that he would keep the remaining small and inconspicuous items in their company for auction! He understood the equation but did not care about it.

You don’t have to worry about it yourself, and you even sold Fourth Master Qi a favor, so why not do it!

Just as he was thinking about it, Fang Fang heard Xu Yinan's clear voice speaking.

"The seller, Mr. Fang, was recommended by Fourth Master Qin Anqi. He is young and promising, and he is loyal! We are still saying the same thing. There is no clear price for antiques. It all depends on your own preferences. As an organizer, I will naturally search for reliable sellers for everyone.

But you, the buyer, still have to do the work of eye-catching by yourself. Since you are the eye-catcher, if something goes wrong in the future, you will definitely not be able to come back and settle old scores!"

Since ancient times, a gentleman has said something ugly before doing something, and Xu Yinan must be one of them.

"Mr. Xu, as the old saying goes, 'a hairless mouth means a weak job.' This young man looks young, can he do it..."

Looking at Fang Fang's handsome face, it's normal for some people to be skeptical. Maybe because the previous sellers were middle-aged and elderly, so a young man in his twenties or fives suddenly appeared, and they were still a little uncomfortable with it.

.

"Then there is an old saying that 'Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth'. Why didn't you remember it?"

Xu Yinan made a joke, and everyone laughed lightly.

"Everyone, please rest assured. I have dealt with this kid Xiaofang several times. He is mature, stable, and honest. I can vouch for it. He has no bad record of bullying customers!"

Fourth Master Qi said steadily with a sincere look.

This was the first time Fang Fang heard Fourth Master Dao Qi talking to others with such respect. In the antique circle of Qin'an City, there was probably no one who could let him lower his status like this. But this was the capital, so he glanced lightly.

Everyone in the circle couldn't help but calm down slightly and became serious!

"Okay, let's not waste any more time. If we're late, our dinner will be delayed!"

Xu Yinan glanced at the watch, then turned to look at the equation, nodded slightly to him to indicate that it was time to start, and then he found a conspicuous place to sit down!

Fang Fang understood and turned around to tell Zhou Yan and Zhang Xiaotian. He put his backpack on the long carved pear wood table aside. Then he put on the black velvet gloves he had prepared long ago and took out the first antique on display from his backpack.

A well-preserved three-color horse figurine from the Tang Dynasty was gently placed on the display stand in front of it.

It was quiet in the hall, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the extremely magnificent and shimmering Tang Sancai statue in the center of the venue.

"The first piece of the collection is a three-color horse figurine from the Tang Dynasty. The starting price is...two million!"
