Liu Chuan's guess was correct. Zhuang Rui wanted to sell it and give it to Qin Xuanbing. After the kiss the night before, Zhuang Rui felt Qin Xuanbing's affection even though he was a piece of wood. When he saw such a beautiful shawl, he moved.
I bought it as a gift for Qin Xuanbing.
"Twenty thousand..."
Boss Ma quickly called out the price. In his opinion, this boy who refused to sell the dog was deliberately going against himself. Others in the tent obviously had no interest in this shawl and were all watching from the sidelines.
"Boss Ma offered 20,000 yuan. Are you friends from Boss Liu's side still interested?"
Although this shawl is only a small item worth tens of thousands of yuan, Langjie still values the first item in the auction. It is a good start anyway, so at this moment, he is shouting hard, hoping that Zhuang Rui will bid again.
"Brother Zhuang, don't buy this thing. Raising the price like this will only encourage those who hunt Tibetan antelopes."
Zhou Rui held Zhuang Rui with his arm and whispered in his ear.
At this time, the famous Hoh Xil movie had not yet come out, and Chinese people didn’t know much about Tibetan antelopes. Zhuang Rui also thought that Tibetan antelopes were ordinary animals, not much different from cattle and sheep. After hearing Zhou Rui’s words, he was a little curious
Asked: "Brother Zhou, are there very few Tibetan antelopes? Why did Lang Jie just now say that people who hunt Tibetan antelopes have a bad reputation?"
"Nonsense. In 1990, the number of Tibetan antelopes was about 1 million. By 1995, it dropped to 75,000. I'm afraid that now, there are not even 70,000 left. Do you know that just this shawl, at least
We need to hunt three adult Tibetan antelopes. Some people call this shawl a shroud. Can you feel comfortable wearing this?"
Zhou Rui glared at Zhuang Rui angrily, and then explained to him the current situation of the Tibetan antelope. After hearing the words "shroud", Zhuang Rui shivered all over, and then looked at the shawl.
At that time, all I could think about was the bloody corpse of the Tibetan antelope, but I no longer had any interest in the shawl.
Zhuang Rui watched in a low voice and did not continue to increase the price. Langjie was a little disappointed. However, this thing was just an appetizer. He spent a lot of time preparing the black market. Naturally, it was not to sell this shawl. He immediately paid 20,000 yuan for it.
price, the transaction was announced.
Speaking of which, this fat man has taken a lot of advantage. Such a Shatoosh shawl can be sold for at least tens of thousands of dollars in Europe. The difference between 20,000 RMB and tens of thousands of dollars is so huge.
This is also one of the reasons why black market auctions continue to be banned.
Although the fat man took the photo of the shawl, he was not very happy. He had held back all his energy to compete with Zhuang Rui, but he didn't expect that after Zhuang Rui called out the price once, he actually stopped, which made him feel like a fist.
I waved it out, but it hit the air.
"I said Langjie, we're not here to see these disgusting things. Let's get something real."
Old man Xie seemed to know the origin of the shawl. He looked at the fat boss with eyes full of contempt and said to Lang Jie.
"Okay, I believe you will like this item below."
Langjie wasn't angry either. He signaled to the young man next to him. The man quickly walked to the isolated area in the tent. The things he took out this time were not placed on the plate. It couldn't be put down, because
This is a bronze vessel with a total height of approximately 70 cm and a base height of approximately 20 cm.
The young man held the bronze in his arms, walked around the crowd, and placed it on the table in the middle of the tent.
"I believe everyone is familiar with this. This is a money tree from the Han Dynasty. Such a well-preserved money tree is probably not found in some major museums. The base price is 180,000 RMB. Friends who are interested can come and take a look.
."
Langjie speaks very skillfully. If you are interested in buying, come up and check it out. Otherwise, you might as well sit down and drink tea. The reason why Langjie's black market is famous is not because of the number of people participating in his black market, but because of the number of people who participate in his black market.
Most of the items that come out of his black market are high-quality products. Of course, there are also fakes, so buyers can only think that they have insufficient eyesight.
"Money tree? Hey, that name bodes well."
The fat man stood up from the chair with great difficulty. His carrot hands pinched the breasts of the charming woman next to him, and then he walked slowly towards the table with the money tree.
"The whole thing..."
The old man Xie, who was sitting not far from Zhuang Rui, cursed lightly and got up and stepped forward, but he was holding a magnifying glass and a small file as big as a nail clipper in his hand.
"Zhuang Rui, what is a money tree?"
Liu Chuan touched Zhuang Rui and asked in a low voice.
"Nonsense, a money tree is a money tree. Haven't you heard the story of a money tree when you were a kid?"
Zhuang Rui's reply made Liu Chuan almost twist his nose in anger. This is nonsense. What he was asking was the origin of this money tree.
But there was no need for him to ask anymore. The two people who had moved their chairs away from Liu Chuan just now were also talking about this money tree. The middle-aged man in his forties was giving money to the young man who came with him.
, explained the origin of the money tree, but it made Liu Chuan and Zhuang Rui, who was also confused, hear it clearly.
"The money tree has also been called the money tree or the sacred tree since ancient times. It was widely spread in the southwest region during the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is the most wonderful and outstanding expression of the sacred tree plastic art in Chinese myths and legends.
This kind of money tree has only been unearthed in places such as Sichuan and Hubei. This object was mainly used as a precious decoration on the shrine at home by the powerful nobles at that time, or as a special item buried with the powerful family. It is a symbol of power, status, wealth, and honor.
A symbol of auspiciousness, if Langjie is real, I don’t know which prince’s tomb has been robbed in that part of Sichuan.”
The middle-aged man spoke in a very organized manner. Not only did he explain the origin of the money tree clearly, he even gave a guess as to the origin of the bronze money tree in front of him. It was a bit like a university teacher explaining to his students.
"Bullshit, let's talk about how much it's worth." Liu Chuan, a rough guy, muttered dissatisfiedly after hearing this.
After the middle-aged man spoke, he also stood up and stepped forward to check. Even the Japanese man came around with a magnifying glass. Zhuang Rui looked around, and it seemed that there was just a small group of three of them, and the one wearing sunglasses.
The woman showed no interest in this cash cow.
Except for the fat man, these people pretended to walk around the money tree and then returned to their chairs. The other people looked very carefully, from the leaves and branches to the ground, almost holding a magnifying glass to check every inch. Old Man Xie
After Langjie's consent, he used a file to scrape off a little powder from the copper branches and the ceramic base of the money tree, and put it in his mouth to taste it. Zhuang Rui and the others watched with disgust.
Since there were only a few people and they were all old customers, Langjie let them do the appraisal without any time limit, because he had already made an appraisal on the authenticity of this bronze money tree.
The price Langjie collected was only 15,000 yuan, and for the sake of portability, when the seller handed it to him, they were all dismantled pieces. He pieced them together himself, so they were definitely Han Dynasty bronzes.
Therefore, even if only one person puts a price on this object among the people present, as long as he can sell it for 180,000 yuan, he will definitely make a profit. This time, the black market will not be in vain.
They took a long time to identify the money tree, and it was already past 12 noon. Langjie asked people to put the freshly grilled whole sheep, beef, cold yak tongue, steamed buns, sweet tea, milk tea, yogurt and other drinks on the table.
On a dining car, a tent was rolled out for everyone inside to choose from, and several bottles of soju were also provided.
Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan were both hungry at this moment, and they didn't care about so much at the moment. They ate with wine and food, but Zhou Rui didn't touch the food, but took the food that he brought from the car.
I broke the biscuits into pieces and put them in my mouth. I also brought the water I drank.
Not only Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan were eating, the fat man was also eating with his mouth full of oil, but he didn't drink any wine. Only the girl in sunglasses and her companion were eating what they brought. They didn't like the food provided by the black market at all.
None moved.
After the people below had almost eaten and drank enough, those who went forward to appraise the food came back. Their faces were the same as when they first went up, and no change could be seen at all.
Liu Chuan looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't tell from the faces of those people whether this money tree was real or fake, so he couldn't help but cursed bitterly: "A bunch of old foxes."
"Everyone, do you want to eat something to calm your stomach first, or should we start now?"
Langjie asked after waiting for several people to sit back on their chairs.
"One less meal will keep you from starving to death, let's get started."
Old man Xie glanced at the fat boss with oily lips and replied angrily.
"Okay, let's get started. I believe everyone has seen it clearly. What I, Lang Jie, have taken out are definitely high-quality products. This bronze money tree from the Han Dynasty has a base price of 180,000 yuan. Friends, please bid."
Anyway, this is not an auction house, so Langjie did not forget to encourage Zhuang Rui and others who did not go up to appraise the auction. However, after he finished speaking, the tent became silent, and no one bid.
Langjie was not in a hurry, the old god was waiting there, but he knew that in 1993, a Han Dynasty bronze money tree was sold abroad for 2.5 million US dollars, although the bronze tree was a large piece
, is more than 2 meters high, but if his bronze tree is placed in a regular auction house, the final price will definitely not be less than 3 million RMB. His starting price is only 180,000 RMB. He does not believe that the people present
A few old players are not tempted.
"One hundred and eighty thousand..."
Someone finally spoke, but it was the middle-aged man who just told the origin of this money tree.
"Two hundred thousand..." Someone took the lead. Before Lang Jie could encourage him, Old Man Xie also offered the price.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand..."
"Two hundred and eighty thousand..."
"Three hundred thousand..." The price was rising rapidly, and Mr. Jiang actually made a quotation, but everyone in the tent wanted it. He must have received the Japanese's instruction, after all, he didn't go up to check just now.
The most surprising thing was that Boss Ma, who was the first to run up, sat firmly on his chair without any intention of speaking.
