Li Han knew that the purpose of the three people was unclear, and the meaning of the Golden Buddha to the three people, but he also knew that if he could dispatch a warship to find the Golden Buddha, he must not know the meaning.
"Han, what's wrong with you? You're looking so sad." Liu Xiaoxiao, whose ears were troubled by a few classmates, didn't take the opportunity to run to Li Han's side to hide.
"It's okay, haha, your classmate didn't come?" Li Han asked with a smile.
"Come here, there's a lot of noise over there. They're really a bunch of little girls who have never seen the world." Liu Xiaoxiao's words made Li Han laugh. It's as if you are as affectionate as you are.
"Haha, where is your brother-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law, I am talking to Uncle Quan and the dean." Liu Xiaoxiao asked. "Do you have anything to do with brother-in-law?"
"That's right."
"I'll take you there."
With that said, he took Li Han and went to find Liu Ming. "Wait a minute."
"Dudu, you guys follow Aunt Natalie and don't run around, you know?" Li Han said a few words to the villains. "Dudu, don't be naughty."
Finally, don't forget to tell Dudu, don't leave ants, spiders, centipedes and other insects around, they will make a big noise and arouse suspicion.
Gao Xiaofeng, Gao Zhen, and Zhu Hongjun all attracted attention. "Dudu got it." Little man, nod his head.
"good."
Li Han and Liu Xiaoxiao came to the lounge next to them.
"Han, here we come."
"Han, let me introduce to you. This is President Yue of the National Museum of China, and this is President Sun of the Metropolitan Museum of Art..." Liu Ming pulled Li Han to help introduce them.
This room is definitely filled with bigwigs from the cultural relics industry, as well as some from the collection industry. As for the rich, only the top 100 in the country are eligible to enter. As for the celebrities, they can only stay outside.
Li Han had no choice but to chat with everyone for a while, and then he had time to pull Liu Ming aside. "What's the matter?" Liu Ming asked.
"It's not a big deal, but there are a few Southeast Asians outside, have you noticed?" Li Han said.
"I know what you are talking about, but what's wrong? How dare these people come to China to run wild?" Liu Ming said with a bit of disdain. If this small country in Southeast Asia hadn't been backed by someone, it would have been taught a lesson.
"Being wild isn't a big deal. I'm afraid these guys will pay a high price, but Dean Cui won't be easy to explain here." Li Han said.
After all, Li Han didn't want to sell the Golden Buddha to a foreign country. If Dean Cui couldn't offer a high price here, Molika and the others paid a high price to buy it. For the sake of international reputation, he didn't want to hand over the Golden Buddha, but he had to hand it over.
come out.
"This is possible. Dean Cui and I will talk about it."
Liu Ming nodded, not to mention, looking at the appearance of several countries, they attach great importance to this golden Buddha, it is really possible.
When Cui Jiandong heard this, he was furious. These Japanese barbarians actually ran to his door to grab things. "This golden Buddha must not fall into the hands of foreigners under any circumstances." Cui Jiandong said. "Lao Sun, Lao Yue and I
Let’s discuss it.”
Cui Jiandong brought only 400 million yuan, but when he came to the scene, he found that there were more than ten billionaires in this car alone, and almost everyone in the collecting industry came, as well as some agents. These people
, especially several business groups in eastern Zhejiang and the southeast coast are very interested in this golden Buddha.
One by one, they waited for the auction. It should be said that the southeastern coast is much more pious about Buddhism than the north. They might pay a sky-high price to invite them back. This has actually been done before.
At this time, Cui Jiandong was anxious and planned to discuss with several museums and prepare for the worst. Cui Jiandong left in a hurry.
"I told Dean Cui about this. I will pay attention to these Southeast Asians. This Buddha statue will never leave the country." Liu Ming said, if it doesn't work, he will take the photo himself.
"Then I'll feel relieved."
The auction will begin soon. You must know that this special auction will not only auction the Golden Buddha, but also other items, including various porcelains salvaged from the sea, from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China. There are nearly 500 items.
There are also various other artifacts, dozens of pieces, and some other auction items, mixed in among them, the finale is a Qianlong jade seal, and the last one is the Golden Buddha.
Li Han just took out the jade seal today. Han Tao was very excited and happy when he saw it. Besides being excited, he was a little bit regretful. If Han could have taken it out earlier and promoted it better, this would have been another sensational collection.
"Good evening everyone."
Unexpectedly, Han Tao actually hosted it himself. "Han Tao is very interested in this auction."
"That's because, for this auction, Han Tao is risking his own future."
"I've heard that Han Tao strives to hold this special auction. Even though many people in Rongbao Auction House are dissatisfied with Han Tao's actions, let alone other auction houses, it's good that Han Tao succeeded this time.
, I have a solid position in Rongbao Auction House. If I fail, I will not only lose my job, but it will also be difficult to work in the auction house in the future."
"So serious."
Li Han was a little surprised that Han Tao had gambled so much. No wonder Han Tao was so excited when he took out the Qianlong Jade Seal.
"Rongbao Auction House holds a special Spring Festival auction."
Han Tao said with a smile. "Everyone has seen the brochure in their hands. I am here to announce something. In addition to the antiques and works of art in the brochure, there will be a surprise waiting for everyone."
"Surprise, is it the Golden Buddha?"
"I don't think so. The golden Buddha is on the booklet."
"Tell me, this guy doesn't try to be mysterious."
Li Han thought of Han Tao's words in the afternoon and smiled. This surprise was quite big. It was a Qianlong jade seal. This kind of thing is rarely auctioned in China and can usually be found in the Spring and Autumn Sale of top auction houses.
"Han, this surprise doesn't have anything to do with you, does it?" Liu Ming asked with a smile while holding the wine glass.
"Haha, that's right." Li Han said.
"Oh, tell me, what's the surprise?" Liu Ming sat up straight and asked.
"A Qianlong jade seal." Li Han said.
"The good thing, isn't it the ones from Dudu?" Liu Ming suddenly remembered the jade seals that Dudu had collected together as toys.
Li Han nodded. "The little guy took it out."
"Han, what big thing are you planning to do this time that requires so much capital?" Liu Mingxiao said. "How about I also take a share?"
"No, I'm just playing with the little guy."
Li Han said. "By the way, I don't have a few experts to say about Yuxi, so it doesn't matter, right?"
"It's okay. Don't look at the bustle outside. In fact, there are a lot of these things in the Forbidden City," Liu Ming said.
If Cui Jiandong and Quan Anguo hear these words, they will definitely knock Liu Ming on the head. Many jade seals are like cabbage, especially during the Qianlong period. At that time, Hetian jade was the largest and best in history. At that time, jade seals were the best.
, if Hetian jade is definitely a good thing.
The auction was hosted by Han Tao, and the atmosphere was very lively. Although the time was short, Han Tao spent a lot of time to promote the auction. There were very few unsold auctions. The price of Hailo porcelain is not high in China. Many celebrities came to participate in the auction and joined in the fun and took pictures.
pieces.
Not to mention that everything is pretty good, rich people tend to buy some fine products from Song and Ming Dynasties for a higher price, which is also a good thing for collecting.
During the half-time break of the auction, Han Tao prepared a lot of snacks and drinks, just like a cocktail party. Several little guys ran over with snacks. "Dad, do you want some cake?"
"Haha, dad, if you don't want to eat, you can eat."
Li Han rubbed his head, pouted his little head, and smiled.
"Hee hee, Dad, Dudu has done the math and sold it for 53 million yuan." Dudu, a villain, said with a little excitement on his face.
"Yeah."
Li Han smiled and pinched Dudu's fleshy face. "Dudu has become a little rich woman."
"whee."
In the second half of the auction, items of higher value were sold. The set of Warring States Quan with great collection value was sold by the Guanfu Museum for 3.5 million. With the price of some good porcelain rising to one million, Han Tao prepared some works of art. , the value is quite high.
Not to mention, the auction volume has already exceeded 150 million yuan, and the final treasure has not yet appeared.
Rongbaozhai provided several items for auction. Official kiln porcelain from the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods was auctioned, and the auction amount exceeded 300 million. At the calligraphy and painting auction, a painting by Zhang Daqian sold for a high price of 35 million.
By the time the final Qianlong Jade Seal came out, the auction volume had exceeded 500 million. Han Tao, this time he was aiming for 1 billion. Although it was nothing compared to the Spring and Autumn Auction, for this kind of small special auction, 1 billion was definitely not low. .
Although the price of the auction was not too high, it was rich, large in quantity, and wide in span. Many people nodded secretly, Han Tao, this was a good event, especially some old people in the circle.
"Thank you everyone, haha, here is the surprise I mentioned at the beginning."
With that said, he asked a master of ceremonies to hold a box and walk onto the stage.
"Hey, this thing doesn't look big."
"I don't know, what is it?"
"Mr. Quan, Mr. Cui, do you know what medicine is in the little Han box?"
"Haha, this little Han, just said wait a minute and asked us old guys to help identify it. I really don't want to say anything." Before Cui Jiandong could finish his words, Han Tao opened the red cloth covering the jade seal.
"Ah, is it a jade seal?"
"Go for a walk and have a look."
Cui Jiandong was stunned for a moment, then stood up.
"Haha, since Xiao Han said so, we have to help."
Several old experts came directly to the stage. Han Tao was actually quite surprised. However, this jade seal was not bad. It was a white jade imperial seal. Han Tao estimated that based on the current market value, it would be auctioned for hundreds of millions, so it would not be a big problem.
"Good guy, this jade is of the highest quality Hetian white jade that is rare in jade seals." Although it is made from mountain material, the texture is so good that it is no worse than ordinary seed material, and it is not small. It looks like it is at least ten centimeters and taller than five. Centimeter, this square jade seal is really nice.
"I said, Lao Cui, you can't monopolize good things." Dean Sun and Dean Yue said with a smile, Cui Jiandong, this person will not let go of good things when he encounters them.
Many people in the world are whispering to each other and discussing. "It seems that it is something from Qianlong. Such a large piece of jade seal, according to the current market value, it is not difficult to sell it for 100 million yuan, right?"
People from several auction houses were secretly surprised that this Han Tao really had some skills to find such a good piece of jade seal. If it was going to be the Spring and Autumn Auction, it would be enough for the finale.
