Zhang Yuan, who was being planned, could only introduce Yang Xiaoyun instead.
"Who is this……"
"Yang Xiaoyun of the Yang family, tell me more about your beauty. It seems that the rumors are not all false."
Zhong Shan paused and continued.
"What a coincidence, my Xiao Yuan happens to be talented and capable."
The implication is that the two of them are handsome and talented.
The two of them were not fools, and they immediately understood the meaning. They had a strange feeling in their hearts, and neither of them spoke.
Zhong Shan smiled quietly when he saw this and said.
"Okay, let's go in, three of us."
Then the three of them walked into the main building of the venue.
At the door, the staff collected their tickets, recorded their identities, and distributed masks.
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but say after putting it on.
"Why are you so mysterious and wearing a mask?"
"It's an anonymous auction, of course you have to wear a mask to hide your identity."
Zhong Shan said casually, unlike the two of them who came here for the first time, he naturally knew the subsequent process.
"auction?"
Zhang Yuan was shocked when he heard this. He thought the staff took the things away for temporary storage, so he said hurriedly.
"But I haven't decided whether to sell it yet."
Zhong Shan explained immediately.
"Don't worry, it's not mandatory. To be precise, it's just a valuation of your things through the rich people present. It's okay if you don't want to sell, but the prices given here are generally higher than those outside.
high."
Zhang Yuan nodded.
Then the three of them entered the main venue together. The layout of the venue was like a classroom where a conference was held in school, with rows of chairs arranged on a staircase, and the podium at the front.
After the three of them sat down, the hawking began soon.
Although the items in this auction were all picked up by everyone at a price difference of more than ten times, the quality was really uneven. Zhang Yuan, who saw the first few items, felt bored and even yawned.
But soon, it was Yang Xiaoyun’s turn.
Just listen to the host's introduction.
"The next auction item is a purple clay teapot used by Yongzheng. Not only is the material precious, but the pattern on it is also extremely beautiful. It can be said that it has only been seen again today."
As he spoke, the teapot was displayed in front of everyone.
"You can bid now."
As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone rushed to bid. After all, this was the first interesting thing in this auction.
Bored people want excitement and excitement.
So soon the asking price of the teapot exceeded one million, and finally ended up at two million.
"First time in two million."
"Two million times for the second time."
"Two million for the third time."
"There is no follow-up bid. The owner of the teapot has ten seconds to consider whether to sell it. If he does not come forward after ten seconds, it will be deemed to have agreed to sell."
Ten seconds later, Yang Xiaoyun did not come forward, and the teapot was sold.
Yang Xiaoyun was also very happy. After all, the price was twenty times higher, and two million was not a small amount for her.
He even held Zhang Yuan's hand excitedly.
When he came back to his senses, his face turned red and he tried to take his hand back, but failed the first time because Zhang Yuan actually held it tightly.
She turned around to look again, and the two of them looked at each other, her heart beating wildly.
Zhang Yuan also fell into the familiar and cordial feeling again.
It wasn't until Yang Xiaoyun tried to take back his hand again that he came to his senses and hurriedly let go.
The two of them immediately fell into an ambiguous and awkward atmosphere.
Fortunately, the next auction broke the atmosphere between the two of them.
Zhang Yuan also gradually understood the rules of this auction, which is to start with the worst and then the best. From the teapot onwards, each piece is more precious than the other.
After passing a few things, the host came across a bronze Buddha statue with a somewhat weird shape.
"The bronze Buddha statue from the Ming Dynasty has a unique shape. Everyone can start bidding."
Everyone's enthusiasm was still very high, and within a short time the asking price exceeded two million.
Zhang Yuan noticed that Zhong Shan's mood seemed to be fluctuating as everyone bid, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Zhong, does this Buddha statue belong to you?"
Zhong Shan nodded and said.
"How about it? Although it's definitely not comparable to your dragon-patterned bottle, it's still a good thing."
Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
While the two were talking, the price of the Buddha statue had risen to three million.
"The first time in three million."
"Three million times for the second time."
"three million……"
"Three and a half million!"
Zhang Yuan suddenly raised his hand and said.
Zhong Shan and Yang Xiaoyun were stunned.
Others also raised eyebrows because the figure of 3.5 million was too high.
"Three and a half million for the first time."
…
"Deal, please give the owner of the Buddha statue ten seconds."
"Xiao Yuan, why are you doing this? If you like it, I can just give it to you."
Zhong Shan said that he was about to stand up and cancel the transaction.
But Zhang Yuan grabbed him and spoke.
"Brother Zhong, don't worry, I'm not sure yet."
Zhong Shan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Zhang Yuan meant. Ten seconds passed like this, and the bronze statue was immediately delivered to Zhang Yuan's hands.
"Xiao Yuan, I'm not sure what you just said."
Zhong Shan couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Yuan looked at the disproportionate bronze statue in his hand and said slowly.
"It is said that during the Yuan Dynasty, the royal family spent a lot of money to build a set of statues of the sea god Mazu. Later, after the Yuan Dynasty fell, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty mainly believed in Buddhism, so he ordered that all other statues of gods in the country should be destroyed as long as there were Buddha statues."
"Even the Mazu statue was not immune. Fortunately, there was a craftsman apprentice who was still a master. He was not willing to destroy such a good thing, so he forged a Buddha statue and hid the Mazu statue inside."
Zhong Shan and Zhong Shan were stunned after hearing this story and couldn't help but ask.
"So you mean, there is a statue of Mazu inside this bronze statue?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head. He was actually not sure. He was not a clairvoyant. He just had this speculation, and then he spoke.
"I want to take a gamble."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air flow circulated in Zhang Yuan's body, and he exerted force on his hand. There was a click, and the bronze statue cracked.
Zhong Shan and Yang Xiaoyun immediately opened their eyes, shocked and expecting.
Zhang Yuan nervously opened the bronze statue, and a lifelike Mazu statue lay quietly in it. After being dusted for thousands of years, it finally saw the light of day.
"Holy crap, it really does!"
Zhong Shan couldn't help but exclaimed.
Because the sound was so loud, everyone in the venue immediately looked over. He waved hurriedly and said.
"I'm sorry, it's okay, keep going, you guys keep going."
Everyone then continued the auction in full swing.
Yang Xiaoyun also blushed, and couldn't help but praise after learning Zhong Shan's lesson.
"Zhang Yuan, you are so amazing, you can even see it!"
