Gu Yongheng asked in surprise: "Boss Song, do you think this bronze medal is real?"
Song nodded and said, "If I'm not wrong, this should be an old thing. I didn't expect Boss Liu to have such a good thing."
Gu Yongheng looked at Liu Jian and said, "Your shit luck is too good, right?"
Song looked at Gu Yongheng with a puzzled look. Gu Yongheng rarely showed a helpless expression and said, "Did he get this in exchange for it from a street stall just now?"
Song looked at Liu Jian in disbelief, and asked with a long mouth: "I just bought it at a street stall? How much did it cost? This is a big mistake!"
Liu Jian smiled and said: "I don't know if it's true or not, but I feel very good when I look at this thing. I spent a thousand yuan on it."
Song was speechless at first sight. There was no difference between this and the one he picked up. Compared with the price of the bronze medal, the money Liu Jian spent was really negligible.
Song glanced at the previous topic and asked: "Boss Liu, how do you think about whether you can take action or not?"
Liu Jian turned to look at Gu Yongheng and asked, "Second brother, are you interested? If so, just keep it."
Gu Yongheng's eyes lit up and he asked, "You won't keep it?"
Liu Jian shook his head and said, "I told you a long time ago that I have no great interest in these things. Second brother, if you like them, just put them away."
Gu Yongheng said: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to add something to your courtyard?"
Liu Jian shook his head and said, "That's why I want to buy some big stuff, antique furniture, vases and so on. As for what I'm keeping this bronze medal for, I'll give it to you."
He said and threw it to Gu Yongheng.
Song looked at the bronze medals with some pity as they were passed between the hands of Liu Jian and Gu Yongheng, and asked regretfully: "Boss Liu, why don't you ask about the price?"
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "It's only a few million at most, it's not a big deal."
Gu Yongheng also smiled at the side and did not say how much money he would give Liu Jian. He still knew Liu Jian and would not take it from him. It would be better not to ask.
Song shook his head at a glance. Neither of the two owners paid much attention to money. Nothing he said had any effect. Then he thought of the auction in the suburbs at night. If the two of them went there, they would probably not be short of money.
.
Thinking of this, Song glanced at it and asked: "Director Gu, Boss Liu, there is an auction tonight. I wonder if you are interested?"
At the auction, Liu Jian's eyes lit up. He had never participated in it before, so it would be fun to go. The process of constantly raising placards on TV has always made Liu Jian very nostalgic.
Gu Yongheng knew about this auction and said, "Xiao Jian, how about going to see it at night?"
Liu Jian was a little hesitant. The beauty arranged by Li Qiang was probably tonight. If he went there, he would miss his date with the beauty.
Gu Yongheng saw Liu Jian's hesitation, and after careful consideration, he knew what he wanted to write, and he made a decision directly for him and said: "Okay, don't think about it, come with me tonight."
Now that Gu Yongheng has made a decision, let's go. Anyway, let's see the world. The worst thing Li Qiang can do is postpone it, and he won't end up in a bad business.
In Beijing, Liu Jian naturally drove a Gu Yongheng Hongqi. Although the car was not good, the pile of passes were very intimidating. Originally, to participate in this kind of private auction, he had to be introduced by an acquaintance, and he had to make the car they specified, but Gu
Yongheng was the kind of person who made them break the rules, so Liu Jian and Gu Yongheng saw the auction site with great arrogance.
The reason why Song Yiyi actively introduced Gu Yongheng and Liu Jianlai was because he had 10% of the shares in this auction, which was organized by several antique dealers. Not only are some common antiques auctioned here, but there are also some that cannot be seen in the light of day.
Of course, these things may be real or fake. Whether you can buy a good thing or not depends on your taste.
There were not many people attending the auction. There were more than twenty people. Some were fat businessmen hugging their little girls. Some were antique dealers from out of town who bought them back for sale. Some were real antique lovers. But like this
Few people.
Liu Jian and Gu Yongheng were sitting in the first row. I think the organizers also knew Gu Yongheng's identity and didn't ask too much. Liu Jian was holding a suitcase. Here was all the money he brought, which was not much.
Much, it's only a few hundred thousand. Liu Jian didn't seem to buy anything, he just prepared it for Gu Yongheng.
The host came to the stage soon and bowed to everyone: "Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhuang Hongsheng. You can just call me Lao Zhuang."
Several bosses below said anxiously: "Okay, Mr. Zhuang, this is the opening statement every time, let's start quickly."
Lao Zhuang smiled and said: "Okay, today's first auction is a Xuande furnace. You can come up and take a look."
When I heard it was a Xuande furnace, no one moved much. There were too many Xuande furnaces in this era, and there were only a few dozen that could be verified. For a long time, no one was willing to buy it, especially at this kind of auction.
If the Xuande furnace was genuine, it would be impossible for it to be circulated and it would have been put up for official auction long ago.
Sure enough, the host also knew that this one would not fetch a very high price. The starting price was only 5,000 yuan, but even so, no one was willing to bid. As for Liu Jian, who was just here to join in the fun, he would not buy such an obvious one.
The fakes go back.
Gu Yongheng thought of something and said, "Xiao Jian, don't you need to add something to your courtyard? You can buy this stove and keep it there. It's also a decoration."
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Second brother, stop making trouble. Do you want me to buy such a fake thing?"
Song, who was sitting next to the two of them, glanced at it and said, "Boss Liu, this thing is not fake, but the age is not accurate. It's okay to buy it back at this price and keep it in your hands."
Gu Yongheng saw that Liu Jian still didn't raise his hand, so he had no choice but to raise his hand himself.
Lao Zhuang stood on the stage and was very nervous. Speaking of which, this thing was from the Qing Dynasty. If it were transferred, it would cost twenty to thirty thousand yuan. Who knows that there are not many people who came today who are rich or noble?
If you are interested in this Xuande furnace and it fails to sell, it will be a bad start and will not make a good start for the upcoming auction.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Gu Yongheng raised his hand.
Lao Zhuang noticed Song sitting next to them and glanced at Song gratefully, thinking that his lobbying was successful. He bought it and bought it. Five thousand yuan was not much anyway, so Liu Jian happily paid for it.
Then several more lots were auctioned, and the atmosphere was okay. Although it couldn't be said to be very enthusiastic, fortunately, there was no trend of genre.
Finally, the final auction came. First, a painting by Zhang Daqian attracted everyone's pursuit. The auction cost tens of thousands of yuan, and the final transaction price reached more than 300,000 yuan.
Liu Jian knew how cheap this price was. In a few years, the price could be doubled ten times or a hundred times. However, Liu Jian did not act. He originally came with Gu Yongheng. So far, Gu Yongheng has not
If you want to take pictures of something, keep the money for him to use.
The penultimate item on the lot aroused great interest in Gu Yongheng. It was a vase from the Ming Dynasty. Liu Jian naturally couldn't understand this thing. Gu Yongheng and Song looked at it for a long time after they came down. After they came down, Gu Yongheng showed great expression.
interest of.
Liu Jian asked doubtfully: "Is this vase a good thing?"
Gu Yongheng nodded and said: "It should be from the Ming Dynasty. I have to go back to check the details. If it is not too expensive, I will take a photo."
Sure enough, the starting price that Lao Zhuang said shocked everyone: "200,000, and each increase will be at least 10,000."
You must know that very few items in this kind of auction have a transaction price exceeding 200,000 yuan. Moreover, if the starting price is set high, the transaction price must be an astronomical figure.
Gu Yongheng frowned and asked, "Xiao Jian, how much cash did you bring?"
Liu Jian said: "Six hundred thousand, it should be enough."
Gu Yongheng shook his head and said: "If you spend 600,000 yuan to buy it, there is no need for it. Let's take a look at the bidding price."
Sure enough, the auction price skyrocketed and soon exceeded 500,000. It seemed that many people were interested in this vase. When Liu Jian saw that Gu Yongheng had not bid, he asked doubtfully: "Second brother, you don't want to buy it?"
Gu Yongheng shook his head and said: "I rarely spend so much money on antiques. If it's two to three hundred thousand, it's about the same, and I have the fun of picking up leaks. Now it's so high, it's meaningless."
Liu Jian didn't understand Gu Yongheng's mentality, but Sui Gu Yongheng's thoughts, whether he bought it or not, had no effect on Liu Jian, but he didn't buy Zhenghe Liu Jian's thoughts.
In the end, this Ming Dynasty vase was sold by a fat businessman for 1.2 million. Liu Jian was shocked. It seems that at this time, the antique market began to heat up. In a few years, it will be collected by all the people.
At that time, any antique would cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. It seems that that time is not far away.
The last item that Lao Zhuang took out caused a commotion. It turned out to be a bracelet, which looked like a sandalwood bracelet.
Lao Zhuang introduced: "The owner of this bracelet said that eminent monks have worn it for decades and it has been consecrated. Moreover, the material of the beads has not been determined. It may be an extraterrestrial meteorite. Now it is urgently needed and put up for auction. The auction has started.
The price is 200,000 yuan, and each increase in price is at least 10,000 yuan."
After that, the whole auction was quiet. Just a bunch of bracelets cost hundreds of thousands. What a joke. Not many people here today are real collectors. Most of them are just buying and selling. Such a bunch of unknown origins and unknown materials
Bracelet, who would be interested.
Liu Jian, who had been calm all night, suddenly turned green. Damn it, it turned out to be this string of Dzi beads. He had heard the legend of this string of Dzi beads in his previous life. It was said that this string of beads was carried by the living Buddha, and it was opened.
I don’t know how it spread to the Central Plains. It passed through the hands of many people, but it never fetched a high price at auction until it spread to Hong Kong.
A master in Hong Kong recognized this string of Buddhist beads, which reflected its value, and even auctioned it for a sky-high price of HK$60 million. When Liu Jian saw the report, he kept wondering why he had not encountered such a good thing.
Moreover, after wearing this bracelet, you can seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and no matter how many people ask for it, you will not be able to get it.
Liu Jian was not originally a person who believed in fate, but after his rebirth, he was full of awe for the underworld. When traveling, Liu Jian now encounters temples and offers incense, leaving no one behind, and his heart is full of awe. Now when he sees this
The first thought when stringing a bracelet is to buy it and wear it.
As for selling it in the future, Liu Jian has no idea. It is worth spending money to buy such a good thing.
Seeing that no one bid, Liu Jian hurriedly raised his hand.
Gu Yongheng was stunned and advised: "Xiao Jian, what are you doing?"
Liu Jian said: "I want to buy this bracelet."
Gu Yongheng advised: "This is not an old thing. Haven't you heard that there is no way to confirm the materials?"
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Second brother, haven't you heard that this is something that a distinguished monk brought. Maybe it has Buddhist aura."
Several people around saw Liu Jian raising his hand and thought it was something good. Some people recognized it and were still wondering whether to bid. When Liu Jian said this, they all looked at Liu Jian dumbfounded.
Gu Yongheng said with a headache: "Xiao Jian, can you listen to the story? It's hundreds of thousands of dollars, why are you wasting this money?"
Even Song Yiyan tried to persuade him. When he arrived, this thing was bought by the owner of an antique shop a few days ago. He spent 20,000 yuan at that time. After the appraisal, there was still no way to determine the age.
And the material. The boss regretted it very much, but no one wanted it anymore.
This time I took advantage of the success of the auction and wanted to give it a try. Unexpectedly, Liu Jian actually made a bid.
Song could tell at a glance that Gu Yongheng's origin was not simple. He didn't want to affect his cooperative relationship with Gu Yongheng because of such a thing. He had to know that Gu Yongheng was in his hands every year, buying and selling a lot of antiques. What if it was just for this bracelet?
, causing you to lose customers, which is not worth the loss.
But even if he told the details of this bracelet, it didn't change Liu Jian's mind. In the end, this unknown bracelet was bought by Liu Jian with a starting price of 200,000 yuan.
Speaking of which, Liu Jian bought two things, and they were both at the lowest price. However, Gu Yongheng, who had been arranging them all, didn’t buy anything. Gu Yongheng had a deeper understanding of Liu Jian’s level of spending money. His younger brother was really a spendthrift.
Money is like running water.
Liu Jian didn't bother to consider Gu Yongheng's opinion. He took the bracelet and put it on his hand. It was like a psychological effect. After putting it on, Liu Jian felt that his mood was much calmer.
