Seeing that except for the three-legged golden toad, the four porcelain bowls in front of it all contained a lot of scraps of paper, the smile on Batu's face became even brighter. As for the unpopularity of the three-legged golden toad, he was not surprised.
, he took them out just to make up the numbers, in order to highlight the preciousness of the other four antiques.
Wang Biaozi, who was following him, was very sensible. Without waiting for instructions, he hurriedly bent down and placed his hands in front of Batu with a smile.
Noticing Wang Biaozi again, Qi Hu still felt a little unhappy. It was obvious that his old friend from ten years ago was no longer reliable.
Batu reached out and took out a wad of paper from the porcelain bowl, shook it open, took a look, and immediately said: "Boss Song offered three hundred and fifty thousand."
A man among the buyers sitting around nodded slightly, indicating to other buyers that he acknowledged the bid.
It took two or three minutes to announce all the bids for the thangka. A total of five people bid, and the highest price was 530,000 yuan.
"Congratulations to Boss Geng, this exquisite thangka belongs to you." Batu smiled and extended his hand to a seller, "We will transfer the money later after all the prices are announced."
The next announcement was that Qi Hu would never forget to take the lead.
Dai Kua is not considered a mainstream collectible, but the buyers present seemed to be amateurs, so there were quite a few bidders, six in total.
When Batu announced everyone's bids one by one, Qi Hu heard that his bid of 1.2 million was the highest, which was only 50,000 more than the second highest bid, and he clapped his hands hard.
I was so excited that I almost jumped up. After standing up, I laughed loudly and clasped my fists around: "Thank you for your support."
Batu smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to Boss Qi. Well, this set of belts used by the princes of the palace is really suitable for Boss Qi to wear."
Although he spent 500,000 yuan more than expected, Qi Hu was still very happy. After all, the value of this set of belts was so high that it could reach nearly 3 million yuan at auction!
Then why don't other buyers offer higher prices? This involves a mental game. The most important point is that Qi Hu absolutely believes in Xue Chen's appraisal. He is sure it is true and dares to bid!
However, it is impossible for other buyers to be 100% sure. Naturally, they cannot bid completely based on the genuine product. They have to consider more, so the bids are very conservative, and they don’t want to go shopping. If they don’t bid, they will lose nothing at most.
But if you buy it and find out later that it is a fake, you will suffer a loss.
Therefore, this belt with a market value of more than 2.5 million was obtained by Qi Hu for 1.2 million, which was only 50,000 more than the second highest bid. It can also be said to be a narrow win.
, this is naturally Xue Chen’s contribution.
The other buyers who participated in the bidding looked at the proud Qi Hu and felt very depressed in their hearts. They secretly regretted not offering a higher price and also had nothing to say.
Soon, the bronze wine cup and porcelain bowl were also made public and became the prized possessions of the two buyers.
There were only two bidders for the three-legged golden toad, one bid 10,000 yuan and the other bid 12,000 yuan, only a few tenths of the other four antiques. And the price of 12,000 yuan was exactly what Xue Chen gave.
"Haha, congratulations to Brother Xue, this three-legged golden toad is yours." Batu chuckled, still very satisfied with the price of 12,000 for this three-legged golden toad.
This three-legged golden toad with a mud body and lacquered gold came into his hands for 800 yuan. It has been a year, but it has not been successfully sold so far. Now it is sold for 12,000 yuan, which can be said to be a small profit.
It's like getting rid of a burden.
Even the buyer who bid 10,000 yuan didn't feel unhappy when he heard that his price had been exceeded. He obviously didn't take it to heart. He probably offered a price of 10,000 yuan just for fun.
"Thank you." Xue Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a smile on his face, and nodded.
It is impossible for everyone to carry so much cash around for a transaction worth tens or millions of dollars. After Batu told him a bank account, Qi Hu and other buyers all called their friends in other places.
Subordinates give money.
Batu looked at the money transferred into his mobile phone one after another, and he felt very happy. He was very happy that the transaction went smoothly without any accidents.
After the transaction was completed, all the buyers were no longer interested in staying here. Batu immediately ordered his subordinates to drive all the bosses back to Ningyi County.
Xue Chen packed the three-legged golden toad in a very ordinary plastic bag, held it in his hand, and walked out of the sleepy yurt with Qi Hu and other buyers. He looked at the endless green grassland outside.
, the mood suddenly became comfortable, and everyone couldn't help but stretch.
Batu stood at the door of the yurt, squinted his eyes, and said loudly and cheerfully: "Bosses, please cooperate with me. When I have another baby, I will definitely notify you."
"Brother Hu, you scolded me because I didn't handle things well this time, but next time, I decided to handle things beautifully." Wang Biaozi also smiled and came to Qi Hu, smiling with his face.
.
After getting the belt, Qi Hu felt much better, even though he spent an extra five hundred thousand. He glanced at Wang Biaozi and let out a hum as a response.
At this time, two mini cars drove over from a distance. Although they were not good cars, they were spacious enough to seat everyone.
Just when everyone was about to get on the bus, Xue Chen suddenly glanced at a strange man in his mid-thirties among the many buyers. He looked at him in surprise and walked over. When he walked up to him, he hesitated and asked
: "Are you Xue Chen?"
"Huh? Do you know me?" Xue Chen turned around and stared at the man in front of him. He had no memory at all and did not remember seeing this man at all.
A glimmer of light flashed in the man's eyes, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "It's normal that you don't remember me. I am Sun Ge, the cousin of Sun Jinyang, the owner of Zhenbaoxuan. I happened to see it in the audience when I visited Haicheng.
Even though I left Haicheng after the treasure appraisal conference held by your three pawn shops, I heard your name mentioned by my cousin more than once."
Sun Jinyang's cousin?
The relationship will not be very friendly.
"I didn't recognize you when we were in the yurt because the light was too poor. Haha, I heard that you are now a very famous appraiser in Haicheng City and even the entire Yunzhou Province." Sun Gepi laughed.
Said without smiling.
Naturally, he also heard about the current situation of his cousin's pawn shop. It had been severely suppressed by Daxing, and the business had plummeted. Thinking of this, he snorted in his heart.
"That's ridiculous." Xue Chen replied lightly.
Sun Ge saw the bag Xue Chen was holding, and when he vaguely saw a corner of the three-legged golden toad inside along the mouth of the bag, his eyes moved, a sneer raised at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly said loudly
One sentence.
"I didn't expect that this three-legged golden toad was bought by you. It seems that we must have made a mistake and failed to see the preciousness of this treasure. Xue Chen, you must have picked up a big leak.
Will it increase tenfold or a hundredfold?”
Everyone was waiting to get on the bus, and the surroundings were quiet. Sun Ge suddenly spoke so loudly that everyone heard it immediately, especially the word "pick up the missing", which aroused the nerves of everyone present.
For a moment, not only the buyers who came here, but also people like Batu and Wang Biaozi also looked over in surprise.
Xue Chen's face suddenly turned cold as he stared at Sun Ge, who had a faint smile on his face.
Seeing that his words had attracted everyone's attention, Sun Ge continued to speak loudly: "A great appraiser like you, one of the best in the entire Yunzhou Province, will definitely not fall in love with ordinary goods.
, there must be something mysterious about this three-legged golden toad, can you give me some pointers, so that I can gain more knowledge?"
At this time, the car had already arrived and stopped, but no one was in a hurry to get on the car. Instead, they all came over curiously, as did Batu and Wang Biaozi.
Batu walked closer, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you two talking about? You seem very happy."
Sun Ge turned around, pointed at Xue Chen, and said to Batu with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, Mr. Xue may not be young, but he is a well-known appraiser in the antique circle of Yunzhou Province.
, he is very discerning, I was thinking, maybe there is something mysterious about this three-legged golden toad that we didn't see, and he picked it up."
After hearing these words, all the buyers present looked surprised, and Batu, who had his hands behind his back, also had a sparkle in his eyes.
Xue Chen, with an expressionless face, turned to Qi Hu and said, "Brother Qi, let's get in the car."
"Okay." Qi Hu glanced at Sun Ge.
Seeing the two of them about to get in the car, Batu frowned and said, "Why are you two so anxious to get in the car and leave? It's still early, why don't you chat more?"
"Sorry, we have other things to do." Xue Chen looked back and replied simply.
Sun Ge's words made all the buyers present murmur. Since he is a famous appraiser, how could he choose a three-legged golden toad that is in ugly appearance and is worthless at a glance?
One explanation is that this three-legged golden toad has a mystery that they didn't see.
Naturally, Batu also thought of this. Considering that one of his people might have been mistaken and failed to see the true value of a treasure, he felt extremely unhappy, as if his money had been robbed by others.
a feeling of.
Seeing Xue Chen and the others were about to get into the car and leave, a cold light flashed in his squinted eyes, and he strode over and stood in front of the two people who had already arrived in front of the car door.
Seeing this, Qi Hu asked in a dissatisfied voice: "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I just hope that Mr. Xue can stay a little longer and at least take out the three-legged golden toad for me to take a look at." Batu said lightly, and several of his subordinates who were idle around slowly came closer.
When Sun Ge saw this scene, there was a triumphant smile on his lips. (To be continued)
