Seeing that Lin Wen was a little mysterious, Qin Fan didn't ask any questions. After lunch, at around two o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them came to a small auction house.
Entering the auction house, Lin Wen said with a smile: "There happens to be a small auction this afternoon. Take a good look, maybe you will get something."
It was Qin Fan's first time to participate in this kind of auction, so he was very curious. The three of them immediately found a seat in the middle and sat down. Soon the seats were full. At three o'clock, the auctioneer came on the stage and followed the usual practice.
After saying some words, the auction started immediately.
The first item was a vase. After several rounds of bidding, it was bought by a fat businessman for 500,000 yuan. Then Lin Wen did not participate in the bidding for the second and third items.
Qin Fan has also been observing. He is still not familiar with this kind of thing, so he is just learning. When the fourth round came, a Kunlun ornament was finally placed on it, and Qin Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Qin Fan knew a little about Kunlun Jade. He had seen in the information before that Kunlun Jade has a fine texture, is elegant and refreshing, and has high transparency. It is divided into white jade, sapphire, gray jade, white jade with green, etc.
Kunlun jade was very cheap when it was first discovered. Later, after jade was used for Chinese Olympic medals, its value increased to 100,000 times.
This Kunlun ornament is very unique and beautiful in workmanship, and Liu Huimin also likes it very much. At this time, the bidding started, with a starting price of 50,000 yuan. At this time, many people began to bid, and Lin Wen also participated in the bidding. However, after raising the price, Lin Wen did not
Chase again.
At this time, Liu Huimin couldn't help but ask: "Old Lin, I think you seem to be waiting for something good later."
Lin Wen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, although this auction house is small, it is a bit unique. There is often a stone bet at the back, that is, a good rough stone is put out, and everyone comes forward to appreciate it, and finally
Start bidding.”
When Qin Fan heard about betting on stones, he immediately smiled. Looking at everyone in the audience taking turns bidding, Qin Fan said with a smile: "Betting on stones in the auction house is more exciting."
Lin Wen nodded and smiled: "Yes, this is more exciting than playing in the stone betting market. This is the excitement of playing, and taking turns bidding is even more exciting, because you don't know how much green there is."
Immediately, Lin Wen smiled and said: "One knife will make you poor, one knife will make you rich, and one knife will pierce sackcloth! It means that one knife can make you a millionaire, or it can make you a pauper in an instant. The truth behind this is very profound, brothers can be careful
Study.”
Qin Fan nodded and smiled: "Okay! Then I will study hard."
Liu Huimin glanced at Qin Fan and said nothing. She thought to herself that this guy was so awesome in choosing Mao Shi, and now he is still pretending to learn.
While the three people were talking, the Kunlun jade ornament was finally bought by a tall and thin man for 750,000 yuan.
At this time, the auctioneer said with a smile: "Now are the last two treasures in our auction house, let's start betting on stones!" When everyone heard this, they were eager to get started. These guys are all rich, and betting on stones is just for fun.
While he was talking, a beautiful girl came out and put a plate on the table. When the red cloth was opened, there was a rough stone inside. Although it was not big in size, it looked good at first glance.
Immediately, the bidders came to the stage to study it, and everyone thought the stone was very good. The auctioneer started bidding with a starting price of 1,000. As soon as he said that, someone in front of him directly shouted 10,000, and then someone else shouted 20,000...
Qin Fan thought to himself that these people really had too much money to spend. This method was indeed much more intense than the stone betting market. He watched these people raise their prices one by one. At this time, Liu Huimin said with a smile: "Xiao Fan, what do you think?
How much is the most a stone can be worth?”
Qin Fan glanced at Liu Huimin, glanced through it, and said with a smile: "The maximum is 350,000. If it exceeds 350,000, you will lose."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wen immediately shook his head and said: "Brother, I don't agree with your opinion. I just saw this rough stone. It has the potential to produce large green areas. I think 700,000 is about the same."
Qin Fan laughed. He didn't say anything. After everyone took turns bidding, the price had just been raised to 350,000. The price was already very high. There was no bidding for a while. At this time, Lin
Wen smiled and shouted: "Four hundred thousand!"
"Four hundred and fifty thousand!" someone shouted.
Lin Wen frowned, "Fifty million!"
That man also took a fancy to the potential of the gambling stone, and seemed to be at odds with Lin Wen, directly shouting out 600,000!
Lin Wen suddenly felt a little unhappy. When he saw that Lin Wen was still preparing to increase the price, Qin Fan said with a smile: "Otherwise, let that guy take the 600,000 yuan!"
Although Liu Huimin knew that Lin Wen was good at looking at antiques and cultural relics, he was far behind Qin Fan when it came to gambling stones. She immediately advised him: "Yeah, let him just let him do it."
Lin Wen looked at Qin Fan and Liu Huimin, shook his head and said with a smile: "I know you are well-intentioned, but I still believe in my own abilities and just treat it as a joke." After that, Lin Wen shouted 700,000.
Seven hundred thousand yuan to buy such a small piece of rubble is already considered a high price, so when Lin Wenjie shouted out, the guy stopped following and smiled at Lin Wen and said: "This thing is yours, you are awesome."
!”
The hammer fell three times, and the rough stone became Lin Wen's. After Lin Wen delivered the 700,000 yuan, there were stone cutters on site, so he simply prepared to cut it on the spot.
Looking at Lin Wen on the stage, Qin Fan said with a smile: "I didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn."
Liu Huimin nodded and said, "Yes, this guy is indeed overconfident when betting on stones."
At this time, as the stone cutter cut it, everyone in the audience suddenly said: "It's broken!" Indeed, although there was a large green area with that cut, the green had impurities. The stone cutter cut it again, and the same thing happened.
He immediately estimated the value based on the market price to be around 300,000 to 400,000, so Lin Wen's stone had collapsed.
Lin Wen left the stage awkwardly holding the stone. He smiled at Qin Fan and said, "Brother, you are still awesome. I shouldn't have paid 700,000 just now."
Although 700,000 yuan was nothing to him, spending so much money to buy a stone worth half the price still dampened Lin Wen's confidence.
Qin Fan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, we will buy it later."
After the stone gambling just now, the atmosphere was very lively. At this time, the pretty service lady took out another rough stone and placed it on it. This time, Qin Fan's eyes lit up. Similarly, after the bidders went up to observe, the auction started, also with a
It started with a thousand yuan, and soon someone called it a hundred thousand yuan.
At this time, Qin Fan looked at Liu Huimin and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
Seeing Qin Fan taking the initiative to ask, Liu Huimin knew that he was interested in this stone, so she immediately smiled and said: "I think it's okay. If you want to bid, you can bid whatever you want, and I'll pay for it."
