After Lei Lie took Sun Xu and the others to sit down, the auction began immediately.
"Welcome to the Jubaotang auction. Most of you here are old customers of our Jubaotang. The purpose of coming here is also very clear. I, Zhang, will not talk nonsense and waste everyone's time. Today we will auction
There are a total of fifty-five items in the auction. I hope everyone can get the treasure they like."
A curtain opened on the auction stage, and then a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and tie walked onto the auction stage and introduced everyone politely.
This man is the store manager Hao of Jubaotang who had received Sun Xu before.
The hall, which was noisy just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet. No one spoke loudly, and all eyes were focused on the auction table.
They came to this treasure gathering hall not to chat, but for today's auction items, especially the magic weapon.
In Jiangcheng, there has been no magic weapon auction for a long time.
Manager Hao left the auction table, and then two tall beauties wearing purple dresses and fat-skinned women walked from the side to the middle of the auction table, carrying a tray covered with red cloth.
What kind of treasure will this first auction item be?
Everyone's eyes are full of expectations. The auction at Jubao Hall has never disappointed. As the opening of the auction, this auction item will definitely be a valuable highlight, although the magic weapon will not be directly sold.
Putting it first will definitely not make much difference.
However, this kind of auction item is definitely not something ordinary people can afford.
"It was presented on a tray? What kind of treasure is this first auction item?" Lin Ran looked curious. Although she was the daughter of the Lin family, it was her first time to participate in such an auction, so she was not interested in this treasure collection.
There was a lot of interest in the church's auction.
Beside her, Feng Hui was much calmer.
He has participated in many such auctions in Xin City, and he was basically invited to each time. He knew very well that as the first auction item in the auction, although it would be valuable, it would not be cheap.
They are definitely mortal treasures for ordinary people. Apart from their collection value, these things have no effect on their cultivators.
"Dear guests, the first lot in our Jubaotang auction today is a calligraphy and painting by Master Li Chengli, a master of calligraphy and painting in the Northern Song Dynasty. The starting price is 1 million, and each increase in price will not be less than 50,000."
Everyone speculated. The clear and moving voices of the two beauties on the stage were like the song of a kingfisher, reaching the ears of everyone present. At the same time, the red cloth on the tray was lifted up, revealing a black and white ink painting of a moving landscape.
It immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes. On the lower right side of the painting, there were four lines of vigorous and powerful inscriptions.
"The master of calligraphy and painting in the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Cheng!"
"It deserves to be called the Jubao Hall. It's such a big deal. The first auction item is such a precious thing. Although the works of Li Cheng, the master of calligraphy and painting in the Northern Song Dynasty, are not as good as the painting saint Wu Daozi, they are definitely treasures."
"One million..."
The first auction item appeared, and everyone present had different reactions. Those who were familiar with calligraphy, painting and antiques were filled with emotion, while laypeople looked confused and didn’t know who Li Cheng was. Of course, more people were attracted by the 1 million
The starting price was shocking.
"One million, Master's treasure gathering hall is so generous. The first auction item has a starting price of 1 million!" Lin Ran said with emotion as he looked at the paintings on the auction stage.
"Well, Jubaotang's paintings by Li Cheng in the Northern Song Dynasty are indeed quite impressive." Sun Xu nodded. Although Jiangcheng has a strong economic development, it is not a first-tier city in the provincial capital. One million is definitely not what ordinary people can afford.
Originally, he thought that the value of the first auction item in the Jubao Hall would be about 1 million, but now the starting price has reached 1 million. It seems that today's auction is more exciting than he imagined.
"1.1 million!"
But even with such a high price, someone raised a sign the moment the calligraphy and painting appeared, because 1 million is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but for the truly rich, it is absolutely nothing.
"There's an offer!"
"It's the CEO of Tianmei Real Estate, Cheng Tianhong."
"No wonder, it is said that Mr. Cheng's favorite thing is collecting paintings and calligraphy. He once even spent more than 10 million yuan to buy a painting from the Tang Dynasty. When I see this painting and calligraphy from the Northern Song Dynasty master today, I will definitely not let it go."
Everyone's eyes immediately followed the lights in the entire hall and focused on the bidder. He was a middle-aged man with a big belly and an appearance of wealth.
"Lao Cheng, you met a treasure today!"
"Old Li, you can't rob me. You know, I don't like anything. I just like to collect paintings and calligraphy. The works of Master Li Cheng of the Northern Song Dynasty are what I have been lacking."
"Haha, I won't compete with you, but it's different with other people. I guess a lot of people are interested in this work by Li Cheng of the Northern Song Dynasty."
Under the spotlight, after Cheng Tianhong raised his sign, he immediately talked to a middle-aged man next to him, looking like he was determined to win this painting.
"100,000!"
"100,000."
However, after he opened his mouth, someone immediately increased the price.
…
Sun Xu had no idea about these antique calligraphy and paintings. His biggest purpose in coming to the treasure gathering hall was to help Cai Yushan remove the poison from the bell, so the competition for this famous painting from the Northern Song Dynasty had nothing to do with him.
The competition for the first auction item was fierce. In just one minute, the price of this famous painting rose from 1 million to 1 million.
At this price, many people who want to compete for it are daunted, because the real value of this famous painting from the Northern Song Dynasty is only over 000,000. Although the rich people present are not short of money, no one is willing to take advantage of it and pay a high price.
I bought this painting.
Unless you are like Cheng Tianhong, who has a special love for calligraphy and painting and doesn't care about the price.
After a lot of competition, the price of the first auction item in the Jubao Hall was set at 500,000, and it was won by Cheng Tianhong, who was the first to make an offer.
The first auction item sold for 500,000 yuan, which can be said to be a good start for the Jubaotang auction. Everyone present also had a real feeling that today's auction was more intense than before.
"Official Porcelain of the Qing Dynasty."
"Ironware from the Ming Dynasty."
After the first painting had a good start, several subsequent auction items fetched high prices of nearly one million, and everyone's emotions were extremely high.
But none of these things caught Sun Xu's eyes.
"Master, seven items have been auctioned. Isn't there anything you like?" Lin Ran looked at the dazzling auction items with doubts on his face and couldn't help but ask Sun Xu.
"These mortal objects will definitely not be able to enter Master's eyes." Feng Hui said after hearing this.
"The next auction item is a century-old Gu clock from western Hunan. It is said to have been used by an ancient Gu master. The starting price is 00,000, and each increase in price starts from 10,000."
At this time, this voice also came from the auction table.
"Gu clock?"
"Who wants this thing, and how much more can it cost?"
"Aren't these things only needed by those witches and wizards in western Hunan? If you put them up for auction here, I'm afraid no one will buy them, right? And the price is still 00,000."
Looking at the dark brown Gu clock with the size of a bowl mouth on the stage, many people frowned. In their opinion, there should be no one who would buy such a weird thing at the auction, right?
"This is it."
But Sun Xu's eyes lit up slightly, and he raised the sign in his hand.
