From the very beginning of the auction, the price of this ancient book "Tao Te Ching" annotated by Master Hanshan donated by Tang Yuntao has skyrocketed!
The first person to make a move was Xue Zhenqiang. The first bidders were only some of the top 20 bosses in Bei'an City's rich list, and they only made bids to support Tang Yuntao.
Because Tang Yuntao is among the top three tycoons in the list of richest people in Hexi Province. The most important thing is that Tang Yuntao is in finance. He holds an investment company and multiple hotels and other high-quality assets in his hands. No matter who wants to
Hexi Province does well in business and does not dare to offend Tang Yuntao easily. Therefore, naturally many people are willing to support him just to give the other party a good impression.
However, after three rounds of bidding on the price of this ancient book, it only reached 1.8 million yuan.
Xue Zhenqiang immediately shouted: "3 million yuan!"
As soon as this price was announced, everyone else stopped bidding.
Huangfutai frowned slightly, and just when the auctioneer shouted 3 million yuan for the second time, he suddenly said: "3.5 million!"
Xue Zhenqiang's face looked a little ugly. As the current head of the Xue family, he had naturally read the things recorded in the genealogy, and also knew that the Huangfu family held a copy of the "Tao Te Ching". He knew that Huangfutai was probably his strongest competitor today.
.
At that time, one of the important reasons why he agreed to the marriage between Huangfutai and his daughter Xue Jiahui was for this book, because he had long known that Huangfutai was already the designated successor of the Huangfu family. The Huangfu family also had this reason. As for the
No one cares whether Huangfutai truly loves Xue Jiahui.
"5 million!" Xue Zhenqiang said lightly.
"5.5 million!" Although Huangfutai is usually stingy, once he enters the business world, he is still the all-powerful Huangfutai.
"6000000!"
"6.5 million!"
As Xue Zhenqiang and Huangfu Tai launched a fierce bidding here, all the guests at the scene smelled something unusual.
Some people think that the reason why the two people are so competitive is because in the first event, Huangfutai was slapped in the face by Xue Jiahui and his daughter, so they choked each other here.
However, some people believe that Xue Zhenqiang is a recognized old fox in the shopping malls of Hexi Province. What outsiders admire most about him is his city and his calmness. Therefore, it is impossible for Xue Zhenqiang to continue to be an enemy of the Huangfu family when he is in the wrong.
Therefore, the problem should lie with this ancient book.
While everyone was bidding, Tang Yuntao and his daughter Tang Feifei were sitting in the first row closest to the auction seat. No one except the auctioneer could clearly see Tang Yuntao's expression at this moment.
At this moment, Tang Yuntao was sitting there, with his back leaning on the chair, Erlang's legs slightly raised, and a gloomy and strange smile flashed on the corner of his mouth.
The atmosphere at the auction became extremely silent, with only the bidding sounds of Xue Zhenqiang and Huangfutai and the excited shouts of the auctioneer.
He was so excited. A book with a reserve price of 1 million has now been sold for 8 million, and he paid this price in front of a group of top businessmen in Hexi Province. From now on, he is destined to become a leader in Hexi Province.
The brightest star in the provincial auction world.
At this moment, Cao Guoming, who had been sitting silently next to Qin Feng, suddenly said: "15 million!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene fell silent.
The auctioneer was dumbfounded and didn't react for a long time!
That's 15 million! It's enough to buy four or five high-end villas in Bei'an, the provincial capital! And this is just an ordinary ancient book!
Hearing this, Xue Zhenqiang and Huangfutai followed the call. When they saw that the bidder turned out to be Cao Guoming, they all showed a look of shock on their faces.
Because none of them thought that Cao Guoming, who was in the tea business, would be interested in this book, and would spend so much money on it. Why on earth is this?
Could it be that Cao Guoming was also one of the four major families at that time? Did he also know that this book was related to the huge treasure of the Yuan Dynasty?
If that's the case, then this matter will be troublesome.
Although Cao Guoming and his Yougu Group are not in the first camp in terms of financial resources in the business circles of Hexi Province, the most terrifying thing about this person is his personal network, because he is in the tea business and also runs an antique shop.
It is said that he is involved in all kinds of elegant things business, but because of this, he knows many big shots in Hexi Province and is even good friends. Therefore, his financial resources cannot be measured by the ranking of the richest people in Hexi Province.
balanced.
At this moment, not only Xue Zhenqiang and Huangfu Tai were also shocked, but even Tang Yuntao, who had been sitting there calmly and calmly, immediately turned his head and looked over after Cao Guoming finished speaking.
When Tang Yuntao discovered that the person speaking was actually Cao Guoming, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
How did Cao Guoming get involved in the competition for this book? Does this old guy also know about it?
At this time, Cao Guoming saw the eyes of everyone looking over him and laughed loudly and said: "Everyone, don't look at me. The reason why I want to compete for this book is actually just to return a favor!"
At this moment, whether it was Tang Yuntao, Xue Zhenqiang or Huangfutai, their faces all showed doubts.
However, Xue Zhenqiang and Huangfutai looked at each other, and neither of them continued to compete. Because if they continued to compete, I am afraid that the secret of this book may not be able to be kept.
The auctioneer had woken up and immediately danced with excitement and shouted: "15 million for the first time! Is there any increase in the price?"
"15 million for the second time!"
With that said, the auctioneer continued to look around, especially at Xue Zhenqiang and Huangfutai. Seeing that they had no intention of raising the price any more, he immediately lowered the auction hammer and shouted at the top of his lungs: "15 million for the third time! Deal!"
At this time, the auctioneer said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, I will have this ancient book wrapped for you and sent over."
Cao Guoming smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not for me, but for -"
After saying this, Cao Guoming paused, pointed at Qin Feng and said, "He!"
"What? Give it to him?" The auctioneer was dumbfounded. Xue Zhenqiang and Huangfutai were also dumbfounded. None of them expected that Cao Guoming would give Qin Feng such a precious rare ancient book that he had just spent 15 million on auction.
A little-known little person. And the little person who just slapped Huangfu in the face!
Who is this Qin Feng? Why did he win so much love from Cao Guoming?
At this time, everyone was talking about it. Soon it was revealed that Qin Feng helped Cao Guoming win the tea fight with Saburo Koizumi and Miyamoto Musashi. However, everyone still found this matter a bit unbelievable. After all, no matter how much he helped Cao Guoming, Cao Guoming would not be able to win.
It’s impossible for Guoming to spend so much money to marry a pawn like Qin Feng? This is definitely not Cao Guoming’s character!
Tang Yuntao also had a look of shock on his face. This was the first time he had lost his composure today.
Huangfutai stared at Cao Guoming with an angry face and said, "Mr. Cao, do you really want to give this book to Qin Feng?"
Cao Guoming smiled and asked: "Isn't it possible?"
Huangfutai was speechless.
Cao Guoming turned to look at Tang Yuntao in the front and said: "Boss Tang, before I make the formal payment, can I ask Brother Qin Feng to come on stage to authenticate the authenticity of this book?"
A look of astonishment appeared on Tang Yuntao's face. It seemed that at this moment, he understood something. It turned out that Cao Guoming had this plan.
Thinking of this, Tang Yuntao said calmly: "That's no problem. Since Mr. Cao has doubts about the authenticity of this book, it is natural to ask someone to authenticate it. But Mr. Cao, are you sure this young man really knows how to authenticate it?"
?"
Cao Guoming smiled slightly: "I trust him." After saying that, Cao Guoming looked at Qin Feng with a smile and said: "Brother Qin Feng, thank you for your work."
Qin Feng glanced at Cao Guoming thoughtfully, then at Tang Yuntao, nodded with a smile, stood up and walked onto the stage, stood under the spotlight, and carefully looked at the annotated edition of Master Hanshan from the Ming Dynasty described in this book.
The ancient book "Tao Te Ching".
After looking carefully for a few times, Qin Feng asked the auctioneer to bring over a pair of white gloves and opened the pages to observe carefully.
All eyes at the scene were focused on the young man Qin Feng.
No one expected that in today's first program, Qin Feng would appear unexpectedly, disrupting the engagement ceremony between Huangfutai and Xue Jiahui, and directly slapping Huangfutai in the face.
At first, everyone thought that this kid was just a stupid and bold guy who didn't even know he offended ruthless people. However, everyone believed that such a small role would always be a small role and it was impossible for him to become famous.
But now, this little character who was so disliked by everyone is once again standing in the center of the stage and in the spotlight.
Jiang Wenchao and Duan Meijuan were sitting at the last table. Jiang Wenchao said angrily: "What's going on with Qin Feng's grandson? Cao Guoming is really lucky that he promoted him so much."
Duan Meijuan nodded and said, "Yes, look, this guy is actually pretending to wear white gloves. It looks like he is putting on airs."
Jiang Wenchao nodded: "Huh, let him be proud for a while. When he comes down, we will go up and remind him immediately. When it comes to Tang Feifei's birthday party, if he can't let Tang Feifei be the first dance partner, then
If you choose him, then he won't have to go to work in the company tomorrow. I believe that the great sadness after such great joy will definitely be very sour for him!"
In the center of the stage, Qin Feng spent nearly seven or eight minutes before he slowly raised his head, looked at Cao Guoming, and said in a low but powerful voice: "Mr. Cao, this book is fake."
"What? Is this book fake?" Upon hearing this, Huangfutai stood up and looked at Qin Feng with anger in his eyes and said loudly: "Qin Feng, do you understand or not? Don't talk nonsense here.
Okay, okay, this is an ancient book donated by Boss Tang, how could it be fake?"
Tang Feifei stood up directly, stared at Qin Feng with a hint of chill in her beautiful eyes, and said: "Qin Feng, can you see clearly? I can tell you clearly that for this book we invited three people from Yanjing City
Top experts in the antique industry conducted an appraisal, and they all unanimously determined that the book is authentic."
Qin Feng looked at the goddess in his heart and said with a smile: "Miss Tang Feifei, I read it right, this book is indeed a fake.
I don’t know which expert you asked to appraise it, but now, I can point out the problems with this book on the spot and ask for your advice.”
As he spoke, Qin Feng pointed to the book and said: "Miss Tang, the paper used in this book is indeed the paper of the Ming Dynasty, it can even be said to be the paper of Master Hanshan's era, and this book is indeed
However, the ancient books were not printed in the Ming Dynasty, but were printed in the Kangxi period. This is because the ink used in the Ming Dynasty by Master Hanshan was different from the ink used in the Kangxi period.
This is one of the doubtful points of this book.
The second doubtful point is that on the cover of this book, the characters of the Tao Te Ching are a little rough. Although I tried my best to imitate the edition from the time of Master Hanshan in the Ming Dynasty, it is a pity that the characters of this book were slightly rough when they were engraved.
It’s a mistake, so from this word, it’s absolutely certain that this book is fake.”
Tang Feifei said with a cold face: "Qin Feng, why do you say there is something wrong with this sutra text? Have you ever seen the real version?"
Qin Feng smiled: "I'm sorry, I have indeed read the original copy of this book. Moreover, the original copy has one of the most remarkable features, that is, when you use Wuyi Mountain's top-grade Dahongpao with spring water from Yuquan Mountain,
Tea, after you spill the tea on the back cover, you will find that a complex shape of a crater will be revealed on the back cover! Believe it or not!"
After Qin Feng finished speaking, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Especially Tang Yuntao, when Qin Feng said the last words, a sharp light flashed in his eyes!
It's the look you get when you discover a huge treasure. It's a greedy, unstoppable desire!
But this look disappeared in a flash!
Tang Yuntao naturally knew whether this book was authentic or not. However, he never expected that a young man like Qin Feng would actually see the authentic book and immediately reveal a huge secret hidden in the authentic book!
Tang Yuntao's eyes immediately turned to Xue Zhenqiang and Huangfutai. He noticed that after listening to Qin Feng's two previous points, the two of them all nodded, because they were sitting there and could also watch through the big screen.
A close-up view of the book's details, including the entire process of Qin Feng's observation.
It is very likely that Xue Zhenqiang and Huangfutai have read the authentic copy, so they agree with Qin Feng's point of view. In this way, Tang Yuntao can finally be sure that these two people have the authentic copy. His purpose of attracting attention today has been achieved.
But what really surprised him was that Qin Feng actually read the real book. This was his biggest unexpected gain today.
At this moment, not only Tang Yuntao, but also Xue Zhenqiang, Huangfutai and Cao Guoming all focused their attention on Qin Feng. Because the last news disclosed by Qin Feng just now shocked them all.
Especially Xue Zhenqiang and Huangfutai, what they want to do most now is to go home quickly and try according to Qin Feng's words to see if they can see the crater, because this is likely to be related to the secret of the treasure. And
Although they have this book at home, none of their descendants can really find out the secret of the treasure map, and no one can use this book to find out where the map is? And Qin Feng's statement undoubtedly provided them with the most reliable one
ideas.
Qin Feng didn't know that at this moment, what he said today would cause serious troubles for him!
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade! He has become the target of public criticism!
