In fact, the seats where Qiao Meng and Yao Miaomiao sat were specially arranged by Anna. Since that night, she had specially asked the person in charge on the third floor to reserve this seat. As long as the person who came was not Qiao Meng, they would tell the public that they had been booked.
Even today, as soon as he brought Yao Miaomiao in, someone went to notify Anna.
After learning the news, she, who was still talking to others, said sorry and immediately came out to receive Qiao Meng, but she did not expect such a result.
It's no wonder why she was a little unhappy in the end.
"Qiao Meng, thank you." After Anna left, Yao Miaomiao said this. It turned out that she was special and emotional in his heart. After knowing this different meaning, she felt at ease.
A lot.
"Nothing, let's watch the auction first. Maybe there will be some good stuff later. Although I saw a fake last time, I also observed it and found that there are indeed a lot of good stuff here, but not
Do you know how much money your father has prepared to buy this gift?" Qiao Meng said very calmly, obviously there was no pressure at all not to spend his own money.
"You don't have to worry about it. What do you think this is?" Yao Miaomiao smiled and pulled out a shiny bank card from her handbag.
"Is this? Is it your father's gold card?" Qiao Meng kept staring at this card, not because he was greedy for the money in the card, but because this is the gold card of the largest wealthy businessman in S City. It not only symbolizes many
The money inside expresses more of a noble status.
In fact, the Yao family is not only the largest business family in S city, but also one of the top construction investors in the entire S provincial capital. It has maintained a cooperative relationship with the Yao family to a large extent, so this gold card also represents the Yao family's investment in the entire S provincial capital.
Contribution, this honor is not something that everyone can have.
Qiao Meng also has a gold card, but since the old mayor Chen Shicheng has stepped down, this gold card is just a symbol of his achievements, not to mention that what he has in his hand is only a spare gold card, which he borrowed in an emergency.
In fact, you will know that this gold card will not be on the market at all. Qiao Meng will still have to find time to transfer funds to his card, but he has been too busy recently and has not had time to do this.
"Wow, your father actually gave you such an important gold card. Doesn't that mean you can buy any treasure no matter how high the price is?" Qiao Meng said with a longing look on his face.
"No, this is just my dad's secondary card. It can be swiped up to 100 million, and the bill will be sent directly to him for reporting. It's just for me to use today." Yao Miaomiao said a little embarrassed.
"One...one hundred million, that's a lot." Qiao Meng swallowed a little. Although he had seen hundreds of millions, he really didn't know what it would feel like to have one hundred million.
"Hehe, you also want 100 million, I believe you will make it in the future. You are so good, maybe this won't be a big deal in the future." Yao Miaomiao said with a smile on her face.
"How can I be as powerful as you say?" Qiao Meng smiled and then stopped talking about this topic.
Indeed, he may not be able to earn 100 million now, but with his technical level, I believe he will be able to achieve this goal soon. By then, maybe 100 million will be nothing to him?
Maybe it's just a small goal.
"Okay, the photo session has started, let's take a look." Qiao Meng saw a lifting platform slowly rising on the stage, with three objects covered by red cloth on it. It should be that the photo session was about to start, so he reminded him.
"Well, okay." Yao Miaomiao also knew that the main thing now was to see if there were any good things in these three treasures, so she also looked at the photo booth seriously, and even the food that was served just now was not eaten immediately.
"Everyone, according to the old rules, this is our morning auction on the third floor. There are three treasures, and the one with the highest price will get them. If no one bids, they will be used as exhibits and placed in the ancient building city for decoration. They will never appear again.
At the auction, I hope you won’t miss out on good things because of hesitation.” The host who spoke this time was not Anna, but a man who looked to be in his thirties and quite energetic.
"So, what will be our first auction item? It is... our Qin Dynasty bronze horn cup." The host took the guesswork and then opened the first covered red cloth, and took the photo.
High-definition multi-angle photos of this antique are also displayed on the curtain wall of the stage for viewing.
"What? It's just a bronze cup. It's too boring."
"Yeah, this morning's morning photo shoot was a bit ordinary."
"Well, it's better to take night photos in the evening. I'm still interested in it."
After seeing the real objects, many people were very disappointed. They thought that although they were antiques from the Qin Dynasty, there were so many such objects in circulation on the market now that they had lost their collection value, so they complained.
At this time, the host quickly explained: "Don't worry, everyone, this is not an ordinary bronze horn cup. According to experts, it is speculated that this is probably the utensil used by Qin Shihuang's general Meng Tian. Its value and status are evident.
."
Wow!
The scene was in an uproar. This was actually the three-legged wine glass used by Meng Tian. If this was the case, its collection value would not be comparable to that of ordinary three-legged wine glasses. It would look very prestigious when placed at home, even
With the help of this general's aura, maybe the family's prosperity can be suppressed, which is indeed a good thing.
After listening to the host's words, many people began to weigh the value in their hearts. Obviously, more people began to want to bid for this artifact.
"Everyone, this opportunity is not to be missed. It will never come back. The starting price is 1.5 million." The host took the opportunity to fan the flames again.
"I'll pay 2 million."
"I'll pay 3 million."
"I'll pay 5 million."
"I'll pay 8 million."
"10 million."
Soon, the price reached tens of millions, and the only thing worth this price was a used bronze wine cup from the Qin Dynasty.
Qiao Meng looked at it and smiled in his heart. These people who like to collect antiques are really rich and stupid. Then he thought, but without these people, how can people like him who sell antiques make profits from it?
But that doesn’t mean that all antiques are meaningless and have no value. Many antiques are portrayals and representatives of the phenomenon of an era or the characters of that era. This is very conducive to the inheritance of culture, so it is worth spending money on. But this
Qiao Meng really didn't dare to compliment the wine glass and didn't think it could be worth ten million.
"Qiao Meng, this is the wine glass used by the general. Don't you think this is a meaningful gift?" Yao Miaomiao asked suspiciously when she saw that Qiao Meng didn't seem to want to bid.
"Miaomiao, you don't understand. This wine glass is just an abandoned object used by others. It has no historical value, so it is not worth ten million, and it is not worth buying it for us." Qiao Meng explained.
"So that's it." Yao Miaomiao replied, seemingly understanding.
Qiao Meng waved to Yao Miaomiao and whispered, "And, the most important thing is, this thing is actually fake. It's not even a Qin Dynasty item. It's a high imitation."
"What? How do you know? You know it just by looking at it like this?" Yao Miaomiao almost shouted out, but Qiao Meng covered her mouth and whispered again.
"Well, I can see it. Don't you still believe in my strength?" Qiao Meng said confidently.
In fact, he could tell this at a glance. What he actually learned the most from his master Liu Xiazi was the knowledge of bronzes, and he had seen a lot. The most important thing was that his master liked to drink from the three-legged wine cup of the Qin Dynasty.
, so he is very clear about this item.
Without explaining anything more, Qiao Meng motioned for Yao Miaomiao to eat something first. Anyway, there are two more things. They shouldn't all be fake. Otherwise, this ancient city would not have existed until now, let alone be so popular.
People came to cause trouble.
You must know that Gulou City has existed longer than the Yao Miaomiao family's manor. If Wanbao Manor is the living fossil of S City, then Gulou City is the historical symbol of S City and has existed since the official establishment of S City.
After a while, this three-legged wine glass was bought by a fat man for more than 20 million, and he was about to leave happily, probably because he wanted to take it home quickly, and walked past Qiao Meng.
He was still giggling all the time, as if he had found a treasure, and Qiao Meng couldn't help but smile when he saw him like this.
"Why are you laughing? I haven't seen the baby before. I won't show it to you. Let's go." The fat man said to Qiao Meng with a proud look on his face, and then left.
Qiao Meng and Yao Miaomiao, two people who knew the truth, couldn't help but laugh when they saw Fatty so happy, but they still managed to hold it back.
So soon, the second item also started to be auctioned, but it was another item that was not very interesting. Although it was said to be genuine, Qiao Meng was not very fond of it.
You know, Yao Miaomiao carries 100 million yuan with him. These things are really out of place.
In the end, the item was taken away for 10 million.
Just when both of them were impatient with waiting, the next words spoken by the host completely woke up the confused Qiao Meng.
"Next, for the third time in the history of our three-story morning auction, there will be an antique with a reserve price of tens of millions, a masterpiece by the Qing Dynasty calligrapher Zheng Banqiao..."Orchid and Bamboo"."
As soon as these words came out, all the guests were shocked. Qiao Meng immediately cheered up and said, "Miaomiao, here we come. The most valuable masterpiece today has appeared, and it is this calligraphy and painting!"
“The starting price for our calligraphy and painting is 25 million!”
Wow!
There was another commotion. The starting price was directly higher than the transaction price of the first item just now. It was an absolutely high-value collection.
"Are you sure it's true? Qiao Meng." Yao Miaomiao asked.
"I don't know yet. I need to verify it, but I know that if it is true, we must get it. There is no more suitable gift for cooperation than it. It is definitely a treasure!" Qiao Meng said with great certainty.
