However, this black market is not a serious place after all, so customers who are not familiar with it often do not strike up a conversation. After all, no one has the word "bad guy" written on their face.
This Young Master Bai is not a fool, and he is no longer a child who does whatever he wants without caring about it. No matter how powerful he is, he will not break the existing rules for no reason. This will look very awkward.
No quality, lower status.
But this young man Bai is also a frequent visitor to the black market. He knows a little about people like Li Ka and is familiar with him, so he said hello to Li Ka first and exchanged a few words before asking.
Said: "I wonder if you can introduce me to the little brother next to me. What should I call him?"
Qiao Meng's sense was still very keen. He had guessed what Young Master Bai wanted to do just now. Although Young Master Bai behaved politely, on this occasion, Qiao Meng didn't want to say anything more, so he
He simply replied:
"Hello, my surname is Qiao, and I am good friends with Brother Li Ka."
When Young Master Bai heard Qiao Meng's surname, he immediately thought of the legendary Qiao family. He and Qiao Hai were good friends. Qiao Meng's appearance was somewhat similar to Qiao Hai's at first glance.
If he was really from the Qiao family, it would be normal for him to look down on the woman next to him. The Qiao family could not get anything they wanted, and the Bai family did not dare to provoke the Qiao family. The two families lived together in a cooperative relationship.
But what surprised him was that in his impression, there seemed to be no Qiao Meng in the Qiao family, and Qiao Hai had never mentioned it to him, which made him feel a little confused.
In addition, Qiao Meng said that he was Li Ka's friend, which made him even more confused. He knew that Li Ka was rarely active in Kyoto, and he must not be from Kyoto to be friends with him.
Just when Young Master Bai was about to ask for details, new people who seemed to be relatively big-name people were invited in. However, when he saw one of them, his expression immediately changed and he felt very bad.
In fact, not only him, but Qiao Meng sitting next to him also frowned. This man was actually Baidu's eldest brother, but he hadn't asked his name yet. It could be seen that Baidu was also very unhappy at this time.
.
Seeing that Young Master Bai, Qiao Meng and Bai Du were all present, this person also frowned. He did not expect to meet his younger brother and his enemies in such a place.
He was also a little worried at this time, because his actions last time had undoubtedly provoked Qiao Meng, and now it would be difficult for him to deal with the three of them sitting together.
The staff here were very discerning. They saw that this person was not getting along well with Qiao Meng and the others, so they took him to the other side.
Just now, Young Master Bai also saw the expressions of Qiao Meng and Bai Du, so he asked with great interest: "Brother Qiao, look at what you just looked like, don't you and Bai Yunfei not deal with each other? This little brother seems to be the same way.
ah?"
Qiao Meng smiled slightly and said, "You can say that he and I have some differences, what about you?" Baidu didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Me, it's almost the same. I think it's all the grudges I've had over the past two years," Mr. Bai said with a smile.
Although Mr. Bai had a calm look on his face, in fact, he was already confused inside, and he was even more confused about Qiao Meng's identity.
Bai Yunfei came to Kyoto without a trace back then and wanted to develop a new Bai family, but he couldn't stop him at all. There was always someone behind the scenes to help him get through. His identity must not be simple, but Qiao Meng was actually able to get along with this person.
It's really unbelievable that they can meet so peacefully.
Is it any wonder that Qiao Meng is not from the Qiao family? If so, Bai Yunfei should not dare to provoke him easily, or does Bai Yunfei not know?
Young Master Bai thought hard and couldn't come up with a reason. In fact, the real situation is that Bai Yunfei doesn't know what kind of background Qiao Meng has. He only knows that he is his brother's helper now, and that's all. What's more, Bai Yunfei doesn't know what kind of background Qiao Meng has.
Even Qiao Meng himself at Xiamen Station doesn’t know whether it belongs to the Qiao family, who can be sure.
"Hey, have I been confused lately? Why don't you just ask me directly? I really still have so much on my mind."
Young Master Bai patted his forehead lightly, but just when he was about to ask, a middle-aged man in his fifties came out of the room inside.
The man walked to the middle position and stood up, coughed slightly, and then said with great enthusiasm: "Good evening everyone, my name is He Qizheng. I believe all the old friends here are familiar with me, so new friends are okay too."
"I'm a very easy person to get along with and we'll get to know each other through more exchanges. If you think my stuff is good, you're welcome to come over next time. Without further ado, the auction will start on time."
As soon as He Qizheng finished speaking, a staff member put a box on the table and took out the contents. Qiao Meng took a closer look and saw that it was a set of twelve cups in total.
"The first thing to be photographed below is the Qing Kangxi Blue and White Twelve-Flower God Cup. Interested friends can come on stage to take a look. If you need to come into contact with it, please wear the special dust-proof gloves we prepared." He Qizheng finished speaking.
Step aside.
Today may be because of the accident that occurred in several black markets last time, so there are not too many guests here. The total number is only more than thirty people. Although there are not many people, you can tell from the clothes.
All of these people are either rich or noble.
After He Qizheng finished speaking, someone walked up directly.
Although Qiao Meng was not very interested in things like this wine glass, but not buying it didn't mean that he couldn't look at it. Something like this was also a good opportunity to play with. Anyway, it wouldn't do much to look at it, so he walked up.
Seeing Qiao Meng step forward to observe, and Bai Yunfei also followed, he wanted to see how Qiao Meng held the treasure firmly.
In this black market auction, the time for each appraisal is only three minutes. However, this is the time for everyone to appraise together. If so many people are crowded together to watch, it is inevitable that they will not be able to see carefully.
What's more, at this time, you can't see too many things at all, which undoubtedly makes it difficult for everyone to judge the authenticity of things. However, the black market is like this. The price of things is lower than that in the normal market, and others
You are not a fool. If you understand everything, how much money can you make?
This set of cups has a long history and is a famous product from the Qing Dynasty. Qiao Meng put on his gloves and knew a lot of information about them as soon as he touched them. There are twelve cups with a flower in each cup. One side of the cup has a painting and the other side has a poem.
, the poems are basically contemporary compositions or famous poems from past dynasties.
Each cup is also painted with a seasonal flower, referring to a famous woman in history, and has a corresponding poem inscribed on it, so it is named "December Flower God Cup". The inscription on the bottom of this cup is relatively small.
The fonts are not necessarily the same, most of them are not very neat.
Specifications: The caliber of Shangguan kiln is 6.7 cm, the full diameter is 2.8 cm, and the height is 4.9 cm. Some famous kilns are different from the later imitations, with a diameter of 6 cm or 6.3 cm, a full diameter of 2.8 cm, and a height of 6.6 cm.
Centimeter and 6.0 cm in different sizes. It can be said that the Flower God Cup is the peak of the craftsmanship of the official kiln during the Kangxi period.
As soon as Qiao Meng returned to his seat after reading it, Mr. Bai asked him in a familiar manner: "Brother Qiao, what do you think of this thing?"
Young Master Bai left a good impression on Qiao Meng. In addition, the market for wine glasses continues to be sluggish. Even if this set of wine glasses is put at auction, it is estimated to be only 20 million. The value on the black market will definitely be lower.
, so he nodded slightly and said:
"Well enough."
"Okay, everyone must have already had an impression of this set of wine glasses. The base price of this set of December Flower God Cups is two million. Interested friends can bid..."
Sure enough, there are very few people collecting things like this wine glass now, and in addition, it is not very ornamental in the first place, so no one immediately bid after the bidding came out, making the scene a bit embarrassing.
"Okay, I'll pay you two million."
Seeing that no one was bidding at the scene, and the price was relatively low, if no one wanted it, Qiao Meng would simply buy it, and it would be a good choice to give it to Tian Lao. This was also the first time he bid the lowest price.
"Two million and one million!"
As soon as Qiao Meng made a bid, Bai Yunfei immediately increased the price. This was obviously intentional. Qiao Meng didn't know what Bai Yunfei was thinking. Since he wanted to play, let's have fun, so he chuckled at Bai Yunfei and bid.
road:
"Two and a half million!"
"Two million and a half million!"
"Two million six hundred thousand!"
"Two million six hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Three million!"
Seeing that the price had risen by one million, Li Ka quickly pulled Qiao Meng, but Qiao Meng ignored him, but still looked in the direction of Bai Yunfei and shouted directly.
"Three and a half million!" Bai Yunfei seemed to have no sense at this time. He just wanted to see how long Qiao Meng could compete with him.
What Bai Yunfei never expected was that when he made the bid, he saw Qiao Meng and turned around, apologized to Li Ka, and then ate pastries and drank tea without any further fuss.
Voice.
At this time, Bai Yunfei felt that he was really embarrassed. He was actually tricked by Qiao Meng. He originally thought of tricking him, but ended up stealing the chicken and leading himself into a pit.
Young Master Bai looked very happy, and Qiao Meng's move was really beautiful, so he said with joy on his face: "Brother Qiao, I admire you!"
Qiao Meng shook his head and said: "No, it's just that some people are too serious, not to mention I am a professional deceiver."
"Brother Qiao knows the market price of the December Flower God Cup, right?" Bai Yunfei asked.
"I know, let's look at the current market situation and see the five million cap." Qiao Meng replied.
The price at the regular auction is 5 million, and the 3.5 million on the black market is indeed very high. You must know that these things are not simple. If you unearth it, you will definitely bear a lot of risks, and the value will definitely not be high.
Too high.
Now Bai Yunfei had no choice but to use his bank card to make the payment with a depressed expression. Unexpectedly, he met Qiao Meng twice and tried to embarrass him but failed. It was a huge failure. He finally understood why his brother trusted him so much.
When he came out after paying, he stared in the direction where they were sitting. If eyes could kill, he might have successfully killed Qiao Meng and others many times.
