Chapter 79 There is a problem with the incense burner
In the end, the hostess repeatedly confirmed that there would be no other price tag, and the Tang Sancai horse was snapped up by Qiao Meng for 2.7 million.
Even Qiao Meng himself didn't expect that such a good thing would be pocketed by him at such a price. If it appeared on the outside market, it would be worth at least seven or eight million, and could even be sold to tens of millions.
Things, but this is an auction. As long as you can get it at a lower price, you will make a profit.
Since the Tang Sancai horse was relatively large, two big men from the black market carried it to Qiao Meng's table. After the auction, people were arranged to pack it so that it could be taken away easily.
Qiao Meng looked at the two horses on the same platform on the table and watched them carefully. Although he already knew that they were genuine, he still said proudly: "I am really lucky this time, otherwise I would have been so lucky."
You’re going to miss such a wonderful treasure.”
Chen Shicheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes while listening, "You kid, why do you always use luck to explain everything, and you still want to say that you rely on luck for your lack of strength? I think you must have some secret,
Isn’t that right?”
"Do I have any secrets? Isn't this just a step-by-step bidding process? I didn't expect to bid so high that people wouldn't want it. How can this not be called luck?" Qiao Meng explained vigorously.
Chen Shicheng was rendered speechless by Qiao Meng. He was already in his thirties, but he was rendered speechless by a young man in his early twenties. It was really embarrassing.
"Okay, I know you are lucky. Next time, would you mind sharing some of your luck with me, an old man who has no luck? This way I can change my luck and maybe get some good stuff."
Chen Shicheng could only say helplessly.
"Okay, what Brother Chen says is whatever he says. You are so lively and lively, and you talk about old people, they don't exist. You will definitely get good stuff next time." Qiao Meng didn't want Chen Shicheng to worry too much about his own method of appraising antiques.
He also catered to him and joked with him.
Next, Qiao Meng thought that there would be some good products coming out, but he didn't expect that there would be some small items that were relatively old. They sounded worth buying, but in fact they didn't have much value. He was just a little interested anyway.
None, and even less interested in looking at Chen Shicheng.
"Brother Chen, it's rare for you to bring me to the black market. I can't take pictures of anything, but you don't have anything. I feel a little sorry for this. Otherwise, it's better to pick one as a souvenir. It's worth it.
This is the trip." Qiao Meng looked at Chen Shicheng and persuaded.
Although the things on this are indeed not worth much, they are good as souvenirs. After all, they are relatively rare small items that are only found on the black market. Even if they are not valuable in themselves, they can be used for show.
"You've said so, what else can I do? Then help me find the right one?" Chen Shicheng looked indifferent.
Qiao Meng went directly to the stage and started to look at it. Through subsequent observations, the last item finally caught his attention. It was not because of the high value of the item itself but because of the exquisite workmanship of this item.
It is very eye-catching. This is a carving, a wood carving. It looks like the knife skills are very good, the knife skills are skillful and delicate, and the wood seems to be a hundred years old.
Chen Shicheng also took a look at this treasure under Qiao Meng's persuasion, and found that it was really good. It can be kept as a decoration. This is also the last one here. If you don't take a picture, you will have to leave empty-handed. This is still
The first time he comes to the black market, he may have to leave without buying anything.
However, what Chen Shicheng didn't expect was that the man next to Li Qiang took a fancy to this wood carving, and directly offered him a high price to take it away. Originally, Chen Shicheng could have fought for it, but the other party's price was really higher than the estimate for this item.
, if it’s not worth it to be motivated, it’s better to just give up, and you won’t lose anything anyway.
Just after this item was photographed, everyone thought it was over and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the hostess spoke again: "Dear distinguished guests, our boss just sent a message saying that in order to be able to
Everyone has a great time, and I specially added an important treasure to the photo shoot. I think you will not be disappointed. Next, let me invite you to the last treasure tonight!"
I saw two big men in black, each holding this treasure on the stage and carefully placing it on a specific large table.
"Everyone, please look carefully. The last important treasure is the Xuande incense burner, and it is the imperial incense burner used by Hanshan Temple." The female host explained again.
As soon as this statement came out, the scene was in an uproar. If it was just an ordinary incense burner, it would not cause much reaction. Anything without the blessing of holy light would not be looked down upon by others, but this is the imperial incense burner of Hanshan Temple. If
If it's true, it's worth at least no less than the Tang Sancai horse that Qiao Meng just photographed.
Some people may not know what Hanshan Temple is, but there is a poem that has been handed down that most people definitely know. It is "Mooring at Maple Bridge at Night" written by the poet Zhang Ji during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty because he failed in the exam.
"The moon is setting, crows are crying and frost fills the sky, river maples and fishing fires are facing melancholy, Hanshan Temple is outside the city of Suzhou, and the bells are ringing to the passenger ship at midnight." This poem has a natural charm, and Hanshan Temple is even more famous because of it.
It was not until the Xuande period that Hanshan Temple was rewarded a lot by the emperor and was given benefits for additional construction.
This incense burner is different as soon as it comes up. It is not a small incense burner, but a large incense burner with a diameter of at least 20 centimeters. This directly determines its price. It is no wonder that it requires two big men to carry it.
It's here, it's an absolute treasure.
Qiao Meng's eyes were now very sharp. As soon as he came up, he saw that there seemed to be reliefs on the incense burner, and the carvings were dragon patterns. This was obviously a method that could only be used by the royal family. Who else would dare to use something with random dragon patterns carved on it?
If found, they will be beheaded.
Chen Shicheng was also shocked at this time. He had been to this black market so many times, but he had never seen such a big item. Qiao Meng's Tang Sancai horse was already the largest he had seen today.
He didn't expect something bigger to come out, so he murmured: "I don't know if this is true. If it is true, it would be crazy. I dare to trade such things in the black market without fear of being discovered.
Where are you going with such a big guy?"
In fact, he didn't expect that Qiao Meng's Tang Sancai horse was also very big and heavy. It was okay to pick it up after observing for a while, but if someone kept holding it and running, I'm afraid it wouldn't work in less than a minute.
Qiao Meng observed some details at this time and said to Chen Shicheng: "Brother Chen, why does this thing look like it was just unearthed from somewhere? Isn't Hanshan Temple still there now? Where did this object come from?"
"Xiao Meng, I think this thing is definitely not simple. I have actually been to Hanshan Temple. The incense burner there has long been a modern handicraft. It is very likely that this thing was stolen when Hanshan Temple was built many years ago.
The water here is quite deep, so I think we should not get involved."
Chen Shicheng recalled something in his mind and said to Qiao Meng solemnly.
Qiao Meng listened attentively and kept nodding. It was really inappropriate to blindly participate in such a situation, otherwise he might be affected a lot.
At this moment, Qiao Meng suddenly noticed that Li Qiang and the man next to him didn't seem to be very interested in this thing. Instead, they looked very satisfied when they looked at the onlookers, as if this thing had been noticed by others.
The two of them seemed to be making money, and their expressions were a little strange.
Suddenly he thought of something. Qiao Meng whispered to Chen Shicheng: "Brother Chen, listen to me, be careful and look in the direction of Li Qiang. I found that they have a problem. They may have gotten this thing from somewhere. Today
Maybe this last scene was caused by them getting through the master here."
"It's very possible. No wonder I said that I have come here so many times and never had an extra shot. I have never seen such a big object and dared to trade it on such a black market. You Tang Sancai Horse is considered big."
Chen Shicheng followed Qiao Meng's instructions and secretly looked at the appearance of Li Qiang and Li Qiang. It was indeed a bit unusual. They looked at others with greedy eyes, so he also analyzed their past experiences.
"Brother Chen, I very much suspect that this Tang Sancai horse was stolen together with this incense burner. After all, these are relatively large objects, and judging from the age, they are probably decorations given by the emperor when they were built in the Tang Dynasty.
It's so easy for me to take pictures just now. It's doubtful that the men around Li Qiang didn't bid for such a good thing." Qiao Meng analyzed vigorously.
"This is going to be a bit troublesome, but don't worry, as long as you buy this thing, I will never let you spend money in vain and have to give it back." Chen Shicheng also slapped Qiao Meng.
Guaranteeing votes, he can indeed do this.
Qiao Meng also nodded with peace of mind, "Brother Chen, let's just sit back and wait for the last additional filming to be over. We won't go up to watch, otherwise we will be in trouble if we accidentally get involved."
Chen Shicheng agreed very much with what Qiao Meng said. He sat directly in his seat, leisurely sipping tea and eating snacks, with a calm look on his face. No one could tell that he and Qiao Meng were analyzing something just now.
A rather serious event.
Seeing Chen Shicheng sitting so calmly, Qiao Meng followed suit, but he still used his peripheral vision to observe Li Qiang's movements from time to time, and glanced at the high-definition pictures on the big screen intentionally or unintentionally in his seat.
Through this kind of observation, we can initially conclude that it is genuine.
The price of this incense burner is very high, it has already exceeded 6 million, and some of them were discovered by Qiao Meng. They would raise the price every time, which just raised the price, and also attracted other people's desire to compete. Finally,
This valuable treasure was bought by a fat tycoon for 7.8 million.
