Old Town God's Temple Antique Street is one of the largest antique streets in Binhai, and the auction here is also one of the largest auctions in Binhai. There may be one auction every month, and all of the more valuable genuine antiques are put up for auction.
Some of them are high-priced antiques collected by the antique shops in the antique street and want to sell them at auction.
Like this time, there are several antiques up for auction in the ‘Treasure Bowl’.
When the bidding time was approaching, Xiao Chen followed Pan Sheng to the auction site. It was an antique place with two floors. The upper floor was where guests watched and bid, and in the middle of the first floor was the auction house.
The place where the auctioneer conducts the auction, surrounded by guests.
Not just anyone can come to an auction like this. It is either a membership system or only those who have been introduced by someone and have a certain status can come in.
However, even so, the auction held once a month was still very popular. When Xiao Chen and Pan Sheng came in, they found that many people were already sitting inside.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the Doctor Xiao that I want to introduce." Pan Sheng took Xiao Chen over. Xiao Chen saw a doctor who was about the same age as Pan Sheng, but his dressing sense seemed to be a little higher. He was gentle and polite.
The rich young man.
The other party was sitting there chatting with several young people of about the same age around him. Mr. Zhou heard that this young man in front of him cured Uncle Pan Sheng's disease. When he looked over, his eyes naturally looked a little different.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Shihao." Zhou Shihao stretched out his hand and said.
"Hello, my name is Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen shook hands with him as a greeting.
When Xiao Chen sat down, the other young men around Zhou Shihao saw Xiao Chen's outfit, but they didn't take Xiao Chen seriously.
"I heard that Doctor Xiao was lucky yesterday and picked up a lucky pig."
"Indeed, it has just been registered, and it is among the 18th bidder today." Xiao Chen said.
According to Pan Sheng, the fortune pig was worth at least several million, but because Xiao Chen had just cured his uncle's illness and Xiao Chen wanted to sell it, the cornucopia didn't know how much it cost to buy it.
Okay, so it’s better to bid through bidding.
"It should be from the Yongle period of Zhu Di. There is a layer of brass on the outside, but the inside is actually gold. Moreover, except for the upper part of the pig head, which may be hollow, the bottom part is solid. I checked the relevant information, and it should be
It is a household item belonging to a prince surnamed Zhu from the south of the Yangtze River during the Zhu Di period, and it is a very rare work." Pan Sheng said.
"If that's the case, I would like to bid." Zhou Shihao said.
"I'm afraid it's not just you. Liu Gui wanted to buy it yesterday." Pan Sheng said again.
If that's the case, I'm afraid today's bidding will be a bit fierce.
Today's auction is about to begin. Soon, those information works, including information about Xiao Chen's 'Lucky Pig', are also printed. There are a total of twenty-two works for bidding today, most of which are high-quality.
If the work is too ordinary, it is impossible to bid here.
For example, the No. 1 bidding piece is called a jade dragon pattern ring, with a diameter of about 12 centimeters, and a starting price of about 350,000. It belongs to the Western Han Dynasty and is a related cultural relic. The auction staff has checked the relevant information and knows the approximate price.
value.
In Pan Sheng's view, it would be good to get this kind of antique for 400,000 yuan, and still make a profit for 500,000 yuan. Then it would be okay to sell it for 1 million yuan.
Moreover, there is a lot of room for appreciation, because it is an antique in itself, unlike ordinary jades, which cost hundreds of thousands, but in fact, they are not worth that much money at all.
Xiao Chen looked at the bidding information there. After reading them all, one of the bidding items caught his attention.
No. 13, a work called ‘Bagua Mirror’, which it says may have been the work of a monk during the Three Kingdoms period.
It's just that mainland Chinese are not very interested in this kind of thing that involves Taoism, so the starting price above is not very high, only around 150,000.
However, Xiao Chen became a little interested when he saw this work.
"Doctor Xiao, the auction price of your antique should be in third place." According to the value of these antiques today, Xiao Chen's lucky pig can indeed be auctioned on the ground. According to the price of gold, it is worth
Three to four hundred thousand, if you add in the antique collection value, it would be several million, which is normal.
When the auctioneer came on stage and started bidding on the first work, the first work was placed directly on the middle table for people to watch, and there was a tray to support it.
Everyone could see it clearly. As soon as Xiao Chen looked over, he saw a white jade ring, but he couldn't understand its value.
When Xiao Chen looked through it with his clairvoyant eyes, he could actually see something like spiritual energy emanating from the jade ring.
This seems to be different from the fakes outside, including the many jades on his street stall, all of which do not seem to have this kind of aura.
Could it be that my clairvoyant eyes can tell something through these real and fake antiques?
Like those fakes that are old or imitated, there is nothing noticeable at all.
"Doctor Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Pan Sheng looked at Xiao Chen staring at the jade ring, as if he was in a trance.
"No, it's nothing." Xiao Chen quickly looked away. When he didn't look at it with his clairvoyant eyes, he realized that it was just an ordinary white jade ring.
However, I don’t know why, but now Xiao Chen actually feels that there is an extra spiritual energy in his meridians!
how so?
Xiao Chen couldn't understand it more and more.
There were constant bids upstairs and downstairs. The starting price was originally thirty-five, but now it was over one million. Before it stopped, it had already exceeded three times the original price.
"Gold has a price, but jade is priceless!" This saying has been circulating in the antique world, especially jade-related antiques. Therefore, the bidders have never stopped.
It wasn't until 1.5 million that it finally stopped.
"Master Pan, will you lose money if you buy this?" Xiao Chen asked.
"You won't lose money for sure, it's just a bit difficult to make a move and it will take some time."
…
The host continued to bid there. Starting from the second work, Xiao Chen used his clairvoyance to look at it again. He found that these works all had something like aura, but more or less.
For example, work No. 1 has more aura than work No. 2, and work No. 2 is the work of a painter from the Ming Dynasty. The painter was not very famous, so it was finally bought for 1 million.
Until the 13th work, the 'Bagua Mirror', which is about the size of a palm, but the outside is made of brass. It was just placed on the tray. When Xiao Chen looked at it with his clairvoyant eyes, he actually felt the 'Bagua Mirror' completely.
'It gives people a completely different feeling. There is a spiritual energy in it, which is very abundant, much more than the first work.
He must get this Bagua mirror, it might be useful. Although the starting price is relatively low, Xiao Chen is afraid that someone will bid too high and he won't be able to buy it.
"Master Pan, I want to take a picture of that Bagua mirror!" Xiao Chen whispered to Pan Sheng beside him.
Pan Sheng looked at the Bagua mirror, but he didn't think anything. Instead, he thought it was very ordinary, worth at most three hundred thousand.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen is interested now.
"I'll quietly ask someone to shout it down for you." He definitely wouldn't shout it, because many people know that he is the owner of the cornucopia. If he shouts it and others follow suit, then the price will definitely be high.
Now that Xiao Chen wants to get it, he will definitely let someone get it at the lowest bidding price. (To be continued)
