Chapter 1432 Jade Hollow Dragon Pattern Ring
Chen Wei didn't send any more photos to Cheng Zhenghai, Cheng Zhenghai asked Chen Wei where did he get it?
Chen Wei said that a friend needed the money urgently and wanted to transfer it to him, just let Cheng Zhenghai estimate the price.

Chen Wei knew that the things in hand were worth a lot of money, and it was very likely that they were even more valuable than what Cheng Zhenghai said.

Chen Wei asked Jin Wei to recuperate here, and he drove back to Jiangzhou.

Ask a friend to find an expert to appraise the value of these things at hand.

The expert looked at it all morning and was not sure, but he thought it must be from the Western Han Dynasty or earlier.

Chen Wei thinks this judgment should be similar. With chess boards, these people must have lived no earlier than the Western Han Dynasty, but there is also a possibility that these things are also antiques in the Western Han Dynasty. If so, they are antiques among antiques. .

The expert called several of his friends, five of them spent an afternoon, and finally gave the result.

Some of these antiques are from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and some are from the Qin Dynasty. Basically, they are all earlier than the Han Dynasty.

It seems that Chen Wei's guess is right, those people living in Shandong are also antique lovers.

Chen Wei picked one and planned to test the waters at the auction.

Chen Wei asked several experts to estimate the price, and the experts looked at it and gave an estimate of around 400-600 million.

"Jade hollow dragon pattern ring!" Chen Wei looked at the antique in his hand, and learned the name of this antique from the mouth of an expert.

There is a special auction agency in Jiangzhou, and there will be an auction this week. Chen Wei contacted the organizer of the auction.

There are also several top experts in the auction house, and they were all amazed when they saw the jade hollow dragon cup.

In recent years, their auction house has hardly auctioned antiques from before the Western Han Dynasty, mainly because many collectors are unwilling to put them up for auction.

Now I finally saw an antique from the Western Han Dynasty, or even earlier, and hoped to fetch a good price at this auction.

Chen Wei is not short of money. The reason why he put it up for auction is to roughly estimate the approximate value of these antiques in his hand.

The auction officially started, and Chen Wei arrived at the auction site early.

Chen Wei's collection is relatively late, this is the arrangement of the auctioneer, and it will be launched as one of the finale.

At the beginning of the auction, there were some calligraphy and paintings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and some blue and white porcelain. The oldest ones were some antiques from the Tang Dynasty, and the prices were not very high. The most expensive ones were only a few million.

For Chen Wei's lot, the starting price is 600 million.

This is the starting price finally decided by the auction house, which is similar to what Chen Wei invited the experts to say, so Chen Wei agreed.

The auction is coming to an end, and you may feel that there are no surprises. Some people who came to the auction are already preparing to leave.

It was at this time that Chen Wei's jade hollow dragon pattern ring to be auctioned appeared on the stage.

The starting price was 600 million, and at the very beginning, someone raised the price to 800 million.

Chen Wei was also a little surprised. He heard from those experts that there was another similar to his before, and the transaction was 790 million at that time.

Unexpectedly, it has already reached 800 million at the very beginning.

Chen Wei heard from Cheng Zhenghai before that the auction house would sometimes play some tricks, such as finding someone to raise the price.

Could it be the behavior of the auction house?Chen Wei decided to wait and see, anyway, the higher the price, the more Chen Wei will gain.

"800 million once!"

When it was called for the second time, no one raised their cards.

Chen Wei was a little nervous. If the auction house deliberately raised the price and no one took the bait, then the auction would be screwed up.

Just as the hammer was raised, someone raised a sign.

"900 million!"

Chen Wei looked at the person holding the placard, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, but he turned out to be an acquaintance.

Why is he here too?The person holding the placard was none other than Chai Xiaogao from the Chai family in Jiangzhou.

Chen Wei knows that the Chai family is rich, about 900 million, which is nothing to their family!

"1000 million!" Someone raised a placard. It was a woman who looked less than 30 years old and had a beautiful profile.

Chen Wei felt that it was almost the same. Compared with 790 million, this price was already much inflated.

If this is worth 1000 million, then the harvest in the deep mountains this time will be huge, far beyond Chen Wei's imagination.

Chen Wei is not short of money now, and he is not in a hurry to cash out. It is just a rough estimate.

I didn't expect to have such a big surprise, but it seems that the matter is not over yet.

Chai Xiaogao seemed to be competing with that woman, and the two of them shouted the price to 500 million.

Seeing that beauty leave the table angrily, 500 million should be the final price.

The transaction at such a high price caused an uproar among the people present.

Chen Wei began to realize that Chai Xiaogao was determined to win, and he still didn't blush even after reaching 500 million. Could there be something going on here?
Just like when he and Ruan Yu competed for the jade plaque back then, only they knew the value of the jade plaque. Did Chai Xiaogao know something that others didn't know.

When the auction ended, Chen Wei went to find Chai Xiaogao.

Chai Xiaogao came out from inside, holding an exquisite box in his hand, which was specially provided by the auction organizer.

Seeing that Chen Wei was waiting for him, Chai Xiaogao walked over with a smile.

"I saw you just now, are you here to take pictures too?"

"Unfortunately, nothing was photographed. You are the focus of the entire auction today! What's so special about this thing? Is it so valuable?"

Chai Xiaogao already knew that the real owner of this jade hollow dragon pattern ring was Chen Wei, and he didn't tell the truth. Chen Wei must have come to know why he wanted this antique at such a high price.

"Actually, it's nothing. My dad likes to collect. I saw it in the auction album a few days ago, so he asked me to come and take pictures. If someone didn't get in the way, I'm afraid it wouldn't cost so much money."

"The starting price is only 600 million. Don't you feel that you are at a disadvantage when you bid such a high price?" Chen Wei continued to test.

"To tell you the truth, there is an identical one in our family." Chai Xiaogao said, lowered his voice, and came over: "There is a secret here, not many people know about it."

"What secret?"

Chai Xiaogao pretended to be mysterious and said: "I don't know the details, I have to ask my dad."

"Could it be that this kind of antiques will be more valuable if they are made into a pair?" Chen Wei remembered that Cheng Zhenghai said before that there used to be a collector who bought a pair of jade at a sky-high price. In front of him, he smashed one of them, and said that from now on, it will be unique in the world, an orphan, and its value has doubled.

Did Chai Xiaogao want to do the same when he photographed this?

If Chai Xiaogao knew that he had another one that was exactly the same, would he be willing to pay a high price to buy it?
"It should be! If you are interested, you can go with me and ask my dad!"
