Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 496: Those who spend a lot of money on things are all people who make money easily
When leaving, Wu Yuansheng glanced towards Mr. Ma and found that the beautiful auctioneer in her 30s who was in charge of the auction was talking to him.

There were also a few other staff members standing there, and a handful of auction attendees who wanted to go over and chat with him.

However, they were quickly stopped, and Mr. Ma, the auctioneer and others left through the side door of the auction hall not long after.

Without staying any longer, he left the hall.

After gathering with Boss Wu, Boss Duan and Boss Liu, they went to have lunch.

He treated us to lunch again.

On the way, bosses Duan and Liu said that in the morning in the miscellaneous hall, they took a picture of a mahogany carved template with the Eight Immortals carved on it.

(I had never thought of buying it before, but I bought it because I was afraid that this trip would be in vain.)
The template is from the Qing Dynasty. Wu Yuansheng also saw it in the miscellaneous area yesterday. It is quite exquisite.

They said that this would be a good buy for making rubbings, so they raised their hands and participated in the auction.

There were not many people bidding with them at the time, and in the end they only spent 6 yuan.

Speaking of rubbings, he thought it was normal for them to buy this, after all, many things can be used for "rubbings".

6 yuan is considered a relatively cheap item for this auction.

Of course, if Wu Yuansheng were asked to spend 6 to buy such a wooden sign, he still would not buy it.

(In the morning auction, there were a few items that failed to sell.

There are so many different items on display at the auction that not all items can be sold.)
During the meal, Boss Wu sighed: "Comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away."

Although he runs an antique shop, he usually buys things for bargains, as he cannot afford most of the things here.

He said that looking at some of the people who came to participate in the event, buying famous paintings and calligraphy, spending millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, it seemed like it was just a piece of cake.

In response, Boss Zhou said that it was easy for them to make money and it didn't require much work.

If it is hard-earned money, let alone hundreds of thousands, you may not be willing to spend even a few thousand or a few hundred dollars.

Everyone thought Zhou Kaijun's analysis made sense.

Anyone who spends a lot of money on things, is it not someone who makes money easily?
At the same time, Wu Ming also said that those famous calligraphers and painters are not just painting or writing, they are clearly money-printing machines.

Drawing several paintings a day is no slower than printing money!

What he said also makes some sense.

After lunch, Boss Zhou and Boss Wu went back to the hotel with them to rest for a while.

In the afternoon, Wu Yuansheng did not watch in the porcelain auction hall, but went to the calligraphy and painting auction hall.

He had originally planned to look at the porcelain section, but since he wasn't going to buy anything, he decided to look at each of the four major categories.

Besides, he had already met Mr. Ma, so it would be difficult to tell the style when he met him now.

While watching the calligraphy and painting auction hall, he realized that the prices of some calligraphy and paintings are not necessarily more expensive the older they are, but it is related to the calligraphy and painting itself as well as the personal fame of the painter.

Among them is a work by contemporary oil painting hyper-realist painter Leng Jun. Although it is not very old, it is still very valuable.

This painting is of a woman and is very realistic.

If you take it outside and ask some ordinary people, they will definitely say that it was a photo taken with a camera or a camcorder.

Because this oil painting looks no different from one taken with a high-definition camera.

Wu Yuansheng personally likes hyper-realistic oil paintings. He thinks that is what "people or things" should look like.

Of course, people have different aesthetic perspectives, and everyone has his or her own vision.

This oil painting is not cheap, and its price is in the tens of millions.

Because it was Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Yuansheng had a long video chat with Yi Xiaoyue in the evening and told her about the collections he saw at the auction.

The next morning and afternoon, he visited the miscellaneous items and jade auction halls respectively.

In the Miscellaneous Hall, the price of the agarwood peace buckle I saw earlier was speculated to be over one million, and it was finally sold to a man for 110 million. The Jade Hall is a special auction for seals.

Boss Duan and Boss Liu both had items they liked, and Wu Yuansheng also followed them to watch the fun in the afternoon.

Among the seals they liked, three were beyond their budget and were bought by other people.

Two of them were favored by Boss Duan, one was a Tianhuang stone seal, and the other was a "quan"-shaped copper seal.

Their prices have been hyped up to over a million.

This made him whisper to Wu Yuansheng several times whether those who bought the stamps were idiots and had too much money to spend.

After all, in terms of the value of the item itself, 100 million is the highest it can go.

At present, many celebrity seals are worth only a few hundred thousand or a million yuan.

If you buy an authentic seal from certain websites, around 20 is the best price.

(If it is a fake or you are not satisfied, you can return it. After you are satisfied or confirm the authenticity, the website will act as an intermediary and pay the money to the seller.)
Since he can't buy anything, it's good for Boss Duan to vent his emotions.

Boss Liu did buy a seal, but there were few people competing with him for it, so he only spent 20 yuan to buy it.

The seal is a hibiscus quartz seal, and it is definitely not made by a famous artist. There must be only a limited number of famous people in ancient and modern times.

The finale seal is a Tianhuang stone seal carved by Qi Baishi for someone else.

Although it was not his own, the seal was still very valuable and was bought by someone for 260 million yuan.

After the auction ended, Boss Duan finally let go of the items he didn't buy.

Maybe it was just a spur of the moment decision, but many times, when you calm down and think about it, you feel that it is better to hold on to your money in such situations.

After all, they are businessmen. They need to buy things to maintain their value and also to make money. Although they have some savings over the years, it is all hard-earned money and money does not come easily.

In addition, those who come here to buy things are all collectors, not really looking for bargains. Those who really want to find bargains will not do so in this kind of bidding situation.

Just look at it and save a lot of money.

Wu Yuansheng personally feels that the items at the auction are very good and most of them are authentic.

Those are sold to rich people.

For ordinary people, it is only suitable to go and take a look and broaden their horizons.

Even if ordinary people have some money and want to invest and make money from it, they still have to consider it carefully.

If you like something, you don’t necessarily have to spend a lot of money to buy it, and you don’t necessarily have to own it.

Just take a few photos and save them to enjoy.

If you think the photo is too small, you can take it to a printing shop and have someone make it into a painting or calligraphy according to a certain proportion, and then frame it and hang it at home for you to enjoy.

In short, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to buy it. Money is always better than other things, and money is best in your hands.

Even if you like collecting, you should do it within your means.

As time goes by, people's understanding of collecting and the industry of antiques and artworks will become clearer and clearer.

No matter how good something is, it is just a thing. After all, it cannot be eaten. Apart from appreciation, it has little practical value.

The Mid-Autumn Auction was over, and he had no plans to go shopping in the antique city here.

After all, with the growing popularity of online purchases of collectibles, prices in various cities are basically the same.

The collections in those antique shops are not much different from those over there.

Boss Duan told Boss Liu that he would go back the next day. He also didn't plan to stay here any longer and planned to return tomorrow as well.

After dinner, before going to bed, he went to the nearby shopping mall and supermarket to buy some local specialties, children's toys and other items.
