Chapter 525 Complicated Warring States Puppets

"I heard that there are quite a few antiques this time, so I'll come and have a look!" He Jie replied softly, with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were still looking at Li Yang.

Wang Feng also smiled, and did not continue to ask.

He guessed a little about why He Jie came to Li Yang. The old man's birthday is coming soon. Apart from the rubbings that I took away in advance last time, He Jie has not found a suitable gift yet.During this period of time, he was also a little anxious, and he wanted to find another suitable gift so that it would be a birthday gift when the time came.

He Jie's arrival was similar to Li Yang's guess. He only found out about this auction today, and he did not participate in such auctions a long time ago.

However, thinking of the 'imperial decree' criticized by the old man today, he was a little unwilling, so he thought of asking Li Yang to come and see if he could find something better to go back.

After learning that Li Yang had promised Wang Feng to come here, He Jie immediately decided to follow him.

More and more people came into the venue, Li Yang could only suppress his curiosity and wait quietly.

There were a lot of people sitting on each table. Some familiar people sat together and chatted in a low voice. Will not let go.

"Li Yang, when are you going to Myanmar?"

He Jie asked Li Yang in a low voice, both Wang Feng and Wu Du looked back at Li Yang, they didn't know that Li Yang was going to Burma.

"Let's just go for a few days, and go after all the things at home are done!" Li Yang replied after thinking for a while.

Sandara did not urge Li Yang, but Sandara meant that the sooner the better, seeing that the Burmese public offering is about to be held, if the new mining source cannot be determined after the Burmese public offering is over, their family really has to do the best. Bad plan.

He Jie nodded, and then said: "It's no different than in China, so please pay attention to your own safety. I can't accompany you this time. If you need it, I can let Gao Feng follow you!"

"No need, Brother Jie, I didn't go there to fight a war, it's enough to have Liu Gang and Zhao Yong around!"

While Li Yang was talking, several people walked in from outside the corridor. The person in the front was pushing a row of carts, and Mr. Sun also walked in, and someone closed the door immediately after he entered.

The voices inside immediately decreased a lot, and today's auction is about to start.

The others are regular visitors here, even He Jie has been here once or twice before, only Li Yang is here for the first time, watching a young man walk to the empty seat in the center of the hall, his face still looks a bit dazed.

"Bosses, ladies and gentlemen, today's auction is now officially started. This time there are 69 items in the auction, and now we are offering the first auction item!"

The young man's opening remarks were extremely simple. As soon as he finished speaking, someone came forward pushing a small cart. There was still a piece of yellow cloth on the small cart. When he reached the middle, the young man took off the yellow cloth on it.

Under the yellow cloth is a blue and white celestial ball vase, Li Yang's eyes lit up slightly when he saw this celestial ball vase, this celestial ball vase looks very good, the old object that opened the door should be official kiln porcelain from the Kangxi period.

Li Yang activated his special ability, then nodded silently, this item is indeed a fine product of the Kangxi official kiln, the market value is not low, and it is a sought-after item at any auction.

"Auction No. [-] is the Kangxi Official Kiln Celestial Ball Vase. It has an authentication certificate issued by the Bureau of Cultural Relics. There is no reserve price for auction No. [-]. Now the auction officially begins!"

After uncovering the yellow cloth, the young man didn't talk nonsense, and immediately announced the start of the auction. As soon as his words fell, someone quoted a price of 80 yuan, and soon several people participated in the bidding. Not long after this The Tianqiu bottle rose to [-].

"Li Yang, how about this bottle?"

Wang Feng turned his head and asked Li Yang, he invited Li Yang to come over, he wanted Li Yang to help him comment on the pros and cons of these antiques in this auction, and select some of them to be photographed.

"It's pretty good, it's a fine product of Kangxi official kiln!" Li Yang nodded, with a little doubt on his face, he kept thinking about where he saw this bottle before, but he just couldn't remember it.

"Exquisite, is it an orphan, and how much is it in existence?" Wang Feng's eyes lit up a little, and he asked again.

"It's not an isolated product. There are still some bottles of this kind in existence. There are probably twenty or thirty pieces of this kind of patterned celestial bottle in the world. There are several large museums in China, such as Taiwan and the United Kingdom. There are too!"

Li Yang explained in a low voice, Wang Feng's eyes dimmed when he heard that it was not an orphan, and he completely lost interest in this bottle.

Soon, the bottle was sold at a price of 220 million. The bidder for this bottle was a middle-aged man in his 50s. After bidding the bottle, his staff handed him a number plate with a label of No. [-], waiting for the auction After the end of the unified payment to take away the auction items.

Immediately after the first auction, the second auction item was pushed over. It was also a fine blue and white porcelain, this time it was a blue and white amphora from the Ming Dynasty.

This piece of porcelain was also auctioned with no reserve price. He Jie looked at it carefully, then shook his head. Wang Feng didn't ask Li Yang this time.

This piece of porcelain doesn’t look as good as the celestial vase just now. Wang Feng is mainly looking for an antique with a beautiful appearance and an orphan. Does not meet his requirements.

After the two auction items, Li Yang looked even more puzzled. The transaction prices of these two auction items were much lower than those outside.

If these two items are brought to their auction, at least [-]% to [-]% of the price can be sold, and they are definitely good items that will not pass the auction. If they are replaced by a larger company, they may be auctioned Higher prices to come.

"Auction No. [-] is a set of puppets from the Warring States Period. There is no reserve price. Bidding starts now!"

The young man uncovered another piece of yellow cloth. His auction method is very simple, but it saves time.There are 69 items to be auctioned tonight. If each item is introduced in detail, the auction may not be finished by early morning.

Under the yellow cloth, a set of [-] puppet figurines were exposed. The figurines were carved lifelike. Each puppet had a different posture, and their expressions were all smiling. Unfortunately, some paint peeled off from them affected them. appearance.

These small people are not big, each about ten centimeters high, and there is a wooden tray under them, and the little people are fixed in the card slots of the tray.

As soon as these villains appeared, both Li Yang and Wang Jiajia's attention were attracted. Wang Jiajia was looking at these puppets for fun, while Li Yang paid attention to the puppet carvers.

The puppet carvings are very sophisticated. These small puppets do not have any fancy decorations, nor do they have those complicated and exquisite knife techniques, but they look simple and natural.

This set of puppets is definitely a masterwork. There were many masters of jade carving in the Warring States period, but masters of wood carving were rare. It was a surprise to see such a set of fine works of Li Yang.

"One hundred thousand!"

"15 million!"

"18 million!"

The bidding sounded, and He Jie and Wang Feng's faces were lacking in energy. They didn't have any interest in such a set of toy-like puppet figures.

Li Yang slowly opened up his special ability. What he can see with his eyes is limited, and it is far less intuitive than using a three-dimensional way to observe with special abilities.

After the screen opened, Li Yang's opened mouth suddenly became much bigger, and it remained closed for a long time.

In the picture, each puppet looks so natural, but this is not the reason why Li Yang is surprised. There are different black metal wires in each puppet, and there are dozens of them in each puppet.

What surprised Li Yang even more was that these puppet figures were not carved from a single piece of wood, but were actually small pieces of wood that were separated inside. These small pieces of wood were different in size and were tightly linked together by these black metal wires.

Buying a puppet is divided into different categories. Depending on the shape, their bodies are probably composed of small wooden blocks ranging from 60 to [-] yuan.

The tray under the puppet is more complicated. A wooden tray that looks very inconspicuous on the surface has hundreds of different small card slots inside. The tray is also composed of wooden blocks. Compared with the puppet, these wooden blocks Slightly larger, the entire pallet is probably composed of hundreds of these small wooden blocks.

In the middle of the tray, there are also a lot of black metal wires, and these metal wires are still tightly connected with the puppets.

Li Yang was most surprised that there were so many complicated things in a small set of puppets.What shocked Li Yang the most was that when he saw the inside of this set of puppets, it was like looking at a trick box, even more complicated than the trick box gave him.

"30 million for the second time..."

Li Yang suddenly woke up, stretched out his hand in a hurry, and shouted without thinking, "33!"

This set of Warring States puppets is not simple. After seeing the complicated and mysterious structures inside, Li Yang has only one thought in his heart, that is, buy it, and then talk about it. Only after buying it can he have the opportunity to go back and continue to study.

Wang Feng sat up straight, turned his head and looked at Li Yang in surprise, He Jie also looked at Li Yang, with an unknown light in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"33 million for the first time..."

The young man standing in the center also showed a bit of surprise on his face. After a while of silence, he immediately started his work again. If no one continued to increase the price, he had to confirm the ownership of this auction item.

"33 for the third time, it's sold, and the next thing to be auctioned is auction item No. [-]..."

The young man then opened another small trolley, and a staff member came over and respectfully handed Li Yang a number plate with a '3' written on the front and the price just written on the back , 33 RMB.

In terms of the value of cultural relics alone, the value of wood carvings in the Warring States Period is not too high, usually only tens of thousands of dollars on the market.

However, this set of puppets is beautifully made. Although the paint on the surface has peeled off, it does not affect the integrity of the whole. In addition, it is a complete set of works, so it still has a certain value.

In the auction company outside, this set of puppets may fetch a high price of 50 yuan, and Li Yang's 33 yuan is not too high.

………………

The order is reversed, and the mistakes are corrected.
