Chapter 44 Ancient Jade Master

"Okay! Mr. Luo bid [-] yuan. Is there anyone else who bid? If you are interested, please bid!" The mouse yelled again.

With his yelling, the old boss became even more impatient: "Mouse, what are you talking about, hurry up, there is a meal at noon!"

In fact, when this old man saw Mr. Luo's bid, he also wanted to bid with Mr. Yin Luo. In the previous auction, the two of them were often rivals. Mr. Luo was snatched away, so how can he not be jealous of the other party, but in this black market, he has already taken a lot of money, and the cash is almost used up, so he can only give up.

"Okay! Then this Pisces Celebration Jade Pendant..."

Just as the mouse was about to announce that it would take the jade pendant to Mr. Luo, another voice suddenly came over: "Wait a minute, I'll bid thirty-five thousand!"

The audience was suddenly silent, and then they all looked around. This time, it was naturally Chen Ran who called for the price. Everyone was not surprised when they saw that it was Chen Ran. After all, just now Chen Ran said he was interested. , and only Chen Ran came to the stage to observe, just feeling that this young man can really bear it.

The one who regretted the most in the audience was probably the mouse. Mr. Luo shouted the price. He didn’t regret it that much. Chen Ran’s opening made him regret it even more. At the same time, his spirit was shaken: “Okay! The price is thirty-five thousand, is there any price increase?"

Of course, the mouse yelled at Mr. Luo.

Everyone also looked at Mr. Luo, but Mr. Luo turned a blind eye to everyone's gaze, and just teased the younger sister who was sitting on his lap, but the younger sister looked towards Chen Ran, and even cast a wink at Chen Ran.

Before everyone noticed, Mr. Luo suddenly raised his head: "Forty thousand!"

Chen Ran's heart suddenly sank. Looking at this posture, this Mr. Luo seems to be sure to win, but no matter how sure the other party is, he has to accompany him to shout. He can only hope that the other party has photographed so many objects. Now I'm running out of cash.

With this in mind, Chen Ran casually looked at Yan Ruyu. During this trip to the black market, he had no intention of making a move at all, and he didn't even bring any cash with him. Now, if he wants to continue the filming, he needs Yan Ruyu's support.

Yan Ruyu had been looking at Chen Ran, noticed Chen Ran's gaze, and nodded without hesitation.

"One hundred thousand!"

After Mr. Luo shouted the price, everyone looked at Chen Ran again, but Chen Ran remained silent, as if hesitating, just when everyone thought Chen Ran would give up, the silent Chen Ran suddenly spoke.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Ran didn't ask the price without asking the price, and once he asked the price, he directly raised the price from [-] to [-].

When auctioning things, asking prices is a technical task. Sometimes you have to take your time, and sometimes you have to be more ruthless. It all depends on the situation. For example, sometimes it is very taboo to increase the price little by little.

Don't think that you won't pay more when you increase the price little by little. In many cases, it is better to save money directly than to increase the price little by little.

First of all, if you are ruthless, you may be able to scare the other party away. No one bids with you. When the auction is finally completed, you will naturally save money. If you don’t want to pay more, the fear is that someone will bid. The price increase at one point involves a person's psychological problems.

You raise the price by five hundred, and everyone doesn't care about the five hundred. They all think in their hearts that it is only five hundred, and then they keep following, and directly offer a hard price, which will scare away many people immediately. A lot of money.

And now what Chen Ran is betting on is how much Mr. Luo is willing to spend for the sister sitting on his lap. If Chen Ran adds [-], Mr. Luo will definitely not care. If you directly mention [-], it depends on Luo Mr. Willing or not.

Sure enough, Chen Ran suddenly raised the price to [-], and Mr. Luo immediately hesitated.

To him, the college student sitting on his lap was just for fun. Although he spent a lot of money when he bought antiques, the money was spent by himself, no matter how much he spent, he would not be reluctant.

And this jade pendant had already been agreed to be given to the sister sitting on his lap, and he was reluctant to spend [-] to [-] yuan for her, but now that he spent so much money all at once, he immediately felt a little bit pained.

"Mr. Luo, this friend simply raised the price from the [-] you asked for to [-]. Do you want to keep shouting?" Seeing that Mr. Luo hadn't spoken for a long time, the mouse started yelling again. This is a bit poisonous. Chen Ran raised the price to [-], so it would be [-]. He just said "Your name is [-]", as if Chen Ran robbed Mr. Luo... Mr. Luo waved his hand , was about to give up, but the younger sister who was sitting on his lap suddenly pressed his raised hand, turned over, and entangled Mr. Luo like a spider, and said coquettishly: "Husband, give me a hand!" Buy it, I want that jade pendant..."

The loud voice made the men present involuntarily stare fiercely at her buttocks which were pouted like a cat.

Mr. Luo felt headache and soft hearted by his younger sister's coquetry. He hesitated for a while, and finally raised his head and shouted: "11!"

"11! This friend, Mr. Luo has already bid 11, how much more are you going to add?" As soon as Mr. Luo's words fell, the mouse shouted at Chen Ran, the meaning was obvious, you can continue to shout, Shout out loud, the louder the better.

Sure enough, Chen Ran did not hesitate this time. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "15!" After shouting, he sat down without looking at Mr. Luo. The meaning was obvious. Just take it.

When it was 15, Mr. Luo was in pain. Now that it is 12, he is even more in pain. If Chen Ran increases to [-], he will hesitate to add a little more, but now he hardly thinks about it. No matter what you think, you just decide to give up.

And the younger sister sitting on his lap seemed to have seen his thoughts, and immediately pestered him and acted like a baby. Mr. Luo coaxed and coaxed, but the younger sister refused to agree, and still pestered Mr. Luo to act like a baby. The husband was so angry that he slapped his sister's face with a slap: "Damn it, it's not worth 15 if you sell you!"

Mr. Luo lost his temper, but my sister dared not say anything, and immediately stopped asking for the jade pendant, and quickly got up to please Mr. Luo.

Seeing this scene, the mouse stopped yelling at Mr. Luo, and he was not disappointed. On the contrary, he was very happy. He thought that this jade pendant would fail the auction, but unexpectedly, it was sold at a price of 15 yuan. It really gave him a big surprise, and other things also sold for a high price. Just this one time, it made his pockets bulge, how could he not be unhappy.

"Congratulations to my friend, the last item in today's auction, the Pisces Qingfeng Jade Pendant, belongs to you!"

At this time, Chen Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it cost him 15 all of a sudden, it was quite painful, but in order to find out what happened to his body and the circle of energy fluctuations that appeared in front of him If he has any influence or benefit, he has to spend money. After all, for him, the most important thing is the issue of special abilities. As long as there are special abilities, he will not worry about making money.

Next, Sister Ru found out 15 cash and gave it to the other party. The other party handed over the brocade box containing the Pisces Qingfeng jade pendant to Chen Ran.

"Today's auction is over, I hope to see you all at the next auction!"

The mouse made an announcement, and other anxious people who had been waiting for a long time jumped up immediately. There are rules in this black market auction, that is, you can't leave halfway, and generally it doesn't mean that the die-casting scene is at the end, usually it is in the middle, and at the end Some customers have no cash, so how can they bid? For example, the die-casting play in this black market auction is the Moyu birthday star.

When Chen Ran was waiting for the three of them to leave, the mouse handed Chen Ran a business card, and wrote down Chen Ran's phone number. The first time he was born and the second time he was acquainted. When he came to participate next time, Chen Ran would be considered a regular customer .

Of course, the next black market auction will basically not choose this place, and will definitely change to another place.

"Mr. Yan, I'm so sorry, you didn't take a photo, but let me spend the cash you brought!"

After sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Ran turned around to thank Yan Ruyu first, and then apologized. Although Yan Ruyu brought the cash, even if he didn't use it, he would bring it back in the end, but whether he needs it or not is his business. , You have to express yourself when you use it.

"fine!"

Yan Ruyu, who was observing the Pisces jade pendant, raised her head and smiled gently at Chen Ran: "In the past two years, I have seldom made a move in China, that is, I only make a move when I see something I like!"

While speaking, two charming dimples appeared on his face again, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "This jade pendant, are you going to make a move?"

"Get out?"

Yan Ruyu's words made Chen Ran stunned. He only spent 15 to buy it. Could it be that he transferred it out at a price of tens of thousands? Isn't this just looking for excitement... "Yes!" Yan Ruyu blinked. Blinking eyes: "If you want to sell, let me, I will give you a price of 25!"

"25?"

Chen Ran looked at Yan Ruyu in surprise, and Sister Ru, who was driving the car, couldn't help but glance back at the jade pendant on Yan Ruyu's lap, and then couldn't help but glance at Chen Ran.

She has no doubts about Yan Ruyu's eyesight at all. Since Yan Ruyu opened his mouth to accept it at a price of 25 yuan, it means that this jade pendant is worth the price, which made her look differently at Chen Ran. , Could it be that this kid really has a unique vision!

Nodding, Yan Ruyu looked at Chen Ran strangely, her eyes seemed to say, don't you know the value of this jade pendant, if you don't know, how could you buy it... "The material of the jade pendant is Hetian jade, the texture is It's just average, but it can be seen that it should be an ancient jade from the Han Dynasty, and the biggest highlight of the jade pendant is the carving method. You can see that although the knife skills on it are a little immature, they have formed their own style. I suspect that this jade pendant It is the work of a jade carving master!"

Yan Ruyu held the brocade box with one hand and pointed at the jade pendant with the other, letting Chen Ran take a look at the saber skills on it.

The carving of the jade pendant is very neat. Chen Ran already knew that it was Han jade, and Chen Ran also guessed it, but he couldn't tell that it was not the work of a jade carving master. It requires strong eyesight to distinguish it. Those who come out, at least have to see many works of those jade carving masters in history to distinguish their styles.

Obviously, Chen Ran saw very little ancient jade, almost none.

Yan Ruyu glanced at Chen Ran, guessing that Chen Ran only saw that this jade pendant was Han Yu and had good sword skills, and didn't see anything else. Although she only saw so much, she didn't underestimate Chen Ran. Those who play antiques are basically only proficient in one or two things. If they are proficient in everything, they are basically sloppy in everything. She thought that Chen Ran was only proficient in porcelain... One thing that puzzled her was that at that time Before Chen Ran saw the jade pendant, she seemed to have thought about taking a picture of it. Others didn't see this, but she observed it.

In fact, the reason why she didn't go up to observe at that time was because after she learned that Su Wenjie had partnered with the organizer, she was no longer interested in the black market this time, which was also the reason why she never made a move.

This doubt just flashed in her mind and disappeared without a trace, and then she said: "I guess this jade carving master should be the ancient jade master of the Han Dynasty!"

"Master Gu Yu?"

Although Chen Ran didn't know much about the styles of the works of the jade carving masters of the past dynasties, he still knew a little about the names and taboos of those jade carving masters, but he had never heard of the name of Gu Yu, the jade carving master.

Yan Ruyu smiled sweetly: "Master Wei Yi, you always know, right?"

"Of course I know!" Chen Ran also nodded with a smile. Although Master Wei Yi was not rated as a master of jade carving, he was quite well-known. Neither is very famous.

In the history of China, there have been three jade heydays. The first time was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then it was developed in the Han Dynasty. Second peak.Then Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty loved jade the most among emperors of all dynasties. At present, the most perfect jade carvings are called "Qianlong Gong" in the antique industry.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty admired jade very much, but he himself would not be a jade carver, and this Master Wei Yi was the leader of the jade carvers at that time. It is said that Master Wei Yi and the then general Wei Qing were also somewhat related, and this Wei Yi The reason why the master is so famous is that he is the soul of the Han Basao technique.

"Han Eight Swords" is a very distinctive technique among Chinese jade carving techniques, and is a product of the jade burial culture.With the decline of the jade burial culture, this technique was no longer used.

Some people say that Master Wei Yi is the founder of the Eight Swords of Han Dynasty, but there is no way to verify it. We only know that when the Eight Swords of Han Dynasty became famous, it was Master Wei Yi who passed it down.

Yan Ruyu smiled gracefully: "And this ancient jade is Master Wei Yi's mentor, but the works handed down by Master Gu Yu are extremely rare, only two pieces, and although the carvings of these two pieces are good, it seems They are all works of practicing pens in the early years, and one more point, there is no shadow of the Han Basao technique in Master Gu Yu's works, so Master Gu Yu is not famous!"

Hearing what Yan Ruyu said, Chen Ran also understood, that is to say, a mother is more valuable than a child, and the master became famous through his apprentices. If it weren't for the existence of Master Wei Yi, I am afraid that future generations would not know his name at all. .

After talking about the origin of the jade pendant, Yan Ruyu asked Chen Ran whether the jade pendant should be transferred or not.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that I am not tempted. It almost doubled in the second hand. Needless to say, the capital of 15 can make a net profit of [-]. It is like a white wolf with empty hands, but Chen Ran just thought about it That's all, how could he change hands, if he changed hands, he wouldn't buy it.

When entering the urban area, Chen Ran transferred the account to Yan Ruyu on the way. Generally speaking, the antique business does not accept credit, owes money, or borrows money. She was afraid of causing disputes, but Yan Ruyu did not refuse.

Although Chen Ran appeared calm on the surface along the way, in fact he was not at all calm in his heart.

After saying goodbye to Yan Ruyu downstairs, Chen Ran ran upstairs almost all the way, opened the door, and he plunged into the room...
