Chapter 1053 History
"160 million!"

"Congratulations, Boss Huang, this Great Inner Seal is yours."

"The following is Tang Bohu's handwriting. Everyone knows that Tang Bohu, one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, has outstanding talent and superb painting skills. In fact, his handwriting is also quite good. Although his reputation is not as good as painting, but because of this, the handwriting that has been handed down is very good. It is rare, and it is even more rare to preserve it so completely, the starting price is 50." said the master of ceremonies.

"60."

"80."

"120."

……

Tang Bohu, no one knows, no one knows, his paintings are more than tens of millions, and not necessarily anyone is willing to sell, it is rare to have an authentic work, although it is a calligraphy, but everyone is unwilling to miss it.People evolve from low level to high level. When they have no money, they want to be rich. When they have money, they want status. When they have status, they want fame. Otherwise, there would not be so many upstarts.

Knowledge and culture are the best ways to raise expectations. As a rich person, if you don’t hang a pair of calligraphy and painting at home, you will feel inferior when chatting and bragging. This is why the richer you are, the more you value self-cultivation. The reason for this is to look up and look after, not only for the respect and admiration of outsiders, but also for the sublimation of the heart.

Calligraphy and painting are easy to get, but authentic works are hard to find, which is why the prices of calligraphy and painting in the market continue to rise. Of course, the fuel of speculators cannot be ignored.

In the end, Tang Bohu's calligraphy was sold at a price of 320 million.

The third item is a jade board. It is said that Lu Zigang used it to protect his hands when he was carving. Qin Zhou has vaguely heard of this name. a little less.

The fourth item in the auction is a set of tea sets, Mao Porcelain, which many people may not have heard of. Mao Porcelain is a batch of porcelain made by the best craftsmen in China during the Communist period. Each piece has a number on it. It was used for Zhongnanhai, but it changed later. After the porcelain was fired, only the first batch was sent to Zhongnanhai, and the rest were destroyed on the spot. As a result, although this batch of porcelain was very young, because of its commemorative significance and high firing level, Therefore the price is also very expensive.

In the end, the transaction price of this set of tea sets reached an astonishing 580 million yuan, setting off a climax since the opening.The auction is going on very quickly, because they are all people who know the basics. Generally, when they see someone they like, others will give up consciously, so there will be no red-faced situation.

A dozen or so items came out, and the transaction amount quickly exceeded 4000 million. Qin Zhou was an eye-opener. Porcelain, calligraphy and painting, bamboo and bone carvings, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, all seemingly insignificant things have a great background , It seems that the black ink lake has a transaction price of 360 million, which is worth more than gold. There is also a piece of withered and yellow characters. The manuscript written by Li Qingzhao when he was enlightened is similar to the "San Zi Jing", which adds up to less than 62 characters. , It was sold at a price of [-] yuan, which is simply worth a word.

"Where did they get so many antiques?" Qin Zhou wondered.

"I thought you wouldn't ask." Elder Brother Linghu laughed, and then told Qin Zhou about the origin of the auction.

Since ancient times, black and white have been opposed and intertwined. There is me in you, and you in me. Where there is sunshine, there will always be shadows.Corrupt officials, tomb robbery, customs smuggling, etc., many things have been confiscated by the state, but confiscation is a matter of one sentence, and how to deal with it has caused a lot of controversy.

If it is a national treasure or something that the country needs, it can be directly handed over to the national treasury, which is easy to deal with, but some things are not of high value, such as cars, such as mobile phones, which occupy space and will depreciate over time. No one cared about it. Over time, things became more and more, and finally became a burden.

At this time, someone proposed to auction off unnecessary and low-value things and turn waste into treasure. This idea was unanimously agreed by everyone. At the beginning, the state presided over the auction. Seniors, go to the treasury to collect goods, buy and sell privately, as long as they give money, the treasury will turn a blind eye. These powerful people have beekeeping clubs.

The things smuggled, ransacked, and confiscated are immediately legalized after such an auction. The site is monitored by state staff, and a receipt will be issued for each item. The things are legal and authentic. The important thing is that the price of this internal auction is far from The price is lower than the regular auction price, and over time, the auction has become a kind of welfare for club members.

Of course, the club is also very good at life. When buying goods from the national treasury, the price is a lot, which will not embarrass the national treasury. All doing charity, the club has gained a good reputation and benefits, and at the same time helped the country solve its troubles, everyone is happy.

"It's that simple? Haven't there been any troubles?" Qin Zhou didn't believe that things worth hundreds of millions would just come in and out like this, without any corruption.

"There was a big mess." Eldest brother Linghu gave a thumbs up, secretly praising Qin Zhou for his deep understanding of problems.

"That was when the second master was in charge of the club. At that time, the second master was still young and energetic. One item from the treasury came out with 2 yuan, and it became 200 million as soon as it changed hands. Even if half of it was donated to charity, there is still 100 million, this kind of huge profit has made many people envious. In fact, it is nothing to send money to the national treasury. Anyway, the national treasury is also processed at a low price. Whoever sells it is not for sale. The real trouble is that one of the members secretly cooperates with a group of tomb robbers Well, the things dug out of the ground become legal as soon as they change hands at the auction. The ground is full of good things, priceless. After playing with them a few times, nothing went wrong. These people are getting more and more courageous , and finally got a big bronze tripod from somewhere—"

"Bronze cauldron?" Qin Zhou was taken aback, "It's a national treasure, and the state prohibits buying and selling."

"Exactly, but at that time, these people were very courageous and not afraid at all. After the bronze tripod came to power, it caused a sensation. Some people were timid and did not dare to participate, but there were more bold people. In the end, the bronze cauldron The cauldron has been taken down." Senior Brother Linghu's tone was full of admiration, as if it was a feat.

"How much did you get?" Qin Zhou interjected, because there seems to be no record of auctioning a bronze tripod in China.

"500."

"It's only 500 million, isn't it less?" Qin Zhou asked in puzzlement, the small Xuande furnace can easily reach tens of millions, and the bronze cauldron is quite a lot, and it also bears the name of a national treasure.

"The bronze cauldron is naturally more than 500 million, but someone bids, and others dare not fight." Senior Brother Linghu said.

"Who?" Qin Zhou couldn't help asking, the beekeeping club is full of people with great status, and they even want to overwhelm the crowd?
"Prince Prince."

"Damn!" Qin Zhou understood, the son of the No. [-] chief, no wonder no one dared to fight.This identity is indeed unstoppable, "What happened later?"

"The prince happily brought the big bronze cauldron home. He was almost beaten to death by that one that night, and was tied to XJ the next day." Eldest brother Linghu said.

"What are you going to XJ for?" Qin Zhou couldn't help asking.

"Planting trees, I planted trees for three years, one tree a day, and more than 1000 trees before I came back." Senior Brother Linghu had a smirk on his face, "Later, some were blown by the wind, and some were sunburned to death. , I got sick and died, and there are more than 1000 trees, and it seems that dozens of them are still alive, so it’s not in vain.”

"What happened next?" Qin Zhou asked.

"What happened later was easy. The bronze tripod was naturally sent to the museum. In the Palace Museum, if you want to see it, I will take you there. I have visited it several times." Eldest brother Linghu said gloatingly in his tone.

"Let's talk about the key points." Qin Zhou despised this guy very much, he must be jealous that he hadn't done such a feat.

"That one got angry, and the people below naturally knew what to do. Almost half of the people in the club were arrested and educated in a cell for more than half a year before they came out. Those tomb robbers were miserable, and they didn't even have the qualifications for a cell. , It seems that he was assigned to mine somewhere, and the second master was also educated severely, so he had to give up the beekeeping club and retreat behind the scenes. After that, because many people pleaded for mercy, this matter was settled. Beekeeping The club was not wiped out, thanks to that one who has a good temper." Brother Linghu was a little regretful, if that tiger stared at him, it would probably only be called the Cat Raising Club now.

Qin Zhou secretly sighed, it's good to have a relationship. Tomb robbers are certainly wrong, but if they have a relationship, they don't need to dig mines. However, mining is a job after all, and it's better than blacksmithing.It is also a professional counterpart.

"Master Qin doesn't like these things?"

Qin Zhou turned his head and saw Feng Zhi entered the table beside him at some point, and looked at him with a smile. This sentence seemed to have no special meaning, but the eyes of several people nearby flickered.

People are often involuntary. For example, now, you don’t do charity because you want to do charity. It’s just that everyone has done it, and you have to do it too. Otherwise, you will be a maverick and you will be rejected by others.Most of the people nearby took one or two items, but Qin Zhou had nothing in front of him, which was nothing at all, after all, the auction was not over yet, but being pointed out by Feng Zhi like this had a different meaning .

Brother Linghu's expression changed, and he was about to get angry. He was afraid of Li Chengming, but he was not afraid of Fengzhi.Qin Zhou smiled lightly, "Didn't Young Master Feng hear that the best things are in the back?"

"I'm actually impatient, but I'm just worried that Young Master Qin will come here for the first time, and I'm afraid that the things I prepared won't suit my taste. As the host, I'll be very ashamed." Feng Zhi said sincerely.

"Whether something suits my taste or not is not important to me." Qin Zhou said indifferently: "My Qinwang Group has been doing charity for about 80 billion yuan. I didn't take a single needle."

"Young Master Qin is indeed benevolent and righteous, which is admirable." Feng Zhi's expression changed, and he smiled a little forcedly.
