Jianbao life

Chapter 519 Competition (Continued) (Thank you book friends for your reward)
Akita Changsuke nodded with a smile. As long as the auctioneer does not make such inexplicable actions just now, he believes that these ten oracle bones are likely to fall into his hands. He has two national treasure-level cultural relics in his hands, and his father-in-law will definitely look at him with admiration after returning to China.

Thinking of this, Akita Tsunesuke hastily raised the auction card in his hand: "Twenty-five million!"

The others did not expect that this time it was Akita Tsunesuke who made a sudden effort to quote a price that already exceeded the market value of the ten oracle bones.

"Twenty-six million!" There was an immediate response at the scene, and Chu Chen, who was sitting in the corner, raised the sign leisurely, and even added 600 million directly.

"Hmph!" Seeing that the price was quoted by Chu Chen who was sitting next to Zhao Qirui, Akita Changsuke snorted coldly, and then directly responded with a sign: "Twenty-seven million!"

At this time, everyone on the scene realized that today's buyers will be born among them.

"Twenty-six and a half million!"

"3000 million!"

"Thirty-one million!..."

When Chu Chen made the offer to 4000 million, there was warm applause at the scene.

Immediately, Akita Changsuke looked a little displeased, and planned to continue quoting, but his translator and assistant reminded him in his ear: "President, if the price we quote is too high, the Tianmu lamp behind You can't be sure!"

Hearing what the assistant said, Changsuke Akita's face immediately darkened. Although the oracle bone is important, if he had to choose between the two, he would definitely choose the more important Tianmu lamp. If he didn't take a picture of the Tianmu lamp in the end, That would mean failure for him, which made him have to be cautious when quoting.

So he held up a sign: "50 million!"

When Chu Chen saw the price quoted by Akita Changsuke, his mind was moved. It seemed that the other party's funds were almost ready, or it was because there was still Tianmu lamp behind him that made him afraid to use too much funds. This was obviously his own opportunity.

"Forty-one million!..."

Next, Akita Tsunesuke was no longer as confident as before. Every time he made an offer, he seemed a little hesitant, or bowed his head in thought, or rested his chin on one hand, appearing very distressed.And his assistant was nervously communicating with someone in the corner.

But Chu Chen sat there very leisurely, clenching the offer tightly, and doing so undoubtedly brought a lot of pressure to Akita Tsunesuke.

When Changsuke Akita reported 500 million, the audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to Chu Chen.

"Forty-one million!"

When Chu Chen reported this number, Changsuke Zhaotian looked up and sighed. If he followed up with the quotation, the remaining money would obviously not be enough to buy the Tianmu Zhan.

Although Akita Tsunesuke's assistant is still nervously contacting the funds, because Akita Tsunesuke didn't know that such a national treasure-level cultural relic would appear today, he didn't bring an appraiser here. Based on his one-sided words, even if he wants to get funds Support is not something that can be achieved in a short while.

Just after a moment of silence, before Tsunesuke Akita made any response, the auctioneer decisively struck the gavel.But at the moment before, Akita Changsuke's assistant rushed to his side anxiously, saying that he had already contacted the funds, but at this time the auctioneer had already dropped the gavel, and it was too late for him to bid again.

"Baga!" Akita Changsuke was so angry!He walked up to Mu Tianguang with his assistant, and said with an angry expression: "Mu Sheng, what's the matter with the auctioneer you chose, this happened twice, and I didn't even have time to bid, so the auctioneer just dropped the gavel, so it's still an auction." can you?"

Mu Tianguang frowned slightly when he heard the words. He admitted that it was indeed he who asked the auctioneer to quickly drop the hammer for the first time, but he who was clearly Akita Tsunesuke did not bid for so long. The auctioneer asked several times on the premise , the gavel just fell, it doesn't mean that everyone has to wait for him, right?

"Mr. Akita, I am very sorry that you didn't take pictures of what you like, but the time interval just now was too long, and it would be very rude to keep the other party waiting for too long, don't you think?" Mu Tianguang said tactfully.

In other words, this Akita Tsunesuke is not impulsive, it is only because of his anger that he missed two "National Treasures", he made such a reckless move. Si laughed and could only say bluntly: "Mu Sheng, I hope this will not happen again next time!"

Mu Tianguang quickly responded with a smile: "Okay, okay! I'll let the auctioneer pay more attention to this."
Now that the oracle bones and scriptures have fallen into Zhao Qirui's pocket, he doesn't have to be careful anymore. Even if Akita Changsuke doesn't mention it, he will let the auctioneer try to delay the time for the hammer to maximize his benefits.

At the same time, the staff delivered the ten oracle bones to Chu Chen.

After Chu Chen verified the authenticity, he signed the check directly, plus the commission payable by the buyer of 322 million, the actual transaction price was 4922 million HKD.

"It's really expensive!" Liu Sizhe couldn't help sighing as he watched Chu Chen sign the check.

Speaking of which, the transaction price is indeed more than half of the market value estimated by everyone.Originally, Zhao Qirui also estimated the price in this way, and for the sake of insurance, he also applied for a 7000 million HKD quota. He didn't expect that the price of the scriptures was beyond his expectation at the beginning, and it was so much higher.

So just to be on the safe side, he asked Chu Chen to help him bid in the second round, but unexpectedly he guessed it right.It's not that he can't borrow money from Chu Chen after taking pictures of the things, and he doesn't have any resentment about it, but now it's in a public place after all, if people see him asking his nephew to borrow money, it's his face Where to put it?

Chu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "After all, it is a national treasure, and it is priceless in terms of its research value. Therefore, the transaction price of these oracle bones is not very expensive. Besides, we will never see the situation like just now. Do you have to let that little dwarf succeed?"

"Achen is right. Sometimes we have to fight, and you can rest assured that the purchase of these oracle bones and scriptures has been supported by the state, and it has not exceeded the psychological price given in advance. After returning to Beijing, it will definitely There is compensation." Zhao Qirui explained with a smile.

Everyone was very happy to hear Zhao Qirui's statement, and Chu Chen didn't care about it. People should do something and not do something, and they should do what they can for their motherland. Of course, if you can do it without spending money, then definitely is better.

Next, the auctioneer took another three auctions, but because they were all the items with the lowest value in the auction, and because they were affected by the first two auctions, the scene has not been tepid.

"The following lot is a fine product collected by Mr. Mu in his early years, but before introducing this lot, I have to announce a decision on behalf of Mr. Mu. 50.00% of the handling fee from the auction tonight will be donated to The Hope Project is specially used to build schools for impoverished mountainous areas in the interior, so that they can receive better education!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there was warm applause at the scene.

At this time, a staff member had already put the lot on the table, and Chu Chen took a closer look, but it was an azure-style bottle. The azure-colored glaze made him stunned.

Cong-style bottles first appeared in the Song Dynasty, and it is generally believed that they were created and fired in the Southern Song Dynasty. As for whether the Cong-style bottles were produced in the Northern Song Dynasty, there is still disagreement.The style of imitating the ancients prevailed in the Song Dynasty, and this bottle type was changed by imitating the shape of the jade cong of the Liangzhu culture in the Neolithic Age.Both the official kilns and Longquan kilns in the Southern Song Dynasty had this shape.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on the lot, the auctioneer pointed to the cong-shaped bottle and introduced it to everyone:
"Someone must have guessed the origin of this cong-shaped vase, yes! Just as everyone thought, this cong-shaped vase is exactly the sky blue glazed cong-shaped vase fired by Ru Kiln in the Song Dynasty!"

"This cong-shaped bottle is 21 centimeters high. It is regular in shape, simple and simple, and naturally old-fashioned. The glaze is tightly combined, and there are five needle marks at the bottom, revealing the off-white body, and the whole vessel is beautiful and smooth."

"In addition, this bottle has authentication certificates issued by many well-known experts, which can guarantee that it is genuine. If the buyer finds out that this cong-shaped bottle is a fake, as long as it meets the requirements, it can return the product."

The auctioneer explained it in detail, and the fact that the goods can be returned made many people below very interested.What is the most frightening thing about buying antiques? Isn’t it the fear of buying fakes? Now that Mu Tianguang guarantees it, even the guests who had no idea about it before are interested.

The auctioneer paused for a moment, and then said: "The starting price for a Ru kiln sky blue glazed cong-shaped vase in Song Dynasty is 300 million yuan, and each bid must not be less than [-] yuan!"

"500 million!" As soon as the words fell, a man in his 50s raised the sign in his hand.

"600 million!……"

Looking at the rising quotations, Chu Chen felt very emotional. It is impossible to say that this Cong-style bottle is not interested, but because he only handled a quota of 6000 million HKD this time, including the previous one in Xiangjiang The expenses and the auction fee just paid, there is not much money left.

"Achen, would you like to take a picture of this cong-shaped bottle for you?" Zhao Qirui asked.

"No need!" Chu Chen shook his head: "Now I have Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, and Jun, and it would be nice to add another cong-style bottle from Ru kiln, but if it costs too much, it is really unnecessary. "

Zhao Qirui immediately understood what Chu Chen meant. After all, this was an auction, and it was attended by a group of wealthy people. With Mu Tianguang's guarantee of authenticity, the final transaction price of this cong-shaped bottle is likely to greatly exceed the market price. Value, in this way, it is not attractive to Chu Chen, which is also a normal thing.

And the transaction price of this cong-shaped bottle is indeed what they thought, as high as 880 million. You know, judging from the appearance of this cong-shaped bottle, the current market value is only 1000 to 120 million at most. The price of Xiangjiang is one level higher than that of the mainland, which is only [-] million more.

The price of 880 million was not only beyond Chu Chen's expectation, but even Mu Tianguang was also surprised.

The reason for this price is also because Akita Tsunesuke may have been very resentful due to the previous two losses, which made him keep raising the price crazily. Just when everyone thought he was bound to win, he suddenly died down.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the performance of Akita Tsunesuke. He deliberately raised the price, which made the bottle owner hate him so much.

However, for Mu Tianguang, Akita Changsuke's behavior was a great help to him. At first, he thought that 500 million yuan was not bad, but now it is not only 380 million more, but also hundreds of thousands more in commission. The reason why he still needs a commission for his own things is very simple, I am the master of my territory!

Just as Mu Tianguang happily accepted the money, there was a voice of dissatisfaction at the scene: "I said Mr. Mu, this item of yours is a bit too ridiculous. You want 1 yuan for such a quality material. I will give as much as you want, and the starting price is 5 yuan, you think we are being taken advantage of!"

Mu Tianguang looked back and found that the speaker was a jewelry merchant surnamed Wang from Lingnan. Although this boss Wang mainly made gold jewelry, he also had some experience in emerald jewelry, so he had some understanding of the price of wool.
