The car driven by the young man was driving fast, while Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai ate some food to fill their stomachs, while happily chatting about antiques. He who was familiar with it suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Qiao Qingtai frowned and said, "I said, go to the place mentioned on the note, it seems that you don't need to go from here?"

The young man quickly laughed and said, "The address mentioned above is actually wrong. Only we know the real place. Hehe, please rest assured that there will be no problems in terms of safety. It's just me with thin arms and legs. I can't beat you either!"

Chu Chen said with a blank face: "There is still a word in this world called 'companion'."

The young man laughed: "Boss, you are joking. The reputation in our business is the most important thing. I will not make fun of my own money. Of course, if you feel really worried, I can send you back to the hotel."

After all, this is a black market auction, and it is normal to be cautious. In addition, Chu Chen and the others did not find any problems with the young man, and Qiao Qingtai's task has not yet been completed, so of course he will not retreat now and return to the hotel now. .

In fact, for the young man, of course he would not want Chu Chen and the others to return to the hotel now, otherwise his commission would be forfeited.Therefore, he tried to be as serious as possible while driving, so as not to scare Chu Chen and the others away.

The car turned around and came to a small manor behind the woods, but even though it was a manor, let alone Chu Chen's courtyard, it was even smaller than his villa.

The manor is surrounded by wooden fences, and near the middle of the manor are several small buildings in the style of Xiazhou folk houses, which look antique and have a special flavor.

After getting out of the car, Chu Chen thought of a question, how to pay after the bid is successful.

So, he asked the young man, "Will you have to pay in cash later?"

"Of course it's impossible." The young man laughed: "The things in our night market are not comparable to the things in the auction just now, let alone a few million, some national treasure-level cultural relics have sold for tens of millions There are all of them. No matter what, it’s impossible to pay in cash!”

"You still have national treasure-level cultural relics here?" Chu Chen looked a little surprised.

"Of course." The young man looked a little proud: "Our big boss is very capable, and he can basically get anything. Of course, such national treasure-level cultural relics do not appear many times at auctions. One or two."

Speaking of this, the young man looked around, and said to Chu Chen and the others furtively: "I have a piece of news for you, today is the birthday of our big boss, and the finale of this auction is a cultural relic of the national treasure level. You If you are interested, you must seize the opportunity, otherwise you don’t know when you will wait.”

Chu Chen's eyes lit up, then his expression turned cold again, and he asked lightly, "Then if I take a picture of this national treasure, will it be safe?"

The young man said with a smile: "We can't guarantee the safety of you after you buy it back. But here, there will definitely be no problems, and we have strict confidentiality measures and will not disclose any buyer's information. Even if you If you buy that national treasure, no outsider will know your information."

"Then don't you know?" Chu Chen chuckled.

"Boss, you're joking. I have seniors and juniors, and I don't know how to do such things." The young man waved his hands quickly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen and the others understood what was going on without asking any further questions.

Next, the three of them followed the young man to the door of a residential building in the middle. During this period, Chu Chen discovered that the surrounding security measures were much stricter than before, and there were omnidirectional cameras placed in some seemingly inconspicuous locations.

Chu Chen and the others passed through a series of inspections by the guards at the gate, which were not inferior to those at the airport. Done.

The three of them walked into the house and saw that there were already people drinking tea and chatting there, and judging from their clothes and behavior, these people were obviously more polite than in the afternoon, and none of them spoke loudly. .

The layout of the house is like a high-end club. Not only are there a sofa that is quite comfortable to sit on, but also some high-end fruits and snacks are placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa. It looks very delicious, but I don’t know how to eat it. How are you doing?

As soon as the three sat down, a waiter with a very sweet smile came up and poured tea for them, which made it impossible to refuse.

Although they had to be as careful as possible at the black market auction, they saw that other guests were drinking tea and eating pastries in peace, so they didn't think too much about it.Besides, they didn't bring much cash, so even if the organizer wanted to hack their money, they wouldn't be able to play tricks on this kind of thing.

After about ten, twenty, ten minutes, it seemed that the guests were almost here, and the auctioneer walked in, but this person was not the one in the afternoon, he was much more energetic than the one in the afternoon, and his language was organized. The ability is also much stronger than the one in the afternoon.

Next, the auctioneer said some polite words of welcome, and then explained the auction rules again, and the auction officially started.

The auction items were brought up one by one, and the first one was a group of three jade ornaments in the shape of human faces.

Jade ornaments with human faces are very rare in the antique world. This group of jade ornaments with human faces is similar in style to the jade ornaments with human faces found in the Neolithic Daxi culture.

In terms of material, jade ornaments should be considered stone, but they are polished and smooth. Considering that the ancients regarded jade as the "beauty of stone" and there is no strict classification in modern geology, it is more appropriate to say that they are jade ornaments .

Among them, what impressed Chu Chen the most was one of the dark gray jade ornaments in the shape of a human face. Its body is flat and oval. The mouth is represented by a hemispherical protrusion, without ears.

The reason why Chu Chen was impressed was that this jade ornament with a human face was very similar to a jade ornament with a human face from the Daxi culture that was discovered before, except for some details, and it might have come from the same person. hands.As for the other two pieces, although their performance is a bit worse than this one, they still do not lose their charm.

After identification, Chu Chen believes that this group of human-face-shaped jade ornaments is indeed a genuine product of the Daxi culture from the perspective of the existing surface and craftsmanship of the jade ornaments.Only one jade ornament like this has ever been found, so its rarity is obvious. In addition, the production is very delicate, so there is no need to say more about its value.

The auctioneer saw that no one came to the stage to appraise, so he dropped the hammer and began to bid, and the price increase of the lot was no longer just a few hundred or a few thousand as in the afternoon, but the lowest was tens of thousands.Of course, if every piece of auction is like this group of jade ornaments, a price increase of tens of thousands is very normal.

Although the auctioneer didn't give much introduction to this group of jade ornaments, he still mentioned its preciousness to some extent, and those who came to the black market had a little understanding of the market of the antique market, so there were quite a few customers who bid for it at once.

But after all, it is something on the black market, so there is no need to say more about its origin, so everyone's price increase is not high, and after [-] yuan, there are obviously fewer customers participating in the bidding.

Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai were very interested in jade ornaments like this, and Chu Chen also made a bid, but when he found out that a middle-aged man who looked like a boss had been raising the price, and the price was beyond his bottom line, he Finally gave up.

It was not the middle-aged man who finally photographed this group of jade ornaments, but another potbellied boss.As for the identity of the middle-aged man, Chu Chen guessed that he should be entrusted by the black market.In this case, not to mention the black market, even regular auctions are commonplace.

Moreover, the buyer actually didn't necessarily know that the middle-aged man was a trustee, but he was just willing to fight and willing to suffer.After all, the price of things on the black market is much lower than the price on the market. Even if the transaction price is relatively high, the buyer can still make a lot of money by putting the things on the market.

Next, two more bronze wares were added. These two wares were not like the ones in the afternoon. It was obvious that they were cultural relics that had not been unearthed for a long time.Because the shapes of these two bronze wares are not too rare, they were finally photographed by the same customer at a relatively low price.

Immediately afterwards, another item came up, which was a blue and white sunflower plate with cloud and dragon patterns from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.

This vessel has a diameter of nearly forty centimeters. The selection of materials, sample preparation, drawing utensils, and inscriptions are all refined. It is a new style in Xuande Dynasty. It is dignified and beautiful, with smooth and vivid lines. The bones are firm and thin.

This plate is in the shape of five sunflower petals, with a slightly raised center.The whole body is decorated with blue and white flowers.The inside and outside of the mouth are decorated with blue and white double-line patterns, and the center of the pan is painted with cloud and dragon patterns as the theme. Born from random writing, adding a piece of elegant beauty.

The six-character inscription of the regular script "Daming Xuande Annual System" in the double circle at the bottom of the heart has a strong character, fresh brushwork, dignified and naive inside, which is in line with the honest and simple scriptures of the Jin and Tang dynasties.Such a complex craft reflects the supremacy of imperial power and the luxury of court art, which can be described as ingenious.

But this blue and white plate with cloud dragon pattern and sunflower edge, one of the claws of the dragon pattern in the center of the plate is not five claws but six claws, which made most of the guests retreat, because they felt that this kind of flaw was obviously not enough. May appear on genuine product.

Moreover, these people did not think that it was the defective products at that time that were scattered outside, because at that time this kind of porcelain would be processed and broken in it, and it was impossible to spread to the people.
