Chapter 113 Gold Inlaid Jade Buddha
Meng Dongyue is a fine individual, how could he fail to see that Mr. Wang wanted to change the subject?

He came over knowingly, and said along the way: "We were eating and chatting just now, which wasted a lot of time, and it should be almost over now."

Mr. Wang immediately said with a serious face: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go there now!"

As soon as the words fell, Mr. Wang dragged Meng Dongyue to the front, looking as if he wanted to run with a guilty conscience.

Shi Jin and Chu Ning were left behind, they looked at each other and laughed again.

Just looking at the way old man Wang and Meng Dongyue walked together, if their identities were not mentioned, people who didn't know would probably think of them as their own grandparents.

It's really because the characters of the old and the young are too similar!
They are all the same serious with a little bit of incongruity!
The four of them returned to Weipu Auction House, and it was not far from the official start of the auction, and all the people coming and going at the entrance of the auction house were people.

The four of Chu Ning walked into the auction venue under the personal leadership of manager Tan of the auction house, and more than half of the seats in the venue were already filled with people.

Fortunately, they came late, and Manager Tan brought them in through an inconspicuous small door on purpose. Coupled with the lighting, not many people noticed them. People come to block.

Chu Ning came with Meng Dongyue, and the reserved seat was not at the same place as Mr. Wang.But this is just a trivial matter. Meng Dongyue just mentioned it to Manager Tan, and Manager Tan immediately took the initiative to transfer the position and arranged the four of them together.

Chu Ning and Mr. Wang sat in the middle, while Meng Dongyue and Shi Jin sat on either side.

Not long after, the time for the official start of the auction finally arrived, and the venue was closed, so no one would come in and out to make any noise.

There is a host presenting.

The first lot that appeared was very shocking. It was actually one of the five treasures previously collected in the VIP hall.

It was a jade Buddha inlaid with gold.

Jade has a long history in our country, and it is a symbol of auspiciousness, beauty, elegance and purity.

For Buddhists and those who believe in Buddhism, there is nothing more suitable for making Buddha statues than jade.

The whole Jade Buddha is not too big, but it is definitely not small either.If it is enshrined at home, it is just right.

The host was still introducing this gold-encrusted jade Buddha with a lot of tongue.

"...This is the Jade Buddha inherited from the Song Dynasty. You can see that this jade is tough and dense, delicate and smooth. It is a rare Nanyang jade. Now we start bidding, and the starting price is 180 million! Every time the price increases, it must not be less than One hundred thousand!"

Nanyang jade is one of the four famous jades in my country, also known as Dushan jade.It has six pigments of green, white, yellow, purple, red and white, and is one of the first-class raw materials for jade carving.

The name of Dushan Jade Carving is even more impressive and has a long history.

Looking at the carving of the Jade Buddha, it is obvious that it was also made by a master, and it has been well maintained, so it should have some origins.

Regardless of the age, if you just look at the quality of the jade, this Jade Buddha is definitely worthy of the starting price!

The people present were all wealthy people with successful careers. If you want to say how many of these people believe in Buddhism, it is impossible to count them.

But because their surname is not Buddha, it doesn't mean that their family members don't believe in Buddha either.

Moreover, people who do business generally want to do something for peace of mind.

Buying a Buddha statue back home can be used to reassure the family at home, and to reassure the employees in the company. It can be useful!

For a while, many people were moved by this Buddha statue.

What's more, there were quite a few people at the scene who really liked Gu Yu and Jade Buddha.

The quality of the Jade Buddha itself is good, and the skill of inlaying gold is even more ingenious.Even people who don't understand antiques and ancient jade will be reluctant to take their eyes off it when they see it.

"No. 24, 180 million!"

"No. 37, 190 million!"

"No. 12,..."

In a short time, the gold-encrusted Jade Buddha was called for a price of 330 million, almost double the starting price!
And there are still people who continue to shout prices, but the speed of bidding has been greatly reduced.

But no matter what, it is obvious that the final transaction price of the gold-encrusted Jade Buddha must be more than this amount.

The four of Chu Ning didn't move at all.

Because they are one of the people who are not interested in this Jade Buddha.

Of course, there was another reason why Chu Ning didn't move, that was, she had no money.

She came today to take the opportunity to exercise her eyesight.

"Didn't it be said that the habit of auctions is to buy the cheap ones first, and then the expensive ones?" Chu Ning asked Meng Dongyue quietly.

She had read the brochure sent by the auction house, and most of the items in it were worth less than this Jade Buddha, and there were even things with a starting price of only tens of thousands, which was far from this Jade Buddha.

Meng Dongyue said with a smile: "This is indeed the habit of auctions. However, at the beginning of the auction, they usually use things of higher value to warm up the auction atmosphere. Only everyone is attracted by the good things." If you get excited, you will be more likely to spend more money to buy things in the next auction, and the auction house will make a lot of money!"

Chu Ning suddenly realized.

That's what happened.

The things in the hot field must not be too bad, but it is not enough to bring out the best.

The best ones must be left behind for the finale.

The gold-encrusted jade Buddha is very suitable.

Among all the items in this auction, the value of the gold-encrusted Jade Buddha belongs to the highest category, but it is also the kind of low-value antiques of the same kind, which is just the beginning!
Mr. Wang said slowly from the side: "There are not many good things in this auction, but there are quite a lot of varieties. It is suitable for young people like you to participate, and it can broaden your horizons."

Chu Ning thanked Mr. Wang with a smile.

Mr. Wang became quiet again.

The gold-encrusted Jade Buddha, which is said to be inherited from the Song Dynasty, was finally sold for 460 million yuan, and it was taken by a middle-aged fat man like an upstart with a big belly.

After the Jade Buddha auction was successful, everyone's enthusiasm was successfully mobilized, and the atmosphere in the venue became much more lively.

The second lot is a piece of porcelain from the Qing Dynasty.

my country's ceramic culture has been passed down for thousands of years, coupled with the natural raw materials of JDZ and the management of pottery supervisors, it reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, not only the official kilns of JDZ produced countless exquisite porcelains, but also the folk kilns in various places were well developed.

Some high-quality folk kiln porcelains are not far behind even official kilns.

There are many famous porcelains in the Qing Dynasty, and there are not none worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.However, the ceramic vase at the auction is obviously much more ordinary.

This pottery vase, both in shape and drawing, is very ordinary. It is much inferior to the porcelain produced in the official kiln, and it cannot be regarded as a fine product of the folk kiln.
