Reborn Leisurely Landlord

Chapter 165 Auction

In October, Su Qingdai went to BJ again.Jubaozhai held an auction, and Su Qingdai, as the provider of jadeite raw materials, naturally received an invitation letter from Jubaozhai's boss, Yang Bosen.

Su Qingdai didn't want to reveal her identity, so she explained to Yang Bosen after arriving at BJ's that she only planned to participate in the auction in a disguised and low-key manner, and just watch the excitement in the back row of the venue.Yang Bosen also knew what she meant. He was carrying a huge treasure at a young age, so it was inevitable that he would be coveted by others.

Su Qingdai chooses to keep a low profile, which will not harm the interests of Jubaozhai, and can also add a gimmick of a mysterious supplier of raw materials, why not do it?
Su Qingdai contacted Yang Bosen in advance. When she arrived at BJ the day before, she was invited to his home by Yang Bosen. At that time, old man Yang was still polishing the last hosta.

All the jewelry was placed in the box, Su Qingdai looked over one by one, looking at the unearthly work, almost couldn't believe it, these jewelry were carved out of the cold stone.

While Su Qingdai picked it up to appreciate it, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no wonder the ancients said that a jade cannot be polished, but it cannot be used.These jewelry, after being carved with the chisel, turned out to be so beautiful.

Yang Bosen was looking forward and sad: "This batch of works can be regarded as the pinnacle of my father's work. Because of this batch of jewelry, his old man has not had a good rest in the past few months. It is a pity that this is also his last time. Moved the knife..."

Seeing Yang Bosen's dejected expression, Su Qingdai couldn't help but sighed: "Uncle Yang, don't feel sad, these things can only have such aura in the hands of Grandpa Yang. I believe that as soon as these things come out, they will definitely shake the whole country. !"

Hearing this, Yang Bosen was shaken, the previous sadness disappeared helplessly, and a burning light shone in his eyes.Su Qingdai knew that he was full of confidence in the auction, so she quickly changed the topic.

The auction was held in the lobby of a hotel. Yang Bosen specially found an auction house to supervise the matter. Many people were invited. In addition to celebrities from all walks of life, some wealthy business people were also present.

Perhaps because of the reputation of Jubaozhai and the photos of raw jade stones released by Yang Bosen in the early stage, many people were moved. Therefore, although the venue was very large this time, there were still no empty seats. with.They were all dignified people, and there was no noise. Apart from some whispering, the whole venue was considered orderly.

Su Qingdai came to the venue with Fang Haimei. After all, because she was too young, the goal would be too obvious if she participated alone, so she invited Fang Haimei to accompany her.

Fang Haimei is not very interested in other activities, but she has great ideas about the jade auction.Ever since she received Su Qingdai's set of glass jewelry, she has completely fallen in love with the noble jewelry of jadeite.

After arriving at the venue, Su Qingdai was surprised to find that the entire venue was full of people, and many people even stood beside the venue.Although Su Qingdai didn't want to be in the limelight, she would not be happy if she and Fang Haimei were to stand all the time.

Yang Bosen noticed it when Su Qingdai and Fang Haimei entered the venue, and before the auction started, he whispered something to his youngest son beside him.The younger son glanced in Su Qingdai's direction and nodded.

Su Qingdai and Fang Haimei frowned and looked at them. When they were at a loss, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man came up to her and asked her in a deep voice, "Is it Miss Su?"

Su Qingdai saw this boy, who was Yang Bosen's youngest son, so she nodded with a smile.

Yang Bosen's youngest son greeted her and Fang Haimei with a nod, and said with a smile: "My father has prepared places for the two of you, please follow me."

Su Qingdai and Fang Haimei looked at each other, sensing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes, followed the boy to the second floor calmly.

Only then did Su Qingdai discover that the design of this store is unique. The private room on the second floor is facing the stage of the store. There are floor-to-ceiling glass windows. People in the venue cannot see people in the room on the second floor, but they can do it on the second floor. Take a good look at the entire venue.

There are seats in the room, and snacks and fruits are placed on the coffee table, which are obviously prepared for entertaining guests.

The boy led Su Qingdai and Fang Haimei into the room, and said with a smile: "Miss Su, please feel free, my grandfather and uncle will come soon."

Su Qingdai nodded with a smile. While surprised by Yang Bosen's arrangement, she also felt very happy.

She is willing to deal with a businessman like Yang Bosen. He knows how to attack people. Even if you know that he has taken advantage of you, you will not feel uncomfortable, and you are willing to let him take advantage of you.While Su Qingdai admires such a businessman, he also has to admit that he is very smart.

Su Qingdai thought about the other pieces of materials in her hands. She was a little hesitant at first, but now she has made up her mind. When the auction is over, she will continue to hand it over to Jubaozhai.

The auction started soon with the host's announcement. After the host and organizer gave speeches, Mr. Yang also said a few words under the flashing light.

Because of the status of the old man, his appearance immediately heated up the venue.Those who came to buy jewelry only knew that there would be imperial green in that batch of jewelry, but they didn't know that this batch of jadeite was actually made by Mr. Yang himself.

After hearing that Yang Bosen added later that this batch of emerald jewelry would be the masterpiece of Mr. Yang, it caused an uproar even more.

You must know that Mr. Yang is considered a master sculptor in the domestic jade industry, even if he can't be called Taishan Beidou, he is still a rare figure.

Since the emergence of machine engraving, hand engraving has become tasteless, and there are fewer and fewer hand engravers who can truly pass it on, especially master engravers, which are even more rare.

Although machine engraving can carve out objects without any difference, compared with manual carving works, it lacks aura.

A layman may not be able to tell the difference, but an insider can tell the name at a glance.The value of hand-carved works is many times higher than that of machine-carved works. According to insiders, machine-carved objects are dead objects, and hundreds of them can be produced on the assembly line in a day, so there is not much collection value.

However, it is precisely because machine engraving is extremely simple, low in cost, and the appearance gap with hand engraving is almost negligible, so although it has many shortcomings, it still occupies a large market.

However, if you encounter really good materials, few people use machine engraving, which is really wasteful.

However, the real problem is also very cruel. With the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, few people are interested in those traditional crafts. Few people learn, and even fewer people become teachers.In a few years, hand-carving is estimated to become a legendary unique skill.

This is exactly why the venue caused such a commotion after Mr. Yang announced the closing of the mountain.However, even if everyone was excited, they couldn't stop the old man's decision.Mr. Yang, who is nearly seventy years old, is getting more and more powerless.In this way, Mr. Yang's works have become more and more precious.

When the old man returned to the compartment on the second floor, the auction just started.The few people did not exchange pleasantries, and sat upstairs to watch the auction with great interest, joking and betting from time to time, estimating how much a set of jewelry would sell for.

According to the rules of the auction house, everything is done step by step, the ice jewelry is placed first, and the heavy imperial green is finally placed.

When the ice jewelry came to the stage, the camera lights flickered, but the people who participated in the auction were somewhat lacking in interest.Although ice jewelry is also rare, jade jewelry of that material can also be seen in ordinary jade shops, so most people don't like it.

But there are also some people who know that they don't have enough financial resources, or they come here for the old man's work.So after the auctioneer announced the reserve price of 100 million, there was no silence at the venue, and some people started calling for prices.

"Lot No. 100, a five-piece set of ice jadeite Ming and Qing jewellery, the starting price is only [-] million. Has anyone bid?"

Su Qingdai was not interested in that set of ice jewelry, so she didn't pay much attention to those jewelry, but looked at the celebrities sitting in the venue with great interest.To Su Qingdai's surprise, he saw Song Ershao among the group of people.

Su Qingdai didn't have much feeling for the Song family, even if Song Ershao offended her and tried to take away her stone that day, she didn't feel very annoyed.It's just that she doesn't have a good impression of the Song family. Although she knows that she and the Song family may have parted with the blood relationship, she doesn't want to recognize the Song family rashly.

Su Qingdai noticed that there was a woman sitting next to Second Young Master Song, who seemed to be about the same age as herself.Although she only saw a side face, Su Qingdai still flashed a person in her heart, the third lady mentioned by the shopkeeper.

I was in a daze when I heard the auctioneer asking: "Ice Jadeite Ming and Qing Jewelry, the bid is 480 million, is there anyone to increase the price?"

Su Qingdai was very surprised. After just wandering for a while, the jewelry had such a high price.She turned her head to look at old man Yang, and saw that his face was calm, as if he was not surprised that such a high price could be called out.

A total of three sets of Ice Jewelry were sold. Excluding the one that had been booked in advance, the remaining two sets fetched a high price of 480 million.

Next came the appearance of the glass species, and the appearance of the Twelve Beauties of the Red Chamber attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.Su Qingdai heard the exclamation from everyone in the venue, and some people even had the urge to rush up to check the jewelry, but with the presence of security personnel, the commotion in the venue soon stopped, and the whole venue fell silent.

Su Qingdai was once captivated by those twelve gold hairpins. Even if she saw it again, she would still find that jewelry breathtaking, let alone those who saw it for the first time?

The auctioneer only called out the reserve price of 300 million, and the people in the audience began to bid frantically.Su Qingdai turned her head and saw the old man with his eyes closed and a smile on his lips.
