Tianyan Jianbao

Chapter 128 Auction
"Haoming, let's go, what are you looking at?" Chen Manfei led Tongtong to the door of the next shop.

Chen Manfei first asked the boss: "Do you have the seal of the chicken blood Dahongpao?"

The boss shook his head: "There is a blood volume of 40.00% five."

"Forget it, let's go back." The three walked out of the store side by side.

This hotel does not have that kind of suite, and Wang Haoming and Chen Manfei, mother and daughter, have separate rooms.

Back in his own room, Wang Haoming brushed his teeth, washed and lay down on the bed, trying to calm himself down. The main goal now is to get the giant bloodstone, which is the most important thing.

The next day, Chen Manfei drove around Lin'an looking for the Dahongpao seal, but found nothing all morning.

At noon, I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank to withdraw money. A few days earlier, at Chen Manfei's suggestion, Wang Haoming had already made an appointment in advance. To be on the safe side, I took out 500 million and put it in the safe in the trunk.Chen Manfei also took some.

But not as many as Wang Haoming, probably around hundreds of thousands.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the mobile phone in her bag rang.

Chen Manfei pulled over to stop the car, and picked up the phone: "Hello, who is it? Oh, Boss Yan, hello, hehe, we are looking for stones with Lin'an, yes, you said, right? Seven o'clock in the evening, okay, I see, thank you, okay, see you that night, bye."

Wang Haoming hurriedly asked, "Is the auction set?"

Chen Manfei, who hung up the phone, nodded: "Guoshi Village, around 07:30 in the evening, start looking at the stones as soon as it gets dark, and then auction at [-]:[-]."

Huh, it's finally here!
Tong Tong asked puzzledly, "Why do you have to wait until it gets dark?"

Wang Haoming, who played poker with her, explained: "The chicken blood auction in Guoshi Village is usually at night, because the light will be very bright and beautiful when it hits the surface of the chicken blood after dark, which is better than the effect during the day."

Tongtong snorted: "You know quite a lot, don't you?"

That is, for the bloodstone, Wang Haoming did a lot of homework before coming here.

Nearly seven o'clock, the Audi car slowly drove into Guoshi Village. This time, Chen Manfei didn't just park the car on the side of the road, but turned a corner and stopped in front of the villager Li's house.

She got out of the car and knocked on the door of his house, and said a few words to Brother Li and his wife, Brother Li nodded and agreed, saying that she would go to the auction without worry, and he would help take care of the car.

After thanking him, San walked along the small path to a restaurant-like building. There was a red silk strip hanging on the door, and the words "Changhua Chicken Blood Raw Stone Auction" were written on it.

There were 30 to [-] people gathered outside, but it may be that the time was not up yet, a local person stopped everyone at the door and did not let everyone in.Looking into the house through the glass, several villagers are busy moving here and there, as if gathering many chicken blood stones into the west house.

"Soon." Chen Manfei raised his wrist to look at his watch: "Wait a little longer."

Just as he was talking, a middle-aged man suddenly came over from under the tree: "Tongtong?" At night, he also wore sunglasses like Chen Manfei, as if deliberately covering his face.

The middle-aged man in sunglasses also walked to the side of several people at this time, and took off his glasses.

"Ah, Uncle Liu?" Tongtong asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

It turned out to be the one who had a relationship with Wang Haoming once, the cultural relic appraisal expert-Ms. Liu!

Teacher Liu touched Tongtong's head with a smile, nodded politely to Wang Haoming, and said: "Before your mother left, she called me and asked me if I would come to Changhua. , but later I found some time, after thinking about it, it’s okay to stay here, so I came over to have a look, coincidentally, just arrived in Lin’an, I heard that there would be an auction at night in Guoshi Village, no, I hurried there.”

Chen Manfei smiled and said, "Brother Liu, why are you wearing sunglasses? I just saw the figure of the person under the tree familiar, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Teacher Liu shrugged helplessly: "You think I'm thinking about it. Today, I'm out of my league. I went to several bloodstone shops in Lin'an. The boss recognized me. I saw a stone. But the other party offered me a stone. The sky-high price seems to have won me over, so that I have to buy a pair of sunglasses, ah, I'm a poor man, I can't compare with you."

Chen Manfei said modestly: "Don't say that, I can pick up so many leaks, it's just luck."

"That's wrong. Dean Shi taught me that day. He said that I can only talk on paper, and I will be caught blind if I do it. Hehe, he also asked me and a few old guys to learn from you."

"Principal Shi's original words were, 'Don't look at her young age, that girl Manfei is the one who really likes to collect materials. The feeling of cultural relics is not comparable to yours. Learn from it' Haha, Dean Shi But he seldom praises others, in my impression, you are the second one praised by him."

"Manphy, have you taken a fancy to that stone?"

"Just now I looked at the window, it seems that there is no particularly outstanding chicken blood, but the biggest one is very bright red, the area is enough, and the weight is also enough."

Teacher Liu said, "Oh? You want to bet on the two big red robe seals?"

"It's not that you don't know that chicken blood is more difficult to penetrate into stone than emerald green. If you say cut it, cut it. I don't have that much courage."

After a pause, Chen Manfei pointed at Wang Haoming: "Besides, Haoming has already set his sights on that giant bloodstone, and I can't compete with him even if I want to."

"Really?" Teacher Liu looked at Wang Haoming: "I saw the stone from the glass just now, how much are you going to pay?"

Wang Haoming did not hide anything, and lowered his voice: "About 200 million."

Teacher Liu was taken aback: "Oh, I said I wanted to fight for it, but it seems hopeless. If it's 200 million, no one will be able to snatch it from you. But, are you feeling a little panicked?"

Chen Manfei said: "I talked to Haoming, but he didn't listen, he seems to like the stone."

Teacher Liu said: "Oh, but I guess we can't ask for such a high price, 190 million will stop."

There was a lot of noise in front of the restaurant-like building. A local man turned around and said something to the people in the house, and then loudly said to the outside that he could go in and look at the stone.

Huh, everyone rushed forward, as if whoever entered the stone first would get it, and squeezed in desperately.Nothing like a boss at all.

Wang Haoming noticed that there were quite a lot of people who came back, roughly counting, there were about 80 to [-] people, and of course, many of them were just watching the show.

Chen Manfei looked at the crowded room, shook his head and said, "Let's go in later."

"Okay, I don't care about this minute and a half."

After a while, Boss Yan from Baoshi Pavilion came late, and ran over here in a hurry, "Is it open? Is it open?"

"Not yet, there are too many people, we are waiting." Wang Haoming was a little speechless, thinking that a person who is usually quite stable, how could he change when he saw the chicken blood stone?

Boss Yan let out a sigh of relief: "Phew, luckily I caught up. A guest came to my place suddenly, and he didn't leave."

Over there, the first few people who squeezed in have already come out one after another, and everyone's expressions are slightly excited, and each one is getting more excited.

Boss Yan rubbed his hands impatiently: "Mr. Chen, can I go in first?"

Chen Manfei looked inside and said to us, "Let's go in too, there are far fewer people."

Walking into this restaurant with no tables and chairs, there are many locals standing in the main hall to maintain the order of the Westinghouse, so as not to allow so many people to enter at once, they have to queue up.

While waiting, Wang Haoming glanced at the east room. The door was open. There were several wooden boxes and safes there. He asked, "Does Boss Yan still have bloodstones in the safe?"

Boss Yan nodded and said, "That's right. There should be a lot left for the next auction. Otherwise, if all of them are sold at once, the next auction will not be able to last."

Wang Haoming stared at Dongwu for a long time before he reluctantly looked away.

At this time, five people walked out of the Westinghouse, and the room was empty, finally it was Wang Haoming's turn.

Stepping over the threshold, I saw scattered bloodstone rough stones lying on the concrete floor, all of which were bright blood-colored, very attractive.

After Chen Manfei turned around and handed Wang Haoming a spotlight flashlight, he squatted in a corner and picked up a rough stone to illuminate it.

Wang Haoming glanced around the room, squatted next to a southerner, picked up stones, imitated their professional movements, and flashed the flashlight.

This rough stone fully embodies the characteristics of Changhua chicken blood. The pool is poor, but the blood is thick and thick. Alas, it is so beautiful. This is still wool that has not been polished. How beautiful it is to form a seal with a slippery surface.

Wang Haoming swallowed, put it down, and took a rough stone in his hand.

Most of Westinghouse's chicken blood wool is small pieces, ranging from a few kilograms to a dozen kilograms, and the larger ones weigh only a few dozen kilograms. The giant piece of chicken blood in the corner that weighs several hundred kilograms is quite conspicuous, and it is also the protagonist of today's auction Son.

Wang Haoming noticed that every boss and businessman who entered the house almost stayed there for a long time, looking left, feeling right, and measuring with a ruler.

Chen Manfei pulled Tongtong to stand up and walked out, while Teacher Liu and Boss Yan were still looking at the stone carefully.Seeing this, Wang Haoming followed Chen Manfei out of the Westinghouse: "Sister Chen, did you see the one you like?"

At the entrance of the restaurant, two villagers were pulling a red carpet forward, and Chen Manfei took steps to avoid the carpet. "Yes, the material is good, and it's not expensive anyway. I want to try my luck, how about you?"

Wang Haoming said: "I just want to buy that big rock, I'm not interested in anything else."

Chen Manfei chuckled: "Don't worry, the stone will definitely not escape your hands. If you get two Dahongpao seals, don't forget to leave one for me."

Tongtong glanced at me: "Yes, sell it to my mother cheaply, no, give it to my mother."

Chen Manfei flicked her forehead amusedly: "Poor mouth."

Boss Yan was the last one to come out of the restaurant. A local person looked back and immediately announced the official start of the auction.

He directed one person to move out a small rough stone weighing three to four kilograms from the Westinghouse with him, and put it on the red carpet. "Everyone knows the rules, so I won't say more, and the bidding starts now."

Different from a serious auction, the auction in Guoshi Village is very informal. Everyone is chatting and laughing around the door, and the local people who act as auctioneers also speak a local dialect, and Wang Haoming can't understand many words.

"Five hundred!" A southerner shouted.

"Six hundred!" A woman with a northeast accent joined the competition.

The villagers in charge of the auction held the small piece of wool in the air: "six hundred", "eight hundred and five", "one thousand and fifty", "one thousand and 180". There is no starting price for the auction in Guoshi Village, let alone a fixed asking price. Call as much as you want.

Wang Haoming heard that an old man actually called out such a price as "230 and [-] yuan", which made everyone laugh and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"One thousand and three." "One thousand three hundred and five, one thousand three hundred and five, one thousand three hundred and five, deal!"

In the end, the stone was slapped away by the woman with the northeast accent.

Then, another piece of wool about four catties was brought out.This time, Boss Yan joined in the fight, called [-] in one go, and finally won it.

Several pieces of rough stones were photographed in a row, but there was no such scene of bloodshed and life-and-death competition, and the rough stones were all sold at reasonable and normal prices.

Wang Haoming found that everyone seemed to know each other, and there was a sense of humility. For example, if he gave up this stone, others would also give him the next piece of wool. This is absolutely unheard of in Beijing auctions. scene.

Just as he was thinking, Chen Manfei's voice came into his ears: "Fifteen thousand!"

Wang Haoming took a closer look, and there was a piece of wool weighing three catties lying on the red carpet at the entrance of the restaurant. Don't look at it, but the appearance is quite good, and it should not be expensive. Chen Manfei probably wants to bet on a seal with a high blood volume.

"Seventeen thousand!" was the price shouted by the young man I met on the road that day.

Chen Manfei continued to shout: "Nineteen thousand."

"Twenty-two thousand!" the man said, and gave them a demonstrative sideways glance.
