Volume 2: Dragon Teng Xijing Chapter 223: Antique Street Auction (1)

The military training is finally over, but the busy study life has just begun, and each major has entered the normal courses of the university, although there are still many activities that everyone needs to participate in occasionally, but all in all, learning. After all, it is the main job of a student.

Although Zuo Xiaoyun is Lu Yao's homeroom teacher, because the courses she teaches are not offered in this semester, there are relatively few opportunities for everyone to meet later, and Lu Yao doesn't have to worry about being called by Zuo Xiaoyun every day, which is also why he has plenty of time to do his own things.

The formula of [Strengthening Muscles and Bone Pills] Lu Yao has been handed over to Fang Jinghua, these days Fang Jinghua has also started construction of a processing plant on the site that has been selected a long time ago, these East and West Jinghua has been preparing for several months, coupled with his 100% confidence in Lu Yao and willingness to spend money to invest, the overall progress of the project is progressing quite smoothly. I believe that it won't be long before [Muscle Strengthening and Bone Strengthening Pills] can be listed in large quantities. As for the operation after listing, Fang Jinghua is confident, and Lu Yao is not worried.

Things are also going relatively smoothly in Shuangta City, the mother of Chen Jin and Chen Hu has fully recovered, in order to better fulfill their promises, and in order to take care of their mother, the two brothers also took their mother from the small county town to Shuangta City, and since then, Zhang Huanlong has arranged a job as a shopping mall cleaner for Chen's mother, although it is not easy, but fortunately, mother and son can often meet.

The news fed back by the two brothers shows that after Lu Yao left, Lu Yiqian was still in a low mood for a while at first, but as the busyness of work gradually improved, the two brothers told Lu Yao not to worry, they would definitely ensure Lu Yiqian's safety.

Miao Jingtian also contacted Lu Yao once, he told Lu Yao that although Miao Fu still had no reaction, his breath was much calmer, and Miao Jiatun was now back to normal, and the men's medicine picking and women's washing were all back to the scene before Miao Lu's disaster, and everyone also supported Miao Jingtian in every way, and even some people directly asked him to remove the code of the patriarch and directly succeed the patriarch, but Miao Jingtian politely refused.

After everything went well, Lu Yao contacted Lin Jiayi again, but the result was still no answer, and even Lin Yuandao's phone was hung up as soon as he called, and every time it was inconvenient for the other party to answer your call. Lu Yao was still a little worried about this, but he couldn't start because he found that he really didn't know how to contact Lin Jiayi. The matter was put on hold for the time being.

University courses are not like high school one after another, there is a long break in between, of course, Lu Yao will occasionally skip class to busy himself like other classmates, fortunately, the teachers in the university are relatively loose, and the roll call is only occasional, not every class is named.

Lu Yao's main thing now is to cultivate, he wants to break through the Qi Cultivation Realm as soon as possible, and the most important thing to break through the Qi Cultivation Realm now is to find a suitable immortal qi attribute for his cultivation, the five major attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth So far, Lu Yao has not determined which attribute he will focus on in the future, but this matter is very important, there can be no sloppiness, and this matter can only play a role in mentioning the situation, and it cannot make a decision for Lu Yao, After all, everyone has to find an immortal qi attribute that is suitable for their own cultivation, and in addition to their own efforts, they also rely on chance, and there is no law to follow.

In the past, when I was in Shuangta City, the place was small, and there were few resources that could be used, but after arriving in Xijing, it was different, not only was there rich in medicinal resources, but even those so-called auctions were more frequent.

Lu Yao has also saved a lot of money through his cooperation with Fang Jinghua in Shuangta City, and it is not a problem to temporarily support some of his activity funds, not to mention that he still has an unlimited overdraft black card given to him by Fang Jinghua in his hand. Card. This made him decide to go to the auction as soon as possible to meet him.

After checking the Internet, Lu Yao found that this weekend, there was another auction to be held in the antique street in Xijing City, which was not very grand but still very good, and the organizer was jointly sponsored by more than ten large shops in the antique street.

……

……

After some careful preparations, Lu Yao arrived at the antique street located in Zhongjian Road, Xijing City in advance on Saturday according to the time announced on the Internet, if it is said that it is the second largest antique market in the northwest region, then there can be any place that dares to say that it is the first, just the mountainous area of the whole street is about to catch up with the size of the first high school in Shuangta City, where Lu Yao once studied, and if it is more specific, it is the size of a football field dedicated to eight professional competitions.

The architectural style here is all antique buildings, blue bricks and red tiles glazed roofs, carved beams and painted dragons and phoenixes dance, the first feeling of walking into the antique street is like really returning to ancient times, especially the very large businesses are antique patterns, even the ordinary service staff are also dressed in cheongsam coats.

The main reason why Lu Yao came early was to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment in advance, feel the atmosphere here, and let himself, a native bun from a remote city, see the strong business atmosphere of a big city, which indeed lived up to Lu Yao's expectations.

Since this auction is jointly sponsored by more than a dozen shops in the antique street, all the lots are some old antiques handed down from ancient times without exception, some of which were inadvertently dug out of the ground, some were bought back from overseas by merchants for a lot of money, and some were passed down from generation to generation. The antique street was too big, and Lu Yao only turned less than a quarter of the shops for more than an hour.

In order to prevent some indiscriminate fakes from flowing into the auction, the organizers have invited the country's most authoritative antique appraisal experts to do the appraisal before the auction, and in order to make consumers more assured, the organizers also invited four respected old experts in the antique street, one of whom is a retired dean of the Department of History of Yenching University, who once went overseas on behalf of the country to identify and auction some national treasure-level antiques that were resold abroad by lawbreakers, and it can be said that he is the most respected one among the several experts present today. Lu Yao also read his masterpiece some time ago in order to study the broken map that Miao Fu gave him, and his knowledge and insight have even been highly affirmed by Lijiang, and he can be regarded as a veritable expert.

Lu Yao looked at the time, the time for the auction to start was approaching, and he walked towards the venue. Because there are several good collections auctioned at this auction, it still attracts a large number of antique lovers to participate, including some well-known domestic antique collectors, Lu Yao entered the venue and found that in addition to some scattered seats on the first floor, some well-equipped box seats were specially prepared on the second floor, but those who could sit in it were not ordinary people, so Lu Yao did not plan to go to the second floor to "visit", he chose a place with an excellent view on the first floor and sat down.

The first link after the auction started is a brief introduction to the history of the antique shops co-sponsored by the ten antique shops, I have to say that these ten shops are the best in the entire antique street, each of which has an astonishing collection of more than thousands of pieces, and they also announced on the spot that all the commissions collected by the auction will be donated to some poor areas for the development of antique collection, which won the unanimous applause of hundreds of people on the scene.

Nowadays, some successful businessmen are willing to contribute to charity or some infrastructure construction in their own fields, and some even follow the example of some well-known entrepreneurs abroad who donated naked after their deaths. This also sets a good example for some of today's businessmen.

After the introduction of the store is the most relevant auction lot display, the auction is often from a small hit, according to the value and rarity of an auction, the first lot is a small county town in the south was inadvertently excavated out of the Yuan Dynasty official kiln of the white porcelain bottle, the bottle height is about 30 centimeters, the bottom is large and small, the bottle body is shallow carved lotus wild, there is a hollow plum petal shape at the upper mouth, some white yellowing from a distance, the bottom of the bottle has the seal carving of the official kiln, after the unanimous determination of the four experts on the scene, There is no doubt that it came from the official kiln of the Yuan Dynasty.

The white porcelain vase of the official kiln of the Yuan Dynasty is not small, but it is really not much to be able to preserve so intact, although the room for price appreciation is not very large in the future, but if you like it, it is still very collectible, the starting price is set at 50,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 1,000 yuan each time, after a very fierce bidding, it was finally auctioned by a lady who sat in the front row of the individual passenger area on the first floor at a price of 68,000 yuan.

Lu Yao is the first time to participate in this kind of auction, and he doesn't know a lot about it, but fortunately, there are two experts in suits and ties sitting next to him, and through their conversation, Lu Yao learned that this price is already very high, and it is very good that the first collection in the previous auction can be bought for 60,000 yuan, and it is really good to sell it directly at a price close to 70,000 yuan like this, but in this way, the later lots may be more valuable.

Although the next auction was intense, it still did not bid a very exaggerated price, and the overall price was within the range predicted by experts. Suddenly, not far behind him, two elderly people in Tang costumes said excitedly: "Have you heard, I heard from one of my fellow villagers who participated in this auction that this time there are two peerless treasures to be on the grand finale." ”

"Really?" The other old man also asked with excitement.

"Of course, I won't lie to anyone. It is said that the two lots were bought back from abroad at a high price, and the seller was Hu Siye, a well-known antique collector in Yanjing, who put the two pieces up for auction because he wanted to cash out and go abroad to participate in the world's largest annual national treasure antique auction next month. The old man who had revealed the news before looked carefully at the people around him, and when he was sure that no one noticed him, he whispered in the ear of another old man.

"Is that true?" The other person in Tang costume still couldn't believe it, after all, this matter involved Yanjing Hu Siye, who existed like a god in his mind, so he still asked again.

"Seriously, just wait and see, I'm sure these two things must be the last to be put up for auction." The old man who revealed the news whispered again: "And when I entered the venue just now, I saw Hu Siye also enter with his bodyguard, I believe that he must be sitting in a private room on the second floor at this time watching everything here." ”

"Haha, it seems that this trip from the Northeast is still worth it, although I can't afford it, but it's always good to take a look, and it's a long experience." The old man, who had been questioning it before, also believed it, and said with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Because so far, none of the lots have made Lu Yao have the urge to go to auction, so he is really looking forward to the so-called two finale collections.
