Chapter 12 Signs
"Hello everyone, guests. Luo Zhuo sat down for only a few minutes, and a man stood on the stage, the man was full of white hair, he was not young, but his waist was straight, and he was wearing a well-fitting suit, which was very energetic.
"Contemptible is today's auctioneer, everyone's time is precious, I won't waste time, and now is the first auction item. The old man said neatly, and with a wave of his hand, a tall beautiful woman in a cheongsam walked up to the stage with a tray covered with a red cloth and put the tray on the stand.
The auctioneer said loudly: "The No. 1 auction item, blue and white floral pattern Hailao porcelain, is dated to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the starting price is 640,000 yuan, and those who are interested can come to the stage to view." As soon as he stretched out his hand, the beautiful woman who had just come to the stage lifted the red cloth from the tray, revealing a porcelain plate underneath.
Luo Zhuo didn't even look at it, most of the antiques in the eyes of others were worthless in his eyes, you must know that when the cultivation world was still there, the best porcelain was supplied by the royal family to the major cultivation sects, the Kunlun faction was the first major school in the cultivation world, and every piece of porcelain they used was a rare treasure, how could Luo Zhuo look at this kind of porcelain.
Although Zhu Siwei is controlling the audience, but he has been paying attention to Luo Zhuo beside him, after returning from dinner together last time, Zhu Siwei specially sent someone to investigate Luo Zhuo, the string of beads in Luo Zhuo's hand aroused his great interest, that kind of bracelet to Zhu Siwei's experience has only seen once, he is very curious where Luo Zhuo came from, but the results of his investigation, no matter how you look at Luo Zhuo, he is just an ordinary college student, no, it can't be considered ordinary, he is worse than ordinary people, he is an orphan.
Seeing that Luo Zhuo seemed to be disdainful of the 640,000 Hailao porcelain, Zhu Siwei's brows furrowed slightly, it seems that there must be something wrong with the results of the investigation he got, how can an ordinary orphan have such a calm quality.
Luo Zhuo couldn't look at it, but since someone could see it, as soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, someone had already walked up to the stage, took the white glove belt from the waiter's hand, and began to carefully look at the porcelain plate, the antiques in the auction are all valuable, and those who want to sell will naturally identify the authenticity first, at this time, no matter how hard the brand of Zhu Siwei is, they will also believe in their own vision.
After more than half an hour, the auction continued, and after several rounds of bidding, the blue and white pattern porcelain plate was finally sold at a price of 1.25 million, nearly double the auction price.
The auctioneer was also very happy, and his voice increased a few points, and soon the second auction item was also delivered, or a piece of Hailao porcelain, Luo Zhuo yawned, this kind of porcelain He was not interested at all.
Five pieces of porcelain were photographed until the sixth was no longer porcelain.
The following auction item is the landscape painting of the famous modern painter Huang Binhong, Master Huang Binhong everyone knows, and Mr. Qi Baishi is called the North Qi South Huang, Master Huang's painting style is black, dense, thick and heavy, this landscape painting is made by Master Huang in his later years, fully showing his mature style, Mohua flying, the artistic conception is clear and profound, to the end of the axe and chisel carving. The auctioneer asked the two cheongsam beauties in charge of displaying the auction items to open the scroll and said loudly: "The starting price is 2.3 million, and the bid price is not less than 1,000 yuan each time!"
This time Luo Zhuo raised his head and looked at the painting, but he didn't go on stage to take a closer look, if it was another time, he might take this painting down, he himself is not very interested in calligraphy and painting, but he has a junior brother, very obsessed with the way of calligraphy and painting, so in the world for six hundred years, Luo Zhuo will collect some good calligraphy and painting from time to time, hoping that if he has the opportunity to meet again in the future, he can give his junior brother a surprise, but now he can't open his storage space, and he doesn't have a penny on his body, let alone 2.3 million, even if it is 230 yuan, he can't afford itγ
Looking at the landscape painting from 2.3 million, the atmosphere of the auction was much more popular than before, more than half an hour later, the landscape painting was auctioned away by a middle-aged man in his forties at a price of 6.82 million, the middle-aged man was full of smiles, as if he had picked up a treasure, it seemed that he really liked this landscape painting.
"Zhou Yan, you have made a small fortune now. I regret not taking your fee. Zhu Siwei smiled and said to Zhou Yan next to him.
It turned out that this landscape painting of Huang Binhong was entrusted to Siwei Auction House by Zhou Yan, with a starting price of 2.3 million yuan and a high price of 6.82 million yuan, which was definitely a very successful auction.
"It's only six million, where can you be seen by the sixth brother. Zhou Yan wasn't too happy, as if he was a little distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"This painting is yours, Yan Yan. Wen Ya said in surprise, since the last meal, she took Zhou Yan around the campus a few times, and the two have become good friends, but Wen Ya did not ask Zhou Yan's family, her own family is good, but she was also shocked by more than six million.
"It's not mine, it's my grandfather's, I'll sell it for him. Zhou Yan said, "I've made a small fortune, let's go shopping together another day, Sister Wen." β
The two girls chatted about going shopping, while Zhu Siwei opened his mouth and said to Luo Zhuo, "Little brother, is there anything that catches your eye?"
"I'm accompanying Wen Ya to have a good time, your things here are too expensive, I can't afford them. Luo Zhuo shook his head and said.
"Little brother said with a smile, my lot today can't catch up with the string of beads in your hand. "Zhu Siwei is not dead set on wanting to buy Luo Zhuo's bracelet, money is just a number for people like Zhu Siwei, they pay more attention to symbols, a string of almost unique bracelets, it is definitely a very stylish object.
Luo Zhuo smiled and didn't answer, I wish Siwei a good vision, but if he wants to buy his beads, he doesn't have the ability and qualifications yet.
While speaking, a few more auction items were auctioned out, and the auction was coming to an end, and none of the auction items were unsold.
"Now it is the last auction item of the day, which is suspected to be a golden silk nanmu statue. The auctioneer raised his voice, and with his voice, a cheongsam beauty held a one-foot-tall, black and yellow statue on the booth, and the statue seemed to be carved with a man, not the common Guanyin or Buddha statue.
Just when the auctioneer introduced the auction item, Luo Zhuo's eyes shot out a fine light, and when he saw this statue, the meridians all over his body suddenly and uncontrollably shook together, and there was an inexplicable voice in his heart, he must get this statue!
"The age and material of this statue cannot be determined, so the starting price is slightly lower, the starting price is 60,000 yuan, and interested guests please raise their signs!" the auctioneer raised the gavel in his hand and said loudly.
Luo Zhuo's brows furrowed, his meridians had regained their calm, but the reaction at that moment just now, Luo Zhuo was very sure that it was not an illusion, he still had an intuition, if this statue missed him, he would regret it for the rest of his life, this feeling Luo Zhuo had never had, he had seen countless treasures, but he was sure that he had never seen this statue.
"Although the specific age cannot be determined, the age of the statue will definitely not be later than the Northern and Southern Dynasties, so 60,000 is definitely worth the price, there is only one chance, please raise your card. "The auctioneer called many times in a row, and indeed no one raised a card, a thing that I don't know the origin of the carving seems to be very ordinary, although the people here have money, they will not spend it casually.
"Mr. Zhu, can I shoot too?" Luo Zhuo said to Zhu Siwei.
"Little brother, interested in this? Of course. Zhu Siwei smiled and motioned to the person next to him to hand Luo Zhuo a sign.
Luo Zhuo took the sign and held it up directly.
"The gentleman held up his sign. The auctioneer was worried about the failure of the auction, but when he saw someone holding up a card, he was overjoyed and said: "Sixty thousand for the first time, is there still anyone, is there still anyone?"
