Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 711 The auction begins

Anyway, I did him a favor once, so I didn't say thank you, and now I have to find him for something, so I have to try his skills first.

But he also knew in his heart that a person of Li Qiubai's status would not care about the thoughts of such a small person at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang clenched his fists secretly, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must become a real person of status in Linshui City!

Soon, with the sound of footsteps, the voices in the hall suddenly decreased a lot. Everyone stopped chatting and looked at the stage intently, with anticipation in their eyes.

I saw a middle-aged man striding towards the door. Behind him were several strong men carrying a glass cabinet. The glass cabinet was covered with a black cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

After they carried the glass cabinets to the stage, several waves of strong men came in carrying the glass cabinets. It was not until more than a dozen glass cabinets were placed on the stage that the strong men retreated, leaving the middle-aged man standing alone on the stage. superior.

Zhao Gang could roughly guess that the glass cabinet at the back should contain the items to be auctioned this time, and this middle-aged man should be the auctioneer this time.

In order to protect the safety of the auction items, most auction houses store the items in the vault and only take them out when it is the turn of the auction.But right now, these dozen glass cabinets range from large to small, and all the items to be auctioned today should be inside.

This is the first time Zhao Gang has seen such an auction.

What he didn't know was that in this underground ghost city there was a mix of fish and dragons, and there were many people with bloody hands, but no one dared to cause trouble in this place, because those who dared to cause trouble in this place had already been sent to see the King of Hades.

"My friends, everyone and me, Qiu Wei, should be old acquaintances. I won't say too many polite words, but before the auction, I still have to make the rules clear, so as not to cause unpleasant troubles for both parties and hurt for nothing. Feelings!"

Standing on the stage, Qiu Wei glanced at the visitors below with a serious expression. After seeing that everyone was paying attention, he said loudly: "First, there is no starting price for all the lots, and don't ask about the origin. Second, you are not allowed to take pictures and record them. , Nothing that flows out from here must flow overseas!"

"If someone doesn't abide by these three iron rules, I will do my best, and I will make him pay an unbearable price!"

After all, Qiu Wei exuded a sinister aura that permeated the entire hall, and he didn't change his expression until the guests below agreed, and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Gang quite agrees with the third point. Although everyone has their own interests, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang. The treasures passed down from their ancestors cannot flow into the hands of foreigners. No matter whether it is black or white, this is the bottom line of the antique trade!
"Let's get started, Brother Qiu, I heard that there are a lot of strange things this time!" Li Qiubai laughed loudly.

Qiu Wei nodded, with a mysterious smile on his face: "Sure enough, Young Master Li is well-informed, let's start first, you read one by one, and I promise not to disappoint you."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the eyes of the rest of the people also lit up.

"Let's take a look at the first one, the gilt copper inlaid with hundreds of treasures, and the six-armed Mahakala statue!"

Qiu Wei lifted the black cloth of the first glass cabinet, and saw a dark golden statue in the glass cabinet, whose shape was completely different from that of the middle-earth god.With three faces and six arms, holding a gun horizontally, wearing a human head on one end, and a human body on the other end, there is a portrait of a painful expression under his feet. The whole statue looks strange and indescribable.

Mahakala was originally a deity in the religion. After Buddhism was introduced, it was included in Tibetan Buddhism as the god of battle and worshiped by people.According to Tibetan legends, Mahakala was transformed when the Great Sun Tathagata descended from the demons, and it was transformed by the Buddha's anger. Its mana is above the gods, and it is the lord of death in the Saha world.

Because Mahakala is regarded as the God of War and also known as the God of Wealth, in recent years, many business people have enshrined a shrine of Mahakala in their homes to bless them with invincibility in the shopping malls and wealth.

This six-armed statue of Mahakala is in excellent condition, and every detail of the carving is exquisite. Different from the carving techniques in the Central Plains that pursue freehand brushwork, the carving pays more attention to realism, carving Mahakala's ferocious expression lifelike, and dotted with it. The treasures give the statue a bit more power.

"Everyone can come up and take a look. If anyone is interested, you can bid directly." Qiu Wei said loudly.

The people who can come here are more or less unclean in business, so most of them are very interested in the somewhat evil gods like Daheitian, and there are not a few people who come to the stage to check.

Zhao Gang narrowed his eyes, the appearance of this Daheitian was very good, he himself wanted to go up and open his eyes, but Li Qiubai sat on the sidelines and drank tea by himself, obviously a little bit less interested in this Daheitian, it seemed is waiting for something behind.

After all, he is the person invited by Li Qiubai, and it is not good for him to do it alone.

"180 million!" A rich man with a square head and big ears spoke first.

In this place, there is no so-called auction reserve price, but they are all experienced veterans, and there is only a slight difference between the opening price and the market price.

"190 million!"

"200 million!"

. . . . . .

"390 million!"

When the price was increased to this price, the voice of bidding gradually died down, and when the venue was quiet, Qiu Wei stood up and said loudly: "Wang Dong, this gold-plated black sky is yours!"

The rich man named Wang Dong smiled faintly, took Daheitian out of the glass cabinet, put it in the safe he brought, and walked off the stage.

Zhao Gang reckoned that the actual price of this statue of the Tibetan god should be higher, and it was a small mistake to be able to get it at this price.

The first thing came to the fore, and the atmosphere of auction competition gradually permeated, and everyone talked and laughed a lot less.

Qiu Wei lifted the black cloth of the second glass cabinet, revealing the treasure's true face.

"The second lot is a Song Dynasty blood jade safety buckle!"

A ring-shaped jade pendant in the shape of a copper coin is quietly placed in the glass cabinet, with a sleek shape and a warm color. The bright red jade looks very transparent under the strong light, and the rich blood color in it is like a gorgeous oil painting. People can't help but feel excited.

Blood jade!Zhao Gang frowned, this is only the second lot, and this kind of thing can be produced?
Now even Li Qiubai turned his head, staring at the lot in the glass cabinet with great interest, his face was full of smiles.He had received the news a long time ago that there were some tricks in this auction, but he didn't expect that this was only the second item, and the treasure would be out.

"Blood Jade Safety Buckle!"

"There was also a piece at Sotheby's autumn auction last time. I spent 800 million and missed it. I didn't expect to see it here!"

"The quality of this stone is definitely much better than the one in the autumn auction!"

"Rare treasure!"
