Chapter 5 The Bidding Begins

A bronze statue with a height of fifty centimeters, a length of nearly one meter, and a width of about thirty centimeters appeared in front of everyone.

As Lin Mo just introduced, this bronze statue is lifelike and looks like Qiongqi, one of the four great beasts in China, especially the charm and aura that have been accumulated in the history of the statue. How many people worshiped in awe can form such a natural foundation.

After seeing this statue, many people made a sound of admiration and shock.

"Bronze ware is rare, and there are even fewer bronze statues that can be preserved so well."

"This aura is definitely not something hidden in the soil. It must be something that has been rubbed and worshiped every day for thousands of years."

"Where did this thing come from? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the one in the British Museum."

"Hey, have you forgotten the rules here? Don't ask where you came from."

"Yes, yes, I forgot about this one."

After seeing everyone's reaction, a smile appeared on Lin Mo's face. These people really couldn't tell the authenticity of the statue. It seems that the kid really has some skills. Famous collectors in the antique world can't tell the truth from the fake.

"Everyone, if anyone wants to know, please come here and line up for appraisal." Lin Mo said.

Whether the things sold here in Jun Mowen is true or not depends on one's own eyesight. Once sold, even if it is fake, you can only suffer from it yourself.Therefore, every time something appears, those who come to participate in the bidding are qualified to step forward to appraise it.

"Sister Tao, let me go and have a look." Wang Xiaohu said.When he saw the bronze statue for the first time, he was also shocked. This thing is so perfect. As an appraiser, he felt at the first sight that this thing is absolutely impossible to be fake. of.As the saying goes, it is difficult to draw bones when painting tiger skin. This so-called bone is a kind of charm. No matter how similar the shape of the tiger is drawn, the tiger on the paper cannot carry the fear of the king of the forest. momentum.

The same goes for antiques. No matter how similar the appearance of the textile to the original, it will still lack the charm of nature and history.

But even so, as an appraiser, the most important thing is not to be deceived by one's own eyes, because in many cases, the information that the eyes can receive is only a part of all information sources. It is equivalent to blocking the other four senses.

Only by seeing a thing with the eyes, hearing it with the ears, and perceiving it with the heart can we understand the whole picture.

"Well, go and have a look. If this thing is real, we must bid to buy it." Tao Shilin clenched her hands into fists.

Now Jingbao Pavilion is in a critical period of development. Tao Shilin wants Jingbao Pavilion to participate in the annual "Shengpin Auction". To be eligible for the "Product Auction", one needs at least one treasure worth at least tens of millions.

In the current Jingbao Pavilion, the treasure of the town pavilion is only 500 million, so Tao Shilin attaches so much importance to the bronze statue, and would rather auction it off at all costs.

Wang Xiaohu walked towards the bronze statue, and when he was about to be firm, he was pushed aside by Lin Mo, and said, "Why are you joining in the fun? Didn't you see that Mr. Li is going to be appraised?"

Li Hannian walked towards the statue, and those who were appraising them all stepped aside. Even Wang Xiaohu didn't say much, because in this industry, if an older appraiser wants to appraise a treasure, the younger appraiser usually has to be courteous. This is one of the unwritten rules that every appraiser follows.

In the presence, there was no appraiser with a higher seniority than Li Rongnian.

Walking to the side of the bronze statue, Li Rongnian took out a magnifying glass and began to pretend to think about whether an antique is real or not. In fact, it is similar to seeing a doctor in traditional Chinese medicine. After looking at the bronze statue once, he showed a surprised expression, and said, "I'm going to say that the thing is fake, and you probably won't believe it. I'll offer 500 million!"

As soon as this remark fell, everyone on the spot erupted.

"Genuine, it really is genuine! My judgment is correct hahaha."

"You judge the size, you judge, this thing, as long as you are not blind, you can see that it is genuine!"

"What do you mean, you mean you can go to you, you don't need Mr. Li to be firm?"

"Mr. Li is definitely right! In the past ten years, Mr. Li has never missed a single antique."

"In 2009, 300 million yuan was auctioned, and now I'm afraid the price will be even higher!"

Looking at the boiling venue, Lin Mo looked at Li Rongnian and Han Zhen, and the three of them smiled at each other. Their goal had been achieved. All the collectors present firmly believed that this antique was real. The next step was Lured Tao Shilin into the set.

Lin Mo coughed, and said: "Since Mr. Li bid 500 million, let's follow the old rules. Each increase cannot be less than [-]%, that is to say, each increase cannot be less than [-]. Everyone, let's start!" Make a bid."

Although the bidding has started, many people still maintain a wait-and-see attitude. It is true that they are rich people who have spare money to collect antiques, but 500 million is not a small amount after all.

Seeing that no one bid, Han Zhen raised his hand and said, "I, I offer 550 million! I believe Mr. Li is right."

Li Rongnian gave a wry smile. This time, in order to get Tao Shilin into the set, he even invested in his own reputation. However, he is also at this age anyway, and it is understandable that he misjudged one or two things, but it is not guaranteed at night. , made him a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Han Zhen also bid, those rich people finally couldn't hold back.

A middle-aged man immediately raised his hand and said, "This thing looks really pleasing, and I offer 560 million."

"I, I, I'll offer 600 million!" An old man said in a trembling voice, it was obvious that he mustered up a lot of courage to throw out 600 million in one breath.

"620."

"650 million..."

The bidding is going on, and the price of the bronze statue is also rising, and it will soon reach 750 million.

After reaching this price, only Han Zhen and Li Rongnian were left to compete.

When Han Zhen's bid reached 770 million, Li Rongnian had already begun to hesitate, and the speed of bidding slowed down, but Han Zhen was still very decisive. People have to marvel that Han Zhen is worthy of being the steward of the Wang family. It's rich and powerful.

Tao Shilin was already a little anxious. If she didn't make an offer, it is estimated that the bronze statue would be bought by Han Zhen for 770 million.

But Wang Xiaohu still didn't respond, and didn't give her an accurate judgment.

Finally Tao Shilin couldn't hold it anymore, raised her hand and said, "800 million!"
