I am doing well in the Siheyuan
Chapter 230 Something is wrong
"..."
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred and one thousand!"
The bidders below the stage made their bids in an orderly manner. Several of those who raised their placards had a straw rope tied discreetly around their wrists.
In the end, this imitation Ge-glazed water chestnut flat bottle from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty was sold for 360,000 yuan, and the winner happened to have a seemingly ordinary straw rope tied around his wrist.
As the auction heated up, the atmosphere became more and more heated. Guan's father and mother also participated in the bidding several times, but failed to get what they wanted.
Li Huaide's heart was filled with undercurrents as he heard the bids one after another.
Compared with the last auction, this one was obviously more lively. If the third auction is held, Foley Auction House will surely present another unprecedented scene.
The items on display on the stage are a mixture of real and fake, which is even bolder than the last combination of seven real and three fake items.
However, Li Huaide did not care about this, because these counterfeits were all made by Cheng Jianjun and were all fine products, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to distinguish their authenticity.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong!"
At the auction site, Hou Paolang couldn't stop shaking his head. The more he watched the auction, the more strange it seemed to him.
It seems as if there is an invisible hand controlling everything behind the scenes.
The bidding sounds were somewhat regular, and the porcelain pieces looked familiar, as if they could be found in major museums.
"They are so unscrupulous, no wonder you want to take action against them. If you let them go, there will only be endless troubles!"
Uncle Guan was also deeply worried. Unlike Hou Polan, he had long been aware of the problems at the auction house. He originally thought that it was just a minor incident, but now it seemed that the other party was using the auction house to do evil.
The auction is gradually entering its climax.
"Next, the final treasure of this auction will be on the stage. Please look forward to the appearance of Yuan blue and white porcelain!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent.
Everyone still remembers the last Yuan blue and white porcelain that failed to sell at auction.
When four hostesses steadily carried the Yuan blue and white porcelain into the center of the venue, the atmosphere instantly became lively.
"Isn't this the Yuan blue and white porcelain that we identified as a fake last time?" Seeing this, Polan Hou wanted to stand up, but was stopped in time by Uncle Guan and Ye Ming.
After a moment, he suddenly realized.
"I understand. I know the purpose of your trip!"
Marquis Paola whispered to himself and did not reveal the truth he had guessed to everyone. After all, there was a crowd of people gathered at the moment, and although no one was paying special attention to them, it was still better to be cautious.
"You have set up a net, but what are you asking me and Master Guan to do?"
Hou Lalan was still somewhat puzzled.
"He needs a fisherman who is not responsible for catching the fish, but just showing up."
Uncle Guan saw that Hou Paolan had understood his intention, so he implicitly solved the mystery.
"Fisherman?"
Hou Laolan repeated the role.
"It's a big chess game, but the opponent has to blame himself. Playing such tricks in front of us is just showing off one's skills in front of an expert!"
Marquis Tattered sighed and refocused his attention on the auction table.
Ye Ming's expression remained calm from beginning to end.
The auction is coming to an end, but this is just the beginning for the entire layout.
"As we all know, blue and white porcelain originated in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Yuan Dynasty. Experts have confirmed that the Yuan blue and white porcelain on display today is indeed authentic.
Last year at the Great Britain auction, a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain was sold for as much as 1.2 million pounds. The starting price of this piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain is 3 million Chinese yuan, and each bid increase must not be less than 100,000. "
"three million!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone raised his number plate to bid.
Subsequently, several more people joined the competition and the price soared to five million.
"Five million for the first time, five million for the second time, five million for the third time, deal!"
"clang!"
The hammer fell and the deal was done!
"Congratulations to bidder No. 67 for successfully bidding for this Yuan blue and white porcelain with million Chinese Yuan..."
As the host announced the end of the auction, the auction feast also came to an end.
“I didn’t expect that piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain would actually be sold at auction!”
Uncle Liu watched the host drop the gavel and felt deeply moved.
I didn’t have high hopes for this Yuan blue and white porcelain last time, but I didn’t expect that at the second auction, the antique that had been unsold was sold again at a high price.
The value of this deal is almost half of his net worth!
"Uncle, Mr. Li will definitely hold a banquet to celebrate. We can suggest that he choose to hold it at Jinrui Pavilion!"
Su Meng suddenly had an idea and made a suggestion.
"Yes, you are very thoughtful. This is a good time to get closer to us!"
Uncle Liu nodded in agreement, thinking that Su Meng's idea was indeed brilliant this time.
At this moment, Li Huaide was immersed in joy. If he was invited to hold a celebratory banquet in Jinrui Pavilion, he would definitely accept it with pleasure.
During this conversation, Ye Ming quietly walked away with the crowd.
"See? That's our dad!"
This time, Guan's father clearly recognized Uncle Guan and quickly pulled Guan's mother to point him out to him.
"It's really him. I wonder why the old man came here?"
Mother Guan couldn't help but frown as she watched Grandpa Guan's figure gradually disappear into the distance.
"Don't worry about him for now. We spent a million dollars to buy that blue-glazed hexagonal vase from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. We have to get this treasure first!"
Soon, Mrs. Guan shifted her attention away from Grandpa Guan and focused on the antiques they had just obtained.
"Yes, the first priority is to get the antiques!"
Guan's father also agreed, and the two of them worked together to buy the porcelain at a price four hundred thousand higher than the market price. Although they paid a lot, they still felt that it was worth it.
Yan Jiefang pulled Yu Li and prepared to leave the auction house.
He was able to witness this feast thanks to an unexpected invitation. Although he was unable to purchase anything due to his limited financial resources, it was still an eye-opener.
"Do you know that the Doucai dragon-patterned flower-mouth vase from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty is also very valuable? It was fought over by so many people and was eventually sold at a high price!"
Yan Jiecheng showed off to Yu Li with a proud look on his face, acting as if he was well versed in the ins and outs of this.
"Just be happy!"
Yu Li gave Yan Jiecheng a disdainful look and said no more. In her heart, she had already accepted the value of the bottle.
In the bustling Dashilan district, a restaurant called "Youjian Yaji" gathers many wealthy people who have returned from the Foley auction house with a lot of money.
"Mr. Ye, this is the willow leaf vase with red glaze from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that you bought. The transaction price is 390,000. Please keep it!"
A middle-aged man in formal attire walked into the office of "Youjian Yaji" and immediately handed over the brocade box in his hand respectfully when he saw Ye Ming.
"Thank you. I will transfer the money to you later. There are many people you know here. Please find a seat to eat. I may be busy today and I am afraid I cannot accompany you."
