Bang!
A Ming Dynasty night watch token appeared on the stand, and the auctioneer shouted: "Starting price: 100,000!"
Many people immediately bid:
"110,000!"
"120,000!"
"......"
Soon the price reached 220,000 before it stopped and was auctioned off by a collector.
The second auction item: Ming Dynasty Jade Guanyin, was auctioned off by a boss for 120,000 and given to his wife.
The third auction item...
......
......
The auction items were sold one by one, and the prices basically remained between 100,000 and 500,000! This auction was an ordinary conventional auction, not a fine auction, and there would be no precious auction items except for a few items at the bottom of the box.
Qin Jiang was very calm. He had no interest in antiques in both his previous life and this life.
He was not the kind of awesome protagonist in novels who could remember what antiques were found at every auction.
Besides, the antique business was too complicated, and if you really wanted to play with 18 million, you wouldn't even make a splash. Compared to antiques, he preferred real gold and platinum.
Of course, antiques are not completely off limits, for example: ancient swords, ancient knives, ancient crossbows!
Sharpened swords are illegal, but sharpened ancient swords are legal!
Modern crossbows are illegal, but ancient crossbows are legal!
...
"Next is the tenth item in this auction: Ming Dynasty Wanli official kiln: dragon-patterned bottle! Starting price: 100,000!"
Meng Yu was shocked when this item came out.
That's right.
The dragon-patterned bottle is his auction item. He took it from the family treasury when he left. Although it's nothing to the family, it's not good to auction off the ancestral items. But now he's been cut off from food by the family, and they don't give him any money. He heard that they're still making trouble, so he can't do anything about it.
He has to live!
Qin Jiang's eyes narrowed as he looked at the vase, then at Meng Yu. Is there a Meng family ancestral ring in the vase?
It is said that the Meng family believed that the ring was lost, and offered a sky-high price of 10 million to find it, but unfortunately it was not found. It was the biggest leak at the scene! Then it must be this vase (the ring inside the base!)
He looked at Meng Yu: "Do you know him?"
Meng Yu nodded awkwardly.
Qin Jiang winked at Zhu Zheng without saying anything, and Zhu Zheng nodded. When he heard the price had reached 200,000, he raised his placard:
"250,000!"
The whole place was silent after he finished speaking, and many bosses in the back stopped bidding: As the saying goes, there is no big or small in the auction, and only money determines the winner or loser, but it is said that this is not the way it is done, and there are still unspoken rules in this kind of local auction.
Most of those who can come to the auction are local bosses, and they naturally have their own positions. Moreover, Qin Jiang is different from those bosses. He has social attributes and is young and energetic. These bosses dare not offend him without absolute benefits.
Swipe! Swipe! Swipe!
All the bosses put down their placards, and even the few leading figures in the front did not choose to compete. The only remaining few bosses from other places were bidding ignorantly.
Zhu Zheng took the initiative to raise the price at Qin Jiang's instruction. In the end, several bosses didn't raise the price much, but Zhu Zheng raised it abruptly: "Five hundred thousand!"
The out-of-town bosses also saw something wrong and dared not raise the price, and this price was far higher than the vase itself.
At this time, many bosses looked at those out-of-town bosses with a bit of sarcasm, and couldn't help but whispered:
"How can the out-of-town guys be so brave? They dared to raise the price when Mr. Qin made his first bid, and even raised the price to eight hundred thousand, making Mr. Qin spend money in vain!"
"According to the legendary temper of this guy, I'm afraid these out-of-town bosses won't be sunk tonight."
"Maybe! A beating is inevitable..."
Obviously thought that the out-of-town bosses were going to be unlucky. After all, this vase was not worth eight hundred thousand, three hundred thousand or four hundred thousand at the maximum, but they asked several out-of-town bosses to pay the price. They even suspected that several out-of-town bosses were dragging their feet.
Above.
The auction staff were stunned. As insiders, they knew that there were agents in the auction, but they remembered that it was not these few.
Several draggers below were also stunned! I didn't hear that they had accomplices, what's going on! These days draggers are all on sale.
A moment later.
The auctioneer finally reacted:
"800,000 once!"
"800,000 twice!"
"800,000 three times!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Qin for winning the dragon-patterned vase. The staff will send the vase to him later." She smiled what she thought was a very friendly smile, for fear that Qin Jiang would also hate her.
...
Meng Yu was also stunned, looking at Qin Jiang and said: "Brother Jiang, you like this vase!"
Qin Jiang: "Normally!"
Meng Yu: "Then why auction it, it's mine, no... I'm not trying to fight, I mean it's my auction item."
Qin Jiang: "Yeah!"
Meng Yu: "It's not worth 800,000, I've heard that this thing is only 200,000 or 300,000, so... I'll return the money to you when they give me more money."
Qin Jiang: "A mere 800,000, and someone gave it to me!"Meng Yu: "Someone sent it? Who?"
He soon understood who it was.
He saw several staff members bringing vases to Qin Jiang and others, and the head manager said: "Hello, Mr. Qin, I am the manager of the Songjiang branch of Sihai Auction. I assure you that there is no trick in the auction just now, and none of our people are involved."
Obviously, he was also afraid that Qin Jiang would misunderstand. Auctions are also considered a half-gray industry, so he naturally dared not offend people like Qin Jiang. The whole Sihai may not be afraid of Qin Jiang, but this is just a branch.
Seeing that Qin Jiang's face was not angry or unhappy, he took out another gold card: "I specially applied for a card for Mr. Qin. In the future, you can directly enjoy VIP treatment at Sihai Auction."
After speaking, several staff members sent the vase to Qin Jiang's desk, pointing at the vase and said: "This is a Ming Dynasty dragon-patterned vase. It has been inspected and guaranteed to be authentic. There is an appraisal certificate from our Sihai. In addition, the auction fee of 800,000 yuan just now was paid by Mr. Hua, and it was the person next to him who paid it and said it was a gift to Mr. Qin."
He pointed to Zhou Hua's position next to him.
Zhou Hua picked up the wine glass on the table and nodded to Qin Jiang with a smile. His attitude of reconciliation was self-evident.
...
The manager's voice was not small, and the new auction items were not delivered quickly, so most of the bosses heard it.
He was shocked!
"Good guy! Is Qin Jiang so awesome? He slapped Huasheng Group in the face, and Huasheng boss Zhou Hua came to apologize in person."
"He spent 800,000 to buy a vase right away. Let's not talk about whether it's worth it, but he really gave enough face."
"I heard that Zhou Hua of Huasheng loves to make friends. It seems that these two bosses will make peace in the future."
As soon as these words came out.
The other bosses all nodded. They also thought that Zhou Hua had given Qin Jiang such a face, smiling, apologizing, and giving gifts in public in front of so many bosses.
This...
Who can resist taking advantage of the situation!
Besides, the two sides didn't have to fight to the death. They would definitely back down if they had a chance. It was a matter of social etiquette!
Just when all the bosses thought Qin Jiang would accept it with a smile.
Then.
Qin Jiang slowly stood up, grabbed the dragon-patterned bottle on the table, smiled at Zhou Hua, and naturally let go of his hand under everyone's incredulous gaze...
