Chu Yang sat on a chair at the auction.

In his field of vision, a silver-white ball of light was hovering on the auction table 20 meters away, flashing an alluring light.

"Calm down, you must be calm."

Taking two deep breaths, Chu Yang kept reminding himself in his heart.

The more critical the moment, the more you need to be calm.

Now that the treasure from the treasure chest has appeared, Chu Yang is not in a hurry.

The time limit given by the system has only passed half, there is plenty of time to slowly grind it and take it.

In China, the category with the largest number of antiques is ceramics.

From pottery jars that existed in prehistoric civilization to modern Tang Sancai, Song white porcelain, Yuan blue and white porcelain, Ming Doucai, and Qing enamel, ceramics can be said to occupy half of the antique street in my country.

However, there are also disadvantages after the number is large, that is, there are many fakes, and the appreciation space is not that large.

Unless it is a particularly rare variety or produced by an official kiln, the transaction price of ceramics at a general auction will not be very different from the starting price.

Although the large covered jar No. 22 was produced by Longquan Kiln, Longquan Kiln is not an official kiln after all. There is nothing special about this large covered jar. It is just a mass-produced wine jar, so not many people are interested in it. Only three or four people are bidding.

"Mr. No. 27 bids 65,000 Hong Kong dollars. Is there anyone else?"

After three or four minutes, the price of this jar did not exceed 70,000.

Chu Yang felt that the time was almost up, so he raised the sign in his hand.

"Mr. No. 44 of No. 7 bids 68,000 Hong Kong dollars." The auctioneer pointed to the void.

Well, it didn't cause any sensation. After all, it was just an ordinary jar. No matter who took the bid on the spot, it would not attract attention.

After Chu Yang made the bid, 30 seconds later, someone raised the sign again.

"Mr. No. 27 bids 71,000 Hong Kong dollars."

Chu Yang immediately followed up, showing a momentum of determination to win.

"Okay, Mr. No. 44 bids 74,000 Hong Kong dollars."

After the auctioneer announced the price, he looked at No. 27 with an encouraging look.

This is a middle-aged man wearing a black shirt, with a bald head and a big neck, and a string of nanmu Buddhist beads hanging around his neck.

After looking at Chu Yang, the big neck ignored the auctioneer's gaze and shook his head slightly.

He is not stupid. He buys antiques for investment appreciation. This broken jar, the price of more than 70,000, will not rise back in 5 years. He is still fighting? His brain is crazy.

"The nouveau riche, the northerners are rich now, and they don't take money as money!"

Unable to compete in terms of handwriting, the big neck can only be furious in his heart.

Chu Yang doesn't care what he is thinking at all. As long as the things are in hand, let him talk about it.

But the man with glasses in front of him looked at Chu Yang twice, and his eyes kept drifting.

He seemed to be a little moved, but in the end he didn't raise the sign.

What if this little northern guy deliberately raised a sign again, tempted him to bid, and finally withdrew at a high price, then he would lose a lot.

The hundreds of thousands of dollars he had saved before had already been spent. If he was cheated again, he would lose his ass.

Thinking of the wearable horns locked in the bedside table of the curly-haired girl's benefactor, the man with glasses couldn't help but tighten his legs and feel a chill on his back.

"Scum~"

Chu Yang sneered and mocked with his mouth.

But the more he did this, the more cowardly the man with glasses became, feeling that the little northern guy was deliberately provoking him.

"I won't be fooled a second time. You are anxious, and you still want to trick me into taking over. 74,000, you can go beg for food with this broken jar." He said complacently.

After another half a minute, seeing that no one raised a sign, the auctioneer confirmed it three times and dropped the hammer.

"Congratulations to Mr. No. 44 for winning lot No. 22, a large covered jar from the Longquan kiln of the Ming Dynasty..."

"Huh~"

Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.

He finally won it without any danger, but he didn't know what secrets were in this jar.

The man with glasses who had been watching him saw him like this and thought he had spent a high price to buy a piece of junk and collapsed, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Sand coin!"

Chu Yang curled his lips and showed a wicked and crazy smile on his face.

If the BGM "The ten-year period has come, please return to the Dragon King" was added at this time, the effect would definitely be maximized.

...

The auction continued, and as the auction drew to a close, the prices of the items on the stage were getting higher and higher, and the competition among the bidders was getting more and more fierce.

Lot No. 30, Fu Baoshi's landscape painting, started at 650,000 and sold at 980,000.

Lot 31, Hetian white jade Buddha statue, starting price 780,000, sold for 1.1 million.

Lot 32, Qing Dynasty Nanmu carved dragon pattern painting box (a pair), starting price 800,000, sold for 1.2 million.

Although I didn't participate in the auction directly, I was able to experience the scene in person.It is quite refreshing to be in this atmosphere where money is not taken as money.

You should know that the average price of a house in Beijing is only over 10,000 yuan now. The transaction price of these antiques can be exchanged for a three-bedroom apartment in a good location in the capital.

(PS. I know someone will say, oh, you said earlier that Quanzhou is 7,000 or 8,000 yuan at this time, how can the average price in Beijing be only over 10,000 yuan, but this is the fact. Don't underestimate Quanzhou in the past. Without further ado, here is the picture!)

The Beijing housing price map in 2007 found on the Internet, the highest Gongti in Dongcheng is only 20,000 yuan, and the average price of more than 10,000 yuan is very reasonable!

Finally, the auction came to the final stage.

"Next, we will exhibit one of the two finale treasures of this auction. Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the first one, an ancient imperial tribute spice - a piece of ambergris, weighing 1854.2 grams."

"my country is the first country in the world to discover ambergris. As early as the Han and Tang Dynasties, ambergris was used as an imperial tribute spice in the palace. It was believed that this was the saliva of the "dragon" in the sea when it was sleeping. It dripped into the sea water and solidified. After a long time, it became "ambergris"..."

"No matter what the legend is, ambergris is still the rarest and most precious "fixative" in modern times. Only the top perfumes of luxury brands will add natural ambergris..."

At this point, the auctioneer's voice suddenly became high-pitched:

"So, everyone, such a rare and precious natural ambergris, its value does not need me to say more, the starting price is 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars, and each bid is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Please bid."

Up to now, the specifications of this auction are actually not high. There is no starting price exceeding seven figures, and it is not even qualified to be a "warm-up" for the autumn auction.

After all, the turnover of Sotheby's autumn auction is billions of Hong Kong dollars, and collections worth hundreds of thousands of dollars may not be eligible for auction.

But once the ambergris appeared, the specifications of this auction were raised instantly.

The collection worth 1.6 million is definitely a fine product in the autumn auction.

Many bigwigs at the scene were obviously also coming for the ambergris. Before the auctioneer had to wait too long, someone raised his hand to show his hand.

"Okay, Mr. No. 8 bids 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars!"

Chu Yang looked over and found that this was a blond and blue-eyed foreigner.

He remembered that Xia Tian had introduced this person to him. He was Charles Hayes, the vice president of Dior Asia, a real bigwig.

However, before the auctioneer could stop talking, Sha, who was wearing a white cloth in the first row, immediately put up a sign.

"3 million!"

He spoke with a very charming desert accent.

Chu Yang's heart suddenly shrank, and the whole person became better.

Now he just wanted to sing a song.

Finally I waited for you~ Fortunately I didn't give up~~~
