"Everyone, our donation this time is mainly for educational work in mountainous areas. I hope everyone will actively bid for it to show the kindness of us Jiangcheng people."
The old man in Chinese tunic suit said with a smile:
"Okay, old man, let's stop talking nonsense and let's officially enter today's auction."
"I didn't expect that he would be invited to this charity party today."
Liu Ruoxi was slightly surprised.
"Who is he?" Xiao Tian didn't know this person, but of course he could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
"This is Mr. Yu, a famous appraiser in Jiangcheng. He is known as an eye-catcher. He can tell the authenticity of any collection just by looking at it."
Liu Ruoxi said:
"In fact, not only in Jiangcheng, but also in the whole of China, Mr. Yu is number one, but this old man also has a very weird temper. Many people have asked him to be a consultant, but he has dismissed it. Unexpectedly, tonight
coming."
"First, let's take a look at the first lot."
While talking, a staff member came up with a pen in his hand.
"My guests, this is a purple sand brush washer produced during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. It is 36 centimeters long. It is one of the great loves of the great scholar Zhang Tingyu."
"The starting bidding price for this sale is 800,000, and the price will increase by 100,000 each time."
"Nine hundred thousand!"
As soon as Mr. Yu finished speaking, someone shouted.
"one million!"
Soon, someone pressed down.
"One million and one hundred thousand."
"1.2 million."
"One million and three hundred thousand."
The price calls came one after another, and in less than a minute, the price was shouted at 1.3 million.
"1500000!"
At this time, a long voice sounded.
When everyone looked at him, they saw that he was a middle-aged man with a big belly.
The first bidder couldn't help but stand up:
"Fat Zheng, you are a nouveau riche. No one in your three generations can read. What are you trying to do?"
"It's just that if you put this baptism in your house, it is simply defiled."
This man's name was Zheng Hong, who was a contractor. Later, the country vigorously developed real estate, and he also bet all his wealth into it. Although he did not have good education and education, he also accumulated a lot of wealth with his character of daring to think and work hard.
However, although he is rich, he is still looked down upon by many business people in Jiangcheng because of his earthy look.
So as soon as he made a bid, and it was for a brush washer, one of the four treasures of the study, some people became angry.
"You don't care, this is an auction, you have the guts to bid!"
Zheng Hong curled his lips and said.
Although he didn't seem to care on the surface, he actually cared a lot in his heart.
He knows that what he lacks now is not money, but cultural heritage, so he must win this pen wash.
There are not many of these things, and they can be passed down to family members in the future!
"One million six hundred thousand."
"One million seven hundred thousand."
"One million and eight hundred thousand."
After Zheng Hong shouted out the price, no one continued to follow him.
To be honest, this one and a half million dollar wash has already come to an end. Those people just didn't want to see Zheng Hong get this money, so they continued to follow.
The key is Zheng Hong's attitude, he doesn't seem to care at all if they continue.
"First time in 1.8 million!"
"The second time of 1.8 million, is there anyone who will continue to follow?"
Mr. Yu looked around and saw that no one was raising a placard, so he directly dropped the hammer:
"One hundred and eighty million for the third time, deal done!"
Mr. Yu said with a smile.
There was a fierce battle for the first lot, and the value more than doubled. It seems that tonight's results will not be bad.
Of course, he is not a person who loves money, mainly because the donation this time is used to improve the lives and education of children in mountainous areas.
A year ago, he and an archaeological team went to a remote mountainous area and witnessed with his own eyes the scene of children who were hungry and had to study in leaky classrooms.
This was the first time he saw such a scene in reality. He felt sad and moved, so he decided to do something for these children.
Based on this motivation, he planned this charity dinner when he came back.
Of course, he didn't show up in name, but behind the scenes, he was always doing it himself.
By this time, the staff had already arrived on stage with the second lot.
"This is a lotus bowl from the Ru Kiln of the Song Dynasty. The Ru Kiln of the Song Dynasty is so precious that I don't think I need to introduce it anymore, right?"
Mr. Yu looked at the audience and smiled:
"The starting price for this lotus bowl is three million, and each time the price increases, it will still be one hundred thousand."
"Three and a half million!"
Immediately, a voice sounded.
Although this person added 500,000 yuan at once, no one said anything, because as Mr. Yu said, everyone knows how precious the Ru kiln in the Song Dynasty was.
If it can really be shot for 3.5 million, it will definitely be a huge profit!
As for whether it is true or false, with Mr. Yu’s endorsement, what else is there to doubt?
"four million!"
"Four, two million!"
"Four and a half million!"
"five million!"
"Five and a half million!"
"Six million!"
Although Mr. Yu said that the price would be increased by 100,000 each time, everyone's instinct was to increase the price to 500,000.
In the end, this Song Dynasty Ru kiln lotus bowl was auctioned by a lady for 6.5 million.
Although there were only two auctions, the atmosphere at the scene reached a climax.
The auction is still going on, and everyone is actively participating, and each item is being auctioned.
So far, a total of more than ten lots have been auctioned, and none of them have failed to sell, and the least one has been sold at 1.5 times the starting price.
Xiao Tian was not very interested in these auction items and only looked at them while chatting with Liu Ruoxi.
During this process, Liu Ruoxi actually spent 15 million to buy a Tang Sancai vase.
In fact, she doesn't really like it, she just wants to participate and do her best for the children in the mountainous area.
At this time, another auction item was brought up, which was a painting.
"Everyone, for this auction, we would first like to thank Mr. Ji Zheji. In order to support our charity dinner, Mr. Ji specially donated a painting that he has treasured for many years."
After hearing this, everyone became curious and wanted to know what kind of painting Ji Zhe presented.
Mr. Yu didn't let everyone guess for too long, he smiled mysteriously and said:
"This painting is Mr. Wuya's hiking picture."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked!
It turned out to be Mr. Wuya’s hiking map!
Mr. Wuya was a painter in the late Ming Dynasty. Although only a few of his paintings have survived, each of them is a treasure, especially this mountain scene, which is the most famous.
They didn't expect that what Mr. Ji presented was such a painting.
It’s really a big deal!
This courage alone is worthy of coming from the three major families!
Facing the shocked and admiring looks of everyone, Ji Zhe also felt infinitely glorious, and a lot of the previous unhappiness was cleared away.
His eyes couldn't help but look at Xiao Tian, full of teasing, as if to say:
"Boy, do you see that, compared to me, you are just dust in the corner. Even if you may occasionally stain my clothes, as long as I lightly dust them, they will immediately return to the ground."
