He Ziheng's face darkened when he heard this, and he was obviously very unhappy, but he couldn't refute it. Although he didn't know much about antiques, Feng Shui, etc., he still knew something about Yan Binghe, and knew that he dared to be number one in the industry.
No one dares to say second.
Therefore, he believed that no matter how powerful Lin Yu was, he would not be as powerful as Yan Binghe.
If he had to choose, he would choose Yan Binghe and not Lin Yu.
But this was his father's choice, and he had nothing to do.
Lin Yu didn't say much when he heard Yan Binghe's words. He just smiled lightly. After all, ability cannot be won with words.
Now even if he tells the truth, no one will believe him, so only the facts can tell the difference. Which one is strong and which one is weak can only be revealed in the auction in a while.
However, he felt a little confused in his heart. He heard He Ziqin's words before, and now he heard Chu Xilian's words. It seemed that this auction had particularly high requirements on appraisal ability.
But in an auction of this level, there is absolutely no chance of fakes. If you want to get what you want, you just need to increase the price. If you think the price is too high, just abandon the auction, so why are you still looking for it?
Where are the people to check it?!
Although he was confused, he didn't rush to ask. After all, a layman like He Ziheng couldn't ask anything. After a while, when the auction started, everything would be clear.
Not long after waiting, the auction was about to start. The fat butler with fair appearance walked to the front hall and shouted respectfully: "The auction venue is ready. Please enter the venue!"
"Let's go, Mr. He!"
He Ziheng quickly called Lin Yu to follow his father and elder brother.
Then He Ziheng took advantage of his father's chat with an old friend to pull He Ziqin back and whispered, "Brother, Yan Binghe is here too!"
"Master Yan is here too, where is he?!"
He Ziqin looked happy, and then looked around subconsciously.
"Brother, don't worry, listen to me." He Ziheng pulled his eldest brother helplessly and whispered, "Yan Binghe is not here to help us, he was invited here by the Chu family!"
"What?!"
He Ziqin's complexion changed, his face turned blue and white, then his face darkened, and he said helplessly: "It's over, it's over... this time this collection may belong to the Chu family!"
After all, their biggest competitor in this auction is the Chu family.
If other buyers had bid against the He family several times and knew that the He family was interested in this item, they would never dare to compete with the He family. But the Chu family was different. They would definitely not sell it to the He family because of their reputation.
I will definitely fight with the He family to the end.
And now that Yan Binghe is in the Chu family's camp, it's not certain whether the He family has a chance to compete with them.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in frustration, and looked at his father helplessly, wondering why his father was so confused this time.
"Brother, that's not certain. What if we are lucky and the election happens!" He Ziheng said hurriedly. He obviously did not believe in Lin Yu's ability.
"Luck is based on strength!"
He Ziheng glanced at him, said nothing, and then walked quickly to catch up with his father.
He Ziheng sighed slightly, and then walked up quickly.
Everyone followed the guide through the corridor and went straight to a large room at the back with a height of three to four meters. This room covered a large area and had the feel of a large auditorium. There was a rockery and a pool in front of the door.
, on both sides of the door are two stone lions half as tall as a man.
After entering the door, there is a huge ink painting screen. Going around the screen is a hall. The hall is filled with exquisitely crafted wooden tables and chairs, which can accommodate hundreds of people.
The staircase at the front of the hall was covered with a red carpet. There was a piece of exquisitely carved mahogany on the table. On the wall behind the table, there was a well-framed dark yellow landscape painting.
Lin Yu glanced at it casually, and then suddenly froze. He stared blankly at the landscape painting on the wall and was shocked. This painting was clearly a section of Gu Kaizhi's "Painting Yuntai Mountain", and it was definitely not an imitation or copy.
It's a genuine product!
An authentic painting of Gu Kaizhi is hanging in the middle of the hall so openly?! This is too bold!
Apart from "bold", Lin Yu could never think of a second word. If this was stolen, it would definitely be a huge loss.
But when he thought about it again, he felt that he had really thought too much. With the security in this manor, it would be difficult to steal anything from here!
"Please take your seats according to the sign on the table!" After the fat butler stepped up, he took the microphone and said to everyone with a smile.
Their ranking of positions was naturally based on the status of each participant. Big families like the He family and the Chu family naturally had to be in the first row.
Seemingly out of fear of the He family, the Chu family had a conflict over who should sit in the middle. The person who arranged the seats specially separated the He family and the Chu family on both sides, with an aisle in the middle.
Lin Yu followed Mr. He and He Ziqin and sat on the left side of the first row, while the Mr. Chu family and his children and grandchildren sat on the right side of the first row.
There were more people coming than those from the He family. Lin Yu didn't know a few of them, and knew that they were probably brothers and sisters of Chu Xilian or Chu Yunxi.
What surprised Lin Yu was that people from the Zhang family also came this time!
It was the brothers Zhang Youan and Zhang Yousi who came, and they also came with the three brothers Zhang Yihong, Zhang Yitang and Zhang Yiting. They were sitting in the row behind the Chu family. The two brothers Zhang Youan and Zhang Yousi were happily chatting with the old man of the Chu family.
Chu Xilian was chatting eagerly about something, and they seemed to have a very close relationship.
Lin Yu thought of the previous marriage between the Zhang family and the Chu family, and was not surprised by their relationship.
Thinking of marriage, Lin Yu couldn't help but think of the picturesque-looking young lady from the Chu family. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He hadn't seen her in some days and didn't know how she was doing recently.
"On behalf of my family master, I warmly welcome everyone!"
At this time, the fat butler took the microphone and continued, "First of all, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my master. Because he is currently abroad, he cannot come back to receive you in person. Please forgive me!"
"How dare we blame the old gentleman? As long as the collection agreed before can continue to be auctioned!"
At this moment, someone below immediately shouted to the stage, and others immediately followed suit. After all, the main purpose of their coming today was to collect the collection, but after all, their voices were very restrained, firstly because they themselves were
High-quality people, and the second reason is that anyone sitting here is either rich or noble, so no matter how high they think they are, they don't dare to be presumptuous.
"Auction, of course it has to be auctioned, otherwise what would we do if we organized this auction!" The fat butler said with a smile, "It's still the old practice. In this auction, we are just a third party, not the seller, and we
We won’t draw a penny of dividends, just to provide a free platform for everyone. After you finish shooting, just remember our family owner!"
"That's natural. We will definitely never forget the old gentleman!"
The people below also echoed and said.
Lin Yu was really startled when he heard the fat butler's words. He originally thought that the owner of this manor held such an auction to make a profit, but he didn't expect that he would not take any penny, and the venue and services seemed to be free.
Judging from the scale of this auction, from an economic point of view, the old gentleman will not only lose money, but also suffer serious losses. But on the other hand, he has made a profit, and a huge profit at that!
Being able to make the most famous people in the capital remember him as a favor and owe him a favor is much more cost-effective than any big bonus!
Now Lin Yu finally knew why the head of the family was able to occupy such a large piece of land in the capital.
"Without further ado, today's auction will officially begin. First of all, we invite our first auction item today, a masterpiece from the Ming Dynasty - Golden Cicada and Jade Leaf!"
The fat butler said with a smile.
Golden Cicada and Jade Leaf?!
Lin Yu was also startled, with shock on his face. You must know that this golden cicada and jade leaf was a national treasure unearthed from Wufeng Mountain. Why did it appear at this auction?!
After hearing "Golden Cicada and Jade Leaf", everyone present was in an uproar and excited. Obviously they were looking forward to this national treasure collection.
Soon, the etiquette lady in the audience came over with a tray. The tray was covered with a glass cover. On the black wooden table under the glass cover was a golden cicada and jade leaf!
Lin Yu opened his eyes and took a closer look, and saw that the golden cicada and jade leaf looked slightly different from the national treasure that had been unearthed, but it was full of green light and was clearly an authentic product! And it was a top-notch authentic product! There was no trace of it at all.
Less than the unearthed national treasure!
Lin Yu suddenly felt his heart agitated and asked hurriedly: "Master He, the finale of today's auction you are talking about is this treasure, right?!"
Only then did he realize that no wonder He Ziqin was so impatient. It turned out that the items in this auction were really amazing.
But to his surprise, He Ziheng shook his head and said, "No!"
no?!
Lin Yu was shocked again. This was already a national treasure, but it was not the ultimate treasure they said?!
