He Ziheng's expression became dark when he heard this, obviously very unhappy, but he could not refute it. Although he didn't know much about antiques, Feng Shui, etc., he still had some understanding of Yan Binghe and knew that he dared to be the best in the industry.
No one dares to say second.
So he believes that no matter how powerful Lin Yu is, he is not as powerful as Yan Binghe.
If he had asked him to choose, he would have chosen Yan Binghe and would not have chosen Lin Yu.
But this was his father's choice, and he had no choice.
Lin Yu didn't say much when he heard Yan Binghe's words, but just smiled faintly. After all, such things as abilities cannot be fought for by words.
Even if he talks a little, no one will believe him. So only facts can tell the difference, which one is stronger, and only a short time can the truth be seen.
However, he felt a little confused in his heart. He heard He Ziqin's words before, but now he heard Chu Xilian's words. It seems that this auction requires particularly high appraisal capabilities.
But there is absolutely no fakes at auctions of this level. If you want to buy what you want, you just need to increase the price. If you think the price is high and you just abandon the auction, why do you still have to look for it if you want it?
Are people here to check?!
Although he was confused, he didn't rush to ask. After all, there was nothing he could ask from an amateur like He Ziheng. When the auction began, everything would be clear.
After waiting for a while, the auction was about to begin. The fat butler who had a 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, while his father was chatting with an old friend, He Ziheng pulled He Ziqin backwards and whispered, "Brother, Yan Binghe is here too!"
"Master Yan is here too, where is it?"
He Ziqin looked happy, and then subconsciously looked around.
"Brother, don't worry, listen to me." He Ziheng pulled his elder brother helplessly and whispered, "Yan Binghe was not here to help us, he was invited by the Chu family!"
"What?!"
He Ziqin's face changed, his face turned pale, and then his face became dark, and he said helplessly: "It's over... This time this collection may be the Chu family!"
After all, at this auction, their biggest competitor was the Chu family.
If other buyers bid for the He family for a few times, they knew that their He family liked this thing and would never dare to compete with the He family, but the Chu family would be different. They would definitely not sell the He family's face.
I will definitely compete with the He family to the end.
And now Yan Binghe has stood in the Chu family's camp, and it is not certain whether their He family has the chance to compete with others.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh despairfully, and looked at his father helplessly, not understanding why his father was so confused this time.
"Brother, maybe that's right. What if we're lucky and the election is coming!" He Ziheng said hurriedly. He obviously didn't believe in Lin Yu's ability.
“Luck is based on strength!”
He Ziheng glanced at him, didn't say anything, and then quickly walked over and caught up with his father.
He Ziheng sighed slightly, then walked up quickly.
Everyone guided through the corridor and walked to a large room with a height of three or four meters in the back. The floor area of this house is very large, and it feels like an auditorium. There are rockery and pools in front of the door.
On both sides of the door are two stone lions half a person tall.
After entering the door, there is a huge ink painting screen. Bypassing the screen, there is a hall. The hall is filled with exquisitely crafted wooden tables and chairs, which can accommodate hundreds of people to sit down.
The ladder at the front of the hall is covered with a red carpet, with a delicately carved mahogany on the table, and a well-mounted landscape painting with dark yellow tones hanging on the wall behind the table.
Lin Yu glanced casually, then suddenly was stunned, staring at the landscape painting on the wall in a daze. This painting is a passage from Gu Kaizhi's "A Record of Painting Yuntai Mountain", and it is definitely not an imitation or copy.
The product is a genuine product!
A genuine work of Gu Kaizhi was actually hanging openly in the center of this hall?! This is too bold!
Apart from "bold", Lin Yu absolutely cannot think of the second word. If this is stolen, it will definitely be a huge loss.
But when he thought about it, he felt that he was really thinking too much. With the security in this manor, it would be difficult to steal things from here!
"Please sit down according to the sign on the table!" After the fat butler walked up, he smiled at everyone with a microphone.
Their ranking of positions is naturally based on the identity of each participant. Big families like the He family and the Chu family naturally have to be ranked first.
It seemed that they were afraid of the He family. Because of who was sitting in the middle, the Chu family specially divided the He family and the Chu family on both sides, and there was an aisle between them.
Lin Yu followed Mr. He and He Ziqin and others to the left of the first row, while the old man of the Chu family and his children and grandchildren sat on the right of the first row.
There were more people coming to the He family than the He family. There were several Lin Yu who didn’t know each other. They knew that they were mostly brothers and sisters of Chu Xilian or Chu Yunxi.
What surprised Lin Yu was that the people from the Zhang family came this time!
The two brothers Zhang You'an and Zhang Youwei came, and the three brothers Zhang Yihong, Zhang Yitang and Zhang Yiting were also here. They were sitting in the row behind the Chu family. The two brothers Zhang You'an and Zhang Youwei were excited to talk to the old man of the Chu family and
Chu Xilian was talking eagerly about something, and it seemed that the relationship was very close.
Lin Yu thought of the previous marriage between the Zhang family and the Chu family, so he didn't feel strange about their relationship.
Thinking of marriage, Lin Yu couldn't help but think of the picturesque lady of the Chu family. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He hadn't seen her for some days, and he didn't know how she was doing recently.
"On behalf of my head of the family, I warmly welcome everyone!"
At this time, the fat butler continued with the microphone, "First of all, I apologize to you for my head of the family. Because he is now abroad, he can't come back to receive you personally. Please forgive me!"
"How dare we blame the old man? As long as the collection that we had agreed to continue to be auctioned!"
At this time, someone below immediately shouted at the stage, and the others immediately agreed. After all, their main purpose was to collect the items today. However, no matter how you say it, their voices were very restrained, because they were
The second is that the people who sit here are either rich or noble, so no matter how high their status is, they dare not be at all presumptuous.
"Auctions, of course, all have to be auctioned, otherwise what did we do in this auction?" The fat housekeeper said with a smile, "It's still the old practice. At this auction, we are just a third party, not a seller, and we
No penny bonus is drawn, just to provide everyone with a free platform. After you finish shooting, just remember our home owner!”
"That's natural, we will definitely not forget the old man!"
The people below also echoed.
Lin Yu was really stunned when he heard the fat butler's words. He thought that the owner of this manor held such an auction for profit, but he didn't expect that he would not take any money, and the venue and services seemed to be free.
Judging from the scale of this auction, in terms of economic terms, the old man from the head of the family will not only lose money, but also suffer a serious loss. But on the other hand, he made a profit, and he made a big profit!
It is much more cost-effective to make the top nobles in the capital remember him and owe him a favor than the greatest bonus!
Now Lin Yu finally knew why this head of the family occupied such a large area of land in the capital.
"Without saying much, our auction today officially began. First, we invite our first auction item today, the ultimate masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty - Golden Cicada Jade Leaf!"
The fat butler said with a smile.
Golden cicada and jade leaves?!
Lin Yu was also stunned, with a shock on his face. You know, this golden cicada jade leaf was a national treasure unearthed from Wufeng Mountain back then. Why did it appear at this auction?!
After hearing the "Golden Cicada Jade Leaf", everyone sitting was also in an uproar and excited. It was obvious that they were looking forward to this national treasure-level collection.
Soon, the etiquette lady from the audience came over with a tray, which was covered with a glass cover. The black wooden platform under the glass cover was a golden cicada and jade leaf!
Lin Yu opened his eyes and looked carefully. He saw that the golden cicada and jade leaves looked a little different from the national treasure that was unearthed, but the whole body was full of green light. It was a genuine product! And it was a top-notch authentic product! It was not at all.
As good as the unearthed national treasure!
Lin Yudun felt agitation and asked hurriedly: "Master He San, what you are talking about today's finale of the auction is the treasure you refer to?!"
Only then did he realize that no wonder He Ziqin was so anxious. It turned out that the things at this auction were indeed 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 mentioned?!
