Besides, with such a large amount of money, he can do many things.
However, he was not a money-grubber, so he only treated Shen Beichen for a few hours.
"Mr. Shen, you gave me too much money."
"You want me to go with you, no problem."
Chen Ping agreed, and Shen Beichen was very happy.
"Doctor Chen is so happy, let's go now."
The car passed through the downtown area and entered a large villa at the edge of the city.
At the gate of the villa, there were four tall men in black suits standing, who should be responsible for guarding the door.
After these people saw Shen Beichen, they all bowed respectfully to say hello.
"Hello, Mr. Shen."
"Mr. Shen, please come in."
The door opens.
Chen Ping followed Shen Beichen, Tang Bei and the others and walked in.
Inside the villa, there was a buzz of people and the auction was in progress.
At this time, Shen Beichen, who was walking in front, introduced Chen Ping with a smile: "Dr. Chen, actually tonight's auction is not a regular auction."
"There are a few powerful local masters on the road who have acquired treasures and will hold an internal auction on the fifth day of every month."
"Today happens to be the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, and there will be big items appearing soon."
Shen Beichen said, looking at his watch, "There are still five minutes until eleven o'clock."
"Dr. Chen, just follow me for a while. You don't need to do anything else."
Chen Ping nodded, "No problem."
A few people just walked into the hall.
A middle-aged fat man wearing leopard print short-sleeves came over and greeted Shen Beichen, Tang Bei and Shen Lulu with a smile.
"Mr. Shen, Brother Tang, Lulu, you are finally here."
"The large-ticket auction is about to begin. I heard that Mr. Shen is seriously ill and is hospitalized. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to come."
The speaker's name is Lu Bin, he is fifty-five years old and is well-known in the jade industry in Huai County.
Because this person is very good at betting on stones, and he is basically 90% sure.
"Uncle Lu, my grandpa has no serious illness. He just went to the hospital for a check-up." Shen Lulu said, looked next to Lu Bin, and asked, "It's so lively today, isn't Si Niang here?"
The Siniang mentioned by Shen Lulu is Lu Bin’s daughter, Lu Siniang.
Lu Siniang's real name is Lu Ying. This little girl has been heroic since she was a child, capable of literary and military skills, and loves to make friends.
She has the demeanor of the heroine Lu Siniang.
Later, her father Lu Bin directly changed her name to Lu Siniang.
"My little girl, Si Niang, is busy with the stone gambling competition the day after tomorrow, so she won't be able to come up tonight."
"However, Mr. Shen will be invited to take charge of the stone gambling conference the day after tomorrow."
Shen Beichen smiled and said, "I heard that Siniang's stone gambling skills are so good that she is better than anyone else. Of course I have to go and see it."
The two walked while talking and came to the rostrum in the center of the hall.
Chen Ping has been following Shen Beichen and Tang Bei without saying a word.
Of course, people here don’t know Chen Ping, and they all think he is just a small role doing odd jobs.
It's eleven o'clock in the evening.
On the rostrum, two old men wearing Chinese tunic suits suddenly appeared.
One of them, an old man in a white Chinese tunic suit, took a microphone and shouted to the people in the audience: "Dear Tibetans, the highlight of tonight is about to begin."
"Before we start the auction, let me give you a brief introduction."
"Lao Hei and I brought a total of three treasures today."
"Please use your ability to appraise and bid."
"The one with the highest price will get it, and the sale will not be refunded."
"First of all, please give me the first treasure."
The old man said and retreated to the rostrum.
Two beauties in cheongsam walked out pushing a square glass table over one meter high.
At this time, Shen Beichen introduced Chen Ping.
"Dr. Chen, the glass cabinet that the two waiters pushed out is made of bulletproof special glass and is specially designed to store some valuable items."
"The old man who spoke on the stage just now is called Bai Feng, and the one standing next to him is Hei Feng."
"Both of them are well-known local masters. They specialize in searching for antiques scattered among the people through various channels."
"It is said that the items brought this time are the largest this year."
"When I go on stage for evaluation later, Dr. Chen can come up with me."
Chen Beichen was afraid of being plotted against, so he asked Chen Ping to follow him closely.
The main reason is that Chen Ping's medical skills are excellent, and he believes that having Chen Ping by his side can prevent villains from poisoning and plotting.
On the other hand, even if he was poisoned, Chen Ping could help him quickly detoxify and treat him.
Chen Ping nodded, "Yeah."
After the two beauties on the stage pushed the treasure up, everyone in the audience stared at the glass counter with wide eyes.
At this time, Hei Feng, who was wearing a black Chinese tunic suit, walked to the glass cabinet and loudly said to everyone: "The first item on the auction is a glazed painted snuff bottle from the early Qing Dynasty."
"Inside the snuff bottle is a painting by a famous calligrapher from the Qing Dynasty, imitating the "Tide Viewing in Qiantang" by the Song Dynasty painter Li Song."
"The painting has perfect tones and is lifelike. It is a rare and top-quality work."
"The starting price is 500,000 yuan. All collectors are invited to come to the stage to evaluate the bids."
After Hei Feng finished speaking, some people closest to the rostrum came up to the stage to appreciate it.
Some people who went up looked at it carefully for a while, some shook their heads, some nodded and praised a few times.
Soon, Shen Beichen, Chen Ping and the others also went up together.
Coming to the glass table, Shen Beichen observed it carefully.
After watching it for a while, he praised it repeatedly.
"This glass snuff bottle is beautiful in shape and exquisite in painting. It is indeed a rare and top-quality piece."
"It's a pity that I don't know who this painter is."
The value of a snuff bottle lies not only in its age, shape, and material.
Its greater value depends on the person who made it, whether the painter is famous or not.
Although this snuff bottle is exquisite, due to the lack of a famous artist, the market price is only between 600,000 and 800,000.
Everyone in the know knows this.
After Shen Beichen finished admiring it, Shen Lulu and Tang Bei also started to look at it.
The two of them also praised the snuff bottle repeatedly.
Chen Ping followed the two of them and glanced at them briefly, not intending to appreciate them carefully.
However, Tang Bei smiled and said to him: "Doctor Chen, since you are here, it is a rare opportunity. Otherwise, you should also appreciate it carefully."
"good."
Chen Ping walked to the glass cabinet and stared at the snuff bottles inside carefully.
Suddenly, a stream of information popped up in his mind.
'The viewing pot was made of high-grade colored glaze purchased by Wang Yuanqi in the early Qing Dynasty and took three years to make with interior painting.'
'This is a miniature copy of Li Song's "Qiantang Tide Viewing", with the words "Wang Yuanqi copying" left on the rock in the center of the picture, which is a rare masterpiece.'
Later, the picture of Qiantang tide watching in the snuff bottle was enlarged in front of Chen Ping's eyes.
He clearly saw that on a rock in the middle of the painting, the words "Wang Yuanqi copied" were written in traditional Chinese.
When he looked away from the snuff bottle, the giant painting in front of him also disappeared.
Chen Ping was particularly surprised.
After he fainted in the bath at Shen Xiuru's house, he not only acquired great medical skills, but now he can even identify antiques.
At this time, his heartbeat accelerated.
This exquisite snuff bottle is definitely expensive.
Afterwards, the four of them got off the podium and stood under the stage waiting for others to appreciate it.
After another ten minutes, everyone had finished admiring it.
Hei Feng walked to the front desk and said loudly: "Dear collectors, everyone has finished appreciating it. Now the auction starts, starting at 500,000 yuan."
After Hei Feng finished shouting, no one in the audience responded.
Although this snuff bottle is exquisite, everyone thinks it is not worth half a million yuan.
After all, a snuff bottle valued at five hundred thousand dollars is considered to be of the highest quality.
After waiting for a while, Shen Beichen winked at his granddaughter.
Shen Lulu suddenly raised her hand, and when Hei Feng saw it, an unpredictable smile appeared on her face.
Then, he shouted: "Mr. Shen bid 500,000 yuan, is there anyone who wants to bid again?"
After Hei Feng shouted, there was no response from the crowd.
Everyone thought that this snuff bottle was taken by Shen Beichen.
Suddenly, a young man's voice emerged from the crowd.
"I'll pay 600,000."
Everyone looked at the man who was shouting. He was wearing a white T-shirt on his upper body and a pair of jeans on the lower body.
He has a short haircut, is of medium height, but has a strong build.
Tang Bei, who was standing next to Chen Ping, whispered: "Doctor Chen, that person is Xu Minghao, Xu Yuanying's nephew."
"He is well-known in the antique circles of Huai County and is a famous playboy."
After Xu Minghao made the bid, Shen Lulu and Shen Beichen started discussing.
"Grandpa, that guy must be mentally ill. If that snuff bottle is genuine, it will be a top-grade snuff bottle. The market price does not exceed 800,000 yuan."
"If he shoots for 600,000 yuan, he can earn up to 200,000 yuan. Is it necessary to earn it with us?"
But Shen Beichen smiled and said, "We will pay 700,000."
Shen Lulu raised her hand helplessly, "Seven hundred thousand."
"I'll pay 800,000."
Xu Minghao raised his hand again.
At this time, Shen Lulu was almost driven crazy.
"This guy is crazy. How can he make money if he pays 800,000 yuan?"
Shen Beichen smiled: "It seems that the Xu family has taken it on with us. Even if they don't make money, they still have to snatch this snuff bottle from us."
If Shen Beichen continued to bid, it would definitely be a loss-making business, and he was about to give up.
Chen Ping suddenly asked: "Mr. Shen, how much is a top-quality snuff bottle worth?"
"Dr. Chen, do you also have research on snuff bottles?"
"I heard my grandma say before that there are several levels of snuff bottles, but I just don't know how to classify them."
In fact, he doesn't understand at all.
Based on the information that just came to his mind, he inferred that snuff bottles were classified according to quality and grade.
So I found this excuse to ask Shen Beichen for advice.
Shen Beichen smiled and said: "In our industry, snuff bottles are divided into five levels."
"They are respectively lower, middle, upper, lonely, and extreme."
"The value of low-grade and medium-grade products is not high, while the value of high-grade products is relatively high, ranging from 200,000 to 1 million."
"Orphans are very rare and are worth between one million and five million."
"And the best ones are also called peerless treasures, so they are naturally worth a lot of money. Even the worst ones cost more than five million."
After Shen Beichen's introduction, Chen Ping felt confident.
The snuff bottle on the stage is a masterpiece.
The minimum value is over five million, or higher.
He thought for a while and said to Shen Beichen: "Mr. Shen, I think you should take a photo of that snuff bottle."
Chen Ping did not say the reason, because there were many people around and the first auction was not over yet.
If someone else hears it, the cost of picking up the leak will be greatly increased.
"Dr. Chen, you are good at treating diseases. However, you are an amateur at identifying antiques."
"That guy has already asked for 800,000 yuan. If you ask my grandpa to take the photo, aren't we obviously going to lose money?"
They are people who collect and resell antiques.
The most taboo thing is to do business at a loss.
Besides, if Shen Beichen bought this snuff bottle at a high price, its market value is not that high.
That means Shen Beichen made a mistake.
This has a great impact on his reputation in the industry.
Therefore, Shen Lulu strongly opposed it.
Shen Beichen was also a little hesitant. At this time, Tang Bei said: "Brother Chen, I believe Dr. Chen's vision is correct in taking this snuff bottle."
After thinking for a while, Shen Beichen slowly raised his hand.
"One million!"
At this time, the scene was quiet and no one was bidding anymore.
After a few seconds, Hei Feng raised his wooden hammer and started shouting.
"Once in a million."
"Twice a million."
"Three times a million."
"Boom——"
"make a deal."
"Congratulations to Mr. Shen for capturing this snuff bottle."
The auction of the first lot is over.
At this time, Xu Minghao came over with two followers.
"Mr. Shen, have you become old and confused now that you are sick?"
"You know you're losing money, but you still want to rob me."
"Okay, we young people respect the old and love the young, so I'll let you go."
"Haha, hahaha——"
After belittling Shen Beichen, this guy started laughing again.
Shen Lulu was so angry that she went crazy on the spot.
"Xu Minghao, you psycho, please speak with respect."
"Believe it or not, I'm looking for someone to take care of you?"
Xu Minghao suddenly looked at Shen Lulu. Instead of being angry, he actually laughed.
"Isn't this our eldest lady Lulu?"
"You still have such a bad temper, but I like it."
"Miss Lulu is so beautiful and has a plump figure. I wonder if she will take advantage of my lunatic in the future."
"Haha, hahaha——"
"What a shameless gangster and scoundrel." Shen Lulu was almost furious.
After scolding him, he went up to beat Xu Minghao, but Tang Bei stopped him.
"Lulu, don't be like this kind of person."
Shen Lulu calmed down and stopped being impulsive.
"Shen Lulu, one day your Shen family will be done with it."
"When the time comes, you will be like a dog, begging me to sleep with you."
"Hahaha--"
"Brothers, let's go."
Like a pervert, Xu Minghao glanced at Shen Lulu and left with his two men.
Just now, Chen Ping didn't say a word.
He kept staring at Xu Minghao and found that this boy's body was full of evil energy.
Moreover, a terrible message appeared in his mind.
'Xu Minghao, a beginner in Jiuyin Evil Gong and a beginner in Ancient Poison.'
'This person can inflict poison invisibly and avoid it.'
The next two antiques were obviously fakes, so they both failed to be auctioned.
Auction ends.
Shen Beichen paid one million and took away the snuff bottle.
After all the participants left the villa, several people laughed loudly in the hall.
"Ha ha--"
"Hahaha--"
"Shen Beichen is such an idiot. He spent one million to take a picture of that snuff bottle."
"If he knew that it was my men who bought it from White Wolf for five thousand yuan, he would be furious."
"Yeah, thanks to Mr. Xu today, if the price hadn't been raised to 800,000, that idiot wouldn't have paid 1 million to take the photo."
"This Shen Beichen is really old and confused."
"It's a pity that they saw the flaws in the last two items."
Xu Minghao listened to Bai Feng and Hei Feng discuss Shen Beichen spending one million to buy a fake snuff bottle.
He smiled playfully.
"The old guy has died a long time ago, but his granddaughter is really a beauty."
"One day, I will get her."
As he said that, he thought about the scene he saw Chen Ping just now, and felt a little uneasy.
"Have you noticed the young man standing next to the old guy?"
The two shook their heads.
"I always feel that this guy is not simple and doesn't know where he came from."
