In the exhibition hall, there are at least hundreds of private display cabinets placed around it.
Chen Hai originally wanted to go to the middle of the exhibition hall to take a look at the organizer's auction items.
However, at this time, it is the time when the organizer starts the auction, and there are slightly more people gathered in the area in the middle of the exhibition hall.
Some people like to watch the excitement, but Chen Hai doesn't have much interest and squeezes into the crowd.
In private stalls, genuine products are hard to find and fakes are common.
Before the items are auctioned by the organizer, they must have found experts in the industry to have them professionally appraised.
Under such circumstances, not all of the items they auction are 100% genuine, but at least the chances of counterfeits appearing are definitely much smaller.
But all this has little to do with Chen Hai.
After all, he knew nothing about antiques and antiques. He was wandering around at this exchange meeting. He just wanted to see how lucky he was? Can he encounter a magic weapon?
"Boss, I want to return the product. I spent 8,000 yuan. What did you sell me?"
"Return the pastel enamel plum and bamboo vase from the Kangxi reign? I just asked someone to authenticate it."
"The expert said that the bottle you are selling me is made in Henan, and it costs more than ten or twenty yuan apiece, and they buy it in large quantities over there!"
Not far away, a fat man in his thirties or forties was holding a large porcelain bottle in his hand. He angrily put the bottle on a stall, pointed at the stall owner, and shouted angrily.
"Boss, the rule of our antique business is that when goods are shipped out, the money must be paid. I have never heard that anyone who buys antiques can return it!"
"Did you buy this porcelain vase from me? Why don't I remember it?"
"Even if you really spend a lot of money and buy imitations, you can only blame your own poor eyesight."
"Ordinary people want to enter this industry, but they don't have enough knowledge. Do you think it's possible without a few eyeballs and some tuition fees?"
…
Curling his lips in disdain, the stall owner chuckled and responded.
"I don't care, I just bought the stuff from you. If you don't refund me the money, I will destroy your stall!"
"Go ahead and smash it! The booth belongs to the organizer, and there are surveillance cameras watching here."
"If you smashed the treasure in my stall and you can't escape, you will definitely have to compensate according to the price!"
The two were arguing endlessly. The fat man looked indignant and obviously agitated.
The stall owner, however, looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, he just said that it was impossible to return the goods.
Similar to this situation, Chen Hai walked around the exhibition hall and saw several cases.
It has to be said that the antiques and antiques industry is indeed in a state of deep water with no way to see the bottom.
Especially for newcomers who have just stepped into this field, it is even more deeply malicious.
It’s no wonder that on the way to the Boyue Convention and Exhibition Center, Dong Dahai would remind him again and again not to buy anything randomly at the private booths in the exhibition hall.
After spending almost an hour, he basically visited the private booths in the exhibition hall several times.
For other people, it would take them a long time to check the authenticity of antiques and antiques.
As for Chen Hai, the process of judging whether the items in the private showcase are valuable or not is very simple.
He just came a little closer and used his Soul Eye to see if there was any aura in the items in the display cabinet!
Unfortunately, after wandering in this exhibition hall for so long, he didn't see any items that might be magical weapons.
Although I have known for a long time that in modern society, the hope of encountering a real magic weapon is really slim!
But after shopping for so long and coming to such a result, he still felt a little helpless in his heart!
Turning back, he looked towards the center of the exhibition hall.
The organizer's auction is still in full swing.
From two o'clock to four o'clock in the afternoon, these two hours are the organizer's auction period.
It's already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and today's auction has actually reached its final session.
He has been browsing the private booths around the exhibition hall for a long time, but he has not yet come to take a closer look at the organizer's auction items.
"Now here is lot number 76 that we are going to auction today!"
"This is a bronze dagger. According to our expert team's appraisal, this dagger came from the Warring States Period."
"Everyone can take a look. Except for some patina, this dagger is basically well preserved and can still be used normally..."
In the middle of the exhibition hall, there is a specially built auction stage.
An auctioneer wearing white gloves picked up a short sword from the tray held by the security guard nearby.
While showing this bronze sword to everyone in the audience, his saliva flew from his mouth.
As a professional auctioneer, the words he speaks are impassioned and seem to be able to arouse other people's emotions.
"I'll pay nine thousand!"
"I'll give you ten thousand!"
"Don't argue, I'll pay you 12,000..."
The auctioneer on the stage had just quoted a base price of 8,000, and several people in the audience had already begun to bid enthusiastically.
Of course, only they themselves know whether there is a trustee specially arranged by the organizer among the people who made the quotation!
In this area centered on the auction table, there are many single sofas.
Those who are interested in participating in the auction can find a seat nearby and sit down. If they want to bid, just pick up the number plate placed next to the sofa and raise the number plate!
The items at the auction are basically genuine. The only bad thing is that it is almost impossible to find something missing.
Chen Hai has visited the private stalls nearby several times.
Anyway, he had nothing to do now, so he found a chair and sat down directly.
Nowadays, in Yanhuang China, antiques seem to be really not very valuable. Several items were auctioned in succession, and the prices they sold were only tens of thousands of yuan.
Chen Hai sat near the auction table for a long time. He had never seen any auction items with an auction price of over 100,000 yuan.
Sitting on a chair, he seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed. In fact, he was out of his mind and looked through the display cabinets at the nearby organizer one by one.
Compared with private booths, the organizer's display cabinets hold a lot more items.
With so many auction items, it’s a bit dazzling for those looking at them.
Chen Hai, who was out of body, only observed the aura. It was impossible for him to examine every item carefully.
After his soul returned to his true body, he didn't notice anything unusual about the auras of the auction items, and felt a little disappointed.
"Now, here's our lot No. 88!"
"An archaeological team unearthed a broken piece of tortoise shell."
"On this piece of tortoise shell, there are strange lines carved by unknown means!"
"According to the identification results of our expert team, this tortoise shell has a history of at least more than a thousand years. The lines on it are likely to be a special type of writing that we have not discovered yet."
"Because of the existence of these lines, this tortoise shell already has certain humanistic value and historical research value."
"The starting price for this lot is 10,000 yuan, and the price increase is 1,000 yuan each time. Anyone who is interested can make an offer now!"
…
Just when Chen Hai was about to leave and go over to Dong Dahai to take a look, the words of the auctioneer on the auction stage reached his ears in time.
Following the words, Chen Hai looked towards the auction table.
The auctioneer wearing white gloves was picking up the turtle shell, which was only half the size of a palm, and showed it to everyone in the audience.
Originally? Chen Hai just glanced at the broken turtle shell in the auctioneer's hand!
But the next moment, he obviously couldn't move his eyes away.
This tortoise shell has no special aura on it.
The main reason why Chen Hai is so interested is because this thing is very similar to the piece of turtle shell he picked up from the bottom of the pool after killing the toad demon.
That piece of tortoise shell gave him the inheritance of the two techniques of 'Kan' and 'Divination'.
Whether it's Kanyu or divination, it has always been one of his most important trump cards to this day.
On the auction stage, in order to take a closer look at the broken tortoise shell in the hands of the auctioneer, Chen Hai even got out of his body and took a closer look.
In his eyes, the fracture in a certain direction of the tortoise shell seemed to fit perfectly with the tortoise shell in his mind that held the divination and prophecy.
After confirming this fact, Chen Hai's heart was already burning.
Not to mention the situation at hand, even if there is a one-tenth chance that the tortoise shell in the auctioneer's hand is of the same type as the tortoise shell in his mind, it is enough to make him determined to get it.
Ten thousand...Twelve thousand...Fifteen thousand...
Among the people who participated in the auction, there seemed to be a lot of people who were interested in this tortoise shell.
In just two or three minutes, the price of this broken tortoise shell, which had a base price of 10,000 yuan, soared by more than 50,000 yuan.
It was only then that the number of people participating in the bidding became sparse.
Turtle shells have the functions of nourishing yin and replenishing yang, nourishing kidneys and bones, and nourishing blood and heart.
It has some good curative effects on some diseases such as yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, yin deficiency and internal heat, kidney deficiency and bone impotence.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the tortoise shell from more than a thousand years ago must have stronger medicinal effects!
Let’s not talk about whether those weird patterns on the tortoise shell are really valuable. Just the medicinal properties of this tortoise shell are enough to make many people interested in it!
After all, this thing can treat kidney deficiency and has strong health care effects, but what about some people? They have a lot of money and only tens of thousands of dollars, but they don't pay much attention to it at all.
Chen Hai, whose soul returned to his true body, frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
However, he remained calm and did not bid rashly. He just sat quietly.
