Chapter 169 Underground Auction

The young man jumped out of the car, first looked around like a thief, and then walked straight to Tan Moxuan.

"Brother Tan, I have been waiting for you for a long time. There is another customer in the car. I will pick you up on the way. How can you be grateful."

After saying that, he looked at Li Yi up and down a few times, reached out his hand,

"Wang Xiaoliu, they all called me Xiaoliu, what do you call my friend?"

"The surname is Li, just call me Brother Li."

"Okay, Brother Li, you'll be familiar with each other. If you want to find something that is not easy to find, or something that is not easy to take, you can find us. Time is a bit tight, so I won't say much. I hope you can get a great harvest today."

After getting on the car, Li Yi found that not only the car window, but also a piece of glass was installed between the rear and front rows, and a black car membrane was also attached. There was a dim little yellow light on the top of the car. A man sat in the corner of the rear of the car and lowered his head and played with his mobile phone. It should be the customer Xiao Liu mentioned.

Xu Ling was playing with his cell phone when he heard someone get in the car, looked up, then was stunned, and then laughed.

"My junior brother, I thought you were going out to play with friends, but I didn't expect..."

Li Yi couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that this was the activity that the senior brother said! After a few words of hello, he introduced Tan Moxuan to Xu Ling.

"Yeah, it turns out it's Teacher Xu. I have been recognizing my reputation for a long time!"

Then he seemed to have just realized it, pointed at Li Yi and Xu Ling,

"You two... are brothers?"

"Haha, Li Yi is my master's new disciple. I asked him to attend an event yesterday. I didn't say it was to participate in an underground auction. He said there was an arrangement, but he didn't expect to crash the car. Haha, it seems that we are indeed destined to..."

Not only was the windows of Jinbei covered with black film, but they were also sealed, but the carriage was large enough. There were few people and the air conditioner was turned on to ventilate, so they didn't seem so stuffy.

The three of them chatted all the way, and more than half an hour passed without realizing it. Jinbei stopped. Xiao Liu opened the car door and got out of the car and saw that it was a unique yard. Although the branches and leaves were zeroed in winter, judging from the layout of the yard, the residents here should be relatively rich.

The three people walked into a side hall under Xiaoliu's leadership. Li Yi took a look and it was arranged similar to the small auction venue he attended in Panjiayuan at that time. In an empty room, there was a simple wooden table on a low wooden table at one end, and there were several rows of imitation leather conference chairs in front of the wooden table. At this moment, more than a dozen people were sitting there, with a variety of them, both men, women, young and old.

"There are still a few friends who haven't arrived. It starts on time at 2 o'clock. Please find a place to sit by yourself."

Xiao Liu handed the three of them a bottle of mineral water and went out. Tan Moxuan raised his hand and greeted a few guests who had seen it. Then the three of them found a seat in the back row and sat down next to each other.

"Have you heard of Yanjing Hengyuan Real Estate? The fat man over there is their chairman Wang Qingwu. The woman in red sweaters, the appraisal director of Jingxi Pawnshop. I heard that some of their goods were bought by them here. And the old man who just said hello to me, who is also a famous collector among the people..."

Tan Moxuan knew that Xu Ling was here for the first time in the car. He had a friend who brought him, but when he left, the friend had an urgent matter, so the important task of introducing him fell on his shoulders.

After them, more than ten people came in one after another. Four of them greeted Tan Moxuan. At about two o'clock, a big man in Tang suit stood next to the table and introduced himself as Wang Laojiu. He first said a greeting to New Year. Then he announced the start of the auction!

The first thing that came was a plate covered with red cloth. Judging from the shape of the red cloth, it was a concave and short strip-like object. Li Yi frowned. Could it be a carving work?

The answer is soon revealed,

"For the New Year, I want to celebrate the festive season. The dinosaur three-in-one egg in the west of the gorge. I wish you all good luck and surprises in the new year!"

Dinosaur eggs are very precious paleontological fossils and were first discovered in France. Before the discovery of the dinosaur egg fossil group in Xiaxi Basin in Yangnan City in 1993, more than 500 were found worldwide.

The dinosaur egg fossils in the Xiaxi Basin are rare in the world. According to relevant experts on-site inspections, there are 7 burial sites for dinosaur egg fossils. In 93, 94 alone, more than 5,000 were unearthed, and there are estimated that there are still tens of thousands of them that have not been unearthed!

Li Yi remembered that at that time, several villages and towns that were close to the unearthed place, almost every household said that they had dinosaur eggs in their hands. At the cheapest time, a dinosaur egg only costs three or four hundred yuan, and a rare triple egg can only cost a thousand yuan to get started!

Later, the country strengthened control and it was not so easy to succeed in dinosaur eggs. Similarly, the price also soared. Now the black market price of a dinosaur egg with an average quality has been tens of thousands, and it is still difficult to find.

After the dinosaur egg appeared, many people were very interested, so when Wang Laojiu announced that he could go on stage to check, more than 20 people stood up, and even Li Yi went up to join in the fun.

The three eggs are about the same size, with a length of about 15 cm. There is one missing on the side, and the other two have many cracks. Their quality is not very good, but they are indeed dinosaur egg fossils.

There was no problem with the inspection, and Wang Laojiu issued a starting price of 30,000. Perhaps because of the incomplete quality, the reaction on the field was not enthusiastic. There were only three or four people bidding. After seven or eight rounds, the three-game egg was sold by Wang Qingwu, the boss of Hengyuan Real Estate, at a low price of 38,000 yuan.

The next lot is a treasure, with pearls from the late Qing Dynasty and coral tourmaline jade court beads.

The Emperors of the Qing Dynasty believed in Buddhism. All emperors and empresses, princes and ministers, civil servants, and military officers of the fourth rank and above were required to wear court beads when wearing court robes and auspicious clothes. Moreover, the wearing level of court beads is very strict and cannot be violated.

The Eastern Pearl Dynasty Bead is used exclusively for the emperor and empress. The kings and first-rank ministers wear coral court beads, the fifth-rank civil servants and the fourth-rank military officers wear miscellaneous treasure court beads. This string is the miscellaneous treasure court beads.

The pearls on this string of court beads are Dongzhu. Judging from the appearance, they are preserved quite well. Generally, the pearls will undergo cracking, yellowing and other aging phenomena after only a hundred years of storage. However, because even the new beads are dizzy and yellow, the beads on the court beads do not look so old. Moreover, the most important thing is that each bead is similar, and there is no such phenomenon that partly yellow and partly white, which proves that no beads have been replaced in the middle.

The beads of the court beads are coral texture, and the commemoration is tourmaline beads. There are also two jade pieces that are covered with, but the commemoration should have been replaced later.

However, this flaw does not affect the value of this string of court beads, because the string of court beads will be replaced frequently, so as long as the main body of the east bead is fine, this court bead can be regarded as the authentic product.

The starting price of the Chaozhu is 300,000 yuan, and the competition is very fierce. Even Xu Ling chased for several rounds, and the final transaction price was as high as 800,000 yuan, which is rarely encountered in underground auctions.

The third and fourth items are all very ordinary, while the fifth items make Li Yi have a fight.

This is a Song Dynasty ancient book with no cover and back cover, only seven pages. The content should be the Northern Song Dynasty engraving book of the stele of "Liquan Inscription" written by Ouyang Xun, one of the four masters of regular script in the Tang Dynasty. If it is complete, it can be called a priceless city.

In the market of rare ancient books, song-engraved books are undoubtedly diamonds on the crown. According to statistics, the total number of song-engraved books that can be found in China today will not exceed 1,200, most of which have been designated as national first-class cultural relics and are collected in museums at all levels. Very few people have been lost.

Therefore, once the Song Dynasty engraving appears at the auction, it will definitely cause fierce competition. Li Yi remembers that the Southern Song Dynasty engraving "Ju Song Guangyun" sold in 2011 was only five volumes, but the transaction price reached more than 30 million!

These few pages are also treasures!

The starting price of the remaining page of "Liquan Inscription" is 40,000 yuan. After many competitions, Li Yi finally won it for 118,000 yuan.

"There are two rare fine products out of the five items. It seems that Wang Laojiu has put some effort into this auction today."

Tan Moxuan sighed and glanced at the people participating in the auction. He found that after these two more intense bids than before, most people were cheered up, especially Wang Qingwu of Hengyuan Real Estate. After sitting up straight, the burly and fat guy actually covered the short old man behind him who couldn't see the auction table clearly and had to change his seat.

The sixth and seventh thing are normal, and the eighth one is said to be a statue of a Buddha from an ancient temple and it failed to be photographed directly. Wang Laojiu frowned, called Wang Xiaoliu to give a few instructions, then patted his hands and said loudly:

"It seems that everyone is in high spirits today, so I might as well join in the fun and take out the things that were originally planned to be the finale of the next auction to test your eyesight!"

As soon as they heard that the next auction was the finale of the next auction, everyone in the audience immediately raised their emotions and stretched their necks to look up at the stage.

Soon, Wang Xiaoliu walked out of the bedroom and handed a scroll to Wang Laojiu.

Calligraphy and painting? Everyone’s eyes lit up in the audience, and then they became deeply alert.

The difficulty of appraisal of calligraphy and painting is quite high, especially ancient calligraphy and painting. The difficulty of appraisal is not new imitations, but how to distinguish between old imitations and genuine works.

As early as ancient times, there were many counterfeiters and excellent skills. Among these counterfeiters, some did not have utilitarian purposes, but were simply to pay tribute to famous masters. Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao in modern times is a good example.

Some are different. They are purely trying to forge and transform calligraphy and paintings purely to pursue profits, and they are endless. In Zhang Huaijin's "Book of Books" in the Tang Dynasty, there is a record of "Buy the King and get the Sheep", which refers to the word "I originally wanted to buy Wang Xianzhi, but the last one I got was Yang Xin's imitation. (To be continued.)
