Xishan Hotel, No. 9 Ballroom, Christie's Interior Invitational Auction.

The first item was a God of Wealth ornament carved by Huanghuali wood in the Ming Dynasty. Gu Kaiwen did not understand antiques, but he read Christie's promotional brochure. According to Christie's promotional brochure, the antiques he took on must be real.

Even if an unexpected situation occurs, Christie's will compensate in full.

"No. 37, 1.6 million!" The gray-haired auctioneer announced the current price with a loud voice, "Is there 1.7 million? Is there 1.7 million in Huanghuali God of Wealth ornaments?"

Gu Kaiwen raised the sign and calmly opened the offer and said, "1.8 million!"

"No. 86, 1.8 million! Is there 1.85 million?" The auctioneer still shouted loudly.

Gu Kaiwen sat in the third row, and the woman in front of him raised the mark and made a random offer, "2 million!"

"On the 29th, 2 million! Is there still 2.05 million?" The auctioneer tried hard to get a higher price.

After the woman on No. 29 offered a offer, Gu Kaiwen looked over curiously. Who knew that the other party also turned to look at Gu Kaiwen. When the two looked at each other, the other party smiled and nodded at Gu Kaiwen, and then turned around.

Gu Kaiwen frowned slightly. He could not judge the woman's age. If we look at it from an upward perspective, the other party should be less than twenty years old, but the other party's temperament made Gu Kaiwen confused.

‘Brother Yingjun, who is the guy on No. 29?’ Gu Kaiwen asked Fan Yingjun on WeChat.

Fan Yingjun quickly replied to the message, 'Are you interested?'

‘Just curious.’ Gu Kaiwen sent a message.

‘Her name is Li Yueling, the eldest lady of the Demon City Nuanguang Group, she is older than you. It seems to be in 1991 or 1990. Do you want to hold a gold brick?’ Fan Yingjun continued to joke.

As the saying goes, a female junior holds a gold brick. Gu Kaiwen came from 1994. It seems that she really holds a gold brick?

‘...No kidding, I’m really just curious.’ Gu Kaiwen sent a message again, ‘Brother Yingjun, don’t complain, I’m afraid of you!’

‘Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person.’ Fan Yingjun replied to the message.

When Gu Kaiwen and Fan Yingjun sent messages to each other, the first lot was won by Li Yueling for 2.15 million yuan.

"The second item is Master Qi Baishi's lotus picture. The starting price is 3 million, and the price is no less than 100,000 yuan each time." The auctioneer introduced the basic information of the lotus picture.

Although Qi Baishi's lotus picture is not as famous as his shrimp, the price is not cheap either.

Gu Kaiwen raised the sign again, "4 million."

The auctioneer immediately responded, "No. 86, 4 million, is there 4.1 million?"

Li Yueling also raised the sign and said with a clear voice, "5 million."

"No. 29, 5 million." The auctioneer's voice was a little excited. It was not that Qi Baishi's lotus picture was not worth five million, but that Gu Kaiwen and Li Yueling seemed to have arguing?

"6 million!" Gu Kaiwen casually raised the bid, and then received Fan Yingjun's WeChat.

‘Brother, what are you doing? This painting is about 5.5 million to 5.8 million. You have to take the pot for 6 million. If Li Yueling quotes again, you will let her take the pot for !’ Fan Yingjun sent a message to remind Gu Kaiwen.

Gu Kaiwen was speechless and said that Master Qi Baishi was very famous and his paintings were very valuable?

Li Yueling turned her head and looked at Gu Kaiwen with a smile, but she had no intention of bidding.

Seeing that Li Yueling had no intention of bidding, the auctioneer held up the wooden hammer and said in a passionate tone, "Congratulations to Mr. No. 86, I'm glad to get the lotus picture of Master Qi Baishi."

Gu Kaiwen smiled and nodded. Although he bought a pair of Qi Baishi's lotus at a premium, according to Fan Yingjun's estimate, he did not lose much, and after a few years, the price may increase again?

‘Brother, congratulations!’ Fan Yingjun sent a teasing message. He knew Gu Kaiwen’s income and didn’t care much about Gu Kaiwen’s purchase of a six million painting.

"The third item is a glass-type green Maitreya pendant from the Qing Dynasty. It has a length of 3.6 cm and a width of 1.8 cm. The starting price is 3 million yuan, and the minimum price is 100,000 yuan per time." After the auctioneer introduced, he announced that the auction began.

Gu Kaiwen glanced at the glass jade pendant, and he asked on WeChat, 'Brother Yingjun, how much does this pendant cost? Is it suitable for women to wear?'

'Do you want to buy it for Yao Feifei?' Fan Yingjun asked back.

‘Yes!’ Gu Kaiwen did not hide it.

'You boy is quite willing to let it go!' Fan Yingjun sighed first.

Then he sent a message to add, 'It is quite suitable for women to wear, but it is definitely not cheap in terms of price. Now Myanmar has officially controlled the export of jadeite, and coupled with the exhaustion of old pit materials, the price of jadeite has become increasingly high.'

Fan Yingjun sent the third message, 'According to the size of this pendant, I estimate that it is not smaller than 10 million, so I can't get it down!'

This Qing Dynasty glass-type green Maitreya pendant directly ignited the enthusiasm of the auction. This is also Christie's small trick. First, put on a lot that can suppress the scene in advance and mobilize the passion of the participants.

"No. 29, 6 million." The auctioneer reported the price. This time he did not ask if there was 6.1 million or something. As the auctioneer, he clearly stated the price of the goods.

"No. 39, 6.5 million." The auctioneer continued to sing the price.

Gu Kaiwen tried to offer a price, "8 million!"

The auctioneer obviously remembers Gu Kaiwen. After all, when Gu Kaiwen first participated in the filming of Qi Baishi lotus, he performed very well. A discerning person could tell at a glance that Gu Kaiwen was a novice.

The auctioneer naturally also realized that Gu Kaiwen was a Xiaobai. Now that Gu Kaiwen is bidding, the auctioneer of course paid attention to it, so that he could wait a while before tricking Xiaobai into participating in the auction.

"Mr. No. 86, is there a price of 8 million yuan? "The auctioneer asked Longsheng.

Li Yueling frowned slightly, and she quoted again, "8.1 million."

"Are there any higher quotations for 8.1 million?" Although the auctioneer was asking, his eyes looked at Gu Kaiwen, waiting for Gu Kaiwen's quotation.

"9 million." Gu Kaiwen did not disappoint the auctioneer's expectations, and also fully demonstrated the characteristics of the brace.

Li Yueling frowned even deeper. She hesitated for a while before continuing to increase the price, "9.1 million!"

Gu Kaiwen smiled and raised the sign, "10 million!"

This price completely exceeds the actual price of Maitreya pendants. Even if Maitreya pendants are of old pit glass or even green, their price is still impossible to reach 10 million.

In fact, even 9 million is already a rare high price!

When Gu Kaiwen just quoted 9 million, if Li Yueling hadn't liked this Maitreya pendant, she wouldn't have raised the price by 100,000. But now Gu Kaiwen has offered 10 million, so she naturally chose to give up.

It’s not that Li Yueling can’t afford 10 million, but that she doesn’t think it’s worth it!

Seeing that Li Yueling did not bid, the auctioneer also knew the price of this Qing Dynasty glass-type green Maitreya pendant, so he naturally finished the auction and announced that Gu Kaiwen became the new owner of this item.

Gu Kaiwen won another lot. Although it seemed that he had suffered a loss in terms of price, I was happy to be able to buy it with a lot of money.
Chapter completed!
