The first auction item was an antique from the Qing Dynasty, one of the funerary objects of Empress Dowager Cixi.
The ones who wanted Cixi's jewelry were all women. Deng Chao was not interested in this at all. Aren't you afraid of bad luck when you buy some burial items?
The auction items were arranged according to the starting price. The higher the price, the more expensive the items would be. The first five items were auctioned by people with intermediate and low-level invitations. The people in the private room had not spoken yet, so they did not take a fancy to them.
When it was the sixth item, the people sitting in the box began to become active.
The Pristine Jade Bottle that Fang Bingbing had taken a fancy to was placed at the end as the finale. Deng Chao closed his eyes and listened to the sounds of bidding and closing from the loudspeaker. He fell into a state of sleep.
Fang Bingbing was not interested in calligraphy, painting, porcelain, or jade. She ate the fruit while waiting for the last item to arrive.
During this period, a nouveau riche wanted to buy a painting as a family heirloom, but he was afraid that he would buy a fake, so he asked,"Are there any counterfeit items?”
The emcee's face darkened when he heard the words of the nouveau riche. The organizers of this auction were all influential figures. They did not care about using fake products to tarnish their reputation! However, the emcee's gloominess only lasted for a few seconds. He smiled and said to the nouveau riche,"Sir, please rest assured that all the items we auction here have antique certificates issued by the country. We have also invited at least three experts to evaluate them. There will definitely be no fake products.”
The nouveau riche pursed his lips disdainfully and said,"So what if you have a national certificate? If the person who issued the certificate and those experts wanted to make some fake ones to fill their own pockets, it would be a simple matter!”
The emcee had been very professional in helping the nouveau riche solve his problem. Now that the nouveau riche had said this, the emcee could no longer give him a good look.
Not only the emcee, but many people at the auction venue had extremely gloomy expressions. Other than the buyers, there were also quite a number of appraisers. Wasn't this nouveau riche slapping the faces of these appraisers?!
"If you feel cheated after buying it, you can come to me. I'll refund you ten times the purchase price!”A man in his forties walked out from backstage. When the emcee saw him, he quickly greeted him respectfully," Boss.”
With the organizer's promise, the nouveau riche did not waste any more time and spent more than 200 million to buy the painting.
Deng Chao, who was sitting in the private room, suddenly opened his eyes and asked Fang Bingbing,"Who is that boss? Your tone is so rough."
Fang Bingbing looked at the LCD monitor and said,""I don't know him, but I know the man next to him. He's the son of the company, Wang Sicong.”
After the boss finished speaking, he sat in the VIP seat at the front. At this moment, he was chatting and laughing with the young man sitting beside him.
"Myriad Enterprise? " No wonder…" Deng Chao had heard of Wang Sicong's name before. It wasn't because this guy was very powerful, but because he liked to use Weibo too much. In his previous life, Deng Chao liked to use Weibo whenever he had the time. That was how he knew about Wang Sicong, the internet celebrity.
The CEO of the company was the richest man in China last year. Seeing how close the boss was to Wang Sicong, he must be rich.
While they were talking, the auction had already come to an end. However, the people present were becoming more and more active. There was no sign of a lack of momentum at all!
"The next item up for auction is an antique personally appraised by the grandmaster of the antique world, Master Li Mingwei. It's the mysterious jade bottle from the Tang Dynasty's Taizong, Li Shimin!”The emcee's words lifted the atmosphere. It seemed that ten percent of the guests had come for this bottle.
In the private room, Deng Chao looked at Fang Bingbing and asked,"Who is that Li Mo Wei?"
Although Fang Bingbing was not as influential as Deng Chao, she was more influential than Deng Chao in both China and the world. She also knew more about these things than Deng Chao.
"He's an old connoisseur. He can be considered as a great connoisseur of antiques. An ordinary antique, if appraised by him, would probably be worth ten times or a hundred times more. Moreover, this bottle was passed down from Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. Its price was not low, and with the effect of Li Mowei's status as a master, it would probably fetch a sky-high price!”Fang Bingbing's face suddenly darkened. Although she was rich, 500 million was already a little extravagant. She thought that 500 million was more than enough, but now it seemed that the chances of success were very slim!
Deng Chao saw that Fang Bingbing's expression was not right and knew what she was thinking. If possible, he really wanted to buy it for Fang Bingbing. He would play it by ear!
Under the cheers of the crowd, a green-white bottle was sent to the auction stage.
"Let's cut to the chase. On the big screen and the list that I've sent to everyone, there are words of appreciation for the Pure Jade Bottle. Do you want to sleep comfortably and have a good career? Do you want beautiful women and money at your fingertips? Then let's bid for it! The mysterious Pristine Jade Bottle! With it, you will be lucky! " With it, you will…" The emcee began to run his mouth off. After a few minutes of all kinds of adjectives, the emcee picked up the small hammer on the auction stage, raised it high, and said loudly," The finale of this auction--the mysterious Pure Jade Bottle. The starting price is 500 million, and each increment must not be less than 10 million. Begin!”
And collection!
