Zhengyangmen: Don’t date Su Meng
Chapter 123 Auction
He understands this rule.
This deal originally belonged to Hou Pulan, but now he is not short of money, and it was only out of friendship that he gave him this good opportunity to buy at a low price.
It is also said that the items this person is going to sell are not worth a small amount, and he himself is also a well-known collector in the circle, so you can imagine the value of this batch of antiques.
This is a favor.
So Han Chunming had to show some appreciation, and a slap from Hou Polan was a simple one. He wanted to pick out his five favorite pieces from this batch of antiques as an introduction fee!
Of course, the Broken Marquis would not choose the one with the highest value. Doing so would completely ruin his own reputation and destroy the friendship between the two. So Han Chunming also believed that the Broken Marquis would not do so, but...
"Five is too many, two!"
Han Chunming and Polan Hou started quarreling like elementary school students.
"No, just five!"
"I'll take a step back. Three pieces will be enough!"
"Six pieces!"
"Raggedy Marquis, I'll strangle you to death. How can you bargain like that?"
"Hey, let go, I was just joking. You really want to strangle your grandfather to death, kid."
"you……"
Finally, after Han Chunming's unremitting efforts, the two concluded the deal at the price of three pieces.
Overall, both parties are relatively satisfied... right!
…………
After two days, Han Chunming and Polan Hou finally set foot on the land of SZ City.
"The land and water nurture the people. People who live in the misty rain of Jiangnan are indeed water-loving."
Hearing what Hou Paolan said, Han Chunming couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
There’s nothing wrong with that!
"Ahem, shall we go directly?"
"Yes, let's go."
After knowing the location, the two walked on the street as if taking a stroll, occasionally sighing at the unique beauty of the place.
"arrive."
Han Chunming looked up.
"This... a garden?"
"Haha, I told you already, he is a well-known collector, if not for... Haha, forget it, I won't say anything, it's all because of those useless descendants."
Han Chun understood clearly that it was the child's fault again.
It's commonplace.
The subsequent meeting was unusually simple. Without much discussion, the other party packed up the things and sold them to Han Chunming, as if he was sending away a beggar.
It was clean and neat, and Han Chunming was happy with it.
After agreeing on a time to eat, the two left the garden.
"As expected of your old friend, you speak so frankly." Han Chunming gave a thumbs up.
"Get lost! Don't think I can't hear the hidden meaning in your words. Don't say you didn't see it. Judging from the atmosphere at home, he probably wants us to leave early."
"Hey, that's all I'm saying. Where do you think we should go?"
"I'm too tired now. Let's take a day off and go to Antique Street tomorrow."
Han Chunming naturally had no objection, and the two of them strolled to the hotel and checked into a room.
One large suite per person.
Don’t ask, the only thing I know is that I’m happy, because Han Chunming is rich today.
…………
In the evening, he attended the dinner party hosted by Boss Zhou as scheduled. During the dinner, Lord Poor and the other party mostly chatted about everything from ancient times to the present. Han Chunming, as the second companion, mostly listened to their conversation and did not interrupt.
After agreeing on the time of the auction, the three of them parted ways.
"Alas, it's all the fault of these unfilial descendants."
We just briefly touched upon the subject and let it go.
The next day was a free time for shopping on Taobao. Han Chunming and Polan Hou split up into two groups and wandered around separately. It was a chance for them to explore, needless to say.
In the evening, the two appeared in the auction house.
"My Lord, here."
As soon as they entered the door, they received an invitation from Boss Zhou. The two of them sat next to him and chatted while waiting for the auction to begin.
"This time, several wealthy Cantonese-speaking guys came over. They announced that they would book the entire place. You guys better be careful."
Knowing that Han Chunming and the other man's purpose was to look for antiques, Boss Zhou kindly reminded them.
Han Chunming didn't have any extra emotions about this.
The spring breeze of reform is blowing across the land, so it is normal for people to come from Hong Kong.
But to put it bluntly, they are real businessmen. They think in terms of profit in everything they do. It is useless to talk to them about the history and heritage of antiques. Only money can move their hearts.
Therefore, Han Chunming is not worried at all. As long as the price exceeds their psychological expectations, they will most likely stop in time.
There is no other way.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
The Hong Kong boss came with a big black silk wallet and spoke broken Mandarin.
After a while, the auction began.
The host was an old man, and judging from what everyone was saying, he must be an influential person in the circle.
"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. Let me introduce the first item in my collection."
The waiter came on stage with a plate covered with a red cloth.
When the red cloth was lifted, a large blue and white bowl appeared before our eyes.
"I have had professional appraisals done on this large blue and white plate from the Ming Dynasty, from an official kiln. If you have different opinions, you can ask me on the spot. If what I say is suspicious, you can take the item away and we will compensate you for your losses."
There was a lot to say, but few people were talking at the scene.
"It seems that this old man is quite capable," Han Chunming thought.
But a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. The boss from Hong Kong is not going to play tricks on you. He directly asked his men to come on stage with instruments and start a careful inspection.
The old man never frowned throughout the whole process.
Upon learning that the items were authentic, the boss from Xiangjiang was the first to make an offer, thus kicking off the auction.
Even though Hong Kong people are rich, this kind of auction does not attract ordinary people. No one has the intention of "I will give up to you". They just shout out the price, and the scene is very lively for a while.
Han Chunming did not bid because he had similar collections that were even more expensive.
Soon, the first item found a buyer, a man in a well-dressed suit, whose background was unknown.
The second one...
The third item...
Han Chunming still didn't bid. He was waiting for the things he liked to come out. At the same time, he was also preparing to trip up the Hong Kong guy.
It’s not so easy to get things from the mainland.
Finally, what Han Chunming liked came.
A painting unfolded before everyone: in front of the pavilions and halls, the grass and trees were evergreen, and famous flowers were scattered throughout the front garden. Under the blue sky, the sea of clouds was rolling, like an endless tide. There was a small boat in the lake, and an old man was boating on the river, leisurely and contented. Suddenly, a carp jumped out of the lake, breaking the calmness of the river, as if playing with the old man.
This picture is peaceful yet full of vitality, making people feel the beauty and magic of nature.
The Cangshan Mountain behind you and the curling smoke from the mountains are the embellishment, making you feel far away.
The signature was very familiar to Han Chunming, the famous Tang Yin.
This painting is his goal today, and it can be regarded as the task assigned to him by the old man.
Because the old man's room is missing such a painting.
