A treasure-appraisal maniac

Qian Chaoyue wanted to help Lu Fei, but Lu Fei refused.

Guan Lina obviously has something to do with her, how could Lu Fei fool around with them?

"Just forget about catching the wind!"

"I don't have time today. If we don't leave Tiandu soon, we will meet again tomorrow and I will go in first!"

Lu Fei did not agree to Qian Chaoyue, and Liu Song let out a sigh of relief.

After finally asking Lu Fei out, if Qian Chaoyue intercepted him, he would cry to death.

Therefore, when Lu Fei said this, Liu Song couldn't wait for a second and hurriedly asked Luo Lufei and Chen Xiang to go in.

But just as Lu Fei turned around, he was stopped by Qian Chaoyue again. If he couldn't afford to offend Qian Chaoyue, Liu Song would have become angry with him.

"Is there anything else?" Lu Fei asked.

Qian Chaoyue smiled and said, "It's really something, Brother Fei, let's take a moment to talk." ??

"Well!!"

Lu Fei frowned: "Can't we talk about it later?"

"It's just a few words, it won't take you a few minutes, and I promise, it will be a good thing." Qian Chaoyue said.

This thing was so mysterious that Lu Fei's curiosity aroused, so he asked Guan Lina and the others to go in first, and he would go up and join them later.

Qian Chaoyue dismissed Su He and pulled Lu Fei into his car.

"What's so mysterious?" Lu Fei asked.

"Brother Fei, this is really a good thing."

"If I hadn't seen you, I almost forgot."

Passing a cigarette to Lu Fei, Qian Chaoyue continued: "Brother Fei, there is an underground auction that is quite popular recently. Have you heard about it?"

"Underground auction?"

"Isn't that normal? It happens in many places. What's so strange about it?" Lu Fei said.

"Brother Fei, the underground auction I'm talking about is different from the ordinary ones."

"oh?"

Speaking of the underground auction, Lu Fei suddenly became interested.

"Tell me."

"Brother Fei, this auction is not big in scale, but it is quite impressive."

Qian Chaoyue introduced Lu Fei eloquently.

There is a playmate in Qian Chaoyue's circle named Sun Xiaohai. Their family is in the hotel business, and before his father became successful, he had a certain underworld background. Even now, no one mentions his father Sun Dakui's name on the street. I don’t know.

On the 7th of last month, Sun Xiaohai called Qian Chaoyue and asked him to attend an antique auction with him.

Qian Chaoyue didn't have a dime to collect, so he didn't plan to go, but he had nothing to do and Su He didn't have time, so he agreed.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the two came to a four-star hotel owned by the Sun family in Fangshan District. In a large conference room, the auction was held as scheduled.

What surprised Qian Chaoyue was that the security at this auction was quite exaggerated. No one was allowed to enter without a membership card.

Those who hold a membership card can only bring one companion into the venue at a time. Since it was held at the Sun Hotel, Sun Xiaohai got a membership card.

Such strict requirements immediately raised the profile of the auction.

Entering the venue, Qian Chaoyue was even more surprised.

There were less than a hundred people in the huge banquet hall, and they were all gathered together in pairs. The light was dim, the atmosphere was low, and it looked a little weird.

Sun Xiaohai introduced Qian Chaoyue in a low voice. More than half of the people participating in the auction today were bosses with underworld backgrounds, and the rest were quite successful people with backgrounds.

A total of fifty membership cards were issued at the auction, which means that there are only fifty real owners. The rest are experts paid by the real owner to hire to help with the spotting. Almost all of them are well-known figures in the collection world, and there are even some archaeologists. There are big guys in the industry who hold public office, and professional water skiing like the two of them is definitely a different kind.

Qian Chaoyue was stunned on the spot. Shouldn't antique auctions be heavily publicized? The more people participating, the better?

After all, the more people who participate, the more competitive they will be, right?

But why is the auction here limited to only fifty members? Isn't this unscientific?

Sun Xiaohai explained to him that although this auction was held in a hotel, it was actually an underground auction.

The underground auction does not have to be held in the basement, but many of the items auctioned here are shady objects.

For safety reasons, only fifty membership cards were issued.

Those who can get a membership card must have a minimum net worth of tens of millions, and they must be introduced by acquaintances who are completely reliable.

Although the conditions are extremely strict, these bosses are still eager for these fifty membership quotas because every object that appears in their auction is a good thing.

Moreover, the number of people is small, the competition is not so fierce, and huge benefits can often be obtained at a small price. Of course, people flock to this good thing that is sure to make money without losing money.

Sun Xiaohai's explanation made even Qian Chaoyue excited.

If it was true what he said, he couldn't miss this good opportunity to make money.

However, Qian Chaoyue was also worried. After all, this was an underground auction. If something happened, it would be terrible.

Qian Chaoyue expressed his worries, and Sun Xiaohai's face was full of disdain.

Sun Xiaohai said that the boss behind the auction had an astonishing background.

Something can happen.

Counting today's one, three auctions have been held. If something had happened, it would have happened long ago. Can we wait until now?

After hearing what Sun Xiaohai said, Qian Chaoyue was relieved.

Fifty members have arrived and the auction will begin immediately.

There is no passionate opening statement, no noisy introduction, just go straight to the auction.

The first item to be auctioned was a blue and white folding rim basin from the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. The price was only 300,000.

The auctioneer simply said the name of the blue flower pot, and then took a close-up of the folded edge pot and the base.

Refuse to go on stage for verification in person, refuse any questions, and start bidding directly.

Such unreasonable rules did not arouse any doubts.

Those members just whispered a few words to the appraisers they hired, and then they opened their eyes wide and geared up to start competing.

The starting price was 300,000, and soon the price was raised to 1.5 million, and the final price was 2.1 million.

Although Qian Chaoyue doesn't know how to collect, he still knows a little bit about the market situation of antique porcelain.

After all, after hanging out with Brother Fei for so long, I have learned a lot about him.

Moreover, in order to pursue Su He, he often participated in the auctions of Su He's family. There would be no big fluctuations in the price of any item.

Once at Su He's auction, Qian Chaoyue saw a blue and white porcelain plate from the official kiln of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty put up for auction. The starting price was two million, and the final transaction price reached eleven million Shenzhou coins.

The folded rim basin in front of him was intact, and it was two times larger than the blue and white plate he had seen before.

They were both porcelains from the Qianlong official kiln of the Qing Dynasty, but the transaction prices were so different that Qian Chaoyue was almost shocked.
