Inherit For Three Thousand Years

On the afternoon of the second day, Xiao Yao came to the auction hall half an hour earlier.

Tang Tianhao arrived a little earlier than Xiao Yao, but he was not in a hurry to enter the auction hall and sit down. Instead, he stood at the door and chatted with acquaintances. He didn't greet Xiao Yao until he saw Xiao Yao approaching. past.

The two walked into the auction hall talking and laughing. People kept saying hello to Tang Tianhao along the way. Occasionally, someone would recognize Xiao Yao's identity and exchange pleasantries with him.

Tang Tianhao, as the eldest son of the third generation of the Tang family, basically knows him by everyone in Kyoto. In the boundary of Kyoto, it can be said that he has acquaintances all over the world.

In comparison, Xiao Yao is too low-key. The occasional recognition of his identity is due to his attendance at a business dinner held by the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce. Some of the business leaders who attended the dinner were caring people. Memorized his appearance. It's just that they are not familiar with each other, and they are only limited to meeting and saying hello.

After the two sat down, people continued to come over to say hello to Tang Taihao. It wasn't until the host stepped onto the auction stage that Tang Tianhao calmed down.

After the foreclosure started, the items in front of the auction were jewelry. Xiao Yao was not interested in these, and he didn't raise his placard once.

The auction went on for an hour, and the Qianlong jade seal that Xiao Yao valued the most was finally up for auction.

The auctioneer's tone increased by 8 degrees, and he said excitedly: "The next auction is one of the most important jade articles in this auction - the Qianlong jade seal! This treasure is one of the important seals made by Emperor Qianlong in the early days of his succession. 1. In terms of material, the white jade used is extremely psychic and warm, and the whole body is white and fine. It is rare in the white jade used to make seals, and it is huge in size, with a printed surface of 12.5 cm square, which is the largest among all the seals of Emperor Qianlong’s name One side. The starting price of this treasure is 40 million RMB, and each increase should not be less than 10,000 RMB. Now the auction begins!"

While the auctioneer was speaking, a concierge pushed the new lot up.

After the yellow silk on the jade seal was lifted off, Xiao Yao was disappointed for a while.

This jade seal is indeed the jade seal used by Emperor Qianlong, but it is just an ordinary seal, not the treasure of luck that Xiao Yao expected.

Although a little regretful, Xiao Yao is not disappointed. Treasures of good luck are too rare to come by, each one is something you can't find, and he just came here with a glimmer of hope. Of course he is happy when a miracle happens. If a miracle doesn't happen, that's normal.

Even if this jade seal is not a treasure of luck, it is still a rare antique treasure. If the price is not very high, Xiao Yao still hopes to be able to photograph it.

After all, he had already told Tang Tianhao that he liked this Qianlong jade seal,

With his financial resources, it must be reasonable to take pictures.

Xiao Yao was sitting in front of the auction venue, and his eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people. He could see clearly the Qianlong jade seal placed on the tray.

At the same time, the LED screens on both sides of the auction stage simultaneously presented all the details of this Qianlong jade seal.

This treasure is made of white jade, with cross-dragon buttons, and the printed surface is square. The four characters of "Qianlong Yubi" in Chinese seal script are in Yangwen.

The Ssangyong in this Yinjiaolongbutton has a slim body, smooth and scaleless, uneven back, chest up, head slightly raised, looking straight ahead, with a mighty and flamboyant demeanor, and the Ssangyong's body is clearly coiled. Fine carving, meticulous polishing, smooth as a mirror.

Its style is similar to the gold national treasures such as the Manchu "Fengtian Zhibao" and "Treasure of the Son of Heaven" collected by the Palace Museum in the early Qing Dynasty, as well as the jasper "Kangxi Imperial Brush Treasure" auctioned by Beijing Huachen Auction Company in 2003. In line with each other, they are all typical Jiaolong button styles in the early Qing Dynasty.

Compared with the normal proportions of the seal pad and the seal button, the seal pad of this treasure is slightly low.

Obviously, Emperor Qianlong ordered the craftsmen to grind away the words of a certain Fang Baoxie from the previous dynasty, and re-engraved the words "Qianlong Yubi". This is also the special feature of this treasure.

Such a huge seal is usually used on relatively large works, and it is very likely that it was used to seal on a larger palace plaque.

This piece of jade seal has a very high collection value, and there are many bidders.

In a short time, the price soared from 40 million to 80 million, and there was still an endless stream of placard holders.

Tang Tianhao whispered next to him: "The jade seal of Qianlong is so famous, and there are too many people who want to collect it. It seems that the wish to pick up the leak is unlikely to come true. Brother Xiao, do you want me to hold a sign for you? If If I raise my card, other people should give me some face."

"It's not necessary. At most it will be in the early 100 million. The final hammer price is likely to be lower than the market price. At most it will be the same as the market price, and it is unlikely to exceed the market price." To play for a mere tens of millions, Xiao Haruka hasn't dropped that much yet.

Xiao Yao's judgment is very accurate. After the price breaks through 90 million, there are not many people competing, and there are only three people who still raise their cards.

After the price exceeded 100 million, the people holding the placards became more cautious, and the auctioneer shouted: "105 million for the first time!"

It wasn't until this time that Xiao Yao raised his placard for the first time and shouted loudly: "110 million!"

After he shouted out the price, the venue fell silent.

The market price of this Qianlong jade seal is about 140 million to 150 million. If the price reaches this level, plus the commission, if it appears at the foreclosure meeting, the price is already not low, no matter who holds the placard , will proceed with caution.

"100 million for the first time, does anyone still raise a sign?"

After waiting for a while, someone shouted again: "112 million!"

Without any hesitation, Xiao Yao raised his sign again, "115 million!"

The auctioneer waited for a while, but there was still no bid, and said, "115 million for the first time!"

After waiting for a while, still no one bid, the auctioneer shouted again: "115 million for the second time!"

After the auctioneer called for the third time, there was still no sign. Xiao Yao finally bought this Qianlong jade seal for 115 million.

Tang Tianhao congratulated from the side: "Congratulations, brother Xiao! The price is not bad, not too high."

"I'm in your favor. If we hadn't come in together, the one who raised the sign at the end might have fought again." Xiao Yao said.

"Even if he is sensible, brother Xiao, you have already asked the price, and he dares to fight. When I meet him someday, I have to teach him how to behave." Obviously, Tang Tianhao was very dissatisfied with the last competitor who raised his placard. .

Xiao Yao was not so domineering, he shook his head and said: "There is no need for this, there is fair competition in the auction field, and whoever pays the most money will get it. It's not that I can't afford the money, it's a matter of eighteen million at most. , there is no need to blame others." @B
