rebirth of cataclysm

Manager Peng didn't talk much to Hu Mingchen and the others, and it was not suitable for a long chat on such an occasion. Anyway, her goodwill and goodwill had already been expressed in place.

Not long after Manager Peng left, the auction officially began.

There were two to three hundred people who came to support this auction. Of course, some came in twos and some came with their entourage, so the real buyers should be around a hundred.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our Autumn and Winter Chinese Art Treasures Appreciation Auction. In our auction, all the auction items are authentic products that have been authenticated by professional institutions and issued appraisal certificates...

..."

Before the bidding started, people from the organizing unit came to the stage to give some general remarks and explanations. Finally, amidst warm applause, the auction officially began.

The opening is a calligraphy by Wang Yansou, the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty. He wrote it to a friend when he was a scholar. Later, the calligraphy was lost overseas. This time it was brought back for auction with a starting price of 250,000.

"How do you like this calligraphy? Do you want to buy it and hang it in the room?" Chen Xuesheng asked Hu Mingchen.

"I don't have much research on calligraphy, I don't know much about it."

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. After all, it is something from the Song Dynasty, and it was made by the number one scholar. Isn't this just right for you?"

"It's been more than a year since I passed the college entrance examination, and there is absolutely no possibility of becoming the number one scholar. What is suitable for me? As long as this kind of art can be flowed back to the country, it will be the same everywhere. If it is hung in my room, maybe

There will be some waste of natural resources, so leave it to those who like calligraphy." Hu Mingchen's words were regarded as rejection of this work, and he did not intend to bid.

In the end, this calligraphy was bought by an older collector for 1.16 million, which is considered a relatively high premium. Next time, if this calligraphy appears on the auction market again, the price will be far from the starting price of 250,000.

Simple.

After the auction started, Hu Mingchen also paid attention to Li Minghui. This guy didn't seem to be interested in the calligraphy and didn't bid even once.

"This second item is a blue and white garlic vase from the Yanyou period of the Yuan Dynasty. It is 43.2 centimeters tall and has a belly diameter... After identification, it was from the Yonghe official kiln... This

The starting price of each lot is 430,000 yuan, and each increase in price shall not be less than 10,000 yuan. If any distinguished guests are interested, please bid..."

"I'll pay half a million."

"Five hundred and twenty thousand."

"Five hundred and fifty thousand."

There are many people in Kailai who like porcelain, and the competition was fierce from the beginning.

"Don't you want this too?" Seeing Hu Mingchen sitting peacefully like a mountain, Chen Xuesheng asked again.

"If you like it, you can buy it and decorate it at home."

"I came with you, what should I take pictures of?"

"Come with me. If you see someone who is suitable, you can take action. Of course, even if you want to take action, don't do it too early. It will be better for you to take action after they are almost done competing." Hu Mingchen said.

"If you say so, then I'll buy one or two later to show off."

"Hahaha, once the material needs are met, it's the spiritual needs' turn." Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

The price of this blue and white garlic vase rose even more sharply, and soon the price exceeded that of the calligraphy calligraphy from the Song Dynasty.

"1.3 million, is there a higher price than 1.3 million?" the auctioneer shouted loudly on the stage and asked.

In fact, the collection market in the past two years has not been particularly hot, it can only be said to be on the rise. In a few years, the starting price for Yuan Dynasty blue and white paintings will be at least one million or more.

"One million, three hundred and fifty thousand." Chen Xuesheng raised his hand and shouted a price.

The person who called out the price of 1.3 million thought he could get it at that price, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye someone would increase it by 50,000.

Chen Xuesheng's first quotation, and it was made near the end, immediately attracted the attention of some people.

At least Young Master Dong has been paying attention to this place, and when he got Chen Xuesheng's bid, he immediately raised his hand to beat Chen Xuesheng.

"One million, three hundred and eighty thousand."

"That gentleman bid 1.38 million, 1.38 million. Is there any higher price than 1.38 million?" Seeing two guests who had never bid come in, the auctioneer asked.

He seemed very excited.

The higher the price of this auction, the higher his commission, so he is naturally eager for this phenomenon.

Chen Xuesheng turned around and saw that the bastard was outbidding him, and his face darkened.

"What's the use of showing off? If someone oppresses you, you can give it back. In auctions, the highest bidder gets it. The only rule is that." Hu Mingchen grinned and encouraged Chen Xuesheng.

"One million and four hundred and fifty thousand." Chen Xuesheng cursed secretly and raised his sign again.

"Young Master Dong, crush him to death, crush him to death." The female companion next to Young Master Dong was trying her best to encourage him.

"What else do you want to say about this special code?" Mr. Dong slapped the woman on the thigh, and then raised the sign: "1.48 million."

"1.48 million, the price has reached 1.48 million. Is there anyone else whose price exceeds 1.48 million? Is there anyone whose price exceeds..."

"One million and a half million." Before the auctioneer could finish his words, Chen Xuesheng raised his placard again.

"Oh, 1.55 million, 1.55 million. It seems that many friends are interested in this blue and white vase from the Yuan Dynasty. The current price is 1.55 million."

"I'll offer 1.58 million." Mr. Dong really wanted to suppress Hu Mingchen and the others, but without even thinking, he made another offer.

"Are you fishing? Haha, this guy is angry with you." Hu Mingchen whispered.

"To be angry, if he likes to be angry, then you should have fun with him. 1.65 million." After Chen Xuesheng smiled, he once increased the price.

The bidding between Chen Xuesheng and Dong Shao has now attracted the attention of the whole audience. Because they are the only ones bidding, everyone can only look at them.

That's why Li Minghui discovered Hu Mingchen's existence.

The first time he saw Hu Mingchen, Li Minghui was stunned and surprised, and then his expression changed from angry to proud.

Li Minghui suffered heavy losses one after another at the hands of Hu Mingchen, and he even begged Hu Mingchen for Li Jialun.

Now that he saw him at the auction in Pengcheng, Li Minghui certainly felt that the opportunity had come.

When Li Minghui saw Hu Mingchen, Hu Mingchen also happened to look at him. However, Hu Mingchen's face was expressionless, as if he didn't see it.

This made Li Minghui feel that he was completely ignored by Hu Mingchen.

At this time, Dong Shao and Chen Xuesheng's vindictive bidding had raised the price to 1.78 million.

"Two million." Just when everyone thought according to the rules that the next price would be 1.85 million, Li Minghui made a bid and immediately increased the price by 220,000.

"Huh? The special code killed Cheng Yaojin halfway?" Li Minghui's bid made Chen Xuesheng surprised.

"He is indeed Cheng Yaojin." Hu Mingchen said simply.

"Then should I add more?"

"The key depends on whether you like it or not." Hu Mingchen's answer was simple.

"Master Dong, two million, increase the price." The woman next to Master Dong urged again.

"Gah, how big is Ganima? Didn't you see who the person who shouted two million is? My special code is for that one, and I'm not looking for death." Dong Shao rolled his eyes at the woman and cursed.

Young Master Dong knew Li Minghui, and even had some relationship with the two families, so Young Master Dong, who knew Li Minghui's strength, did not dare to come forward again.

"Two million and a half million." Chen Xuesheng also became angry and immediately added 50,000 yuan.

"Two million and a half million, two hundred..."

"Don't repeat yourself. I'll pay you 2.3 million." Li Minghui said to the auctioneer calmly and confidently.

"Okay, Mr. Li bid 2.3 million. I believe this price is very high. It is unlikely that anyone will..." The auctioneer also knew Li Minghui, so he tried to please him.

It's not that the auctioneer doesn't want the price to go higher, but he also feels that the price is beyond expectations and is already very high, making it difficult to raise anything further.

"Three million." This time the person bidding was not Chen Xuesheng, but Hu Mingchen.

"Wow!" Following the bang, people participating in the event exclaimed.

Li Minghui's increase in price by 200,000 to 300,000 yuan each time was considered arrogant. Who would have thought that someone even more arrogant would appear and increase the price by 700,000 yuan.

The starting price of something with a starting price of more than 400,000 yuan reached 3 million, which suddenly doubled several times.

This exclamation stimulated Li Minghui. Although it was just an auction bid, Li Minghui felt that it was no different from Hu Mingchen slapping him.

"Three million and two hundred thousand." Li Minghui, whose face turned red, aggressively added 200,000 to Hu Mingchen's amount.

For young men like them, especially top-level young men, the auction venue is not about buying things, but rather about buying face.

If someone else takes the thing you bid for, you will lose face.

"Four million." Hu Mingchen smiled faintly at Li Minghui and raised his number plate.

"Oh ho" came another exclamation.

The auctioneer himself was dumbfounded. He completely forgot about his responsibilities and stood behind the auction seat in a daze. The bidding was too fierce.

"Four million and two million." Not to be outdone, Li Minghui immediately responded.

"Five hundred...well, ninety-nine hundred thousand."

When everyone thought that the price Hu Mingchen shouted was five million, he paused for a moment, and then directly added 990,000 to the five million.

After shouting out the price of 5.99 million, Hu Mingchen looked at Li Minghui provocatively and smiled, as if to ridicule him again: I don't think you can add more this time?

Chen Xuesheng, who was sitting next to Hu Mingchen, also had the same mentality. What's going on? Aren't you buying it yourself? Why, when Hu Mingchen stepped in, the price was almost six million?

Who is suppressing whom with this special code?

"Xiaochen, you... why are you offering such a high price?"

"Haha, I was just shouting for fun."

Is this still fun? A few million, not a few hundred yuan. But when he thought about Hu Mingchen's wealth and wealth, Chen Xuesheng felt relieved. To him, these millions were about the same as a few hundred yuan.

"Six hundred and ninety-nine thousand." Li Minghui gritted his teeth and chased after him, shouting an even more outrageous price.

Li Minghui shouted, and everyone's attention turned to Hu Mingchen, waiting for him to continue.

But what they saw was not that Hu Mingchen raised his hands or raised a price, but that this guy began to close his eyes and relax.
