Reborn with wealth that rivals the country
Chapter 159 Jade Pig Dragon
The reason why he dared to say this was actually because Chen Mo remembered that in his last life, all the big leaks in this auction were bought by a man named Liang.
This shows that Geng Tong is not that capable at all to recognize those peerless treasures!
Coincidentally, Chen Mo clearly remembered the detailed information of various treasures in this auction.
Chen Mo's confidence also stems from this.
However, when Xiong Zhiwen heard this, he hesitated a little:
"Mr. Chen...can you really do it?"
If he was facing an expert with a slight weakness, Xiong Zhiwen might still trust Chen Mo.
But the other party is Geng Tong!
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the person who knows the most about antiques in Jianghai Province!
The so-called alternate lines are like mountains.
You, Chen Mo, are definitely a first-class expert in fortune telling and stock reading.
But antique appraisal...
Xiong Zhiwen didn't quite believe Chen Mo.
After all, Zhouyi Bagua has nothing to do with treasure appraisal!
Xiong Yifei said more directly:
"Can you please stop bragging at times like this?"
"That's Geng Tong! My master's master!"
"Do you know how many years he has been in the antiques and archeology circles? Do you know how many cultural exchanges he has had with antique experts at home and abroad?"
"Let me tell you, the blue and white bull vase in the Jianghai Provincial Museum, the red oil porcelain of Laozi riding an ox, the picture of Yuan Ji playing the piano against an ox, and other national treasures were all excavated and appraised by Geng Tong!"
"Don't you rely solely on your mouth to identify treasures?"
"Yifei, that's enough! Mr. Chen also has good intentions!" Xiong Zhiwen scolded.
There is no use saying these depressing words at this time.
The bridge has been formed, and everyone has told the provincial leaders that it is too late to leave now.
Xiong Zhiwen could only bite the bullet and follow along.
When he went to participate in the auction, Xiong Zhiwen also hinted to Chen Mo to restrain himself when bidding, so as not to be too easy for others to see.
To be honest, on the surface Chen Mo was confident, but on the inside he was also very nervous.
After all, in the previous life, someone picked it up and missed it at this auction!
It shows that he is not the only one with discernment!
And if Tan Xiangyang is indiscriminate and buys whatever you buy, wouldn't that be disgusting?
There are too many variables.
Chen Mo can only hope that Geng Tong and Tan Xiangyang will not act out of anger. Otherwise, Chen Mo will have to use some tricks.
About two hours later, the auction officially began.
Tan Xiangyang came directly and pulled Xiong Zhiwen to the area where provincial government staff were sitting.
Obviously, he wanted the leader to see Xiong Zhiwen in shame.
Chen Mo and Xiong Yifei followed.
It's just that Tan Xiangyang didn't take the two of them seriously at all, and just regarded them as two little brats.
After the group entered the venue, the host made a simple opening statement, and then let the leaders and organizers speak, and then it officially started.
The first collection is a bunch of copper coins, probably from the Ming Dynasty.
The color is very good and the pattern is clearly visible.
But no matter how good the quality is, this thing is just a copper coin after all, which is considered a relatively low-level item among antiques.
The real big boss looks down upon this thing.
But the people who come here are not all big bosses, there are also many people who don’t know the business.
I heard that it was from the Ming Dynasty, and it was in good condition and well preserved. In addition, the price was very low, so people immediately started bidding.
"5000!"
"8000!"
"10000!"
"12,000!"
When the price reached 12,000, Xiong Yifei directly raised her sign:
"15,000!"
Xiong Zhiwen said urgently: "What are you doing?"
"Uncle, believe me, you can make money from this bunch of copper coins!" Xiong Yifei said.
"This...hey, forget it, it's up to you!"
"18,000!"
"20000!"
In the end, Xiong Yifei bought the bunch of copper coins for 30,000 yuan.
"Little girl, copper coins are inherently difficult to sell. According to my experience, the highest market price for this string of copper coins is only 32,000, and it will have to hang in the auction house for a long time before it can be sold.
Key auction houses charge very high commissions, and well-connected auction houses even charge 20%!
You have to figure it out, and you might even get paid. "
One competitor shook his head and sighed.
"ah?"
Xiong Yifei's face instantly dropped in frustration.
The main event is here!
"Does the buyer need help from our on-site treasure appraisal team experts?"
the host asked.
The treasure appraisal experts invited for the auction are all well-known figures in the antique world!
"What's the point of appraisal? The compensation will be determined, it's a shame!"
Xiong Yifei pouted.
"I can't pay for it, so don't worry about the appraisal."
At this time, Geng Tong, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"Ah?" Xiong Yifei looked at Geng Tong confused.
"Look carefully at the lines on the copper coins. There are three water ripples engraved on the bottom.
This is because this string of copper coins is related to Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty. "
"At that time, the Ming Dynasty had not yet been established and the situation was unstable. King Cheng wanted to abolish the old coins and mint new ones. People were worried that the copper coins in their hands would become worthless, so they sold them in panic.
Shen Wansan saw the opportunity and bought a large amount at a very low price. He also had three water ripples carved on the coins, which meant that the money belonged to him, Shen Wansan, and he sank to the bottom of the river to avoid being remembered by traitors.
Later, Shen Wansan successfully persuaded King Cheng to allow the old coins to continue to be used, from which he earned nearly five times the price difference, becoming a legend in the business world. "
Geng Tong said calmly.
Xiong Yifei's eyes widened and she looked carefully.
really!
There are three water ripple textures!
She hurriedly asked the on-site expert team to conduct an appraisal.
The opinions of experts are exactly the same as what Geng Tong said.
"The recommended market price given by the expert group is 100,000 yuan. Congratulations to this buyer!"
Copper coins themselves are not very valuable, but if they are related to the legendary richest man Shen Wansan, it is different.
"Thank you, Master!" Xiong Yifei bowed respectfully to Geng Tong.
"Haha, a few copper coins are worth nothing.
If this is Shen Wansan's cornucopia, then it is truly a peerless treasure!
What a pity. I heard Master Cheng Wanlicheng, a legendary senior figure in the antique world, say that the cornucopia has been picked up by an expert. "
Geng Tong sighed.
"A person who can pick up a peerless treasure like a cornucopia must have such vicious eyes?!" Xiong Yifei's eyes showed longing.
Xiong Zhiwen looked very bad at this time.
It’s broken!
This Geng Tong seems to be stronger than he thought!
The second collection is more interesting. It looks like a dragon, but its head looks like a pig. The body is dark red. I don’t know what material it is made of.
The host looked at the information and said: "This collection was provided by Zhongtian Antique Company. According to the appraisal, it should be a treasure from the Warring States Period.
Although the main body is severely stained, its historical value is extremely high. The starting price is 300,000, with a minimum increase of 20,000 each time! "
There was silence in the venue.
There is too little information!
I just know that it is an object from the Warring States Period, but there is no other information.
This shows that Zhongtian Antiques Company doesn’t know where this thing comes from.
In addition, the main body was seriously stained, so it was probably used by the auction company as a fake.
No one bid, which made the host a little embarrassed, so he could only quickly heighten the atmosphere and stimulate everyone to bid.
Xiong Zhiwen looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo shook his head and signaled him not to take pictures.
At the same time, Geng Tong smiled confidently and said to Tan Xiangyang:
"Mr. Tan, it's time to take action."
"Master Geng, have you figured out the origin of this thing?" Tan Xiangyang asked curiously.
"It's natural."
Geng Tong said proudly:
"This is the Jade Pig Dragon produced during the Warring States Period, also known as the Jade Beast Jue. It is considered to be the earliest prototype of a dragon.
This thing is an ancient religious ritual vessel, shaped like an embryo, representing life and eternity, and has high historical significance. "
"I see, Master Geng is really well-informed and can recognize even such vague things at a glance." Tan Xiangyang admired.
"Haha, it sounds like it's all together, because no one has studied this before. When I was teaching students at the university, I specialized in related topics, so I know more about it than others.
To put it bluntly, there are few people in the entire antique world who know more about the research on the Jade Pig Dragon than I do. Geng Tong smiled.
“Oh, that means this Jade Pig Dragon is destined to Master Geng!
I will buy it now and give it to Master Geng! "
With that said, Tan Xiangyang directly raised his sign:
"300000!"
Someone recognized Geng Tong.
Thinking that this person might be worth some money, someone gritted his teeth and increased the price several times.
But when the price reached 450,000, no one followed.
In the end, Tan Xiangyang got this item for 450,000.
"After appraisal by an expert appraisal team, this item is a jade pig dragon from the Warring States Period. The recommended market price is 800,000!"
