Shenhao Starts With Antique Treasure Appraisal

Next, is the auction session of the charity banquet.

As the most important guest at the banquet, Tang Yunqing naturally had to give a speech before the auction, so he was escorted to the auction hall to prepare.

Tang Xiaoyu didn't go, so of course Li Tianming had to accompany him.

The two of them walked aimlessly. Although they didn't talk much, they felt much more relaxed and happy than when they followed the "big army" just now.

At this time, the two came to the display case of the Tang Dynasty's hairpin. There were still many guests surrounding it, all pointing at the treasure.

Tang Xiaoyu said: "That hairpin is really pretty, Li Tianming, you always receive good things."

Li Tianming looked at Tang Xiaoyu's profile, which was fair, delicate, and elegant.

Li Tianming couldn't help but said: "I will find a better and more beautiful one in the future, and then... give it to you."

Tang Xiaoyu turned to look at Li Tianming and blinked her big eyes. Li Tianming found that her eyelashes were particularly long.

"give me?"

"Well, I'll give it to you."

Tang Xiaoyu smiled but said nothing.

Li Tianming took it as her acquiescence.

Soon, the auction began.

The auction was held in the main ballroom.

The guests were all seated in the venue, holding hand-raising signs, waiting for the auction to officially begin.

First, Binzhou City Party Secretary Tang Yunqing took the stage to deliver a speech.

Basically, it is to thank the organizer of this charity banquet and the guests who provided the auction items.

Then he explained the use and rules of the proceeds from this auction.

Tang Yunqing is indeed an excellent politician, with good eloquence and clear logic in his speech, and he does not feel drowsy when listening to it.

After Tang Yunqing finished speaking, the auctioneer came on stage and the sale officially began.

Because this is not a formal antique auction after all, most of the auction items are not too valuable.

There are even some personal items mixed in, such as LV bags, Hermès belts, and Rolex watches.

Therefore, the guests' interest was not particularly high at the beginning, and only a few items were sold.

Later, some antiques and jade ornaments appeared, and the scene became a little lively.

"Dear guests, the following picture is extraordinary. It is the literal meaning of Li Shutong."

"You may not be too familiar with Li Shutong, but you should have heard of Master Hongyi's name. Li Shutong is Master Hongyi's real name."

"This calligraphy and painting is Li Shutong's original handwriting, 'Be friends with the virtuous'."

As the auctioneer spoke, an overview of the entire calligraphy and painting was displayed on the big screen.

However, maybe Li Shutong's calligraphy was unusual, so the response from the guests was not too enthusiastic. Only a few people knew the product and seemed interested.

Of course Tang Yunqing was determined to get the calligraphy painting, and his secretary Lu Chao took the photo.

As expected, Li Tianming finally bought this calligraphy and painting by Li Shutong for 2 million yuan.

Next, it was Huang Yunxing’s turn.

When the bronze tripod appeared on the big screen, many guests' eyes lit up, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

It’s no wonder that this small-scale tripod is very delicate and compact, and its shape is very pleasing, so there are still many people who are interested in it.

Huang Yunxing felt quite proud when he saw this situation.

Zhao Fenglin was sitting next to Huang Yunxing, and he whispered: "It seems that Li Tianming is talking nonsense, your cauldron should be a hot commodity.

Huang Yunxing snorted coldly: "Who the hell is that surnamed Li? He really treats himself like a green onion. I want to see if my treasure is only worth a hundred thousand yuan as he said."

At this time, the auctioneer spoke.

"Look, everyone, this bronze tripod is called the Taotie Pattern Gilt Cauldron. There is a Taotie animal face on each of the three sides of the tripod, which is very mysterious."

"The material is made of bronze, and some parts of the tripod are gilded. The craftsmanship is very exquisite."

"This Qing Dynasty bronze tripod handicraft has a starting price of 100,000 yuan."

When he heard the starting price, Huang Yunxing's face froze and became extremely ugly.

When the guests heard that this was a bronze tripod from the Qing Dynasty, their enthusiasm immediately subsided.

For bronzes, those before the Han Dynasty can be considered classics.

Later bronzes are no longer real bronzes, they are called "imitation bronzes", and their collection value decreases rapidly as time goes by.

The Qing Dynasty bronzes are even less interesting.

Therefore, Huang Yunxing's gilt tripod stove with gluttonous pattern was finally sold to a businessman for 135,000 yuan.

As for Huang Yunxing, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a long time.

After all, the auction at this charity banquet is not a formal antique auction. The focus is on "charity", not how much it costs.

Therefore, after experts evaluate the auction items provided by the guests, the providers will not be notified of the detailed starting price.

Otherwise, Huang Yunxing would definitely not continue to let this bronze tripod be photographed.

This is so embarrassing!

When Huang Yunxing was feeling ashamed, a shining golden object appeared on the big screen.

The entire banquet venue suddenly became excited.

There is no doubt that it is Li Tianming's Tang Dynasty agate and gilt walking hairpin.

Even the auctioneer seemed to be a little more excited.

"."Dear guests, everyone has finally waited for this top-notch auction item."

"I think everyone has seen the real thing and will be very surprised. Why is this golden hairpin so big?"

“After our experts’ appraisal, we found that this is a gilt-onyx walking hairpin from the Tang Dynasty. Not only is the main part made of pure gold, but even several of the pendants are made of gold wire.

"Look at the green agate on the hairpin. Our experts also conducted a strict appraisal. It is the best of the best! After thousands of years, it is still shining with brilliance!"

"And the two eyes of this butterfly are also made of the finest Hetian jade, which is pure white and flawless."

"Maybe you don't know that our (Li Nuo's) National Museum also has a gilt walking hairpin with the same shape, but the pendant of that piece is made of silver wire, and its value is not as good as ours. This piece at auction can be said to be a national treasure among national treasures.

"In the Tang Dynasty, anyone who owned such a Bu Yaochai must be a member of the royal family!"

Some guests below were already impatient and shouted: "Let's start talking about the bidding price!"

The auctioneer smiled and said: "The starting price for this gilt-onyx walking hairpin is...

"Twenty-two million soft yuan!"

The entire banquet venue was in an uproar. Who would have thought that at such a charity auction, they would see over 10 million auction items? It was an eye-opener.

You know, even if this walking hairpin is sold at the starting price of the auction, if 10% is taken, there will still be more than 2 million yuan in charity.

This is a big deal!

Who is the provider of this golden hairpin from the Tang Dynasty? The guests have already begun to inquire. .
