The little girl Wang Yuanyuan pulled down the sleeves on both hands and covered her wrists. When she heard Mr. Lin say she wanted to buy her own things, she immediately shook her head, and her little face was unwilling.
Wang Cheng said directly: "It's impossible. If Mr. Lin is doing this, then don't say it anymore."
Yang Wuji and Monk Wuxin both looked at the little girl Wang Yuanyuan with bright eyes. This girl didn't speak normally and followed Wang Cheng obediently. Neither of them paid much attention to it, but she didn't expect that there was such a valuable thing on her body.
One is worth 100 million, wouldn’t those two be worth 100 million?
Thinking of this, even Fang Jinwen and Wang Hengjiang took a breath. The rich people around him widened their eyes. The accessories on the hands of a little girl were worth 100 million. Even though they were all rich people, their net worth was at least more than billions. They usually witnessed masters who show off their wealth in various ways, but they had never seen such a luxury.
Moreover, it is so luxurious and low-key that you can't see it if you don't pay attention. Even if you see it, you won't know the baby if you are not an expert.
This is the highest level of showing off one's wealth. I'm showing off one's wealth. I'm showing off one's power, and right next to you, you just don't know.
All the rich are admired and have learned it in my heart.
But I’m very curious, what is this little girl and this young man? My family is so willing to spend money on them? I’m so low-key, I think I’m not an ordinary nouveau riche.
Mr. Lin also thought that the other party's identity was probably very unusual, and said regretfully: "That's because I was abrupt. Such a superb knife technique is really rare, especially since this jade is also of high water type, it should be imperial green, right?"
Wang Cheng smiled, but did not answer his question.
Although there are all rich people here, there is nothing great about having an imperial green jade jewelry, but he still thinks there is no need to do it. Everyone knows it.
Bang!
At this time, the auction began, and everyone on the scene calmed down and looked at the stage.
Wang Cheng and Wang Yuanyuan stopped talking, but Wang Cheng was still muttering in his heart. Mr. Lin’s eyesight was really extraordinary. He could see at a glance that the little girl’s bracelets and bracelets were handmade. It was obvious that the quality of jade was very high, but this was not very difficult. It was definitely possible for professionals.
However, Wang Cheng was still a little confident in his own cutting skills. It was a skill he had been focusing on for more than ten years. He was definitely the only one. He had no semicolons and could even wear them without polishing.
The appearance looks absolutely not much different from what is produced by ordinary mechanical production, but Mr. Lin still saw it. His vision is absolutely sharp, and he is probably a colleague of carving, or at least he is engaged in jewelry and jade.
A middle-aged man walked out and was today's auctioneer. His voice was very clear and loud: "Everyone is welcome to attend today's auction. There are friends from Da, Mainland, friends from Treasure Island, and friends from Nanyang. The most are local friends from Hong Kong Island. Most of them are businessmen, so harmony brings wealth, and harmony brings wealth, haha..."
Some applause rang out at the scene.
The auctioneer continued, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore. Anyway, everyone is not here to see me. Let's come up with the first item first."
The auctioneer clapped his hands, and a tall beauty dressed in a cheongsam walked out of the backstage. She was holding a bun with a graceful step, holding a porcelain more than one foot tall in her hand. The beauty smiled and placed the porcelain on the table, then turned around and left.
The auctioneer smiled and said, "Don't look at the beauty, look at this porcelain."
The starting price of the first piece of porcelain was 500,000 yuan. The items from the official kiln in the Ming Dynasty were finally bought by a wealthy man from the eastern part of the mainland for three million yuan.
This thing is worth one million at most, but it is finally bought at three times the price. This is why many people want to send their things to auctions. The price will be much inflated. If you encounter a few particularly favorite scrambles, it is not surprising to sell it at a price ten times the market price.
The items were taken out, including gold ware from the Tang and Song dynasties, porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties, calligraphy and painting from the Yuan dynasties, porcelain from the Qing dynasties, porcelain from the Qing dynasties, etc., which were all valuable treasures.
Fang Jinwen and Wang Hengjiang did not take action at once, as if they were talking about the two ancient books they brought back from France.
Wang Cheng and Wang Yuanyuan were still interested in watching it, but after watching it for a while, they were not interested. If it wasn't for the fact that they would seem rude to leave midway, they probably would have left directly on the third auction item. It would be better to go back to watch TV or practice boxing.
Only Mr. Lin next to him still looked at Wang Yuanyuan's wrist from time to time, obviously he was obsessed with the jade jewelry on Wang Yuanyuan's hand.
The little girl Wang Yuanyuan also felt something and stuffed her hands into the pocket of her brother Wang Cheng next to her, but she just won't show it to you.
Bang!
The lights at the scene dimmed. The auctioneer placed two ancient books on the table in the middle, and the camera enlarged and projected them on the curtain behind. Both books were covered with red cloth. The auctioneer lifted one of the red cloths, which clearly showed the details of the ancient book.
The ancient book has three seal characters written in the nine kingdoms, which made many people at the scene widen their eyes, and many experts who are aware of their profession seem unbelievable.
Because this book is really famous in history, it is the history of nine of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the Later Tang Dynasty written by the historian Lu Zhen of the Song Dynasty. Later, someone added another country's history and completely improved the description of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but it has always been called the Nine Kingdoms.
This book has always been an isolated book and has not been printed on a large scale. The last collector in history was Qian Qianyi. It is rumored that this book was destroyed in a fire in the Qing Dynasty.
Many people shook their heads and admired them. Unexpectedly, they were not destroyed, but hid in the palace. Later, they were invaded by the Eight-Nation Alliance and snatched away. They were wandered to France for a century and are now back to Hong Kong Island. They appeared at the auction.
The rich people participating in the auction will invite one or two experts in knowing antiques to avoid buying fakes by themselves. At this time, these antique experts were shocked to see this book.
If this thing is real, then it is hard to say that it is a national treasure. It is definitely precious than Tang Yin's calligraphy and paintings, and it is not much inferior to Wang Xizhi's original works of Lanting Xu.
Because this is the only historical biography that comprehensively describes the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
"I didn't expect it was the Nine Kingdoms."
"Is it true?"
"I have some doubts that the Nine Kingdoms was burned down by a fire in history. At that time, Qian Qianyi, the person who collected this book, caught fire in his library. Many lonely ancient books were burned down, and the Nine Kingdoms was the most famous of them."
"Indeed, this fire is recorded in history. The Nine Kingdoms was destroyed, and Qian Qianyi and Kangxi both regretted it."
"It may also be that the Qing royal family deliberately set fire and swallowed up Qian Qianyi's collection of books."
The scene suddenly became lively. Compared to the sound of only yelling prices just now, it was crowded with people. Because of the appearance of this book, many people were a little unbelievable.
The auctioneer smiled and said, "You may have questions about this Nine Kingdoms Book. Indeed, we couldn't believe it at that time. So we made various appraisals and finally confirmed that the book should be true. It was really the Nine Kingdoms Book of the Song Dynasty, and it was also the one recorded in history that was burned in Qian Qianyi's library. So it is speculated that the fire should have been intentional. The library was burned, but the library should still be there."
"So, we boldly speculate that not only the Nine Kingdoms are still there, but another lonely book, Ten Kingdoms Anniversary collected by Qian Qianyi, may also be in this world, but we have not found it yet. If anyone has any questions, they can come and check it out in person."
Many people are waiting for this sentence from the auctioneer.
Five or six people immediately stood up to check, most of them were old men, experts who were quite knowledgeable about antiques. Wang Cheng, who had always been bored, became curious, so he also got up and wanted to go and take a look.
"Wang Cheng, do you understand antiques too?"
Fang Jinwen asked in surprise. He thought he knew Wang Cheng best here, but he didn't expect that Wang Cheng still knew antiques, which he never knew.
Wang Hengjiang, Yang Wuji and others also looked at Wang Cheng in confusion and surprise. Only the little girl Wang Yuanyuan had a natural expression. Anyway, her brother was omnipotent in her eyes and could do anything.
Wang Cheng laughed in a low voice, glanced on Mr. Lin's face, and said, "I don't understand much, I'm just curious about this book, so go and see, Yuanyuan, sit here obediently, monk, you can take a look."
Wang Yuanyuan nodded obediently, and Monk Wuxin also nodded fiercely.
Yang Wuji snorted.
Wang Cheng didn't even look at Yang Wuji, and followed the two old men behind him to the auction table.
Jiuguozhi is placed on a table in the middle, with a box of white gloves next to it. If you want to buy it, you have to wear gloves.
Wang Cheng must have wanted to take a look at it himself, so he honestly wore gloves, which made the two old men behind him look at Wang Cheng curiously, because Wang Cheng was too young and was just a child in their eyes. He didn't have any bookish aura on his body, and he didn't look like he knew antiques at all.
The bodyguards stood around and looked at everyone who came into contact with the Nine Kingdoms with all their attention. The auctioneer also smiled and greeted the people he knew.
"Old Zhang, you are here too, thank you for your support."
"You are not simple. You have found the Nine Kingdoms. This is a national treasure."
"Master Liu, how do you see it?"
"It should be true, a national treasure."
Several old men who were accustomed to read it all nodded in admiration, praising this as a national treasure. They all said that things should be true, or to be precise, in their opinion, this book is true.
However, when Wang Cheng got started, he immediately frowned slightly because he knew that the book was fake as soon as he touched the antique. When he touched the antique, he would see some air masses. The age and preciousness of the antiques were different. The color and size of the air masses were different. But when he picked up this Nine Kingdoms Book, there was no breath to see. This means that this was an ordinary modern book.
Fake.
In an instant, Wang Cheng determined that this book of Nine Kingdoms was fake.
Perhaps, it is not necessarily that the Nine Kingdoms are really burned down in that fire as recorded in history.
However, Wang Cheng knew it was fake, but he couldn't say it. Because the organizer of the auction must have confirmed that it was real after identification and confirmation that it was real, it would only be used for auction. Moreover, the two antique experts just now confirmed that this was a real thing, and they both called for national treasures.
Then the imitation level of this book, Nine Kingdoms, is absolutely superb. It has deceived many expert instruments.
Wang Cheng is definitely an amateur novice in antiques. He just uses his extra special abilities to identify them. There will be no surprises in identifying antiques like this. It is real, and fake is fake.
But he would not be able to let Wang Cheng explain to others one, two or three.
So, Wang Cheng frowned and put down the Nine Kingdoms Book, took off his gloves without saying a word, and walked out of the audience.
The auctioneer still smiled politely and asked, "How are you watching with a little brother?"
Wang Cheng shook his head slightly with a calm expression and walked down.
Suddenly, the lively scene became quiet because this was the focus. Almost everyone looked at it and naturally saw Wang Cheng shook his head.
Many rich and antique experts who were whispering in the field looked at Wang Cheng, the young man. The smile on the auctioneer's face also solidified, and his eyes stared at Wang Cheng's back, because Wang Cheng did not stop and walked down.
"Little brother."
The auctioneer looked around and saw many people looking at their place and hurriedly shouting: "Little brother, why are you shaking your head? Do you think this book of Nine Kingdoms is fake?"
Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment and saw that almost everyone, including Fang Jinwen, Wang Hengjiang and others, looked at him, knowing that he probably said the wrong thing just now.
Wait, I didn't say anything? I just shook my head, wouldn't I let it shake?
Wang Cheng looked back at the auctioneer in surprise and said, "Can't I shake my head?"
"Little brother, you shook your head, it must be because you think it's not good. Can you tell me, what do you think is wrong in our Nine Kingdoms Book?"
The auctioneer asked in a somewhat unkind tone.
This is the auction site, and many of their parents are watching. They cannot tolerate any mistakes, as they are related to their credibility. Those who do the auction industry rely on their face and reputation to make a living.
What would they think if so many wealthy and antique experts saw Wang Cheng shook their heads, and the organizer did not explain?
To be continued...
