Chapter 659 Dzi Beads
Chapter 659 Drama
Liu Sheng looked at Jiang Qingtong. He planned to take a photo of this bloodstone seal for his grandfather. Next month it will be his grandfather's 80th birthday. It happened that the old man also liked to collect it. This bloodstone seal can express his feelings very much.
He is now very sure that Jiang Qingtong is just arguing with him. He has not seen Jiang Qingtong bid before. After all the other buyers withdraw, this person emerged, obviously coming for him.
Although he was so angry that his teeth were itchy, he had no choice but to do so. The two families were mortal enemies, so he could not let the other party stop, so he could only continue to increase the price.
Liu Sheng: "I will pay 20 million!"
"Wow! No! Twenty million, this Young Master Liu is really a big deal!"
"Hehe, you're too superficial! Can't you tell me?
Is this Jiang Shao deliberately carrying a sedan chair for Liu Sheng?"
Carrying a sedan is also a jargon in the auction, which means that someone sees that someone has bought a certain item and deliberately raises the price, so that the latter can get the item at a very inflated price.
"It seems that these two young men are not as calm and friendly as they act! This is the first item, and the fight is so fierce!"
At this time, even Zhang Baiya, who hosted the auction, couldn't help but look at Liu Sheng. No one knew the items today better than her. The price of about 10 million yuan was sold at a high price of 20 million yuan. According to her experience, it seems that it will not stop there, and may even increase it. This is indeed beyond her expectations for a premiere.
At this time, Jiang Qingtong started raising the sign again, and the same one was only added with 500,000 yuan.
It is obvious that it is to carry the sedan chair for Liu Sheng without any concealment.
Next, the auction entered the show of two young masters. One person raised the price and the other person immediately raised the sign. Even Ouyang Sheng on the stage was too lazy to read out the former's offer.
Until the two of them increased the price to 40 million, no one in the audience made a slight noise except for Liu Sheng's quotation and the slight sound of Jiang Qingtong raising the sign. The huge conference hall can be heard.
Many young bosses who participated in the auction for the first time had sweat oozing from their heads.
It's so exciting. This is the first item! I originally planned to pick up some vacancy, but now I'm afraid I've come to the wrong place.
Zhong Liang was very calm. In his opinion, this was just a pain point that Liu Sheng was caught and quarreled hard.
As Jiang Qingtong raised the sign again, Ouyang Sheng quoted a price of 40.5 million.
Liu Sheng was so angry that he clenched his teeth. In his opinion, it was no longer a battle between him and Jiang Qingtong. This had already risen to the company level. It was a contest between Mangshu and Fang Zheng. Liu Sheng could give up this auction. At worst, he could go to the antique shop and find a bloodstone seal, but he could not, Founder Finance could not give in.
"Four thousand five million!"
Liu Sheng quoted his own price.
"Hiss", many people took a breath.
"My goodness! It's nine times higher than the starting price of 5 million."
"Do you think Mr. Jiang will increase the price?"
"It's definitely true! Look at Mr. Jiang's calm and composed look, he must have come prepared."
However, this time Jiang Qingtong was beyond everyone's expectations and he did not raise his sign again.
Ouyang Sheng on the stage began to speak out: "Mr. Liu, Is there anyone who bids for 45 million yuan? "
Although his eyes glanced at the audience, his main sight was still on Jiang Qingtong. He knew that if someone had to increase the price, 99% of the price would be Jiang Shao.
However, Jiang Qingtong still did not raise the sign.
Ouyang Sheng had no choice but to continue, "Four-five million for the first time, 45 million for the second time, 45 million for the third time."
At this point, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they all looked at Jiang Qingtong, looking forward to his reaction.
However, Jiang Qingtong was always as stable as Mount Tai.
"Bang!"
The wooden hammer fell.
"I announced the first lot, the early Qing Dynasty chicken bloodstone seal, obtained by Mr. Liu Sheng."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. It was so exciting. If such a situation happened a few more times, even normal people would have to become heart disease.
Liu Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief and finally got the picture. But when he saw Jiang Qingtong's calm and gentle appearance, the excitement and excitement he should have disappeared. The contrast between the two fell into the eyes of others. He did not look like a winner, but instead he looked like a person who was given a gift. Thinking of this, he felt like he was fed a flies.
Unlike the excitement and excitement of other onlookers, Zhang Baiya was a little worried. She was worried that the finale would not be able to be sold at a higher price than this one. Although this auction was also very successful, it would inevitably seem a bit terrible.
The next two items seemed to be no longer interested. At first, the others were a little worried that Liu Sheng would use that trick again in the end, so they were very careful about quoting. Unexpectedly, neither of them appeared until the end of the auction. The second item, a small underglaze red bowl from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, finally dropped the hammer for 13 million.
The third lot is a blue and white plate from the Shunzhi period, and the hammer is hammered at a price of 20 million.
Without the participation of the two young masters, the auction seemed to have entered a normal mode.
Ouyang Shenglang said: "The following is the fourth lot, a Plateau Centennial Dzi bead."
Dzi beads are also known as cat's eye stone. The ancestors in the plateau area believed that Dzi beads were supernatural objects created by gods and the most sacred and pure gems descended from heaven, among which the most valuable ones have been blessed by the great monks on the plateau.
As Ouyang Sheng finished speaking, a beautiful cheongsam entered the venue with a tray. The audience with a good vision watched directly through their eyes, while those sitting behind were watching through the big screen.
This is a very ordinary Dzi bead. The white patterns on it are very obvious. There are six paths in total, also known as the Six-Eyed Dzi bead. The patina is brown and seems to have been worn for a while. However, Dzi beads are very easy to fake. If it were not for the recognition of the Provincial Museum and the King of Heaven Auction, perhaps the buyers here would associate it with the craft Dzi beads on the street.
Ouyang Sheng's voice came again: "The starting price of this Dzi bead is one million, please start bidding."
It was also very concise, but the response from the audience was mediocre. It took a long time later that a small boss raised the sign and did not offer the bid, which would be 1.5 million.
The auction hall was silent, and no one seemed to be optimistic about this Dzi bead. Anyone who knows how to do know that there are many types of Dzi beads, from one glance to the twelve eyes. Eyes represent the symbol and artistic conception of totem, and were also explained by the plateau monks as the final state of Buddhist practice.
There is a saying among the Dzi beads, that is, after the Dzi beads are blessed by the great monks, their vows can prevent disasters and escape for the wearer, but if they turn to the second master, they will no longer be effective.
Therefore, most wealthy people buy Dzi beads directly in large temples on the plateau, and buy them in the hands of great monks instead of in antique shops or in auction houses.
Zhang Baiya also frowned at this time. She was worried that the Dzi bead would not be sold well. The items in the auction were at the treasure appraisal conference held in the museum. After the private collector took the initiative to obtain the museum for appraisal, he participated in the auction with the other party's consent.
The owner of this Dzi bead is a terminally ill old man. His family really couldn't afford medical expenses, so he took out the Dzi bead for auction.
Although the quality of this Dzi bead is not high, it is only six eyes, but after all, it has been passed down in the old man’s house for hundreds of years. She estimated the old man to be three million at that time. Now it seems that this price is difficult to achieve!
When the bead was taken out, Zhong Liang felt a familiar smell on it, which looked like the feeling brought to him by the jade lotus platform. It was right to think about it. After all, they are all Buddhist items. They have lived for so long, and they must have been infected with the power of Buddha!
But he was not very interested in this bead, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
