Christie's Auction originated in London and is now world-famous with offices everywhere. Christie's holds a spring auction every spring, with time and location not fixed.

This time, Christie's Spring Auction was held at the London Base Camp, and the items to be auctioned were announced one month in advance.

The reason why the Chinese collection circle is going to make a big fuss this time is that Christie's's spring auction is targeting China, and most of them are treasures plundered during the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Qianlong seals, original works of Qianlong's calligraphy, and some objects from the Qing courts back then, etc. Although there are no animal heads, they are all stolen cultural relics.

Last time, Mr. Cai smashed Christie's place in China, refused to pay after taking the beast's head, which made the beast's head absent, and made a big mistake internationally. In fact, this is the pride of collectors. You auctioned the treasures handed down by my Chinese ancestors and were stolen treasures. Why should I pay? The treasures passed down by my Chinese people are priceless!

And this time, people in the circle came again, and they still formed cliques and the intention of smashing the situation was very obvious. Of course, it is still a little bit of whether it will succeed. After all, this is the territory of the United Kingdom.

Tang Linjun glared at Zhang Weijian when he met the next day, and Zhang Weijian didn't know why Xiao Tang glared at him, and he didn't offend him.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two of them took a special car to Christie's London Auction House. Originally, Zhang Weijian wanted to take his goddaughter, but he could only bring one ticket with him, so he decisively left some money to let his goddaughter go shopping.

"Old Zhang." Just as Zhang Weijian took Tang Linjun out of the car, two people walked up to the auction house. They were both Chinese, and they were about the same age as Zhang Weijian and dressed the same. They were in a unified Tang suit. The two looked a little more elegant, completely different from Zhang Weijian's ruthless aura hidden in their bones.

"Old Zhao, Lao Yang, haha." Zhang Weijian laughed loudly, and the two of them hugged each other and clasped each other.

"Is this?" Lao Zhao and Lao Yang looked at Tang Linjun strangely because they knew that Zhang Weijian brought his goddaughter, why did he change to a man now? Could it be that Zhang Weijian has special hobbies?

Zhang Weijian did not think of the dirty thoughts in Lao Zhao and Lao Yang, but immediately introduced: "Tang Linjun, my friend, is also a person in the circle, and today I am just here to join in the fun."

"Hello, I wonder where Brother Tang gets rich?" Old Zhao took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

"Hong Kong." Tang Linjun answered the word "Hong Kong" with a smile, because his current ID card is from Hong Kong.

"Hong Kong?" Lao Zhao and Lao Yang were slightly surprised. They also knew some people in the Hong Kong collector circle, but this Tang Linjun was very close. Of course, it was normal for them to know friends all over the world. But since Tang Linjun is a member of the Hong Kong collector circle, why was Zhang Weijian brought into the venue? You know, there were also many people coming to Hong Kong today, and some bigwigs from the collector circle attended.

"Hey, let's stop standing at the door, go in and talk." At this time, Zhang Weijian interrupted a few exchanges, and at the same time he wondered whether Tang Linjun really made a fortune in Hong Kong?

The main auction at Christie's London headquarters is very large, with very strict security, and there are many people attending today. As the saying goes, gold is hidden in troubled times and jade is hidden in prosperous times.

In troubled times, paper currency is just a piece of paper, so gold is a hard currency. In any era, even in a few hundred years, gold is a real inheritance wealth. Therefore, in troubled times, it is said that if you don’t hide money, it’s just a hidden gold.

But in the prosperous era, that is, in the present peaceful era, jade will be hidden. Of course, this jade does not refer to a separate jade, but classic, meaningful, appreciative, rare items, antiques, and rare items. Therefore, when the prosperous era is collected, famous calligraphy and paintings, etc., these will be passed down, and after a hundred years, it will be more valuable than gold.

Therefore, in recent years, antique collections have always been popular. There is no war in the world. If you have spare money to collect some rare treasures for your descendants, it will also be a blessing for your descendants.

Of course, there are also people who make money by reselling antiques. This type of person is like Zhang Weijian, who is purely speculative for profit.

Christie's Spring Auction is also the Chinese Cultural Relics Season, so many people have seen business opportunities. Collectors from all over the world gather here. The spacious hall is crowded with people, with at least six or seven hundred people.

Tang Linjun and Zhang Weijian found their seats and naturally separated from Lao Zhao and Lao Yang.

There are two hanging projection screens in front of the venue, and two hosts, one man and one woman, are busy on the stage. The auction has not officially begun, and they are preparing materials.

"How did you discuss?" Tang Linjun suddenly lowered his voice.

Zhang Weijian also lowered his voice and said, "Like Mr. Cai last year, he prepared to make a quote, but in the end he didn't pay!"

"No gold suppression?" Tang Linjun said curiously.

"Of course there is, but that's all small money." Zhang Wei was rich and arrogant, and didn't know how much he called small money.

However, Tang Linjun frowned and felt that this was not possible. Not only did Christie's get cheaper, but in the end he raised the price of the collection. Maybe Christie's wanted them to do this.

"Is there any secret code?" Tang Linjun asked again.

"Yes, there are two heavyweights in the circle. Let's just wait for their code. If they offer a quote, we will goug them. If they don't make a sound, we don't have to speak."

"I understand." Tang Linjun nodded. It seemed that the two heavyweights were of great weight and could actually influence domestic collectors.

At 9:00 a.m., the auction officially began. The host spoke English, and of course there were also simultaneous interpretation equipment. As long as you don’t understand English, you can wear a headphone like a United Nations meeting and adjust it to a language you can understand.

The first item is a blue and white porcelain plate, which is obviously an object passed down from China's ancestors. It was in the early Qing Dynasty and the base price was 50,000 US dollars, which is not expensive.

As soon as the plate came out, several foreigners in the venue began to bid, not knowing whether it was a child caregiver or a real collector, but none of them were quoted by the Chinese.

Soon, from 50,000 to 210,000, several people competing to 210,000 in the venue gradually stopped. Obviously, the 210,000 US dollars was already a very high price.

"Twenty-one thousand times per time." The host is very experienced. After saying it once, he introduced the origin of this plate, estimated room for appreciation, etc.

“Two ten thousand times.”

Some of them were talking whispering to each other, but no one offered any more, and even the Chinese collectors who smashed the venue did not say anything.

"Two 10,000 three times, the deal!" The host seemed to have a little doubt in his eyes. He glanced at the Chinese just now, but those people were indifferent. In fact, they knew that there were Chinese people coming to smash the ground again in Christie's? But they were not afraid of smashing, so it would be better to smash the fire.

"What's going on? Why didn't they say anything?" Zhang Weijian was anxious. According to the original plan, this was not the case.

Tang Linjun smiled slightly. He had already guessed that the two heavyweights must have guessed Christie's' plan, so he was just watching the fun. As for the crackdown, it no longer exists. Domestic collectors are not stupid. There are many ways to smash the market, so why bother to raise the price? Why let your margin flow into the pockets of the foreigners?

The second item is still a Chinese cultural relic, but a weapon is replaced by a waist knife.

The host introduced: "This knife was also from the early Qing Dynasty. It has been more than 300 years now. It is not rotten or immortal. According to the collectors who provided this knife, this knife was once a beheaded knife. In the capital of China, there was a Caishikou, where it was the place to cut and kill criminals. This knife is the kind of knife that performs punishment!"

"Wow" As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone in the venue began to talk, but no one took a photo, because this kind of knife is an unlucky thing in the eyes of foreigners and will bring bad luck, so there is no quote.

Tang Linjun had already shined brightly at this time, because when the knife appeared, he sensed a huge murderous aura, resentment, and abuse. This knife may have cut off many people's heads, so the knife has become a magic weapon.

"This is a magic weapon formed after tomorrow!" Tang Linjun sighed: "How many people's heads have to be cut off to become such a powerful beheading knife?"

"Damn it seems that it is necessary to loot at night. If you rob us Chinese, I will take it back!" Tang Linjun had an idea and laughed. He suddenly remembered that he could draw the hidden track talisman. If he wore the hidden track talisman to steal things at night, he would definitely be able to get it without a trace!

"But I hope you won't be photographed. If you are photographed, it will be difficult to find!" Tang Linjun prayed silently.

"Thirty thousand dollars!" At this moment, the words "thirty thousand dollars" appeared on the big screen, and the quotation was a foreign beauty at the 19th position.

Large auctions like this have long cancelled the quotation method of raising a bid. After all, the venue is too large and bidding is too chaotic. Therefore, high-tech means are used. Each guest has a computer screen in front of him. As long as you quote the price, your quotation will be displayed on the large screen in front, and your seat number will be displayed to confirm who you are.

"Damn it, this is a child care provider. There are few foreigners who collect swords. I don't believe that a woman dares to collect such beheading knives!" Zhang Weijian snorted.

"Brother Zhang, do you have any acquaintances in the UK? Local acquaintances?" Tang Linjun suddenly asked.

"No, why?" Zhang Weijian chuckled and said, "I am just a nouveau riche. I used to dig holes and dig people's ancestral graves. How could I know any foreigners?"
