The back hall of the small building is very spacious, with lights in the middle, which is extremely bright. There are several circles of seats around, and guests take their seats one after another.

This kind of private auction is not formal, and the process is much simpler than a large auction. You can participate in the auction by paying a deposit. No one knows what kind of lots you will encounter before coming, and each lot is on the spot.

The auction on the spot was a thrill!

The auction invited five senior appraisers, in addition to Ma Shaotian and Liu Yan, Li Rui's old acquaintance Mr. Jin Wenshan, as well as Professor Zhong Jianjiang from Haizhou University and Researcher Zu Yuqing from the Cultural Exchange.

These are all famous antique calligraphy and painting appraisal experts in Haizhou. They are both academic schools and eccentrics, so there is no need to say the appraisal skills.

However, the auction also has a disclaimer clause, and several experts only provide appraisal opinions and are not responsible.

If you really get out of sight, the buyer will bear the risk of losing money.

Jing Ruohai acted as the host himself. After saying a few words, he took out the first item, which was a bronze Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty.

Professor Zhong Jianjiang is an expert in Buddha statues. He took them over and played with them for a simple play. He nodded and said: This is a statue of Guanyin in Fenghao. Why is it called Guanyin in Fenghao? Do you think the Buddha statue looks like the one worn by ancient ladies when they were traveling in winter?

Fenghao? Judging from the shape of this statue, its age should be in the Yongxuan period in the early Ming Dynasty. From the perspective of this statue, its kind eyebrows, eyes, double eyelids and necklaces also conform to the characteristics of the early Ming Dynasty, and the lower lotus petal belt

The shape of the curling grass is also an obvious feature.

Jing Ruohaidao: Professor Zhong, what are your opinions?

Zhong Jianjiang: After my identification, I think this is a genuine statue of Guanyin, a wind hooded Guanyin, from the early Ming Dynasty!

Jing Ruohai looked at the other four people.

None of the four people spoke, and there was such a rule in the appraisal industry. Unless Zhong Jianjiang took the initiative to solicit their opinions, they would not object to the appraisal results.

Jing Ruohai said: Since the experts have given their opinions, the statue is now auctioned at a minimum price of 100,000 yuan.

At the beginning of the auction, the competition was fierce. After all, 100,000 yuan was only pocket money for those present. It was more than that money to eat casually. It felt quite worth buying an antique Buddha statue from the early Ming Dynasty.

Soon, the price was called to 600,000.

Competition slows down.

The young man from the Guo family suddenly said: 700,000!

There was silence around, and everyone shook their heads.

It's a bit expensive to buy this Buddha statue for 700,000 yuan.

Seeing that everyone gave up, the young man from the Guo family seemed to be talking to himself: The competitiveness of the mainland is really not good.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other sideways.

But no one cares about him, so why bother to be angry about him just a few words?

Ma Wenxuan was unhappy and stabbed Li Rui and said: Don’t you fight with him?

Li Rui looked speechless: Buy this for 700,000 yuan? He has a brain problem, but I have nothing to do with it.

The first item was captured by the young man of the Guo family.

Jing Ruohai smiled and said: Congratulations to Mr. Guo Zhijun from Hong Kong Island, who bought this Ming Dynasty Hood Guanyin for a price of 700,000 yuan. Next, let’s take a look at the next one.

Guo Zhijun was very proud, and everyone else looked at him as a fool.

But then, everyone fully felt the power of a fool. Although they were stupid, they had a lot of money.

As long as five or six items are identified as genuine, Guo Zhijun will give a price far exceeding the market price, so that others have no desire to compete.

The most annoying thing is that every time this guy shoots something, he will brag about himself, for fear that others will not know that he is rich.

Next is a painting, please help Professor Liu Yan. Jing Ruohai took out the next item.

This is a small axis painting. On the picture, a giant cypress is directly in the sky. The heart of the painting is 58 cm in length and 29 cm in width. It is called "Songshan Han Cypress Tu". According to the seller, it is a work of Emperor Qianlong and passed down from ancestors.

.

Although Emperor Qianlong's painting level was average, the pricing in this market was often not based on artistic level, but with multiple factors.

This famous old man, Shiquan, has not many paintings in the world and is quite topical, so if this painting "Songshan Han Baitu" is genuine, it will definitely be sold at a good price.

Liu Yan looked at the painting seriously, and several other experts also glanced at it from a distance, without any expression.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes and muttered: It's actually today!

What's wrong? Ma Wenxuan asked.

Li Rui shook his head and said: He had no eyes but had been paying attention to the expressions of several experts.

Liu Yan carefully read the painting several times, shook his head and said: This painting is a fake!

Oh? The whole audience was a little disappointed. They originally wanted to compete, but since it was a fake, it would be fine.

Guo Zhijun also went from eager to try and looked unhappy and said loudly: Since it is a fake, please take it away quickly, don’t waste everyone’s time!

Jing Ruohai said embarrassedly: I'm really sorry to everyone, I will replace this fake immediately.

At this moment, Li Rui raised his hand and said: Boss Jing, although it is a fake, it should be worth some money, right? I wonder if I can discuss with the seller whether this fake is sold or not?

Huh? The audience looked at Li Rui, and his eyes were similar to those who had just seen Guo Zhijun.

What happened to this auction today? A sucker first appeared and a fool appeared.

Liu Yan said it was a fake, why are you buying it?

However, a few people's expressions became strange. Ma Shaotian, Jinwenshan, Ma Wenxuan knew that Li Rui had bought fakes. That time, "Spring River Flower Moon" bought for 300,000 yuan was sold for 35 million yuan, and it made a profit.

hundred times!

Could it be that this painting has mystery today?

Jing Ruohai didn't expect anyone to want to buy fakes, so hesitated and said: Let's continue the following process first, and the assistant will discuss with the seller. If they are willing to sell, we will provide you with free agency services.

In trouble. Li Rui nodded and said.

The auction continued, and Ma Wenxuan asked Li Rui: Does that painting also have a mezzanine?

Li Rui was amused and crying: How could it be a great luck to encounter such a thing once? How could it be possible to encounter it again?

Then why are you buying a fake product?

Li Rui said: I saw that fake is a bit old and of good quality. It is also a work by Emperor Qianlong that I like more. It is also a work by tens of thousands of yuan to take it back and play with it.

Really? Ma Wenxuan is a little unbelievable.

Li Rui said honestly: Of course it is true, otherwise you think!

Ma Wenxuan always felt something was wrong, but Liu Yan had given an appraisal opinion. She really didn't know what else Li Rui could do.

She didn't know that Li Rui was in his heart.

If it weren't for making a fortune, how could he have said what he said against his will just now?
