In addition to this "soup yellow croaker", the other seafood on the table tonight was also quite delicious.

Whether it is lobster, crab, yellow snapper, etc., they are all wild.

But the limelight was stolen. Everyone present had tasted these seafood before, but they couldn't be amazed.

The focus of Xia Xue and the others' videos was on this soup-filled yellow croaker. The shots of other seafood were just swept by. This is for netizens to discover.

Everyone was very satisfied with a delicious seafood meal.

These two days, it’s strange that you have to play and eat.

After eating in the restaurant, the group chatted for a while before retreating.

Chen Wenxiu took the subway to the station and then took the light rail back to school.

Xia’s mother originally wanted to go back tonight, but Xia Xue and Xia Yu and the others didn’t let her go, so she called her for one night and wouldn’t be too late to go back tomorrow.

Tomorrow, if you are going to class on Monday, and to work, Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao first took Xia Xue and He Linlin back to the community and sat back in the house for a while. The two of them also chatted with their grandmother, and their parents.

Xia Yu will go to Hong Kong City tomorrow. Before he goes abroad, he has particularly important things to do. But he doesn't need to talk to his elders about these things, so as not to worry too much.

Xia’s mother only knew that Xia Yu would not go back to his hometown fishing village with her. He said that it would be almost a month since he returned to China, and it was time to do some serious business...

Others may not know, but Bai Yujiao knows the most. What Xia Yu has to do now is spending money!

He has saved a lot of money now, and he will increase more and more in the future, so of course he has to spend some.

It’s okay to buy a house, a car, and it won’t be too many.

Xia Yu’s hobby is collecting bronze ware. If there are so many good things, it can be said to be a bottomless pit and will cost a lot of money.

If you buy those particularly precious bronze ware, such as beast heads, you can spend all the hundreds of millions or even tens of billions of dollars.

This depends on how Xia Yu himself makes a decision. From this point of view, his wealth is still a bit insufficient.

Then that night, Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao went back to her house to live.

Bai Gaorui and Bai Yujiao knew about him going to Hong Kong City to attend the auction, and they were both on the established schedule.

But the two of them did not plan to participate. Even this year's autumn auction in Hong Kong City and the mainland has become a huge and in full swing.

The main reason is that they have no special needs, such as having a fancy to a certain antique, porcelain, or even calligraphy and painting. They want to try their luck at the auction and pick up some omissions.

However, they are still particularly concerned about the annual autumn auction. The annual spring auction and autumn auction are also the weather vane of antiques.

Generally speaking, what types of antique cultural relics are sold at auctions are sold at sky-high prices. After media reports, this type of thing will also be adjusted accordingly in the market, and they will rise with the flow. Moreover, various similar antiques will spring up like mushrooms after a rain and emerge.

They knew everything Xia Yu wanted to collect, and they also entrusted Yu Xiangzhai and Izumo Xuan to help find it. However, genuine bronzes are really hard to find, and they have also analyzed the reasons with Xia Yu. It is very likely that everyone is waiting to see how the bronzes market in this autumn auction are.

Another large part of the reason is that those bronzes that are willing to take action and inherit orderly have been collected by major auction houses.

This is understandable. Things appear in auction houses and will be widely promoted and the price will be much higher than private transactions.

In addition, major auction houses will use various connections to collect good things from collectors.

Now, when Xia Yu and Bai Yujiao returned home and chatted with Bai Gaorui, he said, "After all the autumn auctions of major auction houses, there will probably be many bronze ware to take action. We can collect them at that time."

"As for the items at the auction, if Ayu wants to like it, try to get them as much as possible. After all, it is considered a legal thing to be auctioned. If someone is auctioned, it is likely that they will not be taken out, or they will have to wait a long time to have the chance to see them."

Xia Yu nodded, "I think so too. Go to Hong Kong City and then talk about the authenticity first."

Bai Yujiao said, "You must be sure to check it out and make a decision after getting the appraisal in person. Now the auction house is not fidelity."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Yes, going to auction is the same as Taobao."

They were not worried about Xia Yu's funding problem. He still had a lot of funds in his account in Port City, so he had basically never used it much.

Several people have also studied the catalogue of auctions, and there are indeed not many bronze ware. This time, at the autumn auction in Hongcheng, there were no ten bronzes in total.

The highest-valued bronze Taotie pattern tripod from the late Shang Dynasty, ranging from 10 million to 15 million Hong Kong dollars.

Those who can be auctioned are basically circulated in an orderly manner, and many major collectors or museums have collected it.

But you can't judge that this is true because of this. You have to start the identification yourself.

The valuation of other bronzes is not so high. According to Bai Yujiao's optimistic estimate, "As long as you take out a budget of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, all these bronzes can be included."

She had to attend class by herself, so it was hard to take leave to attend the auction. But she also knew that Xia Yu was just going to get the appraisal and confirmed which bronze ware to be filmed when she showed up. This was hard to use the hands of others to do the appraisal.

During the real auction, it is still entrusted to others to help with the filming.

The auctions are indeed like this now. The competition on site is particularly fierce, but in fact, many people are helping people shoot on their behalf, and many real big shots will not appear at the auction site.

When media reports, I often see such a situation where a certain item is sold at a sky-high price, but it is a mysterious buyer. The reporter needs to further explore, or the buyer will show up and reveal the news later, etc.

There is no need to say anything like paying attention to safety, it is the same wherever you go.

Xia Yu also told Bai Yujiao, "I should come back before going abroad, and I will bring some things back."

Bai Yujiao smiled happily and said yes, he still had no problem doing this.

Bai Gaorui was very happy to see that the couple had a good relationship. Now it can be considered a family.

This weekend trip, Bai Yujiao and Xia Yu arranged it properly. Everyone had a happy time and returned home with great pleasure.

Even the super rich rich people nowadays can't taste the delicacies they eat. Soup yellow croaker is really not something you can eat casually, and you can't enjoy it if you have money or luck.

It can be said that I can have a year of slap in this meal!

It was a little farewell soon. After the couple returned to their room, they felt intimate and romantic again without further mentioning.

The next morning, Xia Yu drove Bai Yujiao to school and went home directly. However, Xia's mother, who was eager to return home, had already urged Xia's father to leave for a while. She said she was more accustomed to living in her hometown fishing village.

Xia Xue smiled that she couldn't enjoy it and it was useless, and she couldn't change her mind at all.

The same is true for grandma. When she went out to play these two days, she still thought about the chickens and ducks she raised at home. Every time she brought the local eggs and duck eggs, Xia Xue and Bai Yujiao and others liked to eat them, which made grandma take care of the chickens and ducks she raised at home more and more.

Xia Yu also cleaned up his own things at home, but in fact he didn't have to clean up his things. After he used them, he put them back in the space.

Mirrorless cameras, related accessories, and drones are all.

Seeing that the time was almost the same, he took the subway to the station and left the Ruimei car at home for Xia Xue and the others to drive.

After taking the direct train to the station in Hong Kong City, I directly went to Bai Gaoze’s shop “Izumo Xuan” on Antique Street.

Before coming, Xia Yu had already contacted Bai Gaoze.

When we arrived, it was almost time to eat, and we went to a nearby tea restaurant for lunch with Bai Gaoze and his apprentice Lin Xiangyang. It was just simple.

During the meal, the main topics that several people talked about were the hot topics during this period, and the autumn auctions of several major international auction houses in Hong Kong City.

Bai Gaoze also told him, "If Ayu doesn't feel the hard work, he can actually go to the United States to attend the auction. There are also many bronze ware they have taken. However, they have to wait until next year, but they can make corresponding preparations in advance."

Xia Yu replied that he had such an idea, and if he missed it this year, he would miss it.

Back to the present, the Hong Kong City autumn auction is in full swing.

Bai Gaoze didn't give anything to the auction, and it was difficult for the cultural relics that Xia Yu gave him to the auction. But they were all in the industry, and Bai Gaoze's Izumo Xuan also paid special attention to this.

Moreover, Bai Gaoze also paid a deposit and got the account that could participate in some special auctions. If you want to go to the warehouse to see these items, or even do it yourself for identification, you need to pay a certain deposit, or you are a well-known collector in the industry and have a very high face.

But Xia Yu is more willing to choose the method of paying a deposit, anyway, the deposit can be refunded.

Xia Yu had entrusted Izumo Xuan, who entrusted Bai Gaoze, to help find bronze ware, so Lin Xiangyang naturally knew that he was also inquiring about it from multiple sources.

Then the conclusions drawn were almost the same, and everyone was waiting and watching. If it wasn't for urgent need of money, it would be right to wait for this autumn auction to see the market before taking action.

Of course, the bronzes in the hands of these collectors are not all openly born like the bronzes at auction. They are spread in an orderly manner and very legal.

But this does not affect everyone's waiting for a price.

The bronze ware in the hands of most collectors are flowing out of the mainland, and a small number are returned from abroad.

But after all, at the earliest, decades or more than a hundred years ago, these bronzes were taken overseas from China through various legal or illegality, or even after being plundered.

Now I'm going around again and have the opportunity to buy it back.

This is the case with the bronze Taotie pattern tripod from the late Shang Dynasty photographed this time.

The standards in the auction catalogue are particularly clear, and large auction companies generally do not fake it because it is easier to verify. Especially for industry insiders, you can ask clearly just by making a few phone calls.

It is hard to say about the auction catalogues created by small auction companies or pheasant auction companies. They don’t think about finding senior insiders to be buyers or sellers. They just focus on those new novices or greedy collectors, and they can do whatever they want.

Those who really know how to do it will not go to these auction companies, even if they sell at various sky-high prices every now and then. There are too many tricks in it, and there is also a factor of fine money.

There are many such auction companies in Harbor City and Aomen, as well as around the world.

Xia Yu and Bai Gaoze naturally would not waste time at these auction companies, and even look at their lots and prices.

The bronze tripod with the highest valuation at this auction has been traveling overseas, entering museums, and auctioned in several places. New York and London have also been circulated by major collectors.

Finally, he was solicited by the auction company, crossed the ocean and arrived at Harbor City.

As for whether this tripod is true or not, it is still impossible to be 100% sure just by looking at the auction catalog and various "orderly circulated" records.

Bai Gaoze can only say, "The possibility of being genuine is quite high, and it is much more reliable than buying it in the antique market."

Lin Xiangyang also has the same view, because the appraisers of the auction house may also be "shocking". Or, sometimes they even participate, but the auction house is not fidelity anyway, so the buyer will make a decision after seeing it himself.

And those who do antique cultural relics are in this way, they have even more attitude towards modern art works that are now sold at sky-high prices, and think it is a joint hype between major auction houses and capital.

For this kind of thing, the old antique dealer Bai Takaze chose "Izumo Xuan" to not touch it.

Then, Bai Gaoze also reminded Xia Yu, "No matter how careful Ayu is when he gets started with the appraisal, he can basically give up any doubts in this kind of cultural relics that have orderly circulated.

Xia Yu nodded and thanked his reminder, and said that he would identify it extra carefully, "After all, it's such a expensive price."

Bai Gaoze also said, "Actually, the most expensive bronze ware is overseas. The price of bronze ware in Hong Kong is not that high. If Ayu really likes any bronze ware, write down the item number. If he doesn't want to bid on his own, it's okay. I'll find someone to take photos for you then."

"Thank you, grandpa, for helping me with this! If I hadn't had to get started with the appraisal myself, I wouldn't want to go to the auction company." Xia Yu replied.

Bai Gaoze smiled and said, "It's nothing. You have to do it yourself. Others can't do it for you! Bidding is quite easy. As long as you are determined to win and are willing to bid, you can basically get it."

Xia Yu nodded and expressed his attitude, "If I want to see which bronze ware I will definitely take it with all my strength."

His attitude has always been very clear, but unfortunately, Bai Gaoze and the others have not found a suitable bronze ware. They didn't tell Xia Yu about the things they thought were wrong after they identified themselves. Among the bronze ware circulating on the market, these are the largest number.
