When there is no female vote by my side, Xia Yu "works as a coolie" to pass the time.

This is also an excellent time for him to exercise his mental strength, and he has never relaxed.

The benefits are naturally very numerous, and collecting items into the space can be faster and more convenient.

Now he will sort out the cultural relics in the space and do some infrastructure work.

Several sea areas in the space are separated. The earliest sea area uses the sea water from my hometown, which is also the largest.

Others containing the sea water of Jeju Island, Annan, and Zhawa, not only are the seafood different in each place, but the sea water also differs.

Every now and then, he also makes some special seafood from these sea areas, but it's all for himself to enjoy it.

In addition, he dug a lot of holes in the space.

The several shipwrecks salvaged, each shipwreck is at least one pit, and some things that cannot be processed for the time being are placed in the sea water, basically maintaining the same state as on the seabed.

The difference is that in space, it will not be washed by sea waves, tides, undercurrents, etc., and the storage conditions are better than those under the sea.

Then he continued to carry out infrastructure construction, and the space area and soil inside increased every day, so his operating space was particularly large.

Xia Yu is also looking forward to whether there will be new changes in the space after taking back the bronze ware on this autumn auction.

After he tossed his mental power, he fell back to rest. That night he also started dreaming.

It was still the mysterious dream of childhood. He seemed to be transformed into a hero in myth, breaking through thorns, building dams and diverting water, and fighting against various strange monsters.

I woke up in the morning and still remember it fresh.

Xia Yu guessed that he got into the bronze ware yesterday, and his body was restless.

It was rare for him to open fire in the kitchen for breakfast. He mainly felt that the various appliances and equipment in the kitchen here needed to be used from time to time. It would be bad if he didn't use it for a long time, just like home appliances and other equipment.

He cooked seafood porridge and caught the snow crabs and fusanthemum lobsters that he had originally caught from the waters of Jeju Island.

They reproduce and thrive in the space, which requires eating some from time to time.

The auction house's exhibition hall did not open so early, so he was not in a hurry to go out.

At 9:30, Xia Yu went out and took a taxi to the auction house.

He went early and didn't have many buyers who watched the preview. The auction house staff warmly received him. He was a more elegant young lady. He politely asked him if he needed help or what kind of lot he wanted to see.

Xia Yu also politely said his own needs, "I want to get started with it myself and see the bronze ware special items."

"Since these lots are relatively precious, you need to pay a deposit of HK$500,000. Please rest assured that our auction house will fully refund the deposit after the auction is over..."

Xia Yu knew all these things. If you only visit and watch the fun, you wouldn't have to pay such a deposit.

However, if the buyer wants to personally identify some more precious items, and then attend the auction, it is necessary to pay a deposit. Otherwise, the buyer will not be able to participate in the auction.

If there is no deposit, the auction house is worried that the bidders will mess around and bid randomly, and in the end they will not buy, the losses will be heavy.

After Xia Yu paid a deposit of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars by swiping his card, he also received the bidding license. But the young lady also told him that if he wanted to participate in the auction of some higher-valued items, he would need to pay more deposit.

For example, to participate in the auction of items with a price of over 100 million, a special bidding license plate is required, and the auction house will also evaluate the bidder's strength.

The bronze ware special session that Xia Yu is going to watch now is not bad, and the highest estimate is only 8 million to 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

After he got the license plate, he went directly to the corresponding exhibition hall.

Although it was the first time he was preparing to participate in an antique auction house, Xia Yu was not unfamiliar with it.

For buyers, before participating in the auction, the first priority is to carefully observe the items and set the psychological price.

During the process of viewing the item, you should carefully observe the authenticity, quality, specifications, etc. of the item. If you find that it does not match the item catalog or there are any defects that are not specified, you can ask the auction house immediately and then decide whether to participate in the bidding.

Each item is basically marked with an appraisal. If the customer does not understand the industry, he can go to the relevant store or market to learn about the prices of the same level. After comparing several prices, he will determine the highest bid for his bid, that is, the "psychological price".

Psychological price is composed of several aspects such as the customer's preference for an item, the market price and value-added potential of the item, and these factors are proportional to the psychological price.

Secondly, be familiar with the auction rules. There are many basic rules for auctions, and different auctions have some special rules. Bidders should carefully read the auction rules and regulations.

When bidding, bidding should be made according to the bidding method announced by the auctioneer; each price increase shall not be lower than the price increase, otherwise the bid will be invalid; after each item is sold, the buyer shall sign the "Auction Transaction Confirmation Letter" on the spot, and pay the price and retrieve the lot within a limited time.

Now Xia Yu is going to identify the items and confirm which ones he wants to take.

This mainland auction company also collected a large number of bronze ware in this autumn auction, with more than 20 pieces.

But most of them are collected directly from collectors from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas, and are not so circulated in an orderly manner.

Such lots will also discourage many buyers.

But this is also the most normal phenomenon. For Xia Yu, such places are the best places to find good things at a low price.

He didn't rush to see the highest-valued beast-faced bronze cube, but just got to get the appraisal one by one.

Among them, the valuations are also uneven.

A bronze tripod with an average quality is estimated to be between 80,000 and 120,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The estimated price of a pair of bronze lords is between 250,000 Hong Kong dollars and 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, but the starting price will be lower than this estimate.

If only one person participates in the auction, he can get the bid at a low price, and it can also be considered a "baby picking".

He quickly responded, and this was a bronze tripod with Kuilong pattern that was more than 20 centimeters tall.

The round and open mouth, double cube ears, bulging belly and round bottom, is displayed in front of you with a three-legged tripod.

The shape of the vessel is regular and dignified, quiet and solemn. The upper abdomen is decorated with a belt-shaped Kuilong pattern, which is simple and capable, ancient and simple. The overall color is dark brown, with green rust spots everywhere. From a distance, it seems to shine with green light. It is old and natural.

He initially concluded that it was from the Western Zhou Dynasty. When Xia Yu started to identify it, a familiar feeling surged.

Write down the number, he wants this.

However, Xia Yu estimated that he would not be able to buy it at this estimation.

There are also many tricks and techniques at the auction. Some items will deliberately lower the valuation, attracting more attention and bidding.

When everyone thinks about "picking up a bargain", there is basically no gap.

Xia Yu believes that many other buyers should also like this bronze tripod.

Because as long as it is genuine, the valuation is almost the same as the market price.

Of course, if you send it to the auction, the auction house will bribe the buyer and seller's commission.

The wool comes from the sheep, and in the end it is the buyer who pays it.

In addition to this bronze tripod, Xia Yu's body reacted a lot, including the pair of bronze lords.

The bronze lord is used to hold wine, and can also be used as a ritual vessel for sacrifice.

But what surprised him was that there was also a pair of bronze jungle, and his body was completely unresponsive.

He also observed carefully and wanted to find out where the difference was.

In addition, Xia Yu identified some bronze ware from the Western Zhou Dynasty as genuine, but after getting started, his body was completely unconscious of it.

For example, one of the bronze ware is also a popular bronze ware with a low estimate of 500,000 to 700,000 Hong Kong dollars. It is also a utensil for wine and can also be used for sacrifices. Moreover, from all aspects, it does not seem fake.

He was a little suspicious, "Has he misunderstood by himself?"

No wonder he had such a guess, he thought it really existed.

But he would definitely not take these lots.

His body recognized the other bronze slab.

This piece of bronze cushion is oval and has a cover. The cover is a female mouth and a pair of ring buttons on both sides of the neck, which is connected to the tapir head lifting beam, which is flat.

The straight mouth, the lower abdomen is tilted outward, the maximum abdominal diameter is below the midline of the abdomen, and the lower ring foot is outward. The cover is raised, the cover is high, the lower end is retracted inward, the cover is covered with a circle-shaped hand, and a pair of horns on both sides. The lifting beam is decorated with Kui and diamond patterns.

The cover is decorated with long-tail phoenix bird patterns, the edge and neck of the cover are decorated with separate phoenix bird patterns, and the belly is decorated with hanging crown phoenix bird patterns.

The cover and neck are decorated with the tapir head, both with cloud thunder pattern and the outsole has square cast ribs.

The inner bottom of the vessel is the same as the inscription inside the cover, and there are two lines and seven characters in the inscription in the sub-shaped frame: "Jin Zunyi, the father Xin Baozunyi" plus the sub-shaped character.

Such bronze ware with inscriptions has always been a popular bid for everyone.

The estimated price is between HK$3 million and HK$3.8 million.

But Xia Yu thought that if he really wanted to take it down, he should consider it to be around 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

Now he has enough funds, and no matter what, he will get the auction. He only needs some bidding skills and makes plans in advance, depending on the situation in the auction.

If you can save some money, try to save some money.

As for the highest-valued bronze beast-faced pattern cube in this game, Xia Yu went to see it in the end.

If he only looks from the outside, he did not find any problems, and the shape and decoration are harmonious and natural.

Small extravagant mouth, narrow folded edge, oblique lip, short tied neck, round shoulders, curved abdomen, gentle flat bottom, high ring foot.

It's just not big, and the jars are usually large in shape, and the prices they sell are relatively high.

The most important thing is whether the body recognizes it or not.

When Xia Yu started to use the appraisal, he did not feel that joy at all, which was basically a sign of disapproval.

Even such bronze jars are a product of the ancient "heavy wine" culture. They are paired with bronze jugs and other wine utensils for sacrifices, banquets and other occasions, but there is no way for the body to recognize them.

Xia Yu observed carefully and found no inscriptions on it, but the production was particularly exquisite and delicate.
