Chapter 694?
"Mr. Bei, please come here."
The housekeeper respectfully led the way for Liu Yan and his party and the other two, and soon brought them to the scene of this private auction.
This is an ancient building exhibition hall of at least thousands of square meters, and it is divided into four halls in the southeast, southwest and northwest.
In other words, this exhibition hall alone has more than 4,000 square meters.
Not to mention other ancient buildings that are not in exhibition halls.
It is rare to see such a large area of ancient buildings.
Liu Yan has learned through the butler that the entire ancient building complex is private.
"It seems that Gu Changqing's status in Linyang City is no worse than Li Xingju."
Liu Yan couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Although the area of this ancient building complex is far less than that of the Li family's villa complex, it is left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and is a real ancient building.
Being able to own such a large piece of ancient buildings is enough to prove Gu Changqing's identity and status.
"Mr. Bei, this is the East Exhibition Hall. Before the auction begins, you can watch it at will in the three major exhibition halls of East and South and West so as to understand the auction items in this auction in advance."
The housekeeper said respectfully.
"Southeast and West?"
Liu Yan frowned slightly.
"Aren't it the four major exhibition halls? Why are there only three?"
"It's like this Mr. Bei. The North Exhibition Hall is a secret bid hall and will be held tomorrow. The auction will be held today, and there are only items from the three exhibition halls in the east, south and west."
"Okay, I get it."
Seeing that Liu Yan had no other instructions, the housekeeper respectfully said goodbye and left.
"Sister, what is a dark mark?"
Zhou Ze asked with an unknown face.
Zhou Yanxi also shook her head, not understanding what the dark mark means.
The two of them then turned to look at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan explained: "The meaning of a secret bid is that if you don't make a public bid, you will place a price on the item. The auctioneer will count the prices given by all the customers who like this item, and the final price will be higher."
When Liu Yan was in the Liu family, he accompanied his adoptive father to attend a secret bid auction.
He still remembers this auction method fresh.
After all! Under normal circumstances, everyone sits together. After the host introduces the auction items and gives a reserve price, everyone bids together.
The dark marks are completely different.
You have no idea what price others offer.
If you really like something and want to get it, you may have to give it a price to get it.
Sometimes, you can get something you can get if you give a very low price, because you are afraid that others will snatch it away at a high price, and in the end you give a price several times higher than the second place.
He became a sucker directly.
Of course! You may also be able to win a good lot at just a very low price.
This is the uniqueness of the dark mark.
After listening to Liu Yan's explanation, Zhou Yanxi and Zhou Ze suddenly realized it.
"Brother-in-law, this secret label sounds quite interesting."
Zhou Ze looked excited.
"Um."
Liu Yan nodded.
"The greatest fun of dark marks is the heartbeat.
Sometimes, the price you give may be a little less than others, and you will miss the auction item you like."
"That feeling of worrying about gains and losses is a test of a person."
Back then, Liu Yan's adoptive father also asked Liu Yan to participate in the auction of the secret bid.
Liu Yan has never forgotten that feeling.
Zhou Ze seemed eager to try it out.
Liu Yan smiled faintly.
"Let's go, let's go around the exhibition hall first to see if there is anything good."
Most of the exhibition halls in the east are antiques.
The blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, jadeware from the Qin and Han Dynasties, bronzeware from the Former Qin Dynasty, etc., were all protected by anti-theft glass covers and could only be viewed through the glass.
Liu Yan walked around and found nothing special.
At least! He did not sense any fluctuations of spiritual energy in these so-called antiques.
Suddenly, Liu Yan lost interest.
"What do you think of?
If not, let's go to the other two exhibition halls."
Liu Yan looked at Zhou Yanxi and Zhou Ze, and both of them shook their heads.
Immediately, the three of them walked towards the South Exhibition Hall.
As soon as I stepped into the south exhibition hall, I saw a beautiful jade statue with a height of someone.
"Wow, what a big jade!"
Zhou Ze's eyes were wide open.
"Xiaoyan, do you know this kind of jade?"
Zhou Yanxi asked, as if she wanted to take the exam for Liu Yan.
Liu Yan smiled slightly.
"This should be Xiuyan jade produced in the Northeast. It is one of the four famous jades in Chinese history. It is as famous as Lantian jade, Hetian jade and Dushan jade."
"This jade mountain water storage has a tough texture, delicate and warm texture, bright luster and rich colors.
It has six major characteristics: large block size, beautiful color, high brightness, pure clarity, good density and sufficient hardness, among which large block size is the most important."
"It has been a very ideal jade carving material since ancient times."
Zhou Yanxi couldn't help but smile.
"I didn't expect you to know a lot."
"Sister, as you say, this jade carving must be very valuable, right?"
Zhou Ze couldn't help asking excitedly.
The jade carving in front of me is carved with a bottle of God of Wealth. The jade is purely high and the carving skills are very exquisite and exquisite, and it is not cheap at first glance.
It is estimated to weigh about one ton.
Such a piece is considered large among other jades, but it can only be considered relatively ordinary among Xiuyan jade.
What a pity! Liu Yan sensed it, there was no spiritual energy in the jade.
He couldn't get any interest in such things.
"Sister Xi, Xiaoze, is jade good? Don't just look at the surface. In fact, the main component of the so-called jade is calcium magnesium silicate. Different jades contain a small part of different trace elements, and there is nothing special."
Liu Yan explained to the two of them.
"The reason why they have such high value is that things are precious because they are rare."
"Really good jade is something that has intrinsic value."
"The part in front of you is not considered."
The spiritual energy and other things are too fantastic. Liu Yan is afraid that he will say it, so Zhou Yanxi and Zhou Ze do not understand it so much, so he can only say this first.
"This gentleman seems to be very knowledgeable about jade."
Suddenly, a sound came from beside him.
Liu Yan and others turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man with a mustache, looking at Liu Yan carefully, next to him, a woman with short hair was following him.
A woman is not beautiful, but she looks quite capable.
And those hands have been called out.
It is estimated that it may be the female bodyguard who protects the middle-aged man in close proximity.
With his eyes retracted, Liu Yan waved his hand lightly.
Chapter completed!
