The car driven by the young man was driving fast. Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai were eating some food to fill their stomachs and chatting happily about antiques. However, when Qiao Qingtai accidentally saw the scenery outside the car window, he was worried about Xiazhou He was more familiar with it and suddenly realized something was wrong. Qiao Qingtai frowned and said: "I said, you don't have to go from here to go to the place mentioned on the note, right?" The young man quickly smiled and said: "Then the address mentioned above is actually wrong. The only real place is us. Only people know. Haha, please rest assured, there will definitely be no problem with safety. Even with my thin arms and legs, I can¡¯t beat you!¡± Chu Chen said with an expressionless face: ¡°There is another word in this world. Called 'associate'." The young man laughed and said, "Boss, you are joking. Our reputation is the most important thing in this industry. I won't make fun of my own money. Of course, if you feel really worried, I can kill you. "After all, this is a black market auction, and it is normal to be cautious. In addition, Chu Chen and the others have not found any problems with the young man, and Qiao Qingtai's mission has not been completed yet, so of course they will not do it now. Give up and go back to the hotel now. In fact, for the young man, he certainly would not want Chu Chen and the others to go back to the hotel now, otherwise his commission would be wasted. Therefore, he tried to be more serious when driving next, so as not to scare Chu Chen and the others away. The car wound around and came to a small manor located behind the woods. But although it is a manor, let alone Chu Chen¡¯s courtyard house. Even compared to his villa, it was smaller. The manor is surrounded by wooden fences, and near the middle of the manor are several small buildings in the style of Xiazhou folk houses. It looks antique and has a unique flavor. After getting out of the car, Chu Chen thought of a question: how to pay after the bidding is successful. So, he asked the young man: "Will you have to pay cash later?" "Of course not possible." The young man laughed: "The things in our night market are not comparable to the things in the auction just now." Not to mention several million, some national treasure-level cultural relics have been sold for tens of millions. No matter what, you can't pay in cash!" "You still have national treasure-level cultural relics?" Chu Chen looked a little confused. surprise. "Of course." The young man looked a little proud: "Our big boss is very capable. He can get basically anything. Of course, national treasure-level cultural relics like this don't appear many times at auctions, so it's rare to find them. There are one or two." Having said this, the young man looked around and said to Chu Chen and the others secretly: "To tell you something, today is the birthday of our big boss, and the finale of this auction is a national treasure. If you are interested, you must seize the opportunity, otherwise you don't know how long it will take." Chu Chen's eyes lit up, and then his expression became cold again, and he asked calmly: "What if I take this photo? "It's a national treasure. Is the safety guaranteed?" The young man said with a smile, "We can't guarantee your safety after buying it, but there will definitely be no problems here, and we have strict confidentiality measures. Reveal any buyer's information. Even if you buy the national treasure, no one will know your information. " "Don't you know that?" Chu Chen said with a smile. "Boss, you are joking. I am an old man and a young man. I will not do such a thing." The young man waved his hands quickly, with a trace of fear flashing in his eyes. Seeing this situation, Chu Chen and the others understood what was going on without asking any more questions. Next, the three of them followed the young man to the door of a residential building in the middle. During this period, Chu Chen discovered that the surrounding security measures were much stricter than before, and there were omnidirectional cameras placed in some seemingly inconspicuous locations. Chu Chen and the others passed a series of checks by the guards at the door that were not inferior to those at the airport before they were able to enter. Moreover, before entering, the young man reminded them not to turn on their mobile phones, otherwise misunderstandings would easily occur. Chu Chen and the others did not want to cause trouble, so they followed suit. Done. The three of them walked into the house and saw that there were already people drinking tea and chatting there. Judging from their clothing and behavior, these people were obviously much more polite than in the afternoon, and none of them spoke loudly. . The layout of the house is like a high-end club. Not only are there a circle of sofas that are quite comfortable to sit on, but there are also some high-end fruits and snacks placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa. It looks veryIt's delicious, but I don't know how it tastes. As soon as the three of them sat down, a waiter with a very sweet smile came up and poured them tea, which was hard to refuse. Although they had to be as careful as possible at the black market auction, they saw that other customers were drinking tea and eating cakes with ease, so they didn't think too much about it. Besides, they didn¡¯t bring much cash, so even if the organizer wanted to hack their money, they wouldn¡¯t resort to tricks on such things. After about ten or twenty minutes, when the guests had almost arrived, the auctioneer walked in. However, this person was not the one in the afternoon. He was taller and more energetic than the one in the afternoon, and his language was organized. The ability is much stronger than that of the one in the afternoon. Next, the auctioneer said some polite words of welcome and explained the auction rules, and the auction officially began. The items to be auctioned were brought up one by one, and the first one was a set of three jade ornaments in the shape of human faces. Human face-shaped jade ornaments are very rare in the antique world. In terms of material, jade ornaments should be considered to be made of stone, but they are carefully polished and smooth. Considering that the ancients regarded jade as "the beauty of stone" and there is no strict classification in modern geology, it is more appropriate to say that they are jade ornaments. . Among them, what impressed Chu Chen the most was one of the dark gray jade ornaments in the shape of a human face. The body of the object is flat and oval, with the human face looking straight on. There are negative lines engraved on the outside to represent the outline of the face. The eyes are circle-shaped, and the bridge of the nose is straight. The mouth is represented by a hemispherical bulge and there are no ears. The reason why Chu Chen felt so impressed was that, except for some details, everything else was very similar, and it was possible that they were in the hands of the same person. The other two pieces, although inferior in performance to this one, still retain their charm. After identification, Chu Chen believed that judging from the existing surface and craftsmanship characteristics of the jade ornaments. Only one jade ornament like this has ever been found, so its rarity is evident. In addition, the production is very exquisite, so it goes without saying much about its value. When the auctioneer saw that no one was on stage for appraisal, he dropped the hammer and started bidding. The price increase for the items was no longer just a few hundred or thousands like it was in the afternoon, but the minimum was tens of thousands. Of course, if every item is like this set of jade ornaments, a price increase of tens of thousands is very normal. Although the auctioneer did not introduce much about this group of jade ornaments, he still mentioned its rarity. Moreover, as someone who came to the black market, he still had some understanding of the market conditions of the antique market. There were many customers bidding at the same time. But after all, it is something on the black market, and the origin goes without saying, so the price increase is not high, and after the price reaches 100,000, the number of customers participating in the bidding is obviously reduced. Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai were both interested in jade ornaments like this, and Chu Chen also bid. However, when he found that a middle-aged man who looked like a boss had been raising the price, and the price exceeded his bottom line, he Finally gave up. In the end, it was not this middle-aged man who took the photo of this set of jade ornaments, but another potbellied boss. As for the identity of the middle-aged man, Chu Chen guessed that he was hired by the black market. This kind of situation is commonplace in regular auctions, not to mention the black market. ¡°Furthermore, it¡¯s not necessarily that the buyer didn¡¯t know that the middle-aged man was a stooge, he was just willing to fight and suffer. After all, the prices of things on the black market are much lower than those on the market. Even if the buyer has a higher transaction price, he can still make a lot of money by putting the things on the market. Next, two more pieces of bronze were put on. These two pieces were not like the ones in the afternoon. It was obvious that they were cultural relics that had been unearthed not long ago. Because the shapes of these two bronze vessels were not too rare, they were eventually photographed by the same customer at a relatively low price. ¡°Then another item came up for auction, which was a large blue and white cloud and dragon pattern with sunflower edges from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. The diameter of this vessel is nearly 40 centimeters. The selection of materials, sample making, painting tools, and inscriptions are all meticulous. It is a new style created during the Xuande period. The shape is dignified and beautiful, with smooth and vivid lines. The glaze is moist and green, and the body is The bones are firm and thin. This plate is in the shape of five sunflower petals, with a slightly convex center. All-over blue and white decoration. The mouth is decorated with double lines of blue and white on the inside and outside, and the central theme is decorated with cloud and dragon patterns. The dragon is coiled around its body and its body is strong. Its layout is dense but not chaotic. The painting is exquisite. The shades of blue and white have their own moods. The interest of the pen and ink is all before your eyes. The charm. Born out of essays, it adds an elegant beauty. The six-character pattern "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" in regular script in the double circle at the bottom has a graceful character, fresh brushwork, dignity and childishness, which is in line with the simple and simple regular script of the Jin and Tang Dynasties. Such complex craftsmanship reflects the solemnity of the imperial power and highlights the luxury of palace art. It can be described as a masterpiece of craftsmanship. But this was a large plate with blue and white clouds and dragon patterns on the sunflower border. One of the claws of the dragon pattern on the plate was not five claws but six claws. This made most of the guests retreat, because they felt that such a flaw was obviously not enough. It may happen?On the genuine article. ¡°Furthermore, none of these people thought that this was a defective product that was spread outside, because at that time, this kind of porcelain was processed and broken, and it was impossible for it to be spread among the people.
