Become the richest man from picking up junk

Chapter 167

Two or three minutes later, the lights of the entire auction house dimmed.

Afterwards, only a few dull bells were heard, which resounded through the entire auction site in an instant!
Even in the box, Shen Jian could still hear the cheers from the audience.

After a while, the cheers gradually faded, and a light suddenly shone on the stage, and William stood in the light.

"Everyone, good evening, I am William, the general manager of Mokai Auction House."

After a pause, William continued: "I know everyone has been waiting impatiently, so I won't say any more. I announce that this auction will start now!"

As soon as the words fell, the lights of the entire auction venue turned on and flickered around, but in the end they all gathered on the booth.

At the same time, the audience applauded thunderously and applauded one after another.

Everyone who came here knows that this auction is of particularly high quality, without any moisture, and is highly anticipated.

Probably the only one who is not familiar with the situation is Shen Jian

"Everyone, the next thing that will appear on the stage is the first lot of this auction, a Tang Sancai porcelain jar produced by an official kiln in the Qing Dynasty."

After the words fell, a floor on the booth began to crack, and a crack appeared.

As the crack widened, a bidding car gradually appeared in people's field of vision from the crack.

While the bidding car was going up, William said, "Everyone, everyone must be aware of the quality of this auction, so let's not make those falsehoods, and let's go directly to the auction!"

What William was referring to was naturally the woman who was in charge of exhibiting items at ordinary auctions.

In previous auctions, many people came for those women.

In order to announce the professionalism of this auction to the outside world, Mokai Auction House specially set up this rule.

"Okay, everyone, please allow me to introduce, this Tang Sancai porcelain pot was produced in the late Qing Dynasty. It is not very far away from us, but it is of great significance!"

"Everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty was an era in which Chinese and Western art merged, and this Tang Sancai Porcelain Jar is the product of the fusion of Chinese and Western arts!"

"This Tang Sancai Porcelain Jar has a reserve price of 500 million! Each bid must not be less than [-]. Now, the auction begins!"

After the words fell, the voice of quotation immediately sounded from the audience.

Auctions with low prices like this are very popular. At this time, it is useless to raise a sign. The comparison is who can hold the audience by asking the price!

"I'll offer five million and fifty thousand!"

"Cut, it's too incompetent to add a minimum auction price. I'll bid 510 million!"

"It's as if you're so good, I'll pay you 550 million!"

For a while, the audience was in chaos.

At this time, Lin Mengqi who was sitting in the box turned her head to look at Shen Jian, and asked, "Are you interested?"

Shaking his head, Shen Jian said, "Don't worry, I'll take another look."

After finishing speaking, Shen Jian took a deep breath, calmed down, and shouted: "I learn, I learn, I learn!"

In the next second, Shen Jian's eyes changed, and a golden light flashed in a daze.

In Shen Jian's eyes, a subtle change also took place in the Tang Sancai porcelain jar on the stage.

It seemed that Shen Jian was looking for that change, going back to the era he belonged to.

Then, a picture appeared in front of Shen Jian's eyes. It was in the official kiln of the Qing Dynasty, someone was adding coal, and someone was pulling the bellows.

In the end, a work of art turned out to be the Tang Sancai Porcelain Jar in front of them.

Seeing this, Shen Jian raised his brows slightly. It seemed that, as Lin Mengqi said, this auction was full of gold, and the first lot was actually the real one.

Although he has been in the antique world, he still has common sense.

Antiques are real and fake, fake and real, novices can't touch them, veterans can't touch them.

Turning his head, Shen Jian looked at Lin Mengqi and said, "This is true."

It doesn't matter if you don't turn around, once you turn around, you will see Lin Mengqi's extremely strange eyes.

Immediately, Lin Mengqi asked, "What did you shout just now?"

Scratching his head, Shen Jian said with some embarrassment: "No...it's nothing, it's a habit. When I was young, my family taught me that shouting this sentence when appraising treasures would have unexpected effects."

There was no other way, Shen Jian could only prevaricate casually.

Hearing Shen Jian's words, Lin Mengqi asked more interestedly: "Really?"

After speaking, she tried it herself, but the result was self-evident.

"Tch, liar."

After waving his hand, Shen Jian said helplessly, "I didn't say it would work, it's just a habit."

Afterwards, Lin Mengqi snorted softly, and intentionally moved closer to Shen Jianno.

Shen Jian also noticed this, and didn't say anything, how embarrassing would it be if this broke her?

"Good! This Tang Sancai Porcelain Jar was finally won by No. 35 at a price of [-] million. Please congratulate bidder No. [-]."

After saying that, bidder No. [-] got up and waved his hand towards the back, but there was not much response, only sparse applause.

After all, this is only the first lot, so naturally it can't cause too much trouble.

After a pause, William continued: "The next thing will be very interesting. I think there are many people who like to paint, right?"

"Next, let's invite the second lot!"

It was still the way of debut just now, the cracks widened, and the bidding cars gradually rose.

"This lot is the work "Contemplative Woman" by Greuze, a master of post-impressionism style. Anyone who understands paintings must know better than me what it represents."

After the words fell, the auction car also parked steadily on the booth.

Seeing the reaction from the audience, William smiled slightly, and tore off the red curtain directly, and a perfect painting appeared in front of everyone.

"My God! It's really "Woman in Contemplation"! Why is this painting worth 1000 million?"

"That depends on whether it is an authentic work. If it is an authentic work, it will definitely reach the price of 1000 million!"

"I said William, where did you get this painting from the auction house? It seems that this painting has been collected by the museum, right?"

Hearing this, William was slightly taken aback, and then replied with a smile: "I don't know where I got this painting, but our auction house can guarantee its authenticity."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the audience immediately rose to a peak!

Seeing that the atmosphere below is about the same, William coughed lightly, and continued: "I don't think I need to introduce it. Everyone understands the romance contained in it."

"The starting price for this piece of "Woman in Contemplation" is 700 million, and each increase must not be less than [-]. The auction begins!"

As soon as the words fell, they were looted by a crowd.

Of course, some of these people might have been inserted by the auction, after all, there would always be such people in any auction, big or small, in order to enhance the atmosphere of the scene.

And Shen Jian was sitting in the box at this time, with a slightly bitter expression on his face.
