Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The auction has officially started.

What surprised Lin Ran was that the host of this auction turned out to be the female host of the Flower and Bird Market Auction House.

Today, she is still wearing a close-fitting cheongsam, looking extremely elegant.

Some of the men below were whispering to each other, asking for news about her.

Apparently, the female host is used to this.

She showed a professional smile and said: "Welcome to this auction organized by Qiansong Auction. This auction is of great significance. You don't have to worry about buying fakes. We have invited Master Zheng, Master Jiang and Song from the capital. Master, three masters from the capital have jointly appraised it, guaranteeing that they are all genuine."

With that said, Zheng Xueming, Jiang Hua and another middle-aged man of similar age stood up and waved to everyone.

"Master Song?" Wei Chengbin thought that there were only two large literary and entertainment shops in the capital, Tianle Xing and Liulifang, but he didn't expect a man named Song to show up.

This kind of thing still needs to be explained by Yang Jianlong.

"His name is Song Tiao, and he was the owner of Liulifang earlier than Jianghua. He later transferred it to Jianghua, and he started a financial business. This auction house is his property."

No wonder Zheng Xueming and Jiang Hua were summoned at the same time. They turned out to be seniors in the industry.

Like them, most people were unfamiliar with Song Tiao's name, but they felt relieved after meeting the other two antique shop owners.

Then, the host introduced the guests seated in the front row.

Good guys, they are all managers on the front line of the capital's economic construction. Chambers of commerce like Yuan Jiahao are private organizations and have not been invited.

After introducing the managers in the front row, most of the people participating in the auction felt at ease.

No matter how arrogant you are, you wouldn't dare sell fake goods in front of such a big shot.

Most of the other people participating in the auction were celebrities from all walks of life.

Their names were placed on the tables in the hotel, and they were seated accordingly.

Lin Ran's seat was relatively forward, and they had an excellent view.

Zheng Xueming and Jiang Hua were accompanying Chen Qi and sitting on their left.

This kind of seating arrangement made Yang Jianlong feel extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't even dare to make any small movements.

Unexpectedly, the city would take the auction seriously.

This may be the first time in New China, because the cultural and entertainment market was not well received in the past and was rarely even mentioned actively.

Their presence here means that the cultural and entertainment market has become hot, affecting the city's economy.

Originally, the host should have left directly after the warm-up and let the auctioneer come on.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the lights dimmed, the venue was completely invisible. However, because they had said hello in advance, they did not fall into chaos.

Less than a minute later, the lights came on again.

The host who was previously wearing a cheongsam has changed into a standard women's suit. Like magic, she is not only the host, but also the auctioneer.

The audience applauded, they were very satisfied with this arrangement.

The host smiled and announced the start of the auction.

The first auction item was pushed up by the staff.

It turned out to be the Jun kiln narcissus basin they were looking at just now.

"The first auction item is a cultural relic of the Northern Song Dynasty, a porcelain used in the palace, Jun kiln red, priceless. The starting price is three thousand."

Since they had read the information before, everyone present already knew the information about the cultural relics, so the explanation was very smooth and went directly to the topic.

The starting price is three thousand, which is indeed not a small amount.

"Five thousand." The first person to bid was Chen Qi.

Lin Ran followed the sound and looked. He seemed to like this piece of porcelain very much and looked determined to get it.

Generally speaking, items at auction become more valuable as time goes by.

Jun Kiln was put first in the auction, but he didn't see any valuable cultural relics along the way.

Some interest arose in my heart, and indeed I had a trump card.

At this time, Lin Ran noticed that Liu Ye actually made a bid.

He was a little surprised. Not to mention that he didn't think Liu Ye had a hobby of collecting. From previous contacts with him, it was obvious that he had a disdainful attitude towards traditional Chinese culture.

He doesn't look like someone who collects antiques at all, and he couldn't even come up with 600 yuan last time. How did he get 4000 yuan to buy Jun Kiln?

His family may not have money, but he personally cannot afford this amount.

Lin Ran watched with interest. He noticed that Liu Ye and Song He's friends were sitting in different places.

He suddenly realized: No wonder these laymen were invited here. It turned out that they were here on a commission basis.

After Liu Ye shouted out the price of four thousand, everyone seemed to want to heat up the atmosphere and followed the price one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the price was raised to [-].

This price is already terrifying.

Wei Chengbin and Li Yuanhao were discussing in a low voice next to them: "Did their money come from the sky? Is this the price?"

"Part of it is trust, and the other part is thinking that Jun Kiln will appreciate in value." Lin Ran explained.

"How can the value of this thing increase? If we put it in our factory, we can make it for just a few yuan and sell it for dozens of yuan." Wei Chengbin thought they were all crazy.

"They are not buying collectibles, but financial products." Lin Ran saw the way they paid. Most of them had names they had never heard of, not like collectors.

And like investors.

He frowned. Although he didn't like this kind of person, he admired Song He for being able to find so many outsiders to participate in the auction.

And there must be some kind of rules set up that make them willing to pay.

Just when he was stunned, he heard someone calling ten thousand.

And it was Chen Qi.

Zheng Xueming who was standing next to him seemed to want to tell him that this thing was not that valuable, but Chen Qi obviously didn't care and continued to bid.

After he shouted out the price of 1, there was no sound in the venue.

In the end, he bought the Jun porcelain narcissus basin for [-] yuan. He looked proud and said: "Buy what you like. This is my style."

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows. In his opinion, Chen Qi was exactly what Song He needed.

The host dropped the hammer, and the ownership of the cultural relics came into Chen Qi's hands.

It will be collected by the company first, and the balance will be paid after the exhibition, and you can go to the backstage to collect it.

Soon, the second lot was pushed down.

It turned out to be a pink-green chihu amphora made during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty.

Lin Ran did not see this exhibit in the hall.

He observed carefully that the glaze color was green and elegant, and the glaze surface had a soft luster. It was obviously a lime alkali glaze.

"This pink celadon glaze porcelain fired in Jingdezhen in the Qing Dynasty inherited the fine tradition of Longquan celadon. During the Qianlong period, the production technology reached its peak and the colors could be freely adjusted. It was an indispensable presence in the decoration of the Qing palace. This piece is even more It is the collection of Emperor Qianlong." The host introduced with a smile.
