Happy Tycoon

It's not that this box has a long history, it's only something from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, that is, it is so many decades earlier than something from the Northern Song Dynasty. As for the value, it is just a silver Luban box that is suspected to be used by the royal family. The value is really not that high.

The value of a random item in the storage space is so much higher than the missing Luban box.

What Yang Jing didn't expect was that he would encounter this half-length Luban box here.

Without him, in Yang Jing's hands, there is also a half Luban box that is very similar to this Luban box.

The half-cut Luban box, Yang Jing, has been identified with the holy ring many times, and it is known that it was cast in the first year of Qingtai in the late Tang Dynasty, that is, in 934 AD, the year that the late Emperor Li Congke cried to the throne of the Late Tang Dynasty.

And that half of the Luban box was indeed something used by the royal family of the Later Tang Dynasty, cast by a person called "Yuechengzi".

The half of the Luban box in the storage space was found in the treasures of the last tsar. It is a small thing that is ugly, but it can be cherished by Nicholas II. This is enough to show Nicholas II's love for this box.

It's a pity that after getting this box, Yang Jing also thought of many ways to open this box, but because it was missing half of it, she never opened it. Yang Jing didn't dare to forcibly break the box, for fear of destroying what might be hidden in it, so he was still in the storage space.

This kind of box with complicated organs is called "Luban box" in the Chinese folk. According to folklore, it is Lubanming. There are also "organ box" and "Tianji box". Equipment for putting important things.

This kind of box can only be opened by unlocking the mechanism step by step according to certain steps. As long as the unlocking step is wrong, the box cannot be opened. If you want to break open the box forcibly, the mechanism inside the box will destroy the contents before the box is broken. The end is amazing.

At that time, after Yang Jing discovered this half of the Luban box in the treasures of the last tsar, he thought there was something important in it, but there was a half missing, the box couldn’t be opened, and the contents in it couldn’t be obtained, which made Yang Jing very tickled. For a long time.

Later, seeing that it was indeed impossible to open the box with normal methods, Yang Jing was completely dead.

I didn't think I could see the other half of the Luban box that seemed to be a complete set.

Sure enough, not many people are interested in this box. Although this box has a history of more than a thousand years, its appearance is too ordinary, and it is still incomplete. How can Europeans and Americans who have always valued interests interested in this box?

As if expected this, Timothy smiled bitterly and said something to his cousin Skeff who was standing next to him. Perhaps when this box was taken out as a lot, the people within the Mellon family did not reach a consensus.

Seeing that this box was about to pass, Yang Jing stretched out his hand and said, "Can I get it?"

This voice was particularly loud in the quiet hall, and many people's eyes immediately focused on Yang Jing.

Yang Jing explained as he walked forward, “In China, there is such a rule that if there is something inaccurate, you can apply to the owner to check it. I’m a little bit confused about this box, so I want to apply for it. Observe carefully."

Timothy took the microphone and said, "Mr. Smith, there is no problem. Please take a closer look at this box. To be honest, our family hasn't figured out what this box is all about."

This is not a formal auction after all, and all aspects of the lot must be interpreted in detail for the auctioneer to understand.

In this kind of charity auction, it doesn't matter if you can shoot or not. These auctioneers themselves are here to do charity, and charity does not enforce this.

Yang Jing walked to the front desk in two steps, took a look at Timothy and Skeff, then took a pair of white gloves from the table and put them on, then carefully picked up the box.

Seeing that the mysterious Mr. Cole Smith was so interested in this incomplete box, the people below also started talking in low voices, and suddenly there seemed to be countless green bean flies in the originally quiet hall... ..

Yang Jing picked up the box and looked at it carefully, especially when he saw the slightly sunken place on the side of the box that was incomplete, he already had a judgment in his heart.

This box is only the size of an adult's fist, so when Yang Jing activated the perspective function of "Sky Eye", he immediately saw the inside of the box.

Sure enough, there was something in it, but because it was tightly grouped together, Yang Jing couldn’t see exactly what was written or painted in the group even if he used the perspective function. The only thing that was certain was that it was a group. Silk spun.

Yang Jing has also encountered this situation. In the scroll of the "Jiangning Dajiang Map" that was scoured from the Jinling Night Market in the early 1980s, isn't the original "Qingming Shanghe Map" hidden?

Sure enough, there is something hidden in this incomplete Luban box, but I don't know what is on this ball of silk.

Yang Jing also used perspective to see the half of Luban box obtained from the treasure of the last tsar, and now that half of Luban box is not actually a box, but more like a key, because the half of Luban box is not hollow. The densely packed inside are all institutions.

And this half of Luban box is hollow. Compared with the other half of Luban box, this half of Luban box does not have too many organs, but if the other half is missing, this half of Luban box will definitely not be opened.

At this time, Yang Jing could basically be sure that the half Luban box in his hand and the half Luban box in the storage space should be a set. The half of the Luban box in the storage space is the key, and the half of the Luban box is a lock!

Yang Jing put the box down on the table, there was no surprise expression on his face, but when he took off his gloves, the little finger of his left hand seemed to inadvertently touched the half of the Luban box, and the holy ring was immediately given. The exact answer.

"The incomplete Luban box, Yuechengzi, 934."

That's right, this half of the Luban box is indeed a set with the half of the Luban box discovered from the treasure of the last tsar, and only when they work together can this Luban box be opened!

Now Yang Jing was determined, smiling and asking the white glove auctioneer who presided over the auction: "Sir, what's the starting price of this box?"

The auctioneer has been paying attention to the mysterious Mr. Cole Smith, and after hearing the words, he said respectfully: "The starting price of this box is $120,000, sir."

Although this auctioneer is a well-known white glove in New York and even the United States, he also knows that the people who come to this banquet hall today are either rich or expensive, and are far from comparable to those of the auctioneers when he presided over the auction. , So he met everyone respectfully.

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pay out 120,000." After saying the number, Yang Jing turned back and walked back, walked to the position where he was just standing, and picked up the wine glass and Bloom beside him. Berg touched it.

Even if his words were a bid, if no one competed with him, then this half of the Luban box would become Yang Jing's thing.

Cole Smith, incarnation of Yang Jing, is considered to be the man in the party today. From the beginning, he smoked cigars with the core figures of the top ten consortiums. After he came out, many tycoon-level figures came forward to make friends, which is enough to prove this. Cole Smith's weight.

When this half Luban box was taken out, no one was bidding, and it was about to pass. Cole Smith was bidding at this time. Ordinarily, no one was bidding with him. But, it seems that someone wants to bid with him today. The mysterious Cole Smith couldn't make it through.

"Two hundred thousand over here!" As soon as Yang Jing's words fell, a voice rang out from the other side of the hall. Yang Jing looked up and found that the bid was a fat white man, who just used $1.7 million to shoot. Harper Lawrence, chairman of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company who put down Monroe's necklace.

Yang Jing frowned ~www.readwn.com~ There was no sound, but Bloomberg next to him was unhappy, and whispered: "This Lawrence is a very annoying person. He didn't make a bid just now. Obviously, I didn’t care about this box. I’m now bidding again. I must have decided to do this after seeing your bid. Cole. Is this guy specifically targeting you?"

Yang Jing shook his head slightly, but still did not speak. This situation is very common in China now. When visiting ghost markets or antique markets, some people who do not understand the rules often do this. If you are a famous person in the industry, and you happen to be recognized again, then come on, you want to find something struggling.

Those who do not understand the rules or who pretend to do not understand the rules will stick to the back of your **** like brown candy. As long as you bid for an item, then they will definitely not abide by the rules and bid at the same time. Even if you are taller than you, you can die of boredom if you are not angry.

However, many of the current stall owners have also begun to be unruly. If you follow the old rules in the industry, the stall owner cannot accept other people's quotations before one person leaves, and you can't even pay more.

But many stallholders nowadays don't care if you come first, and I will sell to whomever the price is higher.

Driven by interests, many rules in the industry have been thrown out of the Nine Heavens Clouds...

The Harper Lawrence in front of him is obviously such a person. Of course, he may not understand the rules of China Antiques, but it is obviously impolite for him to suddenly bid on this occasion.

Yang Jing asked Bloomberg in a low voice: "Michael, is this guy from the Boston Consortium?"

Bloomberg nodded.

The corner of Yang Jing's mouth curled slightly, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Two hundred ten thousand!"
