Inherit For Three Thousand Years

In the afternoon of the second day, Xiao Yao came to the auction hall half an hour earlier.

Tang Tianhao arrived a while earlier than Xiao Yao, but he was not eager to enter the auction hall and sit down. Instead, he stood at the door and chatted with his acquaintances, until he saw Xiao Yao coming by, and then he greeted Xiao Yao. past.

Two people walked into the auction hall chatting and laughing. People kept greeting Tang Tianhao along the way. Occasionally, someone would recognize Xiao Yao's identity and greet him.

Tang Tianhao, as the third-generation eldest son of the Tang family, is basically known to all the people in Kyoto who have a good face. In the boundary of Kyoto, it can be said that he is crossed all over the world.

In comparison, Xiao Yao is too low-key. Sometimes someone can recognize him because he attended a business dinner hosted by the Municipal Federation of Industry and Commerce. Some of the business leaders who attended the dinner were caring people. Remember his looks. It's just that they are not yet familiar with each other, so they are only limited to meeting to say hello.

After the two people were seated, people still came over to greet Tang Taihao until the host stepped onto the auction stage, and Tang Tianhao calmed down.

After the French auction began, the first lot was jewelry, and Xiao Yao was not interested in these, and he did not raise a placard even once.

The auction lasted for an hour, and the Qianlong jade seal that Xiao Yao valued the most was finally put on auction.

The auctioneer’s tone increased by 8 degrees, and he said excitedly: “The next item to be auctioned is one of the most important jade artifacts at this auction-the Qianlong jade seal! This treasure is one of the important seals produced by Emperor Qianlong in the early stages of his succession. 1. In terms of material, the white jade used is very psychic and moist, and the whole body is white and fine. It is rare among the white jade used to make treasure seals, and it is huge in size, with a seal surface of 12.5 cm square, which is the largest of all the Qianlong emperor's famous seals. One party. The starting price of this treasure is 40 million yuan, and each increase should not be less than 10,000 yuan. Now the bidding starts!"

While the auctioneer was speaking, a lady concierge pushed up the new lot.

After the yellow silk on the Yuxi was lifted off, Xiao Yao was disappointed.

This jade seal is indeed the complete jade seal used by Emperor Qianlong, but this is just an ordinary seal, not the treasure of luck that Xiao Yao expected.

Although slightly regretful, Xiao Yao is not disappointed either. The treasure of luck is too rare, every piece can be met and unquestionable, and he just came with a glimmer of hope. Of course, he is happy when the miracle occurs. If the miracle does not occur, it is normal.

Even if this jade seal is not a treasure of luck, it is also a rare antique treasure. If the price is not very high, Xiao Yao still hopes to be able to photograph it.

After all, he had already told Tang Tianhao that he liked this Qianlong jade seal, and with his financial resources, it would be reasonable to photograph it.

Xiao Yao was sitting in front of the auction hall, and his eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people. He could clearly see the Qianlong jade seal placed on the tray.

At the same time, the LED screens on both sides of the auction table simultaneously presented all the details of this Qianlong jade seal.

This precious white jade has a dragon button, a square seal, and the four characters "Qianlong imperial pen" in Chinese seal script, in Yang.

The Ssangyong in this stamped dragon button has a thin body, smooth and scaleless, with a staggered back, with a tall chest, a slightly raised head, and a majestic look in front of it. Ssangyong's body is clearly coiled. Fine carving, meticulous polishing, smooth as a mirror.

Its style is similar to the gold national treasures such as the Manchu "Treasure of Fengtian" and "Treasure of the Son of Heaven" collected in the Palace Museum in the early Qing Dynasty and the jasper "Treasure of Kangxi Imperial Brush" auctioned by Beijing Huachen Auction Company in 2003. They are consistent with the typical style of Jiaolong button in the early Qing Dynasty.

Compared with the normal ratio of the stamp pad and the stamp button, this treasure stamp pad is slightly lower.

Obviously, it was Emperor Qianlong who ordered the craftsmen to grind away the words of a Fang Baoxi from the previous dynasty and re-engrave the four characters "Qianlong Imperial Pen". This is also the special feature of this treasure.

Such a huge seal is usually used to seal larger works, and it is most likely to be used to seal larger palace plaques.

This jade seal has a very high collection value and many bidders.

After a short period of time, the price soared from 40 million to 80 million, and the card holders were still in an endless stream.

Tang Tianhao whispered next to him, "Qianlong Yuxi's reputation is too big, and there are too many people who want to collect it. It seems that the desire to collect it is unlikely to come true. Brother Xiao, do you want me to help you raise the placard? If I hold a card, other people should give me some face."

"It's not necessary, it's just over 100 million yuan at most. The final hammer price is likely to be lower than the market price, at most the same as the market price, and unlikely to exceed the market price." In order to make a play for the mere tens of millions, Xiao Haruka hasn't dropped the price so much.

Xiao Yao's judgment was very accurate. After the price exceeded 90 million, there were not many people competing, and only three people were still holding placards.

After the price exceeded 100 million, the people holding the placard became more cautious, and the auctioneer shouted: "The first time of 105 million!"

It was not until this time that Xiao Yao started to raise his placard for the first time, shouting loudly: "110 million!"

After he shouted the price, the venue suddenly became quiet.

The market price of this Qianlong jade seal is about 140 million to 150 million. The price reaches this level, plus the commission, appears in the foreclosure, and the price is not low, no matter who is holding the placard. , Will be cautiously engaged.

"For the first time at 110 million, is there anyone holding a placard?"

After waiting a while, someone shouted: "112 million!"

Without any hesitation, Xiao Yao raised his placard again, "115 million!"

The auctioneer waited for a while, but there was still no one bidding, and said, "The first time of 115 million yuan!"

After waiting for a while, there was still no one bidding, and the auctioneer shouted again: "115 million second time!"

After the auctioneer's third bid, there was still no placard. Xiao Yao finally sold this Qianlong jade seal for 115 million.

Tang Tianhao congratulated him on the side: "Congratulations Brother Xiao! The price is reasonable, not very high."

"I'm stunned by you. If it weren't for the two of us to come in together, the one who raised the placard in the end might have another fight." Xiao Yao said.

"If he is acquainted, Brother Xiao, you are asking for a price. He even dared to argue. When I meet him someday, I have to teach him how to behave." Obviously, Tang Tianhao was very dissatisfied with the last competitor who raised the placard. .

Xiao Yao was not so overbearing, and shook his head and said, "There is no need, fair competition in the auction arena. Whoever pays more will be whoever pays. I can't afford to pay for it. At most, it is a matter of eighteen million. , There is no need to anger people."
