Chapter 111 Wooden Treasures Part 1
Chapter 111: Wooden Cang
"How is it, are you still used to it?" After looking at it for a while, Liu Yufei whispered to Jia Sidao's feelings.
"It's better, I just think this place is a bit simple." Jia Sidao muttered. As a trading place for the underground black market, the villa looks not good, but it always gives people a feeling of being golden and jade on the outside and shredded inside. Even the display stand seemed to have just been built, looking irritable, with a few bricks underneath, covered with wooden boards, and then up, there were auctioneers standing next to it, with several people guarding it. Jia Sidao looked at the scene, fearing that the wooden board could not bear it, so he threw the antiques on the table.
Moreover, because there are all kinds of people in the room. There are naturally many rich bosses and there are no shortage of collectors. In addition, the secretary accompanied by the boss, or Kong Wu's powerful bodyguard, the whole room was filled with smoke. Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei couldn't help but lit a cigarette in such an environment.
In this scene, whether you smoke or not, you will breathe, and it will smell like smoke.
The ashtray on the coffee table is not worth it at all. There are cigarette butts on the entire floor.
"Haha, I'll get used to it after sitting for a while." Liu Yufei said with a smile, "And, this place is not a simple place. You know, underground black markets like them are shot and changed to another place, so how can they get so much time to prepare? No matter they are millionaires or experts and scholars, since they have come here, they have to make a pass."
Jia Sidao thought about it carefully and found that this is true. If you trade antique black markets in one place for a long time, it may be easy to leave a handle? On the contrary, it is the safest strategy to be here today and there tomorrow. Moreover, the antique black market is not open every day. If the organizer has more things, it will be more diligent and less things, so the time interval will be longer.
Only when buyers have connections and well-informed information can they take care of many black market transactions.
Of course, if you make a generous move every time, the organizer will naturally notify you in advance. Nowadays, the focus is on economy and society. Only when the buyer is rich can the seller sell at a good price.
In the stands, the auctioneer called out a few times and introduced that the painting was a work by a famous artist, but the price was only 10,000 yuan. But in the end, no one said anything, so it could only fail to sell. The style here is to take back the collection, wait for the black market to be taken out next time, or it may flow to the ordinary antique market.
There is still a certain difference between the failed auctions at legitimate auctions.
Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei sat for a while, looked at the items on the stage, and changed one after another like a quick look. The people below were all in a bad mood, which made Jia Sidao very curious and asked privately: "Brother Liu, this black market does not seem as lively as imagined."
"Now? The good things have not started yet. It's just warming up." Liu Yufei was also a little absent-minded and said, "There are all defective products on the stage, which are not of high value. It is inevitable that everyone can't get any interest."
Although the things in the black market, genuine and fake are all mixed together. However, since you can host black market transactions, those people will not be fools. You still know a little about what is valuable and what is not valuable. Good things naturally need to be placed behind. Of course, it is not ruled out that those who are interested deliberately put old things and have better quality and are placed behind for auction. At this time, you need to test your own eyesight.
Look, after a round of auctions, the auctioneer announced a few minutes of rest. Everyone went to the toilet, chatted, and went out to get some breath, but they all dispersed all at once. When they came back again, there were a few more faces in the room. Everyone didn't care much. As long as they were not acquaintances, they wouldn't say much even if they met them in such a place.
And the auctioneer stood on the stage like this, as if it was a signal, and everyone present was cheering up.
Bronzes, pottery, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, etc. are placed one after another. This time, unlike the previous one who only listens to the auctioneer's introduction, you can inspect the goods before the auction, so that those who like it will bid directly.
Of course, like a normal auction, not everyone can watch the goods. People who are guarding things must see your strength in advance, that is, the money you bring. The price you can afford can naturally look at what kind of goods. Even if you want to take pictures one by one, it is allowed. As for those who do not want to fully reveal their money, there is still a chance to inspect the goods during the auction later. As long as you shout, you will be potential customers and no one will be unable to get along with the money.
Now we are just a preliminary look and have a general impression. Everyone takes turns to come. When Jia Sidao wanted to touch and sense it with his hands, he was stopped.
Liu Yufei stood behind Jia Sidao and glanced at him. Then Jia Sidao retracted his hand awkwardly. Could it be that there were some other things here? Today, Jia Sidao was thinking about the tricks in the black market, which was far more numerous than the ordinary antique market.
However, a big belly man in front of Jia Sidao can now play with his hands. It is precisely because of his precedent that Jia Sidao wants to get started. If he is not allowed, he can only feel depressed. Why is the gap between people so big?
Liu Yufei smiled and pushed Jia Si, and said softly in his ear: "That's someone else's old customer."
No matter where you go, you will always have some privileges if you get the word "old customer".
After seeing all the items, everyone sat back to their previous positions one after another. Some with cameras, or other high-tech tools, such as laptops, can now watch the pictures taken over and over again, and even compare them with some standard instruments. The people next to them wanted to come over and take a look, but these people were dodging like treasures, and couldn't help but curse a few times.
Everyone also cursed and replied a few words, then turned around and stopped looking.
After all, everyone knows that whenever someone is photographed and compared, as long as the thing is right, it is something that wants to take action. If someone sees the data and competes with him, it is a potential competitor. It is naturally not easy to show the information for others. If you want to blame, you can only blame the tools that have not been prepared.
It’s like Jia Sidao. Looking at those people’s digital cameras, notebooks, etc., there was a feeling in his eyes. Who said that the underground black market for antiques does not have any technical content? These are all high-tech. People like Jia Sidao with magnifying glasses are a bit out of date.
The auction really began after a hustle and bustle.
Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei naturally would not pay attention to those things that were not interested. There was no jadeite among them. This made Jia Sidao wonder whether Liu Yidao was fooling Liu Yufei. After asking Liu Yufei, Liu Yufei didn't care. He lowered his head and thought about it, as if he was cultivating his spirits.
However, Jia Sidao was not sure about the blue and white underglaze red incense burner that he was interested in. When it was put on for auction, Jia Sidao also tried to shout a price of 130,000 yuan. Then, he walked up to play with it excitedly. This was learned and sold on the spot. It seemed that as long as he was shouting, he could go up and study it carefully. Even if he got it, no one would stop him.
Moreover, compared to the first look before, at this time, the person who is guarding the items is watching you come and get started, with a smile on his face.
Although they are all big and thick men, they don’t have any beauty when they smile. Jia Sidao couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “Smile Service” has unknowingly penetrated into the antique black market, which shows how powerful its charm is.
While sighing, the movements in his hands did not fall. A magnifying glass or something came in handy at this time. The blue and white underglaze red incense burner has a more exquisite shape, which is more complicated than the brush washing or something. The patterns and paintings are all good, and the paintings are first-class. The brushwork is free and smooth, the glaze is pure, the glaze is like jade, and the body is delicate, especially the three beast feet are vivid, which makes Jia Sidao particularly like it.
But after looking at the bottom, this joy was like fire encountering water, and it was suddenly diluted.
I sat back on my seat. Someone over there increased the price to 150,000 yuan, and Jia Sidao did not bid again. He was still sighing in his heart. It was a pity that such a good incense burner was actually a copy of the folk kiln.
"Why, I was hit so quickly?" Liu Yufei looked at Jia Si with some amusement.
"It's not a blow, right?" Jia Sidao refuted. However, no matter how you say this tone, you feel a little discouraged. After all, you finally came to the antique black market, although it was still in a place like Shendao, where porcelain is famous all over the world, not to mention a few pieces of porcelain in the items. This only incense burner that made Jia Sidao look at in terms of quality is also a folk kiln with low value. If you end up returning empty-handed, it is really too far from Jia Sidao's expected expectations.
When Liu Yufei heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head meaningfully. Jia Sidao's frustration was completely written on his expression. Liu Yufei didn't need to ask any more questions at all to see. Of course, Jia Sidao was looking bored at the auction table, where there was a strange-shaped root carving. He ignored the playfulness in Liu Yufei's smile.
