Chapter 584 Auction
Hu Bayi didn’t understand cultural relics, and he had no money in his pocket. Even though the vendors were praising the cultural relics, he didn’t get involved and just watched from the sidelines.
Wu Sansheng was a good teacher and picked out a few real things to explain to Hu Bayi.
After Wu Sansheng explains, these "real cultural relics" will be quickly snatched up by the people behind him.
The stall owner couldn't help but said with a grimace: "Little Third Master Wu, why are you here again?"
"I just love to come here, do you care?"
The stall owner no longer dared to speak. He seemed to be afraid of Wu Sansheng's identity and dared not speak out in anger.
However, Hu Bayi saw something strange. After selling the "real cultural relics", these stall owners took out similar cultural relics from their backpacks.
Wu Sansheng whispered in Hu Bayi's ear: "Old Hu, see through it but don't tell it off. My father gives me little pocket money, so I can only find ways to make some extra money. Don't worry, the scammers are all rich laymen. Be honest."
We don’t lie to people.”
Hu Bayi frowned and didn't know what to say.
Then, Wu Sansheng and Hu Bayi visited several stalls and sold several "real cultural relics."
However, Hu Bayi discovered that some of the cultural relics sold at the stalls seemed to have certificates, and the year on the certificate seemed to be before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The certificate is wrinkled and yellowed, and it vaguely says several levels of cultural relics.
As long as cultural relics have such certificates, they are very easy to sell and will be snatched away quickly.
Hu Bayi asked the reason, and Wu Sansheng explained in a low voice: "Old Hu, this happened decades ago. At that time, Jiumen took the lead and organized the establishment of a national cultural relics appraisal agency, collecting most of the cultural relics across the country, and testing
The authenticity and authenticity were graded. The certificate was issued at that time, but this institution was banned after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
Hu Bayi didn't bother to ask about the reason for the ban, and asked: "So as long as the cultural relics have a certificate, they are authentic?"
"Basically they are all genuine. The certificate has a special number and is difficult to forge."
At this time, Wang Kaixuan, who was walking alone, ran over panting heavily with an angry look on his face.
Hu Bayi thought Wang Kaixuan was being bullied and quickly asked: "What's wrong, fat man?"
Wang Kaixuan said angrily: "Old Hu, that big gold tooth is not a toy. I just took my jade pendant to several stalls and asked. The least one paid 20,000. The big gold tooth belongs to this bastard's grandson.
Gave me three hundred yuan."
"Twenty thousand?" Hu Bayi couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect that the fat man's jade pendant was really a treasure.
Wu Sansheng is also interested. A jade pendant worth twenty thousand yuan is by no means an ordinary thing.
"Fat man, where is the jade pendant, show me."
Before Wang Kaixuan came, he took off the jade pendant from his neck, wrapped it in handkerchief and put it in his arms. He took out the jade pendant.
Wu Sansheng took the jade pendant, looked at it for a while and said: "It seems to have ghost cave inscriptions on it."
Hu Bayi asked: "What kind of writing is Ghost Cave Script?"
"I saw similar writings from small countries in the Western Regions when I was a child." Wu Sansheng squinted his eyes, seeming to be recalling.
"Fat man, do you want to sell this jade pendant? If so, I will give you an honest price."
"Brothers from three provinces, this jade pendant is a family heirloom left to me by my biological father. It was left to my wife."
Wu Sansheng had already figured out Wang Kaixuan's temperament, and said with a smile: "For Lao Hu's sake, the price is one hundred thousand."
One hundred thousand?
Darling, it has doubled five times.
Wang Kaixuan gritted his teeth: "Sell it!"
Hu Bayi wanted to stop him, but when Wang Kaixuan took the initiative, he couldn't say anything. Besides, the price offered by Wu Sansheng was indeed high.
He just walked around with Wu Sansheng. The cultural relics on the stalls were basically a few hundred yuan, and there were very few that cost more than a thousand yuan.
One hundred thousand is really unique.
"Okay, it's getting late, and the auction is about to start. Old Hu, Fatty, come with me. The big deal tonight will be next."
Wu Sansheng led the two of them out of the crowd, turned left and right, and came to a dim air defense passage.
There are no electric lights here, only weak candlelight on the wall.
There seemed to be a half-open stone door ahead, and four guys came out of the shadows: "Please show me your voucher."
"It's me, Wu Sansheng of the Wu family, bringing two friends in."
The leader was a young man with slender fingers. He pinched Wu Sansheng's neck and face and said, "He is from the Wu family. Let him go after registration."
"Zhang Xiaofan, the dog is watching over me."
After registering on the paper, Wu Sansheng handed the dog to the young man guarding the door, and walked into the stone gate with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
"That young man's name is Zhang Xiaofan?"
"Well, people from the Zhang family of Jiumen killed two of my teeth when I was a child, but later I chased them with dogs, and we became friends after beating them."
"Why do you still need to check if you know the gatekeeper?"
Wu Sansheng smiled: "Don't say it's me, even if my father comes, I still have to pinch him twice."
Behind the stone gate is a semicircular space, half the size of a football field.
There is a high platform in the middle with hundreds of seats arranged neatly.
The style is very simple and looks like the Colosseum in Rome.
There is still more than half an hour before the auction starts, and there are only about a dozen people in the venue.
"Our Wu family has a special box on the second floor. Come with me."
However, after entering the box, Wu Sansheng found that there was already someone in the box, and it turned out to be his second brother, Wu Erbai.
Wu Erbai has an elegant face, wears a pair of glasses, and white leather armor. He looks to be in his twenties or thirties.
He is leaning on the sofa and drinking coffee.
"Second brother, why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here? These two are Brother Hu and Brother Wang. My name is Wu Erbai, the second brother of Wu Sansheng."
After Wu Erbai put down his coffee, he walked around Wu Sansheng and Hu and Wang brothers to say hello.
Wu Sansheng cursed in a low voice, frowned and asked: "Aren't you in Hangzhou? Why are you here suddenly?"
"Dad asked me to come over and said there was a big deal in the tiger's den today and asked me to raise good funds."
"Big deal? Why didn't I know about it?"
"You've been idle all day, why do you know what you're doing?" Wu Erbai explained, then pulled Hu and Wang to sit on the sofa, and asked the waiter behind him to bring two more cups of coffee, very enthusiastically.
Hu Bayi couldn't refuse, so he could only smile and deal with it.
However, the two Wu brothers don't seem to be harmonious.
"I heard that Brother Hu is qualified to be listed in the Nine Sects?" Wu Erbai asked.
Hu Ba nodded.
"That's great. If Brother Hu has extra merit points in the future, I can buy them at a high price."
Hu Bayi didn't know how valuable the merit points of the Nine Sects were, so he could only smile and say: "It's easy to talk about."
After chatting for a while, Wu Erbai asked Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan if they had a place to stay. When he learned that they were currently living in Chen Mansion, his smile became even brighter.
Looking at the watch on his wrist, Wu Erbai said: "Sorry, brothers, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Sansheng, help me take care of my two brothers."
After saying that, he took the two waiters out of the box.
