Chapter 260 Before the Auction
Chapter 260 Before the Auction
The car arrived at the venue very quickly. There were already many people at the scene. The staff led them to the exhibition hall first. There were many exhibits in the exhibition hall, some of which were even auction items tonight, but the value was not very high.
Since it is an exchange meeting, necessary visits and discussions are essential.
Shang Zhenguo told them to go and see what they were interested in, and then he went to consult the organizer on related matters.
Lin Xi and Feng Yuchen did not run around, but followed behind Old Yun and Liu Changsheng.
“These calligraphy and paintings are nice.”
"This is Huaisu's calligraphy."
......
Old Yun and Liu Changsheng stood in front of several paintings and calligraphy, admiring them. As Chinese, they were definitely interested in things from their own country.
The two elders discussed the matter with great interest for a long time. In the end, no one knew what they were talking about, but their faces were filled with indignation and regret.
Lin Xi asked with concern: "Grandpa, what happened?"
"Alas, I have to go to other people's places to see my own things."
Liu Changsheng also lamented: "I don't know when these treasures of our country will be able to return to the motherland."
Looking at the two elders, Lin Xi was also very emotional. Suddenly, she had a bold idea in her mind.
The organizer of this event is an auction house in Eagle Country. Many of the exhibits this time are from China. Why not...
Feng Yuchen watched her eyes rolling around, then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "I'll come with you tonight."
Lin Xi glanced at him, and his eyes revealed one message: Do you know what I want to do?
Feng Yuchen looked at her with a smile and answered her with just one look.
Lin Xi: Well, I really can’t hide anything.
Now that he had the idea of buying everything, Lin Xi looked at the exhibits with a smile on his face.
This piece of porcelain is so exquisite, take it with you.
This vase is beautiful, take it with you.
This stone tablet looks quite heavy, but it’s no problem, just take it with you.
This painting is by Zheng Banqiao and must be taken with you.
Take it all, take it all, whether it’s from China or not.
......
Lin Xi became more and more excited as he looked at the exhibits, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Lin Xi: If you don’t take advantage of the situation, you’ll lose money.
The four of them walked around the exhibition hall for a long time before Shang Zhenguo and Qi Feng came back.
Shang Zhenguo said: "It has been arranged. There will be an academic discussion meeting in the afternoon. I will have to trouble Elder Yun and Elder Liu then."
The two elders waved their hands and said, "It's just sharing experiences, it's not a big deal."
Only then did Lin Xi realize that the two elders would also go on stage to speak. He didn't expect that the two elders also had a certain say in the field of historical relics in the international arena.
After visiting the exhibition hall, several people found a place to rest. Instead of running around, everyone gathered together to chat.
During this time, several acquaintances of Mr. Yun and Mr. Liu came over to say hello, but they were all foreigners.
Lin Xi listened carefully to the discussion session in the afternoon and learned a lot.
After the discussion ended, Shang Zhenguo ordered his subordinates to take the others back to the hotel, leaving only Yun Lao, Liu Changsheng, Qi Feng, Lin Xi, and Feng Yuchen.
Shang Zhenguo said, "The auction will start at 8 pm. Before that, the organizer has arranged a banquet, and some of the finale items will be exhibited at that time. I will trouble the two elders and Xixi then."
Originally, Shang Zhenguo still had some thoughts about Lin Xi, but after today, Shang Zhenguo completely believed what Old Yun said, that Lin Xi is a man of real ability and is very strong.
All three of them replied, “No problem.”
The banquet started quickly. Lin Xi had met some of the people there at the discussion meeting in the daytime. They were all bigwigs in the cultural relics world.
In addition, there are some people who are dressed in suits and look bright and handsome, and it is obvious that they are either rich or noble.
Soon, the organizer came out to speak.
"Hello everyone, I am Charlie, the person in charge of this auction. I will now show you some of the items in the auction."
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain behind him slowly opened, and display stands appeared in front of everyone.
Suddenly, there were conversations all around.
"This Soth Auction House is really bold. They put the items on display so openly, and they are not afraid of being robbed."
"Do you think they are vegetarians?"
"If they continue to dare to take it out, then I'm definitely not afraid."
"Don't take a replica."
"It's unlikely. There are many world-class families present tonight."
......
While the crowd was still discussing, some people had already come forward to view the items.
Shang Zhenguo and a few others followed the crowd and walked forward. They went straight to the second display stand, where a Langyao red gourd bottle was displayed.
The entire bottle has a base diameter of 27.8 cm and a height of 72.0 cm, and has a regular shape.
The gourd is full-bodied, the bottle cover is rich in red glaze, flowing naturally, hanging lightly on the shoulders, bright and elegant. The color is like ox blood scarlet, and the vessel is as beautiful as a beauty.
Except for Lin Xi and Feng Yuchen, the others were all trembling with excitement. Old Liu couldn't help but sighed, "It's really beautiful."
Shang Zhenguo said: "It is indeed a national treasure."
Then, Mr. Yun, Mr. Liu and Shang Zhenguo each took a magnifying glass from the tray beside them and looked at the Langyao red gourd bottle.
Since there were many people doing the same thing around them, their behavior did not seem out of place.
Qi Feng, on the other hand, stood by and waited quietly.
Seeing that Lin Xi was just standing aside and watching, not getting very close, he asked, "Don't you want to go and take a look?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "There are still a lot of people here, so I won't squeeze in."
In fact, the moment he entered the banquet hall, Lin Xi had already used his spiritual sense to explore the entire banquet hall, and naturally discovered these items.
After waiting for a long time, the three Yun brothers finally came out.
Elder Yun said: "Ninety percent of the stuff is real."
Mr. Liu agreed: "That's right, I can't see any trace of fraud."
Shang Zhenguo also nodded, and the three of them turned their gazes to Lin Xi, "Xixi, what do you think?"
“The stuff is real.”
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, at such a large auction, there was a very small chance of fake items appearing.
However, apart from a pair of Langyao red gourd bottles that were once exhibited in their country, they had never heard of any other almost identical Langyao red gourd bottles.
In addition, there are endless cheating methods nowadays, so they have many concerns.
Then, the few of them quickly looked at the other items one by one and basically concluded that they were all authentic.
"Since there is no problem with the things, let's proceed as planned." Qi Feng said.
After they reached an agreement, they waited for the auction to begin. Soon, everyone entered the auction hall under the guidance of the staff.
The auction house was very large, divided into two floors. Lin Xi and his friends were arranged to sit in a seat on the first floor.
Lin Xi noticed that there were already people in several private rooms on the second floor.
