It wasn't just Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai who were discussing bidding strategies there. Those buyers who were interested in this bronze piece and felt that they were strong enough to have a chance of winning the auction were also inviting their peers or themselves to bid for it. The expert appraisal experts were discussing in low voices.

"The base price is one hundred thousand."

The auctioneer saw that everyone sat back to their original positions and started the auction.However, there was silence at the scene, and after waiting for several minutes, no one followed suit.

Seeing this situation, the auctioneer didn't find it strange, because this is quite common in the process of precious auctions. It's like shooting a bird with a gun. Anyone who is interested in this bronze ban doesn't want to be that one. Early birds.

For this situation, the auctioneer was also prepared. He looked around and paused for a while at the front left.

"50!" Immediately, I saw a man in his 50s with a thin face, a pair of black-rimmed tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose, neat appearance, and looked like an old scholar, and he raised his sign to quote the price.

In fact, this old scholar had been active before, and since he hadn't photographed anything, everyone knew that he should be Tuo.But the situation at this time is like a battlefield where swords are drawn. Suddenly, a crisp gunshot broke the silence on the battlefield, and then bullets spewed out, instantly raising the price of the lot by ten times. As many as 500 million.

"Okay! The boss here bid 600 million!" The auctioneer said again, his voice was filled with a trace of excitement, which infected everyone present.

600 million, seems to be a rallying call, so that those bosses who had just recharged their batteries began to sit up straight, their eyes became brighter, and some of them couldn't wait, and they began to quote prices. And it increased by as much as 200 million as soon as it was shot.

"800 million!"

Hearing this quotation, Qiao Qingtai's expression became a little nervous. He touched Chu Chen beside him with his elbow and asked:
"Xiao Chu, are we going to bid?"

"Wait for now." Chu Chen smiled slightly and gave Qiao Qingtai a reassuring look.Then, he turned his head back to pay attention to the auction information. However, most of the time, his eyes did not pay attention to the people who were bidding, but consciously or unconsciously, he would look at the person sitting on the right side of their seat. young man.

This person is of medium height, with a pair of piercing eyes, a high nose bridge, a confident smile all the time on his face, coupled with decent clothes, he can be seen as a successful person at first glance.

The reason why Chu Chen paid attention to him intentionally or unintentionally was also because this person had never made an offer since just now.It wasn't that he and Chu Chen were the only ones who hadn't bid yet, but it was because this person had spent more time observing the bronze piece than the others.

The observation time was too long. As mentioned above, this is likely to be preferential treatment from old customers. However, during the observation process, Chu Chen could clearly see the look in his eyes that wanted to keep things in his pocket. Chu.

That's why Chu Chen would look at this person from time to time, ready to bid with him.In addition, the current price is not at the bottom line, even if he guessed wrong, there is still time to make up for it, so he is not in a hurry.

Seeing Chu Chen's gaze, Qiao Qingtai smiled a little embarrassedly. He knew that he was a little bit concerned and confused, which made him somewhat thankful that he didn't take the bidding on himself, otherwise he would definitely suffer when he made the bid. loss.

As time passed, when someone bid more than 1000 million, the middle-aged man couldn't hold back anymore.At this time, there were only five bidders, and one of them was the old scholar who was suspected to be entrusted just now.

When the old scholar quoted 50 million, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his placard to bid. What surprised everyone was that this person directly added 150 million to his first bid, bringing the price directly to 1000 and [-] million.This powerful method of raising prices made many people look at him with admiration.

"The boss bid 1000 and [-] million. I wonder if anyone else will raise the price?" At this time, the tone of the auctioneer gradually increased, and the excitement was beyond words.

A potbellied boss came to his senses, frowned again, and only increased the price by [-]. However, no matter how poor the eyesight of the people present, they could vaguely see that the price was already close to his bottom line. .

Chu Chen saw that the time to make a bid should be ripe, so he also raised his placard to bid. His price increase was not as sharp as that of the middle-aged man, and he only increased by [-].But at this price, the fat boss's face was full of hesitation, watching Chu Chen momentarily undecided whether to follow or not.

Chu Chen smiled slightly at the fat boss, but it was not him who raised the price next, but the middle-aged boss just now. His price increase this time was not high, just like Chu Chen, only [-].

Next, Chu Chen and this middle-aged man, you 400 and I [-], you come and go for a while, and after a few back and forth, the price climbed to [-] million without knowing it.

Seeing this situation, the fat boss just now could only give a wry smile, wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and gave up the fight.

At this time, only Chu Chen and the middle-aged man were bidding at the scene, and the other guests looked like they had nothing to do with them, watching the excitement, while the auctioneer had a smile on his face. Both sides increased the price, and the smile became brighter, and the eyes almost disappeared in the end.

Next, the price came out of the mouths of the two of them one by one. It seemed calm, but it gave the impression that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be getting more and more tense. When the price exceeded 500 million, Chu Chen suddenly bowed his head in thought, as if he didn't follow.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face showed color, while Qiao Qingtai was extremely anxious. If he hadn't had a sense of reason in his heart, maybe he would have made an offer.

However, just when the middle-aged man thought he was the final winner, the old scholar suddenly offered an offer, which made the man feel rather uncomfortable, and immediately raised the price again.

"Xiao Chu, you wouldn't have guessed that this person would make a move, would you?" Qiao Qingtai asked curiously.

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "I just saw that he meant this, let him chase after it for a while before talking."

Qiao Qingtai scratched his head when he heard the words. Chu Chen clearly said that he would not give up just now, but he almost didn't believe Chu Chen, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

Chu Chen smiled, and understood Qiao Qingtai's behavior quite well, but now that the auction was at its most critical, he didn't say much, and kept paying attention to the bidding situation of the two.

Because the old scholar suddenly bid, some people at the scene thought that he was not entrusted, but Chu Chen didn't think so, because this person was careful every time he raised the price, if he was not entrusted, why should he do this?
When the price exceeded 600 million, although the old scholar still wanted to increase the price, he really couldn't stand such a tense atmosphere, so he could only give up regretfully.

The middle-aged man was also quite satisfied with the result, but what made him feel extremely depressed was that just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, Chu Chen actually made another bid, and it was suddenly increased to 800 million.This made many people on the scene gasp.

"810 million!" The middle-aged man gave Chu Chen a deep look.

"2000 million!" Chu Chen replied with a confident smile.

The middle-aged man was stunned. He had already been affected by the two situations just now, but now Chu Chen raised his price so sharply, which gave him a feeling that it was hard to match. The effect achieved is one effort, then decline, three exhaustion.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and in the end he probably felt that it was more likely that Chu Chen would continue to follow, so he finally chose to give up.

"... 2000 million three times, deal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the auctioneer blushed and knocked down the gavel in his hand.And there was a warm sound at the scene.

"Xiao Chu, when are we going back?" Qiao Qingtai asked impatiently as soon as the auction ended.

"Let's go now."

Chu Chen replied, although there are still a few items to be auctioned, none of them are what Chu Chen wants, and besides some fakes deliberately mixed in, there are some problems with the source of the other things, so he does not Rare.

Chu Chen went to swipe his card to pay, and the staff began to pack the bronze ware. Because the things are very expensive, and the bronzes thousands of years ago are very fragile, the staff were careful and careful when packing, and when the work was completed, , this black market auction just ended.

When I went back, I changed to a modified commercial vehicle, otherwise the bronze ban with a length of more than 100 would definitely not fit.

Nothing happened all the way, when they got back to the hotel, there were many people waiting there, one of them showed his ID to Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai, and after getting Qiao Qingtai's approval, he asked people to work together to move the things out of the car, Carefully put it on another car.

Then someone took out another stack of documents for Chu Chen and Qiao Qingtai to sign. Finally, after Qiao Qingtai called someone to confirm, they drove away.

Don't look at just sitting there and moving your mouth today, but Qiao Qingtai is old, and he was very excited during the auction, which made him physically and mentally exhausted, so after a hasty dinner, Qiao Qingtai went back to his room to rest.

Of course, Chu Chen was much better than Qiao Qingtai. He took Zuo Shan to his room together, took out the new pastel porcelain vase that was auctioned in the afternoon, and then took out the other three pieces of porcelain. After arranging, his judgment was indeed confirmed, and the real address of the treasure was found.

For such a result, Zuo Shan was excited and excited. After a while, he thought of a question and asked curiously: "Young Master Chu, how did you know that this bottle was the key clue?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "At the beginning, it was because the painting styles were similar, and we were more sensitive after so many days of research, so we found out that there was something wrong with this bottle. Fortunately, we found it quickly at that time, otherwise we might have missed it." Already!"
