My girlfriend is from 1949

After evaluation, the experts nearby immediately gave a suitable maximum price.

As long as it's within this price range, it won't be expensive to buy.

Although the objects are placed on the display table in front, you can only make out a general idea from a distance.

I'm about 60% sure it's genuine.

However, it's uncertain now, but that's okay.

After taking the photo, you can carefully examine it before making payment.

Only allowing the person who took the photo to authenticate it is also to save time.

Otherwise, if everyone comes to come and examine each item one by one, how much time will that waste?

Only those with absolute confidence in something dare to do this.

Li Yuanqing is a person who believes in fate, or rather, is somewhat superstitious and believes in omens.

This is my first time attending an auction, and I'm really hoping to make a great start.

They managed to negotiate the price down to the breaking point before finally securing it!

Although I bought it, given the market conditions in recent years, I can forget about any appreciation in value.

Therefore, although the price was a bit high, the first item Li Yuanqing bought was worth its value.

And they even got off to a great start!

Immediately afterwards, several more items were sold.

There are already more than 5 items worth hundreds of millions!

Li Yuanqing was stunned and finally believed that the rumors were true.

These items are even more impressive than those from some of the top auction houses in China!

As each item was sold, the atmosphere grew increasingly intense.

Especially when Feng Chaoyang brought out a bronze wine vessel from the Zhou Dynasty, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

This thing is real torture!

According to the law, anyone who resells cultural relics that are prohibited from being traded by the state for profit, and whose circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to imprisonment for up to five years.

In particularly serious cases, the penalty is 5–10 years imprisonment.

Moreover, even if it is said to be inherited from ancestors, it does not mean it is legal!

:

For it to be legal, there must be proof such as a notarized document proving legal inheritance or acceptance of a gift.

Alternatively, it can be purchased from a certified antique shop with an invoice.

Bidding is conducted through licensed cultural relic auction companies, and a confirmation of transaction is required.

Private transfers are prohibited from being resold for profit!

That item on the display table is a counterfeit product, clearly illegal!

If I buy it and keep it as a collectible, that's fine.

But selling them will be difficult.

Of course, transactions can also be conducted privately among collectors.

However, the price will definitely be significantly reduced.

Moreover, there were nearly thirty people attending the meeting, making it a crowded and confusing place.

What happened tonight will definitely spread throughout the industry.

Therefore, Feng Chaoyang's dealings in Western Zhou bronzes could not be kept secret.

If someone who is jealous reports you to the relevant authorities, you will definitely be arrested.

Not only were Li Yuanqing's eyes wide open, but even the appraiser next to him was clutching his already thinning hair.

He muttered to himself, "This is insane~ insane~ This is going to fly!"

This is a genuine Western Zhou bronze artifact, not from last week!

Western Zhou bronzes with no proof whatsoever are being put up for auction in public. What is this if not outrageous?

Under normal circumstances, trading this kind of thing would definitely be illegal.

Because there are explicit regulations, being reported is a serious matter!

Li Yuanqing had also come into contact with some middlemen in his spare time.

These people had a variety of items, including those from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

There are also those from the Eastern Han and Western Zhou dynasties.

Moreover, they are all quite well-known in the industry.

It is said that even some very wealthy businessmen have close ties with them.

However, these people were also arrested for selling prohibited items without any permits.

:

Whether the wealthy individuals involved in those transactions were implicated remains unknown.

However, even if it gets exposed, it won't be a big problem.

But smoothing things over is a troublesome matter, isn't it?

Therefore, Li Yuanqing was always very cautious and usually avoided touching bronzes.

Besides not wanting to cause trouble, it's also because if it's truly from the Zhou Dynasty, the price will be extremely high.

If you're only half-baked, you might easily get scammed.

If I were to spend tens of millions to buy a fake product, wouldn't that be incredibly painful!

Therefore, seeing them openly claiming to be bronze artifacts from the Zhou Dynasty is audacious and presumptuous.

At least tone it down a bit, or at least hint at it!

Linlin said it like that, isn't she afraid of getting into trouble?

After all, some things are usually not a big problem as long as they are not brought into the open.

Which collector doesn't have a few illegal items in their collection?

It's just that their status and position are different, so their methods of operation are different.

As for the person who organized this scheme, whether they were recklessly bold or had enough confidence, remains unknown.

Chen Huai'an and Zhao Zhiyuan sat in the back, just watching with smiles.

They had no concerns whatsoever about selling Western Zhou wine vessels without any proof.

Whether this is illegal or not, and how to define it.

Strictly speaking, this doesn't even come from the land beneath our feet.

There are still loopholes that can be exploited.

Most importantly, it's about the source and the flow of funds.

Chen Huai'an used all the proceeds from selling these antiques to purchase weapons and equipment.

In addition to boosting national GDP through basic necessities like food, clothing, housing, and transportation, it also cleared out excess inventory.

It has increased employment opportunities and made society more stable.

Feng Chaoyang's "Treasure Pavilion" had been auctioning for half a year and had already been registered.

:

Of course, it's also possible that sharing the same bloodline allows one to understand oneself better.

The higher-ups also know that when Chinese people get poor, they'll sell anything!

Selling antiques now is nothing; later, when they got really tough, they even dared to sell giant mushrooms.

So selling some antiques is nothing compared to other things.

The atmosphere at the auction was also very intense.

Many of these were regular customers who had obviously seen similar situations before.

The following items were the highlight, which broadened Li Yuanqing's horizons.

I've been to many major auction houses, but I've never seen anything this good.

Tonight's auction alone has a total value exceeding 5 million.

This was the first time he had a completely new understanding of privately organized gatherings.

After all, he had participated in similar situations before.

That's not how arrogant they are!

After all the items had been auctioned, Feng Chaoyang did not announce the end of the auction.

Instead, he revealed a mysterious smile.

"Next, we're giving away special offers to our loyal customers!"

The following items are offered in three lots.

One item per person, and the winner cannot continue bidding!

The restrictive rules immediately won everyone's favor.

"What's with all these rules?"

"It's even divided into several portions, which makes me feel a bit better."

"Old Feng, hurry up and bring it out so everyone can take a look!"

"Yes, yes, let's see what it is!"

"Old Feng, stop keeping me in suspense!"

"..."

Suddenly, a urging voice came from below.

:

They were all very positive about the so-called "welfare" benefits.

After all, the people who can attend the auction are all big bosses with status and influence.

They wouldn't even look at ordinary things.

What remains until the end and is still called a "benefit" must be something extraordinary.

The mysterious rule immediately aroused everyone's good intentions.

Feng Chaoyang grinned, revealing a meaningful smile.

He clapped his hands.

A waiter named Xiao Liu came up carrying a wooden tray.

On the tray were three small wooden boxes.

It's exquisitely crafted; a fine example of modern craftsmanship.

It can be used to store items and increase the value of the items inside.

Feng Chaoyang opened the three boxes himself, revealing their contents.

He said with a smile, "These are genuine products from Northeast China. They're great for making medicinal liquor. There are only three portions in total."

Instantly, everyone's eyes lit up.

Li Yuanqing's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

He muttered to himself, "They dare to sell even this kind of stuff? These three boxes will cost at least five years!"

However, since even Western Zhou bronzes have been sold, this thing doesn't seem to matter much anymore.

This is truly a benefit for our loyal customers!

Li Yuanqing clenched his fists on his lap, determined to take it down.

He is 53 years old this year and feels powerless every day.

How could we miss out on something so highly nutritious?

As a man, I definitely have to buy it to feel proud!

As the auction began, Li Yuanqing raised his hand without hesitation and offered: "200 million!"

It's been cut by over a thousand words, so it should pass the review...
