Chapter 155 Take it easy
As soon as the red cloth was lifted, there was a gasping sound.
With wide collar and big sleeves, fluttering clothes, holding a bottle in his left hand and holding a bottle in his right hand, the sunlight from the dome shines on the flawless white jade, as if it will soar in the next moment.
If wood carving is exquisite, then this jade carving is spiritual. Even if it is not a statue of Wen Yunxi, the craftsmanship alone is of great collection value.
Su Qiao also saw this jade carving for the first time. After admiring it for a moment, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Wen Yunxi, "You are extremely lucky. You can win over such a craftsman."
His family came from a scholarly family, and he had seen many treasures after winning the first prize. The craftsmanship of the jade carving in front of him was no worse than that of those famous artists.
No wonder she has the confidence to sell at high prices.
Wen Yunxi smiled proudly, "No one else can imitate my luck."
Su Qiao nodded, it was true. The girl had to stay at home because of her leg injury. In addition, her family had some money and did not need to make money by selling carvings. If it were not for being grateful to Wen Yunxi for curing her leg, she would He couldn't carve a statue of a god and give it to Wen Yunxi, and he wouldn't be hired by Wen Yunxi as a workshop manager because of it.
The maid came down the stage with the jade carving and showed it to the people holding the placards one by one. The master of ceremonies stood on the stage and introduced the origin of the jade carving to everyone. Not many people listened. Almost everyone's attention was focused on the jade carving. The three siblings in the family are no exception.
Yan Shizong touched his chin and said, "This jade carving is pretty good."
In addition to craftsmanship, such large and shiny white jade is also rare. As far as he knows, this kind of jade is more abundant in the north. He didn't expect to find it in places like Lanzhou.
Maybe you are right. It is possible that Wen Yunxi had this jade carving leaked out.
Thinking of this, Yan Shizong chuckled. If this was true, Wen Yunxi would be very interesting. He was really curious about how Shilang Wen raised his daughter and raised such a deviant lady.
Yan Qingshu looked at his third brother in confusion. Why was he smiling?He seemed to be in a good mood.
After the jade sculpture circled around the venue, it returned to the stage. The master of ceremonies struck the hammer three times and waited for everyone to calm down.
"The green bamboo medicine god and jade statue, the starting price is 300 million yuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone waved their number.
The host immediately said: "350 million per time, is there any increase in price?"
Then several more people raised their cards, and the price quickly rose to 500 million yuan.
Wen Yunxi chuckled, turned his head and whispered a few words in Lager's ear.
Lager blinked and said, "2000 million."
There was silence in the venue, and even the emcee couldn't help but widen his eyes. He was not surprised by the price, but just as the auction started, this person increased the price significantly, which was really surprising.
However, professional ethics made him react quickly. He raised the hammer in his hand and said, "2000 million per time, is there any increase in price?"
"The god of medicine is in his dream, Mr. Hongxi's blood-soaked work, the only one in the world..."
Before the master of ceremonies finished speaking, Yan Shizong raised his card, "3000 million."
"Brother, what are you doing?!"
Yan Qingshu looked at Yan Shizong in disbelief. Didn't he come to buy a beautiful maid? Why did he take pictures of Wen Yunxi's jade sculpture? Yan Shixi also looked at Yan Shizong in surprise. He had also seen the jade carving up close just now. To be honest, the jade carving was meticulously crafted and made Wen Yunxi more beautiful than her real person. However, no matter how beautiful it was, it was just made of He is an unknown person, and he is not an antique that has been handed down. 3000 million yuan is really not worth it.
Yan Shizong was about to speak when he heard the voice just now: "4000 million."
"..." Yan Shizong raised his number again in the eyes of his brothers and sisters, "5000 million."
There was an uproar in the venue. It was true that most of them came for the jade carvings. The starting price of 300 million was within the affordable range. 2000 million was already beyond expectations. 3000 million even scared off many participants. I didn't expect that they could bid for another 5000. Ten thousand.
Shopkeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Li looked at each other and both let go of the signs in their hands. They could pay the price, but they couldn't afford it. It would be better to donate the money to Qingzhu Hospital than to buy a jade carving back.
"Lao Li, which two people do you think are raising prices like crazy?"
Shopkeeper Li first looked at the right rear and then the left rear, but everyone was wearing cloaks and hats, so there was really no identity information.
"Hard to say."
The news of the auction of jade carvings came out two days ago. In addition to the people in Black Rock City, the tribes facing the sea in the south may also get the news. There are many rich people there, and it is really difficult to guess their identities.
From the rear left, Su Qiao didn't have to guess. He shook his head and chuckled, "It seems like you, a jade sculpture, can't escape the fate of being tortured."
When Wen Yunxi was in Liangu Village, he completely offended the Yan family brothers and sisters, and even pinched the doting seventh young lady of the Yan family. If the jade sculpture fell into their hands, they would have to receive a whip from the young lady at the least.
Upon hearing this, Lager immediately raised his number plate again and shouted: "6000 million."
Su Qiao and Wen Yunxi: "!!!"
Brother, do you have money?Just open your mouth so much? !
This is 6000 million, not 60. The bidding is so fierce, how can the people behind follow? Sure enough, the venue was completely silent, and even the emcee was stunned.
It's not that he has never bid for higher prices, but they are out-of-print treasures. No matter how beautiful this jade carving is, the maker and Wen Yunxi are still alive and well, and new products may be released at any time. 5000 million is already a serious premium, but it can still be called To 6000 million, where did this person get taken advantage of?
The emcee coughed lightly and said loudly: "6000 million per time, is there any increase in price?"
Afraid that Yan Shizong would continue to increase the number, Yan Qingshu and Yan Shixi pressed his hand holding the number plate down tightly. They didn't care about the money, but they would spend money to buy a jade sculpture by Wen Yunxi. It's really annoying.
Especially Yan Qingshu, she came here just to watch Wen Yunxi's jokes. She didn't expect that her brother would be like a victim. She was so angry that she couldn't let him continue.
Yan Shizong looked at his two siblings and let go of the number plate in his hand. The price was indeed too high. Of course he had the money, but it was really unnecessary to buy Wen Yunxi's jade carving at the current price.
Wen Yunxi had been watching Yan Shizong's movements since Lager had raised the price. When he saw him letting go of the number plate, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Wouldn't this jade sculpture return to his hands in the end...
Su Qiao also noticed this scene, looked at Laguer and said happily: "Screw up this auction, be careful she deducts your food."
"Hmph, not only will he deduct food, I will also deduct his wages."
Hongyuelou has been preparing for this auction for several days, just to sell this jade sculpture. Now the price has increased to 5000 million. If Lager destroys it, half of his wages will definitely be deducted as compensation.
Lager shrugged nonchalantly. His salary was quite high, and half the deduction was enough for him to live a good life. It was not painful at all.
The emcee glanced at the people in the audience and continued: "6000 million twice, is there any increase in price?"
He deliberately lengthened his voice and raised the hammer in his hand very high, as if he was about to knock it down at any time.
The audience continued to be quiet, everyone felt that the price would not continue to increase.
