Chapter 0090 – Prairie Black Market (V)

Liu Chuan guessed right, Zhuang Rui is trying to sell down to give Qin Xuan Bing, through the night before that kiss, Zhuang Rui again is a root of wood, but also feel Qin Xuan Bing’s affection, see such a beautiful shawl, also moved to buy down to give Qin Xuan Bing as a gift of the heart.

“Twenty thousand ……”

Boss Ma quickly shouted out the price, in his opinion, this kid who refused to sell the dog, is deliberately lies against himself, and the other people in the tent, obviously have little interest in this shawl, are watching from the wall.

“Boss Ma bid twenty thousand dollars, Boss Liu’s friend over here, is there any more interest?”

Although this shawl is only a few tens of thousands of dollars of small objects, but for the first item of the auction, Lang Jie is still very important, how to say is also a good start ah! So at the moment, he was shouting vigorously, hoping that Zhuang Rui would bid again.

“Brother Zhuang, you shouldn’t buy this item, raising the price like this will only fuel the culture of those people who hunt these Tibetan antelopes.”

Zhou Rui cupped Zhuang Rui with his arm and whispered in his ear.

At this time the famous Coco Sicily movie has not yet come out, the people of China do not know much about the Tibetan antelope, Zhuang Rui also thought that the Tibetan antelope is a general animal, and the difference between cattle and sheep is not big, heard Zhou Rui’s words, a little curious to ask: “Brother Zhou, the Tibetan antelope is very little? How come that Long Jie just now, also said that people who hunt Tibetan antelope don’t have a good reputation?”

“Nonsense, in 1990, the number of Tibetan antelope was about one million, in 1995, it dropped to 75,000, I’m afraid that by now, there are not even 70,000, do you know that this shawl, at least you need to hunt three adult Tibetan antelopes, some people call this shawl as a shroud, you drape yourself in this thing, can you be comfortable in your heart? ”

Zhou Rui glared at Zhuang Rui, only then opened his mouth to explain to him the current situation of the Tibetan antelope, heard the word “shroud” three words, Zhuang Rui body hit a cold war, and then look at the shawl, the mind is thinking of the Tibetan antelope bloody corpse, the shawl is no longer any interest.

Looked at the Zhuang Rui and people whispered after the meeting, did not continue to raise the price, Long Jie some disappointment, but this thing is just an appetizer, he spends a lot of work to organize the black market, naturally not for the sale of the shawl, and then the price of 20,000 yuan, declared a deal.

To say, this fat man also took advantage of a lot of cheap, such a Shatush shawl, in Europe, at least can sell tens of thousands of dollars in price, 20,000 yuan and tens of thousands of dollars, the gap is so big, this is also one of the reasons why the black market auctions are banned.

That fat man although shot this shawl, the face is not very happy, originally held back to compete with Zhuang Rui, did not expect Zhuang Rui shouted a price after, actually lay down, let him have a kind of fist swung out, but hit the feeling in the air.

“I say Long Jie, we didn’t come here to look at these disgusting things, let’s have something real!”

Old man Xie looked like he also knew the origin of that shawl, looking at the fat boss with contempt in his eyes, spoke out and said to Long Jie.

“Good, the following object, I believe everyone will like it.”

Long Jie also did not angry, to the side of the young man signaled, that person quickly walked to the tent was isolated out of the place, this time out of the thing, but not on the plate, really also can not put, because this is a through the height of about 70 centimeters, the seat height of 20 centimeters or so of the bronze.

The young man held this bronze in his arms, and after walking around the crowd, placed it on the table in the center of the tent.

“I believe this is not unfamiliar to everyone! This is a Han Dynasty money tree, like this one that is so well preserved, I’m afraid that it’s not even in some big museums, the reserve price is 180,000 RMB, if you are interested, you can come up and take a look.”

Long Jie talk very skillful, you have the mind to buy, and then come up to view, otherwise, you still sit down and drink tea! Long Jie’s black market, the reason why the reputation, not in the number of people who participate in his black market, but in the black market out of his objects, most of them are some of the best products, of course, fakes and counterfeits naturally, then the buyer can only admit that they are not enough eyesight.

“Money tree? Hey, this name has a good omen.”

The fat man stood up from the chair with great difficulty, and those carrot hands were on the breasts of the demonic female next to him, and viciously pinched them, before taking a step and three wobbly steps towards the table where the money tree was placed.

“The whole a stick ……”

Sitting not far from Zhuang Rui’s old man Xie, his mouth lightly cursed, also got up and went forward, but his hand is holding a magnifying glass, there is a small file that looks like the size of a fingernail cutter.

“Zhuang Rui, what is a money tree?”

Liu Chuan touched Zhuang Rui and asked in a low voice.

“Nonsense, a money tree is a money tree! Didn’t you hear the story of the money tree when you were a kid?”

Zhuang Rui’s reply, but let Liu Chuan almost angry crooked nose, this is nonsense it, buddy asked the origin of this money tree.

However, there is no use for him to ask again, because just to avoid Liu Chuan and move out of the chair of the two, is also talking about the money tree, the age of about more than forty years old middle-aged man, is to the young man with him, explaining the origins of the money tree, but let Liu Chuan and is also unknown Zhuang Rui, listened to a true.

“Money tree since ancient times, also known as the money tree, the god tree, the Eastern Han Dynasty in the southwest region is widely spread, is the Chinese myths and legends in the god tree modeling art the most wonderful, the most outstanding form of expression. This kind of money tree, only in Sichuan and Hubei and other places have been unearthed, this object is mainly as the then powerful officials and nobles, tribute in the home shrine on the precious decorations, or as a powerful and noble house accompanied by the burial of the special items, is the right, status, wealth, auspicious symbols, if Lang Jie this object is true words, that do not know in Sichuan that place, which the princes and lords of the tomb has been stolen by the people again. ”

That middle-aged man speaks extremely organized, not only will the origin of the money tree to speak clearly, and even for this bronze made in front of the money tree’s provenance, but also gives a speculation, but also a little like a university teacher in the students to explain the general.

“Bullshit, but say how much money is worth ah!” Liu Chuan, the coarse goods, muttered in dissatisfaction after listening.

After the middle-aged man said, also got up and went up to check out, even the Japanese, also holding a magnifying glass around the past, Zhuang Rui looked around, as if the three of them in this small group, and the woman wearing sunglasses, did not show interest in this money tree.

These people in addition to the fat man, pretending to circle around the money tree, then returned to the chair, the other several people but look very carefully, from the leaves and branches of the tree to the ground, almost holding a magnifying glass in an inch view, Xie old man is after Long Jie’s consent, with a file respectively in the money tree’s copper branches and ceramic base, scrape down a little powder, put in the mouth to taste, look at Zhuang Rui a few people The people looked at Zhuang Rui and a few others with chills.

Due to the small number of people, and are old customers, Long Jie also let them go to appraisal, there is no limit to the time, because he for the authenticity of this bronze money tree, has long made the identification.

Long Jie collected up the price of fifteen thousand dollars, and at that time in order to carry convenient, the seller to him, are dismantled pieces, or he personally put together, determined to be the Han Dynasty bronzes undoubtedly.

So this object, even if the people present, only one person to open the price, as long as eighteen hundred thousand can be sold, he is also a steady profit, this time the black market, not in vain.

They appraise the money tree time is a bit long, and now it is already more than 12 noon, Lang Jie let the people now barbecue good whole sheep, beef, cold yak tongue, buns, and sweet tea, milk tea, yogurt and other beverages, put on a food cart, pushed into the tent, for the inside of the various people to choose, in addition to providing a few bottles of boiled wine.

Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan this will be hungry, at the moment do not care so much, even wine with food, eat a happy, but it is Zhou Rui did not move the food, but the crushed cookies brought down from the car, broken into pieces and put into the mouth, drink the water is also brought by themselves.

Not only Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan were eating, that fat man was also eating with his mouth full of oil, but the wine was not drunk, only the sunglasses woman and her companion, also ate what they brought, for the food provided by the black market side, did not move at all.

Wait until the following these people are almost all full of food and drink, went up to identify the few, only to walk back, the face and just went up when the same, can not see a trace of change to.

Liu Chuan surveyed half a day, also did not from the face of those few people, to see the truth or falsehood of this money tree, can not help but resentfully cursed: “A group of old foxes.”

“Everyone, are you guys going to eat something first to cushion your stomachs, or are we going to start now?”

After Long Jie waited for a few people to sit back in their chairs, he opened his mouth and asked.

“You can’t starve with one less meal, let’s start!”

Old man Xie glanced at the fat boss whose mouth was full of grease and replied without any good humor.

“Good, then let’s start, I believe everyone has seen it clearly, what I, Lang Jie, take out of my hand, are absolutely all fine products, this Han Dynasty Bronze Money Tree, eighteen hundred thousand base price, please bid.”

Anyway, this is not an auction house, Long Jie also did not forget to encourage the appraisal did not go up Zhuang Rui and other people, but after he finished, the tent actually became silent, no one shouted.

Long Jie is not in a hurry, the old God waiting there, he knows, in 1993, when the foreign auction a Han Dynasty bronze money tree, is the price of 2.5 million U.S. dollars in the transaction, although the bronze tree is a large piece, there are more than 2 meters high, but their own bronze tree if placed in a formal auction house, the final price of the auction, will never be less than three million yuan, their own starting price is only eighteen million, he did not believe that in a few old people present at the auction house, but he did not believe in the auction house. He did not believe that the presence in a few old players do not move.

“Eighteen hundred thousand ……”

Finally someone opened his mouth, but just told the origin of this money tree middle-aged man.

“Two hundred thousand ……” Someone picked the head, did not wait for Lang Jie speech drumming, Xie old man also opened the price.

“Two hundred and fifty thousand ……”

“Two hundred and eighty thousand ……”

“Three hundred thousand ……” The price is flying up, Mr. Jiang actually also opened his mouth to offer, but the people in the tent can figure out that he must have gotten the authorization from that Japanese, after all, he didn’t even go up to check just now.

The most surprising thing is that the first one to run up, Boss Ma, sat steadily in his chair, without any intention of opening his mouth.
