Chapter 633

As soon as Youxi's voice fell, a new auction item was put on the auction stage.

The host began to introduce it and said: "the first thing to be sure about the next item to be auctioned is that its age is at least 500 years ago, that is to say At least it's from the Ming Dynasty. "

As soon as this remark came out, some people immediately showed their spirits. Even Xiao Tian touched his chin and looked at the auction items on the high stage.

If it's porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, if it's good in appearance and texture, it's not necessarily worse than the vase that was first auctioned. If it's calligraphy and painting, it's the famous artists who can keep it in today's calligraphy and painting. There are many famous artists in the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the things of these people, no matter who they are, are valuable.

It's just If it's a Ming Dynasty antique, it can be used as the final auction to promote. For an auction house, it also needs some interesting gimmicks.

After seeing the people at the scene, who had already aroused curiosity, the host continued: "before we start the auction, let's play a game. Let's guess what the auction is. Anyone who guesses correctly can get a beautiful gift. "

Although the people present are not very interested in the so-called exquisite gifts, they are still curious about what it is. Only people can guess what it is.

It seems to create a sense of mystery. The object was put on the exhibition stand, but now it is still covered with red cloth, and does not show its true appearance.

Immediately someone said: "you this red cloth covered, who knows what it is, always need to give some tips."

"This gentleman is right, so I'll give you two tips." The host said, "first of all, it's a bronze."

"Bronze? Is it a red stove, a bronze tripod or something like that? "

"It can't be that simple. If so, you need to guess?"

"Then what is it? A practical object? "

"It's impossible. In the Ming Dynasty, even if metal objects were needed, they were also iron objects. It's impossible to use bronze objects."

"What's that?"

When people speculated, the host said the second tip, saying: "this thing, it's about the size of a person's head."

"It's not a hint at all."

"Look at the red cloth cover. I know it's only this size."

The host had no choice but to smile and said: "no way, because I don't know how to prompt it. "

"Yes, ornaments, statues, ornaments and things like that, right?"

"No, as soon as I heard that it was a bronze ware, the first thing I thought of was a statue, so I won't. "

after a few minutes of discussion, I didn't guess why.

Some people have been impatient, said: "can't guess, also don't want any exquisite gift, quick auction, what is it."

Generally speaking, before an auction is held, the auction house will make public what is to be auctioned. In this way, people who want to buy this item will naturally be ready to compete. There are few such items that have not been published before the auction.

No time to understand, no time to promote, it is very likely that the auction can not come up with a good price.

For the auction house with priority of interests, it will never make such self loss.

After being urged, the host is not good to continue to sell, call people up, will cover in the red cloth away.

"Everybody, watch it. The reason why I can't give more hints is that..." The host said with an embarrassed smile, "I don't know what this thing is."

When the red cloth was lifted, a square bronze block appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The length, width and height of this bronze block are all about 25 cm. Some strange patterns are printed on the surface. It looks like some kind of text that has not been fully understood. What makes people feel strange is that there is a hole with a diameter of 5 cm on each of the six sides of the bronze block. There are six holes in total, which are finally connected to the most central position .

Although the bronze block gives people a very ancient feeling, but looking at this thing, people have not understood for a long time what the function of this thing is.

Ornaments, statues? It's impossible. The statues are all made of exquisite objects. Who would have nothing to do and put an iron knot in his home?

Something useful, but After pondering for a long time, I didn't know what the use of bronze blocks with holes on six sides was.

It looks more like the product of a prank. It's a strange thing made by a craftsman when he is bored. It makes people feel sharp.

"You see? This Well, this bronze block is the thing to be auctioned now. Although we don't know what it is or what it is used for, at least we can be sure that it is from the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, our starting price is Five million. "After the host said the number, many people showed a voice of derision.

"Such a piece of scrap iron? Five million? Your boss, are you right? "

"You're kidding

"Did the emperor play with this thing? Why else would you want five million? "

"I picked up a stone by the side of the road, which was tens of millions of years ago!"

"Fifty thousand can still be bought for fun. Five million is too much."

"Let's do it now. Let's do it quickly. I'm still waiting to see the last painting. Don't waste our time."

The host's face also showed a look of embarrassment. As a professional auctioneer, it will affect his career, but it's the boss's decision, and he has no way.

Seeing that there was really no bid, he had to say, "is there really no bid? Then we'll... "

At this time, a young man's voice came from a box on the second floor.

"Five million."

At the moment of hearing this voice, the auctioneer's face showed the look of being rescued. As long as someone bids, even if he can't afford to pay in the end, it has nothing to do with him, not his auction. It's just, is it that tie Hanhan? Five million to buy such an iron No, copper pimple.

Not only the host, but also other people in the hall on the first floor looked curiously to the box.

Immediately someone said, "well, that box Isn't it Xiao's young master, Xiao Tian's box? "

"Yes, there's no mistake. I heard before I came here that Mr. Xiao is going to live his life soon. Xiao Tian plans to come and buy the vase for Mr. Xiao."

"It was Xiao Tian who made the bid just now? He's an expert in antiques. There's no reason for him to buy an iron knot for five million yuan. "

"I can't hear it. How could that be Xiao Tian just now? Maybe it's the black sheep of the Xiao family."

"In addition to a black sheep, there are black sheep in the Xiao family?"
