C124

As a "new man" in this auction, Lin Xi has been observing his words and feelings, and has a certain understanding of everyone through observation, so as not to be completely passive in the next auction.

At that time, Lin Xi saw Mr. bianmu with a smile and said something to the young two devils. During the conversation, the two Devils' looks gradually eased, completely without the previous anger. Moreover, bianmu also nodded to the fat man with great grace, as if to apologize for his rude translation.

The cigar smoker, Yu pangzi, seems to be aware of Mr. bianmu's kindness. He grins up and looks back with a provocative look, but it's not so polite. Then he pinches the enchanting girl, as if it were a demonstration.

From time to time, on the display platform in the center of the circular round table, there was a sudden mechanical vibration. With the vibration, the previous display platform slowly sank until it disappeared, and then there was a slight rotation sound. After more than ten seconds, the display platform slowly rose again.

However, this time, there is an exquisite object on the display platform, which is still a big one.

At the moment when the display platform and the object appeared together, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and they all focused on the object, as if there were flowers growing on it. Only the fat man was the same as before, and he didn't see the objects on the display platform and the display platform, and he didn't know whether he was not interested in the object or other reasons.

In fact, the object on the display platform actually grew "flowers".

To be exact, it should be a pair of objects, a pair of ivory carvings. The whole body is snow-white and lustrous. With the hollowed out carving technology, there is a sitting and lying picture of eighteen Arhats carved on the two ivory. Separately, there are nine on each ivory, and together, there are exactly eighteen.

The eighteen seated and reclining Arhats are in different shapes, either sitting or lying, or standing or standing. Some of them are looking down for deep thought, some are looking up to the sky for insight, others are exerting supernatural powers, or they are compassionate. They really show the hollowed out carving technology incisively and vividly.

And this, is not grow flowers!

The reason why we are sure that the ivory craft is purely manual carving rather than mechanical crafts is that almost all of us here have done a lot of research on antiques. How can a mere handicraft attract their attention? What's more, it's impossible for the auction to come up with a mechanical handicraft to fool people. What's more, they still understand people, otherwise they won't be smashed at that time I've got my own sign.

Just as people were intoxicated with the ivory carvings, an old and gentle voice sounded in everyone's ears. I don't know when, an old man in white robe suddenly appeared in the hall. The old man was about sixty years old, with silver hair, long beard and full of spirit.

But he left Lin Xi the deepest impression, because his dress is really different, it is difficult to let people not remember him deeply.

I saw the old man wearing a long shirt and holding a folding fan in his hand. He walked slowly from the gate with elegant demeanor. He opened the folding fan and gently swayed it until he came to the stage. He closed the folding fan with a slap, just like the sour scholar in the old society in the TV series, which had a literati atmosphere.

The old man clasped his hands, bowed around the round table, and said with a smile, "ha ha, I've kept you waiting for a long time. I'm really sorry, so let's go straight to the theme. Look at this pair of ivory carvings. You are all discerning people. We are still the old rule. We don't set a reserve price. Please bid by yourself. If no one bid, it will be a auction. Let's start now.

then the old rule is clear in a few words, which is the process of the auction It doesn't seem to be the first time to host such an auction, but it seems that people are not in a hurry to bid. On the contrary, they are more interested in the elderly than the ivory. This interest is a kind of deep trust and respect, and also a kind of direct recognition.

"It turns out that today's host is Mr. Zhou. It seems that today's objects don't matter. We can rest assured." The speaker is a woman in sunglasses, but I can hear that his words are full of respect. It's a world of difference when he talks to Lin Xi. It can also be seen from here that the old man in white robes and long clothes in front of him has an unusual status in the auction house.

After hearing the words of the sunglasses woman, Mr. Zhou gave a reserved smile, bowed around again, and said, "thank you for looking up to me. I'm here to thank you again."

However, Yu pangzi didn't seem to buy Zhou's face. He cried out: "I said, Mr. Zhou, are your tusks real or fake? Don't be fooled. I'm too old to understand. Now the country has such strict control on ivory products, where do you get these things? If we buy them back, we'll be called by someone. What's the loss There's nothing to do with money, but it's hard to find when you lose face. "

Mr. Zhou was not angry at the fat man's shouting. He was still friendly, as if he had expected that he would ask, so he explained calmly: "boss Yu, where are you? All your bosses are old-fashioned parents. Even if you cheat a beggar, you can't cheat you. It's not a job breaker. As for the origin of this pair of ivory, I'm sorry I can't tell you. But since we dare to auction it, we naturally have our channels. It must be something that we can see clearly. Even the relevant departments have no right to inquire. I'm satisfied with the boss when I say that? "Listening to Zhou's explanation, Lin Xi suddenly remembered that the reason why the auction was private was that there were too few people who could participate in the auction, and some of the items could not appear in front of the public, and the invitees of the auction deliberately did not let the world know, which led to the emergence of the private auction.

Although some auction objects can't be seen at the auction, they appear at the auction after being washed white in a special way, none of them are precious or legal.

It's just that once some of the objects in it see the light, it will more or less lead to some unnecessary trouble. No matter who wants to see such a situation.

"Since you old man Zhou said that, I'm old enough to believe that you are. Besides, it's money. This money is not enough for me to pull a truck of mines. Anyway, I've given you a lot of money over the years. As for today's point, old man Zhou, I want 500000 yuan for this pair of ivory!"
