Things are expensive. In the United States, perhaps because of the short history of the founding of the country, people attach great importance to things of historical value. Tianchao antiques have become the darlings of the antique market due to their unique cultural connotation, long history and exquisite workmanship.
However, antiques are closely related to culture. With the arrogance of the people of the United States, in addition to professionals who are interested in studying the culture of other countries, most people only learn about some fur through media reports. As an ideological hostility, the US emperor's media's report on the heavenly dynasty can be imagined. In fact, everyone is almost the same. Freckles laugh at them. So many collectors don't know the value of the collection in their hands.
Selling Tianchao antiques as handicrafts often happens. Andy has also seen a news before. A collector in Los Angeles kept the topaz in his hand. It was confirmed by a collector from Tianchao that this piece was from Neolithic. In the era and 7000-year-old cultural relics, this old beauty knew that she was already a millionaire.
Most of the American emperor's collectors divide their values by their fame and appearance. So in the United States, the most valuable is the ancient porcelain of the dynasty, then bronze, celebrity paintings, and then jewelry and jade. Of course, the rosewood furniture of the Ming and Qing Dynasty is also very valuable. (This is true, as was the case with the antique market in the United States 08 years ago)
Many historical antiques are scattered among American folks because of historical reasons. If you have the ability to identify authenticity, this is definitely a good business. Unfortunately, this requires professional skills, and Andy can only think about it. This is also from Chinatown After the antique shop returned to collect information, he knew, although he did not understand why his soul felt that he only responded to some antiques, and he did not know if there was any regularity.
Antiques such as this kind of charity auction have basically been identified as authentic and have been valued. Of course, the price will not be as high as the auction company, and they all start at $ 100. Early valuation is also expected to participate in the scene. The auctioneer understands its value and uses the right price for charity.
Of course, this kind of charity auction also has shortcomings. The people present are not bad money, but the bids are not fierce. They are collected when they are good. There will not be a scene where you compete for me. It will be rude to fight other people's faces and offend people. On such occasions, the identity of any person is not so offensive.
Therefore, Andy first decided to take the main lot, the red flower brooch of ruby and diamond, and the Qianlong jade seal "Jiuzhou Qing'an (Yan) Treasure". This is a lot he will not give.
As for the promising set of ten pieces of intact oracle bones, a blue and white carambola ornament, a pair of Qing Kangxi blue and white marigold pattern bowls, and a bright bronze bronze beast. But no one knows what will happen during the auction. If Andy wants to make a shameless bid, it will definitely cause some people to be dissatisfied. If they want to fight for wealth, now Andy is just a baby here. Besides, Andy ’s hand There are only more than $ 6 million left in the funds available for use.
"Ah, it's still too poor!" Andy sighed with a frown.
When the ruby and diamond-shaped flower brooch made by Jarparis began to auction, Andy whispered to his mother nearby and said, "Mom, I'll take it for you."
Li Wanqing also has a lot of jewellery as a jewellery designer. This ruby red flower chest is not precious to her, but her son's filial piety pleased her with a loving smile and patted it gently. Andy's hand.
Andy bids, and the bid is not fierce. Everyone sees Andy's continuous bidding and knows that he is bound to get it. For most people, this is doing charity. They will not bite and let go of the bid. Everyone's concerns are the same. Yes, as soon as the valuation price is reached, no one is competing with Andy.
Andy successfully photographed it at the price of US $ 170,000. The guests gave a good applause. The brooch was brought over by the waiter. Andy took the box, opened it for confirmation, and handed it to Li Wanqing in a happy mood.
The auction of Qianlong Jade Seal “The Treasures of Jiuzhou Qing'an (Yan)” was not so smooth. Several Chinese guests participated in the auction, but Andy's ambition must have surprised Oston and Li Wanqing a little. The surrounding guests frequently looked at each other.
600,000 US dollars, caused a low exclaimed voice, many people whispered, after all, just a stone seal, although it is an emperor, but the price is also very high, for a few Chinese people, it is a bit tangled, they do not Lack of this money, but the opponent is a young man, this is a headache, and some friends also understand Andy's identity, and continue to entangle it like that is really rude.
700,000 US dollars, Andy waved his arm excitedly and got his hand. There was applause, Andy stood up with a smile, and folded his hands in the direction of several Chinese people and worshiped in the air.
The eyes of several Chinese people were bright, knowing that Andy really understood the heavenly culture, and responded with a goodwill and applauded, but was a little surprised at his age.
Taking the box excitedly, he took out the jade seal with a slight tremor. "His ~~~ It really reacted, so grand ..." Andyto was in his hand, stroking the jade gently, Li Wanqing was also a little excited, curiously stretched out Take a look and look at it. Although she is ABC mixed, but the meaning of the Yuxi representative is still very clear.
Satisfied, the jade seal that Andy passed back from Oston carefully put it into the box, depressed the excitement, and continued to watch other people bid, except for the few heavenly antiques that were promising, Andy made other auctions. Not much interest, many celebrities and calligraphy paintings have achieved good prices.
The auction of Mingtong's gold-bronze beast did not go well, and it seemed that he had no interest in this paperweight. Andy tried to ask for a price, but he got it for $ 20,000.
However, the pair of Kangxi blue and white longevity bowls caused several people to bid, and Andy did not intervene.
Qing. White and White Carambola ornaments appeared, and the price just cried for $ 30,000, and no one bid. Andy saw a chance, and got it for $ 35,000.
Andy's bidding behavior has attracted some people's attention. This unscrupulous leak detection behavior is a bit excessive. After all, everyone understands that the value of antiques appearing in auctions here is still very great, only because of the lack of excessive bidding.
Auston also seemed to feel a bit rude in his son's behavior, and whispered ugly: "Pay attention to your behavior, don't go overboard!"
Andy scratched his nose, he knew very well that he did something a little bit offensive, but because of his young age, he could use his ignorance to fool it. Now that he has been scolded, he has broken the idea of taking advantage.
Ten pieces of Oracle bones were photographed by madman Larry Ellison for $ 1.5 million. Andy looked enviously at this Larry called the "jerk" who took the waiter and delivered it to him. box.
"Mah, what's the use of this idiot to buy it back? Is it because his company is called Oracle? It's shameless to snap up Oracle's name!" Andy cursed a little jealously.
To be honest, it was a bit boring to watch other people bidding, and the little food eaten before Andy's appetite now was useless at all, and the hunger made him start to feel a little irritable.
Everyone around him looked like a well-dressed man. In fact, he couldn't bear the hunger and could not stand it anymore. They were all dead support. Sure enough, they were all decent people in "high society." Andy was not malicious.
The time came to ten o'clock at night and the charity auction was finally over. Andy, who had swiped the card early in the morning, received the tax-exempt receipts, and some couldn't wait to take Li Wanqing's arm out.
"Hungry me, now I can eat a cow!" Andy murmured with his mother.
Li Wanqing just hid her mouth and laughed. She understood her son's grievances very much. She didn't like this kind of dinner. She was absolutely hungry and tired. After returning home, she could feel the stiffness of her face muscles. It was not easy to keep smiling.
"You, bear with me, find a restaurant to fill your belly in a while! However, you are not good tonight, the antiques made by continuous bidding, the food is a bit ugly, making others joke!" Li Wanqing's less dissatisfied lesson said .
"Huh!" Aston snorted grimly at the side.
"Hey, don't I like Tianchao culture, let's say it's charity." Andy smirked and rogue.
"You ah ~~~ Really a small child. Be careful in the future, this kind of thing can't have a second time, it will affect your reputation, after all, no one is a fool." Li Wanqing persuaded impatiently.
"I know! It's troublesome, this kind of banquet will be less attended in the future!" Andy pouted.
"Children's words! This is New York, family and tradition are the blood here, you are an adult, and you will have to attend such dinners separately in the future. Remember that some children of the family and their names are compulsory courses, and you must not be rude. Things. "Li Wanqing was a little angry with Andy's disdain, and some principles could not be compromised.
"It's really troublesome. It's still comfortable in Los Angeles." Andy had a headache and thought a little irritably.
"Hmm! There are only upstarts in Los Angeles, no nobles." Allston hummed with pride.
"Ha ~~~" Andy pouted, refuted to comment, and was very disdainful of his father's sarcasm. The noblemen from the United States, as if the Mayflower were all those who could not mix in the British Empire It's so thick.
Sitting in the car, Andy yelled loudly to find a restaurant to eat, and Auston looked at his son who was playing with Li Wanqing angrily, and picked up the phone to prepare a place for the familiar restaurant.
Just then, Andy's cell phone rang. Picking up the phone, she frowned, and muttered quietly, "Why is she?"
He answered the phone and hung up without saying a few words. Andy reluctantly said to his parents: "It's Paris. She has already set a meal at Waldorf. After eating, I have a party and let me pass."
