What are these people doing?

When several people got closer, they realized that they were all looking at the silver soup basin, which was Lot 14.

Yuan Nier never expected that so many people were looking at her baby.

"This is just a silver basin, what's so good about it?" Mrs. Guo, who had looked at the Buddha's head before, looked puzzled. It seemed like she didn't know anything about antiques.

"This is no ordinary silver basin. Look at the pattern. This is medieval French craftsmanship.

The soup basin is completely handmade, and the person who made the silver soup basin is a famous artist. Should there be a name on the soup basin? "Zhou Sheng picked up the soup basin and looked at it bit by bit.

Looking at the questions and answers between the two people, everyone already understood their relationship. Mrs. Guo was a rich lady, while Zhou Sheng was the appraiser who was invited to the Palm Eye.

"See what?"

"You can see, this thing is incredible. This is the work of Jean Sony. Do you know who Jean Sony is? He was the most famous craftsman in France in the Middle Ages. He specialized in making utensils for the royal family.

If I guessed correctly, this soup basin should have been used by the king. The king at that time...oh, it was Louis XIV, so this is the silver soup basin used by King Louis. Zhou Sheng said with certainty.

Hearing this, Yuan Ni admired Zhou Sheng's eyesight. Even Qin Hongfei couldn't figure out the origin of the silver soup basin, but Zhou Sheng was very knowledgeable.

"Oh, this is the tableware used by foreign emperors? Is it worth collecting?" Mrs. Guo suddenly became interested.

This woman was dressed elegantly, and she had a gleaming gold watch on her hand. It should be a limited edition of a top-notch luxury watch, and you couldn't buy it even if you had money.

It seems that Mrs. Guo is very powerful and is the kind of person who has achieved financial freedom and can buy whatever she wants.

Zhou Sheng looked at the people watching carefully and said, "Mrs. Guo, let's talk next to you."

The two of them ran to the corner and muttered.

After Zhou Sheng and Mrs. Guo left, several more people picked up the silver soup basin and started studying it.

Judging from the popularity at the scene, there were two things that attracted attention. One was the Song Dynasty military talisman promoted by Mustache, the copper fish talisman.

The other one is the precious silver soup basin in Yuan Ni’s name.

What kind of things can become the hot spot of auction?

At this moment, someone rang the gong, and the female manager said enthusiastically, "Is everyone optimistic? The auction is about to begin. Please take a seat."

There were quite a few guests at the scene, dozens of them. Zhou Sheng and Mrs. Guo were sitting in the front and middle seats.

First of all, Lot 1 is auctioned, which is the bluestone Buddha head. This Buddha head is beautifully carved. Judging from the age, it should be an object from before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it is a real antique.

The starting price of the Buddha head is not high, only [-] Hong Kong dollars. Two or three people followed the quotation, and their attitude was not enthusiastic.

"You can't keep this thing at home. If you buy it, you must be planning to donate it to charity. If it is expensive, it will be meaningless." Qin Hongfei said in a low voice.

Yuan Ni nodded. When the price of the Buddha head reached [-] Hong Kong dollars, there was only one buyer left.

Yuan Nier took advantage of the situation and finally bought the bluestone Buddha head for 5 yuan.

Yuanni did not do this for profit. If possible, she would like to take the Buddha head home.

The next auction items were unremarkable. When it was the turn of the red teapot with white porcelain glaze, it sold for an unimaginable high price, HK$25.

"It was bought by the nouveau riche to decorate their appearance." Qin Hongfei sneered disdainfully.

Treating guests with an antique teapot seems like the behavior of the nouveau riche.

The mustache's publicity had an effect, and there was a small climax when the Song Dynasty military symbols were auctioned.

The starting price of the soldier talisman is HK$20, and at least seven or eight people have joined the bidding.

But Mrs. Guo never raised her sign, and Yuanni secretly guessed that this rich lady probably wanted to buy her silver soup basin.

"Aren't you interested in military talismans?" Qin Hongfei asked in a low voice.

"Didn't you also raise your sign?" Yuan Ni asked back.

According to Yuanni's idea, since it is a military victory, it must be unique and irreplaceable. How can such a thing appear in pairs?

She had personally authenticated the military talisman that Gu Chao brought back, and it was genuine.

Since that piece is authentic, the fish charm appearing in the club at this moment must be a replica.

Seeing that the price of fake fish charms has soared to 40 Hong Kong dollars, Yuanni would not join in the fun.

Qin Hongfei and Yuan Ni looked at each other and smiled, knowing that the other party had figured out the truth.

The bidding was in full swing, and the female manager couldn't even close her mouth with laughter. The auction method of the lot was guaranteed bidding. As long as there was a premium on the basis of the guaranteed price, she would get a commission.

However, perhaps due to the special nature of the soldier talisman, the price stopped when the price reached 58.

"58 once, 58 twice..." After three times, the auctioneer dropped the hammer and announced regretfully, "The fish charm is a guaranteed bid. The highest price did not reach the guaranteed price, so the auction is invalid."

The female manager's smile immediately froze on her face.

The mustache sitting in the corner couldn't stop laughing. He was the owner of the fish charm. He had put on a great show just now. He thought he could lock in two buyers. Unexpectedly, these people were stingy and didn't even give him the guaranteed price. Exceed.

Yuan Ni and Qin Feihong were relieved. After all, this thing was fake and it was a good thing that it couldn't be sold.

Soon it was the turn of Lot 11, a string of red coral court beads. This string of court beads is composed entirely of East beads. The top bead and back bead are all red coral. They are crystal clear. The starting price is HKD [-].

What Yuan Ni didn't expect was that there were six or seven people bidding for the beads.

This string of beads belongs to an ordinary minister. Although the material is relatively good, it has no origin.

In the end, the Chaozhu was sold for HK$35 and was photographed by Mrs. Guo.

"Did you see the watch on her wrist? It is said to be worth 120 million." Asan was extremely envious.

"Third brother, do you know who this woman is?"

Ah San gestured with a name. This person was also a famous person in Xiangjiang.

No wonder, if she were this man's wife, buying an antique beads would be just like buying a tie for an ordinary person, it would be just a casual thing.

When I met Mrs. Guo at the club, I really met a noble person. The hats and snuff bottles that were auctioned next were all bought by Mrs. Guo.

Maozheng is the stone inlaid in the center of the melon-skin hat from the Qing Dynasty. The piece Yuan Ni sold was a top-quality jadeite and sold for HK$20.

The snuff bottle used internal painting techniques and looks inconspicuous on the outside. In fact, there is a lot of things inside the bottle. It sold for 38 Hong Kong dollars.

Yuan Ni was very satisfied with the auction prices of the three lots. With this money, plus the existing funds, she could make up 200 million and join Qin Hongfei in investing.

However, the sale of the last item, King Louis' silver soup basin, did not go smoothly.

Yuan Ni made an appraisal based on the current market and set a minimum price of HK$200 million for the silver soup basin. Unexpectedly, during the on-site bidding, Mrs. Guo, the highest bidder, only gave a price of HK$65.

Yuan Ni was stunned at first, but then she understood that Mrs. Guo came here with the mentality of picking up bargains. She was not sure about antiques, so no matter what she bought, she didn't want to pay too high a price.

Because of this mentality, she spent a lot of money when buying small items. Instead, she missed the truly valuable silver soup basin.

Yuan Ni didn't feel any regret. The value of the silver soup basin would increase sooner or later. Anyway, she was not in a hurry to use the money. At worst, she could just take it home.

After she settled the auction money, she took the Buddha head and silver soup basin and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, she was stopped at the door.

The person who stopped Yuan Ni was Xiao Hu, the owner of the fish charm. He smiled sincerely and said, "I didn't expect that the lady is the owner of the soup basin. I want to talk to you..."
