The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer
Chapter 87: Thief
Sotheby's, a world-renowned auction house, mainly auctions artworks and cultural relics. The first auction was held in 1744. After more than 200 years of development, Sotheby's has become a world-renowned brand.
After a period of preparation, on April 18th, Sotheby’s Oriental Art auction was officially held.
The auction will start at 10 am and will last all day. At 9:55, most of the people at the auction venue were already there.
At this time, a man and two women walked through the gate of the venue, which quickly attracted the attention of many people in the venue.
The man is an Oriental, about 20 years old, handsome and tall, but although a suit is a famous brand but not a luxury item, it looks a bit low-key.
The two women, one tall and one short, are Westerners, both dressed as professional women, and their looks are amazingly beautiful!
What’s even stranger is that the tall woman is still holding the man’s hand, not a courteous virtual support, but a really strong support.
The young man seemed to be in a bad spirit, but from the point of view of his size, he did not look like a patient.
Fortunately, there are a lot of **** old men here, but their attention is almost attracted by the upcoming auction, and after two glances at the strange trio, they no longer pay attention.
The venue was not crowded, almost one-third of the seats were empty.
This is normal, auctions are not a big sale in supermarkets, and not many rich people like to huddle together at auctions.
Zhang Nan, Nicole Lopez and Jenny Hathaway walked into the auction venue. One invitation letter can enter two people, but one more is not a problem.
Many wealthy people participate in the auction as agents, but there are also people who like to follow several staff members in person, not to mention that Zhang Nan will still be a patient.
Really a patient: Physical weakness!
After the hysterical excitement and venting, even a young man who is as strong as a cow will be so weak that he can't walk smoothly!
In the parking lot the day before yesterday, Zhang Nan was pulled to a private hospital by an ambulance: Nicole was tired and worried.
Zhang Nan feels that his state is not very good. He has heard of this situation several times: after extreme anger and extreme excitement, this situation sometimes occurs.
is the excessive consumption of spirit, energy and spirit, which needs to be supplemented slowly.
However, there are not many western medicine methods, so he needs to be hospitalized.
Forget it, it's still a flash in this state-private hospitals can't force them to keep people, so Zhang Nan was sent back to the hotel in an ambulance.
Nicole, through the relationship, invited a genuine old Chinese doctor from Chinatown for Zhang Nan. After some inspection, a pair of Chinese medicine for invigorating qi and a dietary treatment list were prescribed.
Five-star hotels can't boil Chinese medicine, nor can they do Chinese food therapy, but Chinese medicine will send them to you.
With money, all problems will be solved.
Now Nicole is still worried about Zhang Nan's state, and even plans to cancel the trip to Xiangjiang.
But Zhang Nan, who has already seen the auction materials, disagrees-there is one thing on the materials that he must get! Otherwise, there will be no chance until 1997 and 2016.
what to do?
The old Chinese doctor said that Zhang Nan’s Qi-tonifying Chinese medicine needs to be consumed for a week in this state, and diet therapy must be adhered to for at least one month, otherwise the root of the disease will remain!
"Nicole, prepare a private charter plane to Xiangjiang for me, with Chinese medicine practitioners, nurses, and so on."
Seeing Zhang Nan's resolute attitude, Nicole had to agree and immediately went to prepare.
is the same sentence: As long as there is enough money in the United States, there are really not many things that cannot be done!
"Mr. Allen, you should give me processing money, or hire an assistant specially."
When everything is arranged, Nicole starts to complain.
He is a financial consultant, not a life assistant.
"Dear Nicole, this is not a problem, I am going to invite you to work for me in the future, and Jenny will be my assistant."
Zhang Nan is not a counselor.
……
Zhang Nan sits between the two beauties. But he barely spoke--the throat was still dumb, and it hurt too much.
After the auctioneer wearing white gloves came to the stage to warm up, the first auction item was picked up by the staff.
Zhang Nan didn't look at the stage at all at first, but was looking at a thick book of lot information in his hand.
The first item on the first page of the lot: the saber of the Japanese military general Fengwen Yamashita.
By the way, in this so-called "Oriental Art" auction, all the lots are RB katana and saber.
Fengwen under the mountain, the Malay tiger. However, after the July 7th Incident on July 7, 1937, the bandit was ordered to lead his troops to the capital of China to participate in the war and was promoted to lieutenant general.
His command post attacked Nanyuan, Zhanchang Xindian, and Langfang, and massacred Chinese soldiers and civilians. In July 1938, Yamashita was changed to chief of staff of the "North China Front Army" of the Japanese invaders.
In July 1940, Yamashita was transferred back to Tokyo and took up the post of RB Aviation Director.
Isn’t this devil’s saber kept in the West Point Military Academy?
Not surprising, which devil will only have a saber?
The standard general saber with a golden knife thread, but not many years ago, the craftsman is good, the book introduces the famous RB local knifemaker in the 1930s.
Zhang Nan doesn't have much research on the RB saber, but the knife is still spread in an orderly manner: it was auctioned off by a descendant of a US military colonel.
At first, the colonel witnessed the surrender of Yamashita Bongwen in Baguio City, Philippines. At that time, the saber handed over by Yamashita Bongwen surrendered to the West Point Military Academy. It is said that there were three other sabers, which were divided among the American generals.
Whether it’s the Malay Tiger’s saber or not, it’s not wrong that it is an official sword.
And since the Americans are propagating this way, by the end of the day, even the fake will become real.
There were also several groups of RB people in the venue, and they were talking in a low voice in the Japanese that Zhang Nan hated.
glanced at the other party, and when the other party found out, he nodded.
Zhang Nan also nodded slightly: The bidding hasn't started on the auction floor, so it's not vindictive.
Moreover, RB people have a very good habit in the auction!
Notice! This "very good" is not a special derogatory term, it is commendatory!
When the lot is RB antiques and works of art that are left outside, the RB people who bid on the same spot will often give each other courtesy; and, once the price is too high, even if the price is too high, even if the money in the pocket is still very rich, the RB people It is often enough, and generally refuses to be taken advantage of.
Zhang Nan nodded in greeting, he-mother! He did it on purpose!
Zhang Nan quickly wrote a paragraph on the brochure in his hand with a pen, and made Nicole and Jenny take a look: Don’t reveal that I am a Chinese~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The two beautiful women nodded and expressed their understanding.
As expected: the saber starts at 80,000 US dollars, and when the price rises to 100,000 US dollars, Jenny raises a placard on behalf of Zhang Nan.
Not much each time, I shouted up one thousand dollars a step.
took a look at the group of RB people: they seem to have reached an agreement before, and only one representative bids with the others.
When the two sides looked at each other, the RB nodded again, saying that Zhang Nan, the thief, was a thief, and learned the way he learned in the movie, and nodded in Japanese style.
There were only two Americans left to bid with him. When it reached $155,000, the Americans gave up.
Zhang Nan's bid was successful: But with a 10% handling fee, he bought the saber for 170,000 US dollars.
"Why do you have to buy this RB saber?" Nicole asked Zhang Nan yesterday.
At that time, Zhang Nan ticked the picture of the saber in the brochure, which meant that the lot must be won.
"One, it's fun; two, in the future, we will wait for RB people to exchange things."
But whether to change it or not, that's Zhang Nan's decision.
RB people also have a good habit: do not buy high-priced goods, but RB guys sometimes trade things with you for something that is of similar value.
Artwork, we don't want to give the Crown Sedan, it can only be an exchange of artwork.
(I originally wanted to write more plots about the auction of RB knives, but the more I think about it, the more boring. Keep it simple. Just this chapter. It is expected to add half of the next chapter. It's a bit spoiler, the key is that this is more than half. It’s a month of continuous double opening, people are tired and a little sick, and are in a bad spirit~www.wuxiaspot.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ mobile phone users Please go to read.
