Treasure Hunt America

Chapter 78: Bid

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!

****************

After thinking about it, I was relieved. Look at the appraisal company Phil found that signed the name behind the appraisal.

Looking at Phil, if he really knew what he was doing, as long as he was willing to spend some money to find an appraiser from an appraisal company like Sotheby's or Christie's, he would definitely not appear here.

As far as the snuff bottles he has collected, the modern and modern handicrafts on the top are not counted, just the four that Jin Muchen just saw below.

Just take one out, and if it goes up for auction, the price will not be less than one million.

As long as the amber snuff bottle with the Qianlong imperial inscription goes up for auction, Jin Muchen estimates that the price will not be less than one million yuan at the very least.

Not to mention the other two from the Qianlong period, a black case with cowpea red glass tea pattern snuff bottle, and a white case with blue glass body enamel colored bamboo and magpie figure snuff bottle, any one of them can easily be photographed for millions. price.

As for the ancestor of the last snuff bottle, the blue-and-white cucumber bat snuff bottle, if there is no miscalculation, it is even more incredible. It should be the treasure of Kangxi Nian, and this one alone will cost more than 10 million yuan.

So seeing this, Jin Muchen knew that this Phil was a bucket of water and two knives. The study of the pot is one scale and half a claw.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be such a blind man with a bright baby under his eyelids, but he turned a blind eye.

But Jin Muchen thought about it, but she was happy again, thanks to these two knives and half a bucket of water, otherwise it would be impossible for him to see such a baby in such a market!

The auction started, and some guys who were interested in these snuff bottles began to bid on the blackboard.

It can be seen that these snuff bottles should be very popular. The collectors in the United States really like it. In just a few minutes, there are no less than ten people who have marked the price on the blackboard.

However, their bids are not very high. Each bid is only a hundred to two hundred dollars higher than the previous bid.

From Jin Muchen's point of view, most of these guys regard these snuff bottles as small and exquisite handicrafts with some historical value, which is why they make such an offer.

If they really understood, I'm afraid they wouldn't quote like this at all.

The bid price was quickly pushed up to $150,000. At this time, the collectors who were watching the bidding hesitated a bit. Phil's face was calm, and he couldn't see what the old man was thinking.

However, half a minute has passed since the last quotation. If there is no quotation after 30 seconds, this batch of snuff bottles will probably be sold at this price.

Of course Jin Muchen would not agree. He pushed the crowd away and walked over, directly marking the price of $110,000 at the bottom.

He immediately raised the offer by $5,000, which was much more ruthless than the previous bid of one hundred and two hundred dollars, and also showed his determination to win this batch of snuff bottles.

The people present let out a burst of exclamations, but because this was a silent auction, although everyone was surprised by the boldness of this Asian, no one opened their mouths to discuss it.

But obviously some people didn't want Jin Muchen to simply take these snuff bottles away, so several people started to come up and write new quotations under his price.

Jin Muchen didn't say anything, just looked at the bidders, one of them was a bald middle-aged white man. His bid was five hundred dollars more than Jin Muchen's bid, which showed that he wanted to compete, but his financial resources were limited.

The other was an old white man with a wrinkled face, who was much more daring, adding another $2,000 to the bald white man's offer, which was a relatively favorable contender.

As for the other items with an extra one or two hundred, Jin Muchen didn't even notice them. What caught his attention the most was an Asian like him who appeared out of nowhere.

This guy is of medium stature, wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looks like a gentleman in white. Twenty thousand dollars.

After writing the quotation, the guy stood aside with his arms folded, looking at Jin Muchen with a sneer on his face.

Seeing his smile like this, Jin Muchen felt very uncomfortable. He didn't know him, and he didn't offend him. Could he be so hostile to himself?

But do you think you'll be hooked?

Jin Muchen curled his lips and went up to raise the price to $130,000. Compared with the last price, his price increase was doubled.

Such an offer immediately made the people around him explode. He could hear many people gasping for air, and even many people muttered to themselves after seeing his offer: "This guy is crazy. It's gone!"

And the reason why Jin Muchen made such an offer was for a purpose, just to squeeze out those guys who didn't have the strength and wanted to fish in troubled waters.

When he saw his offer, Phil, who had been sitting behind the table with a calm expression, also opened his eyes. Obviously, such an offer was something he had not thought of before.

The Asian who looked like a white-faced scholar saw that Jin Muchen directly raised his price by 10,000 dollars, and his expression changed. He gave Jin Muchen a fierce look, then gritted his teeth, and stepped forward to raise the price to 135,000. thousand dollars.

After putting down the pen, he returned to the crowd and continued to stare at Jin Muchen viciously.

This guy's attitude really made Jin Muchen very unhappy, he walked quickly to the blackboard, this time he directly raised the price to $150,000.

The price increase is increasing by 5,000. This time someone finally couldn't help it and began to talk quietly.

"Mad, this guy is crazy..."

"Nonsense George, don't look at it, this guy is Chinese."

"Fuck off Stan, how do you know he's Chinese?"

"Humph! You don't believe you are an idiot, and you don't even think about it. Now, apart from the Chinese, who else would be so generous to these junk?"

"Well, that's true. The appraisal company gave these snuff bottles at an estimate of 80,000 yuan. He's already bidding twice as much. It seems that only the Chinese are willing to spend such a fool."

At this time, the people around were talking a lot, and some people even wished the scene was better, hoping that the other white-faced scholar would make another quotation, and then fight a price war with Jin Muchen.

You must know that at such a silent auction site in the wild road market, if a batch of items with a price of 200,000 can be auctioned, it will definitely be a sensational news.

The usual silent auctions here are mostly from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, and there are many tens of thousands of yuan, but there are not many in the 100,000 yuan, and it can even be said that it is rare to see it for a few years.

This time everyone has caught up, who doesn't want to take a good look at the excitement?

Jin Muchen turned a deaf ear to the discussions of these guys. Anyway, now that he is rich, he still has more than one million in those bank accounts in Western Europe.

It was a suitable choice for him to spend hundreds of thousands to win these snuff bottles. He had time to entangle with the guy on the opposite side.

At this time, the guy on the opposite side was panting and staring at Jin Muchen. He obviously didn't expect to meet a difficult guy like Jin Muchen here.

He was very unconvinced, but he was a little hesitant when he wanted to go forward to make an offer. After all, the price of 150,000 is not low, and the guy on the opposite side, just by looking at his posture, knew that he must be a nouveau riche from the mainland.

"Chen Sang, what happened?"

A few dwarfs suddenly squeezed in outside the crowd, and asked around the white-faced scholar.

As soon as he heard the screeching words of those guys, Jin Muchen knew that these guys were a group of Japanese, and also knew this white-faced scholar. Hearing them shouting the white-faced scholar's name, this guy seemed to be Chinese.

These Japanese people are not tall, but they are not young. They are probably in their 40s. Some wear glasses, and some have slick businessman faces~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Around the white-faced scholar, he talked a lot, and when the white-faced scholar was facing the Japanese, he lost the momentum he had when he looked at Jin Muchen just now, just nodded and bowed like a pug. appearance.

Just listening to them say a few words, Jin Muchen knew that this guy surnamed Chen turned out to be the translator of these Japanese people. The Japanese just bought something at the other end of the market, but this guy came here to bid.

The Japanese saw a few good things, and were about to bargain with the seller, but suddenly found that the translator around him was missing, so they came all the way, and they looked very annoyed after finding them.

In the end, the translator surnamed Chen nodded and followed the Japanese, but no one dared to challenge his offer of 150,000 yuan.

After waiting for a minute, the white-bearded old man Phil laughed and stood up, reaching out and giving Jin Muchen a firm grip.

"Congratulations, Mr. Kim, these treasures are yours now!"

"Congratulations too, Mr. Phil, you must be quite satisfied with my price, right?"

"Haha, of course I'm satisfied, thank you Mr. Jin, you've helped me a lot!"

But Jin Muchen didn't reply this time, just said in his heart, thank you, you have helped me a lot.

The treasure that he had collected for more than 30 years was finally sold by him at the price of junk. To be honest, Jin Muchen really wanted to see this Phil's expression after knowing the true value of these snuff bottles!
