Chapter 47: I Can't Sleep Until I Finish Reading My Baby
Buyers flocked forward to watch the appraisal.
After the appraisal, the auction began.
This set of gold jewelry consisted of seven pieces, with a starting price of 100,000.
Because it was a precious metal, it had a certain value, and many people were willing to buy it.
Before long, this set of gold jewelry was successfully auctioned for over 600,000.
Next came the second set, the third set...
After the gold jewelry auction ended, the porcelain section moved on.
The porcelain pieces were relatively small at first, but gradually grew larger and more exquisite.
Watching the prices of each item rise, everyone's enthusiasm was once again aroused.
As the last pair of large porcelain jars with lids were placed on the stage, everyone held their breath.
It was because they were so large and complete that
they almost made people wonder if they were fake.
This time, no one could come up to the auction directly for appraisal. Only those interested in the auction could go up one by one for appraisal.
Someone with a good memory suddenly remembered the man's background and immediately felt like watching the show.
Someone whispered, "Isn't this Master Dong's disciple?"
"Yes, he often represents Master Dong at auctions..."
"So Master Dong has his eye on this pair of porcelain vases too?"
"Oh my! He's a true master! Maybe these vases are truly great!"
The other two, who had been almost ready, became even more excited.
The bid soon broke through four million.
Finally, the vases fetched a price of four million.
The young man, slightly ahead, stepped forward to complete the paperwork.
The auction concluded, with the total transaction value approaching thirty million.
Even if the auction company only took a 25% commission from both buyers and sellers, that would still be around seven million.
Xiao Yingchun's company share was only thirty percent, which still amounted to over two million. However, as the seller, she also had to pay a ten percent commission, which amounted to several hundred thousand more to the company.
After all deductions, Xiao Yingchun still had over twenty million in auction proceeds.
She had become a virtual overnight rich.
Everyone said goodbye to Grandpa He, Dai Wangnian, Dai Hengxin and others, and each took their things and left.
Dai Wangnian also left.
But Zhao Chengfeng didn't want to leave because Grandpa He hadn't left yet.
She came over to talk to Grandpa He, but Grandpa He didn't have time to pay attention to her. Instead, he took the initiative to get in front of Xiao Yingchun and urged her in a sneaky whisper.
"Xiao girl, hurry up! Don't waste time."
Xiao Yingchun looked at the time. It was past ten o'clock in the evening.
When they returned to the outskirts of the city, it was past eleven o'clock. Is it appropriate to pull Master Dong over at this time?
"Grandpa He, why don't we go tomorrow? It's late at night and the light is not good. Don't see it wrongly."
"What's wrong with the light? Don't we have a flashlight? Let's go!"
Xiao Yingchun had figured it out. If she didn't let them see, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
She looked at the young man in a suit, who was also looking at Xiao Yingchun with a proper smile and an expectant look on his face.
It was the young man who had just raised the sign at the critical moment, pushing the final pair of blue and white porcelain vases to four million.
They made you money... They don't care, so why should I care?
Let's go.
Seeing Xiao Yingchun nod, Mr. He became even more excited: "So are we leaving now?"
"Where's Mr. Dong?" Xiao Yingchun remembered that the old man was the protagonist.
The young man said: "I'll go upstairs to ask the teacher now. Mr. He, please send me the location later."
"Okay, okay." Mr. He agreed, added the young man's WeChat, and then took Xiao Yingchun away.
Zhao Chengfeng saw the young man who had won the two porcelain jars and Old Man He talking to Xiao Yingchun, and she assumed it was something important, so she had to wait nearby.
But then the young man suddenly took off.
Turning back, she saw Old Man He pulling Xiao Yingchun along, with He Liangcong trailing behind. They were actually leaving together.
What did they mean?!
Wasn't the auction over?
Why was there a follow-up event?!
If there was a follow-up event, why didn't her son come along?
Were they going to do the transaction separately without her son?
Zhao Chengfeng knew Xiao Yingchun had something in her possession, and she panicked. She grabbed Xiao Yingchun and forced a smile.
"Miss Xiao, where are you going?" Xiao
Yingchun looked at Zhao Chengfeng in surprise. "Of course, I'm going to do something."
"What's going on?"
What does that have to do with you?!
Zhao Chengfeng's persistent questioning made everyone stare at her.
Old Master He couldn't help but glance at Zhao Chengfeng. "I asked Xiao Yingchun to come with me for something. Do I need to report this to you?"
Zhao Chengfeng hadn't expected Old Master He to get aggressive. She quickly released her grip on Xiao Yingchun's arm and said with a wry smile, "I was just curious when Hengxin didn't come with us."
Old Master He pointed at Dai Hengxin, who was busy directing the delivery of the auction items, clearing the accounts, and cleaning up the mess. "Is he free now?"
Dai Enning, feeling embarrassed, hurriedly pulled her mother behind her, complaining, "Mom, what are you doing? Grandpa He and the others must have their own things to do..."
Zhao Chengfeng gave Dai Enning a look of disapproval: "What a loser!"
They hadn't even agreed to take her, and she was already elbowing him.
What good was that?
Zhao Chengfeng took a step back, deliberately saying, "You, you really care about your brother Cong..."
He Liangcong ignored him, pretending he hadn't heard. He fiddled with his phone, his fingers busy, a smile on his face, and he was texting someone.
Only then did Mr. He take Xiao Yingchun away.
Xiao Yingchun had come to Huizhou alone; she couldn't possibly tell anyone she could pull out her thing at any moment.
To avoid being exposed, a large group accompanied the two bosses back to the outskirts of the city overnight.
I've seen many comments from treasures, and they all think that a complete set of gold jewelry couldn't possibly be priced that high, believing that even modern gold jewelry couldn't be bought at that price.
Actually, I only wrote this price after checking the transaction records. Ancient gold was impure, with a purity level of less than 99%.
Han Dynasty horseshoe gold and unicorn gold were only 70%.
Tang Dynasty red gold bowls were only 90% pure. The common 18K gold today has a gold content of 75%.
Interested treasures can search for them.
I also checked the prices of some other items before writing this. It might not be the same as the millions or tens of millions you imagine, but the auction house's record shows that price. (End of this chapter)
