NO.1 Antique Son-in-law - C112
In fact, with Lin Jing’s current condition, it would be difficult for him to determine just what sort of condition he was in.
“Yes, I’m going to buy two.” Lin Jing said indifferently.
“What did you say?” Feng Yuqing could not believe his ears. What was going on right now? The Precious Tree Sect had just returned so many orders, yet Lin Jing said he still wanted to buy two items?
“But our current situation …” Feng Yuqing said worriedly.
“I know that we are in a bad situation right now, and we all want to use the magnifying glass to find fault with us, but the more it is like this, the more we cannot fall. We have to show them that our Treasure Lin Zhai is actually doing very well.” Lin Jing said.
“Then I’ll take a look with you. Even if you want to buy it, you can’t be too casual. You still have to choose carefully.” Feng Yuqing nodded.
“Next, let’s invite Mr. Zhao. The item behind is Mr. Zhao’s.” Jiang Yun said loudly on the stage.
“Actually, I’ve never shown this item to anyone else, today is the first time I’ve taken it out for everyone to appraise.” Mister Zhao seemed to cherish his own possessions as he softly spoke.
“Seems like Mr. Zhao really loves his own collection. Actually, we do the same as well. For real items, we will do our best to protect them.”
Jiang Yun then smiled and said, “Be careful. Bring out Mr Zhao’s belongings.”
Just as he finished speaking, a small box was brought up.
“Mr. Zhao, what’s in this box? I see that this box is exquisite in appearance, and I think that the items inside are more unique, so I am very curious! ” Jiang Yun said from the side.
“Just open it and take a look.” Mr. Zhao answered without thinking, and then opened the box containing the items.
“Ring.” Jiang Yuncai said in surprise.
“I wonder, when did this thumb ring come into existence?”
It was no wonder that Jiang Yunzhu was surprised. This thumb ring was made from a piece of emerald. Just by looking at the workmanship, one could tell that it was worth a lot.
“When I bought it, I said that it was bought from the Qing Dynasty, but I’m not too sure when exactly, so I came here to appraise it.”
“So that’s the case. In that case, let’s hand over this item to the experts. We also wish to know when exactly such a high-quality item was collected.” Jiang Yun said excitedly, looking as if he wanted to keep the treasure in his arms.
“Boss, what do you think of this thing?” Feng Yuqing hadn’t said anything earlier, but now that he saw this thumb ring, he took the initiative to ask about Lin Jing.
“What is it? “You think that’s good?” Lin Jing asked with a smile.
“That’s right. Even from afar, I feel that this is a rare treasure. I just don’t know if there are any flaws when I look at it from close up. But looking at Jiang Yuncai, I’m afraid there won’t be any problems.” As Feng Yuqing spoke, he gave Lin Jing a meaningful look, telling him to take a good look at the direction in which Jiang Yuncai’s gaze was directed.
“Actually, when I first saw this thumb ring, my heart was also moved. However, after thinking for a moment, I calmed down.” Lin Jing looked at Feng Yuqing and said.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this thumb ring? ” Feng Yuqing clearly didn’t understand Lin Jing’s meaning.
“I haven’t looked at it carefully, so naturally I don’t know if there’s anything wrong with it. I only thought of one thing, and that is, if this ring is real and its appearance is perfect, then why would they sell it?”
“About this.” Feng Yuqing thought about it for a moment, and felt that Lin Jing’s words were indeed reasonable.
“Then let’s wait and see.” Feng Yuqing said. He was worried that he had too much hope. If the experts later said that this thing was fake, then it would really be a huge mess.
“Mr. Zhao, this item of yours is a rare and authentic item.”
The experts were initially seated behind the tables, but after seeing the ring, they all stood up.
“We’ve already confirmed that this is the real product of Qian Long’s era.”
After the confirmation from the experts, Mr. Zhao did not appear to be surprised. After all, it was his personal item. Even if he was a little more experienced in appraising treasures, he still had some confidence.
“Mr. Zhao, do you know who is the owner of this ring?” Jiang Yuncai saw that he had already confirmed that the thumb ring was genuine. If he knew that it belonged to someone else, it might be even more valuable, so he could not wait to ask.
“I’m not sure about this yet. The main thing is that there are no words on the thumb ring and no definite mark, so right now, we only know the age. As for who it belongs to, it’s really hard to say.”
“So it’s like that.” Jiang Yun said with a hint of regret in his voice.
“Then Mr Zhao, would you like to collect this thumb ring yourself, or would you like to use this opportunity to sell it today?” Jiang Yun asked with a glimmer of hope in his voice.
“Originally, I didn’t plan to help you, but I see that everyone here seems to like this thumb ring a lot. To be honest, I won’t hide the fact that I also like this thumb ring a lot. However, I don’t only have this item in my home, so I’m willing to auction this thumb ring here.”
Mr. Zhao’s words set off a huge ruckus on the surface of the water, causing the people in the venue to boil over with excitement.
“What?” Mr. Zhao was actually willing to help the thumb ring? “Awesome.”
“I never would have thought that Mister Zhao would be so magnanimous.”
“Sigh, even if they are willing to sell it, we still have to be able to afford it …”
It could be seen that the people below the stage all wanted to buy this ring, but just as that person said, even if they were willing to sell it, they might not be able to afford it.
“Boss, did you hear that? He’s willing to sell it.”
When Feng Yuqing heard this, he pushed Lin Jing excitedly.
They wanted to buy this item, not only to let everyone know that they wouldn’t be defeated by the Jiang family, but also to let everyone know that their Precious Forest Academy wasn’t just a merchant who sold counterfeit goods, but they truly loved to play with literature.
“Yes, I heard it. I just don’t know how much this thing will sell for in the end.” Lin Jing looked at Jiang Yuncai who was standing at the side. The latter seemed to like this thumb ring and had a smile that said he was determined to get it.
“Then let’s start the auction, Mr. Zhao.” Jiang Yun said impatiently.
On the side, Jiang Yunsheng and Jiang Yunmao also seemed to be very interested in this thumb ring. However, they had their own opinions on why Jiang Yunzhu didn’t follow the rules.
“Ol ‘Three, our main topic for today is the Treasure Convention. Take a look and see if we should first appraise a mister’s collection in order.”
Jiang Yunmao reminded him.
However, he wasn’t so kind-hearted. He felt more like he wanted everyone present to know that Jiang Yun had made a mistake.
“Big brother, now everyone wants to see this ring. Furthermore, everyone is so interested in this ring, I think they also wish to temporarily put aside the matter of appraising treasures to auction first.”
Jiang Yun then turned to look at the crowd.
Everyone in the audience also seemed to understand tacitly as they shouted, “That’s right, we all want to see who will end up with this thumb ring.”
“Hurry up and auction it.”
“…”
Seeing this, Jiang Yunmao naturally had nothing else to say. However, he was still somewhat unwilling in his heart. He didn’t know when, but he was actually going to be suppressed by his third brother, who had no prospects.
Although this disparity wasn’t great, with so many people present, it wasn’t appropriate for Jiang Yunmao to flare up. He could only endure his anger.
“Alright, since everyone is so enthusiastic, let me announce that today’s temporary auction will officially begin.”
Jiang Yun brought out a small hammer from who knows where and made it sound like a proper auction.
“This ring of the Qing Dynasty, as a whole, is completely transparent, and is naturally formed. The starting price is, uh, Mister Zhao, how much do you want for the starting price of this ring?” Jiang Yuncai was so agitated that he forgot to ask the seller for the price.
“Oh, what I value more about this ring is its feelings. After all, it is something that I have collected for a long time. I think the last bidder should also be very fond of this ring.” Mr. Zhao spoke with confidence and assurance.
On the contrary, Lin Jing felt that he wasn’t auctioning them, but rather fanning them.
“So in the end, I decided to start at eight million.” Mr. Zhao said casually, as if this eight million yuan was as simple as eighty dollars.
“8 million, looks like we really have to watch the show.”
When they heard the starting price, someone immediately said dejectedly. Of course, it wasn’t that the person who said that didn’t have eight million. He just felt that it might be a bit of a loss if he used eight million to buy a ring.
“Yeah, I thought that the starting price of this thumb ring was at most five million. If it was five million, I might give it a try. But eight million, I think it’s better off.”
“What do you know? He’s called a selector buyer, so the value of this thumb ring might be only that much. But Mr. Zhao, it’s not wrong that someone with strength wanted to buy his thumb ring.”
The audience was abuzz with discussion.
“Yes, this thing belongs to him, he can sell it however he wants. Plus, he hasn’t confirmed the time yet, so the market price is naturally uncertain. In my opinion, we should just give it a try if we can’t afford it.”
Seeing such a good item, most antiques fans wanted to keep it in their pockets. However, with the current situation, many people could only give up when they saw the price.
“Boss, this thing costs 8 million, do you think it’s worth it?” When Feng Yuqing heard this price, he also felt the same shock.
A Qing Dynasty thumb ring could actually be sold for such a high price!
“Not bad. Actually, this seller is not just asking for a price. This ring is indeed worth this price.” He had seen quite a few things over the years, and now that he looked at this thumb ring, he felt that it was quite good.
“Then tell me, are we going to shoot it now?”
Feng Yuqing asked.
