Chapter 79 Back to Beijing

The bidding process for the first item that appeared today was full of twists and turns. When Dong Minquan stepped out of the competition first and the buyer No. 781o was in sight, Toshiki Aoyama suddenly killed a shot back, and the new offer was 580,000 yuan.

No one would have thought that the bidding process of the controversial Qing Dynasty jade seal would be so exciting. Even the knowledgeable auctioneer was a little out of control. His voice had already begun to tremble slightly. He shouted to Mai: "The buyer of o911 bids 580,000, is there anything higher than 580,000, 580,000 once... twice..."

The buyer of No. 781o showed a downward trend when competing with Dong Minquan, which was probably the reason why Dong Minquan withdrew from the bidding timely. The reasonable price of this Yuxi should be between 20,000 and 30,000. Dong Minquan's subsequent offer was to give Tang Feng a face. He was so scheming and saw the psychological price of his opponent and chose to escape at the critical moment. Of course, even if he made a mistake, it didn't matter. With Dong Minquan's wealth, a thousand-month price was nothing. The increase in the price at the critical moment made the buyer of No. 781o feel embarrassed. After asking the boss behind the scenes, he finally gave up the competition. In this way, Tang Feng's Yuxi brought him a profit of 580,000. After deducting 25% of the commission fee, he actually received 4.350 million.

When Fan Ziyun heard the words of "Japanese devils" from others, she knew that Toshiki Aoyama was Japanese. When she saw Tang Feng happy, she couldn't help but say, "Are you so happy that our jade seal was bought by the Japanese?"

"Why can't you be happy?" Tang Feng looked at Fan Ziyun and said, "This is a good thing. The jade seal has been in our country and has not been considered a precious cultural relic. It is ours that cost them." How great would it be if the cultural relics lost overseas in China were lost at this price.

"Look at your happiness." Fan Ziyun, who was not sure, gave Tang Feng a blank look and said, "It seems that all the money has fallen into your pocket."

Tang Feng smiled and said softly at Fan Ziyun's ear: "You are right, this is mine."

"What?" Fan Ziyun looked at Tang Feng with a suspicious look on her face and asked, "Are you kidding?"

Tang Feng nodded and said, "I mean, you...you won't... that because of this, right?"

"I didn't mean that." Fan Ziyun said seriously in Tang Feng's ear: "This kind of thing cannot be made public. If it is used by someone with a heart, your future will be gone."

Tang Feng thought about it, too. If this matter was exposed by the media, it would be a big trouble. The Chinese actually sold Chinese cultural relics to the Japanese. With this heavy hat on Tang Feng, he would never be able to turn over. The crime would be a big deal. He said to Fan Ziyun: "I believe in you and told you."

"Haha, come and have a trap with me. Is it close?" Fan Ziyun said: "You said you believe me, just to let me not speak out. Don't worry, I'm not as unbearable as you thought."

"I said, you misunderstood this." Tang Feng said: "I believe you can understand my approach, not afraid of being known. Although the current Chinese society cannot accept this behavior, in the long run, this is definitely a good thing. Blocking the good, auctioning is generally a virtuous cycle, converting general cultural relics into monetary value, and then using this money to better protect other cultural relics is not the best of both worlds?"

Fan Ziyun smiled and said, "You don't have to explain it to me. My grandfather has also told me about these principles. We believe in you, but you should also be careful not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank Miss Fan for your advice."

"Stop coming." Fan Ziyun said: "Does someone as smart as you still need me to give me advice?"

Chatting here, the auctions over there are still in full swing. Tonight the items are of relatively high grade, and several items have been sold at high prices. Of course, due to the impact of the economic crisis, the annual total transaction prices of the auction industry have shrunk slightly in the past two years. Except for the jade seal of Tang Feng that broke the jade seal transaction price records of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places in one fell swoop, other items are still a distance away from the record.

After a while, Shi Kefa's Shangfang sword was pushed onto the stage. The importance of this sword was self-evident. The auctioneer announced the start of the auction without giving too much introduction.

"Then let me start." Tang Feng finished speaking and raised his quotation label, with 4.35 million yuan as his foundation. He was full of confidence and quoted 30,000 yuan as soon as he started.

Liu Yue from the other side said to Tang Feng: "Hey, what should we do if you quote like this?"

Tang Feng smiled slightly and said, "If 3ooo million can be taken, I will give it to you." Dong Minquan and others were determined to win this Shangfang sword, and Toshiki Aoyama seemed to be quoting RMB as yen. With them, plus the wealthy people from all sides present, 3ooo million will definitely not be able to get this Shangfang sword.

Sure enough, as soon as Tang Feng put down the quotation label, the new quotation roared past 3ooo million. Qingshan Toshishu immediately took action, and his quotation was 33oo million. While quoting, Qingshan Toshishu, who had already seen Tang Feng, turned his eyes to Tang Feng. At this time, Tang Feng also looked at him, and the eyes of the two of them were facing each other. Qingshan Toshishu's eyes were full of contempt for Tang Feng. Boy, compete with me, you should realize it as soon as possible; Tang Feng felt particularly pleasing to Qingshanjun today. When the person he hated became a sucker, everyone would be happy.

On the other side, the Lan family joined the competition, and the quotation rose all the way, and soon reached the high of 3.9oo million. As Lan Qi raised the quotation to 4.5oo million, the number of competitors decreased sharply. Aoyama Toshiki added 10,000. Then, Lan Qi jumped to 4.9oo million again, and Aoyama Toshiki added 10,000. A Shangfang sword that was not originally valuable broke through the 5ooo million mark just because it witnessed a period of history. It can be seen that the preciousness of cultural relics is often not its own, but the humanistic spirit it contains.

At this time, Dong Minquan took action, and his first offer was 5.80,000 yuan. This offer was provocative, because Aoyama Toshishu successfully bid for Tang Feng's Yuxi with this offer. It is definitely worthy to become a wealthy businessman. Those who participated in the bidding are veterans of the mall. No matter how others hype or how they raise prices, he always has a bottom line. Money is not paper after all. Therefore, both Lan Qi and Dong Minquan once chose to give up in the competition with Aoyama Toshishu.

Putting aside the grievances between China and Japan, the Japanese are only two kinds of people who are keen on Chinese cultural relics. One is to love Chinese culture, which is understandable. After all, Chinese culture is the source of Japanese culture. The other is just the opposite. They hate China and everything that Chinese people want to get. Aoyama Toshiki obviously belongs to the latter, so he spent 580,000 to buy the Qing Dynasty jade seal that symbolized the ancient imperial power of China and had nothing to do with the Japanese. Tang Feng believed that all the meaning of this Shangfang sword used by Shi Kefa, a famous anti-Qing general in China in the Ming Dynasty, is relative to the Chinese, which is meaningless to the Japanese, but Aoyama Toshiki just wants to bid, which is a pathological condition. Of course, there may be a normal state here. If this Shangfang sword was bought by Aoyama Toshiki and others to auction in Hong Kong, then all this will have a better explanation.

Tang Feng looked at Fan Ziyun, and Fan Ziyun smiled at him and asked, "What are you looking at me?"

"I was wondering, if this sword was finally bid by the Japanese, would Miss Fan be sad about it?" Tang Feng said to Fan Ziyun.

Fan Ziyun shook her head and said, "It's not sad, but I'll feel a little regretful."

Dong Minquan's position in the Hong Kong antique industry is undoubtedly. After his offer, Lan Qi and other Chinese businessmen withdrew from the competition. This is not a retreat, but a kind of respect. Aoyama Toshishi's offer was 60,000 yuan, and then, Dong Minquan offered 680,000 yuan. It seems that the old man is unscrupulous.

Just as Toshiki Aoyama was about to continue quoting, a person beside him reached out and grabbed him. The former had to give up. It seemed that Toshiki Aoyama was not the highest decision-maker among these Japanese. Regardless of whether this Shangfang sword was theirs or not, 680,000 was their psychological limit price. Dong Minquan finally successfully bid for this sword at a sky-high price.

With the last item successfully sold, the week-long spring auction came to an end. After the auction, Dong Minquan announced to the reporter interviewed at the door of the Hong Kong International Convention and Exhibition Center that he would donate the Shangfang sword to the Chinese History Museum for free.

With Zhu Biwei by Liu Yue, Tang Feng was inconvenient to say anything. He and Fan Ziyun here didn't say much. After he greeted him, the four of them left.

The next day, after the handover, Tang Feng took a flight from Hong Kong to Beijing back to Beijing. Lin Muyu was busy in China. When she saw Tang Feng coming in, she was stunned for a moment. She stepped forward and said to Tang Feng, "You are like you, don't say hello first when you come back, so I can go and pick you up."

Tang Feng said: "It's not that I don't know the way, so it's so troublesome to pick it up."

"By the way, Tang Feng." Lin Muyu said to Tang Feng: "An old man came to see you two days ago."

Tang Feng asked, "Old man? What does it look like?"

"Ah?" After Lin Muyu described the old man's appearance, Tang Feng immediately said: "Why didn't you keep him? He is my grandfather."

Lin Muyu nodded and said, "I guess it's your grandfather. Of course I tried to keep him, but he didn't want to stay. He said that you would go to the Huang family immediately after you return to Beijing, and he would wait for you there, hey..."
