Chapter 89 Sky-high price of containers
Not to mention Henry, Paul was also filled with hatred just now.
The auctioneer began to introduce the origin of the container again, but this time it was simpler. Maybe they didn't know much about the container, they only knew where it came from.
After I finished speaking, I immediately opened the door of the container without being verbose and let everyone look at it for two minutes.
After two minutes passed, the bidding officially began, and the starting price was still $2,000.
It's an ordinary container, and you can't see anything valuable outside. Of course, it's not that bad. Everyone just joined in the fun and quoted prices once or twice.
Paul suddenly said: "$6,000!"
As soon as these words came out, those people immediately paid attention to it.
Yes! Now it is not only the fat man who is optimistic about Lin Yuan and others, but also others. They are not fools. To be able to bet correctly three times in a row and make so much money must be a bit of a unique vision.
If you treat others as a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, you are purely deceiving yourself and others.
"$6,100!" The fat man said without hesitation.
No one was surprised to see this guy following the price, but it was still quite disgusting.
"$6,500!"
"$6,700!"
……
Others followed suit.
Paul found that he didn't need to fight with the fat man, as long as he quoted a price, someone would "assist" him. Seeing this scene, Paul smiled.
"Ten thousand dollars!" When those people calmed down for a moment, Paul added fuel to the fire.
The fat black man added a hundred dollars as usual.
To be honest, not to mention other people, even the auctioneer hates this kind of troublemaker.
It is undeniable that the existence of such people can sometimes help them increase the transaction price and can be regarded as an "ally". But sometimes it can lead to bad things. After others are familiar with this routine and are too lazy to follow it later, they will take advantage of this guy, and the auctioneer becomes a "victim".
Therefore, it is really "Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He fails"!
People who were a little calm at first were so fueled that they hurried to follow for fear of missing the opportunity to make a fortune.
This gave the fat man a headache, and he glared at the people around him. However, this look cannot scare anyone away from the idea of getting rich.
He usually disgusts others, but now he turns against Tiangang?
The fat black man felt a little aggrieved.
Soon, the price rose to $30,000.
The fat black man is still the same. Every time someone raises the price, he will give him a hundred dollars more than the other person, just to wear down everyone's patience. He is a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water or what others think of him.
In the end, the price of the container reached a terrifying US$80,000.
Paul was almost done in a hurry. If it really happened in his own hands, it would be bad. Looking at the fat black man, he estimated that he was almost at his limit.
The happiest person is undoubtedly the auctioneer.
Unexpectedly, this ordinary container was sold for a sky-high price of 80,000 yuan a day.
Yes! For a container, $80,000 is a sky-high price.
The fat man got the container for US$80,000 as he wished, and he did not forget to make a provocative move towards Paul and others.
Lin Yuan and the others laughed, but he would cry later.
Afterwards, Fatty Hei started to clean the items in the container. He was sure that there were treasures valued by that group of people in the container, otherwise he would not have taken action like this. So, he cleaned up very carefully.
Others didn't leave either. They all wanted to see what treasures could be found in this 80,000-yuan-priced container and how much money they could make.
The fat black man took out a piece of porcelain from inside. He felt that this was the treasure that Lin Yuan and the others were interested in.
Just now, from the opened container, a small part of the porcelain bottle could be seen. It was precisely because of this that he insisted on it. According to his usual habits, when it reaches 30,000 US dollars, he will be very cautious.
But seeing Lin Yuan and the others earning more than 100,000 US dollars today, he couldn't hold himself back.
"The porcelain shouldn't be valuable, right?" Paul asked.
Just now, he didn't see the porcelain. Now that the guy found out a porcelain vase, I felt a little panicked, fearing that I would get my money back or even make a fortune.
In that case, he becomes a clown.
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It's worthless. Modern products can't even be considered imitations."
"That's good, that's good!" Paul felt relieved.
"Brother Lin, how do you tell it's modern?" Qiao Yufan asked.
Liu Xin seemed to see something and explained: "There are Arabic numerals on it."
Sure enough, when you get closer, you can see Arabic numerals on the porcelain bottle. This time, even Li Qiushui and Huo Qingtong felt that it must be something modern.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
However, Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's not a matter of numbers.
Arabic numerals were introduced to China a long time ago, but they are not used much. ”
As early as the Tang Dynasty, imported Arab merchants and Khitan people introduced Arab numerals into China through commercial and cultural exchanges.
In the Song Dynasty, with the prosperity of the economy and the development of commerce, Arabic numerals were gradually widely used by merchants and bankers. Mathematicians in the Song Dynasty also began to study and apply numbers.
"Don't talk about Arab numbers, there are also a lot of Arab porcelains, which used to be exported." Lin Yuan said.
He didn't lie, especially since the Yuan Dynasty.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Islamic decorations appeared on a few porcelains, which was an acceptance of Islamic culture by Chinese culture.
In the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of blue and white porcelains with Islamic decoration style appeared, which was the need of the Yuan Dynasty government for trade porcelain in the Islamic region.
In the Yongle and Xuande periods of the early Ming Dynasty, some blue and white porcelain with Arab characteristics were used for political exchanges and diplomatic needs. On the other hand, it was also because of Emperor Zhengde's preference for Islamic culture. .
Many museums in the country retain Arab blue and white porcelain.
So the numbers are not the problem with the vase.
When everyone heard this, they seemed to be right and nodded slightly.
"Then what's the problem?"
Lin Yuan: "It's the golden camellia above. This kind of golden camellia was only discovered in modern times."
As far as he knew, that extremely rare tea tree had a long history, was mainly distributed in a small part of China, and was a national first-class protected plant. Golden Camellia was discovered in 1933. Although there are many artificially cultivated ones, the wild ones are very rare.
In other words, this porcelain vase must have been fired after 1933.
The explanation was very reasonable, even Paul who didn't understand much understood it this time.
The fat black man was still feeling proud, thinking it was a treasure.
No wonder he thought so, most people present would have the same idea. Porcelain is a Chinese work of art and even the most dazzling business card of Chinese culture.
This is something the whole world knows.
When seeing porcelain, everyone’s first reaction is China, no doubt.
The fat black man even danced.
There's a saying, niggas have a little bit of their DNA in dancing.
