Chapter 509
Jin Chaochao put away the invitation, looked at the three children and said, "Would you like to come with me to broaden your horizons?"
Si Mingye and Mu Chuan looked at each other and said, "Sister, you guys underestimate us kids too much. If we come across something good, we have the money to buy it."
Jin Chaochao was surprised and said, "It seems like you have quite a bit of private money!"
"Of course!" Everyone, including Lan Cai, couldn't stop laughing.
Just kidding, there is Si Mingye who is very smart, and Mu Chuan who is a super red hacker.
Their private savings had long ago doubled in value, and now they couldn't even spend it all.
Lan Cai is very contented because his uncle has been busy all his life but still has more money than he has in his bank card now.
It really hurts to say it out loud.
He now understands that information asymmetry can really bring many opportunities for ordinary people to turn their lives around.
Of course, his current good life is inseparable from Jin Chaochao's strong training and support.
The reason why he is so rich now is closely related to Si Mingye’s intelligence and Mu Chuan’s awesomeness.
…
Liu Gang is quite skilled, so Jin Chaochao plans to take him along.
Mother Yan has always been taking personal care of Jin Chaochao. A group of six people arrived at the auction early.
There are many local delicacies on site.
The three children tried everything.
Finally, Si Mingye concluded, "The taste is indeed different, but I still like the food at our house."
"Me too. I'm not used to raw or fishy food." Mu Chuan curled his lips.
Lan Cai, on the other hand, is not picky about food. “I think it’s pretty good. It’s not very delicious, but it’s not terrible either.”
While they were chatting, a man in a suit came forward and said in fluent Mandarin with disdain, "These foods are top-quality ingredients carefully selected by our Tokugawa family. Only here in the world can you eat them. You are a bunch of tasteless people who are simply insulting our good ingredients."
Jin Chaochao raised an eyebrow, "Descendants of the Tokugawa family?"
"My name is Takeno, and my father is the organizer of this auction."
Jin Chaochao looked at the man carefully. He was handsome, but short in stature. Standing in front of Si Mingye, he did not look intimidating at all.
Jin Chaochao nodded at him and explained, "Everyone is free to choose their own taste in food. A hundred people will have a hundred different preferences. Besides, the ingredients here, sir, are not the best in the world."
"That's right. We also eat fresh food at home. Take this tuna for example... you must have caught it from nearby waters. It doesn't taste as good as the one from the Pacific Ocean, and the variety isn't that rich either." Mu Chuan said casually.
Just one sentence left Takeno speechless.
Jin Chaochao nodded slightly at him, turned around and left with the little ones, preparing to follow the crowd into the auction venue.
After entering the venue, she realized that there were quite a few people coming this time.
Jin Chaochao chose a seat and sat down, with Si Mingye and Mu Chuan on her left and right, and Lan Cai sitting next to Si Mingye.
Yan's mother and Liu Gang stood beside the venue, waiting quietly and paying attention to the safety of the venue at all times.
She had observed that there were wealthy people from all over the world here.
Soon the auction got on track. Jin Chaochao held a number tag in her hand, and Si Mingye and others all had one.
With a number plate, you can hold up the plate independently.
There wasn't much nonsense at the auction, everyone came for the collections.
After a brief opening speech by the auctioneer, the treasures were officially displayed. The first item to be auctioned was an imperial seal.
Si Mingye's eyes widened immediately, and he said in disbelief: "This thing is incredible."
Although Mu Chuan had learned a lot about treasure appraisal, he didn't dare to speak nonsense. Instead, he looked at Jin Chaochao and said, "Sister, what do you think of this one?"
Jin Chaochao chuckled and said, "It's fake!"
Si Mingye was about to raise the sign, but immediately retracted his hand.
"No way, this is too real. I feel that the material is very similar to the Emperor Kangxi's jade seal that I saw last time!"
Jin Chaochao turned around and whispered to him, "There have been hundreds of emperors in Chinese history, and the materials of their jade seals are different. This one is just a high-quality imitation. Just look at it, someone will definitely be fooled."
Sure enough, the bidding became increasingly fierce the next second.
The starting price of the item was 800,000 yuan, but the bid reached 3 million yuan.
Si Mingye was shocked. "That's too much! If I had known, I should have brought Bo Ling with me this time."
Speaking of Bo Ling, Si Mingye was extremely envious.
Now he has passed the civil service exam and works in a museum. He goes abroad to shop on Taobao from time to time and has very good luck.
Many lost cultural relics were recovered for the museum.
He can make a fortune by just picking up a bargain.
If we were to ask who is the richest among this group of people, it would definitely be Bo Ling.
Because the antiques he collected are really valuable.
The money Huo Zheng earned from holding several concerts was not as valuable as a few tattered antiques he picked up outside.
He can be considered a dark horse among them.
The key is that he is usually very low-key. After he was admitted to the civil service and showed his talent, he was deeply loved by the old guys in the antique world and he never became proud.
He takes care of everyone like an older brother.
The first fake item was bought by a blonde couple.
The second lot is a pair of three-inch golden lotus shoes made of gold. They are exquisitely crafted and beautifully designed, but they also represent the tragic fate of women of an era.
Lan Cai said, "This must be a fake!"
Si Mingye was smart this time and did not respond immediately.
Because he doesn't know much about this thing.
Mu Chuan said: "I think it's fake too!"
Jin Chaochao said in a serious tone: "This is true!"
In the late Qing Dynasty, this kind of thing was the dowry of daughters from wealthy families.
Si Mingye asked: "How much is it worth?"
"It has collection value. As for the price, it will not exceed 1 million," Jin Chaochao told the truth.
She sets the price based on market price.
But she was ready to take this thing back.
Historical relics represent an era.
To those who don't understand, it is indeed worthless.
But she wants to collect it!
Because it not only expresses the helplessness of women in history, but also contains the love of parents for their daughters.
The auction begins.
The reserve price was 450,000, and everyone stopped bidding when the price reached 900,000.
Jin Chaochao won it by bidding 910,000.
There are indeed good things in this auction.
At the end of the auction, a pair of Yuan Dynasty blue and white large-bellied vases attracted everyone's attention.
The two bottles are huge in size, and the patterns on them are like gentle and quiet Sleeping Beauty. The exquisite and delicate porcelain makes people marvel.
Si Mingye looked at Jin Chaochao and said, "Sister, this bottle is real."
Since the Zhang family auction, he has specialized in the study of porcelain for two years.
Jin Chaochao gave Si Mingye a look of praise, "Yes, it is indeed real. And it is also the largest pair of bottles in the world."
Mu Chuan clenched his fists. "It's really hateful that such a good thing has fallen into the hands of foreigners."
