Chapter 116: Like picking watermelons at the market
Half an hour passed.
Through the meticulous observation and heated discussions of several old men, they confirmed that these antiques were all real and came from that mysterious dimension - the Dayong Dynasty.
The old man who had just teased Shi Xi for using a suitcase to carry antiques couldn't help but look at Shi Xi with admiration.
When they came, they heard about Shi Xi's background and knew that she was Zhongli Zhengbo's granddaughter.
The wealthy man who spent all his life studying the history of Dayong with his daughter.
When Zhongli Zhengbo was young, the Zhongli family had been on the rich list of Xinghai City and even the national level several times.
However, as he grew older, the group had no official successor, and the Zhongli family gradually declined.
Even now, everyone in the industry knows that when Zhongli's son-in-law changed the group's name, the entire group was about to declare bankruptcy.
For example, among the wealthy people who came to participate in the auction today, there was the "husband" chosen by Shi Guolin for Shi Xue.
"This time, does anyone dare to say that my sister's antiques are fakes?"
Ye Shaoyu speaks with facts and defends Shi Xi in a domineering manner.
Although Shi Xi is so powerful that she doesn't need anyone else to prove anything for her, she is still moved by Ye Shaoyu's actions of protecting her at all times.
No matter how powerful she is, she hopes that someone will always protect her and stand behind her.
"These are absolutely genuine, and judging by the craftsmanship, they must have come from a royal family."
An old man with white hair and a youthful face said this with certainty.
Hearing this, several treasure appraisers around him also nodded in agreement.
"Since there's nothing wrong with the item, and everyone's time is precious, let's get started with the auction!"
Father Ye urged.
He can't wait!
He took a fancy to a bronze deer and was determined to buy it no matter how much the price was.
Because it is not a formal auction, everyone is more casual.
There was no bidding process for each item. Everyone rushed in, chose the ones they liked, and asked Shi Xi the price.
The scene was like picking watermelons in the market.
After you have made your choice, come to Shixi to weigh and pay.
Shi Xi didn't dare to ask for a random price, so she asked the four treasure appraisers to help her estimate the price.
Those who could afford it happily took the antiques home.
If you can’t afford it, there’s no way to bargain and you can only exchange it for another one or give up directly.
If more than two people like an item, the old rules will apply: the highest bidder wins!
Look, the bronze deer that Ye’s father liked was also liked by two wealthy men present.
The price for this little deer was seven million, and they have now driven the price up to thirty million.
Father Yan on the side kept advising them to be humble to each other and not to hurt the harmony.
If it weren’t for the fact that this little deer was so clever in his craftsmanship, who would dare to compete with the Ye family?
"I say, there are so many antiques out there, why do you two have to snatch this deer from me?"
Father Ye's tone sounded a little aggrieved.
He just loves deer!
"Boss Ye, you have no shortage of good things at home, so please give them to me!"
A short and fat man begged desperately.
"No, why should I give it to you?"
"If you have to give it to me, give it to me! Our company has a partnership with Mr. Ye!"
Another Mediterranean man actually started to establish a relationship with her directly.
Seeing this scene, Shi Xi said: ...
Forgive her short-sightedness, but she really couldn't understand what was so special about this little deer!
She couldn't help but said to the two wealthy men:
"Uncles, I have a bronze elephant and peacock at home. If you don't mind, let's make an appointment sometime and I'll sell them to you."
Hearing her words, the two of them smiled instantly.
"My dear niece is so well-behaved and sensible!"
The Mediterranean man wanted to touch the top of Shi Xi's head, but Shi Xi was afraid that she would have the same Mediterranean look as him, so she quickly moved away.
"However, it is really unexpected that there were elephants and peacocks during the Yong Dynasty!"
The short and fat man sighed.
He felt that relying solely on these antiques was far from enough for their historical research on Dayong.
Two hours later, all ten items that Shi Xi brought were sold out, and the next batch of goods was even booked.
Today’s income is 103 million, very good!
The bosses were all very busy. After they were satisfied, they said goodbye to Yan's father and left.
In the end, only the Ye family father and son were left.
They bought two items in total, in addition to the bronze deer, there was also a brass compass.
Although they don't understand Bagua or Yixue, the things they take home as decorations are still exquisite.
"Xixi girl, I have something to say, but I don't know if it's appropriate for uncle to ask."
Father Ye suddenly became hesitant.
Shi Xi smiled generously and said:
"Uncle, feel free to ask anything you want to ask. No need to be polite with me."
As expected of a rich lady from a wealthy family, she is cheerful and straightforward, really great!
"Uncle wants to ask, are these antiques all left by your grandfather?"
Shi Xi nodded.
That was all she could say.
"Is there anything else at home?"
"Approximately how many can there be?"
Father Ye asked carefully.
Shi Xi didn't intend to tell the truth, but just said vaguely:
"Not many left. Whose antiques are scattered all over the floor like cabbages?"
She joked, unable to help but laugh first herself.
Both Ye's father and Yan's father chuckled.
They had a hunch that Shi Xi must have more antiques in his hands, and that the quality would be better than this batch.
Mr. Yan is not an antique dealer and doesn't care about these things.
But Ye's father was different. He knew that his old father was also obsessed with Di Dayong's things, and wanted to get as many as possible from Shi Xi.
"Girl Xixi, I want to hold an antique appreciation meeting in our Ye family in the future."
"We will exhibit all the antiques that our Ye family has collected over the years."
"My father will also fly to Xinghai City to participate."
"The person who comes that day will be one of the richest people in all of China."
"If you want to get a good price for antiques, don't miss it that day!"
Shi Xi looked calm and nonchalant, as if it didn't matter whether she went or not.
"The key is that I'm a socially anxious person. Next time there's an antique auction, I just want to hide in the audience and watch the excitement."
Her words made Ye's father laugh again.
"Don't worry, if you don't want to show up, no one can force you."
"Just treat it as a normal auction."
Father Ye wanted her to relax and not be so nervous.
Shi Xi thought about it and realized that she couldn't rely on the Qi family every time she sold antiques.
Like Yan Ran's jewelry store; and this Yan family's small auction, they are all more opportunities for her.
The Ye family has a good opportunity this time. If wealthy people from all over the country can participate, they will definitely be able to sell it at a higher price.
Even if she had enough money to spend, it would be hard for her not to be moved.
"Okay, then we have a deal!"
Shi Xi confirmed with Ye's father.
Father Ye smiled with satisfaction: "Once the time is confirmed, let Shaoyu tell you."
Shi Xi nodded in agreement.
After chatting with the Ye family father and son for a few more minutes, they finally left. Shi Xi also planned to leave, but before she did, she asked Yan's father about the villa area in Xinghai City. "Sorry, everyone, I'm late today. There's another chapter coming up soon, don't miss it!"
