This auction was organized by Christie's auction house, and the scale was quite large. Almost all the rich people in Hong Kong, including the top ten wealthy families, were invited to participate.
Although most of the people who came were young, the funds that could be used were very considerable. It was even possible to use an astronomical amount of funds for a very good auction item.
The Qu family was one of the top ten wealthy families in Hong Kong. Qu Yuancheng and Qin Fang sat at the front. Kong Er didn't try to avoid suspicion and sat with Qin Fang.
Several people were talking and laughing. Obviously, they didn't take what had just happened to heart.
Yamamoto was indeed a little overbearing, but this was Hong Kong, not Japan. The Qu family and the Kong family were the local tyrants of Hong Kong. Even Master Long of Xin 'an had to give them some face.
It couldn't be helped. The Yamaguchi-gumi had a lot of people, but as one of the top ten wealthy families in Hong Kong, it was hard to say who was better than the other!
Qin Fang and the others had just sat down when Yamamoto followed them into the venue. As a result, he sat not far from Qin Fang and the others. They were only a few seats apart, looking at each other from afar.
Although Yamamoto's identity wasn't very high, the Yamaguchi-gumi's reputation in Asia was still quite strong. Although the auction house's business was both legal and illegal, they were still relatively polite to organizations like the Yamaguchi-gumi. Therefore, Yamamoto was able to sit at the front.
Qin Fang and the others didn't care too much about it. This was the arrangement of the auction house. They didn't have to oppose it. They just sat there calmly, chatting with each other while reading the brochure which recorded the introduction of all kinds of auction items that were sent to them.
The scale of this auction wasn't small. It wasn't that there were many auction items, nor was it that lasted for a long time. It was that almost every auction item was priceless.
Qin Fang simply glanced at the starting price of these items. The lowest price he saw was 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. The final price would definitely be an astronomical figure.
Although the last few treasures on the brochure were not printed, the starting price was given. The lowest price was three million Hong Kong dollars, and the most expensive one reached a sky-high price of ten million Hong Kong dollars …
"Qin Fang, is there anyone you like?"
In fact, Qu Yuancheng had already taken a look at the auction before it was held, but he did not pay much attention to it. Other than the last three unknown auction items, there was nothing that caught his eye.
This time, it was Qin Fang who took the initiative to come. Naturally, Qin Fang took the lead. Seeing Qin Fang flip through the brochure, he asked casually.
"It's hard to say … Let's wait until the real thing is displayed!"
It was just that Qin Fang shook his head. These brochures had already described some of the information of each auction item very clearly.
But those pictures were just photos. Some antique experts could naturally distinguish the authenticity of these treasures, but Qin Fang didn't have this ability. Secondly, he came here specifically to pick up the scraps. Naturally, he had to see the real thing before he could make a decision.
"That's true … Then let's wait and see!"
Qu Yuancheng nodded and didn't say much. He sat there quietly, waiting for the auction to officially begin …
On the other hand, Kong Er sat on the side and whispered something to the female celebrity's female companion. He seemed to be more concerned about a certain auction item this time.
Looking at his posture, it seemed that he intended to bid for a certain auction item and give it to this female celebrity. He was really willing to spend money … For Kong Er's performance, Qin Fang had nothing to say. He was not surprised!
"Feifei, which one do you like?
I will bid for it for you … We are not short of money! "
Seeing that Tang Feifei was very serious about appreciating some of the auction items in the brochures, Qin Fang immediately patted his chest and promised, as if it was not money at all.
There were a lot of auction items in this auction. They were mainly antiques, calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, and so on from Long Province, but there were also some foreign antiques, oil paintings, manuscripts, and even some jewelry and so on.
Tang Feifei was not very interested in those antiques, but she was particularly concerned about those jewelry. After all, she was a woman. There was no woman who didn't like this kind of jewelry. Even Tang Feifei was no exception.
When Qin Fang was talking, he had been paying attention to the changes in Tang Feifei's expression. For example, her eyes stayed on a certain auction item for a long time, or she couldn't help but return to the front to look at it again after looking at it, and so on …
So, after such a simple observation, Qin Fang already knew which auction item Tang Feifei was tempted by …
When the guests of the auction gradually arrived, and the scheduled time of the auction had also arrived, the auction began immediately.
The auction house also attached great importance to this auction. They specially invited a very famous auctioneer in the auction industry to come over, just so that this auction could have a very satisfactory ending.
"Now, I announce that this auction officially begins …"
"Let's welcome the first auction item, this is from …"
Following the auctioneer's rhythmic voice, one by one, the auction items were slowly pushed out from the back. These auction items were all stored in very safe bulletproof glass containers.
The main purpose was to prevent them from being damaged, and at the same time to reduce some unnecessary contact …
Of course, some auction items such as bells, cauldrons, porcelain, and so on would be in a full glass cover, which could be observed from all angles.
These auction items were basically appraised by many appraisers in the auction house before they were put up for auction, so these auction items were basically authentic, and the possibility of fakes was quite low.
This was also mainly because the identities of these buyers were not ordinary, and the auction house did not want to ruin their reputation. If there were some treasures that the auction house could not identify, they would not be put up for auction … At least, they would not be put up for auction in this auction.
The auction items had undergone extremely strict appraisal. The rate of fakes would be quite low, and the probability of making a mistake was also very low, so the possibility of picking up a good item was also very slim.
This also cast a shadow on Qin Fang's purpose this time.
But Qin Fang would not care too much about this. If there were really treasures that were worthy of his bid, he would not care about taking out a sum of money to auction it.
Although the money would most likely go to the foreigners who had stolen the treasures from Chidragon, he would still slowly get the money back from these people. In fact, he would even do more to get the money back …
"One million!"
The first few auction items were just some small things. For some hobbyists, they were indeed good things, but Qin Fang's interest was not very big.
When this auction item was sent up, Qin Fang was surprised to bid …
"One million and two hundred thousand!"
But before he could set the price, someone immediately increased the price.
And this voice was a bit familiar. Qin Fang almost subconsciously glanced in that direction and found Yamamoto looking at him with a smug face.
Obviously, the person who was against him was Yamamoto, who he had a conflict with before …
"One million and five hundred thousand!"
Qin Fang didn't care. His face was very indifferent as he called another price, and immediately raised it a lot.
This auction item was a very good Ru kiln brush washer. It was a very good high-quality porcelain. The starting price was five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. Basically, the market price should be between one million and one million and five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.
If the auction price went any higher, it would basically be a loss for the seller …
But the problem was that in such an auction, most of the shouting earned from this kind of auction was the contempt, ridicule, and sarcasm of other guests.
Who would be this spendthrift? Others might not say it, but they must have a lot of ideas in their hearts.
Qin Fang was not really interested in this Ru kiln brush washer, but he knew that Qiao Zhenfei liked such treasures. This was a relatively rare boutique, so he had this idea and prepared to bid for it and give it to Qiao Zhenfei.
"Two million …"
Qiao Zhenfei's help to Qin Fang was great. It was even no less than his brother-in-law, Tangcheng. Qin Fang was also very grateful to him. He had long wanted to give him something, but he had never met the right thing.
Money was not a problem. With Qin Fang's current net worth, he didn't care about this one million and eight hundred thousand. He immediately raised his paddle again, and the price was raised a lot.
"Two million and five hundred thousand!"
Yamamoto really hated Qin Fang to the bone. Almost as soon as Qin Fang bid, he immediately increased the price.
Wow ~ ~
It was just that when this price came out, some people in the venue suddenly burst into laughter. This number was really too sensitive.
"This Yamamoto Ken is really like his name. He's really cheap …"
Qu Yuancheng and Konger naturally also found out that Yamamoto had messed up the situation. Konger's mouth was very unceremoniously mocking Yamamoto.
Yamamoto's full name was Yamamoto Kenjiro. Usually, people called him Yamamoto Ken. When he came to Hong Kong, he directly called him Yamamoto. Now, Konger just didn't like him, so he said that.
"It's okay … Three million!"
Qin Fang shook his head indifferently, and then immediately bid again.
"Four million!"
"Two million and five hundred thousand" Yamamoto didn't understand what others were laughing at. When he saw Qin Fang bid again, he was too lazy to think about other things and hurriedly raised his paddle to increase the price.
He didn't know if this kid had too much money to burn, or if he really hated Qin Fang to the bone. He didn't care about the actual value of this Ru Kiln Brush Washer at all. As long as he saw Qin Fang increase the price, he would unceremoniously offer a higher price …
Such a tit-for-tat situation suddenly focused many people's attention on the two young people, Qin Fang and Yamamoto. It seemed that they wanted to see how these two people would end up!
