"Why?
You like it? "
Qin Fang felt that he had suppressed his emotions very well, but Qiao Zhenfei, who was sitting next to him, still felt that Qin Fang at this time was obviously different from the previous Qin Fang, so he couldn't help but ask.
"En, this copybook looks very good!"
Hearing this, Qin Fang was also slightly stunned, then he nodded in agreement.
Although he had practiced calligraphy for some time, in fact, the calligraphy he wrote with a brush was barely readable. It was still quite far from the standard.
As for appreciation, there was no need to even mention it. If he were to really say what was so good about the words on this copybook, he really couldn't say.
"Oh, I remember now. Old Master Tang is quite fond of calligraphy. Are you planning to cater to his liking?
… I'll help you take a look … "
Fortunately, Qiao Zhenfei didn't think too much. Seeing that Qin Fang seemed to like this copybook a little, perhaps he also felt that Qin Fang wanted to give this copybook as a congratulatory gift to Old Master Tang, so he simply stood up and went to appraise this copybook.
It didn't take long for Qiao Zhenfei to come back shaking his head.
"How is it?"
Although Qin Fang had decided to get this copybook, no, this prescription at all costs, he still couldn't help but ask.
He was the only one who knew about the prescription, and it was hidden in this copybook. Ordinary people only regarded it as a calligraphy work, but Qin Fang regarded it as an absolute treasure.
The Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup that Qiao Zhenfei had taken a fancy to before was definitely a first-class good in the hands of collectors. It was an absolute treasure, but in Qin Fang's view, that thing was not even one-thousandth of the value of the prescription in front of him.
For a prescription to need such a copybook to cover it up, its value was definitely not simple.
It was called the Heart Repairing Pill, and it should be a prescription related to the heart. The specifics had to wait for Qin Fang to get the prescription, then learn it and add it to the prescription under the pharmaceutical skills. Only then would the real use of this prescription be revealed.
"This copybook should be a copybook from the Song Dynasty, but it was not made by a famous master, and there is no recognition, so the value is not high …"
Qiao Zhenfei's ultimate love was porcelain, and he put a lot of effort into it. Next was calligraphy and painting. Although he wasn't very proficient, his eyesight was quite good.
However, all antique collectors knew that the value of a collectible, especially a painting or calligraphy collectible, in addition to its own level of skill, the identity of the author, its origin, the knowledge of various famous experts, and even the completeness of the collection were all factors in determining its value.
As for the calligraphy in front of him, the handwriting on it should be quite good. Although it was not at the level of calligraphy masters like Mi Fu and Huang Tingjian, it was quite profound. It was indeed a masterpiece. Moreover, it was well preserved and had a certain value.
However, other than the words, there was nothing else. The year, the author's seal, the appraisal stamp, and so on were all gone, which reduced its collection value.
Of course, if one could find out its true origin, some historical allusions, and so on, it would still be worth some points, but that required a lot of work.
"Hehe, I'm not in the collection business, so I don't value those …"
Qin Fang just listened to Qiao Zhenfei's evaluation and expressed his indifference. Even if Qiao Zhenfei criticized this copybook as worthless, Qin Fang would definitely buy it for this prescription.
"That's true. Old Master Tang has seen all kinds of good calligraphy works. Some famous works are just icing on the cake. If such a good work is sent as a birthday gift, the value will be more attractive than those …"
Qiao Zhenfei had his own understanding of Qin Fang's words, and Qin Fang couldn't explain anything, so he smiled indifferently.
"Don't worry. Even if you like it, brother, then I will absolutely support you!"
Although Qiao Zhenfei lost the bid for the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup, Qin Fang still supported him at the critical moment. Although Qiao Zhenfei lent the five hundred thousand in cash to Qin Fang, Qin Fang had already said that he would transfer the money to Qiao Zhenfei's bank account first. However, Qiao Zhenfei didn't care about the five hundred thousand and directly said that he would give it to Qin Fang.
At the critical moment, Qin Fang didn't hesitate at all. He directly returned the five hundred thousand to Qiao Zhenfei, which made Qiao Zhenfei feel a little touched in his heart.
He was like this. He had his own principles in dealing with people. He didn't care that the five hundred thousand in cash in Qin Fang's hand was given out by him, but he was very concerned that Qin Fang didn't hesitate to take it out to help him at that time. Qin Fang didn't realize it, but Qiao Zhenfei felt that he owed Qin Fang a favor.
Five hundred thousand in cash was a huge sum of money for most people, but for a top young master like Qiao Zhenfei and a billionaire like Qin Fang, it was really not a big sum of money.
"Thank you, Brother Fei …"
Qin Fang immediately expressed his gratitude to Qiao Zhenfei. He was also silently praying that no one would call a particularly high price. Then, he would definitely regret that he brought too little cash.
But even so, Qin Fang still thought about bringing more cash with him in the future. Anyway, the number of slots in his prop box had doubled. It shouldn't be a problem to leave a space to store cash.
"Okay, everyone has finished the appraisal. Then, the auction officially begins. The starting price is thirty thousand!
Pa … "
As the hammer in the host's hand slowly fell, the auction of this copybook officially began.
Qin Fang was almost the first to raise his hand to bid, but before he could move, he was stopped by Qiao Zhenfei.
"Don't rush. Let's explore the situation first …"
This was also because Qin Fang didn't have much experience in auctioning. When he saw such a good thing, he couldn't wait to buy it directly as soon as he bid. If this auction was like the auction house in the online game, where there was a fixed price, Qin Fang would definitely not hesitate to buy it directly. Even if it was ten times or a hundred times the starting price, it didn't matter.
Money could be earned, but such a prescription was quite rare. Perhaps there was only one left in the world. If he couldn't get it, Qin Fang would definitely regret it for a long time.
Qin Fang rose from the grassroots. It had only been a few months. He had participated in an auction once. That was the Mingshi Salon a few months ago. However, at that time, he was just an audience. The real bidders were Tangcheng and Ning Weiqiang. Of course, Chen Jiangnan could be counted as one too.
Therefore, he was simply a layman for this kind of bidding auction.
Although there were quite a lot of people sitting here, and they seemed to be buyers with cash, there was no guarantee that there were no shills arranged by the seller. When they saw that you were determined to get it, they would immediately raise the price. Anyway, they didn't have to pay any handling fees when they bought it back. At most, they would find a chance to arrange it next time and take it out to bid again.
Such tricks were quite common. Even if the buyer knew that there might be shills in it, as long as the price was not too outrageous, they could accept it.
"Is there no one bidding?
Although this copybook doesn't have a signature, it is definitely a good thing. If its provenance is tested, it will definitely be worth a hundred times more. The starting price of thirty thousand yuan is really not very high … "
It could be said that this was the first auction item that no one bid on in the black market auction. Perhaps his starting price was too high. Of course, this had nothing to do with the buyer not being optimistic about its collectible value.
Most of these buyers were involved in personal collections. Professional things like testing the provenance of antiques were more suitable for those archaeologists. Most of these buyers were not short of money, so they didn't have the mood to do this kind of thing.
"Ai, don't waste time. Hurry up!
I will pay thirty thousand yuan for this … "
At this moment, there was a temporary awkward silence. Qiao Zhenfei suddenly yelled out in a very displeased manner and directly threw out a base price.
Listening to his words and the expression on his face, many people thought that he wanted to speed up the auction. After all, at this time, the Cheng Hua Doucai Chicken Cup had set off a climax in the auction. If such a treasure could not be used as the finale, it could be seen that there were definitely more treasures behind.
If all the auction items were delayed like this, then the more anxious they would be. One or two rich second-generation heirs who were not short of money would come out to speed up the auction. This was also a common occurrence. Now, Qiao Zhenfei was undoubtedly playing such a role.
Seeing Qiao Zhenfei's bid, Qin Fang was stunned at first. Then, he couldn't help but smile a little. At the same time, he secretly gave Qiao Zhenfei a thumbs up.
This move was really good!
He called out the price quietly, but no one would notice them.
In addition, Qiao Zhenfei had just lost the bid for the Cheng Hua Doucai Chicken Cup. Many people felt that he was angry in his heart. He was probably going to be ruthless with the following treasures, so it was understandable to speed up the process.
"This gentleman called for thirty thousand yuan!
Thirty thousand, thirty thousand, is there anyone higher? "
Hearing Qiao Zhenfei's bid, the host also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the price was a little low, it was much more practical than letting this thing rot in his hands.
"Thirty thousand once …"
"Thirty thousand twice …"
"Thirty thousand times …"
Except for Qiao Zhenfei's bid, no one else participated in the bid. The host seemed to want to satisfy Qiao Zhenfei's plan to speed up the auction process. He bid again and again, and soon it was the third time.
"I bid fifty thousand yuan!"
But before Qin Fang's heart had time to relax, someone suddenly called out such a higher price, which suddenly made Qin Fang's face turn cold.
At the last moment, someone suddenly came out of nowhere. Anyone would be very unhappy in their heart.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw that the person who called the price was the fat coal boss who had snatched Qiao Zhenfei's Cheng Hua Doucai Chicken Cup. At this time, he was looking at Qiao Zhenfei with a provocative face, as if he wanted to compete with Qiao Zhenfei again.
Qiao Zhenfei's face also changed. He didn't expect this fat coal boss to secretly interfere at this time, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose.
Originally, he was still thinking about how to get the Cheng Hua Doucai Chicken Cup, but this fat guy was so reckless and took the initiative to bump into Qiao Zhenfei's hand.
"Good, good … You have guts!"
Qiao Zhenfei's eyes looked at the fat man opposite him, and his mouth spat out these few words coldly. It could be seen how angry he was at this time.
A top-notch young master like him mingled in the capital's top circle. He didn't lack money, women, or power. What he wanted was face. If anyone dared to slap his face, he would hang them up and skin them alive to light a lantern.
Qin Fang had no choice but to grab Qiao Zhenfei's arm and exert a little force. How powerful was the + 25 strength? Qiao Zhenfei immediately felt pain, and only then was he pulled back from the state of anger and didn't let Qiao Zhenfei fly into a rage directly here.
"I bid one hundred thousand yuan!"
Seeing that Qiao Zhenfei's anger had calmed down a little, Qin Fang spoke up himself.
Qin Fang was also a little puzzled. Why did the fat coal boss go against Qiao Zhenfei? It seemed like he was targeting him. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Fei, do you know that fat man?"
"I don't remember …"
Qiao Zhenfei shook his head. He was angry in his heart, but he felt much better now. "You're really strong, kid. It hurts …"
This result was also within Qin Fang's expectations. Logically speaking, if he knew Qiao Zhenfei, then he would definitely know his identity. However, if he knew his identity and still dared to go against him so openly, then he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
However, the real reason was probably only the fat coal boss himself. Anyway, it didn't have much to do with Qin Fang. He just wanted to get the prescription, even if he had to pay a higher price.
"One hundred and twenty thousand yuan!"
The fat man saw that Qiao Zhenfei was silent, and Qin Fang, who was next to Qiao Zhenfei, started to exert his strength. His expression suddenly changed a little, but then he raised the price again.
"One hundred and fifty thousand yuan!
This is our highest price. If you exceed this price, you can take it away … "
Seeing that the fat man was still bidding, Qin Fang's expression didn't change. He immediately bid a higher price and expressed his intention very clearly.
The starting price of thirty thousand yuan was one hundred and fifty thousand yuan. This definitely made the seller's mouth crooked. Of course, if there was a higher price, they would be even happier.
"One hundred and fifty thousand yuan. This gentleman bid one hundred and fifty thousand yuan. Is there a higher price?"
The host couldn't help but shout as he stared at the coal boss. Now, only he could bid a higher price.
"I give up …"
However, no one knew what the fat man was thinking. It seemed that when he saw that Qiao Zhenfei wasn't bidding, he felt that it was meaningless, so he didn't continue to compete with Qin Fang.
"One hundred and fifty thousand yuan!
One hundred and fifty thousand yuan!
Congratulations to this gentleman for winning this Song Dynasty copybook at the price of one hundred and fifty thousand yuan! "
As the host's auction mallet fell heavily, this copybook, or rather this prescription, finally fell into the hands of Qin Fang.
