"Hey, let me tell you, don't show off." Chen Yang picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine.
However, Hugo smiled slightly, and then took out today's "Los Angeles Times" from his briefcase, placed it on the table, and handed it to Chen Yang.
"Look, the news that the Goddess of Eloquence is about to be auctioned in Los Angeles has spread like wildfire. Now almost all collectors in North America have received the news."
Chen Yang looked at the newspaper. It was indeed the Los Angeles Times of that day. When he opened the second page, he saw that it was his statue of the Eloquence Goddess! It is very eye-catching, and the third edition introduces the origin of this statue in detail, as well as some opinions on the auction from various parties!
¡¾Mysterious businessman auctions ancient Indian royal artefacts from two hundred years ago! ¡¿
A huge, eye-catching headline appeared on the pages of the Los Angeles Times, accompanied by a huge close-up of the statue of the Goddess of Eloquence. The second and third pages of the Los Angeles Times are all filled with auction information about this Indian Buddha statue.
"How did the Los Angeles Times get the news?" Garcia asked.
"The Los Angeles Times, as the largest print media in Los Angeles, has been paying attention to the auction of this collection since a week ago. In fact, not only him, but even some Indian media are paying attention to this matter."
In fact, it is not unusual for the auction process to be exposed in advance. With the information explosion in today's society, no secret can be airtight. Moreover. The display and auction of this kind of Indian national treasure antique is like a pebble thrown into a pond, which will soon stir up waves.
However, what Chen Yang didn¡¯t expect was that the news would spread so quickly!
"Chen, you are now the most mysterious figure in the North American collecting circle. Hahaha!" Hugo laughed heartily and patted Chen Yang on the shoulder.
Chen Yang blinked, raised his head, and saw that on the TV in the restaurant, it was the evening news of the day, which happened to be broadcasting the news that the Eloquence Goddess was about to be auctioned in Los Angeles. Of course, in the news, the anchor repeatedly mentioned the mysterious businessman who owned the statue of the goddess of eloquence more than once.
"Chen, now, the statue of the goddess of eloquence is no longer afraid of not being able to sell for a good price, haha!" Hugo said with a smile.
"Yes, the statue of the Goddess of Eloquence has successfully attracted the attention of international collectors. It will definitely fetch a good price at this auction!" Garcia, who is usually calm, was also a little excited.
However, at this time, Chen Yang frowned and drank all the red wine in the glass in front of him. Then he frowned and looked around, looking a little worried. But fortunately, if you think about it carefully, there are still some people in Phillips Auction House who only have integrity and have not revealed Chen Yang's true identity to the outside world.
¡°Otherwise, according to Chen Yang¡¯s character, he would definitely be so frightened that he couldn¡¯t sleep at night. Wealth should not be revealed, but gold should be hidden in plain sleeves. This is a centuries-old saying of Chinese ancestors
The next day, Chen Yang stayed in the room doing nothing but chatting online using the free wifi provided by the hotel.
By then the auction had basically ended, and Chen Yang had a plan to take her to Los Angeles for a day or two before returning to San Diego.
Two days later, the auction officially began.
The venue was the Rodeo Drive Hotel in Beverly Hills. The hotel has its own auditorium, which is divided into two floors. It looks like an old-fashioned theater. It is beautifully decorated and the waiters are courteous. Chen Yang arrived earlier. , but at this time there were already many guests in the auditorium.
Phillips Auction House has prepared a luxurious VIP box for Chen Yang, which is on the second floor of the auditorium. There are independent partitions that separate other rooms. The Phillips Auction House even arranged for two security guards in suits, who were as strong as calves, to stand outside the box. They wore headsets and monitored everything around them at all times. They looked very similar. FBI in the movie.
There are a wide variety of snacks and desserts in the box, from potato chips, pistachios, and hazelnuts. From fine cheeses, cheeses, and desserts, we have them all, and they¡¯re all free. You can even order food if you want. After Chen Yang sat in, he took a look at the French foie gras, sirloin steak, and various other delicacies. Of course, these are charged separately and are quite expensive.
The auction officially started at 9:30 in the morning. According to the auction brochure, there was nothing special about the first few collections auctioned.
Several bottles of aged red wine and some modern Indian cultural handicrafts. Chen Yang didn't care much. After all, he had no interest in collecting.
However, the first two auction items were successfully sold at prices of US$35,000 and US$20,000 respectively.After ??. Despite the low prices, in fact, the prices of red wine and handicrafts in China have never been high. But converted into RMB, it¡¯s still a high price of hundreds of thousands!
"Okay, next we will show the fourth collection that is about to be auctioned! An ancient Ming Dynasty manuscript from an ancient eastern country - the secret of Qingnang!"
When the auctioneer placed the third collection on the stand and said the name of the collection, Chen Yang couldn't help but stand up from his seat.
"This is a manuscript of an ancient book from an ancient oriental country, "The Secret of Qing Sang". It was written by the miracle doctor Hua Tuo at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, it was later lost due to wars and other factors, but this is a manuscript from the Ming Dynasty! Written by Hua Tuo Tuo's apprentice taught it to future generations. Now, a Japanese collector entrusts the auction house to conduct the auction! Now, the starting price is fifteen thousand US dollars! Each bid is ten thousand US dollars."
"It's real or fake! The manuscripts from the Ming Dynasty span so many years that it's hard to tell the authenticity!"
"Ten thousand US dollars is not a lot of money. But I am afraid that I will buy a fake!"
"Don't think about it, it must be fake!"
In the hall, several businessmen with Chinese faces communicated in Mandarin. Obviously they are familiar with Chinese history and culture, and everyone knows that the real "Qing Nang Secret" written by Hua Tuo has long been lost. How can future generations have a manuscript of the Qing Nang Secret?
However, Chen Yang, who was sitting in the box on the second floor, stroked the frame on the bridge of his nose. Ten meters away, on the booth in the center of the hall, the book Secrets of Youth seemed to have a magical power attracting him!
He subconsciously touched the miracle doctor glasses on the bridge of his nose, but suddenly, a strange thought came from the secret book of Qingsang downstairs ten meters away in the synagogue! Moreover, it is extremely miraculous that it has some kind of connection with the lens on the bridge of Chen Yang's nose!
It feels like a pet that has been lost for many years and meets its owner on the road! The secret of the green sac inside the glass cover of the booth actually made me want to fly to Chen Yang eagerly!
"Damn it, couldn't this book be the true biography of Hua Tuo?" Chen Yang subconsciously stroked the frame of the mirror. However, there is a certain relationship between the glasses on the bridge of the nose and the book "Secrets of Green Sacs" ten meters away. Chen Yang feels that it is the heroic spirit of Hua Tuo in these lenses, urging Chen Yang to get the book quickly. Same as hands!
"Twenty-five thousand dollars!"
At this moment, Chen Yang raised his hand.
¡°Hey, man, are you crazy?¡±
At this time, a white man closest to Chen Yang said.
Chen Yang smiled and nodded, looking silly like a rich second-generation man who was both rich and dishonest.
You know, in recent years, ancient book auctions have become more and more popular. Chen Yang alone knew that there was once an ancient book from the late Qing Dynasty in China that sold for a high price of 100,000 yuan! And many rich people are becoming more and more interested in collecting ancient book fragments. This does not mean that they take them back to read, but mostly just to improve their own skills.
Therefore, when Chen Yang asked for a price, some people immediately thought that he was a second-generation rich man who had no collecting experience and came into the market with hot money.
"This looks like a fake. This guy is actually a treasure? I don't know which family he belongs to."
"Isn't it okay for people to be willful if they have money?"
"Come on, if I had a son like this, I would have to shut him down and break his leg, lest he go out and lose his family and be embarrassed."
Several Chinese businessmen were located next to Chen Yang's treasure chest. They seemed to be from China. They didn't talk loudly, but their voices were all heard by Chen Yang.
"You have to know that your grandfather didn't leave much cash property. Are you sure you want to use him to auction such a book?"
Garcia reminded Chen Yang on the side that before coming to the United States, the inheritance Chen Yang inherited naturally included some cash, no more, no less, exactly thirty thousand.
"Should we ask Hugo, he is an expert in this field." Garcia said.
"No need, I don't think anyone here will compete with me for this fragment of an ancient book that I don't know is authentic." Chen Yang smiled, his smile was so confident.
However, his words were quickly confirmed. Among the nearly a hundred collectors and businessmen present, none of them could compete with Chen Yang. Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, this was a fake manuscript. After all, all of Hua Tuo's masterpieces handed down from generation to generation have been lost and damaged, and there is no way to distinguish the authenticity of this secret book.
Everyone thought it was fake, so naturally no one could argue with Chen Yang.
Soon, the staff of the auction house delivered the manuscript of "The Secret of Green Bag" that Chen Yang had won in the bid to the box.
It was a yellow fragment of an ancient book, with some corners missing and the paper yellowing. It was placed in a delicate box made of golden nanmu. Inside the box are placed Sichuan peppercorns, tobacco leaves and cloud herbs, which repel insects and are good at preserving rare ancient books. At the same time, there is a smell of quicklime on the books, which is to prevent moisture.
Chen Yang squinted his eyes, carefully opened the yellow cloth and satin wrapping the ancient book in the wooden box, opened a corner, and took out the "Secrets of the Qing Sang" from the box.
