Chapter 152 Competition for Tang Dynasty Murals
Everyone was wrapped up warmly, but he only wore an overcoat.

"It's not cold, but I'm not an ordinary person." Wen Zhi smiled.

Shen You subconsciously looked at the other two people, but they had already gone far away.

Although he didn't hear it, Gu Shaoyu still had some respect for him. In order to prefer grace over warmth, he originally wanted to do the same, and he would be obedient after being blown twice.

Why is Mr. Wen in such good health?
In the evening they had dinner at a local specialty restaurant. They couldn't stand a single bite of the traditional pickled fish, but the sausages, reindeer meat, salmon and Viking beer were pretty good, just average to their taste.

That night, I found a good place according to the guide and prepared to watch the aurora. I went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, seasonings, charcoal, and set up a grill.

Barbecue, beer, and the beautiful scenery in front of you are so comfortable.

"I remember now. This is how it happens in horror movies. Several young men and women come to a house for vacation, and then all kinds of horrible things happen. This house doesn't seem to have any defenses." Gu Shaoyu suddenly spoke, quite worriedly.

Shen You, who was eating skewers, said calmly in a horror story-telling tone, "That's right, your room on the second floor is easy for someone to climb up to!"

Gu Shaoyu was startled and quickly took out his cell phone to check the security situation here.

"There are aurora!" Shen You exclaimed and stood up suddenly.

A flickering green light appeared under the starry sky. The light visible to the naked eye is limited, and the aurora is not particularly strong, so it looks a little dim, but it is absolutely beautiful when captured with a mobile phone.

This trip, Shen You finally fulfilled his dream. He saw the aurora as soon as he arrived here. It was worth the money!
For the rest of the time, they did not go around everywhere. This kind of place was suitable for a quiet life. They could eat while enjoying the scenery in the house decorated with a lot of wood.

Shen You asked Gu Shaoyu to hire a local real estate salesperson. He is a foreigner but they are from the same hometown so there is no language barrier.

This place is perfect for someone like her who likes to stay at home. She really likes it.

I want to buy a second-hand holiday villa that is fully equipped with everything. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to buy it myself. The transportation and labor costs in this place are quite expensive.

Such good holiday villas are usually bought by foreigners who are not short of money. There is no suitable one to sell now, so Shen You is not in a hurry.

She also wants to visit other places sometime and choose a house with her favorite scenery for vacation.

Soon, the day of the antique auction arrived.

The first show was just some small stuff, so Shen You and the others didn’t go and went straight to the evening show.

She changed into a cheongsam with wide inverted sleeves made of floating brocade, and paired it with a shawl. The hairpin she used on her head was a really old item, the simplest hairpin from the phoenix crown that Wen Zhi took out from the Da Qi Palace.

It's not eye-catching, but it's very presentable in this kind of occasion.

The outfit that Gu Shaoyu had carefully prepared finally came in handy. When preparing, Wen Zhi asked Shen You to choose, and she directly chose a light brown, loose-fitting suit.

I've seen him wear dark colors many times. He looks a lot more sunny in this color.

The people who came to shoot this scene were basically from the same hometown. Some were wearing suits and playing with walnuts or Buddhist beads in their hands. There was also someone wearing the same Tang suits of different textures as the Tai Chi team in the park and walking into the elegant room above.

Shen You was also the one in the middle. She was holding agarwood in a coil and had an eighteen-bead collarbone pinned on the buttons of her cheongsam. She was also sitting in a private room.

Originally, she would not be given a private room upstairs, but at the preview that day, after the organizer saw the fire-resistant cloth, they took the initiative to contact her to make arrangements.

Therefore, she was the youngest person sitting in the private room at the auction.

"Everyone has left, why are you still watching?" Qiu Linlin gritted her teeth.

Qin Ping didn't bother to explain. What he saw was that they all used their family's names to get the invitation letters to board the ship, while Shen You, who had no family background, was sitting in the seat of an honored guest.

You know, the seats there are reserved for people who can wave and take pictures of objects worth hundreds of millions.

With her background, she can get into the antique circle. Even if she used some means to get here, it is because of her ability.

The auction has begun.

Everyone was quite cautious about the items in the previous auction, and two items of doubt were not sold. A Qing Dynasty famille rose porcelain plate was sold for more than 40 million yuan, and a Northern Song Dynasty Ding kiln white porcelain was sold for more than 9 million yuan.

There are times when you can find bargains at auctions.

Shen You waited until the blue-glazed bowl with cloud dragon pattern went up for auction, and the starting price was only one million.

Soon it reached two million.

Two million and four hundred thousand, if you want to compete for a price higher than this, you will have to hesitate.

Shen You raised the sign at this time, and after several rounds of bidding, he finally bought it for 2.8 million.

Currently, there are relatively few pieces of imperial blue glaze that can be sold at high prices, generally only in the million-level.

The value of products from the Ming Dynasty Xuande period and the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng period is higher. A blue and white fish bowl from the Xuande period was once auctioned for more than 40 million yuan.

When this item was exhibited, it was only said to be from the Qing Dynasty, but the year was not specified. The shape is the most common, so people who are not sure will not bid for it.

Shen You thought it was something from the Yongzheng period, so even if he was wrong, the loss would not be too much.

Then came bronze ware and murals.

The price of that Western Zhou bronze ritual vessel started at RMB 1.2 million, then RMB million, and it is still being auctioned.

"Damn, these big guys are too scary." Gu Shaoyu whispered, "They are the same bronze artifacts, why are the prices so different? The cheaper ones in the front are hundreds of thousands."

"It has a different meaning." Shen You said, "This is a ceremonial vessel that has been treasured by the royal families of all dynasties. It has survived so many wars without being damaged or lost. There are not many bronze vessels that can be sold at such a high price."

In the end, only two foreign collectors and a domestic hidden rich man were left bidding, and the total transaction amounted to 1.5 million yuan.

Without a doubt, this was the highest price of the session, and the pretty girl who was hammering on it was very excited.

Shen You was also a little shocked. So much money, at this moment, seemed like just a string of numbers.

For truly wealthy people, one or two hundred million is just a drop in the bucket.

She can afford it, but she won't spend so much money. If she really wants to collect it, she will choose to trade in other dimensions.

Not many people took pictures of the mural at the back because it was so badly damaged. A wealthy businessman who lived a small life was competing with Shen You.

It cost more than one million, and was sold for more than two million.

Ordinarily, such items would be easier to buy, but now the prices are obviously much higher than expected.

She really suspected that the other party did it on purpose, and no one on their side would fix it if she took the photo back.

Shen You also learned from Wen Zhi and went straight to the higher level of difficulty, spending more than 49 million RMB, or US dollars.

It depends on whether the other party dares to spend so much money to buy a mural that may not be able to be restored.

The first hammer fell, then the second hammer. The competitors below hesitated for a long time, watching the auctioneer's actions, wanting to press forward but unable to make up their minds.

He kept hitting her, and Shen You just ran away.

If the mural was in good condition, he could get 10 million for it, but it was so damaged that he didn't know if it could be repaired.

Having money doesn't mean you are willing to spend so much money to buy a piece of adobe.

Without the painting above, it would just be a piece of adobe made from sand mixed with grass and mud from the Tang Dynasty.

After hesitating, he decided to raise the card, but just one second later, the third hammer fell and the deal was done!
