Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 392 The Abandoned Young Woman 37

In the end, Du Xiuyue helped Gu Nuanyi find a treasure appraiser.

When the treasure appraiser saw the vase that Gu Nuanyi took out, he immediately took out his glasses from his pocket with trembling hands and put them on. He carefully held the vase and looked around carefully.

Seeing this, Du Xiuyue poked Gu Nuanyi in confusion: "Could it be the real thing?"

Gu Nuanyi shrugged: "If I could see it, I wouldn't need to hire a master."

After a long time, the treasure appraiser carefully put down the vase, took off his glasses and said, "Girl, is your vase real? It is from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. I will offer one million. Will you sell it?"

Gu Nuanyi raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that this old master was quite rich. However, the 100 million yuan offer was a bit low and did not reach the price she expected.

When the old master saw that Gu Nuanyi didn't answer, he knew it was hopeless. He looked at the vase with some regret. He really wanted to collect it...

Du Xiuyue glanced at the vase and said, "Nuan Yi, since this is a real antique, what are you going to do?"

Of course you have to pay a master craftsman to appraise it. Gu Nuanyi said as she took out the money: "If the price is right, sell it. If not, keep it as a vase. It looks pretty nice just like this, doesn't it?"

The old master dropped the money he had just received because of his shaking hands, and his voice unconsciously rose an octave: "As a vase?? What a waste of resources!! It would be better if you sold it to me."

Gu Nuanyi's mouth twitched: "Master, don't get excited, it's just a vase, it's okay for me to put flowers in it, right?"

The old master said with great sorrow: "It is fine... but it is an antique! Don't you think it is too extravagant to use an antique vase to arrange flowers?"

"It doesn't matter if it's an antique or not, as long as it can be used for flower arrangement." Gu Nuanyi squatted down, picked up the money scattered on the ground and handed it back to the master.

The old master sighed quietly, and knowing that Gu Nuanyi was not going to sell it to him, he took the money and strode out.

When I walked to the door, I looked back reluctantly. The vase really touched my eyes!

After the master left, Du Xiuyue asked, "Nuan Yi, how much do you plan to sell this vase for?"

Gu Nuanyi rubbed her chin and said, "It's a vase from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It's an antique. It should be able to be sold for 2-3 million..."

Du Xiu Yue took a breath and said, "Hiss, you are so brave... But if you really want to sell it, I will help you find an auction house in Hong Kong."

"Okay!" Gu Nuanyi picked up the vase and put it in Du Xiuyue's arms: "Then thank you for your help!"

"Ah!" Du Xiuyue exclaimed, hugged the vase tightly with both hands, and said in a low and nervous voice with a bitter face: "Why did you just give it to me like this...", the voice was as small as a mosquito's buzz, for fear that the vase would be shattered because of the loud noise.

"Please at least pack it before giving it to me. Aren't you afraid that I'll break it?" Du Xiuyue held the vase and stood there stiffly, not daring to move.

Gu Nuan noticed that her legs were starting to shake, so she quickly took the vase and said, "Not really, you're a rich second-generation after all."

"Rich second generation? Which rich? Don't tell me I'm rich in terms of wealth. I'm really a negative second generation, but I mean negative in terms of debt. My dad mortgaged all his assets and built a house..."

Gu Nuanyi patted Du Xiuyue on the shoulder and said, "Real estate, I believe you will soon be able to go from being a second-generation poor to a second-generation rich. Hey, when this vase is sold, is there a chance for me to get a piece of the pie?"

Du Xiuyue thought of what his father said about the lack of working capital, and immediately grabbed Gu Nuanyi's hand with shining eyes: "Do you really want to invest?"

Gu Nuanyi nodded: "Yes, but we'll talk about that after the vase is auctioned off."

Du Xiuyue rushed out after hearing this, leaving only one sentence: "Wait, I'll contact someone right away"

three days later

Gu Nuanyi brought the vase and followed Du Xiuyue to the Xiangjiang Auction House

Du Xiuyue leaned close to Gu Nuanyi's ear and whispered, "If it weren't for Uncle Jia's connections, we wouldn't even be qualified to enter this auction house."

Gu Nuanyi also replied in a low voice: "That's because you are so good that you know someone like Uncle Jia."

Then he turned to look at Uncle Jia and thanked him sincerely

Uncle Jia said nonchalantly: "Old Du and I are good friends, I just took you in by chance, there is no need to be so polite"

Hong Kong Auction House

The treasure examiner took a magnifying glass and examined it carefully two or three times before saying, "This vase of yours is indeed from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, but it was not supplied exclusively to the royal family. However, it has a beautiful color and shape, so there are people willing to buy it and keep it. However, the price will not be too high. In addition, I need to inform you that our auction house will charge 2% of the final transaction price as a fee for auctioning for you."

Gu Nuanyi nodded: "That's troublesome"

The treasure examiner waved behind him, and immediately a young man ran over and said, "Put this vase in the auction room tonight, in the middle front position."

After inspecting the vase, Du Xiuyue couldn't wait to pull Gu Nuanyi to find Uncle Jia's seat and sit down.

Half an hour later, the auction officially began.

The auctioneer introduced the items in Chinese and English and then started bidding.

Each time the person below raises the sign in his hand, it means the price will increase.

The auctioneer switched fluently between Chinese and English, and an item was sold after three hammer strikes.

There were some minor fights at the beginning, and the items were sold without adding much money.

The highlights are all in the future. Some people who know the items in advance will not bid much in the beginning.

20 minutes later, the vase that Gu Nuanyi handed over was brought up.

The auctioneer introduced the auction in both languages, and then signaled that the bids could be raised.

Du Xiuyue nervously grabbed Gu Nuanyi's arm at this moment, and as the price went up again and again

Her hands were clenched tighter and tighter, and even her breathing became rapid: "No, I'm so nervous!!"

As time went by, fewer and fewer people raised their prices.

The amount also reached 320 million

The amount expected by Gu Nuanyi has been reached

Du Xiuyue carefully scanned the crowd and asked, "I wonder if anyone else is raising the price..."

Uncle Xia: "That's about it. If you raise the price any higher, it will exceed the value of this vase. Everyone here is a smart person. If you raise the price any higher than the value, you will lose money."

Gu Nuanyi: "I am satisfied with this price"

Just as the auctioneer struck the second hammer, someone suddenly raised a sign.

The auctioneer looked at the man with a smile on his face and said, "330 million. Does anyone want to bid more?"

"One million times"

"330 million twice"

"330 million..." Just as the third hammer was about to fall, someone on the other side raised his hand.

Du Xiuyue covered his chest and said, "No, I'm so nervous."

Gu Nuanyi: "I didn't expect anyone would raise the price again"

Uncle Jia looked in that direction, his eyes brightened: "They are ordinary people. I heard that they are planning to hold an exhibition of Chinese cultural relics..."

Gu Nuanyi's expression changed: "I won't sell it, okay?"

Uncle Jia shook his head: "Unless it fails to sell, we cannot cancel it midway."

Gu Nuanyi narrowed her eyes and saw that Xiao Rizi looked determined to get the vase. She immediately came up with an idea. Even if Xiao Rizi finally got the vase, she would marry the black man and take it back! !
