Chapter 435: Singing and selling event!!!
The two chatted for a few more sentences before Zhuang Zhou asked:
"Old Wang, what good things are there at the carnival tonight?"
When Wang Zhigui heard Zhuang Zhou address him like this, he couldn't help but smile knowingly and said:
"Of course there are many good things, but the most precious one is still a piece of calligraphy."
"Oh, what word?"
Zhuang Zhou's heart moved and he asked curiously.
He knew that it must be very difficult to be able to perform at a singing and dancing show.
It must have collection value!
Wang Zhigui explained:
"It is the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi. You will know when you see it later."
Speaking of this, Wang Zhigui smiled meaningfully and said:
"I'm determined to win tonight!
Mr. Zhuang, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes!"
"It's ok!"
Zhuang Zhou waved his hand and said:
"You're not as rich as I am anyway!"
Wang Zhigui: "..."
This is simply impossible to refute!
Not long after.
A clear gong sounded.
The singing and selling show finally began.
Upon seeing this, Wang Zhigui hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Zhuang Zhou called him to stop:
"Lao Wang, just stay here. It's so big anyway."
Wang Zhigui waved his hand and said:
“That won’t do, there still have to be rules.
Besides, I have to go on stage to host a concert later!"
Zhuang Zhou nodded, no longer insisting, and just instructed:
"Then you have to help out later."
Wang Zhigui laughed and said:
"Don't worry, I don't care about anything else except that calligraphy."
After saying that, Wang Zhigui turned and left.
Zhuang Zhou saw that the singing and selling show was about to begin.
He gave Ma San a warning:
"Remember, I'm going to take all the treasures tonight."
Say the harshest words in the most relaxed tone.
……
An elderly man in gorgeous clothes walked onto the stage from the audience.
This person is none other than Mr. Qian, who deals in medicinal materials, Qian Xuedong.
"Everyone!
Welcome to the Tianbao Pavilion singing and selling party.
This evening, the Pavilion will present a collection of rare treasures.
I hope you will participate and bid as much as you like! "
As Mr. Qian finished his words, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
It can be seen that everyone is very much looking forward to it.
Sitting in the private room, Zhuang Zhou could overlook the entire hall.
I saw that the place was full of people, each of them was dressed gorgeously and had an extraordinary temperament.
Obviously, those who can come to participate in this singing and selling event are not ordinary people.
At least they are all wealthy people like businessmen.
Old Qian stepped down from the stage, and then a young man in brocade clothes stepped onto the stage to sing and sell songs.
"Everyone, the first treasure that will be auctioned tonight is a carved white jade cup. This cup is from the pre-Sui Dynasty and is now owned by Shopkeeper Cui. The starting price is three hundred strings of cash."
As he spoke, a middle-aged man in the audience stood up and said politely:
"Everyone, please give us your support!"
As soon as the words fell, someone made an offer:
"Three hundred and ten strings of cash."
"Three hundred and twenty strings of cash."
"..."
Zhuang Zhou made a gesture to Ma San.
Then I heard Ma San shout:
"Five hundred strings of cash."
I'm too lazy to add tens of thousands of strings to my account with these people.
Ma San directly shouted out five hundred strings of cash.
"Who is this? Pay five hundred strings of cash for a white jade cup."
"Are you stupid? Although this white jade cup is exquisitely crafted, it is definitely not worth five hundred strings of cash."
"What a sucker."
After some discussion, no one made any more bids.
Finally, the young man in brocade clothes on the stage announced directly:
"The White Jade Cup is sold for 500 strings of cash!"
Then comes the second treasure:
“Everyone, this is a beast-head agate cup.
This cup dates back to the Western Han Dynasty. It was a gift from Emperor Wen of Han when Emperor Jing of Han was the crown prince. It is engraved with exquisite peony patterns. The body of the cup is as smooth as jade and has an attractive luster.
It is said that drinking from this cup can keep one healthy and bring both happiness and longevity.
Starting price: one thousand strings of cash!"
As soon as the young man in brocade clothes finished speaking.
Then someone made a bid:
"One thousand and one hundred strings of cash."
"One thousand two hundred strings of cash."
"..."
Zhuang Zhou yawned and made another gesture to Ma San.
"Three thousand strings of cash."
Ok!
one more time.
The whole hall was in an uproar.
Everyone was whispering and talking.
"It seems to be him again?"
"Who is this person?"
"How can we play with such a price?"
"It's boring!"
"Is there anyone willing to bid three thousand guan?!"
The young man in brocade clothes shouted loudly.
There was a murmur in the audience.
What a waste of money it is to bid like this!
Seeing no one responding, he continued:
"The beast-head agate cup is sold for three thousand strings of cash!"
Everyone couldn't help but wonder who could be so generous.
They all turned to look at the private room where Zhuang Zhou was.
Zhuang Zhou didn't care about all this. He had money and could do whatever he wanted.
Next.
There were several more rounds of bidding.
"The next one is the Panlong Jade Pendant!"
"Five thousand strings of cash."
"The next one is a gilded, silver and bronze horse!"
"Six thousand strings of cash."
Twenty-one treasures were sold one after another.
only.
Zhuang Zhou never gave anyone another chance.
All at high prices.
"Who is this person? He is not here to participate in the singing show at all."
"It's obvious that they are here to rob."
"But they are rich!"
"Sure enough, he is very wealthy!"
"Hey! I thought I was very rich, but now it seems that I am penniless!"
until.
Wang Zhigui took to the stage to sing and sell songs.
He cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Everyone, what I'm going to sell next is a calligraphy piece.
This calligraphy was written by Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher of the Jin Dynasty. The full text consists of four lines and a total of 28 characters.
The calligraphy in this piece is vigorous, elegant and natural, making it a rare calligraphy treasure.
Starting price: 10,000 strings of cash!"
Ten thousand guan!
When they heard the price, everyone gasped.
To know.
Ten thousand strings of cash is already a sky-high price.
This is what it means to be extremely wealthy!
Even some priceless treasures may not be able to be sold at such a high price.
But right now.
The starting price for just a piece of calligraphy was as high as 10,000 strings of cash.
Who can blame it for the fact that this is the calligraphy masterpiece of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi?
However, there are still some businessmen who do not understand calligraphy who comment:
“Is this calligraphy really worth so much money?”
"Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is certainly worth the price."
"But even if it's Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, it may not be able to sell for this price, right?"
"What do you know? If this calligraphy piece meets someone who knows the business, ten thousand strings of cash is already a low price."
"..."
Amidst the discussion.
Wang Zhigui spoke:
"Everyone, does anyone have an offer?"
At this time.
A middle-aged man in brocade clothes stood up and shouted:
"One thousand one hundred strings of cash!"
Obviously.
He is determined to win.
Followed by.
Another bid:
"Ten thousand two hundred strings of cash."
"1500 strings of cash."
"..."
that's it.
Prices skyrocketed.
It soon rose to 20,000 strings of cash.
At this time.
Zhuang Zhou finally spoke.
"Fifty thousand strings of cash."
"!!!"
what?
Five... fifty thousand strings of cash?!
I just... endured it!
As soon as this price is released.
The whole hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked towards the private room where Zhuang Zhou was.
His eyes were full of surprise.
To know.
Fifty thousand strings of cash; even some wealthy businessmen may not be able to come up with such a large sum of money.
But right now.
Zhuang Zhou called out the price without hesitation.
This is absolutely crazy.
Wang Zhigui also looked at Zhuang Zhou with surprise.
He didn't expect that.
Zhuang Zhou actually paid such a high price for this calligraphy.
Is this still not allowing people to bid?
but.
Wang Zhigui also knew it.
Mr. Zhuang now is no longer the same person he was at the beginning.
This is really rich and powerful!
"Fifty-five thousand strings of cash!"
at this time.
A powerful voice came from the elegant house opposite.
The merchants in the audience suddenly became lively:
"Great!"
"Finally someone is fed up with this grandson and is going to take action!"
"..."
