The auction continues. The next two lots are genuine and the prices are relatively fair.
An early Qing Dynasty full-moon vase sold for RMB 2.8 million, and a jade Ruyi sold for RMB 7.5 million.
Ye Anjin noticed that there were very few bidders for these two treasures, and he couldn't help but become more confused.
At this time, the little puppy next to her came close to her again, and when she spoke, her hot breath sprayed in her ears, making her sultry.
Ye Anjin pulled away a little, but heard him say something shocking.
"The father-in-law of the city's No. 2 chief, whose surname is Gu, likes to imitate these tattered gadgets. Anyone who has no way of giving gifts knows to come to this auction to bid, specifying the items provided by him. The Taipei National Palace Museum mentioned here refers to It’s not from the other side of the strait, it refers to my old home in the north of Wulitai Village.”
Jinmao suddenly opened up at night.
"Recently, there is a multi-billion-dollar renovation project for old houses. The No. 2 leader has the final say. Developers with some strength are jealous. They don't spend their minds on business, and they all come to this auction. Isn't it interesting?"
The little milk dog replenishes vitality.
Ye Anjin suddenly realized.
Xie Chenfei and Cheng Yueliu gave away 14 million in the blink of an eye.
With such a large investment, it seems that they are bound to win this project.
Fourteen million is probably far from enough.
There should be more drama later.
Ye Anjin was in high spirits.
Although this couple cannot be left with nothing all at once, it is very satisfying to make them lose money and cause disaster.
If virtue is not matched, you will not be able to live if you do your own evil.
One day, they will be completely defeated, their lives will be worse than death, their families will be betrayed, and their families will be destroyed!
"This auction item is the painting "Snow on the River" by Guo Zhongshu in the Five Dynasties and early Song Dynasty!"
The auctioneer's words were true, "It is a vertical scroll with colors on silk. It has an unnamed inscription. It has ten characters inscribed by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, 'The Authentic Work of Guo Zhongshu on the Journey to the Snow River', and there is also an imperial seal 'Treasure of Imperial Letters'." Everyone, look at this ship. Although it is painted in white and light ink, the writing is powerful..."
Ye Anjin had been to the National Palace Museum in Taipei across the Taiwan Strait before and had seen this painting.
The picture is full of the cold and lonely feeling of winter snowy days, with boats crossing the cold river and vast water and sky. The whole picture is dense and dense, with appropriate movement and stillness, making it very harmonious and vivid.
This one is of course a fake.
To outsiders, the pictures are indeed exactly the same; to insiders, the charm of the pen and ink is completely gone, which is completely different from the original work.
"This is a national treasure. The collector spent a lot of money to get it. Because he was in urgent need of a lot of money recently, he reluctantly parted it. He said he would recycle it at a high price later!"
"Look here, the Song Dynasty Household and Qing Liang Qing Biao supervised the collection, the 'Secret Play of the Jiao Forest' seal and the imperial seals of Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, and there are also poems written by Qianlong, to ensure authenticity!"
The auctioneer tried his best to encourage, "Go ahead and take the auction, take it home as a family heirloom, benefit your descendants, and bring prosperity to all generations!"
Blow it! No tax anyway.
For something worth 1,800 yuan, the starting price is 20 million.
Subsequently, with the pursuit of "heroes" from all walks of life, the price soared to 50 million, and the war was still going on.
It seems that the project in the hands of Director No. 2 is really good, otherwise it would not be enough to make this group of people crazy to this extent.
It no longer matters whether the auction item is authentic or fake.
The project is actually there.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
Show your cards, show your cards!
Everyone has a tacit understanding, and you are fighting for it.
"Sixty million!"
"Sixty-five million!"
Fu Yusheng held up the sign.
Ye Anjin glanced at this prodigal, nibbling old giant baby.
His eyes were gleaming and charming, "Come on! If you don't come, I'll come!"
Gee, why do you think this guy means anything when he speaks?
Ye Anjin ignored him and sat as steady as a clock.
With projects worth hundreds of millions, there is no need to worry about no one grabbing them.
She was waiting for Xie Chenfei and Cheng Yueliu to bid.
Seeing the price getting higher and higher, Cheng Yueliu couldn't hold back, "Seventy million!"
Ye Anjin is determined to make the game and is not in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, Fu Yusheng suddenly held her wrist and raised it, "Eighty million!"
His palms were broad and warm, and he held her cool wrist with a firm or gentle force.
She was lucky enough to pull away without even twitching.
Ye Anjin glared at him, and he beamed at her.
"Eighty million! This Miss An Jin is so arrogant, eighty million!"
The auctioneer spared no effort to encourage, "This national treasure painting is worth far more than 80 million! Is there any increase in price?"
The auctioneer raised his gavel.
Ye Anjin didn't care about arguing with the little naughty dog. He leaned over and glanced at Cheng Yueliu intentionally or unintentionally, full of showoff and provocation.
It was a critical moment when the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer.
"Eighty-five million!"
As expected, Cheng Yueliu got the trick and raised the bidding card high.
Ye Anjin was secretly happy and continued to raise the price while the iron was hot, "Eighty-eight million!"
Everyone in the venue looked over in confusion, asking each other about her origins.
"You're so rich, where did you get it from?"
"I don't know you, I don't know you!"
"Mr. Fu's girlfriend? The talent and beauty match each other perfectly!"
"Nine times out of ten. If I had known they were going to rob me, I wouldn't have come..."
Ye Anjin ignored those groundless suspicions and looked at Xie Chenfei with burning eyes.
Xie Chenfei suddenly became distraught.
This woman has both wealth and beauty, and she has a soft spot for him. His luck is really not that good!
Cheng Yueliu was on pins and needles, fearing that this woman whose name and appearance made her unhappy would steal her limelight and her man, so she became furious and said, "Ninety million!"
The auctioneer looked at Ye Anjin expectantly, "Mr. Cheng bids 90 million! Mr. An..."
"Ninety-five million!"
Ye Anjin looked relaxed.
She was sure that Cheng Yueliu, who was jealous and determined to retaliate, would never give up.
Cheng Yueliu had spent 14 million before. If this painting could not be photographed, all the previous money would be in vain.
Cheng Yueliu looked at Ye Anjin angrily and squeezed out the words through his teeth, "Ninety-six million!"
The auctioneer was so excited that he danced with excitement, "Mr. Cheng, that's great, I bid 96 million!"
No one added.
Seeing Cheng Yueliu tense up with nervousness, Xie Chenfei also taking the matter seriously, Ye Anjin looked like he wanted to add but was hesitant, and then he was shocked and raised his sign, "Nine thousand..."
Cheng Yue Liu was as frightened as a bird, "I will pay 99 million!"
Ha, fell into the trap.
Ye Anjin will accept it as soon as it is good.
"...Ninety-nine million, the third...sale! Congratulations to Mr. Cheng on the treasure!"
Festive music sounded, accompanied by sparse applause.
Ye Anjin was relieved and won the first battle!
Cheng Yueliu and Xie Chenfei high-fived each other, thinking they had won a great victory.
Looking at the "defeated" Ye Anjin, Cheng Yueliu said proudly, "Some people just don't know their own abilities and don't have the strength to come out and embarrass themselves. It's ridiculous."
Ye Anjin narrowed his eyes and looked at the domineering Cheng Yueliu. Thinking of that rainy night, the dormant hatred in his heart was like the roar of the sea and the mountains.
Instead of being angry, she smiled with a dazzling smile, "Ninety-nine million, Mr. Cheng is so heroic."
"Of course, no matter how high I am, I can still afford it, unlike some people who are strong on the outside and bluffing."
Cheng Yueliu hugged Xie Chenfei's neck and felt proud.
Ye Anjin looked at Xie Chenfei and sighed, "Oh, I originally wanted to help Mr. Xie, but who knew that Mr. Cheng would be so competitive and waste so much money on a fake. I don't know if Mr. Cheng really doesn't know the goods, or he is just in vain. Gloves cleaning someone’s stolen goods?”
The whole place was in an uproar.
Xie Chenfei was shocked.
Cheng Yueliu was petrified on the spot.
He could only spend the rest of his life looking at Ye Anjin, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars, bright and hot.

Although, no auction company can guarantee that the auction items will be foolproof.
Situation 1: The fake product looks like the real thing, the expert team collectively misreads it, and the buyer and seller believe it to be genuine from beginning to end.
Scenario 2: Zhou Yu is trying to get the yellow cover, and secret operations like one willing to be beaten and the other willing to be punished happen from time to time.
Just like Cheng Yueliu and Xie Chenfei are willing to buy "collections" provided by specific "collectors" at auctions at high prices, regardless of authenticity, just to pay bribes in disguise.
This operation can launder bribes and make illegal income reasonable and compliant.
There is no shortage of people who know the inside story and participate in the bidding. Everyone understands it tacitly. You fight for it. It may seem like a fool's errand, but in fact, everyone is extremely smart and they are all looking for great returns.
The benefits of old house renovation projects are self-evident.
Government and businessmen collude, and everyone makes money.
The "buyer" offered "sincerity" in advance and then stood out in the fierce bidding.
Both public and private are very happy.
This kind of transaction can only be understood but not expressed.
This is a conventional "business rule" and there is almost no risk.
But, if someone exposes it...
