In the blink of an eye, a dozen or twenty children gathered in the open space in front of the stage, ranging from three- and four-year-old brats to seven- and eight-year-old skinny monkeys.
As for the little ones wearing diapers and children over ten years old, they were unable to participate in the auction. They could only stay beside their parents, either sleeping soundly or looking at it with envy.
After these little guys came to the front of the stage, they immediately stood up in groups, standing with the children they were familiar with. They all looked up at Ye Tian on the stage, extremely excited.
When these little guys stood still, Ye Tian immediately came to the edge of the stage, then squatted down and started chatting with these little guys in the audience with a smile.
"Little darlings, do you know how much lucky money you have? Can you tell Uncle Ye Tian? Also tell other uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts, let everyone listen!"
Before he finished speaking, the audience was already scrambling to raise a dozen or twenty colorful arms of different lengths, like a small forest.
At the same time, a young but beautiful child's voice also came to everyone's ears.
"Uncle Ye Tian, my mother told me that I have more than 12,000 yuan in lucky money, which I have saved during the New Year in the past two years, and what you and Aunt Betty just gave me"
"I have fifteen thousand yuan of lucky money, Uncle Ye Tian, my mother is keeping it for me!"
The little guys proudly reported their financial status. Everyone has a lot of money and is like a little rich man.
However, their parents looked helpless at this time, with wry smiles on their faces, and pointed at Ye Tian one after another.
You are such a thief, you are waiting for us here!
This is it! The words we just told our darlings were all wasted by a blind man lighting up a lamp. It had no effect at all. When he turned around, he was ruined by you.
As expected!
After the little guys reported their property status, Ye Tian said with a smile:
"My dears, when the auction is held later, you will use your New Year's money to bid. Don't ask your parents for money anymore. As for what your parents just told you, you should ignore it.
This is a public welfare auction, that is, doing good deeds. After the auction is completed, your New Year's money will be used to protect some historical sites in our country, which is a very meaningful thing.
After the auction starts, I will publicly display the auctioned antique artworks. You probably don’t know what antique artworks are. It’s very simple. You just have to decide whether you like the item or not.
If you like that thing, just raise your hand to accept the price. The louder the voice, the better. It is best for everyone to hear it. If you don't like that thing, then there is no need to raise your hand to accept the price. Wait and see what happens next. pieces.
When you take a fancy to something and raise your hand to accept the price, other children may also like that thing. This requires you to compete with other children. Whoever bids the highest will get that thing.
However, your bid cannot be higher than your own New Year's money, nor higher than the upper limit set by your uncle, otherwise the bid will be invalid. Do you understand? Little darlings, if you understand, let’s start the auction now! ”
"I understand, Uncle Ye Tian"
The little guys in the audience responded in unison, their eyes shining with excitement.
Although the agreement was very simple, do these little guys really understand what Ye Tian said? I'm afraid it's quite embarrassing!
But that doesn’t matter, Ye Tian is confident that he can guide these little guys to complete a charity auction that may be the youngest participant in history.
"Okay, let's start the auction now, little darlings, look at what this is"
As he spoke, Ye Tian suddenly opened and closed his right hand quickly like a magic trick, and swayed it quickly behind him.
When he put his right hand in front of him again and slowly opened it, there was a small jade sculpture in the palm of his right hand.
It was a sapphire carving, carving a cute and naive tiger. The tiger seemed to be lying on the ground and taking a nap. It didn't look dangerous at all, but it showed a bit of childishness.
Furthermore, the carving skills of this sapphire tiger are superb, it is natural, the jade quality is warm and delicate, the patina is thick, and there is a faint layer of precious light. It is obviously a jade that has been played with for a long time, rather than one that has just been unearthed. cultural relics.
Seeing this naive sapphire tiger, the little guys in the audience immediately cheered.
"Ah! This is a little tiger, so beautiful, I want this little tiger"
"Uncle Ye Tian, I am a tiger, can you give me this beautiful little tiger? I will give you all the new year's money"
Looking at these cheering little guys, Ye Tian, who was squatting on the edge of the stage, suddenly chuckled.
“Little darlings, if you like this sapphire tiger, you can raise your hands to accept the bid during the auction. After five rounds of bidding, whoever bids the highest will get this little tiger.
Let me tell you a secret. This sapphire tiger has a history of more than 500 years. It was carved by a jade carving master during the Ming Dynasty. He is older than your grandparents! ..."
At the same time that Ye Tian said these words, a close-up shot of the sapphire tiger was also shown on the big-screen TV next to the stage, and it was shot from various angles, and the picture was very clear.
In just a moment, there was a commotion in the audience.
"Isn't it? How does this sapphire tiger look like the famous Zigang jade? The carving is awesome. If this is really Zigang jade, it would be too exaggerated!"
"Yes, it looks like Zigang Jade to me. If we are not mistaken, this is beyond exaggeration. It is definitely shocking!"
These comments came from many top collectors, antique art appraisers and other professionals in the banquet hall.
Through a series of high-definition images on the big screen, these sharp-eyed professionals have seen clues and believe that this naive sapphire tiger may be the famous Zigang jade.
However, because they have not personally appreciated and appraised it, they are not very sure of their judgment and are sure that this is the priceless Zigang Jade!
Even so, this sapphire tiger that resembles Zigang Yu is enough to shock them!
Just as everyone was talking about it, the picture on the big screen changed. Ye Tian himself appeared on the big screen TV, holding the sapphire tiger in his hand, and began to introduce it to everyone.
"This is a jade carving with a bit of childlike interest. It is very good. To be precise, it should be said to be a naive sapphire tiger. I found it at an antique stall at the Saint-Ouin flea market in Paris.
After accepting this sapphire tiger, I studied it carefully and I am basically certain that it is a jade carving from the mid-Ming Dynasty, a typical Su Gong jade carving, and it was made by a famous artist and is of great value.
I believe someone has noticed that this sapphire tiger looks a bit like the famous Zigang jade. In fact, it is not Zigang jade, but a jade carving made by an apprentice of the master jade carver Lu Zigang.
In 1539 AD, after the jade carving master Lu Zigang moved to Suzhou, he opened his own jade carving workshop in Suzhou and recruited a group of apprentices, who later became famous jade carving masters.
On this sapphire tiger, there is no personal mark left by Lu Zigang, but there are words left by his apprentice. After hundreds of years of playing and admiring, the font is not very clear, but it can still be seen."
As he was talking, the big-screen TV showed a close-up shot of the situation. Under the sapphire tiger's right front paw, there was a vague word "kai". Although it was not very clear, it was clearly identifiable.
As this scene appeared, the top collectors and antique art appraisal experts at the scene could not help but let out a sigh of relief, and then started to sigh.
"Hey——! It's not Zigang Yu, I was shocked!"
"Even if this is not the famous Zigang jade, it is still an outstanding work by the apprentice of the master jade carver Lu Zigang. It is almost real, it can be said to be very rare, and it is definitely worth a lot of money."
While everyone was talking about it, Ye Tian's clear voice continued to come out of the sound system and reached the ears of everyone present.
"Although this sapphire tiger is not Zigang jade, but a jade carving work by Lu Zigang's apprentice, it is also very rare and is a very representative jade carving work of the Ming Dynasty.
What is even more valuable is that this sapphire tiger has never been buried, that is to say, it has never been used as a funerary object and has been buried in a tomb without any bad luck.
In the past hundreds of years, this sapphire tiger has been under the sun and played with by different owners. The thick patina on it is the best proof..."
Ye Tian, who was on the big TV screen, continued to introduce the sapphire tiger, and spread the knowledge about zigan jade and jade appraisal. Everyone present had their eyes shining brightly, and they were mesmerized.
And Ye Tian, who was sitting on the edge of the stage and looking at the little guys in the audience, had already kicked off the first auction.
“Little darlings, the first piece of antique art I am auctioning today is this cute sapphire tiger. If you like it, you can raise your hands to bid and compete with other children for this little tiger.
I would like to remind you again that you can only use your New Year's money to bid, and you can no longer ask your parents for money. Moreover, this is to protect our country's historical sites and to do good deeds.
Okay, the auction starts now. This little sapphire tiger from the mid-Ming Dynasty, which has a history of hundreds of years, has a starting price of one yuan and only one yuan. Which little baby will bid? Please raise your little hands"
Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen or twenty arms of different lengths were raised in the audience, and a chorus of excited, childlike voices rang out.
"Uncle Ye Tian, I am willing to spend one yuan to buy this little tiger. It is so cute!"
"Can you give me this cute little tiger? Uncle Ye Tian, I just kissed you and Aunt Betty!"
As these little guys rushed to raise their hands to accept the bids, the attention of everyone in the banquet hall was immediately attracted, and everyone watched this unique auction with concern.
When everyone heard those milky sounds, which even sounded like a bit of pleading and coquettishness, they immediately burst into laughter.
Who has ever seen such an auction, and the auction item is such a precious jade carving from the Ming Dynasty? It is really eye-opening and so interesting!
