Xia Dongfeng chuckled and glanced at Fu Shaobei.
Fu Shaobei's face looked like it was carved out of an iceberg, cold and arrogant.
This boy is really patient!
Xia Dongfeng touched his chin and shook his head: "I don't recognize him either."
After he finished speaking, everyone around him was shocked.
You must know that Xia Dongfeng is a famous appraisal master in Beijing, and is the vice chairman of the Jewelry Appraisal Association. He especially likes carving.
He knows all the sculptures from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
Take out any piece of work at random and he will be able to tell its origins in great detail.
But even he couldn't recognize this carving, so there were only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that this is a unique copy that has been lost for a long time, so even Mr. Xia Dongfeng has never seen it.
The second possibility is that this is just an ordinary piece of wood carving, not a masterpiece at all, and is not worth any money at all!
Everyone thinks the second possibility is more likely.
At this time, the auctioneer on the stage coughed slightly, drawing everyone's attention.
He pointed to the wooden carving, a smile on his face.
"The auction for this collection will begin. This is a piece of wood carving art. The starting price is 100,000 yuan."
After he finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed.
This auctioneer has a lot of experience. When each collection is delivered, he will explain it and use just the right words to beautify the item, thereby arousing everyone's desire to bid.
But this wood carving really stumped him.
He had no choice but to end his explanation in the simplest and most practical language and began to stand aside and wait for everyone to bid.
But he felt that no one would bid at all.
The price for an inconspicuous peach wood carving starts at 100,000 yuan. Do you really think that these guests present are fools
If this were put on a street stall on Dongmen Street, it wouldn't even sell for a thousand yuan!
Xia Dongfeng snorted and was almost angry.
One hundred thousand yuan!
This kid is really asking for too much.
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there was an incredible buzz in the audience.
Many people scoffed at this wood carving.
Just to save Xia Dongfeng's face, no one dared to make any sarcasm, but after a long time, no one in the audience even made a quote.
There was the biggest chill in the entire auction.
The auctioneer stood alone on the stage, feeling awkward in his heart and with an awkward smile on his face.
As a rule, at this time, he should seize the opportunity to introduce and praise the origin or value of this collection.
But he knew nothing.
He had no idea where to start praising himself.
It cannot be said that it looks like an unearthed cultural relic or the hard work of someone who loves sculpture.
The spotlight shone on the wooden sculpture, making it look deserted.
Xia Dongfeng coughed dissatisfiedly and glared at the auctioneer.
The auctioneer also realized that he had to say something and couldn't let the silence continue.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and praise: "Everyone, please look at this... this work of art. The carving skills are very skillful. The peach blossoms and the ancient girl are carved so lifelike. I feel like I just smell the fragrance of the peach blossoms when I stand here. And this girl, her facial expressions are even more expressive, her eyes are watery, even her eyelashes are clearly visible, and the smile on her face is very natural... "
The auctioneer observed the wood carvings while introducing them to everyone.
As he was talking, he suddenly felt that the wooden sculpture of the girl looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
