Got the cassock

Since you are participating in the auction, you need to apply in advance. You can only get the invitation code after passing the qualification review.

He first registered an account on Bailey Auction House's website and then underwent the review as required.

The efficiency was pretty good, and the review was passed in less than two hours.

The next step is to pay the deposit.

After participating, it can be returned.

However, during the auction, if the auction is conducted in bad faith, the deposit will not be returned, and other legal liabilities will even be borne.

After getting the invitation code, Ye Cheng bought a ticket online to fly to Kyoto the day after tomorrow.

In the afternoon, [LG King] came to the company.

As the boss of the company, Ye Cheng received him personally, which flattered LG Wang and made him feel that the company valued him.

Just like what I saw in Douyin videos in his previous life, the current LG King still wears a very ordinary dress with a very distinctive laugh and voice.

For dinner, we had dinner together at a high-end restaurant, which served as a welcome refreshment for the LG King.

Because she had to pick up Qinqin, Lin Yuanyuan did not attend the dinner and went back early.

When Ye Cheng got home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Qinqin is already sleeping.

Lin Yuanyuan was watching TV.

"Didn't you have a drink?"

Lin Yuanyuan asked.

"I'm driving; how can I drink?"

Ye Cheng shook his head and said,.

Now Lin Yuanyuan didn't dare to drive alone, so she took a taxi when she came back.

"By the way, wife, I'm going to Kyoto the day after tomorrow."

Ye Cheng said it again.

"What are you going to do in Kyoto?"

Lin Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"Participate in an auction, yes."

Ye Cheng said.

Lin Yuanyuan was a little curious, but she didn't continue to ask.

Friday, January 19th.

It's about six o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Cheng got on the plane at Anbao Airport, and by the time he arrived at Kyoto Daxin Airport, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

He had already booked a hotel in advance.

By the time we checked into the hotel, it was already past eleven o'clock.

This is Ye Cheng's first time taking a plane in his life, and also his first time coming to Kyoto.

Standing on the balcony of the business suite in the hotel, looking at the bright lights in the distance.

"If I have the chance, I will buy a house in Kyoto."

Ye Cheng was thinking in his mind.

However, the conditions for buying a house in Kyoto are relatively strict. You must have had social security or personal income tax for more than five years.

This is too difficult for Ye Cheng.

By the time five years have passed, it will already be 2023.

At that time, I didn't know how high housing prices had risen.

Ye Cheng shook his head and did not think about this problem again. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and sent a prestige message to Lin Yuanyuan.

Soon, Lin Yuanyuan directly made a video call.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Ye Cheng looked at his wife, sitting on the bed with her hair down.

"Husband, I can't sleep without you by my side."

Lin Yuanyuan said.

After she got married to Ye Cheng, they hardly spent any time apart from going to work.

Now Ye Cheng is going to Kyoto, so she is a little not used to it.

"Sleep early."

Ye Cheng said.

After chatting for a while, he hung up the video, and Ye Cheng went to take a shower.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Ye Cheng came to Baili Auction House.

As a very famous auction, Baili basically has special auctions every day.

People come and go, and it's very popular.

Ye Cheng used the invitation code at the front desk to get a number plate and collection book, and then followed the road signs to Auction Hall No. 3.

This is an oval-shaped hall, luxuriously decorated, with rows of auction tables surrounding the middle.

Many people have arrived.

There was a roar of people.

Ye Cheng found the corresponding seat according to the number plate and sat down.

He flipped through the collection manual, which contained a detailed introduction to the collection at this auction.

Ye Cheng flipped through it casually and finally saw the late Qing Dynasty pornographic cassock.

The introduction is much more detailed than on the website.

Ye Cheng became more and more certain that this was the cassock he wanted to photograph.

"Brother should be from Shonan, right?"

A slightly stout middle-aged man sitting next to him suddenly asked.

"Yes."

Ye Cheng nodded.

"I'm also from Shonan, from Xinshi."

"I'm in the real estate market."

"Then we can be considered half fellow villagers."

The two soon started chatting.

This middle-aged man's name is Su Binggui, and his wife is a native of Kyoto. She runs a housekeeping company. She is an amateur collector and often likes to buy collectibles.

The two quickly exchanged business cards.

Although there may not be much intersection in the future, this is a society where people are sophisticated.

The auction has begun.

One by one, the collections were delivered, and under the professional introduction of the auctioneer, they were all successfully auctioned.

The value of these collections ranges from thirty to fifty thousand to several hundred thousand.

The starting price for one of the finale collections in this auction exceeded one million.

Many photographers come here for this final collection.

Su Binggui also made a move and bought a painting by a famous artist for more than 130,000 yuan.

Finally, Yecheng's long-awaited late Qing Dynasty Huang Duanzi Kasaya appeared.

"This cassock is made from a complete piece of yellow silk. It has been identified by experts as being from the Qianlong period of the late Qing Dynasty. It is made with exquisite craftsmanship and is relatively well preserved. It is of great collection value."

The auction was introduced.

"Teacher Qin, why does this cassock look so eerie? Would a monk wear this? Isn't it for the dead?"

Someone laughed.

"You said it's really possible. Maybe it's a burial object or something like that."

"Wouldn't it be nice to buy this thing for collections?"

"It feels unlucky to have something like this at home."

"Old man Li, don't you like to collect weird things? This thing should suit your appetite, right?"

"Forget it; the starting price of 80,000 yuan is too high. It's not worth it. It might just hit your hands, and you won't be able to sell it."

Many photographers also started talking about it.

Some interested people also went up to take a look.

Among them is Yecheng.

He knew that among the people watching, there should be the person who bought the cassock in his previous life.

But he didn't know which one.

Since that person bought the cassock on the second day of the auction, it means that this person is already paying attention.

After Ye Cheng looked at the cassock carefully, he was basically sure that this cassock was what he wanted.

So he returned to his seat calmly.

"Brother Ye, you're not interested in this thing, are you? It's best not to get your hands on this kind of funerary object."

Su Binggui advised.

Next, the bidding started, but no one planned to bid.

Seeing this, the auctioneer knew that the cassock was going to fail the auction.

Unsuccessful sales are also common.

"If no one bids, then I will announce that this cassock from the late Qing Dynasty has been rejected."

The auctioneer glanced at the whole place and then said,.

"I'll pay eighty-one thousand."

Ye Cheng finally raised his number plate.

Su Binggui glanced at Ye Cheng, a little surprised.

Many other photographers are also very curious. Are they really interested?

There was one person among the photographers who had seen the cassock on stage before, and he frowned.

Although he did not see the specific origin of this cassock, his intuition told him that this dirty cassock seemed to be extraordinary.

If you want to buy it, you have to make an offer.

It's only 80,000 yuan, which is not cheap.

Although he can afford it,.

But it's also very risky.

After all, he has always been very cautious about bidding and collecting.

"Eighty-one thousand, first time."

"Eighty-one thousand, the second time."

By this time, the auctioneer had already started shouting.

This person is very confused.

But in the end, he gave up bidding.

Following his intuition, he made up his mind to spend 80,000 yuan on something he was not sure about.

"Eighty-one thousand, the third time."

Finally, the auctioneer made the final decision.

The man suddenly felt a strong sense of loss, as if something that belonged to him had suddenly left him.

At this moment, he felt regretful and had made the bid if he had known it.

Unfortunately, the auction is over.

At the same time, Ye Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that the potential competitor would raise the price.

After all, if the other party can buy the cassock the next day, it means that he is very interested in the cassock. Maybe he was very entangled at the beginning but finally made up his mind after thinking for a long time.

"Very good; the stuff is finally in my hands."

Ye Cheng was very satisfied.
