As the price of the starting auction rose, the competitive circle gradually had little to do with the private seats downstairs, and they really seemed to have bought an admission ticket for five yuan to come in and watch the excitement.

Lu Xiu didn't show any intention of participating in the competition from beginning to end, until the emcee on the auction table said impassionedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, what I will show you next is the last bid item in this auction. ”

She took the tray from the waiter's hand, and when she had whetted her appetite, she took the silk cloth that covered it down.

The silk cloth is not covered by a glass cover, but a boxy embroidered brocade box.

The auctioneer pulled the white silk gloves on his hand up, and unconsciously held his breath.

The brocade box contained a scroll, and she carefully pinched the end of the scroll and slowly pulled it apart.

It's empty, there's nothing.

"What is this?"

"I don't know, it can't be a blank slate, right?"

"Is it true that someone will spend tens of thousands of dollars to photograph such a piece of torn paper?"

"Hey, you don't understand this, I heard that this wordless book was specially taken out by the Beiping Auction House. ”

"Can the things in the town be worthless?"

"What's that?"

"I don't know, but I've heard that several big people with heads and faces are here for this. ”

"This thing claims to be priceless, I can't figure out what wealth code is on it, and only through a certain way can it be revealed......

“......”

Xu Chunqiu and Lu Xiu exchanged a look, this is what they are looking for.

Unlike other lots, the auctioneer did not stuff the scroll back into the brocade box, give it to the waiter to place on the tray, and walk around the VIP box on the second floor, but directly began to announce the starting price and the bottom line for each price increase.

There was a dissatisfied voice upstairs, and I don't know which box someone shouted in the direction of the auction table: "Don't you send things up for people to see?"

"I'm sorry sir, due to the particularity of this auction item, it is really inconvenient to display it up close. ”

The auctioneer made an apologetic gesture and bowed his head slightly with folded hands.

"The starting price is $50,000, and each price increase must not be less than $10,000. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to start bidding. ”

The auctioneer's mysterious attitude did not affect the popularity of the auction item among the guests in the venue, and the rattle on the second floor came and went, and the bidding speed was almost unbelievable.

"Fifty thousand dollars. ”

"Sixty thousand. ”

"Eighty thousand. ”

"One hundred thousand. ”

Almost instantly, the price of this auction item has doubled, and it has already exceeded the 100,000 mark.

Such a figure may not be enough in the current auction house, 100,000 US dollars converted into RMB is not even less than 1 million, but in the context of the times at that time, it is tantamount to astronomical figures.

You must know that Mr. Lu Xun, a literary master who was also in the Republic of China era, had an annual income of 5,000 oceans at that time, and a 450-square-meter courtyard house was only worth 3,500 oceans in Beiping at that time.

What's more, the units denominated in the auction are still in US dollars.

Lu Xiu rang the bell engraved with the number "06" on the table.

"One hundred and twenty thousand. ”

After a few seconds of silence, Box 5 followed suit: "130,000 US dollars." ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand. ”

"170,000. ”

Lu Xiu guessed that the other party reluctantly gave up the Stradivari to the third box for the sake of this last auction item.

Sure enough, the other party followed the price very quickly, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

When the bidding price exceeded 200,000 US dollars, the sound of bells sounding one after another became a little sparse, and almost only the No. 6 box where Lu Xiu and his party were located, and the No. 5 box next to each other were still competing fiercely.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand. Lu Xiu raised the bell and shook it gently.

Almost at the moment when he rang the bell, Lu Xiu noticed that the other party's provocative gaze swept in his direction, and then immediately followed the price without any hesitation: "Two hundred and seventy thousand." ”

"Three hundred thousand. ”

"The gentleman in box six offered $300,000 a time. ”

The auctioneer seemed to be very happy, and the price Lu Xiu gave was far higher than the price they expected this auction item to achieve.

Box No. 5 is still not to be outdone: "Three hundred and thirty thousand." ”

Lu Xiu shouted: "400,000." ”

Fu Nanxun sighed in a false voice: "400,000? Mr. Lu is crazy!"

Xie Lang shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, it's not a real auction." ”

Fu Nanxun just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only to hear Xie Lang continue: "The real auction Mr. Lu is bigger. ”

Fu Nanxun: ???

"Do you remember that Qiuqiu used to have an agate ring around her neck?"

He nodded subconsciously.

I only heard Xie Lang continue: "It is an old object that has been preserved until now during the Republic of China, and it was also won by Mr. Lu at the auction. ”

"Guess how much that thing costs?"

Fu Nanxun had no way to guess, but just deduced based on common sense: "Agate shouldn't be worth much, right?"

Xie Lang shook his head: "For such an agate ring, Mr. Lu spent 20 million. ”

Fu Nanxun: "......"

No wonder he entered the auction hall and went back to his home, small scenes and small scenes.

The intense bidding in the auction room continued, to be precise, the "intense" bidding for one person in Box Five.

Lu Xiu's attitude seemed quite relaxed from beginning to end, he began to eat melon seeds again, the distance between boxes five and six was not far, and the next door must have heard it.

Sitting in the fifth box was a man with a big belly and shiny hair behind him, who lifted the curtain and poked his head out, glaring angrily in the direction of Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu was still "calala" eating melon seeds, knocking sunflower seeds and watermelon seeds, shaking the bell while knocking back, and didn't seem to take this money seriously at all.

God knows that in his pocket, except for the white jade seal that Xu Chunqiu won for him in the underground casino, only a few pieces of change that Lu Jin gave him.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand. ”

Box No. 5 gritted his teeth: "Forty-five thousand." ”

The auctioneer reminded at the right time: "Sorry sir, the bottom line of the price increase is $10,000 each time." ”

Before he could respond, he heard Lu Xiu continue to raise the price lightly: "500,000." ”

"Please wait a moment for VIP No. 6," the auctioneer said cautiously, "and the price increase for VIP No. 5 just now did not take effect. ”

"Is your bid 450,000 or 500,000?"

Lu Xiu said lightly: "It doesn't matter how much it was just now, it's 500,000 now." ”

"I'm paying 500,000 dollars for this thing. ”
