Chapter 100: The Auction Fights

600,000...

Everyone's breath froze, shocked on the spot!

You must know that although the bronze statue is extremely valuable, 250,000 yuan is the limit, and other bidders have increased the price several times, which has made the bronze statue exceed its original value.

"Is it crazy to give such a high price!"

"It's really worthy of being a mine boss, not to mention his wealth, and he doesn't even want his brains. โ€

There was a lot of talking.

In their opinion, spending 600,000 yuan to bid for portrait sculptures is extremely irrational.

Seat in the corner.

"600,000?"

Because she was too shocked, Liu Siyao's face turned red: "I think he's crazy!"

"This thing is not worth 600,000 at all, Chang Yuan has lost a lot. โ€

Liu Bo shook his head frequently.

Turning his head to look at Benjamin, he was about to say something, but suddenly choked.

"Jiang Lingyun..."

The light was dim, Benjamin clenched his fists, his eyes fell on Jiang Lingyun, and his eyes were red.

If it weren't for Jiang Lingyun's sideways...

This bronze statue is your own!

It's disgusting!

"600,000, Mr. Chang is really generous. โ€

The host's pride was all on his face.

"Everyone..."

"600,000, is there any additional price increase?"

"600,000 once. โ€

"600,000 twice..."

The voices of the people were like mosquitoes and flies, and many wealthy people argued in low voices, pointing at the bronze statue and Chang Yuan.

However, after all, no one shouted again.

Bang!

"600,000 three times, deal!"

In the hands of the host, a mallet made of fine hickory wood was struck down.

Wow!

The applause was thunderous, I don't know if it was sincere, or banter or ridicule.

The host was full of spring breeze, and gently raised his hand towards the auction seat where Chang Yuan was.

"Congratulations to Mr. Chang..."

"With 600,000 Huaxia coins, take a picture of Mathurin ยท Moreau's small bronze figurine!"

Wen Ruxuan's head buzzed.

"Did you hear that?"

She swallowed, her voice shaking.

"You've made a fortune..."

Though...

Before the auction began, she guessed that Jiang Lingyun would make a lot of money, and she had always had confidence in this person.

But when I actually saw it with my own eyes, it still felt like a dream!

"Hmm. โ€

Jiang Lingyun responded lightly, full of suspicion in his heart.

Similar to what others thought, he didn't think that this bronze statue could be worth 600,000.

No matter how much you like it, there's no need.

Moreover...

It is said that the mine boss is stupid and has a lot of money, but Chang Yuan is old and well versed in the valuation of antiques, and he knows better than most people how much money this bronze statue should fetch for auction.

But why did he?

But.

There is no time to think.

After the display case containing the bronze statue was lifted, the second auction item appeared in front of him.

"Ladies and gentlemen. โ€

"The second treasure is from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. โ€

"A set of blue and white painted gold landscape pattern flower mouth tea set..."

A new round of bidding began, and the whole hall was lively again.

"Starting price..."

"Auction begins!"

Although the auction is still fierce, compared to the talented Mathurin ยท The bronze statue of Moreau, this tea set, is obviously not very popular.

And it's no wonder.

The antiques of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty have been preserved a lot, and the blue and white are extremely common crafts in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with no special origin and little collection value.

"I see..."

Jiang Lingyun explained this, Wen Ruxuan was talented and intelligent, and soon realized.

"Still. โ€

He changed his words: "After more than 100 years, it is still intact, and it is not too bad." โ€

The two asked and answered, and the various aspects of this lot were clear. But they don't know that the owner of this blue and white tea set...

None other than Benjamin.

"30,000, congratulations..."

At the end of the bidding, when the host congratulated, Benjamin waved his fist angrily and kept hammering his thigh.

Are you kidding!

When Huang Baifan bought it, this set of tea sets cost a small 40,000 yuan.

Now the transaction price is only 30,000 yuan, plus appraisal fees, handling fees, etc., and 20,000 yuan has been lost inside and out.

"Benjamin, among Chinese antiques, blue and white are the most common. โ€

Seeing that his face was wrong, Liu Bo squeezed out a smile and comforted him.

"Besides..."

"It's not just this one auction, there's a chance. โ€

Benjamin held back his anger and nodded heavily: "You're right!"

"In any case, this auction must not be lost to Jiang Lingyun. โ€

Liu Bo was secretly surprised and did not answer.

Compared with Benjamin, Liu Bo is definitely self-made, so it is difficult for him to understand the mentality and strength of these gentlemen.

"Yes, we must not lose!"

Liu Siyao fought like chicken blood, and shared the same hatred with Benjamin, cheering.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

In the next hour, there were several more bidding items, of which Jiang Lingyun accounted for as many as 3, while Benjamin only had one.

The intensity of the auction is even more difficult to compare.

Completely different from blue and white tea sets...

Qing Qianlong's "cat's eye" blonde crystal snuff bottle, as soon as it appeared, it attracted the audience to exclaim!

The biggest difference between China and other countries lies precisely in the word "patriotism."

From the puff to the temple, when it comes to the national level, everyone's attitude is almost the same.

Snuff bottle.

It originated overseas, turned in the Ming Dynasty, and flourished in the Qing Dynasty.

Seriously...

It can be called "the art of the ancestors"!

Such a thing not only has a high collection value, but also witnesses the art history of a dynasty.

Naturally, it attracted the keen attention of many wealthy people.

Final Transaction Price...

800,000!

Wen Ruxuan was shocked!

The three Benjamin stood frozen on the spot, like petrified.

Jiang Lingyun also knew that such a price was far beyond its original value, but he couldn't explain why it was so.

Seem...

Someone is manipulating it in the shadows.

But how is that possible?

Look at Benjamin's bid.

No one was optimistic, and the auction ended up unsuccessful.

"I'm!"

Liu Siyao's cheeks were crimson and she screamed angrily.

"Jiang Lingyun's things, how do they look like they are valuable?"

"On the contrary, no one wants our things..."

"Why!"

Liu Bo glared at her fiercely.

"Shut up!"

"This is Sioux City, not a place for you to mess around. โ€

"If you attract the dissatisfaction of those giants and get burned, I won't be able to protect you!"

Benjamin's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fists clicked.

Jiang Lingyun...

It's so hateful!

However, at this time.

He suddenly saw Jiang Lingyun stand up abruptly and shout loudly.

"10,000!"

Well?

Benjamin's brain is fanatical and he doesn't want to...

"100,000!"

The sound started, and the audience roared again!

Everyone looked at Benjamin as if they were looking at a fool.

Benjamin was stunned.

Finally, I came to my senses and turned my gaze to the center of the venue, where there was a display case with the bidding items.

Is that...

"Stones?"

Liu Bo stared at the display case, his face full of astonishment and puzzlement.

The stone inside, but the size of the baby's palm, shaped like a goose egg, is not visible from the surface at all, there is nothing peculiar.

"This is..."

"Mr. Benjamin, are you sure you want to bid?"

The host was dumbfounded.

"And the bid is 100,000, you're not kidding!"

He was a little dazed.

I should have said clearly enough that this stone came from the desert, and the first rocket in China was launched there.

At that time, the "Excalibur" special combat team was responsible for the security work at the scene.

After the successful launch of the rocket, a special soldier picked up a nearby stone and considered it to be memorable.

Through personal relations, it was sent to the city of Suzhou at a good price for bidding.

Essentially...

It is a "charity sale", and all the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Hope Project to help children in poor areas.

"It's weird. โ€

The host quietly glanced at Jiang Lingyun out of the corner of his eye.

I secretly slandered in my heart.

"There's already a fool, why did another one pop up?"

"Still a gringo!"

Could it be that foreigners are so keen on public welfare in China now?

But at the moment...

"200,000. โ€

Jiang Lingyun's somewhat excited voice clearly spread to every corner of the venue.

Everyone was amazed!

I couldn't help but look him up and down.

This person...

"Jiang Lingyun, are you crazy!"

Benjamin's eyes were red, and he scolded bitterly!

Jiang Lingyun ignored it.

What do they know?

Among this stone...

Hidden priceless treasures!
