Chapter 214: Halfway to Kill a Cheng Biting Gold

The auction officially began, and to Tang Yi's slight surprise, the first lot turned out to be a European Renaissance oil painting.

The starting price is $500,000, and each price increase must not be less than $50,000.

Tang Yi could only identify that this oil painting was genuine, and as for whether it was as valuable as the auctioneer said, it was not something he could identify.

"It seems that the first lot is just a small dessert before the meal, which is used to throw bricks and stones. ”

After two private rooms opened their mouths to bid, Tang Yi raised the corners of his mouth and shouted through a small microphone in the private room: "I will pay 800,000 US dollars." ”

The starting price was 500,000 yuan, and it was only 600,000 yuan after two price increases, and he increased the price by 200,000 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth, which made many people slightly sideways.

Tang Yi spoke Chinese when bidding, so that people could immediately hear his nationality.

That's exactly what he wanted.

"Okay, VIP No. 51 bid $800,000, is there anyone who offers a higher price?"

The auctioneer glanced in the direction where Tang Yi was, and raised his tone twice with a smile on his face.

"900,000!"

There are also people holding up signs, but the sound is all around the hall, and if the auctioneer does not report the room number, it is difficult to hear the source and direction of the bidding sound.

"950,000. ”

"1 million. ”

"1.1 million. ”

The auction price of the oil painting continued to rise, and within a few minutes, it broke the 1.5 million mark.

However, when the price soared all the way to 1.5 million, it suddenly became cold.

If Tang Yi is not mistaken, the real value of this oil painting should be around 1.5 million, and the fluctuation will not exceed 200,000 US dollars.

"1.5 million for the first time. ”

"1,500,000 for the second time!"

"1,500,000 for the third time!"

"Becoming ......"

Tang Yi deliberately pressed the last word, and at the moment when the auctioneer raised the small hammer and was about to make a final decision, he shouted loudly: "2 million!"

2 million?!

The small hammer in the auctioneer's hand suddenly froze in mid-air, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Tang Yi's bid once again attracted the attention of several other private rooms, and many people began to speculate about his identity and origin.

"VIP No. 51 bids $2 million!

"2 million for the first time, 2 million for the second time, 2 million for the third time!" Congratulations to VIP No. 51 for auctioning the first lot of this auction!"

Touch!

As soon as the word was settled, the Renaissance European oil painting officially had a new owner.

After the first lot was successfully auctioned for a high price, the atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic, and the next few lots were worth more than the other, and by the time the fifth lot was put on the auction table, the low price had reached $10 million.

Lot 5 is a fist-sized jade seal, and the vivid dragon carving on the seal makes Tang Yi see at a glance that this belongs to a treasure in China.

It's just that this seal is not well-known to the public, but the jade seal of a peasant uprising regime thousands of years ago.

Although this seal is not as good as the jade seal of the country, it is also an extremely rare treasure with high symbolic significance and research value.

Sure enough, as soon as this jade seal was placed on the auction table, it immediately aroused the interest of many people.

It didn't even take the auctioneer to set the mood, and someone took the initiative to start raising the price.

The starting price was $10 million, and it soared to $12 million in less than 3 minutes.

What made Tang Yi extremely unhappy was that the bidders all spoke foreign languages, some said English, some said German, and some spoke Island.

The one who was the most active bidder was the one who spoke the island language.

"With me here today, no one wants to take away a piece of my Huaxia treasure!"

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Tang Yi's mouth, and after the guy who spoke island language bid 12.5 million again, he directly quoted a sky-high price of 15 million US dollars.

If you don't make a move, you will make a move, and it will be 15 million US dollars, which once again put him in the sight of everyone.

"Friends from China, this jade seal is a treasure of my Dahe people, please fulfill it, 15.5 million!"

The man who spoke the island language exchanged a sentence with Tang Yi in broken Chinese, and then added 500,000 yuan on the basis of 15 million.

"Can you say something that has nothing to do with bidding?"

Tang Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, because no one had ever said even a word that had nothing to do with the bidding before, so he subconsciously thought that he couldn't communicate with others through the microphone during the bidding process.

It's even more interesting to be able to communicate through a microphone.

"It's really fucking shameless, that Fang Yuxi is obviously an object left by our ancestors, and that dog thing actually said that it was a treasure of their bullshit Dahe nation, pulling chicken eggs!"

Tang Yi sneered disdainfully, patted the microphone lightly, and quoted a higher price again.

"$20 million. ”

Hiss!

As soon as the price of 20 million came out, Tang Yi obviously heard the sound of gasping in several private rooms.

Apparently frightened by the price he quoted.

If it weren't for his sudden price increase, the final price of Fang Yuxi would probably be difficult to break through 15 million.

Although the jade seal is very large, it also has high symbolic and archaeological value, but after all, the actual value does not reach the specifications of hundreds of millions.

Being able to shoot 15 million is basically the limit.

As soon as the price of 20 million came out, the audience was silent, and everyone was frightened and silent.

"Baga! Who is the person in the No. 51 private room who dares to go against my Tanabe family, isn't he afraid of bearing the wrath of my Tanabe family?!"

In the No. 34 private room, a middle-aged man with two mustaches, less than 1.6 meters tall, and a black suitcase at his feet turned off the microphone first, and then kicked over the coffee table in front of him with a thunderous kick, and his chest rose and fell violently.

Before the auction officially began, he had discussed with several other representatives representing various forces, that Fang Yuxi should have been in his pocket, who would have thought that Tang Yi's Cheng Biting Gold would appear halfway.

That's right!

Two days before the auction officially began, all the lots had actually been leaked.

And this Hidekiro Tanabe in private room No. 34 is one of the very few people who knows the list of lots in advance.

It's just that he didn't expect that someone would call out the sky-high price of 20 million US dollars out of common sense, which is far beyond the actual value of the jade seal, unless he has a brain disease, he will continue to increase the price.

It turned out that the person with a sick brain did not appear here, and that Fang Yuxi was finally pocketed by Tang Yi for a sky-high price of 20 million US dollars.

When the auction hammer fell, Tang Yi's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.

In this case, it doesn't matter if the money is not rich, if this jade seal really falls into the hands of the person who speaks the island language, don't say that he doesn't agree, I'm afraid the people of the whole country won't agree!

After Lot 5 was successfully auctioned, the auctioneer asked people to carefully bring up Lot 6 tonight.

True, Lot 6 may seem to be heavy, and it was indeed carried up by two strong security guards.

"What needs two people to lift, looking at something that looks like a stick or a spear or something, it can't be another blade in ancient China?"

Tang Yi stared at the brand that was lying across the weapon rack and covered by a red cloth, and his brows were twisted.

While he was worried and curious, the people in the other private rooms were also secretly speculating.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next lot to be auctioned is very promising, according to the accurate conclusion of expert research, this lot is at least nearly 2,000 years old, it ......"

"Don't talk so much useless, quickly tear that red cloth away and let us see. ”

"Yes, see things first and then talk about anything else. ”

The auctioneer Guan Zi was only halfway sold, and a few people in the private room couldn't help but urge loudly.

Among the urging people are both Chinese speakers and foreign language speakers.

Being interrupted somewhat unreasonably in public, the auctioneer not only did not get angry, but also secretly felt excited and excited, the higher the audience's mood, the higher the price may be sold in a while.

As one of the most senior top auctioneers in the auction house, he is rewarded with a point that exceeds the low price.

One point doesn't sound like much, but it's actually quite a lot.

For example, the jade seal that Tang Yi just auctioned for 20 million US dollars, the low price set by the auction house was actually 12 million US dollars.

In other words, the auctioneer of the jade seal alone can get a reward of 800,000 US dollars.

"Since you're so interested in Lot 6, I'm not going to talk nonsense, everyone, please take a look!"

The auctioneer laughed loudly and tore off the red cloth covering the lot with a handful of handfuls.

"Is it actually a sword? Is there such a long sword as a weapon in the history of our country?"

Seeing the long-handled sword on the auction table that shone in the light, Tang Yi's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

The shape of this sword is very strange, not so much a sword, but more like a spear, even in film and television dramas, he has never seen a weapon of this shape.

"Kusanagi Sword, also known as Tiancong Cloud Sword, Du Mu Dadao, is one of the three artifacts in the myths and legends of the island country, and the eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade, the same name as the Eight Mirrors, it is said that when the Heavenly Sun came, Amaterasu God granted Qiong Qiong Pestle Zun and inherited by the Emperor of the island country from generation to generation. This sword was lost 2,000 years ago, and was recently inadvertently recovered from the sea by a fisherman in the north!"

Speaking of this, the auctioneer said loudly with a solemn face: "I can tell you very responsibly that this sword is definitely a weapon from 2,000 years ago!"

"Kusanagi sword, the starting price is 20 million US dollars, and the price increase shall not be less than 1 million US dollars each time, and interested friends have begun to bid. ”

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the Tanabe Hideki Lang, who was sitting in the No. 34 private room, had his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to open the microphone and shouted loudly: "21 million US dollars! Friends, I am Tanabe Hidejuro of the Tanabe family, and the Kusanagi Sword is one of the three major artifacts of my country, please give me and the Tanabe family a face, and I will be grateful in the future! Today, no matter what, I will invite this artifact back to China for worship!"

Tanabe Hidekiro repeats it three times in island language, English, and broken Chinese, which shows how important Kusanagi sword is to him.

The reason why he specially flew from the island country to Hong Kong City to participate in this auction was that there were only two core purposes, one was to invite back the Kusanagi Sword, and the other was to auction off the Nine Sheep Bronze Statue.

If there is a priority between these two tasks, there is no doubt that it will be Kusanagi Sword.

"Mr. Tanabe, a myth is a myth, and who knows if it's true or not? Besides, since the ancient weapon appeared on the auction table as a lot, it was only Lot 6. Since it is a lot, it must be the one with the highest price, and Mr. Tanabe's self-detonation identity three times and twice, is it because he wants to overwhelm people with power? 22 million US dollars!"

As soon as Tanabe Hidekikuro's voice fell, a disdainful male voice choked back on the spot in not particularly authentic English.

"Yes, I like this thing a lot, 23 million. ”

"24 million!"

As soon as Hidejuro Tanabe opened his mouth, one after another people followed the bidding, and he obviously valued his face too much.

"Baga, bastard, don't let me know who you are, or ......"

With a hideous face and gritted his teeth, Tanabe Hidekiro gritted his teeth and shouted out the sky-high price of 40 million US dollars word by word.

He knew very well in his heart that the people who bid didn't really want the Kusanagi sword, but knew that this sword was important to him, and simply wanted him to have more blood.

Hideki Tanabe raised the price by more than 10 million US dollars at once, and sure enough, the scene was quiet.

It's just a broken sword, let alone 40 million, I'm afraid it's not even worth 4 million in the eyes of others.

If he continues to bid the price, he may make Tanabe Hidekiro bleed more, but what if the price he calls exceeds the price in his heart and smashes his hands all at once?

If that's the case, I won't want to cry without tears.

"It's just a fake, since that chrysanthemum likes to buy fakes at a high price so much, if I don't help him raise the price, wouldn't I be too sorry for myself?"

Tang Yi smiled coldly, and made a wish through the system in his heart before bidding, and when he knew the bottom price in his heart of this Tanabe Hidejuro, the smile on the corner of his mouth became three points thicker.
