Volume 1, Chapter 352 of the Third-Rate Agent's Precious Relics

Next chapter

"One of the eighteen styles of Mansheng, the mirror clay pot, is authentic by Sotheby's, with a starting price of 600,000 yuan and a minimum increase of 50,000 yuan!" the auctioneer said loudly.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Eight hundred thousand!"

"A million!"

"One million and three million!"

“……”

The purple clay pot is more sought after than expected, and almost after the auctioneer finished speaking, the auction price immediately rose. In the blink of an eye, it broke through one million and moved towards two million, and Li Shixun believes that this price is definitely not the end.

A famous purple clay pot is absolutely unattainable in the eyes of those who like it. With the popularity of the Tian Dynasty market, the enthusiasm of overseas Chinese has been driven, and the purple clay pot has become famous at home and abroad, and people with a little investment vision will not miss it.

It's just that the price of millions of dollars is still surprising. After all, it has only been 10 years at this time, and the US dollar is still very strong, and if it is exchanged for RMB, the asking price of this purple clay pot has exceeded 10 million.

Perhaps this is the reason why Sotheby's would rather consume favors than get rid of Ivan and allow them to auction off this batch of porcelain. After all, for those who come to the auction, money is just a number in their eyes, and millions of dollars are worth exchanging for a handful of porcelain that contains oriental history and culture.

Naturally, the winner will only be Sotheby's.

Thinking about this layer clearly, Li Shixun is not in a hurry to make a move, he is waiting for the momentum of the price increase to drop. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the price to break through two million, and not many people continued to follow up.

"Two million three hundred and fifty thousand!" Mitsui Toshiyoshi asked for the first time.

"Two million .65 million!" Li Shixun directly added 300,000, which provoked a lot of discussions, even Sika, who was watching with relish on the side. I couldn't help but grab his hand.

Hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars are rising, as if money is not money. It's like a pile of waste paper. Jessica's face was flushed with stimulation, and the whole person was very excited. Especially at the beginning, Li Shixun helped him take pictures of so many things, so that she gave a fragrant kiss on the spot.

It's just that now Li Shixun is asking too fiercely, although he knows that he has money, he is also worried about him.

Li Shixun patted her arm, signaling that she didn't have to worry, and then turned to look at Mitsui Toshiyoshi.

I don't know why, the other party didn't continue to follow up, but someone else raised the price.

"Two million eight million!" Li Shixun bid again. At this time, the price completely exceeded the price of the purple clay pot, which made the auctioneer excited about the hammer table.

"Two million eight thousand, this gentleman bid two million eight hundred thousand, you don't have to miss it if you like gentlemen and ladies. ”

"Okay, 2.8 million, the first time!"

"Two million eight thousand, the second time!"

"Two million eight million, the third ......"

"Three million!" a sudden voice as the auctioneer's hammer finally didn't go down.

Li Shixun's eyes were cloudy. It was Mitsui Toshiyoshi's voice, and he turned his head to look over, just in time to see the smiling face that the other party showed him, and he felt extremely disgusted.

Before the final word. There was even a price increase, and the auctioneer was completely full of blood and shouted: "Three million." This gentleman directly increased the price by 200,000 at the last moment. Now, the price of the purple clay pot is three million. Is there any more bidding? Three hundred for the first time!"

"Oba!" Jessica nervously grabbed Li Shixun.

"Three million and fifty thousand!" Li Shixun took a deep breath and said lightly.

"Someone has increased the price. This gentleman bid three million and fifty thousand, gentlemen, ladies, the price of the purple clay pot is three million and fifty thousand now, can you continue to bid?"

"Three million and fifty thousand for the first time!"

The auctioneer on the stage is like a clown, constantly advocating the various effects and artistic value of the purple clay pot, but the audience is very quiet.

In fact, after Mitsui Toshiyoshi made a bid, few people would speak, after all, they couldn't offend the Mitsui family for a piece of porcelain.

However, the appearance of Li Shixun surprised many people. Some people remembered the intimate appearance of Li Shixun and Ivan at the dinner, and took it for granted that Li Shixun was a member of a certain family in the East, just like the Mitsui family.

Yes, they don't want to get involved in this bidding battle.

No matter how the auctioneer on the stage preached, how witty words were like flowers, it was useless.

In the end, this mirror clay pot was auctioned by Li Shixun at a bid of 3.05 million.

The staff will take good care of the auctioned items until the auctioneer has paid for them. Including the luxury items previously photographed, Li Shixun has spent nearly five million dollars.

A purple clay pot gradually warms up the atmosphere of the auction.

With the passage of time, all kinds of fine antiques are brought out one by one to be auctioned. Unlike Li Shixun's imagination, this batch of auctioned items is not just antique porcelain.

There are also ivory carvings, sandalwood utensils, amber hand beads, etc., as well as celebrity calligraphy and paintings, rare manuscripts, handwritten letters, and so on.

More than 20 pieces of high-quality antiques opened Li Shixun's eyes and made him hesitate to make a move when he met someone he liked. Like an amber bracelet, he took a picture and asked to wear it on the spot, in addition, he also took a picture of an ancient painting folding fan with a stainless steel skeleton and a silk fan.

There are also dragon and phoenix rings, colorful phoenix jade hairpins, etc., all of which cost nearly 20 million US dollars.

Such a big deal made many people look sideways and speculate even more about his identity. What makes Li Shixun very angry is that Mitsui Toshiyoshi, a kid, often raises the price, as long as it is something he likes, he will bid for it, but he only adds it and doesn't follow, and finally makes Li Shixun spend millions more dollars.

Angry is angry, but Li Shixun didn't show too much expression.

Mitsui Toshiyoshi did this, although he hated it, but this was allowed under the rules of the auction, and no one could stop him, and saying more would cause dissatisfaction among others and lose face in vain.

There will always be a time to come back! Li Shixun was ruthless in his heart, and he must teach that kid Mitsui Toshiyoshi a lesson.

As the auction continued, the atmosphere gradually became hot, and there were not many antiques left in the second batch, and everyone was full of anticipation for the final ticket auction.

"This item has an extraordinary provenance. Yan Sù, a rare auctioneer, said: "This is a cultural relic with rich historical value, and Sotheby's appraisers have personally verified it and used the most advanced instruments to conduct scientific research to finally determine that it is genuine." ”

As soon as the words fell, he lifted the red cloth on the table.

"The golden seal of the king of Han and the slaves, the most precious treasure in the tributary history of the island country, its casting period can be traced back to the 57th year of the Eastern Han Dynasty Jianwu Zhongyuan, and the whole body is cast in gold!"

On the huge screen, 360 degrees show the appearance of this golden seal.

The gold seal is square, the side length is 2.3 cm, the height of the printing pad is about 0.9 cm, the serpentine button is attached to the table, the whole body is about 2.2 cm high, and the words "King of Han and Slave" are engraved on it.

Li Shixun saw Mitsui and his entourage, his face was solemn, his eyes were firmly fixed on the golden seal on the stage, and he was suddenly confused. He took out his mobile phone to inquire, and only then did he know that this golden seal turned out to be the most important and precious cultural relic in the history of diplomacy between the island country and the Celestial [Dynasty].

This gold seal was originally hidden in the Fukuoka City Museum in the island country, but I don't know what happened, but it appeared here.

Could it be that this is the real thing, but the one in the museum is a fake? Li Shixun was taken aback by his own conjecture, but then he laughed.

This is a godsend! )
