Chapter 368: Public Auction 3
"Weapons?" Yang Yi was a little interested, and in his sight, Miss Manners was holding a short box and placing it on the auction table. The auctioneer opened it and carefully removed the contents.
This is a weapon with a simple appearance and a rather peculiar shape. In appearance, it looks like a short knife with a sheath more than a foot long. The outer sheath is intricately carved with a shallow intricate pattern, and a thumb-sized ruby is set near the handle, but unfortunately due to age or other reasons, this ruby is still shiny, but it still has cracks, and it looks like it is in danger of falling apart at any time. The top of the outer sheath has a certain curvature, which looks full of streamlined beauty.
The color of the grip is bronze, but because of the long-term holding, many places have become yellowish, and even the palm marks can be faintly seen. The whole short knife seems to have magical power, which makes people unable to take their eyes off it at first sight, and it also reveals a faint cold aura.
"I believe that anyone with a little discerning can see that this short knife is rare in the world." The auctioneer gently drew the short knife, the long age did not make the blade lose its luster, the blade was still as clear as a pool of autumn water, and a line of standard small seals was engraved near the hilt, but due to the light and distance, no one could see what was written.
"It does look good, it's collectible." The old man who had bought the blue and white porcelain tea set in the audience smiled and said, "But forgive my clumsiness, which dynasty does this short knife come from?" "His question is something that a lot of people in the room want to ask. After all, age is related to its market price and collection price. Although antiques have a saying that the older they are, the more valuable they are, there is still a gap in the specific price. For example, everyone in the world knows that the price of red wine in '82 is relatively expensive, but the actual reason is only because the grapes of that year are better, and because of the weather and the production is small.
"This is a portable short knife from Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general of the Song Dynasty!" The auctioneer devoted himself to the role, and said with an excited expression: "And this line of words on the short knife is one of Man Jianghong's sentences!" Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood! ”
The old man in black was taken aback, and then said solemnly: "Since it is Marshal Yue's portable short knife, it naturally has a very high collection value, but I don't know what the price is?" He already had the intention of collecting this short knife in his words, after all, such items are really hard to find, and when they do, they naturally have to buy them home.
"A treasure knife like this is hard to find in the world!" The auctioneer smiled slightly: "The price is naturally a little higher." The reserve price is 30 million, and each price increase shall not be less than 500,000. Now the auction is officially open! ”
"Forty million!" The old man in black had a resolute style, and directly bid 40 million, which also showed his determination to win. However, since it was an auction, his price would naturally not be monopolistic, and someone immediately increased the price to forty-five million.
Now the atmosphere seemed to be ignited in an instant, and for a while, the sound of price increases continued to sound. In less than five minutes, the price of this short knife has reached 65 million. This is more than double the original price, which of course is something that the auction will be happy to see.
"Just because this short knife is Marshal Yue's belongings, it's so valuable?" Jia Hui was also a little surprised, six thousand five hundred and five is not a small amount, just to buy an antique is really a little unreasonable.
"Yue Fei is a famous anti-gold general in the ancient Dragon Kingdom, and his integrity and spirit are far more valuable than this short knife." Yang nodded Zhi Tianxiu, and said lightly: "Therefore, the value of any item is still the previous holder, in other words, if this knife is Qin Hui's belongings, not to mention whether it is worth so much money, it is a question whether it can be sold." Of course, I'm just looking at it from my personal point of view, for those who like to collect antiques, it doesn't matter who owned the thing before. After a pause, he said, "But if you want me to pay so much money to buy this short knife, I am reluctant." ”
"It seems that Mr. Yang likes this short knife." Jia Hui rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Yang likes it, why don't I take a picture of it and give it to Mr. Yang?" As the so-called sword gives to heroes, there is no one else in this world who is worthy of this short knife except Mr. Yang. ”
"Mr. Jia should pay attention to his words." Yang flicked the cigarette ash and said coldly: "There are some things I don't want to say a second time." If Mr. Jia really has a heart, it is better to donate the money to buy knives to those in need. The good deeds done by Mr. Jia will naturally be remembered by history, and maybe in a few hundred years, Mr. Jia's belongings will become very valuable. ”
Jia Hui thought that his words had touched Yang Yi's bottom line again, and he hurriedly laughed twice, not daring to mention the matter of the short knife again.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Xia Ziyu said hello to Yang Yi and got up to go to the bathroom. At the same time, when the auctioneer shouted again for the third time, and was about to make the final decision, someone raised the price to 66 million.
"This gentleman is bidding sixty-six million! Is there anything more expensive than this gentleman? The auctioneer felt that he had set his own lifelong auction record tonight, and said excitedly: "This portable treasure knife from the Song Dynasty, Marshal Yue Fei, if no one increases the price, then it will be sold for 66 million to this gentleman." ”
"Seventy million!" After saying it was a woman sitting in the corner, this woman with a round hat and a half-bowed head, so that people could not see her clearly, and at the same time held up a sign to call out a higher price.
"There are really too many people in the Dragon Country, who are stupid and have a lot of money." Luo Dazhang, who had not spoken beside him, sighed: "70 million is enough for people to buy a mansion and live comfortably for a lifetime." And now you can only buy an ancient short knife. ”
"You can't say that." Yang Yi threw away the cigarette butt and said with a smile: "There are many things in the world that cannot be generalized. You may think that spending a lot of money on a short knife is a luxury, but the person who buys it may think that the antique you have bought for tens of millions is worth a thousand dollars. Everyone's spending power and concept are different, when you have a lot of money, you may think that spending hundreds of millions to buy an island is nothing, but at the same time, there will be people thinking about whether to spend 15 yuan to buy a pound of discounted pork. The imbalance of economic capacity will lead to the imbalance of consumption power, which is also where the Dragon Kingdom needs to make changes at present, and the gap between the rich and the poor will cause many undesirable consequences. ”
"I've already bid to 70 million, I don't know who else wants to increase the price!" Han Luo shook his head next to him: "I don't know if these are really for antiques or to advertise for the company or family they represent to gain fame." But in any case, their purpose has been achieved. ”
"Seven thousand five hundred and five!" At this time, a handsome young man suddenly held up a sign on the side and increased the price with an indifferent face. It was as if the price he had just said was just a number written with a pen, not a real dragon coin.
"This gentleman bids......" The auctioneer's excited forehead sweated, and he stammered a little. And before he could finish his sentence, the woman in the corner held up her sign almost at the same time: "Eighty million!" She called the price twice, but she didn't look up the whole time, as if she was doing something that had nothing to do with her.
"Why did Li Tianyou join in the fun?" Yang Yi saw that the young man was Li Tianyou, who had a personal grudge against him, and laughed and said, "If this bastard wasn't born well, he could have been imprisoned for the rest of his life just because of the incident last time!" Hey! Rich is good! Even this kind of thing can be easily fished out! ”
In the last counterfeit banknote incident, Li Tianyou colluded with Yamamoto Takeda, and was served by Yang and others. But in the end, it was some dispensable shrimp soldiers and crab generals who were imprisoned, and the real important people looked like they had nothing to do with the matter, and they were released within 24 hours, citing insufficient evidence.
Yang Yi also approached Li Ju for this matter, but the answer he got was pressure from above. Even if the Li Bureau wanted to do business, he couldn't do it, and in the end he could only release a few people.
"Ninety million!" Li Tianyou smiled coldly and looked at the woman in the corner, the expression on his face was obviously telling the other party that I was going to decide on this short knife.
The old man in black, who had shown great interest in the short knife before, could only shake his head and choose to give up when he saw that the price had increased to a range that he could not accept. Antiques are tempting, but it also depends on the price is very suitable. Buying an antique that exceeds its value is definitely more than worth the loss.
"Nine thousand and five hundred thousand!" The woman held up her sign and added a minimum price. At this moment, Xia Ziyu also came back and sat down, watching the two of them fight for antiques with great interest.
"Ninety-five million!" Li Tianyou didn't blink his eyelids, he was very confident that he could take down this short knife with his own financial resources. This dagger was given to him as a birthday present and must not fall into the hands of others.
"Ninety-five million and a half million!" The woman seems to be on the same page with Li Tianyou, no matter how much Li Tianyou makes, she will always only have 500,000 more than the other party.
"100 million!" Li Tianyou finally became a little angry, holding up his card and staring at the woman. The other party's whole face was under the round hat, and he couldn't see it clearly at all.
"One hundred and a half million!" The woman didn't even look at Li Tianyou, and held up the sign again.
Li Tianyou was already really angry and wanted to increase the price, but a young man next to him grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Although this short knife is good, it is definitely not worth 100 million." Why should Li Shao fight with a woman, 100 million can buy a lot of things that the head of the family likes. ”
Li Tianyou's eyes erupted with anger, and he finally sat down, finally stopped raising the price, and gave up the price competition for the short knife.
"Although this short knife is good, it is worth about 50 million at most." Yang Yi yawned and said, "Now there are people who are willing to buy it with 100 million, which is really admirable." Fortunately, all this money will be donated to Project Hope, which can be regarded as an indirect good deed! It's just that I don't know who this woman is, and she has such a big hand. ”
Xia Ziyu next to him didn't make a sound, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.
