At the beginning, Chu Nan felt that Zhang Lao liked strange stones, and the other party was good to him, so he paid for those two strange stones. Of course, in the strange stone shop on the side of the antique street, the price marked by the other party at the beginning was 3 million a piece, 4 million a piece, and Chu Nan bargained the price after the last, and bought the two together, spending a total of 6 million.

Six million yuan is not a small amount of money, as for what the two strange stones have been collected by the strange stone shop owner, and they have not taken them out for auction or sold to others, Chu Nan does not know.

"Chu Nan, that carp strange stone, I studied it some time ago, it may be a little strange."

"Shi Lao, what's so strange?"

"Probably a funerary object."

Zhang Lao said.

After all, in ancient times, the strange stone has always existed, so the carp strange stone as a burial object did not feel strange.

Of course, if it is a funerary object, it is likely that someone else robbed the tomb and stole it, and then sold it to a collection store. Therefore, although the carp strange stone looks also very precious, the store does not dare to publicize it, for fear of being known by the police.

Then it may have been Chu Nan who bought it, and the shopkeeper sold it to Chu Nan at a low price.

"Funeral goods? No wonder the shopkeeper looked at me strangely when I bought it that day. ”

"However, the price of that carp stone may be more expensive, and it may be the burial object of a prince in ancient times."

Zhang Lao is a famous jade carver, and a master of strange stones, but also an expert in historical relics, but he does not study in this area, most of the time is spent on jade carvings and strange stones, as for teaching ancient history in class, it is very easy for Zhang Lao.

However, the ancient feudal social hierarchy was very strict, if the carp stone was used as a burial object, the owner of the burial goods, if it was not a wealthy businessman, it was the prince's rank and the royal relatives could have that kind of item for burial.

Now, though, Chu Nan wasn't interested in those.

Soon, when the host finished introducing the toad strange stone, he also said.

"This strange stone is from Chinese mainland, and the reserve price is 800,000 US dollars, and the price is increased by 100,000 US dollars each time."

Those who are rich, collectors start bidding.

"A million." ……

"One and a half million." ……

"One million eight million." ……

At this time, Chu Nan heard the crazy shouts of the rich people and collectors below, and felt that these rich people were really crazy. When he was in Jinling, he bought three million yuan, equivalent to 500,000 US dollars, and now it has soared so much.

"Elder Zhang, how much do you think that strange stone is worth?"

"This fluctuation is a bit large, maybe between 20 million yuan and 50 million yuan, and if someone really likes it, the price will naturally be higher."

Hearing this, Chu Nan could almost swallow a duck egg.

Although Chu Nan saw those crazy ones when he was bidding for jade and jade, he hadn't seen such crazy ones yet. Of course, there were more bidders here at Sotheby's than in China, and this time there were Chinese from all over the world, as well as many other collectors of strange stones.

Therefore, the bidding will be more intense.

When Chu Nan looked down, he heard someone shouting.

"Three million." ……

"Three million six thousand." ……

"Four million." ……

"Five million." ……

"Five million two hundred thousand."

When he heard this voice shouting, the other voices stopped, five million two thousand dollars was equivalent to more than three million yuan, which was more than ten times higher than the price that Chu Nan had just bought for the strange stone.

Of course, this is also the case at auctions, if more people bid, it will undoubtedly increase the original starting price a lot.

"Five million two million, for the first time." ……

"Five million two million, the second time." ……

"Five million two million, the third time."

When it was confirmed that there was really no one bidding, the host struck a hammer.

"Congratulations on the successful bidding for Room 2."

It may be that Zhang Lao and Liu Fen have really seen a lot in this regard, so the two of them didn't say anything, and Chu Nan's expression, in the eyes of the two, may be the first time they have seen it.

However, the last time Chu Nan auctioned those jade and jade stones, he was worth more than 100 million, so naturally he didn't have anything.

Now I have successfully bid for the toad stone at a high price, and the rest is the carp stone.

And that carp strange stone, whether it is a collection value, or ornamental value, or because it also belongs to the class of feng shui stones, the price is higher than the success of the auction of the toad strange stone just now.

Of course, the main reason is that the other party turned out to be a prince-level burial object with historical value.

Therefore, when the host announced that he had finished talking about the carp strange stone, he also began to speak.

"This strange stone, also in Chinese mainland, has a starting price of one million US dollars, and each increase in price starts at half a million US dollars."

"Two million." ……

"Three million." ……

"Five million." ……

Nowadays, the people who bid for that strange stone are basically the kind of people who are very rich, so there are not many bidders who shout it, but every time it is shouted, it attracts a lot of people's attention.

"Seven million." ……

"Nine million." ……

"Eleven million." ……

"Fifteen million."

When this price was shouted, all the voices stopped, because this price means that it is close to 100 million yuan. And in those original strange stones, the top ten strange stones are also only a few more than 100 million yuan.

The host's eyes looked around, and when he found that there was no voice to shout again, he could only speak.

"Fifteen million dollars, for the first time."

"Fifteen million dollars, a second time."

"Fifteen million dollars, the third time."

The other party slapped it again and said.

"Congratulations to the successful bidding for VIP Room 5."

Now this strange stone auction is over, of course, the price of the last two strange stones has exceeded 100 million, and it is already a good auction.

And now the time is also close to six o'clock in the evening, when Chu Nan and Zhang Lao were about to leave, the general manager of Sotheby's came over in person, looked at Chu Nan and said.

"Mr. Chu, how will the auction money be paid to you?"

"Get me a Swiss bank card directly and send it all in."

"It's good."

Since it is inconvenient to use a domestic bank card abroad, or even in Hong Kong, Chu Nan still simply applies to a bank card of a Swiss bank, so that it can be used anywhere.

When Chu Nan and Zhang Lao took the car back to the hotel for lunch, the Sotheby's auction had already sent the bank card in person.
