Chapter 92: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
The person who shouted the price was the dark chess specially arranged by Li Yan - Dewey!
Originally, he wanted to install an employee of Yanyu Company in the crowd as a dark chess piece. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, after seeing Dewey's initiative on the first day, Li Yan had the idea of directly looking for him to replace him.
After some discussion, Dewey readily agreed. He naturally likes this kind of behavior of making fun of others, especially the Japanese.
"37 million!"
Frowning and glancing at Dewey, the Japanese pondered for a moment and then followed.
"40 million!"
It's not a big deal to see the excitement, Dewey, who has already figured out the thoughts of the Japanese, didn't move his eyelids, and opened his mouth to raise the price.
"42 million!"
Dewey had also auctioned some gadgets in the auction two days before, so these Japanese people were not sure whether he was maliciously raising the price. After some hesitation, he gritted his teeth and followed.
After looking at the quotation, the Japanese who lowered their heads and whispered, Li Yan's heart moved, and he released the souls of the dead. After a few seconds, he frowned, took out his phone and sent Dewey a text message.
"44 million!"
Dewey, who received Li Yan's text message, didn't say a word, and directly raised a sign and shouted.
The Japanese exchanged glances with each other, and it was not until a middle-aged man at the head nodded that he continued to quote: "45 million!" ”
"46 million!"
Before the Japanese put down the number plate in their hands, Dewey's shouting followed suit, as if he was determined to win.
"Mr. Kojima, what should I do?"
"Directly report 48 million!"
"48 million? That's not our ......"
"Yaga! Where did so much nonsense come from! If you want to report it, you will report it! ”
was reprimanded by the leader, and the Japanese who made the offer no longer dared to have any objections, and immediately raised his card and shouted: "48 million!" ”
Seeing Dewey looking at him unsatisfied, Li Yan shook his head slightly, signaling him not to follow him anymore. According to the news from the ghost just now, this 48 million should be the last price in the hearts of the Japanese! If Dewey followed at this time, it was likely to be self-defeating and smash this katana that Li Yan didn't like very much in his hand.
With a pretentious sigh, Dewey sat back in his chair and did not continue to offer.
"The Japanese friend of No. 77 quoted 48 million! Is there a higher price than this? ”
"48 million for the first time!"
"48 million for the second time!"
"48 million for the third time!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Kojima No. 77 from Japan for taking this katana from Tokugawa Yasujo!"
The sparse applause did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the Japanese, as if they had won a great victory, and several Japanese people were all excited, and from time to time they congratulated the Japanese named Kojima who was the leader.
However, the auctioneer's next words made these Japanese people stunned and stayed there for an instant. "The following collection is also from Japan, which is a strip of water with us! Coincidentally, it is also related to Tokugawa Ieyasu! Let's please the next lot! ”
"It's ......"
The audience looked at the lots brought by Miss Manners, all of them looked puzzled, and the anxious people had already begun to bow their heads and rummage through the lot list.
Because it is something from Japan, Chinese collectors naturally have a kind of resistance mentality, and naturally they do not pay much attention to these things.
But on the Japanese side, as soon as the auction came on stage, they were already whispering, and their expressions were even more nervous than just now!
"As we all know, the three heroes of Japan's Warring States, in addition to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the remaining two are Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga. The relationship between these three heroes who have left their names in the history of Japan is also extremely complicated! ”
(Interested friends can search for their own confusion between these three.) From allies and enemies to kings and ministers, and in-laws, the relationship between them is simply chaotic to the extreme! )
"And this lot of ours is extremely rare to include all the handwriting of the three people! Next, let's take a look at the demeanor of these three peerless overlords hundreds of years ago! ”
Through the projection equipment on the stage, the auctioneer magnified a silk in his hand in front of the bidders.
During the Warring States period, Japanese society still used the regular traditional Chinese script, and there was no widespread use of flat and fake characters later. Therefore, even though they belong to two countries and are separated by hundreds of years, people can still vaguely understand the things described above.
On the silk, a virtuous monk described in the world has successively persuaded these three most prestigious names at that time, hoping that they can stop the war and jointly support the rule of the Japanese emperor, so as to relieve the suffering of the common people from war.
However, this desire to only exist in an ideal world was naturally rejected by the trio. However, because the other party was a well-known and eminent monk, and he was acting in the name of the Japanese emperor, the three of them did not embarrass him, and they treated him well and sent him away.
And among the many daimyo inscriptions under this silk silk, there are the notes of the three heroes of the Warring States, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi!
The handwriting on the silk has been identified by the relevant experts of the Japan International Museum and confirmed to be the authenticity of the three people! The material of the silk itself, after carbon-14 determination, shows that the year is more than 300 years old! With our own reputation for decades, Guardian guarantees that this rare historical artifact is absolutely authentic and reliable! ”
After the auctioneer's enthusiastic introduction, the Chinese people in the audience reacted very flatly. To them, the three of them were just familiar names, the names they had occasionally heard in history textbooks, and the rest were completely indifferent.
But for the Japanese, they are big names who are household names! Moreover, it is a three-person combination that has never appeared in history! This kind of shock is far more amazing than the katana that appeared before!
"Japan's Warring States Three Heroes handwritten calligraphy, the starting price is 7 million! Each increase is not less than 500,000! Let's start shooting! ”
"7 million!"
"7.5 million!"
"8 million!"
"9 million!"
……
Although the Chinese people are not interested in this lot, as big collectors and successful businessmen, they are naturally not stupid. The overreaction of the Japanese has clearly illustrated the potential value of this thing. Even if they don't collect it themselves, it's a good choice to get it in their hands as an investment commodity!
The bidders who attended the auction on the last day were all big money owners worth hundreds of millions. After just a few minutes of price increase, the price of the silk has been several times in a row, and it has been raised to the range of 30 million.
"33 million!"
It's Dewey who is taking the opportunity to make trouble, this kid seems to be addicted, no matter who quotes, as long as there is a slight gap, he will immediately rush forward.
"35 million!"
"38 million!"
……
The competition for this thing is obviously fiercer than the previous katana. In addition to the Japanese and Dewey, four or five Chinese antiquities dealers joined in, raising the price continuously.
"56 million!"
However, the ambition of the Japanese is clearly superior. This kind of cultural relic, which can basically be called a national treasure of Japan, if it is snatched by outsiders, then when they return home, they will definitely be drowned by the angry Japanese people!
"60 million!"
This is already clearly an inflated price, from a Southeast Asian antiquities investor. However, looking at his gloomy face, this seems to be the last price in his heart.
"62 million!"
Sure enough, after the Japanese raised the price again, the Southeast Asian antiquities dealer frowned slightly, and after a deep sigh, he withdrew from the auction.
After three bidding sessions, the auction hammer fell, and the silk became a treasure in the relief of the Japanese.
However, the auctioneer's next words almost drove them crazy, "The next lot, also from Japan, is ......"
Looking at the expressions of the group of Japanese who were almost crazy, the corners of Li Yan's mouth raised, this was the link he had designed at the beginning. The Japanese cultural relics screened from the treasure were arranged by him in order of value, in order to completely squeeze the money out of the pockets of this group of Japanese!
knew that this was a trap set by the other party, but the pressure from Japan did not allow them to escape. After exchanging glances helplessly, the group of Japanese raised the number plate in their hands again.
