Volume 13 The Old King Next Door, He Is a Legend_Chapter 42 Fierce Auction

Xu Danding should have seen something, so he stared at us, but he may not know that we came here to spend money to be uncles, and we will not stir up trouble. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

So even if he stares at us, he won't gain anything.

As for why Xu Danding would help the Ao brothers auction, this matter is complicated, and there are many things involved, but we can't guess.

Time passed little by little, and the number of people at the auction became more and more numerous.

After yesterday's trouble, the people who joined in the excitement have restrained their temperament and refused to come again, but those real buyers have been free and have gathered here.

Before I knew it, it was eleven o'clock, and I, Fat Yellow, and Alyssa were sitting down, when I saw an elderly white man in a suit and a small bow tie walk up to the stage, tapped the table with an auction mallet, and then began the auction scene.

The old man was very eloquent, and he talked and laughed so well that I had to concentrate on it so that I could hear his words and the meaning of the string of slang words clearly.

He broke for a while, first apologizing to everyone for yesterday's incident, and then saying a lot.

Finally, he stretched out his hands and introduced the first lot of the day.

The first auction item is a gold mask from the ancient Inca Empire, which is said to have been dug out of a sinkhole in the Andes Mountains of South America, and at the same time it was the famous Golden Scepter of the Inca Priest, which is said to have been obtained by the cardinal archbishop of the diocese of the United States and transported to the holy city of Vatican to be honored with the great Pope.

This is a heavyweight lot, and it is estimated that it is also for a deterrent effect, so it will be the first to take it out.

When the old man introduced this thing, the lights dimmed throughout the whole process, and then in the middle of the stage, the gold mask shrouded in explosion-proof glass slowly rose from the middle, and the light hit it, and then projected onto the big screen around the back and auction hall, and every cut corner and pattern of the gold mask was vividly visible, radiating a breathtaking charm.

As the close-up zoomed in, I heard countless people inhaling cold air.

The originally silent audience suddenly became lively, and the VIPs who came to participate in the auction discussed with the people next to them, obviously planning to pay a big price for this mysterious thing.

After the old man finished the introduction, he typed an appraisal report from the world's most authoritative appraisal agency on the big screen.

At the same time, the starting price of the lot appeared.

$27 million.

Each bidding price is not less than 100,000 US dollars.

The lights turned on, and the old man gracefully gave the buyers a certain time to appreciate and think, and then announced the opening of the auction.

I wasn't interested in it, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but Alyssa whispered next to me, talking about the dark ones and wizards that are rampant in North America today, many of them are followers from the ancient Inca kingdom, and they believe that this golden mask can bring them the power of the gods, so it is estimated that the competition will be fierce.

Sure enough, as Alyssa said, the gold mask, which was sold at auction for $27 million, rose to $40 million in almost an instant.

After 40 million dollars, there were not many people shouting, and by 45 million, there were only three.

A middle-aged man with a pale face and wearing a tuxedo, wishing others didn't know he was a blood clan, a fat man who was as fat as a pig and couldn't sit on a seat, and a hot beauty who couldn't sit still.

The three of them repeatedly bid for the price, and later, the big beauty withdrew from the competition.

Then the blood-like guy stopped bidding.

The first lot was sold for $54 million, which was exactly double the starting price.

No more, no less, as if it were deliberate.

The big fat man became the final winner, and after the hammer fell, he couldn't help but wave his hand at the hot big beauty who had competed with him before, and made a very obscene gesture.

The big beauty's face was as cold as ice, and she ignored him at all.

The subsequent lots became much more normal, with works from the three great masters of Renaissance literature and art, famous paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, paintings, paintings and antiques from ancient Chinese masters, objects used by famous people, and even top mansions on the West Coast of Los Angeles, and even fossilized dinosaur eggs from the Jurassic......

I ignore all these things, watching those people keep bidding, some more, some less, but all in all, it gives me the feeling that money is not money at all.

Such an amount, even if it is converted into happy beans, I feel a little unacceptable.

In short, this is a rich man's game, for me, it's just a lively burlesque, even if it is an auction of Dong Qichang and Tang Bohu's works, I don't have the slightest movement.

I don't pay attention to any of these things.

Time continued, and when a set of six thousand magnetic balls was displayed, the scene suddenly became lively again.

The Thousand Magnetic Spheres were a kind of spiritual sustenance for the ancient missionaries, and it is said that they were excavated from some powerful magnetite, and finally ground into spheres, which were used by the missionaries to play with, and in our words, this thing should be regarded as a magic weapon.

And this set caused a sensation because they were once blessed by Pope Benedict XV and followed the pope for more than five years.

This thing, in the minds of Christians, can be regarded as a holy object.

Because of this, after the start of the shooting, countless people competed, almost entering the white-hot stage, and in the end, it was auctioned for a huge high price of 167 million, and the most surprising thing is that the person who took this set of thousand magnets was actually the tuxedo man who competed for the golden mask before.

Looking at his pale face, thin lips and narrow eyes, people can't help but maliciously guess the identity of the other party, could it be a blood clan?

If that's the case, it's going to be a bit of fun.

And when the No. 76 buyer took this thing, a staff member immediately came over, checked with him, and asked him to go to the side to verify the capital, obviously afraid that something would go wrong.

In fact, we had already experienced it once when we entered the market, but this No. 76 made frequent shots just now, which was really a bit weird.

And when the other party took a picture of the thousand magnets, I felt a lot of malicious eyes looking at him.

The Pope's blessing of the thousand magnetic balls, this is a small climax of the auction, although the subsequent lots are still very good, but it seems to consume the passion of many people, the competition began to be less fierce, there are not many bidders, so that the transaction price is generally low, and there are even unsold lots.

Probably sensing the retreat of enthusiasm, the auction temporarily adjusted the order of the lots, and the third piece after the adjustment was exactly the brave heart we had been waiting for.

I was originally out of the world, but I became nervous in an instant.

As I sat down, I heard the old man explain the thing, including its origins and related experiences, and then began to talk about the uniqueness of the heart of the brave.

He said that this is a very mysterious jadeite, strictly speaking, it should be called amber, because in this piece of jade, contains a lion-like thing, although there is no way to prove, but there are still people willing to think that it is a life, in the world once existed, and then because of various changes, hidden in the ground, after tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years of crustal movement, finally became the current it......

At the end, the old man said impassionedly: "This is the famous heart of the brave!" ”

Starting bid: $51 million.

Each bid must not be less than $100,000.

After saying this, he glanced at the auction hammer lightly and said, "Please bid......

In addition to the previous MWs, this is the highest starting lot.

But when the old man opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly became cold.

Everyone is very interested in the thousand magnetospheres from the Vatican, but there is not much interest in a piece of jade from Lao Keng, Myanmar, after all, in the mainstream cultural circle of Europe and the United States, the pursuit of jade is far less persistent than the Chinese.

They don't identify with the culture that they relate.

So this "brave heart", at the beginning, was a little cold.

I saw that the people's interest was not high, and my heart suddenly jumped wildly, because if no one had raised the price with me, I should have been able to pocket this thing for a small price.

Thinking of this, I was about to raise a sign, but at this moment, someone held up a sign in front of me.

No. 105 plate, bid 54 million.

Directly raise the price by $4 million.

That's a real bargain, considering that many of today's lots don't necessarily cost $4 million.

I squinted my eyes and looked over, only to see that the one who was competing with me for the "heart of the brave" was actually the glamorous woman who had snatched the golden mask before.

I didn't hesitate any longer, just raised the racket and said, "Five five million." ”

"Eight-thousand-thousand."

The other party shouted the price, and I didn't hesitate, and after feeling the other party's insistence, I was silent for a few seconds, and then the bid went straight to 65 million US dollars.

My bid made the crowd cheer at once.

It is rare to bid so hard at auctions, and it is usually the people who are determined to win this price.

The beauty felt my resoluteness and hesitated, and the host began to shout, once, twice......

Just as he was about to drop the gavel, suddenly someone raised his card again.

Sixty-five million and a half million.

When I heard this amount, my eyes widened and I looked towards the bidder.

It was actually the dead fat man from before.
