At the same time, the conversation in the room was momentarily still, and the eyes were all looking at the elegant old auctioneer in a suit and leather shoes and bow tie.

The auctioneer put on white gloves and nodded politely before picking up the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first quarterly sale of this spring at Wanbao Auction House." Then the old man said again in English, although Gu Cheng's English had improved a lot, his listening still couldn't keep up, and he barely knew that he was welcome.

There were a few clappings, and then the auctioneer didn't say much, and after a few simple words about the basic rules, the first treasure was served.

The baby was a plate, but it was the size of a palm, and its round side was displayed on a red cloth for everyone to see. The auctioneer also gives its information.

Very simple hors d'oeuvres, starting at 100,000 yuan, several sellers added a few times, and no one shouted when it reached 180,000, and the auctioneer confirmed it again and again, and then made a final decision, and this treasure had a home.

The second is a black square box. Gu Cheng couldn't see anything at all, but he had a background. It is a black lacquer painted gold two dragons playing with pearls in the Ming Wanli period.

The bottom book "Ming Wanli year" square block paragraph.

There are more bidders for this item, and maybe someone has come specifically for it. The starting price was 300,000 yuan, then it was increased by 5,500,000 yuan, and finally it was directly 11,000 yuan, and finally it was purchased by a middle-aged man for 920,000 yuan.

Subsequently, four more treasures were sold in succession, only one of which was unsold, and the rest were all successfully sold. At this time, the general atmosphere of the occasion gradually warmed up, and the hearts of buyers began to be excited.

The more Gu Cheng looked at it, the more smiles appeared on his face, such a good scene now shows that there is a lot of money today, and he will be able to earn more later.

Another transaction was made, and this time it was a small bottle, which could be seen from the expression of the staff.

A blue and white bamboo crane pattern gall bottle of the Yuan Dynasty. The bottle has a round mouth, a long straight neck, a sloping shoulder, a bulging abdomen, a gradual closure of the abdomen to the shins, and a circled foot.

Spread the wings and fly a crane next to the bamboo, the long neck is bent, the crane feathers are plump, the crane claws are slender, the posture is elegant, there are auspicious clouds under it, and the fairyland is swimming.

This is already the penultimate lot, and many bidders who had been waiting on the sidelines have begun to bid.

"A million starting prices! Bid at least 10,000 each time! The auctioneer said the rules, and then motioned for the start.

"One million and one million!" As soon as she finished speaking, a young woman made a bid.

"One and a half million!" Then an elderly man shouted.

“￥%%……*。” It's a foreigner, and he speaks bird language that Gu Cheng doesn't understand. Gu Cheng was confused when he heard this, and hurriedly asked his sister.

"Sister Lian, what did he say?"

"Hehe, he shouted in French, which means two million. Really, I don't need to find a translator. Lian Yaxin said with a smile.

In fact, the man had an interpreter, but he was in a hurry, and then a man with glasses stood up next to the foreigner and said, "My boss asked for two million." ”

After finding a funny episode, the atmosphere of urgency did not relax, followed by several waves of price hikes of half a million, and then the growth rate slowed down. It gradually became a price increase of tens of thousands. In the end, this blue and white bamboo crane pattern gallbladder bottle of the Yuan Dynasty was sold at a final price of 5.62 million.

When the bottle was traded, Gu Chengde noticed that the air in the venue had become urgent, except for the scattered coughing sounds, there was no movement, and it was really an environment that could be heard when a needle fell on the ground.

Gu Cheng's breathing was also short, and then looked at Lian Yaxin beside her, although she was calm on the surface, it could be seen from the ups and downs of her delicate breasts that she was actually very nervous. Come to think of it, ginseng is sold at a high price or even sky-high price, and Wanbao Auction House is also very profitable!

"Ahem!" The auctioneer's face, which was as calm as Lao Jing, finally fluctuated, and a trace of blush flashed.

"Below, here are the final items from the first auction this spring. Please enjoy it carefully. After speaking, the two staff members carefully carried the 10,000-year-old ginseng installed by a transparent bulletproof glass box.

"This ginseng, is a teenager from the largest mountain in China is fortunate to dig, please see, according to the identification of Wanbao staff, this ginseng, weighing 12745.796 grams, the top of the green leaves placed for more than a month, is still green, the main root circumference is 36.14cm, the longest root length is 145.7cm. And the year of it. ”

Speaking of which, the auctioneer looked at the fiery eyes below and said bewildermently.

"According to the test, the time when this 10,000-year-old ginseng was born was at least more than 36,000 years ago!"

"Wow!" 36,000 years? As soon as the auctioneer's words came out, everyone in the audience who was originally calm was in an uproar, thinking that Wannian ginseng was just a slogan for propaganda. When the auction begins, the exact year will be clearly stated. But no one would have thought that it was actually a real 10,000-year-old ginseng, and it was at least more than 30,000 years old!!

One hundred years, it can be called a cultural relic! For a thousand years, that's a national treasure! As for 10,000 years, that's an archaeological object that will enter the museums of various countries! Ginseng, a plant that is not often auctioned, ignited everyone's passion this time.

"Excuse me, is this a little baby?" A blonde woman couldn't hold back the fear in her heart, and stood up with her mouth covered and asked.

Originally, her behavior was extremely inappropriate. But the auctioneer looked at the people in the hall who were shocked by the shape of the 10,000-year-old ginseng, and remembered the surprise he saw at first sight, and explained.

"Honorable lady, this is a ginseng!"

"In my country, there have been many legends and stories about ginseng spirits since ancient times, most of which are far-fetched and unbelievable. The so-called people's participation in the race is even more of a rumor, but after seeing this 10,000-year-old ginseng, what do you think in your heart? ”

Push in the afternoon! After months of hard work, we have finally come here. The atmosphere of the New Year is strong with the sound of firecrackers, but the rented room is as cold as the outside. There is no one living there, and only Feihong is left. The restaurants are also closed, and I bought packs of quick-frozen dumplings to eat in the evening for the New Year! I didn't feel that hard, because this was a struggle for my ideals! It's just cold, it's too cold. The snow on the windowsill does not melt, standing in the window and looking out at a white world, there is no heating facilities, frozen to the cold in the bones! This year's Chinese New Year is destined not to be forgotten!
