"Isn't anyone willing to bid? Well, this [Creek Bank Map] belongs to Boss Zhou. Seeing Jin Zaixing sneering and pouting, while the others were silent, and asked twice if the old state continued, Sean suddenly laughed and announced that the creek bank map in his hand was photographed by Zhou Mingluo.

And at this moment, this one was also a little suspicious, was Zhou Mingluo blinded, or did he deliberately pretend to be eye-piercing and ready to dig a pit to let Jin Zaixing jump? But no matter what, Kim Jae-xing didn't jump into this pit, which means that Boss Zhou miscalculated.

This time he made a loss, but he exchanged a fake landscape painting for 100,000 US dollars for nothing, and he made a lot of money!

Not only Sean, but seeing that Zhou Mingluo also began to ask Wang You'an beside him to count the money and pay, Jin Zaixing suddenly showed a mouthful of good white teeth, and smiled at Xiao Zhou very brightly.

It's a little bit, you still want to pit brother like this, and it's almost the same as pit yourself.

And the other Caton and the others were all a little speechless, as if someone wanted to laugh, and they couldn't hold back the smile, but they just glanced at Zhou Mingluo strangely.

"Mingluo, something is wrong, I see how these guys' expressions seem like we are losing money, this painting can't be fake, right, you just wanted to pit that surnamed Jin? You won't get yourself into it. Huang Jingjing looked at the expressions of the people around him, and suddenly came over, although he was not proficient in the authenticity of antiques, but as long as he could look at people's faces, he could guess the approximately.

"It's fine." Of course, Zhou Mingluo knows everyone's thoughts, but he also has a little pain in the bright smile that Kim Jae-xing throws, if he has the opportunity, he must make this guy who thinks he is scratching the wind suffer.

Did he really think he had jumped into the pit he had dug? They don't compete, so they can pick up this leak.

But now Zhou Mingluo can't directly tell Huang Jingjing that this thing actually has a painting in the painting, they think they have jumped into their pit, that is.

"Okay, let's ask for our fourth auction item today, a gold coin from the reign of Alexander the Great of the Macedonian Empire of ancient Greece, this gold coin is an uncirculated sample, the meaning is needless to say, the low price is 20,000 US dollars."

After Zhou Mingluo chuckled, Sean looked around the living room again and spoke, and with these words, the blonde young man from before walked out of the inner room again, still holding a delicate packaging box in his hand.

Almost at the same time, almost all the whites present stood on their feet.

A pattern of gold coins minted during the reign of Alexander the Great, King of Macedon in ancient Greece? This commemorative significance is really not small.

Ancient Greece is the source of Western history, which does not simply refer to a country, but to a region, and the region of ancient Greece at that time refers to the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula today, the western coast of the Asia Minor Peninsula, and many small islands in the Aegean Sea. Similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, the city-states of various countries were opposed to each other, but they considered each other to be the same whole, and if there was an invasion by foreign enemies, they would join forces to resist, and there were wars between them as well.

After the end of the Greco-Persian Wars, the war between the ancient Greek and Persian empires, this region was highly prosperous economically, giving rise to a glorious Greek culture, which was later continued by the ancient Romans and became the spiritual source of the entire Western civilization.

Alexander the Great, the king of Macedon in ancient Greece, was a very famous military strategist and statesman, who conquered the east and west in just 13 years of reign, first established his rule in the whole of Greece, and then destroyed the Persian Empire, and established a huge empire with Babylon as its capital in the region across Europe and Asia, from Macedonia in Greece in the west, to the Indus Valley in the east, to the first waterfall of the Nile River in the south, and to the medicine and water in the north.

The great achievements of this one can be said to be the same as Qin Yingzheng's domination of the world after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient China, and may also surpass Yingzheng, because it not only unified the ancient Greek region.

It's a pity that such a strong guy died of illness 13 years after ascending to the throne of the Emperor, and the huge empire he created by him also fell apart and was divided and eaten up by many of his subordinates.

It marks the end of ancient Greek history.

The difference between this history and China is that since this emperor, no one has established a unified empire again like Han Gaozu after Emperor Qin, otherwise whether the situation in Europe is still like this today is worth scrutinizing.

And is this the gold coin minted during the reign of the last great emperor who represents the origin of Western history and the source of civilization, or is it an unissued pattern coin?

It was commemorative enough to make all the guys from the West a little excited.

If there is such a gold coin in hand, rubbing the metallic surface of the coin, I am afraid that any collector will inevitably think of the famous emperor and remember his great achievements.

Something like this starts at $20,000? It's not expensive, it's not expensive, at least a few white collectors in the room think it's worth it.

Of course, it was only minted by Alexander the Great's men, not by the Emperor himself, and even if this mint was only a pattern, it was impossible to mint only one or two but definitely a batch, but the problem is that this thing has been passed down to the present very rare.

After all, the pattern coin is not really a gold coin in circulation, and its value is much more than that of the currency in circulation.

For example, the market price of a three-year Yuan Shikai sample coin of the Republic of China is about 100,000 yuan, but if it is a silver coin of the third year of the Republic of China that has been used, the market price is basically a few thousand yuan, which is the gap between the pattern and the use of coins, which is basically more than ten times the price difference.

The reason is simple, the number of patterns is definitely far lower than the actual circulating use coins, and the pattern coins are a template for use coins, and all use coins are minted according to the pattern coins.

As long as the coin is genuine, they will be willing to spend far more than the price it should be on the black market.

They all stepped forward, and everyone began to look at the gold coin placed on the table, Zhou Mingluo did the same, and when he saw a palm-sized head, the front was engraved with the head of Athena wearing an Ati-style helmet, and the helmet had a gold coin with a griffin pattern, and there were some ancient Greek characters on this gold coin, but ...... Well, even though Zhou Mingluo has always been very diligent and studious, and recently learned a lot of Western things from Zhao Lao, Song Lao and others, but he didn't know any of the ancient Greek characters, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

However, since this is a pattern coin, the content of those words can be roughly guessed.

When someone reached out and picked up the gold coin and turned the back upside down, he saw a portrait of the goddess of victory, which was the appearance of the whole gold coin, and after a few careful looks, he also found a certain humanistic fire from the gold coin, which was beyond the original state, but it was only more than ten times larger than the match flame, dozens of centimeters in height.

"This thing is not small in terms of commemorative significance, but the tone on it should not be too much." The gold coin should be real, it is really one of the patterns minted by Alexander the Great when he created the huge empire in his hand, but Zhou Mingluo immediately gave up the idea of competition, this thing The fire of humanity is too small, and the literary atmosphere is also less, and a few Caucasian people are only impulsive about his commemorative significance, he will not be stupid.

"Something is real, I'll pay $200,000!"

Zhou Mingluo also muttered, and after a few white people watched it carefully, Caton spoke directly and walked back to his seat with a calm face.

It's also a sentence, and several other guys who are also interested in this gold coin were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at it dumbfounded, Nima, isn't it? $200,000? The starting price of this gold coin is only 20,000 yuan, even if its commemorative significance exceeds this price, it can't be committed to increasing the price by 10 times at a time, which is simply too ruthless.

And $200,000 is basically more than the market price of this thing.

A Macedonian Empire gold coin that really flowed through is estimated to have a market price of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, or 6,700 US dollars, so the market price of its pattern is more than 100,000 US dollars...... This is still the market price, not the black market price, and it turns out that it is good for this old thing to be stuck, and it is quoted at such a ruthless price at one time.

Of course, in fact, the trial mint sample can also be sold at a normal auction house, after all, there will not be only one thing, and there is no need to be afraid of trouble with the origin, but even so, the price of the old Caton seems to be too ruthless.

Even Sean was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Caton in surprise, although this sentence was calm, it was definitely full of domineering, he also knew that this gold coin would not be sold too cheaply, and he did not hand it over to the regular auction house but auctioned it himself, because he felt that there was no shortage of big bosses here, and the bosses could clearly buy this gold coin without worrying about trouble, so they would naturally rest assured that they would open the price, and he didn't need to waste that time, but he didn't expect Caton to be so fierce as soon as he opened his mouth, and that kind of imperative idea, It was clearly told to everyone present at this moment.

When the others looked at him, Caton sat down calmly, as if the numbers reported were not important at all, and took a sip of tea from the teacup on his side, before he swept lightly to the left and right.

He paid such a high price at the beginning to really shake the field, this thing is of great commemorative significance, and it has a lot of temptation for various Western collectors, it is certain that even if he doesn't say 200,000 US dollars now, wait for others to add tens of thousands of dollars each time, or it will soar in a while, at least to the point of more than 100,000 US dollars, it is better to bluff away most of the opponents at the beginning.

"I'll give 250,000!"

Caton's flat and deep gaze swept over, and a group of talents suppressed their previous surprise and walked back to their seats one by one, most of them had lost the confidence to compete with Caton, but there was also a middle-aged man who raised his hand after hesitating.

"400,000!" As soon as the other party's words landed, Caton's flat voice reappeared, instantly making the middle-aged man a little speechless, this belief in getting this gold coin is really strong, and he really doesn't want to continue to fight.

After all, the market price of this thing should only be more than 100,000 US dollars.

Even if it's hard to buy a favorite, it doesn't seem to be so silvery.

"$400,000, is there any boss willing to bid?" It was also at this time that Sean was finally overjoyed, and asked directly with a smile, awesome, don't antique sellers like to meet this kind of person the most.

asked a group of people who didn't answer at all, Zhou Mingluo, Huang Jingjing's expression was the most relaxed, she had no love for this gold coin at all, Jin Zaixing was also the same, those white people were a little reluctant, but it seemed that no one dared to argue with Caton anymore, even the middle-aged man who had made a price once.

Seeing this, Sean sighed, this thing should be stuck.

But at this moment, the venue, which was silent before, suddenly sounded a soft sound, and followed by Jin Zaixing, and raised his right hand with a sigh.

"Hey, how much does Boss Jin have to give?" In auctions, a raise of hand is equal to a bid. There is a bottom line of price increase every time in the regular auction, such as not less than 1,000 or 10,000 each time, etc., if only you add according to the bottom limit, then you don't need to open your mouth and just hold up the sign, the black market naturally will not have a number plate and the like, and the rule that everyone acquiesces to is to either raise your hand to offer, or simply not raise your hand and speak directly.

But as long as you raise your hand, it means that you want to increase the price.

It's like the auctioneer in a regular auction house asks if there is a bid after several times, and you suddenly raise the number plate in your hand, and everyone knows that you are bidding!

But Sean was really a little surprised, just now I saw that Kim Jae-xing, a South Korean who was not interested in that gold coin at all, of course, whether he was interested or not, since he was going to compete, Sean was also happy to welcome it.

And at this moment, not only Sean, almost everyone in the entire living room looked at Kim Jae-xing, it was indeed unexpected, not to mention whether a Korean has so much enthusiasm for an antiquity in the charter of Western history and civilization, and under such a fierce offensive of Caton, he would still make a move?

However, it seems that today's black market does not stipulate a minimum mark-up limit, why don't you just raise your hand? Is it still a dollar markup? Well, even if there is no minimum limit, but one dollar is definitely the minimum, it is impossible for you to add one penny and one penny, so that the black market boss will have to slap you!

"Boss Jin, is this a dollar increase?" glanced at Jin Zaixing, and before waiting for the other party's opening, Caton's face suddenly became stunned, Nima, what is this Korean stick doing? I just messed with Zhou Mingluo just now, and I was disgusted by others, but now I'm here to disgust myself? I don't seem to have any grudges with him, so this stick is a mad dog? Bite when you see someone?

"It's not ......" With Caton's cold words, Jin Zaixing's face instantly became gloomy, indeed, he is really a little collapsed now, because this time it was not his intention to raise his hand, he really didn't want to compete for this gold coin, just now he was sitting comfortably watching the dragon fight, and suddenly he felt a numbness in his elbow, as if he was electrocuted, and following the natural reaction of his limbs, one arm was suddenly raised.

He really didn't want to increase the price, and even if he wanted to increase the price, he couldn't just raise his hand and not speak to make others mistakenly think that he wanted to add only one dollar. He doesn't care about offending Zhou Mingluo, but he can't be disgusted when he sees people, and he can offend when he sees people, and they are all offended big bosses? Isn't this looking for death, so naturally hastened to shirk it at this moment.

"And how much do you add?" Caton's face is still gloomy, Nima, you don't add a dollar, then you speak.

"I ......" Jin Zaixing was dumbfounded again, he really didn't want to raise his hand to increase the price, but just now his elbow was electrocuted and his body reacted involuntarily, but the question is that now that everyone is looking at him with attention, can he say this kind of thing? His elbow was electrified, what was it electrified?

He was smoking a cigar with his elbow in the air just now, and he was electrocuted by the air?

If you really want to explain that you are not preparing to increase the price but the natural physical reaction after being paralyzed by electricity, no one will believe him, everyone will only think that he is deliberately making trouble, and the same will offend Caton, if you don't raise the price and raise your hand randomly, isn't it playing him, and the same will offend Sean, the organizer of the auction.

"Say! What's going on? He scolded in his heart, and after thinking quickly, although Jin Zaixing was helpless, he still had to say, "I'll pay $410,000!" ”

It's better to admit that he wants to increase the price, if that thing really wants him to spend $410,000 to buy it back, it's definitely not worth it, but what else can he say now, anyway, depending on the situation, Caton is inevitable, and he will definitely bid.

"Good! Boss Kim bid $410,000, is Mr. Caton still willing to continue bidding? Hearing that Kim Jae-xing finally reported the answer, Sean was overjoyed and looked at Caton with a smile.

Now that there are competitors again, won't he make more money?

However, Caton didn't speak immediately this time, first carefully examined Jin Zaixing, and took a sip of tea before saying lightly, "I'll pay 500,000." ”

Although this product is not added to one dollar, it is only added to ten thousand, and it is not obvious that he is disgusted.

"500,000, what does Boss Jin mean?" Sean was overjoyed again, and hurriedly looked at Kim Jae-xing with eagerness.

And Kim Jae-xing also quickly regained his previous composure, last time it was an accident, how could he be stupid enough to continue to increase the price now, slowly lowered his head and did not look at Sean, but he began to think about what was the reason for his elbow to feel as if he was electrolyzed just now, strange, strange.

"Heh, it seems that Boss Kim is unwilling to compete with Mr. Caton anymore, so this ......" Seeing Jin Zaixing bow his head, Sean immediately knew that this one was going to give up. But he was only halfway through his mouth, and Jin Zaixing, who was bowing his head, raised his right hand again!!

"Ah, Boss Jin has bid again, it's really bold!"

Raised his hand again, it turned out that this guy just lowered his head and thought that he was not going to give up but was still hesitating, great, great.

But with these words, Jin Zaixing raised his head instantly, his face barely suppressed his calmness, but he scolded in his heart, so bold? Rinima, why is it here again? He still didn't want to increase the price this time, he was still suddenly electrocuted again, and he was thinking about why he felt that way, why did that feeling come again?

But I have to say, he raised his hand again!

There is a tacit rule that raising his hand at the black market auction is a price increase, and there is also a precedent that he was forced to admit that he was a price increase after raising his hand once before, what can he do now? Seeing Sean looking at him with surprise, everyone else was surprised, but Caton swept his gaze like a knife, and he also forced his heart to cry without tears, and said, "I'll pay $510,000!" ”

Said, what is going on, is it that my elbow joint is sick, or my clothes have static electricity, etc., but even if there is, I can't make a mess at this time.

There were some small collapses, but Kim Jae-xing made up his mind, and after this time the price was raised, he immediately put away his right hand, and he must not mess around like this again.

(To be continued)
