Chapter 301: Auction (4)

Seeing the enthusiastic response of the people below, the auctioneer was also secretly impressed by their appreciation ability, and he paused and said: "The next lot is donated by an old gentleman who has lived overseas for many years, and it has been passed down from his family for three generations. When it was sent to the Foundation before, we didn't dare to confirm that it was genuine, but after checking the detailed historical facts and process comparison, we finally confirmed that this was the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens made by the imperial craftsmen in the palace in the late Qing Dynasty! ”

In the palace at the end of the Qing Dynasty?!

At this moment, the scene was no less than a small earthquake, and those who knew how to do it immediately began to stir! They knew very well that this was almost certainly a peerless treasure tailor-made for the Empress Dowager Cixi!

The Nine Heavens of the Phoenix Dance does have a great history. In the eighth lunar month of 1908, in order to celebrate her 74th birthday, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had a lifelong love for rare stones, ordered an imperial craftsman to create a batch of tourmalines mined from the Ibaraya tourmaline mine in California, and personally drew the sketches of the required finished products and handed them to the imperial craftsman, so that he must complete the project before the tenth day of the tenth lunar month. After receiving the order, the imperial craftsman naturally followed it carefully, but the twenty-eight pieces of tourmaline that Cixi had delivered had lost four pieces for no reason after he had processed them, which made him very uneasy. As October approached, Cixi's condition worsened and the original birthday celebration was canceled, and the imperial craftsman, who was originally a little afraid that the old queen mother would blame, did not dare to go to the show at this time.

But on the 22nd day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, on the second day of Guangxu's death, the Empress Dowager Cixi also died. Since then, the world has been in turmoil, and the stubble of the nine days of the phoenix dance has also been forgotten by the people around Cixi, and with the fall of the dynasty, this treasure has been taken out of the palace by the imperial craftsman. It's just that somehow I went overseas, and now I'm seeing it again!

What's even more rare is that this may be the only funerary item that is not in the tomb of Cixi in Tanglin! In 1928, 20 years after Cixi's death, the great warlord Sun Dianying led his subordinates to excavate and ransack Cixi's tomb in the name of exercises. Countless treasures have been looted. Time has passed, but there are few things that appear in the eyes of the world now.

At this moment, the phoenix dance in front of me for nine days, not only bears the imprint of historical celebrities, but also shows that the tourmaline is a rare treasure of great value, how can it not be exciting!

Interested people and insiders think that a lot like this will have at least a reserve price of more than 20 million!

"Let's be honest. At this moment, I am also very excited, I have been an auctioneer for decades, so I am excited by the auction is really rare, this for the Empress Dowager Cixi customized Phoenix Dance Nine Days, has been circulated for a hundred years, is made of pure gold and 24 rare tourmaline, pure gold 300 grams, each tourmaline in about 15 grams. Total weight: 660 g...... I see that everyone's mood is very high right now, so I won't talk about anything else. Thanks to the old gentleman who did not give his name. According to his intentions, in order to raise funds for charity as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if the price is low, so we only set a reserve price of 15 million! Start bidding now. ”

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, there was a commotion below!

If you don't consider the background factors, just the raw materials and its craftsmanship level of this Fengwu Nine Days. It can easily sell for more than 20 million in the market! Whether it's for collection or investment, it's enough to make people excited! What's more, this Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens has such a historical origin!

"16 million!"

"17 million!"

"17.5 million!"

"I'll give 18 million ......"

"19 million ......"

The voices of the people at the scene were higher and higher, and under the infection of this atmosphere, even the wealthy who were not very knowledgeable. After listening to the discussion of others, it was also a vassal elegance to join the ranks of the bidding, and the scene was so lively!

Cheng Feng looked at Zhang Huimin who was sitting next to her, at this moment her two little pink fists were involuntarily clenched tightly, and her chest was also violently lying together, staring at the phoenix dance on the stage for nine days, almost out of concentration.

At this time, Xiang Leiyun looked back at Zhang Huimin again, and when he saw that she still looked like this, he was even more convinced in his heart - Miss Zhang likes this thing!

Seeing that Cheng Feng glanced at himself seemingly unintentionally, he stared at Lei Yun for a second, then turned around, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth......

"24 million!"

Cheng Feng raised his arm to Lei Yun, and the voice came out of his mouth.

At the scene, some people suddenly pulled the bidding price up by as much as 5 million, and they were all stunned for a short time, and they all looked at the bidders - some people recognized that it was Xiang Leiyun of Xiang Tian Film and Television Group, and immediately died down after bidding.

Xiang Qiang is not easy to mess with, both black and white are in awe of him, since his son Xiang Leiyun wants this lot, many people immediately calmed down and stopped bidding. But there are still a very few people who really love or feel valuable to this thing, and they don't care too much - after hesitating, they feel that the current price of this Phoenix Dance Nine Days has not reached the bottom line of their psychological expectations, and they continue to raise their hands.

"25 million ......"

"I'll give 25.5 million!"

……

"If you wear this ornament, it will definitely look good."

Cheng Feng whispered a smile at Zhang Huimin.

Zhang Huimin came back to her senses, bowed her head and said, "Just take a look...... It's also too expensive! ”

Cheng Feng pointed to the back of Lei Yun and whispered to Zhang Huimin: "He wants to take a picture and send it to you, believe it or not?" ”

Zhang Huimin was stunned for a moment, and her whole face turned red in an instant, as if she was in a hurry to clear up her relationship with Xiang Leiyun in front of Cheng Feng, she shook her head resolutely and whispered: "Even if he does this, I won't want it." ”

Cheng Feng's heart moved, leaned over next to her ear, and said with a smile: "What if it's me?" ”

Cheng Feng's breath came from the ear piercing, Zhang Huimin's heart beat even harder, and after realizing it, she felt a little dizzy. However, she also faintly peeked into the other meanings of Cheng Feng's words, did she want to compete with Xiang Leiyun?!

"Don't be stupid...... This is not how money is spent," Zhang Huimin bit her lip, and then leaned over to Cheng Feng's ear, blushing and plucking up her courage to say, "As long as you send it, even if it is a handful of weeds, I will gladly accept it......"

After saying that, she hurriedly sat down and went back again. The meaning of the words is already very obvious.

Cheng Feng is a deliberate or unintentional ridicule, I didn't expect Zhang Huimin to be so straightforward and clearly reply to himself with such an answer!

This made him a little surprised, but more could only be moved! I used to think that she was a big star, her life circle and lifestyle were very different from herself, and she would be people from two worlds after all, and she would eventually drift apart, although she used to write songs for herself, although the two of them were almost in love before-I didn't think that she was still as obsessed with her feelings for herself as always......

"26.5 million!"

“…… 27 million! ”

"32 million!"

Xiang Leiyun once again jumped straight to the bid of 5 million, interrupting Cheng Feng's short thoughts and pulling him back.

The few wealthy businessmen who continued to bid with Lei Yun just now also sighed lightly after hearing Xiang Lei Yun's high-profile bid again at this moment, and no longer had hope of auctioning this lot.

The price of 32 million has exceeded their psychological upper price, and as a businessman, wouldn't it be a fool to do a deal knowing that he was going to lose money? Even if it's a hobby, there has to be a limit, otherwise wouldn't you become a madman?

The auctioneer's face was red, and his excitement was palpable. In a short period of time, it is nothing that the price has more than doubled, but you must know that the base of this floor price itself is large, and it is unexpected for him to double it so easily!

The personable son in the audience was even more impressed by him, with such a generous shot, it seems that there are more huge riches on Hong Kong Island than imagined! He thought that when he returned, he would have to report to the upper echelons of Christie's auction house, and next time there would be more private auctions!

"32 million one-time ......"

There was no other sound in the audience, and the auctioneer raised the hammer in his hand and looked around habitually—he was already satisfied, and he didn't expect any more.

"I'll give 100 million."

The flat voice sounded, but it was like thunder in an instant, overturning the entire auction scene!

The frightened crowd opened their mouths wide, and they all followed the sound to look, and saw that it was sitting next to Xu Ke and Zhang Huimin, and an unknown young man was slowly putting his hand down...... (To be continued......)
