Chapter 232: Auction

"I'm going to challenge Master Zhou."

"Master Zhou, my opponent is you."

"Please also ask Master Zhou to teach you a lesson or two."

Sure enough, as Liu Guanliang expected, the other nine swordsmiths' challenge targets were indeed Zhou Zhengwu, who was sitting on the first throne.

"Okay, I hope you will give me advice." Zhou Zhengwu laughed, not caring at all.

Even, what is surprising is that Zhou Zhengwu only let his apprentice put a long sword on the sword frame, called "Nine Turns Longquan Sword", it is said that he has practiced nine times repeatedly, and he has already reached the point where he has just arrived at everything, soft and resistant to thousands of folds, toughness like super nanofibers, blowing hair and breaking hair, sharpening iron like mud is just idle, and even the alloy steel that can only be cut by the chainsaw, and the reinforced wire rope can be cut and broken.

Zhou Zhengwu just wanted to rely on this nine-turn Longquan sword to win the throne of three consecutive championships.

But is it possible?

"Break it for me!"

The security guard waist knife in Aruru's hand slashed down, and his eyes were blazing, and the world's number one swordsmith was about to fall into his hands.

gang!

In the next second, looking at the waist knife with a flat incision in his hand, Aruru was stupid, this ......

The next one, the ninth-ranked woman with a hot figure and about thirty years old, wearing the Emei faction's Taoist uniform, walked to the sword stand, raised the Emei Yitian Sword in her hand, and swung it hard, slashing towards the Longquan Sword on the sword stand.

gang!

There was another crisp sound, the sword chips shattered, and the previously impressive Yitian Sword became two, and the beautiful swordsmith from Emei was also dumbfounded.

gang!

gang!

gang!

From the tenth to the second, without exception, the nine swords or swords, in the exclamation of tens of thousands of spectators in the audience, all fell on the Nine Turns Longquan Sword.

Zhou Zhengwu's throne as the first swordsmith is beyond doubt.

"Master Zhou is a good craft. I'm waiting for the oral administration. A swordsmith who was originally very unconvinced by Zhou Zhengwu bowed his hand to him.

"Take, take." Zhou Zhengwu humbly arched his hand, with a master's demeanor.

"Good Master Zhou!"

"No. 1 in the world, well-deserved!"

"From then on, the sword of Huaguo should be headed by the Longquan sword. Go to Asia, famous all over the world! ”

Liu Yijun looked at the man on the stage with jealousy, and said secretly in his heart: If only I could stand in that position, it would be greater.

At the award ceremony, what surprised Lu Wei was that in addition to the officials of the Sword Casting Association, there were several military representatives who presented certificates and bonuses to the ten new sword casters, and the highest rank was a military major general.

"This is a knife fight. Why did the military get involved? Lu Wei asked puzzledly, as if no matter what form of activity he engaged, he could see the shadow of the military.

"Brother Lu doesn't know yet, right? Swords are a gray area in China, and there are regulations, but the control is not particularly serious, but in recent years, it has developed very rapidly, and even some institutions have taken the initiative to provide some raw materials. The fundamental reason is that China's metal smelting industry is too backward. A large number of alloy metals with good characteristics are needed in all aspects, but Brother Lu, you also know that a fixed alloy formula needs to be tested tens of thousands of times before it can be come up. Let the swordsmith use the method of casting swords to explore the formula of industrial alloys. ”

Liu Guanliang explained.

Lu Wei's mouth opened wide, and he said in disbelief: "Let the swordsmith grope for the industrial alloy formula, who came up with the solution, this is too brain-opening, right?" ”

"Brother Lu. Don't say it, this method really works, my third uncle has already supplied two alloy formulas to the state and got a bonus of more than 2 million. ”

"Master Liu, is this really the case?"

Lu Wei looked at Liu Yijun curiously and asked.

Liu Yijun nodded slightly and said: "Most of the swordsmiths are patriotic people, and we can not only satisfy our hobbies, but also contribute to the national scientific research cause, so why not." ”

Lu Daweihan, I really can't imagine that these small workshop-style sword casting industries have also become small scientific research centers in the country, and the most primitive way of working contains great high technology, which is really unimaginable, there is a feeling that the meat butcher with a pig-killing knife is actually a domestic Ling Lingqi.

Immediately after the end of the knife competition, the second blockbuster program will be held: the sword auction conference.

"National Swordsmith Association" is actually a profit-making organization, it is unimaginable to hold such a huge sword fighting conference, but it is unprofitable, auctioning some swordsmiths to make swords, drawing a certain amount of intermediary fees, is one of the best ways to make profits.

The sword lovers who happened to be present are mostly entrepreneurs, children of families and people who practice martial arts, and they have the same hobby for sword collecting as antique collections.

An auction host with a fat body and a round head walked up to the stage, holding a wooden hammer in his hand, presiding over the entire auction.

"The first sword to be auctioned today is the Huoyun Sword cast by the swordsmith Huang Ming, this sword is 113 cm long and 5.2 cm wide, the whole body is fiery red, the shape is simple, the surface has wavy cloud patterns, the blade is sharp, and the iron is sharpened like mud...... The starting price is 500,000 yuan, and the gentleman is willing to pay a higher price. ”

As soon as the words fell, a sign below immediately held up and said, "Five hundred and fifty thousand!" ”

Only two seconds later, a louder voice overlayed: "Six hundred thousand! ”

"Six hundred and fifty thousand."

"700,000 ......"

After a while, the first auction item, the Huoyun Sword, was bought by a man who looked like he was thirty years old at a price of 1.1 million.

"1.1 million, just to buy a sword, these people are really rich enough."

"What is this, viagra, you may not know, at last year's auction, a Longquan sword made by Zhou Zhengwu personally sold for a sky-high price of 150 million, this year Master Zhou has won the championship of the knife fighting competition, and his value has skyrocketed, and it is possible for his sword to sell for 200 million this year."

"200 million, damn, do rich people play like this?"

"Of course, the rich people now, playing cars, yachts, private jets, gold and jade, and antique collections, are not smashed by hundreds of millions or billions, in front of these rich people, viagra you, and our Liu family, are just little grasshoppers......"

Liu Guanliang said that the auction has sold five or six master's fine swords, each of which was sold for more than 1 million, and one of the gorgeous master works was sold from one million to more than 10 million, which was jaw-dropping.

It was Liu Guanliang's third uncle Liu Yijun, who cast a "Rainbow Sword", which was also sold for a high price of more than 5 million.

Later, after a few high-quality swords close to the finale were put on the auction floor, Lu Wei was basically numb, because it was already common for people to shout 10 million or 20 million, shouting 30 million, 40 million, and 50 million abounded, and the penultimate magic dragon sword shouted 99.5 million before it was hammered out.

"Please invite today's finale auction item, the Longquan Tianyuan Sword made by Master Zhou Zhengwu, to the auction table!" (To be continued......)
