Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The first item on display on the stage is a long-necked porcelain with a large number of flowers, more than half a human height, smooth as jade.
"This is an antique porcelain from the Song Dynasty, everyone knows that the Song Dynasty is a very prosperous period in the history of China's ceramic exhibition...... "The auctioneer introduced the auction item in detail.
The Song Dynasty was the era when the art of porcelain in China reached its maturity. Song porcelain in the history of Chinese ceramics, known for the high degree of monochrome glaze, its tone of elegance, incomparable, whether in the type, style or firing process, etc., are at the pinnacle. At that time, many world-famous kilns and famous porcelain appeared, which were praised by Western scholars as "the great period of Chinese painting and ceramics", so Song Dynasty ceramics were very attractive to everyone who loved collecting.
The starting price of this Song porcelain was 10,000 US dollars, but it was quickly chased to 1 million US dollars by competing with each other, and when the last two or three people fought, it was auctioned for a high price of more than 8 million US dollars, which was won by an old man in his sixties, but it was also a good start.
"Tsk, just such a useless 'broken porcelain' was sold for eight million dollars, and there are more rich people here~!" Qin Yue sighed with emotion, he thought that his current net worth of hundreds of millions of RmB could be regarded as a rich person, but when he put it here, he was afraid that he would go bankrupt if he couldn't buy a few things.
"Hehe, this is just the beginning, the boutique auction will be more exciting later, you wait!" Jiang Zhiyuan said.
"Oh? What's next? Qin Yue thought for a while: "You mean this auction is divided into two stages?" β
"That's right, the beginning is just a 'warm-up' in the first half, and the auctioned goods are not too precious!" Jiang Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "The boutique auction in the second half is the real highlight, and the good things are behind!" β
Millions of dollars are not too precious auction items, it seems that Jiang Zhiyuan said that the transaction volume of tens of billions of dollars in an auction is true, Qin Yue couldn't help but look forward to it, and nodded with a smile: "Hehe, then I'll wait and see!" β
"By the way, Qin Yue, wait a minute, if you like something that you can photograph, I'll pay the bill!" Jiang Zhiyuan looked at Qin Yue and said lightly.
"That's not necessary!" Qin Yue shook his head gently: "I came here to see, although the things here are very valuable, there should be nothing I am interested in!" β
Jiang Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand: "Haha, don't say it too early, the things here are not simple, maybe there will be something you like?" β
"Hehe, let's talk about it then!" Qin Yue smiled disappreciatively.
Later, the two chatted and followed the auction situation. In the next nearly two hours, Qin Yue was really eye-opening, and he couldn't help but sigh again and again in his heart, there were too many rich people here. Except for the first lot, which sold for $8 million, the other lots also sold for a lot of money, the most expensive of which was the right to use an island in Southeast Asia, which sold for $280 million, and the cheapest was a ring brought by a king in ancient Europe, which also sold for more than $1.5 million.
In the past two hours, Qin Yue and Jiang Zhiyuan have been watching from beginning to end, and they haven't taken a single thing, Jiang Zhiyuan's status is noble, and he can't look at the things he shoots, while Qin Yue has no concept of these things, and he is not interested in them at all.
It wasn't until two hours later that the old man at the auction chuckled and hammered down the auction table, first attracting everyone's attention, and then the old man smiled: "Everyone, the first half of this auction has come to an end, I believe everyone knows the rules of our auction house, I won't say more, please rest for a while in the VIP area, and the boutique auction will start in twenty minutes!" β
As soon as the old man's voice fell, the rich men in the hall on the first floor 66 continued to get up and leave.
"Isn't there a boutique auction? Why are all these people gone? Qin Yue asked suspiciously.
"Boutique auctions, the auction items in it are all very valuable, not everyone can participate, only the VIP of the auction house is eligible!" Jiang Zhiyuan opened his mouth to explain.
"That's right!" Qin Yue nodded suddenly: "Even if the average rich person participates, I'm afraid they may not be able to afford it!" β
Twenty minutes later, the boutique auction officially began, and the person presiding over the auction was still the old man before, but now only the old man and the two assistants behind him were left in the auction hall, and the VIPs participating in the auction were all staying in the room in the VIP area.
The old man gently picked up the microphone on the auction table, and said loudly with a red face: "Distinguished guests, let me reveal in advance that there will be a martial art in this boutique auction, and it is an acquired level exercise cheat!" β
"What? Acquired exercises? As soon as the old man's voice fell, there was an uproar in the VIP area.
The strength of the martial artist in a force represents the strength of the force from a certain Cheng dΓΉ, and the He family of Xiangjiang has made the He family one of the famous forces in Xiangjiang with a three-layer He Zhenshan alone, and the strength of the acquired martial artist can be seen. Even in a big force like the Ngee Ann Society, the number of acquired martial artists is not very large. There is no acquired martial artist's power, such as the Starlight Gang, which seems to be powerful, but in fact, as long as an acquired martial artist can destroy it lightly.
And the prerequisite for a martial artist to break through the acquired realm is to rest an acquired exercise, it can be said that any force that gets an acquired exercise means that half a foot has stepped into the palace of first-class forces, but the acquired exercises are so rare, and most of them are in the hands of the major top forces, and ordinary forces cannot get it at all. This time, the boutique auction of the Dragon and Phoenix Auction House actually appeared in a book of acquired exercises, which made the VIPs present feel a little excited, especially some forces that have not yet acquired martial artists, and they are even overjoyed, even Jiang Zhiyuan, who has been quiet, was slightly moved.
"Hehe, everyone, please be quiet!" The old man smiled slightly, and said in a loud voice: "I now announce that this boutique auction has officially begun!" β
"Let's start the auction of the first piece!"
An assistant behind the old man walked to the booth with a tray covered with a black cloth. The old man stepped forward and gently pulled the black cloth away, and a milky white stone-like object appeared in front of everyone's eyes, like white jade, and there was a faint mist on it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a thousand-year-old cold jade, I won't say much about the efficacy of this cold jade, this piece of cold jade is three inches long, two inches wide, one inch thick, such a treasure is rare, the reserve price is 10 million US dollars, each increase shall not be less than 1 million US dollars, now, please start quoting!"
ps: Ozawa has been very busy these days, and it's a wedding drink and a party or something, and there may be fewer updates these days, sorry, please forgive me! After a while, Ozawa will definitely find time to make up for it......
