The people who participated in the auction are here today from yesterday. Bruce returned yesterday and held a small meeting with several shareholders to increase the amount of the collectible to $50 million. Bruce couldn't miss out on the good stuff, and he could sense that Alan had a better collection.

So the big buyers who participated in the auction today are, Joyce, Mr. Song, Bruce, Kevin, Carter, and Ichiro Sato. However, in today's treasure valuation, Joyce and Mr. Song are not competitive at all.

So a few of the main competitors today are: Bruce, Kevin, Carter, Ichiro Sato. These four people.

Allen's first auction was the Northern Song Dynasty agarwood dining table. 'This agarwood dining table of the Northern Song Dynasty, round, four-legged, beautiful and elegant, with a thousand years of fragrance, can not only be collected, but also used. The starting price for the collection is $500,000. ’

Alan's voice just fell.

Bruce, Kevin, Carter, Ichiro Sato, their eyes are all straight.

'800,000. 'Bruce has a sign, he's got a vision, and that's a good thing. There is huge room for price increase in the future, and I want to take it.

'1 million. Kevin held up his card and shouted faintly. I have a lot of money on my hands and this is a great opportunity to invest.

Carter held up a sign while making a phone call, '1.1 million. ’

He's talking to Bob on the phone. 'Boss, the first piece in the collection here is an agarwood dining table from the Northern Song Dynasty. It's very precious. That's a good thing. And this table can still be used. I'm going to control how much money I can take. ’

Bob said, 'Agarwood dining table, can it still be used?' Such a good thing. No matter how much it costs, buy it for me. I have planes and yachts, mansions, and several small islands. There is no agarwood dining table, and I heard that it smells calm and is good for health. And this antique can be used at home, so if I invite Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to my house for dinner, they see my table, and I don't know how envious I should be. You've got to take it for me. ’

Carter heard the boss's instructions, and a worried heart fell to the ground. It is not easy for him to be an assistant, not only to do things well, but also to follow the boss's wishes.

'1.5 million. Ichiro Sato raised his card. He looked at the table calmly, it was valuable, but the wood didn't use much. The price cannot exceed $3 million. Ichiro Sato is more objective, he does not follow the crowd, and will estimate the value of the collection accurately.

'1.8 million. Carter had the boss's instructions and began to hold up his cards with confidence. It's no longer like the first time I was cautious and only dared to add $100,000.

'2 million. Kevin raised his card again.

These guys are in a constant race. The other small buyers on the spot, every time they heard them raise their signs, they could only cheer from somewhere, these people were all wealthy.

Mr. Song and Joyce can only be cheerers.

Li Yibai is just watching the auction process seriously at the moment. He won't cheer, no matter how high these people shoot, the final money is not all his. Li Yibai saw that around the venue, there were two cameras. This is used to document the entire auction process. If in the end someone dares to go back on it. Alan will use the footage as evidence to sue the breaker.

'2.5 million. 'Bruce doesn't give up, there's too much room for this thing to appreciate.

'2.8 million. At one point, Carter raised his cards and pushed the price to a new high.

At this time, the voices in the venue began to boil, 2.8 million, this Carter is really determined to win.

'2.81 million. Ichiro Sato holds up his card. This Ichiro Sato is a cunning old fox, he just wants to see if anyone dares to exceed $3 million. If you dare to surpass him, you will give up.

For Ichiro Sato's 2.81 million, many people booed, because they were competing for more than 200,000 prices in front of them, and this 2.81 million was only more than 10,000. Many people think that this little Japan doesn't know what tricks they are playing.

'3 million. Kevin held up the sign again, this thing, in his private museum in the future, can improve the publicity of his company.

'4 million. Carter went crazy, and this time he raised his cards, and he suddenly surpassed his opponent by 1 million. There was also a boiling sound from the crowd, this Carter is really rich, rich to the point of madness.

Carter thought, anyway, the boss told him to take it anyway, no matter how much money was spent, it was not his, as long as he could do it for the boss.

After Carter's gesture, the other three were silent, and Ichiro Sato would not raise his cards again. That's more than $3 million. Kevin and Bruce are also investors who are restricting and can't spend money lawlessly. Every one of their investments is explained to shareholders and investors.

'4 million for the first time. 4 million for the second time. 4,000,000 for the third time. Alan struck the hammer. 'Deal. ’

Carter photographed the agarwood dining table and excitedly called the owner, Bob. 'Boss, I've taken this table down. ’

'Well done, if there are any good things below, if they are high-end, give them to me.' Bob ordered.

Carter said, 'The following is a painting of the Northern Song Dynasty painter Li Tang's "Hidden Fish Picture", a famous painting by an ancient Chinese artist, does the boss want to take it?' ’

Bob is very passionate about Chinese painting, he loves Chinese culture, he can speak a few simple Chinese words, sometimes show off his Chinese language like a friend, and he has Chinese tattoos on his body.

'Every time the price exceeds 10% of the opponent's, give it to me.' ’

Allen shouted loudly again, "This collection is the Northern Song Dynasty painter Li Tang's "Fish Hidden Picture", Li Tang and Yang Shixian are equally famous, both are painters in the Northern Song Dynasty, during the Song Dynasty Huizong, and both were officials of the Song Huizong Royal Painting Academy. They also painted for Song Huizong. Therefore, the price of Li Tang's "Fish Hidden Map" will start at the same price as Yang Shixian's. The painting starts at $1 million. ’

$1 million, the crowd at the venue was a sensation, and for the first time I saw something starting at $1 million at a small auction. This kind of stuff can only be seen at the auction of Dopoly or Sotheby's. I saw it today, and it was a feast for the eyes.

'1.5 million' is Bruce taking the lead again, holding up the card. There is huge room for price increases, although there are many painters in the Northern Song Dynasty, there are too few paintings that have been handed down.

'2 million. Sato Ichiro didn't think about it, the works of Li Tang in the Northern Song Dynasty are very few, and one can get 10 pieces of other people's works that are precious, and Sato Ichiro is also clear about the number of famous works.

'2.2 million. Carter shouted. He listened to the boss's arrangement and could not exceed 10% of the opponent. He's going to see how high his opponent can bid.

'3 million. Kevin didn't hesitate to raise his card. It turned out that at this time, his investors outside the market also began to ask experts to evaluate the price of the painting. Experts say the painting has a minimum value of $6 million.

'4 million. Sato Ichiro is bound to win, and he even raises his card without blinking an eye.

'5 million. Bruce was even more arrogant, and followed with a $1 million increase each time.

The people at the venue were even more sensational. The news that Allen Auction House owned Li Tang's paintings also spread. Although this incident is not as sensational as the pen holder, it is also news. Soon, the bigwigs in the collecting world were impressed by Allen's field auction house, and some large museums wanted to include the painting in their museums. More big collectors are also starting to pay attention to the field auction house.

A famous painting of the Northern Song Dynasty is bound to be precious and rare. It has caused a sensation in the collecting world, and it will also ignite the hobby of some ordinary people for collecting Chinese antiques.

'6 million. Kevin said.

Carter was in a hurry, the number was too big. He called Bob. 'Boss, the opponent has increased to $6 million. Do I still have to add 10%? ’

Bob didn't expect his opponent to dare to raise it so high, and he began to hesitate.

'7 million. Ichiro Sato calmly raised his sign.

Yes. 7 million. This made many people in the venue dare not imagine. There were a lot of knowledgeable people in the venue, and many people thought that the painting would be worth up to $6 million in order to have room for future price increases. This Ichiro Sato won't be crazy.

Kevin was also surprised by this, and he asked his OTC investors again, whether the expert could still be added?

Off-site experts said that it is impossible to add. The 7 million figure will not rise until five years later.

After all, Kevin is only an IT engineer-turned-CEO who knows nothing about antique appreciation, and can only listen to the advice of experts. So he gave up.

Bruce was also sweating on his forehead, and he also began to ask about the shareholders. 'It's 7 million, can I still shoot it?' ’

Shareholders are beginning to think about the return on investment, worrying about whether the yield will be too low and the price will rise too slowly in the future. The shareholders finally decided to give up.

So Bruce gave up.

Even Li Yibai was very surprised, he didn't have a good impression of this Japanese, not because of strong patriotism, but because he felt that this Japanese was very insidious, and when he shot the agarwood table, he only increased the price by 10,000 US dollars once. So this time he is willing to spend $7 million to auction it, and he must be very sure.

'7 million for the first time. 7 million for the second time. 7,000,000 for the third time. Alan struck the hammer. 'Deal. ’

Ichiro Sato smiled at the corner of his mouth. These illiterate guys dare to come to the auction. ’

The auction is over. The person who took the picture wrote down the check and handed it to Allen. Alan asked Anna to go to the bank to exchange it. asked Li Yibai again,

'Mr. Lee, do you want a cheque or a bank transfer?' ’

'Bank transfer put. Li Yibai said lightly. The main thing is that he doesn't want to go to the bank to exchange checks. It was too troublesome, and he was about to go buy silver bars to take back to the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as buy some other things, and the time was very short.
