"The fiercest wild dog gets the fattest bones!"

Although the voice was not loud, Henry still heard the words of Mr. Chen in front of him, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly. It is fitting to describe the rich Jews in Shanghai in this sentence, and they are all the fiercest wild dogs.

Looking at his background, Henry suddenly lost interest in holding up the card, he shook his head at the assistant beside him, and then looked at Chen Moran who was bowing his head in front of him with great interest, wanting to see how this man who had a little leg and foot, but was holding Ji Li, snatched the fattest bone from the mouth of that group of Jews.

Although Henry is British, he does not have any good feelings towards Jews, the reason is very simple, thirty years ago, the reason why he came to Shanghai was to be attacked and bankrupt by the Jews, and his business in Shanghai was run on by the Jews, the two combined, to be able to smile at Sassoon and those people, in Henry's opinion is already his greatest tolerance.

However, Chen Moran didn't know that behind him, a sixtie-year-old Englishman was waiting for his move with great interest, but lowered his head and looked through the auction book sent by the waiter, which recorded the things to be auctioned today.

After turning a few pages, Chen Moran saw something.

"Yongle Grand Ceremony......

As soon as he saw these four words, Chen Moran couldn't help but be surprised, because he had watched the program of pursuing the "Yongle Canon" in the exploration program in later generations, and he remembered that this book has often suffered catastrophes since it was completed, most of them died in the war, and less than 800 volumes have survived.

The real catastrophe of this ancient Chinese encyclopedic classic was the two-year invasion of Yanjing by the Eight-Nation Alliance, which clashed with the Boxers besieging the British Embassy. The British Embassy was located next to the Hallym Courtyard and became a battlefield in the conflict. During the conflict, torches were thrown into the Hanlin Temple, and the Hanlin Temple suddenly burst into flames, causing an unprecedented catastrophe to the endless collection of books. The Jingyi Pavilion, where the Yongle Dictionary was stored, was also burned down. "The dragon pool and the well are all written and abandoned by people. There are gorgeous books with silk surfaces, all of which are hand-ordered; There are also words written by good scholars, all of which have been moved at will. "Most of the Yongle Canon was burned in this catastrophe, and some of the rest were repaired, and some were put in a manger.

"2382 copies!"

Although he didn't know much about the list of coupons introduced in it, as soon as he saw this number, Chen Moran couldn't help but gasp, this ...... There are only more than 800 volumes surviving in later generations, and now there are 2,382 volumes auctioned here at a time, could it be that Chen Moran vaguely guessed that maybe someone from the Eight-Nation Alliance stole them and shipped them to Shanghai for auction.

"Weiyang, you go and inquire, who sold this set of "Yongle Canon"!"

With a twist of his head, Chen Moran gave Xiao Xinren an order. However, Xiao Xinren's face showed a difficult color.

"However, this ...... The rules of Sotheby's are...... Keep the identity of the holder confidential. ”

Although he had not participated in any auctions in the past, Chen Moran also knew that this was the rule, but looking at the words "Yongle Canon" on this manual, Chen Moran's brows furrowed.

If he spent money to buy these "Yongle Canon" that were robbed by robbers, Chen Moran only felt that his heart was blocked, as if he had been robbed by someone and had to buy back his own things from the robbers, but if he didn't spend money, let these priceless treasures representing ancient Chinese civilization be lost overseas, how could he bear it.

If you don't want to spend money, if you don't spend money, you will let it go overseas and finally disappear into history.

The voice from the front made Henry smile.

"Owen!"

Henry whispered a word to Owen, and Owen left the auction room.

At this time, when the auction price of Fuli Garden reached one million yuan, the bidding voice gradually declined, and some of them even smiled proudly, obviously their purpose was nothing more than to raise the price and let others make a big mistake.

"A million dollars, for the first time!"

"Is there a higher bid?"

When the auctioneer asked about the bid with a hammer in his right hand, seeing that Chen Moran was a little distracted, Xiao Xinren turned his head and asked.

"Yes!"

Looking at the Yongle canon in the book, Chen Moran nodded, the house was far less attractive than these classics.

"Add 100,000!"

Xiao Xinren raised the card and spit out a sentence.

"One million and one million!"

After hearing someone shout out the highest price increase that appeared in today's auction, everyone was stunned, and hurriedly turned their heads to look in the direction where the voice came from.

"It's him!"

Including Sassoon, Matt and others saw the person holding the sign, they glanced at the person next to him, and immediately recognized this person, Chen Moran, just when the auction was going on, they had already got his name from the auction house manager, since the auction, he has not said a word, and now as soon as the price is raised, it is far more than the bidder.

Charlie's eyes, who turned his head to look at Chen Moran, almost lit up, originally one million was enough to take this magnificent garden for himself, but now, this damn Chinese pig, especially when he saw Ji Li, remembered Catherine's rejection of him, and he was even more angry.

"1,100,000 first-time ......"

"Boss!"

As the auctioneer began to count the bids, the voice of the associate sounded in his ears.

"Markup!"

The assistant next to Charlie raised the card, plus 10,000.

"One million and one hundred and one thousand!"

After hearing the offer, Chen Moran, who had been paying attention to the manual, nodded again, and Xiao Xinren raised his card again.

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

This time, Xiao Xinren did not increase the price by 100,000, but increased the price by 40,000.

"One million and two million!"

Charlie, who had an angry face, gritted his teeth and personally raised the card to increase the price.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew that with Charlie's surname, he would never admit defeat so easily, and everyone in Shanghai knew that Charlie was not only greedy and lustful, but also his surname.

After hearing that a new round of bidding had started below, Xiao Xinren couldn't help but feel a trace of frustration, according to the original agreement between the two, he originally planned to come to a high price and stun the people below first, but he didn't expect to run into Charlie, so he could only sigh that his luck was really bad.

"Now the bid is 1.2 million, is there anyone who is higher than this bid, the Rich Garden is ......"

Seeing that the price soared at the same time, it seemed that someone else was on top, and the British auctioneer in his fifties began to introduce the benefits of the Rich Garden, for him, the higher the auction price means the more return.

"Well, or let's give up!"

Looking at Charlie with an angry face, thinking of the rumors about Charlie, Xiao Xinren said lightly.

Chen Moran shook his head, money is not a problem, all the transactions used here are silver dollars, even if the current price is only a few hundred thousand dollars, it is not even as good as what he earns in an hour.

"Add 300,000!"

Xiao Xinren was stunned, and Henry in the back seat was even more shocked, looking at Chen Moran's eyes also changed, if the eyes that looked at him before were curious, then now it is the greed of the businessman when he sees Jinshan.

"Shoot!"

Under Chen Moran's urging, Xiao Xinren raised the sign in his hand a little helplessly.

"One and a half million!"
