She is still dressed in the same way as during the day, crazy, wild, and very underbeaten.

She glanced at the Chinese auctioneer on the auction table with disdain, and then walked to Cao Yi's side and sat down.

"You?"

Cao Yi was puzzled by the sudden arrival of this Japanese girl who killed Matt.

"Venerable Master heard that Dao Chang came to participate in the auction, and he was worried that Dao Chang would not have enough money."

Yoko took out a bank card with puzzlement in her eyes.

In her impression, Cao Yi is a Taoist priest who is slightly stronger than her in terms of skills, and she doesn't know why a god-like teacher flatters this person in every way.

"I don't need to, but thank you Ying Jushi"

Cao Yi didn't ask for it.

The starting price of the Purple Dragon King he wants to auction is $1.6 million, and the $5 million he gave before Rainbow is enough to deal with it.

Yoko took the bank card back very simply.

"Where's Mark?"

Cao Yi asked.

Mark went to pay the auction deposit, and it was time to come back.

"I let him go back"

Yoko replied.

"I guess you can't wait, the auction has officially begun."

The Chinese auctioneer on the auction table returned to his previous calm appearance. As a professional auctioneer, the little turmoil just now is nothing to him at all.

A staff member with white gloves carefully brought the first auction item of the day to the auction table.

A lid and spout are tiger-shaped bronze vessels, quietly arranged in a glassware.

"Today's first lot is a bronze from the Western Zhou Dynasty, called Huying, which has a history of 3,000 years, and there are only seven such "ring" objects in the world, five of which are in the museum.

Also auctioned at the same time as the lot is a letter from its previous owner, British Navy Commander Harry Lewis Evans, to his family, about how Colonel Evans 'acquired' several bronzes and enamel vases in the Old Summer Palace.

Mr. Alastair Gibson, a Chinese art consultant at our auction house, said that the reason why this "tiger ring" is precious is that none of the other "ring" artifacts that have appeared are based on the theme of the tiger of the "king of beasts".

Mr. Xue Haopei, a Cambridge University scholar and historian of Chinese art and culture, said that this bronze with a tiger could only be used by high-ranking people such as emperors, nobles and officials, which represented their social influence and status.

The starting price for this lot is $50,000, with an increase of $10,000 each time. Perhaps with just one bid, you'll be able to pocket this 3,000-year-old treasure housed in a 19th-century Chinese imperial palace. ”

The words of the Chinese auctioneer caused a commotion in the venue.

Cao Yi heard several wealthy people from Hong Kong and Taiwan talking angrily.

Not to mention the second robbery of selling the stolen things to the Chinese, and even auctioning the robbery process together, there is no one in sight.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, one minute, and the whole auction room was silent.

The first lot, it's cold.

The trained Chinese auctioneer's face did not change at all, except that the thumb of his right hand was slightly bent.

"I'll give you $50,000"

In the first row, a middle-aged man with an Asian face and a Japanese voice held up a number plate in his hand.

Undoubtedly, this is the trust that the auction house has recruited for the Chinese.

"A friend from Japan on the 4th bid $50,000, I have traveled to Japan, and I can tell you responsibly that the Japanese are the people who love Chinese culture the most, and many of their buildings, customs, writings, and costumes have strong Chinese cultural symbols.

If no one bids, the few bronzes in the world will belong to this Japanese friend who loves Chinese culture. The first time, the second time...... The third time, the deal"

The Chinese auctioneer made three decisions, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

These Chinese were not fooled by his provocation.

Cao Yi felt that this Chinese auctioneer had succeeded, and the faces of many Hong Kong Island and Chinese billionaires had changed.

The second lot is bound to be a battle.

"Now for the second lot, the horse head of one of the bronze statues of the 12 zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace.

The bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace, and was a red bronze statue in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In 1860, the British and French troops entered China and took them from the Old Summer Palace.

This bronze statue of a horse's head was one of three bronze statues that an American antiques dealer stumbled upon in a private home in California in 1985.

The starting price of this lot is $150,000, and each increase is still $10,000, I wonder which Chinese tycoon would like to take home Chinese cultural relics? ”

After the Chinese auctioneer finished speaking, he looked at the place where the wealthy from Hong Kong and Taiwan gathered with a smile.

"$160,000"

In the third row, an old man who spoke Chinese raised the number plate in his hand.

"$170,000"

"$180,000"

"$190,000"

"I'll pay $200,000"

"$210,000

With the first offer, the rich from Hong Kong and Taiwan seemed to be ignited, and they rushed to quote a higher price.

The smile on the face of the Chinese auctioneer became more and more widespread, and the nail he had just planted in the auction of the first lot had worked, and the rich man from Hong Kong and Taiwan pounced on it like a moth to a fire.

"I'll pay $220,000"

"$250,000"

The first bid, the old man who spoke Chinese directly added 30,000.

Everyone is silent, everyone is not stupid, and if the competition continues like this, it is foreigners who are cheaper.

"There are higher bids, once, twice, three times, deals"

The Chinese auctioneer was overjoyed when the hammer fell.

Four years ago, the antique dealer bought three bronze heads for a total of $4,500, which means that the horse's head, which was only $1,500 four years ago, has increased by more than 160 times in his hand.

"Now for the third lot......"

Later, Cao Yi was in no mood to listen, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. I don't know if I was too tired, but I fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Yi felt someone shaking his shoulder, opened his eyes, and saw a staff member with white gloves holding a large purple jade stone covered by a glass cover to the auction table.

Although separated by a distance of seven or eight meters, Cao Yi could still feel a familiar power, coming from inside the purple jade.

Nimbus.

It's just earth and yin attributes.

"This is a piece of jade from Myanmar, there are a lot of jewelry and jade merchants present, how good it is, I don't need to say, the starting price is 1.6 million US dollars, and the price will increase by 50,000 US dollars each time."

This time there is no room for operation, and the Chinese auctioneer is very direct.

"$1,600,000"

Soon, a jeweller from Hong Kong Island made an offer.

"$1,650,000"

"$1,700,000"

……

Immediately, several jewelry and jade merchants joined, and the price of the Purple Dragon King rose all the way to two million US dollars.

"Is there a higher bid? First ......"

The Chinese auctioneer asked.
