Chapter 305: The Snake's Head (Fourth Watch)

When the hostess said the word national treasure, everyone gasped.

No wonder this antique was not advertised in this auction before, it turned out to be a national treasure-level cultural relic.

If it was propaganda before, the state would come forward to ban it, and the public would definitely react.

At that time, I am afraid that this auction will not be opened.

At the same time, everyone is also curious about what the national treasure will be at today's auction.

Since the hostess has already said that it is a national treasure, everyone's interest has been raised.

She is not ready to continue to sell to everyone, otherwise I am afraid that things will be reversed, which will disgust everyone, and it will not be good for the next auction.

"This is the last auction item. ”

With a soft snort, the hostess removed the red cloth covering the auction item.

The red cloth was uncovered, and everyone saw the true face of this national treasure.

It's a copper snake head, and it looks like it's been a few years old.

The shape of the snake head is realistic, the color of the copper is deep, the inner body is fine, and the surface is not corroded, which looks exquisite.

Although the hostess has said before, the last auction item is a national treasure.

But when everyone saw this bronze snake head, everyone was still shocked.

In the room where Ji Yang was, several people were looking at the copper snake head through the single-sided glass of the room.

"Could this be the head of the snake in the bronze statue of the beast head of the zodiac?"

Quanchang's voice was excited, and he said in disbelief.

When the others heard the bronze statue of the head of the zodiac animal, their expressions changed.

Mu Hong screamed even more in surprise.

"The bronze statue of the head of the zodiac animal you are talking about, is it the bronze statue of the head of the zodiac animal head in the Old Summer Palace that was robbed and lost overseas after the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace?"

"I'm not sure right now, but I've seen some sources, and it's probably the head of the snake in the zodiac. ”

Quanchang nodded and said with a solemn expression.

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.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace, and the bronze statue of the beast head began to be lost overseas.

So far, seven of the twelve beast heads have returned to China.

Most of the others are missing, and this snake head is the one missing, but I didn't expect it to appear here.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as Quanchang, and the hostess quickly gave the answer.

"The final auction item is the snake head of the 12 bronze beast heads of the Chinese zodiac in the Old Summer Palace. ”

"The starting price is 10 million, and the minimum price for each bid is 1 million, and the auction starts without a cap. ”

In the previous auction, as soon as the hostess said that the auction would start, someone would start bidding immediately.

But this time the situation was completely different, when the hostess's voice began to fall.

The people around looked at each other with strange faces, but no one dared to bid.

If it is exchanged for another national treasure-level auction, there will definitely be people bidding at this time.

But the bronze snake head is not only precious in itself, it is also a historical proof that the significance is extraordinary.

The national cultural relics department has been looking for the head of the zodiac animal, and if I take it back today.

It is estimated that before I have time to get it, there will be trouble coming to the door.

"Bang, Malegobi, he actually auctioned the head of the snake, isn't this a slap in the face of Huaxia, don't die for money?"

Ji Yang angrily slapped the marble table top in front of him, and when he slapped it, the marble table top was cracked.

If the organizer of the auction stood in front of Ji Yang, Ji Yang would definitely slap him to death with one palm.

"Ji Shao, it's useless for you to be angry, most of the people who participated in the auction today are people from the black market, or people with black backgrounds. ”

"In their hearts, only interests come first, and now they don't bid directly, even if they still have some conscience. ”

Every line has rules for each line, even if Ji Yang is not happy to see it, he can only endure it at present.

Although Ji Yang has some skills, he has not yet reached the level where he can change the rules.

Ji Yang was unwilling in his heart, but Quanchang's words made some sense.

"I'm going to see who dares to bid today, and who ends up with the snake's head, and then he's unlucky. ”

Ji Yang looked at the auction with fierce eyes, and he was waiting for the people who participated in the auction to start bidding for the snake's head.

In the face of the snake head, it is not that no one is tempted, but there are many people who are tempted.

It's just that they have concerns in their hearts, so they don't speak.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the gun shoots the first bird.

These people are waiting for someone to speak first.

As soon as someone speaks, the bidding for the snake's head will be fierce.

While everyone was waiting, someone finally took the lead to speak.

The first bidder came from a room on the second floor.

"I'll give eleven million. ”

A slightly older voice rang out from the room.

The value of this bronze snake head is not comparable to the unicorn pendant auctioned by Ji Yang, at least in the eyes of ordinary people.

This bronze snake head has a high value in terms of historical value, cultural value, and collection.

Under the temptation of huge interests, no one cares whether the bidder is from the second floor or not, and what his identity is.

They only know that danger and benefit coexist, as long as they clap the snake's head in their hands.

Regardless of whether the state will trouble them or the masses of society will make trouble for themselves, they only know that they will make a lot of money.

"Twelve million. ”

"Fifteen million. ”

"Twenty million. ”

"30 Million ......"

The sound of bidding continued to sound, and the price of the auction also soared.

From the first million, one million plus, to the next five million, ten million plus.

"Malegobi's, Lao Tzu bid 100 million, I see who will increase the price. ”

In a room on the second floor, a rough roar was heard.

This is not the first time that the bronze animal head of the zodiac has appeared at auction.

According to the previous price comparison, the price of this 100 million is already the highest.

There are many rich people present, but if they take out 100 million yuan to buy a snake head, even if they buy it back, it won't be a big deal.

Maybe you will lose money directly.

It wasn't a good deal, so no one continued to bid.

However, just when everyone thought that no one would continue to bid.

In the room where the bid was first spoken, the old voice sounded again.

"One hundred and ten million. ”

Another 10 million have been added, what kind of sacredness is this?

110 million to buy this snake head is definitely a loss of money, this time even the person who shouted 100 million did not compete with the other party.

With the end of the auction for the head of the snake, so is today's auction.

"Ji Shao, where are you going, you don't have to pick up your Hetian mutton fat unicorn pendant yourself, someone will send it. ”

As soon as the auction ended, Wang Ji saw that Ji Yang's face was gloomy and he was about to leave the room.

"Qilin Pei, you can help me bring it back, I still have something to do. ”

After Ji Yang finished speaking, he walked out of the room directly.

What Ji Yang has to do is to capture the treasure.
