One auction item after another caused a hot bidding on the spot, and it can be seen that Son Masayoshi was very careful to hold this cocktail party, and he put a lot of thought into one auction alone.

Every auction item that was put out was very attentive and popular, and of course there were all kinds of things for sale, and the first blue diamond necklace was the most common lot.

For example, the ownership of a Pacific island has attracted many wealthy people, because now it is different from the past, and the emergence of anti-gravity flying cars has made the earth a real global village.

Prices on islands have skyrocketed in the international market, and the wealthy are keen to buy the islands, and the ease of transportation allows them to return to the island every day to live a vacation-like paradise life.

Although the area is not large, only a few thousand square meters, the environment and geographical conditions are very good, and many people participated in the bidding, and finally sold for as much as 2.5 billion US dollars.

Liu Qingquan shook his head, these rich people are really crazy enough, spending 2.5 billion US dollars just to buy a small island, but it is also relieved to think about it.

Now it is very convenient to go anywhere with flying cars, coupled with the development of technology in all aspects, it is completely possible to install a small solar power station on the island, a small desalination plant, and then build a villa, and the family lives at ease.

These islands that are put up for auction are not under the jurisdiction of any country, they belong to the kind of islands whose ownership is owned by private individuals, and there is no need to worry about other restrictions at all.

This kind of island is extremely rare in the whole world, or belongs to some private islands produced by some special laws in the Age of Discovery, to modern times, national independence, 99.99% of the world's islands have been taken over by various countries, and the rest is extremely rare.

Rare things are naturally precious, and this island has also set a record for the highest island transaction in history, with 2.5 billion US dollars, enough to buy several times the size of land in New York.

"I believe that the Chinese friends present will be more interested in the treasure that will be auctioned below," Fujikawa Jiro lifted the red cloth, which was half a person high, revealing a strange bronze statue.

It is strange because the lower part of this bronze statue is an ancient scholar sitting cross-legged with his hands, but the head on it is a lifelike snake head carved even with scales.

The mouth of this snake head is still open, revealing sharp teeth up and down and slender forked snake letters, which makes people shudder.

"From the Chinese zodiac in the Qing Dynasty, the imperial garden of the Old Summer Palace, the most intact at present, and the only bronze statue that is now known to have not been damaged - the snake, except for a little damage caused by the strong demolition of the bottom base, there is no trace of damage anywhere else, and we guarantee that it is absolutely genuine, with a starting price of 50 million US dollars!"

Just when the snake was lifted, the faces of the Chinese present were not very good-looking, Qian Duoduo, Rong Zhengde, Ma Yun and others were all gathered together, and Liu Qingquan was also called over.

This is not an ordinary auction item, because the Old Summer Palace incident is a humiliation in China's modern history, and in any international occasion, no Chinese can sit idly by.

These things are the precious treasures left by the predecessors to the future generations, because they were robbed by the incompetent, and now the future generations must do their best to get them back no matter what.

Because that is the culture of the Chinese nation, the lost history of our nation, and the dignity that we have lost!

"We're going to shoot this snake anyway!" This is the common determination of the Chinese bigwigs present at this moment!

However, before everyone could speak, an old man with a high nose and blue eyes spoke: "100 million dollars!" ”

"He's making trouble, how can he double the price all of a sudden!" Qian Duoduo stared at the old man with dead eyes, and said to Liu Qingquan through gritted teeth.

"110 million" Wang Wei was the first to speak, even if his strength was relatively poor.

"200 million" The old man didn't seem to see the anger of the Chinese present at all, and opened his mouth again and directly said 200 million, which made people wonder what he wanted to do.

"Old man Grant, what attracts you to this bronze statue that makes you, who have always been stingy, desperate to get it," asked a middle-aged European and American next to the old man.

"This bronze statue used to be snatched back by my ancestors from the Old Summer Palace in China, and then my ancestors immigrated to the United States, and in the 70s of the last century, the economic crisis forced the family to sell it, but the ancestors left a legacy to find this treasure."

"For nearly half a century, every appearance of it has touched the nerves of my family, and my Coulson family has put a lot of effort into recovering the treasures of their ancestors, and this time I also heard that it would appear again so I begged someone to bring it over."

Grant Coulson spoke as if this treasure had really been passed down from the family down to the rest of the family!

The man next to him smiled and said, "This thing is Chinese, don't you see their angry eyes?" ”

Grant's tall nose moved slightly, and he said disdainfully: "Their eyes are exactly the same as those of my ancestors when they blasted through the city of Beijing, wantonly vented their anger on Chinese women, and took their most precious things at will, cowardly and powerless!" Haha"

Not only did he not whisper, but the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became louder and louder, and his words caused laughter from many people present, which was a pride in the glory of his ancestors and a mockery of all Chinese.

Old man Grant's words and the laughter of those present were undoubtedly an insult to all the Chinese present, a naked slap in the face!

"300 million!" Liu Qingquan clasped his hands tightly and spoke slowly.

This price is far more than it is worth, considering that the Rat, also one of the 12 zodiac signs, appeared at Christie's in the Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berger auction in Paris, France, from February 23 to 25, 2009, and sold for 14 million euros at the auction on February 25, 2009.

Although the snake is now intact, the value of $300 million has far exceeded its own value, and if the zodiac sign excludes its cultural value and historical value, it can only be worth millions of dollars at most as a cultural relic.

Now the price has soared to $300 million!

Grant opened his eyes and looked at Liu Qingquan, who saw the price, and said, "400 million US dollars!" ”

"You~~" Qian Duoduo pointed at his nose and couldn't speak, and the others stared at him deadly.

"500 million!" Liu Qingquan glared at Old Man Grant coldly, and this stare used Yuan Li.

Old man Grant instantly felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, and goosebumps all over his body appeared, as if his prey had been targeted by a hunter.

But at this time, Grant still didn't give up, didn't know how to advance or retreat, and raised the price again: "600 million!" ”

Qian Duoduo looked at the old man Grant, pulled Liu Qingquan down and said, "Forget it, don't earn it with him, it's not worth it!" ”

Liu Qingquan sneered and said, "They will return a hundred times in the future."

"1 billion!" Liu Qingquan's words instantly made everyone present in an uproar, everyone didn't expect him to bid directly to 1 billion, this price is already completely sky-high!

Old man Grant trembled slightly, because he knew that this time, this treasure would no longer have anything to do with their family, and when it came to the Chinese, it would definitely return to the official hands, if it was in private hands, there was still hope to buy it back, but in the hands of the Chinese government, there was absolutely no hope.

He was extremely angry, his family had owned this treasure for more than a century, and he had worked hard to regain possession of it for half a century, but now he was disturbed by Liu Qingquan, and he wanted to kill the other party with angry eyes, but he was afraid to see Liu Qingquan's terrifying eyes.

He shook his head helplessly, and then slowly staggered away from the venue, there was nothing for him here, and no treasure would have anything to do with his family in the future.

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu Qingquan from China for obtaining the precious bronze statue of the 12 zodiac snakes" With the auctioneer Fujikawa Jiro hammering down the wooden mallet, this precious national treasure that has been lost overseas for more than 100 years has finally returned to the hands of the Chinese people!

Liu Qingquan has already thought about its arrangement, it does not belong to any individual or group, it belongs to the entire Chinese nation, it represents not only the crystallization of art, but also the history of humiliation of the Chinese nation for a hundred years!

It should return to the place where it originally belonged, and its return will also mark the Chinese sons and daughters picking up the lost national dignity and Chinese soul bones!

The sale of the bronze statue of the snake once again set off the atmosphere of the scene, and the auction items that appeared one after another were unusually welcomed, and the bidders were also unusually generous, and many treasures were auctioned at a new price in history.

However, for Liu Qingquan or the Chinese present, other treasures are not as precious as snakes, and the interest in participating is not so great, and many times they participate occasionally, and they no longer open their mouths when they feel that the price is not suitable.

In terms of collecting treasures and treasures and antiques, Chinese people are still not as enthusiastic as people in Europe, the United States and Japan. Second, the domestic market in this area is often too non-standardized, easy to buy fakes, everyone is not interested in this area, more like to invest in real estate and the like.

The auction ended with a warm applause, although the number of things ranked in this auction is not much, but the quality is very high, a simple calculation of the turnover of more than 10 billion US dollars, I have to sigh that we don't understand the world of rich people!
