Chapter 42: The Fierce Auction

Xu calmly should have seen something, so he stared at us, but he may not know that we came here to spend money to be an uncle, but he will not stir up trouble.

So even if he stares at us, he won't gain anything,

As for why Xu Danding would help the Ao brothers auction, this matter is complicated, and there are many things involved, but we can't guess.

Time passed bit by bit, and the number of people at the auction became more and more.

After yesterday's trouble, the people who joined in the fun have restrained their temperament and refused to come again, but those real buyers have been free and have gathered here.

Before I knew it, it was eleven o'clock, and I, the fat man, and Alyssa were sitting down, when I saw an old white man in a suit and a small bow tie walk up to him, and gently looked at the table with an auction hammer, and then began to talk about the beginning of the auction.

The old man was very eloquent, and he talked and laughed so well that I had to concentrate all my strength to be able to hear his words and the meaning of the long string of slang words.

He broke for a while, first apologized to everyone for yesterday's incident, and then said a lot,

Finally, he stretched out his hands and introduced the first lot of the day.

The first auction item is a gold mask from the ancient Inca Empire, which is said to have been dug out of a sinkhole in the Andes Mountains of South America, and at the same time it appeared, the famous Golden Scepter of the Inca priest, which is said to have been obtained by the cardinal archbishop of the diocese of the United States, and has been transported to the holy city of Vatican to be presented to the great Pope.

This is a heavyweight lot, and it is estimated that it is also for the deterrent effect, so it will be the first to take it out.

When the old man introduced this thing, the lights of the whole process dimmed, and then in the middle of the stage, the gold mask shrouded in explosion-proof glass slowly rose from the middle, and the light hit it, and then projected it onto the big screen around the back and auction hall.

When the close-up zoomed in, I heard countless people inhaling cold air.

The originally silent audience suddenly became lively, and the VIPs who came to participate in the auction discussed with the people next to them, obviously planning to pay a big price for this mysterious thing.

After the old man finished his introduction, he played an appraisal report from the world's most authoritative appraisal agency on the big screen.

At the same time, the starting price of the lot appeared,

27 million dollars,

Each bidding price is not less than 100,000 US dollars,

The lights were turned on, and the old man gracefully left some time for the buyers to appreciate and think, and then announced the start of the auction.

I wasn't interested in it, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but Alyssa whispered softly next to me, talking about the dark ones and wizards that are rampant in North America today, many of them are believers from the ancient Inca kingdom, and they believe that this golden mask can bring them the power of the gods, so it is estimated that the level of competition will be fierce.

Sure enough, as Alyssa said, the gold mask, which was sold at auction for $27 million, was raised to $40 million in almost an instant.

And after 40 million dollars, there are not many people who shout the price, and when it comes to 45 million, there are only three.

A middle-aged man with a pale face and a tuxedo who can't wait for others to know that he is a blood clan, a fat man who is as fat as a pig and can't sit on a seat, and a hot beauty who can't sit still,

The three of them repeatedly bid for the price, and later, the big beauty withdrew from the competition.

Then the blood-like guy also stopped bidding,

The first lot was sold for $54 million, which was exactly double the starting price.

No more, no less, as if it were deliberate,

The big fat man became the final winner, and after the hammer fell, he couldn't help but wave his hand at the hot big beauty who was competing with him before, and made a very obscene move,

The big beauty's face was as cold as ice, and she ignored him at all,

The subsequent lots became much more normal, with works from the three great masters of Renaissance literature and art, famous paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, paintings, paintings and antiques from ancient Chinese masters, objects used by famous people, and even top mansions on the West Coast of Los Angeles, and even fossilized dinosaur eggs from the Jurassic......

I ignore all these things, watching those people keep bidding, some more, some less, but all in all, it gives me the feeling that money is not money at all.

Such an amount, even if it is converted into happy beans, I feel a little unacceptable.

In short, this is a rich man's game, for me, it's just a lively burlesque, even if it's an auction of Dong Qichang, Tang Bohu's works, I don't have the slightest movement,

I don't pay attention to these things,

Time continued, and when a set of six thousand magnets was displayed, the scene suddenly became lively again.

The thousand magnetosphere is a kind of spiritual sustenance of the ancient missionaries, it is said that it is excavated from some magnetite with power, and finally ground into a sphere, for the missionaries to play with, in our words, this thing should be regarded as a magic weapon,

And this set caused a sensation because they were once blessed by Pope Benedict XV, and with the papal crown for more than five years,

This thing is a holy object in the minds of Christians.

Because of this, after the start of filming, countless people competed, almost entering the white-hot stage, and in the end, a huge high price of 167 million was auctioned, and the most surprising thing was that the person who photographed this set of thousand magnetic balls was actually the tuxedo man who competed for the golden mask before.

Looking at his pale face, thin lips and narrow eyes, people can't help but maliciously guess the identity of the other party, it is not a blood clan,

If that's the case, then it's kind of fun.

And when the No. 76 buyer took this thing, a staff member immediately came over, checked with him, and asked him to go to the side to verify the capital, obviously afraid that something would go wrong.

In fact, when we entered the market, we had already experienced it once, but this No. 76 His Excellency made frequent shots just now, which is really a bit weird.

And when the other party took a picture of the thousand magnets, I felt a lot of malicious eyes looking at him,

The Pope's blessing of the thousand magnetic balls, this is a small climax of the auction, although the subsequent lots are still very good, but it seems to consume the passion of many people, the competition began to be less fierce, there are not many bidders, so that the transaction price is generally low, and there are even unsold lots.

Probably feeling the retreat of enthusiasm, the auction temporarily adjusted the order of the lots, and the third piece after the adjustment was the heart of the brave that we had been waiting for.

I was originally out of the world, but I became nervous in an instant.

I sat down and heard the old man's introduction to this thing, including its origin and related experiences, and then began to talk about the uniqueness of the brave heart.

He said that this is a very mysterious jadeite, strictly speaking, it should be called amber, because in this piece of jade, contains a lion-like thing, although there is no way to prove, but there are still people willing to think that it is a life, in the world once existed, and then because of various changes, hidden in the ground, after tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years of crustal movement, finally became the current it......

At the end, the old man said impassionedly: "This is the famous heart of the brave,"

Starting bid: $51 million,

Each time the asking price is not less than 100,000 US dollars,

After saying this, he glanced at the auction hammer lightly and said, "Please bid......

In addition to the previous thousand magnetic balls, this is the one with the highest starting price.

But when the old man opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly became cold,

Everyone is very interested in the thousand magnetos from the Vatican, but there is not much interest in a piece of jade from the old pit in Myanmar.

They don't identify with the relevant culture.

So this "brave heart", at the beginning, was a little cold,

I saw that everyone's interest was not high, and my heart suddenly jumped wildly, because if no one raised the price with me, I should be able to pocket this thing for a small price.

Thinking of this, I was about to raise a sign, but at this time, someone held up a sign in front of me.

No. 105 plate, bid 54 million,

Directly raise the price by $4 million,

That's a real bargain, you know that many of today's lots don't necessarily cost $4 million.

I squinted my eyes and looked over, but I saw that the one who was fighting with me for the "heart of the brave" was actually the glamorous woman who snatched the golden mask before.

I didn't hesitate any longer, I just raised the racket and said, "Five five million,"

"Fifty-eight million,"

The other party shouted the price, and did not hesitate, and after I felt the other party's insistence, I was silent for a few seconds, and then the bid went directly to 65 million US dollars.

My bid made everyone cheer at once,

There are very few bids such fiercely at auctions, and generally those who offer this price are people who are determined to win.

The beauty felt my resoluteness and hesitated, and the host began to shout, once, twice......

Just as he was about to drop the hammer, suddenly someone raised his card again,

Eighty-eight million five thousand,

Hearing this amount, my eyes widened, and I looked towards the bidder.

It's actually the dead fat man before,
