Twelve million!

Almost 77 million RMB!

Finally no one is bidding anymore...... Andrea let out a long sigh of relief and leaned back in her seat. She had never participated in such an auction where the outcome was not known until the end, and no auction could have gathered so many wealthy people from all over the world! The assets of the British royal family are not at the top here at all, and they are not even in the top ten.

"Five, four, three, two, one!"

The hammer falls, symbolizing the official declaration of the twelve scales belonging to the British royal family. A feeling of ecstasy rose from Andrea's heart. However, in the blink of an eye, she smiled bitterly and shook her head painfully and happily.

No matter how rich a person is, there is a bottom line for money. For example, the funds that the queen can take out are actually about 300 million US dollars. If you want more, you have to sell the real estate. Unless it's time for the bayonet to be red, no one wants to touch these things at the bottom of the box.

If it's any other auction, $300 million is enough to buy anything you want. But here...... She couldn't tell.

Now, though, no one thinks about Andrea's idea. After the first two rounds of bombardment, the atmosphere was completely eager. The auction continued without any unsold lots. At the time of the nineteenth lot, the bidding price had already exceeded 80 million!

It was a ding.

A tripod carved with a map of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States and Huaguo.

Mountains and rivers, flowers and trees are all fine. After more than 2,000 years of time, it presents a bright yellow color. The height of the tripod is one meter, square, half a meter wide, and the workmanship is fine, comparable to modern machining.

This was discovered after comprehensive exploration in the square outside the hall where the dragon chair was excavated, that is, the place where Jiang Xian saw the little ape crane at that time. Originally, there were one hundred and eight mouths, which was a terrible number. Bright yellow is the sky, silver and white is the earth. However, there are not only 108 people there. In the storage room inside, the exploration team found more scrap tripods.

This waste is not just a mutilation. It's just a little flawed compared to 1808 Ding. For example, this auctioned tripod, in the position of the land of Yan Kingdom, some of them are not engraved. That's why it appears at auction, but that doesn't affect its value in the slightest!

With a bid of 80 million, Mr. Ma from Huaguo was proud of the audience. After five countdowns, the auction gavel fell, and this "Warring States Seven Heroes" finally had its own surname.

The $80 million deal, the assistant has already done it. However, even Mr. Ma himself did not pay much attention...... No, perhaps, he was delighted, even if there are one hundred and eight tripods in front of this Warring States Seven Heroes Ding, it is also the only treasure that is not included in the Chinese Museum. It has a different meaning for any Chinese son, but no one cares about it now.

The audience was eerily silent, and their eyes were blazing towards the main stage. Even the auctioneer fell silent. As he nodded lightly towards the sidelines, the next second, the lights of the audience slowly dimmed.

"It's finally here......" Saito Akitada let out a long sigh of relief, and just a second before the lights dimmed, he took a deep look at the twentieth lot. That is, the lot at the climax level of the halftime - two lamps of Changxin Palace.

Countless eyes were on the main stage. Just two seconds after the darkness, a dazzling golden light lit up. Immediately afterwards, the magnificent music was like the Yangtze River, bursting the embankment and impacting everyone's heart!

It is the famous "Forbidden City of Divine Thought", which is known as the top chapter in music that celebrates Chinese culture.

The sound of the bell chime is like a heavenly sound, like a nine-day long river rushing down, and the pure and holy notes have knocked on thousands of years of culture. As if on the way to the pilgrimage, heaven and earth lifted the silver curtain of wind and snow on the top of the mountain, showing a new country with golden tiles and civil and military grace behind the vermilion wall.

Brush...... At the same time, a 3D projection lights up behind the main stage, which is a picture of the Qin and Han palaces taken from the documentary. From large to small, from surface to point, the picture continues to advance, and the perspective crosses the dark city walls, enters the solemn square, and then enters the palatial palace. Eventually, it fell into the ubiquitous Changxin Palace lamp in the palace.

At this moment, the music has become soft, round and jade, like a clear spring flowing, and at this moment, all the palace lights are lit up at the same time, and the flames are born slowly, as if bringing everyone into the Qin Dynasty that was flourishing thousands of years ago, Afang Palace.

"Changxin Palace lamp, the specific age is no longer reliable. It was first discovered in the Han Dynasty, and it is known that it was used in the Qin Dynasty in historical records, as well as in Han Dynasty murals and court records. Han Cheng Qin system, Changxin Palace lamp can be said to have witnessed the rise and fall of the two dynasties. It is a rare treasure in Chinese antiques. ”

"Among the Changxin Palace lamps of the Chinese dynasties, there are only these two for auction. From now on, there will be no more auctions of Changxin Palace lanterns. The 1,000 Changxin Palace lamps unearthed this time will all enter the National Museum. ”

Jiang Xian's voice paused: "Its history is so long that it can be verified from the major documents in China. Even during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, you can see some figures. And the two Changxin Palace lamps auctioned are even more valuable...... Its lamp oil can still burn! ”

"It is recorded in the historical records: With mermaid paste as a candle, the one who will not be extinguished will last for a long time. It is this lamp oil that has been recorded. Its composition has not yet been fully resolved, however, after inhaling a large amount of air, it ...... It will ignite automatically. These lamp oils are currently in the Changxin Palace lamp. According to calculations, it can also burn for a whole month. ”

He nodded to the auctioneer, and the auctioneer's voice became excited: "Now, there will be a unique auction of Changxin Palace lamps in the world, including the candle flames, which have not been touched since they were unearthed!" Just took out the wick in it! Auction starting price: 5 million! 100,000 plus one! Right now...... The auction begins! ”

The moment the voice fell, the audience was silent, and no one raised their signs.

Everyone is observing, this thing is second only to the Terracotta Army! Its name is also resounding internationally! Even fluttering across the sea. In the games of Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, where there are Chinese elements, once there are Qin and Han elements, Changxin Palace lamp is indispensable.

It is the epitome of Chinese culture and has witnessed the evidence of hundreds of years of history.

It is a representative of Chinese cultural symbols and a unique medal.

The auctioneer was not in a hurry, he knew very well that this kind of thing would never go unauctioned. In fact, the auction of two Changxin Palace lamps is also very controversial.

Ten seconds...... Twenty seconds...... Twenty seconds later, Saito Akitada smiled: "Since everyone is so reserved, it is better to let the old man start this." ”

Without hesitation, he raised his chin to his assistant, who slowly raised the sign, and at this moment, the lights were all on. When he saw the numbers on the sign, the auctioneer's pupils shrank violently, and the other rich people couldn't help but take a soft breath.

One hundred million.

$100 million!

What is this concept? At the top of the auction of foreign art are 170 million paintings. But...... That's added little by little. The starting price is only twenty or thirty million. However...... The lantern of Changxin Palace is 100 million!

This is the charm of culture, the added value brought by a long history! As the only one of the four ancient civilizations that has not broken its inheritance, and the witness of two of the dynasties, it has this card!

Want to lock your throat?

The Li woman glanced at Saito Mingzhong, Shenzhou did not miscalculate, Japan and South Korea are indeed the number one buyers of Chinese antiques, don't look at South Korea all day long and say that this is South Korea and that is Korean, once it comes to the auction of cultural relics, their bodies are far more honest than their mouths. They know all too well what is really good.

Isn't it okay to lock your throat...... The Li woman nodded to the assistant next to her, and the other party immediately held up a sign: 110 million!

Who will add 100,000 to you?

Play big if you want to play!

This thing, Samsung Li must get his hands on it!

It was like two bombs detonating, causing ripples in an instant. Before the Li woman's sign was put down, and the auctioneer could speak, a Middle Eastern man in a white robe held up the sign: 150 million!

Than money?

Hehehe...... We may not have too many high-rise buildings in the Middle East, but money is a ...... We really don't lack it.

Oh, yes...... It's true that I've only heard the name of the Changxin Palace Lamp, and I may not know as much of its preciousness as you do, but ...... Two thousand four hundred years, still intact antiques, its price is at least two or three hundred million! 150 million ...... This is just the beginning.

The markup is too fast and exaggerated. At the same time, several signs followed.

Representative of the Yechulov family, a resource tycoon of Russia: 170 million!

Andrea personally raised the card: 180 million!

In the opening 20 seconds, it directly crossed the highest peak in the history of art auctions! It also crosses the price of most antiques! Jump straight to the top!

The auctioneer's body trembled a little, and he felt that he had lost his voice in an instant, which was expected, but when it actually appeared, it was so adrenaline-pumping!

But...... That's not enough!

The most expensive lot in the world, in China.

In 2015, a painting by the French painter Paul . Gauguin's work "When Will You Get Married" sold for a sky-high price of 2 billion yuan! Claimed to be the most expensive lot ever! He didn't believe that Changxin Palace Lantern couldn't break this record! And this is the most prominent scene on his auction resume!

"One hundred and eighty million! One hundred million...... Two hundred million! $200 million! Mr. Zhong of Huaguo bid 200 million! And also...... 210 million! 200 million ...... 230 million!! ”

Hardly considered.

After their own price is exceeded, the rich people immediately ask people to write down new prices! On the LED screens that fall on both sides of the auction house, the numbers are beating wildly. In the blink of an eye, it has reached 270 million!

270 million...... It's getting closer and closer to surpassing "When Will You Get Married"! The auctioneer's voice was a little hoarse, and he shouted excitedly: "Two hundred and seventy million! Is there anything else? Everybody! This is a treasure from 2,400 years ago! Unique in the world! Think about it, more than 2,400 years ago, there was no such beautiful and complete work in the world! This is a rare work of art in human history! ”

Before the words fell, a sign was raised.

Three hundred million!

Ms. Wang from Huaguo Tianrun Group.

This is the real throat lock!
