Chapter 49: The Auction
"Handed over to the country?" Li Ting glared at the side.
"That's right, this is a national treasure, and it must be handed over to the state!" Yun Haiyong said firmly.
Li Yi couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw that the two antiques that Yun Haiyong was referring to were the "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" and the heirloom jade seal, which were also the two most valuable of all his exhibits.
"Brother Yong, tell you a secret, don't tell others, these two antiques are actually fake!"
"Huh?" Yun Haiyong was completely stunned.
"So you don't have to worry about the loss of state property, I am also a patriot, it is impossible to sell fakes to the country!" Li Yi patted Yun Haiyong on the shoulder.
Yun Haiyong's face suddenly became cloudy, and after a long time, he said, "You wait, I'll ask the expert!"
"Hai Yong, this person is too serious, don't mind!" Zhang Hongjuan saw Yun Haiyong turn around and leave, and explained to Li Yi with some embarrassment.
Now she also knows that Li Yi has extraordinary abilities, and ordinary people can't mess with them.
"Sister-in-law, if you say this, you will see the outside, and I will appreciate Brother Yong's upright character!" Li Yi said with a smile.
After a long while, Yun Haiyong staggered back again, took Li Yi's hand and said, "Xiao Yi, all experts unanimously agree that these two antiques of yours are genuine, so you must hand them over to the state! We have a cultural relics protection law, you can't sell them!"
Li Yi said: "Brother Yong, these are really fakes, don't you still believe my words?"
Yun Haiyong said in embarrassment: "I believe you, but you can't ignore the words of experts, if the national treasure leaks out, then the problem will be serious!"
Li Yi said: "Brother Yong, I have been short of money recently, and I urgently need to sell them to save my life." ”
"No, if you sell these two national treasures, they must be purchased by the state! You wait, I'll call Zhong Yang and promise not to let you suffer, don't auction them!"
After Yun Haiyong said this, he turned around and ran over to make a phone call again.
After a while, Tan Mingcheng walked over and said to Li Yi: "Mr. Li, I heard Commander Yun say that your two exhibits this time are too valuable, I'm afraid you can't participate in the auction, forgive me, forgive me." ”
"Ah, then won't we be able to make a lot of money?" Li Ting frowned worriedly.
She knows that this "Orchid Pavilion Preface" has been estimated at one billion yuan, and the value of the heirloom jade seal is higher than that of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface"!
All the exhibits in this exhibition add up to probably not as valuable as these two!
"No way, who called us Huaxia. Money and possessions are things outside of the body, so don't take them too seriously. Li Yi patted his sister's shoulder, and the expression on his face was very indifferent.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the exhibition ended, and the much-anticipated auction began.
Businessmen, groups, and collectors from all over the country, at home and abroad, entered the auction hall together.
At the same time, online auctions and telephone auctions have also begun to be connected, and people who have not come to the exhibition site can participate in this event through the Internet or telephone.
At the beginning of the auction, several exhibits that were supposed to be the finale were auctioned, and then it almost became a stage for Li Yi alone.
One by one, the exhibits were auctioned at sky-high prices and fell into Li Yi's pocket, and by the end of the auction, Li Yi's net worth had reached 600 million!
At this time, the host reported another auction item, and everyone held their breath together.
Because they know that the most valuable items of this exhibition are going to be sold!
Due to the ban on the auction of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and the Chuan Guoxi, the finale of this auction is Li Yi's two sets of Ru porcelain!
Perfect, "rain over the sky and blue clouds broken" Ru porcelain!
"I'm afraid that the auction item I'm bringing up now, I'm afraid that all of you here have been watching for hours, right?"
The host's first words made everyone laugh. Indeed, from the beginning of the exhibition, many collectors crowded around Li Yi's booth, constantly observing these pieces of Ru porcelain. The host said that they watched for hours, and it was not an exaggeration at all.
"This is a Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln, sky blue glaze engraved gooseneck bottle. As we all know, there is no big weapon in Ru kiln, and this bottle is as high as 18 cm, which should be regarded as a rare big vessel. This bottle is bright and moisturizing with a thin neck, with a circle foot under it, it was originally a pair, a neck and abdomen are engraved with a phoenix, and the other is engraved with a phoenix, the so-called phoenix is auspicious, this one is the one engraved with a phoenix. ”
"Oh, it's the one with the phoenix!" the group below nodded.
Li Yi brought two sets of Ru porcelain, one is a tea set, a pot of four bowls, azure, and the other is this pair of sky-blue porcelain bottles.
It stands to reason that a pair of bottles of porcelain should be auctioned together, but Ru porcelain is so valuable, I am afraid that no one can afford to sell it together, and it is not easy to sell it at a high price, so the auction decided to auction them separately.
"The porcelain vase is the only existence in the royal Ru porcelain, before Mr. Li's pair of porcelain vases came out, there was only one Ru kiln porcelain vase left in the world, the porcelain vase was full of open pieces, and it was not as good as this one at a glance. ”
"Hmm. Hearing the host's words, another group of people nodded. Li Yi's two sets of Ru porcelain are too perfect, so perfect that they are shockingly perfect, and they can be said to be the most beautiful Ru porcelain today!
"This porcelain vase is sky blue, Ru porcelain is precious to azure, pink and blue, sky blue is precious, there are only four pieces of sky blue glaze artifacts that have been handed down to the world before this, you are honored to see this fifth!"
......
In fact, the host will not introduce it, and everyone understands that this is a rare priceless treasure in the world, which is worth any antique collector to collect. So the moment the host announced the start of the auction, the scene boiled.
"Sky blue glazed engraved gooseneck bottle, a single piece engraved with a phoenix in pairs, with a reserve price of 100 million yuan!"
"Three hundred million!"
Mr. Li, a big businessman from Wanwan, directly raised the price by 200 million yuan at the first price!
Many people gasped, and many more deeply regretted it. Who doesn't want to buy this priceless treasure cheaply, but it's a pity that as soon as Mr. Li raises the price so much, they have no hope. They can only come up with one or two hundred million yuan if they go bankrupt.
There are also some who curse in their hearts, and they will raise 200 million as soon as they open their mouths, can you still let us have a good time?
"Three hundred and fifty million!" another voice came, it was Mr. Ni from the capital!
"Mr. Ni bid 350 million!" the host repeated.
"Three hundred and seventy million!" said Bryant of the Locke Consortium in the United States.
Bryant was auctioned off via online video, and when the translator translated him into English, another person offered a high price.
"Three hundred and eighty million!"
The bidder was from the Italian food giant Amidio, who conducted the auction over the phone.
"Four hundred million!" Mr. Li, who was crooked, shouted out another integer.
