Chapter 20 The End of the Auction

As the Theravada Buddha statue began to be auctioned, both the audience and the telephone bidders placed bids.

"No. 253 bids 12 million."

"Okay, No. 359 bid 15 million."

"No. 461 bids 17 million."

"The number 13 call offers 20 million."

The fierce bidding made the people on the scene and the audience in the live broadcast room excited.

Good guys, it's rare for so many people to bid on an item.

If it weren't for the fact that it didn't bother others, maybe someone would have taken out their phones.

The auctioneer on the stage was also very excited to see such a situation, and watched the bids of the guests on the scene intently, for fear of missing a bid.

Zheng Jing was already happy when he saw such a fierce bidding.

For him, the more people who bid, the better, and the higher the price, the better.

"The number 66 call is quoted at 26 million."

"No. 93 bids 28 million."

"No. 137 bid 30 million."

In a short time, the price of the Theravada Buddha statue came to 30 million.

At this time, there are many fewer people bidding on the spot.

As time went on, the auction for Theravada Buddha statues came to an end.

"The price of the 33rd call is 36 million."

"The price of the 66th call is 37 million."

"No. 638 bids 38 million."

"The number 13 call is quoted at 40 million."

As the price came to 40 million, the number of bidders instantly decreased by a few people.

There were only a few people on the spot and a mysterious person who made a phone offer.

In the end, the Theravada Buddha statue was sold for 45 million yuan.

As the auctioneer dropped the hammer three times, there was a lot of discussion on the scene.

More than 40 million is a lot of money for some of them.

Some of the young people who had followed their elders to see it had already been shocked.

It's really a long time to see this time.

Zheng Jing, who was sitting in a single room upstairs, saw the final price and stood up from the sofa excitedly.

Thinking of his previous experience, he couldn't help but cry with a smile.

For him, it's a bittersweet time.

He doesn't have to worry about money anymore.

He regained his mood and sat on the couch waiting for the last item to be auctioned.

There was a break at halftime.

The auction resumed five minutes later.

The auctioneer stood on the stage, looked at the guests below, said a few jokes, and then said, "I see that some of the guests can't wait, and I know that many people are coming for this item."

Ask our staff to bring the last item up. ”

Two female staff members dressed in cheongsams walked up carrying a table.

When the staff went down, the auctioneer came to the table and took off the red cloth that covered the Buddha statue.

As the red cloth was removed, a golden Buddha statue appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing everyone's expressions, the auctioneer exclaimed: "This Buddha statue has been identified by several cultural relics experts at Sotheby's, and the material of this Buddha statue is carved from a whole piece of glass.

Tested by professional equipment, this jade Buddha statue dates back to the Ava dynasty in 1481.

The Ava dynasty was a dynasty in Burma, so the most likely thing about this Buddha statue is a royal item.

Moreover, the golden jade is carved into a special fit of the Buddha statue, and the Shakyamuni is carved vividly.

Who can miss such a thousand-year-old glass imperial gold jade Buddha statue?

Well, without further ado, the starting price of the Imperial Golden Jade Buddha statue is 100 million, and the price is increased by 5 million each time. ”

When some people heard this price, their faces changed, and they shook their heads and gave up the bid.

Sotheby's set the starting price of this Buddha statue at 100 million for a reason, because they know that this Buddha statue has a lot of rich people's attention.

They are not afraid of unsuccessful auctions at all, it is because of this confidence that they dare to set the price so high.

Hearing this price, Zheng Jing was not surprised, after all, the whole piece of glass carved with golden jadeite Buddha statue can be imagined.

After all, there are so many rich people in this world, there are always a few who believe in Buddhism, right?

As long as these rich people who believe in Buddhism know about this thing, can they still take pictures?

"Call 66 offers 130 million."

"Call 139 offers 150 million."

"No. 329 bids 155 million."

"No. 46 bids 160 million."

Hearing the price of tens of millions and tens of millions of increases, the people sitting at the scene exchanged their heads one after another.

Talking about who made the price.

Not to mention the live broadcast room, I was already shocked and numb to see such an upward price.

Zheng Jing had already stood up from the sofa when he heard such a price, and walked around the room excitedly.

The highest price of the system is 300 million, and the final transaction price may be more than that.

It seems that the system also underestimates the rich.

As time passed, the auction price of this Buddha statue also came to 210 million, and the price is still fluctuating wildly.

The auctioneer worked hard to sell the Buddha statue in his hoarse voice.

As long as the auction price of this Buddha statue exceeds the price they have booked, then his reward will be rich.

That's why he works so hard.

"Call 88 offers 300 million."

"Wow"

The audience at the scene was surprised to hear that the price had increased from 250 million to 300 million.

"Is this the end of the country's big guy?"

"I don't know, it should be someone from Europe."

"Don't Europeans believe in God?"

"I feel like this mysterious boss should be Asian."

"I didn't shoot anything today, but I didn't come in vain."

"It's worth the trip, this auction is really exciting."

"I don't know where Sotheby's got these two Buddha statues."

"I can't inquire, the seller is very mysterious."

"Could it be Burmese? After all, both Buddha statues are from Myanmar. ”

"If it were a Burmese seller, I don't think he would sell these two Buddha statues."

"My brother is right, I work in Myanmar, and the people there believe in Buddhism to the core, and it is indeed unlikely that they will be."

"The price of the 11th call is 350 million."

"Call 22 offers 355 million."

"The price of the number 100 call is 370 million."

"Call 88 offers 400 million."

As soon as the offer of 400 million came out, the people on the scene and the audience in the live broadcast room instantly boiled.

Zheng Jing had already sat on the ground excitedly.

His mind was blank now, and he didn't know anything.

A month ago, he was an ordinary salesman, busy working for three meals a day, but a month later, he actually became a billionaire, and he didn't dare to write such a novel.

As soon as the price of 400 million came out, the offer instantly decreased, but there were still many people bidding.

Seeing the rising price, the people at the scene were very quiet, and they also wanted to know how much the Buddha statue would cost.

With another round of bidding, some people quit and others joined.

These last people to join are very powerful, and each increase is tens of millions.

After more than half an hour of fierce bidding, the Imperial Golden Jade Buddha Statue was sold at a price of 660 million.
