Soon, the blue and white pen holder was auctioned by a wealthy businessman at a price of 2.8 million.

Immediately afterwards, Yamamoto said again:

"Now we have invited our second auction item, this is a blue and white porcelain bowl in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, although it is not a royal thing, and there is no special historical significance, but it is one of the only seven blue and white porcelain bowls left during the Ming Dynasty, the starting price is 5 million yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 10,000 yuan each time, and the bidding will start now!"

As soon as the sound fell, the entire auction hall began to boil.

"I'll pay 5.5 million, I want this blue and white porcelain bowl!"

"Five and a half million want such treasures? I'm out of six million! ”

"Seven million!"

"I'm out of eight million! Who can compete with me? ”

"Let's all take a break, when will such a price increase come out? I'm fifteen million! Those who don't have the strength should give up as soon as possible! ”

When a middle-aged merchant offered this price, there was silence in the auction hall for a while, and only after a while did another well-dressed old man get up and say:

"I'll give sixteen million!"

At this time, the rise in prices has slowly slowed down, far less fierce than before, and it should be that some people who know that their strength is not good have begun to give up.

"I didn't expect that this kind of treasure was taken out in the second object, this Bogu Chamber of Commerce is really rich!"

Yang Fan said with some yin and yang weirdness.

You must know that in general, only the finale item in the auction is the one with the highest value, and the first treasure is second, but I didn't expect the Bogu Chamber of Commerce to not follow the routine to play cards, and the second one will take out such a valuable object.

Yang Fan, who graduated from the Department of History himself, coupled with his immersion during this period of immersion, knows more about the antique industry, and as far as he knows, seven blue and white porcelain bowls from the Ming Dynasty have indeed been found so far.

However, the blue and white porcelain bowl handed down during the Hongwu period is the only one! The value of this blue and white porcelain bowl can be imagined!

"This thing is not a thing of the Bogu Chamber of Commerce, this is their auction, this blue and white porcelain bowl was originally in the hands of a respected old-timer in the industry, it is said that the old-timer died, the two sons made a fuss about separating the family, and the family property was divided into this blue and white porcelain bowl, the two brothers quarreled endlessly, and finally decided to take it out for auction, and the two brothers obtained half of the auction."

Liu Yutang shook his head, feeling a little regretful.

At this time, the auction has reached a white-hot stage, and there are fewer and fewer bidders, and the price has also risen at this time, from the initial 5 million to 27 million, and it is about to break through to the 30 million mark.

"I paid 35 million for this perfect work of art! If someone can get a higher price, I'm willing to pull out of the auction! ”

At this time, a middle-aged man stood up and spoke in broken Chinese.

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

Although it is a unique product, the price of this blue and white porcelain bowl is worth about 30 million, and it is not that there are no similar unique products handed down before, after all, it is not a royal thing, and there is no great historical allusion and other significance.

However, what surprised Yang Fan was not just the price, but because the person who said this was a blonde and blue-eyed wealthy businessman from a foreign country, and his face should be a beautiful person.

"Don't be surprised, don't say that it is an auction of the Bogu Chamber of Commerce founded by foreign businessmen, even if some of our own chambers of commerce in China hold auctions, there will be foreign businessmen, and now doing business is all about interests, no way, this is the status quo!"

Liu Yutang looked at Yang Fan's appearance and explained to him softly again.

"Okay, this gentleman has bid for thirty-five million, and is there anyone else who continues to bid? Well, we're thirty-five million at a time! ”

On the auction table in front, Yamamoto has already begun to read, and some of the people in the audience are talking to each other, and some are sitting in place with disappointed faces, obviously not ready to increase the price.

"Boss, let's take a picture of this thing, the premium part is mine."

Yang Fan pondered for a moment and said, he studied history and knew that these things had witnessed the prosperity and decline of a dynasty, and witnessed the difficult steps of the entire Dragon Kingdom step by step.

He really didn't want this kind of thing to fall into the hands of foreign merchants, and he didn't want it to appear at auction in a foreign country many years later, and then be auctioned back by some patriotic merchants at a high price.

Or, even worse, it will appear in the private museum of a wealthy merchant and will never return to China!

"I ......"

Liu Yutang nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a rather majestic voice sounded behind him:

"I'll give 36 million!"

"This ...... It's actually Kang Lao, I didn't expect Kang Lao to also participate in today's auction! ”

"It's not like Elder Kang never participated in these small ...... Is it an auction for the Sakura people who have a good day? How did it come out today? Could it be that there will be something in today's auction that even Kang Lao is tempted by? ”

"It's not impossible, but what kind of thing can make Kang Lao not hesitate to break his own principles to participate?"

Under the auction table, all the rich merchants were talking, and the rich businessmen of the beautiful country frowned, looking very angry, but after pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth and sat back in his seat.

"Who is this?"

Yang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Kang Lao, an old collector of the same era as our teacher Zhang Qingshan, but he is very low-key compared to the teacher, I heard that he later joined a certain department of the state and is committed to protecting these cultural relics in China."

Liu Yutang whispered to Yang Fan.

"Hmm."

Yang Fan nodded and looked at the old man who got up, with reverence in his eyes.

Before, he didn't have much direction, and what he said to Qian Bingyun was right, he just wanted to rely on his plug-in, pick up some leaks to make some money, and live a small life of little wealth and peace.

As long as no one doesn't open their eyes to provoke him, he doesn't bother to do anything to change.

It's just that now, he has a different idea in his heart, he feels that God has given him a plug-in that is beyond others, and it has also given him a different responsibility!

He hadn't thought much about it before, but now, the moment he saw that Kang Lao, he figured out that he would be the same character as Kang Lao in the future, and protect the country's treasures from being exiled abroad!

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, at this moment, Yang Fan made his heart clear!
