Half an hour later, the auction began again.

As soon as Mike came up, he said:

"The next item to be auctioned is from my old friend Joe. He's an avid collector and it's a miracle to be able to get his collection out of his hands! ”

A white man in his fifties sitting on the couch raised his hand and smiled in response to Mike's words.

This white man has a bit of the so-called aristocratic temperament in the West, and he should have been a handsome guy when he was young.

Although he is almost fifty years old now, he still looks like a handsome uncle, and he is not greasy at all.

If you let it out, it's no problem to charm a bunch of little girls who like uncles.

"What Joe took out this time is a very precious collectible - the Yuan blue and white jar from Huaxia: Sanying Zhan Lu Bu!"

Many of the people involved in the auction had seen this thing in the catalog, so as soon as they heard Mike say this, the audience immediately became lively.

The two bunny girls cautiously carried the large pot of Yuan blue and white and walked over and placed it on the table.

The large jar is about fifty centimeters high, twenty centimeters in diameter, and almost thirty or forty centimeters in width at its widest point.

The body of the large jar is painted with a lotus pattern, and the front is a picture of the Three Heroes fighting Lu Bu. It looks like it was at that time.

Zhu Yu glanced at it and found that this was indeed porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, and it was in very good condition, without a little crack or bump, very complete.

"Joe, I know that you received this piece of porcelain at great expense in the hands of a collector. You've been hiding him since the auction and don't even want to share it with others, so why are you putting it up for auction now? ”

Mike didn't look like an auctioneer at the moment, but like a gossip man, inquiring about Joe's thoughts with interest.

Joe spread his hands and said:

"Because of the problem of the old man with urinary incontinence, my last investment failed......"

His words immediately caused everyone to laugh.

As with Mike, Joe taunted the incumbent first—something the others shared.

"Then it's not surprising that he did more stupid things than the five stupidest presidents in the history of the beautiful country combined—so you were short of money and thought about selling this little treasure?"

"It's not small at all!" Joe retorted, "I didn't sell him because I didn't have the money, I felt like now was the time when it was at its highest."

I think after a while, the popularity of Yuan Qinghua may pass, so it's best to shoot now.

You know, I'm not just a collector, I'm an investor in artifacts. I spend money to buy artifacts, and now I just want to earn back my original investment and earn back the money I made for the next investment. ”

"So can you tell me how much you spent on this Yuan Qinghua when you bought it?" Mike had the feeling of breaking the casserole and asking for the end.

】

However, Zhu Yu likes this auction style, at least it is not so rigid, and he even thinks that Qiankun Auction House can use this style, which will definitely be different.

"Mike, even if we're friends, you shouldn't tear down my desk - if I tell the original price, do you think they'll still shoot at the price I'm shooting now?"

Joe was in a state of anger when he said this.

But Mike laughed and said:

In fact, you can understand it this way, which shows the success of your investment! Maybe because China is getting stronger and stronger, these cultural relics that represent the highest craftsmanship of Chinese porcelain will be more valuable in the future? ”

Joe touched his chin thoughtfully:

"Maybe you're right—I bought this big jar for $27 million in the first place."

"Joe, you're so greedy!" McHaha laughed, feeling a sense of pride after doing something bad, "You want to sell him for twice as much - but I wish you all the best of luck - well, the auction begins!" ”

"Five million dollars!"

It's Yang Xiong again.

But this time, everyone was not so surprised by Yang Xiong's bid. After the last auction, some of them felt that Yang Xiong was just a coax, not so persistent about the lot, and even had a sense of grandstanding.

So the price he offered was soon surpassed by others:

"Fifty-three million!"

"Fifty-five million!"

"Fifteen,500,000!"

……

After the first auction of the Yuan blue and white pot with a high price of more than 100 million yuan, there are few low-priced ones in the subsequent auctions.

The price has been speculated, and after that, neither the holder nor the potential customer wants the price to fall.

Moreover, such a large porcelain can only be fired in Huaxia in ancient times, and the shape is so large and the quality is so perfect, it is rare to survive in the world.

So although Qiao has already said that he feels that it is now the peak of the price of Yuan blue and white porcelain, there are still people who actively bid for it.

Joe was also very happy to see the price soaring.

This is his most successful investment in recent years.

Mike leaned in front of the auction table, just listening to the lively bidding of these people there, he didn't participate, just watched.

Soon, he found out that there was one person in the entire auction hall who did not participate in the auction except Joe.

That is Zhu Yu.

It shouldn't be!

This Yuan blue and white big pot, even Yang Xiong, who had some speculative behavior before, participated in the fierce bidding, but this Zhu Yu did not bid once.

And in that state, it doesn't feel like waiting until the end to bid - he seems to be watching a show.

There is not the slightest thought of getting involved.

Isn't he interested in this?

But this is a very representative thing in the history of Chinese civilization!

After having money, many wealthy people in China will do everything possible to buy cultural relics from China and send them back to China.

As far as he knew, this Zhu Yu had also done something similar.

But why doesn't he open his mouth now?

Not only Mike was staring at Zhu Yu, but even Yang Xiong was staring at Zhu Yu.

He originally guessed that Zhu Yu would bid for this Yuan blue and white pot, and then he raised the price fiercely to let him know what an old-timer was!

It's just that Zhu Yu didn't participate in the auction from beginning to end, which made him very depressed.

However, he himself also has a good impression of this Yuan blue and white pot, so he has been raising the price until 81 million, and he is still bidding.

But not many people are following at the moment.

Now this price has exceeded the bottom line of many people. In their opinion, although this large blue and white pot has appreciation value, it is much worse than Monet's paintings.

In the end, the Yuan blue and white jar was auctioned away by a white man with a slightly dark complexion at a price of 83.5 million.

Yang Xiong gave up when he reached 82 million - he felt that his money was not so easy to come by now, and when he gave up, there were still two people fighting, he thought that it would be 100 million, so he didn't continue.

It didn't work out before it reached more than 83 million, which made him regret it - he knew that he would have persevered!

He finally retracted his claws, which also made many people feel that this person came to arch the fire, but in fact he didn't have real perseverance - the two ends of the first rat can't be handed over.

"Okay, this big pot of blue and white is now Mr. Jensen's. After the auction, Mr. Jensen, you can take this treasure. ”

That Jensen was very happy, and he almost couldn't take his eyes off the big jar sent by the bunny girl, and he should really like it.

"Well, next up is a very unique item, not a big deal for some, but holy for others – a Bible made of gold from the Dead Sea!

After identification, this Bible is from about 100 A.D., and its value can be imagined! ”

Before Mike finished speaking, some people down there were already talking loudly!

Obviously, some people were very excited, and it seemed that they were very determined to take down this golden Bible.

Mike originally wanted to tease a few words, but after seeing the reactions of these people, he knew that it was not good to say more, so he started filming directly:

"The starting price is $18 million, and the bidding is now open!"

"Two and a half million dollars!"

The first person to open his mouth directly raised the price by almost two-thirds!

"Three million dollars!"

"Three million dollars!"

……

Zhu Yu looked a little dumbfounded!

It's a bit crazy!

However, he soon found out that there were only four people participating in the bidding, and the others were waiting and watching.

These four people bid not very often, each person adds once, slowly, and then it is very possible not to add, mainly after adding, the price changes too quickly to keep up.

So when the price reached 38 million, it stopped.

Everyone knows that the Golden Bible, in the eyes of some people, is a priceless treasure.

But in the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary gold item, at most for a long time.

In the end, the golden Bible was sold off for 38 million by a fanatical religious figure.

Seeing the appearance of the golden Bible in front of the man, Zhu Yu had no doubt that when no one was around, he might fall asleep with this Bible in his arms, or worship it every day.

Next, the Bunny Girl brought up a bronze object.

Zhu Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and then he relaxed again.

It's finally here!

Tiger cannibal!

More than 30 centimeters high, it looks like it came out of the old pit, the pulp is very thick, the surface is very smooth, and there is no rust that comes out of the pit.

Mike glanced at Zhu Yu and then at Yang Xiong, and then introduced:

"The next thing to be auctioned is also provided by Qiao, a piece of ancient China, which should be a bronze from more than 3,000 years ago."

Joe again?

Zhu Yu glanced at that Qiao, it seems that this person has a lot of collections!

Do you want to talk to him in the future and see if you can find some good things from him?

"The bronze is in the image of a tiger with a man under its mouth. There are many interpretations of this image, but I won't go into them here.

I just want to tell you that there are two bronzes that are publicly available all over the world, one in the Wa Kingdom and one in France. Now before you is the third one! ”

Zhu Yu opened his eyes and found that this thing was really genuine!

It is indeed a bronze from the middle and late Shang Dynasty, which has not been broken or repaired.

Although there is a lot of rust, it is not heavy.

It's a national treasure!

What's more, it has an inscription on the bottom!

The kind of special oracle bone glyph, although Zhu Yu can't recognize it, he can confirm it!

Six words, not much, but enough to make Zhu Yu secretly excited again!

Mike didn't know about the text, or he didn't care. He just told the others, and there are only three of them in the world.

Zhu Yu knew what he meant, and it might be Qiao's meaning as well.

How precious this is!

"Joe, I want to know, why don't you continue to collect such a precious thing?"

"It's not in my aesthetic." Joe shook his head, "So I think it's better to recommend it to someone who is destined!" ”

Zhu Yu thought to himself, that's me!

"Well, because bronzes are a relatively unpopular collector's item, this world-class treasure starts at $10 million – bidding now!"

"Eleven million dollars!"

It's Yang Xiong again!

Zhu Yu looked at Yang Xiong, and he found that this person was showing a meaningful smile at him!

Damn, he found out!

It can be seen that this is planning to fight with himself!

Yang Xiong had been observing Zhu Yu before.

When Zhu Yu appeared in the Tiger Cannibal, his expression, which had always been relatively calm, changed.

So he was sure that Zhu Yu must participate in the auction of this bronze!

So let's fight!

In Yang Xiong's opinion, even if Zhu Yu is a nouveau riche, he can't compare to his own profound heritage, right?

However, his offer, in the eyes of others, is equivalent to the existence of a-stirring stick!

After all, he was the first to make an offer the first few times, and the momentum was so big, but in the end he didn't shoot anything!

Such an existence may serve as a pretext for the auction, but it is extremely unfriendly to the bidder.

Zhu Yu no longer looked at Yang Xiong, he felt that this was just a clown jumping off the beam at the moment.

"Fifteen million." Zhu Yu raised his hand.

After a brief silence, someone immediately followed:

"Sixteen million!"

"Seventeen million!"

"Seventeen and a half million!"

……

Bidding prices have been rising, not by a small margin, but they have continued.

After all, there are only three pieces left in the world, which is a great temptation for anyone.

But after all, it is bronze, and not many people know about it.

So when Zhu Yu quoted the price to 24 million for the fourth time, there were only two followers left.

One Yang Xiong, only 500,000 each time.

The other was a white man who had never photographed, about thirty years old, with a fierce face and aggressive eyes.

"Twenty-six million." Today, only one painting was auctioned for 100 million US dollars, and Zhu Yu is now considered wealthy, so he did not hesitate at all, and directly added 2 million.

Yang Xiong continued to follow:

"Twenty-six and a half million."

The white man hesitated, and chose to follow:

"Twenty-seven million!"

"Thirty million!" Zhu Yu was too lazy to grind with these people, so he directly increased it to 30 million.

The white man glanced at Zhu Yu and gave up directly:

"You're ruthless! It seems that over the years, the Chinese people have really been rich! ”

"It's not about you!" Zhu Yu replied suddenly.

Yang Xiong did not hesitate at all:

"Three thousand and a half million!"

It's really sticky candy!

Zhu Yu frowned, this one is a little kicking his nose and face!

"Thirty-five million!"

He looked at Yang Xiong.

Is he still with him?
