The Christie's auction of Gallic chickens was held at the Grand Palais in Paris.

In the middle of the 1,200-person venue, the auction is in full swing.

Looking at the artifacts from all over the world, interested collectors raised their auction cards, and after a bidding battle, the winner pocketed the artifact and then nodded politely at the competitor with a smile on his lips.

A group of foreigners also applauded the collector with a graceful "gentleman" appearance.

In the whole auction, there is a hypocrisy to the point of being a little greasy "upper"!

Then the well-dressed and glamorous Yanma auctioneer on the stage launched the finale of this auction in an uplifting tone, the rat head and rabbit head of two of the twelve beast heads from China.

On the big screen at the venue, a photo of a rat's head appeared!

The starting price is 9 million euros, which is almost 90 million euros, less than 100 million.

This starting price is several times higher than the price of the previous twelve beast heads!

In fact, Christie's announced the information of this auction last year, especially after letting the mainland know that there were rat heads and rabbit heads, and the mainland's reaction was quite large.

The official even sent a letter directly to Christie's to request that the auction be stopped, and pointed out that the two cultural relics were stolen by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and did not conform to the auction rules of "clear origin of goods".

On the civilian side, there is even a recourse team composed of hundreds of lawyers.

But it's a pity that Christie's obviously didn't give face.

Even such a high starting price is because after seeing such a big reaction from the mainland, they want to deliberately trap us!

The cultural relics value of the twelve beast heads is actually nothing, after all, they are only ornamental faucets in the royal garden, and they are obviously not called "national treasures".

However, the history of humiliation in modern times has endowed these twelve beast heads with a value that exceeds their own cultural relics.

In other words, in fact, except for us Huaxia people, other foreigners are not very interested in these two beast heads!

After the starting price was quoted, the venue that could seat 1,200 people suddenly fell silent, and no one took the lead in bidding.

Most of the foreigners who knew that it was lively sat there with great interest, looking at the Chinese faces in the venue.

After about a while, someone finally lost his breath.

A white man with a typical Gallic chicken-looking appearance held up a sign and was the first to bid!

Needless to say, this is clearly the childcare of the auction.

Seeing that the nursery of the auction hall had already appeared, a person with a Chinese face in the venue took out his mobile phone and called directly......

At this time, outside the auction venue, a luxury car Shi Shiran stopped at the door.

Huo Chengyin hung up the phone, gestured to his second uncle, and said:

"Second uncle, let's go in!"

Huo Mingjie, who was dressed in a straight suit, nodded, immediately opened the car door, and got out of the car with long legs.

After tidying up his slightly wrinkled blazer a little, Huo Mingjie looked up at the door of the venue in front of him and couldn't help but pout.

The two uncles and nephews came over today, and they were making trouble!

The staff standing at the door suddenly lit up when they saw Huo Mingjie getting off the car at this time.

The luxuriously dressed and noble Chinese face still rushed over at the end of the auction, obviously for the finale!

The staff hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Huo Mingjie respectfully, and then didn't even ask anything more, and directly brought the uncle and nephew in.

Then at the registration office at the entrance of the auction venue, Huo Chengyin directly showed the VIP identity of Mr. Cai, the "Foundation for Saving Overseas Lost Cultural Relics", and let the auction staff confirm their identities.

This Mr. Cai is also a well-known "big fat sheep" abroad, and once spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy Chinese cultural relics lost overseas.

In fact, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the official stood up in advance this time and wanted to stop this auction, Mr. Cai would really try his best to scrape together money to redeem these two beast heads......

In the huge venue, only two foreigners kept raising the price, from the original starting price of 9 million euros to 11 million euros.

The Chinese man who had just called his uncle and nephew raised the auction card in his hand somewhat casually at this time and raised the price to 12 million.

The two nurses, who were clearly invited by the auction house, tried to raise the price to 13 million again after receiving instructions from the person behind the scenes.

At this time, the atmosphere was the most tense, and the auction side had already obtained a relatively satisfactory price and made a final attempt.

Now it's just up to the mainland side, whether it will make a move!

At this time, the door of the auction hall was opened from the outside, which suddenly broke the tense and exciting atmosphere in the venue.

The Chinese who was being stared at by everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this time, stood up and waved to Huo Mingjie.

At this moment, I saw that everyone's attention shifted to Huo Mingjie at the door.

Huo Mingjie is unusually handsome, tall, and has a noble and graceful temperament, which gives foreigners a feeling of mysterious oriental aristocrats that have been inherited for thousands of years.

For a while, the eyes of many Yanmars in the venue lit up, and they couldn't stop looking at Huo Mingjie who suddenly appeared.

Even those foreigners showed expressions of interest at this time.

And Huo Mingjie did not disappoint these foreigners who wanted to watch the excitement, and said calmly in fluent English:

"Fourteen million euros!"

For a moment, the faces of the auctioneers suddenly showed a look of joy.

The Yanmar auctioneer on the stage, his eyes kept wandering around Huo Mingjie a few times, and then he was reminded a few words in the headphones, and then he dropped the hammer and sold the deal as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Huo Mingjie smiled slightly and walked into the venue.

Then the auctioneer on the stage continued to take out the second rabbit head.

At this time, without even waiting for the people on the stage to finish the introduction, Huo Mingjie, who had just sat down, directly raised his sign and shouted again:

"It's still 14 million euros!"

It's here to make trouble, not to mention 14 million euros, it's 41 million euros, Huo Mingjie dares to report it!

In the middle of the venue, there was an instant silence.

Looking at Huo Mingjie, who was sitting in the position with his head slightly raised, his noble temperament and scorching and dazzling like the sun, the eyes of the Yanmars were full of brilliance.

The foreigners who originally watched the excitement couldn't help but whisper to each other and discuss Huo Mingjie's identity in private......

The auction house was quite satisfied with the price, and even didn't need to take care of it, so it dropped the hammer directly:

"Deal!"
