Although Shen Lingyun's attention was on Bao Yingyi, out of the corner of her eye, she still saw a tall figure flashing through the window on the second floor, a little like Huo Fenghua.

looked up carefully, but there was no one in the windows to image Huo Fenghua.

Bao Yingyi had just clinked glasses with Shen Lingyun, and before he could drink the wine, he saw the other party looking up, and he also looked up at the window on the second floor in surprise.

The auction hall is very large and very high, and some of the windows on the second floor protrude outward, and there are also bidding there, but there are only ten windows on it, which is not for ordinary people.

At least one billion people with more than one billion yuan can sit on the second floor.

Although the family behind Shen Lingyun and Cao Huili is worth a lot of money, they never thought that they would sit on the second floor today, so they did not verify the capital, and only sat in the hall on the first floor according to the invitation.

Bao Yingyi only came to do charity on behalf of the family today, and he didn't think about going up to the second floor.

At this time, seeing that Shen Lingyun's eyes had been patrolling the second floor, he remembered that he had never seen the other party on this occasion, thinking that the other party did not know the rules here, and explained in a low voice: "Mrs. Huo, the seat on the second floor needs to be verified by one billion yuan to sit, if you want to go up, I can accompany you." ”

From these words, you can see how much money he brought today.

Shen Lingyun didn't find a familiar figure in the window on the second floor, and after thinking about it, she had just asked Sister Ying to send snacks to Huo Fenghua's company before she went out, and the other party would definitely not appear at the auction at this point in time.

Thinking that she recognized the wrong person, she replied to Bao Yingyi's words, "Bao Shao, no, I'm just curious about who can sit on the second floor." ”

"In fact, the people sitting on it are not necessarily more financially rich than us."

When Bao Yingyi said this, he looked around meaningfully, and then whispered again: "Low-key people are on the first floor, and the second floor is generally nouveau riche, or people who are sassy-bao." ”

Shen Lingyun was amused by Bao Yingyi's words, raised the wine glass in his hand and raised it to the other party again.

The two who looked at each other and smiled took a sip of wine before ending this greeting.

"Lingyun, I just got the news that the level of this auction has been upgraded." After Shen Lingyun finished chatting with Bao Yingyi, Cao Huili leaned over and whispered to her.

"Huh? What's going on? ”

Shen Lingyun looked at the auction list provided by the auction house in his hand.

They already knew what to auction in today's auction, and they had also discussed which one to buy what collection, so as to avoid grabbing one collection and raising the price of the lot.

"This auction was originally held by the local auction house of Ji Bohua in Xiangjiang, but it has just been reported that Caltex in country M and Big Ed in country Y have joined the two auctions, and the collection in today's auction has also changed."

This is Wang Ruxue explaining.

Her husband is one of the four major families in Hong Kong and is very well-informed.

Shen Lingyun's eyes flashed with surprise, "In other words, there may be more valuable collections that will appear today?" ”

She knew about Caltex and Big Ed.

These two auction houses are among the most prestigious auction houses in the world, both now and in the future, and their collections are not limited to all kinds of art. jewelry collections, they can also auction shipping routes and land.

"Yes, I joined these two auction houses today, and there will definitely be a price at the meeting

When the extraordinary collection appeared, I said that the second floor was full of people today, and it turned out that today was a big scene. ”

Mei Qiushan's expression was very serious, and her eyes kept patrolling the ten windows on the second floor.

It's a pity that they got the news late, otherwise there would definitely be a place for a few of them on the second floor today.

Shen Lingyun could see that Wang Ruxue and the others were a little unhappy.

Also, the husbands of several of them are all people who can make Xiangjiang shake three times with a stomp, and it is strange that they can be happy when they are put on a show by the auction house.

"Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Huo, and Mrs. Other Flavors, the temporary change may not be Ji Bohua's problem, it is estimated that it is the other two, I suspect that there is something wrong with today's auction."

Bao Yingyi's position was very close to Shen Lingyun and the others, and it was easy to hear the voices of Shen Lingyun and the others, and after Cao Huili's words landed, he also joined the topic.

"In fact, whether you sit upstairs or sit in the hall, the final comparison is all about funds, I believe that as long as we can be valued, no one will be able to compete with us."

Shen Lingyun is rational and sober, waking everyone up not to be impulsive.

It's not that they didn't sit on the second floor, and those positions were originally what they didn't care about.

Cao Huili and the others listened to Shen Lingyun's words, and they were in a better mood.

"Yes, Lingyun is right, I don't believe that there are several of us here, and there are still people who have more funds than us." Wang Ruxue said this very domineeringly, and she also has this domineering background.

The wealthy Kota of this era is not the same as later generations.

Most of them are accompanied by Mr. Kuotai to succeed step by step, and they can master a certain amount of family funds, unlike the vase Kuotai of later generations, who have to sign an IOU with a piece of family inheritance jewelry.

Just as Shen Lingyun and the others were talking, a figure hurriedly approached.

It's Bao Yingyi's person.

"Young master, a few wives, I have inquired clearly, the guests on the second floor No. 3 and No. 5 are businessmen from Xiaori." As soon as the visitor approached, he whispered the news he had heard.

Shen Lingyun and the others were already calm, but when they heard the news, everyone's faces tensed again.

"Although there were small days to participate in every auction before, there is really no situation like today, I guess today's collection must be very special, so special that small days grabbed two places on the second floor."

Mei Qiushan's expression was particularly serious.

Because of family reasons, she has no good impression of Xiao Ri.

"Ah Feng, whose other locations upstairs belong to, is it possible to get a place?" Bao Yingyi's face is not very good-looking, he has a hunch that today's auction will be very hot.

Ah Feng looked at Bao Yingyi in embarrassment, and replied in a low voice: "Young master, I have inquired, the owners of several other positions are very mysterious, and I can't even inquire which one the location belongs to." ”

Not only did Bao Yingyi understand Ah Feng's words, but Shen Lingyun and the others also understood.

"Forget it, just sit down, a position doesn't mean anything." Shen Lingyun knew that the seat could not be changed, so she settled down.

Cao Huili and the others looked at the calm Shen Lingyun, and they were all immersed in their emotions.

Everyone has been in the world for a long time, and this accident can be bearable.

Bao Yingyi saw that Shen Lingyun and the others had calmed down, so he waved his hand to Ah Feng, and Ah Feng hunched his waist and quickly retreated.

Shen Lingyun and the others got the auction house to join the other two, and the other guests sitting in the hall also got it one after another, and after a while of whispering, the hall returned to quiet.

What is not calm is the sight of all.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the auction started on time, and with the appearance of the three hosts, it was also revealed that the auction was jointly held by the three auction houses.

At the beginning, the host apologized to the guests.

Two auction houses have been added temporarily, and the collection is very different from the auction list issued before.

In the face of the host's sincere apology, the scene was quiet.

The people who can sit in this hall are at least worth hundreds of millions, and they are temporarily put together, no matter how sincerely the organizer apologizes, it is a kind of snubbing for everyone.

If it weren't for everyone's decency, it is estimated that some people would have left immediately.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as a sign of apologies, the first collection is guaranteed to your satisfaction."

On the presiding stage, Zhong Fang saw that the atmosphere was condensed, and knew that no matter how many kind words he said, he couldn't enliven the atmosphere, so he simply went straight to the topic.

As his words landed, several female guests in dresses came on the stage with trays of grace.

The items in the tray are covered with a red cloth, this scene is different from the past, if it was before, the collection would not be covered with a cloth at all, but I wish that all the lights on the scene would be on the collection for all the guests to see clearly.

Only by seeing clearly can we stimulate everyone's passion.

The convention was different today, but it aroused everyone's curiosity, and all eyes were focused on the object covered by the red cloth.

Even Shen Lingyun is no exception.

When the tray was finally placed on the auction table, Zhongfang used the auction rod to uncover the red cloth that covered the collection.

As the red cloth was unveiled, the lights of the entire auction were focused on the collection.

In the red tray, a piece of porcelain is snow-white and delicate, as thin as an egg curtain, but as smooth as jade, and the porcelain catches everyone's eyes.

Most of the people who can sit here are discerning, and when they see the collection clearly, many people's eyes flash with shock.

It's a rare piece of collectibles.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this first auction item comes from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty of China, and has been identified by many masters, and it is the best of the best porcelain, called Doucai Chicken Cup, and the small cup is wide at the top and ...... at the bottom."

The sound of the bell fang sounded slowly in the large hall, and it also let everyone know the weight of the level of this first collection.

Produced by Ji Bohua, no one doubts the authenticity of this collection.

From the beginning of its establishment, Ji Bohua has been known for being true, fair, and undeceived, and if this auction house dares to sell fake collections, it will pay ten for one fake.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the starting price of this collection is five million, and each increase shall not be less than 100,000."

As soon as Zhong Fang's voice landed, someone immediately raised a sign: "Five and a half million." ”

The price is increased by 500,000 at a time, which shows that the other party is very optimistic about this lot.

Shen Lingyun was also ready to move.

As a person from later generations, of course, she knows how valuable this Ming Dynasty Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup is, she remembers that this collection first appeared in the 60s, in the 70s there were two times, and then in the 80s, it was the fourth time

It is precisely because this year's collection was auctioned for the first time in the eighties

It has appeared three more times.

Every appearance caused a sensation.

The auction price has also increased time and time again, with the highest price coming at the 2014 Spring Auction of Important Chinese Porcelain and Crafts in Fubi, Jiangsu, which sold for HK$281.24 million to set a new world auction record for Chinese porcelain. (Note 1)

Shen Lingyun remembered that the buyer seemed to be surnamed Liu.

"Six million."

"Seven million."

"Nine and a half million."

Just when Shen Lingyun fell into his memory, the bidding price also entered a white heat, and the higher and higher bidding sounded loudly in the hall, and each price increase started from fifty to one million.

"Lingyun, do you want to shoot?"

On the side, Cao Huili suddenly whispered to Shen Lingyun, she liked this Doucai Chicken Cup very much, and she planned to bid, but because Shen Lingyun was participating in such an auction with them for the first time, she asked thoughtfully.

Of course Shen Lingyun wants to shoot!

Don't look at the Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup, there are a lot of them, but those collections are either in the Wanwan Museum or in the domestic museum, only a few are in the people, and the ones that can be auctioned must be the folk collections.

As long as he thought that this collection was worth more than 200 million in later generations, Shen Lingyun couldn't wait to raise his card immediately.

But looking at the liking in Cao Huili's eyes, and then at the restraint in the eyes of Wang Ruxue and the others, she could only endure the liking and smiled at Cao Huili, "Sister, I'll wait for the next collection, you can shoot this one." ”

"Thank you, Lingyun."

Cao Huili instantly saw Shen Lingyun's wisdom, and she liked this little friend who was two rounds younger than herself.

"Eldest sister, hurry up and ask for the price, if you don't call again, the host's gavel will ring."

Shen Lingyun urged

Cao Huili.

Just as they spoke, the Doucai Chicken Cup had been asked for fifteen million, such a high price, many people had withdrawn from the bidding, she estimated that if there was no one to compete, it might be 18 million to the top.

Although Cao Huili was talking to Shen Lingyun, she still paid a little attention on the stage.

When he was reminded, he immediately raised the sign in his hand and shouted, "Eighteen million." She added three million at once, and this addition means that it is inevitable.

With Cao Huili's shout, the entire auction hall fell silent.

Many people recognized Cao Huili, thinking of the wealth of the Li family, thinking of Li Sheng's status, and the people who had the heart of this Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup all died down rationally, which can be regarded as selling Li Sheng's face.

"Eighteen million, one time!"

The host Zhong Fang's face was very red and excited, he didn't expect that the first lot could be called for such a high price.

According to the appraiser's prediction, at most 15 million will reach the top.

But because of everyone's enthusiasm to increase the price, the doucai chicken bowl cup is three million higher than expected, as long as you think of the commission you can get, Zhongfang can't control the blood surge.

"Eighteen million, twice!"

Holding the gavel in his hand high, Zhong Fang's gaze swept over the window on the second floor, the first lot, the second floor has not yet raised the sign, he is looking forward to someone holding the sign above.

As long as the second floor holds a sign, this doucai chicken bowl cup should be able to run a few million.

"Eighteen million, three times!." Zhong Fang waited eagerly for a minute, but he didn't hear a sound from the second floor, and he was a little regretful

He raised the gavel in his hand and knocked it down.

"Twenty million."

Just as the gavel was about to strike, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded on the second floor, and what was even more moving was the number in her mouth.

20 million, that is to say, the other party directly added 2 million.

The smile on Cao Huili's face, who originally thought it was a foregone conclusion, froze, and Wang Ruxue's eyes also moved to the second floor.

On the stage, Zhong Fang was also startled by the sudden scream.

His gaze moved to the second floor, where he heard the sound of window seven.

"Twenty-one, one time!" Zhong Fang felt that the voice he shouted had changed his voice, but the excitement made him not care so much.

He was so excited.

It would be his honour to preside over the highest price at the auction, and he certainly wanted the higher the bid, the better.

"Twenty-three million."

Cao Huili's voice sounded flatly, this is the highest price she can offer, if it exceeds this price, she will give up, and now it depends on whether the people upstairs will still bid.

Zhong Fang has been in this business for more than 30 years, and he will provoke the atmosphere the most, and immediately follow Mrs. Li's words and immediately quote a competitive price of 23 million, and his eyes have been staying at the No. 7 window on the second floor.

He's waiting, and so is everyone.

"Twenty-five million."

Sure enough, Window Seven did not disappoint everyone's wait, and the crisp and pleasant voice sounded again.

This time, the other party added two million to Mrs. Li's bid.

Cao Huili was silent and gave up.

Doucai chicken bowl cup is rare, but in her eyes, it is not worth the higher price.

"Twenty-five million, one time."

“…… Quadratic! ”

The passionate voice of Zhongfang resounded throughout the auction room.

"Big sister." Shen Lingyun looked at Cao Huili.

"Don't." Cao Huili smiled magnificently.

"Twenty-eight million." Shen Lingyun did not hesitate to raise the sign in her hand after making it clear that Cao Huili had given up, 20 million was just a drop in the bucket compared to 200 million, and she grabbed it.

It is estimated that everyone did not expect that someone would raise a sign.

Not to mention that everyone in the hall looked sideways at Shen Lingyun, and even on the second floor, many heads stretched out to look at Shen Lingyun.

Some people who know Shen Lingyun think of Huo Fenghua's wealth, and then think of Shen Lingyun's flamboyant and domineering personality, and they all laugh self-righteously when they see Shen Lingyun and Cao Huili sitting so close.

They thought that Shen Lingyun was standing up for Cao Huili.

Also, the person on the second floor is a little bit unparticular about the rules of the auction, and it is normal for Shen Lingyun to be smashed with money.

Zhong Fang was about to faint with happiness, and it was estimated that the 15 million Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup had risen all the way to 28 million, more than double the price, and he was not excited because he was sorry for the money.

"Is there a higher bid, if not, this collection belongs to this lady, and the lady bids twenty-eight million." Zhong Fang's gaze swept over the seventh window on the second floor again.

The window was silent, and there was no more sound.

"Twenty-eight million, one time."

“…… Three times! ”

In the entire auction hall, only Zhong Fang's voice echoed,

After three announcements, the mallet representing the transaction rang hard, which means that this doucai chicken bowl cup belongs to Shen Lingyun.

"Lingyun, you don't actually have to help me, the premium is too much, I gave it up myself."

Cao Huili recovered from the shock of Shen Lingyun's photographing of the collection.

When she came back to her senses, she didn't realize that Shen Lingyun was not trying to help herself, but wanted to.

Shen Lingyun would definitely not break through such a misunderstanding, and explained with a smile: "Sister, if you like it, take it if you like it, don't care about the value, after a while, I will ask the auction house to send the collection to the Li Mansion." ”

Sometimes, polite words must be said.

"Lingyun, a gentleman doesn't win people's love, I know you like this porcelain too, since I gave it up on my own initiative, what you shoot is yours, there is no too politeness between us."

Cao Huili patted Shen Lingyun's arm affectionately.

She really didn't care at all.

is even more happy because Shen Lingyun finally suppressed the competitors on the second floor, in general, Shen Lingyun has maintained face for her, how can she still win people's love.

"Eldest sister, it's okay, if you like it, give it to you, if you're embarrassed, give me the money for the collection." Shen Lingyun knew that on this occasion, he must say polite words beautifully.

Although Cao Huili took the initiative to give up the Doucai Chicken Cup, she offered to compete, which can be regarded as refuting the other party's face.

"I don't want it, it's too expensive."

Cao Huili laughed.

"Lingyun, don't fight with the eldest sister, her family has too many collections, not bad for this one, there is a rule in the auction hall, whoever gives up is really giving up, and others will not be careful when they get it."

Wang Ruxue explained to Shen Lingyun in a whisper on behalf of Cao Huili.

If Shen Lingyun hadn't opened her mouth just now after Cao Huili gave up clearly, the few of them would have made a bid.

After all, everyone likes it.

But the rules are also, whoever gets the picture is whom, and there is no transfer.

"Then ......" Shen Lingyun's big eyes were full of brilliance, "Sisters, then I might as well be respectful, next time you see something, I will definitely not offer a price." ”

"Okay."

Cao Huili and the others looked at Shen Lingyun and smiled kindly.

The longer they get along with Shen Lingyun, the more they feel that each other is cute and polite, which is not at all different from what is rumored by the outside world, but thinking of Qiao Xuelan's vicious stepmother, everyone speculates that Shen Lingyun's bad reputation may also be Qiao Xuelan's handiwork.

Several people whispered to each other, and the auction continued.

In just ten minutes, two more lots were sold on the field, and the auction did not stop with Shen Lingyun's exchange.

Shen Lingyun hasn't made another move since she shot once.

The first is that the later lots do not reach the level of the Doucai Chicken Cup, and the second is that some of them are taken by Wang Ruxue and their eyes.

Since this is the case, she did not ask for any more.

Time passed quickly, and more than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, not only Cao Huili and the others each took a piece of collection, but even Bao Yingyi also took a piece of calligraphy and painting.

The value of these collections has not been able to exceed the sky-high price of the Doucai Chicken Cup.

At half past four, Bao Yingyi suddenly turned his head sideways and whispered to Shen Lingyun and the others: "The auction time is about to come to an end, and the little days upstairs have not yet been shot, it seems that their goal is the finale."

of things. ”

"It seems so."

Wang Ruxue's expression had already become serious (), and her eyes swept over No. 3 on the second floor from time to time◢()◢[()]『Come []& See the latest chapter&Complete chapter』(), No. 5, window.

But because of the distance, she couldn't see the people in these two windows clearly.

Five minutes later, the auction finale was finally on.

And this time, the host has changed, no longer Ji Bohua's Zhongfang, but Caltex's Macaulay and Big Ed's Doyle.

These two are standard Y/M looks.

This time, when the collection came to the stage, it was not as mysterious as when the Doucai Chicken Bowl Cup was on stage, but several tall security personnel carried it to the stage, so that the guests also saw the collection for the first time.

The moment she saw the collection clearly, Shen Lingyun stood up excitedly.

Snake head!

It is the snake head of the 12 zodiac bronze heads lost in the Old Summer Palace of our country!

Even if the bronze head of the zodiac in the 21st century has returned to China seven times, the snake head has never appeared, that is to say, since the snake head disappeared, it has never appeared.

Shen Lingyun didn't expect to see the mysterious snake head today.

As a Chinese, Shen Lingyun clearly knows what kind of patriotic feelings the bronze head of the zodiac contains, no wonder they haven't made a move today, it turns out that they are waiting for the snake head.

"Lingyun."

Cao Huili and the others were shocked by Shen Lingyun's sudden stand-up, and everyone looked over worriedly.

"I'm a little excited."

Shen Lingyun barely squeezed out a smile, and then sat down slowly, but her eyes stayed on the snake's head on the stage.

The two hosts on the stage are already introducing the origin of the snakehead.

With the host's explanation, the whole hall fell silent again, which can be described as silent.

All eyes were fixed on the snake's head.

Under the bright light, the head of the snake made of brass reflects the cold light, and the slender eyes reveal an indescribable mystery, as if staring at the crowd, and as if staring into the void.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I took this snake head."

Shen Lingyun was not polite, and directly expressed his imperativeness.

"Lingyun, if you don't have enough money, we have your back."

Although Wang Ruxue and her family have lived in Xiangjiang for a long time, their families used to be from the mainland, and when they heard the origin of the snake's head, their hearts were also filled with indescribable patriotic feelings.

A river of water cannot block the heart of the Chinese country.

"Count me in." Bao Yingyi expressed his position in a timely manner.

"Thank you." Shen Lingyun didn't know what price the snake head would end up auctioning, and with a few friends guaranteeing it, she was more assured.

On the second floor, the people in the windows of No. 3 and No. 5 were excited because of the appearance of the snake head, and everyone looked greedily at the mysterious snake head on the auction table downstairs, and their eyes were bound to win.

In window seven, Huo Fenghua's expression was very cold.!
