Chapter 307: Scramble
Next, people walked into the auction house one after another, and by three o'clock, the auction hall was almost full.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked onto the auction table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, I am Liang He, the chief auctioneer of Hanhai, I won't say more nonsense, now I announce that today's auction has officially begun!"
"Next, let's ask for the first lot of the day."
As Liang He's words fell, a ceremonial lady in a cheongsam walked up to the auction table with a tray.
"This is the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period of the blue and white glaze red sea dragon pattern moon bottle, according to our expert group identification, this blue and white glaze moon bottle is extremely perfect, is a rare treasure."
"Its starting price is a little expensive, 17 million, and each increase must not be less than 500,000, and the auction will start in a minute."
While Liang He introduced the auction items, the big screen behind him also scrolled to play high-definition photos of the moon bottle.
"Okay, it's a minute, and if you like this moon-holding bottle, you can start bidding."
As Liang He's words fell, a man in the first row raised the sign in his hand.
"Twenty million."
"Collector Nine bid 20 million, is there anything better?"
Liang He asked excitedly.
"Twenty-one million."
Xu Yunteng, who was also in the first row, immediately increased the price by one million.
"Twenty-two million!"
Not to be outdone, Collector Nine said.
"Twenty-three million."
Xu Yunteng did not hesitate at all, and pressed the other party again.
"Mr. Xu, can't you give me this bottle?"
Collector Nine asked.
"I'm sorry, I like this bottle a lot, I can't let it."
Xu Yunteng replied lightly.
"In that case, let's play fair. Twenty-four million. ”
Collector Nine has added another million.
"Twenty-six million."
However, Xu Yunteng was even more ruthless, adding two million in one go.
Originally, there were other rich people who wanted to come in and intervene, but when they saw that Xu Yunteng was obviously determined to get this bottle, they all chose to give up.
However, the 9th participant continued to raise his cards, pushing the price up to 28 million!
Xu Yunteng hesitated slightly, and finally chose to give up.
It's not that he can't afford to bid, the main thing is that the market price of this moon bottle itself is about 26 million, and if he continues to increase the price, it will undoubtedly become a big wrong, and he will naturally not do this kind of thing.
After making sure that no one else had raised the price at the scene, Liang He immediately dropped the hammer and announced the ownership of the moon bottle.
"Grandma's, a vase costs nearly 30 million, and the world of rich people is really different."
Qin Xiaolong couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
"The person who competed with Xu Yunteng just now is called Xiao Wuqing, he is one of the top three richest people in our forest city, with a net worth of nearly 10 billion, and spending 20 million yuan to buy an antique vase is not much different from ordinary people spending a few hundred yuan to buy a bicycle."
"By the way, he also spent 300 million yuan last year to win a Northern Song Dynasty Jun kiln azure glaze wash, which caused a lot of sensation in our Lin City at that time."
Suaf explained with a smile.
As the saying goes, gold in troubled times, collection in prosperous times.
In today's era, many big bosses like to collect antiques, and Xiao Wuqing is one of them.
He has spent at least a billion yuan on antiques over the years, so spending more than 20 million is normal in Su Yafu's opinion.
"This second lot is a sheep's head agate cup, with a starting price of 50,000 yuan, and each increase in price shall not be less than 1,000."
In Liang He's introduction, the second lot was sent to the auction table.
Qin Xiaolong was not surprised that there was such a huge price difference between the first lot and the second lot, after all, the first lot was mainly used to warm up the scene, and those bargains must not be used.
In just three minutes, after dozens of rounds of competition, this sheep's head agate cup was auctioned at a price of 113,000.
Next, one lot after another appeared, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to millions, and none of them failed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this thing to be auctioned below is more special, it is a pill called Blood Spirit Pill, this pill has been tried by our boss personally, according to him, the effect of this pill is comparable to that of an elixir, and it has many benefits for the human body."
As she spoke, Miss Manners brought up the Blood Spirit Pill.
"Lao Liang, can your elixir make people immortal?"
In the second row of the auction seat, a man with a fat head and big ears asked.
"It can't be."
Liang He replied.
"You can't make people immortal, you say a hairy elixir."
The fat man said mockingly.
As soon as he said this, everyone around him immediately burst into laughter.
Liang He has been an auctioneer for more than ten years, and he has encountered similar scenes many times, but he is not embarrassed at all.
"Mr. Zhang, what I just said is comparable to the elixir, and I didn't say that it is a real elixir, if you are interested, take a picture and take it home to try it, if you are not interested, you should watch it lively."
Liang He explained calmly.
"I'm really interested, how much is the starting price?"
The fat man asked again.
"These three blood spirit pills are auctioned in three times, each with a starting price of four million, and each increase in price is not less than ten thousand, and the auction will start in three minutes."
Liang He replied.
"I'm grass, this pill will cost four million for one pill, rob the money!"
The fat man's eyes widened.
"This price is set by the client, and we can't change it, but our boss has already bought one, as for whether it's worth the money, it's a matter of opinion."
"In addition, I would like to remind you that because the blood elixir is a consumable, it cannot be returned after the transaction is completed, and I hope you will be cautious."
Hearing Liang He's words, all the rich people at the scene began to talk about each other.
Although almost all of the people who can come in to participate in the auction are rich people, the price of 4 million pieces is enough to discourage many people.
However, everyone knows very well that Liu Yi, the owner of Hanhai Auction House, is a human spirit, and since he is willing to spend money to buy this elixir, it is obvious that this blood elixir must have a special effect.
Three minutes passed in a flash, and Liang He immediately announced that the Blood Spirit Pill was open for auction.
However, seeing that it had been a minute but no one had made an offer, the scene was a little embarrassing.
Just when Qin Xiaolong thought that the Blood Spirit Pill was going to be auctioned, Xu Yun made a move.
"Five million!"
As soon as Xu Yunteng opened his mouth, he increased the price by one million.
"Five million and ten thousand!"
After Xu Yunteng, another young man participated in the auction.
This man was still in the same row as Qin Xiaolong, but he was sitting on the far left, while Qin Xiaolong was sitting on the far right, and there were eight people between the two.
Xu Yunteng didn't care that someone was robbing him, and quoted six million again, who knew that the other party added another 10,000 yuan.
Xu Yunteng couldn't help but glance back at the man, he was sure that he didn't know this person.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yunteng gave up the price increase.
After all, there were still two Blood Spirit Pills, and it was enough for him to buy one.
In this way, the first Blood Spirit Pill was successfully sold at a price of six hundred and one thousand.
Next is the second one.
Xu Yunteng was the first to quote five million, but what he didn't expect was that the young man in the sixth row only added 10,000 yuan as before, deliberately pressing him, which made Xu Yunteng suddenly feel a sense of being provoked.
