Chapter 375 Sky-High Price

$378, sky-high price

It is well known that Chinese people love porcelain. As expected, after the Yuan blue and white porcelain was auctioned, more and more people began to bid. Finally, after many bids, it was bought by an unknown mysterious rich man for 160 million.

Tang Wen was just watching the show the whole time. Are you kidding me to bid for this thing? I don’t know how many porcelains I have in the Knights Templar. Buying this thing? That’s just boredom.

Of course, Tang Wen did not forget the two "little canaries" around him. They bid for a 3 million brooch and gave it to Jiang Ping, and also bid for a 2 million necklace and gave it to Lin Xin.

After receiving the gifts, the two canaries were very enthusiastic.

As the items were sold one by one, everyone was looking forward to the finale.

"Now is the last item, the painting of Guiguzi going down the mountain during the Warring States Period, starting price: 180 million, each bid must not be less than 5 million."

As several slender models came on stage with a scroll wrapped in silk, the auctioneer excitedly tore off the red silk and introduced it excitedly.

"Picture of Guiguzi going down the mountain, starting price: 180 million."

"200 million"

"230 million"

"300 million"

Tang Wen still underestimated the fascination of these noble families with ancient "scrolls". After just a few bids, the price has doubled. Despite this, many noble families have not yet bid.

"350 million." Sun Hao bid again.

Zhao Xin also wanted to raise the price after hearing this "annoying" voice, and sarcastically said: "380 million"

"400 million" Zhao Xin's voice had not yet fallen, and she had been surpassed by someone. Although she wanted to continue to raise the price, Zhao Xin was not a fool. Did others "partner" to cheat her?

So despite being unhappy in her heart, she still chose to shut up.

"Four hundred and twenty million." The Ye family made a move. It sounded like the current head of the Ye family. Sure enough, when the big boss made a move, all the cats and dogs below shut up.

"Four hundred and twenty million once, twice, three times. Congratulations to the owner of Box No. 3 for successfully bidding for four hundred and twenty million."

"Congratulations, father."

"Congratulations, father"

Ye Tian and Ye Zhiyu next to him also congratulated their father when they saw him bid for the painting he liked.

"Keep watching." The person in the Ye family smiled and said nothing more.

The auctioneer took a sip of water and continued to say to the people below: "Next is our second finale, the sword of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the "Chixiao Sword". The starting price is: three hundred million, and each bid must not be less than ten million."

When watching several models holding a rectangular box on the stage, Tang Wen guessed that it was very likely an ancient weapon or something, and he didn't expect that he was right.

In this time and space, everyone seems to be "fascinated" by ancient weapons. Some big families even think that such ancient weapons can protect the house, so there are usually weapons as the finale at the auction.

Of course, these things are all competition among the families, and ordinary people can't get involved at all.

Lin Xin and Jiang Ping next to them were dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why an ancient weapon could be auctioned for 300 million yuan, and this was the starting price.

But the next scene really made them dumbfounded.

The price was hyped up to 500 million before it stopped. In the end, the people of the Jiang family beat the crowd and won the so-called "Emperor Sword" for 560 million.

Although the other three families were "dissatisfied", they had no choice but to give face to the Jiang family who was so "crazy".

You have to know that the families pay special attention to Feng Shui and "pattern". An emperor's sword represents the pattern of a family. The most important thing is that the Jiang family is still nominally the leader of the four major families, and they must win this face no matter what.

That's why the Jiang family is so "crazy".

"Next is our last finale, and also the most "valuable" item in this auction." The auctioneer said in a long voice, leaving the audience in suspense.

"Now, please invite our last finale, the rare item "Lanting Xu": 600 million, and each bid must not be less than 10 million."

With the auctioneer's heart-wrenching shout, the last finale came on stage.

Everyone was frightened by this sentence. Are you kidding? Lanting Xu is the authentic work of the legendary "calligraphy saint". Even many ancient emperors were "fascinated" by this thing.

"Lanting Xu? Are you kidding?"

"Rare item? Is there anyone who wants to auction this thing?"

"Hurry up, call someone."

Sure enough, when the auctioneer announced the last item, everyone was boiling. Even the eyes of the four major families were burning.

Are you kidding? This thing can be said to be a national treasure among "national treasures".

Many people in the hall have already started calling to notify "calligraphy" enthusiasts. After all, this thing is a rare opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

"It's a waste of natural resources. This kind of thing should be donated to the museum." An old man in the museum said with regret, looking at the booklet on the big screen, his eyes full of fiery looks.

Although Tang Wen knew that this thing was valuable, he didn't expect it to make people so "crazy", but it didn't matter. Anyway, Tang Wen donated it to the organizer of this event just to "brush up his reputation".

As for how much it sold for, it had nothing to do with Tang Wen. Anyway, his goal had been achieved. His "classification" could be raised to a higher level, so why not?

"610 million"

"650 million"

"700 million"

"Seven hundred and fifty million"

"800 million"

The moment the auctioneer announced the bidding, the price skyrocketed and soon reached 800 million. Some people were so frightened by this price that they did not dare to breathe.

At this time, in addition to some large museums, the only people who can still bid are "crazy" collectors from aristocratic families. Ordinary people don't even have the courage to bid.

Even some rich people couldn't help but cursed secretly after hearing this price: "What the hell, how can this be an auction? Is this here to burn money?"

After Ma Mo, a collector in the Kyoto circle, shouted once, he sighed with sweat on his head and said: "This is really not something that ordinary people can afford, forget it."

Sure enough, after many people gave up, people from the four major families began to raise prices.

Ye family: "810 million"

Zhou family: "850 million"

Sun family: "900 million"

Jiang family: "950 million"

The four major aristocratic families directly raised the price to an outrageous price as soon as they made the move. Just when everyone thought that this final product would fall into the hands of the four major aristocratic families again, an old voice sounded.

"billion"

"Fuck"

"What the hell?"

Hearing this voice, even Tang Wen was a little moved. He stood up and wanted to see the bidder.

"Oh? So it's Mr. Xu?"

"It's him."

Many people in the hall suddenly realized after hearing Mr. Xu's voice. After hearing this voice, people from the four major aristocratic families had no intention of bidding.

Just kidding, who is Mr. Xu? He is the number one in the National Museum, and he would never come to an ordinary auction. If he opened his mouth this time, he would have to give him some face.

"Once, twice, or three times a billion, congratulations to Mr. Xu." The auctioneer naturally knew Mr. Xu, so he quickly congratulated him after the sale was completed.
