Chapter 486 Fanatical Cold Weapon
******
The starting price of Mo Xiejian, the go-getter, is 30 million! The price increase is one million!
The starting price was not high, and none of the people present exclaimed.
Although the era of iron horse Jinge using cold weapons is long gone, today, swords, swords, swords and halberds that have been baptized by blood and fire have become the top art collections on the desks of the rich.
In 2006, during the spring auction at Christie's in Hong Kong, a Qing Qianlong imperial gold peach skin sheath "Tianzi No. 17" Proton waist knife was sold for 46.04 million Hong Kong dollars, creating the highest price at the auction of antique swords in the world at that time. It is said that the buyer was Beijing. A well-known real estate agent.
This Proton waist knife is the only Qianlong imperial waist knife that can be found in the market so far. Emperor Qianlong ordered a total of 90 knives in three groups of heaven, earth and human. It took 47 years to complete the production. Most are hidden in the Palace Museums in Beijing or Taipei.
But the knife's auction record was held for only one year, when a gilded sword used by Napoleon sold for 4.81 million euros (nearly 3 times the reserve price) at an art auction in France in June 2007. 50 million yuan), breaking the world auction record for cold weapons.
Now, the Qianlong imperial waist knife is estimated at 60 million euros at an auction in Germany.
This amazing price once again shows that the collection value of swords is not only in the climax of the craftsmanship and the sharpness of the blade, but also in the wonderfulness of the "story" formed with the maker and user.
For sword collectors and enthusiasts, collecting swords is not only about their quality, but also obsessed with the violent and elegant strange realm carried by swords, melting murderousness and taste, power and wealth into a furnace.
Compared with Qianlong's Baoteng waist knife and Napoleon's gold-plated sword, these two highly mythical and legendary generals, Mo Xie, are even more rare and expensive.
They are simply a fantasy of sword collectors.
Luo Yingjin made up his mind that even if he expended everything he had, he would shoot down those two swords.
There were also several sword collectors present, also holding the same mentality.
Yang Zimei looked at Huo Wenhua, her biggest competitor.
Huo Wenhua saw through what she was thinking, and waved his finger at her not far away, indicating that he had no intention of auctioning off Mo Xie.
First of all, he is not a fan of swords, and he has no fanatical hobby in this area.
Secondly, he is a person who attaches great importance to Feng Shui superstition, and he absolutely avoids things with a tragic color and a strong evil spirit, such as Mo Xie.
Seeing that Huo Wenhua, the biggest tycoon, had no intention of participating in the shooting, she felt a little relieved.
She turned her face and asked Xuehu, "Do you have enough money to take them?"
"Don't worry, if the diamond pearl agate is not enough, I still have those precious medicinal materials. I believe that many people present will be more interested in the precious medicinal materials that can prolong life than the sword or money." Xuehu said calmly. .
Indeed, for the rich and powerful, nothing is more precious than life.
As long as Xuehu finds out his thousand-year-old ginseng or something, it will definitely be more eye-catching than the go-getter Mo Xie.
Luo Yingjin started bidding for 35 million.
Yang Zimei was too lazy to bid for the time being, she had to wait for the last blow.
After waiting until the bidding reached 100 million, which was beyond the unbearable price, Yang Zimei raised his placard and called for "150 million!"
As soon as this price came out, the people behind started to riot!
For the go-getter Mo Xie, although this price is not sky-high, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Luo Yingjin's pupils turned red, gritted his teeth and continued to bid for 180 million.
He didn't really take over the family business, and he had to reach out to his father for the money he wanted, which was already the best he could bid.
In the bidding, in addition to Yang Zimei, there were also two businessmen with deep pockets.
