Chapter 301 Snake Head (Fourth Update)
When the hostess said the word national treasure, everyone gasped.

No wonder the previous auction did not promote this antique, it turned out to be a cultural relic of the national treasure level.

If it was publicized before, the state would come forward to ban it, and the public would definitely respond.

At that time, I am afraid that the auction will not be held.

At the same time, everyone was also very curious as to what the national treasure was at today's auction.

Now that the hostess has mentioned the national treasure, everyone's interest has been raised.

She doesn't plan to continue to play tricks on everyone, otherwise she may turn things against her and make everyone disgusted, which will not be good for the next auction.

"This is the last auction item."

With a soft drink from the hostess, she took off the red cloth covering the auction item.

When the red cloth was lifted, everyone saw the true face of this national treasure.

It's a copper snake head, and it looks like it's been around for a while.

The shape of the snake head is realistic, the color of the copper is deep, the inside is polished, the surface is not rusted, and it looks very exquisite.

Although the hostess had said before, the last auction item was a national treasure.

But when everyone saw the copper snake head, everyone was still shocked.

In the room where Ji Yang was, several people were looking at the copper snake head through the single-sided glass of the room.

"Could this be the snake head in the bronze statue of the animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs?"

Quan Chang's voice was excited, and he said in disbelief.

When the others heard the bronze statue of the animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs, their expressions changed.

Mu Hong even yelled out in shock.

"The bronze statues of the animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals you are talking about are the bronze statues of the animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals in the Yuanmingyuan that were robbed and lost overseas after the British and French allied forces burned the Old Summer Palace?"

"I'm not sure now, but I've read some information, and this is probably the snake head in the Chinese zodiac."

Quan Chang nodded and said with a solemn expression.

The bronze statue of the animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals in the Yuanmingyuan was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall in the Yuanmingyuan. It was a red bronze statue during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the British and French allied forces burned the Old Summer Palace, and the bronze statues of animal heads began to be lost overseas.

So far, seven of the twelve beast heads have returned to China.

The whereabouts of most of the others are unknown, and this snake head is the one whose whereabouts are unknown. I didn't expect it to appear here.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as Quan Chang, and the hostess quickly gave the answer.

"The final auction item is the snake head among the bronze animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs in Yuanmingyuan."

"The starting price is 1000 million, and the minimum bid for each bid is 100 million. There is no upper limit, and the auction begins."

For the previous auction item, as soon as the hostess said the auction would start, someone would immediately start bidding.

But this time the situation was completely different, when the voice of the hostess began to fall.

People around looked at it with strange expressions, but no one dared to bid.

If it is replaced by other national treasure-level auction items, there will definitely be bids at this time.

But the bronze snake head is not only precious in itself, it is also a historical proof, with extraordinary significance.

The national cultural relics department has been looking for the head portrait of the twelve zodiac animals. If I take it back today.

It is estimated that trouble will come to the door before there is time to get over it.

"Boom, Mahler Gobi actually auctioned off the snake's head. Isn't that a slap in the face of Huaxia? He's willing to die for the money, right?"

Ji Yang slapped the marble table in front of him angrily, and with his palm, the marble table was cracked.

If the organizer of the auction stood in front of Ji Yang, Ji Yang would definitely slap him to death.

"Ji Shao, it's useless for you to be angry. Most of the people who participated in the auction today are from the black market or have black backgrounds."

"In their hearts, only the interests come first, and now they have not directly opened their bids, even if they still have some conscience."

Every line has its own rules, even if Ji Yang finds it unpleasant, he can only endure it for now.

Although Ji Yang has some skills, he has not reached the level where he can change the rules.

Ji Yang was unwilling, but Quan Chang's words made sense.

"I want to see who dares to participate in the auction today, and whoever gets the snake's head in the end will be considered unlucky."

Ji Yang watched the auction with fierce eyes, he was waiting for the participants to start bidding on the snake head.

Facing the snake head, it is not that no one is tempted, but many people are tempted.

It's just that they had concerns in their hearts, so they didn't speak.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the first bird is shot.

These people are waiting for someone to speak first.

As long as someone speaks, the bidding for the snake head will be fierce.

While everyone was waiting, someone finally spoke first.

The first bidder came from a room on the second floor.

"I offer 100 million."

A slightly old voice sounded from the room.

The value of this copper snake head is not comparable to that of the Qilin Peneng auctioned by Ji Yang, at least in the eyes of ordinary people.

This copper snake head is of high historical value, cultural value, and face-to-face value such as collection.

Under the temptation of huge profits, no one cares whether the bidder is from the second floor or what his identity is.

They only know that danger and benefit coexist, as long as they get the snake's head in their hands.

It doesn't matter whether the country will make trouble for itself or the masses will make trouble for themselves, they only know that they will make a lot of money.

"200 million."

"500 million."

"2000."

"3000 million..."

The sound of bidding continued, and the price of the auction also soared.

From the initial 100 million, 100 million plus, to the next 500 million, 1000 million plus.

"For Mahler Gobi, I bid [-] million. I'll see who will raise the price."

In a room on the second floor, there was a loud and rough roar.

It is not the first time that the bronze animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs have appeared on the auction site.

According to the previous price comparison, the price of [-] million is already the highest.

There were many rich people among the people present, but they took out [-] million yuan to buy the snake head, even if they bought it back, it would not be a big deal.

Maybe, you will lose money directly.

This deal is not worthwhile, so no one continues to bid.

However, just when everyone thought that no one would continue to bid.

In the room where the bid was first made, the old voice sounded again.

"One hundred and ten million."

Another 1000 million was added, what the hell is this?

Buying this snake head for 1000 million yuan will definitely lose money. This time, even the person who shouted [-] million yuan did not compete with the other party.

With the end of the snake head auction, today's auction also ended.

"Young Master Ji, where are you going? You don't have to pick up your Hetian mutton unicorn pendant yourself, someone will bring it to you."

As soon as the auction ended, Wang Ji saw that Ji Yang was about to leave the room with a gloomy expression.

"Just take the Qilin Pei back for me, I still have things to do."

After Ji Yang finished speaking, he walked out of the room directly.

What Ji Yang has to do is to win the treasure.
