The richest man starts from the treasure hunt in the container

Chapter 432 You... mean and shameless!
Half an hour later, the auction will start again.

Mike came up and said:
"The next item to be auctioned is from my old friend Joe. He is an avid collector. It is a miracle to be able to get the collection out of his hands!"

A 50-year-old white man sitting on the sofa raised his hand and responded to Mike's words with a smile.

This white man has a bit of the so-called aristocratic temperament in the West. He should have been a handsome guy when he was young.

Although he is almost 50 years old now, he still looks like a handsome uncle, not greasy at all.

If it is released, it will be no problem to fascinate a bunch of little girls who like the uncle.

"What Joe brought out this time is a very precious collection - a large blue and white jar from China: Three Great Britain vs. Lu Bu!"

Many people participating in the shooting here have seen this thing from the catalogue, so when Mike said this, the audience immediately became lively.

The two bunny girls walked over carefully carrying the big Yuan blue and white pot, and put it on the table.

The large tank is about fifty centimeters high, twenty centimeters in diameter, and thirty to forty centimeters at its widest point.

The whole body of the big pot is painted with tangled lotus patterns, and the front is a picture of Sanying fighting Lu Bu.It looks very elegant at that time.

Zhu Yu glanced at it, and found that it was indeed porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, and the appearance was very good, without any cracks or bumps, it was very complete.

"Joe, I know that you received this piece of porcelain from a collector at a great price. You have been hiding it since you took it, and you didn't even want to share it with others. Why would you take it out now auction?"

Mike didn't look like an auctioneer at the moment, but rather a gossip guy, inquiring about Joe's thoughts with great interest.

Joe spread his hands and said:
"Because of the problem of the old man with urinary incontinence, my last investment failed..."

His words immediately aroused everyone's laughter.

Like Mike speaking, Joe also mocked the incumbent first-this point was deeply empathized by others.

"Then it's not surprising. That person has done more stupid things than the five most stupid presidents in the history of the beautiful country combined—so you are short of money, so you want to sell this little treasure?"

"It's not small at all!" retorted Jo, "and I didn't sell him for want of money, but I thought it was the best time for it.

I think that after a while, the popularity of Yuan Qinghua may pass, so it is best to make a move now.

As you know, I am not only a collector, but also an investor in cultural relics.I need to spend money to buy cultural relics. Now I just want to earn back the original investment and earn back the money for the next investment. "

"Then can you tell me how much you paid for this Yuan blue and white piece?" Mike felt like breaking the casserole and asking the bottom line.

However, Zhu Yu quite likes this style of auction, at least it is not so rigid, he even thinks that Qiankun Auction House can use this style, there will definitely be differences.

"Mike, even if we're friends, you shouldn't tear down my desk—if I tell you the original price, do you think they'll buy it at my current price?"

There was a sort of outrage in Joe's voice when he said this.

But Mike laughed and said:
"Actually, you can understand it this way. This just shows the success of your investment! Maybe because Huaxia is becoming stronger and stronger, these cultural relics representing the highest craftsmanship of Huaxia porcelain will be more valuable in the future?"

Joe rubbed his chin, thoughtfully:
"Perhaps you're right—I paid twenty-seven million dollars for this jug."

"Joe, you are so greedy!" Mike laughed, with a sense of pride after he succeeded in doing something bad, "You actually want to sell him for twice the price-but I still wish you what you want-well, the auction start!"

"Fifty-one million dollars!"

It's Yang Xiong again.

But this time everyone is not so surprised by Yang Xiong's bid.After the last auction, some of them felt that Yang Xiong was just teasing, and they were not so persistent about the auction items, and even had a feeling of grandstanding.

So his price was quickly surpassed by others:
"Fifty three million!"

"Fifty three million!"

"Fifty three million!"

……

After the Yuan blue and white large pot was auctioned for a high price of over [-] million yuan for the first time, there were very few low prices in subsequent auctions.

The price has already gone up, and in the future, neither the holder nor the potential customer wants the price to drop.

Moreover, only China could fire such a large porcelain in ancient times, and the shape and appearance of such a large and perfect porcelain are rare in the world.

So even though Qiao has already said that he thinks that the price of Yuan blue and white porcelain is now at its peak, there are still people actively bidding for it.

Joe was also very happy watching the price soar all the way.

This is his most successful investment in recent years.

Mike leaned in front of the auction stage, just listening to the lively bidding of these people there, he didn't participate, just watched.

Soon, he discovered that in the entire auction house, except for Joe, there was another person who did not participate in the auction.

That is Zhu Yu.

Should not be!

Even Yang Xiong, who had some speculative behavior before, participated in the fierce bidding for this large blue and white pot from the Yuan Dynasty, but this Zhu Yu did not bid once.

And in that state, it didn't look like he was waiting until the end to bid - he seemed to be watching a show.

No thought of participating in it at all.

Is he not interested in this?

But this is a very representative thing in the history of Chinese civilization!
After many Chinese wealthy people have money, they will do everything possible to buy Chinese cultural relics and send them back to China.

As far as he knew, this Zhu Yu had also done similar things.

But why doesn't he speak now?
Not only Mike was staring at Zhu Yu, but even Yang Xiong was staring at Zhu Yu.

He originally guessed that Zhu Yu would bid for this big Yuan blue and white pot, and then he raised the price fiercely to let him know what an old man is!
It's just that Zhu Yu didn't participate in the auction from the beginning to the end, which made him very depressed.

However, he himself had a good impression of this big Yuan blue and white pot, so he kept bidding when the price was raised to 100 million.

But now there are not many people following.

Now this price has exceeded the bottom line of many people.In their opinion, although the Yuan blue and white pot has appreciation value, it is much worse than Monet's paintings.

In the end, the Yuan blue and white jar was sold by a white man with a slightly dark complexion at a price of 350 million.

Yang Xiong gave up when he reached 200 million—he felt that his money was not so easy to come by now, and when he gave up, there were still two people fighting. He thought it would be [-] million, so he didn’t continue.

He didn't expect it to end at more than 300 million, which made him very regretful--if he knew it, he would have persisted!

He finally withdrew his claws, which also made many people think that this person came here to fight the fire, but in fact he did not have real perseverance-the two ends of the first mouse, and they cannot be handed over.

"Okay, this big pot of blue and white yuan is now Mr. Johnson's. After the auction is over, Mr. Johnson, you can take this treasure away."

That Jason was very happy. He could hardly take his eyes off the big pot that the bunny girl brought over. He probably really liked it.

"Okay, here's a very unique item, to some it's nothing, to some it's sacred - it's a gold from the Dead Sea Bible!

After identification, this Bible came from around 100 AD, and its value can be imagined! "

Before Mike finished speaking, some people below were already discussing loudly!

Obviously, some people were very excited, and they seemed to have great determination to take down this golden bible.

Mike originally wanted to tease a few words, but after seeing the reactions of these people, he knew it was not good to say anything, so he started filming directly:
"The starting price is 800 million US dollars, and the bidding starts now!"

"Twenty-five million dollars!"

The first person to speak directly raised the price by almost two-thirds!
"$3000 million!"

"Thirty-eight million dollars!"

……

Zhu Yu looked a little dumbfounded!

This bidding is a bit crazy!
However, he soon discovered that there were only four people participating in the bidding, and the others were all on the sidelines.

These four people don't bid very frequently. Each person adds once, slowly, and then it is possible to stop bidding. The main reason is that after the addition, the price changes too fast to keep up.

So when the price reached 800 million, it stopped.

Everyone knows that the Golden Bible, in the eyes of some people, is considered a priceless treasure.

But in the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary gold item, at most it will last longer.

In the end, the golden Bible was auctioned off by a fanatical religious figure at a price of 800 million.

Seeing the way the man looked at the golden Bible in front of him, Zhu Yu had no doubts that he might fall asleep with the Bible in his arms or worship it every day when no one was around.

Next, the bunny girl brought up a bronze vessel.

Zhu Yu's eyes widened all of a sudden, and then he relaxed again.

It's finally here!
Tiger cannibal!

More than 30 centimeters high, it looks like it came out of an old pit, the patina is very thick, the surface is smooth, and there is no rust like that coming out of a raw pit.

Mike glanced at Zhu Yu, then at Yang Xiong, and then introduced:
"The thing that will be auctioned next is also provided by Joe. It is an ancient Chinese bronze, which should be more than 3000 years ago."

Joe again?
Zhu Yu glanced at that Qiao, it seems that this person has a lot of collections!
Do you want to communicate with him in the future and see if you can get some good things from him?

"The image of this bronze ware is a tiger with a person under its mouth. There are many explanations for this image, but I won't introduce it here.

I just want to tell everyone that there are two pieces of this bronze ware in the world, one in Japan and one in France.What is before you now is the third one! "

Zhu Yu opened his eyes and found that this thing is really genuine!

It is indeed a bronze ware from the middle and late Shang Dynasty, not broken or repaired.

Although there is a lot of rust, it is not heavy.

It is a national treasure!
What's more, it has an inscription on the bottom!
Although Zhu Yu couldn't recognize the special oracle bone inscriptions, he could confirm them!

Six words, not many, but enough to make Zhu Yu secretly excited again!

Mike didn't know about this text, or he didn't care.He just told others that there are only three of these things in the world.

Zhu Yu knew what he meant, and it might also be what Qiao meant.

How precious it is!
"Joe, I want to know, why don't you keep collecting such precious things?"

"It's not within my aesthetic range." Joe shook his head, "So I think it's better to recommend it to someone who is destined!"

Zhu Yu thought, that's me!

"Okay, because bronzes are relatively unpopular collectors, the starting price of this world-class treasure is 1000 million US dollars - the auction starts now!"

"Fourteen million dollars!"

It's Yang Xiong again!

Zhu Yu looked at Yang Xiong, and he found that this man was smiling meaningfully at him!

Damn, he found out!
It can be seen that this is planning to compete with myself!
Yang Xiong had been observing Zhu Yu before.

When Zhu Yu appeared at the Tiger Eater, his originally calm expression changed.

So he was sure that Zhu Yu must participate in the auction of this bronze ware!
Then let's fight for it!

In Yang Xiong's view, no matter how rich Zhu Yu is, he can't compare to his deep background, right?
But his asking price, in the eyes of others, is equivalent to the existence of a shit stick!
After all, he was the first to make an offer the previous few times, and he made such a big splash, but in the end he didn't bid anything!

Such an existence may serve as a support for the auction, but it is extremely unfriendly to the bidders.

Zhu Yu no longer looks at Yang Xiong, he thinks this is just a clown at the moment.

"Five million." Zhu Yu raised his hand.

After a brief silence, someone followed immediately:

"600 million!"

"700 million!"

"750 million!"

……

Bidding prices have been rising, modestly but persistently.

After all, there are only three pieces left in the world, which is a great temptation for anyone.

But after all, it is a bronze ware, and not many people know about it.

So when Zhu Yu reported the price to 400 million for the fourth time, there were only two followers left.

For one Yang Xiong, the price will only increase by 50 each time.

The other is a white guy who has never been photographed, about 30 years old, with a stern face and aggressive eyes.

"Twenty-six million." Today, only one painting was auctioned for 600 million US dollars. Zhu Yu is now considered to be rich and powerful, so he directly added 200 million without any hesitation.

Yang Xiong continued to follow:

"Twenty-one million and two million."

The white man hesitated for a moment, and also chose to talk to:
"Twenty-six and a half million!"

"3000 million!" Zhu Yu didn't bother with these people, so he added it to 3000 million.

The white man took a look at Zhu Yu and gave up immediately:

"You are ruthless! It seems that the Chinese people have really become rich over the years!"

"It has nothing to do with you!" Zhu Yu replied indifferently.

Yang Xiong did not hesitate at all:

"50 million!"

It really turned into sticky candy!

Zhu Yu frowned, this one is a little bit on the nose!
"Thirty-one million!"

He looked at Yang Xiong.

Is he still following?
