Chapter 135 Malicious bidding
The auction officially begins.

It started with Wang Zha. The first cultural relic to be pushed up was a sculpture by Michelangelo, one of the three masters of the Renaissance.

The sculpture looks unremarkable, a Hellenistic figure with only a head, curly hair and a similarly curly beard.

Once launched, it immediately caused a sensation in the venue.

The rich people widened their eyes and leaned forward, trying to see more clearly.

Michelangelo is one of the most famous sculptors in European history. There are many world-famous works, such as "Our Lady Lamenting Christ" and "David".
Although this sculpture is not as famous as the above works, the name of Michelangelo alone is enough to make it valuable.

The fact is indeed the case. The starting price of this sculpture alone is 1000 million pounds, and the rich people ask for the price one after another.

"100 million!"

"1000 two million!"

"500 million!"

In the end, the sculpture was bought by a potbellied middle-aged man at a price of 3000 to [-] million pounds.

This middle-aged man spent so much money, but he still looked happy.

It was also the first time for the netizens in the live broadcast room to watch such an advanced auction from the first perspective, and they were all shocked.

"Damn it, tens of millions, or pounds, is this the world of the rich?"

"Sure enough, the sorrows and joys of people are not connected, I just think they are noisy (dog head)."

"It's beyond my comprehension to spend more than 3000 million pounds just to buy such a stone."

"What do you know? It's Michelangelo's work. If I had that much money, I'd buy it too."

The auction is still going on. Compared with Michelangelo's sculptures, the next few cultural relics are relatively ordinary, and they are all sold for prices ranging from several million.

During this period, some cultural relics from other countries also appeared.

For example, it is said that it was the pharaoh's scepter at the beginning, but it was finally bought by a big-eyed Egyptian beauty.

In addition, there is also an oil painting of Van Gogh, but it is not well-known.

Although no one has heard of it, the painting was indeed made by Van Gogh. As a fanatic of Van Gogh, Spencer bought the painting without hesitation.

After several rounds of auctions, several staff members pushed a nearly two-meter-high glass frame onto the stage. Inside the frame hung a lot of yellowed rice paper with flamboyant calligraphy on it.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Han and the others regained their spirits immediately and sat up straight.

The beautiful auctioneer stood beside the glass frame with a smile on her face: "The one next to me is the original work of Tang Bohu, a famous literati in the Ming Dynasty of Longguo - "Poetry on Falling Flowers".

Tang Bohu was the head of the four great talents at that time, he was talented and knowledgeable, he knew everything about poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting, he was proficient in everything, and he had a very high status in the history of the Dragon Kingdom."

The auctioneer gave a lot of eloquent introductions, and finally said what Qin Chunzhi was most concerned about.

"The starting price for this pair of Poems of Falling Flowers is £1000 million!"

Hearing this, Qin Chunzhi was slightly relieved.

Fortunately, the price is not too high, lower than he expected.

In fact, Tang Bohu is an ancient man of the Dragon Kingdom after all, and his authentic work is a treasure to the people of the Dragon Kingdom, but most of the rich people present are Europeans, so they are not too impressed.

"How about Mr. Jiang Han, is it genuine?" Qin Chunzhi asked Jiang Han.

Jiang Han nodded: "No mistake, it's true."

Hearing this, Qin Chunzhi's expression suddenly became agitated, and he held up the sign and shouted: "One thousand and one million!"

"150 million!" a foreigner shouted.

Qin Chunzhi said again: "1000 two million!"

After a while, another foreigner raised his hand: "1000, 20 million!"

Seeing this, Qin Chunzhi felt ruthless, and shouted directly: "500 million!"

The scene suddenly fell silent, and no one made a sound for a long time.

This price has exceeded the limit accepted by this group of rich people.

They were not short of money, and the collection of cultural relics was purely out of hobby. To them, this "Luo Hua Ci" was obviously not worth the price.

The auctioneer saw no bids and started counting down.

"500 million once, 500 million twice, 500 million three times."

The gavel in her hand had been raised high, and she was about to smash it down when a voice interrupted him.

"Wait, I'll offer 510 million!"

Everyone present was startled and looked towards the source of the sound.

Qin Chunzhi and the others looked ugly, and turned their heads to look behind them. Owen was holding a sign high, and he was the one who called out the bid just now.

Noticing the gazes of Jiang Han and others, Owen looked at them with a provocative expression.

"600 million!" Qin Chunzhi shouted with a livid face.

"610 million!" Irving raised his sign again.

Qin Chunzhi: "700 million!"

Owen: "Seventeen million and one hundred thousand!"

Seeing the two confronting each other, everyone in the venue could see that Owen was deliberately disgusting people, and he was [-] higher than Qin Chunzhi every time.

In fact, Owen did not have a clear goal when he came to participate in the auction this time.

The meaning of the curator is to let him figure it out, see a good cultural relic worth collecting, make an appropriate bid, and take it if the price is right.

This pair of "Falling Flower Poems" is dispensable to him, and unless the price is very low, there is a high probability that he will not buy it under normal circumstances.

But after seeing Qin Chunzhi's bid, and thinking of how miserable he was at the Spencer Villa, he immediately had the urge to revenge, so he made a malicious bid with Qin Chunzhi.

In his opinion, Qin Chunzhi must have come this time for "The Poetry of Falling Flowers", and he must be determined to win it.

Even if the other party really gave up and the cultural relic was bought by him, the curator would not say anything, at most he would reprimand him because the price was too high.

The bidding of the two is getting higher and higher, and it is approaching to break through 2000 million.

The other tycoons watched the show, but none of them bid.

One represents the Dragon Kingdom, and the other represents the British Museum, neither of which they can mess with.

"Twenty-six and a half million!"

After Qin Chunzhi shouted out the price, Owen hesitated for a while, but finally did not raise the sign in his hand.

However, his goal had already been achieved, and the price of "Falling Flower Poetry" was abruptly raised by him from 700 million to 500 million.

Thinking of Qin Chunzhi spending nearly 1000 million wrongly, his heart was full of power and the pleasure of revenge.

Seeing the auctioneer drop the hammer, Qin Chunzhi and the others had gloomy expressions.

Owen's rat shit didn't make them happy at all.

In the live broadcast room, netizens were outraged.

"Mad, this Owen is disgusting!"

"I happen to be in London, so I'm going to block the door of Sotheby's now. The auction is over, and I will kill him alone."

"I'm also in London, brothers count me in!"

The auctioneer was grinning from ear to ear. The transaction price of this pair of "Falling Flower Poems" far exceeded expectations, and she was able to get more dividends. It was a surprise.

"The cultural relic below also comes from the Dragon Kingdom."

As her voice sounded, the staff pushed up a glass booth again.

Inside the booth is a smooth porcelain bowl with white bubble-like patterns all over the body and a blue-black background, which looks very dreamy.

The auctioneer continued to introduce: "This is the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl, which was handed down from the Dragon Kingdom in the Southern Song Dynasty, and was once handed down to Xiaori Kingdom.

The Chinese called it "the universe in the bowl", and it was sought after by the local princes and nobles as a treasure, and was later collected by the general Tokugawa Ieyasu.

This Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl can be said to be the pinnacle of Song Dynasty black glaze. After the identification of our auction house appraiser, it is indeed genuine. The starting price is 1000 million! "

After the auctioneer finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion from the audience.

It can be seen that many rich people are a little bit excited about this tea bowl.

In the live broadcast room, there were also barrages flying across the screen.

"Fuck, this bowl is too dreamy, 'Universe in a Bowl', let alone, it really looks like it."

"This is an orphan product of the Southern Song Dynasty, you have to take it no matter what!"

"Such a precious cultural relic must never be left overseas again!"

"Don't worry, I don't know if it's true yet, let's wait for Brother Jiang to speak."

"How about Mr. Jiang, is this Yaochang Tianmu tea bowl real?"

Qin Chunzhi asked Jiang Han, and Jiang Mengguo and others also looked at Jiang Han with nervous expressions.

From the moment the glass table was pushed up, Jiang Han's eyes never left the tea bowl.

As for whether this Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl is genuine, I already have the answer in my heart.

Just as Jiang Han was about to speak, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Owen not far away. He was looking like a villain, and an evil thought suddenly popped up in his heart.

Hey, let you be proud, there will be a time when you cry.

　Gone today.
