Chapter 504 The National Treasure Lost from the Old Summer Palace
A few minutes before leaving the venue, Mr. Li took us into the main venue.

In front of the venue is a display stand, with more than 200 chairs placed in the middle, and on both sides are two-storey steps with two rows of tables and telephones on the tables.

Mr. Li led us to sit in the middle seat, and after a while, people came one after another, filling up the hall, and our seat was completely submerged in the crowd, no more eyeballs.

There are no longer all kinds of eyes looking over.

I let out a sigh of relief and looked at the tables on both sides.

At this time, the seats behind the tables were already full of people.

"It's from the outfield." Lu Li also took a look, and said in a low voice: "Some people don't like to show their faces, so they won't show up at the scene. They just bid through these agents. Even if they finally buy something, they will still be anonymous."

I looked at those people, nodded, and understood.

The auction starts promptly at nine o'clock.

This auction is a special session of Chinese cultural relics. After the first auction item came up, I didn't have the heart to look at the people around me.

I looked at the exhibits with relish, and listened to the introduction of the auctioneer above, as well as Lu Li's soft introduction.

Lu Li spoke in a very soft voice, almost whispering close to my ear.

This made Lu Lingguang stare at him from the other side of me several times.

Fortunately, the fifth one, the bronze vessel that Lu Li was fancying, came up.

That was the first bronze vessel, a wine sacrificial vessel.

The starting price is 800 million incense coins.

After the auction host reported the price, no one bid.

Then, when the auctioneer made the third inquiry and was about to fail the auction, Lu Li held up the sign.

No one bid for this wine cup.

Then came the second bronze vessel.

Lu Li still raised his placard during the third inquiry.

This time someone followed the price, Lu Li raised his cards three times, and won at 1000 and [-] million.

Then there are two other relics.

When the third bronze vessel came up, someone bid first, and the three took turns bidding, directly raising the price to 500 million.

Lu Li directly raised the price to 2000 million.

A hammer is fixed.

After putting down the sign, Lu Li turned her head slightly and winked at Lu Lingguang.

Lu Lingguang nodded.

After these three items were taken, there were some other lots in the middle, including the bowl from Mr. Ji.

The starting price is 3000 million.

Lu Li raised the sign at the beginning, and then raised the sign every few million.

There are many followers behind.

Even Lu Lingguang raised his cards twice with a serious expression.

That price is going up.

After 500 million, Lu Li didn't raise the sign again, but said softly to me: "Look to the side."

Following his words, several of the agents on both sides began to raise their placards.

After [-] million passed, everyone in the arena fell silent, except for three agents who kept holding up their cards.

The final transaction price was 5000 million.

When the final decision was made, there was a low cry from the quiet auction site.

It was a sound of excitement after the stimulation.

I couldn't help holding my heart down, and let out a sigh of relief.

Lu Li chuckled lightly, and took my hand clenched into a fist on my lap.

When the next lot was brought out, Lu Li took out his phone from his pocket and took a look.

Then put the screen of the phone in front of my eyes.

It was a text message, one word: thank you.

I looked at the remark that it was a stick, and after thinking about it for a while, I realized that it should be Mr. Ji's remark.

I glanced at him speechlessly.

Lu Li smiled, took back the phone, and gestured to Lu Lingguang who was also looking sideways.

Lu Lingguang nodded with a serious face.

The fourth place behind the bowl, the fourth bronze vessel moved up, this is a tripod.

The starting price is 1000 two million.

The first three items all have a starting price of 800 million...

I unconsciously glanced at Lu Li.

Once the quotations were made, several people bid, and the price rose to 2000 million in a blink of an eye.

During this period, Lu Lingguang glanced at Lu Li several times, but Lu Li remained calm and silent, not even giving any hints.

Lu Lingguang didn't raise his placard.

After 2000 million, the speed of raising cards slowed down, and when the host called 400 million, no one bid.

Seeing that the hammer was about to fall.

Lu Li nodded slightly.

Lu Lingguang raised the sign in his hand.

500 million won the tripod.

A few lots after that tripod, a bronze tripod was sent up, and the starting price was also 1000 and [-] million.

This time, Lu Lingguang raised his placard at the beginning, and then not only those in the arena, but also the agents on both sides also bid one after another.

Prices are straight up.

I looked at Lu Li with some puzzlement.

These six bronze wares belonged to Mr. Ji, and Lu Li told me that the most valuable among them was actually the wine sacrificial vessel, because it was not only used for sacrificial offerings, but also had inscriptions on it, and the second one was his The one that was bought for 2000 million yuan, Lu Lingguang's tripod is in the third place, and the actual value of the last two should not be as strong as the first four.

Especially this one who went straight to the 3000 million tripod!
At the time of 700 million, Lu Lingguang raised his cards again under Lu Li's signal, and the number of people holding up the cards suddenly increased, and then he raised the cards again at 3000 and [-] million under Lu Li's signal. Time to raise a card.

He hadn't put his hand down yet, and there were more than a dozen sign holders in the arena raising their hands at the same time.

The price went straight up to 800 million before it slowed down.

However, no matter how much Lu Lingguang signaled, Lu Li did not express at all.

In the end, the tripod was auctioned off by others at a price of 400 million.

Lu Lingguang glared at Lu Li.

Lu Li cast a sideways glance at him, and raised the corner of her lower lip.

After a few more auction items, the last bronze vessel was brought up.

This is a small square statue.

Compared with ordinary statues, this square statue is smaller, and even smaller than the previous tripod.

When they heard that the starting price was only 500 million, several people in the venue laughed.

This time, Lu Lingguang raised his card at the beginning again, Lu Li glared sideways at him, and stretched out his hand to hold down his hand.

Although we are sitting in the middle, in this kind of auction, apart from raising placards, everyone will not do anything, at most it is just whispering.

Therefore, many people have seen Lu Li's such a big move.

I peeked over and saw that several people who had intended to raise placards showed hesitation on their faces, and those agents who raised placards first were also talking on the phone one after another.

I smiled inwardly.

Lu Lingguang was very obedient and didn't raise any more placards, and the speed of the other placard holders slowed down.

When it reaches 900 million, it will not move.

Then Lu Li blinked, and Lu Lingguang immediately raised the sign.

While holding up the sign, he gave Lu Li a hard look.

Lu Li sighed and covered his face with his hands.

No one bids with Lu Lingguang anymore.

Lu Lingguang won this Fang Zun for 1000 million.

There are two more lots behind Fang Zun, and the entire auction is over.

When the host rang the bell, Mr. Li, who had been sitting on the other side of Lu Li, couldn't help asking, "Mr. Lu, what's so special about these bronze wares?"

"National treasure." Lu Li said with a faint smile, "The national treasure lost from the Old Summer Palace."

After saying that, Lu Li got up and led me outside.

Even Mr. Li ignored him, let alone those who wanted to strike up a conversation.

Lu Lingguang followed closely behind us, and after we left, he let us both get into his car.
