Inherit For Three Thousand Years

After more than 20 rounds of bidding, the first lot was snatched by a rich man on Hong Kong Island. The hammer price was converted into RMB 78 million.

According to Xiao Yao's estimation, the hammer price of this Guanyin statue should be between 60 million and 65 million, and finally reached 78 million, which only shows that the atmosphere of the on-site bidding is too hot.

This is what Xiao Yao would like to see. At the beginning, there was such a hot bidding atmosphere. When the 4 lots he sent for auction started to be auctioned, the competition would be more intense.

The 60-year-old elder sitting on Xiao Yao's right side said to himself: "These rich Hong Kong islanders are really rich. They spend 10 or 20 million more and don't care at all."

The old man noticed that Xiao Yao was looking at him, his eyes scanned the golden number plate placed in front of him, and took the initiative to say with an authentic Beijing movie: "You guy is quite young, are you also from Hong Kong Island?"

"You're misunderstood, I'm from the Mainland just like you." In front of the old man, although it is a white number plate, the old man has a very refined temperament and makes people feel very kind.

"It turns out that it's your own person. You are holding a golden number plate. How can you do it later?" The old man still couldn't help asking.

The golden number plate is not something ordinary people can get. Holders of golden number plates are basically strong competitors for the last 4 finale lots. They need to pay a deposit of US$20 million to qualify for the golden number plates.

"Which one of the people sitting in the front row is not a world-class rich man? It is too stressful to sit in the front row. I'm so young, it's better to sit in the back low-key."

Then Xiao Yao glanced at the middle-aged man on the left, and said, "Look at this gentleman, he is also holding the golden number plate, so I'm not sitting behind."

The slightly fat middle-aged man on the left was a little bored. Hearing Xiao Yao and the old man’s words, he said with great interest: “I also feel that sitting in the front is too stressful, so I hid behind. It seems that it’s not me. If a person has this kind of thought, we are quite destined. My name is Zheng Xiaowu, and I am a coal boss. I don't know what the two are called?"

"The old man is older, you say first." Xiao Yaoqian gave way.

"My name is Zhang Donggao, and I work in the Palace Museum. I am from Kyoto." The old man also introduced it very simply.

Xiao Yao also learned from the two, and briefly introduced: "My name is Xiao Yao, I am from Hanzhou and I run a restaurant."

Zhang Donggao smiled and said: "You two, a coal boss and a restaurant owner, can both get a golden number plate. It seems that both the coal digger and the restaurant owner are very profitable. I, the cultural relics dealer, can’t be with you. In comparison, I want any lot, I like it, but I can’t afford it.”

"These people at the scene today are not simple. The old gentleman is gentle, he is a learned man at first glance. I am a big coal digger. I admire the learned man the most. You are not an ordinary appraiser at the first glance. You won't be the dean of the Palace Museum, are you?" Zheng Xiaowu deliberately guessed high.

"I'm not like you two who are still hiding, for fear of being robbed after going out. I am not the dean, but the deputy dean. I came here to open my eyes." It is certainly not the one who can hold the golden number plate. Ordinary people, Zhang Donggao did not hide his identity.

Zheng Xiaowu repeatedly said: "I am disrespectful and disrespectful. Although I am a big boss, I usually like to collect. Dean Zhang's name is very familiar to me. It is a great honor to be able to meet on this occasion today."

The three of them were not very interested in these lots in the opening auction. They only paid attention to them occasionally. Sitting in the corner of the three people did not affect anyone, and they communicated in whispers from time to time.

"Dean Zhang, why did you get the white number plate? Isn't the Palace Museum interested in the 4 pieces that will be auctioned at the finale?" Xiao Yao asked.

Not everyone is eligible to raise the placards for the next four lots, and only VIPs with golden number plates can bid.

"How can I not be interested? I can't wait to **** all those 4 top art works." Zhang Donggao explained, "These 4 top art works are too precious. I am afraid that each one will be sold at a sky-high price. Important auction opportunities must be handed over to professionals to raise prices. I have a bad heart, so I still don’t participate."

"Dean Zhang, you are an expert. How much do you think Van Gogh's "Sunflower" and Da Vinci's "Savior" can be photographed?" Zheng Xiaowu asked sincerely.

"Today's situation is quite special, and I am not too good to say. I think Van Gogh's "Sunflower" should not be less than 100 million US dollars, and Da Vinci's "Savior" is even more impressive. The price must be 300 million. Above the US dollar, as for the final transaction price, it depends on the atmosphere of the scene." Many experts have analyzed in advance, and Zhang Donggao has nothing to hide on this point.

Zheng Xiaowu frowned and said: "The smell of gunpowder at the scene is very strong. Today's transaction prices are a bit high. I like "Sunflower" and "Savior" very much. I want to get it. I have to get at least one. I don't know if there is a chance?"

"Whether there is a chance depends on your determination. With so many world-class rich and powerful people participating in the competition, the top art is unavailable. Whoever likes it more can grab it." Xiao Yao pointed to the essence of the problem.

"Da Vinci's "Savior" is even more famous, but I personally prefer Van Gogh's "Sunflower". I set a price limit of 150 million U.S. dollars in advance. I don't know if I can grab it?" Zheng Xiaowu was a bit unsure. confidence.

"It's not easy to say." These words of Zheng Xiaowu made Zhang Donggao feel more pressure. "Analyzed from various professional perspectives, the price of Van Gogh's "Sunflower" should be between 120 million U.S. dollars and 150 million U.S. dollars. In time, although your price is on the high side, it is within the normal range. However, "Sunflower" is so famous that it is worth the money for those who really like it."

After Zhang Donggao's analysis, the pressure in Zheng Xiaowu's heart was even greater, and only Xiao Yao was secretly happy.

The auction of the first 16 lots was finally over, and the auctioneer announced emotionally: “The next auction is for Van Gogh’s Sunflower. The starting price is 50 million U.S. dollars (for readability, set It is US dollars, which does not conform to the actual situation. Please do not verify.), the minimum price increase shall not be less than 100,000 US dollars each time.

Xiao Yao and others immediately stopped talking, and focused their attention on the next auction.

The competition for "Sunflower" was really fierce, with an endless stream of placards, and the price soon broke through 100 million U.S. dollars.
