Inherit For Three Thousand Years

The Eros Vase was sold at a high price of 850 million yuan, and Xiao Yao looked forward to the price of the discus thrower.

"The following is a bronze statue of Miron's discus thrower. The starting price is 200 million U.S. dollars, and the price increase shall not be less than 100,000 U.S. dollars. Now the auction begins."

Miron’s discus thrower is a world-recognized masterpiece of sculpture, and it is also a work of 450 BC, nearly 2,400 years ago. Such a top art piece of ancient times, whether it is artistic value or historical significance, They are all immeasurable.

The auction of this top art piece of art can be said to have attracted worldwide attention. It can be said to be invaluable. It is possible to auction it at any price.

Even the collections of the top museums are very few that can rival this work.

Top museums such as the Louvre in Paris, the British Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum have all contacted the Yiyun auction house, trying to contact the client to get this work in advance. And they each offered very sincere terms. Although the value of each piece of art used for exchange was not as good as this original discus thrower, the overall value was not low. However, they were all rejected by Wang Xiaoxian. He didn't even get the chance to meet Xiao Yao.

Although the major top museums are very sincere in wanting to win this work, they are doomed to fail at auction. Xiao Yao guessed that this work will eventually fall into the hands of a certain consortium.

Whether it is artistic value or historical and humanistic significance, this work surpasses the Eros vase.

Xiao Yao is very sure that the hammer price of this work should exceed the Eros vase, but it is hard to say how much it can exceed.

After 42 rounds of bidding, the price of the discus thrower has surpassed the Eros Vase. The current price is 852 million. At this time, there are still five competitors.

After a short period of time, after six more rounds of bidding, the price exceeded US$900 million. At this time, only two competitors were left.

Although there are still two people remaining to compete, the attitudes of these two people are very firm, no one wants to give in, and the price has been rising alternately.

After the price surpassed 950 million, Xiao Yao was very excited, thinking that the hammer price was expected to exceed 1 billion US dollars. He did not expect that the member of the Qatar royal family was weak in the future. After the last bid of 980 million, he stopped holding the placard.

This work by Miron was finally snatched by an agent of a consortium at a price of US$982 million.

Although the hammer price did not exceed 1 billion US dollars, which made Xiao Yao somewhat regrettable, the price has exceeded his previous estimate of up to 950 million US dollars, and his mood is still very good.

The four top artworks he sent for auction were all sold at high prices. Among them: "Sunflower" was $191 million, "Savior" was $405 million, Eros' vase was $850 million, and the discus thrower was $982 million. The hammer price of the 4 works of art totaled US$2.428 billion, equivalent to approximately 15.1 billion RMB.

When these four works were in his hands, although he admired them very much and knew that these four works were very precious, they did not feel shocked. Now that the auction is over, he has been exchanged for 15.1 billion yuan, and his calmness is inevitably excited.

What is the concept of 15.1 billion RMB? At the current price of gold, it is equivalent to 60 tons of gold!

If 60 tons of gold are in front of you, anyone will be jealous and heartbeat, or even crazy about it.

When this money is in hand, it will be used to pay the huge sum of money for acquiring Zeng Zhaoquan's shares.

At the end of the auction, the auctioneer announced loudly: "Congratulations, guest No. 243, the discus thrower is yours. In addition, please allow me to announce with the honour of breaking the world's highest auction record for art for the third time at this auction. This is the end of this auction. Thank you all for your support."

Xiao Yao and the three sitting in the corner at the back of the venue were the guests who left the venue the fastest.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he received a call from Wang Xiaoxian: "Mr. Xiao, I have reserved a seat at Ayi Abalone. I will send you a text message later. I may not be there until a little later. Please also Mr. Xiao. Don't worry."

"You can be busy with you, so many guests need you to greet you, don't worry about me, you are the busiest one today, I will not leave for a short time, and some have time to eat." Xiao Yao pushed away.

"Today's auction was very successful. Mr. Xiao is the biggest contributor. All the other guests are not as important as Mr. Xiao you alone. Wouldn't I be foolish to leave the real Buddha without worshiping and worship the mud bodhisattva?" Wang Xiaoxian's attitude is very persistent, "In short, I will rush over as soon as possible. Today, on this occasion, I must celebrate with Mr. Xiao."

"Well, if you can get away, then I have no objection. It just so happens that there are two friends I met at the filming. I think you must know each other. When there are more people, you can have a little more fun." Since Wang Xiaoxian insisted, Xiao Haruka agreed.

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Yao said to Zheng Xiaowu and Zhang Donggao: "I was planning to treat, but Wang Xiaoxian, the owner of Yiyun Auction House, insisted on taking this opportunity. He has already reserved a seat at Ah Yi Abalone. He is relatively busy and may be late. In a while, let's go first."

"President Wang is coming over. He is today's host. With so many people wanting to greet him, can he get out?" Zheng Xiaowu was a little surprised.

"I said to keep him busy with himself, no need to come over, he insisted on coming, let's go to Ah Yi Abalone and wait for him for a while. Today he is fame and fortune, and he should be slaughtered severely." Xiao Yao is very Said casually.

Zhang Donggao took a serious look at Xiao Yao, "President Wang left so many guests alone, he must come and accompany you. Later, the relationship between the two of you was very good!"

"President Wang likes to make friends. He has always been so enthusiastic. The relationship between the two of us is indeed pretty good."

The three of Xiao Yao had nothing to do, and they rushed to Ah Yi Abalone first.

Chinese people always pay attention to food, and the culture of food is included in the millennium history of civilization. In the Chinese banquet, abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber, and bird's nest are top grades. These four famous products have already demonstrated a whole set of cooking methods in the hands of famous chefs in history.

On the other hand, the Ayi Abalone Restaurant of Hong Kong Island Felicity Group has made great progress on the basis of traditional cooking and created a unique seafood cooking method, especially the special Ayi abalone dish, which is a must-have and has been recognized by international cuisine. The industry recognizes that the national cuisine is the best, and thus enjoys a high reputation.

Throughout the ages, the delicacies of mountains and seafood have been regarded as the treasures on the table, and the abalone is especially the top quality of the seafood.

One of the reasons why abalone is expensive is that the production of abalone is small, the producing area is very sophisticated, and the drying process after going out to sea is complicated, time-consuming and laborious.
