She still dressed in the daytime, crazy and wild, and deserved a beating.

She glanced at the Chinese auctioneer on the auction table with contempt, then walked to Cao Yi as if no one was around and sat down.

"you?"

Cao Yi was confused by the sudden arrival of this Japanese samat girl.

"The Master of Honor heard that the Taoist priest came to attend the auction, and was worried that the Taoist priest would not have enough money."

Yoko took out a bank card, with confusion in her eyes.

In her impression, Cao Yi was a Taoist priest who was slightly better than her in terms of skills. I don’t know why the god-like respectful teacher was so kind to please this person.

"No need, but thank you Mr. Ying"

Cao Yi didn't want it.

The starting price of the Purple Dragon King he was going to shoot was 1.6 million US dollars, which was enough to deal with the five million US dollars Rainbow gave before.

Yoko took back the bank card very simply.

"Where is Mark?"

Cao Yi asked.

Mark went to pay the auction deposit, and it was time to come back.

"I asked him to go back"

Yoko answered.

"I guess everyone can't wait, the auction officially begins."

The Chinese auctioneer on the auction table has returned to his previous calm appearance. As a professional auctioneer, the little storm just now is nothing to him.

A staff member with white gloves carefully brought the first auction item today to the auction table.

A cover and water outlet are bronzes in a tiger-shaped shape, placed quietly in a glassware.

"The first item today is a bronze ware from the Western Zhou Dynasty called Tiger Pills, which has a history of three thousand years. There are only seven such "风" utensils in the world, five of which are collected in the museum.

At the same time as the lot was auctioned, the letter to the family by its former owner, Harry Lewis Evans, who told him how Colonel Evans ‘get’ multiple bronze and enamel vases in the Old Summer Palace.

Mr. Alastair Gibson, Chinese art consultant at our auction house, said that the reason why this "tiger horn" is precious is that none of the other "tiger" objects that have appeared is based on the tiger of the "King of All Beasts".

Mr. Xue Haopei, a scholar at the University of Cambridge and historian of Chinese art and culture, said that this kind of bronze ware with tigers can only be used by people with higher status such as emperors, nobles and officials, which represents their social influence and status.

The starting price of this item is $50,000, each time it is $10,000. Maybe you can just bid once and you can collect this item in the 19th century Chinese Palace and a treasure with a history of three thousand years."

The words of the Chinese auctioneer caused a stir in the venue.

Cao Yi heard a few wealthy people from Hong Kong and Taiwan whisper in anger.

Not only did I sell the stolen things to the Chinese for a second robbery, but I also auctioned the robbery process together, which was too arrogant.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, one minute, the entire auction house was silent.

The first lot is cold.

The well-trained Chinese auctioneer's face did not change at all, but his right thumb bent slightly.

"I'll pay 50,000 dollars"

In the first row, an Asian face, a middle-aged man in Japanese speaking, raised the number plate in his hand.

This is undoubtedly the entrusted auction houses that are recruited by the Chinese.

"On the 4th, my friend from Japan offered $50,000. I have traveled to Japan. I can tell you responsibly that Japanese people are the ones who love Chinese culture the most. Many of their architecture, customs, words, and clothing all carry strong Chinese cultural symbols.

If no one bids, the few croaker bronzes in this world will belong to this Japanese friend who loves Chinese culture. The first time, the second time... the third time, the deal."

The Chinese auctioneer's three hammers were settled, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

These Chinese people were not tricked by him.

Cao Yi felt that this Chinese auctioneer had succeeded, and the faces of many Chinese rich people in Hong Kong have changed.

The second item will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers.

"The second lot is now auctioned, the horse's head, one of the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace.

The bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace. It was a red bronze statue from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In 1860, the British and French forces entered China and took them away from the Old Summer Palace.

This horse-headed bronze statue is one of three bronze statues that an American antique dealer accidentally discovered in a private residence in California in 1985.

The starting price of this item is $150,000, and each increase is $10,000. I wonder which Chinese rich man is willing to bring Chinese cultural relics home?"

After the Chinese auctioneer said that, he looked at the place where the wealthy Hong Kong and Taiwan gathered with a smile.

"$160,000"

In the third row, an old man who spoke Mandarin raised the license plate in his hand.

"$170,000"

"$180,000"

"$190,000"

"I'll pay $200,000"

“$210,000

With the first offer, the wealthy people from Hong Kong and Taiwan seemed to be ignited and rushed to quote higher prices.

The smile on the Chinese auctioneer's face became more and more intense. The nails he laid when he was auctioning the first item worked. The rich man from Hong Kong and Taiwan rushed up like a moth that was blowing fire.

"I'll pay $220,000"

“$250,000”

The first bid was that the old man who spoke Mandarin directly added 30,000 yuan.

Everyone didn't say anything anymore. Everyone was not foolish. If they continued to compete like this, foreigners would be the cheapest ones.

"There are even higher bids, once, twice, three times, transactions"

The Chinese auctioneer was very happy when he finished the hammer.

Four years ago, the antique merchant bought three bronze heads, and spent a total of $4,500. In other words, the horse head, which was only $1,500 four years ago, increased by more than 160 times in his hands.

“Now is the third lot…”

Afterwards, Cao Yi was not in the mood to hear it, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. I wonder if he was too tired, but he fell asleep after a while.

After a while, Cao Yi felt someone shaking his shoulders. When he opened his eyes, he saw a staff member wearing white gloves holding a large purple jade covered with a glass cover to the auction table.

Although it was seven or eight meters away, Cao Yi could still feel a familiar force, coming from the inside of the purple jade.

Aura.

It is just earth and yin attributes.

"This is a piece of jade from Myanmar. There are many jewelry and jade merchants present. I don't need to say how good it is. The starting price is 1.6 million US dollars, and each increase of 50,000 US dollars."

There is no room for operation this time, and the Chinese auctioneer is very direct.

"One and six million dollars"

Soon, a jewelry merchant from Hong Kong Island offered the price.

"One,650,000 US dollars"

"One Million Dollars"

...

Immediately, several jewelry and jade merchants joined, and the price of Purple Dragon King rose all the way to 2.9 million US dollars.

"Is there anyone who bid higher? The first time..."

The Chinese auctioneer asked.
