Daniel continued: "Everyone must know that today is Sir Owen's special auction, and all the items are provided by Sir Owen.
Friends who often attend auctions should be able to know that these four words Sir Owen are golden signs. As long as the auction items provided by Sir Owen are absolutely genuine.
You don’t have to worry about the authenticity of the lot, you only need to consider whether you like it and whether you can accept the final auction price.
Sir Owen has provided a total of 20 auction items today, and now the auction officially begins."
Daniel waved his hand to the side as he spoke, and a hostess walked up to the front desk carrying a tray.
"Today's first auction is an ancient Chinese porcelain, a brush washer from the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. Legend has it that it was used by the great beauty Li Shishi..."
She is also very proficient in ancient Chinese culture. After giving a detailed introduction to this brush washer, she announced: "The starting price of this Southern Song Dynasty brush washer is 600,000 Chinese coins, and the price will be increased by 100,000 each time. The bidding starts now.
Friends who are interested should hurry up!”
The porcelain of the Song Dynasty is still very well-known in the antique world. Especially if the word "official kiln" is added, the value will double.
"I will pay 800,000..."
"I will pay 1 million..."
"1.5 million..."
The value of this pen washer skyrocketed, and it was finally acquired by a Hong Kong businessman for 8 million Chinese dollars.
The auction continues, and most of the items offered by Sir Owen this time are cultural relics unearthed from China, including Yuan blue and white porcelain, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, any item is worth a lot of money.
Daniel is indeed very capable. Under her guidance, the atmosphere at the auction site was very active. Every item was sold successfully, and none of the items failed to sell.
Qin Haodong sat there, but never raised the bidding number in his hand. He was not interested in these antiques at all.
Yichenzi also sat quietly next to him, not even raising a sign once, as if he was waiting for something.
Bao Yuming, who was sitting behind them, held up the signs several times and successfully photographed an ancient painting.
He glanced at Qin Haodong from time to time, wanting to wait for him to raise the price and step on him so that Nalan Wushuang could take a good look at him. The pretty boy she liked would only be stepped on in front of him.
share.
At this moment, another auction item was put on the auction stage, and Daniel uncovered the top of it, which turned out to be a very beautiful ancient sword.
"Dear friends, this is an ancient sword produced in China. According to the appraisal given by our experts, it should have come from the Ming Dynasty four to five hundred years ago.
I really admire the ancient Chinese civilization, which was able to make this sword so beautiful at that time."
Daniel said as he lifted up the ancient sword in the tray. The scabbard of the sword was red and inlaid with many gems of various colors. The hilt was made in the shape of a butterfly. It looked like a sword for women.
.
Daniel continued to introduce: "This sword is called the Butterfly Sword. Although it has experienced hundreds of years of wind and frost, it is still extremely sharp. You can take a look. This is definitely a rare ancient sword."
As she spoke, she pulled the sword out of its scabbard. Under the light of the venue, the sword flashed a cold light and did not look rusty at all.
"Everyone is optimistic, this is one of the best ancient swords in China, and it is definitely the best collection. The bidding starts now, with a starting price of 1.2 million, and each increase is 100,000."
Daniel said as he started bidding on the butterfly sword.
"I will pay 1.5 million..."
"I will pay 1.8 million..."
Apparently many people were interested in this sword, and they all raised their numbers and started bidding.
Qin Haodong has taken a thorough look at this butterfly sword. This sword is indeed an ancient sword from hundreds of years ago. Although the quality is not very good, it is beautiful and suitable for women to use.
Knowing that Nalan Wushuang still didn't have a handy weapon, he turned around and said, "How do you like it? If you like it, I'll take a photo of it and give it to you."
Nalan Wushuang said: "I like everything you give me, and this sword does look very beautiful."
"Okay, I'll take a photo of it for you first, and then change it if I find something suitable."
At this time, the bidding had reached 3 million. Qin Haodong raised the number plate in his hand and shouted: "I will offer 4 million."
For an ancient sword, the price of 3 million is already very high. He suddenly raised the price by 1 million. The venue suddenly became quiet, and no one raised a placard to bid.
At the same time, more and more people noticed the young man sitting in the front row and wondered where he came from.
Daniel glanced at Qin Haodong in the front row. Just as men like beauties, beauties also like handsome guys. She showed a bright smile to Qin Haodong and said: "This gentleman has offered 4 million Huaxia coins. Do you want to participate again?"
The bidding is 4 million per time..."
Seeing Qin Haodong finally raising his placard to bid, Bao Mingyu was delighted. He had not participated in the bidding for this ancient sword before, but when Qin Haodong raised his placard, he was going to step on Qin Haodong's feet.
Moreover, Qin Haodong has not participated in the bidding of any items for such a long time, and now he suddenly raised a sign, which shows that Nalan Wushuang likes this sword very much. As long as he buys it, he can make the beauty happy and maybe get further development.
Chance.
The moment Daniel raised the hammer in his hand, he raised the number plate in his hand and said, "I offer 5 million!"
Since he wanted to show off, of course he couldn't be weak in terms of momentum, and the price couldn't be raised less than Qin Haodong's, so he also raised the price by as much as 1 million.
At this time, this guy was competing with him. How could Qin Haodong not know what he was thinking? He raised the number plate in his hand and shouted: "6 million..."
"7 million..."
Bao Mingyu followed closely behind.
"10 million..."
Qin Haodong shouted a price that shocked everyone. He didn't care about money anyway, all the money was for the Li family's consumption.
Bao Mingyu hesitated for a moment. He didn't expect that this pretty boy's bidding style would be so fierce, and he raised another 3 million yuan.
But there is no turning back. Now everyone is watching him bidding with a pretty boy. If he quits right now, where will Mr. Bao's face go?
So he gritted his teeth and continued shouting: "15 million..."
This price has far exceeded the price of this ancient sword. Qin Haodong looked at Bao Mingyu and smiled. This guy's head is really big. Since he is willing to pretend to be big, let him be bigger.
He raised his number plate and shouted: "20 million..."
Now he has given up on the idea of having this ancient sword. No matter who spends 20 million, buying such a beautiful ancient sword will still make people laugh when he takes it out.
Although he had given up in his heart, he didn't mind raising the price of the sword to help the venue earn more commissions and help Sir Owen earn more money.
"this……"
This time Bao Mingyu was a little hesitant and did not directly raise the number plate in his hand to bid.
He originally thought that the maximum cost of photographing this ancient sword would be 10 million Chinese coins to scare Qin Haodong away.
Now the price has far exceeded his expectations. If you spend more than 20 million to pretend to be cool, the price is indeed a bit high.
This is what Daniel said on the stage. As a white-glove salesman and a gold medal auctioneer, he is certainly familiar with the psychology of various people. After several rounds of bidding between the two of them, he had already understood Bao Mingyu's thoughts.
"20 million Huaxia coins, this handsome Mr. Qin actually offered 20 million Huaxia coins. As the saying goes, a thousand dollars buys a beautiful woman. I must have bought this sword for the beautiful lady next to me. Mr. Qin's arrogance and loyalty
I really admire the lady’s generosity.”
Daniel's words were not directed at Bao Mingyu at all, but this is where her skill lies. They were obviously praising Qin Haodong, but they hurt Bao Mingyu's heart. He suddenly raised the number plate in his hand,
He shouted: "I will offer 30 million..."
Qin Haodong turned around and glanced at him jokingly, with a look that was no different from looking at an idiot, and then put his number plate on the table.
He has seen that 30 million is this guy's bottom line. If he raises the price, he will be the big one.
Daniel smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Bao bid 30 million, is there any other gentleman who continues to bid? 30 million once, 30 million twice..."
After asking twice in a row, she hit the table in front of her with the hammer in her hand, "Congratulations, Mr. Bao, this beautiful ancient sword is yours."
"I……"
The bidding was successful, but there was no expression of joy on Bao Mingyu's face. 30 million was almost enough to invest in a small-production movie. It was indeed too much to spend so much money just to show off.
He had shouted out on impulse just now, but now he calmed down, his heart was bleeding. But the money had already been spent, so he couldn't say anything, so he turned to look at Nalan Wushuang.
After spending so much money, the beauty should be impressed by him, right? But Nalan Wushuang was not even interested in looking back at him. He still looked at Qin Haodong affectionately. Although he did not take a picture of the butterfly sword, his expression
But there was no dissatisfaction at all.
"My day..."
He cursed fiercely in his heart, feeling extremely aggrieved.
No matter how depressed he felt, the auction continued, and Daniel on the stage began to introduce the next collection.
"Everyone, the following collection is the highlight of today's auction. I believe many people are here for it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a national treasure of the country.
Maybe some friends have already guessed that he is our precious cultural relic of China, the snake head among the twelve zodiac signs."
After Daniel finished speaking in a seductive voice, the audience was agitated. Indeed, many people came to participate in the auction for the twelve zodiac bronze heads.
At this time, two hostesses brought a tray covered with red cloth to the auction stage. When they opened the red cloth, they found a bronze statue of a snake head with a bronze halo.
