Daniel said: "I don't need to tell you more about the twelve zodiac bronze heads. This is a treasure from the Old Summer Palace of China. China was weak at that time, so it caused the loss of national treasures.
Today, China is becoming stronger and richer people are gathering here. If anyone here has the will and the strength, I sincerely hope to see someone welcome this snake head back to China.
Although I am not Chinese, I know this is a treasure that belongs to China."
This woman is indeed a talent and knows how to speak in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm to the greatest extent. After she finished speaking, many wealthy Chinese businessmen present were ready to make a move, obviously wanting to pocket the snake head and send it back to China.
Seeing that his emotions were almost aroused, Daniel said directly: "Now we will start the auction of the snake head. This is the most valuable treasure in our auction today. The starting price is 5 million, and the price will be increased by 1 million each time. Friends who are interested can
here we go."
Normally, the price of a snake head must be much higher than 5 million, but the starting price of an auction item is always lower than the value of the item, and the price will rise all the way after the auction starts.
Some people have even predicted before that this time the snake head will fetch at least 30 million Chinese coins, and may even exceed 50 million.
As soon as Daniel finished speaking, someone shouted: "I will offer 5 million."
The first person to shout out the price was Yi Chenzi sitting in the front row. He had not made a bid until now in the auction, obviously he was waiting for the snake head.
What surprised everyone the most was that after discussing the price, Yichenzi stood up from his seat, turned around and said to everyone behind him: "Everyone, this snake head is what my master likes."
The old guy looked very arrogant. After speaking, he didn't even look at the crowd and sat back down. Apparently he was very sure that no one on Hong Kong Island dared to steal anything from Mei Zhanlong.
The entire audience was stunned. Many people who had been holding back their nerves waiting for the quotation were dumbfounded. Some people even raised their number plates halfway, but after hearing Yichenzi's words, they all put them back.
Just kidding, who dares to offend Master and Disciple Mei Zhanlong in Hong Kong Island? Once you offend the number one person in Hong Kong Island, all you need to do is leave a talisman in your home, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to live in peace in the future. It’s easy to lose all your money.
If it doesn't go well, the family will be ruined.
Qin Haodong's eyes widened fiercely. He also used his power to frighten other people's quotations. How is this different from robbing things?
Generally speaking, this kind of behavior is absolutely prohibited in the auction venue. If anyone else does this, I am afraid they will be beaten by the organizer of the auction immediately.
But it was Yi Chenzi who spoke today, and he just said that this was what Mei Zhanlong wanted. No matter it was the Li family who was in charge of the auction or Sir Owen who took out the auction items, no one wanted to go there because of such a thing.
Offended Master Mei Zhanlong.
So the scene was quiet, Daniel didn't speak, the field didn't speak, and even the representative sent by Sir Owen didn't speak.
A smug sneer appeared at the corner of Yi Chenzi's mouth. The result was what he had expected. No one with an open mind would dare to compete with them for what their master and disciple liked.
Others also think so. Without Yi Chenzi's participation, the snake head will definitely be snatched to pieces, and it will definitely fetch a sky-high price in the end. But it's different now. No one dares to offend for this snake head.
Yi Chenzi. Even Mei Zhanlong behind him.
Daniel secretly shook his head. As an auctioneer, she certainly didn't want to see this result. The higher the price, the more commission she would get. If it was just sold at a low price, she wouldn't get a penny of commission.
arrive.
However, she also knew that the person in front of her was feared by even these wealthy people, and he was definitely not something that she, a small auctioneer, could afford to offend.
Seeing that there was silence all around, she picked up the auction hammer in her hand and shouted: "This snake head has been spotted by Master Yichenzi. Is there anyone else who bids? If not, 5 million once... 5 million twice."
…”
Just when she raised the auction hammer in her hand and was about to raise the hammer to make the final decision, she suddenly heard someone shouting: "I'm offering 6 million!"
Daniel was startled and shook his right hand, almost knocking the hammer on the table. She quickly put the hammer away and looked in the direction of the sound.
Not only her, but everyone in the audience looked at the person who made the bid. They saw a number plate raised high from the front row. It was the young man who had just bid for the butterfly sword with Bao Mingyu.
Qin Haodong saw that Daniel was stupid and didn't react at all, so he smiled at her and said again: "Beautiful Miss Daniel, I offer 6 million."
"Well……"
Daniel came back to his senses, looked at Qin Haodong with a flash of worry in his eyes, and quickly said professionally: "Mr. Qin bids 6 million Huaxia coins, is there anyone who wants to continue bidding?"
She also felt what this offer represented, so she did not exaggerate or encourage it too much. No one could predict what Yichenzi would do next.
Now everyone's eyes are focused on Yichenzi, because Qin Haodong's quotation represents not only a matter of money, but also directly challenges Yichenzi's authority, and even Mei Zhanlong, the number one magician in Hong Kong.
authority.
"Who is this kid? He dares to bid with Master Yichenzi. Doesn't he want to live?"
"I don't know. There must be some origins for being able to sit in the supreme VIP position, but no matter how great his background is, he can't compare with Master Yichenzi..."
"It's true that a rat works as an escort for a cat at the risk of his life. He dares to rob anyone's things. Is Master Yichenzi the second-generation rich man like Bao Yuming? He's dead now..."
"I guess he doesn't know who Master Yichenzi is at all. If he did, I wouldn't dare to give him 100 courages, but even so he is dead..."
People present were talking a lot, and everyone looked at him with regret, excitement, and gloating.
The happiest person is Bao Yuming. Originally, he was thinking about how to deal with this ignorant boy, but now he sees no need to take action. He has offended Master Yichenzi, and this Chinese boy may not know how he died.
A flash of panic flashed across Ye Ye's face, and he hurriedly walked towards Qin Haodong. Qin Haodong seemed to know what he was going to do, and waved his hand directly, indicating that he shouldn't say anything.
"this……"
Qin Haodong was a specially appointed guest of the Li family, and over there was Master Yichenzi. He couldn't afford to offend either party, so he could only stand aside silently, resigning himself to fate.
Yichenzi's face quickly turned cold. He never expected that this young man in his 20s would dare to challenge his prestige.
He looked at Qin Haodong with stern eyes, full of murderous intent. Qin Haodong still had an indifferent smile on his face, as if Yichenzi was not looking at him.
"Boy, do you know who I am? I'm Yichenzi."
Yichenzi finally couldn't help but reveal his identity. In his opinion, the reason why the young man in front of him dared to be so arrogant must be because he didn't know his identity.
But something unexpected happened again. Qin Haodong just smiled faintly and said, "What I photographed was this snake head. Does it have anything to do with who you are? Is it because of your ugly name?
If I give up the bidding, won’t it?”
"Okay, very good!" Yichenzi finally understood. The other party didn't take him seriously at all. He said in a cold voice, "I hope you can take this snake head back."
At this moment, he has made up his mind. He wants this snake head, and he also wants this young man's life. But this is an auction house after all, and he can't do it in public. He has to wait for the auction to end.
Qin Haodong smiled and didn't take Yichenzi's threat to heart at all. He turned to the stage and said, "Miss Daniel, should the auction continue?"
Daniel came back to his senses and continued: "Mr. Qin has already bid 6 million Huaxia coins. Is there anyone who will continue to bid? If not, 6 million once... 6 million twice..."
Everyone present has clearly seen that although Qin Haodong made a bid to buy the snake head, it is still Master Yichenzi's possession after all. In this case, who would be stupid enough to bid for it? Although the snake head is precious
, but in the end it is not as good as your own life.
In this case, Daniel called several times but no one raised the placard. Finally, she put down the auction hammer in her hand, and the snake head belonged to Qin Haodong at a price of 6 million.
This result surprised Qin Haodong. He didn't expect that this old guy would stand up and take advantage of him, and in the end he would get an advantage.
He had just used his mobile phone to check the auction status of animal heads. Recently, an animal head was sold for more than 20 million Chinese coins, but that was almost 10 years ago.
In recent years, the price of Chinese antiques has skyrocketed, and prices have skyrocketed. Not to mention national treasure-level cultural relics such as the bronze heads of the twelve zodiac animals. Let alone 6 million, it would not be surprising even if they were sold for 60 million.
But such a valuable thing, because Yi Chenzi muddied the waters, he bought it at such a low price. It must be said that this was an unexpected surprise.
The auction continued, and when the last lot was brought to the stage, everyone was surprised. It turned out to be a Zen staff used by monks.
This Zen staff is about 1.5 meters high. The color of the metal is very dark, and you can't tell what material it is made of. There are twelve strings of gold rings hanging on the head. It makes a sweet sound when it moves, which seems to be able to shake people's souls.
After seeing this Zen staff, Qin Haodong almost jumped up from his seat. For no other reason than the Buddhist aura on this Zen staff was so strong that it almost reached the level of a divine weapon.
He never dreamed that in addition to the national treasure of the snake head, there would be such a rare Buddhist treasure in today's auction.
From the moment he saw the Zen staff, he made up his mind that he must get this treasure.
