Fu Heng laughed in a low voice and said, "The cost of this knife during the Qianlong period was as high as 800,000 taels of silver. To this day, it is 160 million."

Yang Fei said: "Is this possible? Even if he is the emperor, he spends so much money just to build a knife? Isn't this amazing?"

"He is the emperor, a real nobleman in the world! And this 800,000 is included in the decorations on the knife, gold, gems, etc., plus the wages of the best craftsmen at that time."

"Since it's worth so much, why is the starting price only $500,000?"

"Hehe, so, boss, just take a photo and I guarantee you won't lose money. In their eyes, the value of this knife lies in what Qianlong used, and I don't know what the real value of this knife is."

"Old Fu, it's true that you are the Taishan Beidou in the antique world, but what you can see is, can't others see it?"

Fu Heng smiled and said, "Boss, don't believe me?"

Yang Fei smiled and said, "Of course I believe you, but you have to tell me a reason, right? Look, the price is still rising."

Fu Heng said: "After you take a photo, I will tell you where the most valuable part of this sword is!"

Yang Fei said: "So, what price is the highest price?"

Fu Heng said: "You can take pictures of anything less than 30 million."

Yang Fei was shocked.

Just a sword from the Qing Dynasty, so valuable?

There are so many people here that Yang Fei didn't ask too much. With his trust in Fu Heng, he believed that he would not be aimless, nor would he deliberately let himself lose money. Since he said that, this sword must be outstanding.

So, Yang Fei bid again.

The price quickly climbed to $1.5 million.

There was only one middle-aged man left on the field and still bidding with Yang Fei.

The middle-aged man looked like he was in his fifties. Judging from his appearance, he should be an islander, with a distinctive and unique look.

Yang Fei thought to himself, the people of the island have always been smart. Could it be that this person, like Fu Heng, has seen through the secret of this Qianlong sword, so he is willing to raise the bidding?

The two of them had a stalemate and rose in succession.

Luo Yuxi asked quietly: "Mr. Yang, do you really like this knife? It will be $2 million soon! I will use it as a knife used by Qianlong, but it is also a knife from the Qing Dynasty, which is not worth the price."

Yang Fei smiled and said, "Miss Luo, do you know antiques very well?"

Luo Yuxi said: "I have learned a little bit of fur when I run the antique business at home."

"Where is your antique shop open?"

"If you are interested in it abroad, I can accompany you to see it. I just want to give you some advice."

"Okay, I will definitely go to visit and study when I have time."

While chatting with her, he raised a sign and quoted without delaying it.

After the price exceeded $2 million, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Although this sword is exquisite, it is two million US dollars, which is equivalent to 16 million RMB. How many other antiques are there to buy?

The collection of weapons such as swords and swords is relatively unpopular and niche, and is far less popular than porcelain and calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, a Qing Dynasty knife sold at such a high price immediately made people look at it sideways.

Someone who was familiar with Yang Fei said loudly on the spot: "Yang Fei is the richest man in the mainland! He has money! I once attended an auction with him, and he would definitely buy whatever he likes! This is a master who doesn't care about money!"

He immediately sneered sarcastically: "Rich people are most likely to be suckers! Are you not afraid that someone will deliberately raise the price and kill his pig?"

When Chen Mo heard other people's comments, he said to Yang Fei: "Don't you stop? If you continue to compete like this, I don't know if you will have to carry it to tens of millions."

Yang Fei said: "I know what I know."

Chen Mo won't persuade him much.

When Yang Fei raised his hand again and bid for $2.1 million, the islander finally gave up.

The auctioneer lost his voice and announced that Yang Fei had bid for a waist knife that Qianlong used for US$2.1 million.

Yang Fei said to Fu Heng: "I took the knife and it costs a lot of money. Mr. Fu, can you tell me the beauty of this knife now?"

Fu Heng smiled and said, "Did you see the handle of this knife? There are more than a dozen sapphires inlaid."

"Well, these gems are not worth so much money."

"There is a gem under these sapphires."

"Under the sapphire, isn't it a hilt?"

"The lower end of the knife handle is actually carved from a whole piece of diamond, but most people take it for granted that this is a knife handle made of ordinary jade."

"Ah? Diamond?" Yang Fei said in surprise, "Is this possible?"

Fu Heng said: "Diamonds were just exquisite toys in that era and could not be regarded as hard currency. In people's eyes, diamonds were not as valuable as gold and silver. Therefore, craftsmen hid diamonds under sapphires."

Yang Fei said: "How did you know?"

Fu Heng said: "When I checked the historical materials of this knife, I happened to find the records at that time. The handle of this knife was made of diamond materials, and this huge diamond was tributed by Fanbians."

Yang Fei smiled and said, "The entire handle is carved and inlaid with diamonds?"

Fu Heng said: "It may be. But at least some of it is! You can know the result by checking it at that time."

Yang Fei said: "If it is a diamond, how much is this knife worth?"

Fu Heng said: "A diamond of such a big one is hard to come by. The value of diamonds alone is more than what you bid just now."

Yang Fei laughed: "Thank you Mr. Fu, for giving me a lot of money."

Fu Heng said: "You collect antiques not to resell them. If you make money or not, you have to sell them to count."

Yang Fei said: "But I'm in a good mood! I spent a very little money, but I bought twice the treasure!"

The next auction item is Tang Bohu's "Five Legends of the Wild Stream".

The name of this painting is very powerful, but the real thing is not as grand as Yang Fei imagined.

The painting is only the size of a four-piece rice paper, with a landscape on it and five big tigers. Influenced by the painting, the tiger's momentum is naturally not so powerful.

However, the paintings are very vivid and vivid.

The arrangement of the five tigers is also very different and powerful.

By the stream on the mountain, two tigers were drinking water, one tiger looked up and two tigers were hiding behind the trees and stones in the distance, and only half of their body was drawn.

Yang Fei asked Fu Heng: "How is this painting?"

Fu Heng said: "No matter what the painting is like, with that legendary story, the collection value of this painting is very high."

Yang Fei nodded and said no more.

This is an object that Luo Yuxi must take, so she was particularly careful.

While bidding, Luo Yuxi paid attention to other bidders on the field.

What satisfied her was that Yang Fei really didn't raise his hand to bid.

If Yang Fei does not participate, he will lose a strong enemy.

However, there are many people participating in the bidding field.

Tang Bohu's paintings are very valuable, and they are basically priceless. Collectors rarely take out their own collections for auction.

Yang Fei remembers that Tang Bohu's most expensive painting was "Lushan Waterfall Viewing Picture", which was sold for $590 million in later generations, or a sky-high price of RMB 3.6 billion, which caused a sensation at that time.
