At that time, the country had extremely strict foreign exchange controls, so Liang Chao's team could not have carried too much foreign exchange abroad.

Moreover, they are also conservative in the bidding and valuation of the Ding Fangle.

US$3 million, which was indeed an astronomical figure in China in 2001.

However, this is an auction for antique collectors and top wealthy people around the world.

The Han Fanglu was attracted by many collectors again. With their support, the price rose, with US$3 million, and was soon thrown into dust, unable to see even the shadow.

The bidding quickly exceeded $4 million!

Before, someone paid attention to Liang Chao from time to time, hoping that he would make a high price again, but after he was silent for so long, no one paid attention to him.

Yang Fei still sat firmly in the central army account and did not make a quote.

Others are just as imposing as the other person. Now they hold the signs, but only one more person is participating in the bidding.

The price quickly exceeded $5 million!

This price is much more than twice the starting price!

There is no doubt that the dish has become a hot product in this auction!

Even the Xintiandong family did not expect that this collection could be auctioned for such a high price!

Fu Heng said: "The Chinese who bids very fiercely is from the Baodao area of ​​our country. He is a very famous collector."

Yang Fei said oh, "Where is the other European and American man?"

Fu Heng said: "He is a collector in Europe and an invisible rich man. Some people say that he is rich enough to rival a country. He has one of the most luxurious castle villas in Europe. It has many mechanisms and strict defenses. He collects rare antiques from all over the world, but he is very low-key."

Yang Fei said: "Is that so? You must visit his house if you have the opportunity. Since he has so many treasures, why don't he run a private museum?"

Fu Heng smiled and said, "I'm low-key."

Yang Fei touched his nose and smiled, "Old Fu, are you saying I'm high-profile?"

Fu Heng said: "In fact, whether it is high-profile or low-key, it is just that everyone has a different attitude towards life."

Yang Fei said: "I don't know how many of the collections in that collector's house were lost from our country!"

Fu Heng sighed and said, "I have seen it once. Most of his collections are lost by our country."

Yang Fei frowned slightly.

Fu Heng said: "Also, his ancestors were a commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, you can imagine it."

Yang Fei: “…”

Fu Heng said: "There is a bad gambling man in Europe. He even drinks every day. In the end, he is so poor that he can't afford to drink wine. He is preparing to sell the house left by his ancestors. When he was sorting out the attic, he suddenly found dozens of old boxes on it, filled with thick dust. He opened it and saw that it was amazing. It was full of antiques from ancient Eastern civilizations! It turned out that this guy's ancestors, also members of the Eight-Nation Alliance, robbed a ship of treasures and returned to his country, but he died before he could explain his funeral. Later generations didn't know about this, and lived a poor life with hundreds of millions of antiques for decades."

Yang Fei said: "This is a bit similar to the fact that Luo Yuxi's ancestors have treasures."

Fu Heng said: "Many times, reality is more exciting and more bizarre than the story."

Yang Fei said: "Old Mr. Fu, do you think there is any way to get all these lost antiques back?"

Fu Heng shook his head gently: "It is impossible. Unless the Third World War was launched, we had to win overwhelmingly like Genghis Khan back then!"

Yang Fei smiled and thoughts were heard, and he thought a lot for a moment.

By the time he came to his senses, the bidding had already exceeded the 6 million US dollar mark!

The atmosphere at the auction site was ignited by the magic of money.

The price of bronze ware in auction history has never been too high.

The normal auction market is that a bronze ware from the Warring States Period was sold for only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is about one or two million yuan.

Although the slab square croaker is a heavy tool, it is also a bronze tool, so the experts do not have a high estimate of it.

It is precisely because of this reason that Liang Chao's team only prepared 3 million US dollars, thinking that they would definitely win.

Unexpectedly, at this auction this year, this dish square crest became a dark horse!

The collection industry estimates the value of antiques, first, based on its rareness, second, based on its artistic value, third, age, duration and completeness.

The square crock of the dish only has the body of the instrument, and it is not very popular in the collection industry. So many people have participated in the auction this year, and the prices have been rising all the way, which is indeed beyond the expectations of many people.

Yang Fei was also a little confused.

Although he knew that the Tang Fangfu would definitely be sold at a high price today, even if he arrived at the scene, he still didn't quite understand why the European collector raised the Tang Fangfu so much?

Regarding this question, he raised it to Fu Heng and Wang Yuanzhi, hoping to hear their opinions.

Wang Yuanzhi sneered: "The antique industry is similar to playing with stocks. This year, this year, and that next year. I guess someone wants to hype bronze ware."

Fu Heng also agrees with Wang Yuanzhi's analysis: "Many international speculators hype a certain type of antique every year. If you want to hype this type of antique, you must create momentum. This is Christie's global auction and the largest auction in the antique industry. It is the most beneficial to create momentum here and can also cause the most global sensation."

Wang Yuanzhidao: "You can imagine that after today, the price of bronze ware will definitely rise sharply!"

Yang Fei said: "Is this possible? That European collector has a lot of antiques in bronze, so he deliberately hyped up this type of antique? Even if he spends more money on this square crock today, he can earn it back on other antiques in the future."

Wang Yuanzhidao: "This possibility is not ruled out. The meaning of hype is ultimately for selling!"

Yang Fei thought to himself, it turns out that's true!

In the entire history of bronze auctions, the Christie's auction in 2001 was a watershed.

It is precisely because the price of the Shi Fanglei sold unprecedentedly high prices that it triggered a global bronze craze in the collection industry.

Since then, more and more bronze ware auctions have been auctioned at high prices, setting new highs, from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, constantly refreshing people's perception of the value of bronze ware.

Yang Fei couldn't help but think of the fact that he once hyped Li Yanan's paintings.

Isn’t the international capitalists hyping up bronze ware at this moment?

Fu Heng said: "Boss, it's more than 6 million, you can take action."

Yang Fei nodded and said, "They will fight for a while."

Fu Heng said: "Feeling at their bid, I'm afraid there is still a fight!"

Yang Fei said: "All rich masters!"

Fu Heng said: "That's too high! Such hype, these people want to fuck a big deal!"

When the price reached 6.5 million US dollars, Yang Fei finally raised his sign.

While raising the sign, Yang Fei issued a bid: "8 million US dollars!"

From $6.5 million, it suddenly soared to $8 million!

Wealthy and powerful!

The audience's attention looked at Yang Fei in unison.
Chapter completed!
