Chapter 135 Chinese Kung Fu VS Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
After being reborn, Wang Lei discovered that his grandfather also loved drinking tea in this life, and his grandfather also had a purple clay pot.
However, my grandfather’s purple clay teapot was bought at a store in Chinatown, and the price was less than 100 US dollars.
Unexpectedly, I saw the purple clay teapot again today. I was surprised that Zhou Yuqiang was actually attracted by it.
Zhou Yuqiang whispered to him: "Lei, take a picture of this purple clay teapot. My grandfather likes this kind of teapot very much. I will take it back and give it to him!"
Oh, Grandpa Zhou also likes purple clay pots?
He is really my grandfather’s junior brother, even his hobbies are the same!
Well, since Grandpa Zhou likes him, he is the grandfather of his future wife and sister-in-law, and he kidnapped both of his granddaughters by himself. I can’t express it, just take a picture of this purple clay pot and honor him!
Wang Lei thought that the purple clay teapot was at most one or two thousand US dollars, but the starting price quoted by Procott scared him.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars!
This is the starting price Procott quoted!
Damn, is this purple clay teapot a fine product made by Gu Jingzhou?
It seems that Gu Jingzhou's current fame has not yet reached the United States?
The purple clay teapot he made was auctioned for tens of millions, and it seems that it was happening after his death?
What made Wang Lei even more stunned was that Procott had just quoted the starting price and someone immediately raised his bid.
"Hundreds of thousands!"
The bid was unexpectedly the younger brother of the Gracey brother, Hawyth Gracey.
Are the Gracey brothers also interested in Chinese purple clay teapots?
What do they spend so much money to buy this thing? Do they buy antiques or make tea?
After looking at the Gracey brothers with a strange look, Wang Lei still raised his bid.
"110,000!"
Zhou Yuqiang made a request to herself for the first time today. She can’t admit defeat.
What's more, with your own net worth, 110,000 US dollars is really not money!
As long as it makes my sister-in-law happy, it will be worth it even if it spends more money!
Zhou Yuqiang obviously didn't expect that the starting price of this purple clay teapot was so high. And there were people competing with her. After looking at the Gracey brothers, she frowned slightly and did not speak to stop Wang Lei.
The Gracey brothers also looked at Wang Lei unexpectedly, and their younger brother continued to raise the bid.
"115,000!"
"Ten Thousand!"
"Twelve-five thousand!"
"130,000!"
"Thirteen thousand five thousand!"
After calling the price again, Rexen, the brother of the Gracey brother, couldn't help but shout to Wang Lei: "Wang, our brothers are determined to win this purple clay pot. How about you give it to us?"
Wang Lei refused: "Sorry, I plan to give this purple clay teapot to an elder, so I can't give in to you!"
But my younger brother Hawys said anxiously: "This purple clay teapot is our grandfather's thing!"
"Oh. How could your grandfather's things be in the hands of Mayor Procott?" Wang Lei didn't believe it at all and continued to bid: "140,000!"
Hawys was speechless first, and then continued to bid in anger: "Two hundred thousand!"
He directly raised the price by 60,000 yuan, and then said to the guests present: "Don't worry, we are not a entrusting or making trouble. We brothers are determined to win this purple clay teapot and can also pay for it!"
"He was telling the truth. And judging by Procott's expression, he obviously didn't understand why the Gracey brothers wanted that purple clay pot!" McKell continued to whisper the information he had obtained from his observation in Wang Lei's ear.
Wang Lei was surprised in his heart, and he couldn't help but be curious about this purple clay teapot. The bidding became fierce: "400,000!"
Hawyth couldn't help but choke when he heard this, and instinctively glanced at his third brother Rexson. Seeing Rexson's expressionless face, he continued to bid: "Five hundred thousand!"
"One million!" Wang Lei doubled the price again.
If he wanted to please Zhou Yuqiang at first, he was really interested in this purple clay teapot.
All the guests present closed their breathing, so quiet that they could even hear the sound of their heartbeats.
These guests obviously did not expect that a charity auction that raised funds for a mental hospital destroyed by a fire actually sold out auctions of millions of dollars.
For a moment, everyone became curious about the purple clay teapot on the stage and speculated whether it was an unknown rare antique.
Hawyth's eyes looked at Wang Lei revealed an angry look, and Rexen's eyes looked at Wang Lei also became cold.
McKell once again reported the information he had observed in Wang Lei's ear: "One million is the limit that their brothers can take. They can only offer a price once at most!"
Sure enough, after hesitating for a long time, Hawys finally bid again under the urge of his third brother Rexon: "One and two million!"
One million and two million, is this the maximum amount that the Gracey brothers can afford?
Yet, although the Gracey brothers were invincible in the MMA field a few years later, winning several World Championships, resulting in the Gracey family being known as the world's number one fighting family, that happened after 1993.
There are four years left before 1993, and the MMA event has not been held. The Gracey brothers have not really become famous yet, so they must not have much money.
Although the Gracie family is in business in Brazil and has opened many Jiu-Jitsu schools, their net worth is definitely not as good as the world boxing champion like Wang Lei, who has a performance fee of up to 20 million US dollars in a boxing match.
So Wang Lei also called out the last price: "One million and three hundred thousand!"
Sure enough, when Wang Lei called out the price, Hoys's face suddenly turned as if he was dead and stopped bidding. Rexen's eyes staring at Wang Lei showed murderous intent, as if he was really angry.
Wang Lei ignored these two brothers and just looked at Procott, who was the auctioneer, waiting for him to make the final decision.
Procott's expression was a little entangled. It was obvious that the confrontation between the Gracey brothers and Wang Lei was also beyond his surprise.
I quietly looked up and down the purple clay teapot on the table for a long time, but I couldn't see what was surprising about the purple clay teapot.
Since it is taken out for auction, it is impossible to regret it and take it back.
Procott had no choice but to ask: "The king bids one million and three million. Is there anyone who bids higher than the king? If not, the purple clay teapot will be the king... three... two... one!"
The hammer in his hand slapped the wooden board, and Procott congratulated Wang Lei: "Congratulations. Wang, this purple clay pot belongs to you!"
Wang Lei took out the check and filled in the amount and signed the name. Then he smiled and handed it to Procott, saying, "Tongxi Tongxi, with this million dollar check, plus the proceeds from the previous auction, Mr. Mayor, you can knock down the mental hospital that was caught in a fire and rebuild it!"
"Haha, thank you for your support!" Procott calmly took the check from Wang Lei's hand.
Wang Lei took the opportunity to take away the purple clay teapot on the table.
I took the purple clay teapot and returned to the original place, and looked at the purple clay teapot over and over again.
As a result, he saw the eight regular script fonts engraved under the pot "Wanli Yiyou, made by Shi Dabin".
My heart thumped, and Wang Lei immediately realized that this purple clay teapot was really an antique.
Wang Lei remembers that when he was encyclopedia of Gu Jingzhou, a former daughter, there seemed to be a passage introducing "Gu Jingzhou is the most accomplished modern pottery artist, and his reputation is comparable to Shi Dabin of the Ming Dynasty."
It means that Shi Dabin of the Ming Dynasty was also a master of pottery. A celebrity who made purple clay teapots was as famous as Gu Jingzhou in the Ming Dynasty.
Shi Dabin was a native of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It has been more than 300 years since then. If this purple clay teapot was made by Shi Dabin himself, its value would be immeasurable, and it might be more expensive than Gu Jingzhou's purple clay teapot.
It was really worth it after taking one million and three million.
No wonder the Gracie Brothers stared at him with murderous intent, and obviously knew the value of this purple clay teapot.
I don’t know how this purple clay teapot ran into Procott’s hands.
"Wang, please wait. I want to challenge you. If you lose, please return this purple clay teapot to us!"
After handing over the purple clay teapot to Zhou Yuqiang who was full of joy, Wang Lei was about to say goodbye to Procott and leave, but suddenly he was blocked by the Gracey brothers.
The one who spoke to challenge him was his younger brother Hawys.
Hawyce Gracie was born in 1966. She is only three years older than Wang Lei, and her height and weight are not much different from Wang Lei. It is suitable for him to challenge Wang Lei.
But Wang Lei would not easily accept other people's challenges, and said with a deep face: "Who do you think you are? If you say you have to challenge me, I have to face it? Can you afford my appearance fee? If you want to challenge me, go and talk to my agent!"
Hawys said: "Don't rush to refuse first. Wang, I am not challenging your boxer identity, but challenging your Chinese Kung Fu. I know that your grandfather Wang Zhengshan is a master of Kung Fu in Chinatown, San Francisco, and you are also the successor of Chinese Kung Fu. And I represent the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu of the Gracey family to bet on the honor of your Chinese Kung Fu. If you reject my challenge, it means that Chinese Kung Fu is afraid of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu!"
Wang Lei was stunned when he heard this.
Ouyang Ming whispered behind him: "Lei, you can't retreat in this situation, otherwise their brothers would spread everywhere that you are afraid of them. Chinese Kung Fu is not as good as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and with so many people testifying, your grandfather will be angry when he goes back. Otherwise, let me fight him on your behalf!"
After saying that, Ouyang Ming crossed Wang Lei and walked to Hawys and said, "Wang is a professional boxer and a boxing champion. He will have to compete with Hearnes in four months. He cannot accept the challenge of the unknown. Otherwise, as soon as this example begins, people will continue to challenge him for various purposes. Who will compensate for his losses at that time? Do you want to challenge Chinese Kung Fu? Then challenge me, I will also be able to do Chinese Kung Fu!"
Hawyth glared and said, "Who are you?"
Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, as long as I know Chinese Kung Fu. You just said that you want to use Brazilian Jiu-jitsu to bet on the honor of our Chinese Kung Fu, so let's fight me unless you are afraid of me!"
"I'll be afraid of you, a joke..."
Before Hawys could finish his words, Rexen saw him crossing him and standing in front of Ouyang Ming.
"You seem to be much older than my brother Hawyce. It's not fair to make you compare with him. Why don't we compete with each other!"
"Okay, it doesn't matter who you brothers are. Even if two of you are together, it's okay!" Ouyang obviously didn't take the Gracey brothers seriously at all.
Wang Lei was shocked.
Rexson Gracie was the "God of Jiu Jitsu" who won 400 wins and had no defeats in the MMA field a few years later. Can Ouyang Ming beat him?
Wang Lei wanted to stop the battle, but suddenly remembered that Ouyang Ming said that Master had studied the Gracey family's Jiu-jitsu and came up with a way to crack it.
Since Master has developed a solution, Ouyang Ming used to go to New York to hang out with Master Master, and maybe he also knows Gracey Jiu-Jitsu, so he may not lose this competition!
Thinking of this, Wang Lei calmed down. (To be continued.)
