Chapter 453 National Treasure Auction

 Zhang Haiguang's words caused everyone around him to think deeply. They were all brought together by the Five Meridians to oppose the classification of nine cultural relics.

Now it seems that this is not a good thing.

Xu Yicheng didn't interrupt.

Before, he might have thought of uniting everyone's efforts to oppose the classification of cultural relics, but after the Ye Mansion and his party three days ago, he no longer had the face to say that the Five Meridians of Plum Blossoms were incompetent.

In addition, Jiumen is really not easy to mess with, so let’s just let Jiumen do what they want regarding the rating of cultural relics.

If you can't beat it, join.

At this moment, knowing that Jiumen's origins were so extraordinary, he also had the idea of ​​​​working with Jiumen to formulate the classification of cultural relics.

After all, their Wumai are famous in the treasure appraising world. Without their recognition, it would be difficult to promote cultural relic grading in the north.

On the high platform, the auctioneer was wearing a black suit and was bathed in the beam of light.

Suddenly the lights dimmed, and just when everyone thought something was going on, a film showing the first auction item appeared above the auctioneer's head.

A picture of a plain gauze cicada garment from the Western Han Dynasty, with an introductory text next to it: light and exquisite, with uniform and clear holes, and a total weight of only 49 grams. It can be said to be as light as smoke and as thin as cicada wings.

Although in this era there were only black and white film screenings and no sound, this auction model was really novel and caused many people in the audience to exclaim.

In the private room on the second floor, the heads of the nine families also gathered around Ye Bai.

Half Li in the wheelchair said with a smile: "The third master's method is really good. There are too many people in the audience, and there is only one treasure, so I can't show them one by one. This screening method is good, everyone can see it."

Wu Guangyuan was a little nervous and kept staring at the auction activity. The first lot was his Wu family's treasure. If it went wrong, it would be a loss of face.

Along with the flashing film, the auctioneer also said: "The first lot is a hand-woven silkworm garment from the Western Han Dynasty. It is rated by nine categories: a five-star cultural relic. The starting price is 700,000 US dollars. Each increase in price shall not be less than five.

Thousands of dollars!"

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Eight hundred thousand!"

Fiercely competitive bids erupted in the field.

Xu Yicheng and Yao Shenyan frowned. It seemed that Jiumen wanted to draw out the issue of grading cultural relics at the auction.

The bids kept coming, and finally the bid came from a Chinese businessman from Hong Kong, 1.2 million U.S. dollars.

Wu Guangyuan in Box No. 1 looked happy and obedient. This would make more money than simply selling goods to high-end channels.

Wu's stall is small, and US$1.2 million is enough to make a year's profit.

The auctioneer also smiled. The more auctions he made, the higher his share would be.

"The next thing..."

In the first round of cultural relics auction, eight families from all nine families put up an item for auction, all of which were five-star level cultural relics.

Qi Tiezui took out the golden mask from the blood jade coffin that he had received at the Tomb of King Xian, while Ye Bai contributed a half-meter-tall black jade Maitreya Buddha from Heishui City.

The former was sold for 800,000 US dollars, and the latter was sold for 1.5 million US dollars. This was also the most expensive item in the first round of cultural relics.

Nine diluted treasures were released in a row, which aroused the enthusiasm of everyone in the audience.

After a short break, the auctioneer appeared on the stage again: "Everyone, the second round of auction will begin. All five items are national treasures and cultural relics!"

National treasure level cultural relic?

Many people then realized that every previous auction item seemed to have a cultural relic rating.

From one star to five stars, are there national treasures above the stars?

The previous nine five-star cultural relics were already rare treasures. What could this national treasure be?

Everyone showed curiosity. Even if they couldn’t take pictures, it was a worthwhile trip to Changsha to see the national treasure appear.

"The first auction item in the second round is the gold seal of the King of Dian, a symbolic object given to the King of Dian by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the second year of Yuanfeng. The starting price is one million US dollars."

Pictures of the golden seal of the King of Dian and related introductions flashed on the film.

Because the gold seal had been soaked in the coffin and the body for thousands of years, the color was not good, and the surface was pitted and covered with small black spots.

As soon as the gold seal came out, everyone in the audience had different expressions. Some were ignorant and felt that this gold seal of poor quality could be evaluated as a national treasure. There were old professors who studied Dian culture, their eyes were wide open and they were heartbroken.

The tombs of the Dian Kingdom were also attacked by tomb robbers.

Most people couldn't afford the price, and Ye Bai was not surprised. When the auction was about to pass, he saw Xu Yicheng of Wumai said: "One million and a half million US dollars!"

"I really didn't realize that people from Wumai are really rich." Qi Tiezui was a little surprised, then looked at Ye Bai and said, "Third Master, your treasure is going to be auctioned off, why don't you pay a price?"

These five national treasures were produced by Jiumen and Crescent Hotels, but Ye Bai only produced this gold seal of the King of Dian.

But Qi Tiezui could tell that although the third master had a lot of treasures, he didn't want to sell good things above the national treasure level at all. This gold seal would probably return to the third master's hands.

Ye Bai watched the movement outside the field and ignored Qi Tiezui.

At this time, Yao Shenxing grabbed Xu Yicheng and whispered: "Yicheng, isn't this golden seal worth the price?"

Xu Yicheng shook his head slightly, stared at the golden seal of the King of Dian on the film and said: "Although the Dian Kingdom has historical records, there is little evidence to prove its existence. The golden seal of the King of Dian is indeed a national treasure, and the price is not expensive."

Yao Shenxing curled his lips and stopped talking, thinking about how he would collect money for Xu Yicheng later.

Although Wumai is considered wealthy, more than one million US dollars is not something that can be taken out easily.

"First time for $1.05 million!"

The auctioneer was about to strike the second hammer when he heard Ye Bai's voice coming from Box 1 on the second floor: "Two million US dollars!"

The auctioneer looked at his boss's box and no longer boasted about the collection value of the King of Dian's golden seal. The hammer fell much faster in his hand.

......

"Third time, two million US dollars, deal done!"

Xu Yicheng sighed and naturally recognized Ye Bai's voice.

"This Jiumen is really good at playing tricks on people. They put their treasures up for auction, but ended up buying them back for themselves." Yao Shenxing said angrily.

"Maybe he doesn't want to auction this gold seal at all." Xu Yicheng also shook his head.

The screening film changed, and the picture of the second national treasure also appeared in front of everyone.

Many people's expressions brightened.

An emerald, glazed, and jade Buddha!

The Buddha body is carved from a huge piece of pure jade. The jade body wears a gold Buddha crown and gold Buddha clothes.

The half-meter black jade Buddha from Heishui City was also auctioned in the first round, but compared with the jade and glazed golden jade Buddha, it suddenly eclipsed.

This treasure is provided by Crescent Hotel, and it is said that it is a treasure obtained from Thailand.

Starting price: US$1.5 million!

There are many rich people who love Buddha. The price of jade, glazed, gold and jade Buddha has been rising steadily, and finally stopped at three million US dollars.
