Chapter 432 You... are despicable!

Half an hour later, the auction started again.

Mike came up and said:

"The next items to be auctioned are from my old friend Joe. He is an avid collector. It is a miracle that we can take out the collection from him!"

A white man about fifty years old sitting on the sofa raised his hand and responded to Mike's words with a smile.

This white man has a bit of the so-called aristocratic temperament in the West. He should have been a handsome guy when he was young.

Although he is almost fifty years old now, he still looks like a handsome man, not greasy at all.

If he is released, it will be no problem to charm a bunch of little girls who like the uncle.

"What Qiao brought out this time was a very precious collection - a large Yuan blue and white jar from China: Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu!"

Many people participating in the shooting had seen this thing in the catalog, so when Mike said this, the audience immediately became excited.

The two bunny girls carefully carried the large Yuan blue and white jar over and placed it on the table.

The large jar is about fifty centimeters high, twenty centimeters in diameter, and about thirty or forty centimeters wide at its widest point.

The whole body of the large jar is painted with a lotus pattern, and on the front is a scene of the Three Heroes fighting Lu Bu. It looks very elegant from that time.

Zhu Yu glanced at it and found that it was indeed porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty, and it was in very good condition, with no cracks or bumps, and it was very complete.

"Qiao, I know that you spent a lot of money to receive this piece of porcelain from a collector. You have been hiding it since you took it, and you are not even willing to share it with others. Why are you taking it out now?

auction?"

Mike didn't look like an auctioneer at the moment, but like a gossip man, prying into Joe's thoughts with great interest.

Qiao spread his hands and said:

"Because of the problem of the old man with urinary incontinence, my last investment failed..."

His words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Like Mike, Joe also first mocked the current leader - a point shared by others.

"It's not surprising then. That man has done more stupid things than the five stupidest presidents in the history of the United States combined - so you are short of money and want to sell this little treasure?"

"It's not small at all!" Joe retorted, "I sold it not because I had no money, but because I felt that now was the time when its price was at its highest.

I think after some time, the popularity of Yuan Qinghua may pass, so it is best to start now.

As you know, I am not only a collector, but also an investor in cultural relics. I need to spend money to buy cultural relics, and now I just want to earn back the original investment and earn back the money for the next investment."

"Then can you tell me how much you paid for this piece of Yuanqinghua?" Mike felt like breaking a casserole and asking the truth.

However, Zhu Yu quite liked this auction style, at least it was not so rigid. He even felt that Qiankun Auction House could use this style and it would definitely be different.

"Mike, even if we are friends, you should not dismantle me - if I tell you the original price, do you think they will still pay the price I am paying now?"

When Joe said this, he felt angry.

But Mike smiled and said:

"Actually, you can understand it this way. This just shows the success of your investment! Maybe because China is becoming more and more powerful, these cultural relics that represent the highest craftsmanship of Chinese porcelain will be more valuable in the future?"

Qiao touched his chin, thoughtfully:

"Maybe you're right - I spent twenty-seven million dollars to buy this big jar."

"Joe, you are so greedy!" Mike laughed, feeling proud of having succeeded in doing something bad. "You actually want to sell him for twice the price - but I wish you all the best - OK, auction.

start!"

"Fifty-one million dollars!"

It's Yang Xiong again.

But this time, everyone was not so surprised by Yang Xiong's bid. After experiencing the last auction, some of them felt that Yang Xiong was just teasing, not that dedicated to the auction items, and even felt like he was trying to please others.

So the price he offered was quickly exceeded by others:

"Fifty-three million!"

"Fifty-five million!"

"Fifty-five and a half million!"

…

After the large Yuan blue and white vase fetched a high price of over 100 million yuan for the first time, it rarely fetched lower prices at subsequent auctions.

The price has already gone up, and neither the holders nor the potential customers want the price to drop.

Moreover, such large porcelain could only be made in China in ancient times. It is rare to see such large and perfect porcelain in the world.

So although Qiao has said that he thinks the price of Yuan blue and white porcelain has reached its peak now, there are still people actively bidding.

Joe was very happy to see the price soaring.

This is considered his most successful investment in recent years.

Mike leaned in front of the auction table and just listened to the lively bidding of these people. He didn't participate, he just watched.

Soon, he discovered that in the entire auction house, apart from Joe, there was one person who did not participate in the auction.

That is Zhu Yu.

It shouldn’t be!

Even Yang Xiong, who had been speculating before, participated in the fierce bidding for this Yuan blue and white jar, but Zhu Yu never made a bid.

And in that state, it didn't look like he was waiting until the end before bidding - it was like he was watching a show.

I had no intention of getting involved at all.

Isn't he interested in this?

But this is a very representative thing in the history of Chinese civilization!

After many wealthy Chinese people have money, they will do everything possible to buy Chinese cultural relics and send them back to the country.

As far as he knew, this Zhu Yu had done similar things.

But why doesn't he speak now?

Not only was Mike staring at Zhu Yu, but Yang Xiong was also staring at Zhu Yu.

He originally guessed that Zhu Yu would bid for this large Yuan blue and white jar, but then he raised the price severely to let him know what an old-timer was!

It's just that Zhu Yu didn't participate in the bidding from beginning to end, which made him very depressed.

However, he also had a good impression of this large Yuan blue and white jar, so he kept raising the price to 81 million, and he was still bidding.

But not many people were following at this moment.

Now this price has exceeded the bottom line of many people. In their opinion, although this Yuan blue and white jar has appreciation value, it is much worse than Monet's painting.

In the end, the large jar of Yuan blue and white was sold to a white man with slightly dark skin for 83.5 million.

Yang Xiong gave up when he reached 82 million - he felt that his money was not so easy to come by now, and when he gave up, there were still two people fighting for it. He thought it would definitely reach 100 million, so he

Did not continue.

Unexpectedly, it ended after just over 83 million, which made him regretful - if he had known better, he would have persevered!

He finally retracted his paws, which made many people think that this person was just here to support the fire, but in fact he had no real perseverance - the head of the rat and the two ends of the rat cannot interact.

"Okay, this big Yuan blue and white jar now belongs to Mr. Jensen. After the auction, Mr. Jensen, you can take this treasure away."

That Jason was very happy. He almost couldn't take his eyes off the big can brought by the bunny girl. He must have really liked it.

"Well, the next thing to be auctioned is a very unique item. For some people, it is nothing, but for some people, it is a holy object - this is the gold from the Dead Sea.

Bible!

After identification, this Bible is from around 100 AD, and its value can be imagined!"

Before Mike finished speaking, some people below were already talking loudly!

Obviously, some people were very excited and seemed to have great determination to get this golden Bible.

Mike originally wanted to make a few jokes, but after seeing the reactions of these people, he knew it was hard to say anything else, so he started filming directly:

"The starting price is 18 million US dollars, start bidding now!"

"Twenty-five million dollars!"

The first person to speak raised the price by almost two-thirds!

"Thirty million dollars!"

"Thirty-three million dollars!"
