On the day of the auction, Yidu Auction's largest auction hall, which can accommodate more than 300 people, was not only full, but also had many extra chairs nearby. In addition to the extra seats, there were also many media reporters standing behind it.

Everybody, the effect of the entire scene was like a world-class superstar holding a press conference! This shows how highly premium pearls of this kind are highly respected in the jewelry and antique circles!

The people who came to the auction site today were all rich and noble people in Hong Kong, especially some of the famous ladies and rich ladies from the big families in Hong Kong. They all came hard for those pearls.

!It would be a great honor to capture even one of these pearls!

Fang Fang and Yu Yien walked into the auction house in a very low-key manner and sat in a corner that was not yet occupied. The two of them even whispered to each other.

"The scale of this auction is great! There are so many reporters, 1, 2, 5, 9, 10..."

Yu Yien tilted his head to calculate, and finally discovered that Yidu had invited 29 media outlets for this auction. It was really important.

“29 media outlets!”

"Really good..."

Fang Fang stretched his neck and looked at Zhang Xiaotian and Zhou Yan who were still communicating details with the person in charge of Yidu, and couldn't help but nodded!

Buyers entered the venue one after another, and the venue was getting fuller and fuller. Everyone seemed to be very interested in those pearls! The reporters’ machines behind them had all been set up, and the door was blocked.

It’s hard to get back in!

Fang Fang and Yu Yien calmly observed the expressions of the buyers around them. They saw that some of them were excited, some were calm, some were greedy, and some were confident. Just looking at their expressions, they really couldn't tell that they were banned.

Who has the problem?

"Okay, all the bidders here please take your seats as soon as possible! Our auction will start soon!"

Xie Guohai, the chief auctioneer of the auction, picked up the microphone and said, his voice was also extremely excited. It seemed that he was also very excited to host an auction that attracted much attention!

The people present were all members of the upper class of society. After hearing the auctioneer's words, they all stopped discussing, and the entire venue became extremely quiet in an instant!

"Okay! Welcome everyone to Yidu Auction! Yidu Auction has always been committed to perfect auctions. Thank you for your trust in Yidu. I am your senior auctioneer, Xie Guohai!"

Auctioneer Xie Guohai came up with a short paragraph of his company's advertising slogan as usual, and then entered today's theme.

"I believe that everyone has only one purpose in coming to Yidu today, and that is to see with your own eyes a unique treasure that is really hard to see in the world - South Sea pearls! And those ten large South Sea pearls will be our final auction today.

All bidders will be on display at the end, so please wait patiently!”

Wait a little longer for such a treasure. Naturally, all the buyers here who came for those pearls disagreed.

"Okay, let's start our auction immediately! Our first auction item is a very exquisite bamboo root carving!"

Xie Guohai motioned to the etiquette personnel on the side to place the auction items in the center of the auction table.

"This bamboo root carving is a root carving work from the early Qing Dynasty. It is about 15 centimeters high and has a base diameter of about 12 centimeters. It is carving an old man who collects herbs! The knife skills of this bamboo root carving are superb and the sword is sharp.

And it is precise. The old man's clothes, expressions, and body movements are all painted in detail and lifelike. It is a rare sculpture art!"

Xie Guohai introduced the lot in front of him,

"The starting price of this bamboo root carving from the early Qing Dynasty is... 100,000 yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 2,000 yuan!"

As soon as the price was announced, many buyers started whispering. Obviously... they thought the price was a bit high.

"Bamboo carvings from the Qing Dynasty... sixty or seventy thousand yuan is enough!"

"Yes, the price quoted is a bit high, I'm afraid it will fail!"

"Oh, some bidders may think that this price is a bit high for a bamboo sculpture from the Qing Dynasty! Here I want to emphasize again that this bamboo sculpture is not just a simple bamboo sculpture, it is a bamboo root sculpture.

, and it is very well preserved and has superb knife skills. Although we are not sure which master it was made from, but...just because of its shape and knife skills, it is very valuable for collection!

"

Xie Guohai saw that everyone had some questions, so he hurriedly explained to everyone,

"One hundred and fifty thousand yuan!"

An older gentleman held up the No. 3 sign and shouted out the first price.

"Okay, our No. 3 bidder is the first to shout out a price! One hundred and five thousand yuan, are there any other bidders who can accept the price?"

Xie Guohai said,

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

A young man with purple hair in the front row also held up a sign to quote,

"Ah, isn't this Mr. Tong from Tongde Food? Why is he here? When did he fall in love with antiques?"

The two men sitting next to the equation were discussing in low voices,

"Didn't you see the girl sitting next to him? She was the young model that Young Master Tong had just hooked up with. It is said that she served him obediently, so Young Master Tong would buy whatever he wanted! I guess.

It’s this young model who has fallen in love with those top-quality pearls!”

"Oh, that's probably what happened! That Young Master Tong is a well-known spender in the circle. He often spends money with his eyes open just to compare with others. He doesn't care whether the thing is worth that much!

"

There was a strong sourness in the tone of the man who spoke,

"Yeah, I guess this is just to show off in front of the young model! What a pity, Mr. Tang, he is a person who really loves antiques. Since he participated in the bidding, it proves that this bamboo root carving should be a good thing!

"

After listening to the discussion of the people next to him, Fang Fang raised his head and looked at Mr. Tang. He was about sixty years old, with some green stubble on his face. He was wearing an ordinary white old man's shirt and black gauze.

The trousers look very ordinary!

And that Young Master Tong is wearing the latest casual clothes of a big brand, his hair is dyed purple, and a watch on his wrist is enough for an ordinary person to buy a house! Look at the young model next to him, he is so fast.

It’s up to Mr. Tong.

"One hundred and twelve thousand dollars!"

There was a trace of embarrassment on Mr. Tang's face. An increase of two thousand yuan was the minimum standard.

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

Young Master Tong shouted proudly, and after bidding the price, he let out a burst of ironic laughter!

Sure enough, after Mr. Tong shouted out 120,000 yuan, Mr. Tang lost his voice. His face turned red and he was obviously a little angry.

"Master Tong, this bamboo root sculpture represents the artistic trend of an era. It shows us what our ancestors looked like at a certain node in the long history of history. This is very important to us cultural relic workers and antique collectors.

It is really important! I know you are not short of more than 100,000 yuan, but I also know that you are not interested in antiques, so it is really dispensable for you. Can you put it

It's given to me..."

Although he was angry, Mr. Tang still suppressed his anger and said humbly! He wanted to protect the root carving. He knew that even if it was bought by Young Master Tong, he would not cherish it because it was just Young Master Tong.

It's just an object used to show one's financial strength. Once you use it up, it will have little value!

"cannot!"

Young Master Tong refused directly without hesitation,

"At auctions here, the auction has always been for the highest bidder. If you can't afford it... you can get out now, don't ruin my fun!"

His tone was arrogant and unscrupulous, and the young model in his arms actually laughed sweetly,

"you......"

Mr. Tang was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't say anything. Seeing that the two sides were about to start a war, Xie Guohai hurriedly said,

"Mr. Tang, do you... still want to increase the price?"

When Mr. Tang heard Xie Guohai's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then lowered his head. He knew that this was Xie Guohai reminding him that these were rules and could not be changed!

Seeing that Mr. Tang didn't speak, Xie Guohai understood what he meant, so he spoke again,

"Master Tong, 120,000 for the first time, 120,000 for the second time, 120,000..."

"Two hundred thousand!"
