C549 Spiritual Treasure at Auction
Damn, it seems like Luo Yiming's horizons has been raised after staying here for so long.
Zhou Yi nodded. Since that was the case, he was relieved.
With the second Chinese auction item dropping, the third item was quickly completed.
The starting price of this collection was three hundred thousand. After a round of testing and testing, Zhou Yi directly raised the bid to seven hundred thousand.
However, the foreign consortium didn't stop this time and raised the price to 800,000.
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, these foreigners reacted pretty quickly!
Without any hesitation, Zhou Yi raised the price to one million.
Seeing Zhou Yi increase the price so straightforwardly, the foreign consortia also increased their bid by another hundred thousand.
This cultural relic that was originally estimated to be worth less than 300,000 yuan had already been sold for 1.1 million.
"Brother Zhou, please calm down. They are obviously trying to fight you to the death. If you continue, you will only lose more!"
Dong Zhishang, who didn't intend to persuade anymore, finally couldn't help but to give a reminder.
"Plus, so be it! Who's afraid of who!" Zhou Yi's brows twitched as he said in a domineering manner, "I have plenty of money, so I will fight to the death with them today. I have to get this!"
Zhou Yi's voice was not soft, or perhaps he purposely did not lower his voice, causing a commotion among the surrounding people.
At this moment, many people could not help but ask their Chinese speaking friends what exactly did this domineering young man mean.
When most of the people finally understood the meaning of his words, the atmosphere became even more lively.
"Two million!" My god, this gentleman from the 98th has bid 2 million. Everyone, is there anything higher than this? "
Dong Zhishang turned back speechlessly as he swore in a low voice.
Of course, there were foreign consortiums who understood Chinese. They could not help but feel overjoyed when they heard Zhou Yi's words.
If Zhou Yi wanted to fight to the end, it would be exactly as they wanted.
Two million and one hundred thousand... 2.5 million... Three million... Three million one hundred thousand …
Four million!
The auctioneers on the stage could not help but feel their blood boil. Even though the internet was so well-developed today, the prices of every item had not even started to be auctioned. In fact, most of them had already been analyzed.
Usually, the price would only float up to around 50%. It was rare for it to fluctuate by more than 100%!
But today, for the first time, he felt that he had participated in a truly exciting auction.
"4 million!" This auction item's price has already reached four million. It seems like this item contains secrets that we do not know about.
The auctioneer was eager to create a higher price and continued to stimulate the bid.
Dong Zhishang was already in despair, but he couldn't help but turn his head back to look at Zhou Yi and said: "Mr Zhou, what you're doing is really not worth it!"
He could not bear to see this young man from China fall down and get ruthlessly slaughtered by these foreigners.
Lifting his hand to support his chin, Zhou Yi nodded and grinned, "That's right, Mr. Luo, there's an old saying in China that goes way too far. If you can persuade even half of it, I will listen to your advice."
When Zhou Yi said this, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
Afterwards, many people began to inquire what this young man had said in a domineering manner.
Were they planning on increasing the price by a sky-high price?
However, when they understood the meaning behind his words, everyone was stunned.
Of course, he could understand it just by thinking about it. It really wasn't worth it.
The ones with the ugliest faces were probably the people from the foreign consortium who had been following the auction.
At this moment, they realized that they had been tricked.
"Then, four million going twice! Is there anyone else? "
"4 million, third try, deal!" Congratulations to the gentleman at number 23 for being able to bid for this peerless treasure that's worth four million! "
The face of the person who spent an entire four million on an item that was estimated to be worth three hundred thousand yuan turned green.
After hearing what Zhou Yi said, this bunch of foreigners didn't dare to casually follow behind Zhou Yi and complain anymore.
Zhou Yi was afraid that the price would suddenly skyrocket, so he suddenly chose to give up and directly threw it at his hands.
One had to know that even though the items were mostly their own, even if they were sold at a high price, they would only be able to pay a little commission to the auction.
However, taking the deal worth 4 million as an example, the commission was hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was simply equivalent to the value of the collection itself.
As Dong Zhishang said, no matter how rich you are, you can't be so crappy!
Of course, those people were actually profiting from it. Every item in the collection, Zhou Yi, was bidding twice the original price.
If he continued to heckle him, and ended up having to pay a high commission, he might as well take a step back.
Unknowingly, the auction was nearing its end.
To the Chinese people, the 23 pieces that they were more concerned about also had 20 items auctioned off.
Four of them were eventually won by the Americans, and the other sixteen were sold to Zhou Yi, who spent more than five million to buy ten of them.
The other six items were also taken by the patriotic merchants from China.
"Everyone, the next item to be auctioned is a cauldron from ancient China, an era that cannot be measured!"
As the auctioneer finished speaking, he lifted the red silk cloth off the table, revealing the true appearance of the item being auctioned.
It was a small cauldron the size of a palm, probably bronze. Although it was only a cauldron, it was about the size of an ancient wine cup.
Seeing this, some of the people who were looking forward to this couldn't help but feel disappointed.
The auctioneer also seemed to feel that this item was not very good, but he did his best to introduce it: "This item was bought by a wealthy businessman in the 1950s from China. It has never appeared in front of the public before, so this is its first time appearing in public!
We have done an age check for this item. Unfortunately, we did not get any concrete data, but according to the experts' guesses, this item is at least 2,000 years old!
In other words, this was a treasure from two thousand years ago!
The starting price is 100,000! "
Although the auctioneer's words were filled with excitement, the people below were not interested. However, because of their long history, some collectors were ready to bid.
However, Luo Yiming, who was sitting next to Zhou Yi, suddenly felt his boss' excitement.
At this moment, Zhou Yi's eyes were wide open as if radiating a godly light as he stared at the small cauldron.0
The moment this item was revealed, Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat, as if he had sensed a kind of call from the underworld. The Heavenly Water Bead in his mind jumped as if it had gone crazy, it seemed extremely excited, as if it had seen its old friend!
