Chapter 234 Price rage

Dongfang Shengnan followed Mr. Gao to the VIP seat with cold eyes. Her eyes crossed with Xiao Yun, but she didn't seem to know Xiao Yun at all, and she didn't stay on him for even a second.

Mr. Gao nodded politely to Xiao Yun, and then sat on his seat, while Dongfang Shengnan sat in the position behind Mr. Gao. Obviously, Mr. Gao also intended to participate in the auction.

Xiao Yun also nodded politely to Mr. Gao, but his eyes turned to Dongfang Shengnan sitting there. Xiao Yun didn't expect Dongfang Shengnan to appear here.

From the time Zhao Pengcheng gave him the note, Xiao Yun felt that it was impossible for Dongfang Shengnan to appear here at this time, otherwise he would not have written this note in a hurry.

Xiao Yun looked at Dongfang Shengnan's eyes full of doubts, but Dongfang Shengnan still walked to the back row and sat down like nothing. That expression obviously regarded Xiao Yun as a stranger.

After sitting in the VIP seat, Mr. Gao nodded to the people around him, one of whom was the richest man in the world.

Xiao Yun was a little puzzled. Mr. Gao obviously came from the Chinese government, especially Dongfang Shengnan was still by his side. However, Dongfang Shengnan summoned him again not to put the Diamond Sutra in the Blood Jade Guanyin Statue.

So, what is Mr. Gao here for?

Xiao Yun's attention began to focus on Mr. Gao. Soon Xiao Yun found that although the richest man in the world talked and even happily with Mr. Gao, his smile was a little stiff. Obviously, they understand why Mr. Gao came here.

However, what is the use of this blood jade Guanyin statue to make the richest man in the world so care?

While Xiao Yun was thinking about this problem, a man in his fifties came to the stage and coughed twice.

Xiao Yun looked around and there was an auction hammer on the podium in front of the man. Obviously, this person was the auctioneer of the auction.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!"

As the voice of the middle-aged man came through the loudspeaker, the multi-function hall immediately became quiet.

"Dear guests, only one collection is auctioned at this auction. This is a blood jade Guanyin statue from the Chinese merchant period." As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, low comments began to sound in the hall.

The auctioneer smiled faintly and knew that his statement aroused everyone's curiosity. Then he said in a low voice, "You must also know that Buddhism was introduced to China from India. The time is around the A.D. era. The appearance of the Guanyin statue is even later. This blood jade Guanyin statue has an obvious Chinese style, which is completely different from the Indian Guanyin statue. However, according to the latest scientific and technological tests, when this blood jade Guanyin statue was imaged, it was about 3,700 years away from today, and it was about the work of the late summer and the beginning of the Shang Dynasty.

Speaking of this, the auctioneer paused and then continued, "It's strange. Why is there such a work that should not belong to that era in the late summer and the early Shang Dynasty?"

Then, the auctioneer made some scientific speculations, saying that this item may have traveled through time and space to that era, and the item may have the ability to travel through time and space. It is also said that Buddhist culture should be revised. Buddhist culture is likely to have been the mainstream culture and religious belief in China since the summer.

It is also said that this may be an alien item. Aliens reached the earth in that era and left this thing, and so on...

Although various speculations and explanations are different, one thing is certain, that is, this blood jade Guanyin is definitely not an ordinary antique.

Next, the auctioneer began to briefly talk about the shape and size of Xueyu Guanyin, and then showed the photos of Xueyu Guanyin in the form of slides. Occasionally, he paused and pointed to some strange places of Xueyu Guanyin with a laser pointer to explain. And he showed the certificate of the original owner of the blood jade Guanyin authorized auction and the security contract signed by the head of the security company that blood jade Guanyin now belongs to prove that the blood jade Guanyin really has it.

While the auctioneer was talking little by little, several beautiful waitresses distributed the auction plates one by one to the bidders who had paid the deposit in advance.

When Xiao Yun got the auction number plate, he looked at Mr. Gao. Sure enough, Mr. Gao also got the number plate.

Xiao Yun doesn't understand. Since Mr. Gao is going to take action, do he still need to intervene by himself? Or is it that Mr. Gao is just here to do insurance? In case he doesn't have any financial resources, will he take over?

When Xiao Yun was thinking about why Mr. Gao and Dongfang Shengnan suddenly appeared here, the auctioneer had already raised the auction hammer on the podium.

"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, the most collectible blood jade Guanyin in the world has officially started shooting, with a reserve price of 500 million US dollars and a price increase of 10 million US dollars each time. Please..."

With the speech of the auctioneer's profession, the special auction of Xueyu Guanyin officially began.

"Blood Jade Guanyin, with a reserve price of 500 million US dollars, which one holds the card?"

"Okay... The gentleman over there raised the sign, 510 million US dollars! Five hundred and ten million dollars, is there any price increase?

The auctioneer exaggeratedly pointed the auction hammer at a young man behind the VIP seat.

The man's suit and leather shoes are not handsome, but he is also well-behaved. However, judging from the position he sits, he should be an elite figure of a young generation of a small force. He was made to show his face by the elders of the family. He did not really want to get this blood jade Guanyin.

"Is there anyone else willing to hold a card? Five hundred and ten million US dollars, this price is not high, and there is no price increase, 5010 million US dollars for the first time..."

The auctioneer shouted loudly and pulled the atmosphere of the scene into the ** state.

"Okay... The lady over there offered $520 million... Obviously, this lady wants to get this blood jade Guanyin more... I heard that this blood jade Guanyin is invited home, which has the magical effect of beautifying her face. Although this lady is extremely gorgeous, which woman in the world will think she is beautiful?"

The auctioneer said flatteringly and humorously.

"Five-two million for the first time..."

The auctioneer's tone was a little rapid, which made it sound like he wanted to promote the auction.

"Five-seven million... Fifty-seven million... The beautiful woman over there adds 50 million dollars at a time... It's really a woman... Couraper, it's really bold, is there any more? Is there anyone more courageous?"

The auctioneer shouted more sensationally.

Since there are so many forces staring at this thing and the mystery of the mysterious source, it is absolutely impossible for the price to fluctuate within tens of millions of dollars. But it will rise higher and higher.

Now, it's just the beginning, and the real white-hot auction is yet to come. Among other things, no one who sits on the VIP seat in the first row has the intention of raising the beat.

Sure enough, as soon as the first hammer of the auctioneer's $570 million fell, someone raised the card again, and the price was also increased to 600 million US dollars.

Then, the speed of holding cards became faster and faster. In less than two minutes, the price soared to one billion US dollars, and in two minutes, it increased by 500 million US dollars.

At this time, there was still no sign in the VIP seat. Xiao Yun understood that the current auction has not yet reached its peak.

When the price rose by another $500 million to $1.5 billion, the popularity of the bidders behind the VIP seats was significantly reduced, and the auctioneer's sensational and urgent tone gradually slowed down.

Because he knows that now the auction has really reached its peak, and if the tone is too fast, it will reduce his commission.

At this time, the auctioneer looked at Ichiro Yamaguchi sitting in the VIP seat and said exaggeratedly, "Wow! 1.6 billion US dollars, Mr. Yamaguchi's one-time price increase of 100 million US dollars, is a big deal! It's not the courage that ordinary people can have!"

The auctioneer directly named Ichiro Yamaguchi, looked at the lady who offered $1.5 billion, and then said regretfully, "Oh, it's really a pity, beautiful lady..."

Ichiro Yamaguchi began to raise his card, which means that the competition between these world-class super-riches in the VIP seat began. Those who sit in the back row, even if they have this financial resources, will not choose to take action.

After all, the limelight has also come out, and there is no way to offend these world-class super-rich.

Xiao Yun glanced at Ichiro Yamaguchi. At this time, Ichiro Yamaguchi looked calm and smiled at his acquaintances around him from time to time. A one-time increase of $100 million may be a sky-high price for ordinary people, but it is just a small start for these world-class super-rich people sitting in the VIP seat.

"Mr. Ichiro Yamaguchi's one-time price increase of 100 million US dollars shows the value of this blood jade Guanyin. Gentlemen and ladies, is there any price higher than 1.6 billion US dollars?"

The auctioneer is excited. Although his commission is a fixed commission of 100,000 US dollars, if the price exceeds 2 billion US dollars, he can commission 10,000 US dollars for every 100 million US dollars, which is not a small amount for him.

"Great... 200 million US dollars, Mr. Hawking, the king of the Dutch ship, increased the price by 200 million US dollars at one time... 200 million US dollars, the current price is $1.7 billion, is there any more price increase?"

1.8 billion US dollars. Now there are only two people holding up cards in the VIP seat in front of them. In this situation, more than 2 billion US dollars can be said to be easy. That is to say, his commission will rise sharply.

Xiao Yun still didn't raise the card, just a batch of people around him. He saw a trace of fanaticism in the eyes of the people around him. He didn't understand why these people were so enthusiastic about this blood jade Guanyin, so Xiao Yun looked at Dongfang Shengnan, who was not far from him, with an inquiring look.

At this time, Dongfang Shengnan also looked at him and made a gesture to Xiao Yun. Signed Xiao Yun to take a picture.

Although Xiao Yun didn't understand why Dongfang Shengnan let him intervene in the presence of Mr. Gao, Xiao Yun still raised the bidding sign in his hand.
