Chapter 406

Kong Lao still had a lot of face. Those who had received his favor raised their cards one after another. The price was soon called 600000, and the speed of bidding began to slow down obviously.

After all, it is worthwhile for them to spend $1.8 million to take care of Kong Lao's face and win Kong Lao's favor, but more is really unnecessary.

"A million!"

A middle-aged man with a general belly stood up, directly added one million, and bowed slightly to Kong Lao sitting in the VIP seat to show his respect.

Kong nodded slightly in return, but his disappointment flashed away. He bought the bronze tripod from an auction at a cost of 5 million meters of gold.

As a senior collector, if he can't find out the origin and value of the auction items, he will have trouble sleeping and eating. He deliberately set the reserve price of one yuan this time, hoping to meet someone who knows the origin of the bronze tripod to solve his doubts.

Ding Ning Huoran sat up straight and stared at the pocket tripod that was only a foot high. There was a storm and inexplicable ecstasy in his heart. The alchemy furnace was actually the Yanlong alchemy furnace of Emperor Yan.

It is recorded in the compendium of plants and trees that in order to compete with Chiyou in medicine, Emperor Yan, who was born with the talent of controlling fire, took the essence of bronze to make a furnace embryo, took the stone of Buzhou mountain as the furnace liner, extracted his own blood and turned it into Yanlong pill fire, and cast the Yanlong pill smelting furnace after 99.81 days of thunder quenching at the top of Thunder Mountain, It is the best alchemy furnace of Shennong tribe except the Jiulong Shennong tripod. Although it has not reached the level of artifact, it is also the level of top-grade artifact.

Unexpectedly, the Yanlong alchemy furnace, which has long disappeared in the long river of history, will appear in such a large-scale charity auction.

It's no wonder so many treasure experts can't recognize the origin of the alchemy furnace. After all, the alchemy furnace can only be driven by spiritual power.

The spiritual power can only be possessed after continuously purifying and transforming the real Qi in the body after entering the tianwu realm, so it's not surprising that those treasure forensics experts can't recognize the origin of the alchemy furnace.

It's a dream that only a million people want to get this alchemy furnace tripod. Even if they lose their money, he must get this alchemy furnace. With this alchemy furnace, he can start to try to refine pills.

Ding Ning sneered at himself. This is the Yanlong alchemy furnace

"One hundred thousand times, one million twice, if there is no further price increase, this bronze tripod belongs to this gentleman, the third one million..."

"Ten million!"

Just as Jiang Yimeng was about to drop the hammer, a cold voice suddenly sounded and quoted a high price of $10 million, which made everyone in an uproar and whispered one after another to find the trace of the bidder.

Ding Ning followed his reputation. This is a man sitting in an inconspicuous position in the middle, wearing a cap, a mask and sunglasses. He can't see his appearance clearly. He can't help narrowing his eyes. It seems that he has met someone who knows the goods.

Old Kong looked happy. The man was willing to bid such a price. Although it was far from the price he auctioned, the man was likely to know the origin of the bronze tripod.

"Ten million once, this gentleman bid ten million. Is there anyone else? Ten million twice, ten million three..."

Jiang Yimeng was excited. She didn't expect that such an insignificant bronze tripod could bid a high price of 10 million. Although she continued to tempt people to increase the price with a bewitching voice according to the Convention, she didn't think that anyone would pay a higher price, and even shouted faster.

"100 million!"

Ding Ning was startled. Is there a woman who makes such a price? I wanted to wait and see again, but I didn't dare to hesitate any more. I opened my mouth and shouted out a price of 100 million.

"What? Are you crazy?"

Ding Qianlie was startled and hurriedly pulled his sleeve. "Why do you pay such a high price for a broken tripod?"

"Don't worry, sister. This tripod is very important to me. I have to get it."

Ding Ning didn't have time to explain. After saying it without doubt, he stared at the alchemy furnace with his eyes full of perseverance.

He expected that the Yanlong alchemy furnace might not be so easy to get. The man who had been bidding for 10 million was staring at him like a knife, which brought him great pressure.

He is an expert, a very powerful expert, at least a strong one in tianwu realm or at the patriarchal level. No wonder he can recognize the value of this Dan stove.

"100 million?"

Jiang Yimeng was so scared that he almost threw away the auction hammer. A rusty broken Ding Ning even shouted out a price of 100 million, which was too bad for his family.

On the contrary, Bai Qing showed a thoughtful look. Ding Ning's identity seemed to be no problem, but the mystery he showed during this period proved that he was never as simple as the data on the surface.

He was able to bid a high price of 100 million, which proved that he was bound to win the bronze tripod. He must have recognized its origin and knew its value.

Looking at Kong, he was the only one who knew that, in addition to his well-known identity as an overseas Chinese, philanthropist and collector, Kong was also a member of the China Chamber of Commerce. His task was to collect the national treasures lost during the war for the country overseas.

Old Kong looked at him for a moment. The meaning was complex and difficult to understand. Ding Ning must know the origin of the bronze tripod, which made them hesitate. If the bronze tripod was really a national treasure, the country must take it back and never allow it to wander away, which would conflict with Ding Ning. Instead, they wanted the bronze tripod to be photographed by the man in tuxedo, In this way, they won't have any psychological burden.

"200 million!"

The man in the tuxedo was really unwilling to show weakness. He directly shouted out the price of 200 million and looked at Ding Ning like a threat.

"Three hundred million!"

Ding Ning doesn't care at all. Don't mention that he has more than one billion confidence. Even if he can't bid, he will block the way and win the treasure without hesitation.

"400 million!"

The tuxedo also seems to be full of confidence, a look of potential.

"Five hundred million!"

"600 million!"

"700 million!"

"800 million!"

"Billion!"

When Ding Ning calmly shouted a billion directly, the man in Tuxedo seemed to have reached the limit and stopped bidding.

He glanced at Ding Ning faintly, and made no secret of his cold killing intention under the sunglasses. Then he took back his eyes and remained silent as if nothing had happened.

The whole auction venue roared like a frying pan. A broken tripod that didn't know its origin and purpose sold for a billion.

You know, this kind of charity auction is all about showing love. Over the years, there are few people who can bid tens of millions, let alone billions.

People's eyes at Ding Ning changed again. Before, they only thought he was a big family child with extraordinary origin and deep background, but now, they don't think so. The people who can spend a lot of money and spend a billion are definitely not ordinary big family children. At least they are also the direct heirs of a big family, so they can arbitrarily control this astronomical figure.

It's not that these people present can never give a billion, let alone a mere billion. Even if they are worth 10 billion or even 100 billion, there are many people.

But wealth is wealth and cash is cash. In shopping malls, market value is one thing and working capital is another.

Despite the fact that many billionaires live a life of extravagance, in fact, a large number of real estate, rising stock prices after listing, huge bank loans, overdue loans, etc. after careful liquidation, they may even have negative assets, let alone take out one billion cash.

The reason why they can still live in villas, drive well, drink red wine, wear famous brands, go in and out of high-end places and live a high-class life is that they have an industry that continues to add value and attract investors to raise funds. It can be said that many famous tycoons are actually making money with the money of investors and banks.

Although it sounds incredible, this is the reality. Except for some industrial people, most rich people start by buying and selling short.

This is the inevitable outcome of the bubble economy. They actually take the money of shareholders and banks to engage in business activities, thus leading to the lives of people.

And as long as the company's share price doesn't collapse, they can live a prosperous life forever.

This is why once the stock market collapses, many rich people will immediately become insolvent and have no choice but to go down and commit suicide after bankruptcy.

Birds of a feather flock together. Rich people and rich people often talk about some business information, and sometimes an inadvertent information may be a huge business opportunity. Therefore, rich people will be keen to participate in all kinds of high-end cocktail parties to broaden their contacts and obtain some useful business information at the same time.

Do you expect a rich man to talk to the bottom of society who can't even eat about the price of cabbage today? There is no common language at all.

This has also led to the artificial division of society into 369 grades. Although wealth is not the only measure of class division, it is undoubtedly the most realistic watershed.

Therefore, whether in China or in other places, the concept of being equal to each other is always the eternal theme among aristocrats and giants.

In the final analysis, in this era of laughing at the poor rather than prostitutes, luxury goods such as famous cars, luxury houses, famous brands and watches have become symbols of the identity, status and financial resources of the rich, so as to join the upper class society and capture more wealth and opportunities.

It can not be said that this is a social retrogression and moral decline, but from the date of the emergence of private ownership, this hierarchy has become an inevitable trend of social development, a driving force to stimulate social progress, and one of the criteria to evaluate a person's success in his life.

Maybe some people will complain that this is unfair and extremely hostile to the rich. They think that people are born with the second generation of rich officials, the second generation of stars and the second generation of stars. They have no worries about food and clothing all their life. I have to eat wind and dew for three meals a day, and I can't even afford to rent a house.

In fact, it's really unnecessary. After all, whether it's the rich second generation or the official second generation, where do these rich and healthy second generations come from without the struggle of one generation? If you think about how their ancestors struggled, you'll have a balance in your heart.

If everyone is born equal, it would be unfair, just like a person who works hard to realize his dream and a salted fish who has nothing to do all day, eats and sleeps all day. When he finally runs to the end, he finds that his offspring are on the same starting line as the offspring of salted fish. For these people who have worked hard all their life, How fair is it?

The topic is a little far away. Cough, in short, at the moment, people present are staring at Ding Ning with hot eyes, guessing which lineal son of an aristocratic family can easily take out a billion cash, and it seems that they still have spare power, hesitating how to get close to him.
