C76 Priceless Auctions

Luo Qiu had worked as a host for several years and was already familiar with the road. She stopped panicking and said with a smile while looking at the crowd.

Welcome everyone to Jiangbei Scenic Spot, to participate in the Treasure Appraisal Auction hosted by the Jiang Prefecture's Yong Hui Group. There are a total of twenty items being auctioned today, the authenticity of the items have been verified by a few experts of our Treasure Appraisal Department, and we will be inviting us experts to come onstage.

"They are, respectively, Professor Zhang from the Palace Museum, Mr. Zhou from a well-known collector in China, and President Zheng from the Hong Kong Collectors' Association."

While they were talking, a white-haired old man and two middle-aged men entered the auditorium and took their seats.

The crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion.

"These three experts are not simple. Professor Zhang from the Palace's Museum has worked in this field for more than 50 years. He can tell if any of them are real or fake with a glance."

That Zhou Yuan is also a famous collector in the country. His collection's price added up to more than 500 million yuan, and the final Merchant Zhou treasure auctioned off during the finale is his collection. It's said that it's a treasure passed down for thousands of years by his ancestors.

It is said that he is a descendant of Zheng Cheng. Zheng Family is currently also one of the largest families in Hong Kong, but President Zheng is actually the illegitimate son of the Old Master of Zheng Family, even though he returned from his ancestors, he did not have enough status in Zheng Family, otherwise, he would not be able to invite him into this auction.

After a round of discussion, Luo Qiu continued on the stage.

"It is already 7 PM. Guests, please get ready. The auction is about to begin. We would like to ask the staff to bring out our first collection."

Following Luo Qiu's words, all the cameras in the audience turned on at the same time, and the footage spread to all the live broadcast platforms and television sets.

He saw a graceful woman wearing a blue qipao holding a square plate of mahogany walking onto the stage. However, because it was wrapped in red cloth, no one knew what was inside.

The woman placed the plate on the auction table and stood quietly to the side.

Luo Qiu looked at the crowd with a smile, then said naturally.

"Welcome to the television set. The audience members in front of the screen will be watching the Treasure Auction, which will be held in Xiushan, Jiangbei. I will now reveal the first item for everyone."

Luo Qiu gently removed the red cloth and a simple porcelain bottle appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Is this the Yun Yang Pitcher that is supposed to bring happiness and happiness?"

Fifty percent of the people participating in the auction were experts. Even the big bosses who didn't know anything about antiques had invited professional appraisers.

Thus, when Luo Qiu lifted up the red cloth, many people immediately recognized that the porcelain vase was actually a blue and white porcelain, and was instead the most famous blue and white flower.

The price of this blue and white porcelain definitely exceeded ten million. Logically speaking, the first item to be auctioned off should have been the lowest price in the entire auction.

If the first item in the collection was blue and white porcelain, then how precious would the treasures behind it be?

Not only the live scene, but also the audience in front of the TV series and the screen on the phone were all excited. Many of the people watching the auction were naturally collecting their antiques and howling in grief, knowing the price of the Blue Brilliance Flower and were extremely surprised.

A lot of people were already commenting.

Jiang Xi pawn king: "Oh god, the first collection is actually blue and white porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, this is a treasure that can only be found by luck and not sought."

Hengzhou Jeweler: "It seems today's auction will definitely have a lot of treasures."

The money lover of the golden bean: "Oh god, the first collection is already so valuable, then how valuable is the last resort's treasure worth?"

As the audience was in a frenzy of discussion, many of the servers on the live broadcast platform exploded.

Luo Qiu said with a smile on the main platform.

"That's right, it's exactly the Ming Dynasty's Eternal Pleasure Green Flower Ruyi Cloudsea Bottle. This item was originally exiled overseas and was bought back to China by a patriotic collector at the Tokyo Auction House for 13 million yuan. Today, he entrusted us with the task of auctioning it.

"Fourteen million."

Hearing Luo Qiu's bid, everyone in the hall cried out in alarm. Even if it was just these rich people, fifteen million was definitely not a small sum.

A vase costing fifteen million yuan, this was simply too expensive. However, as a national treasure, it contained the blood and sweat of many craftsmen, and was also a legacy from the history of outstanding cultures. It was not something that could be measured with money.

"Fifteen million."

The first to bid was Zhang Judong. He, who had coveted Luo Qiu for a long time, naturally wanted to support Luo Qiu. The first to bid was to attract Luo Qiu's attention.

Luo Qiu gave him a polite smile. He was indeed overjoyed.

Chen Yao shook his head helplessly. He thought to himself, 'This little rascal's brain can no longer be saved.'

"20 million."

Very soon, someone increased the bid yet again, directly raising it by 5 million. Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air as all sorts of comments exploded on the broadcast platform.

"Riche, we're all rich people."

"The world of the rich is terrible."

"Envy, jealousy."

The camera turned to look at the bidder. Surprisingly, it was Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng said high-spiritedly: "Since this auction is being held in Jiangbei, we cannot allow others to underestimate the wealth of our Jiangbei merchants. We are not lacking in money, and the people of Jiangbei do not lack it."

Once Zhou Feng said this, the live broadcast platform began to fill with comments.

"The wealthy are asking to be provided for, the wealthy are asking to be provided for."

"Jiangbei is truly a place of excellence. There are so many rich people here."

Today, so many wealthy merchants had come to Jiangbei to participate in the auction, all for the sake of being famous. For them, money was just a number, as long as they added on the fame of an individual, company, and family, then wouldn't money roll in?

This was also the reason why the organizers wanted to hold this auction live. They were confident in the vanity of these rich people and knew that the price of the items would skyrocket.

Luo Qiu smiled knowingly as he looked at Zhou Feng.

"This Jiangbei is indeed a rich place. It seems like the wealthiest place in Huangjiang Province is still this place. Only Jiangbei can bring up such a handsome young master like young master Zhou Feng."

This Luo Qiu was extremely confident and controlled the atmosphere. Once she said these words, Zhang Judong was the first to give up and directly bid.

"22 million."

Soon after, another wealthy merchant from Jiangnan City called out, "Twenty-five million."

Very quickly, the price of the blue and white porcelain rose to forty million in just three minutes. Finally, in the fifth minute, Zhang Judong received forty-three million gold.

A vase was auctioned for a total of 43 million yuan. Although Chen Yao was a student of historical archaeology and had some knowledge of these things, this was the first time he had ever witnessed a simple sum of money while participating in an auction.

However, from Chen Yao's point of view, the value of the vase was almost bursting at the seams. The only reason why everyone raised the price was to brag about their family's fame in front of the whole country. In the end, Zhang Judong, this idiot, ended up acting like the big boss.

However, Chen Yao was also beginning to ponder about how terrifying the foundations of the top ten Jiang Prefecture clans were. Could it be that the forty-three million clans were nothing more than a drop in the ocean?
