Chapter 42 Intense Auction

Xu Danding should have seen something, so he stared at us, but he may not know very well that we are here to spend money to be the masters, so we will not make trouble randomly.

So even if he stares at us, he will not gain anything.

As for why Xu Danding took the initiative to help the Aussie brothers auction, this matter is complicated and involves a lot of things, but we cannot afford to guess.

Time passes by bit by bit, and more and more people are on the auction site.

After experiencing the trouble yesterday, the people who joined in the fun have restrained their temper and refused to come again. Instead, the real buyers have free time and gather here.

Before we knew it, it was already eleven o'clock. I, Fatty Huang and Alisha, sat upright below. At this time, I saw an elderly white man in a suit and a bow tie walking up and lifting him up. He glanced at the table with an auction hammer, and then started the scene at the beginning of the auction.

The old man was very eloquent, chatting and laughing, and speaking very casually. I had to concentrate all my energy before I could hear his words and the meaning of a series of slang.

He talked for a long time, first apologized to everyone about what happened yesterday, and then said a lot.

Finally, he stretched out his hands and introduced the first lot today.

The first auction item was a golden mask from the ancient Inca Empire. It is said to have been dug out from a sinkhole in the Andes in South America. At the same time as it appeared, the famous Inca high priest's golden scepter. The thing is said to have been obtained by the Cardinal Archbishop of the American Diocese and has been transported to the holy city of Vatican and worshipped to the great pope.

This is a heavyweight lot, and it is probably the first one to take it out for the deterrent effect.

When the old man introduced this thing, the lights turned dim throughout the whole process. Then, in the middle of the stage, a golden mask covered by explosion-proof glass slowly rose from the middle, and the light hit it, and then projected onto the large screen behind and around the auction hall. Every corner and pattern of the golden mask is vividly visible, emitting a breathtaking charm.

As the close-up approached, I heard countless people sucking air conditioners.

The originally quiet audience suddenly became lively. The VIPs who came to participate in the auction discussed with the people next to them, obviously intending to pay a big price for this mysterious thing.

After the old man finished introducing the article, he posted an appraisal report from the world's most authoritative appraisal agency on the big screen.

At the same time, the starting price of the lot is.

Two thousand seven million dollars.

Each bid is no less than 100,000 US dollars.

The lights were on, and the old man gave the buyers some time to appreciate and think, and then announced the start of the auction.

I was not interested in this thing, so I didn't pay much attention to it. However, Alisa whispered softly beside me, talking about the dark people and wizards who are rampant in North America today. Many of them are believers from the ancient Inca kingdom. They believe that this golden mask can bring the power of the gods to themselves, so the competition will be very fierce.

Sure enough, as Alisa said, the gold mask, which started at 27 million US dollars, was almost instantly raised to 40 million.

After 40 million US dollars, not many people shouted for the price. By 45 million, there were only three companies.

One is pale and wearing a tuxedo, wishing others wouldn't know that he is a middle-aged man from the blood clan, a fat man who is as fat as a pig, a seat that can't even sit on, and a beautiful woman who can't sit on it.

The three of them repeatedly bid, but later, the beauty withdrew from the competition.

Then the guy who was like a blood clan also stopped bidding.

The first auction item was finally sold for $54 million, and this price was exactly twice the starting price.

No more or less, as if it was deliberately done.

The fat man became the final winner, and after the hammering, he couldn't help but waved to the beautiful woman he had competed for before, and made a very obscene move.

The beautiful woman's face was as cold as ice, and she ignored him at all.

The subsequent items became much more normal, including works from the three Renaissance literary masters, famous paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, calligraphy and antiques from ancient Chinese masters, objects that celebrities have used, and even top luxury houses on the west coast of Los Angeles, and even dinosaur egg fossils from the Jurassic...

I ignore all these things, watching those people bid continuously, some more and some less, but in short, it gives me the feeling that money is not money at all.

Even if I convert this amount into Happy Beans, I feel that I can't accept it.

Anyway, this is a game for rich people. For me, it is just a lively comedy. Even if I auction the works of Dong Qichang and Tang Bohu, I didn’t make any noise.

I don't pay attention to these things.

Time continued, and when a set of six thousand magnetic balls were exhibited, the scene suddenly became lively again.

Thousand magnet balls are a kind of spiritual sustenance for ancient missionaries. They are said to be excavated from some powerful magnetites and finally ground into a sphere to be played with by missionaries. In our words, this thing should be regarded as a magic weapon.

And this set caused a sensation because they had received the blessings of Pope Benedict XV and had been crowned for more than five years with the Pope.

This thing can be regarded as a holy tool in the minds of Christians.

Because of this, after the shooting started, countless people competed for it and almost entered a white-hot stage. In the end, they sold a huge high price of 167 million. The most surprising thing was that the person who took this set of Thousand Magnetic Balls was actually the man in the tuxedo who had competed for the golden mask before.

Looking at his pale face, thin lips and narrow eyes, it makes people unable to help but maliciously guess the other party's identity. Could it be a blood clan?

If that's the case, that's a bit fun.

When the buyer No. 76 took a photo of this item, a staff member immediately came over to check with him and asked him to go to the side to verify the capital, obviously he was afraid that something would happen.

In fact, we had already experienced it once when we entered the market, but this No. 76th Master made frequent moves just now, which was really strange.

When the other party took a photo of the thousand-magnetic ball, I felt a lot of bad intentions and looked at him.

The Thousand Magnetic Balls blessed by the Pope are considered a small auction. Although the subsequent items are still very good, they seem to consume the passion of many people. The competition begins to be less intense, and there are not many people bidding, which generally makes the transaction price relatively low, and even the items that fail to be sold appear.

Perhaps because I felt the enthusiasm for retreat, the auction temporarily adjusted the order of the items, and the third item after the adjustment was the heart of the brave we have been waiting for.

I, who was originally wandering outside the sky, became nervous in an instant.

I sat upright and heard the old man’s introduction to this thing, including its origin and related experiences, and then began to talk about the uniqueness of the heart of a brave man.

He said that this is a very mysterious jade. Strictly speaking, it should be called amber, because in this jade there is something like a lion. Although it cannot be proved, some people are still willing to think that it is a life. It once existed in the world, but later it was hidden underground due to various changes. After tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years of crust movement, it finally became what it is now...

Finally, the old man said passionately: "This is the famous heart of a brave man!"

Starting price: 51 million US dollars.

The bid price is no less than US$100,000.

After saying this, he took a look at the auction hammer and said, "Please bid for all the VIPs..."

In addition to the previous thousand-magnetic balls, this is the most expensive item.

However, when the old man spoke, it suddenly became unpredictable.

Everyone is very interested in the Thousand Magnetic Balls from the Vatican, but they are not very interested in a piece of jade from the old pit of Myanmar. After all, in the mainstream cultural circles in Europe and the United States, the pursuit of jade is far less persistent than that of Chinese people.

They do not agree with the relevant culture so much.

So this "heart of bravery" was a bit cold at the beginning.

Seeing that everyone was not in high spirits, my heart suddenly jumped, because if no one raised the price with me, I should be able to take this thing into my pocket at a very small price.

Thinking of this, I was about to raise the sign, but at this moment, someone raised the sign in front of me.

No. 105, bid for 54 million.

The price was directly raised by 4 million US dollars.

This is really rich. You should know that many of the lots today may not cost four million US dollars.

I narrowed my eyes and looked over, but I saw that the one who competed for the "heart of a brave man" with me was the beautiful woman who had snatched the golden mask before.

I didn't hesitate anymore, and directly raised my mattress and said, "Five million."

"Five eight million."

The other party shouted for a price without hesitation. After I felt the other party's persistence, I was silent for a few seconds, and then the bid was directly opened for 65 million US dollars.

My bid made everyone on the scene cheer.

There are few bids so strong at auctions, and usually those who pay this price are determined to win.

The beauty felt my determination and hesitated, and the host started to shout, once, twice...

Just as he was about to drop the hammer, someone suddenly raised a sign again.

Five hundred and fifty million.

When I heard this amount, my eyes widened and looked at the bidder.

It was actually the fat man before.
