Daniel continued, "As you all know, today is Sir Owen's special auction, and all the auction items are provided by Sir Owen.
"Friends who often attend auctions should know that Sir Owen is a golden signboard. As long as Sir Owen provides the auction items, they are absolutely authentic.
"You don't have to worry about the authenticity of the auction items. You only need to consider whether you like them and whether you can accept the final auction price.
"Today, Sir Owen has provided a total of 20 auction items. Now the auction officially begins."
Daniel waved her hand and an etiquette lady walked to the front stage with a tray.
"Today's first auction item is an ancient Huaxia porcelain. It's a brush washer from the official kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is said that the great beauty Li Shishi once used it."
She was also very proficient in the ancient culture of Huaxia. After making a detailed introduction of this brush washer, she announced, "The starting price of this brush washer is 600,000 yuan, and each increase is 100,000 yuan. Now the bidding begins. Friends who are interested, hurry up."
The porcelain of the Song Dynasty was still very famous in the antique circle. Especially with the word "official kiln", its value doubled.
"800,000 yuan."
"1 million yuan."
"1.5 million yuan."
The price of this brush washer soared, and it was finally bought by a Hong Kong businessman at the price of 8 million yuan.
The auction continued. This time, most of the auction items provided by Sir Owen were cultural relics unearthed in Huaxia. There were blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty and calligraphy and paintings of famous masters. Any one of them was worth a lot.
Daniel was indeed outstanding. Under her leadership, the atmosphere of the auction was very lively. All the auction items were successfully sold and none of them were left unsold.
Qin Haodong sat there, but he did not raise the bidding card in his hand. He was not interested in these antiques at all.
Yi Chenzi also sat quietly next to him and did not raise the bidding card even once. It seemed that he was waiting for something.
Bao Yuming, who was sitting behind them, raised the bidding card several times in a row and successfully bought an ancient painting.
From time to time, he glanced at Qin Haodong, waiting for him to raise the price and trample on him. He wanted to let Nalan Wushuang see that the toy boy she liked could only be trampled in front of him.
At this moment, another item was brought onto the auction stage. Daniel opened the lid, and to his surprise, it was a very beautiful ancient sword.
"Dear friends, this is an ancient sword produced in China. According to our experts' appraisal, it should be from the Great Ming Dynasty four to five hundred years ago.
I really admire the ancient Huaxia civilization for being able to make such a beautiful sword at that time. "
Daniel lifted up the ancient sword on the tray. The sword's scabbard was red and embedded with many different colored gems. The hilt was shaped like a butterfly. It looked like a sword used by women.
Daniel continued his introduction. "This sword is called the Butterfly Sword. Although it has been through hundreds of years, it is still extremely sharp. Everyone can take a look. This is definitely a rare ancient sword."
As she spoke, she pulled out the sword from its scabbard. Under the illumination of the hall's lights, the sword flashed with a cold light. It did not look rusty at all.
"Everyone, look closely. This is one of the best ancient swords in China. It's definitely one of the best collectibles. Let's start the bidding. The starting price is 1.2 million, and each increment is 100,000. "
As Daniel spoke, he started the bidding for the butterfly sword.
"I offer 1.5 million."
"I offer 1.8 million."
Obviously, many people were interested in this sword. They all raised the number plates in their hands and began to bid.
Qin Haodong had already seen through the butterfly sword. This sword was indeed an ancient sword from hundreds of years ago. Although the quality was not very good, it was beautiful and very suitable for women.
Knowing that Nalan Wushuang still did not have a suitable weapon, he turned his head and said, "How about it? Do you like it? If you like it, I'll bid for it and give it to you."
Nalan Wushuang said, "I'll like anything you give me, and this sword looks really beautiful."
"Well, I'll bid for it first. If I find something suitable, I'll change it."
At this time, the bidding had reached 3 million. Qin Haodong raised the number plate in his hand and shouted, "I offer 4 million."
For an ancient sword, the price of 3 million was already very high. He suddenly raised the price by 1 million. The hall suddenly quieted down, and no one raised the number plate to bid.
At the same time, more and more people noticed the young man sitting in the front row. They did not know who he was.
Daniel glanced at Qin Haodong in the front row. Just as men liked beautiful women, beautiful women also liked handsome men. She smiled brightly at Qin Haodong and said, "This gentleman bids four million yuan. Is there anyone else who wants to participate in the auction? Four million yuan once!"
Seeing that Qin Haodong finally raised the number plate, Bao Mingyu was delighted. He did not bid for this ancient sword before, but now Qin Haodong raised the number plate, so he wanted to step on Qin Haodong.
Moreover, Qin Haodong had not participated in the bidding for anything for a long time. Now that he suddenly raised the number plate, it meant that Nalan Wushuang liked this sword very much. As long as he bought it, he would be able to please the beauty and maybe get a chance to further develop himself.
The moment Daniel raised the small hammer in her hand, Bao Mingyu raised the number plate in his hand and said, "I offer 5 million."
Since he wanted to show off, of course, he could not be weak. He could not raise the price less than Qin Haodong, so he also raised the price by 1 million.
At this time, Qin Haodong knew that Bao Mingyu was competing with him. He raised the number plate in his hand and shouted, "6 million."
"7 million."
Bao Mingyu followed closely.
"10 million."
Qin Haodong shouted a price that shocked everyone. Anyway, he did not care about money. The money would be spent by the Li Family.
Bao Mingyu hesitated for a moment. He did not expect that this toy boy would be so fierce and raise the price by 3 million at once.
However, there was no turning back. Now everyone was watching him bidding with a toy boy. If he gave up now, he would lose face.
So he gritted his teeth and continued to shout, "15 million."
The price was far higher than the price of this ancient sword. Qin Haodong looked at Bao Mingyu and smiled. This guy was really arrogant. Since he was willing to show off, Qin Haodong would make him even more arrogant.
He raised the number plate and shouted, "20 million."
By now, he had already given up on the idea of buying this ancient sword. No matter who it was, spending 20 million to buy such an ancient sword that only looked good would still be a joke to others if he took it out.
Although he had already given up, he did not mind raising the price of the sword to help the venue earn more commission and help Sir Owen make more money.
"Well …"
This time, Bao Mingyu hesitated and did not directly raise the number plate in his hand to bid.
He had thought it would only cost him 10 million yuan at most to get the ancient sword and scare Qin Haodong away.
Now the price was far higher than he had expected. It was indeed a big price to spend more than 20 million yuan to show off.
At this time, Daniel spoke on the stage. As a white glove and a gold auctioneer of the auction house, he certainly knew the psychology of all kinds of people. After several rounds of bidding, he had already seen through Bao Mingyu's mind.
"20 million yuan. This handsome Mr. Qin actually bid 20 million yuan. As the saying goes, a thousand taels of gold can buy a beauty's smile. I guess Mr. Qin wants to buy this sword as a gift for the beautiful lady next to him. I really admire Mr. Qin's generosity and generosity to women."
Daniel's words were not directed at Bao Mingyu, but she was very skillful. It was obvious that she was praising Qin Haodong, but Bao Mingyu's heart was hurt. He suddenly raised the number plate in his hand and shouted, "I'll pay 30 million!"
Qin Haodong looked back at him playfully as if he was looking at an idiot. Then he put his number plate on the table.
He had already seen that 30 million was this guy's bottom line. If he raised the price, he would be the biggest winner.
Daniel smiled and said, "Mr. Bao, 30 million. Is there anyone else? 30 million once, 30 million twice."
After asking twice in a row, she knocked the hammer in her hand on the table in front of her. "Congratulations, Mr. Bao. This beautiful ancient sword is yours."
"Me …"
Although Bao Mingyu had won the bid, he didn't look happy at all. 30 million yuan was enough for him to invest in a small movie. It was too much for him to spend so much money just to show off.
He had just shouted it out on impulse. Now that he had calmed down, his heart was bleeding. But he had already spent the money, so he could not say anything. He turned his head and looked at Nalan Wushuang.
He had spent so much money, so the beauty should be impressed by him. However, Nalan Wushuang was not even interested in looking back at him. She was still looking at Qin Haodong with affection. Although she did not get the butterfly sword, she did not look dissatisfied at all.
"F * ck!"
He cursed fiercely in his heart, feeling extremely aggrieved.
No matter how depressed he was, the auction went on. On the stage, Daniel began to introduce the next item.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is the highlight of today's auction. I believe many people are here for it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a national treasure of our country.
Maybe some of you have already guessed that it is a precious cultural relic of our country, the Snake Head of the 12 Zodiac Animals. "
After Daniel's tempting words, there was a commotion under the stage. Indeed, many people came to the auction for the bronze head of the 12 Zodiac Animals.
