Daniel said, "I don't think I need to tell you more about the bronze head. This is a treasure from the Old Summer Palace of Huaxia. Huaxia was weak back then, so the national treasure was lost.
"Today, Huaxia is strong and rich people are gathering. If anyone here is willing and has the ability, I sincerely hope that someone can bring this snake head back to Huaxia.
"Although I'm not from Huaxia, I know that this is a treasure that belongs to Huaxia."
This woman was indeed a talent. She knew what to say to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm to the greatest extent. After she finished speaking, many rich Chinese businessmen present were ready to take action. Obviously, they all wanted to buy the snake head and send it back to Huaxia.
Seeing that everyone was excited, Daniel said directly, "Let's start the auction of the snake head. This is the most valuable treasure in our auction today. The starting price is 5 million yuan and the price will increase by 1 million yuan each time. Friends who are interested can start now."
Normally, the price of the snake head would definitely be much higher than 5 million yuan, but the starting price of the auction items was lower than the value of the item. The price would only rise after the starting price.
Some people had even predicted that the snake head would be sold for at least 30 million yuan this time, or even more than 50 million yuan.
As soon as Daniel's voice fell, someone shouted, "I'll pay 5 million yuan."
The first person to make a bid was Yi Chenzi, who was sitting in the front row. He had not made a bid yet and it was obvious that he was waiting for the snake head.
To everyone's surprise, after the auction, Yi Chenzi stood up from his seat, turned around and said to everyone behind him, "Everyone, this snake head is something that my master likes."
The old man looked very arrogant. After saying that, he did not even look at the crowd and sat back directly. Obviously, he was very sure that no one in Hong Kong dared to compete with Mei Zhanlong.
All the people present were speechless. Many people who had been waiting to bid were dumbfounded. Some people had even raised their number plates halfway, but after hearing Yi Chenzi's words, they all stopped.
In Hong Kong, no one dared to offend Mei Zhanlong and his disciple. Once they offended the most powerful man in Hong Kong, they would not be able to live in peace in the future as long as they left a talisman in their house. Losing all their money would be a light punishment, and their family might even be ruined.
Qin Haodong's eyes widened abruptly. What was the difference between using power to frighten others into bidding and robbing things?
Generally speaking, this kind of behavior was absolutely prohibited in the auction venue. If someone else did this, they would probably be beaten up by the auction organizers immediately.
But it was Yi Chenzi who spoke today, and he had just said that this was what Mei Zhanlong wanted. Whether it was the Li Family who was in charge of the auction or Sir Owen who took out the auction item, no one wanted to offend Master Mei Zhanlong for such an item.
Daniel did not speak, nor did Tian Ye. Even the representative sent by Sir Owen did not speak.
Yi Chenzi sneered complacently. The result was within his expectation. No one dared to compete with them for what they wanted.
The others also thought so. Without Yi Chenzi's participation, the snakehead would definitely be sold at a sky-high price. But now it was different. No one dared to offend Yi Chenzi for this snakehead. Even Mei Zhanlong who was behind him.
Daniel secretly shook her head. As the auctioneer, of course, she didn't want to see this result. The higher the price, the more commission she would get. If it was sold at a low price, she wouldn't get a single cent of commission.
But she also knew the person in front of her. Even these rich people were afraid of him. As an auctioneer, she definitely could not afford to offend him.
Seeing that there was no sound around, she picked up the auction hammer in her hand and shouted, "This snakehead has been chosen by Master Yi Chenzi. Is there anyone else who wants to bid? If not, five million once … five million twice …"
Just when she raised the auction hammer in her hand and was about to make the final decision, she suddenly heard someone shouting, "I bid six million!"
Daniel was startled. Her right hand trembled and she almost knocked the hammer on the table. She quickly put away the hammer and looked in the direction of the voice.
Not only her, but all the people present also looked at the person who made the bid. A number plate was raised high in the front row. It was the young man who had just bid with Bao Mingyu for the butterfly sword.
Seeing that Daniel was stunned and did not respond, Qin Haodong smiled at her and said again, "Beautiful Miss Daniel, I bid six million."
"Uh …"
Daniel came to her senses and looked at Qin Haodong with a flash of worry in her eyes. She quickly said professionally, "Mr. Qin bid six million yuan. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
She also knew what this bid represented, so she did not make too much exaggeration. No one could predict what Yi Chenzi would do next.
Now everyone's eyes were focused on Yi Chenzi, because Qin Haodong's bid was not only a matter of money, but also a direct challenge to Yi Chenzi's authority and the authority of Mei Zhanlong, the number one practitioner in Hong Kong.
"Who the hell is this guy? How dare he bid with Master Yi Chenzi? Does he want to die? "
"I don't know. Since he can sit in the Supreme VIP seat, he must have some background. But no matter how powerful his background is, he can't be compared with Master Yi Chenzi …"
"It's really a case of a mouse playing with a cat. He wants money more than his life. He dares to rob others. Does he think that Master Yi Chenzi is as rich as Bao Yuming? He's doomed …"
"I guess he doesn't know who Master Yi Chenzi is. If he knew, he would not dare to compete with Bao Yuming. Even so, he is doomed …"
The people present were all talking about it. Everyone looked at him with pity, excitement, and gloating eyes.
Bao Yuming was the happiest one. He had been thinking about how to teach this arrogant guy a lesson, but now it seemed that he did not need to do it. This guy from Huaxia would probably die after offending Master Yi Chenzi.
A flash of fear flashed across Tian Ye's face and he hurried over to Qin Haodong. Qin Haodong seemed to know what he was going to do, so he waved his hand and motioned him not to say anything.
"This …"
Qin Haodong was a distinguished guest of the Li Family and Master Yi Chenzi was on the other side. Tian Ye could not afford to offend either of them, so he could only stand aside silently and resign himself to fate.
Yi Chenzi's face quickly darkened. He did not expect that this young man in his 20s would dare to challenge his prestige.
He looked at Qin Haodong coldly and his eyes were full of killing intent. Qin Haodong still had a faint smile on his face, as if Yi Chenzi was not looking at him.
"Boy, do you know who I am? I'm Yi Chenzi. "
Yi Chenzi finally revealed his identity. In his opinion, the reason why the young man in front of him dared to be so arrogant was that he did not know his identity.
But something unexpected happened again. Qin Haodong just smiled faintly and said, "I'm bidding for this snakehead sculpture. Who you are has nothing to do with me. Don't tell me you want me to give up on bidding just because of your ugly name? "
"Good, very good!" Yi Chenzi finally understood that Qin Haodong did not take him seriously at all. He said coldly, "I hope you can take this snakehead sculpture back."
At this moment, he had made up his mind. He wanted this snakehead sculpture and this young man's life. However, this was an auction house after all, so it was not appropriate for him to kill Qin Haodong in public. He had to wait until the auction was over.
Qin Haodong smiled and did not take Yi Chenzi's threat seriously at all. He turned his head and said to the stage, "Miss Daniel, shall we continue the auction?"
Daniel came to her senses and continued, "Mr. Qin has already bid six million yuan. Is there anyone else who wants to bid? If not, six million once … six million twice … "
Everyone present knew that although Qin Haodong had bid for this snakehead sculpture, it was still Master Yi Chenzi's possession. In this case, no one would be stupid enough to bid for it. Although the snakehead sculpture was precious, it was not as valuable as one's life.
In this case, Daniel called out several times, but no one raised their bid. Finally, she put down the hammer and the snakehead sculpture was sold to Qin Haodong at the price of six million yuan.
Qin Haodong was quite surprised by this result. He did not expect that this old man would stand up and rob it, but in the end, he got the bargain.
He had just used his mobile phone to check the auction of the animal heads. Recently, a head sculpture was sold for more than 20 million yuan, but that was almost 10 years ago.
In recent years, the price of antiques in Huaxia had been soaring, not to mention a national treasure like the bronze head sculpture of the twelve zodiac animals. It wouldn't be surprising if it could be sold for 60 million yuan, let alone six million yuan.
However, because of Yi Chenzi's interference, he bought such a valuable thing at such a low price. It was a pleasant surprise.
The auction continued. When the last item was brought to the stage, everyone was surprised. It turned out to be a monk's staff.
This staff was about 1.5 meters high and the metal color was very dark. It was hard to tell what material it was made of. There were 12 strings of gold rings hanging on its head. When it moved, it made a pleasant sound as if it could shake people's souls.
After seeing this staff, Qin Haodong almost jumped up from his seat. The Buddha Qi on this staff was so strong that it had reached the level of a divine weapon.
He had never dreamed that there would be such a rare Buddhist treasure in today's auction in addition to the snakehead sculpture, which was a national treasure.
From the moment he saw this staff, he had made up his mind to get this treasure.
