Chapter 353 (1/2)
The theme of this auction is miscellaneous. The first collection, a snuff bottle in the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, looks very beautiful. However, due to defects, the starting price is not high, only 10000 yuan.
After introducing the collection, the photographer just announced that the bidding began. No. 73 raised the sign: ”twelve thousand!”
”It's those foreigners!” Liu Xueer whispered in Xia Yan's ear.
Xia Yan nodded and was slightly surprised. This snuff bottle is not a very good thing. Why are those blood families interested? This kind of thing is afraid that even their treasure house is not qualified to enter, and can only be classified as garbage.
Can't I see the secret of this snuff bottle? Xia Yan was confused.
Two buyers bid to compete with No. 73, but those foreigners seem to be winning. Whenever someone asks for a price, they raise their cards quickly. Soon, the two buyers gave up.
The photographer was a little excited. He didn't hold much hope for the snuff bottle. He didn't expect the competition to be so fierce at the beginning. The auction house estimated the transaction price of the snuff bottle at about 30000 yuan in advance, but after several rounds of bidding, the price has been called 60000, which is a good start.
”Six times...”
”Sixty two thousand!” Xia Yan raised his card and looked at it for a while. He also started to shoot. He was not interested in the snuff bottle, but he wanted to know how much the four blood families valued it.
”Sixty five thousand!” No. 73 quickly raised his card to bid, with great momentum.
There was a ”buzzing” sound in the venue. Obviously, everyone didn't expect that an insignificant little thing called out a price that no one thought of. Although tens of thousands of yuan is not much, it has greatly exceeded its own value compared with this thing.
Does everyone look out of sight? This snuff bottle is actually a treasure? It's impossible. It's a very common thing!
”70000!” Xia Yan raised his card again. He doesn't lack tens of thousands of yuan now, but the doubt in his heart is to find the answer.
”Xiao Yan, what are you doing?” Yao shigu was a little worried. ”This thing is not worth so much money. You will lose money if you shoot it!”
”Martial uncle, I know!” Xia Yan whispered, ”I just think there must be a reason why those foreigners value this thing so much. Maybe it's really a treasure?”
”Xiao Yan, you can't do this...” Yao shigu couldn't cry or laugh. At this time, No. 73 raised his card again, 75000, and there was another uproar in the field.
”Xiao Yan, there are many things that only have special value for specific people, such as family keepsakes and things lost by ancestors. They have to buy them back for how much money they spend, but they are not worth money for others, and if they insist on robbing them, they will offend people, and the gains outweigh the losses!” Yao shigu explained to Xia Yan.
Just because it's something they value, I want to rob it!
Xia Yan thought what he could not make complaints about. But he did not know any Cain bones. He would think that this behavior was stupid.
