A young woed paper box Gliht shone back at her It was definitely chinaware

When everyone had taken their turns to look at the storage unit, the auctioneer raised his hand and yelled, his words rapid like gun-fire ”Come, come, come! Come over here You all knohat’s in this unit Iprice Let’s start with 500 dollars! 500 dollars, 500 dollars…”
”Hoe go about this?” Hans asked quietly
Li Du smiled wryly ”I think that it’s worth quite a bit We won’t have wasted this trip if we can get it for 5,000 dollars”
Hans’s eyes glowed green ”There’s an antique in there?”
Having earned a large sum from the antique clocks, he was especially alert when it ca related to antiques
Li Du shook his head ”That I can’t tell All I know is that this storage unit is worth quite a lot”
With the rising popularity of China’s antique chinaware around the world, the chinaware in the storage would no doubt spark a bidding war The starting price of 500 dollars wasn’t high The treasure hunters fell over each other in their rush to bid
”Five hundred dollars Me, Old Charles, look over here!”
”I’ll pay 600 dollars! This storage unit is mine!”
”The Cerci Family will pay 700 dollars—Okay, 800 dollars! We’ll pay 800 dollars!”
”Here, look here, 2,500 dollars! I’ll pay 2,500 dollars!”
The price rose rapidly It rose from 500 to 2,500 dollars in less than twenty bids, and the auctioneer hadn’t even said a word!
The auctioneer drank in the sight greedily His earnings were based on coe units
Hans was stunned by the mad rush of treasure hunters ”What is this? It’s just some chinaware You can find cheap chinaware for a few dollars in any general store Anyway, it ht not be Chinese porcelain”
Li Du shook his head ”It’s not Chinese porcelain”
The porcelain they were referring to wasn’t the chinaware mass-produced by China nowadays, but antique Chinese porcelainware
By the time the price reached 2,500 dollars, most of the treasure hunters had cal out of the auction
Hans felt that noas a good time to join in So he raised his hand and tried his old trick of raising the price drastically ”Five thousand dollars!”
Hearing his price, the auctioneer was overjoyed He pointed at Hans and said loudly, ”5,000 dollars 5,000 dollars 5,000 dollars! The price is now 5,000 dollars! Very good, very good! Can I have 5,100 dollars? 5,100 dollars! 5,100 dollars…”
