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.

"Xia Yan, don't ask for price, wait a minute!" Liu Xueer gently pulled Xia Yan's arm and said.

"Er... OK!" Xia Yan was going to continue to bid, but his girlfriend persuaded him, so he had to stop.

The snuff bottle was bought by four blood families at a high price of 75000, indicating that the shooting will be very unusual.

The second collection is an ancient jade. The estimated transaction price of the auction house is 200000. This time, No. 73 joined the bidding again.

For the first time, regardless of the cost, it barely makes sense. For the second time, it is very puzzling.

After a few rounds, four foreigners called the price of this ancient jade to 400000, another high price that everyone didn't expect.

This time, Xia Yan felt wrong.

These foreigners don't really want snuff bottles and ancient jade. They just want to confuse the line of sight!

Could it be? Xia Yan was not sure. He didn't bid any more. He decided to see the next actions of these blood families.

The four blood families took the second collection without suspense.

They still bid for the third collection with the attitude of being sure to get it. They bid the collection worth 500000 to 800000 and won it again.

The order in the meeting hall was difficult to maintain, and everyone talked about it.

"This is a fool. Is there much money?"

"It's not fucking shooting, it's scavenging. Are these foreigners going to pack everything?"

"No, no matter how stupid and rich they are, they won't do such a stupid thing. Aren't they afraid to spread it and turn it into a joke?"

"If I say, it must be that they valued a very special collection and were afraid of being robbed by others. They simply photographed everything to hide their real goal!" someone made the same judgment as Xia Yan.

"How much would it cost to buy everything?"

"It doesn't cost a lot of money. The best thing this time is a wood carving work made by master Han Yidao in his early days. The transaction price should be about 5 million. It is estimated that all the collections add up to less than 30 million, which is less than 5 million converted into US gold. If there is anything they want to get, they won't lose if they spend 5 million on everything!"

"That makes sense!" the shooting continued. Sure enough, the four blood clans still bid for everything, and took it down at a frightening price every time. The first ten collections were all photographed by them. One of them was maliciously raised to a sky high price exceeding its value of 2 million, but it was still called up by No. 73 without blinking. People who knew the maliciously raised price dared not follow. At this time, the rising sun photography line was already happy and crazy. These four foreigners were giving them money! If you don't give money, it's so strange that it will certainly cause a big stir in public opinion. It's tantamount to advertising your own shooting business. Where can you find such a good thing? The pie fell directly on my head! The owners of those auctions were both stunned and ecstatic. These four foreigners are living Lei Feng. This is to give us money! How nice to have more fools like this! The shooting session continued in this unprecedented strange atmosphere. Finally, it was the turn of the crystal skull. The crystal skull was placed on the display platform covered with thick flannelette. Before shooting, there was a stage inspection as usual. This time, Xia Yan came to the stage, but the four foreigners didn't come to the stage, because they didn't check all the photos in front of them. They just recklessly bid for it. There's no reason to come to the stage for this worthless thing. However, when he got up and took the stage, Xia Yan glanced at them and found that their eyes were focused on the crystal skull for a moment, and then quickly moved away. This subtle action did not attract the attention of others, but Xia Yan noticed that this was their unprecedented response. Yes, what they want is this crystal skull. g0e
