Cheng Xiaoxiao introduced, "This is the David Vase. It comes from China, which is recognized as the country with the longest history in the world. Its appearance breaks the consensus that there was no blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty."
"Its starting price is..." Cheng Xiaoxiao paused and continued, "One hundred million!"
"Bidding begins now, in increments of $10 million."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Xiu immediately raised the license plate belonging to China.
Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled, "Number Nine bids 110 million."
Behind Ji Xiu, the Korean nation holds up a sign.
Cheng Xiaoxiao said, "Number 42 bids 120 million."
As the Korean people raised their signs, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became a little subtle.
They didn't expect that the first country to snatch cultural relics from China would be Korea. They thought the first one would be Chicken Foot Basin!
After all, the two families have national hatred and family feuds.
Seeing the Korean country holding up the sign, everyone was ready to take action.
To be honest, they have been thinking about China's cultural relics for a long time, and today they finally got the chance.
So they all raised their signs.
Tianzhu held up a sign, "One hundred and thirty million."
Great Britain held up a sign, "One hundred and forty million."
Foot Basin Chicken held up a sign, "One hundred and fifty million."
Ji Xiu glanced at everyone calmly and said softly, "Two hundred million."
Cheng Xiaoxiao: "Number Nine bids 200 million."
The Korean nation was not to be outdone, "Two hundred and fifty million."
Great Britain: "Two hundred and sixty million."
Foot Basin Chicken: "Two hundred and eighty million."
Then, everyone saw that several companies were in a stalemate and kept quoting prices.
"Four hundred million."
"Five hundred million."
"Five hundred and thirty million."
"Five hundred and fifty million."
"Seven hundred million."
When the bidding price reached 700 million, many countries stopped bidding.
The person in charge of holding the sign in the Korean country looked at the president of the Korean country.
The President of the Korean Country looked at the David Vase on the auction table with an expression of determination to win it.
He must take a picture of this thing and bring it back, and then announce it to the world that this thing has always been an important treasure of their Korean country.
It's just that it drifted to China in the early years and was regarded as their cultural relic by the Chinese.
The President of the Kimchi Country nodded slightly at the man.
The man next to him raised his sign again, "Seven hundred and fifty million."
He looked at Jixiu provocatively.
Come on, add more and see who is better!
Jixiu sneered, "850 million."
The foot basin chicken intervened and said, "Nine hundred million."
Jixiu and the man from the Korean country looked at the person holding the foot basin chicken sign, with a hint of anger in their eyes.
Jixiu: “One billion.”
Kimchi Country: "One billion and fifty million."
Chicken Foot Basin: "1.2 billion."
Jixiu looked at them and said through gritted teeth, "Two billion."
Ji Xiu suddenly added 800 million, which stunned both of them.
They looked at their president.
Both presidents shook their heads, signaling them not to raise the price any further.
China has so many cultural relics! There are plenty of opportunities ahead.
On stage.
Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Number Nine bid 2 billion. Is there anyone here who can offer a higher price?"
No one in the audience responded.
Cheng Xiaoxiao said, "Two billion once, two billion twice, two billion three times."
She picked up the hammer on the table and tapped it gently. "Congratulations to Number Nine for winning the pair of David vases for $2 billion."
As she spoke, Zhang Xin and the other person took the vase away.
Then, Huo Yanhua and Mo Qingxuan came up carrying a stone tablet.
The moment he saw the stone tablet, the Egyptian president suddenly stood up and looked at the stone tablet excitedly.
The Xiaoyao Sect disciples standing by immediately pointed their guns at him when they saw his movements.
Navy Captain Zhang Shengqiang shouted, "What do you want to do? Sit down!"
The Egyptian president looked around and sat down silently.
At the auction table, Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "This next artifact is one that I believe everyone is familiar with. It is the famous 'Rosetta Stone,' the key to unlocking the 4,000-year history of ancient Egyptian civilization."
"It can be used as a key to ancient Egypt. Its value is self-evident."
"The bidding begins now, with a starting price of one billion."
Cheng Xiaoxiao had just finished speaking when the Egyptian president impatiently raised his sign, "One billion and fifty million."
Tianzhu held up a sign, "One billion and sixty million."
Great Britain held up a sign, "One billion and seventy million."
…
When the Egyptian president saw that so many countries wanted to take pictures of their country's precious cultural relics, he felt a little anxious.
But he told himself in his heart that he must not be impatient, because the more impatient he was, the more likely he would make mistakes.
He remembered that when the Rosetta Stone was still in the British Museum, archaeologists from his country had asked them for it many times, but had never succeeded. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he must seize it.
The Egyptian president took two deep breaths and held up his sign, "1.1 billion."
After he named the price, people from other countries also raised their bids.
Soon, the price of the Rosetta Stone soared to 3 billion.
This price was prohibitive for many countries present.
The only countries still bidding higher are Egypt and Great Britain.
The President of Great Britain had a simple idea: Great Britain must bring back a cultural relic no matter what, even if it had to buy it.
The President of Great Britain smiled slightly and continued to raise the price, "Three billion and ten million."
The Egyptian president snorted, "3.1 billion."
After that, the two of them bid back and forth several times.
With Cheng Xiaoxiao's "final decision", the Egyptian president finally bought the Rosetta Stone at a high price of 3.4 billion.
He looked at the Rosetta Stone being carried away, and his heart drifted away with it.
Now, he sat in the chair, feeling as satisfied as he could be.
…
In the next two hours, cultural relics from various countries were displayed one after another.
Except... the artifacts of the chicken in the basin.
Although two hours had passed, everyone did not feel tired at all. Instead, they became more energetic.
At the auction table, Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the crowd and said word by word, "The next artifact is a Liao Dynasty tri-colored arhat statue from China."
As she spoke, the Liao tri-color Arhat statue was carried up by the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Cheng Xiaoxiao introduced, "The Liao Dynasty tri-colored arhat statue is a ceramic work from the Liao Dynasty in China. It is world-renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and unique artistic style. Its number is extremely rare. If you buy it and keep it, your country will gain both face and reputation."
"The bidding price for this item is 300 million, in increments of 10 million each. Bidding begins now."
After Cheng Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she looked up and saw that the first person holding up the sign was not Ji Xiu.
But it’s the No. 38 Chicken in the Foot Basin.
Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled, "Number 38 bids 310 million."
At this time, the Chicken Emperor, who was not in so much pain, frowned.
Thirty-eight is thirty-eight, why call it Sanba? It sounds like an insult.
