Chapter 669: The Porcelain Pot Can Only Be Sold at a Low Price

Li Minzai was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Yu Weiwei for a long time before he was sure that she was not joking with him.

Then I thought about the performance of the flower-growing country in the international community...

I also feel that there seems to be nothing wrong with what Yu Whale said.

The second half of the auction started soon.

Because of William's previous experience, no one else dared to bid as promised before.

In the end, the starting price of the beautiful Song Dynasty porcelain pot was US$1.5 million, but Lu Shiyan still had no intention of bidding for it, so the pot ended up being unsold.

In fact, the starting price is not that high, and it is the price in the current international antique market.

It was for this reason that Ackerman was unwilling to sell these items on the antique market, but instead approached Sotheby's auction house, hoping to use a gimmick to raise the price. But who knew that Lu Shiyan would not take the bait!

Because of what happened in the first half, Ackerman didn't expect anyone else to compete with Lu Shiyan.

Even if it's only $1.5 million, a drop in the bucket is better than nothing.

But Ackerman never expected that Lu Shiyan would not even bid for a porcelain pot worth 1.5 million!

So what is he doing here?

Are you kidding me?

Ackerman has a big beard and his bald head makes his forehead look particularly big.

He looked in the direction of Lu Shiyan and Yu Jingjing sinisterly, unable to swallow this humiliation.

News of what happened at the auction had already spread.

As Yu Jingjing explained to Lee Min-jae, both the royal family and the parliament of Country Y had issued a warning to him.

No matter whether it is the calligraphy or the porcelain pot, there must not be any news of damage.

Even the National Museum of Country Y began to petition the royal family, asking Ackerman to hand over these items to the museum for exhibition and to properly protect them, lest Ackerman's retaliatory actions affect the relationship between the two countries.

Ackerman is in bad shape, and William is even worse off.

His knighthood was directly stripped by the royal family, and now he has nothing except the properties left by his ancestors and a few antiques that are not very old.

He even had to repay the penalty that the royal family paid to the auction for William's "willful" bidding and their inability to pay, which resulted in the collection failing to be sold.

The distance between the nobles of Country Y and the workers of Country Y is only a competition.

Ackerman waved to the person beside him and whispered something in his ear.

The other person looked a little surprised, but soon laughed.

He left the auction venue at a brisk pace.

Yu Jingjing noticed the man and was about to remind Lu Shiyan to pay attention to him, but Lu Shiyan winked at her affectionately and said, "The gem is below. You can think about how to arrange it now."

Next up was the ruby ​​on the list that had been polished but was yet to be cut. The ruby ​​was large, weighing 65 grams. It was placed on a black velvet cloth, and under the light it looked bright, like pigeon blood.

Ruby mining is a difficult process and its production is rare. Most importantly, it is said that nine out of ten rubies will crack.

This means that most rubies have problems such as cracks and blemishes.

Ruby with such a perfect and pure color as the one on the table is very rare.

Moreover, it is large in size, so whether it is cut into pieces to make jewelry or kept as a collection, it is a sure-fire way to make money.

This gem is worthy of being the main item in a normal auction, given its size and perfection.

So, the starting price of the ruby ​​is 80 million US dollars.
