Then, in front of everyone, he peeled the orange and carefully placed the golden segments of orange flesh into the Song Dynasty Ge ware bowl, which was worth three million.
After doing all this, she picked up a segment of orange, held it to Qin Ye's lips, and smiled sweetly: "Honey, try it, this bowl is full of sweetness."
"puff--"
This is an utter disgrace! This is absolutely an utter disgrace!
Su Tang and Qin Ye, on the other hand, have completely cemented their status as the number one suckers.
The subsequent auction turned into a complete personal show for the couple.
Upon seeing a Xuande incense burner from the Ming Dynasty, Su Tang said, "Honey, let's buy this for you to use as an ashtray."
Qin Ye: "Five million! Take it!"
Su Tang said of a Qing Dynasty Hetian jade ruyi, "This looks quite nice. I'll buy it to scratch my itch."
Qin Ye: "Eight million! Take it!"
As long as it's a cultural relic from the Dragon Kingdom, no matter what it is or how much others offer, Qin Ye always crushes it with an outrageously high price.
The entire auction was completely disrupted. The collectors who genuinely wanted to collect the items, as well as the businessmen who wanted to buy them and resell them for a profit, were furious but helpless.
Who can compete with two lunatics who burn money like paper?
Especially the faces of several Japanese merchants, led by Yamamoto, were so dark they looked like ink could drip from them.
They watched helplessly as treasures from the Dragon Kingdom, which could have been resold for huge profits, were snatched away by that vulgar couple with ridiculous reasons and insulting prices, their hearts bleeding.
Finally, one of the final items to be auctioned was brought out.
It was a pipa, made entirely of precious rosewood, with mother-of-pearl inlaid on the body. Although it was somewhat damaged, its former splendor and exquisite craftsmanship were still evident.
"A Tang Dynasty mother-of-pearl inlaid rosewood five-stringed pipa!" The auctioneer's voice trembled slightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a unique piece! It is the only known five-stringed pipa in the world! It bears witness to the glory of the Tang Dynasty and is a living fossil of music! This fragment was painstakingly acquired from an old European nobleman, and its value is immeasurable! Starting bid: ten million!"
Yamamoto's breathing became rapid instantly, and his eyes blazed with an unprecedentedly fervent light.
He came here specifically for this item! If he can get it and resell it to the customer who reserved this treasure, he can earn ten million. All the humiliation he endured today will be worth it!
He took a deep breath, ready to do whatever it takes.
But just then, the woman's voice rang out again.
“Honey,” Su Tang tilted her head, looking at the pipa, “this one looks really weird. Can it play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? I think it would look pretty nice to hang on the wall as a decoration.”
Upon hearing this, Yamamoto felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and a rush of blood to his head.
Play...play the little star?
What do you take these Tang Dynasty national treasures for?!
"Great!" Qin Ye nodded decisively, then raised the sign, his voice still calm and arrogant, "Thirty million."
Tripled again!
Yamamoto suddenly stood up, staring intently at Qin Ye, and squeezed out the words through gritted teeth: "Thirty-one million!"
Qin Ye didn't even glance at him, and slowly raised his sign: "Fifty million."
"You're insane! You're a madman!" Yamamoto trembled with rage, pointing at Qin Ye and yelling, "You have no idea of its value! You're desecrating art!"
Qin Ye finally turned his gaze to him, "It's my money, I can spend it however I want. Is it any of your business?"
"Or are you out of money? If you're out of money, sit down and don't keep me from buying toys for my wife."
"Baka!"
