shock!
anger!
Ye Caijie couldn't sit still when she saw the artifacts up for auction. They had definitely come to the right place this time. Sotheby's auction did indeed include Ye Long's collection, and it was none other than Ye Long's most beloved item—a Yao Bian Tianmu tea bowl.
Although this is the only artifact from Ye Long's collection among the items auctioned this time, it has already completely overshadowed the other artifacts.
The Yao Bian Tenmoku tea bowl is a unique heirloom from the Southern Song Dynasty of China, and it is something that cannot be replicated by current techniques.
There are only four Yohen Tenmoku tea bowls in the world. The Dragon Kingdom Museum has three in its collection, and with the one being auctioned now, there are a total of four.
The value of each teacup has reached a level that is difficult to measure in monetary terms. Ye Hua actually brought this teacup to the auction, so its value may very well reach hundreds of millions.
Facing numerous bidders at a Sotheby's auction, this was undoubtedly a fierce battle.
Ye Caijie's voice trembled as she said, "As expected, Ye Hua is now willing to do anything for money, even putting the Yao Bian Tian Mu tea bowl up for auction."
"Grandpa bought this teacup from Japan for nearly 100 million yuan."
"It is my grandfather's most precious collection."
Ye Caijie grew increasingly angry as she spoke, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
When He Dazhu heard that the teacup was worth around 100 million yuan, he was completely stunned.
He had never seen anything worth 100 million in his life, and he simply couldn't believe that such a small teacup was worth 100 million.
Long Yueyin, on the other hand, appeared quite calm.
Long Yueyin had seen most of the old man's collection, and this piece was likely just the tip of the iceberg.
“Caijie, don’t be sad. Our purpose in coming here is to help the old man retrieve his collection.”
"No matter what, we will definitely get back the old man's collection."
With everything ready, the auctioneer began to introduce the first artifact to everyone.
Soon the auctioneer introduced the first item up for auction—a painting of eagles and plum blossoms by Bada Shanren.
After the auctioneer finished his introduction, he also announced the starting price, which was a whopping three million.
However, the starting bid of eight million did not scare the people in the venue, after all, the bidders who could afford to sit here were not ordinary people.
"Brother Jie, this is the picture I want."
"I immediately fell in love with this painting by Bada Shanren when I attended the preview the day before yesterday."
"Isn't it my birthday in a few days? Didn't you say you were going to give me a present?"
Su Ningxue, sitting next to Shen Jie, said coquettishly.
Su Ningxue is the top streamer on the Douyu live streaming platform, and Shen Jie went through a lot of trouble to win her over.
Although he has now obtained her, Shen Jie's ultimate goal has not yet been achieved, which is to get Su Ningxue into bed.
Shen Jie has now given Su Ningxue countless high-end luxury goods, but Su Ningxue's tightly closed door is like an insurmountable barrier, blocking the way of the eldest son of the Shen family.
Shen Jie's purpose in coming this time was also to see the mysterious artifacts that were not displayed at the preview.
Moreover, Shen Jie had already learned through connections that this mysterious artifact was the Yohen Tenmoku tea bowl, which was regarded as a national treasure by the Japanese.
If Shen Jie were to buy this treasure and give it to his grandfather, and his grandfather were so pleased, then what he would receive would be far more than just a simple Yao Bian Tian Mu tea bowl.
What Shen Jie will get is the entire Shen Jie Company.
Shen Jie now wants both the teacup and Su Ningxue.
Anyway, the starting price for this famous painting isn't very high right now, and Shen Jie is quite confident in his financial resources.
Then, he slapped Su Ningxue's round, beautiful buttocks with one hand and said with a lewd look, "Want it? Then I'll buy it for you."
Five million!!!
Shen Jie raised his arm and immediately offered a high price of five million.
Su Ningxue immediately smiled happily.
Compared to the luxury goods that foreigners use to manipulate Chinese people, Su Ningxue prefers these cultural relics that can retain their value.
When Shen Jie has had his fill of playing with me and kicks me to the curb, at least I'll still get a famous painting, so it won't be a complete loss.
The other streamers in the private room immediately envied Su Ningxue. It was different to have hooked up with Young Master Shen from Yunxi Province; he could spend five million with a wave of his hand.
In another private room, He Dazhu quickly heard Wu Baiwan's voice coming from Shen Jie, and through the Xuan Tian Divine Eye, he saw Shen Jie embracing a beautiful woman and doing something forbidden.
He Dazhu suddenly felt nauseous.
He Dazhu then let out a cold laugh.
"Since you want to play, Shen Jie, I'll play along."
"Anyway, I'm just playing around, but you're serious, so you're the one who will lose."
"Eight million!!!"
He Dazhu quoted a price.
"He Dazhu, what are you doing?"
"Are you crazy?"
Have you forgotten why we came here?
Ye Caijie said somewhat angrily.
He Dazhu leaned back on the sofa with his hands behind his back and said leisurely, "Sister Caijie, don't be in such a hurry."
"Since we're here, let's have some fun. Anyway, our ultimate goal is your grandfather's teacup."
"As for the other cultural relics, we'll just treat them as toys."
What if no one follows up with a quote after you've given your price?
"Ten million!!!"
Shen Jie's voice came again.
When the offer of ten million was announced, the entire venue fell silent.
Although the audience consisted of prominent figures from China, the fact that the initial offer was for tens of millions was still difficult for many to accept.
Upon hearing the offer, Su Ningxue could hardly contain her joy.
He didn't care that Shen Jie's restless hands were crawling all over his body.
Anyway, Su Ningxue's original purpose in becoming a streamer was to make a fortune right now.
He Dazhu's hearing and vision are now several times better than the average person.
He Dazhu had overheard Shen Jie's conversation in the private room, and there was no way He Dazhu would let Shen Jie have his way.
"Sister Caijie, look, someone immediately followed us, didn't they?"
"There are quite a few wealthy people here, don't panic. They might not even care about ten million."
Soon He Dazhu started quoting prices again.
"Twelve million!!!"
shock!
I'm totally confused!
Petrification!
The people in the venue were immediately stunned.
It seems that quite a few important figures have attended today's auction.
Shen Jie, inside the private room, stopped what he was doing out of anger.
"Damn it, there are actually people who dare to go against me in Yunxi Province!"
"Do you not want to live anymore?"
"It's probably that He Dazhu from earlier," Lu Liguang said from the side.
"He Dazhu!!!" Shen Jie gritted his teeth in hatred.
