"In addition, the British Museum, the Louvre Museum, the Guimet Museum and the Hermitage Museum also have several paintings of the Water Moon Guanyin from the Tang, Five Dynasties and Song dynasties unearthed from the Dunhuang Caves."

"So, this gilded bronze Guanyin statue is probably worth around 330 million to 380 million."

Lin Han said again.

"So if that's what you said, then at what point should I stop?"

Mr. Zhou asked.

"As for the upper limit of the price, it depends on the historical value of this Guanyin statue. In the Tang Dynasty, there appeared a statue of Putuo Luojia Guanyin, which was very different in style from the solemn Guanyin statue."

"Different Guanyin statues naturally represent different artistic conceptions. Both types of Guanyin statues were extremely popular during the Tang Dynasty."

"This type of image of Putuo Luojia Guanyin statue comes from the Avatamsaka Sutra, Entering the Dharma Realm Chapter. Guanyin sits on a rock in a natural and comfortable posture, showing his image of living in the Luojia Valley."

"The painter Suho, who lived in the late 8th century, created the Water Moon Guanyin based on the image of Putuo Luojia Guanyin, with water, moon, round light, bamboo and the four-dimensional Guanyin as the main elements."

"Water Moon Guanyin can be divided into two basic styles. The most common style in cave statues and cave murals is one with one hand on the knee, holding nothing. The other is the image of holding a willow branch and a pure bottle, which is often seen in silk paintings."

"Therefore, different Guanyin statues have different specifications, if we look at the craftsmanship, materials and historical value behind this gilded bronze Guanyin statue."

"Then the upper limit price of this gilded bronze Guanyin statue will be more than 400 million, and may even exceed 450 million."

"But, based on my judgment, I think you can stop at around 430 million."

"If you still want to raise the price, it's not impossible, but there are some risks."

Lin Han said to Mr. Zhou.

"Then I think I understand."

Master Zhou nodded thoughtfully. Lin Han's detailed analysis gave him a rough idea in his mind.

The bargaining phase ends and the auction phase begins.

The treasure appraisers from Zhou and Bai's families all revealed their prices.

Lin Han's quotation board stated that the price was between 330 million and 380 million. Master Luo's quotation board was almost the same as Lin Han's, between 340 million and 370 million.

Master Jin's quotation board reads 320 million to 340 million, while Master Bai's quotation board reads 330 million to 350 million.

The four appraisers have different prices and they all have their own ideas. They are not easily influenced by others.

Of course, the appraisers who can reach this stage have much higher psychological and physical qualities than ordinary appraisers.

Although Master Bai and Master Jin were just affected by Lin Han, after Mr. Bai's questioning and with the adjustment of time, they quickly reconciled themselves.

Even though there is still a little shadow of Lin Han in their hearts, it no longer has much impact on them.

"Oh no! This time, Master Zhou might have to take back his second advantage."

When Master Luo saw the price Lin Han guessed, he couldn't help but look panicked.

"What's the meaning?"

Master Bai and Master Jin asked in unison before they could react.

"Lin Han's offer is between 330 million and 380 million, with a fluctuation of 50 million. However, the upper limit price will definitely not be within this range."

"And the advice we just gave Mr. Bai was to ask him to stop when the amount was over 400 million so that he could better prepare for the final treasure appraisal auction."

"If Young Master Zhou had won this match, perhaps our advantage wouldn't have been that great."

Master Luo speculated on the direction of the next move and said.

"Not necessarily. The matter has not been finalized yet. Besides, the final price that Lin Han gave to Mr. Zhou is not the upper limit that we cannot estimate. Everything is possible."

Master Bai comforted.

"That would be best. If Master Zhou wins this round and fails to make up the difference in the first round, we will have to concentrate on the last round!"

Master Luo said after a small sigh.

"It's okay. Xiaobai is not a careless person and has his own judgment."

Master Bai continued to comfort him.

You can't panic at this stage. If you panic, no matter whether there are any mistakes in this round or not, it will affect the result of the last round. The last round is the final battle, and there must be no mistakes.

Master Luo is the one with the best judgment and treasure appraisal ability among them, and he is extremely important. He carries the victory on his shoulders, so it is even less likely that he will make a mistake.

According to what Master Bai and the others really think, Lin Han's ability to appraise treasures is slightly higher than theirs, although they do not admit this fact on the surface.

However, he had already accepted his own idea in his heart, otherwise he would not have thought that Master Luo must not make any mistakes in this link.

If it were Master Ye, even if Master Luo was not there, they would have the confidence that Young Master Bai would be able to win this treasure appraisal auction.

But Lin Han is different. Master Bai and Master Jin have witnessed his abilities. Only Master Luo can match him on equal terms.

After Mr. Bai and Mr. Zhou walked into the auction room, the auction officially began.

"Ninety-five million!"

Mr. Zhou took the lead in raising the price directly to nearly 100 million yuan.

"One hundred and fifty million."

Naturally, Mr. Bai was not willing to be outdone and raised the price as usual.

"One hundred and sixty million!"

"One hundred and eighty-seven million!"

"Two hundred and thirty million!"

"Two hundred and forty-five million!"

The bidding between Mr. Zhou and Mr. Bai was very fierce, and neither was willing to give in.

It was almost always one party that made the call and the other followed closely, not giving the other party any chance to think or catch their breath.

Of course, this is exactly the effect they want. Only with such a fast pace can they suppress the opponent in mental judgment.

As long as the pace is fast enough, the other party will not be able to think of a suitable price to bid in a short time.

It may be okay in normal times, but if you panic and your brain cannot react in time or cannot make enough judgment, resulting in misjudgment, it is very likely to affect the final result.

Mr. Zhou and Mr. Bai are both leaders in the business field. They naturally understand this truth. Using psychological tactics to defeat opponents is one of their must-have rules.

Amid fierce bidding, the price was quickly raised to over 300 million yuan, with every second counting.

"Three hundred and thirty million!"

Mr. Zhou raised the price by 30 million without hesitation.

"Three hundred and forty-five million!"

Mr. Bai slowed down the price increase a little, no longer raising the price by tens of millions at one time like before.

"Three hundred and fifty million!"

It had reached 350 million, which was almost the price point that Lin Han had mentioned. Naturally, Mr. Zhou did not dare to increase the price too much.
