Chapter 174 Bronze Jue with Animal Face Pattern
Chapter 174 Bronze Jue with Animal Face Pattern
The first auction started with antique utensils.
“…Antiques and cultural relics are living fossils of human civilization, bearing the wisdom, skills, and vicissitudes of history of our ancestors. Every artifact, whether it is a simple ceramic, a solemn bronze, or an exquisite piece of ancient furniture, has immeasurable value.
They are messengers of time, bearing ancient messages that have traveled through millennia to reach us. Here, we are about to witness these precious relics find a new home, continuing their legend..."
On the stage, the auctioneer spoke passionately, and the items to be auctioned were placed on the table one by one, and the staff carefully lifted the curtains covering them.
Gu Xiqing waved to the waiter to come over and asked her to bid on the bronze jar with animal face patterns on the table.
"Twenty-seven and a half million at a time!"
Someone bid before Gu Xiqing, and the auctioneer on the stage excitedly knocked the hammer.
"Twenty-seven and a half million for the second time!"
The people in the audience lowered their heads and whispered to each other, hesitating whether to follow the filming or not.
"Thirty million at a time!"
Suddenly, the auctioneer shouted excitedly, and there were gasps of surprise in the audience.
"Thirty million for the second time!"
The hammer came down heavily, and the first bidder followed suit, "Thirty-three million!"
The cheers that had just died down burst out again, and the enthusiasm of the people at the scene was once again completely ignited, and they kept cheering and shouting.
Who are these two people competing against each other? Is this how money is spent?
Gu Xiqing frowned. Who was confronting her?
"Thirty-three million for the second time..." This time, the auctioneer slowed down his voice and slowly lowered the hammer in his hand.
The waiter glanced at Gu Xiqing cautiously.
"Let's switch to the next one." Shen Xiang held Gu Xiqing's hand, "I think the other side did it on purpose."
"Thirty-six million." Gu Xiqing looked at the waiter and asked her to give a price.
She must have this. She had heard about it from her second uncle before. He had always regretted that his private museum lacked this.
This bronze jar with animal face pattern is the only one of its kind and is very rare. Giving it to him... is to let him know that her uncle helped her and she will not forget his kindness and will repay him to the best of her ability.
She still knew some of the things that the Du family said. She had heard them at a drinking party before, but she was not a direct relative of theirs, so she didn't care that much.
At that time, I never thought about how much my uncle had endured for her alone. Now that I think about it... I was so stupid to block out all the people around me who were kind to her for the sake of a man.
The waiter finally relaxed his nerves and, with trembling hands, pressed the button and spoke to the auctioneer, "Thirty-six million."
The auctioneer was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and put on a beautiful smile. "It seems that our bronze beast-faced jar is very popular. Thirty-six million per round!"
The person filming fell silent.
"Thirty-six million for the second time!"
Still no one continued to bid, Gu Xiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thirty-six million for the third time!!"
The small wooden hammer fell heavily, and the bronze beast-faced jar successfully became Gu Xiqing's property.
Shen Xiang was puzzled. Why spend so much money on such a film? It's just a face-saving effort. After all, people who appreciate it will be happy if you give them a dollar gift. If they don't appreciate it, they will be dismissive even if you move the whole world to them.
Gu Xiqing smiled and said nothing.
