"Then there is an intermission, where everyone can enjoy the meals and drinks prepared by our staff, all provided free of charge by our organizers." The host saw that the auction was already halfway through, and arranged for the staff to serve some desserts and drinks prepared in advance.

It is said that the organizers will hold dozens of antique auctions in a row in the next six months, and they have worked hard to attract more people's attention and make the people who come to participate in the auction have a comfortable experience.

"Everyone, be quiet, during the intermission, our organizers will also auction off one or two gadgets." The host looked at the curious expressions of the people below, paused and then continued: "These things are bought from some antique collectors at a suitable price, but because they have never seen anything like this, our four experts cannot provide you with valuable references, and everything needs to be tasted by everyone present." ”

"Next, we have asked our hostess to present the first lot, a bronze ring that I don't know the age of, and has never appeared before." The host's wording is also very careful, not only does he not disclose the purchase price, but also does not use flowery rhetoric to package, and says with a smile: "Please invite our hostess." ”

As the host's voice fell, a sweet-looking lady wearing a cheongsam, about 1.7 meters tall, held a delicate tray and showed the bronze ring that did not know the age and had no reference standard to the audience in different directions on the rostrum.

"The starting price of this bronze ring is 10,000 yuan, and the price increase cannot be less than 1,000 yuan each time, and the auction will start now." The host saw that the audience below all stretched their necks and rushed to witness the copper ring, and quoted the auction price of the copper ring.

This copper ring is really ordinary and can not be more ordinary, if it is not for the host to say that it is a copper ring, almost no one can see that it is still copper, there is no patina on the surface, there is no meaningful light, and even the soil on it has not been washed very clean, if it is not taken out for auction on this occasion today, I believe that even if it is thrown on the side of the road, some people will think it is dirty and unwilling to bend down to pick it up.

Although the bidders in the auction hall rushed to witness this copper ring, none of them were willing to make an offer, and some even bet there to see if there was a fool willing to pay 10,000 yuan to buy this broken copper ring that did not know the authenticity and had no age.

"Lu Yao, buy it, although this thing looks dilapidated, it still has some effect." Leaving the frontier appeared in Lu Yao's sea of knowledge without warning, and said softly.

"Master, do you recognize this bronze ring?" Lu Yao was puzzled, how could such an ordinary thing make Lijiang interested, and couldn't help asking.

"That's not really, it's just that this bronze ring is not an ordinary copper ring, you can try to walk forward, get to a point where your divine sense can touch the copper ring, you release your divine consciousness and try to wrap it." Lijiang said with a smile.

Since it was intermission at this time, many people in the venue left their seats to go to the bathroom or walked around casually to chat with old acquaintances, so Lu Yao slowly approached the booth and did not attract people's attention.

Lu Yao found an empty seat five or six meters away from the bronze ring and sat down, closed his eyes, and slowly poured his divine consciousness towards the copper ring on the booth like a tide.

Strange things have happened, Lu Yao has also done things like using his divine sense to detect a thing a few times in the past, it is all to practice the sensitivity and extension distance of his divine sense, you can feel his hard texture when you wrap the stone, you can feel the vitality when you wrap the living small animal, and when you wrap an unopened package, you can peek into what is inside, but this time when Lu Yao wrapped the copper ring, it was like a small pebble thrown into the ocean. I didn't feel any presence at all, as if the ring wasn't there at all.

Did someone touch that bronze ring?

Lu Yao was completely shocked, he withdrew his sense, rubbed his eyes and looked at the copper ring on the platform, and found that the copper ring was still there, and it had not been taken away at all. Lu Yao closed his eyes again and tried with his divine sense, but the result of this attempt was still the same, he knew that he only understood at this time, why Lijiang would let him buy this copper ring, it turned out that this copper ring was really not an ordinary copper ring, even if he didn't know what was going on until his current position.

Lu Yao heard the host on the stage say again: "You are all masters in the antique world, is there really no one who knows this thing, are you willing to spend a mere 10,000 yuan to buy it?" ”

The host's voice fell, and I could only hear a very professionally dressed woman in the front row say: "This thing is simply an ordinary copper ring that can't be more ordinary, not to mention that even the well-informed Dean Chen can't tell its origin, who is willing to pay money to buy such a gadget, our money can be used to donate to charity, but it won't be wasted on this kind of worthless thing, everyone says no!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes, we can donate money to charity, and we will never buy something that makes no sense."

"It's just that it's not easy for anyone to make money these days, and no one's money is blown by the wind."

“……”

Although the host's face was a little ugly when he heard these discussions, he was not angry, because he himself thought so, but at this time, there was one person in the entire auction hall who was very happy, that is, Lu Yao, he understood that everyone said this, then no one was willing to pay for the bidding, so that he could easily get this bronze ring at a low price.

However, Lu Yao is not in a hurry to bid, although it is the first time to participate in the auction, but he still understands some of the rules inside, the auction time of a lot is about five minutes, if no one is willing to bid within five minutes, then this lot is considered a failed auction, but if someone bids in the first second before the unsuccessful auction, then the probability of him winning is still very high, because many people basically don't have much time to think about it after you become a monk, and after the host asks three times, you are considered successful.

Lu Yao was waiting, four and a half minutes had passed now, and as long as he held on for more than twenty seconds, he was about to make a move.

"Finally, ask again, this bronze ring starts with 10,000 yuan, if someone is willing to auction and ask for a bid, if there is no one to bid, then it will be considered a failed auction, and we will start the display of the next lot." The host still said a word.

After all, although the commission this time was used to donate to charity, as the host who was invited, he did not auction a single lot, and the profit he obtained increased by 2,000 yuan, and no one wanted to get along with his own money.

"Let's move on to the next lot."

"This bronze ring is still waiting for someone who is destined, don't waste everyone's time today!"

“……”

"I'll pay 10,000 to buy this thing!" Lu Yao finally made a move.

The moment Lu Yao's words fell, the originally noisy auction hall suddenly quieted down, so quiet that even a needle falling on the ground could be clearly heard by people in every corner. Everyone cast surprised glances at Lu Yao.

When everyone saw clearly that it was a very young boy who made the bid, the surprise in their eyes turned into sympathy, none of them had ever seen Lu Yao, and since he had never bid before, no one believed that the knowledge would be richer than Dean Chen, and no one would believe that he would be the kind of person with a lot of money and heartburn, but when he made such a move, no one would think that he was a shrewd person.

When the host heard someone bidding, he just glanced at Lu Yao casually, and immediately began to raise the gavel in his hand as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and began to ask the audience: "This gentleman bid 10,000 yuan, is there anyone willing to increase the price, if no one is willing to increase the price, this mysterious copper ring will belong to this gentleman." ”

Regardless of whether you have taken the wrong medicine or not, he will be very happy as long as someone bids, and he raised the gavel in his hand and shouted to everyone in the audience: "Ten thousand yuan for the first time." ”

"Ten thousand yuan for the second time!"

"10,000 yuan for the third time, let us congratulate this gentleman on finally winning this mysterious bronze ring at a low price of 10,000 yuan, let us applaud and congratulate this gentleman." The host lowered the gavel in his hand with a smile on his face, and with a muffled sound, the copper ring that seemed to him to be no different from garbage was auctioned off.

After the host finished speaking, Lu Yao stood up and nodded to the host, and there was sparse applause in the auction hall, because no one went back to envy Lu Yao for auctioning this bronze ring at a low price, but there were more people who watched the jokes.

After Lu Yao finished photographing the bronze ring, the etiquette lady walked towards him, very politely sent the copper ring and a wooden card to Lu Yao's hands, and then left.

The copper ring does not require too many verbose procedures for the lot that makes the organizer hopeless, although it is not a one-hand payment and a hand-to-hand delivery, but no one will worry about being taken away secretly, the wooden card that Lu Yao got is the lot number of this copper ring, and when the auction is over, you just need to take this wooden card to the backstage to go through the formalities.

When the bronze ring was in hand, Lu Yao didn't have the heart to pay attention to the next auction at all, he immediately took the copper ring in his hand and started to play.
