Chapter 529: People Are Stupid and Have a Lot of Money (Chapter 3)
"Since the thirteenth treasure has been attributed, let's continue to look at the fourteenth treasure, which is a pair of bracelets from the Song Dynasty, made of glass. ”
"Such a pair of bracelets are now sold on the market for at least eight or nine million. Plus this is a cultural relic, the value is different. ”
"This pair of bracelets starts at 20 million, and each bid cannot be less than 1 million, and the highest price wins. ”
Seeing that everyone's attention was taken back from the shock brought by Wu Di, the host picked up the microphone and chattered to announce the start of the next round of bidding.
"Twenty-five million. ”
"Twenty-seven million. ”
"Thirty million. ”
Except for some collectors who were interested, the rest were the beautiful ladies present.
Women have a soft spot for jewelry, and if it is collectible, it is even more popular with them.
......
After Wu Di got the Tianxing that he had coveted for a long time, he directly cocked Erlang's legs and chatted slowly, ignoring how fierce the competition was among the people above.
Whether it is the four treasures of the study and the decorations, it is not important to him at all.
Those are the things that were used by the ancestors, and in addition to being used for collection and commemoration, the practicality is almost equal to zero.
All Wu Di has to do now is wait for the auction to end and leave the scene, and by the way, it would be better to find out the guy who wanted to kill him.
......
"The auction has come to an end, and there are only the last seven treasures left, and friends who have not yet grabbed their favorite treasures have to take a closer look. ”
The auction went on for a while, and the host announced that only the last seven items remained.
In addition to reminding guests, it can also make those who haven't grabbed a treasure feel psychological pressure, and can't wait to get something back.
You can't come all the way here and be someone else's spectator, right?
Coupled with the fact that there is not much left, then the price is bound to be very high, at least 30% higher than the previously estimated premium.
Unless it's ridiculously high, someone will always be willing to buy something, and that's the auction trick.
......
"This is a classical book, belonging to the annals of the Western Han Dynasty, from 139 A.D., six years before the famous author of the "Historical Records" Sima . Sima Qian was born six years later, and spent his whole life creating the historical record. ”
The host pointed to the tray held by the two hostesses and slowly explained to the crowd.
In the tray are bundles of thin wooden notes, which are very much in line with the way things were recorded at that time.
"Wow-"
Hearing this, everyone present was in an uproar, and their faces were all full of shock.
They never expected that the organizer would be able to provide Wu Zixu's sword before his death this time, and they could even find out the annals that were earlier than Sima Qian's birth.
This...... This is simply amazing!
Even the indifferent Wu Enemy also focused his attention on the stage at this moment, and his eyes were full of surprise.
He was trying to learn some knowledge about the Western Han Dynasty, and even figure out what the Linghe was referring to.
Many historical works have been wiped out in the artillery fire of time and the battlefield, and what is now left for future generations to watch is the translated version of later generations, and it is not known whether it is accurate or not, and even some famous works can only be compiled by relying on the memory of later generations, and the original works cannot be found at all.
The "Historical Records" is no longer a historical record just compiled by Sima Qian, and it is only recorded by wooden handwriting, at least several houses must be piled up.
"It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there!" Wu Di hadn't thought of any way to find the most primitive things about the Western Han Dynasty at that time, but he didn't expect that a history book recording many things would appear here.
Once it is recorded in the history books, it will definitely record a lot of things about that dynasty.
"Hahaha-" Wu Di thought of this, and he was so happy that he wanted to laugh.
It seems that this time I came all the way to Jingzhou to attend the party, which is the right time!
......
"Although the annals are not as famous as Sima Qian's works, and even many of the contents are recorded in the "Historical Records", they are still very valuable because they are more than 2,000 years old. ”
The host took the microphone and chattered, "A lot of the content on the notebook has been corroded by time and is difficult to see, but it's still very good to make a collection." Now I announce the price of the annals of history, starting at 20 million, and each increase cannot be less than 1 million. ”
"Twenty million? You're not mistaken, right?"
"It's crazy to think about money for such a book worth such a book of wood that is about to rot to start at 20 million. ”
"Sima Qian's historical records have summarized and covered all the previous historical content, at most it is just a souvenir, and it is so expensive that you can buy a pair of authentic calligraphy and paintings of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"The organizers must have deliberately raised the price under the psychological pressure of most people wanting to snatch a treasure. ”
When the host announced the reserve price of the auction, countless people shook their heads and accused the price of being too expensive, believing that the host was deliberately squeezing people.
More than ten seconds passed, and there was still no one bidding, which made the host on the stage very embarrassed for a while.
"Twenty-one million. ”
After another dozen seconds, a gray-haired old man quoted at the lowest price, hoping to win this set of history.
When the host heard someone quote, the color on his face softened a lot, and he hurriedly asked if there was anyone higher.
"Forty million!"
At this time, Wu Di held up the bidding card and increased the price by almost 20 million in one go, completely strangling all the guys who had ideas about the annals of history and wanted to test them in their minds.
"Wow-"
As soon as Wu Di's words came out, everyone looked at him again, and their faces were full of dissatisfaction.
"Who is this guy who opened the treasure donkey? Last time, I added 60 million in one breath, and this time I added 19 million, completely killing all those who had ideas, and it looked like I was determined to win. ”
"Damn, a pile of wood that is about to rot, and someone even offered 40 million, isn't it stupid?"
"That is, if you don't store it well when you go back, maybe a weather change can turn these 40 million into a ball of powder, which is really stupid and has a lot of money. ”
Everyone laughed again and again, and expressed their incomprehension of Wu's behavior.
"Forty-one million. When the white-haired old man saw Wu Di standing up to bid, his face instantly became extremely ugly, and he even glanced at Wu Di with resentment.
He gritted his teeth and quoted another price.
"Sixty million!"
Wu Di didn't say a word, and directly added 19 million, as if I was a local tyrant and who I was afraid of.
"Wow-"
Hearing this, everyone present showed an uproar again, and their eyes when they looked at Wu Di changed, as if they were looking at a neurotic.
60 million to buy a mess of fast-rotting notes, and the content of the "Historical Records" is available, and it is more complete than it, and it is sick to buy this thing out of the brain.
If calculated by collectibles, this annals are definitely not worth 5 million.
"Sixty-one million!"
What's even more unexpected is that Wu Di is stupid, and there is an old man who is stupid and refuses to show weakness when he raises the price.
