Professor Wang put the ancient painting back and opened another box.
The antiques in the box are all packed in sandalwood boxes, and this box alone is of antique level.
Professor Wang casually opened a box, which contained an exquisite blue and white porcelain vase, about 30 centimeters high, with a round body and smooth lines.
The surface of the blue and white porcelain vase is painted with exquisite patterns. Its beauty lies not only in its appearance, but also in its production process.
The texture of the bottle is delicate, smooth like jade and feels comfortable.
It not only has extremely high artistic value, but also has historical and cultural value.
Professor Wang opened more than a dozen boxes one by one, and found jade, jewelry, weapons, bronze, porcelain, and pottery. Professor Wang suspected that they had robbed a large tomb.
At ten o'clock in the morning, buyers began to enter the market.
Mr. Sun Hao, who had previously bought a green and yellow jade pendant with a twisted dragon pattern from Professor Wang, walked towards Professor Wang as soon as he arrived.
"Old Wang, I heard that this auction house was opened by Xiyue and someone else. Do you have any good finds today? Don't let me down!"
"Haha, don't worry, there will definitely be good stuff!"
"Then I'll wait and see."
When Professor Sun entered the venue, people he knew also arrived one after another. After exchanging a few words with Professor Wang, they took their seats.
The atmosphere at the auction was lively and the seats were packed, most of whom came because of Professor Wang's fame.
Several people at the scene had purchased items from Professor Wang.
The first item to be auctioned was the emperor's yellow and blue dragon-patterned belt.
The auctioneer walked onto the stage and briefly introduced the background and value of the antique.
"This belt is a nine-ring belt. It has been identified as one used by Emperor Xiao Jing of the Chu Dynasty, a dynasty that existed for only a few decades and has never been recorded in history.
This dynasty emerged around the Ming Dynasty and was relatively short-lived. Precisely because of its brevity, fewer artifacts have survived for scientific research, making it even more valuable historically.
The belt features a five-clawed golden dragon, embroidered with gold thread and inlaid with sapphires for its eyes. The buckle is made of pure gold and inlaid with nine blue and red sapphires. The embroidery is exquisite, and the dragon is lifelike.
"The starting price is 500 million!" As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone in the audience immediately raised a sign.
"550 million!" another voice rang out.
The price continued to rise, bidders refused to give in, and the competition was extremely fierce.
"800 million!" a gorgeously dressed lady bid without hesitation.
"850 million!" A middle-aged man followed closely behind.
The atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense, and everyone was paying attention to the changes in prices.
"1000 million!" A deep voice came from the back row, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"1100 million!" The lady bid again, showing her determination to win.
The price soared and the enthusiasm of the bidders grew.
Finally, with the auctioneer's hammer, the antique was sold for 3000 million.
"Old Sun, congratulations! Are you filming for your grandson again? What a generous gesture!"
Sun Hao laughed excitedly, "Haha, I'll save this for my grandson to play with."
General Shan was sitting in the private room, watching in amazement.
"You guys are so mean! Isn't that the emperor's worn-out belt? It's worth 3000 million! If I had known, I should have auctioned my belt too."
"Hahahaha, brother, it's not impossible. A general of a country has great weight. The items used by the general are naturally very precious." Xia Ronghai said.
The first lot has already been taken. The auctioneer stepped onto the stage and said, "Now for the second lot. It's the sword of the Great Chu Dynasty's Protector of the Nation General. It's called: Jun Bu Jian."
The general was furious. "You bastards, when did you steal my sword? Why didn't you tell me?"
Shan Ronghao touched his nose and said nothing.
Chu Moyuan sat there calmly without saying a word.
Xie Youzhi shrank back, it wasn’t him!
Xia Ronghai was a little stunned. Was the item stolen?
These kids are playing too big. I’ll talk to them later and tell them to steal a few more pieces.
Professor Wang thought that what Dan Changzhan meant was, "Don't you see, this is his collection?"
Seeing that no one admitted it, General Shan sat back down and said, "Forget it, forget it. The auction money will be used as food expenses for Rong Jie and me. We have been eating and drinking for free during this period."
Xia Ronghai thought that the meal was indeed a bit expensive!
The auctioneer continued his introduction, "Don't you see it's made of fine iron? There's no decoration on it at all. When it's unsheathed, it shines brightly with a cold light, like the roar of a dragon.
"This sword has beheaded countless enemies. If placed in a home, evil spirits will automatically retreat; it's a treasure that protects the house," the auctioneer recounted.
General Shan couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this, thinking to himself, "Humph, this kid is just bragging. It's just an old sword that has accompanied me in battle for many years."
"Starting price: 2000 million!" the auctioneer shouted. Everyone in the audience raised their paddles and bid, and the price climbed rapidly.
Shan Rongjie said loudly: "3000 million!"
General Shan glared at him and said, "You little bastard, you are rich, yet you dare to ask for 3000 million."
"Just wait and see, I will definitely make Dad's sword more valuable than the emperor's belt." Shan Rongjie said proudly.
"You little brat, aren't you talking nonsense? He wants to compete with my sword with a discarded belt?"
Everyone in the private room was stunned, and then burst into laughter.
"3500 million!"
"4000 million!"
"4500 million!"
"4800 million!"
……
In the end, it was sold at a price of 5200 million, which is enough for General Dan to live on for several generations.
The entire auction lasted nearly two hours and ended at almost 12 o'clock.
The first auction was a complete success. After dinner and a short rest, they had to return to Bincheng.
Before leaving, Chu Linzhou took Wang Xiyue's hand and said, "Xiyue, I'm going back with my uncle and the others. Do you want to go back with me?"
"No, I have to spend the New Year with Mom and Dad, and I still have a lot of things to deal with at the auction house. Be careful on your way back."
Chu Linzhou hugged Wang Xiyue gently and soon separated. "Okay, I'll leave the auction house matters to you. I'll be back after the New Year."
"Well, have a nice trip!"
After the two said goodbye, Wang Xiyue said to Xia Youan, "I said I would take you guys out to play when you come to Beijing, but you were so rushed. When you have time in the future, please give me a chance and show me your hospitality!"
"I understand, sister-in-law!" Xia Youan hugged Wang Xiyue, making her blush.
On the way back, Chu Moyuan jokingly asked, "General Shan, do you feel bad about spending 5200 million on the meal?"
"Tsk~ It's just 5200 million, what's there to be upset about? But who on earth stole my sword? How come I have no idea?"
Shan Rongjie and General Shan sat in the back row, constantly making faces in front of the mirror.
Chu Moyuan smiled and said, "I heard that General Shan doesn't want to go back?"
