Ancient paintings connect the present, I hoard goods to support the villain Wang

While the two were talking, Shi Xi always felt that someone was looking at them, and could vaguely hear the sound of a shutter button.

Thinking that there were many people here and it was normal for some people to take photos, Shi Xi didn't care too much.

Before the auction started, Qi Ji brought Shi Xi and followed the crowd into the banquet hall and sat on the sofa in the front row.

This is VIP treatment; everyone else can only sit on the cold bench in the back.

Although Shi Xi rarely attended such occasions, she had been a young lady for twenty years after all, and she had some understanding of the few wealthy people and entrepreneurs in Xinghai City.

She looked around and found that those who could sit in the VIP seats in the front were all the boss himself.

Sitting in the chairs at the back were all assistants in suits and ties.

The bigger the business, the more valuable their time is. For events like auctions, they can just video chat with their assistants and let the assistants attend on their behalf.

"Welcome everyone to today's auction. There are a total of 38 items on auction today, eight of which are from the Great Yong Dynasty."

"Please feel free to buy. Items from the Great Yong Dynasty have all been verified and authenticated by experts."

"Let's not waste any more time talking and start with the first treasure of today."

On the stage, as soon as the host with a slicked-back hair finished speaking, the mechanism was activated.

Like magic, a platform slowly rose from the ground of the stage, and on the platform was the first item of the day.

A blue and white porcelain vase of average quality.

The Qi family father and son, whose eyes had been dazzled by Shi Xi's exquisite antiques from the Yong Dynasty, were dismissive of the blue and white porcelain vase.

But Shi Xi, who participated for the first time, found it very interesting.

She had been observing and found that such an ordinary porcelain vase was sold at a high price of four million. It seemed that she could make a fortune again today.

……

"Dear guests, please don't blink, the first Dayong artifact is coming tonight."

"This is our seventh collection, a treasure from Jinshizhai, a glazed vase with dragon and phoenix patterns."

"Starting price: 30 million."

Because it was Boss Qi who registered Shi Xi for the auction, the name of Qijia Jinshizhai was written.

Boss Qi, who was named, stood up from his seat and waved to the people around him as if he was about to go on stage to receive an award.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the vase.

Knowing that it was Boss Qi who brought the vase, they all showed respect to the Qi family.

"The Great Yong Dynasty? This is the first time in my life that I've seen something truly from the Great Yong Dynasty!"

"The state of preservation and the patterns make it look like something from the royal family. If it weren't something from the royal family, who would dare to use the dragon and phoenix to represent auspiciousness?"

"This is simply the best of the best. Not to mention its collectible value, it will also be of great help to our future research on Dayong's history. Don't argue with me, I'm offering 50 million!"

An old man wearing white training clothes, with a large white beard and looking like an immortal, was the first to make a bid.

"No, good things can't be brought by your family, I'll pay 60 million!"

Next to him, a middle-aged man with a big belly and black-framed glasses immediately raised the price.

"As the host just said, there are eight pieces of Dayong's collection being auctioned tonight. Boss Wang, please don't argue with an old man like me."

The old man in white wanted to blackmail me morally. After he finished speaking, he added another 10 million and said loudly:

"Seventy million!"

This price is undoubtedly the highest in the market.

For several minutes, no one continued to raise the price.

The auctioneer banged the gavel and said, "Seventy million per time."

When he struck the gong for the third time, before he could even shout out "Seventy million three times," a light came on in the audience.

A young man dressed very simply, even somewhat popularly, raised the auction number plate.

He only whispered, "One hundred million."

Although the highest amount of 70 million is very close to 100 million, it is still 30 million yuan away from 100 million.

These 30 million yuan are enough for an ordinary person to work hard for several lifetimes.

His price was too high and no one continued to bid. Perhaps they couldn't afford so much, or perhaps they felt it wasn't worth it.

Soon, the auctioneer made a decision and gave the vase to him.

The young man did not leave immediately. It seemed that he wanted to buy other things.

Shi Xi was also curious about him and looked back at him.

The man wore sunglasses, a mask and a baseball cap, arming himself in all directions, for fear of being recognized.

Seeing Shi Xi turning around to look, Qi Ji also turned back out of curiosity.

"Brother Ji, can you tell who this person is?"

Shi Xi asked curiously.

Qi Ji asked in return, "He's practically wrapped himself up like a mummy. How could I tell?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ji turned around and glanced at the man again, feeling that he seemed familiar.

He called his father, "Dad, look, does this guy look like Wei Yiqiu?"

Boss Qi looked back and gave no answer. Instead, he glared at his son and warned:

"Watch the auction with peace of mind!"

When Qi Ji mentioned the name Wei Yi Qiu, Shi Xi was not unfamiliar with it.

Wei Yingchuan never married in his life and adopted a son named Wei Yiqiu.

Although she had never met Wei Yi Qiu in person, she was already familiar with him in Wei Yingchuan's circle of friends.

Wei Yingchuan seems to love his adopted son very much and often posts photos of the gifts he gave him or the things he did with his adopted son.

He also posts things like eating and traveling, which are things that father and son usually do.

Seeing that Shi Xi seemed to be lost in thought, Qi Ji advised her not to think too much.

Soon, five of Shi Xi's eight collections had been sold.

They were all vases, plates and various things made of porcelain.

The approximate price is around 100 million to 150 million.

"Next, we are going to exhibit the third to last piece of collection from the Great Yong Dynasty today—the White Jade Lotus."

This collection is a lotus shape carved from unknown white jade. It is very large and looks vivid, just like a real lotus.

The moment the exhibition started, the whole audience was boiling again.

Under the spotlight, the white jade lotus is crystal clear, as if it is pregnant with life, and it is particularly charming.

Although it is just a piece of jade carving without any other jewels to embellish it, it is enough.

The pure white color, like mutton fat, is without any impurities. Even a brush dipped in dye may not be able to depict it.

Especially when magnified several times on a large screen, the texture of the petals is carved exceptionally clearly and naturally.

"Starting price: 80 million!"

The auctioneer said a number that Shi Xi thought was very high.

But the rich people here don’t think the price is high at all.

Soon, the price of this white jade lotus was hyped up to three hundred million.

This number is almost as much as three vases. Shi Xi felt that Xiao Jingyan himself might not have expected that this thing could be so valuable.

"Light the sky lantern!"

The man who spent 100 million yuan to buy the antique vase and never made another bid suddenly showed his cards and said.

The three words "light the sky lantern" came out of his mouth easily and without a trace of emotion, just like a robot that had to complete a task.

Seeing him so arrogant, it also aroused the desire of more people to bid.

But since he has decided to light the sky lantern, no matter what the final bid is, he will buy it at a higher price.

He is determined to get this thing.

Gradually, the price of this item reached 500 million yuan. Even Boss Qi was surprised and took off his glasses, wiping his already sore skin. "Guess who bought Shi Xi's antique?"
