Of course, if this bastard couldn't figure it out and sent someone to cause trouble in the shop, Loong Xiaoyun's outcome would be even worse.
Putting aside Wen Qin, The old man had already moved over to stay there, but with the addition of Panda Eye and Fatty, these were four entry level practitioners. Without forty to fifty people, they really wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
With this thought in mind, Sui Guan felt extremely relaxed in his heart. He didn't take Loong Xiaoyun seriously at all. He said to Tao Jing, "It's fine. As long as this kid comes here, I guarantee that he won't be able to bear the consequences."
Seeing how confident Sui Guan was, Tao Jing didn't say anything else. She continued to chat with Sui Guan about the matter of Royal Auction.
Sui Guan had only heard about the matter of the Royal Auction from his father. He really didn't have any other information about it.
After all, this auction had to be strictly confidential. It was either a membership system or a recommendation system. Only through these two methods could one participate in the auction.
A membership system, as the name implied, must be a member of the Huang Family Auction House. If one wanted to become a member, one must have a matching net worth. According to Tao Jing, the basic members of the Royal Auction House must have a net worth of more than 10 billion USD.
In this way, the strength of a member of the Royal Auction was only average.
Just an attack member must have a net worth of 10 billion USD. Above that were four levels of members.
They were Bronze members, Platinum members, Diamond members, and Star Mark members.
As for the threshold of these four levels, Tao Jing knew nothing about it. In any case, it was much more than 10 billion.
Especially the star mark members. It was said that they had reached this level. Their net worth could not be measured anymore. They had to be collectors with top antiques to be able to join.
A top-notch antique was not something that could be measured in the market. However, the Royal Auction had a standard to measure it.
The last item that was auctioned in the Royal Auction could be called a top grade antique. If any member of the Royal Auction managed to bid for five of the items that were auctioned at the last auction, they would be promoted to a member of the Starmark Guild.
As for the recommendation system, it was easier to understand. It was nothing more than a member recommending a collector to participate in this event.
The rules of the Royal Auction were much more numerous than those of ordinary auctions. However, these rules were... No one had ever broken these rules.
At this time, Sui Guan suddenly became very interested in one thing. He quickly asked Tao Jing, who was standing beside him. "By the way, what rank is Old Xie in the Royal Auction now?"
Tao Jing shook her head. "No rank."
"What? No level?" Sui Guan was shocked. "No level?"
Tao Jing explained, "Yes, because he is one of the honorary members of the Royal Auction."
Honoured member?
What the hell was this?
Sui Guan was confused for a moment. Didn't Tao Jing just say that there were only five ranks of members in the Imperial Auction? Why was there one more member now?
With this thought, he asked, "Where did this member come from?"
Tao Jing said lightly, "This title belongs to the special guests of Royal Auction. Almost all the big collectors in the world are honorary members. There are only four people in Huaxia who can get this honor."
After listening to her, Sui Guan said thoughtfully, "These four people should be the four big families of Antique World, right?"
"Yes, only this group of people can possess such strength."
The four big families of Antique World in Hua Xia were renowned across the world.
Huaxia had a long history and was one of the four famous ancient countries in the world. After the passage of time, this piece of land had lasted for five thousand years, and there was no end to the incense offerings.
In these five thousand years, countless treasures were buried under the yellow earth, causing countless collectors to come in droves.
Compared to history and antiques, no corner in the world was a match for China. Even Ancient Egypt, which had a brilliant civilization in the past BC, was no match for China. They were not even on the same level. Therefore, the four big families of China naturally occupied an important seat in the royal auction. No one dared to have any objections.
Hearing this, Sui Guan felt a sense of pride as a Chinese in his heart. Perhaps this was the inheritance from the bloodline of the Sun of Yan Huang.
After a while, Sui Guan asked, "Other than Old Xie, the other four families should also be participating in this pageant?"
"They will definitely return, because as honorary members of the Royal Auction, they must participate in every bid, regardless of whether they bid or not."
Sui Guan said excitedly. "Haha, it seems like there will be a good show to watch!"
Tao Jing said helplessly when she heard him. "Unfortunately, because I am busy with my family's matters, I am unable to leave now."
"It's fine. When I come back, I will tell you what happened. I promise you that I will let you experience it personally."
After saying that, Sui Guan smiled at Tao Jing as if he was comforting her.
"You know how to brag all day long." Tao Jing rolled her eyes at Sui Guan. What kind of experience was there to experience personally?
But she could not do anything about it. There were too many things that needed to be handed over in this family. She had no time to split up, so she could only miss this year's Royal Auction.
"I wonder why Niu Dachun asked me to accompany him to the Royal Auction."
Sui Guan suddenly had some doubts. This question had been bothering him for a long time.
Tao Jing replied, "He probably wants to rely on you to enter the Royal Auction."
"Relying on me to enter the Royal Auction, this shouldn't be possible, right? I am not a member there, how can I recommend him?" Sui Guan was puzzled.
Tao Jing looked deeply at Sui Guan and explained. "If you want to become an ordinary member of the Royal Auction, it is a very simple matter."
Sui Guan said in disbelief. "What the hell? I am a little embarrassed by what you said. My current net worth is 10 billion USD. " There's still a long way to go! "
Tao Jing smiled when she saw the disbelief on Sui Guan's face. She then explained, "Hehe, you are able to become a member not because of your wealth. "It's because of that blue and white porcelain of yours."
"My blue and white porcelain?"
At this moment, Sui Guan was even more confused. What did becoming a member of the Royal Auction have to do with his blue and white porcelain?
After Tao Jing's explanation, Sui Guan finally understood.
Apart from the two conditions mentioned before, there was another special channel that allowed him to become a member of the auction.
There was an absolute top antique on the other side. This top antique could be divided into two types, bronze or porcelain.
There were many classifications of bronze, but there was an important rule in the auction. It had to be a bronze weapon from three dynasties, and its size must not be smaller than one cubic meter.
This condition was already considered very stringent. The three dynasties were a collective name. If they were to be differentiated, Even the bronze artifacts of the three dynasties of Xia, Shang, and Shang, even the bronze artifacts of Qin and Han, could not be used. They had to be at the same time as the three dynasties in order to become members.
As for the porcelain, there were two types of atmosphere. One was the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain, and the other was the Song Dynasty's Star Transformation Bowl.
These two types of porcelain could be considered the leaders of the porcelain world. Each of them was an extremely rare treasure.
As long as one could satisfy one of the conditions, one could immediately become an ordinary member of the Royal Auction.
As for Sui Guan, as a person who collected blue and white porcelains, he naturally had the ability to become a member.
At this moment, Sui Guan's expression was somewhat excited as he said with emotion: "Damn, I didn't think that I could become a member of the Royal Auction!"
To be honest, he never thought that he would be able to enter the highest hall in the industry. This auction was the dream of Sui Guan's father for the rest of his life!
