Yun Na announced from the stage that the afternoon auction had officially begun.
During the impassioned march, Lin Anshi walked onto the stage in high spirits. He did not know that his originally drunk and hazy body had already been treated by Li Yun's Celestial Power. He would be able to live for at least five more years.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. We are now entering the most exciting part of the auction. The auction item is called the Warm Jade Bed. After my initial appraisal, I found that it was carved from a piece of soft jade. There was no splicing, no inlay, and it was completely formed from nature.
The jade carving was three meters long, two meters wide and 65 centimeters tall. It was entirely white without any flaws. The starting price was RMB 2 billion. Interested friends can come on stage and take a closer look. " Lin Anshi extended an invitation to the audience.
2 billion was a sky-high price that had already blocked out 90% of the audience. Among the remaining people, there were still some that weren't interested in the jade, so only five or six people had raised their hands to request for it.
Lin Anshi's eyes swept across the crowd and said to the five or six people: "All of you come up together, prepare your own magnifying glasses."
Suddenly, a burst of relaxed laughter came from the audience. Those five to six people impatiently went up onto the stage, and under Li Yun's hints, five to six 1500 watts of computer light from the overhead lamp rack shot a beam of white light onto the warm jade bed. Under the light, the warm jade bed suddenly became transparent, and its entire body emitted a dazzling white light.
"Wow." Many people only hated that they did not have enough financial resources, so they all knew in their hearts that no matter what the final price was today, the price of a warm jade bed would rise a lot after the auction on the basis of its original price, because it was so perfect and so unique.
Such a large piece of soft jade, if it was made into a bracelet, it would cost at least one hundred thousand yuan. Such a large piece of soft jade, if it was made into a bracelet, it would cost at least one hundred thousand yuan. It was a rare sight in this world, not to mention the inscriptions carved on it were vivid and lifelike. With such exquisite skill, no master's work could compare to it.
After the appraisal from five or six master level jewelry businessmen, everyone agreed that the jade was exquisite and lifelike. With a starting price of 2 billion, it was simply sold cheaply. Several jewelry businessmen simultaneously shot a grateful look at Lin Anshi.
One had to know that if Lin Anshi raised the price a little bit more, they wouldn't even have the chance to get a closer look. They could only be like the audience below the stage, drooling as they watched from the sidelines.
After everyone had finished appraising, Lin Anshi smiled and said to the six of them, "Do you think we should auction it in a small scale, or do you think we should auction it together like this morning?"
At this moment, a cold ridicule came from below the stage: "This is a public auction of Donner Auction Exchange, why is it that Old Man Lin, as the host, actually has the authority to change the auction process?"
Lin Anshi's face turned red when he heard the voice. Looking towards the source of the voice, he saw that the person who spoke was Hailanjie's Wang Hailan. At this moment, she was also flushing red with anger.
Lin Anshi was an experienced man, he immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake with a smile, "I am old and foolish, my words are indeed Meng Lang. Please forgive me, Miss Hailan. I was just joking and did not take it seriously."
Of course, Wang Hailan had her reasons for being furious. For the whole morning's auction, she had been like a soy sauce, not taking even one of the three treasures. The three fellows who usually followed her words actually did not give her any face today. He discovered that out of the four treasures, there was only one left. To his surprise, he found that he was unable to afford this treasure with his capital.
In a moment of desperation, he contacted his cousin Wang Haitao. Who knew that due to the high value of the items being auctioned, the international conference center had implemented a level two security system. Even Wang Haitao, who had always appeared on TV, was blocked by security on the first floor and was not allowed to go upstairs.
Wang Hailan had just eaten a few mouthfuls when she had to leave the table and go downstairs to pick up her cousin. Who knew that even if Wang Hailan had a ticket card, the hotel security would still refuse to let her bring Wang Haitao in.
Helplessly, Wang Hailan used her ultimate move. She used money to pave the way for Wang Haitao, accompanying him with a smile and tipping him heavily all the way to the auction site.
At this time, the lunch had already ended and she was no longer fated with such delicious food. The six jewellers who were invited had already begun their appraisal on the stage.
Wang Hailan was speechless as she looked at the table that had been changed into candied fruits and tea. She could not help but sigh in her heart. With so many top-notch delicacies gathered at one table, such an opportunity was not something that could be found with money.
While he was feeling vexed, he heard something. Lin Anshi wanted to reduce the whole auction to just these six jewelry businessmen. How could he bear it? Therefore, it was unfair to mock Lin Anshi.
Fortunately, Lin Anshi was a sensible person and immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake. Only then did he settle this serious conflict.
At this time, Wang Hailan's resentment was so high that she had no place to vent it. She said to Wang Haitao in a delicate voice, "Brother Haitao, let's go up and have a look as well. If it's really worth 2 billion, we will not give up on this auction."
Lin Anshi was about to refuse, but he had to do something wrong first. He waved his hand with a wry smile and said, "May I ask Miss Wang Hailan and Mr. Wang Haitao to come on stage and examine this jade carving."
After Wang Hailan and Wang Haitao had carefully evaluated the bed, Wang Haitao, who had straightened up his back, politely reached out his hand for the microphone and said to Lin Anshi, "According to my assessment, this warm jade bed is indeed carved from a piece of soft jade. There are no defects or cracks on the whole, and it is a rare treasure that only appears once in a hundred years.
With that, he haughtily held Wang Hailan's hand and walked off the stage. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the dumbstruck six jewelry businessmen standing at the side, and even let out a light snort.
