I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

The purpose of Ji Sheng's visit today is very clear, it is for Master Beihong's picture of a horse. After seeing his goal, he took the lead and walked towards the second hall of the auction.

In fact, two days before the auction, there were bids on display, but Ji Sheng was busy in those two days and didn't come over, so he just glanced at them today.

Anyway, he only has one goal, so he can't waste much time.

In the second hall.

To Ji Sheng's surprise, Li Kai also came in, just a little distance away from him.

He felt that there were too many people in front of him, so he didn't think much about it, so he pulled a chair and sat by the last wall.

Not long after, people came in one after another.

The vast majority of people sat down after finding a seat, and a few people, like him, specially pulled their chairs to the back.

There were about a hundred people.

Then people from Sotheby's company came up to speak, thanking everyone for being present and so on.

Ji Sheng was not interested at all.

Also taking advantage of this time, the staff of the auction house began to distribute pamphlets of the items to be auctioned. These pamphlets will record the number of the bid, which probably means the number of auctions.

After a while, the notary, the supervisor of the New York local government, and the auctioneer in charge of bidding at the auction house all arrived.

After a short basic procedure, the auctioneer stood on the auction stage and said into the microphone: "Gentlemen and ladies, good afternoon, welcome to the auction held by Sotheby's Auction Company. It is a pleasure to serve you, Ston Lewis, and I hope my service will bring good luck to everyone present."

These are all nonsense, Ji Sheng sat there calmly.

The auctioneer said: "Today's auction has a total of 57 items, which have been announced in the auction materials sent to everyone. Please read them carefully. At the same time, I hope that all bidders will actively bid."

The 57 items are not all the items in Sotheby's New York Spring Auction this time, but only this one. According to Ji Sheng's knowledge, Sotheby's New York Spring Auction has a total of 23 special sessions and more than 3000 items. This second hall is a small auction hall, so there are so few things.

Then he announced some auction rules and precautions, such as no loud noises, no collusion to manipulate prices and the like.

Basically nothing worth noting.

The only thing that bothers Ji Sheng a little bit is that the default price increase method used this time is 12, that is to say, if you raise your placard above your head and don't bid, the default minimum price increase will be the default. For example, the starting price of a bid is 15. The card will become 18, the second time 20, the third time 22, then 25, [-], [-] and so on.

The first item to be auctioned is a dress sword and five pistols belonging to Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the First French Empire, with a starting price of US$30.

The projector immediately projected the bidding items onto the big screen.

When the auctioneer announced the opening of the auction, a woman sitting in the front row immediately raised her placard.

"The starting price in 32 is [-]."

The auctioneer's voice was calm.

Ji Sheng wasn't interested in this thing, he just watched other people bid, not to mention, Napoleon's saber and pistol are very popular, there was a bid here just now, and then someone raised a placard.

"35."

"38."

"40."

"... 45, 45."

In just a short while, the asking price came to 50.

There were even bids over the phone.

Ji Sheng participated in a formal auction for the first time, and found it quite interesting.

Finally, when the price reached 60, no one raised their cards for a short time.

The auctioneer slightly raised his hand and said, "60, 60, is there any more?"

No one said a word.

The auctioneer said again: "60, the second time, will anyone raise the price?"

Still no sign.

The auctioneer said: "60, the last time." He repeated in a drawn out tone, "60, the last time."

Seeing that no one raised the price, the auctioneer smiled and slowly knocked down the gavel, "Number [-]."

Then a female staff member took the transaction confirmation letter and gave it to the Caucasian client who made the transaction to sign.

The second piece is the European medieval antique lamp decoration.

It's a pity that no one bid to pass the auction.

When it came to the third piece, Ji Cheng cheered up, because it was Master Beihong's picture of a horse.

"The next piece is a picture of a horse by Beihong Xu, a master painter from the mysterious East China. This picture of a horse is only about [-] feet in length and width, but the horse inside is lifelike." The auctioneer gave a brief introduction, Immediately said: "The starting price is [-], and each increase should not be less than [-]. Bidding starts now."

Ji Sheng didn't care whether the others raised their placards or not, and just raised them.

The auctioneer took a look, "The starting price is [-] on [-]."

There was no sign at all below.

The auctioneer had no choice but to say: "Thirty thousand, is there anyone raising the price?"

Still no sign.

Ji Sheng was stunned for a moment, wondering if it's that simple?He thought he would bid hard.

"The last time of [-], is there anyone else to add?" the auctioneer asked.

Finally, a yellow man from an unknown country raised a sign.

The auctioneer smiled, "No. [-] in [-]."

Without even thinking about it, Ji Sheng raised his sign again.

The auctioneer said, "Thirty-five thousand."

This time the yellow man did not raise his card.

After shouting a few times that no one bid, the auctioneer knocked down the auction hammer, "Two eight eight thirty-five thousand, deal!"

Maybe it was Ji Sheng raising his placard to bid for the deal, and Li Kai glanced at him from a distance.

Ji Sheng was overjoyed when he successfully photographed Master Beihong's masterpiece, and then signed the transaction confirmation letter.

Because the thing he likes has already been obtained, Ji Sheng has no interest in the next auction. If he didn't have to pay 20.00% of the price as a deposit later, he would leave now.

The auction continues.

three item.

five piece.

Soon came the No.20 piece.

Ji Sheng was drowsy and almost fell asleep leaning against the wall.

But at this moment, the auctioneer's words woke Ji Sheng up.

"The No. 20 item to be auctioned in this auction is a bronze ware with dragon pattern from the Shang Dynasty!" The auctioneer said unhurriedly: "This bronze ware was generally used as a wine vessel during the Shang Dynasty. It is 50 feet high, with a diameter of [-] feet by [-] feet, and a base diameter of [-] feet by [-] feet." After the auctioneer finished his introduction, he directly announced the starting price, "The starting price is [-], and each increase is no less than [-]. Now start bidding!"

What the hell!

Shang bronzes?

Ji Sheng's eyes widened, especially if it was a bronze square. He knew how valuable this thing was. In modern society, it could be regarded as the treasure of a museum, worth hundreds of millions of soft girl notes!

He raised his sign without hesitation.

"The starting price in 50 is [-]."

As a result, Ji Sheng was not so lucky this time, and there were many bidders.

"52."

"55."

"58."

"60."

In just a short while, the price has climbed to 65!

In particular, foreigners raise their placards a lot!

How could Ji Sheng let such a national treasure fall into the hands of foreigners? He held up his placard again, this time asking the price directly, "100 million!"

100?

A price increase of 35?

Ji Sheng's quotation was shouted out, and the voice was still echoing in the auction hall. All the people present looked at him at the back, and fell silent for a moment!

His asking price echoed throughout the auction hall!

When the asking price came out, everyone was shocked!

100 million is not too much money for many people in this auction hall, but the estimated price of this target is 30 to 60 US dollars. It is clearly written in everyone's brochure, and everyone knows the approximate price.

In fact, the asking price just now was 65, which was already beyond the budget of many people, but now Ji Sheng actually directly raised it to 100 million?

crazy!

are you crazy!

Or is there too much money to spend?

Everyone looked at this oriental man in disbelief, as if they didn't expect him to be so crazy!

Li Kai was even more stunned. He heard Ji Sheng say that the company had just been established, and he thought it was a small company that casually invested hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he never expected that Ji Sheng would call it out at the auction A sky-high price of 100 million!At least for this lot, it is definitely a sky-high price!

But what shocked everyone even more was yet to come.

A Caucasian man also seemed to like this bronze ware very much. He gritted his teeth and held up a sign to increase the price: "120 million!"

The price has been raised by another 20!

Everyone looked at Ji Sheng again, as if they wanted to see if he would follow.

follow or not?

Do you still hesitate about such a national treasure?

Ji Sheng raised his card again, and once again categorically bid the price: "150 million!"

Whoa!

The shout suddenly exploded!

"How many?"

"Oh, God!"

"God! His asking price is 150 million?"

"Incredible! Simply incredible!"

"Is this man too arrogant? Which rich man is he?"

Some people couldn't help but lose their voices because of Ji Sheng's generous price increase again, and there was an uproar!

Li Kai, who was standing in the distance, was astonished. Only then did he realize that Ji Sheng was not the little boss he had thought before, he was very rich!

Although the auction hall is not allowed to make noise, a Caucasian woman still exclaimed at this moment: "oh-my-god! He called out 60 million for the lot with the highest estimate of 150? Is it real or fake? My God! "

The asking price was beyond anyone's imagination.

Even the white youth who bid with Ji Sheng showed a look of astonishment, obviously he didn't expect Ji Sheng to be so aggressive!

The auctioneer was ecstatic, and immediately said: "150 million, is there anyone raising the price? Is there any more?"

The Caucasian youth hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't raise his sign again.

The auctioneer shouted again: "150 million, no one raised the price?"

The people in the audience didn't listen to him at all, they all looked sideways at Ji Cheng.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd seemed to recognize him, "I know who he is, he is the Eastern Silver Lion Ji Sheng who was on the scene a while ago!"

Ji Sheng?

on?

Who is the top rich man in the East?

Just when everyone was guessing about Ji Sheng's identity.

The auctioneer slowly shouted, "150 million, for the last time, it's...deal!"
