Daniel smiled slightly when he heard this, stood up, faced everyone and said politely: "These are for the woman next to me. She has a strong interest in cultural relics."
"But...if you have any cultural relics that you are interested in, just come and bid."
After he finished speaking, his eyes glanced in the direction of Luo Feng.
Everyone present thought that the only person who could compete with Daniel was Luo Feng.
Luo Feng, however, sat in his seat indifferently without any expression.
Even...didn't answer Daniel.
Daniel's face darkened and he sat down.
Su Qing began to introduce the next antique.
“This piece of ancient printed silk has a starting price of 400,000 yuan.” As soon as the auctioneer spoke, Daniel’s bidding voice rang out.
“I still have 150,000 more!”
The whole place was quiet, no one followed the price.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one wanted to bid with Daniel.
Everyone knows that as long as Daniel identifies an antique, he will invest all his funds and must win it.
And his background identity is also very hard-core. Looking at the daughter of the Irish mayor sitting next to him, the two have a close relationship, which is confirmed by this.
Many people don’t want to offend him.
This is why Daniel has won the title of charity collector for several consecutive terms.
As the auctioneer on the stage announced, the ownership of this antique belongs to Daniel.
He already felt a little bored.
No one has followed yet?
On the contrary, the female companion next to him looked at him with admiration.
After all what Daniel just said, these cultural relics were bought for her and were full of personal charm, which moved her very much.
But she did not see the displeasure in Daniel's heart.
Because Daniel heard about Luo Feng’s arrogance before the auction started.
I originally wanted to give Luo Feng a hard kick today, so that everyone could see what kind of person this grand uncle is.
He does not deserve the title of Shenhao at all!
However, as the auction began, Luo Feng had no intention of bidding at all.
Each antique was given by Daniel once, and then the antique belonged to him.
Not only Luo Feng, but also the other top wealthy people present had no intention of following the price.
All of the ancient seal cultural relics currently being auctioned have fallen into Daniel's hands.
At the same time, Li Weining was actually a little depressed.
This time he specially came in advance to speak for Luo Feng sarcastically in front of Daniel, and also assigned the two people's positions together.
Just want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and use Daniel to suppress Luo Feng, so as to vent his bad breath.
After all, he really had nothing to do with Luo Feng. Luo Feng had already seen through all the previous plans.
Ke Luofeng seemed to have an insight into his plan and never had any conflict with Daniel.
How can he sit on a mountain and watch the fight between tigers and watch the show?
Although he still doesn't know what method Luo Feng used to make Su Qing no longer hate him.
According to his understanding, Daniel will never be like Su Qing.
This man himself has a character that is determined to retaliate against others.
Once upon a time, a mine owner from other places bought an antique item at a price that exceeded Daniel's price.
At that time, Daniel had already bought more than ten antiques in succession, and he didn’t have much money left.
This made him very embarrassed. Later, the antique fell into the black market and was bought by Daniel.
As for the whereabouts of the mine boss, some say he has gone to other cities to do business, while others say he went home sick.
In short, there were various rumors, but Li Weining was the president of the charity auction at that time, and he already knew that the mine owner was dead.
And it was Daniel who sent his own men to do it.
At this time, Daniel turned around and looked at Li Weining, who frowned and typed quickly.
“President Li...what’s going on? Didn’t you say that guy is going to take pictures of sixteen antiques today?”
"How come he hasn't bought any antiques now, and he hasn't even opened his mouth? Are you lying to me?"
Daniel seemed to have guessed something, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
If Luo Feng doesn't bid, how can he be a foil?
He likes people who dare to bid with him.
And now he doesn’t have a few antiques to buy and has plenty of money.
The mine boss thing like before will never happen again.
Not to mention that Luo Feng was even more arrogant than the mine owner. The mine owner just bought an antique and snatched an antique from him.
And Luo Feng opened his mouth to say that he wanted to buy sixteen antiques. I don’t know how arrogant it has become.
Li Weining quickly waved his hand, then typed on the keyboard and replied.
"According to my understanding, the guy is not interested in these antiques now. He plans to completely defeat you with the next antiques."
“You also know that he is a Chinese. The antiques that Chinese people like to buy most are the cultural relics of their own country.”
After some embarrassment by Li Weining, it has now become the reason why Luo Feng did not bid with Daniel.
That's because he didn't like the cultural relics that Daniel valued, so he didn't bid.
Daniel's face turned ugly after hearing this, and he looked straight at Luo Feng.
“Mr. Luo, I heard that you are planning to buy sixteen pieces of antiques, aren’t you? You haven’t asked the price once, could you be just bragging?!”
Although he had listened to Li Weining's words, he couldn't help it.
Luo Feng looked at Daniel with some surprise.
"How did you know that I was going to buy sixteen antiques? Is it possible that you have a crush on me?"
As soon as these words came out, many people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Gong Liya also rolled her eyes. Luo Feng’s mouth is too bad.
Lovers all know that Daniel has definitely conducted a private investigation, so he dared to say it.
But Luo Feng used such a tone, making it seem as if the relationship between the two was no longer competitive but had become a very ambiguous one.
Daniel's face also turned green and red, and he always felt as if he had been humiliated by Luo Feng.
His eyes widened and he said: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Since you don't have a crush on me, then how come you remember what I said so clearly? I don't think I said it to you, right?"
"Isn't it because you have a crush on me...that you care about my performance?"
Luo Feng folded his arms and analyzed seriously.
“Hahahaha…” As soon as these words came out, the laughter of the people present became louder.
The female companion next to Daniel also looked ugly, and she even scolded him.
“You guys who follow the trend! Why are you laughing? Is it that funny?!”
Daniel's female companion asked straight to the point. "And you, a country bumpkin, if you don't have the guts to just shut up or leave obediently, what's the point of talking about all this?"
“And to be honest. You can also bid with Mr. Daniel? But do you have the capital and ability?!”
His disdain for Luo Feng was revealed both inside and outside his words.
Luo Feng also put away the joking expression on his face and said calmly.
“I said, I’m waiting.”
“I’ll bid you when the time comes. Why are you in a hurry?”
When Daniel heard these words, he remembered what Li Weining said just now. Luo Feng should be waiting for antiques from his country.
In fact, many people think that Luo Feng is waiting for that, but in fact, he is waiting for his nieces.
Just now he had received the message from his subordinates, had driven his niece to the door, and was now heading upstairs.
"The next few antiques are not simple. They are called the Three consecutive Pearls of the Tang Dynasty! They can be said to be extremely prestigious antiques!"
“Three consecutive pearls of the Tang Dynasty!”
“It’s coming, it’s finally coming!”
“I’ve been waiting for this!”
…”
The guests in the audience were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and their eyes were focused on the central auction stage, where they were very much looking forward to the unveiling of several rare Tang Dynasty antiques.
There was gradually more excitement and discussion than when the ancient seals and antiques appeared before.
Luo Feng was a little surprised when he saw this. He looked slightly sideways and asked, "What's the explanation for these three consecutive beads of the Tang Dynasty? Could it be three beads?"
Bai Ningbing shook her head, "Three consecutive beads of the Tang Dynasty do not refer to beads, but three extremely famous antiques from the Tang Dynasty."
“This triple bead actually has a heavy meaning, and it can be regarded as an important part of the auction here. In order to enhance the value of cultural relics, the price will be higher than before.”
Luo Feng suddenly realized.
Mr. Luo couldn’t help but give a thumbs up after hearing this.
“This lady is an expert and what she said is absolutely correct.”
If he had known that Bai Jinbin was from the auction house, he probably wouldn't have said this.
He patiently explained to Luo Feng.
“Mr. Luo, I can first reveal that the three consecutive beads of the Tang Dynasty refer to the Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors with auspicious animal patterns, gold and silver flat lacquerware, and Tang Dynasty three-color horse figurines.”
"What! Will these three antiques appear here?!" Bai Ningbing opened her cherry mouth slightly and seemed a little shocked.
At this time, Su Qing on the stage held a microphone and announced with a loud and contagious voice.
“Dear distinguished guests, tonight we are honored to witness the reappearance of history. Three treasures of the Tang Dynasty that have traveled through thousands of years are about to be unveiled.”
“Please allow me to remind everyone that every time you raise a placard, it is not only a pursuit of artistic treasures, but also a generous support for charity.”
As Su Qing finished speaking, three uniformed waiters slowly lifted off the red cloth covering the antique.
In an instant, bright lights shone on the antiques, instantly lighting up the entire venue.
Luo Feng looked straight this time. Compared with the ancient Indian cultural relics just now, these cultural relics are real treasures!
At this moment, Daniel couldn't help but start to wonder, could it be that the ancient stamps and antiques he just selected were really too inferior? ?
If not, why did Luo Feng not compete with him, but continued to wait.
It wasn’t until he saw these Chinese antiques that he realized that they were indeed not comparable to the ancient seals he had just photographed.
Su Qing walked towards the first exhibit and introduced in detail: "This is an extremely rare three-color horse figurine from the Tang Dynasty, with bright colors and exquisite craftsmanship."
“It has a strong body, a lifelike expression, and a complicated and gorgeous saddle decoration, which fully reflects the royal style of the Tang Dynasty. According to research, it was once owned by a certain prince. After thousands of years of wind and rain, it is still well-preserved, and it is indeed a national treasure-level cultural relic.”
Bai Ningbing whispered: "This antique must be ours."
Luo Feng understood and made an OK gesture.
Now that his girlfriend has spoken, it seems that this antique is indeed extraordinary and he must get it!
Then, Su Qing on the stage had moved to the second antique.
“Next, what you see is a gold and silver flat lacquerware with complex patterns and exquisite gold and silver inlay technology.”
“This object is based on black lacquer, with gold and silver sheets finely cut into various patterns, and then embedded in the lacquer layer. After polishing, the gold and silver patterns are integrated with the lacquer surface, showing the luxury and sophistication of the aristocratic life in the Tang Dynasty.”
Finally, Su Qing stood in front of a bronze mirror and said with awe in her tone.
“This is a bronze mirror with auspicious animal patterns from the Tang Dynasty. The back of the mirror is decorated with auspicious clouds and auspicious animals. The lines are smooth, implying good luck.”
“The copper is thick and heavy, and even though the mirror surface has been tempered by the years, its former glory can still be seen.”
“This type of bronze mirror not only has practical functions, but also contains profound cultural connotations. It is an outstanding representative of ancient arts and crafts.”
“It’s wonderful, such a wonderful workmanship!”
“Is this really a cultural relic that can be created by humans?”
“No wonder it’s said that China’s cultural relics have the highest value retention rate. Look at the workmanship and craftsmanship, it’s incredible.”
…”
All the guests held their breath, admiring these artistic treasures that traveled through time and space, and they were filled with admiration.
Su Qing looked at the reaction of everyone in the audience and was very satisfied. Before that, she had thought that these three consecutive beads would definitely cause uproar among the people present.
This time, she didn’t even play the ppt but read it out with her own voice.
It is enough to show the influence of the Tang Dynasty's three consecutive beads and the importance it attached to it.
“The first cultural relic, a three-color horse figurine from the Tang Dynasty, has a starting price of two million U.S. dollars, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred thousand U.S. dollars!”
“Everyone can start bidding.”
After she finished speaking, the auctioneer raised the small hammer in his hand and struck it hard.
咚!
The bidding begins.
At this moment, Luo Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, and his voice once spread throughout the auction conference center.
“Three million U.S. dollars, I’m bidding on the three-color horse figurines of the Tang Dynasty.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Daniel, who was sitting not far from Luofeng, immediately responded: "Three and a half million."
His eyes were sharp and he looked determined to win.
Li Weining also seemed a little excited.
The two of them are finally going to fight!
This is the picture he wants to see.
Luo Feng was neither impatient nor impatient. He looked back at Daniel with a sneer on his lips.
“I will pay four million.”
Daniel still showed no sign of weakness and added: "Four and a half million."
The two of them went one after another, and the bidding sounds kept coming and going.
The price climbed rapidly, all the way to 6 million.
The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense.
But the audience in the audience was very excited and whispered.
Many people actually want to see two people competing in bidding. After all, this rare bidding showdown is truly shocking.
“Who do you think highly of?” (End of this chapter)
