Chapter 84: Auction House (3)

No matter how the people present have different thoughts he was still calm as ever.

Lee Minho's fingers lightly tapped twice on the next lot in the album.

-"The next auction item has a very unique shape. It is Tang Sancai."

Tang Sancai, there are actually many Tang Sancai that survived from generation to generation.

But most of them are yellow, white, green, purple and brown. These colors are more common.

Black is rare, and blue even rarer. Most of the unearthed black and blue Tang Sancai are hidden in museums.

Tang Sancai, in addition to the color, the workmanship has been shaped, which is also one of the important criteria to measure its value.

The Tang Sancai on the auction table is a pair of Tang Sancai that has never been seen before.

Two two horses, one black and one blue,

have different shapes.

Among them, the black horse lowers its head to drink water, and the blue horse raises its hooves to be vigilant about its surroundings.

The two horses are completely impeccalble in terms of shape, color, and workmanship.

As soon as this lot was released, almost everyone's eyes lit up.

It can be said that many people came here because of the pair of tricolors.

"I haven't seen Tang Sancai like this before."

Choi Jaywon sighed.

Yoon Jungsu also nodded.

"Well, the shape is very unique, and the transition between the ups and downs of the blank tire is very natural."

Jung Jinso picked up a piece of snack on the table and put it into his mouth, and said vaguely.

"The price is definitely not cheap."

-"The starting price for this Tang Sancai is 30 million."

This time, before the people on the first floor raised their cards, the boxes on the second floor began bidding with each other.

After a while, the price was pushed to 46 million.

It can be seen that many people in the box on the second floor are bournd to win this Tang Sancai.

Those on the first floor saw that the people in the box on the second floor were competing, so none of them bid.

One is to save face for those people in the box on the second floor. It's that the prices are so high that they're a little too much to bear.

Lee Minho felt that the Tang Sancai was very suitable to be placed on the antique cabinet in the living room.

Of course, the most important thing is that the 720 million in his bank card has not been spent.

This Tang Sancai is so peculiar that it is the only Tang Sancai with double horses so far.

The collection value is very large.

Thinking of this, Lee Minho held up the sign.

"50 million."

"Wow..."

There was a burst of wow from behind Lee Minho.

Originally thought that 46 million was already considered a high price. Unexpectedly, Lee Minho directly shouted 50 million.

The one who bid 46 million was the person in Box No. 5.

And sitting in the fifth box is Kang Taehyun's goddess, Ren Yena who had a double-sided relationship with Lee Minho.

Ren Yena did not expect that Lee Minho would bid 50 million dollars.

This 50 million is not a small amount. If you don't like it very much, you really can't bear this price.

After Lee Minho made his bid, he looked up at Box No. 9.

He knew that after he bid, his image would appear on the screen in the lobby on the first floor and in the box on the second floor.

Therefore, he purposely looked towards Box No. 9, wanting to see if Qin Anze would make an offer.

And this move of his also caused others to focus on the No. 9 box, and it seemed that other people were also looking forward to it.

Will Qin Anze make an offer this time?

The 45 million is about to overwhelm him, and he doesn't kow how to explain to his father at this moment.

Now that another 50 million is coming, Lee Minho's purpose of looking at his box should not be too obvious.

He just wanted to deceive him to bid again, and then make him lose a fortune.

Qin Anze snorted coldly.

"Hmph, do you think I'll be fooled? Don't think so."

So, after waiting for quite a while, there was no further bid for Box No. 9.

As for the people in the other boxes, they didn't know whether they were for watching the show, or because the price had already exceeded their reserve price, so no one made any more bids.

-"Congratulations to Mr. No. 8, for bidding Box No. 9 at a price of 50 million."

Clapped.

The applause sounded, and the people sitting beside or behind Lee Minho clapped their hands and gave applause.

Some of the actresses or socialites who came to catch seats, seeing Lee Minho so young, suddenly showed the eyes of a wolf seeing its prey.

Compared with the forty or fifty-year-old man sitting next to them, or a fat middle-aged man, or a greasy man.

Lee Minho, who is only in his twenties, is simply too attractive.

At a young age, he spent 50 million without blinking his eyes. How rich should that be!

Moreover, he dared to bully someone from the Qin family, so his identity must not be simple.

Many women have already started to fantasize about how to hook up with Lee Minho after the auction is over.

Soon, other auction items followed suit.

Lee Minho liked some auction items very much, so he sold them.

Some didn't dare to be interested, so they didn't make a move.

Even so, until the very last three mysterious auction items, Lee Minho had already taken 6 auction items.

A total of almost 300 million was spent.

Kang Taehyun and others sitting next to Lee Minho became more surprised and frightened as they watched.

The 300 million was spent in less than half an hour.

What he bought was not a company, not a house, but some antique items.

The Autumn Winds is so beautiful that the eyes don't even blink.

Even billionaires dare not spend like this.

After all, this is liquid capital.

"Young Master Lee, do you still want to buy more?"

Kang Taehyun clicked his tongue when he saw that Lee Minho was still looking at the last few items in the auction album.

Lee Minho hummed, and then said casually.

"Well....There are still two vacancies on the cabinet in the living room, just buy two more."

"A cabinet in the living room?"

Kang Taehyun remembered that apart from the wine cabinet in Lee Minho's living room, there was another cabinet that was vacant.

That cabinet is an antique cabinet, usually used to put some decorations.

Now, according to Lee Minho, the antiques he photographed were just to fill the vacant cabinet in the living room?

"That's right, the cabinet in my living room is too empty, it's not good-looking."

He then continued.

"I just wanted to buy some things and put them up, so that it would look more pleasing to the eye."

The people sitting around Lee Minho have swallowed in unison after hearing Lee Minho's words.

'Listen, what kind of rhetoric is this.'

'Spend 300 million dollars on antiques just to decorate the empty cabinet?'

No matter how you hear this, it's truly extravagance and mind-blowing.

However, Lee Minho said it so naturally, without any pretense.

The next item is a Yuan Dynasty porcelain, blue and white dragon pattern jar.

Blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty can be said to be the most popular antique in recent years.

At an overseas auction before, there was a jade pot and spring vase of Yuan blue and white porcelain, which was auctioned for a sky-high price of 210 million dollars.

Although the blue and white dragon pattern jar is not as good as the jade pot and spring vase, its appearance is almost the same.

Lee Minho really fell in love with this blue and white dragon pattern jar as soon as he saw it.

-"The starting price is 50 million."

When others were still paying one million and two million more, Lee Minho directly raised his card.

"100 million."

The price directly doubled, and the venue was silent for two seconds.

The auctioneer shouted excitedly.

-"Mr. No. 8 bids 100 million, is there anyone else with a higher bid?"

-"Box No. 6 bids 110 million."

-"Box No. 5 bids 120 million."

At this time, they all increased by 10 million.

Lee Minho glanced at the fifth box and the sixth box.

He doesn't know who the people in the two boxes are, but this is an auction, and the price goes to the bidder.

Therefore, Lee Minho didn't intend to be courteous to them.

Most importantly, this is already the third last auction item.

At this time, there are still 430 million dollars in his card deposits that have not been spent.

He felt bad that the money was not spent.

So Lee Minho directly bids again.

"150 million."

Qin Anze who was sitting in the private room, watching Lee Minho's bid, kept sneering.

"150 million? Including the things that were auctioned just now, it's almost 500 million. I'll wait and see until the auction is over on how he will pay."

Qin Anze decided to think that Lee Minho couldn't afford so much money.

If Lee Minho really had that much money, would he still use his identity as Qin Anze?

-"Box No. 5 bids 170 million."

This was Ren Yena's last bid.

Although she really wanted to bid for the blue and white porcelain jar, she had no choice but to give up if the price was too high.

She looked at Lee Minho on the screen with her beautiful eyes full of curiosity, wondering who this person was. It's so generous.

"180 million."

Lee Minho held up his placard again, and the price in his heart was 200 million.

He originally thought that the people in the box on the second floor would increase the fare again, but unexpectedly, there was no movement.

The people in the boxes on the second floor, except for Qin Anze, can still afford a few hundred million.

However, after buying a something you still need to look at the value of the thing.

The value of this blue and white dragon pattern pot is at most 180 million.

If it is not the kind of crazy collector, or if you have to get this blue and white dragon pattern jar. If the price exceeds this price, they will not sell again.

Therefore, this blue and white dragon jar was photographed by Lee Minho with 180 million dollars.

Lee Minho blinked, feeling a little surprised.

Originally, he thought that at least hewould raise the price to 200 million.

The second to the last item came up. It's a bronze vessel.

Lee Minho felt that the bronze ware did not meet his aesthetics, so he ignored it.

In the end, the bronze ware was taken away by the people in Box No. 7.

The last very last item of the auction, that is, the grand finale.

It is also a piece of Yuan Dynasty porcelain, and it is a blue and white flying dragon and beast bottle that is more exquisite and gorgeous than the blue and white dragon pattern jar just now.

On both sides of the bottle, two lifelike dragon heads are connected to the two flying dragons depicted on the bottle body.

At first glance, the two flying dragons seem to break out of the bottle at any time, and the visual impact is extremely strong.

The competition for this last item was even fiercer than that of the blue and white porcelain just now.

In just one minute, the price was pushed to 180 million.

Immediately afterwards, the price broke through 180 million and went directly to 200 million.

This price is very close to the Yuan blue and white jade pot and spring bottle that was auctioned overseas before.

A new record is about to be born tonight. Depends on whether there is a price increase.

Lee Minho has never made a bid, and everyone thought that he would not make another bid.

After all, he has already bought a blue and white porcelain, and had already spent hunudreds of millions tonight.

However, they didn't know that at this moment, Lee Minho was calculating the remaining money in his card.

He bought 6 antiques and spent 290 million dollars, and the dragon pattern jar cost 180 million dollars. Now he still has 250 million dollars left.

Lee Minho thought, the 250 million dollars should be enough to buy the last piece of blue and white porcelain.

Soon, there was another bid for Box No. 6, 220 million.

In an instant, the auction was boiling.

This price has surpassed the Yuan blue and white jade pot and spring bottle in the previous overseas auction.

A new record is born.

When Ren Yena pressed the price, she was actually apprehensive.

She bought this Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase, one is to please grandpa.

The second is to take this opportunity to talk to Fang Jun about cooperation.

As long as she bids for this final auction item, Fang Jun must come out to meet her.

The 220 million was brought by her tonight, and almost all the liquid funds in her Company are gone.

However, the next second.

Lee Minho's face appeared on the screen along with his voice.

"250 million."

Everyone's eyes widened.

Lee Minho actually bid again and it's a whopping 250 million.

It was directly 30 million higher than the price offered by Box No. 6.

-"250 million once.., 250 million twice.., is there a higher one?"

The auctioneer knew that he had set a record, so his voice became a little excited.

-"Congratulations to Mr. No. 8, who won the finale of our auction, the priced Yuan Dynasty Feilong blue vase, at a price of 250 million."

Clapped.

The applause sounded like thunder.
