Reborn IT Giant

The auctioneer also didn't expect that Zheng Yan would make such a request. The Harris family has held auctions more than once. The credibility is there, and no one has ever suspected that there will be fakes, so this has never happened.

The auctioneer was a little undecided for a moment. He glanced at Owen Harris in the audience, saw the other person nodded, and then said to Zheng Yan: "Of course, but you have to be careful not to damage this painting.

."

In fact, even if the other party doesn't agree, Zheng Yan will take pictures of the painting, but since the other party agrees, he naturally has to take a look.

It has to be said that Zheng Yan's understanding of this aspect is indeed very limited. He only saw that the author's name should be Ju Ran, but after thinking for a long time, he could not figure out which historical figure it was.

But Zheng Yan discovered that there were more than a dozen seals left on the painting. We all know that generally, collectors of paintings will leave their own seals on the painting. Since it can be collected by so many people, the author must be somewhat famous.

.

"I've finished reading it, thank you."

The auctioneer originally thought that Zheng Yan was doubting the authenticity of the painting, but Zheng Yan did not observe it carefully and couldn't help but feel a little strange. However, the auction still had to continue.

"Okay, in that case, let's continue the auction."

"I'll offer ten thousand." Zheng Yan waited for a while and found that no one bid at all, so he said.

"Anyone else wants to bid? You know, this painting comes from distant China. Although it has not been systematically identified, it must have a history of hundreds of years, and it also has a very high collection value..."

Although the auctioneer didn't want to bid for a sky-high price, he was a little reluctant to settle the deal at the lowest price.

"Hurry up and start the next one..."

"Yeah, don't waste everyone's time..."

“…”

Although this is a common method used by auctioneers, the wealthy people in the audience obviously did not buy it.

"Okay, in that case, this painting belongs to this gentleman."

"The items we are going to auction below are also from China, but this time the item is a piece of exquisite porcelain..."

Although Westerners are not very interested in Chinese ancient paintings, they are still somewhat interested in porcelain. Due to cultural differences, Westerners cannot appreciate Chinese paintings.

Xia's traditional landscape paintings, but exquisite porcelain are deeply loved by Westerners.

"The starting bid for this lot is 100,000 U.S. dollars, and each bid increase must not be less than 10,000 U.S. dollars."

The moment the porcelain was put out, Zheng Yan couldn't take his eyes away, and he made up his mind to buy it.

What the other party took out was a large jar. On the jar was an old man sitting in a carriage. It shouldn't be said to be a carriage, because the cart was pulled by a tiger and a leopard. The old man's body leaned forward slightly, his expression was calm and extraordinary. Even Zheng Zheng

No matter how ignorant Yan is, he has heard of the famous Guiguzi Descending Mountain Pot.

The Guiguzi Descending Mountain Jar can be said to be the pinnacle of Yuan blue and white works. Although there have been countless imitations in later generations, it is difficult to compare with Yuan blue and white in terms of shape, painting style or charm. Although Zheng Yan cannot guarantee that what is in front of him is

It is an authentic product from the Yuan Dynasty, but even if it is a replica, its value is still inestimable.

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

"Two hundred thousand."

“…”

"Five million."

“…”

Although there were many people bidding on the spot, the price did not rise very fast, so Zheng Yan was not in a hurry to bid. Although Zheng Yan was rich, if he could buy it at a lower price, Zheng Yan was not willing to be taken advantage of.

"Eight hundred thousand."

"Is there anyone who bids? If I had known, even the Harris family only has one such exquisite piece of porcelain. I believe it would be difficult to encounter it again in the future."

In the opinion of the auctioneer, the current price is no longer low, but as an auctioneer, of course he will not dislike the high price, so he started to encourage people again.

Zheng Yan felt that it was almost done. If he didn't take action, he would miss this treasure. "One million."

"This friend from China bids one million, is there anything higher? We all know that China is the birthplace of porcelain, so this friend must be very aware of the value of this piece of porcelain."

Because of Zheng Yan's bid, the auctioneer had something to say again.

"One and a half million."

"Okay, this friend bids 1.5 million. Is there anything higher?"

The sudden sound made the auctioneer perk up, but Zheng Yan frowned.

Originally, according to Zheng Yan's estimation, in

When the price reached 800,000, it had almost reached its peak. Nowadays, Chinese cultural relics are not popular in the international market, but someone unexpectedly made another bid, and a one-time increase of 500,000 was made.

"Zheng Yan, that's Jianyuan Nakagawa of Mitsubishi Group, the person in charge of Mitsubishi Group in the United States."

Seeing the oriental face of the other party, Zheng Yan originally doubted whether the other party was also Chinese, but his English was a bit difficult to speak. It was not until he heard Larry Ellison's explanation that he realized that he was Japanese.

.

The Japanese are very obsessed with Chinese culture, so people in the upper class of Japan will learn Chinese and are very fond of Chinese cultural relics, especially porcelain. Thinking about this, Zheng Yan does not find it strange. However, for this kind of national treasure

Zheng Yan would not give it to the Japanese as a cultural relic.

"Three million."

"Four million."

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Zheng Yan simply doubled the price. He originally thought he was sure of victory, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually compete with him.

"My friend, I like this piece of porcelain very much. I wonder if you can part with it?" Zhongchuan Jianyuan said to Zheng Yan.

"Sorry, I happen to like it very much, five million."

If the other party hadn't taken the initiative to speak, Zheng Yan wouldn't bother to talk to him. As for giving him things, that would be even more impossible.

"Since it's an example, let's give it to the one with the highest price, six million."

Although Japan's economy has just suffered a heavy setback, and the Mitsubishi Group has suffered heavy losses at any time, a few million dollars is nothing to Nakagawa Jianyuan. He looked at Zheng Yan coldly and added another million dollars.

"Mr. Nakagawa bids 6 million, is there anything higher?" Nakagawa Jianyuan is obviously a frequent visitor here, and the auctioneer is very familiar with him.

Although Zheng Yan and Zhongchuan Jianyuan were both unhappy, the auctioneer was excited. Originally, he thought it would be great if this piece of porcelain could fetch one million, but the current price is already several times his expected price, and

There seems to be room for growth.

"Ten million."

Zheng Yan knew that if he continued to increase the amount bit by bit, even if he could win the Guiguzi Descending Mountain Pot, he would still have to pay a heavy price, so he simply added four million to show his determination to win.
