Chapter 1036 Are you really playing with mud?

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the auction will start on time.

First, the auctioneer appeared, and this was also a white glove.

After a simple hot field, it enters the auction stage.

The first item to appear was unique, it was a mummy from ancient Egypt, with a minimum price of 50,000 US dollars, and the price was no less than 10,000 yuan each time...

Li Tieniu was stunned: "Can this thing be auctioned?"

Boban explained to him: "In major museums, most of them collect mummies, and some people prefer them, hoping to obtain the mystery of immortality from them."

Li Tieniu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, had goose bumps on his body: "I am convinced, I won't sleep with my mummy, right?" "That's not true, but centuries ago, those painters made mummies into yellow paints to paint oil paintings."

I know a lot about the Boban. When talking about some interesting things, I just feel a little furious.

Sure enough, this mummy is still very popular. Everyone competes for it, and the price has risen repeatedly, but in the end the price has risen to 500,000 US dollars.

However, there were only two or three people who participated in the bidding, and they were very cautious in bidding.

"Add 10,000 US dollars." Liu Qingshan finally raised his sign.

"Senior Brother, how unlucky we can get this thing back?" Li Tieniu hurriedly stopped him.

Even Li Tie, who has always rarely spoken, muttered: "We should be in awe of the deceased."

Liu Qingshan smiled but said nothing. He wanted to try the reactions of Looney and others.

"Mr. No. 8 has bid $510,000, and is there any other gentleman who has bid?"

The auctioneer is also very hardworking. The competition for the first item is so fierce. It seems that there will be good returns today.

Soon he saw another number plate lifting up, so he quickly reported it excitedly: "Mr. No. 3, bid 520,000 US dollars!" No. 3 was the number plate in Looney's hand.

Liu Qingshan's mouth raised slightly, and he raised his sign again, adding another 10,000 yuan.

Luni was a little hesitant. He was a little confused about Liu Qingshan's intention. Do he really want to take a picture of this mummy or want to seduce him into a trap?

After thinking about it, Looney finally didn't have the courage to raise the license plate.

He was really afraid that after he made a offer, Liu Qingshan gave up directly. What's the use of Luni asking for a mummy?

With these hundreds of thousands of dollars, isn’t it good to find a group of young and beautiful girls?

The auctioneer shouted a few times, but no one offered again. In the end, the mummy was sold for US$530,000.

"Senior Brother, you can carry it back by yourself." Li Tieniu muttered.

Liu Qingshan yelled twice: "Boban, you are responsible for contacting the museum in Egypt and donating it directly. After all, the fallen leaves return to their roots.

His voice was not loud or small, and it was just enough for people around him to hear it.

In the auction hall, a low scream of exclamation sounded.

"Boss, I really admire you!" Boban also flattered.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars, donated like this without blinking.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "All ancient civilizations are used to commemorate and worship, and should not be reduced to tools for profit, and their hometown is their best destination."

In the auction hall, almost everyone's eyes looked here, and many people showed respect.

"Seeking fame." Looney snorted. He felt that he had a little clarity about Mount Tsing's idea, and that he could raise the price for the other party with confidence.

The second item was released, this is a set of clay books, with a total of more than 30 yuan, with a base price of 20,000 US dollars.

It is said that it was excavated in Iran, with cuneiform characters engraved on it, which is left over from the Sumerian civilization, the oldest known civilization today. This kind of characters are even older than the oracle bone inscriptions in China.

Vera suddenly became excited: "I have studied cuneiform characters, and these clay plates are very precious!"

Liu Qingshan smiled and almost forgot that there was a master of language and writing around him.

So he nodded to Vera: "Then you can participate in the auction. It is my wedding gift for you, but remember, after the research, you will return the goods to the original owner and donate them to the museum in Xiya."

Vera's eyes immediately lit up: "I will definitely do it.

After saying that, he raised the sign high: "Add 100,000 US dollars!"

Li Tie quickly pulled her arm: Although it was not our own money, we couldn't make it like this?

Liu Qingshan also laughed. In fact, in the auction hall, this kind of momentum is also very good, and it can make competitors retreat when they see the difficulties.

However, Luni, who had already put in full force to raise the price for Liu Qingshan, soon took it with Vera.

The two of them compete with each other, and no other competitors can get in.

Most of the people who want to get these clay versions are researchers from some universities or representatives of museums. They have limited funds and of course they won’t spend so much money.

In less than a minute, the price rose to 300,000 US dollars, and there were only more than 30 clay sheets in total, all of which were 10,000 yuan per piece. This price is not high.

Just like the tortoise shell and animal bones carrying oracle bones, each piece is equally precious.

Vera seemed to be angry, and then added $100,000 in price, and then looked at Looney provocatively.

Looney was not willing to be outdone and also added 100,000 yuan.

The two of them fought for several more rounds, and the price of the clay version had risen to 800,000 US dollars.

The auctioneer was so happy that his heart's estimates were worth 300,000 yuan.

"Nine hundred thousand!" Vera bid again!

Without thinking, Looney habitually raised the sign: "One million."

Vera exhaled hard, and then fell on the chair like a deflated ball: "Although I really want to get these clay plates, all our wealth, together, is only one million."

It turned out that this girl was planning to pay for it herself, but now the price has reached her limit.

"Villa, do you need help?" Liu Qingshan asked again. He originally paid for it.

Vera blinked at Liu Qingshan, then waved her hand weakly: "Forget it, in fact, there are hundreds of thousands of clay plates that have been discovered so far, and many of them have not yet been studied and understood."

This is normal. Take oracle bone script as an example. So far, after nearly a hundred years of research by scholars, more than a thousand have been successfully identified.

But the total number is almost 5,000.

"Okay." Liu Qingshan also shook his head regretfully. From Vera's gaze, she read a sense of cunning.

Vera soon became cheerful again and said to Looney:

"Mr. Looney, congratulations on getting these clay plates. I hope you keep them well and don't ask your children to get them wet and play with them as clay."

At the same time, the auctioneer also sounded the hammer: "Congratulations to Mr. No. 3, for obtaining these clay plates."

There were also sparse applause from the scene, calling Luni, who was in a state of confusion, and suddenly woke up: It’s my turn, why don’t you bid?

But what's the use of these clay plates? Are you really playing with clay?

Looney's face became very bad. He felt like he was a little fooled. He wanted to raise the price for the other party, but as he lifted it, he was too deeply involved and hit him in his hand.

But in public, he could not lose his demeanor, so he could only bite his teeth and wave his hand gently.

But in his heart, it was even more uncomfortable than swallowing mud.

The next auction was the big square cauldron, with a starting price of 500,000 US dollars. Liu Qingshan directly added 100,000 US dollars, and then nodded at Looney with a smile.

Luni had not recovered from the incident just now, and was confused and didn't know whether to take action.

Similarly, the few friends around him did not dare to yell, worried about the situation just now.

There are also several Chinese faces who are interested in this big tripod, but after seeing Liu Qingshan bid, they did not participate in the competition.

As a result, the big tripod was sold for US$600,000.

Even the auctioneer was a little confused: in their expectations, this big square cauldron would have to be sold for millions of dollars. Of course, Lu Fang and Boban were the happiest ones. In their plan, as long as the price did not exceed two million, they would participate. A national weapon like the Dading is rare to see at ordinary times, not to mention that there are inscriptions in the cauldron.

I never expected that I would take it at such a low price, which was a bit overjoyed.

These two guys are also smart people. They gradually figured out Liu Qingshan's routine, which is to take a photo of the real and fake mummy, which is to take a photo of the useless mummy, and then donate it directly. This move also won respect.

He asked Vera to participate in the clay auction and dig a hole for Looney, which scared the other party to participate again.

In this way, there will be basically no competitors.

These two people often go to auction houses, and I feel that they have learned a lot from Liu Qingshan.

After taking down this big square cauldron, Liu Qingshan and the others had already completed the task, because they were not interested in the cultural relics of other civilizations.

But I have already spoken out in advance, so I still have to participate.

Liu Qingshan also raised the cards several times for the next few lots, and then stopped.

His money was not blown by the strong wind. He donated mummies, just to make a gesture and attack Looney and others, so as not to cause trouble when bidding for the big square cauldron.

Even the clay plate was worth millions of dollars. If this big square cauldron was fought for, it would have to be at least several million.

In fact, after counting inside and outside, Liu Qingshan still made a profit.

And Luni finally came back to the taste, and felt even more uncomfortable. She made up her mind to not let Liu Qingshan succeed easily.

The auctioneer's voice on the stage sounded again: "The next lot 10 is a precious cultural relics from the pre-Columbian period, a golden mask!"

The so-called pre-Columbian period is the Indian period, which refers to the fact that before Columbus discovered the American continent, the American continent was living in Indians.

The Indians created lost cultural relics such as Mayan civilizations and have always been popular with collectors.

Seeing the gold mask displayed, many bidders immediately began to get ready to go.

Soon, the price was more than one million US dollars when you fight.

"One million, one hundred thousand." Liu Qingshan finally made a bid.

"One and a half million!" Luni also had a gloomy face and directly increased the price significantly.

Liu Qingshan was not willing to be outdone: "Two million, I happened to know an Indian chief. I was going to give him this mask as a testimony of our friendship, and then play a song for him, the last Mohican."

There were several bidders who wanted to participate, but after listening to Liu Qingshan's words, they all silently put down the license plate in their hands.
