A rough-faced man was sitting on the stands overlooking the collection on display below - bronze zodiac heads.
In the light, the bronze horse head surface sparkles, and its luster is as dazzling as the long river of time.
"One hundred and ten million."
"One hundred and fifty million!"
"One hundred and eighty million."
…
The sounds of bidding prices came one after another below.
Amid the heated bidding, David was most concerned about the reactions of the several private rooms directly opposite him.
Don't be fooled by the people below who are shouting out prices loudly and looking determined to win. He has been staying in Continent F for many years and knows the 'rules' here very well.
—Only the collections that are disdained by a few bigwigs in Continent F will be auctioned off and flow outside.
None of the big shots sitting in the private rooms on the same floor with him today said a word. It seems they have set their eyes on the last piece of collection.
David's blue wolf eyes looked at the horse-headed animal head below. In his opinion, there was nothing strange about a bronze product.
It is neither gold, silver nor diamond. Apart from the value it brings from historical accumulation, it is not an easy collectible to sell.
But he himself has limited education.
The most unappreciative are the collections that cannot be influenced by art.
"Two hundred and thirty million!"
In just a blink of an eye, the price below had exceeded 100 million and reached over 200 million.
David touched his earlobe and cursed, "Damn! What's so expensive? Is the bronze inlaid with gold?"
He couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking. Even a lump of pure gold of the same volume would not be sold for 230 million.
David didn't want to admit it but he had to admit that this animal head was really damn expensive!
"Boss, are we going to shoot this?" Skinny Monkey and Chunlei followed him. Skinny Monkey blinked his eyes. He obviously couldn't understand why a bronze horse head statue could be sold for so much.
David had been through thick and thin with the older group of members, so privately the relationship between them was not so clear. Hearing the voice, he raised his chin, pointed at the beast head below and said, "It's something from Sun's hometown."
"This is too expensive!" The skinny monkey touched his head and smacked his lips.
The number has already been called up to 250 million.
He couldn't figure out how this thing could be more expensive than the weapons they sold.
"Sun has been searching auction houses around the world for cultural relics from her hometown. Now that we've come across this, we'll try to get it back for her."
"But..." The skinny monkey looked at the bronze lump below, then thought of the money flowing out, and was about to say something.
Chunlei suddenly stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, and said expressionlessly: "But you bastard!"
The skinny monkey covered his head and looked at her aggrievedly: "Why did you hit me?"
"Sun, buy it if you want." Chunlei said resolutely on his not-so-charming and delicate face: "If it weren't for Sun, we would still be panning for gold in the black mine. Don't forget how you lived a good life!"
The skinny monkey has nothing to say.
He just couldn't understand how a thing with a cost price of no more than five figures could be sold at such a sky-high price.
However, Skinny Monkey and others also knew that Qiao Nian had been looking for these cultural relics everywhere, and every time he found them and brought them back at a high price at an auction, he would donate them back as an anonymous overseas businessman.
Although these people do not understand why the big guys spend so much money and do good deeds without leaving a name, they have deeply imprinted this behavior in their minds.
For example, when they see similar cultural relics, they will do the same as David and try to take pictures of them and return them.
