“It’s so beautiful!”"Duck statues have always been rare, and those carved from green jade are even rarer.""Based on my years of research on this type of jade, this jade duck vase should have come from the Roman empire.""In the sixth year of Emperor Augustus reign, an imperial decree was issued to order Michaele Ambrosio to carve a jade duck vase, which was not completed until November of the twelfth year of Emperor Augustus reign, a total of six years and ten months."There were gasps of shock from inside the house.You should know that craftsmen engaged in jade carving have been paid extremely high since ancient times.The person who could get the imperial palace to order the making of jade wares must have been a top-notch jade carving master at that time.According to today's market conditions, the annual salary of a skilled jade carver is approximately between 300,000 and 500,000 dollar.A jade carving master with superb skills has a guaranteed annual salary of one million, and
The veiled woman watched from the side, becoming even more curious about the true identities of these people. How could they spend tens of millions to buy an antique? There were only a handful of people in the business who possess such financial resources. But there were more than twenty people in the house. Could it be that all the super-rich people in New York City were gathered here?Absolutely not. Perhaps the true identities of these people were far more mysterious and powerful than she imagined."Ninety million!"With this sky-high price being quoted, the room finally became a little quieter.Irving heard the voice and looked over.The southeast corner of the house.There were three people in total.Two men and one woman.Two people were sitting and one was standing.The woman sitting had neat short hair and judging by the fair skin on her neck, she should be a young girl.The other man sitting there had white hair, wrinkled hands, and was dressed simply.The man standing there
This item was quite special.Height 11.7 cm, diameter 47 cm.It had an open mouth and shallow belly, a narrow square lip, a slightly concave inner bottom, a pair of attached ears that protrude from the mouth of the plate, and each ear has a pair of horizontal beams connecting to the edge of the plate. The ring foot was incomplete though.The abdomen was decorated with curved patterns, and the inside and outside of the ears were decorated with heavy ring patterns, which was simple and plain.But when ordinary people see this object, they would definitely feel that it looked familiar."Isn't this just a frying pan?"As soon as someone spoke these words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then after comparing it with the frying pan in the kitchen, they found that the similarity was as high as 99%.Immediately, the whole room burst into laughter. "Ha ha……""I thought something with a starting price of 10 million would be a rare treasure. But it turned out to be just a frying pan. This
"Sandra, don't be rude." The old man next to him coughed a few times, and then apologized to Irving. "I'm sorry, my granddaughter has always been like this, but I think it's inappropriate for you to spend 10 million to buy this thing."The old man meant well to remind Irving who replied disapprovingly. "Only an expert knows the true worth of a treasure, so no need to point novice fingers at me."These words offended everyone present."Boy, you are too arrogant!""Who do you think you are?""I've seen arrogant people before, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you.""Have you heard of Master Quentin, who became famous at the antique appreciation conference yesterday?""Master Quentin has the capital to be arrogant!""You don't think you are Master Quentin, do you?"Irving incurred everyone's anger and immediately became the target of public criticism.The veiled woman in the corner suddenly realized that this person seemed a little familiar, and after listening to other people's
The short-haired girl was motionless, breathing rapidly. A slight cool breeze penetrated the gap of the mask, as if proving that the scene just now was absolutely true. She touched her cheek and found it a little wet. When she opened his hand and looked, she saw a trace of blood!Turning her head, she clearly saw the dilapidated wall with a red petal embedded in it, cutting into the wall as smoothly as a piece of iron."Plucked petal can hurt people?" The old man's heart was in his throat, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his granddaughter was fine. However, the shock that Irving brought to him was deep in his bones. The boy's combat arts were so advanced that even he and his guards could not withstand the attack, let alone the short-haired girl. The old man, still frightened, slowly stood up and gave Irving a courtesy. "Thank you, young man for showing mercy to my granddaughter. We are the ones who have offended you. Please forgive us."He originally thought it was e
"What?" Everyone in the room was stunned instantly.This was outrageous!This was the first time such an incredible situation has occurred in auction history.The buyer had just placed the order and then auctioned it off on the spot.The most ridiculous thing was undoubtedly the starting price.Previously, Irving spent 10 million to buy the frying pan, and in the next second, the reserve price became 100 million. If one wasn't there, one wouldn't dare to believe that this scene was real.Wasn't this treating them all as fools?At this moment, a scream came from inside the house. "What? The bronze emperor plate that has been lost for thousands of years? Is that frying pan really the legendary treasure?"An old man wearing a soft leather mask was shaking with excitement as he shouted.Bronze emperor plate.This word gradually awakened memories deep in everyone's minds.The bronze Plate was made in the fifth y
A bronze vessel that originally looked like a frying pan.Now it was completely new, showing its true appearance.Yohan came to the table first, then took out a special magnifying glass he carried with him and leaned over to carefully examine the bronze ware. “The inscription is perfect and neat. Come here, bring all the ancient books that record the bronze emperor plate."To identify the authenticity of the bronze emperor plate, in addition to the inscription on the bottom plate, there are also records of collectors from past empires.After the fall of the Romanos empire, the emperor Plate flowed into the hands of the public and eventually fell into the hands of Shayne Barkley, a famous calligrapher in the Apollos empire.He said in his "Miscellaneous Records": "The inscription on the plate is 130 words. They sold it in the market. The owner's family members cut off its feet and used it as a cake oven..."In the middle of the Apollos empire, Charleston's "Catalogue of Ancient Books i
This bronze emperor plate was indeed of inestimable value and was the focus of the entire event. However, the price of 100 million was sure to make many people retreat. If it were her, she would set a more appropriate starting price. For example, between 30 and 50 million."One hundred and ten million!""One hundred and nineteen million!""One hundred and twenty-five million!""One hundred and thirty million..."Unexpectedly, the result was completely opposite to what the veiled woman expected.The starting price of 100 million dollar not only failed to scare off the crowd, but instead made the bidding extremely fierce.The bidding price kept rising.The veiled woman was stunned. On the one hand, she underestimated the great appeal of this bronze emperor plate. On the other hand, she underestimated the extraordinary financial resources of these people.One hundred million may be a sky-high price that was extremely rare i
