Almighty Appraiser

Chapter 590 The Highest Price
Judley felt dizzy when he saw that the blue and white porcelain vase he admired was sold to bidder No. 690 for a high price of [-] million.

He lowered his head and rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, trying to use this method to wake himself up from the dizzy feeling as soon as possible.

Because, the bronze Buddha that will be auctioned next is also Judley's favorite object. He plans to take the photo and give it to the big leader's mother.

On the other side, Yuan Dongliang looked at the auction platform from a distance, seeing that the price of the blue and white porcelain vase had almost doubled, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.

He couldn't explain why, but the sound the female auctioneer made when she tapped the porcelain bottle gave Yuan Dongliang a very strange feeling.

But thinking that these auction items were all handled by treasure appraisers, Yuan Dongliang didn't think much about it.

"Dear guests, the last auction item is the gilded seated statue of Sakyamuni Buddha from the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty. The starting price is 800 million. Each increase in price cannot be less than [-]. If you are interested, please raise a placard to bid."

When the female auctioneer finished speaking, she looked at the people sitting under the stage with a smile.

"Oh, it's over!"

Judley pinched his thighs hard, and howled sadly in his heart.

He didn't dare to bid on the 340 million porcelain plate just now. The starting price of this bronze Buddha was 800 million, which was far beyond his psychological price range.

Thinking of the fact that he came to participate in the auction with great ambition, but ultimately failed, Judley felt sad for himself. He felt that he could not blame anyone for this. Was it because he was not capable enough? He did not earn so much. Money, otherwise, no one can stop him from giving gifts to the big boss and his mother.

Just when Judley hated that he had no money, a tiny voice came from a corner.

"810 million!"

As the sound sounded, the No. 77 sign was slowly raised.

The female auctioneer smiled and said to the crowd: "The last auction item - Ming Yongle gilt Sakyamuni Buddha sitting statue already has the first bidder, and it is our guest No. 77. He bid 810 million."

"Is there anyone here who wants to get this extremely precious bronze Buddha? If so, please bid."

To the surprise of the female auctioneer and Judley, the scene was so quiet that the sound of passing vehicles outside the venue could almost be heard.

Behind the bidding table, Na Yuanliang's face was also not very good. He had specially arranged the bronze Buddha to the end. Although the lowest bidding price of 800 million could guarantee a small profit for the Hanzhong branch, judging from the current reaction at the scene, Na Yuanliang was a little surprised, because in his opinion, this bronze Buddha should be sold at a price of about 1000 million.

"810 million for the first time!"

The female auctioneer did not pause her work because the scene was a little cold, and she still had a professional smile on her face.

Under the stage, it was still quiet.

In Judley's heart, he was extremely nervous at this moment, fighting fiercely.

More than 800 million is indeed a large sum of money to him, but it has not yet reached the point of bankruptcy.

Thinking of the excited smile on the old lady's face when he just gave this bronze Buddha to the leader's mother, Judley's heart beat wildly.

"For the second time of 810 million, if no one bids yet, this gilded seated statue of Sakyamuni Buddha from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty will be picked up by our bidder No. 77."

The female auctioneer looked at everyone in the audience with a smile.

Time seemed to stand still.

The female auctioneer waited for a while, and after introducing some characteristics of the bronze Buddha, she glanced at Na Yuanliang who was standing not far from the stage, and noticed that he nodded slightly, then raised her gavel and smiled Said: "810 million third"

"820 million!"

In the quiet scene, a somewhat bitter male voice suddenly sounded.

The female auctioneer slowly put down the gavel, followed the sound and looked for it, but she didn't see the number plate, and said with some surprise: "Which guest just quoted the bid of 820 million, please hold up your number plate."

The place was quiet.

"Hey, buddy, hold up the sign."

A male voice sounded.

Although the sound was not very loud, there were quite a few people who heard it because the scene was so quiet.

"what?"

"Oh!"

After two strange voices sounded in succession, the No. 53 sign was raised.

"Hello, was it you who quoted 820 million just now?"

The female auctioneer looked at the No. 53 sign from a distance and asked with a smile.

"Well, it was me who shouted."

Judley said with some lack of confidence.

"Okay, I see, please sit down."

The female auctioneer looked at Judley who stood up and said with a smile.

"Oh!"

Judley agreed uneasily and sat down holding the number plate.

"Okay, now the bidding price for the Ming Yongle gilt Sakyamuni Buddha statue is 820 million, and the bidder is guest No. 53. Has anyone offered a higher price than guest No. 53?"

The female auctioneer asked everyone present with a smile.

Yuan Dongliang glanced at Jia Deli, smiled and said to Xu Wanzhou who was checking his cell phone: "That boss Jia is out of his mind or confused. What do you think he thinks? Spending such a large sum of money to buy a bronze Buddha? He is Are you going to give it away, or keep it for yourself?"

Xu Wanzhou said without raising her head: "Then who knows, I reckon that the possibility of giving it away is relatively high."

"Hee hee, moreover, I still want to give it to someone who is very important to him."

Yuan Dongliang said "Oh", thought for a while and said: "These days, you have to pay attention to the method of giving gifts. Only by doing what you like can you get twice the result with half the effort."

"820 million for the first time!"

The female auctioneer looked down the stage with a smile and said slowly.

Only the sound of people's breathing could be heard at the scene.

Judley felt like he was trembling all over, holding the number plate and not daring to express his anger.

He was terrified, and a voice of "830 million" and even higher quotations suddenly appeared from somewhere.

"820 million for the second time! Has anyone else made an offer?"

The pleasant voice of the female auctioneer echoed throughout the auction site.

"Brother, don't be nervous. I don't think anyone will compete with you here."

The man sitting next to Judley reassured him.

Judley didn't say anything, just showed a forced smile at the man.

"820 million third"

"840 million!"

Before the female auctioneer finished speaking, a crisp female voice sounded from a certain corner.

Judley groaned, and cold sweat poured down from his head and face.

"The ones who quoted 840 million were our No. 17 bidder, No. 53 bidder, and No. 77 bidder, or other guests at the scene. Did anyone offer a better bid than 840 million?"

Perhaps it was because the quotations had gradually increased, and the smile on the female auctioneer's face was also much fuller.
