After all, rare treasures of that level have a starting price of tens of millions, and they are not something you can easily see at ordinary auctions held once a month.

"What is about to be presented to you is a precious antique that we just acquired today—carved from a piece of agarwood with a thousand-year-old history!"

. . . . . . .

At this moment, the tablet computer in Hua Ningyao's hand suddenly began to flash, and then pictures of exquisite carving details popped up one after another. At the same time, the auctioneer's passionate voice rang out.

"Please look, there are mysterious ancient characters engraved on the bottom of this precious sculpture! Although our experienced auctioneers are unable to decipher these ancient symbols for the time being, after careful identification, we can be sure that the history of this object is definitely no less than a thousand years old!"

Hearing this, Hua Ningyao couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart, because she knew clearly that this item came from the world of immortal cultivation, but it was not a reward from the royal family, but something she bought casually outside.

At that time, it cost a full ten taels of silver!

"Now, I declare that the starting price of this unique auction item is 2 million RMB, and each increase in price must not be less than 200,000 yuan."

As the auctioneer finished speaking, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense and heated.

Hua Ningyao was actually quite satisfied with this starting price. After all, in this way, at least in the short term, she wouldn't have to worry about making money.

However, what she did not expect was that the bidders seemed to show great enthusiasm for this treasure.

"Two million and two million!"

The first bid sounded, and it seemed to ignite the fighting spirit of the entire audience.

"Two million four hundred thousand!"

Immediately afterwards, someone else shouted out a higher price without hesitation.

"Two million eight hundred thousand!"

Suddenly, an old voice came, raising the price by 400,000 at once! Hua Ningyao stared at the numbers that kept refreshing on the screen curiously, and couldn't help but feel excited.

It seems that this buyer really likes this thing! Then let's try harder and let her take a good look. What is the value of something she bought casually in this era?

"three million."

"Three million times."

"Three million twice."

"Three million six hundred thousand."

"Three million six hundred thousand each time."

"four million."

"It really is an auction house. The price has doubled in an instant."

"Four million four hundred thousand."

The prices increased from 400,000 to 600,000 yuan each time they were raised. She almost thought that money was measured in tens of thousands.

The competition for the previous items was not so fierce. Is it the agarwood that is more valuable or the carving?

"five million!"

"Five million times."

"Twice five million."

"five million……"

The auctioneer's voice was a little excited. The higher the transaction price, the more commission she would get, so of course she was excited.

"Five million two hundred thousand."

At this moment, there were actually three families competing for her item at the same time! And surprisingly, the people participating in the competition were all from the third floor.

Could it be that these guys just follow the crowd? Hua Ningyao couldn't understand how her so-called sculpture could be worth more than five million. In her opinion, it was only worth three million at most.

"Five million six hundred thousand!"

Well, since someone is willing to be the sucker, then she just needs to collect the money. After all, the auction house has clear regulations: for items below five million, 25% of the transaction price is taken as commission; for items between five million and fifty million, 20% is taken; and once the transaction price exceeds fifty million, only 14.5% needs to be paid.

Anyway, for her, it is basically impossible to get a price of more than 50 million yuan, but now it has exceeded 5 million, so of course the higher the price, the better.

The commission mentioned here refers to the remaining balance. For example, if her treasure is auctioned here, the auction house has already paid her 300,000 yuan in advance, so the subsequent commission will be calculated from the amount after deducting the 300,000 yuan.

"Six million!"

At this time, the audience had begun to become restless and everyone was talking.

"Is this thing really worth such a high price? It's just a piece of agarwood with a statue of a god carved on it. Although it's very old, the carving is not really exquisite."

However, amid everyone's doubts, a new offer came in.

"Six million six hundred thousand!"

. . . . . .

At this moment, the fourth floor actually made another bid! It was really unexpected that someone from the fourth floor would show up here today. Hua Ningyao immediately became curious and was very interested in this mysterious visitor from the fourth floor.

How could she meet the person on the fourth floor? She couldn't help but ponder inwardly, wondering if this person was really as powerful and extraordinary as the rumors said.

With the fourth floor successfully bidding for the item, this intense auction finally came to an end. However, the auctioneer showed a look of regret, thinking secretly in his heart that if the third floor was not afraid of offending the people on the fourth floor and continued bidding, perhaps this treasure could be sold at a sky-high price of 7 million yuan!

What a pity...

All I heard was him shouting loudly.

"Six million six hundred thousand at a time!"

Then there was another sound.

"twice!"

The final word was given.

"Three times! OK, deal! Congratulations to the gentleman in Room 06 for successfully winning this antique!"

Here, the rooms are arranged from top to bottom. There are six rooms on the fourth floor, numbered 01 to 07, and only room was skipped, jumping directly from number to number .

Not only that, except for the fourth floor, the rooms with the number "4" on other floors were not skipped, which shows the special treatment enjoyed by the fourth floor.

Even the best viewing spot for the auction table actually belongs to the fourth floor.

Guests on the first floor have to look up to see what's happening on the stage; although the second floor is closer, it's inevitably noisy; as for the third floor, some seats have limited viewing angles, making it difficult to see the entire picture.

Only those on the fourth floor can have a panoramic view of the entire auction table.

. . . . . .

"Knock knock knock."

At this time, someone knocked on her door. Hua Ningyao took a sip of tea and said.

"Enter."

"Ms. Hua, the buyer wants to meet you. Are you willing?"

Hearing this, Hua Ningyao couldn't help but feel delighted, thinking to herself, "Oh, this is really what you want! Could this be the benefit of having an off-the-charts luck value?"

So, she deliberately put on an appearance of deep thought, and after hesitating for a while, she answered slowly.

"Ok."
