Chapter 89: Sky-high Price Container

Not to mention Henry, Paul was also furious just now.

The auctioneer began to introduce the origin of the container again, but this time it was relatively simple. Perhaps they did not know much about the container, only where it came from.

After finishing his talk, he opened the door of the container without further ado and let everyone see it for two minutes.

After two minutes, the auction officially began, and the starting price was still US$2000.

It was just an ordinary container, and no one could see anything valuable inside. Of course, it wasn't too bad, and everyone joined in the fun and made one or two bids.

Paul suddenly said, "6000 dollars!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those people immediately took them seriously.

Yes! Now it is not only the fat black man who is optimistic about Lin Yuan and his group, but also the others. They are not fools. They can bet correctly three times in a row and make so much money. They must have some unique vision.

If you still treat others as a blind cat that has caught a dead mouse, then you are simply deceiving yourself.

"6100 US dollars!" The fat black man said almost without hesitation.

No one was surprised to see this guy bargaining, but it was still pretty disgusting.

"6500 USD!"

"6700 USD!"

……

Others followed suit.

Paul found that he didn't need to fight the fat black man to death. As long as he quoted a price, someone would "assist". Seeing this, Paul smiled.

"Ten thousand dollars!" When those people calmed down a little, Paul added fuel to the fire.

The fat black man added a hundred dollars as usual.

To be honest, not to mention other people, even the auctioneer hates this kind of troublemaker.

It is undeniable that the existence of such people can sometimes help them increase the transaction price, and they can be considered "allies". But sometimes it can also do harm. Once others are familiar with this routine, they will be too lazy to follow it, which will benefit this guy, and the auctioneer will become the "victim".

Therefore, it is true that “Success and failure are both due to Xiao He”!
Those who had begun to calm down a little were encouraged by this and hurried to follow for fear of missing the opportunity to make a fortune.

This gave the fat black man a headache, and he glared at the people around him. However, this look could not scare away the idea of ​​getting rich.

Normally he is the one who disgusts others, but now he is the one who is turning against us?
The fat black guy felt a little aggrieved.

Soon, the price rose to $30,000.

The fat black man was still the same. Every time someone raised the price, he would raise it by a hundred dollars, just to test everyone's patience. He was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and he was not afraid of what others thought of him.

In the end, the price of the container reached a terrifying $8.

Paul was almost there, if it really fell into his hands, it would be bad. He looked at the fat black man and estimated that he was almost at his limit.

The happiest person is undoubtedly the auctioneer.

Unexpectedly, this ordinary container was sold at a sky-high price of 8 yuan per day.

Yes! For a container, $8 is a sky-high price.

The fat black man got the container as he wished for, at $8, and did not forget to make a provocative gesture towards Paul and others.

Lin Yuan and others laughed, and he would cry in a while.

Then, the fat black man began to clean up the items in the container. He was sure that there were treasures that the group of people valued in the container, otherwise they would not have sold them like this. So, he cleaned it up very carefully.

The others did not leave either, as they all wanted to see what treasures they could find and how much money they could make from this container worth $8.

The fat black man took out a piece of porcelain from inside. He thought that this was the treasure that Lin Yuan and his group were interested in.

Just now, from the opened container, a small part of the porcelain vase could be seen, which was why he insisted on buying it. According to his usual habits, he would be very cautious when the price reached 30,000 US dollars.

But today, seeing Lin Yuan and others earning more than 100,000 US dollars, he couldn't help himself.

"That porcelain shouldn't be valuable, right?" Paul asked.

Just now, he didn't see any porcelain. Now that the guy found a porcelain vase, he was a little panicked, afraid that he would make back his investment, or even make a profit.

In that case, he would become a clown.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's not worth much. It's a modern product, not even a replica."

"That's good, that's good!" Paul felt relieved.

"Brother Lin, how do you know it's modern?" Qiao Yufan asked.

Liu Xin seemed to notice something and explained, "There are Arabic numbers on it."

As expected, when they got a little closer, they could see Arabic numerals on the porcelain vase. This time, even Li Qiushui and Huo Qingtong felt that it must be a modern thing.

However, Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's not a matter of numbers.

Arabic numerals were introduced to China very early, but they were not widely used. "

As early as the Tang Dynasty, imported Arab merchants and Khitans introduced Arabic numerals to China through commercial and cultural exchanges.

In the Song Dynasty, with the economic prosperity and the development of commerce, Arabic numerals were gradually widely used by merchants and bankers, and mathematicians of the Song Dynasty also began to study and apply numbers.

"Not to mention Arabic numbers, there are also quite a few Arabic porcelains, which were previously used for export," said Lin Yuan.

He was not lying, especially starting from the Yuan Dynasty.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, Islamic patterns appeared on a small number of porcelains, which was a sign of Chinese culture's acceptance of Islamic culture.

The emergence of a large number of blue and white porcelains with Islamic decorative patterns in the Yuan Dynasty was a result of the Yuan government's need for porcelain for trade in the Islamic region.

During the Yongle and Xuande periods of the early Ming Dynasty, some blue and white porcelain with Arabic colors were used for political exchanges for diplomatic needs. On the other hand, it was also because of Emperor Zhengde's preference for Islamic culture.

Many museums in China preserve Arabic blue and white porcelain.

Therefore, the number is not the problem with the porcelain vase.

When everyone heard this, they seemed to agree and nodded slightly.

"So what's the problem?"

Lin Yuan: "It's the golden camellia above. This kind of golden camellia was only discovered in modern times."

As far as he knows, that extremely rare tea tree has a long history and is mainly distributed in a small part of China. It is a national first-class protected plant. Camellia chrysantha was discovered in 1933. Although it is mostly cultivated artificially, it is very rare in the wild.

In other words, this porcelain vase must have been fired after 1933.

The explanation was very reasonable, even Paul, who didn't quite understand it, understood it this time.

The fat black man was still very proud of himself, thinking it was a treasure.

It's no wonder he thought so, as most people present had the same idea. Porcelain is a Chinese work of art, and even the most dazzling business card of Chinese culture.

This is something the whole world knows.

When seeing porcelain, the first thing that comes to mind is China, without a doubt.

The fat black man even started dancing.

To be honest, there is something in the genes of black people when it comes to dancing.
