As the old man finished speaking, the two women also walked over with a painting carefully.

This is the item number 7866547. It is an oil painting. According to the introduction above, this oil painting has not been too long, probably about a hundred years, but the person who painted this oil painting is still very famous.

Henry Matisse, a famous French painter, the founder and main representative of Brutalist oil paintings.

He is also a sculptor, printmaker, and a master who has lived to the modern era. He died in 1954, so his oil paintings were not very valuable at the beginning, but in recent years, he has been very popular.

Someone once said that he and Picasso were the two greatest painters of the 20th century, and they can be compared with Picasso. It can be seen that the value of his paintings lies. Using his paintings to make an opening scene is also a very good choice.

Seeing this painting, Jiang Hai couldn't help but jumped around with his eyebrows.

But the guests at other tables seemed very concerned, and many people started to study it at that time.

"The minimum price of this painting is 800,000 US dollars, and each time the price is no less than 50,000 US dollars, please call for the price." At this time, the old man on the stage had already introduced the situation of the painting and began to speak. As he finished speaking, someone raised the sign in the distance, 800,000, and someone had already bid. However, the price was suppressed by others before he could stay for a second.

80,85,90,95,100... Although no one directly calls for a high price, every time you raise a sign, it means 50,000 US dollars.

Unconsciously, in just about a minute, the price of this painting was hyped up to US$1.6 million. At this time, the bidding sound slowed down, and the main competitors also became the appearance of those four or five companies.

"These are all very powerful existences, and they are also the main potential buyers of your armor in a while." Just as Jiang Hai was watching the fun there, the person in charge of Phillips walked to Jiang Hai's table with a smile and sat next to Jiang Hai.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Jiang Hai was bored here. He didn't mind letting the person in charge explain it next to him.

After all, it was his first time participating in such an auction, and it was inevitable that he was unsure.

"The main potential buyer of your armor this time is the four waves of people, and the first wave is the Arab at Table 103." Pointing at the table in front of Jiang Hai, the person in charge said in a low voice.

"Du Famen?" Jiang Hai still remembered the situation of this person and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Oh? Do you know him?" When he heard that Jiang Hai actually knew his name, the person in charge couldn't help but look at him unexpectedly.

"It's not considered acquaintance. I met him once when I bought a yacht. I just introduced my names to each other." I shook my head. According to Jiang Hai's guidelines, I obviously met twice, but it was not considered acquaintance.

"Oh, then let me introduce it to you. Dufamen Weiha Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is not an ordinary person. His father was originally the third prince of Dubai from the previous generation and was a brother to the current king. However, he did not inherit the throne later, but he was assigned a large number of oil fields. This is his only legal heir now. The Minister of Defense in Dubai is his uncle and the Minister of Tourism is his uncle. He mainly manages food issues and is a real tycoon." He could not help but be surprised by the introduction of the person in charge. Unexpectedly, this young man who looks not old is really a tycoon.

"There are three forces, one of them is the Spanish. Your armor is the armor of Philip III of Spain. Fortunately, you don't know where your armor was obtained. If you got it from some shipwrecks, they would have jumped long ago." The Spanish have always had a bad reputation in the international market, especially in terms of shipwrecks. Although Spain is located in the EU, the living standards of their people are really not much different from those in the country. The best is that there are benefits and so on.

Others, whether they are income, medical care, public facilities, etc., are not much different from those in China's first-tier cities.

Of course, compared with some second- and third-tier, or even rural areas, they still have a great advantage, after all, the country is not very big.

"There are also a wave of people, those are Soviet Russian businessmen and real giants. In this world, except for Chinese, the only existence in the world who can compete with the rich people in the Middle East." After introducing the Spaniards, the person in charge pointed to the other side, where there was a table of white people with big backs and big noses.

Jiang Hai's home is in Ice City. There are many big Soviet girls in Ice City, and of course there are some men. Jiang Hai is not unfamiliar with Soviet Russians.

"The last wave of people who are able to buy are the British over there. The British have a grudge against the Spanish. Everyone knows this, so they will not easily let the Spanish take back this pair of armor." Finally, the person in charge introduced a table of people in a corner farthest, and that table of people was the British.

Looking at these four waves of people, Jiang Hai shrugged. He was not interested in these people. As long as he could make more money, who these people were and what they did had nothing to do with him.

When the person in charge introduced these businesses, the first oil painting was successfully auctioned off.

The final transaction price of this oil painting was US$3.7 million, which is not particularly high, but it is definitely not low.

The one who bought this oil painting was exactly the group of Soviet Russians who were referred to by the person in charge just now. The Far Eastern giants are not just a joke.

After the first work was auctioned, the second work attracted Jiang Hai's complaints. If the first Beasty painting could at least be seen, it was something, then the second painting would be an inexplicable thing.

It was like a child holding paint and buying it on a cloth...

But this painting was so popular that it was even higher than the first one, with the final transaction price of US$4.1 million.

Well, this world is too crazy, Jiang Hai really can't figure it out, is this the legendary art?

At least these people buy a painting and have to know what is drawn on it. What is drawn? Is it ghost?

After the complaints were over, Jiang Hai was too lazy to pay attention to it, and the auction was still there.

The third one was a set of medieval furniture, which was useful, and finally sold for 3.2 million yuan. It was hard to understand. This set of mahogany furniture was not as valuable as the ghost painting, which made people speechless.

The fourth piece is a pottery jar, and the fifth piece is a weapon. According to legend, Napoleon once took it, but some of the weapons Napoleon took were, and this thing was not too valuable. However, it was finally offered its current highest price, which sold for US$9.6 million and was bought by the Soviet boss. If the Soviet bosses were the most worth showing off.

Those were two, one of which was the record of Germany's blitzkrieg in World War II.

Germany had to develop the southern record and invade Africa because the Soviet Union could not defeat it.

Another achievement is that when Napoleon swept across Europe, you should know that Napoleon almost unified all Europe and finally fell on the head of the Soviet Union. Therefore, Napoleon's collection is still very valuable in the Soviet Union.

The auction continued, and soon Jiang Hai's first collection was the pair of blue and white porcelain vases. In the end, the porcelain vase was sold for $1.65 million. The auction house still made some profits. After all, if the auction was sold in Miami, only 35% of the national tax was paid, which means $577,500, which is the tax. In addition, they made money.

Of course, there are naturally discounts and exemptions for large auction houses like them, and it is estimated that it will be almost done if you pay 500,000 yuan.

In addition to giving Jiang Hai a million, they also made more than 100,000 yuan, which was a small profit.

After this pair of blue and white porcelain vases, Jiang Hai was already a little distracted because he was not very interested in what was behind.

Perhaps there are indeed many differences in the cultures between the East and the West, at least Jiang Hai does not think that these things are worthy of his care too much.

Jiang Hai just took a rough look at the fifteen items he took afterwards, but he didn't like it.

More than an hour later, we arrived at the last piece of collection, which was the finale tonight. Jiang Hai's golden armor of Philip III was coming. As the auctioneer finished speaking, two strong men came over with a huge box.

As the box opened, the armor inside also appeared in front of everyone.

There was no need for the auctioneer to say anything more. When the armor lit up, almost everyone exclaimed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the armor in front of him, the auctioneer slowly walked over: "I don't need to say more. I think everyone is basically coming for this armor. Philip III, although his reputation is not particularly good in European history, he is a man who once ruled the entire Atlantic Ocean. We don't need to say more about the collection value of his armor. I think the experts here understand that this armor will start to auction for 100 million US dollars, but each time it is increased by 1 million US dollars..."

"130 million!" However, before his words could be finished, they were interrupted by the voice below. Following the eyes of everyone, they found that the bid was the one on the table in Spain. It was obvious that they were very anxious.

"150 million." Unfortunately, not everyone will give them face. At least according to what the person in charge said, the other three companies that are capable of competing tonight will not easily let go of this collection, so the UK bid first.

"Two million." But before everyone could recover, the Soviet giants over there raised their hands.
Chapter completed!
