Chapter 140 Surprise surprise
"This item was personally guided by my owner and the craftsmen took three months to cast! Moreover, according to the craftsmen and my owner, this item was only fortified by chance. If you want to make another item like this, there is basically no possibility! So... the starting price of this 'Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix' is 1,000 guan!"
The one who lifted to the booth was a glass sculpture "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix". It would be fine if it was just a general transparent glass sculpture, but it would not surprise everyone. The key is that the sculpture is colorful, and each bird has a different color, and the phoenix at the top is even more colorful and extremely beautiful!
Some people may say that it is not a great thing to dye the glass sculptures in the later stage, but... the color of the entire sculptures is easily seen by everyone sitting in the audience, and it is not dyed in the later stage!
"How about Dad, this thing is good? If no one had bought the glass window today, I would never have sold this thing. This is something I was going to give to Mom!" Li Chengqian took His Majesty Li Er's surprised expression and said arrogantly.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er's reaction made Li Chengqian's pride disappear without a trace in an instant!
"Boy, you never know how to respect you or me if you have any good things. You just know how to sell and sell. Are you so short of money?"
Li Chengqian: “…”
...
"Three thousand guan!"
"Five thousand!"
"Six thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
The bidding was extremely fierce from the beginning. As Li Chengqian said, although these people care about face, when they encounter huge temptations, they can throw away face and other things at any time!
Li Chengqian was very happy to watch the crowds raising prices in the box. Although this thing was really done with a lot of effort and it was really difficult to copy, but... after all, it was just a piece of glass, and in Li Chengqian's opinion, it was not as good as the golden copper coins!
But His Majesty Li Er, who is in the same room, is not so happy. He also likes this thing very much. When he saw it, he already decided that this thing could only belong to him...
However, if the people below really buy it at a high price, he wouldn't have the same face to ask the other party for it!
So, His Majesty Li Er directly called Eunuch Liu on the side, whispered a few words, and the other party quickly left the box.
Of course, Li Chengqian did not notice all this. He only focused on the rising bidding below!
After a while, the bidding atmosphere that had gradually calmed down rose again, because someone directly doubled the bidding at this time!
"Fifty thousand coins!"
As soon as this number was shouted, everyone turned their eyes in horror to Princess Pingyang’s princess Huo Guogong Chai Shao, who had been sitting in the corner and had never bid!
Even Li Chengqian in the box looked at his uncle in surprise. He really didn't expect that he was so courageous and directly increased the price to 50,000 guan!
"Fifty thousand guan! Fifty thousand guan is the first time... the second time... the third time! The deal is made! Congratulations to Duke Huo for obtaining this 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix'!" As the Qiuxiang auction hammer fell, the sculpture was finally photographed by Chai Shao. Compared to everyone's loss, he seemed very calm, and smiled and bowed to everyone to signal.
His Majesty Li Er, who was in the private room, also smiled with satisfaction.
"Dad, have you seen it? It's 50,000 yuan, but it actually sold 50,000 yuan! I originally thought it would be good to sell 10,000 yuan!" Li Chengqian said excitedly.
But His Majesty Li Er's reaction was mediocre, and he just smiled faintly and did not answer Li Chengqian's words.
It was not until a few days later that Li Chengqian truly understood what his smile meant today!
...
In the following time, several very good things were auctioned, all of which were sold at good prices... Originally, these things were all planned to be shipped to the Western Regions, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. He really didn't expect that no one would bid for the glass window, so he could only take out these things and act as the "protagonist" for the auction!
"Thank you all for your generosity, today's auction ends here, again..."
Just as Qiu Xiang was about to announce the end of the auction, someone suddenly interrupted her, "Wait a minute, aren't there anything else that hasn't been filmed? Why is it going to end?"
"Huh?" Qiu Xiang looked at the person who was talking in confusion. It was the Duke of Huo who had just bought the "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" at a high price!
"I don't know what the prince means..."
"Don't you want to sell those glass windows... You said just now that the starting price was 500 cents, right?"
"Yes, my grandfather..."
"That's fine, then I'll pay 500 trump cards and buy a place!"
Chai Shao's performance made everyone around him confused. Li Xiaogong, who had a very personal relationship with him, couldn't help but ask, "Brother Sichang, you are..."
"Haha, the doors and windows in the home have been disrepaired and I wanted to replace them with new ones. These glass windows are just right for use!"
After Chai Shao's words, it seemed to cause a chain reaction, and everyone else present also spoke.
"What Duke Huo said is that the doors and windows in a certain house have not been repaired for many years and are very dilapidated. I have long thought of replacing them. I also need a set of glass windows!"
"What a coincidence, the house in my house was damaged by water last year and was seriously corrupt. I originally thought that I would ask someone to change it when the weather gets warmer. Now it's better to have this glass window!"
"Yes, I didn't know why last year. There were many insects and ants in my mansion. Not only were the doors and windows seriously damaged, but even the beams needed to be replaced. Buy some glass windows first and replace them when they are newly repaired!"
...
Li Chengqian looked at the "performance" of the princes and nobles below speechlessly, and really wanted to shout "Where are your faces?"
He had known that these people were shameless, and anyone who could sit in their positions had already developed a thicker face than the city wall. However, today these people still refreshed their understanding of their shamelessness!
In the end, all the glass windows were sold, and they were better than what Li Chengqian expected. Those who did not bid for the auction told Xia He before leaving that as long as new glass was produced, they would be the first to sell it to them...
"Boy, when will you give me those cups you promised me?"
The princes and nobles left, and His Majesty Li Er and Li Chengqian would certainly not stay here. Leaving the "Jibao Tower", the father and son came all the way to "food is the sky" to solve the problem of the Five Insect Temple.
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, "What does it have to do with you when selling glass?"
"Hmph, do you think your uncle really wants that glass?"
"Ah? Did you arrange it together?"
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said nothing, but picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth.
"Dad, how do you know that as long as your uncle takes the initiative to bid, others will also bid?"
His Majesty Li Er did not directly answer Li Chengqian's question, but slowly wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth and said, "Want to know?"
Li Chengqian nodded, and His Majesty Li Er pointed to the wine glass in front of him... The meaning was obvious, and he asked Li Chengqian to pour him wine!
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes speechlessly, but he still obediently filled His Majesty Li Er with the wine.
"Tsk..." His Majesty Li Er picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and savored it carefully before swallowing it, "It's indeed a fine wine!"
Li Chengqian said with a dark face: "If you don't want to forget it, this fine wine may not be stocked..."
His Majesty Li Er glared at Li Chengqian and said, "Why are so stingy to your mother, why are you so stingy to me? You don't know how to respect me if you have any good things!"
Facing His Majesty Li Er's "condemnation", Li Chengqian didn't care at all, and curling his lips was considered a response to the other party!
Chapter completed!
