Although Henry is a local snake, most of the things he can do are legal, and even some illegal things are hidden under legal procedures and procedures.

The same is true for the auction house. The contract authorized to entrust the auction house is signed before transporting the Broken Sword into the bank's vault.

From the moment the contract was signed, the auction house was responsible for the broken sword until the auction was completed.

If the auction fails, the Broken Sword will be returned to Henry. If the auction is successful, the auction house will do everything. After receiving the payment from the bidder, the Broken Sword will be given to the successful bidder and then the money will be paid to Henry. The auction house will earn commissions from it.

The auction house's external publicity this time is quite gimmick, mainly in accordance with the two aspects required by Henry.

However, the auction house's external publicity was to switch the two conditions to promote it.

The first thing to promote is that this broken sword is cast by meteorite iron, and the second thing to promote is that the person who owns the broken sword is believed to be an ancient artifact. The auction reserve price is determined based on these two levels, and the reserve price is really a sky-high price, as high as 20 million US dollars.

It is worth mentioning that the auction house's publicity is quite good, which is also due to the fact that it is currently a global network. However, the auction house still spent a lot of money to give online companies specializing in publicity, so that the network companies can create momentum for this auction.

Professional matters still need to be operated by professionals, and the publicity effect is amazing. Many people have paid attention to this auction and the auction's bidding items.

Any item has a market, and the same is true for antiques and cultural relics. Currently, the world's largest antiques and cultural relics auction buyer is in Chen Jian's country.

This broken sword is not very attractive to buyers in Chen Jian’s country. What they prefer is the antiques and cultural relics of their own country.

Although you need to pay a deposit before the auction and know who participates in the auction, at this auction, the auction items are not just this broken sword, but also many other auction items. Even if you know someone has paid the deposit, you don’t know which auction item they want to bid for.

A few days later, the auction officially began.

Chen Jian, No. 2, and Henry went to the auction site early. The purpose of their trip to the auction site was naturally not to participate in the auction, but to know who bids for the Broken Sword.

This auction house often auctions some antiques and cultural relics, and is considered a well-known auction company in the industry.

Most of the things sold this time are mainly antiques and cultural relics, and the Broken Sword is quite in line with the types of bids for this auction.

The auction house also has arrangements for the order of auction items. At the beginning, the auction items were sold at ordinary prices. Even antiques and cultural relics were not very high in the market, but very ordinary prices.

The purpose of this is naturally to proceed step by step. The more you get to the auction items, the higher the auction price and the more intense the bidding!

Starting from the third auction item, the auction price was raised, reaching the auction price of millions of dollars. This is a piece of porcelain from Chen Jian's country. After several rounds of fierce competition, the price of this porcelain quickly soared to a transaction price of four million dollars.

The auction price of lots after lots is getting higher and higher.

A calligraphy and painting of Chen Jian’s country where he is located is the final transaction price of the hammer drops up to tens of millions of dollars, which is really a stunning price.

"It's ours!" No. 2 lowered his voice and said to Chen Jian sitting beside him.

Chen Jian nodded silently. The auction item after the calligraphy and painting was the broken sword.

"I will pay attention to the bidder!" Henry sat on the other side of Chen Jian, and lowered his voice and said: "The list of all the people participating in the bidding is here with me. I only need to know their bid number to know who it is!"

Henry has already obtained the list of people participating in the bidding. Their bid was to hold a sign, and each number plate corresponds to a bidder. As long as you know the number plate you bid, you can know who it is.

The chief auctioneer was the one who presided over the auction. He was very good at motivating people's emotions, so he was naturally very suitable for this bowl of rice.

Just like other bidding items have just been put out, the chief auctioneer began to tell the details of the auction item. After some discussion, the auction will be announced and the people below will bid.

However, after the chief auctioneer introduced the situation of the Broken Sword and announced that he had started bidding, the following was surprisingly quiet.

In other words, no one raised a bid!

This situation is a bit unfamiliar. The chief auctioneer is still very eye-catching. He started a splash of rhetoric and then once again signaled that he could bid below.

However, as before, no one still bids!

When this situation occurred, the chief auctioneer was helpless and felt a little embarrassed, and finally announced that the broken sword failed to shoot.

If no one bids, they will naturally fail, and there is nothing to say.

The next item on the list is an exquisite porcelain from Chen Jian’s country. This kind of porcelain is rarely survived and was eventually sold at a price of 30 million US dollars, which is as high as 200 million yuan!

Seeing the result of the failure to sell, Henry shook his head helplessly. Although Chen Jian had previously inferred that someone might offer a high price, the reality is in front of him. Not to mention the high price, no one paid the lowest price.

"Are you here to participate in the auction? Everyone thinks that this broken sword is just cast by meteorite, not antiques and cultural relics, and is not worth that much money?" No. 2 whispered.

This is what Henry wants to say. If the base price is not determined based on antiques and cultural relics, only meteorite castings can be determined, and the minimum price of one or two million US dollars can be set. Maybe someone will bid, and the final transaction price of the hammer is likely to be several million US dollars.

"I don't know!" Chen Jian shook his head straightforwardly, and then said to Henry: "Since the shooting has failed, after a while, we will take away the broken sword first, and you can make up the procedures later!"

Henry nodded and agreed, without saying anything more.

After the auction ended, Henry directly found the chief auctioneer and took away the broken sword. As for the procedures, Henry didn't need to make up for it. The auction house would naturally go to Henry to make up for the procedures.

Not long after, Henry, Chen Jian, and No. 2 returned to Henry's bar with the Broken Sword.

Henry was very tactful and did not bother Chen Jian and No. 2. The broken sword failed to slap, which was completely contrary to Chen Jian's previous thoughts. Henry didn't want to get into trouble at this time.

"What should I do next?" No. 2 asked after Henry left.

"What else can I do?" Chen Jian said helplessly: "It's over here and I'm ready to fulfill your wish!"
