“2 billion?”
“Damn! 2 billion?”
“Lin Yide is quite impressive, how many loans did he apply for?”O
“Can the Jiangnan Museum really afford this?”
“Do not split the payment with any installment loans! Hahaha!”
Everyone ridiculed the Jiangnan Museum as it seemed to have outshined both the Forbidden City Museum and the Shanghai Museum.
“Heh, 2.1 billion!” Long Jianfei of the Forbidden City Museum did not even bat an eye. He immediately raised his bid. For such an artifact, it had already become a target for the Forbidden City Museum. So this time, no matter what, the Forbidden City Museum was determined to go all out.
“2.3 billion!” The Shanghai Museum did not waste any time and directly added 200 million to the bid. They had a do-or-die attitude today. Long Jianfei’s reputation would be of no use here. No matter who came from the Forbidden City Museum, it would not make a difference.
“Heh, Sun Daozhen, are you going to fight against the Forbidden City Museum until the end?” Long Jianfei chuckled.
“No offense, but the Shanghai Museum needs this treasure sword!” Sun Daozhen, a middle-aged man, was relatively younger and considered a junior in the field of cultural relics. He disliked those who used their seniority to get their way. Wasn’t he a respected figure himself?
Everyone was at a loss for words. Had these two become rivals?
“Our Jiangnan Museum bids 2.5 billion!” Obviously, this Taia sword was also a must-have for the Jiangnan Museum. Long Jianfei instinctively looked over when he heard the bid. However, after seeing the man with the hat beside Lin Yide… Even though he was well-covered, Long Jianfei still recognized a familiar look in his eyes.
Long Jianfei stared for a while. At this moment, the man’s figure and demeanor matched someone in his memory. This person was actually one of the top three figures in Jiangnan… No wonder the Jiangnan Museum could be so extravagant this time. It seemed they had received local government support.
“Our Guangdi Museum gives up! 2.5 billion for a single Taia sword? Have you all gone mad?” The Guangdi Museum had also obtained support from the local Guangdi government. However, their funds were limited. The funds they had applied for amounted to just over 5 billion. They were not a match. Seeing such a high price, they had no choice but to give up.
“Finally, one less competitor!” Lin Yide breathed a sigh of relief. Now, the only competitors left were the Shanghai Museum, the Jiangnan Museum, and the Forbidden City Museum. However, he could not let his guard down just yet. After all, the funds of the Shanghai and Forbidden City Museums seemed bottomless. Who knew how much financial support they had received? One was the most economically developed region in the country. The other was the pinnacle of power. Both were tough opponents, and it would be challenging to snatch a piece of meat from their mouths.
“2.6 billion! ” Sun Daozhen of the Shanghai Museum bid.
“2.8 billion!” The Forbidden City Museum bid.
“2.9 billion!” The Shanghai Museum bid again, “No, I’ll raise it to 3 billion!”
“3.2 billion!”
Damn!
With Long Jianfei’s latest bid, it seemed that the Shanghai Museum had nothing more to say. The room went silent for half a minute.
“You old man, I’ll just wait and see how you’ll compete for the ultimate treasure among treasures, the national treasure among national treasures, the Imperial Jade Seal later on!” Sun Daozhen gritted his teeth, apparently giving up on the Tai’a sword. After all, no matter how impressive this artifact was, it could not compare to the Imperial Jade Seal and the Nine Zhou Ding. If he spent so much money now, how would the Forbidden City Museum compete later?
Of course, Lin Yide, seeing such a high price, had no choice but to give up and plan to compete for the Nine Zhou Ding.
The Tai’a sword was ultimately won by Long Jianfei of the Forbidden City Museum.
“The Tai’a sword went for 3.2 billion! Truly terrifying!” Luo Feng, sitting in the audience, stared at the giant projector screen in front of him. Even he felt suffocated.
Damn! Was everything from Emperor Qin that expensive? A sword for 3.2 billion? Perhaps in the beginning, this sword was merely used by Emperor Qin to trim his nails…
Hahaha. That was just a joke. But, to be honest, it’s not impossible.
“Um, Shishi, you…” Luo Feng turned his head and saw that Li Shishi was sitting next to him, nervously gripping his waistcoat. Her soft chest was undoubtedly pressed against Luo Feng’s arm. Luo Feng could feel the tenderness of her twin peaks.
“Ah, sorry…” Li Shishi lowered her head shyly. She was too nervous. Under such tense circumstances, it was impossible not to be anxious. Even Luo Feng, with his big heart, was starting to sweat. What about Li Shishi?
“Next item!”
“I think this should be something that all the wealthy people and museums around the world would love, right?”
“This artifact, in ancient times, was called the Suihou Pearl!”
“Our Mr. Luo has specially invited mineral and geological experts to authenticate it. According to the appraisal, there was indeed the presence and mining of diamonds, also known as adamantine, in the region of the ancient Sui Kingdom!”
