Chapter 149 The auction begins
Sitting in this position, Chen Dong happened to be able to clearly see every move of Xu Zhixia in the audience.
Xu Zhixia stood on the stage with a dignified temperament, and there was a sense of coldness among the beauties, as if the woman who was acting coquettishly and wanted to kiss him just now was another person.
"Thank you all for coming to this charity auction. On behalf of the Xu family, I hereby promise that all the money raised today will be donated to Good Mountain!"
"We will register all those who have donated items, and the names of these people will be revealed by Mr. Xu, and all of them will be engraved on the merit tablet."
"In the end, I hope everyone can take pictures of what they want."
Xu Zhixia has never liked to talk about this kind of scene, but some occasions are unavoidable.
Xu Zhixia bowed slightly, and then heard a burst of applause.
The auction has also officially started.
Because this auction is held by the Xu family, the first item must belong to the Xu family.
I saw a woman in a cheongsam approaching slowly, with a ruyi on the tray in her hand.
"The first auction item is the auspicious Ruyi donated by Mr. Xu. This auspicious Ruyi was left over from the end of the Tang Dynasty, and it is relatively well preserved."
The master of ceremonies slowly introduced: "The starting price is 500 million, and each increase must not be less than [-]."
This auspicious ruyi is lifelike. In ancient times, only the royal family would use this kind of auspicious ruyi. Its whole body is made of jadeite, and the price is relatively low.
Soon someone raised the sign in his hand.
Chen Dong was not very interested in these, so he just glanced at them hastily.
But just two minutes later, the Ruyi price has already increased to 2 million.
In the end, it was sold to a rich man for 1000 or [-] million.
The rich man who spent the 1000 and [-] million didn't even bat an eye. This shows how rich the people present today are.
The atmosphere was slowly lifted, and Mr. Xu donated a total of five things.
The combined amount of donations is as high as [-] million.
Xu Zhixia also donated two items. Although they were not as precious as the ones donated by Mr. Xu, they were still worth more than 500 million.
After the Xu family started, it was the things donated by other guests.
Those people donated all kinds of things, everything.
Antiques are relatively common, and some people even donate the houses they don't live in.
However, none of these things were of interest to Chen Dong.
After Xu Zhixia finished her work, she hurried up to accompany Chen Dong. She was afraid that sitting here alone would be boring.
"How is it? Is there anything you like?"
Chen Dong shook his head, he was not interested in these things.
"Then just wait, maybe there will be something you like."
Xu Zhixia was already ready to spend money for Chen Dong, but the auction was coming to an end.
Chen Dong still didn't move at all.
"The set of items we are going to auction next is quite special. It is said that it is a silver needle that Hua Tuo used back then. I wonder if everyone here has heard of Hua Tuo's "Twelve Silver Needles""
Everyone agreed with each other, obviously they had never heard of such a thing.
Only Chen Dong's expression changed, how could the twelve silver needles be here?
After Hua Tuo was executed that year, his disciples parted ways, and they secretly took away most of Hua Tuo's valuables.
But this set of twelve silver needles was nowhere to be seen. At that time, the most valuable thing on Hua Tuo's body was this set of twelve silver needles.
Because it is rumored that Hua Tuo is so powerful by relying on these twelve silver needles.
But no one has seen these twelve silver needles, so gradually, this silver needle has become a legend.
Chen Dong has also been curious, is the silver needle real or fake?
Didn't expect to show up here.
Xu Zhixia also noticed that Chen Dong was interested in this silver needle, and she even thought about it, no matter how high the price was, she would buy this thing later.
The result is that Xu Zhixia overestimated the influence of this thing, because no one wanted to buy it.
In the end, Xu Zhixia just bought this set of silver needles by adding [-] yuan to the starting price.
The total price is only 100 million.
The rich man who sold this set of silver needles probably thought that this set of silver needles was useless at home.
After the staff in the background registered the information, they sent the silver needle to the box.
Before Chen Dong even had time to take out his bank card, Xu Zhixia had already paid the money.
This made Chen Dong a little helpless.
If you look closely at the twelve silver needles, you will find that there is nothing special about the twelve silver needles.
If there is anything special, it is that it has not changed at all after more than 1000 years.
"I didn't expect there to be silver needles used by Hua Tuo in this auction." Xu Zhixia was also curious.
The twelve silver needles were just a rumor, and Chen Dong was not sure whether the silver needles were actually used by Hua Tuo.
"The twelve silver needles are fake."
After a while, Chen Dong said suddenly.
Xu Zhixia looked at him in surprise: "Fake?"
"The story of the Twelve Silver Needles is false, so naturally there are no Twelve Silver Needles." Chen Dong suddenly laughed.
He didn't dare to say such a thing with such certainty before, but after seeing this set of silver needles, he was suddenly able to be sure.
"How do you know it's fake?"
"Material." Chen Dong directly picked up the longest silver needle among the twelve silver needles: "I have to say that the people who made this set of silver needles are very delicate, and everything is made according to ancient materials."
"But he missed a very important point."
Chen Dong gently squeezed the silver needle with his thumb and index finger: "In ancient times, silverware was used a lot. Whether it is acupuncture or drug testing, silver is inseparable."
"As for their silver at that time, we call it ancient silver."
Xu Zhixia: "Isn't this set of silver needles made of ancient silver?"
Thinking that she might be deceived, Xu Zhixia became a little angry.
She finally gave Chen Dong a gift, but it was still a fake?
Chen Dong wasn't too impressed by the fakes he received: "The other party thought he was very careful, but often time is the biggest failure."
"The reason why his set of silver needles can be sold at such a high price is nothing more than taking up the title of Hua Tuo."
"Silver can last for thousands of years, but it can be used as the reason why this set of silver needles is preserved so completely."
"But it doesn't explain the material of the silver."
There are no twelve silver needles in this world at all, Chen Dong suddenly figured it out, the so-called twelve silver needles are just a gimmick used by capitalists to attract others.
It's a pity that Hua Tuo is the originator of Chinese medicine, and he is also very good at surgery and surgery.
It's just that he didn't expect that after his death, people would use his fame to make money and suppress his last bit of value.
Chen Dong undoubtedly hated this kind of person.
"Return the money."
Chen Dong knew that Xu Zhixia was not short of money, but he couldn't suffer from being dumb.
Xu Zhixia nodded, even if Chen Dong didn't say anything, she would go to that person to discuss it.
Fake goods are never used in charity auctions, this is an unwritten rule in their circle.
In the end, someone knowingly committed a crime, so don't blame her for being rude.
She has already thought about how to deal with this person when the auction is over. If the other party doesn't know about it, it's fine. If he knows it's a fake and still shows it, then the circle won't be able to tolerate him.
The waiter standing outside the door suddenly knocked on the door: "Mr. Xu, there is a man called Mr. Zhao who wants to see you."
Mr. Zhao?Xu Zhixia didn't have any impression of this person in his mind: "No see."
It's just an insignificant stranger, let alone not knowing each other, even if they do, who has the right to disturb her being alone with Chen Dong?
Zhao Zilong, who was originally in high spirits, was stopped outside the door, and he didn't even see Xu Zhixia's face.
He participated in this auction today specifically for Xu Zhixia.
Looking at the tightly closed box, Zhao Zilong felt a puff of air stuck in his chest.
He seemed to know why Xu Zhixia didn't see him, it must be because of the dog man in the last video.
That's right, Zhao Zilong has also watched that video, but that doesn't stop him from pursuing Xu Zhixia.
Seeing that there was no movement in the private room for a long time, Zhao Zilong had no choice but to return to his personal private room with a sigh of relief.
As the auction drew to a close, Chen Dong's auction items were also taken out.
