Obviously, no one believes that Chen Feng can acquire the Royal Jade.

After all, there are just too many people eyeing the Royal Jade this time.

And most of them are high-profile figures.

Such as those in the Premier and VIP sections.

These high-profile individuals, with their status and wealth.

Can ordinary people compete with them?

As long as they join the bidding, people below simply have no chance.

And now, Chen Feng.

A guy sitting in the regular guest area.

Is confident enough to say he will bid for the Royal Jade.

To everyone, this is simply a joke, a very laughable joke.

It's like an ant saying it is stronger than an elephant.

Utterly ridiculous.

No one present will believe it.

However, to the ridicule of the crowd.

Chen Feng just gives a slight smile, not bothering to waste words with them.

Such talk is purely a waste of saliva.

Actual action is the best proof!

Soon, the auction officially begins.

An elderly man with white hair, dressed in a black suit, walks onto the auction stage.

The old man looks about seventy and over, with a full head of silver hair, yet he seems quite spirited.

And he is the chief auctioneer of Xianghui Auction House, Tian Hanshan.

In the Coastal auction circle and even the entire Huaxia auction circle, Tian Hanshan is very famous.

Especially in Coastal.

His status in the Coastal auction circle.

Is akin to Jordan in basketball, Maradona in football.

Which shows his significant position.

Of course, given his age, he should ordinarily be retired, enjoying his later years at home.

But since this is the auction held by Xianghui Auction House to commemorate its fiftieth anniversary.

Such a significant and grand auction.

Xianghui Auction House naturally cannot randomly find an auctioneer to host.

So they have invited Tian Hanshan, Elder Tian, to come out.

With Tian Hanshan's ascent to the stage, the auction is formally underway.

Dragging his aging body, Tian Hanshan comes in front of the crowd, smiles slightly, and says:

"Welcome esteemed guests to our auction today. I will host this auction for everyone."

"To be honest, all of you who came today are truly in for a treat."

"As the fiftieth-anniversary auction of our company, all today's auction items will be extraordinary, rarities almost never seen before, all kinds of rare treasures that will definitely broaden your horizons!"

Having said this, Tian Hanshan glances at the time on his watch, feels it's about right, then smiles slightly and continues: "Alright, enough said, let's present the first auction item!"

After his words, a ceremonial lady in a red cheongsam walks up from the side.

In the hands of the ceremonial lady is a tray.

And within that tray, quietly lies a scroll painting.

If nothing unexpected, it should be an ancient painting.

The ceremonial lady, holding the tray, stops beside Tian Hanshan.

Upon seeing this, Tian Hanshan carefully lifts the scroll from the tray and then looks at the crowd below and says:

"This first auction item is of extraordinary provenance, as is widely known, Tang Yin's paintings of ladies are exceptional, today almost impossible to come by.

"But among Tang Bohu's many works, besides the lady paintings, there is another masterpiece, namely the Spring Palace painting!

"Tang Bohu is called a romantic talent, partly because his long-time involvement in places of leisure, using prostitutes and mistresses as models, creating vivid, enticing paintings, whose value goes without saying!"

Having said this, Tian Hanshan carefully unrolls the scroll to present the painting to everyone.

Of course, given it's a Spring Palace painting, its content is naturally inappropriate for children.

However, as all present are adults, no one minds that.

"You all know the reputation of Xianghui Auction House, this piece is undoubtedly an authentic work by Tang Yin, so now we start the bidding, with a base price of ten million, each increment must not be less than five hundred thousand, bidding begins!"

Tian Hanshan strokes his beard and says.

And as soon as his words fall, someone immediately bids.

"Fifteen million!"

"Twenty million!"

"Twenty-five million!"

"Thirty million!"

"Forty million!"

"Fifty million!"

...

In no time, the price of this painting reaches one hundred and fifty million.

Finally acquired by a wealthy individual in the VIP section.

Regarding this price, Tian Hanshan is quite satisfied, smiles slightly, and says: "Alright, let's present the second auction item!"

Having spoken, Tian Hanshan carefully rolls Tang Bohu's Spring Palace painting back up, places it on the tray, and lets the ceremonial lady take it away.

After the auction ends, once the wealthy individual pays, the responsible party will package the painting and give it to the wealthy individual.

Just after the previous ceremonial lady leaves.

Shortly after, another ceremonial lady walks up.

Similarly, this ceremonial lady holds a tray.

On the tray is a very beautiful vase.

Once this ceremonial lady stops beside him.

Tian Hanshan introduces it to everyone: "This second auction item is a Jun porcelain vase from the Song Dynasty kiln. Jun porcelain, as everyone knows, is one of Huaxia's famous five porcelains, with a history of over thirteen hundred years, regarded as a national treasure, and this Jun porcelain vase is a vase used by Song Huizong, so I won't need to speak of its value, starting at twenty million, each increment must not be less than five hundred thousand, bidding begins!"

With Tian Hanshan's words falling.

The venue is instantly filled with bidding voices.

And the price of this Jun porcelain vase.

Also climbs from the original twenty million, soaring upwards.

Again acquired by a wealthy individual in the VIP section for one hundred and seventy million.

This is because those in the Premier section did not bid.

After all, they are all targeting the main event later.

The previous appetizers are clearly not appealing to them.

Soon, the auction continues with the third auction item, then the fourth, fifth...

In total, each auction item sells for over hundreds of millions, even billions.

No wonder, just as Tian Hanshan said.

All the auction items today will be extraordinary.

And this is just the beginning.

Even so, merely the auctioned items from the front row, taking out any one of them, at any other auction, could serve as the highlight.

But at today's auction, they can only serve as front appetizers.

This displays that the further the auction goes, those items will be how dignified, extraordinary.

It seems Xianghui Auction House has been meticulously preparing for this fiftieth-anniversary auction for a long time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to gather so many high-quality items in a short period.
