Chapter: 212
However, when Bao Fugui lifted up the curtain covering the stage, the crowd suddenly looked disappointed.
Because on the cart was a large piece of battered coral rock with seaweed and dried shells attached to it!!
The audience below erupted into heated debate, completely unable to understand why Treasure Hall would consider this broken stone as the pièce de résistance.
At that moment, Bao Fugui just began to explain.
"Everyone, please calm down. This is our auction's pièce de résistance, a natural coral!"
"This coral was naturally generated on the seafloor, and after being assessed, it has a lifespan of 100 years and has soaked in seawater for over 1,000 years. The shell has already presented with a natural '卍' pattern, absolutely a one-of-a-kind treasure."
He then instructed the protocol mistress to wipe off a section, allowing everyone to take a look.
Sure enough, the area revealed was about the size of a palm and presented an transparent golden-red color, with a subtle '卍' floral pattern, exquisite.
The venue was thoroughly electrified by this.
The price of coral in international markets is measured in grams, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000, and the lifespan of shells is only 20 to 100 years. However, this coral has grown for 100 years, making it extremely rare and absolutely a treasure among treasures.
It's even more difficult to find that it has been sleeping on the seafloor for a thousand years, with a golden-red transparent color and a natural floral pattern, which can be said to have an extremely good connotation - it's a top-grade treasure among treasures.
This coral's starting price is 9 million.
The crowd competes fiercely in bidding, and the price quickly rises to 12.2 million.
Many people know they won't get it and retreat, but there are those who recognize value and refuse to give up.
Just then, Master Upon stood up, loudly saying: "I'll bid 15.5 million!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around, cupped his hands to everyone, and smiled: "Friends, I came to this auction today specifically for this coral, so please give me a small favor - let me have it once, and later I'll send each of you a peace token as a heartfelt gift."
Most of the guests in attendance are old friends who know Master Upon's reputation and dare not offend him.
If they don't get it right, someone will just make a move to ruin your family's reputation.

"Saying that, he sent out a peace charm worth twenty thousand yuan, which was hardly white, so not many people were unhappy in their hearts, but they still chose to put up with it.
Bao FuGui's face remained expressionless, but his heart was indeed troubled.
Originally, the auction was supposed to be about who can pay the highest price, but Dashi ruined the rules.
If he really bought it for one million five hundred thousand yuan, I wouldn't mind losing some money myself, but my reputation would suffer greatly after that. JrNovels.com
