"Let's not talk about it for now. The auction is starting …"
Just as Qin Fang and Tang Feifei were whispering, the auction of this ancient stone slab relief began directly.
"The starting price is one million, and each bid must not be less than 100,000 … Dong!!"
With the hammer of the auctioneer, the auction of this stone slab relief began immediately.
"1.1 million!"
Almost immediately, someone called out a bid, although it was only 100,000 Hong Kong dollars on the basis of the starting price.
But as soon as this person bid, Qin Fang's face changed slightly.
Not for anything else, just because the person who bid was Yamamoto of the Yamamoto Group who had caused trouble with him before.
"Why is he interested in this?"
Qin Fang was not in a hurry to bid, but he was thinking about the reason why Yamamoto was suddenly interested in this stone slab.
"Could it be that he also saw the real secret of this stone slab?"
Qin Fang couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart. He also looked at Yamamoto and noticed that when he bid, he was talking to an old man in his fifties next to him.
Qin Fang didn't pay much attention to who was around Yamamoto before. Now it seemed that this old man should be invited by Yamamoto to be an appraiser.
"Could it be that this appraiser saw something?"
After confirming this, the knot in Qin Fang's heart was still not completely relieved. He had to think about all kinds of possibilities …
"Qin Fang, do you want it or not?
Do you want me to help? "
Seeing Qin Fang frowning and hesitating, Kong Er couldn't sit still. Qin Fang had already said in advance that he must get it, but now he stopped. It seemed that even his attention was not very focused. Kong Er also asked a little worriedly.
For Kong Er who just spent 120 million to buy a string of Aquamarine Heart as a gift, a few million was really nothing.
"I definitely want it. There's no rush!"
On the other hand, Qin Fang seemed to be very calm. He was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he quietly waited to watch the battles of the other bidders.
"1.2 million!"
Sure enough, almost as soon as Qin Fang said this, someone immediately made a bid.
"One million three hundred thousand …"
It wasn't just one person bidding. Soon, a third person joined in. The increment wasn't very big, but the three people seemed to be in a deadlock. It was hard to say what the final auction price would be.
"One million five hundred thousand!"
Yamamoto's expression suddenly changed when he saw that someone was competing with him. He glanced at the two rich people who were raising the stakes. He didn't have a deep impression of them. It seemed that they didn't have much status in Hong Kong.
"1.6 million …"
Yamamoto's price didn't seem to scare anyone. Immediately, someone followed suit and raised the price. It wasn't more or less, just 100,000 more than Yamamoto.
"Baka … a bunch of bastards!"
Seeing that someone was competing with him when he bid, Yamamoto, who had good self-restraint, immediately roared in anger. His face was also a little arrogant, overbearing, and willful.
"One million eight hundred thousand …"
Although he was depressed and scolded, the auction still had to continue. He immediately raised the price.
"One million nine hundred thousand!"
"Two million!"
What made Yamamoto even more depressed was that it seemed that his arrogant words just now suddenly made some people unhappy. The way they looked at Yamamoto was not right.
The two buyers who bid immediately increased the price one after another. They stared at Yamamoto. They didn't want to give him a chance to win. They wanted him to pay a little price for what he said just now!
Yamamoto was really depressed. Although he didn't care too much about this amount of money, he had already been a sucker for a while. If someone raised the price again, he was very likely to be a sucker again. Then, his nickname of "Two Hundred and Fifty" would probably be gone for the rest of his life.
Those rich people were sitting there watching the show, but no one was willing to join in. The two rich people who were competing with Qin Fang were local rich people in Hong Kong.
It was no wonder.
These rich people had limited net worth. Usually, they would ask for a few million. Although it would not hurt them, it was still very painful.
Therefore, they didn't need to participate in those very expensive auction items because they knew that they would definitely not be able to compete with those rich people. Naturally, they were too lazy to send themselves up as cannon fodder.
The expensive auction items couldn't be moved or snatched, but it didn't mean that this kind of small thing couldn't be auctioned. For example, although the starting price of this stone slab relief was not low, reaching one million Hong Kong dollars, there were very few people who wanted it. The final auction price was expected to be three or four million.
They could still afford such a price if they gritted their teeth, so they decided to participate in the competition.
They didn't expect Yamamoto's family to suddenly jump out and compete with them. However, Yamamoto's mouth was too cheap. He almost offended people as soon as he opened his mouth. It was fine. These two rich people were pissed off, and they immediately met with the joint attack of these two …
Of course, the really rich people wouldn't care about such a small thing. In order to give Tang Feifei a meeting gift, Kong Er directly spent hundreds of millions, not to mention the rich people of the top ten wealthy families at the same level as him.
These people were extraordinarily calm, as if it had nothing to do with them. Although they seemed a little arrogant, it also reflected the great prestige of the top ten richest families in Hong Kong from another perspective.
The auction was still going on. Yamamoto and the two rich people were entangled. It seemed that no one was willing to give in to the other, and the scene suddenly became tense.
"Three million!"
But at this time, Qin Fang, who had been waiting and waiting, finally made his move …
And he directly raised the price to a high price as soon as he made his move. It seemed that he had the intention to sweep away his opponents. He directly increased the original price by one million.
"Hiss …"
The price of three million was not a lot, but it was also not a little, but the deterrent force was quite amazing. The main thing was that this was the first time Qin Fang raised the price, and some people couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
Basically, there was no guest present who did not know Kong Er's identity. Even Kong Er took out such a large sum of money to buy this Sea Blue Heart for Tang Feifei, and Tang Feifei was Qin Fang's female companion. The two of them had a very close relationship, so Qin Fang's identity was quite interesting.
No one doubted whether Qin Fang could afford this price. However, with Kong Er and Qu Yuancheng by his side, was there anything that Qin Fang could not afford?
It was one thing to be able to afford it. Some people were just afraid of Qin Fang's position and identity and didn't want to make enemies with him. Therefore, the two rich people who were tit-for-tat with Yamamoto almost immediately expressed their positions.
"Forget it, I give up …"
"I also give up …"
In this way, the original competition of three people became a competition of four people because of Qin Fang's participation, but now it became a competition of two people.
That was Qin Fang and Yamamoto …
This was almost equivalent to a replica of the previous Ru Kiln Brush Washer.
It was just that from Yamamoto causing trouble for Qin Fang, it became Qin Fang causing trouble for Yamamoto … At least in Yamamoto's view, Qin Fang was definitely intentional!
Therefore, his hatred for Qin Fang in his heart deepened a lot again. His eyes looking at Qin Fang also showed a burning fire. He wanted to eat Qin Fang to vent his hatred.
Qin Fang was very humble. He immediately clasped his fist to the two to show his gratitude. The two rich people also responded politely.
At least in this round, Qin Fang seemed to be more recognized by others. Yamamoto was too far behind. Who asked this kid to have the spirit of "I'm the best in the world" in front of everyone?
Of course, Qin Fang was too lazy to pay attention to Yamamoto's reaction. His real attention was still on the stone slab relief.
Although this stone slab had nothing to do with the Hanging Garden of Babylon, it did have a certain relationship with ancient Babylon.
It was just that this relationship was very obscure and hidden very deeply. Almost no one could crack the secret …
This was because rather than calling this relief sculpture a relief sculpture, it would be better to call it a kind of "martial arts secret manual".
Of course, this stone slab came from the Middle East's Mesopotamia. Although it was not inherited from ancient Babylon, it had a certain relationship with it because this relief contained a huge secret.
To be more precise, the engravings on the stone slab were more like words than an engraving …
This kind of text had almost completely disappeared. No one understood it at all. Even if those international language masters found it, it was useless.
The reason why Qin Fang could only write it was because of his master level detection skill.
It was also by relying on this skill that Qin Fang really understood the meaning of this stone slab relief lock. Especially the content recorded on it, Qin Fang was so surprised that he almost exclaimed.
"Alchemy!"
This was what really surprised and interested Qin Fang.
What was recorded on this stone slab was the mysterious art of alchemy.
In the ancient history of mankind, alchemy had always existed. Whether it was in the Long Province, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and other places, it existed. Many famous people and great people had learned and studied it.
It was just that it was called alchemy abroad. In the Long Province, it was mainly the alchemy of Taoists … Mixing lead and mercury, harmonizing internal alchemy, and so on. In short, it was to prolong life and even to seek immortality!
The emperors of ancient times all wanted to be immortal and rule the world forever. Therefore, they were especially fond of these alchemy Daoist priests.
Although the expectation of longevity through alchemy had long been proven to be very unscientific, it was not completely useless. It could be said that the development of human chemistry, or alchemy, had played a great role in it.
