The ace all-rounder is on fire

Chapter 216 Fighting for Inheritance

An ivory mat with a length of 2 meters and a width of 1.25 meters needs to kill dozens or even hundreds of elephants, and it takes two years for skilled craftsmen to weave an ivory mat.

Apart from showing royal luxury and nobility, ivory mats are meaningless and have no effect on prolonging life.

After realizing that the cost of making ivory mats was so costly and costly to the people and money, in 1728, Emperor Yongzheng issued a decree that no more ivory mats should be made.

Since then, the production method of ivory mats has gradually been lost, and now only five court ivory mats of the Qing Dynasty remain in the world, so they are very precious.

The ivory mat that was auctioned today has slight damage, but even so, the starting price still reached an astonishing 8700 million.

The executive announced that the bidding began, with each price increase starting at 100 million.

Selena whispered to Lin Shen that this ivory mat was collected by Kane's grandfather.

Kane's grandfather collected many precious antiques from all over the world, which can fill the family's old castle.

But Kane didn't like these things. After he inherited the family business, he auctioned these things one after another, and the money he earned was used for business investment.

After hearing this, Lin Shen stuck out his tongue, expressing surprise.This is really rich!
The bidding started, and the first person to raise the placard was Mei Daiko Takato——8800 million

Soon, someone followed with a price increase of 8900 million...

9000……

Prices are going up all the way.

Gao Teng kept raising the placard, it seems that this woman has a lot of money and is determined to get this collection.

From the moment Gao Teng raised the sign, Selena's mouth was pursed, and disgust flowed in her eyes.

She quietly told Lin Shen that Gao Teng, a flirtatious woman, had been pestering Kane all the time. She had met this woman to seduce her boyfriend, but Kane was very forceful and decisively rejected her.

Afterwards, Kane told Selena that Gao Teng entangled him in order to obtain a national treasure [Porcelain Mother Vase] collected by his grandfather during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Hearing the words "Porcelain Mother Vase", Lin Shen's heart moved. The Porcelain Mother Vase is a national treasure royal imperial porcelain ordered by Emperor Qianlong. There are only two pieces in the world. One is collected by Yanjing Palace Museum, which can be called the treasure of the town. .

The other one was lost overseas.

Lin Shen's family has a fake porcelain mother vase that she and her grandfather jointly imitated. This time when she returned to Yundu from Yanjing, Lin Shen also brought this porcelain mother vase to Yundu.

"Why does Gao Teng want to get the mother porcelain vase?" Lin Shen asked.

"Because this woman wants to inherit his grandfather's inheritance!" Selena told Lin Shen seriously.

"Inherit his grandfather's inheritance?" Lin Shen was puzzled.

"Takato Midaiko's grandfather is Takato Yunao, who was the most famous porcelain master in Dongying during his lifetime, and also the dean of Nara Todaiji Shoso-in. After resigning, he founded a private collection [Takakura-in], Kai En told me that he once visited Takakura-in, which is a treasure trove of cultural relics. Unfortunately, Kane has no interest in these.”

"Gao Teng Yuzhi loved to study porcelain all his life. When he was dying, he always had a wish unfulfilled, that is to bring the porcelain mother vase from the Qianlong period into his Gaocangyuan. For this reason, he approached Kane's grandfather and father when he was alive. Unfortunately, he failed to achieve his wish. Later, he found Kane, but Kane's father told Kane before his death that the old man from Dongying was very cunning and could not sell him the porcelain mother vase. Kane remembers father's words."

"In this way, Takato Yu didn't fulfill his wish until he died. Later, he made a will. Whoever can bring back the porcelain mother vase will inherit Takakura. The museum has an antique collection worth tens of billions of dollars."

"So Mei Daiko Takato is pestering your boyfriend?" Lin Shen asked.

"Yes. This woman has tried many ways, and even tried to marry Kane, but Kane's daughter, Gillian, doesn't like her, saying that she has a villain on her back, and Gillian feels that every time she sees her scared."

"Carrying a villain? Are you talking about tattoos?" Lin Shen frowned.

Selena looked around mysteriously, "Honey, don't tell others, Selena can see things that normal people can't see, so she is very, very timid."

Lin Shen nodded in understanding.

"Gao Teng hates it very much. Her brother Takato Toshiyoshi, who is fighting for property with her, has been guarding England, waiting for Kane to return home. But they don't know that Kane doesn't want to go back to guard that cold and gloomy castle now. He wants to be here Enjoy good food and a more meaningful life."

"It seems that the brother-sister relationship between Takato Midaiko and Takato Toshiyoshi is not very good."

"That's because Takato Yuu married two wives directly. Takato Midaiko's grandma is from your country, and Takato Toshiyoshi's grandma is from Dongying. Their siblings have different bloodlines."

Selena hated this Japanese woman who seduced her boyfriend, and told Lin Shen everything she knew.

"Oh..." Lin Shen nodded repeatedly.

Selena's words stirred up a storm in Lin Shen's heart.

The last time I went back to Yanjing, Dai Hongqiao, director of the Palace Museum, once mentioned Takato Yunao to her...

Lin Shen has a feeling somewhere...

On stage, the executive has made the last three bids and the hammer falls.

In the end, Midaiko Takato won the ivory mat at a sky-high price of ¥1 million.

Auction items came on stage one after another, and the transaction prices ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions, until the executive announced the following collection, which was brought by the Shengci Fenghua belt, "Qing Qianlong 25 years, the imperial court made blessing money "Twelve pieces.

The mobile booth was pushed onto the auction stage, and the details of the twelve pure gold ancient coins were displayed on the screen one by one.

This set of royal money has a lot of background. In the 25th year of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong prayed to God and ordered Zhili Xuanfu Money Bureau to mint twelve pieces of money.

Qian Wen selects the words of prayer related to the country and the country.Named in alphabetical order:

Peace in the world, long-term security and long-term governance, harmonious government and people, peaceful wind and sweet rain, peaceful country and people, upright and upright, blessed by heaven, long-lasting blessings, longevity and prosperity, auspicious well-being, purple air coming from the east, and longevity without boundaries.

There are exquisite auspicious patterns on the back of the money, and the words of Qianlong's 25th year imperial system are chiseled on the edge.

This is the only set in the world. At the Nanyang auction seven years ago, the transaction price of this set of Qianlong imperial coins was 800 million US dollars, equivalent to about 6000 million yuan at the exchange rate at that time. It was collected by a famous British antique. Purchased by Jennifer Ni.

Five years ago, Lin Shen went to sea with his grandfather.The ship encountered a storm at sea, and the crew on board escaped death. Lin Shen and his grandfather saved the life of an old lady by chance.

That old lady is the famous antique collector Jenny.

Two years later, Lin Shen and his grandfather received a letter from overseas, saying that the old man Jennifer Ni, who was rescued by the grandfather and grandson, passed away.

Jennifer was lonely all her life and had no heirs around her. Before she died, she made a will and donated her lifelong collection of antiques to Academician Lin and Shen Lin.

These precious collections include this set of blessing coins made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

When Academician Lin was alive, he divided up the antiques and told Lin Shen that some of these antiques can be sold when the market is good, and only continuous trading will increase the value of the collection.

At the Longlide Autumn Auction this time, the starting price of the Qianlong Imperial Blessing Money was 1 million.

This set of ancient money coins attracted the attention of many collectors at home and abroad during the pre-conference exhibition. The executive officer just announced the opening of the auction, and there were quotations within a second.

"1 million!"

"1 million!"

"..."

After several rounds of bidding, the price jumped wildly, and finally it was acquired by an overseas Chinese collector at 1 million yuan, and the audience burst into warm applause.

The transaction price was slightly higher than Lin Shen's expectation, which was basically satisfactory.

The following autumn auction can be said to be a special event for Shengci.

Twelve pieces of exquisite porcelain spanning the three historical dynasties of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties appeared one after another.
