Chapter 500: Chicken Head of the Twelve Beast Heads

More than 100 years ago, the kingdoms of Yingsa and France broke through the capital of Huaguo and looted the heads of twelve beasts.

This is a painful history, which is branded in the hearts of every Chinese like a scar.

So far, seven animal heads, including the cow head, monkey head, tiger head, pig head, mouse head, rabbit head, and horse head, have returned to the motherland one after another.

The dragon head is believed to have been treasured by Yizhou collectors in the country and is not considered lost, but the whereabouts of the snake, sheep, dog and chicken heads are unknown.

For many years, the descendants of these Western robbers have taken advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm of the people of Dahua to drive up the price of the twelve beast heads even more.

The auction price of the twelve beast heads has soared from tens of thousands of yuan at the beginning to over [-] million yuan today. The shamelessness and greed of these robbers is simply outrageous.

"call……"

After flipping through the animal head information organized by Winnie on the mobile phone, Xiao Feng threw away the mobile phone and let out a long breath.

Ma De, it's so annoying, he must go to this auction, and he is bound to get the chicken head!

……

10:30 am the next day, auction hall.

The auction has been going on for more than an hour, and many lots have been sold, but many seats are still vacant.

Moreover, these vacant seats are all in the front positions, which shows that the status of the bidders is not low.

There is no other reason, these bigwigs usually come for rare auctions, and these auctions are usually arranged for later auctions, or even the finale.

At this moment, a group of three Chinese-faced men came to seat No. 8 and sat down.

These three people are no longer young, besides the two middle-aged people, there is actually an old man with gray beard and hair.

And this old man began to close his eyes and rest his mind after sitting down, and he didn't care about the hustle and bustle around him.

"Don't worry, Director Huo, our Baoli Group has prepared a total of 2 million yuan for the auction of the chicken head, which is more than double the auction price!"

One of them, a slightly fat middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, said to another man with a tough expression.

"Mr. Lu, even so, we must not be careless!"

The man named Director Huo said in a low voice: "According to the information we have obtained, the royal family of Insa is bound to win the chicken head. It is said that Princess Margaret of Insa Rose will be sent to sit in person..."

"Hush, here we come..." Mr. Lu interrupted Director Huo, and the two turned their eyes to the door.

A slender and tall Caucasian girl, accompanied by a tall blond man, gracefully stepped into the auction hall and sat in seat No. 1.

"Insa Rose really lives up to her reputation, that man is..."

Mr. Lu looked at Director Huo and asked.

"Celso de Fenes, a descendant of the French nobles and an upstart in the international financial industry, is said to be passionately pursuing Princess Margaret." Director Huo replied in a low voice.

Meanwhile, seat No. 1.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you, since your royal family is very interested in animal heads, may I ask how much money you have prepared for this auction?" the blond young man Fenes asked with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Fenais, my grandfather prepared [-] million yuan for the auction of the animal head. I think there should be no problem with this price." Princess Margaret said in a gentle manner.

"Hehe! That's not necessarily true, my dear princess..."

Fenesse shook his head slightly, and continued: "You must know that the Huaguo have been rich and powerful in recent years. Now they are becoming more and more powerful, and they vowed to regain the lost national treasure. I think there will be an auction battle today."

"Really? Mr. Fenes, with you sitting next to me, those Chinese people will surely not succeed..." Princess Margaret smiled.

"Of course, it is my honor to be able to serve Her Highness the Princess, hahaha..." Fenesse was overjoyed when he heard the princess's compliment, and laughed.

"Oh!"

At this moment, a hammer sound was suddenly heard on the auction stage.

"ladies and gentlemen!"

After seeing the sound of the hammer attracting everyone's attention, the auctioneer shouted loudly: "Next, please allow me to introduce you grandly, the grand finale of today's auction..."

"A royal rare antique from ancient China - the chicken head, one of the twelve animal heads!"

As soon as the words fell, four security personnel in black suits slowly walked up to the main stage, carrying a heavy safe.

After the safe was opened, the national treasure of the chicken head, which had been robbed by robbers for more than 100 years, finally reappeared.

Everyone looked up and saw that the whole body of the chicken head was made of red copper, with a deep color on the outside and a smooth inside.

The summer sun shines in through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows and shines on this chicken head, shining a simple and elegant color.

The chicken head is silent, but its existence and appearance itself proves to the world how brilliant and great the former glory of that ancient empire was.

"The starting price is 1 million yuan, and the minimum increase in a single bid is 1000 million yuan. The auction starts now!" The auctioneer shouted.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present couldn't help but be amazed.

The starting price of 1 million yuan is shocking enough, I didn't expect the minimum price increase to be so high!

The auction price of the twelve beast heads was really heated up.

"Master Gu, are you sure this is genuine?"

Mr. Lu, who was sitting in seat No. 8, asked in a low voice to the old man beside him who still hadn't opened his eyes.

"Can't be wrong..."

The old man still didn't open his eyes, but just spit out three words lightly.

Mr. Lu seemed to be very convinced of the old man, and he didn't show any doubts, but raised the token in his hand very decisively.

"1 million!"

Seeing someone raising a placard immediately, the auctioneer shouted excitedly: "The guest from table 8!"

Next, people raised their cards one after another, and the price soared all the way, but table 1 did not raise their cards for a long time.

Until after several rounds of bidding, the price reached 2 million yuan.

"Mr. Fernes?"

Seeing that the price had risen to the upper limit of her funds, Princess Margaret glanced at the suitor beside her and asked in a low voice.

"Hehe, Your Royal Highness, I'm here, please rest assured!"

Fenesse smiled slightly, with a confident look, as if he had foreseen all this long ago, and slowly raised the sign in his hand.

Seeing the placard in Feinas' hand, the auctioneer shouted loudly again: "Two hundred and ten million—the guest from table 1!"

"Wow!……"

Hearing the price, everyone exclaimed in unison.

This upstart on Wall Street is really rich and powerful, if he doesn't make a move, he will surprise everyone with his skills, he is really arrogant!
"It's a money grab!"

Mr. Lu frowned, and said through gritted teeth: "The descendants of this gang of robbers are really not good birds. He knows our strong desire to return the national treasure, so he deliberately raised the price desperately!"

Director Huo patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, and at the same time whispered: "It's useless to complain now, let's quickly ask for instructions to use emergency funds!"
