131: Dumbfounded Seven Kingdoms, why is no one bidding! ! !

As this news spread, it immediately garnered extremely high attention online, with everyone wanting to see how the Rabbit would respond to this cultural relic crisis.

The next afternoon.

The auction was about to begin, and the venue was already bustling with people, very lively.

Outside, many people had already gathered.

However, these people were not genuinely there to bid; many of them were just there to watch the show.

The venue for this auction was very large, capable of accommodating thousands of people, but only one or two hundred people actually had bidding seats.

But not all of these people were there to bid.

The rest were all there to watch the excitement.

It wasn't that only one or two hundred people wanted to bid; the Seven Nations Art Gallery had done extensive promotion for this auction, so there were certainly more people who wanted to bid.

But to bid, one also had to have the strength!

Therefore, there were not many bidding seats in the end.

Even so, these collectors were not there to be taken advantage of; everyone knew that this auction organized by the Seven Nations would be much more expensive than usual prices.

Items originally worth tens of thousands might rise to over a hundred thousand; in this case, if they weren't genuinely interested in the auctioned antiques, these collectors wouldn't make a move.

In the hotel.

Lin Mo and Team Leader Lu naturally received the news that the auction was about to begin.

So they arrived at the auction venue early.

Upon arriving, Lin Mo saw many Police Officers already maintaining order, and a long cordon had been set up outside the auction venue.

And outside the cordon.

In addition to some onlookers, there were also many internet media from all over the world, waiting to capture the first news from the scene.

Besides this.

When Lin Mo looked inside in the direction of the main entrance.

He found that there were also many news media inside; unlike outside, these were media that had obtained entry permits.

Their cameras all had tags clearly marked with BBC, ABC, CACA, etc., reporters from various national television stations.

This shows how high the attention for this auction was.

Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh, the Seven Nations Art Gallery really went all out for this auction.

Worldwide live broadcast was one thing.

They were also afraid that the influence wouldn't be big enough, so they invited so many media outlets.

“Lin Mo, we are at bidding seat number 6; this time, we are participating in this auction as Rabbit merchants.”

Team Leader Lu took out something similar to an invitation, looked at the serial number written on it, and said.

To prevent malicious bidding, only those in the bidding seats were qualified to make offers.

Moreover, the bidding seats were arranged by the Seven Nations Art Gallery.

People who could be in the bidding seats were either experienced collectors with very strong financial backgrounds, or entrepreneurs who had no shortage of money.

As for other seats, they could be understood as audience seats.

“Alright, let’s go in first.” Lin Mo nodded; he didn’t need to worry about these matters, as Team Leader Lu’s arrangements could basically resolve everything.

“Okay.” Team Leader Lu agreed and led the three of them inside.

Along the way, the few of them couldn't help but think of one thing: when bidding, if no one in the entire venue raised the price, what would be the Seven Nations' reaction?

Or, after the auction ended, when the Seven Nations thought they had already made a profit, and those defrauded small nations didn't receive their orders and came to Eagle Sauce for a refund, perhaps then they would remember that generous merchant who bid lavishly at the auction?!

The three women couldn't help but think to themselves.

But Lin Mo didn't have so many thoughts at this moment; currently, the start of the auction also meant that this trip had reached its final step.

As long as he secured all the auctioned antiques, he could go back!

As for fraud or exposure, Lin Mo never even considered them, because all his identities were fake!

Moreover, all the blame was directed at Eagle Sauce.

Anyway, Eagle Sauce was thick-skinned and should be able to handle it himself.

As the three of them thought this, they had already arrived at the auction venue; after reaching the third row, the three of them sat down.

Bidding seats were divided by area; for example, Lin Mo's area was number six, and this area alone had seven or eight seats.

In the middle of the area, there was a bidding number, with 06 written on it; when bidding, one only needed to raise this sign.

Lin Mo glanced at the time; there was still some time before the auction began, so he prepared to rest for a while, waiting for the auction to start.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

This auction, organized by the Seven Nations, also officially began at this moment.

And the live broadcast rooms related to the event also opened at the same time.

The moment the live broadcast rooms opened, a large number of viewers from all over the world poured in.

In just half a minute.

The online audience in the auction live broadcast room had already exceeded several million, and it was still continuously rising.

In just one minute, the online audience in the live broadcast room had already surpassed ten million; at this rate of growth, it wouldn't be long before the online viewership of this live broadcast reached hundreds of millions!

At the same time, after the viewers entered, the live broadcast room instantly became lively.

“Finally, it’s here! I wonder what kind of antique cultural relics will appear at this auction!”

“According to the Seven Nations Art Gallery, the antiques brought out for this auction are all from the Rabbit, and there are many good items worth collecting, so it’s likely the Rabbit will also come to bid!”

“It seems the Rabbit is going to bleed heavily this time; there are many powerful people among the bidders participating in this auction!”

“I heard there’s also price-gouging this time; for the Rabbit to bid for all the antiques, it’ll cost at least several hundred million!”

“Several hundred million? I feel that’s not enough at all!”

After the viewers entered, they also began to discuss.

For most viewers, they were there to watch the show, but they were also very clear about the purpose of the Seven Nations Art Gallery holding this auction, and they knew that if the Rabbit wanted to reclaim its items, it would certainly have to spend a significant amount.

Not to mention, there were many collectors who would bid at the scene!

After the live broadcast room opened.

The Seven Nations Art Gallery, responsible for this auction, also immediately ensured that the lines were fine, then directly issued the command: this auction officially begins!

At the same time.

A voice sounded from the venue.

“Welcome everyone to this auction. This auction will last for seven days, with different antique cultural relics appearing each day. The highest bidder wins, and if an antique is not sold, it will be destroyed!”

At the scene, a host said to the audience.

After he finished speaking.

Many bidders at the scene also became interested. One must know that these antiques put up for auction were all from the Rabbit!

Among the Rabbit cultural relics exhibited in the British Museum, there was a sentence written.

The Rabbit created the greatest civilization in human history!

This also indirectly indicated that the Rabbit's cultural relics had very high bidding value!

Everyone's gaze was directed forward.

And the staff at the scene did not delay, pushing a box covered by a glass case onto the stage.

“This is a porcelain piece with over two thousand years of history. The starting bid is fifty thousand! The minimum increment is ten thousand!” The auctioneer said to everyone.

And after he finished speaking, on the large screen behind him, an introduction to this porcelain piece also appeared.

Upon seeing the introduction of this porcelain piece.

Many collectors couldn't help but frown, because as people who dealt with antiques year-round, upon seeing this introduction to the antique, they immediately knew that this antique, in normal circumstances, would be worth at most twenty to thirty thousand, but now it had directly increased by about twenty thousand.

Whoever bids on this would be a fool!

At this moment, many people in the bidding seats couldn't help but shake their heads.

They had just acquired this auctioned antique a few days ago!

It cost them just over twenty thousand us dollars.

However, at the auction, the starting bid was fifty thousand us dollars, and each increment could not be less than ten thousand.

This was clearly treating them as fools.

Therefore, upon seeing this antique appear, many collectors in the bidding seats chose to watch quietly, none of them making a bid.

And this silent scene.

Also made the audience who came to watch this auction curious.

“It increased so much?! The last time I saw a similar antique, the transaction price was only a little over twenty thousand, right?”

“This auction is too ruthless. For a third-grade cultural relic, unless it's someone who falls in love at first sight and really wants it, probably no one would be willing to pay this price!”

“Not necessarily, if someone really fancies this antique, they might bid, but the Rabbit will have to bid with tears this time.”

“I have to say, the Seven Nations Art Gallery is treating everyone as fools, planning to harvest a wave of leeks at the auction??”

Since they were viewers following the auction.

They naturally had some understanding of cultural relics, and upon seeing the introduction of this antique, they immediately knew it was a third-grade cultural relic.

But at this price, probably no one would bid.

Because its inherent collection value wasn't that high, unless it was truly a collector who fell in love at first sight and desperately wanted it.

As for the auctioneer.

At this moment, he also couldn't help but feel a little confused, why had no one bid yet?

Could it be that the price was too expensive?

But that shouldn't be the case; although the price was a bit high, for collectors, it was absolutely impossible for there to be no one bidding.

According to the usual auction process, even if the price was higher, someone would try to bid.

Even if it was the worst-case scenario, the Rabbit should bid.

One must know that if the antique was not sold, it would be directly destroyed!

Just as everyone was puzzled.

A voice rang out from the bidding seats, Lin Mo said calmly: “Sixty thousand!”

At this moment, Lin Mo was already clear-headed.

Upon seeing the first auctioned antique, he immediately knew the value of this antique.

The starting bid of fifty thousand was indeed a bit expensive.

But Lin Mo didn't care, after all, the money used for bidding wasn't his, so he directly quoted a price.

As soon as the voice came out.

It attracted the attention of everyone in the venue. When they saw Lin Mo, everyone knew.

Indeed, the Rabbit made a move!

In the live broadcast room, the audience couldn't help but exclaim.

“I told you, the Rabbit will definitely bid, after all, these things belong to them!”

“Sixty thousand us dollars, this auction, if they really want to take everything, how much will it cost?!”

“I can only say don't rush, this is just the beginning!”

“Looking forward to it!”

Back to the scene.

After Lin Mo's bid came out, the auctioneer's face immediately lit up with a smile, and then he immediately shouted: “Sixty thousand once!”

“Sixty thousand twice!”

“Is there anyone offering a higher price?”

The auctioneer originally thought that after the first person bid, more people would follow suit.

But when he repeated it for the second time, the entire venue remained silent, as if no one was preparing to bid!

The auctioneer was a bit troubled at this moment.

Because, according to the director of the Seven Nations Art Gallery, for the Rabbit to win this first antique, it would cost at least over one hundred thousand!

But unexpectedly, it had already peaked at sixty thousand?

“Sixty thousand twice, is there anyone offering a higher price?” The auctioneer continued to ask.

But the result was still no one bidding.

Therefore, the auctioneer could only say: “Sixty thousand three times, sold.”

The auctioneer brought down the hammer, then gave Lin Mo a professional smile and said: “Congratulations to this gentleman, for successfully bidding on our first item at a price of sixty thousand!”

Lin Mo merely nodded upon seeing this, not showing too much emotion.

After the first successful bid.

Although the lack of competition was surprising to many, no one had noticed it yet.

After all, this was only the first antique.

There were still many valuable antiques to come.

After the auction, this antique was pushed off the stage by the staff and sent to the warehouse of bidding seat 06; after the bidding ended and the transaction was completed, it could be taken away directly.

“Next, is the second antique to be auctioned!”

“Starting price, one hundred thousand, each increment must not be less than ten thousand!”

After the staff pushed up the second antique, the auctioneer also quickly announced.

After he finished speaking, the large screen behind him also displayed an introduction to this antique.

Undoubtedly, the price of this antique was also significantly higher.

In the bidding seats.

Some collectors, upon seeing this antique, remained indifferent.

Besides that, they were also a bit confused.

How could it be that after all the hype from the Seven Nations Art Gallery about this auction, some of the antiques they brought up were ones they already possessed?

Since they already had them, why would they bid?

One must know that the antiques appearing at this auction were already significantly more expensive.

Under such circumstances, they naturally would not make an offer.

Upon seeing the second antique appear, Lin Mo also knew that the price was very high, but he still bid: “One hundred and ten thousand!”

With the appearance of this price.

It once again drew everyone's gaze to Lin Mo, and the auctioneer also immediately said: “One hundred and ten thousand, this gentleman has offered one hundred and ten thousand, is there any higher price?”

Clearly, the scene was identical to the previous one.

But it was precisely because of this that the auctioneer and the directors of the Seven Nations Art Gallery felt something unusual.

Something’s not right!

Absolutely not right!

How come so many bidders came, and not a single one of them is bidding??
