Female Novel
Chapter 601 Unbelievable
Maximilian couldn’t believe in his eyes when seeing the horse on the enlarging screen.
It was exactly the same as the one sold in Rare Treasure Pavilion a few days ago. He had been
watching on the news in the antique industry these days because he wanted to invest some of his
money in treasure evaluation industry.
It would enrich his enterprise and personal ability. He became more firmed when thinking of what
happened to Boss Cassius.
The second round of bid began when the bronze horse was displayed in front of everyone.
Maximilian knew it was a counterfeit made by Ewan, the same with the horse from the Warring States
Period sold by Rare Treasure Pavilion.
Ewan was a master in counterfeiting in the antique industry. However, it turned out there was a bronze
horse in the auction. Was this the one Ewan sold out? Or was this a genuine bronze horse? Maybe
both of them were faked.
Maximilian couldn’t make a final decision even though he had thought about all the possibilities in his
mind.
No matter what the consequence was, they must follow the natural law that it was impossible to have
two exactly same items in the world. There must be some connections between them.
At the same time, the staff began to display the magnified images of the bronze horse.
Maximilian could see every detail of it from the large screen on the auction stage. He tried to observe it
thoroughly.
After examination, he found the sculptor used less effort when carving this bronze horse, making it a
little different from the other one in terms of texture.
After that, the screen showed the bronze horse in different angles. It kept turning slowly from the
screen, as if someone was checking it and holding it in hand.
From this round of observation, Maximilian found it just fine in terms of overall shape. If compared with
the one sold in Rare Treasure Pavilion, this one was much better due to its angle of elevation.
However, people would prefer the former when looking at it.
Therefore, Maximilian couldn’t tell which one was better.
Maximilian was sure that this was not the same one sold in Rare Treasure Pavilion, but he was not
sure which one was real.
The most exciting part began when the display was over. The screen showed the reserve price of the
bronze horse, 200,000 dollars.
What? Only 200,000 dollars? Even a counterfeit was sold in Rare Treasure Pavilion at the price of
250,000 dollars.
Maximilian thought the situation was different, because this was an auction, and the final price was not
decided yet.
When Maximilian was wondering, someone began to add the price to 250,000 dollars at the first time,
and it continued to increase. Finally, the figure shown on the screen stopped at 380,000 dollars.
Maximilian thought it was a fair deal and the final price was around his estimated price. However, when
he thought this was the final price, a beep sound suddenly came beside him, and the screen showed a
figure: 500,000 dollars.
The crowd burst out a round of exclamation, while Maximilian looked toward the direction where the
sound came from, and saw Euan’s face with triumph. Finally, he got the bronze horse at 500,000novelbin
dollars, because no one bid a higher price.
Maximilian leaned on the chair and watched his arrogant expression. He was wondering whether Euan
was here to buy antiques or to promote for his company.
Noticing Maximilian’s gaze, Euan raised his left hand with the box contained with bronze horse,
thumbed up with his right hand, and opened his eyes and mouth widely to show an exaggerated smile.
Euan’s behaviour really surprised Maximilian. He had never expected the young master of the Holms
family would act like this.
The second item was a hand-made mechanic pocket watch from Switzerland, the kingdom of watches.
It was said that this watch was made by the oldest manufacturer in Switzerland for a prince in a royal
family. The watch’s solid gold case as well as chain made it looked extravagant at the first sight.
Besides, its dial was decorated with twelve diamonds, representing different hours. All these details
showed that the watch was of a high value. Finally, this watch with a reserve price of four million dollars
was sold with the final price of five million and six hundred thousand dollars by an international buyer.
After the deal was confirmed, everyone present applauded.
When seeing Euan remained quietly in this round, Maximilian teased him and said, “Well, are you
unsatisfied with this item? Why are you so quiet?”
Euan showed an unbelievable expression upon hearing this, “What do you think? We are living in a
modern society. It’s ridiculous to buy a pocket watch. Well, we can’t splurge even though we are rich.”
After saying this, Euan raised up his hand to show his limited edition Swiss watch, which would cost
millions of dollars.
Maximilian didn’t say anything when seeing this.
Finally, someone could compete with him.
The third item was an aloes bracelet. Aloes was really something good. When this item was presented,
all the bidders began to discuss about it.
However, when the bracelet was displayed in front of Maximilian, he suddenly found there was
something wrong.
Maximilian whispered beside Amira’s ear, “This bracelet was half fake and half genuine. I believe no
many people here could distinguish it. I think the reserve price is low, but people will offer higher
price!”
