The blue and white porcelain might be very valuable, but Qin Fang isn't too concerned about it. Mainly because he doesn't have much interest in collecting…
But if the agency box still has two layers that haven't been opened, then the items inside must be even more precious, which makes Qin Fang unable to resist feeling intrigued.
This agency box is made of nanmu wood. Although it's not the extremely valuable golden silk nanmu, it has been passed down for hundreds of years. Apart from some marks of age, the box shows no damage or signs of decay…
This is one of the properties of nanmu wood, I suppose.
So the items inside the agency box could very likely not have decayed either. If the box hasn't been opened, perhaps the items are still inside.
"More valuable than the blue and white porcelain…"
Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter to himself, and his gaze towards the box changed slightly.
"One billion!"
While Qin Fang was musing over the agency box, the auction for the blue and white porcelain had already started, and the price was skyrocketing.
Qu Yuancheng's furious roar had pushed the price to one billion Hong Kong dollars…
This price almost rivals the Guiguzi Descends the Mountain painting back in the day, but the size difference between the two pieces of blue and white porcelain is quite evident.
Although the price of porcelain isn't judged by size, under the same quality, bigger jars are harder to preserve, thus making their existence rarer and naturally more valuable.
The blue and white porcelain here was stored in such a brocade box, simply sealing the box could prevent any damage even if buried underground.
So when the auction price for this blue and white porcelain rose to one billion, even Qin Fang was a bit stunned, not expecting Qu Yuancheng to be so aggressive.
"One billion and fifty million…"
But even at this price, Qu Yuancheng still couldn't secure it, as others were competing with him…
Who could it be?
Qin Fang's old antagonist! Yamamoto, who had been thwarted twice by Qin Fang!
"This guy just won't go away…"
Seeing Yamamoto's annoying demeanor, Qin Fang couldn't help but curl his lips, verbally despising him a bit.
Previously, when Yamamoto caused trouble for Qin Fang, he ended up wasting a lot of money because of Qin Fang's schemes, and then Qin Fang fooled him once more.
Unexpectedly, the guy hasn't stopped, and this time went even further, spending over a billion without letting go.
"Does he really have that much money?"
Qin Fang couldn't help but wonder, since it seems impossible for someone in charge of a Yamaguchi Group division to have this level of disposable funds.
So Qin Fang was somewhat surprised!
"Huh…"
But upon closer examination, Qin Fang noticed Yamamoto's mood was off. Specifically, when he was speaking to one of his subordinates, there was something peculiar about his tone.
"Agency box…"
Qin Fang understood Japanese and could speak it fluently, though he rarely used it.
But now it came in handy, as he observed Yamamoto's lip movements and noticed him mentioning this term while speaking.
"Could he be here for the agency box?"
The reason Qin Fang supported Qu Yuancheng in bidding for the blue and white porcelain was none other than for the agency box. But now, with Yamamoto inadvertently mentioning this keyword, how could Qin Fang not be anxious?
Agency boxes are rare, many treasure appraisers might not recognize them, let alone ordinary people… So Qin Fang speculated that the number of people at the scene who truly knew about the agency box didn't exceed three.
Unexpectedly, aside from Qin Fang himself, one of these three people turned out to be Yamamoto, further raising Qin Fang's concerns.
The Thousand Gate is vast and highly secretive, with a mysterious heritage. Nowadays, Thousand Gate's people aren't limited to living within Dragon Country, but can be found worldwide.
For example, the Thousand Gate Chess Elder spends most of his time on Hong Kong Island…
And many old masters might reside in Singapore, Europe, or the United States… Of course, some might be living in Japan.
These are uncertain matters, hence the inheritors of the Thousand Gate may not be few in number.
The Yamaguchi Group is Japan's largest syndicate and the largest in Asia, with tens of thousands of members, making it an exceedingly large organization.
With such numbers and formidable strength, it naturally gathers intelligence far better than typical societies, leading Qin Fang to ponder that the agency box matter might have come to Yamaguchi Group's attention.
Perhaps there are Thousand Gates Acolytes within the Yamaguchi Group, or they obtained the information from Thousand Gates Acolytes… In any case, it's because of the knowledge about the agency box that the Yamaguchi Group wants to acquire it.
But whatever the case may be, these things are disadvantageous to Qin Fang.
Because of Yamamoto's presence, Qu Yuancheng's bidding became increasingly challenging, and Qin Fang's chances of acquiring the agency box dwindled further.
