In recent years, the price of Yuan Blue and White Porcelain has been steadily rising, with those bearing official seals priced in the millions and billions. This pair of Yuan Blue and White porcelain, which were part of the Princess's dowry, represent the best symbolism of the dragon and phoenix. They even have an emperor's handwritten inscriptions, and though the price of 1.1 billion US dollars is steep, they are definitely worth it.
As soon as the host shouted the bidding price, someone immediately raised a paddle, "I'll bid 1.2 billion US dollars, don't compete with me. I am determined to get this Dragon and Phoenix Blue and White Porcelain."
"Stop with the nonsense, I'll add five million," said another elderly man, raising his paddle.
"I'll add another two million..."
The price kept rising until it finally stopped at 1.8 billion US dollars.
