Zhu Bowei looked meaningfully at the Han Dynasty Bronze Mirror displayed on the big screen. Before the auction, he had studied this mirror. Its preservation wasn't great, especially the black material on its back. The auction's experts had checked it and said that the mirror, during casting, had been contaminated with some casting residue, which had turned black and hard over time. In theory, it could be removed, but there was concern that it might damage the mirror.
The owner of the mirror was a small business owner who, due to recent business difficulties, had decided to auction off his collectible. The item wasn't very valuable, hence the starting bid of one hundred thousand.
Therefore, when the Bronze Mirror was presented, Zhu Bowei didn't pay much attention, but now that Ye Fan was bidding, Zhu Bowei was pondering whether to suppress Ye Fan. Just as Zhu Bowei prepared to join the bidding and drive up the price, he heard Wang Qi's sarcastic remarks about Ye Fan.
