Chapter 453: The Auction Begins

The auction venue in the Lawless Lands is somewhat similar to the theater theater in China. It's all a high platform in front and a huge screen in the back. On the opposite side, there are about 600 seats in a circle.

The difference is that the screen is a high-definition electronic screen, and at the same time, there is a small podium in the middle of the high platform. In addition, the warm lighting also reflected the entire venue, leaving no shadows.

Walking on the thick red carpet, Su Zhe and the others found a relatively backward, not so conspicuous position to sit down, and then said to Liu Xinghan Chuanyin: "The highest cultivation in the hall is only in the middle stage of the Jiedan, no accident, it should be those rich businessmen who have invited them to protect their safety, so there is no need to pay too much attention." ”

Liu Xinghan nodded and replied in a deep voice: "The focus is on those guys hiding in the VIP room. There are more than twenty people at the peak of the Jie Dan alone, good guys, what the hell are they here for?"

As he spoke, he raised his elbow and touched Su Zhe, and then said, "I said, you ask." ”

Su Zhe pursed his lips and said lightly: "No, the answer will be clear in a while." ”

After a pause, he turned to Mihanna on the side and said, "Do you know what the numbers of those VIP rooms on the second floor correspond to?"

Mihanna was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know." From left to right, 1~12 in order. ”

"Oh!"

Su Zhe nodded, and then stopped talking. And listening to his question, Liu Xinghan probably guessed something, so he raised his wrist and looked at the time.

9:55 a.m. There are less than 5 minutes left before the auction starts. Then, I heard Su Zhe say to Cao Nuoyi on the side: "I'll ask you to raise the card later, you can do it, understand?"

Cao Nuoyi nodded vigorously and replied seriously, "Okay, Mr. Su." ”

As he spoke, people entered the venue one after another. By ten o'clock, Su Zhe had made a rough estimate, and there were already more than 400 people sitting in the ordinary venue in front of him. Of course, considering that many people are like themselves, accompanied by assistants or bodyguards, all in all, it is possible that there are more than 120 people in the world participating in today's auction.

At the same moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, smiling, strode from the side of the platform to stand in front of the podium, and said in a standard British accent: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Impossible Lands Auction House, I am the auctioneer of this auction, Dawn Snader. All right. I'm sure you don't like to listen to my nonsense, so now I declare that this auction has officially begun. ”

"Below, our first lot. ”

As soon as the words fell, two brightly dressed white women walked out carrying an oil painting. At the same time, the electronic screen behind Dawn also lit up.

"Van Gon, Sketch of Spring......"

Neither Su Zhe nor Cao Nuoyi could hear the latter words, because the scene had been completely filled with a huge uproar.

No one expected that at the beginning of this auction, a peerless treasure would appear.

Van Gang, the world's most famous impressionist painter and one of the most outstanding artists of mankind, none of his paintings are less than 10,000 meters of knife. What's even more exaggerated is that as early as 90 years, one of his works was auctioned for a staggering 80 million.

You know, that's 90 years. Equivalent to Huaxia currency, that is nearly 600 million. In the same year, the house price in Beijing was 1,200 yuan per square meter. In other words, that oil painting is enough to buy 480,000 square meters in Shangjing......

Hmm? wait. That said, the purchaser was a fool. Because buying antiques, in addition to pretending to be forced, the biggest role is actually investment. At that time, he did not choose to buy the oil painting, but bought 480,000 square meters of land in Shangjing...... So now it's at least 40 billion in value, right?

Others are lamented by the greatness of the ambition of the auction house in the land of lawlessness, first

The lot took out the oil painting of the master of the Vatican, and they were not afraid to drive high and go low, but what Su Zhe was thinking about was this ......?

While he was thinking about it, Li En on the stage had already continued: "This Sketch of Spring, created in 1886, is considered an early work of the Vatican master, and it is also his finalized work. It has a very special and extraordinary significance, and its collection value is so high that I believe I don't need to say more, and you should all know it. Its starting price is 10 million, and each increase is not less than 100,000, and now, the auction begins!"

10 million is one of the lowest prices for Vatican works. Is this because it's only worth that price? Of course not, on the contrary, as Mihanna said before, some estimates estimate that it is worth at least 150 million meters. So why is the starting price so low?

This has to mention the cat in the auction.

First of all, the starting price is high, and it is easy to get the expected price without the auction. Secondly, history has proved countless times that a low starting price is easy to create a sky-high price.

The most typical example is that in 2010, at an auction in a small town in the Sun Never Setting Empire, a Qianlong royal auspicious and more than 800,000 yuan turned the heart bottle, and finally dropped 51 million yuan.

The premium is more than sixty times!

And this time, the price is also overflowing like crazy. In less than ten minutes, its starting price soared to more than 30 million, and it still has no intention of being weak.

Seeing this, Su Zhe really couldn't hold back, and muttered softly: "I suddenly remembered a movie. ”

"Huh?" Cao Nuoyi and the others turned their heads blankly, really incomprehensible, how could he suddenly think of a movie at this time?

"Well, there's also an oil painting in that movie, like it's called Free From 1946. ”

Cao Noi nodded and said, "The abstraction of the United States has been transformed into the work of the pioneer Mr. Jackson Pollock. In 06, 140 million meters of knives were auctioned. ”

"Uh-huh. Su Zhe hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed softly: "Then do you know what is said on the barrage?"

“...... How, how to say?"

The corners of Su Zhe's mouth raised even higher. He said softly: "It turns out that my child can draw world-famous paintings worth hundreds of millions when he is two years old." ”

"Poof......

Mihanna burst out laughing on the spot.

Are all Chinese people so interesting?

Cao Nuoyi and Liu Xinghan were speechless to the extreme.

How can this be the same? For example, "Mona Lisa's Smile." Nanima is under the surface, but there are also two different smiling faces. If anyone can completely dissect it and restore it, it's the Smile Trifecta. And this point, if it weren't for scientists using multispectral scanning, would not have been able to detect it at all. Can you imagine what this concept is?

So, Master...... It's not as simple as you think. Even if it draws a lump of SHI, it may be a dynamic SHI, not a static SHI.

"170 million, buyer 16 bid 170 million, does anyone else want to increase the price?"

Lane's voice was high-pitched and impassioned. He is trying to mobilize the emotions of everyone on the scene, hoping to make this oil painting break through to a higher price. It's a pity that 170 million, which has already overflowed the outside world's estimate of 20 million, although the Vatican's paintings are of high value and great collector's value, but they are not completely blind.

Therefore, after calling it twice more, Lane finally had to regret the hammer.

"Congratulations to the 16th buyer for successfully auctioning lot 6211, Van Gon's "Sketch of Spring", thank you!"

And with the hammer falling, there was also a round of warm applause at the scene.

170 million, which is equivalent to more than one billion Chinese currency, people are not amazed by this

No way.

Unfortunately, to Lee's disappointment, people didn't seem to lose their minds because of the popularity of "Sketch of Spring", which made the next three lots a little unsatisfactory.

Fortunately, Li En was not completely unprepared for this, so he quickly calmed down. He took a deep breath and decided to use the second option.

"Next, I would like to invite the fifth lot of this time...... Purple Domain!"

Su Zhe was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously sat up straight.

His first target, Babao Zitan, appeared so early......

The next moment, a waiter walked up carrying a silver suitcase half a meter in diameter and about twenty centimeters high. As she opened the box, a chill poured out. Everyone stared at the electronic screen, only to find that what was contained inside was a whole piece of transparent ice that fit the box perfectly. And in the middle of the ice cube, there is a delicate purple epiphany.

"Sure enough, it's Babao Zitan. ”

Double Fist ...... Unconsciously clenched. It's just that the next moment, his gaze darkened unconsciously.

Because the woman who made him take it down no matter what...... I'm no longer by my side.

"Purple Domain, maybe everyone is unfamiliar with this name. But I would say that according to the ancient Babylonian texts, and the greatest scholar of the century, Jason Morgan, it has the strange power to rejuvenate people and keep them in the best condition forever. ”

As these words fell, the electronic screen suddenly changed, and an old white man with white hair and an unusually heavy pair of scholar's glasses on the bridge of his nose appeared in front of everyone.

"Purple Domain, this is truly a miraculous creature. How does it rejuvenate and keep you in a state of extreme health? How does it do it? What kind of substance does it contain? Find it, I have to find it!"

As soon as the voice fell, the screen switched back to Ziyu Youtan's body again. But at this time, the scene was already completely boiling.

"Jason Morgan, this really is Jason Morgan!"

"Is what he said true? Can this thing really rejuvenate people and keep them young forever?"

"How is this possible!?"

"No matter if it's impossible, just buy it and try it!"

"That's right, I lack everything, just not money. No, I'm going to have to take a picture of it this time!"

Of the more than 400 people in the venue, at least a third began to boil and get excited. And after listening to the double translation of Cao Nuoyi and Mihanna, Su Zhe's face was completely gloomy.

Jason Morgan, the most brilliant scholar of the century, where the hell did this guy come from?

Damn, I thought that no one knew Babao Zitan, so I could take it down at a very low price, but now after him stirred it up......

Two hundred billion Chinese coins, converted into rice knives, but only 3 billion. Even if you add the 500 million that Mihanna compensated him, and then take Liu Xinghan's 500 million, it will only be 4 billion!

This amount of money really can't give Su Zhe much sense of security.

"I hope ...... Its price won't be too high!"

As soon as Su Zhe's silent thoughts fell, Li En smiled strangely in the fiery atmosphere: "With Jason Morgan as witness, I believe that you should no longer have doubts about the efficacy of this Purple Domain, right?" It has a starting price of 1 million, and each increase must not be less than 50,000. Now, the auction begins!"

"2 million ......"

"2.3 million ......"

"3 million ......"

In less than ten seconds, the price has climbed to ...... Million!
