Chapter 508: Xuanwu Evil Talisman
The auction that Li Anshi took Lin Xiaozhi to was different from the usual, and the scale here was obviously much larger.
Compared with the black market auction that Fang Yuan took to before, this place is quite open, with a lot of people, and there are no people who hide themselves, but it looks like a commodity exchange meeting.
For these bigwigs, in addition to bidding for good things, the auction also has the meaning of being a means of socializing.
Li Anshi met several groups of acquaintances along the way.
"Isn't this Anshi? I heard that you went overseas to play around and came back, how is it, is the island interesting?"
The news that Li Anshi was taken to the island is also well-known in this small circle, but they don't know the details, and they don't know that this is quite a shameful thing for Li Anshi.
The latter's face froze at first, and then turned to a social smile and said: "It's nothing fun, it's almost the same as in China, it's just that the casino is a little bigger, and there are more tricks." ”
The person who accosted him smiled maliciously, glanced at Lin Xiaozhi curiously, and did not continue to speak.
Most of the people who greeted Li Anshi had to ask about going to sea, and none of them had been to the mysterious Wandering Island, so they were quite curious about what the island looked like, but they asked the wrong person.
Li Anshi can be said to be ignorant of the layout and games on this island, and it is quite a shameful experience.
But I couldn't tell outsiders about this, so I smiled and perfunctory them.
After the tedious communication, Li Anshi had time to talk to Lin Xiaozhi.
"Uncle Li, is there too many people here?"
Lin Xiaozhi observed for a long time, and there were so many people in the auction hall that they could hold a concert, which was obviously a bit strange.
Li Anshi said with a smile: "There are many people who want the news released by this auction, and everyone else is here to join in the fun, just pay attention to a few people who are about the same value as me." ”
This kind of public auction is a lot of money just for selling tickets, and it is not uncommon for those who are willing to come in and join in the fun and watch a fresh person buy a ticket for a few thousand yuan.
However, the security system here is still trustworthy enough, and the security check has been connected to the facial recognition system, and as long as there is a suspicious person, they will be immediately discovered and asked out, and these rich people can walk around in it with peace of mind.
The opening time was approaching, and everyone's conversation shifted from greetings to auction items.
Lin Xiaozhi noticed that a word frequently appeared in everyone's words, "clue", could this be the clue of the key?
Being able to attract the gathering of so many bigwigs is a very good thing, Lin Xiaozhi's heart moved, and he became more interested in this auction item.
The auction started soon, but the first few auctions were very ordinary antiques, and they were also hot auctions.
These are ordinary in front of what Lin Xiaozhi guessed, but in fact, if they are auctioned in other places, they are also treasures that can be slaughtered.
Therefore, there was no unsuccessful auction, and it was still taken away.
Lin Xiaozhi and Li Anshi couldn't move, waiting for these treasures that went through the motions to be bought away.
Naturally, what they were most concerned about was the final auction item, and Lin Xiaozhi deduced from the booklet that this was the treasure that Li Anshi told him.
Although the scale of the auction is very large, the speed of the auction is not slow at all, and it seems that the organizers also know what most of these people are coming for.
Each treasure has its owner, and the atmosphere of the auction rises as the last auction item approaches.
Soon, the last lot was brought to the stage.
"I'm sure everyone is looking forward to our auction, which is the last treasure of this auction and the most valuable. The Xuanwu evil talisman has been identified as genuine by experts, with a starting price of 50 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 1 million each time!"
The auctioneer didn't introduce this thing too much, and most of the bigwigs in this auction came for this auction item, and naturally they were all knowledgeable people.
When Lin Xiaozhi saw this thing, he was surprised: "There really is this." ”
Of course he knows what this thing is for, the Xuanwu evil charm is as the name suggests, it is engraved with a Xuanwu pattern, people who don't know the goods will think it is a big turtle at a glance, but in fact it is a divine beast, and the effect is very practical, all evils do not invade, even if you sleep in the cemetery in the middle of the night with this thing, you don't need to worry about the invasion of ghosts, it is really a good thing, and it is also very good to use when going to the tomb.
Li Anshi said: "I think you need it." ”
He knew that Lin Xiaozhi must have been to the tomb, and he also knew the use of the Xuanwu evil talisman, which could be said to be a life-saving artifact for Lin Xiaozhi.
Lin Xiaozhi smiled: "I do want this." ”
However, there are not only two of them who have this kind of thought, in addition to the usefulness of the Xuanwu evil talisman in evil spirits, it is also very healthy for the elderly to wear, and many rich people are old and have no resistance to this kind of thing.
In the face of many competitors, Lin Xiaozhi is not panicked at all, he is now very wealthy, it is enough to buy an auction item, plus there is a vein that is making money every day, Lin Xiaozhi is not worried about his lack of money.
However, it is worthy of being the last auction item, and the competition is quite fierce, as far as Lin Xiaozhi and Li Anshi are talking, the price has risen from 50 million at the beginning to 200 million.
After the initial surge, there were many fewer people competing for 200 million, and the price increase was no longer rising a lot in one go, and Lin Xiaozhi also raised a sign to shout the price.
"Two hundred and fifty million!"
This price is close to the bottom line of many people, they really want this treasure, but more than 200 million, 300 million to buy such a thing, isn't it only available in the collection room?
This is not a good deal for the rich.
As a result, the frequency of bidding is much lower, and many people quietly withdraw from the competition.
The person who is still bidding with Lin Xiaozhi is about the same size as Li Anshi.
Lin Xiaozhi was calm, and when the other party shouted the price, he added 10 million to see who couldn't hold his breath first.
"Two hundred and seventy-five million!"
"Two hundred and ninety million!"
Lin Xiaozhi's shouting suddenly widened the gap again, and the person he wanted to follow had almost disappeared when he shouted this time.
However, there are still people who do not give up and shout the price.
"Twenty-nine and five million!"
This is the person's reserve price, and he only brought so much money, if Lin Xiaozhi shouts again, he can't afford it.
However, for Lin Xiaozhi, there is still room for this price, in fact, Lin Xiaozhi is ready to win 350 million.
Beyond this price, the Xuanwu Evil Talisman is not worth it to Lin Xiaozhi.
"Three hundred million!"
Lin Xiaozhi shouted.
As soon as this price came out, everyone was in an uproar, shocked by Lin Xiaozhi's young age and such strong financial resources.
The offer of 300 million yuan, no one followed, and the Xuanwu evil talisman finally fell into the hands of Lin Xiaozhi.
