Chapter 1319: Auction

"Knock knock", Lin Xiaozhi was woken up by this knock on the door, and a spirit jumped out of bed and ran over to open the door.

When I opened the door, it was a shooting star.

"What's the matter, there is a clue about Wang Qi?" Lin Xiaozhi asked without thinking about it.

"Nope. Meteor shook his head, and Lin Xiaozhi noticed that he was holding a newspaper in his hand and took it over with his hand.

"What is this?" Lin Xiaozhi flipped through it, but because he had just woken up, the room was dim, so he went back to open the curtains.

"Can I come in? Although I didn't find any clues about Wang Qi, I just read the newspaper and said that a collection with a starting price of hundreds of millions of yuan suddenly appeared in the New York auction house. After getting Lin Xiaozhi's nod and permission, Meteor walked in and pulled a chair and sat down.

Lin Xiaozhi sat on the sofa, the curtains were quite open after they were opened, and the wooden floor was shining with sunlight.

"I'm not good at English, this Tortoise means turtle, right?"

The word order in English is different from Chinese, and it does seem to be more difficult.

Lin Xiaozhi had a possibility in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it, thinking that his English level was not good.

Meteor is used to browsing documents in various languages at high speed, and he has a sense of language, and he completely understands the meaning of this news.

Meteor said: "If translated literally, the name of that auction item is the Rainbow Turtle, could it be your Colorful Turtle Stone?"

Lin Xiaozhi recalled the appearance of the Colorful Turtle Stone, indeed, if you don't know its real name, it is very reasonable to name it like this.

"Where's the New York auction house?" I'm going to go now!" Lin Xiaozhi jumped up from his chair.

"Don't get excited, it's not time yet, I checked the information, the auction starts at nine o'clock in the morning, and it's seven o'clock. Meteor hurriedly grabbed Lin Xiaozhi.

Even the time when the auction started has been checked, it is worthy of a meteor, it is too reliable.

Lin Xiaozhi and Meteor arrived at the auction house ten minutes early, and there were still very few people here, mainly because the concept of time abroad was different from that in China, and they would arrive on time if it was nine o'clock, not in advance.

Participating in the auction requires some formalities, and the rules here are similar to those in China, and even the whole process is more convenient and faster.

Without exception, there is proof of identity and proof of assets, and a certain deposit is required.

The auction house organized an auction especially for this colorful turtle stone, because there are only a handful of people in New York who can afford to buy this collection.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the staff took Lin Xiaozhi and Meteor into the venue, and they were the first guests to arrive.

The people who came still greatly exceeded Lin Xiaozhi's expectations.

Meteor's connections are not as extensive as Jin Zhan's, but he can still recognize some of them.

Lin Xiaozhi also met some characters that could only be seen in newspapers.

The venue was serious, and the two of them deliberately rented a suit of great value in order to support the scene, so that the road was unimpeded, and of course they couldn't lose their identities at this time.

So Lin Xiaozhi and Meteor communicated with their eyes and mobile phone typing.

"That's a member of Congress, if I'm not mistaken. ”

Meteor is not used to translating names in Chinese, so he typed English on the search engine, and then translated the entire web page into Chinese and showed it to Lin Xiaozhi.

This person has a long name, he is a congressman and the chairman of one of the top 10 companies in the United States, his wife is a famous artist, and his children are all geniuses.

Lin Xiaozhi has a good memory, and he recognized another one, meteors don't know the name every time, so the two got together to discuss the search.

In the end, they came to a conclusion: these people who came were all bigwigs.

In terms of all net worth, Lin Xiaozhi may not be comparable to them, but with their status and status, filming this thing must be just for entertainment, and it is unlikely that they will bet all their net worth.

More and more people came, and there were gradually whispers in the venue, not necessarily in English.

Lin Xiaozhi couldn't understand at all, so he could only persuade himself in his heart not to be nervous.

In previous auctions, he was accustomed to listening to other people's discussions.

Seeing that Lin Xiaozhi's hands and feet were trembling, Meteor asked him in Chinese, "Are you okay?"

Lin Xiaozhi shook his head.

It felt much better to hear the familiar language, and he talked to the meteor about what he had just speculated.

"Indeed, so you're going to ......"

"Well, even if I am bankrupt, I will take that piece of colorful turtle stone back. Lin Xiaozhi said.

Meteor couldn't quite understand: "As for?"

Lin Xiaozhi thought about it for a while, how to tell his friends about the relics of the world.

Of course, the heavenly machine cannot be revealed, but there are still many loopholes that can be exploited in this regard, for example, without involving the core content, you can describe it a little, so that they can understand their own approach.

"It's about a commitment. My commitment to others and others. Lin Xiaozhi pondered for a moment and spoke.

"I see, a promise. Meteor nodded in understanding.

Lin Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there was nothing to find fault with in his statement, it was simply perfect and killing two birds with one stone.

Although Lin Xiaozhi was forced to accept this task, he could be regarded as agreeing to the colorful turtle.

Without the Colorful Turtle Stone, not only would he not be able to fulfill his promise, but more importantly, he might not be able to defeat the Disaster Relic.

Lin Xiaozhi secretly complained in his heart, not only is he a promise, but he is still a life of death.

And this time it's really a "big mission from heaven", I don't know if it can be successfully completed?

When I came to my senses, the auction was already halfway through.

"Six hundred million. ”

"600 million once, 600 million twice ......"

The rich man who shouted 600 million looked like he was sure of victory.

Lin Xiaozhi shouted in jerky English: "Billion!"

"Who? who are you?" the rich man stood up from his seat, "I ask to check this man's qualifications!"

The staff trotted forward and said, "This is Mr. Lin Xiaozhi from China, and his qualifications have been verified by us." ”

"No way! This man is in a rented suit! You'd better check if his assets are more than a billion!" the rich man cried.

Lin Xiaozhi couldn't understand a word, so he could only ask Meteor: "What did he say?"

"We're in trouble, and he's asking the organizer to verify your assets. ”

After a while, the staff really came to Lin Xiaozhi and took him to verify the assets.

As a result, the entire auction was suspended.

"Some people like to talk nonsense, since people are bidding, of course they are rich, not to mention where did you know that his suit was rented?"
