Regarding Tang Yi being able to get two invitations to the antique auction in Hong Kong City three days later, Cheng Ling did not show too many other emotions except for being slightly surprised.

He had seen this Tang Jiuye's means and abilities many times.

Although the specifications of that auction were extremely high, it might be difficult for others to reach, but for Tang Jiuye, it was nothing more than that.

After the ticket matter was settled, Tang Yi discussed with Chengling the details of participating in the auction three days later, he has the skills of appreciation, but after all, he has not been seriously exposed to antiques, and he is completely unfamiliar with this industry.

Although Cheng Ling is not a senior collector, he can't stand up to his family history and is well-informed, and the two of them go to Hong Kong City together, which will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

"Old Tang, if you really want to get that Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable, you still need to make some preparations in advance. My friend told me on the phone that this auction is different from the past, and they do not accept on-site transfers. ”

After chatting about some details of the Jiuyang Bronze Venerable, Cheng Ling changed his words and said with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Transfers are not accepted?!"

Tang Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, which was a big surprise to him.

If you don't accept transfers, you can't just accept cash?

If that's the case, the auction will be interesting.

"If I'm not mistaken, this kind of temporary targeted auction rules should be specially designed for the Nine Sheep Bronze Statue, and the people who are qualified to participate in the auction are all rich or expensive, and no one is short of money. It is for this reason that there is such a strange sounding rule. Not only do you not accept transfers, but you also don't accept cash payments. ”

Neither transfers nor cash are accepted, so what kind of payment method should be used for auction?

Without waiting for Tang Yi to ask, Chengling immediately explained: "They only accept gold bars. ”

"Just gold bars? That's kind of interesting. ”

The corners of Tang Yi's mouth furrowed, but his brows furrowed.

He always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

I don't know why, he has a very bad premonition, as if he has been targeted.

Sure enough, Cheng Ling paused before continuing: "At that time, the auction can only be entered by the person with the invitation letter, and no entourage is allowed, and each person can only carry one suitcase." In other words, although the organizers of the auction did not say it explicitly, they meant to limit the amount of money that each person could carry. ”

Yes, how many gold bars can be held in a suitcase.

How many boxes can one person carry?!

Tang Yi's brows furrowed even deeper, since it is an auction, shouldn't we hope that the auction will be sold at a sky-high price, and the upper limit of the funds carried by the participants is equivalent to limiting the upper limit of the price of the lot.

The auction organizer is not stupid, there is no reason not to make money without making money.

Unless, there is some shady conspiracy or purpose in between!

Tang Yi instantly thought of the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable!

"Someone wants to lock the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable in this way!"

After this result, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, Jiuyang Bronze Zun, as a heavy treasure, is bound to have countless people and even countless organizations covetous, purely fighting for financial strength, I am afraid that no one will lose anyone, and in the end it is very likely to auction a sky-high price that no one can accept. If I'm not mistaken, the auction three days later is very likely to be a yin and yang auction, and it is not the Jiuyang Bronze Zun that is auctioned on the surface, but the Jiuyang Bronze Zun purchase qualification, and secretly needs to pay another money to really buy the Jiuyang Bronze Zun. ”

Cheng Ling's face is also very ugly, and in the past, this kind of yin and yang auction only existed when those unseen lots were born.

In the Yin-Yang Auction, where there are no light lots, participants will receive a list of lots, and then the actual lots corresponding to the list of lots will be dictated.

To put it simply, the lot sold by the seller and the lot bought by the buyer have nothing to do with the lot displayed at the auction.

"Yin Yang Auction?!"

Tang Yi gently chewed on this new term that he had heard for the first time, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.

The first consideration is the gold bar that can be brought into the market, the current international gold price is 362 yuan / gram, a 500 grams of pure gold, equivalent to 180,000 yuan.

Even if a large suitcase is filled with a box of gold bars, based on 100 gold bars, it is equivalent to 18 million.

18 million sounds scary, but in fact, I'm afraid that even one percent of the true price of Jiuyang Bronze Venerable is not enough.

Even if you add the 100 gold bars of Chengling, the two of them add up to only 36 million in competition capital.

Then, the mastermind behind the door who really wants to lock the Jiuyang Bronze Venerable will definitely have an overwhelming number of gold bars in his hands.

Thinking of this, Tang Yi looked at Chengling and asked, "Starling, is it possible that someone will cheat in an auction like this that limits the upper limit of funds to be carried?"

"Are you saying that someone prepares more gold bars in advance? There is no such possibility, if there are only 52 people in the whole venue, then there will only be 52 boxes of gold bars, and the auction of this size will be jointly supervised by all parties, even if someone tries to cheat, it is absolutely impossible to succeed. ”

Chengling's words were categorical, but they dispelled Tang Yi's other worries.

If that's the case, then there's only one way to get more gold bars than someone else, and to buy them when you enter the venue.

If Tang Yi hadn't guessed, the one behind the scenes, or those people who really locked the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable, would most likely have already contacted the helper, or had already made sufficient preparations.

"It seems that if you want to win the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable, the first hurdle to overcome is to compete for those 52 boxes of gold bars!"

In an instant, Tang Yi came to a conclusion.

"No, Old Tang, you are wrong, the first hurdle we have to break through is how to get our own box of gold bars to Hong Kong City, smuggling gold is a felony!"

Chengling shook his head lightly and gave him another blow that was neither light nor heavy.

How to bring two boxes of gold to Hong Kong City was not a big problem for Tang Yi.

"Starling, leave the matter of bringing the gold bars into Hong Kong City to me, in the past two days, you can collect as much information as possible about the auction in three days, you can do anything, the more detailed the better. Jiuyang Bronze Venerable is a treasure left by our ancestors, and nothing can be said to flow abroad!"

Tang Yi quickly made a preliminary plan in his heart, now that he has figured out the key points and difficulties, he must solve these difficulties as much as possible in the next three days.

"Good!"

Chengling didn't say much, just nodded vigorously.

Coming out of Chengling's courtyard, the first thing Tang Yi did after getting in the car was to make a wish.

"System, I want the detailed information of the participants of the Jiuyang Bronze Antiques Auction in Hong Kong City in three days. ”

[This wish is not a special wish and can be realized.] 】

[In view of the large number of participants, the amount of money required for each document is 50 million, please confirm whether to continue to make a wish.] 】

Each data needs to consume 50 million?!

Tang Yijun's face darkened, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Aside from him and Chengling, there are 50 invitees who have received the invitation, and each person's information needs to consume 50 million to get it, doesn't 50 people mean that 2.5 billion is needed?

Although Tang Yi still has billions left in his bank account, he can't stand it.

"The system really depends on people cooking, I used to make a wish to get a piece of information, that is, one or two million at most tens of millions can be done, it seems that all the people who participate in the auction this time are not simple!"

Gently rubbing his slightly swollen temples, he once again felt that there was not enough money to spend.

Although he now has billions in his hands, compared with the real top rich, Tang Yi's net worth is estimated to be just a well-off.

"Forget it, the information of the 31 participants outside the country and the 9 people in Hong Kong City, Aocheng and Bay City is gone. ”

When it is time to save, it is still necessary to save, and no matter how rich you are, you can't spend it casually without a bottom line.

Krypton gold is a full 500 million, and Tang Yi finally got the details of the participants who received the invitation letter from ten other people in the mainland in addition to him and Chengling.

After roughly scanning all ten documents, he found that the origin of these ten people was much bigger than he had imagined.

In addition to the collector named Xu Bing, the other nine people are either giants or rich N generations with deep family roots.

"Huh, among the people who received the invitation, there was actually a top stubborn master of our stubborn circle. ”

When he saw the last piece of information, Tang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking quite surprised.

In the huge imperial capital, there are only nine people in total, including the top stubborn lord plus Tang Yi.

The name on the information that appeared in his hand was Zhou Cheng, and like Tang Yi, Zhou Cheng was quite low-key on weekdays, and there were the least rumors about him in the circle.

Tang Yi extracted Zhou Cheng's information alone, and after reading it carefully from beginning to end, he found that this Zhou Dashao not only has a family history, but also has been in the prime minister since his ancestors hundreds of years ago.

None of this is the point, but the point is that Zhou Cheng's great-grandfather was a professor of history at Peking University and participated in the massive underground movement to protect national treasures.

Zhou Cheng's grandfather and father, both senior antique collectors, once donated more than 20 national treasures to the National Museum one after another.

Of course, the donations of Zhou Cheng's grandfather and father were all secret donations, and in the eyes of the world, the more than 20 national treasures were still in their hands at this time.

"No wonder Zhou Cheng will participate in the auction three days later, such a heavy treasure as Jiuyang Bronze Venerable, with the patriotism of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhou family, will never sit idly by and watch it go overseas, and I am afraid that when the time comes, I will buy it back by smashing the pot and selling iron!"

From receiving the two-star mission of Jiuyang Bronze Venerable to the present, Tang Yi finally showed a smile on his face for the first time.

Zhou Cheng is the first ally he will contact next.

He believed that with the Zhou family's style, Zhou Cheng was 100% willing to cooperate with him.

The information obtained by Tang Yi was extremely detailed, and it naturally had Zhou Cheng's phone number and home address on it.

After exiting the interface of the mailbox to view the information, he dialed Zhou Cheng's phone as soon as possible.
