Chapter 1187 Must Be Filmed
Divine consciousness poured into the room like a tide, Ye Fan's face flashed a trace of horror, I thought that the area inside was not large, but unexpectedly, the area inside was quite large, it was an extremely luxurious and huge hall, and it was also divided into several small areas, compared to the noise and madness on the first floor, it was much quieter here.
Before entering the door, Ye Fan turned his head to look at the young man and said, "You and I have known each other for two days, and I don't know your name yet." β
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Ye Shao, the ghost hand boss once told us that since the day we joined the organization, the name has been abandoned, and we can only pick it up after retirement, so we don't have a name now, only a code name, and my code name in the organization is Linghu." β
"Linghu? Ye Fan smiled, just from this little thing, it can be seen that the intelligence organization created by the ghost hand is becoming more and more formal.
"I've come in to inquire before, and I probably know better, and when I go in, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. Linghu said in a low voice, quietly opened the door, and walked in with Ye Fan.
The area here is very large, beyond the scope of Ye Fan's divine sense exploration, there are many places that have not been discussed, and now after coming in, Ye Fan found that this is another world entirely, and there are more foreigners and mixed-race here, and there are many sexy foreign girls, whether it is figure or appearance, it is a level higher than the first floor.
Linghu took Ye Fan to the auction area, sat in the last row, and then said to Ye Fan: "The auctions here are held all year round, the sellers are very mysterious, and the identity of the sellers is not simple, it is said that there are a lot of good things." By the way, Ye Shao, the purchase method here is more special, you can use money, you can also use things for exchange, if you use things for exchange, the auction staff will contact the seller on the spot, and after negotiation, you can use things for exchange. β
While listening to Linghu's introduction, Ye Fan observed the surroundings, although it was a small-scale auction, but there were more than 30 people at the scene, including foreigners, Chinese, and even Indian Ah San, at the back of the seating area, there were more than ten single rooms, and the word VIP was marked at the door. Ye Fan just wanted to check it with his divine sense, but in the end he held back, in case there was a master inside, if it was discovered, it would cause unnecessary conflicts.
Seeing Ye Fan looking back, Linghu said in a low voice: "Those more than ten private rooms, in addition to their noble status, are also very rich, and the rent of a single room for one night is as high as 100,000 US dollars. Generally, only those bigwigs who don't want to reveal their identities will sit in private rooms. β
Ye Fan nodded and said, "Lingyun Pavilion's business is quite extensive, according to the information I got before, Lingyun Pavilion's main way to make money is to sell antiques and operate auctions. β
Linghu said: "Ye Shao, what you said is right, but selling antiques is not much of a business, and the auction is not much profit, in fact, the most profitable way for Lingyun Pavilion to make money is to use the auction to launder money, basically a lot of illegal income in Southeast Asia will choose to cooperate with Lingyun Pavilion, Lingyun Pavilion is responsible for operation, laundering money, and then Lingyun Pavilion will draw commissions." β
In addition, Lingyun Pavilion also operates an underground bank, and it is said that the business is very hot. Linghu continued.
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Lingyun Pavilion is quite good at playing, although the comprehensive strength of Lingyun Pavilion is not very strong, but because of the special geographical location and more contact with the outside world, their internationalization level is relatively high, and the ways to collect money are also more diversified. In contrast, as a top sect, Wujimen, the way to make money is more clichΓ©. β
Linghu said: "This is incomparable, the Wuji Group is on the right path, and the Lingyun Pavilion is on the crooked path. β
Not long after, the host of the auction walked up to the auction table and began to conduct the auction.
More than a dozen auction items were exhibited one after another, either calligraphy and painting or porcelain, although they were very precious, but for Ye Fan, there was not much value, Ye Fan didn't take it seriously, smoking a cigarette, waiting quietly to see if there was a baby today.
Linghu saw that Ye Fan was not interested in the auction, and said in a low voice: "Ye Shao, these are all small meanings in the front, the main purpose is to launder money, and the things that appear in the back are real treasures." β
Ye Fan said indifferently: "A total of twelve auction items have been auctioned, only six are genuine, and the rest are all fakes, but Lingyun Pavilion's counterfeiting technology is indeed very high, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all." β
"Ye Shao, do you have any research on your antiques?" Linghu looked at Ye Fan in surprise, sitting in the last row, they were about more than twenty meters away from the auction table, although it was not very far, but it was still very difficult to rely on a pair of naked eyes to observe the small antiques, and the antiques had to be close to see the details, and even many experts took the antiques in their hands and carefully observed them before they could draw conclusions.
Now Ye Fan is more than 20 meters away, just a few glances, you can know the authenticity, it is really not simple, no wonder the ghost hand said that Ye Shao has fiery eyes, today is considered to be insightful.
"A little research. Ye Fan said lightly, when auctioning antiques just now, Ye Fan had already identified the authenticity, but he didn't point it out, because doing so was completely uncomfortable and would affect Ye Fan's plan.
After waiting for a few minutes, a staff member walked up to the stage with a plate and placed it next to the host.
Before the host could lift the lid, Ye Fan had already made up his mind to take a picture, so he said to Linghu: "This thing must be taken down, no matter how much it costs, it must be taken down, understand?"
Linghu, who hadn't seen what the auction item was, nodded with a confused expression, and looked curiously at the auction item that had not yet been unveiled, what was it? What made Linghu wonder the most was that the auction item was still covered with a lid, how did Ye Fan know what was inside?
Suddenly, Ye Fan felt a slight fluctuation of spiritual power coming from the private room behind him, a trace of consternation flashed on Ye Fan's face, a master, an absolute master, and a master that Ye Fan had never been in contact with, the fluctuation of spiritual power was different from that of a martial artist, and it was also different from a person with extraordinary abilities, but another special existence, Ye Fan realized that the VIPs in the private room were also very interested in the auction items.
The host raised his voice and said into the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next auction is a rare treasure, the value far exceeds all the auction items just now, before I open the lid, please prepare banknotes and exchange items, we have received the seller's request, this treasure can be purchased in cash, or it can be exchanged for items." β
Linghu said in a low voice: "Ye Shao, anything that can be exchanged for items is a good thing. β
"We have competitors, and depending on the meaning of the other party, it is also inevitable to get this treasure, let's buy it with money first, if the money doesn't work, let's exchange things for things. Ye Fan said in a deep voice, glanced back at the private room, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, no matter who the other party is, Ye Fan will take this item.
Linghu saw Ye Fan look back, and immediately realized that the competitor Ye Fan said was the people in the private room, although Linghu didn't know why Ye Fan was so sure, but one thing Linghu knew very well that the people in the private room were not easy to mess with, and some of them came to participate in the auction specifically to get what they wanted, so they were very well prepared.
"Ye Shao, let's be careful, the people in the private room are not easy to mess with. Linghu said in a low voice.
Ye Fan snorted disdainfully and said, "They are not easy to mess with, I am even more difficult to provoke, I must get this thing, prepare to bid." β
The host lifted the lid, and a small pale golden ball appeared in front of everyone's eyes, similar in size to a quail egg, except that the color was pale gold, and there was nothing special about it.
"This is a relic, it was left after the death of a high monk a hundred years ago, and those who have attained the Tao can improve their skills for 20 years, and now they can be auctioned for a low price of one million dollars. The supporters shouted loudly.
Twenty years of skill, this is a treasure that cultivators dream of, and for some people who have reached the bottleneck, as long as they take this relic, they can directly advance.
As the host said that it was time to bid, the scene suddenly became cold, Linghu was stunned for a moment, and whispered to Ye Fan: "Ye Shao, the situation is not good, the relics that can improve the skill of twenty years are extremely tempting for any cultivator, even if the people present are not cultivators, they can also be photographed, and then sold to cultivators at a high price, perhaps in exchange for the help of cultivators." β
"None of the people present took the initiative to bid, which means that the people in the private room have already greeted them in advance, and the bidders present dare not mess with the people in the private room. β
Ye Fan said indifferently: "Bid immediately, don't care about others." β
Linghu nodded, waved at the host, and said, "Two million dollars." β
The host was slightly stunned, looked at the spirit fox with a complicated expression, and then looked at the private room behind the spirit fox.
"Ye Shao, the host must have colluded with the people in the private room. Linghu said in a low voice.
A trace of coldness flashed on Ye Fan's face, and he said, "The relics that can improve the strength of twenty years are too important to me, and they must be won." β
Not long after, a deep voice came from the private room: "Ten million dollars." β
As soon as these words came out, there was a slight commotion at the scene, jumping directly from two million to ten million, and it was still US dollars, even if it was a fool, it could be seen that the people in the private room were bound to get the relics, and put pressure on Linghu and Ye Fan, who were shouting just now.
Thinking of this, everyone looked back at Ye Fan and Linghu, everyone wanted to see what the people who dared to do it against the people in the private room looked like.
