Chapter 809: Crisis is Approaching

The rich are most concerned about their own health, so their thirst for this 500-year-old ginseng is obvious, and this has nothing to do with Chinese and foreigners. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

So, when the first person shouted out 10 million, immediately after, the second person shouted out the price of 20 million.

Not far behind, everyone has increased their prices.

Meng Zitao didn't care about these people, after all, judging from the intensity of fierce competition, it was impossible to get this ginseng at the previous price. In addition, Meng Zitao actually didn't care much about this ginseng, no matter how good the ginseng was, could it be much higher than the effect of the spiritual liquid?

Just looking at Shu Ze's moving appearance, he should be very concerned about this ginseng, and he doesn't know what he wants to use.

While always paying attention to the direction of the on-site bidding price, Meng Zitao asked in a low voice, "You need ginseng very much?"

Shu Ze said: "I don't need it, but the elders in my family need it." ”

As the two were talking, they saw that the price soared, and it actually broke 100 million in the blink of an eye. As a result, some people at the scene began to quiet down, although they really wanted to get this ginseng, but a ginseng cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and they always had to weigh it to see if it was cost-effective.

"Breaking 100 million so soon?" Shu Ze was also a little surprised, although the five-hundred-year-old ginseng is indeed rare, but it is not so crazy! But after thinking about it, if the money is already just a number for the bidders, it is certainly worth it to be able to exchange the number for a life.

Thinking of this, Shu Ze finally started the first bidding: "120 million!"

However, the enthusiasm of the crowd was beyond his expectations, and as soon as his words fell, they were quickly drowned out by a burst of shouts.

Shu Ze was a little speechless: "As for it, isn't it just a five-hundred-year-old ginseng, what's the matter with the price as if it's all dead?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "Actually, why do you need to spend this money, have you forgotten that I am a doctor?"

Shu Ze said: "Zitao, I admire your medical skills very much, but after all, when manpower is poor, at some critical moments, only such precious medicine is useful." ”

Meng Zitao knew that Shu Ze was reasonable, although he had superb medical skills and abilities, etc., but after all, it was impossible to always be by Shu Ze's elders, in case of accidents, this ginseng could come in handy. As for the Ilocas, because the effect was so magical, he didn't dare to let anyone else know about it except his family.

It's just that as the auction progresses, Shu Ze is powerless even if he has the heart, because someone actually bids for a full 600 million US dollars, although he can get so much money, but this is only the first lot, and there are many treasures in the future, and he can't spend all the money on a single ginseng.

In the end, Shu Ze could only reluctantly give up.

The bidding for ginseng did not end until it reached 600 million, and finally it increased by 65 million, and it was photographed by a fat man in his forties, who smiled and looked at the people around him as if showing off, and his face was full of color.

Which one of you is not a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions, there is still a little city government, he is lazy and generally knowledgeable, and at this time, the auctioneer was happy about the transaction price, and immediately asked the staff to take the second lot, but it was a jade seal of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.

Meng Zitao came to the stage to identify it, and he also recognized it as genuine, which is undoubtedly another heavy weapon.

It may be that there was no bidding for ginseng just now, and everyone was holding their breath in their stomachs, so this Fang Yuxi rekindled the flames of war, and many people joined the ranks of the contenders, as if money was not money.

Eighteen million, although this price is far from being comparable to the ginseng just now, but for a small jade seal, it is already a high price, not to mention, the origin of the things here is unknown, to put it mildly, it is not much different from the black auction, the things in this kind of auction are originally cheaper than the regular auction venues, but now they are more expensive than the regular venues, I have to say that it is a little magical.

However, it may have been due to the anger that had been emanated, and the attendees became more and more sensible, and the prices of the lots returned to their normal state.

During this period, Meng Zitao and Shu Ze also auctioned three favorite lots, which cost a total of nearly 20 million US dollars.

Two hours later, during the intermission, everyone moved their muscles a little, and some people also went to the bathroom next to the hall to make it easier, but they couldn't leave this range, otherwise they would be disqualified from participating in the auction and would be severely punished. Presumably, the contents of the auction should be kept as confidential as possible.

In addition, Meng Zitao just found that after coming in, any communication tools have been blocked, and no signal can be transmitted from here. Judging from the list of Chinese and foreign precious lots just now, it is normal to do this.

It's just that Meng Zitao has had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart since just now, and this feeling is getting bigger and bigger, could it be that there is some crisis approaching?

So, while he was resting, when Meng Zitao and Shu Ze walked to a corner, he whispered a reminder.

"It won't be life-threatening, right?" Shu Ze tensed slightly.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you. Meng Zitao smiled at him.

Shu Ze smiled bitterly, and at this time, he reacted, and after a long time, when he encountered danger, he was just a burden, although he felt aggrieved, but this is the truth.

"The gap between reality and idea is too far. Shu Ze sighed faintly.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You can come together to solve my financial problem, otherwise what if I don't have enough funds when I step on Feiyan for a while?"

"After a long time, I'm a one-person ATM. Shu Ze made a joke.

"Almost. Meng Zitao smiled and said, "I found one thing just now, that Luo Haixu didn't seem to participate in the bidding from beginning to end. ”

Luo Haixu was sitting in the front row on their right just now, only ten meters away from them, and Meng Zitao could clearly see his every move.

Shu Ze frowned slightly: "You mean he has a problem?"

Meng Zitao said: "Maybe, let's see later, he may be a breakthrough." ”

Shu Ze nodded: "Well, but let's ignore these for now, what if we encounter danger?"

Meng Zitao said: "Adapt to the situation, maybe my intuition is wrong. ”

Shu Ze reluctantly said that he could only do this, and scolded in his mouth: "Made, there is no village in front of the village and no store here, and there is no way to leave if you want to leave." ”

Meng Zitao advised him not to think about it, such a big cruise ship, unless it encounters extreme circumstances, he and the army can definitely ensure everyone's safety.

Everyone has a snack to cushion their stomachs, and after a short rest, the auction continues.

The first lot in this auction is a painting, and the auctioneer took a little effort to introduce it.

"For Guan Tong, some friends may not know very well, he is a painter of the Later Liang during the Five Dynasties, painting landscapes, Jing Hao in his early years, deliberate mechanics, and in his later years, he has a reputation for being blue. I like to make the cold forest of the autumn mountain, the village dwelling in the wild crossing, the secluded people, and the fishing market mountain station, so that the people who see it are leisurely as in the wind and snow of the Baqiao, and there is no longer the appearance of the city dynasty anti-dust and customs. ”

"His artistic style, at that time, was called 'Guanjia Landscape', and Jing Hao was called 'Jingguan', and Li Cheng and Fan Kuan formed the three main schools of northern landscape painting in the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, and together with Jing Hao, Dong Yuan, and Juran, he was called the four major landscape painters of the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

"Because of the age, Guan Tong's hand-me-down works include "Mountains to be crossed" and "Guanshan Travel Map" and a few others, and this "Chunshan Xiao Temple" is one of the works that have been considered lost, we have identified it through some means, and confirmed that it is indeed a genuine work, and now please invite interested friends to come to the stage to appreciate it yourself......"

As soon as the words fell, some guests who were interested in Chinese painting came to the stage one after another to appreciate this work, including Meng Zitao and Shu Shu.

Because of the limited time, everyone could only enjoy it hastily and returned to their seats.

Meng Zitao sat down on his seat and whispered: "The brushwork of Guan Tong's landscape painting is simple and strong, the momentum is extremely strong, the stone body is solid, the mountain peaks are steep, the miscellaneous trees are abundant, there are branches without stems, and the characteristics are distinct. ”

Although the paintings of the Song and Yuan dynasties are also very precious, for Shu Ze, the value of imitation paintings is not high, so he has no interest.

However, when it came time to bid, Shu Ze found that Luo Haixu, who had not moved, actually began to offer, and he also put on a look of inevitable.

Shu Ze was surprised, he pushed Meng Zitao with his elbow, and then nodded in the direction of Luo Haixu: "Why does he care so much about this painting?"

Meng Zitao said: "I don't know, but have you noticed the foreign young man sitting next to him?"

"See, what's wrong? I didn't see him do anything special. Shu Ze asked.

Meng Zitao said: "There is no movement, but this person seems to be very nervous, and his forehead is a little sweaty." ”

Shu Ze looked over there, and Abel was very vigilant, turned his head slightly, and then immediately turned his head away.

Shu Ze said: "This guy is very alert, I didn't see it, but there must be something wrong with his appearance, do you want to ventilate the news?"

Meng Zitao shook his head: "Forget it, there is no evidence, there is no way to take him, and it is easy to involve us." And this time the organizers are not good people, this cruise ship even has heavy weapons, and I really want to see a dog-eat-dog scene. ”

Shu Ze thought about it for a while, so he didn't say anything, in order not to make Abel suspicious, he didn't look in Luo Haixu's direction from time to time like just now.

In this process, the auction of imitation paintings ended, and the final buyer was Luo Haixu, Meng Zitao found that his joy was beyond words, and his heart was even more strange, and at the same time, he kept this matter in his heart.

After this auction, Luo Haixu fell silent again, until a pair of Sekhm scepters and weights appeared.

In some frescoes of ancient Egypt, kings can sometimes be seen holding the Sekhem scepter in their right hand and a weight marker in their left hand.

Sekhm means "power". As a scepter, it is a symbolic scepter that appeared in early dynastic times.

The scepter, on the other hand, is a scepter of practical significance, which originated as a weapon and later became a symbol of royal power. The Egyptian head of power was originally a symbol of power for tribal leaders, resembling a small mace without thorns, which could mostly be carved or painted, and it was also a specific weapon in the original tribal wars, and the image of the pharaoh striking others can often be seen on Egyptian mural reliefs, holding the weight in his hand.

The more famous right header is the Scorpion King Narmai power header. The earliest physical objects became ritual utensils after the early dynasty of the scorpion kingship.

Presented at auction are a pair of Sekhem scepters and weights made of gold, which are exceptionally beautiful in appearance and fully demonstrate the craftsmanship and skill of ancient Egypt.

There are also some ancient Egyptian portraits and texts on these two objects, but when Mencius was about to study them, the time had already come. So, he used the ability, which ended up giving him a rather strange feeling.

When he stepped off the stage, Meng Zitao glanced at Abel who had just returned to his seat, although Abel seemed very calm, but judging by his observation and intuition, this foreign young man should be in a rather uncalm mood at the moment.

During the bidding, the unrest in Abel's heart completely exploded, and near the end of the bidding, he made frequent bids, and finally the ancient Egyptian treasures still fell into his hands.

In fact, with the result given by the ability, Meng Zitao originally wanted to intervene, but because of Abel's crazy bidding, and Abel was likely to know the secrets among them, he did not act rashly in the end.

The auction continued, and the next thing that was moved to the rostrum by the staff was a piece of Khotanese white jade seed rough stone, weighing about 300 catties, such a large seed rough stone, Meng Zitao and Shu Ze were the first time to see it, and they were very interested and went to the stage to observe.

Approaching the rough stone, Meng Zitao suddenly had a strange feeling, which attracted him to touch the rough stone with his hands.

When Meng Zitao woke up, his hand had already touched the original stone, and at this time, a warm feeling poured into the dantian from the original stone along his arm, and spread all over his body.

Meng Zitao was startled, and hurriedly retracted his hand, and found that there was no adverse reaction, so he put his mind at ease and looked at the rough stone in front of him in surprise.

"Could it be that this is a piece of warm jade?"

There are many types of jade, and most people know more about nephrite and jadeite, but most people don't know what warm jade and cold jade are.

In fact, the warm jade usually refers to today's nephrite, its jade is smooth, shiny and shiny, and delicate to the touch, this kind of jade is first cooled and then warmed in the hand, but this kind of cool is not cold and cold, and it will become oily and moist after grinding for a long time, just like flowing out of grease. Warm jade is the so-called nephrite, and nephrite jade is characteristic Hetian jade.

Cold jade refers to jadeite with a cool texture, its quality is as clear as glass, and its hardness is high.

Judging from Meng Zitao's feelings just now, the seed rough in front of him is closer to the meaning of "warm jade".
