Chapter 482: Disgraced
First of all, these people did not expect that there would be a sudden explosion, nor did they expect that the houses that stored the treasures would suddenly burst into flames, and even if they did, they would not have ignited such a fire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis must have been a long-planned sneak attack!
"Fight the fire, hurry up and save the fire. Let's put out the fire of the building with a thousand treasures and antiques! Hurry, hurry, Baga, Baga!"
"It's over, it's over! Not only is the national treasure gone, but now even the thousand precious antiques to be handed over have been destroyed in the fire. Takazawa, who received the bad news, got up from his bed overnight and rushed to the Island Collection, which was already in a sea of fire when he arrived here.
Even if the fire brigade arrived, it could only extinguish the general fire, mainly because the place was too big. Most of the buildings here are old buildings, all of which are made of wood, so they burn very fiercely after a fire. In addition, the wind is still a little strong tonight, so it has become a trend to add fuel to the fire.
"Have you found out, which group of thieves is it?" Gao Mizawa roared at the security captain.
"It hasn't been found out yet......" The security captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Five national treasures were lost a few days ago, and the whereabouts have not yet been found, so I didn't expect this big thing to happen again tonight.
"Hmph, waste, waste, so did Jing Fang find out?" Gao Zejian continued to ask.
"There's no news over there~"
"Alas~" Gao Ze's face turned black when he saw it.
A few hours later, the fire was finally extinguished.
"Hurry up and see how many antiques are left to be remedied, and how many are left in good condition. Gao Zejian waited anxiously for several hours before the fire was extinguished, and now his eyes were red and his face was haggard.
"Yes. ā
An hour later, after some inventory and accounting, there were still thousands of antiques left in the entire island collection in good condition, of which more than 90,000 were all destroyed in the fire. None of the remaining antiques are worth much. It's all that kind of garbage.
As for the remaining five national treasures, they didn't even find the slag, in fact, they were stolen by Shuichi Minamino a long time ago.
In addition, the 1,000 treasures and antiques were all destroyed.
Not only that, but there are 100,000 large and small antiques in this island country collection, and now there are only a few thousand left, which is a big loss. It can be said that the collection of the island collection for hundreds of years was basically wiped out by a fire.
As soon as the news reached Gao Zejian's ears, he fainted tragically.
Since the island collection is located in the city, most of the citizens saw the fire, although they did not know why it started. But when I saw the fire in the collection hall, many people came to watch.
Originally, Gao Zejian and others wanted to cover up this matter, and the Supreme Auction House over there also wanted to suppress the news, but when such a big thing happened, many people couldn't suppress it at all.
So the next day, all kinds of TV and newspaper media reports flew all over the sky!
TV Tokyo Midday News: Shocked, shocked, the Island Country Collection, one of the top 10 collections in the country, caught fire last night. The cause of the fire is unknown, but 100,000 pieces of antique calligraphy and paintings accumulated over hundreds of years have been destroyed, and it is said that only a few thousand pieces remain intact at present...... Heavy losses......
Tokyo Morning Post: Last night, a fire broke out in the Island Country Collection, and it took four hours to extinguish it. A total of about 100,000 antique artifacts were destroyed...... The Island Collection was built 400 years ago and has always been an iconic collection of cultural and artistic relics of the island country. But last night a fire made it ruined...... We express our deepest silence...... So far, it has not been found out what exactly caused the fire......
In fact, the news was found out, but it was not allowed to report so quickly because the thieves made it, what a shame it was.
However, as soon as this explosive news came out, the island nation was in an uproar.
Such an important collection was destroyed by a fire. I don't know how many precious antiques have disappeared into the long river of history in this way. I don't know how much money I lost!
After the news came out, the rich people who were going to participate in the Supreme Auction before quit. I feel that the Supreme Auction House is not trustworthy. Now those ten national treasures are gone, and the thousand precious antiques have also been destroyed. And why don't you participate in a chicken leg auction? Many rich people have put down a lot of business and want to participate in this auction, and now they have messed up their plans.
After all, some foreign tycoons come here from abroad, which is a great delay in time. People can be hundreds of thousands of people per minute.
The Supreme Auction has a headache about this. also began to sue the island country collection, because they can't give them antiques for auction now, and the two sides instantly entered the stage of bargaining. Anyway, the current Gao Ze can't see that he has a headache now. Not only did the top put pressure on him, but the auction house over there also gave him eye medicine. If he can't handle this, he will retire early, and he will not have a pension yet.
In the end, the Supreme Auction House and the Island Collection reached a certain consensus, that is, the auction will be held as usual, but the antiques will be transferred from several other collections. A collection of more than a dozen pieces has been transferred, and almost hundreds of fine antiques have been gathered.
Of course, this is also something that other collectors are definitely unwilling to do, but because the island country Z is finally willing to do so. After all, it's all about selling money to build basic transportation.
Besides, most of these things belong to the island nation.
As a result, this auction with a bad reputation went ahead as scheduled, but a third of the rich people chose not to come. Because they are now completely disappointed in the Supreme Auction House.
After all, integrity in this industry is the most important!
Anyway, the Supreme Auction House was pitted by the Island Collection this time.
This day is the day when the Supreme Auction House holds an auction, and the Supreme Auction House, as one of the largest auction houses in the island country, still has the strength. After they apologized vigorously, two-thirds of the wealthy people who were supposed to attend were willing to attend.
Otherwise, it is estimated that even a third of the people did not come.
The rich people who were invited were all members, so there was no fee to enter the venue at all. However, some people who did not receive an invitation want to participate and ask for tickets.
A total of 10,000 yen tickets are required.
Shuichi Minamino also came to participate, he didn't need an admission ticket, after all, his identity was here, and he was now a rich man.
