The auction continues in an orderly manner. The objects photographed have also changed from those small fights to more valuable luxuries, and in a blink of an eye, they have come to an end. As the pair of glass emerald jade jade bracelets fetched a high price of 4.8 million, the last lot was carefully moved to the display case by the staff.
On a giant screen behind the display case, information about the last lot is displayed. On the left is a large image magnified several times, and on the right is an introduction. In fact, there is no need for too many textual explanations, but anyone who has eyes and is not blind will recognize that thing.
Sure enough, it was a bronze head, and it was also a dog head among the four beast heads that had been missing all these years. Almost everyone present couldn't help but gasp and let out an exclamation at the first moment of seeing the dog's head. Then, the people with different reactions gathered together in groups and began to whisper and discuss.
"Pandora, the finale is indeed a bronze head. Ah Mei leaned her head towards Zhao Qingru, then lowered her voice and said softly.
"The things handed down by the ancestors that were snatched from the auction in the land boundary of Huaxia back then are really ......" In fact, Zhao Qingru, who had been waiting for news, flipped out his mobile phone and looked at the short message that had just been transmitted, and after a long list of suspected irrelevant garbled characters went through in his mind, he read out the specific content.
"This dog head zodiac bronze head is Mr. Inoue from the Sunrise Season, Mr. Inoue knows that this is an old object in our China, so he is not far away......"
On the stage, the host began to introduce the dog head unhurriedly, and the original discussion in the audience was much quieter. The fact that everyone present chose to remain silent does not mean that they have no other plans in their hearts. But fortunately, in the past few years, some tacit understandings have slowly formed.
The great achievements made in the past 20 years of reform and opening up are not only the smooth return of Hong Kong and Macao. It also means that the entire national strength of China has increased rapidly, and the money in the pockets of the people is getting richer and richer. It is said that "gold in troubled times is an antique", and the money in this pocket is rich, and it is normal to recycle those old objects that have been scattered overseas back to China little by little.
Question: Who is more stupid than who these days? Huaxia has fallen into the eyes of those crooked nuts who have old objects in their hands, and naturally it is impossible to let go of such a good opportunity to kill the killer in vain. This kind of initiative is in the seller's market, and if you swap the identities of both parties, I'm afraid it's half a catty to eight taels.
Therefore, in the nineties of the last century, the final auction price of those antique calligraphy and paintings auctioned in several Chinese special auctions in Western Europe was more expensive than one piece, and higher each time. Not to mention, take the bronze head of the zodiac as an example, the first three pieces are only more than 1,000 meters of gold, and the last one, but five or six years of hard work, has soared to 850,000 meters of gold. It is also a loss that in the next seven or eight years, there have been no more zodiac animal heads, otherwise this price will only be tens of millions of euros like Zhao Qingru's previous life. The price of this inflated price is obviously far greater than the value of the copper head itself.
The blame is only on the initiative in the seller's market.
Fortunately, in the past ten years, Huaxia has still twisted into a rope. The Chinese Han people are a very wise nation, but it is a pity that when there are many smart people, no one will obey anyone, and the internal struggle is too serious. Now that I am twisted into a rope, when I participate in the auction of those old objects overseas, I have a bit of a tacit understanding.
No longer pinching each other, even if they both fancy an old object, they will consider communicating privately afterwards. Naturally, it is not cheap for those crooked nuts that are not well-intentioned. Of course, this is not absolute. After at least a few tacit cooperation, it was not the expected idea of making a lot of money for those crooked nuts who wanted to slaughter a lot of money.
Now, it will be another opportunity to test the tacit understanding of all the trenches present.
"It seems that this time, this dog-headed ......"
"You want?" The one on the side didn't wait for his friend to finish speaking, he glanced lazily at it, and then interrupted directly.
"Hey, I want a dog's head to be hairy. See the woman over there?"
"You mean Pandora, that Zhao Qingru?"
"That little devil Inoue was afraid that he didn't expect the daughter of the Zhao family to appear at this auction. ”
The friend on the side had no intention of participating in the subsequent dog head auction, and when he heard the person next to him say this, he smiled even more clearly.
……
I really didn't expect it? I'm afraid that I won't be able to.
Hitoshi Inoue, who was sitting in the VIP seat and watching the auction through special glass, was smoking a cigar with a square mustache that was very characteristic of Hisaka.
"It's all arranged?"
"Yes, Father. "The answer to Inoue Ren is his eldest Inoue Sanosuke, who is only in his early twenties this year, although he looks similar to Inoue Ren by at most three or four points, but he has learned seven or eight points at a glance. Inoue Zuo Nosuke was very puzzled why his own Lao Tzu wanted to take the dog head and bronze head that he had finally obtained to Xiangjiang for auction.
Not to mention that it cost a lot of money when I got this thing in the first place, if I really plan to auction it for money, I can get it to the auction in Western Europe. Take 10,000 steps back, even if it really has to be on the side of Xiangjiang, it should not be auctioned at a charity auction. can't get the money, it's not that the head has let the door be clamped, not only the money but also the reputation.
Of course, as a son, a filial son, Inoue Sanosuke is still willing to believe that his own son is doing this, and there is a reason for him. It's a pity that Sanosuke Inoue, who couldn't figure it out, couldn't hold back in the end, and still asked.
"Zuonosuke, did you see the woman over there?" Inoue Ren was not angry, raised his right hand holding the cigar, and pointed to a certain position below.
Inoue Sanosuke looked in the direction of his Lao Tzu's finger, and unsurprisingly saw Zhao Qingru in a beautiful dress. Of course, Inoue Sanosuke was the first to see Ame with heavy makeup.
It is said that in this life, Amei's star journey has been smooth sailing, and the result of some people's support is not only popular across the Taiwan Strait, but even South Korea and Japan have also entered the country, and naturally they have won a lot of fans from South Korea and Japan.
Inoue Sanosuke can be said to have grown up listening to Ame's songs, and he is naturally very happy with Ame. At first glance, I found my idol.
"Ah......h
Because of the relationship between his back and the back, Inoue Ren did not find out that his family was wrong at the moment at the first time.
"That woman is the daughter of the Zhao family in inland Yanjing. This time, if you can take the opportunity to get in touch with that woman, what is the loss of a few million?"
Inoue Sanosuke instinctively frowned when he saw his own Lao Tzu say this. Not to mention, according to Inoue Sanosuke's knowledge, the Yanjing Zhao family, the old general who had braided his hair, followed the first generation of Chinese leaders to establish a new society, and the most important point was that he was a famous anti-Japanese old general.
Speaking of which, there is a deep enmity with them (the Yamato nation) and a sea of blood. Even if this old general is gone, as a descendant, there are not yet three generations, and he may forget the hatred of the clan. Inoue Zuonosuke only felt that his own Lao Tzu had been confused by those Chinese officials who nodded their heads and had no backbone, and of course there were also old people whose brains were a little rigid.
Just as Inoue and his son were talking, the host on the rostrum had already introduced all the relevant information about the dog's head. Even the auction began.
The auction scene was as Inoue had guessed in advance, the auctioneer announced the starting price of 1 million, and the scene was silent for the first minute, and no one answered. Until Zhou Xinren raised a sign. Then there was a brief silence.
Obviously, no matter who eventually photographs this dog head, which is preliminarily identified as genuine, it is possible that it will be donated to the Inland Yenching Museum like the two animal heads photographed by Sir Ma before.
Just when the auctioneer announced that "1.05 million for the third time" was about to fall under the hammer, someone directly increased the price to "2 million".
The price of 2 million can't be said how expensive it is, after all, the most expensive beast head in Zhao Qingru's last life is a fraction. It's just that this benevolent brother who raised the price didn't know where he got the news, and he even participated in the auction by phone. Not to mention whether this brother is qualified to participate in the auction, but with that curled tongue, it is obviously a crooked nut, which is enough to explain a lot of things.
Although Zhou Wentao had been mentally prepared for a long time, knowing that this dog head could not be photographed on behalf of the country so smoothly this time, he had a few questions that he never figured out. Even if this dog's head is auctioned for a sky-high price, for the owner, he will not get a penny. So what is the purpose of the owner taking out the dog's head?
Zhou Wentao realized that the mobile phone he was carrying seemed to be ringing, so he quietly took it out and glanced at the text message.
The message was not sent by his daughter-in-law, but just a few words, signaling Zhou Wentao to do whatever it takes.
Million!
Two million and fifty thousand!
Two million six thousand!
……
Million!
Three million and fifty thousand!
……
In the blink of an eye, the price soared to six million, and of course this is not the final price. Compared with the unknown crooked kernel on the other end of the phone, adding at least 500,000 at a time, Zhou Wentao is obviously a lot stingy. It's 50,000 each time, and it is slowly consumed little by little.
Gradually, the big trenches at the scene who had not participated in the auction also began to raise their cards. Of course, there isn't much of a price increase each time. The whole thing, no matter how you look at it, is a little weird.
"Pandora, ...... you" On the side, Suzanne saw that Zhao Qingru had not moved from beginning to end, so she turned her head sideways and called.
Zhao Qingru replied softly: "I always feel that this thing is strange today." ”
Zhao Qingru's voice fell, and the lights at the auction site were all extinguished with a "snap". Several screams of surprise rang out at the scene, and the decibel almost punctured people's eardrums.
Okay, it actually tripped?!Was it an accident or did someone do it on purpose?!
After all, Zhao Qingru has no night vision, even if he had the idea of secretly rubbing the dog's head, at this time, because the distance is a little farther, he can't take things from the air. What's more, even at hand, Zhao Qingru didn't plan to do it. The red dots around them represent hidden cameras, and they are still infrared.
The auditorium, where the auction was held, was soon brightened again. The dog's head, which was placed on the display case in the center of the rostrum, waited until the lights came on again, and sure enough, it was gone.
It's funny, isn't it? When the security is still tight, the lights go out, and after only three minutes of darkness, the bronze head of the dog is gone. Shengsheng pushed the Love Charity Association, all the successful people present and the prestigious X Hotel to the forefront.
The incident of losing the bronze head directly became the first serious case ordered to be solved within a time limit, and the chief executive of Xiangjiang on the Xiangjiang side personally ordered that the group of serious cases that had repeatedly solved serious cases be held responsible. It's a pity that Rao combed back and forth three times like a grate, but still couldn't catch the clues.
This time, all of the people involved are the most successful people in Xiangjiang and the big moats. Not to mention a mere dog-headed bronze beast, even if there are a few more, it's not that you can't afford it. Under normal circumstances, this should not have happened at all, and it was something that had never happened before. The most troublesome thing is the owner of the dog's head, which happens to be a little devil from the sunrise.
"Pandora, did you find something?" After Tang Tang finished recording the transcript and saw Zhao Qingru, somehow, he came out of nowhere for such a year.
"It's a bit of an inspiration, but I'm not sure for a while. Zhao Qingru smiled lightly and apologized, "Originally, I just wanted to be idle...... Now it seems that the three of you, brother, Tang Tang, and Ah Mei, are involved. ”
"What kind of involvement is this, when the lights go out, a few of us sit in our seats separately. There was a faint tiredness on Amei's face.
As for whether it is involved or not, this time there is a lot of trouble, and the stars who can get on this hot spot seem to be just her and her "brother", and I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky. However, in the entertainment industry, there are many rights and wrongs, and there are many envy, jealousy and hatred. As a big star who is popular all over the Taiwan Strait and three places, some sour words can't be forced.
"It just so happens that I am going back to Yanjing for a re-examination, and it is time for 'brother' to join the group to film, even if those gossip reporters want to find it, they can't find me and 'brother'. ”
"Yes, Pandora. You don't have to worry about me and Ame. "After all, they have been friends for many years, and even if they can't see some things once or twice, there are too many times, and no matter how stupid people are, they should notice it. What's more, "brother" and Amei are neither blind nor stupid.
"So, Pandora, be careful. When Tang Tang was separating from Zhao Qingru, he gave an extra sentence of unease.
"Hmm. But for now, I shouldn't be fine. The other party spent all this effort, thinking that he wanted something. After Zhao Qingru saw his three friends leave, he restrained the smile on his face, turned his head sideways to look at the few people standing behind him, and said, "Did you find anything?"
"Sister Zhao, you are so powerful, how did you find out?" The newcomer who was dispatched to Zhao Qingru's side and didn't care too much looked at Zhao Qingru's eyes shining, and his tone of voice was even more pale.
"It's because the two staff members who put it on the display case in full view of everyone died afterwards. Xiao Yu said unhurriedly.
projection, but also with a fake 3D projection technology, Zhao Qingru did not expect that this technology with low technology content would appear abroad at this time. Perhaps, Zhao Qingru didn't have time to think about this at first. But after the accident of the two staff members, before the Xiangjiang police Shu Huang received the alarm, they died in the small room next to the auditorium where the auction was located.
After all, the dead keep secrets better than the living.
Of course, with the development of technology, dead people can also "speak" to speak. But now, it was clear that someone didn't want people to know something, so the two staff members were settled in advance.
So, Zhao Qingru, who had nothing to do, boldly guessed whether it would be from the beginning, the dog's head and bronze head were not placed on the exhibition cabinet at all, but it was just a fake projection or something. After the lights went out, the natural image was also lost due to the power outage. And afterwards, as long as you secretly take away the projection equipment, you will not know it.
Of course, in order to make this assumption happen, some cooperation is needed. But in any case, this matter has revealed obvious flaws because of the death of the two staff members who were killed in advance. Moreover, Zhao Qingru still couldn't figure it out, what was the purpose of the person behind this matter?
And the little devil who was called Inoue when he went out on the day was also very strange after the accident. Little devil or something, after all, I didn't have any good intentions.
Maybe...... This matter has nothing to do with the owner, and it is impossible to say if there is a third party who causes trouble.
Who knows.
"Ru'er. After Zhao Qingru finished recording the transcript, he did not deliberately wait for his nerd, but took the car back to the ancestral house of the Zhou family according to the previous agreement.
After Zhou Wentao and Zhou Xinren came out of the police station, they naturally chose to go home as soon as possible. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his daughter-in-law who was sitting on the sofa, and Zhou Wentao greeted him as soon as possible.
"Okay, idiot. slipped out of the research institute without saying a word, and secretly ran to Xiangjiang in a different face. Is this going to hunt wild food and steal food, or are you going to find a concubine?" Zhao Qingru glanced at Zhou Wentao angrily.
"What am I stealing, you and I are willing to ......" Zhou Wentao obviously realized something, and hurriedly changed his words, "I mean, I finally managed to squeeze out some time to prepare for annual leave, and I got an instruction to let me cooperate with you ......"
"Wait!" Zhao Qingru didn't wait for Zhou Wentao to finish speaking, and directly interrupted his man to continue, "You came over a few days in advance?"
It's no wonder that Zhao Qingru's face is a little wrong. Not to mention that her nerd Zhou Wentao is just a scientific researcher, even if he helped Lao Maozi in the north a few years ago, he has not systematically carried out relevant special training. And Zhao Qingru went south to Xiangjiang this time, but he was just idle and had a whim.
The most important point is that it wasn't until people arrived at the auction site that they heard from Chen Luoyi that at this love auction, it was possible to auction the bronze beast heads of the zodiac. It is possible, not absolute.
However, Zhou Wentao was allowed to Xiangjiang a few days ago, and he asked the non-professional Zhou Wentao to cooperate with Zhao Qingru.
All...... It's the rhythm of someone doing things behind the scenes.
"Idiot, how is the progress of the scientific research you have presided over in the research institute recently?" Zhao Qingru thought of "turning the tiger away from the mountain".
And Zhou Wentao is not a fool compared to his daughter-in-law, whose hands-on ability is stronger than her brain. So when I heard Zhao Qingru ask like this, I understood almost instantly, and said with a smile: "It's okay." This is inseparable from Ruer's financial support at any cost. ”
"Don't worry, before coming here this time, my eldest brother and I have already met each other, and my eldest brother also suspects that there are foreign hostile forces who want to take this opportunity to steal the latest scientific research results. So it was Zhou Jianren who appeared, a distant cousin of the Zhou family in Canada. Your husband Zhou Wentao is still immersed in his experiments in the research institute at this time. Zhou Wentao winked at his daughter-in-law, his clear ice-blue eyes with an obvious smile.
"......" The corners of Zhao Qingru's mouth twitched slightly, this kind of identity disguise is not impossible, but there is an obvious loophole in time.
There is a so-called command on the front foot, let Zhou Wentao run, and a distant cousin appeared out of thin air on the back foot, which is too subtle and coincidental. Although, the Zhou family does have a distant cousin named Zhou Jianren, and he is also a mixed-race child, far away in Canada. The problem, it seems that I haven't been in touch for many years, it is said that it is because of the previous generation, Zhou Jianren's father insisted on marrying a foreign girl and broke off his relationship with Sir Zhou.
"Pandora, now ...... Still?" returned to the Zhou family's ancestral house and sent all the servants away, and Zhou Xinren, who didn't say anything more, saw Zhao Qingru's brows frowning slightly, so he spoke. It's also thanks to his wife who returned to her parents' house with a few children, and she is not in Xiangjiang at this time, otherwise there will be more people to worry about.
"Nature responds to change with the unchanging. Zhao Qingru thought for a while and said, "I guess...... As soon as dawn, someone should deliver the post to your door. Among them should be the owner. ”
"In that case, let's wait and see what happens. Zhou Xinren stood up from the sofa, "Pandora, I've already made the room ready, it's still the same one." ”
Originally, Zhao Qingru, who wanted to say that there was no need to be so troublesome, and that she could share a room with her nerd, glanced at Zhou Xinren, then yawned and walked slowly upstairs.
How could Zhou Wentao not understand Zhou Xinren's idea Sima Zhao's heart.
The room or something, not to mention that there is a lot of space in the ancestral house of the Zhou family, the main reason is that Zhou Wentao's identity at this time is a distant cousin of the Zhou family, not Zhao Qingru's man. Although he is not afraid of revealing his stuffing, it is better to have more than one thing before the other party's intentions are named.
But it is undeniable that Zhou Xinren did not have a good heart from the beginning.
This time, Zhao Qingru still miscalculated something. Perhaps there is still a lot of trouble here, and the chief executive of Xiangjiang personally ordered the investigation of the case within a time limit, so that all parties were settled. For several days, he never sent the post to the door as Zhao Qingru guessed.
Is it really wrong?
Zhao Qingru pursed her lips and glanced at Xiao Yu.
"Spread the word that I'm going back!"
"Yes!"
