Chapter 674: It didn't take much effort to get it
Hearing Su Xinyuan ask about the source of the two purple pearls, Manager Liu quickly said: "These two pearls were indeed salvaged from a sunken ship just a month ago, and it is said that there are many other items that were salvaged together, all of which are gold, silver, jewelry, etc., but I don't know much about the company that salvaged the wreck, and all we know is the items on the wreck that they salvage." ”
Speaking of this, Manager Liu paused slightly, smiled awkwardly before continuing: "Oh yes, all kinds of treasures salvaged from this sunken ship are auctioned in batches, the auction where we auctioned these two purple pearls half a month ago is still the first one, and it will be these two days, the second auction should be about to start, I happen to have a promotional brochure of various treasures that will enter the auction process in the second auction, if Mr. Su is interested in these treasures and auctions, I'll show it to you right away. ”
Hearing his words, Su Xinyuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, what he originally hoped was to contact this shipwreck salvage company and communicate with the other party to see if there would be a treasure like phoenix eye or something suspected of being phoenix eye among the ocean shipwrecks they had salvaged over the years.
However, although Manager Liu does not know much about the shipwreck salvage company, with this brochure for the auction, maybe he can contact the auction company, and it is not known that they can also contact the shipwreck salvage company.
Thinking like this, Su Xinyuan immediately nodded, and Manager Liu did not delay, and immediately took him to the office with him.
After Su Xinyuan sat down, Manager Liu, who was smiling, first poured him a cup of hot tea, and then walked to the desk on the side, rummaged in it a few times, and then walked over with a material and sat down on the sofa opposite Su Xinyuan.
"Mr. Su, please take a look, here is the information of the lots that will enter the auction process in the second auction. If Mr. Su is interested in one of these items after seeing it, he will have to hurry up in terms of time, because it has been almost half a month since the first auction, and I estimate that it will be two days before the second auction will start. ”
After reminding him a few more words, Manager Liu directly handed the information in his hand to Su Xinyuan. After the latter took it, he immediately flipped through the pages with great interest.
The thickness of this information is not small, like a book of impurities, although the paper is the kind of color printing paper with a higher texture, but there are at least more than 30 pages, which shows that the lot that will enter the auction process in this second auction is indeed not a few.
The brochure is beautifully made, with several clear pictures of the lots on each page, large and small, and some text descriptions. All of them are jewelry, jade, bronzes, and the like, and these bronzes alone can prove that most of the items carried on this salvaged shipwreck were taken from the land of the East, after all, bronze is one of the most representative handicrafts of the Orient in ancient times.
Thinking of this, Su Xinyuan's heart suddenly moved, if this shipwreck really left from the land of the East back then, and then sank during the voyage, maybe the phoenix eye that Shen Lao greedy guy has been looking for is not impossible to be in this shipwreck.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Su Xinyuan's interest in this beautiful album in his hand suddenly became even stronger, and he even had some expectations in his heart, turning through the pages one by one, and reading each page quite carefully.
During this process, Manager Liu stayed by his side, but he did not interrupt Su Xinyuan's reading, but waited patiently while drinking tea.
After a while, when Su Xinyuan turned to the dozen or so pages, several high-definition images on this page of the album jumped into his eyes, which immediately made his heart skip a beat, and his eyes lit up instantly.
I remember that Shen Laozhi once said to him that the phoenix eye is rumored to be left by the Yellow Emperor when he became immortal, the whole body is like fire, and it is said that it is the essence of the phoenix gall, and it is a first-class extreme yang thing between heaven and earth.
Therefore, in Su Xinyuan's imagination, this so-called phoenix eye has always existed in his mind in the image of a fiery red bead similar to a bead body.
And at this moment, the image of the lot displayed on the page of the catalogue in front of me is one such thing.
There is only one image on this page, and because the size of this lot is already small, and it is almost a bead, it can be taken from one angle, so there is no need to take a few more pictures.
In addition, as for the literary introduction of this red bead lot, there are only a few words on this page of the catalogue, and there is no other detailed explanation, not only does it not have the provenance, but it does not even say whether it is jade or any other material, but only says that this small fiery red and almost spherical bead seems to have its own temperature regulation function, and the temperature that can be measured on its surface is always 81 degrees in any environment.
That is to say, whether it is placed in boiling water or in the refrigerator, the temperature of this bead is always kept constant at 81 degrees, and it is not affected by any external factors at all.
Based on this alone, this bead must be a treasure, so its auction price is not low, the reserve price is 10 million, and it is also a knife, in the total of dozens of lots in the entire album, even if it does not rank in the top ten, it is almost within the top 20 of the reserve price.
After carefully reading this short paragraph of introductory literature, Su Xinyuan's eyes finally fell on the sentence of the red bead "eighty-one" degree constant temperature, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, in the ancient mythology of the East, nine is the number of poles, and this eighty-one is exactly the number of ninety-nine, coupled with its fiery red bead shape, and the strange characteristics of maintaining a constant temperature forever, it is quite in line with the legendary phoenix eye "polar yang thing".
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately became excited, it was really hard to find nowhere to step on the iron shoes. This phoenix-eyed Shen Lao greedy guy has been looking for half a life, but there has never been a clue, I didn't expect that I inadvertently accompanied Mu Ningxue and Mu Xiaoyu to the shopping mall to buy something, but actually found its exact whereabouts.
If this bead is really a phoenix eye, not to mention its auction reserve price of only 10 million US dollars, even if this price is increased by a hundred times to one billion US dollars, it will definitely not represent its true value. Moreover, whether it is a billion dollars or ten billion, as long as it can be determined that it is the real phoenix eye, Su Xinyuan will definitely get it no matter what.
After all, in addition to the value of the treasure itself, it is also related to the net worth and lives of all the clansmen in the entire village of Shen Lao's hometown, human life is priceless, so many people need it to lift the curse, and it is worth paying more money.
Thinking of this, Su Xinyuan suddenly didn't have the heart to continue looking at the other lots behind, and all his thoughts were attracted by this fiery red bead that was suspected to be a phoenix eye.
After directly closing the album in his hand, he immediately looked up at Manager Liu, who was sitting on the opposite side of the sofa, and asked a little anxiously: "Manager Liu, is there a way to determine the specific time when this second auction will start?" Oh yes, and you know where the auction is taking place? If I want to participate in the auction in the past, are there any other requirements such as thresholds......"
Lian Zhucang generally asked several questions one after another, and directly asked Manager Liu on the other side of the sofa in a daze, Su Xinyuan then reacted that he seemed to be a little too excited, so he explained with an embarrassed smile: "I'm sorry, I'm a little anxious, but I like one of these lots, I like it very much, and I want to auction it for collection, so I'm worried that the time for the auction has passed, in this case, if the lot I fancy has been auctioned and taken away by others, it will be a pity......
"Mr. Su, don't worry, I'll help you ask right away, after all, we participated in the last auction, and the organizer's phone number is still available......"
After being stunned for a moment, Manager Liu quickly reacted, nodded at Su Xinyuan, and then directly took out his mobile phone and dialed it out.
It can be seen that the auction agency that organized this auction is obviously not an auction house in the East, because Manager Liu communicates with the other party directly in the British language, which is an international lingua franca, but Su Xinyuan can naturally understand it.
After a while, Manager Liu hung up the phone, first reported the phone number of the auction organizer to Su Xinyuan, and asked him to write it down, and then continued to explain: "I just asked, the address of this second round of auctions is in the Aegean Sea, after all, the people who go to participate in the auction are some of the world's top rich, so the organization can be said to have changed the way to choose the location of each round of auctions in this world-famous tourist destination, and everyone can not only auction their favorite treasures after they go, It is a very thoughtful idea to be able to take a trip by the way. ”
Speaking of this, Manager Liu smiled and continued: "As for the auction time, Su Xinyuan is lucky, just two days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, if you pass from our side, even if you take tomorrow's flight, you will have time to catch up, so Su Xinyuan doesn't have to worry about it......"
After speaking, Manager Liu remembered the last question asked by Su Xinyuan, and immediately smiled: "There is no other threshold for the auction of this institution, anyone can enter the venue, and there is no need to pay any deposit before the auction, because once someone bids successfully, he can't pay the auction price he finally shouted afterwards...... Hehe, it is said that the owner behind the auction house has a background in the underworld and has a very close relationship with the European mafia......"
