Chapter 9 Auction (Ask for Recommendations!!) Ask for collection)
Lithuania is located on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, bordered by Latvia to the north, Belarus to the southeast, and the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia and Vilnius, the capital of Poland, to the southwest.
The country of beautiful women, in this country, you can see beautiful women walking past you everywhere when you walk on the street.
The country is also a country rich in beautiful women.
The reason for this is that Li Xuan believes that this region has been occupied by many countries in history, and the people here have neutralized the genes of many ethnic groups, so it has become a country rich in beautiful women.
Li Xuan didn't come to Lithuania today to hunt for beauty, nor for tourism.
Of course, it's similar to travel, after all, it's all about spending money.
Today, Li Xuan took Liu Qiang to Lithuania to participate in an auction, or an underground auction. This is the content of the invitation that Li Xuan received.
Li Xuan took Liu Qiang to the gate of a classical castle according to the address on the invitation, and handed the invitation card in his hand to the guard.
Today, Li Xuan and Liu Qiang are dressed very formally, and Li Xuan specially picked out two suits for Liu Qiang and himself in Fan Zhesi, so that Li Xuan can look more mature.
Moved the collar of the shirt with his fingers, and unbuttoned the first button of the shirt uncomfortably, Li Xuan felt that his neck was free and his own, so he felt better.
To be honest, Li Xuan has never worn it so formally since he was a child, even before he was reborn, and Li Xuan didn't have a chance to wear it.
With Li Xuan's working environment, it is impossible for you to keep yourself clean all day, and you want to wear a suit unless you are married.
However, Li Xuan, who is a silk one, can only think about it, because if Li Xuan wants to get married, he must first find a girlfriend.
Li Xuan, who was wearing a mask, looked at the auction items placed in the exhibition hall for the auction participants to see.
When they came in again, Li Xuan and the others received a pair of masks, which were to protect the privacy of the people who came to participate in the auction.
Looking at these exhibits from medieval shackles, to stone monuments, and Renaissance paintings, there is even a mess of everything.
Don't ask me how I know, there's an introduction to each exhibit.
At the venue, there were people wearing masks and well-dressed people visiting the auction items, suits and evening dresses, and waiters walking back and forth holding trays of wine glasses.
It's really not a good match with these auction items.
I knew about the auction, but I didn't think I was here for the mask ball.
Li Xuan took two glasses of wine from the waiter who passed by and handed one to Liu Qiang, who was following closely by his side.
"Xuan Shao, I don't drink, it's too complicated here, it's better for me to stay awake."
Watching people come and go, although Liu Qiang knew that these were rich people, he couldn't help but be nervous. Who would have thought that a teenager with millions of cash a month ago was already surprising.
A month later, this teenager turned into a billionaire with more than a billion cash, or euros, and more than 10 billion in cash when converted into Chinese dollars.
This has to make Liu Qiang nervous, and now Liu Qiang looks at anyone like a person who wants to threaten the life of his little boss, so Liu Qiang knows that he must always stay sober.
Protect Li Xuan's safety at all times until he returns home.
"Okay, don't be so nervous, pretend, don't you have to drink it, don't you see that everyone present is holding a glass?" Li Xuan, who stuffed the wine glass to Liu Qiang, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and walked towards a place.
handed the wine glass to Liu Qiang, who came over.
Li Xuan put his hands on the glass cover and bent over to carefully look at the auction items in front of him.
"It seems that it will cost a lot of money today, and it is not easy to make some money."
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's auction is about to begin, please come into your seats or rooms."
It's not bad that Li Xuan has his own independent room, and you can clearly see the rostrum of the auction from the room. In addition, there is a CCTV on the wall of the room to watch each lot in action.
Since the auction, Li Xuan has also made a move, but he didn't spend too much money, he just bought the painting he liked when he saw it, and he didn't spend too much money in total.
Because Li Xuan had been waiting for what he wanted to appear, he casually fiddled with the roster in his hand, turning the page from time to time.
It wasn't until Li Xuan saw the two pictures displayed by the chairman of the auction that Li Xuan stopped what he was doing and stared at the pictures from the CCTV in the room.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next lot will be two antiques from the mysterious Huaguo, these two antiques are from the Old Summer Palace, which has the title of the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens in Huaguo, and has always been used as a time forecast in the Old Summer Palace."
"These are the heads of two animals, and it is said that these two animals also represent two aspects in the lives of Chinese people, and one of the heads is also a spiritual symbol of Huaguo."
"Next, the copper prime minister from the ancient country of the mysterious civilization Huaguo, the dragon head and the snake head, will be auctioned together, and the reserve price is five million euros."
"Bidding is now open!"
Li Xuan listened to the passionate explanation of the auctioneer on the rostrum, as if he wanted to provoke the emotions of the participants present to bid, although this was the professional demand of the auctioneer.
But these two bronze heads were what Li Xuan wanted to buy, which made it clear that he wanted Li Xuan to spend more money.
Li Xuan now wants to kill this auctioneer's impulse, but there is no way who will let someone else rob it, and people can do whatever they want.
It's a matter of strength.
Li Xuan didn't know how these two bronze heads would appear at this auction venue, but no matter what the reason, since Li Xuan saw it, it was necessary for him to take it back as a Chinese.
Although he used the money to get it back, this method made Li Xuan feel aggrieved.
In Li Xuan's mind, how should such cultural relics be obtained, and then used the same method to get them back, so as to be worthy of the identity of these national treasures.
With money, Li Xuan felt that he had insulted the identity of a national treasure.
But now there is no way, Li Xuan can only buy it with money. Because Li Xuan knew that these two bronze heads had never appeared in later generations.
Li Xuan didn't want to miss this opportunity, Li Xuan had a delusion when he saw these two bronze heads, this would not be a pit dug by the auctioneer for himself.
Besides, this is also a good opportunity to make friends with the domestic high-level, Li Xuan is worried that he has no opportunity to contact the high-level of Huaguo, and this time he happens to have a gift for the high-level of Huaguo.
"Five and a half million, is there still five and a half million?"
"Six million!"
Li Xuan looked at the scene of the live auction and knew that it was time for him to make a move, and if he added it to such a million, he would dare to make a sky-high price.
Because Li Xuan knew that not long ago, there were two bronze heads auctioned.
One was a bronze sheep head auctioned at Christie's, which was auctioned by Taiwanese entrepreneur Tsai Chennan.
The other is a bronze tiger head auctioned at Sotheby's, which was also auctioned by Taiwanese entrepreneur Cai Chennan.
Through the copper sheep head and the copper tiger head foreigners, Huaguo cares about these zodiac beast heads, which also opens the transaction record of every copper beast head.
This is also why these foreigners present are interested in a bronze head of China. Everyone present was rich and well-informed.
It is also to the value of these copper heads, because it is profitable.
"Ten million." Li Xuan entered the bidding price from the bidder.
The auctioneer on the rostrum saw Li Xuan's bid and shouted excitedly.
"Ten million, ten million, there is a gentleman who asks for 10 million, is there anyone who will increase the price."
Seeing that the scene was deserted because of the price of 10 million, the auctioneer hurriedly added a fire.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a bronze head from China, and everyone knows that not long ago, Sotheby's and Christie's auctioned the same copper head, and the price doubled after only a month's difference between the two copper heads."
"It can be seen how important this bronze head from Huaguo is to Huaguo and the Chinese people, as far as I know, the dragon has a special meaning in Huaguo, and the Chinese people will compare themselves to the descendants of the dragon, and its price is definitely higher than the price of the two auctioned copper heads."
After the auctioneer finished speaking, he looked at the scene, looked around excitedly, and looked around with his eyes on the bidders.
Perhaps bewitched by the auctioneer, the scene became lively again.
"Eleven million."
"Eleven million, eleven million, someone bid 11 million, and is there anything higher, this is an antique from China."
"Eleven and a half million."
"11.5 million, these two antiques from Huaguo, one of which represents the spiritual symbol of Huaguo, is it owned by this gentleman?"
"Twelve million."
"Twelve million, the descendants of the dragon, the true spirit of the Chinese people, is it going to be mastered by this gentleman?" ……
Every time the auctioneer on the rostrum bids, he must add some provocative language to arouse the bidding passion of the auctioneers present.
Li Xuan looked at the auctioneer who looked like a mad demon on the rostrum, and he had a feeling of wanting to crush it. This is obviously against Li Xuan.
"I'll go, do you want to do this, is this auctioneer crazy? I really want to beat him up right now, it's just against me, damn it."
"Xuan Shao, do you want me to go after the auction is over?"
Liu Qiang also observed the situation of the auctioneer, and Liu Qiang could see that Li Xuan really wanted to buy these two copper heads, although Liu Qiang didn't know what use these two copper heads were for Li Xuan.
These bronze heads are no different from ordinary antiques to Liu Qiang, and they are the same as the antiques lost in Huaguo, but now Liu Qiang knows that these two bronze heads are different.
Because his little boss wants to, although he can't help himself, he can find this auctioneer to vent his anger to Li Xuan, after all, it is much easier to do this than when the army goes abroad to perform tasks.
If Li Xuan knew what Liu Qiang, a part-time bodyguard, was thinking, Li Xuan would tell him the significance of these bronze heads to Huaguo in the future generations, and the sky-high price of the transaction.
"Forget it, it's not that I don't have money, anyway, I earned it from these foreigners." Li Xuan dispelled Liu Qiang's thoughts.
The auctioneer standing on the rostrum didn't know that he had invisibly escaped a disaster about his life, Li Xuan looked at the auctioneer and knew that he had to bid, otherwise he would miss it
