Chapter 428: The Sky-High Golden Scepter

readx;

The Italian city of Milan is an absolute mecca for fashionistas and football lovers, especially in the world of football, the Milan duo is almost everyone knows it, and almost all the newspapers around the world have reported on these two teams. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Li Mobai is not a die-hard fan, he likes whoever has good grades, and he does not have the slightest sense that the fans of Milan are mortal enemies, even if he is always 'scolded' by the hardcore fans around him when he is studying in the UK, he has not changed this 'snobbish' habit at all, but there is no way to watch the football game in Milan City during this time period - the season is over, and the new season has not yet begun.

In recent years, Li Mobai also thought about buying a Chinese Super League team in the name of Huaxing Automobile to play, but in the end he gave up, the water is too deep, even if 'Xie Nanyang' has been subdued, the football environment has not changed, the water is still so deep, so Li Mobai let Huaxing Automobile go to play racing alone, racing this thing completely relies on technology and tactics, now Huaxing Automobile not only has an F1 team, but also a rally and RV racing team, the results are quite good, for the Chinese brand is every footprint of progress is a 'record'.

What collapsed the management team of Huaxing Automobile was that Li Mobai was not a car fan at all, and almost never went to the game site, and many times promised to watch the scene, but Li Mobai only remembered it when the game began, so that he didn't bother to invite Li Mobai, the big boss, to watch the game.

The private jet quietly landed at Milan Airport, without alarming the media at all, although Li Mobai is now in Europe, but it is very low-key and very leisurely, reporters can't find news points, so naturally they don't report anymore; Although foreign fans are very familiar with Li Mobai's photos, they are very unfamiliar with real people, and foreigners look at Chinese and Chinese look at foreigners with the same feeling - how to look at it is the same, so Li Mobai will not be surrounded by fans even if he walks on the street.

"Big bad guy, the recent news report that an estimated 40 billion euros worth of Hitler's treasure in Austria has been stolen, did you do it?" When he arrived in Milan, Jiang Suhan saw the relevant reports, and suddenly asked about Li Mobai.

"Daughter-in-law, this is your mistake, what kind of person is your husband and I, how can I look at the people's fat and ointment that Hitler looted." Li Mobai said with a righteous face, paused and said exaggeratedly, "What did you say?" A treasure of 40 billion euros? How many tons of gold must there be! ā€

"It's fat, and it's pretending to be like it!" At this time, the three little guys were already asleep, and Jiang Suhan turned over and rode on Li Mobai's lower abdomen, "Then tell me where the big egg you gave me came from?" ā€

"Of course I bought it!" Li Mobai was not polite, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he held the two jumping rabbits on Jiang Suhan's chest, but his mouth did not admit the good things he had done.

For a while, the room was full of spring.

…………

The next day, Li Mobai went to the auction site under the leadership of Shan Ying, which was a high-end private club, and only those with an auction invitation could enter, and no one wanted to publicize this kind of thing.

Li Mobai arrived at the right time, and after waiting for a few minutes, the auction began, such an auction is where everyone is wearing masks, and no one can find out the true identity of others, the scene looks quite like a masquerade, Li Mobai chose a demon's mask, but he was funny in his heart, this is completely covering his ears and stealing the bell.

There were about fifty or sixty people participating in the auction on the spot, but this hall was very spacious, and it seemed that there were few people, and it looked sparse, but in fact, these people were all rich masters, and all of them were worth hundreds of millions.

Seeing that Li Mobai and the two are Orientals, there are foreign devils who laugh at the nouveau riche of the East in their hearts, but the auction here is not a public auction, the price is too high, and more than 100 million euros is just a piece of cake.

Li Mobai naturally doesn't know what foreign devils think, and he won't care if he knows, not to mention that Li Mobai also despises foreign devils in his heart, these foreign devils are actually big heads, they don't understand at all, they don't understand many good things at all, but this time it's going to cheapen me again.

The auction was really good, although there was no preview, but each lot was allowed to come forward to look at it, but the total time was not more than half an hour, which was quite tense, and the organizer launched four lots at a time.

But for Li Mobai, it is enough, Li Mobai's eyesight now almost does not have to be too difficult, he can see seven, seven, eight or eight, and there are really not many fakes that can escape Li Mobai's eyes.

"Everyone, the auction starts now, and now you can come forward and observe according to your preferences." The man who acted as the auctioneer waited until the staff pushed the four lots up, and then said to the scattered crowd in front of him.

These people are all sitting casually, very scattered, and they are all billionaires under the mask, and the auctioneer does not dare to put up a shelf to get these people together, and there is no need, this is not an official auction, and it is only right to sell things.

Li Mobai looked at it from a distance and found that these four lots were all from Tibetan Province, and he couldn't help but be a little angry at the domestic tomb robbers, this must be a joint crime between the locals and the tomb robbers, Tibetan Province is vast and sparsely populated, and it is really very easy to commit a crime, and it can almost be excavated boldly, even then it is not easy to be discovered.

Thinking of this, Li Mobai had a plan to explore Tibetan Province, rather than let those garbage be sold abroad, it is better to collect it himself, at least stay in China, although the culture of Tibetan Province is somewhat similar to India, but it is to create its own unique culture, which has a lot of exquisite artworks.

Li Mobai's mind flashed, but his feet did not stop, and he took the lead in front of these lots to check, two of the four lots came from Tibetan Province, one was a golden scepter, which was carved with various figures, the most amazing thing was the top of the scepter, inlaid with a fiery red gem, the size of a quail egg; One is a statue of the goddess of the Tibetan secret, the statue of the Seven Mothers and Heavenly Maidens, sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, the left hand is a fist, the thumb is erected, and the hammer mark is made, the height is 56 centimeters, the weight is 28 kilograms, and the forehead is inlaid with a ruby, and it is surprising that there is no crack found on it.

These two things are very good, they are genuine, Li Mobai thought about it and decided to take these two things, these things should not be left behind. I turned around and went to see two other things, these two things came from African and Arab antiques respectively, both of which had a strong religious connotation, and they were obviously very good things, but Li Mobai was not very interested.

After looking at the four lots, Li Mobai turned around and returned to his seat, it took less than 10 minutes before and after, but he didn't attract attention, and those who had the heart to make a move were paying attention to those who had been watching for a long time, not a young man like Li Mobai.

The lot number that Shanying received for Li Mobai was very auspicious, the pleasing No. 18, but Li Mobai didn't care about this, returned to his seat and continued to shake the red wine in the glass, looking quite elegant.

Half an hour later, the host began to announce the start of the auction, and the first lot was the scepter from Tibetan Province, which was not solid, but hollow, and if it was solid, no powerful person could show off his power in his hand - too heavy. However, the carving on this scepter is very exquisite, it can almost be described as ingenious, the characters are realistic, and there are very many of them, obviously recording some kind of sacrificial ritual, Li Mobai is not very clear.

"15 million!" The starting price was 10 million euros, and it was quickly pushed to 15 million, which has to be said to be very exaggerated, 15 million US dollars can buy half a ton of 500 kilograms of gold.

The person who made the bid was not Li Mobai, Li Mobai has not bid yet, he is just quietly watching, 15 million euros is just an appetizer, the bigwigs have not made a move yet, Li Mobai is not in a hurry at all, just wait.

In fact, as expected, the price has soared very quickly, all the way up has exceeded 50 million euros, for the rich, this is just a big toy to buy back, after all, this used to be a symbol of power, supreme power is always the pursuit of a successful man, who doesn't like a word to control the fate of thousands of people?

Although Li Mobai doesn't love power, he is a little angry, he just can't see the treasures of his country falling into the hands of foreign devils, but he never thought that most of the treasures in his hands are foreign devils.

When the bid reached 50 million euros, the opponent was already only 2 people, and the price increase was not large.

"55 million!" One of them suddenly increased the price, suddenly increased by 3 million, causing the audience to be scratched, 3 million euros is not a small amount, even in developed countries in Europe and the United States, millionaires are still very people's goals, not at all like domestic millionaires in second-tier cities are difficult to buy a house of more than 100 square meters, the same millionaire between the gold content is too great.

Li Mobai glanced at the person who soared the price, and said in his heart that this price of this person may be the last line of defense, but there is still no bid, in fact, Li Mobai feels that it is a little worthless, this scepter is about seventy centimeters long and weighs about 6 kilograms, it is really not worth spending 600 million yuan to buy.

Although Li Mobai did not want to give up this opportunity to stir up the situation, but thought that the price of antiques in Tibetan Province would rise as a whole, which would lead to more rampant tomb robbing, Li Mobai still gave up the bid.

"56 million!" In the midst of the auctioneer's clamour, someone made another bid, adding 1 million euros, but it was not the competitor just now, but a wealthy Middle Eastern man who had never bid.

Hearing this bid, Li Mobai knew that this person was a senior buyer in the auction house, and the timing was very accurate, so that the other party couldn't feel the depth at all, and it was possible to win it at this price.

Seeing the momentum of this person's ambition, Li Mobai couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what is the reason why such a golden scepter can cause such a fierce competition, glancing at the mountain eagle beside him, the mountain eagle is also confused.

Seeing the appearance of the mountain eagle, Li Mobai knew that the mountain eagle had been busy digging for the treasures of the temple in India recently, and then he was dragged to Austria to dig for treasures during his vacation, and he didn't have much information in the circle, so it was not surprising.

"57 million!" The rich man who quoted 55 million is also a follow-up with a face that is determined to win.

Li Mobai felt that something was wrong, how could this scepter cause such a fierce battle? Wait, there was a quail egg-sized ruby at the top of that scepter, and the color of that ruby was very pure, and the color was very bright.

Pigeon's Blood Ruby! Could it be a pigeon's blood ruby? Li Mobai was shocked in his heart, if it was a pigeon's blood ruby, then this scepter was indeed higher than the gold of the scepter itself.

But that's not the point, just try the pigeon's blood ruby, it's not worth the price, who used this scepter? Li Mobai is not easy to judge at once, Li Mobai is not proficient in the history of Tibetan Province, but only knows a little bit about it, and it is not even as good as knowing more about India and Egypt.

"58 million!" Li Mobai suddenly joined the trouble, completely before he figured it out, making the situation even more chaotic, and he had a lot of time to think.

Suddenly a competitor appeared again, the auctioneer was surprised and immediately overjoyed, it is said that the owner of the 18th is a super-rich man, this time it will be lively, the excitement is overflowing, not at all like the auctioneer of a large auction agency is always a face, always a look of joy and sadness.

After Li Mobai made a bid, everyone turned their attention to Li Mobai, and for a while Li Mobai became the focus again, but fortunately, with a mask, he could only see that he was an Oriental.

"60 million!" The rich people in the Middle East have raised the price again and have raised the price to 60 million euros, which is already equivalent to 7 yuan, which is enough to buy 2 tons of gold and copy hundreds of the same scepter.

"62 million!" Obviously, the white man who was the first to raise the price was on it, hoping to defeat the competitor in one fell swoop, and the 2 million at this time was very lethal.

"68 million!" Seeing this, Li Mobai became even more puzzled, these people are by no means fighting for wealth, and there must be cats among them, so he did not hesitate to raise the price by a large margin.

Hearing this offer, everyone gasped, crazy, at this time, they can still increase the price by 6 million, and they are really wealthy, seeing Li Mobai's offer, the two competitors gave up, and they were extremely sorry in their hearts.

"Damn, I actually robbed it with Lao Tzu, since you want to rob it, then you can take it first, and I'll come back in the evening, but it won't cost a penny." The white man, who had always insisted on the offer, thought of it, and his eyes looked extremely gloomy.

Li Mobai successfully took down this scepter, and the transaction was made on the spot, Li Mobai did not leave after the money and goods were cleared, the goal of this trip was not this scepter, it was just a toy that was accidentally taken to satisfy curiosity.

The next statue of the goddess was also successfully won by Li Mobai, the price was not high, but it also cost 12 million euros.

Li Mobai didn't make a move on the other two things, they were taken by others, Li Mobai didn't have such a strong curiosity, and Li Mobai had no interest in African cultural relics and Arab religious relics.

The two things taken down are kept by Shanying, but there is no need to worry about safety here, and if the organizers have no background, they will not dare to invite rich collectors from all over the world to come.

When the fifteenth lot was auctioned, Li Mobai finally made a move, this is a golden book, not the kind of handicraft gold book sold in modern times, but the ancient kind of gold book really made of gold, the gold book is very exquisitely made, there are a total of eighteen pages, each page is carved text, but these words are very obscure.

But when Li Mobai saw this photo, he decided to take it down no matter what, because Li Mobai knew the text on it - the Chinese oracle bone inscription, not only that, but the cover of this golden book also has the image of a blue bird, which is also the reason why Li Mobai was surprised at that time, the blue bird is the symbol of the golden family, and the text on the photo also happens to record the deeds of the golden family.

Therefore, Li Mobai is really interested in this golden book, and several other things in Li Mobai's opinion are completely to satisfy the psychology of picking up leaks, but he didn't expect that the first two things were to make him bleed.

The auctioneer announced the starting price of 5 million euros, and Li Mobai soared the price to 12 million, this golden book is too attractive to Li Mobai, and the drawings about the golden family have not been found out until now, Li Mobai doesn't want to miss it, and this golden book is only one page of text, so that Li Mobai can learn more about the secrets of the golden family, how can Li Mobai give up.

"The nouveau riche from the East really don't treat money as money, they are all crazy." Someone cursed secretly in his heart, but this sentence represents the voice of most people.

Li Mobai's unrivaled momentum calmed everyone down at once, originally the golden book was not a rare thing in the eyes of European and American collectors, but no one fought with Li Mobai anymore, so Li Mobai won his target at a price of 12 million euros.

After winning this book, Li Mobai was a little distracted by the possible leak detection in the future, lost interest, and now his mind is full of the secrets of the Golden Family, but the current occasion is not suitable for watching and studying.

However, it is cheap and not to take advantage of it, Li Mobai next won a pair of anonymous Tang Dynasty calligraphy books that were mistaken for the works of Qing Dynasty calligraphers and painters and a begonia style brush wash that was mistaken for the Qing Dynasty Ru kiln at a very low price.

These two things are a big leak, the identification of calligraphy, painting and ancient porcelain is for Li Mobai, as long as he looks at the photos, he can see a rough idea, after seeing the real thing, Li Mobai confirmed his judgment at a glance.

After returning to the hotel after the auction, Li Mobai did not rush to study the golden book, but first took out this scepter and studied it carefully, this thing cost a lot of money to take, it is by no means as ordinary as it seems, there must be some kind of rumor.

After taking it in his hand and studying it carefully, Li Mobai didn't find it, so he was a little disappointed in his heart, thinking that this scepter was hollow, Li Mobai looked at the hole with a strong flashlight, wanting to see if there was a secret in the hole.

"Big bad, you see there's a picture on this gem." Seeing Li Mobai tossing this scepter, Jiang Suhan began to toss together with great interest, but he didn't find anything, so he was discouraged, and saw Li Mobai tossing again with a strong flashlight, and was about to laugh at it, but he unexpectedly found the image on the gem.

Li Mobai was also surprised when he heard this, and immediately looked at the gem at the top of the scepter, and sure enough, he found that there was a faint image on it, and he was also shocked in his heart, this scepter really had a secret, but fortunately he took it instead of giving it up.

"It's like a temple." Li Mobai looked at this image and said.

"The memory of the ancients is really brilliant, how did they come up with it? What does this image mean? Jiang Suhan asked like a cannon.

"You think your husband is a prophet, even if I do, I can't know everything." Li Mobai smiled, "Take me to unload this gem and you should be able to find out what it means." ā€

As he spoke, Li Mobai was ready to remove the gem from the scepter, but no matter how Li Mobai tossed, he couldn't find a way to remove the gem.

"It turns out that my husband, who is omnipotent in my eyes, actually has times when he is stumped!" Jiang Suhan looked at Li Mobai, who was a little crazy, and said a little narrowly.

"Hmph, wait until I go back and find a hacksaw, sawn it for him, and I'll know everything." Li Mobai pretended to be indignant and said.

"Okay, okay, and then find a goldsmith to melt these yellow gold, and you can make a lot of gold rings." Jiang Suhan said quite approvingly when he heard this, his expression looked full of yearning, "Well, the rest can be made into gold bars as heirlooms." ā€

Li Mobai was also amused by Jiang Suhan when he heard this, so he said, "You fool, this scepter was bought back for 700 million yuan, and you actually thought about melting it to make a ring." ā€

"Wow, big villain, you're so rich, but you've never bought me a gold ring." Jiang Suhan continued to sell cuteness, not realizing that she was no longer a little girl, as if she didn't know that the white jade and jade jewelry she was wearing were priceless.

Li Mobai was completely speechless, where is this, but in addition to giving Jiang Suhan a top-level jade ornament on duty, he really didn't buy gold ornaments for Jiang Suhan, so he smiled evilly, "As long as you behave better, I will buy you a thumb-thick gold chain tomorrow." ā€

The two of them were joking with themselves, Li Mobai's phone rang, picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was a call from the tiger, "Tiger, come to me directly if you have something, it's not inconvenient, it's still early." ā€

Jiang Suhan suddenly glanced at Li Mobai when he heard this, this guy is really a bastard, this is really rude, he doesn't look like a cultural person at all, and he is a first-class hooligan.

"Bai Shao, there was a little bit in the back just now, I didn't tell you, I have already taken down the idea at this time, and the idea says that there may be a shocking secret in the scepter you photographed." The tiger whispered, unable to tell where he was.
