Chapter 973: Open Fight and Secret Battle
readx;?“ Ladies and gentlemen, in order to prove that everything I have described is true and credible, I will ask an authoritative expert in the industry to answer for you! ”
In the face of everyone's questions, as soon as the auctioneer's words fell, a figure walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info chasing the wilderness, you have to go.
The appraiser looked gray-haired, an old man in his seventies, but seemed to be quite prestigious, and with his arrival, most of the distinguished guests stopped questioning.
Li Chuan was also smiling, looking with interest at the world-famous appraiser invited by the organizers at the auction, and curious to see how he explained the origin of this ancient painting.
It is undeniable that Li Chuan himself also has a considerable curiosity in his heart, although he knows that this painting must have its true preciousness, but he also knows nothing about its origin.
In fact, let alone him, even Qi Hua, who came to Tianhai with a mission, couldn't say an accurate answer.
At this time, a VIP from the European auction area suddenly stood up and shouted: "It's Wilson!" It's Sweden's master appraiser, Wilson! Oh, my God! He's alive! ”
"I vaguely remember that he appraised a masterpiece called "Portrait of a Goddess" and it sold for $270 million! It's worth more than Van Gogh's paintings! The painting is still in the Queen's Treasure Gallery! ”
"Master Wilson, please argue for us!"
It seems that this old man named Wilson does have a high position in the hearts of the rich, and the old man only smiled slightly and nodded in the face of everyone's enthusiasm.
Then he stared solemnly at the desert scroll that had been hung up again, and he looked at it, but the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.
After a long time
Although the elder Wilson tried his best to hide the exclamation in his expression, he still exclaimed in an uncalming tone: "I have not seen it, I have never seen it in my life......"
The muttering in the mouth of the old Wilson gradually stopped, he looked up at the crowd, and said slowly in an old voice: "I am Wilson, I am from the Wilson family in Sweden, my father is an art conservator, I have been engaged in this business since I was 12 years old, and now it has been 70 years......
"Forty years ago, I remember what my father said to me when he was dying, that everyone has their own path in life. And I, my life's path is to seek out real works of art and to put them to the world. ”
"All my life, I have been searching for truth, for true art. A true work of art, like life, is an object with a soul, so it can make people marvel and live forever. And sometimes, there are some items, its value and meaning have gone beyond the scope of my cognition, and beyond the scope of people's cognition, because the picture is too shocking! ”
"This painting is indeed from tens of thousands of years ago, if not older! But...... 10,000 years ago, there were no fully evolved humans, and this painting is not a masterpiece that can be done artificially, so it is difficult for me to explain......"
"As we all know, our space is three-dimensional, and everything is three-dimensional. Mountains, forests, grasses, stones, birds, trees, fish, insects, tables, chairs, boards, stools, and even a grain of dust, a drop of water, and a cell are all three-dimensional. ”
"Three-dimensional space does not allow for non-three-dimensional matter, but this painting ...... It may not be three-dimensional matter. ”
As soon as Wilson's words fell, there was an uproar in the auction.
Although most of the guests at the auction were skeptical of Wilson's claims, no one could stop the charm of the painting.
Because the auctioneer has already hammered out a reserve price of $60 million.
The picture scroll unfolded again, and it once again attracted the attention of countless VIPs!
Whether it came from 10,000 years ago or 1,000 years ago, the rich merchants and tycoons went crazy when they saw the painting.
Li Chuan's eyes were closed and opened, the auction had just begun, it was too early to make a move, and he didn't have the money to bid at all, the reason was very simple, he didn't have that much money at all.
And Li Chuan also knew very well that for this lot, only the three families of Qi, Chu and Han and the few subordinates sent by the Blood Underworld were really qualified to compete.
As for how to get this painting, Li Chuan has long had his own plan, that is, whoever has a hard fist, the thing will belong to whomever it is.
According to the original words in the textbook when I was studying, these treasures were looted from China by the European powers many years ago, and now they have snatched it back, which can be regarded as returning to their original owners. Therefore, Li Chuan did not have the slightest conscience about the next robbery, but he didn't know which unfavorable ghost was going to hit his own muzzle.
Thinking of this, Li Chuan was also secretly a little lucky, although the ancient seven clans already knew the strangeness of the Loulan Ancient Scroll, but they still didn't pay enough attention to it, and just sent a few human-level disciples to bid for it, if the real master was present in person, it would undoubtedly be much more difficult to take away this painting, and he might not even have a chance to make a move.
Although Li Chuan has not raised his cards once so far, the black phoenix and Yinhu don't know what he thinks in his heart at all, and they don't dare to relax for a moment, staring at his movements intently.
……
Time flies, and the auction quickly enters a white-hot level, and the competition becomes extremely fierce.
"120 million!"
"150 million!"
"Two hundred million."
When the price was raised to 150 million, Qi Hua finally raised the sign in his hand for the first time and lightly quoted a number.
Li Chuan smiled bitterly, worthy of being an ancient family with deep pockets, he raised the price by 50 million at once without frowning, I am afraid that the entire market value of Nandu Huangpu Group will not reach 200 million.
"Three hundred million!"
Qi Hua's sign had just been put down, and an equally calm and young voice came from another area in the Asian region, and Li Chuan knew that it must be the disciples of the Chu and Han families who were raising the price.
Sure enough, after Qi Yan heard this voice, his face changed slightly, the person who made the bid was a member of the Chu family, but he immediately raised the sign in his hand again: "Four hundred million!" ”
Hiss......
Many people in the auction hall exclaimed together, such a price increase of hundreds of millions of dollars is rare in the history of Jiabid's auction, where are these strange teenagers sacred, and they actually have such a terrifying family background.
As for whether Qi Hua and they are shouting arbitrarily to disrupt the auction, this reason does not exist at all, the people who can receive the invitation letter are all rich or noble figures, and they must pay a sky-high deposit before entering the venue, just to prevent someone from maliciously raising the price and not being able to take out cash to pay, resulting in the result of the unsuccessful auction of items.
"Five hundred million!"
Without the slightest pause, immediately another young voice sounded in the Asian region, this time it was the young man from the Han family who made the bid.
Li Chuan simply chose to close his eyes and recuperate, watching the ancient seven clans engage in infighting.
Anyway, no matter who takes the Loulan scrolls away in the end, it is unrealistic to want to take them away safely, just wait to fish in troubled waters.
", these two guys ......"
Qi Hua was a little annoyed and angry, and was about to raise the price again, when suddenly another thick middle-aged man's voice sounded in the European area: "Billion! ”
Billion!
The scene immediately boiled, and they all turned their eyes to the European man who quoted a sky-high price, but this person looked very unfamiliar and dressed very ordinary, most likely an agent, and the real behind-the-scenes boss did not show up.
