Chapter 1266: Botched Stone Sculpture

"No, it's absolutely not going to work."

A trace of panic appeared in Ma Jia's rare eyes, and he waved his hand and pushed the gold coin to Liu Yuhao's side, "Nephew, this is too valuable, we can't accept it." ”

Just now, because he wanted to attach importance to Liu Yuhao's identity, Ma Jia deliberately used the three words Mr. Liu to show respect, but classmate Liu had repeatedly called Ma Jia Uncle Shi, how could Ma Jia be hypocritical, so he changed the title back to his nephew.

But Ma Jia really didn't dare to accept that gold coin easily.

That gold coin is too valuable!

As long as you pay a little attention to the collector of investment, you know the gold coin, only to see that the front of the gold coin is a bust of a woman, to be honest, the image of the woman is not very cute, and it looks like a mouth full of bad teeth, the body is on the fat side, and the neck is full of fat.

But even such an unattractive gold coin made Ma Jia's pupils shrink suddenly, because the name of "Cleopatra" Cleopatra suddenly crossed his mind.

"This is the gold Cleopatra coin with the same name as the silver owl coin!"

As long as the ears were fine, the people present heard the words that Ma Jia spit out in a slightly trembling voice.

Suddenly, the crowd was like a scoop of cold water added to an oil pot, boiling again.

Cleopatra's gold coin, what a tempting word.

Not long ago, a company called Baolong Auction suddenly launched three sets of almost extinct gold and owl silver coins to the world, which immediately attracted the attention of countless collectors.

After a fierce first day of bidding, a mystery buyer sold two sets for 68 million euros, and the last set took the auction to unprecedented heights, with a single gold and silver coin set selling for a staggering 50 million euros.

Since then, Baolong Auction has risen and has the qualification to compete on the same stage with Christie's and other world-class auction companies.

Although Baolong Auction has repeatedly informed everyone after the auction that such a gold and silver coin set may be launched in the future, but in this case, who would believe it?

A set of rare gold and silver coins from 32 B.C., I dare not say that it is unique, but the number is also very rare, and you say that there will be one in the future. Trick the kids into playing!

Therefore, more people stubbornly believe that Baolong's propaganda is too much.

As a result, those who did not take the gold and silver coin sets regretted and beat their chests, and those who quietly patted the treasure disappeared from sight, so that the gold and owl coins of Cleopatra and the silver owl began to become completely popular, but all collectors with a little financial strength took it as their biggest dream at this stage.

is such an object that everyone dreams of, Liu Yuhao wants to donate it like a play, Ma Jia would be surprised if he was not taken aback.

Moreover, Ma Jia also has his own ideas, he wanted Liu Yuhao to admit his love, but he didn't expect people to send a bigger favor. How can Chairman Marta, who is accustomed to looking down on all beings, feel embarrassed?

I'm afraid, this time I have to take off any old face and put it in my pocket.

This young man is so spicy at the end of his means!

Just when everyone was shocked by Liu Yuhao's "big stroke", Old Man Chen smiled narrowly.

Because everyone was attracted more attention by the appearance of gold coins, and forgot to observe Liu Yuhao, but Old Man Chen is different, he "fell in love" with Liu Yuhao and wanted to regard Liu Yuhao as his successor, so more often the old man was always observing Liu Yuhao's behavior.

Coincidentally, a trace of cunning that quickly flashed in Liu Yuhao's eyes was clearly seen by Old Man Chen.

"This stinky boy, I'm afraid I'm not so kind."

Chen Hu thought so in his heart.

I have to admit that Old Man Chen's vision is vicious, Liu Yuhao came to the Lion City to invest and make money, he is not a philanthropist, and he will not throw money in vain to these people who have mostly forgotten their ancestors, today he took out that gold coin, and tomorrow he will earn it back a hundred times and a thousand times.

Not only do the superficial work enough, but also make no less money, and neither of the two can be missing. Dude is here to make money, not a stupid money-scattering boy, okay.

This is what Liu Yuhao really thinks in his heart at this time.

After a very sensible and hypocritical push, Ma Jia happily accepted Liu Yuhao's generous donation, and people's enthusiasm was invisibly pushed to the highest point at this moment.

The auction of Cleopatra's gold coins must be described as "extremely miserable". Even Liu Yuhao himself didn't expect that the gold coin would be auctioned by a man surnamed Qi at a sky-high price of $50 million.

"I'm going to go!"

Liu Yuhao was secretly taken aback in his heart, and said in his heart: "These guys who praise the stinky feet of the British make so much money, do you want to discuss with Etik, it is better to set up a branch in the Lion City." ”

According to the pre-determined auction rules, half of the auction proceeds will go to the original owner, while the other half will be donated to the Lion City Chinese Chamber of Commerce Charity Branch free of charge after paying the normal taxes and fees.

Therefore, Liu Yuhao had 25 million US dollars in income without much effort.

This result made Liu Yuhao smack in his heart, "These fools, if they knew that there were thousands of gold coins like this in the storehouse of their buddy's house, I don't know if they would stare out their eyes." ”

"Let's go back, old man, there's no point in staying here any longer."

Handing over the $25 million check to Fuji Yi, Liu Yuhao secretly cursed in his heart that there were too many stupid hats in Lion City, and he ran to Chen Hu and muttered quietly.

There's no way, the wool that hasn't been seen through with the ability is still at Old Man Chen's house, so it's not okay to go to Chen's house again.

Chen Hu smiled faintly and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

"It's nothing more than an auction, you can't see it at such an old age."

Liu Yuhao pursed his lips and muttered unhappily.

Chen Hu smiled and said, "Every time I auction something, I will wait for something to appear before leaving, and this time is no exception." ”

"What's that?"

Liu Yuhao was stunned, and suddenly felt a little strange, and couldn't help adding, "Every time?" Has that thing been auctioned many times? ”

"You can say the same thing."

Chen Hu thought about it and nodded with a smile.

Liu Yuhao was reluctant, and frowned: "Then what are you waiting for, can the objects that are sold in every auction be good things, it doesn't matter if you look at it or not." ”

"Gotta wait for it to appear."

Old Man Chen shook his head, replied very stubbornly, and retracted his gaze, swept Liu Yuhao's face, and explained: "What is about to be auctioned is an object donated by Lao Zhao back then, but every time it is auctioned off, at the next auction, that object will appear again, I want to know who will collect that object in the end." ”

"Uh, old man, what kind of object did Zhao Lao leave back then?"

Liu Yuhao scratched his head, but he already thought in his heart that the object must not have any collectible value, otherwise, how could it appear in the next auction after each auction.

You know, unless people who love collecting are really desperate, there are very few people who take out what they really like and put it up for auction.

Old Man Chen pouted, pointed at the auctioneer, and said, "Here it is, it's it." ”

The strong curiosity prompted Liu Yuhao to glance back, but in less than half a second, Liu Yuhao lost interest in taking a second look.

"Old man, you can tease me."

Liu Yuhao was really unhappy this time, what the auctioneer showed everyone was a photo, and the photo was originally modern, and it had nothing to do with antiques at all.

Old Man Chen remembered that he had forgotten to explain, so he smiled and waved his hand: "Because these people present with this object are very familiar with it, the auctioneer omits the process of introduction, where is the auction of the photo, what is really to be auctioned is the stone sculpture in the photo." ”

Could it be the work of a master carver?

Liu Yuhao frowned slightly, put a big question mark in his heart, and looked back at the auctioneer again.

The photo is projected on the screen, and it may be that most of the people present have seen the sculpture more than once, so the auctioneer's auction warm-up process has become a gap for everyone to communicate with each other.

It can be seen that the stone sculpture really can't attract people's desire to bid.

Liu Yuhao looked at the sculpture on the photo carefully several times, and finally shook his head with a wry smile, what kind of sculpture is it, in Liu Yuhao's eyes, both the knife work and the technique are very clumsy, at best, it is the level of the junior students of the sculpture department of the Academy of Fine Arts.

Such a sculpture was actually put up for auction, no wonder there would be a strange thing like what Mr. Chen said.

"Old man, Zhao, did Old Man Zhao tell you whose masterpiece this sculpture is?"

Liu Yuhao was a little puzzled.

It's not that he is gossiping, but Liu Yuhao thinks that since the old man Zhao has passed away, at least Zhao Yiliang should take this sculpture back, no matter what, the children of the Zhao family can't see their old man's objects being infinitely disgusted and turn a blind eye.

Old Man Chen hugged his hands to his chest, sighed slightly, and said: "I was also very strange when Brother Zhao took this out, but he didn't explain why, and when I wanted to ask, he said that neither I nor the four brothers of the Zhao family were allowed to take this sculpture home." ”

It can be seen that even today, Mr. Chen is still very curious about this sculpture, but Mr. Zhao had such a last wish before he died, so Mr. Chen has always kept his promise and did not take pictures of this sculpture, and it is impossible to talk about solving the mystery.

Liu Yuhao smiled and said, "Old man, I didn't expect you to be smart all your life, but you were confused for a while." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Chen Hu was stunned, slightly dissatisfied with Liu Yuhao.

Liu Yuhao didn't care so much, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm a good person to the end, I'll take this sculpture back today, anyway, you didn't break your promise to Old Man Zhao, and I just happened to satisfy my curiosity, killing two birds with one stone!" ”
