Five, seven, six, see the evil pearl again
"Guess how much this Dalí 'The Eternity of Memory' will fetch for you?"
Because of the previous brick throwing, a dagger used by western cowboys with no cultural relics was auctioned off by the John Rockefeller family for 1 million US dollars, then this oil painting of Dali must be of great value, so Li Kai asked this question.
"If you talk about value, this oil painting of Dalí should be worth 10 million! But considering that Yuzhu is in front of you, this is another charity auction reception, and this Dalí's "The Eternity of Memory" should reach a price of 100 million! Duan Ye slowly analyzed.
"It's going to be 100 million!" Li Kai was surprised.
"Dollars?"
"Dollars, of course! Do you not use US dollars in the United States, but also Zimbabwi dollars? ”
"One hundred million!"
Sure enough, this time it was Warren Buffett who opened his mouth and auctioned away Dali's "The Eternity of Memory" for 100 million.
No one made any more bids, which was a tribute to Buffett, and now there was only a round of applause.
Two consecutive auctions ended perfectly, and several more items were auctioned off, all of which were sold at high prices, and the guests of honor enjoyed themselves.
The object that came down to auction was a piece of porcelain.
When this piece of porcelain was put out, Duan Ye, Ye Zifeng, Li Kai and Zhang Jie all glanced at each other. Because a piece of porcelain is a Ming and Qing dynasty flower in China.
"How?" Li Kai asked Ye Zifeng.
"It's the real thing! It's not an official kiln, but it's also a fine product in a private kiln! Ye Zifeng nodded and said.
"What age!"
"It should be a fine folk kiln in the Chenghua period!"
From the Hongwu period to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the blue and white of the Ming Dynasty has undergone a lot of changes, each era is different, and it has its own characteristics! Like the Chenghua period of the folk kiln blue and white with equal green material, the green material color of the folk indigo for the keynote, elegant and beautiful, rarely dark gray black. The painting adopts the method of dyeing, commonly known as "water separation", which is not like the pure "outline and dot dyeing" of the early Ming and Qing flowers, nor is it the "single shallow flat painting" in the later period, which is the characteristic of blue and white in the Chenghua period.
This Ming blue and white porcelain is a plum vase, the shape of the vessel is complete, and the painting is very distinctive. On the whole, it is a piece of Chinese Ming blue and white porcelain that is not borrowed.
"How much is it worth?" Calendar is not forgetting valuation.
"In Huaxia, this kind of Ming blue and white is worth about 2 million! Remember, this is RMB! Ye Zifeng told them.
"You want to make a move?" Duan Ye's eyes were sharp, staring at Ye Zifeng.
"Huaxia's objects! It's also a good choice if you can return! Ye Zifeng was thoughtful.
"3 million!" At the end of Ye Zifeng's words, Li Kai raised his right hand high.
Here, all bids are in US dollars, and the 3 million is of course 3 million US dollars, and this price is far more than the actual price of this Ming blue and white piece.
Li Kai's bid attracted the curiosity of the others, and they all glanced here, and those who knew Duan Ye bowed their heads and said hello in a friendly manner.
Just when everyone thought that there was no suspense about this piece of porcelain belonging to Likai, a voice suddenly sounded.
"5 million!"
Everyone was very stunned that someone had broken the rules of the auction, and this was to bid with others.
This is a charity reception, all the bidding prices are far more than the actual price of the object, for the sake of respect, generally no one will compete with others, even if they want to do charity, they will find an object at random, spend a lot of money to smash it down. I won't fight with others.
Everyone looked at the man and saw that it was Franklin, the CEO of Fannie Mae.
Duan Ye, Ye Zifeng, Li Kai, and Zhang Jie also looked at Franklin in surprise.
Everyone didn't expect Franklin to suddenly participate in the bidding, and suddenly everyone quieted down and stared at Duan Ye and the others.
"6 million!" Li Kai couldn't help but add another 1 million.
"10 million!" Franklin didn't give them any chance at all, and directly raised the auction price of this blue and white porcelain to 10 million.
Now, everyone understands! Is this a gap between Franklin and these Orientals, and isn't he slapping these Orientals in the face now?
There are people who have a good relationship with Franklin, full of joy, to see the excitement of these Orientals, but more people think that Franklin's actions should not be.
Li Kai still wanted to bid, but was stopped by Ye Zifeng.
"This Ming blue and white is not worth the price at all, besides, they do charity in their country, why should we make wedding dresses for others?"
Li Kai listened, thought about it, and gave up the bidding.
In the end, this Ming blue and white Franklin was auctioned for a high price of 10 million.
Franklin looked smug and glanced at Ye Zifeng and them with contempt.
The next few items, Ye Zifeng, they didn't appear until a bead appeared.
Ye Zifeng and Li Kai were shocked when they saw it. They glanced at each other, and there was nothing but shock in their eyes, confusion, and incredulity.
And Duan Ye and Zhang Jie were very strange when they saw their expressions.
"What? Have you ever seen this bead? Zhang Jie first thought that they had seen this bead.
Li Kai nodded, then shook his head again.
Seeing Li Kai's hesitant appearance, Zhang Jie was anxious, this was not teasing me, he nodded again, thinking he was shaking his head.
"Have you seen it?" Zhang Jie confirmed again.
This time, Li Kai shook his head resolutely, saying that he hadn't seen it, but Zhang Jie just didn't believe it.
In fact, they have not seen it, this bead is the evil pearl that Li Kai got before, and it was later taken by Brother Qiang, and they didn't expect it to appear here.
Thinking about Brother Qiang, he turned out to be a gambler, and when he was dying, he often went in and out of the casino, and this evil pearl was likely to be realized by Brother Qiang, and finally ended up here.
The appearance of this bead quickly attracted everyone's attention because it was so brilliant and the best in the East Pearl.
And here, only Ye Zifeng knows the power of this bead.
When Ye Zifeng saw Franklin, suddenly, a thought flashed.
"2 million!"
Just when everyone was still sighing at the perfection of this bead, Ye Zifeng actually made the first bid.
Everyone looked at him in amazement, especially Franklin.
When Franklin looked at Ye Zifeng, Ye Zifeng's face was full of confusion, as if this bead belonged to him.
Everyone saw Ye Zifeng's expression, and glanced at Franklin intentionally or unintentionally, because they had fought before.
Sure enough, under everyone's gaze, Franklin couldn't help it.
"5 million!" Franklin made the bid.
"10 million!" At the end of Franklin's words, Ye Zifeng immediately bid.
And he looked at Franklin defiantly, his eyes full of unkindness.
Li Kai looked at Ye Zifeng suspiciously, he knew that Ye Zifeng knew this bead, and told him that whoever was contaminated with this bead would be invaded by evil qi and there would be no good result.
But later, when Li Kai saw Ye Zifeng constantly provoking Franklin, he immediately understood Ye Zifeng's thoughts, this is to invite you into the urn and lead Franklin into the set.
Thinking that Franklin spent a lot of money to photograph an evil pearl, Li Kai was excited.
Duan Ye and Zhang Jie saw Ye Zifeng and Li Kai like this, and they both felt inexplicable.
Sure enough, Franklin was completely enraged by Ye Zifeng's behavior, and he shouted: "20 million! ”
When Franklin quoted the sky-high price of 20 million, Ye Zifeng just shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and grimaced at Franklin, meaning that the bead belongs to you.
Franklin's punch was in the air, frustrated.
In the end, the pearl was auctioned by Franklin for $20 million.
And in this whole process, Buffett paid deep attention to Ye Zifeng and them, and when Franklin finally photographed the bead, Buffett glanced at the bead intentionally or unintentionally, frowning slightly, thoughtfully.
Duan Ye saw that everyone was being noticed by others, so he decided to leave early, and when he said goodbye to the master, the master saw that he had decided to leave, and he did not force him to stay.
Coming out of the cocktail party, they looked at the lights showing off the Empire State Building, and Ye Zifeng and Li Kai were still full of excitement.
Seeing the two of them like this, Duan Ye said slowly: "This bead should be the East Pearl, in terms of size, roundness and color, it can be called the best in the East Pearl!" Even so, it is nowhere near $10 million! ”
Duan Ye looked at Ye Zifeng suspiciously, 10 million US dollars is the price quoted by Ye Zifeng, Duan Ye knows that Ye Zifeng is a steady person, he will not be untargeted, he must have his reason for doing this.
Duan Ye hoped that Ye Zifeng could tell him the truth.
Zhang Jie also raised his ears and wanted to hear Ye Zifeng's explanation.
"Master Duan, can I keep it a secret? Naturally, I'll tell you when the time comes! Ye Zifeng looked at Duan Ye with a smile and said.
"Okay! Look at you kid, you know that holding a belly of bad water, did you pit Franklin? When Duan Ye saw that Ye Zifeng didn't say anything, he knew that he had a reason, so he didn't force it.
"Really? Can a bead pit Franklin? Then there must be something wrong with this bead! Zhang Jie said.
Use money to pit Franklin, that's not a pit! That's definitely not a matter of 20 million, it must be a matter of this bead, so Zhang Jie vaguely feels that there is something wrong with this bead.
Duan Ye also felt the same way, but Ye Zifeng didn't say it, and he didn't want to force it.
"Eventful! Didn't Zifeng say that he would tell you when the time came! Li Kai saw Zhang Jie digging to the bottom of the matter, and glanced at him.
Because this bead was involved in an unpleasant past of Li Kai, he didn't want to turn it over and say it.
This bead hurt him, but at the same time it also saved him, if he didn't take a bead to find Zhou Qiqi, he wouldn't have met Ye Zifeng, then after he was kidnapped by Brother Qiang, life and death would be unpredictable.
Later, this bead was taken away from him by Brother Qiang, and Brother Qiang also died, and this bead appeared in the United States inexplicably, and let them meet it again.
Now, the bead has been patted away by Fannie Mae's CEO, Franklin, and it is unknown what will happen to Franklin after he gets the orb. (Southern Beacon predicts that there will be a wave of dinner market at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and "The Legend of the Stock God" will be interrupted and will ask for leave, I hope you will forgive me!) )
