Chapter 99: Pulling the leaf into the water
"This is an electronic version of the treasure map, and some concealment has been made in the map to protect the interests of the bidders, so you don't need to doubt the integrity of this half of the treasure map." The host turned on the projection and pointed to the screen.
"I have a question." Someone in the audience raised their hands.
The host nodded and said, "Please speak." ”
The man who raised his hand stood up and said, "It's just half a treasure map, why make the auction so mysterious?" ”
The host smiled, "This gentleman said hello." I'm going to give you an answer. Because it is a half-treasure map, this map has a collection value. If it is a complete treasure map, the treasure owner himself will take someone to hunt for the treasure, how can he still take out the treasure map for auction. You say yes, right? ”
After listening to the host's words, everyone immediately began to discuss:
"Oh, that's right. If you collect it, half a sheet is also precious. If someone really wants to hunt for treasure and has the other half, they also need this half, and then the value of this half of the picture is immeasurable. ”
"This treasure master's brain is very useful. I even dared to take half a treasure map out for auction, if the treasure is attractive and has a story, even half a piece can be auctioned for a good price. Hmph, that makes sense, makes sense. ”
"Even if you can't make a treasure map, the expectation and imagination brought by this half treasure map are probably more valuable than if you can actually find a treasure."
"yes, now it's up to the host to tell the story."
At this time, Yu Lei had already recognized that the treasure map on the projection was the half they had seen in the morning, and whispered close to Ye Feng's ear: "Brother Feng, isn't the treasure map in my old villa?" Did they go and get it, and they didn't notice that the guards were knocked unconscious? ”
Ye Feng quickly turned his head and glanced left and right, and immediately found that the vultures were sitting in the two rows behind them, and hurriedly whispered: "I also feel strange, let's take a look and talk about it." Vultures are staring at us from behind, be careful. ”
"Hmm." Yu Lei hooked Ye Feng's arm and leaned on his shoulder.
After a pause, the host waved his hand to everyone to silence them, and then said, "What everyone wants to know most is probably the story behind this treasure map." I'll tell you about it now. ”
Immediately, a light sheet was replaced on the screen, which read: The Legendary Golden City.
At the same time, it is accompanied by a glittering photo of the ancient city, and there is a text introduction below.
The moderator explained to the text.
"Wow, this is made up, or is there really such a golden city?"
"It's also bizarre. The golden city built by the king of Xu, there is no record in the historical records. ”
"This history is too long, how can we investigate and explore?"
"Perhaps, according to historical records, the king is a mediocre emperor who is obsessed with drunken money. Throughout the dynasties, he is really the only one who would build such a golden city, and it is not credible to say that it was built by other emperors. ”
After listening to the host's introduction, everyone immediately started to discuss.
Yu Lei couldn't help but ask Ye Feng again: "Brother Feng, do you think this is credible?" ”
Ye Feng smiled: "Credible is not credible. ”
"Why do you say that?" Yulei Road.
Ye Feng said: "Most of the legends are like this. There is no way to investigate, and there can only be doubts. ”
"Will anyone believe it?" Yulei asked.
Ye Feng said: "Yes, someone will definitely believe it." A golden city, if you find it, it is better than running many enterprises with exhaustion. ”
"I don't believe it." Yu Lei said, "Even if there really is, I won't look for it." Such an old thing, even if it really exists, it may not be possible to enjoy it if you can find it. ”
Ye Feng said: "Everyone's thoughts are different. Especially if you want to make a fortune, you will want to have a treasure map, and maybe you will be able to find it soon. ”
"But this treasure map is only half a sheet, even if there is really a golden city, it is impossible to find it." Yu Lei shook her head and said.
A thought suddenly flashed in Ye Feng's mind: Why did they take out half of the treasure map and make it public for auction? I'm afraid it's not just for selling for some money, even if it can be auctioned for tens of millions, it's not at all for the fish head.
At this time, the whispered voices of the two patriots beside Ye Feng attracted Ye Feng's attention.
"To shoot or not to shoot?" One asked.
Another said, "See what the price is." If the price is not high, take a photo. ”
"What's the use of only half a sheet?"
"You don't understand. With half of it in our hands, if someone has the other half, they will definitely take the initiative to come to the door. ”
Ye Feng suddenly understood when he heard this, and the fish head seemed to be crazy to find the other half of the treasure map, so he came up with this idea.
That is, I want to use this half of the treasure map to lead to the other half of the treasure map.
That's a clever trick.
Fish Head's auction of the treasure map is not the purpose at all, it is his real intention to draw out the treasure map of the other half.
"What's the starting price?"
"Yes, yes, let's talk about the auction price."
There are a lot of smart people in the venue, and some people are already urging the starting price.
The host said: "Don't worry, everyone, we will invite our auctioneer to appear." ”
To the applause of the crowd, the auctioneer walked out with the auction hammer.
"Everyone has already heard the introduction, so I won't say more and just start shooting. The starting price of the treasure map is 10,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 1,000 yuan each time, and the price is increased by 2,000 yuan each time after 20,000, and the auction starts now. 10,000, does anyone want it? ”
"It's only 10,000, which is not high. It doesn't matter if you buy it and play with it. The people around Ye Feng immediately said.
"Eleven thousand dollars." Another person had already held up a sign.
"Twelve thousand dollars." Another card was revealed.
"Thirteen thousand dollars."
"Fourteen thousand dollars."
……
"One hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Five hundred thousand!"
In just ten minutes, the entire auction has set off a climax, calling 500,000.
At this time, the field was quieter.
"Wow, horse-stepper, why do so many people want this half of the treasure map. Does everyone think the same way we do? The people around Ye Feng patted the handrail and scolded, "Five hundred thousand, this is too high for stepping on a horse." ”
"Are you still shooting?" The other person was also weak-hearted.
"Forget it. 500,000 is too risky. We can't afford to play. ”
"Has anyone else raised the price? 500,000 one-time ...... 500,000 twice...... Five hundred thousand three ......"
"A million." Ye Feng suddenly raised his hand high and shouted loudly.
Wow –
The people in the audience immediately turned their heads to look at Ye Feng, their eyes full of surprise.
Yu Lei was also startled, staring at Ye Feng and said, "Brother Feng, are you ...... You're okay, right? Why do you suddenly participate in the bidding? ”
Ye Feng said in a low voice: "It's okay, I'll help them raise the price." ”
Ye Feng was thinking in his heart that if there were more than a million people with him, that person would definitely be able to find the other half of the treasure map. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken such a risk.
There are not many people who can throw away as much money as they can with a million, after all.
He wanted to see who could find the other half of the treasure map, but he couldn't tell Yulei his intentions now.
