Chapter 69: The Auction
The auction was held on time in the theater.
The auction that can accommodate seven hundred people is actually full, and I don't know where so many people came from, and in Chen Xing's perception, there are only more than five hundred guests, how did these people appear all of a sudden.
The first round of auctions began to be held by some antique art auctions in the world, after all, everyone here is a person in the red dust, inseparable from birth, old age, sickness and death, can not get rid of material desires and greed, each big family has some collection of antiques, calligraphy, painting, ceramics and bronzes.
These antique cultural relics, if there is no trade is a dead thing, at most it is a piece of art and other ornaments, only through a round of auctions to make it show a different value, in order to make the low-priced things to fry the high price and finally circulate in the world, this high-level auction will naturally be more valuable blessing halo.
The auctioneer was a bearded white man who spoke English. In this kind of international auction venue, naturally every seat is equipped with simultaneous translation headphones, Chen Xing does not need to wear headphones to hear the simultaneous translation sound coming out of the headphones, Zhou Weijie as a child of a big family, English is naturally learned before the Chinese, of course, there is no need for simultaneous translation.
The bearded auctioneer bowed and then made an opening remark before moving on to the first round of the auction.
First of all, there was the auction of some bronzes, and Chen Xingyi did not care much about such items, so he did not care much about the auction process.
A pair of three-legged bronze cups were made a hammer business by a big man of the Russ Kingdom at the price of millions of knife coins, and Chen Xing had a toothache for a while, just a tattered broken bronze vessel, and the copper was only two catties heavier, so it was also photographed by people with nearly eight million Chinese coins, which was simply a ghost.
I took another bronze quadrangular tripod, the boxy one is quite large, and it is also full of patina, Chen Xing also looked at it twice this time, this copper weighs seven or eight hundred catties, right? You can exchange it for a few dollars if you receive it, the price of bronze is not as high as copper, and if the operation is good, you can exchange it for a thousand dollars.
However, the starting price shouted by the auctioneer made Chen Xing want to spit out a mouthful of old blood, the starting price was 1 million knife coins, and the price was raised to 10 million knife coins after a moment of hard work, and in the end, it was a rice country who made a final decision with 20 million knife coins, Chen Xing touched his nose and felt bitter in his mouth, he knew how good it would be to charge more rags to auction, and the broken copper and iron received during the demolition that day were too much, and the quality was definitely much stronger than these green broken copper ware.
"Big brother, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, our goods have to start in the fourth round, what is the big brother in the first few games, although the shooting is it, the younger brother pays." Zhou Weijie saw Chen Xing touching his nose with a bitter gourd face, thinking that Chen Xing was impatient, and muttered in his heart: "In the end, he has evolved to the level of the ancestor, after all, he is the one who will enter the base sooner or later, how can these treasures and antiques in the mortal world get into his eyes." ”
If Zhou Weijie knew that Chen Xing used these bronzes as a broken copper and iron valuation, he might be petrified to a few levels, maybe directly to the diamond level, but he could directly put them on the auction table for auction.
"It's just a bunch of rags, what are you going to do!" Chen Xing said lightly, fortunately, the people around him are paying attention to the auctioneer's introduction of the next lot, otherwise he will definitely be shocked when he hears Chen Xing's words, but even if he hears it, he must pretend not to understand Chinese, otherwise this facial expression is more difficult to handle.
Chen Xing no longer cares about what he is shooting, it is nothing more than some tattered antiquities, it is quite funny to think about, while indulging in the relics of the ancients thousands of years ago, and on the other hand, he is obsessed with seeking the way of evolution beyond genes, since he wants to get rid of the impure genes of his ancestors thousands of years ago, why bother holding their relics as treasures, people are such a strange kind of creatures.
When Chen Xing was thinking wildly, the auction had been carried out to calligraphy and painting, calligraphy and painting things Chen Xing was even more confused, looking at the price of the final hammer on the screen, he couldn't help but scold his mother, a piece of paper was scribbled casually, and he couldn't understand whether the painting was a person or a ghost.
Fortunately, Chen Xing's emotional control has reached the point of perfection after evolution, even if he felt a few eyes peeping at him again, he didn't stand up, Chen Xing simply closed his eyes and filtered the suspicious people in the theater in his brain.
Strange things appeared again, and none of the 761 people in the entire theater were peeping at Chen Xing, but where did this feeling of being seen through come from?
Sighing lightly, the auction has entered the jewelry auction, Zhou Weijie is not very interested in antique calligraphy and painting, and any thing he treasures at home can be taken out more than a few auction items in today's auction. After all, his ancestor is an old monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years, and just leave a few childhood playthings to be the current ancient cultural relics, not to mention that the ancestor of the Zhou family is quite economically minded, and the ancestor of the Zhou family is very good at playing this kind of vain thing.
The families of the European and American families were originally not good at this, and they only knew that strength and strength were the fundamental source of all standards, so why not have a hard fist? It was the ancestor of the Zhou family who taught them to take selfies and buy selfies outside of their fists to inflate the value of their collections, but they didn't expect to get the total value of all the collections that have already exceeded several times the actual total value of all assets in the whole world, what is the point of this?
In fact, the treasures are also similar routines, compared to making a piece of paper to scribble some lines and paint a little color is more reliable, Zhou Weijie also likes to collect some gems and jade, because he likes ancient clothes, and after a while, he took a few pieces of heirloom ancient jade pendants, and did not forget to ask Chen Xing if he had any fancy objects.
In Chen Xing's eyes, these are all rags, but he hates this kind of sky-high rags, just a stone, polished and delicate, carved into fish, birds, flowers and insects, and the gods and immortals can be hung on their bodies? It wasn't until Chen Xing set foot on the star road and came into contact with more real interstellar soldiers like Shuo Bo that Chen Xing knew that some stones in the universe were not only jade for play, but also a supercomputer, equivalent to a mobile phone commonly used in the world, and an indispensable daily necessities for intelligent beings outside the stars.
In fact, the source of the world's obsession with accessories jade pendants and hand-toy pieces comes from the alliance, which is that in the early years, a person in the alliance privately violated the rules of the alliance and had too close contact with the upper echelons of the world, so that these ancients respected the alliance people as gods and Buddhas, not only produced the belief of various different civilizations, but also learned the clothing and decoration of some people in the alliance, and played with all kinds of jade.
But after all, there are countless levels of technological gaps, how could those human beings millions of years ago understand the miniature world inside a spar, those spar structures are not the atomic structures that the human world knows, but ultramicroscopic cells similar to the Evolution Dan. The ultra-micro cells in the Evolution Pill are intelligent, with the ability to resemble the nature of robots, and the ultra-micro cells that make up the spar only have a simple function of storing information, but this simple function of storing information combines an unimaginable supercomputer in the world.
Imagine an atomic-level storage unit, a computer without heat dissipation and power constraints, what kind of rebellion will it be? And this kind of anti-heaven computer products have been learned by the decorations of the gods and Buddhas in the world, and they have also carried forward and upgraded to create a world of jade treasures.
When Chen Xing was about to fall asleep, the auction finally completed the auction of the mortal stage, according to the rules, there must be a clearance before the items are configured in the auction base, only a small number of important members of the expatriate family participate in the auction, and the others must leave the scene.
As soon as the auctioneer said, "This auction is over", the people who should leave naturally understood that they got up and left the auction one by one in an orderly manner, and there were only about 100 people left in the theater of more than 700 people for a while.
Chen Xing didn't know the mystery, and when he saw a few people who came with Zhou Weijie standing up and leaving, he couldn't help frowning and touching his nose and said, "That's it?" ”
"Big brother, big brother, wait a minute, the real auction is about to start, it's better to auction that kind of thing with fewer people, so we have to clear some idle people." Zhou Weijie hurriedly explained.
Sure enough, the bearded auctioneer was replaced by a blonde beauty auctioneer, with a bewitching posture, and those who didn't know thought it was a fashion model going to the catwalk.
Chen Xing touched his nose and frowned again, there are many strange things every year, and the auctioneer is actually the room service desk supervisor that Chen Xing knows, and Bellie, who can speak fluent Chinese Chinese!
It's a little unimaginable that there are part-time jobs these days, but it is absolutely impossible for an auctioneer who is hosting an auction of hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars or more to be a part-time service desk supervisor.
"Ah, big brother, wonder why Belle is presiding over the auction?" Zhou Weijie seemed to be paying attention to Chen Xing all the time, and seemed to know Chen Xing's doubts, so he hurriedly handed Chen Xing tea and poured water.
"Yes, she speaks Chinese quite slippery." Chen Xing still has some good feelings for Bellie.
"Yes, yes, she can be regarded as a child of a foreign family, but she is not the main lineage of the family, so she ......"
"So she can host the auction." Chen Xing figured out the origin, the auction should be kept secret, and someone should come to the stage to preside, the people present are the main members of each family, it is impossible to wipe their faces to do this kind of thing, and people outside the circle are not at ease, Bai Li's family collateral is the best choice, and because she is proficient in Chinese, it is understandable to make a temporary guest appearance as the director of the important VIP area, and the people in the system are easier to speak.
At the same time, in a room at the bow of the second floor of the ship, four strange people sat in front of a table wearing masked cloaks, and in the middle of the table was a bracelet as green as jade, and a three-dimensional image was strangely displayed on the top of the bracelet, which was the scene of the auction.
