Chapter 400: The Auction Begins

The next morning, Shen Yan got up very early, today was an important day for the auction, they naturally couldn't be late, otherwise once they missed the auction of the innate gossip map fragments, it would be miserable.

The location of the auction is in the Dorsett Hotel in Hong Kong, which is not very far from the Renaissance Seaview Hotel where Shen Yan and the others stayed, and they can be reached quickly by taking a taxi.

One thing I have to say is that Liu Xu's connections are really hard, and they got seven tickets for the auction, so they can participate in it every day and experience the atmosphere of the auction.

The auction began at nine o'clock in the morning, and at eight o'clock, many people had already walked in with their entourage.

The one who was able to participate in this auction was worth a lot of money, so he naturally brought a lot of relatives and friends, but like Shen Yan, he was the only one who brought a few beautiful women into the auction.

Shen Yan's position is relatively high, the more front, the more they can understand their status, after all, in the front, they can see these antique jewelry clearly, and there are many benefits to evaluating their own prices.

In Shen Yan's ethereal ring, there were a lot of jade jade night pearls, all of which he had collected in some inaccessible places over the years, such as some given to him by the ancient monitor lizard in the Flood Desolate Ancient Realm. For these jewels, Shen Yan didn't care about taking them all out, and he was a little reluctant, so he only took out two pieces and handed them to Liu Xu and asked him to contact the auction house to temporarily increase their entry.

He also wanted to know what people were now known about these ancient jewels, and to earn some extra money along the way.

"The auction starts in ten minutes, and the one in front, who is thin and has a tuft of mustache under his nose, is the bodyguard he hired on his left and right." Liu Xu pointed to Matsui Rong who was not far away and said.

Following the place pointed by Liu Xu, Shen Yan saw a middle-aged man, but Shen Yan did not feel the slightest fluctuation of aura from his body, obviously just an ordinary person.

And the two people beside him are actually masters in the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you know, in the previous Huaxia Soul, only Captain Tianfeng has reached this realm, and now Matsui Rong can actually invite two such masters as bodyguards, it seems that his status in the Yamaguchi Group must be extraordinary.

"I hope you can settle down a little bit in Huaxia, otherwise I don't mind letting you have no return." Looking at Matsui Rong, a cold glow flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, and he quickly disappeared.

"That man is Mehade, India's telecommunications tycoon, who has a lot of assets in India." Liu Xu pointed to a fat guy in the distance and said.

This person is simply a ball of meat, put there, one person can occupy the position of two people, a fierce mess.

Next to him, there are no bodyguards, but there are two beautiful women sitting left and right, like him, a rich chaebol, naturally there are many young and beautiful girls who take the initiative to stick to the past, of course, it is not his people who fancy him, but his money.

Mehad naturally knew, but he didn't care about it, as long as money could buy something, it could be solved in his opinion, after all, at his point, money was like paper, and it was spent casually.

Suddenly, Shen Yan's eyes froze slightly, and he saw Jiang Chen, who was wearing a windbreaker and wearing a scarf around his neck, also looking at him.

"Jiang Chen!" Shen Yan muttered to himself, this guy is really here, and he is just a person.

However, Shen Yan knew that with Jiang Chen's strength, there were few people in this world who would be his opponents, and one person could deal with any situation, and he didn't need any bodyguards at all.

Jiang Chen also saw Shen Yan, smiled at him, and then sat down in his place.

"He's Jiang Chen?" Captain Tianfeng asked, from Jiang Chen's body, he didn't feel the fluctuation of soul power, it seems that it is really as Shen Yan said, this person has no soul.

"Hmm." Shen Yan nodded, secretly guarding in his heart in case Jiang Chen made any out-of-the-ordinary moves.

Not long after Jiang Chen walked in, on the rostrum, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and tie and shiny hair walked over, walked to the auction table, and took the microphone to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this auction organized by Sotheby's, and thank you on behalf of Sotheby's in Lower Liulin." After the auctioneer finished speaking, he put his left hand on his chest and bowed to the audience.

In response, there was a round of applause from the audience.

"Chief Auctioneer of Sotheby's, Liu Lin!" Seeing Liu Lin, Liu Xu said softly, he was no stranger to Liu Lin.

As the chief auctioneer of Sotheby's, Liu Lin has a very high appearance fee every time, plus the commission obtained at the auction, which is even more expensive. The lot in his hand is often about 5% higher in its own value, which is not a small amount, and it is extremely remarkable that it can increase the value of tens of millions of lots.

"I know you're all here for the treasures of this auction, so I won't waste your time and let us ask for the first item." As he spoke, Liu Lin turned on the projector and reflected the image of the first item.

This is an oil painting, which depicts a group of working people, enjoying the sunrise, wiping the sweat on their foreheads, showing the working people's demeanor of getting up early and greedy for darkness, which is vivid and natural.

At the auction site, it is naturally impossible to take out the real handiwork, it is some image projection, if you fancy it and auction it down, after the auction, you can get your favorite items by paying the auction amount.

"This is an oil painting from the Italian newcomer painter Mr. Charles, "Sunrise Labor Picture", you can also see that this oil painting is like nature from the choice of pigments or description, and has a high collection value, and Mr. Charles has gradually become famous in the world in recent years, and the oil paintings he produced, each of which was auctioned to more than 100,000 M coins, if it is converted into Chinese coins, it is 670,000 yuan."

"And this pair, which is Mr. Charles's meticulous work in recent times, will surely increase in value in the future, gentlemen and ladies, what are you waiting for, such a fine work, are you not impressed?"

"The starting price of the oil painting "Sunrise Labor Map" is 100,000 M dollars, and the price increase shall not be less than 10,000 yuan each time, starting now."

Liu Lin is worthy of being the chief seller of the Sotheby's auction, and in a few words, he rendered the value of this oil painting to the heart's heart, even Shen Yan, who didn't have much feeling for the oil painting, was also a little moved and wanted to buy it and collect it.

"I'll give 150,000 M coins." After a short silence in the soul, someone held up a sign to offer, the price of this item is still affordable for them, and it is true that as Liu Lin said, Charles's oil paintings have a strong growth potential, and they will inevitably increase in value in the future.

"Oh... This gentleman bid 150,000 yuan, is there anyone who has a higher price than this? This is Mr. Charles's oil painting, and it will certainly be worth a lot in the future. Seeing that someone increased the price to 150,000, Liu Lin had a smile in his eyes, but he quietly continued to let people increase the price.

"I'll give 170,000!"

"I'll give 200,000 ......"

After a round of bidding, the value of this oil painting soared to 250,000 yuan, which is also the highest value of Charles's sale in recent years.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand once, two hundred and fifty thousand twice, two hundred and fifty thousand three times, deal." Liu Lin made the final decision, and the oil painting was also purchased by a collector from Shanghai.

"Congratulations to this gentleman for getting our first lot." Liu Lin smiled, "Tibetan friends who didn't get it, don't be discouraged, there are still many treasures auctioned in this auction, and there will definitely be one you like." Next, let's have a second lot. ”

As he spoke, Liu Lin opened the picture of the second lot.

The second is a porcelain vase, but from the shape of it, it is not from China, but full of exotic style.

"As we all know, porcelain is a relatively common work of art in China, but foreign porcelain, presumably not very common." Liu Lin smiled slightly, "This porcelain was unearthed on the Silk Road, full of alien scenery, and after expert judgment, the age of this porcelain is about the Tang Dynasty, and the place of unearthing is today's Kazakhstan, Tibetan friends who prefer porcelain can compete, the starting price of this item is 180,000 M coins, and the price increase shall not be less than 10,000 each time, everyone, please start." ”

After Liu Lin finished the introduction, he smiled and looked at the collectors in the audience, for this porcelain must be not deceitful interest, although his workmanship may not be as good as the porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, China, but it is better than the age, but also full of exotic customs, it is rare, rare is expensive, this truth everyone understands.

"I paid 300,000 yuan, I want it, and I also ask Xiuwei Tibetan friends to see my Zhu Changhui's face, give me this porcelain, and I am grateful." A middle-aged man stood up and smiled slightly.

"It turned out to be him!" Hearing the man report to his home, Liu Xu was slightly surprised.

"Does Professor Liu know where this person came from?" Shen Yan asked.

"This person has a lot of research on porcelain, especially in the field of porcelain firmness, and he has his own unique opinions, and many people will let him help him palm the palm of the eye when he is not sure of the porcelain, and he is quite happy. He can also be regarded as the number one person in the Chinese antique industry, and many people will sell him a face. Liu Xu said.

Hearing that Zhu Changhui wanted this porcelain, many people sighed, it was very unwise to offend Zhu Changhui for a piece of porcelain.

After Zhu Changhui increased the price once, no one increased the price here, Liu Lin had no choice but to sigh and award this porcelain to Zhu Changhui.

The items are auctioned off one by one, but most of them are worth about hundreds of thousands, and it is rare to see more than one million, everyone has been in the antique circle for so many years, and no one is a fool, and they don't go back to be wronged.

"The next lot is unique in the world, and you can't miss it."

Liu Lin smiled slightly, only to see that on the screen, a night pearl the size of a basketball!
