Chapter 68: The Auction (Part II)
"What we are going to auction next is a painting from the Lost Lands, although this painting is just a simple sketch, but it is painted by Her Royal Highness Princess Tianjiao, the brightest pearl of the Lost Lands and the only daughter of the overlord His Majesty!"
The crowd below suddenly became excited, but they knew very well that this thing basically had nothing to do with them, and it would definitely be bought by a wealthy family in a private room, and they were just discussing which one might end up in the end.
"The starting price is 1 yuan, and each price increase shall not be less than 1 yuan."
Hearing this price, everyone was speechless, and looked at the auctioneer in unison, and the auctioneer spread his hands helplessly, explaining,
"This is what Her Royal Highness the princess meant, and Her Majesty the princess said that she will not auction the paintings again in the future."
Suddenly, the pot exploded below, and everyone was in a heated discussion, this was the first time that the auction of the royal family of the Lost Lands had appeared, and everyone was waiting for the appearance of this painting.
As the show girl slowly appeared, everyone also saw the painting clearly, a standard sketch, A2 paper, on which a cat sat on the boy's shoulder, and the cat bit the boy's ear.
When Jiang Wei saw this painting, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, the memories of those happy days flashed in his heart, and the scenes of getting along with Bai Qingling flashed through his heart, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, Xiaobai, are you okay?
It's just a very ordinary sketch, but as the auctioneer's hammer falls,
"Let's go!"
"1 million." The fat man in the front row made a tangled bid, but he knew very well that his price was probably just the price of soy sauce, but he was still unwilling.
Imagine if you had a collection of this painting of the princess of the Lost Lands in your home, and it was the only one, wouldn't it be an honor? The answer is yes.
"10 million," said Hei Tingsi, the second prince in the private room on the right.
"15 million." A high-roller in the audience does not show weakness, whether you are a prince or not, we have to fight for this kind of opportunity.
The old man on the right side of "20 million" is also chasing after this painting.
"30 million" Hei Tingsi gritted his teeth and directly added 10 million, he was bound to win this. The two staff members next to him also agreed very much, after all, Atlantis invaded the Lost Land back then and was almost blown up by the other party, and now although the national strength has recovered, it still can't reach the original level, which can be regarded as a disguised pat P, give in, and improve the Lost Land's perception of themselves, because they have this invasion record, so the shortage of their country's Mithril reserves has always been a problem, and the Fox Chamber of Commerce with the largest reserves is very strict with their cards, and it can even be said that they are harsh.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I'm sorry, the old man is bound to win this time, 40 million."
The old man in the private room on the right was ruthless this time, and this kind of painting with strong meaning naturally had to be in his pocket.
"Rick, how much money do we have?" Black Thunder looked at the hook-nosed middle-aged man next to him,
"Your Highness, we still have 50 million."
Black Thunder gritted his teeth,
"50 million, old man, count me as your favor."
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, this is the favor of an imperial prince, it can be said that money can't buy it, and he said it in front of so many people, so naturally he won't regret it! Otherwise, he won't be able to save his reputation.
The old man on the other side thought for a while, sighed slowly and said,
"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, our Manhattan family also likes this painting, 55 million."
The people below suddenly gasped, this old man was a member of the Manhattan family with a history of 10,000 years in the universe, no wonder he dared to fight with the second prince.
"You ......"
Hei Tingsi didn't expect him to be so faceless, and he trembled with anger, but a 10,000-year-old family like the Manhattan family is naturally not afraid of their royal family, and Li Ke next to him saw this situation, and his eyes rolled,
"Your Highness, we can borrow some money from the Ninth Princess."
After hearing this, Hei Tingsi's figure froze, and he said a little angrily,
"That girl's interest is not ordinary black."
"As long as Your Highness dedicates this painting to His Majesty, no matter how high the interest is, it is worth it."
"Okay, I'll contact him now."
"55 million once, is there a price increase? Unique! â
The auctioneer looked at the crowd and did not forget to arouse everyone's desire to collect again.
"100 million"
Everyone looked at the private room on the high platform in the auction hall, and the price was clearly from Jiang Wei.
Ai Wei also looked at Jiang Wei with wide eyes, very puzzled,
"Hey, Xiao Weizi, why did you pay for this princess's painting?"
Maria's pretty maids also sat and waited for his explanation,
"That cat is my master."
Ivy looked at the sketch again, and her heart trembled, how could the young man with only one back look so much like him? His master is the cat, and this painting is painted by Princess Tianjiao in the Lost Land, thinking of the respectful attitude of the Fox Chamber of Commerce to Jiang Wei in front of her, Ivy's heart suddenly sank, how could she not even guess such a thing as a scholar, she had already guessed in her heart, could it be that his master was really her?
"Well, then naturally I want to take a picture, you used to tell me that your master is a cat, and I actually thought you were lying to me. I've heard that all the beasts in the Lost Lands can turn into human forms, and your master is very beautiful, right? â
Ivy said with a slight sour feeling in her heart, the smart Maria looked at Ivy in front of her, and she didn't know how to say it, she naturally guessed the relationship between Jiang Wei and this princess.
"That's my master, I have always respected her, besides, although she is a princess, she is a lot older, and her hair is gray."
Jiang Wei shook her hand vigorously, he naturally sensed Ai Wei's unhappiness, and explained to her. Ai Wei's heart warmed when she heard him say this, and that little bit of sourness also dissipated, snuggling up to Jiang Wei's body, he silently thought in his heart, I didn't lie and told the truth, she is more than three hundred years old, and she has white hair, well, that's it!.
"My master can naturally transform into a human form, except that the beast tattoos on his body are probably the same as us humans."
"It's amazing, huh? No, your master has a beast tattoo on his body, how do you know? â
Ivy's hand immediately twisted around his waist and spun it three hundred and sixty degrees.
"...... in the face"
"100 million for the second time, is there anything higher than 100 million?"
The old man in the box on the left looked at the golden box on the high platform, thought for a moment, and decided to continue bidding, although it was possible to offend a powerful deposit.
"110 million."
"Now that the price is 110 million, is there a higher price?" The auctioneer shouted very hard.
"120 million."
Hei Tingsi has just finally borrowed 100 million from his sister at the cost of 2 cents per month, and he is also very confident at this time, looking at the box where Jiang Wei is located, Hei Tingsi shook his head helplessly, he really doesn't want to offend a character who can enter this kind of box, but he is bound to get this thing.
Jiang Wei frowned, and Ivy said,
"I still have 70 million cash here."
Jiang Wei shook his head with a smile and patted her hand,
"Don't worry, I still have money!"
"120 million once, is there a higher price?"
"Zijin, two hundred catties."
As Jiang Wei's voice came out, the entire auction hall was suddenly exploded.
Let's see, why people can sit in that box, because they are between Cow A and Cow C
Aren't you a lot of stars? People directly threw out two hundred catties of purple gold and stoned you to death, two hundred catties of purple gold were exchanged for gold, there were two thousand catties, and the market price was at least 400 million star yuan, and two poor insects of a prince and a Wannian family were hung and beaten alive, and now everyone in the audience was thinking in their hearts, "The prince and the Wannian family are weak, this is the real local tyrant!" â
The old man of the Manhattan family suddenly turned pale, glanced at the box where Jiang Wei was, couldn't swallow this evil breath no matter what, and gritted his teeth and said
"450 million."
Hei Tingsi was even more angry, and the price directly doubled to 400 million, but he didn't have so much money, so he had to watch the Manhattan family bid with this teenager with hatred, and secretly cursed the two of them.
"Zijin, four hundred catties."
Jiang Wei directly doubled, anyway, there were at least a few tons of purple gold in the treasure pile, and he was not afraid of running out of money.
The atmosphere in the auction hall exploded instantly, and everyone talked about it one after another, in the box of the Manhattan family, the old man was angry, but there was really no way, after all, he only had this money in hand, and if he wanted to use the family funds, I was afraid that those elders would disagree at the first time, but he was really unwilling, and his anger instantly broke through his reason,
"Friend, are you deliberately going against our family?"
The butler next to the old man instantly pulled him, "We can't offend people who sit in that kind of box, sir." â
"Presumptuous, Couckle, what right do you Manhattan family have to question our most honored guests of the Fox Chamber of Commerce."
President Tan stood up and asked.
The old man named Gu Kele turned pale, it seemed that this young man was really something he couldn't offend, but as a 10,000-year-old family, how could he admit defeat lightly, he opened his mouth and said slowly,
"I don't know which family this little friend is, I will be excited in the next moment, please don't be surprised, and invite my little friend to come to my family's holy mountain as a guest when you have time."
The holy mountain that Guker said refers to the mountain forest where the ancestor of their family, the martial saint Still, lives in seclusion, and the implication is that there are saints in our family.
"Gu Kor, I warn you one last time, come out and apologize immediately, otherwise there is no need for Wusheng Mountain to save zĂ i, and those who are enemies of your guests are enemies of the Lost Land."
President Tan said categorically, everyone next to him was very surprised when he heard President Tan's words, he said it very decisively, at first glance, it was not bluffing, but really, who is this young man?
Couckle was awakened like a blow to the head, and suddenly sweat soaked his back, it turned out that this young man was definitely not a human, but a giant beast from the Lost Land, this thought instantly appeared in his heart, and he hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, quickly walked out of the box, and respectfully bowed to the box where Jiang Wei was and said,
"I'm really sorry, please forgive me, don't be like me a bad old man."
At this moment, he can't care about the shame of offending the Lost Land, and Atlantis is an example. He couldn't help but bow his head.
Jiang Wei looked at the old man speechlessly, why bother, he was still so angry at such an old age, and said softly,
"Forget it!"
The second prince in the private room on the right was also frightened, fortunately he didn't mix, he was very comfortable to see the Manhattan family deflated, he didn't expect the young man in this private room to come from so much, he also secretly guessed, even if this young man is not a high-level in the lost land, he is also a high-level child, he has to go back to report to his father quickly, if he can get to know this person, then he will be of great help to himself in the future.
Without any suspense, Jiang Wei took this sketch with 400 catties of purple gold, and when he got this painting, he stared at the picture for more than ten minutes, and he missed his master, Xiaobai, more and more.
After the auction ended, Jiang Wei and several daughters quietly left the venue under the arrangement of President Tan, hiding their merits and fame, leaving only a legend.
