Chapter 470: The original manuscript of the famous drama
"You!"
Although he expected Ye Liuyan to fight back, Kong Zhusheng obviously didn't expect this person to be so rude, the big chaebols around him were all important members of the Galaxy Consortium, and this kid didn't speak at all.
"Uneducated!"
Kong Lin and others came one after another, and at this juncture, they naturally would not miss the opportunity to criticize Ye Liuyan in public.
Paris is not only a romantic capital, but also a mecca for the nobility of the upper class, where the upper class has always valued gentlemanly demeanor and aristocratic courtesy.
Like Ye Liuyan, humiliating an important elder in his fiancΓ©e's family business in public, many upper-class people will definitely not be able to accept it.
Sure enough, many local wealthy businessmen, noble wives, and those young ladies who were dressed with solemn manners all cast strange glances at Ye Liuyan, and some even pursed their lips and snickered, as if they wanted to say that the prospective son-in-law of the Tang family turned out to be a man who didn't know how to be polite.
Even Catherine, who entered the arena with Ye Liuyan holding her arm, was very uncomfortable.
Just now she enjoyed the focus effect brought by this person, but now, she felt like she was recruiting black.
Kong Lin and the others were looking forward to seeing Ye Liuyan's embarrassment, but unfortunately they were destined to be unable to do so.
"If you're feeling embarrassed, keep your distance. Ye Liuyan lightly reminded the woman beside him.
"I didn't ...... No!" Catherine shook her head in embarrassment.
"Let's go. β
"Oh. β
In this way, the two of them seemed to regard the surroundings as transparent, and walked straight into the temple.
Kong Lin, Kong Zhusheng, father and son, their faces were gloomy.
During this time, their father and son have been looking for a new way out to deal with the Tang family, and now that Tang Tianlong's old guy has reappeared, and the consortium is back in his control, their father and son want to plot the wealth of the Tang family, which is more difficult than before, first of all, that person just now is an obstacle......
The temple is very grand, with huge stone pillars supporting the magnificent temple.
But the newcomers feel strange that although it is a temple with a strong classical atmosphere, and the architectural style on the outside is a miracle of ancient civilization, without flaws, but inside the temple, there is one thing missing - the statue of a god.
A temple in Nuoda, including all the built-up areas, is bigger than a few football fields, but there is not a single idol to be found.
It is said that when the temple monuments were unearthed, there were no statues of the gods enshrined here.
So far, scholars still do not understand what the belief in the temple of Sierra is, some say it is a Greek god, some say it is a Norse god, and some say it is Christ God, but there is no evidence.
The only guide is that in the ancient words carved in the stone pillars and walls, in many places, there is a name mentioned - Serra!
Hence the name of the temple.
But what kind of god Serra really is, no one knows yet.
The main hall of the temple has been decorated by the organizers, and the organizers are also making final preparations as guests from all walks of life take their seats one after another.
When Xin'er came in, she had been paying attention to this monument, and after pondering for a long time, she couldn't help but pull the corner of her clothes and said, "Brother, what kind of Serra can't it be another incarnation of the immortal grandmother, right?"
No wonder this pretty girl is so associated.
Because the evidence and inferences that Ye Liuyan had obtained before showed that the immortal grandmother had been to Europe a long time ago, and she had also left behind the legend of the blood clan.
"There is no sign of this for the time being. Ye Liuyan was also still carefully observing.
At this moment, the two black-clothed men of the organizer approached and asked politely: "Mr. Ye, welcome to our arrival, this is our honor, may I ask if you have anything to sell at this auction?"
"The registration time for the auction item has not ended yet?" Ye Liuyan was surprised.
"In this auction, there are some special things, whether they will finally come to the stage, it is said that it will be finalized, and in order to adapt to the situation, the organizer has also made an unprecedented decision, one minute before the auction starts, anyone can also add goods to the auction list, of course, the value of things, must meet a certain threshold!"
Liang Jing smiled sweetly and introduced him to some of the rules of the organizer, Mr. Ye obviously didn't care about these things before.
As for why the organizer's people came to inquire before the auction started, the reason is very simple, the organizer has no way to have any contact with Ye Liuyan in the past two days.
Ye Liuyan could feel that many collectors and wealthy people around him looked at him with eagerness.
What those people are looking forward to, and what the organizers want to sell, of course Ye Liuyan knows.
After hesitating, Ye Liuyan made a decision on the spot, and said in a surprising voice: "I am willing to sell the original Shakespeare manuscript of "Romeo and Juliet". β
Wow~~
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding seats were in an uproar.
The auction hadn't started yet, but because of Ye Liuyan's unexpected decision, the scene was instantly boiling.
"Romeo and Juliet" may not be Shakespeare's most valuable play, or even one of the four major tragedies, but it has a high reputation in the world circle.
If the original manuscript of this drama is taken out, it will definitely be a blockbuster at this auction event.
"This kid is really a dirt bun. β
"Seeing the money, grandstanding"
"That thing is very meaningful, if I get it, I will definitely give it to the eldest lady. β
Those sons-in-law candidates in the past despised Ye Liuyan's decision very much, and in their eyes, this thing should not be put up for auction at all, because there is no one, and people with taste and romantic feelings will treasure it.
"Mr. Ye, are you...... What are you already ......" Catherine was stunned, and suddenly became anxious, but she was afraid of leaking her mouth, so she could only squeeze her eyebrows, "In short, please don't make a hasty decision!"
"Given your performance, I think it's okay for me to withhold one or two plays. Ye Liuyan smiled casually and transmitted the sound to the ears of the big star.
Catherine's eyes widened, and the man's voice reached her ears without moving.
"What is the starting price, sir?"
The two men in black were very excited, and asked further with some nervousness.
Ye Liuyan looked at the two art investment consultants who came with him and said with a smile: "How much do you say it's worth?"
A man and a woman suddenly had serious expressions.
In the past two days, their boss has hardly talked to them about any art topics, and now he suddenly asks them, which makes them a little caught off guard.
But it is precisely at this time that the competitive relationship between the two is highlighted, who can take the lead in providing Ye Liuyan with a professional valuation, not only can he get impression points in Ye Liuyan's eyes, but also in the limelight on the current occasion.
In the end, the middle-aged consultant hesitated, and was preempted by the luxurious lady.
The woman smiled and said: "Before this, there was no original manuscript of Shakespeare's play in the world, and the only artistic medium closest to him was the set of folios printed in the seventh year after Shakespeare's death, it is said that the original folio was printed in 1623 only a few hundred copies, but even if it is a printed product, the original version of the folio that is still alive today has been worth millions of euros, in view of this, my estimate of the original manuscript of Romeo and Juliet is conservative starting price of 10 million euros!"
The middle-aged advisor smiled and nodded sheepishly, obviously agreeing with this judgment.
Many big collectors around me were very calm when they heard this starting price, but in their hearts, they had already begun to calculate the price they thought was okay.
It's just that they are not calculating the starting price, but the psychological price that they can accept in the end.
Obviously, the manuscript of "Romeo and Juliet", a famous Shakespeare play, must have sold for much more than 10 million euros.
Under the attention of all parties, Ye Liuyan looked at the two men in black and gave his own thoughts.
He agreed to the starting price, but demanded: "If the final transaction is completed, I can give the buyer a 1 to 50% discount, but at the same time, the other party must come up with a gift that satisfies me, otherwise no matter what the price, the transaction will be cancelled, and I don't want art for the gift." β
