Chapter 274: If you dare to target me, I will definitely make you pay

Warren Buffett brought tonight's auction list and handed Yang Chen a copy.

According to the list, there are a total of five antique artifacts from the Dragon Kingdom in this auction, two of which are rabbit heads and rat heads of the Chinese zodiac, and a gilded bronze Buddha from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining two are Yuan Qinghua and Tang Sancai.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Chen's mouth.

The zodiac is just an ordinary object for foreigners, because they don't have the word for the zodiac.

Therefore, the rat head and the rabbit head are aimed at the dragon people, and only the dragon people will bid to auction these two things.

The gilded bronze Buddha may also be considered from the workmanship and the value of its own precious metal, and there may be foreigners auctioning it, but there is a high probability that only the people of the Dragon Kingdom will bid for it.

The country can't solve the historical problem, and Yang Chen doesn't want to say anything.

Since you have encountered them this time, let's try to bring them all back as much as possible.

Marshall Kennedy next to him was a master of antique artwork in the Dragon Kingdom, and of course he knew what the rabbit head and the rat head were, as well as what the gilded bronze Buddha meant to the Dragon people.

If he can photograph these three things, of course, if Tang Sancai and Yuan Qinghua can be photographed, it would be best if he could send them to the Dragon Kingdom for a little operation, and he would be able to sell them at a higher price.

Because rabbit heads and rat heads are not just cultural relics for the Dragon Kingdom, they represent more of the dignity of the country and the nation.

Jenny Hathaway grew up in the Dragon Country, and in addition to her appearance, her thoughts and values are no different from that of pure Dragon People.

Therefore, she also knows the value of rabbit heads and rat heads.

Jenny asked, "Mr. Yang, do you want to bid on these two beast heads?"

Yang Chen: "It depends, if the price is right, I'll shoot it."

Warren Buffett: "I've inquired, and the target price of these two lots is probably in the range of 00,000 meters. Converted to your dragon currency, it will cost about 150 million. If you shoot both, you have to prepare at least 300 million. It's a bit of a big price, so you'll have to think about it."

Gates: "And that's just the auction house expects the lowest price, and if there's competition, the price could be higher."

Yang Chen: "It depends on the situation, it's still the same sentence, if the price is right, I will definitely go out and bid for it." To you foreigners, these two things are of little value. But to the Dragon Kingdom, they mean a lot."

Buffett and Gates nodded in understanding.

Phillips Hathaway said, "Your biggest rival is from the Dragon Kingdom, and then there's him."

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing at Marshall Kennedy at the table next to him.

Phillips Hathaway explained, "Marshall specializes in antiques and works of art in the Dragon Kingdom and surrounding countries, and he must have known the value of these two things, and he will definitely bid for them, and in the future, they will be auctioned off or sold to the Dragon Kingdom at a higher price."

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for the reminder, I only look at the price, not the opponent. No matter who the opponent is, it will not affect my judgment on the price of these two things."

Phillips Hathaway smiled and explained, "I understand. I mean, if Mr. Young needs it, I can try to talk to Marshall and ask him to give you at least one so you don't have to pay so much. While you may not be short of money and don't care about having some extra money, it's also a good thing to be able to give a little less. Isn't it?"

There's nothing wrong with that.

Originally, these are all things from the Dragon Kingdom, and they will appear here because of some historical reasons, and the people of the Dragon Kingdom spend money to buy the things of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, which is very nonsense, and it is of course best if you can buy them for less money.

Yang Chen is rich, and the system also said that he can buy as much as he wants, but it is of course best to give less money to foreigners.

Therefore, Yang Chen nodded and said, "Then thank you, Mr. Hathaway."

Phillips Hathaway also wants to please his daughter by helping Yang Chen, which is why he is so active and active.

"Haha...... No thanks, you're Jenny's boss, we're our own people, no thanks. Wait, I'll go and talk to him." Phillips Hathaway said with a smile, and then

I went to the table next to me to communicate with Marshall.

Marshall immediately laughed when he heard that Yang Chen was going to bid for the two beast heads.

He walked over to Yang Chen and said, "Hello, I'm Marshall Kennedy, what do you call it?"

Yang Chen: "Hello, my name is Yang Chen."

Marshall Kennedy: "I heard Mr. Hathaway say you want to bid on those two heads, don't you?"

Yang Chen nodded.

Marshall Kennedy confidently said, "I advise you to give up. It's not that I don't give Mr. Hathaway face, it's that I'm determined to get these two things. And that gilded bronze Buddha, I must also take it. You can bid for Tang Sancai and Yuan Qinghua, and I can give you those two things."

Phillips Hathaway hurriedly said, "Marshall, don't do this, he is my daughter's boss, you can give him one."

Marshall JFK: "Mr. Hathaway, aren't you embarrassing me? This is a business, a real money business, how can you just give it to others? If he has money, he will bid with me, and if he has no money, he will sit honestly and stop talking. Miss Jenny, are you right?"

Jenny Hathaway sneered and said, "What you said is right, it still depends on personal strength."

Marshall JFK: "Yes! It's so good, whether you can shoot it or not depends entirely on your personal strength. Even if I were willing to let it, this Mr. Yang would not be willing to ask for it. Right?"

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Kennedy is right, then let's rely on our own abilities."

Marshall Kennedy: "Okay! Then we will each do what we can. If Miss Jenny has her eye on a lot, we can bid for it together, and we can divide the money equally. I have a complete industrial chain here, and I can definitely ensure that the benefits are maximized."

Jenny Hathaway shook her head and said, "Thanks, no."

Marshall Kennedy: "When the auction is over, can I invite Miss Jenny to have a supper?"

Jenny Hathaway shook her head and said, "I'm not in the habit of eating supper, I'm sorry."

Marshall Kennedy still wanted to continue, and at this time the host had already warmed up on stage.

He had no choice but to return to his seat.

It seems that Jenny Hathaway is not easy to handle, and she will not be given a chance at all.

Marshall came up with a way to woo Jenny through Phillips Hathaway.

Phillips Hathaway has always wanted to take a stake in Marshallese's antique trading company, but in such a profitable company, Marshall is certainly not willing to share the shares to others.

But if this person is the future father-in-law, and he is also a governor and father-in-law, it will be different, he will give a little equity, and he will definitely get more in the future.

Businessmen are all good at calculation, as long as they can get N times the return in the future, they can invest now.

Marshall sent a message to Phillips.

"I like your daughter, help me pursue her, we two strong together, we will definitely make more money in the future. I can give you 15% of the shares in the antique trading company, and you don't have to give me any money, so much equity for nothing, as long as you help me pursue your daughter. 「

After reading the message, Phillips quickly put away his phone.

To tell the truth, Marshall's conditions are very good, the son of the governor of Newyo State, not counting their family's property, is his own antique trading company is very profitable, and he himself is good looking and other aspects, it is indeed a good choice.

But Jenny grew up in the Dragon Kingdom from childhood to adulthood, and it is not certain whether she likes the people of the United States or not.

Therefore, Phillips did not dare to bring up this matter rashly, and waited until his relationship with Jenny went further.

Soon, the auction began.

The first few lots were all paintings by foreigners, and although there was no shortage of masterpieces such as Van Gogh, Yang Chen never bid.

Foreigners' things, he will never collect them, he only needs the brothers of the Dragon Kingdom.

Soon, the gilded bronze Buddha of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty came on.

Auctioneer: "This lot is amazing, it comes from the Ming Dynasty of the Dragon Kingdom, that is, from 1403 to 1424

Year. If this thing is placed in the Dragon Kingdom, it will be a national treasure. Those who know the goods must bid, and I won't say much about the rest. The starting price of this lot is 8 million meters of gold, and each price increase defaults to 100,000 meters of gold. Bidding is now open!"

The dragon people at the scene began to bid.

"10 million meters of gold!"

"11,000,000 meters of gold!"

"12 million meters of gold!"

……

Watching the people of the Dragon Kingdom bidding with each other, Yang Chen shook his head helplessly.

Isn't it internal friction if you raise the price yourself?

Bidding should also pay attention to strategy, as long as there are no foreigners bidding, there is no need for your own people to increase the price so much at one time.

That's the difference in thinking.

Yang Chen felt that the people of the Dragon Kingdom who came to the scene today were all his own people, and no matter who bid for the lot, it was a good thing, and things could return to the Dragon Kingdom.

But others don't have this idea, in their eyes there is only profit, and the purpose of their bidding is to go back and sell it at a higher price, not for any family and country feelings, national dignity.

Therefore, they not only have to compete with foreigners, but also compete with their own people, and strive to let themselves take pictures.

When the price came to 15 million meters of gold, the rest of the dragon people were quiet.

This thing is not very attractive to Yang Chen, as long as it is taken away by the people of the Dragon Kingdom, he will not bid, there is no need to let foreigners earn more.

However, at this time, Marshall made a bid, and he offered 18 million meters of gold.

He deliberately raised the price so high, firstly, to make more money in the future, and secondly, to scare off other competitors.

The price of &000000 exceeded the psychological price of other Dragon Nation bidders, and they did not dare to bid again.

Marshall said with a smug face, "I will definitely take what I want!"

"I'll give 18.1 million meters of gold!" Yang Chen said loudly.

Everyone looked at it.

Marshall Kennedy smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, are you sure you want to compete with me?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "Bidding is originally a matter of each person's ability, isn't it?"

Marshall Kennedy laughed and said, "That's right, I like an opponent like you. If no one bids, then I don't think it's interesting. I'll pay 20 million meters of gold, do you still want to follow?"

"20,100,000 meters of gold!" Yang Chen said.

Anyway, just increase the price by 100,000 meters each time, and resolutely don't let foreigners earn more.

Marshall Kennedy refused to admit defeat and continued to bid with Yang Chen.

The final price came to 22.1 million, which was won by Yang Chen.

Marshall Kennedy looked displeased, and said, "You fight with me like this now, wait for those two beast heads, and I'll see how you can shoot them!"

Yang Chen: "As long as the price is right, I will definitely continue to bid."

The auctioneer was very excited to drop the hammer, this gilded bronze Buddha in the Yongle period was Yang Chen's.

Next came the auction of Tang Sancai and Yuan Qinghua, which were finally auctioned off by Longguo buyers at a price of 3.5 million meters of gold and 8.2 million meters of gold respectively.

Then came the highlight in the eyes of the Dragon Country, that is, the rabbit head and rat head, the second of the twelve zodiac animal heads.

Auctioneer: "These two lots may not be attractive to people from other countries, but they are definitely must-win lots for our friends in the Dragon Kingdom. These two pieces are the rabbit head and rat head in the 12 zodiac animal heads of the Dragon Kingdom, and those who understand them don't need my introduction to know their value. Now we are bidding for the rat's head, with a starting price of 15 million meters. Each price increase defaults to 100,000 meters of gold, and there is no cap. Bidding is now open!"

Buyers in the Dragon Kingdom immediately rushed to bid.

"16 million meters of gold!"

"20 million meters of gold!"

"26 million meters of gold!"

……

Seeing his own people bidding like this, Yang Chen was really heartbroken.

But everyone's mind is different, and he

Can't say anything.

If he talks about some national feelings or something, people will laugh at him for moral kidnapping.

Therefore, love is to ignore them, and it will be good if the price is almost finalized.

Soon, the price was called 45 million meters of gold by the people of Longguo.

Marshall next to him complained, "Are these dragon people stupid? My own people are so energetic, do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it? Fack, I don't dare to increase the price at such a high price, and I won't change hands in the future."

However, after a moment of hesitation, he still increased the price.

"46 million!" Marshall shouted.

He knows the value of the zodiac beast head, and this price may not make more, but it will definitely not lose.

Auctioneer: "46 million meters of gold once!" 46 million meters of gold twice! Is there a higher price?"

Yang Chen immediately raised the sign in his hand, which meant that he had increased the price by 100,000 meters.

Yang Chen's principle is like this, to ensure that things can be won, and not to let foreigners make too much money.

Each bid will increase the price by 100,000 meters by default, then he will add 100,000 yuan, and he will not give more than a dime.

Marshall Kennedy said angrily, "Did I say you did it on purpose? Do you have that much money to give to the auction house? Don't be like someone in your Dragon Kingdom who didn't have a product before, and took the east and west to pay."

"Haha...... "A group of foreigners laughed.

Yang Chen glanced at him and said, "If you have money, you will bid, if you don't have money, shut up, you say so much nonsense, will the auction house give you things for nothing?"

"Haha......" the crowd laughed again.

Jenny Hathaway also covered her mouth and smiled.

Marshall saw that this was not good, and his brother still wanted to pursue her, how could he make her laugh?

"I don't have any money? You don't even inquire about the strength of your Marshallese brother! I gave 47 million meters of gold! Do you dare to follow?" Marshall said with a look of apprehension.

Yang Chen still held up the sign.

Auctioneer: "This friend from the Dragon Kingdom bid 47.1 million meters of gold, is there anything higher?"

Marshall complained: "How much do people pay, you only add a fixed price every time, what do you mean?"

Yang Chen: "Just more than you, how do you care how I bid?" Do you want to continue? You don't dare to continue at this price, and if you count the commissions and various fees, you won't be able to sell it at such a high price when you go to the Dragon Kingdom."

Marshall felt that what Yang Chen said was very reasonable, the price of 300 million dragon coins was really not good to change hands again, so he had to give up.

If this thing is some famous paintings or something, he can collect it himself.

But this thing has no value to the foreigner, he spent a bonus of 50 million meters to buy it and put it in his hand, which is not in line with his businessman's profit-seeking character.

Marshall stopped talking.

The auctioneer shouted three times and then made a final decision, and the head of the rat belonged to Yang Chen.

The people of the Dragon Kingdom at the scene all looked at Yang Chen.

"Who is this man? Won't you lose money at this price?"

"I guess it's an agent of some big guy."

"It must be an agent, maybe it's sent by the state."

"At such a young age, it is absolutely impossible to have that much money. I basically know collectors and rich people in China, and I have never seen anyone's son look like this. So, it's certain that he's an agent of a certain bigwig. The big guy couldn't come forward, so he sent him to bid."

……

What's wrong with being young?

Do you have to be poor when you're young?

Brother is bidding on his own behalf, but he is not anyone's agent.

Thinking too much about you guys!

Next up is the rabbit head.

It's still the same as the situation just now, and the people of the Dragon Kingdom themselves pushed up the price.

When the price came to 28 million, the people of the Dragon Kingdom did not increase the price, at this time, Marshall looked at Yang Chen and said, "You bid?"

Yang Chen: "You give yours, why don't you care if I can't make a bid?"

Auctioneer: "28 million meters of gold once!" 28,000,000 meters of gold twice!"

Marshall: "I'll give 29 million meters of gold!"

Auctioneer: "Okay, 29 million meters of gold! And also...... Wow, this friend from the Dragon Kingdom has increased the price by another 100,000! Is there anything higher?"

Marshall gritted his teeth in hatred and said, "You're enough! Every time I bid, you bid, I don't bid, I don't bid, you don't bid, you target me, right?"

In fact, he made a mistake, Yang Chen just made sure that things did not fall into the hands of foreigners, if it was someone else, he would still increase the price by 100,000, not for Marshall, but this unlucky kid wanted to win every time, but every time he was killed by Yang Chen.

The rat is ranked first in the zodiac, so the price of the rat head is slightly higher.

The price of the rabbit's head is not so high, and the people in the Dragon Kingdom still understand the customs and habits of the Dragon Kingdom.

However, 29.1 million meters of gold is also sky-high, and these are originally things from the Dragon Kingdom, which makes these foreigners make so much money in vain.

Marshall gritted his teeth and continued to bid with Yang Chen.

"30 million meters of gold!"

"30.1 million meters of gold!"

"35 million meters of gold!"

"35.1 million meters of gold!"

……

The two of them turned bidding, but everyone on the scene was stunned.

"Wow!"

"Are they crazy?"

"Who is this Dragon Countryman? So ruthless?"

"Didn't he do his homework? It's not profitable anymore."

"How much money did this guy bring, he just photographed the gilded bronze Buddha and the rat head, and now the rabbit head is going to be spelled down!"

……

When the price was pushed up to 38.1 million, Marshall gave up.

"Fack! Damn it! This kid is definitely aimed at me! Originally, these things should be mine, and I can earn tens of millions of rice gold back when I go to the Dragon Kingdom! Fack! He's ruining my money!" Marshall complained to his companions.

The companions sneered in response.

"This is the Nexus, not the Dragon Kingdom, we can teach him how to be a man!"

"But if we dare to touch him, Sotheby's may hold us accountable."

"According to the rules, the auction house must ensure that the goods are delivered safely to the place designated by the customer. We really can't do it."

"We don't think about the lot, we fight him."

"Haha......"

Next is Tang Sancai and Yuan Qinghua.

Yang Chen's art museum has a lot of these goods, and he doesn't need to give money to these foreigners for nothing, so he didn't participate in the auction.

Soon, the auction ended.

Yang Chen became the owner who spent the most money in this auction.

Those buyers from the Dragon Kingdom hurriedly came over to exchange business cards with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen doesn't want to be so high-profile, and when the domestic news is exposed to him, he will not be able to drive an online car-hailing car in the future, and he has taken back the national treasure, if it is not handed over to the country, it will inevitably cause public opinion again.

It's better to keep a low profile for this kind of thing, just quietly send things to the Minghai Art Museum.

Someone from Sotheby's came over and invited Yang Chen to sign the contract.

Yang Chen made it clear that everything should be dealt with in a low-key manner, and Ma Xinmi, the person in charge of the auction house, immediately dismissed all irrelevant personnel and signed a contract with Yang Chen alone.

There are two main things that need to be discussed.

First, the issue of payment.

Second, the issue of delivery.

This time, the system will help pay for it, and you will be able to pay it in one lump sum tomorrow during your working hours.

Ma Xinmi immediately shook Yang Chen's hand excitedly and said, "Mr. Yang is a powerful buyer. On behalf of Sotheby's, I would like to present you with a VIP card, and we will notify you in advance of our Sotheby's auctions in the future, so that you can enter the auction without capital verification."

After saying that, Ma Simmi gave the secret

Shu called and asked the secretary to immediately formulate a VIP card according to Yang Chen's identity information and send it over.

Yang Chen was so happy, Ma Xinmi was naturally more cheerful, and he immediately said that Sotheby's would be responsible for delivering the goods to any prefecture-level city in the Dragon Kingdom.

Yang Chen waved his hand and replied, "No, you just send the things to the Aegis Security Group, it seems that it is on the other side of the Brooklyn district, I can't figure it out, you can contact yourself." Give it to a man named Adam Silva, and you won't have to worry about the rest."

Masimmi: "Oh, yes, yes! Mr. Yang cooperated with the Aegis Security Group and asked them to help escort him back to China. Right?"

Yang Chen nodded.

Masimmi: "Okay! Then we'll settle it. Tomorrow we will receive payment from Mr. Yang and immediately deliver the goods to Aegis Security Group to Adam Silva."

Yang Chen nodded and said, "Okay. It's getting late, I have to go back and rest. There will be a date later!"

Masimmi: "Okay, okay."

At this time, the secretary hurriedly ran over and delivered a VIP card.

Ma Xinmi took the card, held it in both hands and handed it to Yang Chen, and said, "Mr. Yang, this is our Sotheby's VIP card. With this card, you can participate in any Sotheby's auction and no capital verification is required."

Yang Chen took the card, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay! Thank you. If there is such a thing in the future, you must inform me. In addition, if you have the means to get the other beast capitals back, we can negotiate the price privately, and we don't have to make a big deal about the auction, and I will definitely not let you suffer in terms of price."

Sotheby's may not do that, but Masimmi himself is not.

Who wouldn't be interested in tens of millions of meters?

Masimmi: "Haha...... No problem! I will definitely pay attention to Mr. Yang's search, and if there is any news, I will definitely contact you as soon as possible."

Yang Chen nodded and left the auction site.

As soon as he left the gate, Marshall brought someone to greet him.

Marshall was very angry and said, "Boy, you deliberately targeted me and caused me to lose tens of millions of meters of gold, and I will definitely make you pay!"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "You don't have the money to bid yourself, and you don't allow others to bid?" Is this your bandit logic?"

Marshallese: "Huh...... I'm not talking nonsense with you. Miss Jenny, can I invite you to have a late-night snack with you?"

Jenny Hathaway: "I don't have a late-night snack with people who have a bandit mentality."

After speaking, Jenny pulled Yang Chen and left.

Marshall cursed angrily and turned to look at Phillips Hathaway.

Phillips Hathaway just sighed helplessly, didn't speak, and hurriedly chased after Yang Chen and Jenny Hathaway.

At this moment, Marshallese's cell phone rang.

He hurriedly connected and said loudly, "Hey, Mr. Ye Xuan, what's the matter?"

Yang Chen, who hadn't gone far, suddenly stopped.

Ye Xuan?

Did Marshall just say that Ye Xuan of the Ye family?

Still is...... Just homophony?
