Chapter 240: I'm Bound to Get This Thing!
Looking at the time, there are still ten minutes left for the auction to start, Chen Xuan is very attentive to pour water and peel fruits for Zhu Yu and the four of them, at this time she is not at all like the previous white-collar workers, but like a servant.
Zhu Yu suddenly thought of something and asked:
"Tatsu ...... Isn't it dry? Xuan, is it the beginning of a thousand-character essay? β
Chen Xuan's movements suddenly paused, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Yu with some surprise:
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhu to guess it."
"Actually, I should have guessed it a long time ago," Zhu Yu smiled, "It can be called Qiankun Auction House, so ranking is also the proper meaning of the question." β
The two men did not speak again.
However, Cao Dalong was very curious, and he wanted to ask, but was stopped by Ran Jie with his eyes.
As the auction began, a beautiful woman walked to the center of the hall, and a crisp voice reached the rooms:
"Distinguished guests, welcome to Qiankun Auction House to participate in this auction. Without further ado, let's take the first lot. β
A copper seal was held by a beautiful woman wearing Hanfu and walked to the front of the stage. The spotlight shines on the copper seal, revealing the full picture of the copper seal.
There is also a small screen on the TV in each room showing the clear photos of the six sides of the copper seal.
While presenting, the host introduced:
This copper seal is the seal of the king of Wusun in the 36 countries of the Western Regions, which was excavated from Kazakhstan and identified as true by authoritative experts. This hunting arrogance is the husband of Princess Xijun of the Han Dynasty and his relatives......"
As a native of the Northwest, Zhu Yu knew that this hunt was arrogant. Harmony is a political means for the dynasty, but it is a disaster for the princess who sent it. It was custom in the kingdom of Wusun that when the old king died, his concubines would be inherited by a successor, whether this successor was his son or his brother.
The two princesses, Xie Wei and Xijun, have more than one husband, in that environment......
Zhu Yu looked at this square seal and felt very uncomfortable.
ββ¦β¦ The starting price is 1 million yuan, and the price increase is not less than 100,000 yuan each time. β
The starting price is relatively low, but because this hunting arrogance itself is somewhat famous, and there is the status bonus of the son-in-law of the Great Khan, the auction is very lively, and after a while, the price has risen to 4.5 million yuan.
"Five million." Zhu Yu suddenly increased the price.
"Guest Nine bids five million." The host spoke very softly, and didn't deliberately try to provoke the atmosphere or anything, someone made an offer, and she just announced it.
Zhu Yu's bid surprised many people, because from the beginning, he had never bid. Now the price is suddenly raised, do you want to cut off the beard, or is it a whim?
For this copper seal, five million is already a high price. After all, no matter how famous he is, he is only one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. The Wusun Kingdom is considered the largest of the thirty-six countries, but that's it.
If it weren't for the famous horses of Wusun Country, and the location was important, maybe it wouldn't be their turn to be close to them.
ββ¦β¦ Third ...... Okay, deal! Lot 1 goes to guest 9! β
Zhu Yu didn't expect that he would get this copper seal with a casual offer, in fact, he didn't particularly want it, but he just felt a little bit at the time.
The seal was sent over, and Chen Xuan assisted Zhu Yu in transferring the account to the auction house.
Zhu Yu glanced at the apocalypse, and was surprised to find that this seal actually had another mystery?
What a baby!
Not bad! I've been really lucky lately!
Seeing that Zhu Yu's expression suddenly changed for the better and had a smile, Chen Xuan asked curiously:
"Mr. Zhu thinks this seal is very good?"
"It's good, it should be said, it's very good!"
Zhu Yu played with the copper seal. If it weren't for the inconvenience now, he was already planning to study it well.
ββ¦β¦ Next, the second lot is the imperial sword of Zhu Zhanji of Ming Xuanzong. As you know, Ming Xuanzong was a very wise and enlightened emperor, if it weren't for his untimely death......"
The host is relatively clear about the origin of Ming Xuanzong, and the introduction is not stiff at all, a bit like a storytelling.
And because of films and television films such as "Daming Fenghua" and "Daming 1566", coupled with the exaggerated propaganda of some people on the Internet about the style of the Ming Dynasty emperors, some emperors of the Ming Dynasty were praised a lot.
And this Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji is one of them, many people say that if Zhu Zhanji did not die early, the Ming Dynasty would not be so miserable later. At least there won't be a change in the civil fort, and there won't be so many strange things to do later.
Of course, it's just speculation.
So although Zhu Zhanji is not as famous as his grandfather Yongle the Great, he is at least somewhat famous. So the starting price of his treasure knife was one million, and it soon soared to seven million and one million-
Zhu Yu saw from the big screen that this treasure knife was very well preserved, no worse than the knives of Qianlong Lao'er stored in the British Museum.
When it was shown before, the sword was out of its sheath, and it didn't look rusty, and it was well maintained.
Think about it, it is normal for the emperor to use things that are more expensive than the king's seal he took earlier.
However, Zhu Yu was not interested in this knife, he suddenly remembered that he still had a bronze pen, so he took it out and coiled it in his hand.
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up when he looked at the pen, but he couldn't help but ask.
At the moment, her role is not a staff member, Zhu Yu didn't plan to take out this money, so she naturally didn't want to ask too much.
In the end, the treasure knife was auctioned away by the No. 16 guest for 11 million.
In Zhu Yu's opinion, he didn't expect this knife to be quite expensive.
"The third lot is a piece of jade from the Kunlun Mountains. This piece of jade is extraordinary, and it contains a mass of water that has existed for thousands of years......"
Source change appγ
The Hanfu girl held the lacquer plate and brought the jade up.
This jade is about the size of a football and has an irregular shape.
ββ¦β¦ This jade is a mountain flowing water, white jade seed material, reached the level of mutton fat jade, and no cracks, through the expert inspection, this material in addition to the tundish of the bag of water, the whole jade meat inside and outside is one, no impurities. β
Water in a stone is not a particularly unusual thing. It is mainly the storage of water in some crystal bags or agate bags, which is the product of changes in the movement of the earth's crust.
However, as soon as this piece of jade came up, Zhu Yu felt that the Heavenly Eye was sending a signal of extreme desire!
It wants it!
Desperately wanted!
From such a distance, the difference in the jade can be felt by the eyes of the sky?
Zhu Yu simply opened the Heavenly Eye to look over, and found that there was indeed a bag of water in the jade, but the water was shining with colorful light under the glance of the Heavenly Eye, which was obviously a ball of energy water!
Zhu Yu really didn't expect to encounter such a mass of energy that Tianyan longed for here!
This mass of energy has been liquefied, and it is much larger than the energy contained in those jadeites!
At this moment, Zhu Yu has only one thought!
Be sure to take it down!
"Because the texture of this jade is high, it is large, it weighs 12,247 grams, and it contains a bag of water that may have been formed hundreds of millions of years ago, so it is extremely valuable."
After a rare introduction, the host said:
"Therefore, the starting price is 10 million yuan, and the price increase is not less than 500,000 yuan each time, and the auction starts now!"
In the world, the main consumption of jade is China, or only China, or people in the Greater China region have a soft spot for jade.
Therefore, most of the people who come to participate in the auction here have some research on jade. Therefore, this auction was quite fierce from the beginning, from less than 10 million to 55 million in less than a minute!
And even so, the price has been going up!
Zhu Yu pressed the button and entered a number of 80 million.
"The guest in room nine offered 80 million." The host quoted the price very calmly.
As soon as this price came out, it was quiet for a while.
Everyone is raising the price of three or five million, No. 9 doesn't pay attention to the rules, adding so much at once, isn't it necessary to be ambitious?
However, none of the dozen guests were short of money, and after a pause, someone immediately followed.
"The fifteenth guest quoted eighty-five million!"
"The ninth guest quoted 100 million!"
Zhu Yu has a lot of money at the moment, but this kind of stone with energy water is really the first time he has seen it, and he feels that as long as it does not exceed six hundred million, he can accept it.
When he made such an offer, some people were really scared to stop bidding, not because they were really afraid, but because they didn't think it was worth it.
But the anger of some guests was stimulated, and the 11th guest asked for 110 million.
Although the next quotation is not as frequent as before, the range of bidding is much larger!
"180 million!" The sudden bid of the eighth guest also startled the others.
This time, even the host was a little surprised, because this piece of jade was taken out by the No. 8 guest.
Is this a bargain, or is it intended to be recycled?
Zhu Yu did not hesitate to increase the price again.
"The ninth guest bid 200 million!"
This price has exceeded the expectations of the eighth guest, and he did not quote again.
The eleventh and fifteenth guests tentatively increased the price twice, but Zhu Yu did not return at all, and finally won the jade for 230 million.
paid and settled as usual, and the eighth guest was overjoyed.
He received this piece of jade for 30 million, and many people thought that he had lost it at the time, but he didn't expect to come here to send it to auction, and it would rise seven times!
Earn big!
Of course, to each according to his needs.
Zhu Yu took the things away, and forcibly did not let Tianyan absorb the energy in this jade on the spot, otherwise he was afraid that something would happen at the scene.
The auction continued, and it did not stop because it was auctioned at a high price of more than 200 million, and Zhu Yu even felt that it might be normal to bid for a high price of more than 200 million at this auction.
Next is the Russian diamond crown, a treasure that many people have cherished, and the final auction price is 70 million.
Zhu Yu looked over with the eye of heaven and found that the crown had been repaired, and the diamonds on it had been replaced.
However, the main body of the crown is still the original, about 300 years old, so it is no problem to say that it is the crown of the Russian royal family.
Ah San's golden Buddha, decorated with many large gemstones, was finally sold for 31 million yuan, which was not as high as expected.
Zhu Yu guessed that it should be an aesthetic problem. If you invite a Buddha statue home, you also need to look at the edge, and if it is not a Buddha statue that you identify, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be willing to invite you back to worship.
"Next up is one of the most important items in our auction, which is a gold mask from the Indian sacrificial footprints."
The Hanfu girl brought the mask up.
In the spotlight, the mask radiates a mysterious glow.
"This face has an extraordinary effect." The host said with a little excitement, "Verified by our experts, this mask contains powerful life energy, which can keep people's body fully active......
Although the guests were all in the room, it was obvious that the atmosphere suddenly became warm!
"The credibility of our auction house experts is very high. So you don't have to question it. Of course, in order to confirm that what we say is true, each guest can be allowed to touch the mask and feel it. β
The Hanfu girl put her face up, starting from the No. 1 guest room, and let each guest touch it.
Here on the nineth, the Hanfu girl is no exception.
Zhu Yu just nodded with his finger.
The other guests who touched it were all shocked!
After the sixteen guests finished touching, Zhu Yu thought to himself, I'm afraid that there is less than half of the energy left in it!
The moderator continued:
"You should be able to feel the peculiarity of this mask. Let me explain that our expert came into contact with this mask a few days ago. The next day, I felt that my five senses had strengthened a lot.
So, tomorrow you should be able to feel the benefits. In addition, one of the biggest benefits is that the mask is able to absorb energy automatically. In other words, after the energy inside is absorbed, it can be automatically recharged when placed in a place with a better environmentβ"
"Okay, the auction starts, and the starting price is 10 million yuan......"
"The eighth guest bid 100 million!"
The previous piece of jade on the eighth made 200 million, and now is the time to be rich.
Just now he touched the jade and felt the feeling of being extremely comfortable, and he fell in love with it all at once!
Gotta get this mask in your hands!
Bid 100 million, firstly, he has made money, and he is rich and capricious.
Second, it is natural to hope to be able to scare off competitors.
However, he naturally underestimated the attraction of the content introduced by the host just now to this guest, and also underestimated the financial resources of other guests.
"The sixteenth guest quoted 150 million!"
"The twelfth guest quoted 200 million!"
β¦β¦
For these guests, money is now nothing more than numbers. And health and living long are the most important things!
Now that there is such a thing in front of them that can prolong their life, how can they give it up?
Therefore, the price climbed all the way until it was more than 400 million, and then it slowly stopped.
In the end, this mask, for 510 million, was photographed by the 16th guest.
This price is really beyond Zhu Yu's imagination.
In his opinion, this mask could not be compared to the jade that contained the water of energy.
After all, there's a lot more to your space!
But then Zhu Yu reacted.
Scarcity is expensive.
He attracted a large amount of jade energy, absorbed the energy of the crystal skull, and also absorbed the energy in the huge totem pole.
So I don't value the energy in the mask.
But in the eyes of these ordinary people, the energy in this mask is shocking enough!
Thinking that there were still hundreds of golden sacrifices in his hand that were stronger than masks, Zhu Yu felt that he was a little inflated!
