Chapter 390: What's wrong if you don't play cards according to the routine?

The farm is relatively small, with only a row of five-room bungalows, except for trees and a small vegetable patch.

The house is made of thick logs, which has a quaint and primitive feel.

"The things that need to be auctioned are here in the bungalow hall." Meng Kejian introduced Zhu Yu as he walked, and at the same time answered some questions from little Andrei in Russian.

Then Andre looked at Zhu Yu, his gaze was a little complicated, and the meaning was difficult to understand.

Zhu Yu didn't care about this. Now walking towards the farmhouse bungalow, Andre led the way in front, talking to Meng Kejian from time to time.

Zhu Yu was on Meng Kejian's right, and Qin Fei was on Zhu Yu's right.

Zhu Yu wiped his hand on his waist, and when he was inadvertent, he already had an extra Glock pistol in his hand, and handed it to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei quietly took the gun and inserted it into his waist.

Then he went to the left and touched Cao Dalong, Cao Dalong immediately went to Qin Fei's position, and Zhu Yu also handed him another gun.

This action was all done during the time when Andre and Meng Kejian were chatting, and they were not noticed by the other party at all.

When handing over the gun, Zhu Yu's eyes were still looking at the window of the bungalow in front of him, making sure that no one there was observing the outside.

After following Andre into the bungalow, Zhu Yu probably understood why no one was observing the outside.

There was a rotten smell in the bungalow that had not been living for a long time, although it was very strong, but Zhu Yu could smell it.

It's not popular anymore. Such a house can easily decay.

Luckily, someone cleaned it recently, so it smelled good.

The living room was not large, with tables and chairs, but Andrei didn't let them stay here, but led them directly to the next room.

The next room was twice the size of the living room, and at the moment there was a long table in it.

On the long table were more than a dozen of the things that Zhu Yu had seen in the mobile phone video.

A national treasure!

On both sides of the long table stood two old hairy men, with their hands crossed in their lower abdomen, and their guns pinned to their waists, looking very intimidating.

At this time, in the room, in addition to the two bodyguards, there were six people.

Another old Maozi stood in the innermost position against the wall, crossed his hands, and said nothing, Zhu Yu guessed that this person should be Andrei's cronies, right?

Then on one side of the long table, there are four chairs in a fan-shape.

In addition to the four people in Zhu Yu, there were five other people in the room.

The five men were divided into two groups, each speaking a different language.

As soon as he heard that voice, Zhu Yu had already concluded that there were three Japanese people and two sticks among them.

Plus I'm a Chinese, okay, the three East Asian countries are alive together.

Zhu Yu immediately opened the eye of the sky, and then saw that one of the Japanese people and a stick were carrying guns.

This is supposed to be a bodyguard, right?

Seeing Andre bring Zhu Yu in, those people first glanced at it vigilantly, and then they obviously showed hostility.

Obviously, everyone knows very well that when you enter this house, there is only one possibility, competitors.

Andre went to the other side of the table, and Meng Kejian whispered to Zhu Yu:

"Mr. Zhu, there are only these people, the auction is about to start, my white jade Ruyi ......"

"I'll take it for you." Zhu Yu said, "The poor money will be lent to you at that time." ”

"That's great! Thank you, Mr. Zhu! Meng Kejian said gratefully.

Zhu Yu has now determined that these things on the long wooden table are indeed genuine.

Especially the penultimate one on the right looks like the golden crown worn by the nouveau riche, which is the golden crown worn by the emperor in the Ming Dynasty!

In the world, in addition to this one, the only one is in China.

National treasure!

However, this national treasure is obviously not very well preserved, there are stains, and there are dents caused by collisions, and it does not look very good.

But that's not a problem!

The things used by the Yongle Emperor, when they are brought back to China, there must be experts who want to repair this thing for free!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yu's heart became hot!

Then I heard the voice in English:

"Alright, friends, now please sit down at the auction, and we'll talk about the rules."

It was the one who had been standing on the north side and had not spoken.

Andrei stood beside him, smiling at everyone.

Obviously, this should be the auctioneer that Andre found.

"My name is Mikhayunov, and I will preside over today's auction. The rules of the auction are simple, the highest bidder wins.

However, we don't want to deliberately raise prices. If something is auctioned and there is no money to pay for it, it will be seen as maliciously disrupting the auction, and I think my friend Andrei will be upset. If he is not happy, then his two brothers will be angry......"

Mikhainov looked at the two strong men with guns on both sides and gave everyone a gesture.

Zhu Yu and the others nodded.

"So, I hope you must hear clearly that we use dollars, and although this damn country is very domineering, their money is still very good......

Well, without further ado, let's go ahead with the auction of the first item, a fine porcelain from ancient China - it is said to be a Ming blue and white ......"

This is a blue and white plum vase, Mikhainov stepped forward to pick up the plum vase and showed the bottom to everyone.

"The Ming Dynasty Chenghua Year System?" Zhu Yu looked at the bottom and nodded slightly.

The most famous in Chenghua is the chicken bowl cup, but the blue and white of the Yuan and Ming dynasties are still very famous, this one is genuine, the official kiln.

"You can come up and have a look." Mikhainov put down the bottle, saw that the others did not move, and thought that he didn't seem to say it before, so he prompted, "But please don't damage the lot, otherwise I don't think you will be able to accept the compensation." ”

Xiao Ri and the stick immediately stood up and stepped forward, obviously they were very interested in this plum bottle.

Zhu Yu didn't move.

Meng Kejian asked in a low voice:

"Mr. Zhu, aren't you going to take a look?"

"The real thing, it's not damaged, I won't look at it."

After watching Xiaori and the stick, Mikhainov glanced at Zhu Yu and made sure that he didn't come forward, and he was a little surprised, but then the auction began.

Andre looked at Zhu Yu and didn't step forward, and a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"The reserve price is $10,000, with a minimum increase of $1,000 per bid." Mikhainov spoke, "The auction begins!" ”

"Twenty thousand." Zhu Yu raised his hand and quoted a price lightly.

Originally, when Stick and Xiao Ri saw that Zhu Yu didn't come forward to look at things, they thought that he would not participate in the auction.

I didn't expect him to be the first to speak!

Andre was also overjoyed, could this Zhu really be a local tyrant? This time, that's where it gets interesting!

Xiao Ri, who did not deserve a name, quickly reacted and immediately raised his hand:

"Fifty thousand!"

Not to be outdone, the stick raised his hand:

"Sixty thousand, sixty thousand dollars!"

Obviously, in his eyes, 60,000, and it is dollars, is already very face-saving.

There are almost two words on the expression: I have already reported so much money, just give me something!

In the same way, he does not deserve a name.

Zhu Yu raised his hand:

"One hundred thousand." It's still a clear offer.

Xiaori and the stick are all here to pick up leaks, and they don't plan to fight to chase high prices, so the next quotation is a little hesitant.

In the end, this first plum vase was won by Zhu Yu for 130,000 US dollars!

In Zhu Yu's opinion, it's really cheap!

The first one got off to a good start, which made Meng Kejian more happy.

The second piece is the jade Ruyi he likes.

"This is a jade thing, it is said to be called 'Ruyi', which was obtained from the Huaxia Palace."

Mikhainov's introduction was very layman, but the people present who were ready to participate in the auction were all members of the Great Chinese Cultural Circle, whether they admit it or not, those two places were influenced by the Great Chinese culture, and they naturally understood this Ruyi very well.

Such a thing as white jade will only be recognized by the Great Chinese Cultural Circle, and in the eyes of foreigners, this thing cannot be compared with something like a gemstone.

So Mikhainov this time, too, gave a low floor price:

"$10,000, the auction starts now!"

"Fifty thousand!" Xiao Ri took the lead this time, which immediately made Meng Kejian nervous.

Not to be outdone, the stick still reported 60,000.

And the small day followed closely and reported 70,000.

The two sides come and go, until the time of 100,000, the stick does not follow.

Zhu Yu slowly raised his hand when Meng Kejian was desperately making his eyes:

"One hundred and five thousand dollars."

Xiao Ri has been guarding against Zhu Yu, and he doesn't have to get his hands on this wish, so he hesitated.

Mikhainov was a little anxious.

Compared with jade, porcelain is naturally more famous in the world.

So Mikhainov didn't think that this white stone thing could be sold for a high price at first.

But now that it has reached this price, he naturally wants to push it, so he said loudly:

"105,000 dollars, that's a bargain! So, is there a markup? Do you have? ”

Little Day, at his instigation, raised his hand and quoted:

"One hundred thousand!"

"One hundred and fifteen thousand." Zhu Yu still followed slowly.

The tug-of-war between the two sides lasted until 155,000 dollars, and finally gave up.

Zhu Yu got the second lot.

rushed to the initial price, Zhu Yu felt in his heart that even if he won them all, it was not impossible.

After all, the price is not high!

The third thing is the jade seal!

When everyone's eyes were staring at this jade seal, whether it was Andrei or Mikhainov, they could feel that the atmosphere in this room suddenly became tense!

Mikhainov glanced at Andrei, and the two of them understood!

This will be a very competitive lot!

Looking at the electric light in the eyes of those three bidders, you can realize it!

"Yuxi, I don't think I need to introduce you. You can take a look at it first, but it's best not to damage it, I think you should understand its value. ”

Mikhainov reminded.

Little Day and the stick immediately stepped forward. Although Xiao Ri was short in stature, his movements were very agile, and he got the jade seal first, and looked at it greedily and carefully and seriously.

The stick was not convinced, but there was no way, after all, there were two guns standing on the side, and it was not easy for him to grab it, so he could only wait.

Zhu Yu still didn't move. But now Xiao Ri and the stick don't plan to despise this one.

By the time the stick was reluctant to put down the jade seal under Mikhainov's threatening eyes, it was already five minutes later.

"Alright, now the auction begins—the starting price, $100,000—and each increase is not less than five thousand!"

The original reserve price was $50,000, which was negotiated between the two of them. But now Mikhainov directly doubled the reserve price, but Andrei did not object, and directly acquiesced.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!" The stick grabbed the lead this time, and he was very proud.

"Two hundred thousand!" The madness of the little day did not fall, and it was even crazier than the stick, and his eyes were red!

Zhu Yu didn't want to fall either, so he raised his hand:

"Two hundred and one thousand."

Xiao Ri and Stick both looked at him with disdain, and then continued to bargain.

In a minute, the price of this jade seal was raised to 550,000 US dollars!

The frenzied frequency of price increases has decreased.

Zhu Yu began to exert force:

"Six hundred thousand dollars!" He raised his hand like this, and Xiao Ri's eyes showed resentment.

The stick glanced deeply at Yuxi, and suddenly lowered his head, which was obviously about to give up.

But Xiao Ri still wants to struggle:

"Six hundred and ten thousand dollars!"

"Six hundred and fifty thousand." Zhu Yu followed.

"660,000 ......" Xiao Ri's face showed a trace of pain, is this Chinese man so rich? Why not give yourself a chance?

This kind of jade seal used by the royal family is obviously the kind of one that is covered with the holy decree, if you can bring this thing back to China, you will become a big celebrity in China overnight!

There will definitely be a large number of people, especially the rich, who will come and beg to see for themselves!

Why doesn't this Chinese man give himself a chance?

Zhu Yu quoted the price again without hurry:

"Seven hundred thousand dollars."

The expression on Xiao Ri's face became hideous, he stood up, and quoted loudly:

"Seven hundred and ten thousand dollars!"

After quoting the price, he glared at Zhu Yu, as if he wanted to make Zhu Yu give up in this way.

Zhu Yu glanced at him contemptuously and continued to quote:

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars!"

This little threat wants to scare yourself? This little day is really underestimating yourself!

Xiao Ri sat down all of a sudden, deflated, and stopped quoting.

The price exceeded André's expectations and he was very happy.

"I suspect that this Huaxia man doesn't have enough money to pay!" The stick suddenly jumped up and spoke, "He took three things by himself, do you need to let him pay first?" ”

His reminder was very rude.

But Andre doesn't care if he is rude or not, someone gave him such an opportunity, how could he not use it?

After all, only the money in your own account is your own money!

Zhu Yu glanced at the stick contemptuously, originally he didn't plan to pay attention to it, but his heart suddenly moved and he agreed.

"Then I'll transfer money to Mr. Andre now." Zhu Yu said, "Then I want to ask, after the account is transferred, can I take these three things?" ”

Andre was a little hesitant at that time, obviously he didn't expect Zhu Yu to ask such a question.

However, Mikhainov next to him reacted very quickly and immediately said:

"Absolutely. However, I suggest that when the auction is over, we will provide you with a more convenient box, so that you can at least keep the lot safe. ”

It seems quite reasonable to say this, Zhu Yu glanced at Andre, didn't say much, turned his head and said to Cao Dalong:

"Dalong, you are optimistic about that plum bottle."

He said to Meng Kejian again:

"Lao Meng, you take Ruyi."

Then he transferred money directly to Andrei.

Andrei was very happy to receive so much money directly, at least now he feels that he is not losing.

Money is real when it's in your hands.

It's just that I didn't expect that after Zhu Yu finished transferring the account, he stepped forward and took the jade seal in his hand, and then checked it:

"It's a good thing!"

Then he grabbed his trouser pocket.

He doesn't think it's big!

Andrei and Mikhainov were a little dumbfounded.

The...... Don't play according to the routine!

How do you play some of the later scenes?
