Yang Xiong seems to have really been on a par with Zhu Yu, and raised his hand to offer:

"Three thousand five and a half million!"

This time, others also saw that these two Chinese were on the bar!

Many people watched the two people hold up their cards with the attitude of watching jokes.

Mike was slightly displeased.

Because Zhu Yu provided two rare paintings, and when it was auctioned, he would auction what he wanted, and he would not bid at will if he didn't want to.

Compared with Yang Xiong's high-profile offer, which is almost difficult to hold out to the end, Mike admires Zhu Yu's personality more.

So Mike was not very happy about the price increase for two people - more because of Yang Xiong's publicity.

But then, as the bidding price increased, Yang Xiong felt a little pressure.

"Forty-five million dollars!"

Zhu Yu didn't care about the increased price at all, no matter what today, he knew that he was making a dead profit this time.

Two paintings can bring him a huge amount of income, even if he puts all of it into it, as long as he can exchange the Tiger Cannibal back, it will be worth it!

His money is easy to come by, easy to give away, and his eyes are not blinking.

But Yang Xiong is different!

His money was earned after decades of hard work, doing a lot of things, and then getting it back.

Now he basically has no other income except for his annual pension, so he will find a way to enter certain circles and then find some opportunities to make money.

However, he was really a little hesitant to let him invest a fraction of his assets in the purchase of a bronze that he didn't know if he could keep its value.

After all, it used to be the money of the company group, of course, it doesn't matter, if you make or lose, the company pays for it.

But now it's his own pay, and if he takes out more money, Yang Xiong will naturally be in pain.

When the bidding price rose to 45 million, Yang Xiong had already begun to waver, and he hesitated to shout out the price of "45.5 million".

However, Zhu Yu did not pause at all, and immediately shouted out the high price of "50 million US dollars"!

As if the money in his hand is not money at all!

This made Yang Xiong very depressed!

Yang Xiong had already felt the gazes of the people around him, which made him very uncomfortable.

There was some malice and contempt in this gaze, which made Yang Xiong feel more and more that he couldn't let go of Zhu Yu easily!

He felt that all the malice of others was because of Zhu Yu!

So, he gritted his teeth and quoted a high price:

"Five million dollars!"

When the report came out, although his face was smiling, his heart was dripping blood - this is his pension for five or six years!

I used to think that this year's pension alone was money that ordinary people couldn't earn in a lifetime, which was quite a lot.

But here, you can't buy even a fifth of a bronze!

And that young man who is much younger than himself paid such a high price without blinking an eye!

Yang Xiong now guesses that if he still insists on raising the price, this young man can even report 100 million US dollars!

But for the sake of this bronze, is it worth it?

Yang Xiong doesn't think it's worth it!

Forget it, why fight with this young man? The money is your own, and taking so much money to buy a bronze that may not necessarily be able to appreciate in value is not worth it!

So after quoting this price, Yang Xiong decided that as long as Zhu Yu raised the price again, he would definitely not follow again!

"Five-five million dollars!" Zhu Yu really followed without hesitation, his eyes just looked at Yang Xiong, full of provocation!

Yang Xiong avoided Zhu Yu's gaze and looked ahead.

After more than ten seconds, seeing that Yang Xiong did not speak, and the others stopped talking, Mike felt that it was almost over, so he said:

"Is there anything else you have to offer? If you have it, you will make a price, if you don't, this bronze tiger will eat people, and it will belong to Mr. Zhu Yu! ”

He deliberately translated Tiger Cannibalism as Tiger Eats Man, which caused some people to chuckle.

Zhu Yu's hanging heart relaxed.

Watching the rabbit girl move this national treasure-level bronze statue that was thirty or forty centimeters tall and weighed less than ten kilograms in front of her, Zhu Yu couldn't help but get started.

He first carefully examined the body of the bronze vessel, then took it and put it down, his eyes falling to the bottom, he wanted to see the words written underneath.

The inscriptions on the bronzes are usually engraved on the body or inside.

It is not at the bottom of the object like porcelain.

Like this tiger man-eater, the inscription on the bottom of the bronze is very rare.

Zhu Yu's actions caught Mike's attention, and he did not proceed to the next auction, but asked Zhu Yu:

"Mr. Zhu Yu, have you found something? As far as I know, you are a very good treasure hunter, did you find anything related to treasure at the bottom of this bronze? ”

Zhu Yu shook his head and did not answer.

Regarding Zhu Yu's seemingly rude behavior, some other people showed unhappy expressions on their faces.

The light of jealousy in Yang Xiong's eyes flashed away!

If I can get such a question in front of these people, no matter what, I will seize this opportunity to talk eloquently, and I will definitely not say nothing!

What a waste!

Such a great opportunity!

In fact, Yang Xiong was not like this before. It turned out that when he was the chairman, he met and interacted with CEOs, presidents, or chairmen and general managers of world-class enterprises.

Even some dignitaries from small countries will be very polite when they see him.

But people go to tea and cool, and his reputation in the past two years has not been good, which led him to leave his post to know that the truth that seemed to be very transparent on others before is so difficult to understand in his own place!

originally thought that even if he took a back seat, with his connections and the prestige he had accumulated before, even if it was on Lao Mei's side, it should be no problem to mix up in a first-class society.

As a result, in order to avoid some possible after-autumn reckoning, I found that few people paid attention to me after running here!

The principle of the supremacy of the interests of the capitalist red fruit fruit is vividly demonstrated here!

I am useless to those people, no one will use those beautiful words to compliment myself, and no one will treat myself with the same respectful attitude as before.

He was unwilling, so he asked a former friend to do everything possible to enter the first-class circle.

He believes that with his ability, as long as he enters this circle, he will be able to do something again!

In the past, he absolutely did not think that it was achieved by squeezing out others, using state-owned resources, and applying for preferential policies, as the outside world said.

That's what he's capable of!

It's just that now he can't even enter this circle!

And Zhu Yu has such a good opportunity, but he doesn't use it at all, what a waste!

Hate!

Mike saw that Zhu Yu didn't say anything, and he didn't get angry, so he turned his head and asked Joe:

"Joe, it turns out that this bronze is in your hands. So do you know what's down there? ”

Joe thought for a moment and said:

"I remember that there were six pictures or words under it, but neither the experts I hired nor the Internet could find out the meaning of these six words."

Mike suddenly realized and looked at Zhu Yu:

"Could it be that Mr. Zhu Yu knows the meaning of these six words?"

At this time, Zhu Yu had already finished reading those six words, he raised his head and said:

"This inscription is the base of this bronze, mainly to say the name of its original owner and why this bronze was cast."

"Six words, you can express so much meaning?" Mike was a little shocked, "Can you tell me?" ”

"I'm just guessing, and we still need to ask our domestic oracle experts in Huaxia to identify it." 朱羽 says:

"So I won't talk about it now. But for the record, this isn't some treasure troop information—

If the treasure information was so obvious, I think Mr. Qiao would have gotten the treasure a long time ago. ”

When these words came out, the others also laughed, expressing their agreement with Zhu Yu's last sentence.

Indeed, all people must be very interested in treasure information.

It is true that there are treasure maps of pirates, ancient generals, and World War II treasures in this world, but there are very few real treasure maps.

Nine out of ten of those that come to the market are false, and even if a very small number of them are true, the information in them is confusing.

Coupled with the difference between the text of the map in the past and the understanding of people now, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack if you want to rely on these things to find treasure.

"Alright, let's move on to the next auction......"

Mike finally remembered what he was doing and started the next round of auctions:

"The next item to be auctioned is a huge rough pink diamond from South Africa, which weighs 125 carats!"

At this moment, the attention that was originally focused on Zhu Yu was immediately attracted away.

Mike waited for the bunny girl to bring up the plate with the diamonds, snapped his fingers, and a beam of light fell directly on the rough diamonds.

Even if it hasn't been polished yet, the diamond is already shining brightly under the light!

"As we all know, diamonds are not a scarce resource." Mike leaned on the table and talked:

"It's just that it was fired at a high price. However, large diamonds, especially collectible diamonds with hundreds of carats, are still worth buying and have a high retention rate! ”

People at their level basically understood this truth, so everyone looked at the pink diamond with some eagerness.

However, Zhu Yu just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

Today, the purpose of his visit has been achieved, and the next thing is to see how much he can gain from the last painting.

For the rest, he felt that it was not as good as the things in his own space, and it didn't matter if he bought it or not.

To Zhu Yu's surprise, the enthusiasm of the bidding for pink diamonds was almost comparable to Monet's painting.

The next few things were auctioned off a little more peacefully, after all, everyone's enthusiasm was limited.

"Well, I know you're getting a little impatient, you see, Joe is hungry and starting to eat snacks."

Mike's voice is as humorous as ever:

"Then, I won't delay everyone's time, let's have the last auction!"

As soon as I heard the last item, everyone came to the spirit.

Including Zhu Yu.

"It's a painting......"

As soon as I heard that it was a painting again, those who had not been able to photograph Monet's paintings before immediately became happy!

The painting that can be used as the finale is naturally more valuable than Monet's painting, or in other words, the painter's reputation is higher than Monet's!

Mike glanced at everyone for a moment, then said in an impassioned voice:

"You guessed it right! To be able to finalize it is enough to show the value of this painting - then I will not whet everyone's appetite, this painting is by the great painter Picasso - its name is: "The Eye of War"! ”

Almost everyone immediately started talking loudly, and then their eyes were fixed on the box that the bunny girl had brought up.

The bunny girl cautiously opened the painting.

They knew very well that the value of this painting would not be worth selling them a hundred times.

Carefully placing the painting on the table, they stepped back, and Mike said:

"Okay, if you're interested, you can go up and have a look, and after reading it, we'll start the auction."

"Boom!"

Almost everyone couldn't wait to walk up, gather around the painting, and look at it carefully.

Mike wasn't worried that the people would damage the painting, so he just let them look at it.

These people are also very well-behaved, looking at it, they didn't get started. At most, it's just a few praises.

Picasso's paintings are very abstract, such as "The Eye of War", which is painted like an alien's eye, and there is more than one.

The people in the paintings are small, but their eyes are large, some of them are glowing, and some of them are dripping with poisonous water.

More are unclear.

But these people looked very interested.

Zhu Yu pursed his lips, he found that Yang Xiong was also among them, and he was talking to the people on the side, and he seemed to be very knowledgeable.

It's just that the admiring expression on his face makes Zhu Yu feel that he may not be in vain in this regard!

"Okay, okay, you've seen it too, go back to your seats. The auction is over early, and we can have a cold lunch party early - you still have something to eat, and I haven't even taken a sip of water here......"

Mike's resentful voice caused everyone to laugh.

The onlookers returned to their seats, and Mike couldn't wait to say:

"Well, the last lot is from Picasso's famous painting "The Eye of War", with a starting price of $50 million – now the auction is open!"

"Five-five million dollars!" The first to ask for the price turned out to be Jensen, who hadn't spoken much.

And as soon as he opened his mouth, the price increase was five million!

However, many people did not buy it, and after two seconds of Jensen's bidding, Joe was not to be outdone and immediately raised his hand:

"Five thousand eight million dollars!"

Others reacted and began to offer, and for a while, it was very lively!

Zhu Yu didn't expect that the auction of Picasso's paintings would be much more steady!

Maybe there is a fame bonus, maybe it's because of the finale, the last one, some people who haven't photographed anything can't help but shoot.

Zhu Yu himself is curious, what price can this painting fetch in the end?

Everyone present, except for Zhu Yu, was asking for a price from time to time.

Including Yang Xiong, he also understands at this moment that if he doesn't make a move, then not only will he not gain anything at this auction, but his behavior will be almost the same as that of a clown.

He didn't think that when he was looking at Picasso's paintings just now, the friend who brought him over reminded him in a whisper, and he realized that every time he was the first to ask for a price, he didn't buy it in the end, which made his character questioned.

That's definitely not going to work!

After Yang Xiong suddenly realized, he reacted, and he was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf!

If you hesitate any longer, you will really lose your chance!
