Thomas's words reminded the bidders of an expensive commission, and hesitated slightly. But the temptation of the huge economic benefits of the peerless painting "Mona Lisa" made these already crazy people still fight hard.

In the end, the Mona Lisa was sold for 541 million to someone who was already an international antiquities trafficking syndicate. He signed a huge Swiss bank cashier's check on the spot.

In order to be insured, Chen Xi asked for a phone transfer on the spot to transfer the money to his account in a Swiss bank. I was relieved to hand over the Mona Lisa to the person who was blushing from the audience. That person seemed to have gone through a big battle, and he was a little out of strength.

But "Mona Lisa" still made the man very excited, he felt that this was definitely a good business, which would inevitably become something he could show off for the rest of his life, and if it could be sold in the future, it would be something to be proud of, and it would also bring him a lot of dividends.

Thomas had dealings with these groups, so he was in no hurry to force them to pay commissions.

With the Mona Lisa in hand, Thomas began bidding for Madonna of the Rocks.

Although the dust has settled on the first protagonist, "Our Lady of the Rocks", which is the second protagonist, has not been drowned. Although it is not as attractive, its price point is set at a much lower level, and more guests are competing for it.

The few groups that did not compete for the "Mona Lisa" naturally did not let go of another famous painting, and they competed fiercely again. Because of the promotion of more people, it finally sold for 174.5 million US dollars. This is already a very surprisingly high price in the formal auction industry, but because of the "Mona Lisa" in front, it makes people feel that it is not very expensive.

This price is far from the Mona Lisa. But Chen Xi was already very satisfied. Delivering the money in the same way, Chen Xi threw off the two burdens.

The last remaining Bibles were left unattended, and the rest of the guests began to stare at the remaining relics again.

suddenly had more than 700 million US dollars, which had almost made Chen Xi float to the sky, and he didn't care if the book could be sold for 100,000 yuan. Since no one wanted it, he put the book away.

"Thank you, Mr. Thomas, for giving me such an opportunity, and thank you even more for not taking my commission." After all the transactions were completed, everyone began to drink and congratulate. Chen Xi said to Thomas with a smile.

"Where, where, thank you so much. It is wonderful that I have today, and I have achieved the most brilliant auction of my life. ”

Thomas said it easily, but when he thought of tens of millions of commissions, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh. However, he quickly realized that he had nothing to lose, if it weren't for Chen Xi to bring something. You don't make much money on your own. Although he has earned tens of millions less now, he has already reached his head by several thousand, which is due to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi didn't stay long. Now that the matter is over, I will immediately say goodbye to Thomas and William.

Many high-priced art collectors don't want their identities exposed, and they trade privately, even more so. The influence of "Mona Lisa" is too great now, and Chen Xi doesn't want to get into trouble because of the news leaked by these people in the circle, so he doesn't want to have too much contact with them, so he chooses to leave immediately.

When driving away, Chen Xi didn't dare to be careless, and asked Amut to pay attention to whether anyone was following.

Shellis was very happy. "Oh my God, I can't believe that those two paintings are worth more than 700 million! How many companies can be acquired by 700 million! ”

Chen Xi was also very happy, but he was still a little disappointed, if he could hang these two paintings in the Forbidden City in Beijing, he would rather not have the 700 million US dollars. But now it's a foregone conclusion, don't think about it. This 700 million yuan will be of great help to the plan of his charitable foundation, which can help many vulnerable groups in need in China.

"I didn't expect to be able to sell so much, but I finally threw this trouble out, and they are what the French will be looking for in the future." Chen Xi said with a smile, at this moment, he has calmed down, as he said last time, when the money reaches a certain level, he will not be so sensitive and excited, it is just a book number.

"Someone is following us." Amut whispered.

Chen Xi and Shellis were a little surprised, but they both thought that someone would follow them, so they didn't have anything to worry about.

"Who is it? Everyman? Or are you your opponents? Chen Xi asked briefly, and he drove the car faster.

Amut shook his head, "It's strange, it's not Egyptian, but it's not an ordinary person, it seems to be a member of the church. ”

"People from the church?"

Chen Xi and Xue Lisi glanced at each other, a little surprised.

"What church? Catholic or Orthodox? In the past, Chen Xi thought that the people of the church belonged to the Catholic Church under the jurisdiction of the Vatican Holy See, but now he knows that the Orthodox Church is also a not weak force.

He tried to recall what Plato had said before, as if the United States was the land of Catholicism and Christianity, and that the Orthodox Church had no power on this side. Christianity (also known as Protestantism and Protestantism) advocates direct communication between believers and God, weakening the role of the clergy. The church in the United States should be Catholic, is it the previous bishop?

"How do I know what church it is?" Amut muttered, but said nothing.

Chen Xi slowed down a little, his divine thoughts shot out, and searched the surroundings, although he hadn't seen where those people were, he had already felt several not weak forces following behind.

He thought about it for a moment, smiled and said, "Shall we take them to the Statue of Liberty?" It's good to fight there. But now we are rich, and our worth has increased greatly, and our bodies are expensive. Don't be careless when the fight starts, don't let yourself get hurt. ”

Hearing Chen Xi's words, Xue Lisi guessed that the person chasing should not be weak, so she was also secretly careful. In the past few days, she has also absorbed a lot of flint energy, her body has become more fit, and the energy in her body has also become much stronger. She found that the stronger her energy, the more powerful she was to exert the helmet.

Chen Xi drove the car to Liberty Island, west of Manhattan and at the entrance to New York Harbor. This big guy who was given to the United States by the French stands here, her full name is "Statue of Liberty National Monument", and the official name is "Lady Liberty Shining on the World".

The goddess wears a radiant crown with her lips closed, wears a loose Roman robe, holds a torch several meters long to symbolize freedom in her right hand, and holds a copper plate in her left hand, on which is engraved with Roman numerals the date of the Declaration of Independence - July 4, 1776 AD, with broken chains scattered on her feet, and her right heel raised in a progressive form. And its dignified and plump body resembles an ancient Greek beauty, which makes people feel intimate and natural.

It was night, and the light from the base of the statue shone upwards, reflecting the goddess like a pale blue jade carving. The light shining from the window hole of the goddess's crown seems to decorate the goddess's head with a string of golden lights, making it a spectacular night scene.

"What kind of place is this? How did you play such a tall woman's statue? Amut said in surprise when he saw the huge statue.

Shellis smiled and said, "This is the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom and democracy!" ”

Looking at the beautiful night scene of the goddess statue, Shiris pulled Chen Xi a little intoxicated, "I've lived in New York for so long, I haven't come to see it at night, it turns out to be much more beautiful than during the day." ”

Chen Xi looked at it and said: "It's not good at all to be cold during the day, and it fits well with this busy and depraved place." Now under the light, it is a little more mysterious, a little gentle, and a little melancholy. ”

Amut snorted, "Isn't it just a rough stone woman?" What's the big deal, believe it or not I demolished her? ”

Shellis was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Amut, don't mess around, it's the time of the Air Force's strict investigation, and if we are discovered, it will be troublesome." ”

Since the World Trade Center was struck, the Statue of Liberty has been closed and closed to the public, and now they can only wait and see.

"Come on, what kind of air force is strictly investigated, that's an excuse for the military to ask Congress for money." Chen Xi smiled and said, "Why don't those terrorists hit this statue of freedom?" I really suspect that these terrorists have anything to do with your president. ”

Although Shiris is an American, the St. Ann tribe has never been included in the territory and jurisdiction of the United States, they are all self-governing primitive tribes, and they have no feelings for the United States. Hearing Chen Xi's words, she couldn't help but be very curious, "Why do you say that?" How can a president unite with terrorists against himself? ”

Chen Xi sneered and said: "Politicians can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. The current president has been an incompetent puppet for so long. Now, as soon as something like this happens, say something tough, and public support will immediately skyrocket; The vice president, who was in charge of the power, was sent to protection, and finally took real power, and under the pretext of fighting terrorism, Congress had to give as much money as he wanted, otherwise the Air Force would not patrol. Other people are hurting, only he has gained so many benefits, this lack of virtue, it is very likely that he and others have joined forces to do it, it should be a win-win ......"

"Hey! What are we here for? Amut said coldly, "The enemy has come, and they are still chatting here!" ”

Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders, grimaced at Xuelisi, and said with a smile: "We just want to be relaxed and paralyze the enemy!" Dude, don't really ruin this woman's statue, if you don't rush the Americans, you have to leave behind the hard work of the French! ”

Amut didn't say anything more, and he went into a state of alert.
