Chapter 74: A Strange Iron Pimple
The auction continued, and one by one the expensive and extravagant auction items were bought, but Ye Feng didn't make any more moves.
Until a strange auction item appeared and attracted Ye Feng's attention.
"Next up is the twenty-first lot, a mysterious object!"
The auctioneer said, beckoning to a young woman below, and the woman immediately came up with something.
The words of the beautiful auctioneer made the people present curious, a piece of unknown things? What is it exactly?
In general, the auction house will do an appraisal of the items auctioned, the type, price, function, and so on.
At this time, the beautiful auctioneer said that it was a mysterious object, which could not help but arouse the curiosity of the audience.
In the expectation of everyone, the auctioneer stepped forward to uncover the red cloth, which was a cube with mysterious black lines, which looked like an iron lump, no more than ten centimeters in length, width and height.
It looks very ordinary, and there is nothing special about it.
"It's an unknown object, very hard, harder than anything we know now, including diamonds!"
"In addition, our experts even tried to cut it with a laser, but they couldn't hurt it in the slightest! According to experts, this thing may not be something on Earth, it is likely to be some kind of meteorite or something extraterrestrial! β
"Okay, don't say much, if you are interested, buy it and have fun, the starting price is 500,000! Each increase must not be less than 10,000! Auction begins! β
However, after the auctioneer's words were finished, no one bid, and everyone looked at this thing.
Ye Feng was also watching from the side, there was nothing special at first, it seemed to be very ordinary, it looked like a piece of black iron with some lines engraved on it.
After watching it, the people present were also disappointed.
"Damn! What the hell? β
"That is, this iron lump is worth 500,000?"
"I have 500,000 yuan, and I buy a lump of gold that is bigger than this, isn't it fragrant?"
The people around them showed their dissatisfaction one by one and made a loud noise.
However, as Ye Feng looked at it for longer and longer, he slowly had a strange feeling, as if his spiritual power had been sucked in, which made people feel dizzy.
Ye Feng shook his head and continued to look carefully, at first it was still the same, looking plain on the surface, there was nothing special about it.
But as time went on, the dizzying sensation slowly returned.
At this moment, Ye Feng's whole body suddenly shook, and the dantian shook violently again, and the vibration was very strong, unprecedented.
As if something was about to rush out, Ye Feng hurriedly closed his eyes and breathed, which was barely suppressed.
"Diyi, take a picture of this thing!" Ye Feng said suddenly.
Di Yi didn't pay attention to this thing originally, but when he saw Ye Feng say this, he couldn't help but glance at that black iron bump-like thing a few more times.
However, after looking at it for a long time, he still didn't feel anything, and couldn't help but wonder: "Young master, what are you doing with this thing?"
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just have a strong premonition, this thing is not simple!" β
"Okay!"
Although Di Yi is puzzled by this, 500,000 is a drop in the bucket for the Long family, and it is insignificant.
Seeing that there was no one bidding at the scene, the beautiful auctioneer showed a look of regret, and when she was about to take it back, she opened her mouth.
"Five hundred thousand!"
As soon as this voice came out, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, and when people saw that it was the person in the middle of the second floor shouting, they all showed shock.
Even the young man upstairs looked surprised, but didn't move.
"The gentleman in the private room on the second floor bid 500,000 yuan, does anyone else offer a higher price?" The beautiful auctioneer asked.
But the audience was silent, and a fool would spend 500,000 yuan to buy a useless iron lump.
"Well, congratulations to this gentleman! Take a picture of this mysterious object for 500,000! Finally, the black, lumpy thing was slapped down on the ground.
When the things were delivered to Ye Feng's private room, the strange feeling became even stronger.
Ye Feng took it to his front and studied it for a long time, but he didn't find anything special, and finally threw it aside and studied it.
The auction came to an end a short time later, and the things auctioned were getting rarer and more expensive.
"Next, the last two finale items of our auction!" As soon as the beautiful auctioneer finished speaking, the audience set off a frenzy, and cheers were everywhere.
Obviously, most of the people came for the latter few things.
"The penultimate lot is a famous painting by a famous Dutch painter!" When the auctioneer said this, he suddenly stopped, deliberately whetting the audience's appetite.
"Famous Dutch painter?"
"Who, is it Van Gogh?"
"Van Gogh? Which painting exactly? β
The people below listened, and they were all excited and discussed.
The beautiful auctioneer looked at the discussion below, and then continued: "That's right, I believe many people have guessed that it is the famous painting of the famous Dutch painter Van Gogh!" β
"But I guess you won't be able to guess which of his paintings it is!" The auctioneer said again.
When the people below heard this, they immediately shouted loudly one by one.
"It's Starry Night!"
"Fart, "Starry Night" is also called "Starry Night", and it is now in the Museum of Modern Art in New York!"
"That's supposed to be Sunflower!"
"It could also be "The Wheat Field Where the Crows Fly"!"
"Or maybe "Starry Sky on the RhΓ΄ne", "CafΓ© at Night" ......"
Ye Feng looked at the people below and was speechless.
Because their speculations are simply unrealistic, the portraits they are talking about are still on display in famous museums in various countries at this time.
"Van Gogh's paintings are now fetching sky-high prices, and it is impossible for those paintings in museums to be auctioned! Most likely, two masterpieces, "Seascape of Scheveningen" and "Leaving the Church of Nieernen", were stolen from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, more than a decade ago. β
Ye Feng thought in his heart.
The auctioneer watched from the stage as the people below speculated, shouted out the names of various works, and finally shook his head and announced the names of the works.
"You all guessed wrong, the paintings you were talking about are still in museums in various countries at this time! This time, the auction item is actually "The Seascape of Scheveningen"! β
"It was a mysterious seller who didn't want to reveal his name and was in urgent need of money, so he put it up for auction! The starting price is 50 million! Each increase must not be less than one million! The auction begins! β
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, he immediately remembered a series of exclamations on the spot.
"The starting price is as high as 50 million, what a concept!"
When people listened to this terrible price, they fell silent in an instant.
But only Ye Feng and a few others shook their heads, the value of this painting definitely exceeded this price.
You must know that Van Gogh's paintings can be sold abroad for tens of millions of dollars, which is equivalent to a terrifying price of hundreds of millions of yuan.
After a brief silence, there was an immediate shout.
"Fifty-five million!"
"Sixty million!"
"Sixty-five million!"
