Chapter Ninety-Two: The Auction of All Worlds

When it comes to auction houses, most people will first think of the famous Sotheby's auction house, but this is only one of the more famous auction houses, and most people don't know that Toyama Auction House in Tokyo is called Sotheby's underground auction house.

As the largest industry of the Toyama Gumi, and the most important source of income, it is very much in line with the situation of the Toyama Gumi, and the auction houses on the ground are all legal items, most of which are collectors' collections, and the second son, Suehiko Toyama, who is in charge of the Hakudo business of the Toyama Gumi, is in charge. The hidden auction houses underground are some shady things, the most representative of which are some things brought out of the tomb, that is, the holy place for tomb robbers to sell stolen goods, which is naturally in charge of the underworld business, Toyama Hatsugen, the eldest son.

Above ground and underground, Toyama Auction House sells items in almost every industry in the world, and people from all walks of life can find buyers here, so it is also known as Wanjie Auction House.

Every year in January, Toyama Auction House holds an auction feast, a month-long auction that attracts sellers and buyers from all over the world.

Among them, most of the people from the tomb robbery world are occupied, so it is also called the "New Year's Gold Touching Ceremony", whether it is the captain who steals the treasure and wants to make a move, or the antique tycoon who likes to collect cultural relics, will not give up such an opportunity.

And the reason why Mr. Shota Kataoka, the famous "movie banker", can intersect with the Tokyo underworld is that he often goes here to the underground auction house to find some terrible things.

As Kataoka Shota gets older and older in recent years, the responsibility of participating in the auction house naturally falls on the head of his housekeeper, Kataoka Katsu, and the attitude of the people here towards him is no worse than that of Kataoka Shota himself, on the contrary, he will be more attentive, after all, in their eyes, this middle-aged housekeeper's vision is definitely not as high as that old gentleman, but he has the right to decide on auctioning items.

In a word, it looks so foolish.

When the butler appeared today, the receptionist at the door warmly invited him in, "Mr. Kataoka, you are here today, it is said that all the auctions today are treasures!"

Shiratori Ping smiled and said, "When did you sell not a treasure one day? If it wasn't a treasure that could get into my eyes today, I wouldn't spare you." ”

"Today you are satisfied. As he spoke, the man leaned in and whispered, "Today, China's 'Six Princes' and 'Jade Gold' are here, do you think they can bring ordinary things?"

Shiratori took a breath exaggeratedly, patted him on the shoulder, and walked in with a swagger, the two bodyguards in straight suits and sunglasses behind him also raised their heads with their chests up, and their breath was high.

The answer kept them into a very hidden elevator guarded by four bodyguards.

Entering the elevator, Bai Maxiao asked, "What did that person say in your ear just now, and you reacted so much?"

Shiratori replied, "He said that two well-known people in the world of tomb robbers will come today, and there will be good treasures to participate in the auction at that time." ”

Bai Maxiao frowned, "Do you want to participate in the auction later?"

Shiratori Ping knew what he was anxious about, and said with a smile, "It will take a while for the meeting to end, and we will wait for Ling-sama while we look at the baby." ”

Bai Ma Xiao nodded knowingly, and it was a relaxation to open his eyes while waiting. But Wu Zhi still had doubts, "You asked me to come here today to solve Heiji's matter, but I am alone, even if I come here, how can I confront him?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Watanabe, you'll have a chance to be alone with Mr. Yamaguchi later. Shiratori said with a mysterious smile.

At this time, the elevator door opened, and outside the door was a noisy venue, with a stage in the middle, surrounded by stepped seats, which looked like a boxing match on TV, and the second floor was a wide window, which looked like a VIP box on the second floor, and those rich and bigwigs could sit in the spacious and comfortable rooms on the second floor and watch the auction condescendingly.

At this time, the audience was already full, very noisy and noisy, Bai Mashio's eyes swept around, and asked, "It seems that there are no empty seats." ”

Shiratori smiled and said nothing. At this time, a waiter came over, warmly welcomed the Kataoka butler, and led them up to the second floor.

Bai Ma Xiao thought that he had really never seen the world, and subconsciously wanted to sit with these "civilians" on the first floor, forgetting that Bai Torihei was playing a wealthy chaebol at this time.

The waiter took them around the corridor on the second floor, and finally stopped in front of a private room close to the inside, it seems that there are many nobles who have come today, and most of the private rooms are full of people.

Although mentally prepared, the moment the private room opened, Bai Maxiao still felt that his eyes were about to explode. The decoration here is like the bedroom of a European castle, and in his impression, the room should be furnished, the walls are white, very spacious and deserted, and the luxury is a big deal, the furniture is more expensive, a little better, and there are one or two paintings on the wall. But in this room, the walls are decorated at intervals, not only paintings, but also European-style swords, and even animal specimens, there is almost no vacant space, and the four walls are very luxuriously painted, as if even a small piece of wall that has finally been vacated is a landscape. Not to mention the furniture, which looks like a chair topping a year's salary.

The strangest thing is that this private room actually has a European-style bed, and you can still sleep when you are tired from participating in the auction?

However, he is still too simple, the bed here is obviously for some purpose, after all, there are not a few wealthy sons who come to pick up girls.

Bai Maxiao excitedly walked around the room for a long time, and finally came to the large glass window facing the stage on the first floor, from which he could see the entire first floor, the field of vision was extremely wide, and he was excited, he saw the window of the room next to him, a girl was looking at him in surprise.

The windows of each private room on the second floor of the venue are arranged in a circular shape facing the stage, so that the windows of each private room can be seen in one private room, so that each VIP can see which bidder is during the auction.

Seeing this, Bai Maxiao quickly restrained himself and retreated to the side with a weak heart.

Shiratori Ping and Takeshi sat down in front of the coffee table, and each poured a cup of freshly brewed black tea, just like a comfortable European nobleman, compared to the babbling white horse, the temperament and insight of these two were immediately highlighted.

"Wu Zhi, is this also the territory of the Oriental Union?"

Takeshi replied, "This is the private property of the Toyama Group, but other associations of the Oriental Union often come to support it. For example, Ping Er, who will come today, may also come to cheer. ”

Shiratori interjected, "Every year in the first month, there will be a whole month of cultural relics theme auction here, in fact, it is a feast for tomb robbers to concentrate on selling stolen goods, many famous tomb robbers rely on this month of the year to get the harvest, and there are also many tomb robbers who are famous here, even if you are a new face, as long as you take out a treasure that can calm the whole audience, everyone will remember you." ”

Bai Ma Xiao nodded thoughtfully, "Just like tomb robbers like 'Jade Gold' and 'Six Princes'?"

"The former is true, but the latter has this name ...... 'Six Princes', which means that he is different from ordinary tomb robbers. In the early years, he was a very famous captain who touched gold, and later gradually made a fortune, began to contain tomb robbers from all over the world, and became the leader of a huge tomb robbery group, and even circulated such a saying in the tomb robbery world at its largest: 'There are only two kinds of gold touchers in the world, one is the people of the prince's mansion, and the other is the people who are not from the prince's mansion'. It can be seen how famous he is. ”

It is rare for people like this to rob tombs in their own right.

"What kind of 'emerald gold' is that?"

Shiratori thought for a moment, "He...... Neither. He is the third. Looking at Bai Maxiao with a puzzled face, he continued, "This person has a great reputation in the tomb robbery world, but it is also very bad, basically all the tomb robbers don't like him, it is said that this person has no morality, many tomb robbers have been cheated by him, so almost no peers are willing to cooperate with him, and he has always been alone, and he has stolen a lot of good things." However, his performance does not seem to be very stable, and the most powerful time he took out the original of "Orchid Pavilion Preface", which shocked the entire collecting world. ”

Hearing this, Bai Maxiao immediately blurted out, "?!"Orchid Pavilion Preface"?!"

This diluted treasure, known as the world's first line of calligraphy, has been missing in the official records, and the existing "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is not the original, but the copying work of later generations of calligraphers, although it is also a treasure, but it is not the original after all.

Shiratori Ping was not surprised by his reaction, "That's right, even outsiders like you know the value of this treasure, let alone the collecting world at the time. However, he also has unreliable times, such as once he took out a brother kiln green glazed sunflower petal mouth plate. ”

Bai Maxiao also has an impression of this cultural relic, "I remember seeing this thing on the news when I was a child, as if it was kept in the Forbidden City, and then it was broken." I remember the whole country was shocked, he was fake, right?"

Shiratori said with a smile, "You see, this is his uniqueness, sometimes he will come up with something that even outsiders know is a treasure, and sometimes he will come up with something that even outsiders know is a fake, and his performance is extremely unstable, plus his surname is Jin, people gave him the nickname 'Jade Gold', 'Gold has a price, jade is priceless', he is sometimes jadeite, sometimes it is gold." But precisely because of this, many collectors like this kind of lottery auction, maybe it is a rare treasure, even if he sells fakes, it will be a pleasure. ”

Bai Maxiao thought to himself that this was indeed an unreliable tomb robber, but in this way, he was very similar to seeing what such a tomb robber looked like, and a sleepy-eyed little confused image gradually appeared in his mind.

At this time, the lights outside suddenly dimmed, and the lights on the stage intensified, making everything on the stage stand out in comparison. A woman in a kimono walked up to the stage, without a microphone or microphone, but with a voice that was loud enough for everyone to hear, but not harsh, and the auction officially began.

Shiratorihei came to the window and sat down, while Shiraba and Takeshi stood to his left and right.

"First of all, the first person to display the treasure was the much-anticipated 'Jade Gold', Mr. Kim. ”

really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, just wanted to see this person, and he was the first to play.

When the fat, tiger-headed "Jade Gold" stepped onto the stage, Bai Maxiao rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and after confirming it for ten seconds, he shouted in surprise, "Jin Santu?!"
