C4086 World-class Treasure(part I)
"We are already on the high seas." The eagle in front turned around and said.
"Hmm?" Dongfang Qingyu took out his phone and looked at the location. He didn't know when Victoria's secret number had been used on the high seas.
"Victoria's secret is still very fast when everything is going smoothly." The bow and arrow seemed to have seen through Dongfang Qingyu's thoughts.
Dongfang Qingyu still had a lot of questions to ask, but the auction had already started. The first item was the gem on King John's crown.
The Crown of England was famous for its jewelery, the bigger the better, the rarer and the more precious, and it was usually kept in a safe place, heavily guarded, and usually used only for the coronation. The Crown of England had been found after King John of the thirteenth century had fallen overboard and disappeared for hundreds of years while crossing Lincoln Strait.
It was a sapphire, weighing 172.45 carats, and it was expensive to look at, not to mention its implications and historical value.
A few foreign customers who spoke English were the most excited. Their eyes were bright, their faces were red, and they were dancing with joy. Dongfang Qingyu was worried that they would rush up the stage to snatch it.
"They are British businessmen, and they are very angry that their own country's things have been auctioned off." Xia Hongxiu, the college student, was very good at English and acted as a translator for Dongfang Qingyu, the slacker.
Other than bidding, the English were still muttering. Dongfang Qingyu now understood that they were not excited, but angry.
"Do they have any shame?" Dongfang Qingyu was fine if he didn't know the reason, but after knowing the reason, not only did he not feel sympathy, he was even filled with righteous indignation, "How many of our artifacts have been robbed? Their country is one of the culprits. How many of the artifacts that are auctioned off overseas every year should belong to us? We haven't even protested yet, but they have the nerve to complain. They are laughing and joking when they are auctioning other people's things, but when it comes to their own country's things being auctioned off, they get angry. They are too double standard."
"That's right. That's why I hate some Westerners. From the moral point of view, they blame others, and when it comes to themselves, they can't stand it." Lin Zhu Ling felt the same way.
"12 million."
"12.5 million!"
"13 million!"
...
There were many bidders, both foreigners and wealthy merchants, and apart from political factors, the sapphire was truly beautiful. After so many years at the bottom of the sea, not only had it not been corroded, but it had been polished until it was even smoother and smoother. Many women's eyes were shining now, and they wanted to pounce on it. Dongfang Qingyu could be considered a knowledgeable person in the game, but when he saw this sapphire, he couldn't help but feel possessive.
The starting price of the sapphire was one million yuan, and it suddenly increased by more than ten times. The yellow-haired foreigners were a little anxious, and every time they bid, their voices were very loud.
"Twenty million."
"What did that red-haired ghost say?" Dongfang Qingyu asked Xia Hongxiu.
"He said that he must buy the sapphire. It can't fall into the hands of our country," Xia Hongxiu said.
"Arrogant! How can we let him take it back in our territory?" Dongfang Qingyu sneered. Seeing that Lin Zhu Ling was eager to give it a try, he asked: "Do you want to participate?"
"I don't have money." Lin Zhu Ling naturally wanted to participate. It wasn't that she didn't have money, but it was obvious that her value was not enough to bid for a treasure like the sapphire.
"I do!" Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Then I'll call?" Lin Zhu Ling's eyes were very bright, and her expression was filled with pleasant surprise.
"No matter what, we can't let this gem fall into someone else's hands." As soon as Dongfang Qingyu finished speaking, Lin Zhu Ling had already raised the sign in her hand.
"50 million."
The entire auction hall went silent for a moment. Everyone looked to the side to see who was so generous. When they saw that the bidder was a beautiful woman, doubt appeared in their eyes. Lin Zhu Ling was relatively well off in Sanya, but outside of Sanya, not many people knew her.
"Forget it, this sapphire has nothing to do with you." When Cheng Jinyi saw Lin Zhu Ling, he smiled bitterly and stopped his friend who was about to raise the sign.
"Why?" Cheng Jinyi's friend was around thirty years old. His eyes were bright, and his entire body emitted a sharp aura.
"He has money," Cheng Jinyi said.
"I don't know her." Cheng Jinyi's friend said. Even if he wasn't familiar with the top tycoons in the country, he still knew them. However, he didn't have any impression of Lin Zhu Ling. This could only mean one thing: she wasn't qualified to enter the top circle yet.
"Trust me," Cheng Jinyi said.
"51 million." Cheng Jinyi's friend obviously didn't believe it.
"100 million." Lin Zhuling shouted, causing many people who were about to raise their cards to stop.
"One million." Cheng Jinyi's friend gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Two hundred million!" Lin Zhuling did not hesitate at all and directly doubled the price.
"What's her background?" Cheng Jinyi's friend's courage immediately dissipated, and he dejectedly put down the number plate.
"Calm down. Those foreigners should be the ones who should be angry," Cheng Jinyi said.
The foreigners were indeed very angry. This price was something they did not expect. After discussing for a long time and preparing to raise their cards several times, they finally chose to give up. In the end, the sapphire was pocketed by Dongfang Qingyu for 200 million RMB.
The pace of the auction was brisk, and it must have been in a hurry, for before anyone in the hall could discuss it, the second item was brought up. It was a scepter.
On the surface, this item seemed to be a combination of gold and precious stones, but its meaning was far greater than its value. It represented the imperial authority and was equivalent to the Imperial Jade Seal.
Only with this scepter could they represent legitimacy and power. All the foreigners were excited when they saw the Parliament Scepter. Their eyeballs nearly popped out.
"The starting price is 1 million RMB. Let's start." If the host did not repeat his English words, Dongfang Qingyu would like him very much.
"Can I bid for this?" Lin Zhu Ling asked Dongfang Qingyu, her big eyes blinking like stars in the night sky, carrying a trace of anticipation.
"Sure." Dongfang Qingyu actually could not bear to refuse such a pair of eyes.
"Five million!"
"Eight million!"
"Ten million!"
"One hundred million!" Lin Zhu Ling opened her mouth. This was not a show of force, but a show of force. Once she opened her mouth, everyone quieted down.
"Is she from Shanxi?" Cheng Jinyi's friend asked.
"Hmm?" Cheng Jinyi didn't understand what she meant.
"Does she have any mines in her house?" Cheng Jinyi's friend asked. He could be considered a rich man. Eight million yuan was not an ordinary amount, but it was often measured in hundreds of millions. It made his heart jump when he heard it.
In the current economic situation, small goals were not easy to achieve.
"Stop asking. When the auction is over, I'll take you to get to know each other." Cheng Jinyi laughed. This was nothing. When he suffered a loss, it was much worse than this.
"15 million!"
"10 million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"200 million!" Lin Zhu Ling was definitely the most unpopular person at the scene, excluding the host. Every time Lin Zhu Ling called me, the hall would be silent for a few seconds.
"250 million." The foreign devil didn't give up and a man with curly hair nervously bid.
"300 million!" Lin Zhu Ling didn't feel any pressure at all. The curly haired man turned around and glared at Lin Zhu Ling. He was breathing heavily, but there was nothing he could do.
Dongfang Qingyu succeeded in killing two, causing Lin Zhu Ling's blood to boil. A certain factor in her body was activated. After spending 500 million, she wasn't nervous at all. Instead, she was extremely excited. Xia Hongxiu, who was sitting on the other side, was completely dumbfounded. She was calculating how many years it would take for her to earn 500 million.
The third item was a set of treasures. It was made up of 14 pieces of gold, and as soon as possible, it was engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers, flowers, birds, insects, and grass, as well as ancient human agriculture and grazing. These gold pieces were of various sizes, length, and length, and there were even round ones. Dongfang Qingyu did not see how precious they were, but Chang Rongbao, who was in the front row, became excited. He almost stood up and said with a trembling voice, "This is a gold piece from the Ming Dynasty, our treasure. We must get it back, we must!"
"Do you know her?" Dongfang Qingyu asked Xia Hongxiu. Among the three of them, she seemed to be the most knowledgeable. Xia Hongxiu shook her head.
"I don't know. I want to be Teacher Chang." Just as Dongfang Qingyu was about to ask, the auction had already begun. The starting price of 14 gold pieces was also 1 million RMB. This price was obviously not enough to prove the value of the gold pieces. Not to mention the historical value of the gold pieces, just the weight of the gold pieces alone was worth hundreds of thousands.
"Five million," the first to speak this time was the redheaded Jap.
"Ten million." The eagle raised its sign.
"Twenty million." No one knew if it was revenge, but the red-haired Japs were very aggressive this time.
"Thirty-five million." The eagle shouted.
"Forty million." The red-furred monster didn't give in.
"Forty-five million." The eagle was calm, but Chang Rongbao was nervous. Every time the red-furred monster made a bid, he would clench his fist.
"Do you want me to make a move?" Lin Zhuling asked Dongfang Qingyu in a low voice.
Dongfang Qingyu rolled his eyes. Was he addicted to bidding? Fighting with the red-haired Japs for things was to strike down their arrogance. Fighting with their own people for things was called killing each other. This kind of thing could not be done.
The price quickly rose to 89 million, and only then did Dongfang Qingyu realize something strange. The only ones bidding for these 14 gold pieces were the eagle and the red-haired Japs. The others did not make a sound, and he did not know why.
"One hundred million!" The red-haired man raised the price by ten million, breaking the hundred million mark.
