Chapter 257 Accidents are always more than surprises
Thinking of this, Feng Yu couldn't help but take a breath. If this was really the case, it would be too fucking unexpected. What kind of woman is Bai Manman? Feng Yu felt an inexplicable fear.
Bai Ran on the side looked at it more seriously. The Bai family could not be a simple opera family. Maybe like the Feng family, they made their fortune by stealing and fighting.
Zhang Xiuxian looked very excited. He pointed to Feng Yu and said to Feng Yu with a pale face: "It seems that we have come to the right place."
When the lights came on again, bidding had already started. The starting price of the Jade Ghost Seal was one hundred thousand taels of silver. What was the concept of one hundred thousand taels of silver? It was enough to equip a well-equipped army. Zhang Xiuxian said that the Bai family had donated supplies, but it was only
Fifty thousand taels. How dare you ask for a hundred thousand taels of silver for this small piece of jade? Isn't this obviously a robbery?
There were soon bids below, 120,000, 140,000, 160,000.
Feng Yu secretly cursed in his heart, these people are really fucking big. The poor people outside are starving to death. How can there be such elegance here? No matter how bad an era is, there will always be upper-class exploiters.
The flower shelves, this place is a gathering place for the rich, and it is indeed a well-hidden auction house.
Just when Feng Yu was thinking about all this, Cao Cao, who was on the front plate, raised his hand with a red card, which meant that I have to order this thing. No matter how much the people behind you increase the price, I will always bid you 10,000 taels higher.
This is something that only Pan Cao dares to do. If you want to give it to someone else, you will definitely not be so heroic. Of course, the price increase is not arbitrary.
For example, if this Jade Ghost Seal exceeds the starting price by more than eight times, it is classified as much ado about nothing. Even if someone dares to raise the price to 790,000, then no one knows what will happen to him when he walks out of the auction house. How can this place fight to the end?
Or strength.
Pan Cao is a veteran in the industry. After he raised the red card, everyone present stopped bidding. Pan Cao's reputation has a place in the capital. There are very few people who would not give him face. That would be of no benefit to anyone.
And Pan Cao's action just proves that this thing is not fake, and Pan Cao's vision has never been wrong.
It only took less than half an hour for Pan Cao to win the first auction item at the price of 200,000 taels of silver. Think about it, it is extremely luxurious. If you spend 200,000 taels of silver to buy this thing, you can go back.
, my father and second uncle will definitely kill themselves. It’s not that the Feng family can’t afford two hundred thousand taels of silver. After twenty or thirty years of business, the Feng family has a lot of wealth, but having money is not
Such a flower.
When Zhang Xiuxian saw the ghost seal falling into Pancao's hands, he sighed and said: "Damn it, that guy is so cruel. Pancao hasn't shown up for several years, but when he appears there is a huge battle. If I had known he was here, I would have called me uncle."
Here he is, in his dreams
I want to meet Pan Cao."
Feng Yu replied: "These days, is there anyone whom Uncle Lu can't recognize?"
"Hey, what I said is true. From the military headquarters to the chamber of commerce, my uncle can really handle it all. If nothing else is possible, this is the key to making friends." Zhang Xiuxian extended a thumbs up.
In the eyes of his nephew, Lu Guangcheng still has some abilities.
Bai Ran didn't know why, so he snickered, raised the corners of his fair mouth, and asked, "May I ask your uncle's name?"
"My nickname is Lu Guangcheng Lu San'er."
Bai Ran replied, "It turns out to be Mr. Lu, and my father had a relationship with him."
Feng Yu sighed in his heart, Lu Guangcheng is still very good, he can even compete with the Bai family who are singing operas, but there is anything in the world that he can't do? I'm afraid that even with the emperor on the throne, others can climb the dragon and the phoenix.
Feng Yu asked: "Xiuxian, you may have to ask your uncle to show off his connections this time. Could you please find out who the seller is at this auction?"
"Don't think about it. The sellers here will not disclose any information. Chiayi Auction House has a very strict confidentiality agreement. No matter who comes, it is impossible to ask." Bai Ran said calmly.
Zhang Xiuxian didn't believe this evil, "Hey, you don't know something about this. There is something called an impossible challenge in this world. Why is my uncle a respectable person who has a third of an acre in the capital? The Crescent Hotel knows that, he is very used to it.
, I’m not bragging, but if you want to inquire about people in Beijing, there is really no one you can’t inquire about.”
Bai Ran grew up in the capital, "Chiayi Auction House had many royal family members and dignitaries come to sell items during the Qing Dynasty. For hundreds of years, nothing has ever happened. Now that it is run by foreigners, it is even more secretive."
It's not airtight. If you can really inquire, I guess the young master of the Feng family will have to go to the Yongding River to fish you out. These days, the price of fishing out corpses in the Yongding River is not cheap. You'd better save your worries and give your uncle to him later.
Get in."
Feng Yu knew that what Bai Ran said was true and probably not an exaggeration. Such a big auction house would definitely not be able to operate without some means and backing.
Zhang Xiuxian said more seriously, "What the hell, I still don't believe in evil."
Feng Yu pulled him away. This guy was obsessed with saving face. If something really happened, Feng Yu would be guilty of a big crime. Zhang Xiuxian's mother was still at home.
"Xiu Xian, I don't think so. We'd better be more careful. Do you think the seller is here? If the identity of this seller is exposed, he might cause a lot of trouble. Besides, we know very well where that thing comes from.
Yes, just know it in your heart." Feng Yu winked at Zhang Xiuxian, and Zhang Xiuxian understood.
Bai Ran glanced at the two of them in confusion, with a haughty look on his delicate face.
Several beautiful women suddenly came up on the auction stage.
Because the first item was auctioned too quickly, a dance performance was added in the middle. Several beautiful women performed a dance that Feng Yu couldn't name. It seemed that it was specially prepared for certain people. He was born in Bai Ran.
Coming from an aristocratic family, his taste and cultivation made his eyes focus on the woman's dancing posture instead of her butt and thighs.
After the warm-up session, the female auctioneer walked onto the auction stage, and the lights dimmed again. She did not introduce the item below too much, but directly went to the staff to push it out. Good things often don’t require too much.
The weight and status of words can be known with just one glance.
It was a whole copper-skin figurine, exactly the same as what Feng Yu saw in the Immortal King's Palace. The surface of the copper skin was slightly oxidized and fell off naturally. From the outside, this copper-skin figurine was much more complete, with many places missing.
Detailed carvings can still be seen on the copper skin, and a layer of green copper nutrient is attached under the feet.
Feng Yu was very surprised. The value of this bronze figurine was much higher. The copper skin had no trace of damage and was completely wrapped. If Feng Yu guessed correctly, there should be wax inside the copper skin.
The corpse is the one. The living bronze figurine refers to the living body. Could it be the wax corpse inside?
Feng Yu held his breath. There was a small commotion in the audience at first, and then it slowly turned into an uproar. It was estimated that no one present had ever seen such a thing.
The female auctioneer began to explain: "Living bronze figurines, from Mangus in Northeast China."
The female auctioneer didn't say much, but picked up a stethoscope used by foreign doctors, put one end on the bronze figurine, and the other end on the microphone. Then, a weak sound came from the speaker, and everyone
There was no sound for a moment.
What came from the loudspeaker was a "dong-dong" heartbeat. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed that there was a heartbeat in the bronze-skinned figurines. Feng Yu froze on the spot, feeling that this was really unbelievable.
How could it be alive? Who could be the person here?
Feng Yu's brain reaction told him that there would be no one else but the Feng family who could make human figurines underground in the Immortal King's Palace. Could the one on the stage be his ancestor? This feeling is really amazing.
.
The female auctioneer put down her hand and said: "The starting price is two hundred and fifty thousand taels." Then she made a gesture to indicate that the bidding could begin. The surrounding lights suddenly lit up, and the uproar sounded again.
I have heard of auctions of various things before, but I have never heard of auctions of living figurines. Chiayi Auction House really dares to auction anything. Feng Yu is very impressed.
At this time, Pan Cao, who was sitting under the stage, raised his fist. Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Feng Yu was a little confused and asked what he meant.
Zhang Xiuxian replied: "Damn it, the lights are on and the venue is booked."
