Compared to the people on the first floor, those in the private rooms on the second and third floors are the truly powerful people. Appetizers like these in front will naturally not attract their attention.
Whether it is abroad or in China, there is a tradition in auctions, that is, for every ten items, there will be one that is relatively heavy. This is also to attract everyone's interest and appetite. After all, it is just an appetizer.
It can also easily make people feel bland.
"Boss Zhuo Yun, the fun is about to begin now." Seeing Zhuo Yun's careless look, Dao Feng said with a smile.
Zhuo Yun, who had participated in several auctions, naturally knew this trend. Hearing Dao Feng's words, he nodded with concentration.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the center of the auction table rose again, revealing the purple nanmu table. On the table was an object fifty or sixty centimeters high, which was still covered in red.
silk scarf to completely cover it.
"What on earth is this!" Everyone present focused their attention on it, and some people's breathing became rapid.
The red silk scarf was opened, and under the light, a golden light flashed, making people focus on the people above. They only felt a golden glow in front of their eyes. They quickly closed their eyes and waited for a moment to adapt before opening them again.
Open your eyes.
"What a majestic Buddha statue!" Through the tablet in front of him, Zhuo Yun could clearly see the Buddha statue on the purple nanmu table, and secretly marveled in his heart.
This Golden Buddha is not a traditional Buddha statue. Traditional Buddha statues generally have benevolent eyebrows, but this Golden Buddha has angry eyebrows and a murderous aura all over its body. It is so lifelike that it looks like a living King Kong with angry eyes and a powerful and domineering aura.
"This Angry-Eye Vajra Buddha Statue is a genuine pure gold Buddha statue inherited from India. It is of immeasurable value. It was originally intended to be used as a treasure at the bottom of the box. After some deliberation, it was auctioned as the first piece of gold.
Item." The white man in charge of the auction on the auction table said with some excitement.
Hearing the words of the white man, Zhuo Yun also had a look of astonishment on his face. He originally thought that the golden Buddha was just a gilded Buddha statue, but he didn't expect that it was actually pure gold. What he wanted in the end was that this Buddha statue was actually a hidden one.
Buddha statue.
The so-called concealment is a technique derived from Buddhism in ancient times. When shaping a Buddha statue, it is estimated that a hollow Buddha statue is cast, and then a hole is made at the bottom or other location to store valuables such as gold, silver, and jewelry.
Put it inside and then block the entrance of the hole. From the outside, it will not look any different from ordinary Buddha statues that are not hidden.
"This hidden golden Buddha has been identified by professionals and has never been opened. It is a complete hidden golden Buddha. As for what is inside, because of the material of the golden Buddha, even with current technology
It cannot be detected, and in order to avoid damaging the Golden Buddha, it has not been dismantled manually."
"The auction is going on now. The base price of this hidden golden Buddha is three hundred thousand US dollars!" the auction man shouted loudly, looking at everyone present with stern eyes.
The enthusiasm of everyone present was suddenly ignited. Not to mention the various treasures that may appear in the hidden golden Buddha, the value of this pure gold golden Buddha alone, plus its historical value, is definitely far more than one hundred thousand US dollars.
Even if there is no treasure inside, it is still a good deal to buy back this mighty and domineering Vajra Golden Buddha.
Almost at the same time that the auction man finished shouting, the various quotations on the big screen began to rise rapidly. From the initial base price of 300,000, it increased to 500,000 in the blink of an eye. The price climbed.
The momentum has not slowed down at this moment.
"These guys are really crazy!" Zhuo Yun secretly admired when he saw the prices flashing on the screen.
Everyone present is a wealthy person, and half a million US dollars is nothing to them. The bidding naturally keeps rising, and the US dollar keeps rising like a blank sheet of paper. It seems that the US dollar has become worthless.
"750,000 US dollars. Guest No. 28 bids 350,000 US dollars. Is there anyone who bids higher?" The white auctioneer shouted loudly on the auction stage.
The number of U.S. dollars that was constantly refreshing on the big screen stopped at 750,000 U.S. dollars, with the number 28 displayed next to it.
Seven hundred and fifty thousand U.S. dollars is already considered a large amount, and converted into Chinese currency, it is enough to reach five or six million. Although there are probably many more valuable treasures inside the hidden golden Buddha, it is only possible. Who
I am not 100% sure that the things inside are really precious treasures, so the price is considered relatively high.
However, Zhuo Yun still underestimated the purchasing power of everyone, and soon the price of 750,000 US dollars was refreshed again, this time it jumped directly to 800,000 US dollars.
"Good guy, the amount of money suddenly increased by 50,000 US dollars. What kind of person is this? He is so generous."
"Idiot, didn't you see what was displayed on the big screen? It was the price paid by the person in Box 9."
"Box No. 9, isn't that the box where the Huaxia Chu family is located? I didn't expect that since they embraced the Morgan family, they not only solved the group's crisis, but also became so generous in their actions."
"Idiot, keep your voice down, you don't want to mess around. If someone from the Morgan family hears it, we will both be in trouble. It's not like you don't know how domineering the Morgan family is."
The two people in front were muttering quietly, and one of them quickly stopped his companion's words, glanced around, and continued to stare at the auction table pretending to be nonchalant.
The two of them talked in laughter and murmured, thinking that no one else around them heard them, but in fact their words reached Zhuo Yun's ears clearly.
Originally he didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two, but when he heard that the Chu family was involved, he paid a little attention. Unexpectedly, he got a lot of information, enough for him to think about it carefully.
Through the conversation between the two, he could basically determine that the Chu family must have had some kind of crisis before, which put the group in a precarious state. Later, he embraced the Morgan family, which solved the group's crisis and created the current situation.
A generous move.
Why did the Morgan family come from a group in China? At this moment, Zhuo Yun could only think of one possibility, and that was the relationship between Chu Meier and Witt.
"Could it be that there is no real relationship between Sister Mei and Witt? The reason why she wanted to marry Witt was for her group family." Thinking of this possibility, Zhuo Yun felt a slight pain in his heart.
With this thought in his mind, he suddenly realized that when he met Chu Meier, she was obviously very excited and happy when she first saw him, but in the blink of an eye she became cold and unfeeling. Maybe she was really
There is some hidden secret.
"Whether it's for the Chu family or for other reasons, I have to ask him face to face. Only in this way can I give up." A touch of determination flashed across Zhuo Yun's eyes. If not for it, he would still have to pass this auction.
, after getting what he wanted, he could not wait to go to Chu Meier immediately to ask for details.
While Zhuo Yun was thinking secretly in his mind, the fight to hide the golden Buddha finally came to an end, and it was finally purchased by the box where the Chu family was located for US$850,000.
What surprised Zhuo Yun was that the auction seemed to be conducted in series. After the gold Buddhas were auctioned, the auction items shifted from porcelain and goldware to celebrity calligraphy and paintings.
After ten famous calligraphy and paintings were auctioned, another authentic work by Tang Bohu appeared. It is said that someone has been collecting a picture of eighteen beauties that has never been published. It is a hand-painted picture of eighteen long beauties of national beauty and heavenly fragrance by Tang Bohu.
, not only did the painting look lifelike, but its value was immeasurable. It was eventually purchased by another person in the box for US$800,000.
Zhuo Yun had no interest at all in these famous calligraphy and painting antiques. If he had been interested before, he would not have given the national treasure-level cultural relics to Leng Ji and the others. He could have just thrown away the ink himself.
Just when Zhuo Yun was a little disappointed, he auctioned off the Eighteen Beauties, and the items auctioned next made his eyes light up, and he secretly admired that this time it was not in vain.
After auctioning the literati's calligraphy and paintings, the next step was the long-awaited auction of various precious medicinal materials, including shaped Polygonum multiflorum, century-old ginseng, and some weird herbs from the hot rainforest.
Compared with the previous auctions of antiques and famous people’s calligraphy and paintings, the auction of medicinal materials was undoubtedly not that enthusiastic among the people present. After all, foreigners’ understanding of medicinal materials was still limited and they did not have much interest. Only some wealthy businessmen from China
will be interested.
How could Zhuo Yun, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, let others auction off these good things? He decisively started auctioning all the precious medicinal materials. Except for a few items that were of no use to him, most of them were bought by him.
In total, it cost more than one million US dollars.
Dao Feng and others beside him secretly marveled when they saw Zhuo Yun's lavish spending behavior. In the past, they only knew that Zhuo Yun was rich, but they didn't expect that he was so rich, nearly 10 million Huaxia coins. They just threw it away.
"Hehe, Boss Zhuo Yun, you are so rich, why don't you help me as a poor person? I don't want more, just give me one or two million US dollars. Then you can do whatever you want." The blade was raised as he spoke.
He looked so coquettish that Zhuo Yun's brows twitched. If he hadn't considered that this was an auction venue, he would have really wanted to kick this guy out.
Soon the auction of the ten auction items was completed, Zhuo Yun did not care about arguing with the blade, and focused his eyes on the auction table with interest.
According to the previous model, the items to be auctioned next should also be a series of medicinal treasures, and they will far exceed the previous ones such as Polygonum multiflorum and so on.
Soon, under Zhuo Yun's expectant gaze, as the auction table slowly rose, a plant about one meter high appeared in his sight.
"What is this? Isn't the auction deceiving people? This is obviously an ordinary small tree, but it can also appear at an auction of this level."
"Yes, there is nothing strange about this tree. Is it a money tree? If you shake it, gold will fall out."
After seeing the plant, the wealthy people present expressed their dissatisfaction, and some even directly questioned the purpose of the auction.
Not only everyone present, but even Zhuo Yun didn't see anything different about this tree. It looked just like any other small tree in the woods. Whether it was color or other aspects, it was almost invisible.
Any manifestation of value.
"The auction shouldn't bring an ordinary plant." Guessing secretly in his heart, Zhuo Yun turned his eyes to George behind him.
George has the ability to sense plants. If there is something special about this plant, George is undoubtedly the person who can sense it.
George understood it and immediately closed his eyes and carefully felt the plants placed on the platform. His expression was calm at first, but later became a little weird.
"Sir, this plant is not simple. I can't sense it clearly because of the distance, but I can tell that this plant contains powerful energy." George lowered his head in a respectful manner and whispered.
There was strong curiosity in his eyes as he looked at the plants on the auction table in the distance.
Hearing George's words and the curious look in his eyes, Zhuo Yun understood that there must be an unusual secret inside the seemingly ordinary plant. Now that he has George by his side who knows how to control plant powers, if he buys this plant
, maybe the secrets can be unlocked.
"This plant was found in the Amazon rainforest. It doesn't look strange from the outside, but it has magical abilities. As long as the plants within a hundred meters around this plant, their growth rate will be higher than that of plants in other places.
It is much better, and if you plant medicinal materials, you will be able to shorten the maturation time of the medicinal materials to half. And after experiments, it was found that some patients with cancer can obviously find out if they live within a hundred meters of this plant for a period of time.
The spread of cancer cells has been suppressed, and even the condition of the cancerous areas has improved greatly."
The people who originally questioned and criticized the appearance of this plant immediately screamed in surprise when they heard the words of the white auctioneer on the auction stage.
No one will question the credibility of the auction. After all, this is an auction jointly organized by Morgan and other major families. There is no need to deliberately lie for this small amount of money. This will not only be of no benefit to them but will also affect them.
their reputation.
After all, for major families, reputation is more important than money to a certain extent.
Even Zhuo Yun, who had some guesses about this plant, was also surprised when he heard the auctioneer's narration, and his curiosity about this plant became even more intense. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature,
