"Sir, we can make an instant transaction and the money and goods will be cleared. You give me the painting and I will transfer the money to you immediately."
Andre seemed to have noticed Mo Wen's suspicion and said with a smile.
Jiang Siyin and Yang Ting's faces were uglier than bitter gourds for a moment, and they secretly cursed Mo Wen for being so lucky. Originally, they thought that although Mo Wen defeated them, he also lost hundreds of millions of money, so they felt somewhat comfortable.
Who would have known that an heir to an Italian wealth family would show up halfway and be willing to buy the painting for a high price of 60 million US dollars. This would mean not losing a penny, and he might also be related to the president of the Fiat Group.
Needless to say, there are benefits to being friends with such people. Even if they want to get to know such a business giant, they have to rely on fate.
"You are a very upright person and you don't look like a bad person. Forget it, I will trust you for once."
Mo Wen nodded. The white man had just spoken to them, and he liked it, so he threw the painting in his hand to the white man.
Andrea hurriedly caught the authentic work of Leonardo da Vinci and looked at Mo Wen with some complaints. He was so casual about the master's original work. In the eyes of Italians, Leonardo da Vinci's paintings are national treasures.
"Mr. Mo Wen, please give me your account and I will transfer the money to you immediately."
Andre took out a computer from his side and quickly logged into his bank account. If Andre's identity was true, there would be no problem in transferring 60 million US dollars immediately with his identity; whether it was Jiang Siyin or Yang Ting,
Compared with this world-famous tycoon, he is not even the slightest bit worse.
"No need to go to such trouble, you can just send the money to our national charity organization in China later; of course, in the name of my wife Shen Jing."
Mo Wen waved his hands and said, since he was going to donate the money anyway, he might as well ask Andre to do it for him.
"Why do you trust me so much?" Andre looked at Mo Wen in surprise.
"I just said that I believe you, and you don't dare to blackmail this money." Mo Wen said with a smile.
"Mr. Mo Wen is indeed courageous. You are a true philanthropist."
Andre nodded slightly. Mo Wen was right. He didn't dare to blackmail the money. Unless his identity was fake, his reputation would be greatly damaged. Of course, 60 million US dollars was far from enough to attract him.
Wrong thoughts.
The auction continues, and one auction item after another is placed at the front desk for auction. Most of them are ancient cultural relics with historical significance and collection value. In some countries, it is illegal for this type of ancient cultural relics to be sold in private auctions, but it is illegal to put them in private auctions.
On the high seas, of course no one can control it.
Mo Wen discovered that many of the auction items at the auction came from China, at least one-third of the Chinese ancient cultural relics, and many people were keen on it. Every time an item appeared, there would be many people bidding, and there would almost never be any.
The situation of failed auctions.
Shen Jing watched one piece after another of Chinese cultural relics flow overseas, and sighed slightly. Domestic tomb robbers have been rampant for many years, and many national cultural relics are lost every year; often a cultural relic is sold at a low price from cultural relic dealers.
Then it appeared at auctions abroad, causing some wealthy patriots to buy it back at exorbitant prices. As time went by, a large amount of money fell into the hands of foreigners.
Mo Wen didn't have any big thoughts about those things. The things he regarded as valuable were different from those of ordinary people, and his values were fundamentally different, so he didn't have any deep emotions.
"Next, a cultural relic from ancient China will be auctioned. This object has a history of at least three thousand years and is ancient. Although there is no specific record, such ancient cultural relics are very rare in previous auctions."
On the auction stage, there is a strange bronze statue with a human body and a snake tail, seven hands on the back, and two hands on the chest, holding a flying snake in both hands.
The shape of the bronze statue is very weird, like the monsters in myths and legends. It has a strong historical atmosphere, and everyone can feel the antiquity of its era.
The starting price of this bronze statue is US$2 million, which is far lower than Leonardo da Vinci's paintings. But it is normal. Although this object is very old, the collection value of antiquities does not only depend on how old it is. Some things, no matter how old they are, are
Not worth much.
The value of ancient cultural relics generally lies in the role it played in history. For example, the value of a bowl used by the emperor is far higher than that of ordinary bowls. For example, the value of blue and white porcelain, which represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship of an era, far exceeds that of its age.
Ordinary porcelain from time immemorial.
Leonardo da Vinci's works involve the Renaissance era in the West, and he himself is a world-famous scholar and a rare great painter. Therefore, every one of his works is priceless today.
The starting price of US$2 million seems far lower than that of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings, but among cultural relics, the price is actually quite high. After all, although the bronze statue is ancient, no one knows its past and future, and no one knows its
It has almost no historical significance and fame, and its collection value is naturally greatly reduced.
The reason for such a high starting price is not only because of its age, but also because it is likely to be related to ancient religious beliefs and some myths and legends.
If you can investigate its specific origins and understand the role it played in history, its value will increase exponentially. This is also its charm, and it is enough to be placed at auction for bidding.
"Are you interested in that bronze statue?"
Shen Jing looked at Mo Wenwen curiously, because she found that after the bronze statue appeared, Mo Wen's eyes had been focused on it.
"That's a statue of a god, something that people worshiped in ancient times."
Mo Wen said lightly. He could feel a strange aura on the bronze statue. He couldn't tell what it was, but he had seen similar phenomena before. In that life, the statue of the founder of the Shendan Sect was
It also has a similar atmosphere.
The statue of the Patriarch is worshiped day and night. As time goes by, it is far from an ordinary statue. However, it is impossible to know what the changes have been. After all, his status in Shendan Sect is too low and his knowledge is limited.
There are so many things I don’t know.
"A statue of God? It doesn't look like a god at all. Instead, it looks like a monster."
Shen Jing looked at the bronze statue in surprise. It was half human, half snake, with three heads and six arms. It was extremely weird.
"Then what do you think makes you like a god?" Mo Wen took Shen Jing's hand and said with a smile.
Shen Jing thought about it seriously and found that this question seemed impossible to answer, because she had never seen God, so how could she know what God looked like.
"If you really don't have a reference, you can use me as a reference." Mo Wen said with a dry smile.
"Smelly! I only cooperate with you because I think I'm crazy." Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Mo Wen.
At this time, the bidding for that strange bronze statue has begun. The competition is not very fierce and tepid. Most of the prices are increased by tens of thousands to tens of thousands; after all, the starting price of 2 million is already very high. A person who doesn’t understand
There are not many people who are willing to take this risk. There are only a few people who like to hunt for novelty, and there is a limit.
"3 million!"
Mo Wen rarely participated in the bidding. He didn't know much about this bronze statue, but his intuition told him that this thing was not simple and might have some unexpected value. Even if it has no value, it doesn't matter. Money can buy things.
There is nothing to lose to him.
When Yang Ting saw Mo Wen bidding, she wanted to cause trouble, but after a second thought, she gave up. Because she had realized that in terms of financial resources, she was probably not as good as Mo Wen, and she was probably no match for her. And she was not sure about Mo Wen either.
She didn't dare to raise the price randomly because of her attitude towards this thing. If Mo Wen suddenly stopped wanting it, she would be on the verge of tears.
As a person in the business world, she must always remain rational, especially when it comes to money. If she can afford it, she dares to fight, and if she cannot afford it, she dare not mess around. The same is true, Mo Wen 6000
When Wan bought the painting, she immediately stopped and did not fight any further.
The competition for the bronze statue was not big. As the price rose, fewer and fewer people competed. In the end, only two people were left bidding. When Mo Wen increased the price to US$4 million, the other person also gave up completely.
compete.
"Aren't you very interested in that bronze statue? Why did you give up?"
In a corner of the auditorium, two young men were sitting. Their temperaments were very cold, so cold that one did not want to approach them.
"That bronze statue is a bit unusual, you should be able to feel it." A young man glanced at his companion and said calmly.
"But I'm not interested in it." Another young man shook his head.
"So I gave up. You should know that this kind of thing may not have a simple origin, but it may not have any effect, and may even cause unexpected trouble." The first young man said indifferently.
"Then don't worry. What's so special about that thing? Wouldn't it be a pity if we missed the treasure?"
"Henry, I think that instead of fighting for an unknown thing that may even cause harm, it would be far more meaningful to kill you and swallow your treasures and blood."
A flash of blood flashed in the first young man's eyes, and he looked at his companions with a sinister look.
"Les, you are so disgusting. You actually want to suck my blood. Is my blood as delicious as the blood of a beautiful virgin? Everyone in the Bruch family is indeed a pervert."
Henry looked at his companion with disgust and moved his body deliberately, as if he didn't want to get too close to him.
"Henry, if you provoke me again, you will pay a price; please don't forget the mission of our trip. Apart from that, anything else is insignificant. I don't want to provoke that terrifying young man. If you continue to stir up trouble,
Don't blame me for being ruthless."
Les said coldly, he knew very well what this companion was thinking.
The words they spoke were not understood by anyone around them. Not only was they not in English, they were not even in any known language in the world.
"Les, I always thought you were an idiot, but I didn't expect you have a good sense." Henry chuckled. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, you
