After Lu Mingfei entered the hall and saw Ye Xuan being greeted by several people who looked like the management of the auction house, and being escorted to the box, he suddenly became envious.
Envy was just envy. Lu Mingfei began to look for the principal in the hall again, but he was soon disappointed.
Soon after, the guests took their seats one after another and exchanged simple greetings with each other. Lu Mingfei dealt with a few words without embarrassment.
The lobby of the Opera House is not very big, but it is filled with hundreds of people. The crystal chandeliers are extinguished one after another, and finally only the largest chandelier in the center is left on. Waiters in white are walking in the aisles, shaking
Ringing the brass bell in his hand, the voices of the guests chatting among the seats gradually died down.
The curtain shook, and a man in a black tuxedo came out and spoke in a loud voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Sotheby's Directed Auction 2010 Summer Chicago Cultural Tour auction will start in five minutes. I am
This time, auctioneer, please hold your number plate and don’t miss the things you like, because every thing we are going to auction next is unique.” The auctioneer paused, “Now, please.
Close your eyes."
Lu Mingfei was stunned, thinking that the auction had turned into a large-scale werewolf killing game. Ye Xuan, who was high up, looked at the guests with closed eyes below with interest, while taking a sip of the champagne brought by the waiter.
"It's dawn, please open your eyes!"
Everyone opened their eyes at the same time, and hundreds of pairs of golden eyes instantly lit up the hall, like a mythical feast.
Lu Mingfei's heart almost stopped beating. Soon he heard the principal's voice coming from the earphones, "Don't move around, don't look around, and don't say anything."
"But that's... that's gold..." Lu Mingfei murmured in a low voice, with a tiny microphone hidden under his chin.
"Yes, they are all real golden dragon eyes, not masquerades. They reveal their golden eyes to reveal their bloodline. The people participating in this auction are all like us... mixed-bloods, this is a - group
Dragon’s Feast!”
The principal's voice also rang in Ye Xuan's ears. He listened quietly without saying anything and did not light up the golden eyes. In his opinion, this was simply a suffocating operation. He had to turn on the golden eyes for such a long time.
Aren’t you tired? Wouldn’t it be nice to attend the auction quietly?
Ye Xuan turned his head and saw the waiter standing next to him also had a pair of golden eyes. When he saw Ye Xuan looking over, he lowered his head very respectfully and asked.
Ye Xuan shook his head and looked down at Lu Mingfei's position. When he saw that Lu Mingfei didn't light up his golden eyes, he couldn't help but reveal a smile.
"Boy Ye Xuan, why don't you light up your golden eyes?" Principal Ange's words reached his ears at the right time.
"Isn't it tiring to light up the golden eyes? And it's boring. If you don't light it up, you can't prove your bloodline." Ye Xuan asked back.
"Well, that's true."
Lu Mingfei below was stunned for a moment. He knew that Ye Zi had not ignited the golden eyes. He felt confident in his heart and no longer flinched.
Some other guests also noticed that someone in the box above did not light up the Golden Eyes, but they did not say anything.
Then, Lu Mingfei met a guest who came late, and his secret was almost exposed during the communication. The principal came online in time to teach online.
While several people were talking, the auction had officially begun, and the curtain was completely opened, revealing another layer of curtain inside.
The auctioneer's assistant carefully moved the auction items onto the stage, and then the auctioneer introduced the detailed information of the auction items, stated the starting price, and began to let the guests bid.
…
"What we are going to start shooting now is the 'Qing Qianlong Icing on the Cake Wanshou Ruyi Gourd Vase'. This porcelain from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in China is the ultimate expression of the porcelain making technology at that time. It is a royal item manufactured by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It flowed out of China after the Gengzi War in 1900.
It has been kept in the home of a reputable collector in southern Italy, and its history is very clear. A collection similar to this one was sold in Hong Kong for US$17.3 million a few months ago. Other information,
You can find out from the information," the auctioneer scanned the audience, "The starting price is 9 million US dollars, please bid now."
Ye Xuan glanced at the information on all the auction items in today's auction placed on the table next to him. It was a thick booklet, as detailed as possible.
Although I was told not to worry about these looted cultural relics, I still feel very angry when I hear the introduction.
Leaving China is a good idea, but who doesn’t know that the invaders took it away?
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and raised the number plate in his hand.
"20000000."
A faint voice spread throughout the audience, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Just now, the price was still hovering at 15 million US dollars, and now it was 20 million US dollars.
"What a rich man!"
Someone whispered, and everyone couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from. When they saw Ye Hyun's young and scary face in the box, their expressions couldn't help but become weird.
At such a young age, he spends so much money to buy Qing Dynasty porcelain. He is indeed a young man who is stupidly rich.
Just when everyone thought that Ye Xuan was the stupid son of the landlord, the auctioneer saw that no one was bidding. After calling three times, the auctioneer made the final decision.
"make a deal!"
The audience burst into subtle and powerful applause, seemingly congratulating this young and wealthy young man. Ye Xuan raised his eyelids, his face showing no signs of fluctuation.
Lu Mingfei, who was off the court, was already stunned. He asked Ange blankly, "Principal, why did Ye Zi spend 20 million on bidding in one go? He succeeded just once."
"His family is rich!"
The principal's calm voice reached his ears, but Lu Mingfei was already in a trance.
His family is rich!
The family is rich!
Rich!
Money!
ah!
!
These words echoed in his mind, and Lu Mingfei turned to stone.
"The following will be a special part of this auction, as always, 'unexpected encounter'." The auctioneer smiled.
Ye Xuan looked at the stage, knowing that the Seven Deadly Sins were coming, and couldn't help but straighten up slightly.
The auction just now was so boring that he almost fell asleep and his personality collapsed.
Fortunately, the old principal reminded him.
I have to say that this old principal is really good to the students, but he is a little out of character.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan looked at an old man who kept joking with the young woman next to him, and couldn't help but feel a dark streak in his head.
This so-called "unexpected encounter" is actually an auction of special items that are difficult to value. The starting price is generally not high, but occasionally high-priced products will appear, which leads to low prices.
I captured something truly valuable.
"So if you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. How can there be any surprise? Foreigners are really good at playing, and they can choose such a cool name."
Ye Xuan cursed in his heart and looked towards the stage, where a black hard-shell box had been pushed up by an assistant on a trolley. The auctioneer wearing white gloves smiled and held down the lid of the box without opening it, looking around the audience.
