The farm is relatively small. Apart from the trees and a small vegetable patch, there is only a row of five bungalows.
The house is made of thick logs, giving it a quaint and primitive feel.
"Those things that need to be auctioned are here in the bungalow hall." Meng Kejian introduced it to Zhu Yu as he walked, and at the same time answered some of Little Andre's questions in Russian.
Then Andre looked at Zhu Yu, his eyes a little complicated and the meaning was difficult to understand.
Zhu Yu didn't care about this. Now walking towards the farm bungalow, Andre led the way, talking to Meng Kejian from time to time.
Zhu Yu is on the right side of Meng Kejian, and Qin Fei is on the right side of Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu moved his hand to his waist. Inadvertently, he had a Glock pistol in his hand, and he handed it to Qin Fei.
Qin Fei calmly took the gun and inserted it into his waist.
Then he went to the left and touched Cao Dalong. Cao Dalong immediately went to Qin Fei's position, and Zhu Yu also handed him another gun.
All these actions were completed while Andre and Meng Kejian were chatting, without being noticed by the other party at all.
When handing over the gun, Zhu Yu's eyes were still looking at the window of the wooden bungalow in front, making sure that no one was looking outside.
After following Andre into the bungalow, Zhu Yu probably understood why no one was observing the outside.
There was a rotten smell in the bungalow that had not been inhabited for a long time. Although it was very dull, Zhu Yu could smell it.
This is no longer popular. Such a house can easily decay.
Fortunately, someone had cleaned it recently, so the smell was very weak.
The living room upon entering was not large, with tables and chairs, but Andre did not let them stay here, but led them directly to the next room.
The room next to it is twice the size of the living room, and there is a long table in it at the moment.
On the long table were placed a dozen of the things Zhu Yu saw in the cell phone video.
A national treasure!
There were two big old men standing on both sides of the long table, with their hands folded on their lower abdomens. They both had guns on their waists, and they looked very intimidating.
At this time, in addition to the two bodyguards, there were six people in the room.
Another old man stood in the innermost position against the wall, with his hands crossed and silent. Zhu Yu guessed that this person should be Andre's confidant, right?
Then on this side of the long table, there are four chairs arranged in a fan shape.
In addition to the four Zhu Yus, there were five other people in the room.
These five people were divided into two groups, each speaking a different language.
As soon as he heard the voice, Zhu Yu had already concluded that there were three Japanese people and two sticks among them.
Coupled with the fact that I am Chinese, well, the three countries of East Asia are all alive.
Zhu Yu immediately opened his eyes, and then saw that one of the Japanese and a stick had guns on them.
This should be a bodyguard, right?
Seeing Andre come in with Zhu Yu, those people first looked at him warily, and then showed obvious hostility.
Obviously, everyone knows that after entering this room, there is only one possibility, a competitor.
Andre went to the other side of the table, and Meng Kejian whispered to Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, there are only these people. The auction is about to begin. My white jade is Ruyi..."
"I'll help you get it." Zhu Yu said, "The difference will be lent to you when the time comes."
"That's great! Thank you, Mr. Zhu!" Meng Kejian said gratefully.
Zhu Yu was now certain that the things placed on the long wooden table were indeed genuine.
Especially the second to last one on the right looks like a golden crown worn by the nouveau riche. This is exactly the gold crown worn by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
Apart from this one, the only one in the world is in China.
national treasure!
However, this national treasure is obviously not well preserved. It has stains and dents caused by collisions. It doesn’t look like it’s in very good condition.
But this is not a problem!
When the things used by Emperor Yongle are brought back to China, there must be many experts who want to repair them for free!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yu's heart became hot!
Then I heard an English voice:
"Okay, friends, please sit down and let us talk about the rules."
The one who spoke was the one who had been standing in the north and said nothing.
Andre stood beside him, looking at everyone with a smile.
Obviously, this should be the auctioneer Andre found.
"My name is Mikhailov, and I will host today's auction. The rules of the auction are very simple, the highest bidder wins.
But we don’t want to intentionally raise prices. If you take something and don't have the money to pay for it, it will be considered a malicious disruption to the auction, and I think my friend Andre will be unhappy. If he is unhappy, his two brothers will get angry..."
Mikhailov looked at the two strong Russian men with guns on both sides and gave a signal to everyone.
Zhu Yu and others nodded.
"So, I hope everyone must listen clearly to the auction. We use U.S. dollars as the unit. Although this damn country is very domineering, their money is still very good...
Okay, without further ado, let’s proceed with the auction of the first item, a piece of exquisite porcelain from ancient China - it is said to be Ming blue and white..."
This was a blue and white plum vase. Mikhailov stepped forward, picked up the plum vase, and showed the bottom line to everyone.
"Ming Dynasty Chenghua Year System?" Zhu Yu looked at the bottom of the payment and nodded slightly.
The most famous one in Chenghuanian is the chicken jar cup, but the blue and white ones from the Yuan and Ming dynasties are still very famous. This one is genuine, from the official kiln.
"You can come up and have a look." Mikhailov put down the bottle and saw that the others were not moving. Thinking that he had not said it before, he reminded him, "But please don't damage the lot, otherwise I don't think you will be compensated. I’ll definitely accept it.”
Xiaori and Bangzi immediately stood up and came forward. Obviously, they were very interested in this plum bottle.
Zhu Yu did not move.
Meng Kejian asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Zhu, don't you go and take a look?"
"It's a real thing, it's not damaged, so I won't watch it."
After Xiaori and Bangzi finished reading, Mikhailov glanced at Zhu Yu and made sure that he would not step forward. He was a little surprised, but then the auction started.
Andre saw Zhu Yu didn't come forward, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"The base price is 10,000 U.S. dollars, and each bid will increase the price by no less than 1,000 U.S. dollars." Mikhailov said, "The bidding begins!"
"Twenty thousand." Zhu Yu raised his hand and quoted a price casually.
Initially, when Zhu Yu didn't come forward to look at anything, Bangzi and Xiaori thought he wouldn't participate in the bidding.
Unexpectedly, he was the first one to speak!
Andre was also overjoyed. Is this Zhu Zhen a rich man? Then this time, it will be interesting!
The little boy who didn't deserve a name quickly reacted and raised his hand immediately:
"fifty thousand!"
Not to be outdone, Bangzi raised his hand:
"Sixty thousand, sixty thousand dollars!"
Obviously, in his eyes, 60,000 US dollars is already a lot of face.
There are only two words left on the expression: I have already paid so much, just give me the stuff!
Likewise, he does not deserve a name.
Zhu Yu raised his hand:
"One hundred thousand." It was still Yun Dan Fengqing's quote.
Xiaori and Bangzi both came here to pick up the missing items, and had no intention of chasing the higher price, so they were hesitant to make the next quotation.
In the end, Zhu Yu won the first plum vase for US$130,000!
In Zhu Yu's opinion, it's really cheap!
The first one got off to a good start, which made Meng Kejian happier.
The second item is the jade Ruyi he likes.
"This is something made of jade. It is said to be called 'Ruyi'. It was obtained from the Chinese imperial palace."
Mikhailov’s introduction was very unprofessional, but those present preparing to participate in the auction were all members of the Greater China cultural circle. Whether they admit it or not, those two places were influenced by the Greater China culture, so they naturally understand this Ruyi. .
Only the Greater China cultural circle would recognize things like white jade. In the eyes of foreigners, this thing cannot be compared with things like gemstones.
So this time, Mikhailov also gave a low base price:
"Ten thousand dollars, the auction starts now!"
"Fifty thousand!" Xiaorizu took the lead this time, which immediately made Meng Kejian nervous.
Not to be outdone, Bangzi still reported 60,000.
And Xiaoli reported 70,000 immediately.
Both sides went back and forth, until the stick stopped following when it reached 100,000.
Zhu Yu then slowly raised his hand while Meng Kejian winked desperately:
"One hundred and fifty thousand dollars."
He had been guarding against Zhu Yu when he was young. He didn't insist on getting this Ruyi, so he hesitated.
Mikhailov was a little anxious.
Compared with jade, porcelain is naturally more famous internationally.
Therefore, Mikhailov did not think that this white stone could be sold at a high price at first.
But now that the price has reached this price, he naturally wanted to give it a push and said loudly:
"One hundred and five thousand dollars, this is a very cheap price! So, is there any increase in price? Is there any?"
Under his encouragement, Xiaori raised his hand and made a quote:
"One hundred and ten thousand!"
"One hundred and fifteen thousand." Zhu Yu still followed slowly.
The tug-of-war between the two sides continued until it reached US$155,000, and Xiaori finally gave up.
Zhu Yu got the second lot.
At the initial price, Zhu Yu felt that even if he could get them all, it wouldn't be impossible.
After all, the price is not high!
The third thing is that Fang Yuxi!
When everyone's eyes were fixed on Fang Yuxi, both Andrei and Mikhailov could feel that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense!
Mikhailov glanced at Andrei, and the two of them understood!
This will be a highly competitive lot!
You can feel it just by looking at the lightning in the eyes of the three bidders!
"Yuxi, I don't think I need to introduce it. You can go up to the stage to take a look first, but it's best not to damage it. I think you should understand its value."
Mikhailov reminded.
Xiaori and Bangzi stepped forward immediately. Although Xiaori was short in stature, he was very agile in his movements. He got the jade seal first and looked at it greedily but carefully.
Bangzi was unconvinced, but there was nothing he could do. After all, there were two men with guns standing nearby, and it was difficult for him to grab it, so he could only wait.
Zhu Yu still didn't move. But now Xiaori and Bangzi no longer intend to despise this person.
It was already five minutes before the stick reluctantly left the jade seal and put it down under Mikhailov's threatening eyes.
"Okay, now the auction begins - starting price, one hundred thousand US dollars - each increase will not be less than five thousand!"
The original base price was US$50,000, which was discussed between the two people. But now Mikhailov directly doubled the reserve price, but Andrei did not object and directly acquiesced.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!" Bangzi got the upper hand this time and was very proud.
"Two hundred thousand!" The craziness of Xiaozhi didn't stop, and it was even crazier than the stick. His eyes were red!
Zhu Yu didn't want to be left behind, so he raised his hand:
"Twenty-one thousand."
Xiaori and Bangzi both looked at him with disdain, and then continued to bid.
In one minute, the price of this jade seal was raised to 550,000 US dollars!
The frequency of crazy price hikes has dropped.
Zhu Yu started to exert his strength:
"Six hundred thousand dollars!" He raised his hand like this, with anger in his eyes.
Bangzi took a deep look at Yuxi and suddenly lowered his head, obviously planning to give up.
But I still want to struggle a little in my childhood:
"Six hundred thousand dollars!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand." Zhu Yu followed closely.
"Six hundred and sixty thousand..." There was a trace of pain on Xiaozhi's face. Is this Chinese so rich? Why not give yourself a chance?
This kind of jade seal used by the royal family is obviously the kind used to stamp imperial edicts. If I can bring this thing back to the country, I will become a big celebrity in the country overnight!
There will definitely be a large number of people, especially the rich, coming here begging to see it!
Why doesn't this Chinese guy want to give himself a chance?
Zhu Yu quoted the price again without any hurry:
"Seven hundred thousand dollars."
The expression on Xiaori's face became ferocious, he stood up and quoted loudly:
"Seven hundred thousand dollars!"
After quoting the price, he glared at Zhu Yu, as if he wanted to make Zhu Yu give up in this way.
Zhu Yu glanced at him contemptuously and continued to quote:
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars!"
Do you want to scare yourself with this little threat? I really underestimated myself in this little life!
Xiaori suddenly sat down, frustrated, and stopped quoting.
The price exceeded Andre's expectations and he was very happy.
"I suspect that this Chinese guy doesn't have enough money to pay!" Bangzi suddenly jumped up and said, "He took three pictures by himself. Do I need to let him pay first?"
His reminder was very rude.
But Andre didn't care whether he was rude or not. Someone gave him such an opportunity, why couldn't he use it?
After all, only the money in your own account is your own money!
Zhu Yu glanced at the stick with disdain. He originally didn't intend to pay attention to it, but suddenly his heart moved and he agreed.
"Then I will transfer the money to Mr. Andre now." Zhu Yu said, "Then I would like to ask, after the transfer, can I take away these three things?"
Andre was a little hesitant at the time, obviously not expecting Zhu Yu to ask such a question.
However, Mikhailov next to him reacted very quickly and said immediately:
"Of course. But I suggest you wait until the auction is over and we will provide you with a more convenient packaging box, so that you can at least ensure the safety of the items."
This seems quite reasonable. Zhu Yu glanced at Andre, said nothing, turned to Cao Dalong and said:
"Dalong, take a good look at that plum vase."
He then said to Meng Kejian:
"Lao Meng, take Ruyi."
Then he transferred the money directly to Andre.
Andre was very happy to have received so much money directly. At least now he felt that there was no loss.
Money is real when it comes to your hands.
Unexpectedly, after Zhu Yu finished transferring the money, he stepped forward and took the jade seal in his hand, then weighed it:
"It's a good thing!"
Then he put it in his trouser pocket.
He doesn’t mind the size of this thing either!
Andrei and Mikhailov were a little dumbfounded.
This guy... doesn't play by the rules!
How do you perform the subsequent scenes?
