Zhu Yu had already put up the jade seal. Since Andre's little idea was still mostly unphotographed, he couldn't implement it directly now, so he and Mikhailov looked at each other and chose to put it aside first. put.
Zhu Yu acted as if nothing was wrong. After putting the jade seal away, he sat there, waiting to continue the auction.
Bang Zi and Xiao Ri next to them stretched their necks, waiting for Zhu Yu to take out the jade seal and take a look at it——
But how could Zhu Yu let them get their wish?
He sat there calmly, looking at Mikhailov, waiting for him to speak and continue the auction.
Mikhailov, like Andre, originally thought that Zhu Yu was a big fool who could be beaten hard.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't play according to the cards and directly messed up their plan, making it impossible to continue.
There is nothing Mikhailov can do, so continue.
"Okay, now that Mr. Zhu's funds have been confirmed, Mr. Jin should be satisfied. Next, let's continue the auction..."
This Mikhailov is still quite insidious. Before the auction, he did not forget to provoke customers and remind Zhu Yu that the capital verification was proposed by Mr. Bangzi.
Zhu Yu smiled slightly, knowing clearly in his heart.
"Okay, the next item to be auctioned is the fourth item, a pair of "Qianlong's Hunting Patrol" painted by the famous court painter Lang Shining during the Chinese Qing Empire."
This painting is a long scroll, about two and a half meters long and half a meter wide when unfolded. The painting is relatively delicate.
Zhu Yu glanced at it and saw that it was indeed genuine.
But he wasn't interested in this stuff.
"Come up and have a look. You can look, but you can't do anything..."
Mikhailov reminded him, and Xiaozhi and Bangzi rushed forward again.
Zhu Yu still didn't move.
But everyone didn't care, they were almost used to it.
After you sit down, the auction begins.
"The starting price is ten thousand US dollars, and each increase will be no less than one thousand US dollars... Let's start!"
Xiaori and Bangzi spoke almost at the same time:
"Twenty thousand!"
Mikhailov was stunned for a moment, but he reacted very quickly and immediately pointed to Xiaori and said:
"Mr. Hashimoto, your bid was a little slow, please bid again!"
"Twenty-five thousand dollars!" Qashixia immediately changed the price.
Bangzi was not to be outdone. He was afraid that if Zhu Yu made a bid later, nothing would happen to him, so he immediately spoke:
"Thirty thousand dollars!"
The two of them kept going back and forth, and the price was raised to US$110,000. It was too late to raise the price anymore.
Bangzi was proud of himself, but then he became anxious.
When I was young, Qiao Xia was thinking in his heart, I will let you be proud now, wait a while, the Chinese rich man will ask for a price, no matter how high you raise it, it will be in vain.
Bangzi had the same thought. He turned and glanced at Zhu Yu, thinking that just now he had provoked Andre to verify Zhu Yu's capital. How could he be so stupid?
Just one sentence, Tu was quick to talk for a while, but now he may have to pay tens of thousands of dollars more, and he may not even be able to take a photo!
But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Yu closed his eyes slightly and just looked at the stage, as if he had no idea at all about the current auction!
This made Bangzi overjoyed - but he felt that it wasn't that Zhu Yu didn't like the painting, but that he might have some ideas, so he was distracted and ignored the matter.
Isn't this just right?
Bangzi immediately turned his head and looked at Mikhailov.
Mikhailov is also looking at Zhu Yu - in his opinion, now is Zhu Yu's chance to play!
The previous few times Zhu Yu appeared, he directly used money to knock two competitors to the ground, allowing him and Andre to make a lot more money.
Now he is also looking forward to the other party doing this again, so that Bangzi and Xiaoli can feel the charm of money!
He also observed that Zhu Yu's attention seemed to have wandered away from the auction, so in the last few days when he was bidding with Bangzi, his voice was raised a lot, hoping to remind Zhu Yu that the painting was about to go to another house and let him Notice!
But Zhu Yu was not moved at all, or in other words, he didn't pay attention at all.
Feeling Mr. Bangzijin's gaze, Mikhailov coughed hard and said loudly:
"One hundred thousand dollars, one hundred thousand dollars once, one hundred thousand dollars twice, is there any increase in price?"
His voice was loud enough, but it failed to make Zhu Yu open his glasses. However, Mikhailov did not want to make less money. He threw aside the rules and asked Zhu Yu directly:
"Mr. Zhu, are you interested in this price?"
Mr. Bangzijin almost shouted - Old Tie, you broke the rules!
But now he was on someone else's territory, and it was hard for him to say x - after all, the other party's two tall bodyguards were there, and they still had guns in their hands!
He had no choice but to turn his head away and groan angrily to show his dissatisfaction.
"I won't take pictures, thank you." Zhu Yu opened his eyes, said something, and then closed his eyes slightly.
Mikhailov was a little disappointed, but he immediately smiled and said:
"Then $110,000. Congratulations to Mr. Jin for acquiring this painting. Well, next is the fifth lot, two volumes of "Yongda Dian"..."
Zhu Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
Previously, his attention was focused on the emperor's golden crown, jade seal and other things, but he didn't realize that the two ordinary books here were "Yongle Dadian"!
But it's strange that the pages of these two volumes have lost their covers, so naturally they can't be seen.
Zhu Yutian opened his eyes and read these two books carefully.
Compared with the five volumes of "Yongle Dadian" that I once obtained, they are indeed the same size. The difference lies in the different contents.
"I won't go into the characteristics of the "Yongle Dadian", but I can tell you that after expert appraisal, these two books are indeed "Yongle Dadian", but they are missing the covers."
At this point, Mikhailov secretly scolded Andrei's family for wasting good things. If he hadn't recognized the value of these two books and rescued them from the trash can in Andrei's warehouse, I'm afraid they would have been destroyed. Now it has been thrown away as garbage!
"You can put on your gloves and come up and read these two books. These are ancient books written by the emperor of China hundreds of years ago. Of course, you know its value better than I do."
Mikhailov originally wanted to show off his knowledge about the Yongle Ceremony, but then he realized the origins of the three people in front of him, and immediately stopped talking, extending his hand to signal them to come over and take a look.
Zhu Yu's eyes had already glanced over, so he didn't move. On the contrary, Xiao Ri rushed out at a speed that was completely inconsistent with his short stature. He grabbed the gloves before putting them on completely, and already hugged the two booklets. in hand.
Of course, when he held the book, his movements immediately became extremely gentle.
Zhu Yu felt that people like these in his childhood had a perverted and persistent pursuit of Chinese culture and ancient books.
Unlike Bangzi, whoever is good will become mine, Xiaozi seems to really intend to turn himself into an orthodox descendant of Chinese civilization. Although he knows that this will not work, he still persists in pursuing this path. Running.
Mr. Bangzi Jin didn't get the first one and cursed them with their words, but soon he squeezed under the Xiaori Bridge, eagerly waiting for the second one to watch.
"Okay, put it down. If you take pictures of these two booklets, you will have enough time to read them!"
Mikhailov looked at the unmoved Zhu Yu with some confusion. Could it be that he was not interested in this great book?
Or have you run out of budget and don’t plan to shoot?
Or maybe you are playing hard to get, so you don’t want to come and watch?
In any case, the auction will continue. After Xiaotian and Bangzi sat down, Mikhailov said:
"The base price is one hundred thousand U.S. dollars, and each increase will be no less than ten thousand U.S. dollars...start bidding!"
This is the highlight!
I think "Yongle Dadian" is relatively well-known around the world, and Mikhailov happened to know that, so he offered such a high price.
"Two hundred thousand dollars!" Xiaori quoted this high price for the first time today!
Bangzi Jin didn't expect that his little life would suddenly be so crazy today, but he was not far behind. He had obtained the painting earlier, which made his confidence unprecedented. He raised his hand and confidently quoted in difficult English:
"Twenty-one thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" Xiao Zhiqiao immediately raised the price.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand!" Jin Bangzi just got the shot last time and his confidence was so high that he did it despite his small life. However, he also knew his own strength, so he added ten thousand each time.
Xiaoli was so angry, but couldn't do anything about the sticks, so he had to grit his teeth and increase the price!
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred and one thousand!"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Three hundred and sixty thousand!"
…
When Xiao Zhi increased it to 500,000, and when the stick increased to 510,000, Xiao Zhi couldn't bear it anymore.
Bangzi felt proud for a moment, but then he immediately glanced at Zhu Yu.
He was not sure whether Zhu Yu would participate this time.
Mikhailov was very sure that Zhu Yu would participate this time.
Sure enough, after seeing Xiaori withdrew from the competition, Zhu Yu raised his hand:
"Six hundred thousand."
When he was young, he couldn't do a good job, but when he saw Zhu Yu joining in, he was so happy. He immediately gave Zhu Yu a thumbs up:
"Zhu Sang, come on!"
Sure enough, Sino-Japanese friendship relies on sticks!
Zhu Yu nodded and looked at the stick, waiting for him to increase the price.
Bangzi was a little dumbfounded. Obviously he didn't expect that when Zhu Yu increased the price, it would start at 100,000, so he was a little embarrassed.
But thinking about the content of this auction, Bangzi gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand:
"Six hundred thousand! Dollars!"
He also specifically emphasized the US dollar!
Zhu Yu said calmly:
"Seven hundred thousand."
"Seven hundred thousand!"
…
When Zhu Yu increased the price to one million, Bangzi gritted his teeth, but did not increase the price.
Things are good things, but it also depends on your own strength to win them.
Zhu Yu finally got these two volumes of "Yongle Dadian" without covers for a price of one million.
Zhu Yu was not polite at all. He stepped forward to transfer the money to Andre, then put the two booklets away and handed them directly to Qin Fei before they could react.
Qin Fei put the things into his backpack very seriously.
He knew very well how important this thing... was.
Although there is still no expression on his face, his heart is really beating!
It’s no exaggeration to say it’s a national treasure!
He was the only one who noticed that Zhu Yu's originally bulging pocket containing the jade seal had dropped quite a bit.
Mikhailov did not expect that Zhu Yu would move so fast, and he was caught off guard.
He looked at Andre, and when their eyes met, they almost had a plan for the next step.
Zhu Yu was not interested in the next few items from the Qing Dynasty that were auctioned, such as Chao beads and the like, so Xiaori and Bangzi each got one or two items.
It's open.
Then, it was time to auction the solid gold crown.
"This is a crown made of gold." Mikhailov introduced: "Look at the exquisite craftsmanship and the noble feeling - this is definitely a gold crown worn by a real member of the royal family!"
When he said this, the expressions of the three Zhu Yus did not change.
Mikhailov suddenly thought, are these three people not interested in the Golden Crown?
He glanced at Andre and found that Andre seemed a little unsure too.
But when things come to an end, we have to shoot when we have to.
"This gold crown weighs 926 grams and is made entirely of gold. Look at how fine the gold wire is. ...Okay, you can come up and take a closer look, but you cannot use your hands."
Zhu Yuxin said, despite what you said, you attach so much importance to it. In fact, if you hadn't run out of money, would you have thought of this? Look at this golden crown. It’s in such poor condition. I didn’t know where it was thrown away before!
But he still looked like that, letting Bangzi and Xiaori go up to see Jin Guan.
After the two of them finished reading, Mikhailov spoke:
"The base price is one hundred thousand U.S. dollars, and each increase will not exceed ten thousand U.S. dollars. The auction begins now!"
"One hundred and ten thousand." Xiaozhi spoke first, but he was not very excited.
Bangzi answered:
"One hundred and twenty thousand dollars!"
He wasn't very excited either, which made Andre a little uneasy.
This can be considered the finale!
Isn't this thing very important to these East Asians?
Zhu Yu still looked nonchalant, which made Andre even more uneasy.
If this is the case, the next plan will be difficult to implement.
Bangzi and Xiaozi were unhurriedly adding tens of thousands to the shelves. They didn't seem to be in a hurry, and they didn't mean to suppress each other all at once.
Zhu Yu had most likely guessed what the other two families meant.
It's just a pity that in the face of strong financial resources, all conspiracies are false!
From the very beginning, Zhu Yu had no intention of giving up this golden crown!
These two are acting here, but they are just clowns!
Of course, if they could deceive Andrei and Mikhailov, they would be doing a good deed.
Sure enough, the two of them raised the price for a while. When the price reached 350,000, Bangzi glanced at Xiaori, suddenly gritted his teeth and said:
"The price has already reached the top, do you want to increase it?"
Xiaotian seemed to be gritting his teeth and persisting. At this moment, when Bangzi asked him, he said in a strong-hearted manner:
"Of course I have to add it!"
"Then I quit!" Bangzi gave up.
Zhu Yu raised his hand:
"Five million." He didn't bother to add it bit by bit.
This suddenly improved so much that my little life was suddenly unbearable.
On the contrary, Andrei and Mikhailov showed joy on their faces!
Okay, as soon as this guy opens his mouth, the money will come!
Next, you have to be careful and don't let him snatch the things away again after the shooting.
Otherwise, the next step of the plan will not be finalized!
