Cheng Yinuo has been away from Lanling for some time.
During this period of time, Zhu Changan lived a life of sexual bliss. In addition to observing the world in the box every day, he studied body art with Fang Rou, making the little girl's face look like a peach blossom, and she was so charming.
Fang Rou was nourished and knew how to reciprocate love, cooking delicious food for "Brother Chang'an" in different ways every day.
Sea cucumbers, cordyceps, velvet antlers, and wolfberries were all served on the dining table. Zhu Changan served them vigorously and energetically, fighting bravely on the "battlefield" every day and never tired of it.
Even the phone calls with Cheng Yinuo during this period dropped from three or four a day to one every two days.
However, this time he successfully obtained the "Tiger and Dragon Pan", which can be said to be a milestone victory. The first thing Zhu Changan thought of was to share it with Cheng Yinuo and discuss the price.
"Dear princess, I have good news to report to you."
Zhu Changan put away the hair-like scroll and made a video call.
"What's the good news? Come on, I'm attending an auction." Cheng Yinuo said quickly.
The environment in the video is very noisy, with blond and blue-eyed crooked nuts swaying through the camera from time to time. It looks like an overseas auction.
"Where are you?"
"New York, USA, Anglo Auction Building, my target today is an ancient painting called "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix."
Zhu Changan said angrily: "So you went to the United States? You didn't even tell me. It's really disrespectful to me, the consort."
"snort!"
Cheng Yinuo snorted coldly, "You still have the nerve to accuse me? See for yourself how many days you haven't called me?"
"Why do I remember that I just had a fight yesterday?"
"See clearly for yourself, don't talk nonsense here."
Zhu Changan hurriedly looked through the call records and was instantly ashamed.
The screen clearly showed that he called Cheng Yinuo two days ago and had not contacted her for more than 48 hours.
"Do you see clearly?"
Seeing Zhu Changan fell silent, Cheng Yinuo immediately attacked.
"I see that you and Fang Rou are living a comfortable life. You have long been happy and have forgotten about me. You still blame me for not telling you. It's like a slap in the face to Zhu Bajie!"
Zhu Changan immediately retorted: "Why do you have to ask me to call you first? Could it be that your mobile phone is shut down and calls are restricted? Otherwise, why should I recharge your phone bill of 100 yuan now?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Cheng Yinuo looked like he was too lazy to argue with you.
"If you have something to say, hurry up and hang up. If nothing happens, hang up. The auction will start in 10 minutes."
"I heard that in addition to Tang Bohu's "Feng Qiu Huang", "Tiger and Dragon", which was sold for 6.8 billion in Paris last time, may also appear."
"In order to get these two pictures done, I brought all three masters including Teacher Song and Teacher Gao. This time I have to bring back a picture no matter what."
"Tiger crouching and dragon panning?"
Zhu Changan's face moved slightly, and he almost laughed like a pig, "This is an extremely expensive painting worth 6.8 billion. Dear princess, how much do you plan to spend on it?"
Cheng Yinuo said: "The starting price has been lowered to 1 billion. It depends on the situation. If no one competes, I will buy it within 2 billion."
"Is the last buyer sick?"
Zhu Changan was puzzled, "I spent 6.8 billion to buy it, and after two months, I started bidding for another 1 billion. I think I was full, right?"
"The current situation is unclear. The seller may set a reserve price. If the bidding price does not reach his psychological price, the bidding will be unsold."
Cheng Yinuo smoothed his short hair and explained patiently, "Say something quickly and hang up if nothing happens. I don't have time to chat with you now."
"Hehe... I saved you 2 billion with this call!" Zhu Changan said with a smirk.
"What's the meaning?"
Cheng Yinuo was puzzled at first, then realized it, and said with a face of surprise, "What do you mean by this, does it mean that you have found the "Tiger and Dragon Pan"?"
"Exactly, Zhu Renxia just found the picture of the tiger and presented it to me."
Zhu Changan was very proud, "In other words, that ancient painting with a sky-high price of 6.8 billion will only end up being faded and damaged, and whoever buys it will lose a lot of money!"
"Very good!"
Cheng Yinuo was overjoyed, smiling like a sunflower in the sun, "My Prince Consort, you are so great, so I don't want this "Tiger and Crouching" painting no matter how much it costs."
As Cheng Yinuo spoke, he thought to himself, not only do I not want it, but I also want to tease the buyer behind him and make him lose everything!
"Make a price, my princess."
Zhu Changan grinned mischievously, "Let's go back to the other, and settle accounts between husband and wife. Before you marry me, feelings are feelings, and business is business."
Cheng Yinuo didn't do any ink, and said happily: "Then you make an offer. I will never counter-offer. Anyway, my money will be your money from now on."
"If you do this, I'll be embarrassed to ask for the price!"
Zhu Changan stared at Cheng Yinuo on the screen and said with a bad smile, "How about you stay with me when you come back... Hey, hey, I don't want the money. Do you think it's fair?"
"Why are you so excited?" Cheng Yinuo was puzzled and stared at Zhu Changan on the screen in confusion.
"That's it. I'll measure your depth, and you measure my length..."
"roll!"
Cheng Yinuo spat out the fragrance without hesitation, "I said, before Qian Jin wakes up, you can't even think about my idea. If you dare to threaten me with this, I will spend 6.8 billion to buy this tiger painting at the auction." Chutu won’t agree to it either!”
"Yes, yes, yes...my princess, don't be impulsive, it's just a joke."
Zhu Changan quickly gave up, "Actually, I feel quite comfortable being served by Fang Rou now. I really don't want to mess with your ideas."
"Then study Fang Rou's skills carefully and stop talking nonsense to me." Cheng Yinuo glared, angrily, "Hurry up and make an offer."
"Then just follow the reserve price at the auction." Zhu Changan was embarrassed and said, "How about one billion?"
"Deal, I will come to you to receive the goods after returning to China."
Cheng Yinuo agreed readily, "Hang up the phone, the auction is about to begin."
After a while, the auction began.
After several rounds of auctions with which Cheng Yinuo was not interested, her target drawing emerged.
"The next auction item is a famous painting from China, "Feng Qiu Huang" by the famous Ming Dynasty painter Tang Bohu. The starting price is 150 million, and the price will be increased by 10 million each time."
After the host announced the reserve price and rules, interested buyers took turns coming to the stage to check it out.
Cheng Yinuo personally led his three masters to the stage to inspect the goods.
After studying the picture for more than ten minutes, Song Yuanxing, Gao Qidou, and Zhou Li unanimously came to the conclusion: There is an 80% probability that this picture is one of the antidote pictures, and they must try to win it no matter what!
"Okay, I know."
Cheng Yinuo nodded and led the staff team back to their seats expressionlessly.
After all buyers have finished inspecting the goods, the host bangs the gavel and announces the start of the bidding.
"Lot No. 7 - "Feng Qiu Huang" is now open for bidding, please bid actively."
"160 million."
Cheng Yinuo called the price first.
The starting price for a painting from the East was 150 million. Westerners with blond hair and blue eyes were naturally not interested. All the bidders were oriental faces with black hair and eyes.
"170 million." Someone bid.
Another bidder appeared: "180 million."
Cheng Yinuo stood still and watched the changes.
Buyer No. 4 appears: "Two hundred million."
Buyer No. 5 raised a sign: "210 million."
Buyer No. 3 continued to increase the price: "230 million."
Buyer No. 2 shook his head and gave up. Buyer No. 4 continued to increase the price: "250 million."
Buyer No. 3 raised the price again: "260 million."
"300 million." Buyer No. 4 raised the price again.
No. 3 gave up, and after thinking about it for a while, buyer No. 5 made another offer: "310 million."
"350 million." Buyer No. 4 increased it by 40 million again.
Buyer No. 5 sighed and made no further moves.
The host announced: "Buyer No. 018 bids 350 million. Is there anyone higher than him? Now there is one bid, and there is no one higher than him. After three bids, the transaction will be completed."
"Twice bid."
"500 million!"
Cheng Yinuo, who had been watching on the wall, once again raised the number plate No. 121 in his hand.
"Wow...500 million."
There was an uproar at the scene. Buyers speaking English, Chinese and other languages discussed in a different tone, and they all cast surprised glances at Cheng Yinuo.
