The richest man starts from the treasure hunt in the container

Chapter 431 Show some color!

300 million, Zhu Yu took a picture of Zhu Da's "Osprey Playing in the Water".

The bunny girl put away the painting, put it in a scroll box, and placed it on the small table in front of Zhu Yu.

Mike was very happy and gave Zhu Yu a thumbs up:

"Mr. Zhu, you really have a vision! I believe that this painting is in your hands. Whether it is for appreciation or for collection, it is good for appreciation--Okay, let's take the second item, a piece from the Royal Collection of the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages The golden crown is said to have been worn by the queen at that time."

The bunny girl brought up an exquisite jewelry box when Mike introduced it.

Open the jewelry box, and you can see the gold crown inlaid with gems.The three gemstones are all perfectly polished, and they are also very large, exuding dazzling light under the illumination of the light.

is good stuff.

Very delicate but not cumbersome design, looks luxurious and elegant.

"Bidding starts at $500 million - bids open now!"

Hearing this voice, some people booed and commented dissatisfiedly:
"Could it be that a crown of the royal family in the Middle Ages is not as good as a painting by an unknown painter in China?"

After Zhu Yu heard this, he heheed.

Mike obviously expected this kind of thing to happen, he explained with a smile:

"Collecting antiques is about looking at the calendar. This crown is said to be owned by the royal family in the Middle Ages, but it is just an explanation by appraisal experts. But because collectors failed to find out the origin of the crown when they bought it.

In addition, some historical records are not detailed, and the original owner of the crown has not been found, so the valuation is not high-but it is already very high. "

Although Zhu Yu is not an expert, he also knows that antiques pay attention to orderly inheritance, and a folding fan used by a celebrity may be more valuable than a golden bowl used by ordinary people - there is no reason for this.

At least Zhu Da’s paintings have been passed down in an orderly manner. We can find out the history, know the owner of the painting, and those who have collected it have stamped it. If the royal family has collected it, it will appreciate in value.

Everyone understands Mike's explanation, it's just that some people are more sour, so after this episode, someone bids.

The gold crown came really, and the gemstone was big, so there were more people bidding. The price quickly rose to 800 million, and then slowed down.

The highest bidder was the one who questioned that the crown was not painted at a high price, and then another 60-year-old white man who had not spoken much was competing with him.

The old man was thin and kept silent, as if he had something on his mind.

For this crown, Zhu Yu just glanced at it and lost interest.

Sky Eye can see that the golden crown has been repaired. Although the gems are original, there are many similar things in his space.

After all, the Holy Roman Empire has existed for hundreds of years, and there have been many emperors and queens in succession. There is no inheritance of this thing, so it is not rare.

In the end, the Golden Delicious was acquired by the old man for 960 million.

Next, two more auctions were held, one was a saber belonging to the English royal family, and the other was a golden scripture from the Pallava dynasty in India.

In the end, both items were taken by bidders for slightly more than the starting bid.

The four lots were successfully sold, but everyone's enthusiasm for participation was not high, and Mike couldn't help complaining:
"It seems that the auction items prepared by everyone are still very popular, but the atmosphere is not warm enough! Could it be because you are old?"

His words drew a burst of laughter and dissatisfied protests from below.

"No, no, of course you are not old, at least you will not admit that you are old when you look at these beautiful girls next to you.

Then, let me see your strength!

Next, we will conduct the first surprising auction—"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, two bunny girls walked over carrying a wide and flat packing box.

"From Monet's oil painting - "Woman by the Fireplace"!"

Everyone exclaimed!
Even if you don't know much about painting, you have heard of Monet's name more or less.

This painter has a high reputation in the European and American art circles. Once his works are put up for auction, they will basically be auctioned off at a high price immediately, and then stored away, never to see the light of day.

It is really surprising to be able to come up with the role of Monet now.

"Don't worry, everyone," Mike said, seeing the excitement of these people, "This Monet work has been authenticated by two experts and is genuine. This work is very well preserved, and now everyone can enjoy it up close!"

Unlike before, this time, more than a dozen people who came to participate in the auction almost rushed up - except for Zhu Yu and the old man who had previously bid for the golden crown.

These people watched for ten minutes before returning to the sofa with some reluctance.

Even when they returned, they were talking about the beauty of the painting.

But in Zhu Yu's view, what these people talked about was similar to his cognition, and they were all layman's terms.

"Okay, now we start bidding on this painting - the reserve price of the auction is 2000 million US dollars, and now we start bidding!"

"Twenty-six and a half million!"

Yang Xiong was the first to bid, and his voice was very loud, attracting many people.

He had made several bids before, but not very often, and did not attract the attention of others.

When he chatted with someone before participating in the shooting, he wrote down what that person said.

However, Yang Xiong also had his own opinion. Instead of shooting a few more pieces, it is better to participate more in the finale and key auctions, so as to leave an impression in the eyes of those people.

Sure enough, this first voice directly made everyone focus on him.

But no one was used to him, his asking price only caused the auction hall to be silent for a while, and then the sound of quotations attracted everyone's attention.

"2000 two million!"

"Twenty-six and a half million!"

"Twenty-six and a half million!"

……

"3000 million!"

Mike was very happy with the continuous bidding.

Sure enough, the release of a heavyweight lot immediately reaped a wave of atmosphere - everyone really liked Monet's paintings.

Art collection has always been one of the hot spots for investment by some rich people abroad.In particular, those paintings that are considered to be internationally renowned painters have been increasing in value year by year, and have always been sought after by people, which is more valuable than holding the stocks of some large companies with stable profits.

In the past few years, the economy has been sluggish, and the value of money has continued to depreciate in the hands. Most of the purchases of financial products have resulted in losses. Some people have lost money in stocks.

On the contrary, in terms of art collections, the valuation of those famous paintings has been increasing year by year.

But these things seem to have more wolves and less meat, and some people will not release them after they are collected.

Now that a Monet's work has finally come out, it will naturally be chased by everyone.

3000 million is just a small peak, and those who want to own this painting will naturally not be intimidated by this price.

Yang Xiong didn't expect that, in less than a minute, the bidding price of this painting increased by 1 million!

Even though I was mentally prepared, knowing that this painting could be released at this time, and Mike even introduced it, it must be better than the previous ones.

But the price rose so fast, it was beyond his expectation!

But Yang Xiong was not reconciled. Seeing that the price had risen to 400 million, and there was still no tendency to stop, he gritted his teeth and called out a number:
"4000 million!"

The asking price of more than 600 million really shocked many people.

All eyes turned to him again.

Yang Xiong is somewhat proud of being the focus of everyone's attention.

He thought to himself, the price should be at the top, right?

It's just a painting after all!

4000 million US dollars, this price is already very high!
However, he still underestimated everyone's enthusiasm for Monet's paintings, but after ten seconds, someone made another offer:
"Forty-one million!"

"Forty-one million!"

"Forty-one million!"

"Forty-one million!"

"5000 million!"

……

Yang Xiong was shocked!
He found that he seemed to have done something wrong.

In the previous auctions, everyone basically raised the price by 100.

Now he suddenly added 600 million, which seems to have opened a certain box, and the atmosphere of humility disappeared, and he started to increase the price at will!

5000 million dollars!

He is no longer the chairman of the group. With the current pension, it will take several years to get it back!

But at the moment, those participating in the auction seem to be taking money for money.

Tens of millions of dollars—Yang Xiong also came from the bottom. He knew that even in the beautiful country, not to mention tens of millions, even a few thousand dollars is enough to make some people pick up guns and point them at others.

Don't these people take money as money?
Of course, in fact, he is very clear, and these people also understand that if they take out 5000 million US dollars to take pictures of the painting, it may be that the value of the painting will increase by 10% next year, and they will earn 500 million.

Who can guarantee that the business he does can earn so much a year?

It's almost a business that makes no money, who doesn't want to do it?
Just when Yang Xiong was sighing wryly here, the bidding price of this painting has risen to 100 million US dollars.

At this time, the enthusiasm for bidding gradually subsided a little.

Zhu Yu himself did not expect that the price of this painting could rise to this level.

Considering that there are so many paintings in my space, it seems that my net worth is higher than I imagined.

In the future, it has to be released gradually in exchange for some hard currency and valuable cultural relics from China, which is the right way!
"...Okay, are there any bids?"

Mike looked around and no one raised their hands again.

Although many people's eyes were filled with strong reluctance, they finally gave up.

Maybe they feel that such a high price is not worth it.

"Well, this Monet's "Woman by the Fireplace" was bought by Mr. Thompson at a price of 500 million. Congratulations to Mr. Thompson!"

This is the first piece in today's auction that exceeds [-] million yuan, and Mike is very happy.

Although he is considered ignorant in the family, but at this auction, he likes the feeling of being in control of the overall situation.

Moreover, this can also bring him extremely high connections and huge gains.

This is not the first time he has helped the family solve difficulties with the help of the connections he gained from the auction, so the family is also very supportive of him in doing this.

Now Monet's paintings also let his reputation spread faster, so that this auction will attract more people's attention.

In today's terms, it already has its own traffic.

I believe that some reporters and media outside already know about this matter, and it will definitely appear on the news tomorrow.

Worth it!
Mr. Thompson, who was about 40 years old, looked at the bunny girl holding the painting, and the satisfaction and joy on his face were beyond words. He was really happy.

Although I know that the price I gave is a bit of a premium, as long as I keep this painting in my hands for a few years, even if the price does not double, it will at least appreciate by more than 50.00%.

This is a sure bet!
Facing the envious eyes of these people next to him, Thompson tried his best to be calm, but he was so happy that he couldn't suppress it!

Yang Xiong couldn't accept this super high price: it's just a painting, how could there be such a high price?

Why didn't he see how this painting was worth so much money?
His gaze was first on Thompson, and then on Zhu Yu.

What a lucky boy!
He had already found out Zhu Yu's identity during the auction.

It has nothing to do with that celebrity, just an ordinary commoner who got rich by hunting treasures by chance, and now has a lot of money.

But a painting sold for [-] million, this guy should be very proud, right?
However, when Yang Xiong observed Zhu Yu, he found that this young man had no special expression changes at all!

Still the same!

Is this because the city is deep enough, or is Le silly?

Mike patted the table lightly, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then said:

"Next, let's take a break. Let's drink water, chat, and exchange ideas. Don't worry if you don't get your favorite lot. There will be more important lots later, which will surprise you!"

These people have sat for a long time, but less than half of them have gained anything.

Hearing Mike's words, everyone stood up one after another, some walked, some chatted, and some went out for convenience.

Zhu Yu took a sip of the tea and found that it tasted pretty good.

At this time, he saw Yang Xiong walking towards him.

Zhu Yu didn't know much about Yang Xiong, and only knew his identity after hearing Cao Dalong's words.

I don't feel anything.

Yang Xiong walked up to Zhu Yu and looked down at him:
"Zhu Yu? Hello, I'm Yang Xiong."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

Zhu Yu stood up, shook hands with Yang Xiong, but did not speak.

This surprised Yang Xiong.

Even if he is not as famous as those domestic pop singers nowadays, at least he was once a man of the hour.

Hearing his name, the young man's expression didn't change at all. Is he ignorant or arrogant?

"When I founded the predecessor of XX Group, I was about the same age as you." Yang Xiong said with a smile, "You are young and promising!"

He vaguely mentioned Zhu Yu, explaining his background.

After Zhu Yu heard his words, a gleam of disgust flashed in his eyes.

He didn't know about the affairs of the XX Group back then, but now it seems that this Yang Xiong is really not very good—is he trying to use his power to overwhelm others?

"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, let me make it easier."

Zhu Yu didn't intend to destroy the auction, so he found an excuse and left.

Yang Xiong's face immediately darkened.

This kid is so ignorant, he needs to be taught a lesson!
