They were all so into the drama!
Chapter 493 Auction? I'm here to cause trouble!
The venue for the Christie's auction of Gallic chickens is located in the Grand Palais in Paris.
In the venue, which can accommodate 1,200 people, the auction is in full swing.
Looking at cultural relics from all over the world, interested collectors raised auction signs one after another. After a bidding war, the winner took the cultural relics into his bag and nodded politely to his competitors with a smile on his face.
A group of foreigners also applauded the collector in a personable manner, looking like a personable "gentleman".
The whole auction was filled with an air of "upper-class" style that was hypocritical and a bit boring!
Then the beautiful and beautiful horse auctioneer on the stage introduced the finale of the auction in an exciting tone, the two of the twelve animal heads from China, the rat head and the rabbit head.
A photo of a rat head appeared on the big screen at the venue!
The starting price is 9 million euros, which is almost 90 million euros converted into soft girl coins, less than 100 million.
This starting price is several times higher than the previous price of twelve animal heads!
In fact, when Christie's announced the information about this auction last year, especially after letting the mainland know that there were rat heads and rabbit heads included, the reaction from the mainland was quite large.
Officials even directly sent a letter to Christie's requesting to stop the auction, and pointed out that the two cultural relics were stolen by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces and did not comply with the auction rules of "clear origin of goods."
On the private side, a recovery team consisting of hundreds of lawyers has even emerged.
But unfortunately, Christie's obviously didn't show any respect.
Even such a high starting price is because after seeing such a huge response from the mainland, he wanted to deliberately trick us!
The cultural relic value of the twelve animal heads is actually not much. After all, it is just an ornamental faucet in the royal garden, and it is obviously not a "national treasure".
However, the modern history of humiliation has given these twelve animal heads a value that exceeds their own cultural relic attributes.
In other words, apart from us Chinese people, other foreigners are not very interested in these two animal heads!
After the starting price was announced, the venue, which could be filled with 1,200 people, suddenly became quiet, and no one made the first bid.
Most of the foreigners who knew the excitement here were sitting there with great interest, looking at the Chinese faces in the venue.
After about a while, someone finally lost his temper.
A white man with a typical Gallic appearance raised the sign and made the first bid!
Needless to say, this person is obviously the shill of the auction.
Seeing that the sitter from the auction house had already appeared, a Chinese-looking person in the venue took out his mobile phone and made a call directly...
At this time, outside the auction venue, a luxury car Shi Shiran stopped at the door.
Huo Chengyin hung up the phone, gestured to his second uncle, and said:
"Second uncle, we can go in!"
Huo Mingjie, who was wearing a crisp suit, nodded, opened the car door immediately, and got out of the car with long legs.
After adjusting his slightly wrinkled suit jacket, Huo Mingjie looked up at the venue door in front of him and couldn't help but curl his lips.
My uncle and nephew came over today, they are causing trouble!
The staff standing at the door suddenly brightened up when they saw Huo Mingjie getting out of the car.
The luxuriously dressed and noble-looking Chinese man came over at the very end of the auction, obviously for the grand finale!
The staff hurriedly came forward, greeted Huo Mingjie respectfully, and then brought the uncle and nephew in without even asking any questions.
Then at the registration desk at the entrance of the auction venue, Huo Chengyin directly showed the VIP status of Mr. Cai from the "Save Overseas Lost Cultural Relics Foundation", which allowed the auction staff to confirm their identities.
This Mr. Cai is also a well-known "big fat sheep" abroad. He once spent hundreds of millions to purchase Chinese cultural relics that were lost overseas.
In fact, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the official stood up in advance and wanted to stop the auction, Mr. Cai would really have tried his best to raise money to redeem these two animal heads...
In the huge venue, only two foreigners kept raising their bids, from the original starting price of 9 million euros to 11 million euros.
The Chinese man who had just called his uncle and nephew casually raised the auction sign in his hand and raised the price to twelve million.
Two shills who were clearly hired by the auction house, after receiving instructions from the person behind the scenes, tried again to raise the price to 13 million.
The atmosphere at this time was at its most tense. The auction had already obtained a satisfactory price and made one last test.
Now we just have to wait and see if the mainland will take action!
At this moment, the door of the auction venue was opened from the outside, suddenly breaking the tense and exciting atmosphere in the venue.
The Chinese who was being stared at by everyone breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and waved to Huo Mingjie.
At this moment, everyone's attention was shifted to Huo Mingjie at the door.
Huo Mingjie has an unusually handsome appearance, a tall and straight figure, and a dignified and graceful temperament. At a glance, he gives foreigners the feeling of a mysterious oriental aristocrat who has been passed down for thousands of years.
Suddenly, the eyes of many Yangma in the venue lit up, and they couldn't help but look at Huo Mingjie who suddenly appeared.
Even the foreigners showed interesting expressions at this time.
And Huo Mingjie did not disappoint these foreigners who wanted to watch the fun, and said calmly in fluent English:
"Fourteen million euros!"
For a moment, the faces of the people at the auction suddenly showed a look of joy.
The Ocean Horse Auctioneer on the stage kept his eyes wandering around Huo Mingjie for a few times, and then he was reminded a few words through the earphones, and then he placed the hammer and sealed the deal as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Huo Mingjie smiled slightly and walked into the venue.
Then the auctioneer on the stage continued to take out the second rabbit head.
At this time, before the people on the stage had even finished their introductions, Huo Mingjie, who had just sat down, directly raised his sign and shouted again:
"It's still 14 million euros!"
He was just here to cause trouble, let alone 14 million euros, even 41 million euros, Huo Mingjie dared to report it to the outside world!
The venue instantly became quiet.
Looking at Huo Mingjie, who was sitting in his seat with his head slightly raised, his temperament was noble, and he was as hot and dazzling as the sun, the eyes of all the ocean horses were filled with brilliance.
The foreigners who were watching the excitement couldn't help but started whispering to each other, discussing Huo Mingjie's identity privately...
The auction house was quite satisfied with the price. They didn’t even use the shilling and said directly:
"make a deal!"
