Tomb Raider: No more pretending, I am a Taoist priest

Chapter 72

"Two million and a half million."

Amid the shocked and expectant eyes of the crowd, Zhou Yu raised the sign in his hand and spoke slowly.

As soon as this number came out, everyone in the audience was stunned.

They were stunned that Zhou Yu dared to continue to raise the price, and they were even more stunned by the price he shouted out.

Two million... five hundred thousand...

Only increased by five hundred thousand, isn't this deliberately disgusting? !

Of course, Zhou Yu was not disgusting them, but the foreigner.

At this moment, everyone in the auction hall couldn't help but look at Jude Kao on the other side of the platform.

The latter's face was quite bad now.

Even though he had lived for most of his life, even though he had seen too many scenes.

But, such a disgusting thing, even as calm and experienced as he was, he couldn't help but feel his veins jumping at this moment.

This Chinese... is really...

Jude Kao resisted the urge to curse.

Because at this moment, the manager's voice on the auction table sounded again:

"This gentleman bids 21 million, is there any higher bid?"

Almost without looking up, Jude Kao knew that the auction manager's eyes were definitely on him.

21 million, to be honest, is not a small amount, and it also exceeds his current funds in China.

But...

Looking at the flawless jade embryo in the booklet in his hand.

Jude Kao took a deep breath, and then took off a jade ring on the index finger of his right hand.

Suddenly, everyone present was attracted and looked at the jade ring.

To be honest, this ring looks a bit ordinary.

It's just that the color is a little more beautiful and transparent.

Obviously, the material of this ring is definitely top-grade jade.

But no matter how good the jade is, it's just a piece of jade, and it's the size of a ring.

If nothing unexpected happens, the price will be at most a few hundred thousand.

"Does this gentleman want to use this ring as collateral?"

The auction house manager has a sharp eye and a sharp mind.

He knew that since Qiu Dekao took out the ring, it meant that this thing was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Sure enough!

Almost as soon as he asked this question, Qiu Dekao's faint voice sounded on the high platform:

"This ring is a personal item of Emperor Qianlong, and the inside of it is engraved with the name of Emperor Qianlong himself - Hongli."

Emperor Qianlong's personal ring?

There is also his name engraved on the inside?

As soon as this was said, there was a low cry from the audience.

As we all know, the value of an antique, in addition to its age and material, the most important point is its background history.

That is, the more famous the person related to the antique is, the higher the value of the antique.

At this moment, the auction house manager's eyes lit up.

He quickly made a gesture, and then relevant personnel immediately came to Qiu Dekao.

After a respectful and careful inspection, he finally nodded to the auction manager.

The auction manager's face was even more delighted when he saw this:

"Today, we are still open-minded. We actually saw Emperor Qianlong's personal engraved ring."

"Sir, according to the market price, this kind of item is worth about one million."

"You, do you have any objections?"

Jude Kao nodded.

Immediately, the auction manager spoke again:

"This foreign friend bid 21 million. Is there a higher price?"

This time, everyone in the audience looked at Zhou Yu at the same time.

The situation is a bit subtle now.

Just now, Zhou Yu raised the price by 500,000 to disgust Jude Kao.

Now Jude Kao also raised the price by 500,000, which disgusted Zhou Yu in turn.

"What a childish behavior."

In the guest area, Chen Wenjin looked at this scene and shook his head.

"But it's very interesting, isn't it?" Wu Sansheng, who was watching with great interest.

He hadn't seen such a wonderful scene in the auction for a long time.

Wu Sansheng was eating melon seeds while watching Zhou Yu on the high platform with great interest.

Beside Zhou Yu, Fatty and Big Gold Teeth were also watching without blinking.

There was no worry on their faces at this moment, but they looked like they were watching a good show.

The jade fetus was Zhou Yu's, but it was just put on the auction side of Fatty.

So, Zhou Yu could play with it at this moment, and there would be no situation where he had no money to pay.

And the effect of playing like this was also very obvious.

The starting price of the item was three million, and now the price has directly reached twenty-one million.

That is, I don't know if that foreigner can still afford it...

Fatty and Big Gold Teeth looked at each other, and their eyes turned to Qiu Dekao.

To be honest, Qiu Dekao was also a little nervous at this moment.

JadeThe fetus is very likely related to immortality.

And what he has always longed for is immortality.

Therefore, this thing is very important to him and he must get it.

And now, it depends on the Chinese man...

While thinking, Jude Kao, like everyone else in the audience, couldn't help but cast his eyes on Zhou Yu.

And when he looked at it, he saw Zhou Yu slowly raising the brown auction board again...

Jude Kao raised his white eyebrows immediately:

Come again?

Where did this Chinese man get so much money?

Does he have so much money?

......

A series of thoughts passed through his mind, and Jude Kao finally couldn't help but speak:

"Wait."

Jude Kao didn't look at Zhou Yu, but cast his eyes on the auction manager in the field:

"Manager, I need you to explain something."

"That is, since you asked me to provide proof of property, why don't you let him provide proof of property as well?"

"If you are a person, you should bid against me with a lion's mouth, otherwise it will be a silver spear and wax head, a mirror flower and a moon in the water."

Jude Kao is worthy of having stayed in China for so many years, and he can use all kinds of idioms at will.

As soon as he said this, the auction manager also looked at Zhou Yu.

Indeed, it was a bit biased to only let Jude Kao make a proof of property, but not let this person do it.

In fact, when Jude Kao was asked to make a proof of property at the beginning, the auction manager also wanted Zhou Yu to make a proof.

But for some reason, when he saw Zhou Yu, his mind suddenly changed.

A person with such extraordinary temperament must have an extraordinary origin.

Such a person should not be short of money.

But now, the starting price of the item is only three million, and the price has soared to twenty-one million.

Even if the auction manager believes that Zhou Yu has an extraordinary background, the price of more than 20 million also makes him a little suspicious.

If this person comes to make trouble, he will really lose a lot.

With a turnover of more than 20 million, how much will the commission of the dark market reach?

Thinking of this, the auction manager couldn't help asking:

"Um, sir, do you have a bank card or a deed as proof of your assets?"

As soon as this was said, everyone present looked at Zhou Yu.

"Wen Jin, do you think this guy has that money?"

In the VIP area, Wu Sansheng saw this scene and couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

To be honest, his Wu family is also rich.

But he really can't take out 20 million to auction an antique at any time.

Or rather, he is not qualified to make such a big decision for the Wu family now.

"Should there be?"

Chen Wenjin spoke uncertainly.

Although Zhou Yu is not very old, his temperament can tell a lot.

In the crowd, he is simply too outstanding.

And Chen Wenjin has only seen one person like this.

That was a few years ago when she and the curator attended an important meeting from a distance.

And that person's surname is Mao.

But Zhou Yu is too young.

Even if he is the descendant of that person, it is impossible for him to casually take out 20 million to bid for something, right?

While thinking, Chen Wenjin couldn't help but look up again and look at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu naturally heard the small talk between Wu Sansheng and Chen Wenjin clearly.

At this moment, it was not just these two people.

Most of the people in the audience, even the fat man, the big gold tooth and the peacock around them, were slightly skeptical.

"Boss, do you have so much money? How about I support you a little?"

The one who spoke was the fat man.

In terms of wealth, he still has a little now.

"Master Zhou, I have some too."

Big Gold Teeth also echoed in a low voice.

To be honest, if the manager didn't point it out, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But now that it has been pointed out, Zhou Yu really has to show some things.

Otherwise, being kicked out would be considered a light punishment, and they would most likely be beaten up!

"Brother Zhou, I have some private money here, but it's not much... less than a thousand."

At this time, Peacock also spoke weakly.

Her beautiful eyes were full of worry.

"No need."

Zhou Yu felt a little warm in his heart.

He had expected this scene a long time ago and had been waiting for it.

It would be a joke if he said he had no money after emptying the tomb of King Xian.

Facing the stares of everyone, the scrutiny of Jude Kao and the auction house manager, Zhou Yu calmly reached out to the outside of his left leg.

There was an ordinary black backpack.

This was something Zhou Yu brought with him when he came. It looked bulging on the surface, but it was actually filled with plastic blocks.The fat guy asked curiously, but Zhou Yu didn't answer much at that time.

At this moment, the bag came in handy.

Reached into the bag and grabbed it.

During this process, Zhou Yu's mind moved slightly, and the original plastic block was instantly transferred to the portable space.

Replaced with another pile of things.

Seeing the bulging black backpack in Zhou Yu's hand, everyone was stunned.

The auction house manager also subconsciously asked:

"Sir, what is in your backpack..."

"The property certificate you want."

Zhou Yu shrugged, and then gently unzipped the black bag.

Under the illumination of the searchlight above.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed out.

You can see...
