Li Fuzhen raised her curved eyebrows slightly, complaining in her heart that the man in front of her didn't understand the charm. Even if she was really wrong, there was a reason for it, so couldn't she be more tactful?
Perhaps seeing what Li Fuzhen was thinking, Li Siwen smiled warmly and comforted him: "Don't think too much. Even if you don't show up today, there's no guarantee what will happen. On the contrary, having you here can at least make Deren fearful."
."
"You still have some conscience." Li Fuzhen said in a mosquito-like voice.
At the same time, the sound of a hammer finally sounded at the scene, and a Konoha family samurai sword was auctioned for 1.2 million yen, which is equivalent to about 100,000 Chinese yuan. Such a figure can be compared in the Sanxiang Mansion.
All of them, but it didn't arouse any response, and some people were even chatting about off-topic topics.
However, the calm scene was soon broken. After the auctioneer left the stage, Egawa Minako walked onto the stage with enchanting steps.
Minako Egawa did not change her clothes, and still exposed half of her shoulders. It is not possible to tell what the complicated tattoos are, but one thing is clear. The more complicated the tattoos of the Yamaguchi-gumi people, the higher their status.
As soon as Egawa Minako appeared, the scene became quiet. This was the consensus without anyone reminding her. Although this woman is only in her thirties and looks relatively stunning, her aura is no less than that of any man.
"I didn't expect that the president of the Hongdao Society would show up in person today."
"There must be something good."
Several men sitting in the audience couldn't help but blurt out, after all, not everyone can see Minako Egawa.
"Distinguished guests, welcome to Sanxiang Mansion, I am Minako Egawa." Minako wore a professional smile and continued amidst the applause: "Because there is a distinguished and important person here today to support me, so the next treasure
I will auction it myself."
As Minako Egawa spoke, she motioned to her assistants to bring the treasure up. Four young women carefully walked onto the stage pushing a four- to five-meter-long scroll stand. On the stand, a painting with a mainly dim yellow tone but extremely delicate and unique colors was unfolded.
Beautiful paintings.
"This "Six Dragons" comes from China. It is the work of Chen Rong, a famous painter in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is 440.7 cm in length and 34.3 cm in width. It was originally collected by Qianlong and is a very high-level work in "Shiqu Baoji".
One of them, and then entered Prince Gong's palace through a gift, and finally was taken into the pocket by the great emperor of our Yamato nation and given to Prince Naruhito."
Minako Egawa's professional and beautiful voice resounded throughout the scene, and everyone applauded one after another, all eyes falling on "Six Dragons".
At this time, Minako continued: "But the precious thing about "Six Dragons" is not its extraordinary origin, but the legend about it."
"legend?"
"legend?"
"legend?"
Everyone at the scene was sighing, and even Li Siwen narrowed his eyes. After the assistant finished translating, he asked curiously: "Mr. Li, do you know its legend?"
After the assistant finished speaking, Li Fuzhen also looked at Li Siwen curiously.
"I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge, but I have never heard of it." Li Siwen shook his head gently. He had heard of "Six Dragons" in his previous life and knew that it was a national treasure, but he had never heard of the legend, so he listened very seriously at this moment.
.
"Everyone follow my gesture!" Minako Egawa walked to the scroll, and the light shone on the scroll. She smiled and said: "Let us count how many dragons there are in this painting." She said seriously.
The lands were counted.
"One, two...seven, eight, nine!" After counting the last one, Minako faced everyone and said: "We can find that the expressions and movements of each of the nine dragons are lifelike, and the exquisite painting seems to be ingenious, but everyone must have
I wonder why there are nine dragons in the "Six Dragons Picture"."
"Yes! Why are there nine dragons painted on it?"
Almost everyone was repeating this question in their brains, even Li Siwen was no exception. The scene was extremely quiet, and they were all waiting for Minako's explanation.
"This starts with Chen Rong's background. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Duanping in 1235, and served as a governor of Fujian. He was not only good at painting and medical skills, but also proficient in Feng Shui. It is said that this "Six Dragons" was the first painting of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The fifth emperor Zhao Yun asked Chen Rong to make it and hid the Chinese dragon veins in the picture. However, in order to deceive others, the six dragons were drawn as nine dragons. Among them, three dragons were fake and six dragons were real. As long as the real dragon can be found, and
If you understand its mysteries, you will be able to figure out where the Chinese dragon veins lie."
Minako Egawa became more serious as she spoke: "Since the occupation of China, our ancestors have been deciphering this painting and tried millions of sequence combinations, but they are still confused. Maybe we have already found the correct one.
The answer, but the mystery behind it cannot be understood, otherwise when we cut off the Chinese dragon vein, that land might have been trampled under our feet long ago."
"Speaking of this, everyone should understand that the importance of dragon veins is not only in war, but also because it holds countless treasures. In the history of China for thousands of years, emperors who can understand the dragon veins will be buried in it after their death. This
I don’t need to continue to explain the value of the "Six Dragons", right?"
Wow!
When Minako Egawa finished her voice, the whole audience burst into exclamation, and everyone seemed to be intoxicated after hearing an epic story.
Even Li Siwen couldn't help but sigh. Regardless of whether what Egawa Minako said was true or false, the other party's understanding of Chinese history was really admirable.
Every fiber of his being wants to trample China under his feet. Is it just you?
Li Siwen slowly clenched his fists. He knew that Minako meant those words to humiliate him. As expected, the other party had already cast a provocative look at him at this moment.
"That's the end of the introduction to "Six Dragons". Next, we will enter our auction. But before the auction, I have one more thing to make clear to everyone." Minako Egawa raised her hand, and the light hit Li
Siwen could only hear her say: "Look, everyone, this is the big shot I'm talking about. Everyone here must be familiar with it, right? He is Li Siwen, the recently popular celebrity in Japan, the chairman of Datang Technology."
Everyone looked at Li Siwen at the same time, some were surprised, some sighed, some were hostile, and some even looked at him with disdain. After all, not everyone took him seriously, but soon these expressions almost happened at the same time.
It all turned into fear because Minako Egawa added another sentence.
"Mr. Li Siwen has just reached a consensus with me that he will take the crowning shot of "Six Dragons" tonight!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone opened their mouths, and some people even said bluntly: "Baga, this is not true, is it?"
"This Li Siwen is too crazy!"
"Who does he think he is if he wants to win the lottery?"
"Today there are not only young masters from Mitsui Consortium and Fuji Consortium, but also wealthy businessmen from the Middle East. He, a Chinese country bumpkin, also wants to win the "Six Dragons"?"
Everyone was noisy, and the little assistant started to feel a little timid when he saw everyone's appearance, and asked in confusion: "Miss, what is going on? Why did you react like this when you heard Yatangcai?"
Li Fuzhen shook his head gently: "I don't know, Mr. Li, do you know?"
"Yatangcai" is an older jargon in the auction industry. It means that the collection in her hand is a treasure, and "Yatangcai" means that I will win the prize for this collection today, no matter what.
I will match whatever other people bid." Li Siwen explained word for word.
"Wha...what? No matter how much you bid, you have to pay? What if someone raises the price maliciously?" the assistant asked excitedly.
"We must follow!" Li Siwen said seriously: "You don't have to follow, but we will pay the price with our lives."
"Isn't this too unfair?" the assistant said nervously.
"Fairness has been lost since we stepped here. Minako's shouting out the favor is just to let everyone maliciously raise the price and force us to pay the maximum price." Li Siwen said rationally.
"So, if someone wants to harm us, can't they just pay a sky-high price? Oh my God, this is a losing situation!" The assistant's teeth were chattering when he said this.
However, Li Fuzhen was relatively calm. She held her assistant's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Trust him."
"Miss, this..." The assistant didn't know what to say.
"The rules of this game are not as simple as you think. Although everyone knows that we are going to win the lottery, not everyone dares to bid maliciously. For example, if the price reaches a certain height, if we are out, we will only lose our lives, but
The collection must go to the bidder in sequence. If the bidder cannot pay, he will also be severely punished.
Therefore, as businessmen, everyone must also measure their own financial resources and the value of their collections. Taking too many risks may harm yourself."
Hearing Li Fuzhen's explanation, the assistant slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but then thought of something again and whispered: "I'm afraid that Prince Deren deliberately raised the price to trick us. Anyway, the thing belongs to him, so he doesn't need to pay for it."
"Don't worry, Prince Naruhito is asking for money. There is no need for him to take us out, otherwise he wouldn't do all this."
After Li Fuzhen finished speaking, she looked at Li Siwen and said, "Mr. Li, am I right?"
"Yes, that's right, but this game is not easy to deal with. Let's not talk about the two chaebol princes on the left, but the guy in the turban is obviously a master who is not easy to mess with." After Li Siwen finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.
After a moment: "Have you never heard that without a piece of my head, I am the richest in the world!"
"Uh..." Li Fuzhen glanced at the other party and stopped talking.
At this time, Egawa Minako had already walked to the auction table. She said loudly into the microphone: "Next, our bidding will officially begin. This work, Chen Rong's "Six Dragons", has a starting price of 200 million yen!"
Wow!
Everyone exclaimed, the starting price alone was enough to eliminate a group of players, but soon someone on the scene began to raise signs and said: "Two hundred and ten million."
"Two hundred and twenty million."
"Two hundred and thirty million."
"Two hundred and forty million."
The sound of bidding was endless, and placards were raised one after another at the scene. Only five minutes later, the price was already called 360 million, and the bidding still did not stop. Minako seemed to have expected this scene.
His right hand didn't even touch the auction hammer, he just put his hands on his chest and looked at it with a smile, and occasionally glanced at Li Siwen on the second floor.
"Four hundred and ten million!"
When the price doubled, a young man on the second floor who looked to be only in his twenties finally seemed a little impatient. He stood up and said loudly: "I say everyone, are you too conservative? Didn't you listen to Jiang Chuan?"
Sister, tell me, this man from China (only) wants to win the lottery today, where is this? This is the Yamato Empire, if we don’t give him some color, are we worthy of sitting here? I will pay one billion!"
When the number one billion appeared, the crowd cheered as if it was a festival, and everyone cheered wildly at the young man who spoke.
"Wow, Master Mitsui is amazing!"
"He is worthy of being the future leader of the Mitsui Group."
"Master Mitsui, give that boy some color!"
The crowd's voices became louder and louder, and the mood at the scene was instantly heightened. One billion yen, more than 80 million Chinese coins, and nearly 10 million U.S. dollars were indeed shocking enough.
Master Mitsui was particularly satisfied when he saw this situation, and the young man on the other balcony at the same level as him also laughed and said: "Since Mr. Mitsui is so elegant, how can I have the nerve to stay silent and pay for this (just take it) for fun?"
Go ahead! I’ll pay 1.5 billion.”
OMG!
When the young master of the Fuji Foundation took action, the scene was filled with exclamations. No one expected that the two of them would increase the amount by hundreds of millions. It can be said that this kind of auction method is rare to see once in a lifetime, and it is normal to be excited.
Even the little assistant who had been helping with the translation had sweaty palms. In just ten minutes, the price soared from 200 million yen to 1.5 billion yen. Is this still a normal auction? What is the final price?
I can’t even imagine how frozen it will be.
But when she looked at Li Siwen cautiously, she found that his face was extremely ugly, and she quickly asked Li Fuzhen: "Miss, is he...is he okay?"
The assistant thought Li Siwen was frightened by this auction method, but after Li Fuzhen thought for a moment, he whispered back in Korean: "Don't translate (just take) these two words, this is an insult to the Chinese people from Japan.
"
After Li Fuzhen finished speaking, she hurriedly said to Li Siwen: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I asked her to be more careful when translating."
Although Li Siwen didn't speak Korean, he basically guessed what Li Fuzhen had just said to his assistant. He refused with a cold face: "No, I want her to translate seriously, without leaving a single word behind."
The cold voice made Li Fuzhen feel a chill. She wanted to say something else, but in the end she looked at her assistant and said, "Translate truthfully. Don't miss a word."
"I understand." The assistant nodded.
At the same time, Master Fuji, who had just finished bidding, looked at Li Siwen and said with a smile: "(only take), you are today's protagonist, why don't you bid a fixed price? Can you afford it?"
