When Ren Xiaoyao and his party walked into the auction hall under the guidance of the service manager of the Tokyo branch of Christie's Auction House, the hall was already filled with art collectors and professional art auction brokers from all over the world.
There are still three empty seats in the center.
Ren Xiaoyao, Evans, and Reiko Ito walked over and sat down unceremoniously on the seats reserved for them by the three in the middle.
Feeling the envious looks from everyone in the auction hall, Ito Reiko, who had not been in such glory for a long time, immediately raised her head high like a proud queen.
"It seems that being the pet of this rich Chinese man is also a very good thing. At least it is much more glamorous than being a Japanese female star who has passed before!" Ito Reiko thought in her heart.
"This kind of abstract painting with only a few sketch lines can actually be sold for millions of dollars. It seems that being an artist is really awesome!" Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself.
Ren Xiaoyao sat in his seat, boredly watching the auctioneer on the stage praising an impressionistic abstract painting that looked like a ghost painting. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and yawned.
In the field of art, Ren Xiaoyao is definitely a complete artistic idiot. Once, he accompanied Dongfang Bi to enjoy a world tour performance by the French Ballet Art Troupe, and he actually fell asleep while watching him in the end.
From then on, Ren Xiaoyao understood that he was a commoner who would never know how to appreciate elegant art, so he had no interest in art auctions like this one.
After finally making it to the intermission of the auction, Ren Xiaoyao, who almost fell asleep again, banged his head to cheer up, and then walked into the lounge next to the hall with Evans and Reiko Ito on his arms to get down to business.
"Miss Reiko, you really shined and stole the show today. It reminded me of your glamor when you were very popular in the film and television industry!" The three of them just walked into the lounge, and Takeda was as short and thin as a monkey.
Jinghua came over to say hello to Reiko Ito.
Then he pretended to be honored and said to Ren Xiaoyao next to him: "I am a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, Takeda Keika. I am very happy to meet a young talent like Mr. Long Xiao!"
When acting, you have to do a complete set. Under the attention of everyone in the lounge, Ren Xiaoyao also pretended to be meeting the other person for the first time and started chatting with the Japanese monkey in front of him.
Of course, the content of what they are talking about now is also the eternal topic between men, such as "romance, romance, snow and moon", and does not involve the slightest bit of political or other sensitive topics.
The two of them kept laughing heartily while chatting. The two women next to them also burst into bursts of laughter as if they had heard something very funny, causing the Chinese businessman who was lurking in the dark to monitor Long Xiao.
The Japanese agents and underworld people have relaxed their vigilance.
If there is no special reason, these Japanese agents are not willing to mess with this rich Chinese man who is definitely not easy to mess with. A few days ago, several of their colleagues were knocked from behind and suffered concussions. They are still lying in the hospital.
Rest here.
"Mr. Long is really a very interesting gentleman. If the time is convenient, I will host a family banquet at home for you and two distinguished ladies tomorrow night. Be sure to come and see me?" Takeda Keika said to Ren Xiaoyao.
"Okay, we hit it off as soon as we saw each other. How could we go and bother you?" Ren Xiaoyao said.
After a short intermission, the auction continued, and everyone in the lounge gradually returned to the auction hall.
Ren Xiaoyao, who had successfully met and established a relationship with Takeda Keika, originally wanted to leave immediately, but he was afraid that it would arouse unnecessary suspicion from interested people, so he had to be patient and continue to enjoy the money-burning games in the hall that only the rich could afford.
When the auction came to an end, the money-burning game also entered its peak, because the auctioneer on the stage finally revealed the mysterious item in this art auction that attracted much attention at the last moment.
"Oh my god, it's an imperial seal passed down from ancient China!" Looking at the mysterious auction item that appeared in front of everyone as the auction table slowly rotated, I don't know who was the first to exclaim.
When Ren Xiaoyao saw the Royal Seal of the Kingdom on the exhibition stand, he felt a bang in his head, and the energy in his body began to move on its own. What surprised him even more was that he found that his skills had become even better.
layer!
In particular, the Royal Seal of the Kingdom seems to have a mysterious connection with him, and the "power" in the four sources of power sleeping deep in his body is gradually resurrected!
It seems that my trip was really worthwhile. I must have taken this photo! Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself.
With this exclamation, the auction hall suddenly exploded. The collectors below who had seen the world couldn't help but stare at their eyes. The greedy eyes in their eyes were coupled with the appearance of swallowing saliva.
It's like a group of jackals who haven't eaten for several days and suddenly find a sumptuous meal waiting for them.
The so-called Imperial Seal of the State is the national seal made by Qin Shihuang during the Warring States Period after unifying the six kingdoms. It was later lost to the people through countless wars. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has never appeared in the hands of the rulers. It is only scattered among the people.
In the unofficial history, I never expected that it would appear here today.
The auctioneer on the stage did not auction the treasure immediately but turned around and walked into the rest room at the back to give the following buyers enough time to mobilize funds and prepare to bid for this rare thing that is usually hidden in the boudoir.
treasure.
At this time, collectors and brokers in the auction hall were constantly on the phone, starting to mobilize funds or exchange opinions with their bosses to determine the lower limit of the price they could bear.
"Beep beep beep..." At this time, the phone in Ren Xiaoyao's pocket also rang. Ji Yunsheng's call from across the ocean sealed the fate of his wallet bleeding heavily tonight.
Although Ren Xiaoyao had already thought about filming, after receiving Ji Yunsheng's call, he added some benefits as usual before hanging up the phone.
A few minutes later, after the auctioneer had satisfied everyone's appetite, he walked out of the lounge and reappeared on the auction stage. The originally noisy auction hall immediately became quiet.
"Although everyone must be very familiar with this Imperial Seal, I still want to introduce the origin of this Royal Seal and its value here..."
"The base price of this imperial seal is 50 million U.S. dollars. Each time the card is raised, it represents an increase of one million U.S. dollars. Is there anyone who bids higher than 50 million U.S. dollars?" After introducing the relevant information about the royal seal passed down from the country, the auction started.
The auctioneer picked up the auction hammer and knocked it twice on the table, announcing that the next exciting and intense money-burning game had officially begun.
