Harry arrived at the auction venue around five o'clock that evening.
Because the invitation letter he holds is a VIP-level invitation letter obtained by Zi Cang Yuan in the name of Zi Cang Group. There are only about twenty people in the entire auction venue who can hold this kind of special invitation letter. So after being politely told by the guard to take out the weapons he carried, Harry entered the auction house deep underground smoothly.
Before the auction begins, the venue will conduct a final security inspection. Staying in the VIP lounge for guests to rest, Harry and other VIPs waited painfully for the auction to officially start.
The furnishings in the VIP room at the venue are not shabby, and can even be said to be quite luxurious. Guests should be relaxing in the lounge. It's a pity the good atmosphere at the scene was ruined by the guy in charge of security at the auction venue.
Although that person kept introducing and showing himself to everyone present, Harry could not recall the guy's name or appearance at all. The only thing he remembered about that person was his thick lips that kept opening and closing.
"Dear guests, please rest assured that this security plan designed by me is absolutely foolproof. My family and I are in the town of Barento"
"In order to get this opportunity to serve everyone"
""
Fortunately, the people in the VIP room are very cultured people. No matter how impatient everyone is in their hearts, at least on their faces, everyone has a smile on their face and silently calculates the time to enter.
When the inspection was over, everyone in the VIP room secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After listening to the nutritious nonsense for almost half an hour, even Harry Wright, a person who used to listen to other people's confessions as his professional job, felt a little impatient.
As soon as Harry took his seat in the front row of the auction house, several guests who had been on the same train with Harry more than ten days ago came forward. Thank you again for Harry's generous action that day. At the same time, they finally solved their doubts.
¡°These days, they have not received any news about Harry from the news media, which makes them a little uneasy, thinking that something unexpected happened to Harry. But a person who can have VIP qualifications at the auction in Barento Town can naturally do anything he wants, including avoiding the media.
No one expected that a person as full of aristocratic temperament as Harry would stay in an inconspicuous small hotel in the city. Neither the people who were on the bus nor the news media in the town of Barento expected it.
After a moment of greetings, the auction officially began.
The Seven Treasures Easter Egg that Ouyang Yang asked Harry to bid for was actually not a particularly valuable item in the catalog of secret treasures to be bid at this auction. In Yang and Harry's day, high-purity gold was not hard to come by. Although the jewelry inlaid on the colorful eggs is precious, it is definitely not unique in the world. Even the most precious pearl on the colorful egg, the highest-grade chrysanthemum basket luminous pearl naturally produced in the far north sea, has a known annual production of no less than 200 pearls in the world.
The preciousness of the colorful egg lies in its own historical and cultural value. According to the specifications of the treasure auction in Barento Town, it is not a very dazzling auction item.
But when Harry got the specific auction catalog, he was surprised to find that the colorful egg was actually listed on the last day of the auction and was the last item listed in the auction catalog. This arrangement is completely contrary to common sense, because except for the secret treasures that are privately auctioned at the end, the ranking of the auction items in the catalog is based on the estimated value of the auction items in advance by the auction.
The higher the value of an item, the lower its ranking.
Although during the auction, the transaction price fluctuates from time to time. Still, no one doubts the auction's value estimate.
The colorful egg that Ouyang Yang desperately wanted to get, based on its surface value alone, should be ranked very high. The current position shows that it does have potential value. Combined with Yang's eagerness to get the colorful egg, Harry finally believed that this egg was really something related to the life and death of the society.
Harry has been looking forward to the secret of the seven-treasure egg being revealed at the auction these days.
But when the colorful egg finally made its official debut Harry immediately knew the reason why the auction organizer placed it at the end of the auction catalog. It is placed last, not because the Seven Treasures Easter Egg has any special value, but because
The thousands of colors and brilliance of the Qibao Easter Egg are the best natural light source for the last twenty-five secret treasures in the auction. When those twenty-five treasures andWhen the Easter eggs were placed together on the topaz booth on the auction stage, the entire venue was silent.
Everyone here is deeply interested in this undisclosed secret treasure. Before the mystery shrouded in something is revealed, the hazy beauty has an extremely attractive appeal.
It¡¯s like the fatal allure of a sultry lady with a soft gauze covering her face. The veil is her weapon. Once she takes off that veil and reveals her true face. Her following may be reduced by more than half. Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, does not need to wear a veil.
These twenty-five secret treasures are the real Venus. Any concealment is obscene to them.
Everyone in the venue has found their own goddess, and they are silently calculating in their hearts the financial ability they can afford and the competitors they may encounter. We must also test how many people present are interested in these secret treasures and what their determination is.
There is a good touchstone on the scene.
That colorful egg.
Less than five minutes
The auction price of the Qibao Easter Egg has risen to more than ten times its actual value.
¡°Moreover, some people are still increasing prices.
Harry groaned secretly in his heart.
He may be the only person in the auction venue who does not want to join the bidding for the twenty-five secret treasures. Although Harry was also overwhelmed by their extreme beauty, he was also aware of the financial resources of the society.
The current Natural History Research Society cannot afford to consume any such thing that is precious but has no actual value.
Ouyang Yang did not expect such a situation to happen. Although he gave Harry a whole year's financial budget for the society, he did not ask Harry to spend it all. In Yang's calculations, bidding for this colorful egg would only occupy less than two months of the club's financial expenditure.
Based on Harry¡¯s understanding of Ouyang Yang¡¯s character, if the cost of obtaining this colorful egg exceeds the club¡¯s financial budget for half a year, all Ouyang Yang has to do is not just let Harry participate in the bidding and make a joke.
In order to save the club¡¯s expenses, Ouyang Yang will not hesitate to plan a robbery.
With a sense of revenge, Harry raised the price of the colorful eggs to the limit of the amount he could pay - 1.6 billion cards.
This price is equivalent to the transaction price of the pair of the largest chrysophyllite cats in the known world from the Acapov planet at the Kali Gemstone Auction on the Western Continent ten years ago. It is the highest transaction price at the jewelry auction six days ago. Ten times as much as that Queen's Diamond Chain.
If Harry really buys the colorful eggs at this price, he is sure that Ouyang Yang's face will look very, very good-looking.
However, as Harry expected, in less than a few dozen seconds, the price of this seven-treasure egg was raised to two billion. Harry was completely relaxed now. There was nothing he could do to get the colorful egg. Now all Harry can do is write down the buyer, and then send a message to Ouyang Yang, asking Yang to find another way.
With his body buried in the seat, Harry quietly waited for the final winner to emerge. only¡¡
Although Harry has given up bidding on the colorful eggs. But others at the venue didn't think so. Harry Wright, who participated in the bidding on behalf of the Zi Cang Consortium, was greatly overestimated by fellow VIPs in the VIP room as to the financial resources he could mobilize.
Everyone present regarded him as his potential biggest competitor.
"This colorful egg is indeed the best thing to set off these treasures. Although it can be imitated afterwards, I think the original is more valuable. Do you think so?" Sitting next to Harry, the twenty-egg that had just raised the price The man with 500 million said to Harry.
With a slight smile, Harry replied: "Although I appreciate the twenty-five secret treasures, my goal this time is just this colorful egg. This thing has special meaning to us."
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows, "What does it mean?" the man asked.
"It has a very special meaning." Because Harry himself didn't know the specific significance of this colorful egg to the Natural History Research Society. So he could only say this vaguely.
"Would you mind explaining it to me in detail?" the man said curiously. While speaking, he once again raised the offer to three billion, which was two hundred million higher than his competitor.
"This kind of thing has a very important relationship with the society I belong to, so I have to try my best to get it." Harry replied. The person talking to him was a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion and a pair of deep black pupils.??Harry had a very familiar feeling about him.
"Society? I'm curious about what kind of society an outstanding person like you belongs to? If I ask directly like this, you won't think I'm presumptuous, right?" The man asked with a smile.
"Of course not. The club I belong to is just a hobby club in Ultra Academy that mainly studies the formation and development history of various existing skills in the world." Harry said.
"A very elegant hobby." The man smiled.
After saying that, he added the price of the colorful egg to
