Chapter 3764: 500 million

The Spalding incident caused quite a stir on the cruise ship.

These foreigners began to be jealous of the Chinese people and did not dare to speak up in public, especially when they saw Lu Yi and his party, they detoured and left, and no one dared to go up and provoke him.

The ancient East has always had a mysterious color.

Some people even began to pray secretly, hoping that the true Western gods could bless themselves.

For Lu Yi, what happened just now was just an episode.

After the auction started, Lu Yi accompanied Ye Tianxin, Xiao Yunyun, Shen Xinger and others to the seats arranged by Zhao Qingsi.

The leaders of this auction are the Fitas consortium, the Peru consortium, and the Bonjes consortium.

These three consortiums are well-known in Northern Europe, and built an extremely large business empire on a global scale more than two hundred years ago.

"Wu Daozi's original works are in the hands of the Fitas consortium. Those three yuan blue and white consortiums own one each. According to reliable sources, the final expected transaction price of these four items may add up to 10 billion. Euro." Zhao Qingsi whispered beside Lu Yi.

"10 billion euros? So much?" Lu Yi was a little surprised.

"It's a lot. These guys obviously have some lions open their mouths. They seem to have received news that China Xia wants to take back the national treasure. It is impossible for us to bear a temporary price increase." Zhao Qingsi said.

Without calculation, ten billion euros is totally unrealistic.

Although the current Eastern Group is the No. 1 consortium in China, it is difficult to reach the sky if it rashly spends 10 billion euros.

"Don't worry, I just looked at the auction list. The first thing that started to be auctioned was the original Wu Daozi. Let's see how Yamamoto Yuanichiro handled it. Let's act accordingly." Lu Yi said.

The auction was held on the second floor of the cruise ship.

Here is the largest banquet hall, which can accommodate more than two hundred people sitting at the same time.

A beautiful female model in revealing dress, acting as the host of the auction.

As soon as she came on the court, it caused a lot of cheers off the court.

Before the auction officially started, there was a very hot dance.

After the dance, the atmosphere of the auction was pushed to the top, and many people had forgotten the scene of Spoting being eaten by tiger sharks.

"Gentlemen and ladies, distinguished guests, on behalf of the three consortiums of Fitas, Peru, and Bonges, I warmly welcome your visit..."

The female model speaks fluent American English, and then translated it in a bit crappy Chinese.

First, a general introduction to tonight's concentrated auction items.

In addition to the original Wu Daozi and the three Yuan blue and white flowers, there are also some valuable treasures.

There are works by modern North American painters, as well as short swords from the ancient Roman period, as well as some rare objects found in the great voyage era.

Of course, the most valuable ones are the authentic works of Wu Daozi and the three Yuan blue and white pieces.

The first few auctions did not cause much competition.

A few foreign aristocrats who had a lot of money bought them generously, gave them to their female companions, or kept them as gifts for family members.

Until Wu Daozi's authentic relic appeared, the audience burst into flames.

Among the aristocratic and wealthy circles in some European and American countries, many people are proud of collecting Chinese national treasures. The more they collect, the more prosperous the family is.

When Wu Daozi's authentic relic appeared, someone immediately began to scream.

"This authentic work from a famous painter in ancient China, I believe that many guests are already very familiar with it. No matter its artistic value or historical value, it is indescribable. Now that the Fitas Consortium is willing to cut love, don’t miss this Next chance!"

The hostess used some provocative words to stimulate the rich and nobles.

Sure enough, the fan of a few words made these people unbearable.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and tell me the starting price! This baby, I have to decide on Bosen!"

"Fart, you deserve to have this kind of thing too? When my Skarda doesn't exist?"

"Hahahaha, I'm so ridiculous, do you terrapins know what an oriental picture scroll is? My grandfather is a painter for generations, and this treasure will not be dusted if it is owned by my family."

The auction has not officially started, and some people are already clamoring.

Lu Yi saw that the intensity of this competition was completely beyond his expectations.

In addition to some aristocrats who have bad intentions and want to fight for face, there are also people who really come for the artistic value of the picture scroll itself.

"Don't get excited, the auction items tonight will definitely be sold one by one. Now I will announce the starting price of the original Wu Daozi..."

The hostess looked around for a week, intentionally or unconsciously staying in Lu Yi's direction for a few more seconds.

Afterwards, I just heard her say: "One million euros!"

One million euros to buy a picture scroll is already a sky-high price.

But as soon as the hostess's voice fell, she was repeatedly raised by the rich and noble people below.

"Two million euros!"

"five million!"

"Five million euros also want to get the authentic work of Wu Daozi. Didn't your family teach you to read? With these historical levels, I am embarrassed to stare at the scrolls of ancient eastern countries? I will pay 10 million!"

"Ten million is so much? I give thirty million euros!"

"One billion!"

Wow--

When someone bid one hundred million, the audience was in an uproar.

Lu Yi couldn't help but look at him.

In less than half a minute, the price increased from one million to one hundred million, which is faster than riding a rocket.

"These **** are really rich!" Lu Yi suddenly had an idea.

If all the people in this ship are kidnapped today, and then everyone extorts most of their wealth, wouldn't they be rich tomorrow?

Of course, Lu Yi just thought about this idea.

With his current status and vision, money has no attraction to him.

"These people are shouting prices too fiercely, and some people we didn't expect have also started shouting." Zhao Qingsi said in Lu Yi's ear.

"Unexpected person?"

"Yes, there are several European artists with prominent backgrounds and reputations who also participated in the auction. They are very interested in Eastern culture. With their participation, our bidding will be more difficult." Zhao Qingsi explained. .

In fact, what Zhao Qingsi said was not what Lu Yi was most worried about.

Spiritual thoughts enveloped the entire venue, and Lu Yi found that a group of people remained silent.

But their attention is the most concentrated in the audience.

This shows that they are extremely concerned about the authentic Wu Daozi in the auction, and the reason why they haven't bid for the price is because they are waiting for a suitable time.

Lu Yi felt that these talents were the most difficult guys.

And one of them is Pilsen who looks somewhat similar to Spalding.

At this moment, a loud voice shocked the audience.

"Five hundred million euros!"
