Rebirth Picking Leaks Started in 1992

Chapter 537

Unfortunately, due to various reasons in the previous life, this treasure could never be brought back.

In this way, Jiang Yuan was going to participate in this auction no matter what.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was interested in participating, Huo Jianghua continued: "This auction is held by Rockeffield Auction House. One thing that is troublesome is that it requires a very cumbersome process to obtain a place to participate in the auction. Normally, at least

It will take half a month.”

"In that case, you won't be able to make it in time."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Is there any other way?"

Huo Jianghua thought for a while, "Since you are in the antique circle, you should also know some people from the auction company, right?"

"If you are in the auction industry, the process will be much faster. It can be completed in about two days."

Jiang Yuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan went to make a call, and the call went directly to Chen Qiping's office at the Jiade Auction headquarters in Beijing.

After hearing what happened from Jiang Yuan, Chen Qiping said that she also knew about the auction and told Jiang Yuan that she would immediately contact Rockeffield Auction House in the name of Jiade Auction. One of her classmates now works at Rockeffield Auction House.

An hour later, Chen Qiping called back and told Jiang Yuan to go to the Rockeffield Auction House office so that the procedures could be completed today.

Jiang Yuan didn't waste any time and rushed directly to the office.

Because Jiang Yuan was not familiar with the road conditions, Huo Jianghua asked Su Tian to accompany Jiang Yuan.

After arriving, a mixed-race young man received Jiang Yuan and the other two.

He was Chen Qiping's classmate when she studied abroad and was very happy to help.

In less than two hours, Jiang Yuan got the ticket to participate in the auction.

The auction is three days away, but the exhibition has started today.

The exhibition was only two blocks away from where Jiang Yuan and the others were. Because Su Tian still had some things to deal with, Jiang Yuan came to the exhibition hall alone.

In fact, most of the things on display in the exhibition hall are Western works of art. There are also a few Eastern antiques, but they are not very precious.

The Nanhai Guanyin statue that Jiang Yuan wanted to see was not put on display.

Jiang Yuan looked at all the exhibits and was not very interested in any of them. Although there were one or two pieces worth collecting, they were all Western artworks, which Jiang Yuan felt did not suit his taste.

In the next two days, Jiang Yuan and others stayed in Chinatown, almost forgetting that they were abroad.

On the day of the auction, Jiang Yuan got up early, and after some discussion, he decided to just go there with Huo Jianghua.

First, because the admission ticket only allowed Jiang Yuan to enter. Of course, he could bring a female companion, but Jiang Yuan felt that it was better for Ye Zhiqiu to have a good rest. She has not yet recovered from jet lag and has been easily tired in recent days.

When they arrived at the place where the auction was held, someone checked the tickets of Jiang Yuan and Huo Jianghua and then let them into the venue.

There were only a few hundred people in the auction hall, all of whom were wealthy people from Country M. There were also several people with Oriental faces, but from Jiang Yuan's perspective, those people should be from the Philippines and Country H.

After the auction started, it was a boring introduction and bidding process.

Jiang Yuan was not interested in these things, and Huo Jianghua had been closing his eyes to rest.

It wasn't until the staff brought out a Buddha statue that Jiang Yuan and Huo Jianghua stared at each other at the same time.

This Buddha statue is very large, almost two and a half meters high, and about one and a half meters wide.

It is rare to see such a large Buddha statue, and it was left over from the Liao and Jin Dynasties.

Not only that, even though this treasure is very big, the carving is very detailed and exquisite, and it is also well preserved, with a vivid and vivid expression.

People feel inexplicably at ease and full of charm!

It can be said that there are probably not many such perfect Buddha statues in the entire world.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, and then came the most stressful part of the quotation.

Jiang Yuan's eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the venue, trying to figure out who was interested in this Nanhai Guanyin statue from the Liao and Jin Dynasties.

But Jiang Yuan discovered that many people from Country M also showed interest.

These foreigners who don’t understand Buddhist culture are actually interested.

But his intuition told Jiang Yuan that his biggest competitors should be those Easterners.

The person in charge of the auction on the stage was an old man with white hair. Judging from his age, he must be at least sixty years old.

The low price of this Nanhai Guanyin statue is actually one million US dollars.

Jiang Yuan suddenly frowned, not because he thought the starting price was too high, but rather because he thought it was too low.

This is a national treasure. Foreigners are really ignorant!

Jiang Yuan was filled with anger.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses quoted one hundred and one hundred thousand.

Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry to quote.

The few Easterners didn't bid, but were paying attention to the situation.

Soon, the offer came to three million US dollars.

Seeing that there were no more bids, a dark-skinned Asian man spoke, "Three and a half million US dollars!"

"Three and a half million dollars a time!"

"Three and a half million for the second time!"

When the old man was about to shout for the third time, a thin, single-eyed man with fair skin raised his hand and said, "Four million."

Jiang Yuan guessed that the man with dark skin should be from the Philippines, and the man with very fair skin, single eyelids and makeup should be from the H country.

The two went head-to-head, and the price was quickly raised to five million US dollars.

The two of them looked at Jiang Yuan and Huo Jianghua almost at the same time.

Because Jiang Yuan and Huo Jianghua noticed it when they entered the venue.

Not only Jiang Yuan and Huo Jianghua, but also the Orientals in the venue were the objects of their attention.

But Jiang Yuan still held his temper and did not make an offer.

Huo Jianghua lowered his voice and said to Jiang Yuan: "No matter how much the price is, we will take the photo. You quote the price. If the money is not enough, I will have it here."

Jiang Yuan nodded, because he didn't know how much it would cost, so he didn't refuse Huo Jianghua's kindness.

Soon, the Filipino bid again, and this time the price had reached six million US dollars.

The H countryman obviously hesitated.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan spoke.

"Seven million."

The old man in charge of the auction originally thought that the auction of this Buddha statue was going to end soon, but he didn't expect Jiang Yuan to directly increase the price by one million.

This made him very excited. The estimated transaction price of this thing was about five million US dollars, and now it has reached seven million.

The old man had a premonition that the transaction price of this Buddha statue might exceed that of the oil painting originally intended to be used as the finale.

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's quotation, the Filipino snorted and said directly: "Seven and a half million!"

Jiang Yuan said without batting an eyelid, "Eight million!"

The Filipino squinted his eyes, his eyes full of coldness, "Nine million!"

Jiang Yuan said expressionlessly: "Ten million."

"Eleven million!"

Jiang Yuan sneered, if picking up leaks at home was his ability, then when he got here, he would show off his magnanimity in everything he said and let these foreigners realize the strength of the descendants of Yanxia.

"Twenty million!"

Jiang Yuan directly raised the price by nine million, which immediately caused everyone in the venue to start talking.

They were very sure that they didn't know Jiang Yuan, and they didn't know when such a young and wealthy man appeared in Las Vegas.

However, some people have divergent thinking and think that Jiang Yuan is a foreigner who comes to visit.

But a person sitting on the edge frowned.

He is Sheldon's subordinate. He came here not to participate in the auction, but to observe the foreigners present.

This is their usual routine, to find out which foreigners have money, then coax them to the casino, and then swindle them out of a lot of money.

Obviously, he paid attention to Shang Jiangyuan.

But he didn't know yet that his boss Sheldon had already lost face in the hands of this young man.

The Filipinos were obviously angry and were shocked by Jiang Yuan's price.

He was very aware of the value of the boy Guanyin statue. Although he knew that the statue was a treasure of the Yanxia people, he was determined to get it and specially prepared 30 million US dollars for it.

He gritted his teeth and roared, "Twenty-five million!"

Jiang Yuan sneered, "Thirty million!"

The Filipinos immediately panicked. The most he could afford was 30 million.

He glanced at Jiang Yuan and began to think.

He didn't think Jiang Yuan would be richer than him. These 30 million must be all Jiang Yuan's money!

Thinking of this, he said coldly: "Thirty-one million!"

He can get this one million with just a little thought.

But as soon as Jiang Yuan opened his mouth, he despaired.

"Forty million!"

Everyone in the venue was shocked.

There are not many people here who can get 40 million US dollars!

They didn't expect that an Oriental could be so rich.

Subconsciously, many people suspected that Jiang Yuan was making random quotes because he didn't have that much money at all.

The Filipino had the most violent reaction. He stood up, looked at the old man in charge of the auction on the stage and said, "I asked for capital verification. He must not have that much money!"

As soon as he said this, the old man on the stage also frowned.

He looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Sir, do you accept capital verification?"

Jiang Yuan's eyes were cold, "Why should I accept capital verification? Why should I accept your doubts? Just continue the auction. In the end, if I can't pay, then you can do whatever you want!"

The old man thought for a while, nodded and looked at the Filipino, "Sir, do you want to continue to quote?"

The Filipino's face turned pale. He knew that this Buddha statue would not be a loss even if it cost 100 million, but he didn't have that much money!

In the end, the old man bid three times and decided that the Buddha statue belonged to Jiang Yuan.

After a while, Jiang Yuan was invited to a room.

Jiang Yuan paid the bill freely and gave the little old man and a group of responsible persons a blank look.

This group of people was extremely embarrassed, but they could only apologize with smiles on their faces.

And Jiang Yuan couldn't wait to take away the Nanhai Guanyin Statue.

In order not to damage the Buddha statue, Jiang Yuan refused to be packed by the auctioneer. Instead, he asked Huo Jianghua to go back and asked Qin Wen, Qin Wu and Su Tian to drive over with the tools, and Jiang Yuan had to pack them himself.

Three hours later, Jiang Yuan put the Buddha statue into a wooden box, which contained a lot of materials to prevent collisions. Even if it had to be bumpy on the ship for more than a month, there would definitely be no problems.

Because of the auction, Jiang Yuan had already delayed boarding the ship. The cargo ship that was supposed to leave in the early morning was still waiting at the port.

In order to make the other party wait, Huo Jianghua paid a full 200,000 US dollars.
