Chapter 10 Christie's Auction
"Ding! The host completes a hidden task and uses the disease treatment talisman to prevent the Big Gold Teeth from dying from asthma because of the plot in advance."
"Reward (1): News about chalcedony, chalcedony, earth, and yin dual attribute spiritual energy crystal, and the main material for the corpse-suppressing talisman."
"Reward (2): The three-clear bells at the magical instrument level, the function, the illusion is eliminated, and the use is used in conjunction with the corpse-driven talisman."
"Reward (Three): Magical Artifact-level Peach Wood Sword, which can deal with zombies and suppress houses and ward off evil spirits."
“Choose one of three, please make a choice?”
Cao Yi, who was standing aside and watching the fun, couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard the system's prompts.
Is this system intentional? Knowing that it has difficulty choosing, it has made three more options.
This time, when I went to the Goddess’ Tomb, in addition to collecting the red shore flower, I also had to collect a thousand-year-old zombie. Each of the three options given by the system is indispensable.
After thinking for a while, Cao Yi didn't make a choice.
"There are three seconds left, the host did not make a selection, so it was changed to random selection."
"Ding! Select a reward"
"News on chalcedony: Tonight, there was a Christie's auction at the Pierre Hotel Taj Mahal. One of the auction items, a jade from Myanmar called Purple Dragon King, contains a small amount of chalcedony."
An auction held in a premium hotel?
Not everyone can enter this.
Cao Yi frowned and looked at Mark, who had just finished talking with Wang Kaixuan.
As the legal representative of Global Mining Group, this guy should have a solution.
"Master, I'll take you back"
It happened to be that Mark who also came over and said with a smile.
The respect for the teacher was so frightening to Cao Yi's attitude, and he was very puzzled. He just saw Cao Yi with his own eyes relied on a cup of water to soak the yellow talisman, which made an asthma patient become safe. All his confusion disappeared.
This is a magical oriental man, and the closer he gets to such a person, the more benefits he has.
Cao Yi, who didn't know that Mark had made up his mind to please him, shook his head and said, "You can't go back yet. Tonight, there will be an auction held by Christie's at the Pierre Hotel in Taj Mahal. There are things I need. Can you get an invitation?"
Mark didn't know how to please Cao Yi, but hesitated and said, "No problem, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, Mark took out his mobile phone again and made a call.
Cao Yi didn't expect Mark to be so readily. He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that this guy was probably shocked by his rescue actions just now.
As the legal representative of Global Mining Group, it is very easy to get a few invitations to Christie's auction.
After a call was made, Mark smiled and said, "It's done, you can go now."
Cao Yi nodded and turned his eyes to the Big Gold Teeth who was about to leave. Wang Kaixuan asked the two: "Are you interested in going together?"
Big Jinya's body shook and nodded in surprise.
He is a person who likes antiques, lively and big scenes. During this period in the United States, because he was short of money and had no official identity, he had been lingering at the bottom of society. He has longed for the legendary large auction.
"And you?"
Cao Yi looked at Wang Kaixuan.
This guy, from the moment he saw the pattern of the red shore flower on the contract, he fell into a strange state, sometimes sad and excited.
"I won't go, I'll set out tomorrow. I have to find a way to trick Lao Hu away."
Wang Kaixuan shook his head and refused.
Cao Yi didn't force him.
A few minutes later, Wang Kaixuan called a taxi to leave, Cao Yi and Dajinya took Mark's car to the Pierre Hotel in Taj Mahal.
The Pierre Hotel Taj Mahal is a five-star hotel.
Times Square in New York is 2.4 km away.
The Empire State Building is 2.8 km away.
Broadway Avenue is 3.4 km away.
United Nations Headquarters is 2.6 km away.
The location is excellent.
Arriving at the hotel, handing the car to the valet parking service staff, the three of them spoke and entered the hotel lobby.
A man in a black suit came towards him and gave Mark three beautifully crafted invitations.
This person is undoubtedly a staff member of Christie's.
The three of them took the elevator to the entrance of the auction hall. After verification, they entered the crowded auction hall.
Cao Yi was surprised to find that at least two-thirds of the Asian faces with black hair and yellow skin accounted for at least two-thirds.
Most of these people are over fifty years old and speak Cantonese, Baodao Mandarin, Asian English, and Japanese. When they saw a Taoist priest coming in, they all showed a surprised expression.
"Why are there so many Asians? Is this auction specially held for Asians?"
Big Gold Teeth murmured in a low voice.
The first time he came to such a "high-end" occasion, he lost his usual style.
"Sit first"
Cao Yi, who was staring at by a group of old men, walked towards the area where few people sat in the middle.
Big Gold Teeth and Mark all accompanied the prince to study, so naturally they followed Cao Yi wherever he went.
After sitting down, Cao Yi opened the brochure prepared at the auction and finally knew why there were so many Asian faces.
Among the auction items, there are many cultural relics from the Qing Dynasty imperial palace in China. I thought it was known with my toes that they were stolen, stolen, and smuggled by the scum among the Chinese.
"Master, which one are you going to take?"
Mark came over and asked.
Cao Yi turned the brochure to the ninth page and pointed to a piece of jade called Purple Dragon King at the bottom right.
"This, okay, I'll pay the auction deposit."
Mark took a look, got up and left the seat.
Cao Yi continued to flip through the brochures, and became more and more popular.
Jade seal from the Qianlong period.
The red jujube with red jujube in the Wanli area of the Ming Dynasty, blue and white tangled lotus and plum vase.
The bronze ware of the Western Zhou Dynasty "tiger pussy".
The horse's head, one of the 12 zodiac bronze heads.
Yuan blue and white brocade fragrant pavilion picture jar.
...
One by one, Chinese cultural treasures were taken out by foreigners to auction for profit.
"Good evening, ladies, I am John Feng, the auctioneer who hosted this auction. I am very happy that everyone will come to participate in this auction mainly based on Chinese art. Last month, our auction house sold twenty-one precious Chinese art, with a transaction amount of more than 15 million US dollars. Today's auction will definitely be more successful..."
At some point, a Chinese auctioneer appeared on the auction stand and gave his opening remarks in Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Japanese with a smile on his face.
There was warm applause from some places where Europeans and Americans gathered.
No one moved where Asians and Hong Kong and Taiwan wealthy people gathered.
After the Chinese auctioneer finished speaking, he did not start, but told a few American jokes, which caused a burst of laughter from Europeans and Americans.
"Business women do not know how to forget the country's hatred, but still sing the back garden flowers across the river"
A voice in a broken Chinese voice came from the entrance of the auction house.
The whole auction house became quiet.
The Chinese auctioneer's expression suddenly became very stiff.
Chapter completed!
