Chapter 51 The Auction (1)

The absurd thing about indulging in lust in the daytime and sleeping together made Jin Nuanyu pinch Li Yueling's soft flesh afterwards to show slight punishment. Of course, Li Yueling, as the person involved, did not think that there was anything wrong with this, and even threatened to start a war again. He scared Jin Nuanyu, who was already sore and soft, and begged for mercy, which made Li Yueling stop.

Due to the "impulse" of Li Yueling and Jin Nuanyu again, the two of them even had the event they had agreed to go to the casino to have fun. At this moment, Li Yueling was watching Jin Nuanyu busy choosing the clothes they would wear in the room to attend the auction conference in the evening.

"Yue Ling, is this red one better or beige one?" Jin Nuanyu, who was more beautiful than Hua Jiao, held a piece of clothing in her left and right hands, and compared it to her graceful figure, asking Li Yueling.

Li Yueling smiled and said, "We wear warm jade in our house, everything is beautiful, but today's occasion is more suitable for beige."

When Jin Nuanyu adopted Li Yueling's opinion and changed into a beige low-cut long skirt and put on several elegant positions, Li Yueling's eyes couldn't help but lit up and said to herself, maybe this is what is called Lizi born.

"Does it look good?" Jin Nuanyu said with a slight smile.

Li Yueling frowned slightly, stared for a while before posing with a serious expression, "Do you want to listen to the truth or lies?"

"Of course it's the truth!"

"It's very beautiful..." A smile flashed across Li Yueling's lips.

Upon hearing this, Jin Nuanyu said curiously: "What about the lies?"

"It's so beautiful." Li Yueling's serious expression combined with his focused eyes made it hard to imagine that he was telling lies.

"You are so bad." Jin Nuanyu was amused by the words of her lover, and she laughed so hard that her branches trembled. She took the initiative to come forward and offer a warm and fragrant kiss.

After Li Yueling returned to her room and changed into a more formal suit, it was not long before the auction began. The two of them talked and laughed and went to the biggest event of this sea trip - the cruise auction.

The theater covering an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters on Queen Mary No. 2 has now been built into an auction house. When Li Yueling and Jin Nuanyu both entered the auction house, it immediately attracted the attention of many tourists. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. Such an outstanding couple is really a match made by heaven in the eyes of others.

Because Li Yueling and Jin Nuanyu held VIP tickets, they were directly arranged to enter the private room of VIP seats. After the two sat down, Li Yueling roughly looked at the distribution in the theater and found that there were too many people. The theaters divided into four major areas were basically full, and there were still people entering the venue, at least there should be a thousand people.

Inadvertently, Li Yueling's eyes reached the seat next door, and he was sitting there, Cliff, a white man who had met in the casino that day, which made Li Yueling extremely curious. Cliff also happened to glance over and faced Li Yueling's eyes.

The two of them had a staggering look, but the keen senses of Li Yueling still sensed a hint of surprise from Cliff's eyes. They couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, did the other party also find himself a person with supernatural powers?

This idea did not stay in Li Yueling's mind for a long time. At this time, Baron Cardoso, who hosted the auction conference, boarded the hexagonal star-shaped platform that had been changed to the auction table and loudly announced the auction rules. The many wealthy merchants who had already taken the seat all calmed down.

After listening to the auction rules announced by Baron Cardoso with interest, Li Yueling couldn't help but think in his heart that the things he sent for could be sold at a price.

All the lights on the auction table were lit up, and a foreign auctioneer walked up to the stage and saw a high platform slowly rising from the center of the auction table, with something covered with red cloth on it. It seemed that it was the first item at this auction.

Jin Nuanyu, who was standing beside him, pulled Li Yueling's sleeve, pointed to a very small round box in front of them and said, "This should be the auction bidder. It seems that they have put a lot of effort into this cruise auction."

When Li Yueling heard this, he saw that there was a row of buttons on the box, namely red, green, purple, white and black. Under the buttons, the corresponding numbers were marked with Arabic numerals. Red represents the bid price of 10,000; green represents the bid price of 50,000; purple represents the bid price of 10,000; white represents the bid price of 10,000; and the last black button represents the price of 10 million. Of course, it must be mentioned that the items auctioned at this cruise auction are calculated in US dollars.

In fact, before entering the auction, every guest participating in the auction was distributed to an exquisite brochure, which not only introduced the rules of the auction conference in detail, but also listed various items that would appear at the auction. However, there was no record of the items sent by tourists on their own.

The loud voice of the auctioneer came into everyone present through the microphone, "The first lot was made during Napoleon III, and it was engraved with a round table like Louis XIV. The starting price is 50,000 yuan, and the auction begins."

At this time, Jin Nuanyu whispered to Li Yueling: "At the beginning, there was always nothing good, and the fine products were basically left behind." It seems that she has a deep understanding of the auction, at least she knows much more than Li Yueling, a layman.

Sure enough, after a few rounds of bidding, the first item was sold for 80,000 US dollars. The next ten items were the highest, and the highest price was only 300,000.

It seemed that everyone present knew the truth that good things always stayed at the end. Although there has not been a climax yet, the atmosphere in the auction venue is still very good.

Finally, when the auctioneer loudly reported the name of the sixteenth item, people's eyes began to shine.

"The 10-meter-long "Li Sao Jing" scroll by the great calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty in China, embroidered with a huge life tent embroidered by a hundred birds to pay homage to the phoenix... The starting price is 4 million, and the auction begins."

As the auctioneer finished speaking, it immediately caused a huge response from everyone in the audience, especially many Chinese rich merchants were even more moved. You should know that this long scroll of Mi Fu's "Li Sao Jing" can be said to be a veritable national treasure! In a short while, the price had risen to 7 million US dollars, and by this time there were obviously fewer people participating in the competition for this item. Finally, this national treasure was earned by a wealthy Chinese merchant at a sky-high price of 7.5 million.

Li Yueling, who had been observing, couldn't help feeling relieved and smiled with peace of mind, "Fortunately, this item was not bought for foreigners, otherwise wouldn't our China lose a national treasure?" Jin Nuanyu next to him seemed to have the same idea as Li Yueling, and he leaned close to Li Yueling's ear and said softly: "If this final price was not called by the Chinese, Nuanyu would definitely compete for it."

Feeling Jin Nuanyu's understanding, Li Yueling pointed at Jin Nuanyu's pretty and lovely nose with her fingers, and smiled and said, "This is called husband and wife following her."

The following items were indeed good things, and each transaction price was more than one million US dollars. It seemed that all the items that had been booked were sold. The auctioneer on the stage said again: "The next thing that started the auction will be the treasures and antiques sent by dozens of tourists on this cruise ship. These items have been identified and verified by experts and officially started the auction."
