Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 1036: Do you really want to play with mud? (1/2)

At eight o'clock in the evening, the auction started on time.

First comes the auctioneer, who is also a white glove.

After a simple warm-up session, it was time to enter the auction session.

The first item that appeared on the scene was unique. It was an ancient Egyptian mummy. The base price was US$50,000, and each increase in price would be no less than US$10,000. .

Li Tieniu was stunned for a moment: "Can this thing be auctioned?"

Boban explained to him: "In major museums, most mummies are collected, and some people prefer them, hoping to gain the secret of eternal life."

Li Tieniu, who was fearless, had goosebumps all over his body: "I'm convinced, I won't sleep with my arms around the mummy, right?"

"That's not true, but a few centuries ago, those painters made yellow paint from mummies and used it to paint oil paintings."

Boban knows quite a lot, and when he talks about some interesting things, he sounds a little horrified.

Sure enough, this mummy was still very popular. Everyone was vying for it, and the price kept rising. Finally, the price rose to half a million US dollars.

However, there were only two or three people participating in the bidding, and they all bid very cautiously.

"Add ten thousand US dollars." Liu Qingshan finally raised his sign.

"Senior Brother, how unlucky would it be for us to go back with this thing?" Li Tieniu quickly stopped him.

Even Li Tie, who rarely spoke, muttered: "We should remain in awe of the deceased."

Liu Qingshan smiled and said nothing. He wanted to test the reaction of Looney and others.

"Mr. No. 8 bids US$510,000. Is there any other gentleman who bids?"

The auctioneer is also working very hard. The competition for the first lot is so fierce. It seems that there will be good profits today.

Soon he saw another number plate raised, so he quickly announced excitedly: "Mr. No. 3, bid 520,000 US dollars!"

No. 3 is the number plate in Looney's hand.

The corners of Liu Qingshan's mouth raised slightly, and he raised his sign again, adding another ten thousand.

Looney was a little hesitant. He was a little confused about Liu Qingshan's intentions. Did he really want to take a photo of the mummy, or did he want to lure him into a trap?

After thinking about it, Looney finally didn't have the courage to raise his number plate.

He was really afraid that Liu Qingshan would give up immediately after he made the quotation. What was the use of Looney having a mummy?

With these hundreds of thousands of dollars, wouldn't it be nice to find a group of young and beautiful girls?

The auctioneer yelled several times, but no one bid again. Finally, the mummy was sold for US$530,000.

"Senior Brother, you can carry it back by yourself when the time comes." Li Tieniu muttered.

Liu Qingshan chuckled: "Boban, you are responsible for contacting the museum in Egypt and donating directly. After all, fallen leaves return to their roots," wAp.

His voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for people around him to hear.

There was a low exclamation in the auction hall.

"Boss, I admire you so much!" Boban also flattered him.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars were donated without batting an eye.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "All ancient civilizations are used to commemorate and worship, and should not be reduced to tools for profit. Their hometown is their best destination."

In the auction hall, almost everyone looked here, and many people showed respect in their eyes.

"Buying fame and reputation." Looney snorted. He felt that he understood Mountain's thoughts a little bit, and he could safely raise the price to the other party.

The second auction item is on the market. This is a set of clay tablets, totaling more than 30 yuan, with a reserve price of 20,000 US dollars.

It is said that it was excavated in the country of Iraq, and it is engraved with cuneiform writing. It is a legacy of the Sumerian civilization, the oldest known civilization today.

This kind of writing is even older than the Chinese oracle bone inscriptions.

Vera suddenly became excited: "I have studied cuneiform writing. These clay tablets are very precious!"

Liu Qingshan smiled and almost forgot that there was a master of language and writing beside him.

So he nodded to Vera: "Then you can participate in the bidding. It is my wedding gift to you. But remember, after researching it, return the object to its original owner and donate it to the museum in West Asia."

Vera's eyes lit up immediately: "I will definitely do it."

After saying that, he raised the sign high and said, "Add one hundred thousand dollars!"

Li Tie quickly pulled her arm: Although it's not our own money, we can't throw it away like this?

Liu Qingshan also laughed. In fact, in the auction house, this kind of momentum is also very good, and it can make competitors retreat in spite of difficulties.

However, Looney, who had already put all his energy into raising the price for Liu Qingshan, quickly took it up with Vera.

Two people are fighting for each other, and other competitors cannot get in at all.

Those who want to get these clay tablets are mostly researchers from some universities or representatives of museums. They have limited funds and of course they will not spend so much money.

In less than a minute, the price climbed to 300,000 US dollars. There were only more than 30 clay tablets in total, and they were all priced at 10,000 US dollars.

This price is not high at all.

Just like those tortoise shell animal bones that carry oracle bone inscriptions, every piece is equally precious.

Vera seemed to be angry too, adding another hundred thousand dollars to the price, and then glanced at Looney provocatively.

Not to be outdone, Looney also added 100,000.

The two argued for several more rounds, and the price of the clay tablet had risen to 800,000 US dollars.

The auctioneer was very happy. In his heart, if these clay tablets could fetch 300,000 yuan, it would be extremely high.

"Nine hundred thousand!" Vera bid again!

Luni didn't even think about it, and habitually raised the sign: "One million."

Vera exhaled hard, and then fell on the chair like a deflated ball: "Although I really want to get these clay tablets, all our assets, added together, are only one million."

It turned out that this girl was going to pay for it herself, and now this price has reached her limit.

"Vera, do you need help?" Liu Qingshan asked again, because he was the one who paid.

Vera blinked at Liu Qingshan, and then waved her hands weakly: "Forget it, in fact, there are hundreds of thousands of clay tablets that have been discovered so far, and many have not been studied yet."

This is normal. Take the oracle bone script as an example. So far, after nearly a hundred years of research by scholars, more than a thousand have been successfully identified.

But the total number is almost five thousand.

"Okay then." Liu Qingshan also shook his head regretfully, and she read a cunning in Vera's eyes.

Vera soon became cheerful again and said to Looney:

"Mr. Looney, congratulations on getting these clay tablets. I hope you keep them well and don't let your children get them wet and play with them as mud."

At the same time, the auctioneer also knocked the gavel: "Congratulations to Mr. No. 3 for getting these clay tablets."

There was also sparse applause at the scene, which made Looney, who was in a daze, suddenly sober up: They belong to me, why don't you bid?

But what do I need these clay tablets for? Do I really want to play with mud?

Looney's face turned very bad. He felt like he was a little cheated. He wanted to raise the price for the other party, but he was too immersed in the play and smashed it into his hand.

But in public, he couldn't lose his demeanor, so he could only bite the bullet and wave his hand gently.

But in his heart, it was even more uncomfortable than swallowing mud.

The next item to be auctioned was the large square tripod. The starting price was 500,000 US dollars. Liu Qingshan directly added 100,000 US dollars, and then nodded to Looney with a smile.

Looney had not yet recovered from what happened just now. He was confused and didn't know whether to bid or not.

Similarly, the friends around him didn't dare to bid, fearing that the situation just now would happen.

There were also several Chinese faces who were interested in this large tripod, but after seeing Liu Qingshan's bid, they did not participate in the competition.

As a result, this large tripod was sold for 600,000 US dollars.

Even the auctioneer was a little confused: in their expectations, this large square tripod would be sold for millions of US dollars.

The happiest people were of course Lu Fang and Boban. In their plan, as long as the price did not exceed 2 million, they would participate.

The national treasures such as the large tripod are rarely seen at ordinary times, not to mention that there are inscriptions inside the tripod.

I never thought that it would be taken down at such a low price. It was really a bit overjoyed.

These two guys are also smart people. They gradually figured out Liu Qingshan's routine, which is true and false, real and fake.

The useless mummy was photographed and donated directly, which also won respect.

Asked Vera to participate in the clay tablet auction to set a trap for Looney, and scared him away from participating.

In this way, there are basically no competitors.

These two are also often in the auction house. I feel that I have learned a lot from Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan and his team have completed the task by taking down this large square tripod, because they are not interested in the cultural relics of other civilizations.

However, they have already made a statement in advance, so they still have to participate.

For the next few items, Liu Qingshan also raised his card several times, and then stopped.

His money is not blown by the wind. Donating the mummy is just a gesture, and by the way, it hits Looney and others, so as not to cause trouble when bidding for the large square tripod.

Even the clay tablet was bid up to a million dollars. If there was a fight over this large square tripod, it would cost at least several million.

In fact, Liu Qingshan still made a profit after all the calculations.

And Lu Ni finally came to his senses, feeling even more uncomfortable, and secretly made up his mind not to let Liu Qingshan succeed easily again.

The voice of the auctioneer on the stage rang out again: "The next lot No. 10 is a precious cultural relic from the pre-Columbian period, the golden mask!"

The so-called pre-Columbian period is the Indian period, which refers to the period before Columbus discovered the American continent. At that time, the American continent was inhabited by Indians.

The Indians created civilizations such as the Mayan civilization, and the lost cultural relics have always been popular with collectors.

Seeing the golden mask on display, many bidders immediately began to get ready.

Soon, the price exceeded one million US dollars after the competition.

"One million and one hundred thousand." Liu Qingshan finally bid.

"One million and five hundred thousand!" Lu Ni also had a gloomy face and directly raised the price sharply.

Liu Qingshan was not to be outdone: "Two million. I happen to know an Indian chief. I plan to give him this mask as a testimony of our friendship, and then play a song for him, The Last of the Mohicans."

Originally, there were several bidders who wanted to participate, but after listening to Liu Qingshan's words, they all silently put down their number plates.

Only Looney had a cold smile on his face: "Two and a half million!"

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim red blood rain.

The city was in ruins, everything was withered, collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, and blue-black corpses and pieces of meat were seen everywhere, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.

The streets that were bustling in the past are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy at this moment.

Only blood mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper remained, unable to distinguish one from the other, shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking alone at the mottled stones in front.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept through his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about 70 feet away from him, and occasionally vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, it would instantly take off at the slightest movement.
