The golden crown caused the entire place to be rather quiet. Presumably, these rich people of high society were also looking forward to the bidding of this item.
"This Ming dynasty golden crown was personally bestowed by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di to his trusted eunuchs of the Eastern Intelligence Bureau!" The auctioneer began.
This golden crown really caused everyone's eyes to light up.
"The Ming dynasty had two emperors that people respected. One was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming dynasty. Zhu Di was also not an ordinary person. After the war of Jingnan, the Ming dynasty was also very desolate. However, he was able to create the Yongle Age of Prosperity. This emperor who spent his entire life on the battlefield was not much worse than Zhu Yuanzhang. "
"Zheng He's expedition to the west was Zhu Yuanzhang's achievement. If it wasn't for the huge expenditure and the Ming dynasty being conservative, where would there be Columbus? The first Columbus would be the Ming dynasty's navigator, and the first colonial empire would be the Ming dynasty. "
The praise for Ming Chengzu and the Yongle Age of Prosperity was to raise the value of this golden crown.
The auctioneer finally shifted the topic back to the price. However, when the price came out, the crowd was a bit annoyed.
"The starting price of this golden crown is 500 million! Every increment starts at 50 million. "
500 million?
A golden crown! Was it worth it or not? No one could say for sure! This was an auction, and the starting price was already so high. How could people pay?
"500 million? You want us to bid for a golden crown that was once worn by a eunuch? "Dongcheng Jiu Ye, who was in the middle room of the second floor, suddenly spoke.
Everyone's attention was focused on Jiu Ye.
"Are you joking?" Jiu Ye was clearly a bit impatient. "This toy is not Ming Chengzu's golden crown. If it was worn by the emperor, even if you bid 1 billion, I would still dare to light a lantern! A crown that was once worn by a eunuch dares to bid such a price? Nonsense! "
Jiu Ye was angry!
This was something that the auction organizer did not expect.
The price was set by the seller. Moreover, this was really a top quality item from the Ming dynasty, and it was personally bestowed by the emperor! This price was really not low, right?
Jiu Ye had already said such words. Who would be willing to be a fool and bid such a high price?
Just the words' a hat worn by eunuchs' had negated the value of this antique national treasure. Master Jiu's words were really powerful in the circle.
No one had expected that just because of Lord Jiu's words, this golden crown would not be auctioned. No one cared about it.
Xu Yun, who originally wanted to watch a good show, also felt bored, so he motioned for Chou Yeon to leave with him first.
There was no point in continuing to stay here. Otherwise, there would be more people later. When they went out, they might be looked down upon because they were driving a broken Cayenne.
As the auction continued, Xu Yun and Chou Yeon quickly left the club.
There was another reason why Xu Yun couldn't sit still. The Dragon Brigade's training was about to end, and he wanted to rush over.
He really needed to tell Chang Mo and the others about this matter.
…
A golden crown that could have been used as a stabilizing item was not auctioned off just like that. As for the other small items, Master Nine did not fancy them at all. The atmosphere at the scene was getting lower and lower.
After the auction ended, Master Jiu still left in a huff.
It was all because the messenger didn't spread the news clearly, saying that it was some Ming Chengzu's golden crown. Bullsh * t! If he knew that this was a gift from Ming Chengzu to a eunuch, he wouldn't have participated even if it was a diamond crown.
After everything ended, both the buyer and seller were happy and sad.
The seller of this golden crown was probably the most disappointed person. That damn Old Jiu, how dare he ruin his business!
He firmly believed that if it wasn't for that old bastard's words, his golden crown would definitely be sold.
It might not be sold for one billion or eight hundred million, but there would definitely be people who could afford it.
After all the backstage procedures were completed, this person and two attendants took the golden crown and prepared to leave.
Such a valuable item, and the three of them dared to put it in the car. How much confidence did they have to dare to do so?
"Friend, I wonder if I can disturb you for a few minutes." Black Water's appearance obviously made the three of them instantly alert.
This was a private passage at the back of the club. Outsiders were not allowed to enter.
"Who are you?" The leading middle-aged man's eyes were like thunder, staring directly at Black Water.
"I …" Black Water smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is how much benefit I can bring to you. What do you think? "
The middle-aged man's face showed a touch of doubt, "What do you want to do?"
"Please rest assured, I have no interest in the golden crown in your car." Black Water continued. At this time, the two attendants behind the middle-aged man began to surround Black Water.
Seeing this, Black Water sensibly raised his hands, "No, no, no, I have no evil intentions. Even if I'm ignorant, I won't be stupid enough to provoke the Blood Wolf Group alone."
Hearing Black Water's words, the middle-aged man's face was full of surprise.
He dared to say these three words and found him. It was really unbelievable.
The other two people's faces were also full of surprise, and their eyes fell on the leader.
"You're really brave. You have some strength." The middle-aged man said.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me." Black Water said, "Let's not talk in riddles. My name is Black Water. Although my reputation in the underground world is not good, I'm still a little famous. Today I'm just here to meet you. I have a business to talk about. If you're interested, I'll wait for you in the Tea Pavilion of the Wangfu Hotel at three o 'clock tomorrow afternoon. "
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at Black Water. He seemed to have heard of this name.
"What business?"
Black Water knew that since the other party had spoken, it meant that they were interested.
And Black Water could also judge that they must be from the Blood Wolf Group since they didn't deny it. Since they came out to auction the golden crown, it meant that they needed money.
This series of signs gave Black Water great hope and expectation.
Now they were interested in talking to him. This matter was not far from the truth. As long as the money was in place, everything was negotiable.
"I'm afraid you're not interested in the business. What you're interested in is … benefits." Black Water smiled, "Maybe it can give you more benefits than the golden crown in the car."
When Black Water finished speaking, the other party's face changed.
"I don't know what you're thinking." Black Water finally said, "Tomorrow afternoon at the Tea Pavilion of the Wangfu Hotel at three o 'clock. I'll be waiting!"
After saying this, Black Water quickly left the scene.
The three people looked at each other. First, they were curious about what the other party had done. Second, they were looking forward to such huge benefits.
More benefits than the golden crown?
They had already bid 500 million for a golden crown. If there were more benefits than the golden crown, how much would that be?
If they could get so much money, why would they sell the golden crown? It was not suitable at all.
"Go, get in the car." The middle-aged man ordered, "We'll talk about it when we get back. Be careful on the road. That man is not simple. We must not underestimate him."
"Yes, I understand!"
After the three people got in the car, they quickly left the back door of the private club with the golden crown. They were disappointed that they didn't sell it, but today's experience made them feel better.
