Chapter 1

New York, USA.

an auction house.

There is an auction going on here.

There are only three pieces in today's auction, and all three are very precious.

A clay pot, a diamond, and a painting.

Among them, the ancient Chinese painting has attracted much attention, and many collectors come here for this ancient painting.

When Huang Zhongshi walked into the auction hall, he saw quite a few familiar faces.

Huang Zhongshi was born in a scholarly family.

Since his grandfather's generation, he has been engaged in the collection and research of ancient paintings.

Huang Zhongshi has been nurtured since he was a child, and he also inherited the mantle of his grandfather and father when he grew up.

It also has a good reputation in the field of antique collection at home and abroad.

He has a good reputation.

Just like his name, it gives people a sense of loyalty and reliability, and he is bold and affordable, and many people like to do business with him.

He came to participate in this auction today because of this painting.

"Ah, Mr. Huang, I didn't expect you to come too."

"Mr Huang, long time no see."

"Hello, Mr. Huang."

"Nice to meet you here, Mr. Huang."

Along the way, people kept saying hello to him.

You can see his character and popularity.

Huang Zhongshi glanced at the few people in front of him on the left. Those people also had Asian faces, but they were obviously unfamiliar, and they were not from the New York circle.

He calmly asked the assistant next to him who those people were, looking a little unfamiliar.

He was followed by two people.

One is a middle-aged man in his forties, and the other is a young man in his twenties.

Those who are familiar with Huang Zhongshi know and know this young man as his assistant.As for the other middle-aged man, he was a bit unfamiliar, and this was the first time he had seen him. I don't know if it was Huang Zhongshi's friend or he also came to participate in the auction.

The middle-aged man whispered, "Maybe it's from rb."

"Oh, they also want to meddle?"

The assistant accompanied Huang Zhongshi to their seats, Huang Zhongshi sat down with the middle-aged man, and the young assistant left.

After a while, he came back again, sat down next to Huang Zhongshi and said quietly: "I inquired that those people are indeed rb people? They seem to belong to a certain consortium. Their target today is also this ancient painting. I heard that they I am also determined to win ancient paintings."

Huang Zhongshi frowned imperceptibly.

Turning to the middle-aged man, he said, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

The middle-aged man called Mr. Chen said: "As far as I know, I didn't see them on the list of bidders before. It seems that we have met our opponents."

Although Huang Zhongshi was very unhappy with the sudden appearance of these rb people, he didn't say anything else.

The auction house opens its doors to do business, as long as you pay enough deposit, anyone can come, as long as you have money.

A few rb people in the area, he still doesn't pay attention to them.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw persistence and calmness in each other's eyes.

Today, he and Mr. Chen are determined to win this ancient painting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon.

Welcome to our auction house to participate in today's auction.

Please take your seats, our auction will start soon. "

Hearing the host's words, those who gathered to chat and reminisce returned to their seats and sat down.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

The host said: "The following is our first auction item for today."

There are three items in today's auction.

In addition to the ancient painting diamond, there is another piece of pottery.

The first auction item is this clay pot.

It is said to belong to the Mayan civilization.Very rare and very precious.

Huang Zhongshi was not very interested in this piece of pottery.

He was just secretly observing the people around him.

as far as he knows.

One of the people who can pose a threat to him today is James, a British collector.

Another one is Li Ganxin, a collector from South Korea.

Now there are a few more rb people.

They all stared at this ancient painting.

Huang Zhongshi secretly made up his mind not to let the ancient paintings fall into their hands, especially the Koreans and Japanese.

Well-known reasons.

He is not too fond of people from either country.

Especially rb people.

Huang Zhongshi fell into deep thought.

Mr. Chen and his assistant next to him were very concerned about the situation on the spot, staring at the bidder without blinking.

Most people are not very interested in clay pots. Finally, after several rounds of competition, the pots were photographed by a local collector in New York, USA.

The host said: "Gentlemen and ladies, the next exciting moment is here. Now please present our second auction item today—that is the diamond on Queen Sofia's crown."

It is said that this diamond used to be the largest one on the crown of a European queen. It became a trophy of the Mongols after they invaded Europe. Later, I don’t know how many times it changed hands. I don’t know its whereabouts. Now it is put up for auction. .

Host: "I won't say much about this diamond. This diamond is called the Lucky Star, and whoever owns it will be lucky."

Mr. Chen sneered: "If you have it, you can have luck? Coax ghosts."

Huang Zhongshi said: "Hey, Mr. Chen, don't be so direct."

Mr. Chen: "Hey, Mr. Huang, don't think I'm rude, what I'm saying is the truth. If you're lucky, it should still be on the crown, or it should still be in someone's safe... Otherwise, it won't be taken It's out for auction."

Huang Zhongshi just wanted to reply, but was interrupted by the host's voice.

The host was shouting: "Now the starting price is 100 million, and the bidding starts now."

Before the words fell, someone raised a placard to bid: "I will offer 150 million."

"I pay 2 million."

"250."

"260."

"300."

As the number plates on the scene continued to be raised, the bidding sounded one after another.

Suddenly a voice said: "500 million."

"This Mr. No. 24 bid 500 million."

The host's voice became visibly excited.

The previous ones were all drizzle, but now is the highlight, the beginning.

"600"

No. 30 held up the sign and shouted.

Number 24: "650 million"

Sure enough, someone started raising signs again.

"700."

"750."

Prices are tight.

Except for the sudden increase from 24 million to 300 million on the 500th, the people behind are all 500,000500,000 to [-].

Everyone is very cautious.

"800."

Korean Li Ganxin began to raise his placards.

The rb people seemed to be here to watch the fun, but didn't participate.

This made Huang Zhongshi secretly worried.

The rb people are obviously not interested in this, so they are really here for the ancient paintings.

It seems that today we have to cheer up and deal with it.

He bowed his head and said something to the assistant.

The assistant nodded.

Pick up your phone and start texting.

He will not fight an uncertain battle.

Mr. Chen next to him watched the bidding scene in the field with great interest.

It was the first time he saw such a scene.

In the final bidding, only the Korean and the British collector James were left to bid. Finally, the Korean gave up the bid and James got the diamond.

And Huang Zhongshi obviously did not see the disappointment of the Koreans.

And the rb people are also calm.

Moderator: "Gentlemen and ladies, this is our last collection for this auction.

This is an ancient painting from the far east.

Its charm and value cannot be overestimated.

Its artistic value and its collection value are unprecedented.

This painting was once collected by an unknown collector until now, and we are fortunate to have a glimpse of its beauty today. "

A photo of the ancient painting was displayed on the big screen.
