don't call me singer

Chapter 981
On the evening of June 6, the third stop of Gu Xiaobai's "Riding a Whale in the Blue Sea" sea tour officially started at the "Magic City" station in the East China Sea.

Gu Xiaobai finally officially returned to China to perform. On the same day, on the sea near Shanghai, banners welcoming the return of the Dragon Palace on the Sea spread for tens of kilometers along the coastline.

At the same time, Sotheby's Auction House in Singapore, an auction that attracted worldwide attention, was being held.

"The auction of "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" starts now. The starting price is 1 million U.S. dollars, and each time the price is increased by no less than 1000 million U.S. dollars. Now... the gentleman is 5000 million U.S. dollars, and... the lady is 7000 million U.S. dollars. , this man is 1000 million US dollars, 5000 million US dollars, 5000 million US dollars. Okay, this gentleman raised his card, 8000 million US dollars, [-] million US dollars! Ladies and gentlemen, it is already [-] million US dollars , Is there anyone... That gentleman is [-] million..."

Elder Zou sat on the side of the auction hall in a daze.

Just the fifth price increase, the price of "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" has already exceeded all of Zou Lao's budget.

For this money, they have prepared for so long and spent so much effort.

Even in order to raise money, Mr. Zou even gave up his old face.

He even gave up his reputation for the rest of his life.

But when we actually arrived at the auction site, it didn't take more than 20 seconds before and after, and everything before it became useless.

At that moment, Elder Zou felt an unspeakable sense of alienation, feeling that the whole world was unreal.

He sat blankly in the corner, watching the signs being raised one after another, listening to the auctioneer spit out various numbers like bullets, but he couldn't hear what the auctioneer was saying.

He just felt buzzing in his head, as if the whole world was collapsing.

After a long time, Elder Zou closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

At this moment, he felt that he was a sinner of the country, a sinner of the nation.

The final auction price of "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" was as high as 6.7 million US dollars, or 47 billion yuan!

This astonishing number surprised everyone.

In the final stage, several top buyers competed fiercely, with an upward increase of 1000 million and 1000 million, and an upward increase of 2 million US dollars.

In the end, an unknown buyer bought "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi".

Zou Lao didn't know how he got out of the auction house.

He sat on the steps in front of the auction house, covered his face, and cried like a child.

Cloudy tears leaked from between his fingers and fell on the steps drop by drop.

Starting today, "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" will be someone else's collection.

Starting today, the first half and the second half of "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" can no longer be combined into one.

Starting today, they may no longer be able to see the full picture of "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi".

Many reporters had already guarded outside the gate of the auction house. They received the news immediately, and were shocked when they heard that the final transaction price was as high as 6.7 million US dollars.

Then, many cameras were aimed at the old man sitting on the steps crying bitterly.

This crying old man became the headline of almost all domestic news that day.

No one scolded him.

Everyone feels sorry for him.

Already 70 years old, still need to bear this responsibility.

Twice in my life I have been humiliated like this.

Twice sat in the auction house, but couldn't get back the treasure of his own country.

Disappointment after disappointment.

At that moment, many people realized clearly.

My own country is still not strong enough, rich enough, or rich enough.

Compared with those established countries, compared with those countries that rely on abundant natural resources, our money must be used wisely, and there is no way to even recover our national treasures.

On this day, people all over the Internet were discussing the missed opportunity of "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi", and discussing that the national treasure was bought by foreigners, and some people ran to blame some rich people, why they didn't spend money to buy the national treasure back and donate it to the country.

But 6.7 million U.S. dollars, 47 billion yuan, is not a small amount of money even for any rich man.

This amount of money may be the annual revenue of many well-known large enterprises, and the net profit of many labor-intensive large enterprises for ten years.

The entire cash reserves of almost all large corporations.

In this world, no one can take out this money so easily.

Who should do that?

That night, the atmosphere at the Magic City Station of the "Blue Sea Riding Whale" sea tour also seemed a little gloomy.

Everyone knows the relationship between Gu Xiaobai and Zou Lao, and how much effort he has put in for "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi".

In the stands, when everyone saw Gu Xiaobai appearing on the stage, seeing his expression, they felt very distressed.

When Gu Xiaobai sang "Take You Home", I don't know how many people's hearts were broken.

Why, even though you have tried so hard, you still fail.

I feel so sorry for Mr. Zou, and I feel so sorry for Xiaobai.

On this day, when Gu Xiaobai's "Take You Home" sounded, almost everyone in the audience sang in chorus.

When the performance that night was over and everyone left the stage, Gu Xiaobai's words "Who will take them home" still echoed in their minds.

Who can bring "The Book of Changes of the King of Qi" home?

Actually... the audience at the scene were thinking too much.

At that time, what Gu Xiaobai thought was...

$6.7 million!Get rich, get rich!

I can start doing new research!
Sea Dragon Palace can no longer satisfy Gu Xiaobai!
But when the performance was over and Gu Xiaobai saw the picture of Zou Lao sitting on the steps crying bitterly, his soaring mood suddenly cooled down.

He looked at Elder Zou crying bitterly while covering his face, and felt his heart throbbing as if being grabbed by something.

what can we do about it?

Gu Xiaobai has been thinking about this question.

This money will be an opportunity for Gu Xiaobai to take off academically. With this money, he can get involved in completely different new fields.

But for this money, let the people close to you pay so much, is it worth it?
Backstage, Gu Xiaobai grabbed Bai Tian and Zhongtu who were about to go back to the "unscientific backstage channel".

"I'll give you a task." Gu Xiaobai said seriously.

"Sir, please order!" Bai Tian hurriedly swallowed the ice cream in his mouth and nodded.

"The "Book of Changes of the King of Qi"..." Gu Xiaobai said.

"That's not my fault!" Zhongtu said hastily.

"It's all that stupid rabbit's idea! Young master, go and kill him, don't kill me, I'm not married yet!"

These two guys sold each other quickly, without asking how much it cost per catty.

Gu Xiaobai: "..."

At this moment, Gu Xiaobai almost drew out his knife and chopped the two of them to death!
But no, hold back!
"No, I want you two to... get me another set!"

"Also, you must put it on this ship for me..."

"Put it in this boat?" Zhongtu wondered, what does it mean?What does this ship have to do with me?
"Remember, Zhongtu!" Gu Xiaobai said seriously.

"Oh... yes, young master!" Zhongtu said, "I will never forget!"

Although he said he would never forget, Zhongtu was still puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, and Bai Tian looked at me and I looked at you, and disappeared into the passage.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Gu Xiaobai sighed helplessly.

The world is going to be destroyed, and the ones who can save the world are these two silly kids...

This is the way of the world.
