After divorcing his celebrity wife, he became the richest man in the world

Chapter 268
"Everyone, this banquet is based on cultural banquets from all over the world. The organizer took out all the collections in his home and auctioned them here. Please give us your advice!"

The host was very polite in terms of tone and other things, and because of the auction items, he spoke Chinese on purpose.

But such words, no matter how you listen to them, you feel awkward.

Chen Yu even frowned, looking a little weird.

The host didn't care about this, and continued to introduce the origin of the Buddha's head there.

Everyone present was looking forward to it, waiting for the host to say the price.

Chen Yu exhaled slightly, his eyes fixed on the Buddha head on the shelf.

These things were basically plundered by the Western world from the East in the late Qing Dynasty. I didn't expect that they would be put up for auction so shamelessly now.

However, it can also be seen from the side that the organizer behind it is really out of money. In addition to playing the final value of the Queen Elsa, the main purpose of this banquet is to bring together super families from all over the world.

This will not only broaden the cooperation in business, but also sell all the antique treasures in their hands for cash.

Chen Yu's mood was extremely complicated, he didn't know how to deal with the Buddha head in front of him.

First of all, these things are too precious, and the auction price of each one has reached more than one billion. Even if Chen Yu takes all the current assets, he may not be able to buy these Buddha heads.

Secondly, in an auction of this level, it is impossible for people to pack and take away all the Buddha heads.

The profit from selling individual items one by one is much higher than that of packing them together.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu's heartbeat couldn't help speeding up. Such a good thing can only be watched helplessly!
Just when he was struggling inwardly.Suddenly it was found that there was a crack in the head of one of the Buddhas.

"Everyone, the first one to be auctioned is the head of the White Horse Buddha. It is said that this Buddha head was carved out of Wu Zetian's image. It has a history of more than 1000 years! The starting price is [-] million!"

As soon as the price came out, the scene immediately became ebullient, and the price rose to 13 billion in almost an instant!

Such a priceless treasure is hard not to cause a sensation.

But Chen Yu's gaze was always on the cracked Buddha's head. Although this Buddha's head was not eye-catching and looked like a later imitation, the strange light emanating from the crack had completely attracted Chen Yu's attention.

Most of the Buddha heads in the Tang Dynasty are jade carvings, and there are very few stone carvings, unless it is a group of Buddha statues in grottoes.

Especially the Buddha head modeled on Wu Zetian, the materials used are extremely precious.

It is said that there is a pair of Buddha heads carved from purple jadeite in the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, but they were accidentally lost during the Anshi Rebellion.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang took it back from the Yuan people and enshrined it in the temple.

It is a pity that it was lost again in the late Qing Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu became inexplicably excited.

He stood up abruptly and shouted abruptly.

"Wait a minute, there is something wrong with these Buddha heads!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Yu.

The host was even more embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

Chen Yu pushed the whole banquet to a climax just now, and I don't know how much benefit it brought to this banquet.

In addition, many people at the scene have already become fans of Chen Yu, and now no matter what he says, people will follow suit.

Sure enough, the big bosses who were crazy just now suddenly calmed down and looked at Chen Yu with weird eyes, as if they were expecting something.

"Mr. Chen, these Buddha heads are all from legitimate channels, there is absolutely no way they are fake!"

The host replied decisively.

Chen Yu didn't take it seriously, but walked up to the rostrum on his own.

"Real channels? Didn't they just snatch them from the east? Your ancestors didn't take a good look at them when they snatched them. They took a bunch of fake things and shipped them back. They even put them up for auction as treasures."

The people who participated in the auction couldn't sit still and began to discuss in private.

The host was even more flustered. If the auction could not go ahead, the consequences would be disastrous.

At that time, it's not just the host behind it that will be lost, I'm afraid even she, the host, can't afford to go around.

Before she could react, Chen Yu had already stepped onto the stage, casually picked up a Buddha head, and smashed it down in front of everyone.

Dense cracks appeared on the Buddha's head in an instant, and then the outer jade shell cracked inch by inch, revealing a dark stone Buddha's head.

"Oh my god, isn't this just a broken rock? You actually put this thing up for auction, are you trying to cheat us of money?"

I don't know who yelled, and the scene suddenly exploded, and everyone stood up one after another.

"You don't need to look at the remaining Buddha heads, they must all be of this kind!"

"Fortunately, Mr. Chen stepped forward. I paid out to [-] billion just now. If I really paid for it before, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a place to cry."

"When did the auction on the Queen Elsa become so low-end!"

"Refund!"

……

There were insults and accusations one after another, everyone's eyes were on the auction stage, and some even looked for the sponsor.

But the organizer, who was hiding in the dark, was already depressed.

They really didn't expect things to develop to this point, and these Buddha heads were handed down from the ancestors, how did they become fake here?

But to be honest, when their ancestors snatched these Buddha heads, they didn't look carefully, only thinking that the ones coming from the east must be treasures.

Who knew that these Buddha heads turned out to be stone embryos wrapped with a layer of jade.

Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, the organizer immediately discussed how to solve the current situation.

Just when they were about to make a move, Chen Yu suddenly took out a painting from the side.

"Everyone, don't worry, I don't think this is the organizer's responsibility. Their ancestors didn't know whether the Buddha head was real or not when they got it back, just like they didn't know if the painting was real or not."

The scene became quiet again, and everyone's eyes were focused on the painting in Chen Yu's hand.

This painting looks unremarkable, even a little rough, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a poor imitation.

No matter how you look at this kind of thing, you don't think it can be called a treasure.

Just when everyone was wondering, Chen Yu suddenly took alcohol and a fine brush from the side, and carefully handled the scroll in his hand.

It didn't take long for the painting to miraculously split in two, and the feeling of inferiority just now was gone.
