Chapter 54: Golden Bridge
Chapter 54: Golden Bridge
"Let me tell you, this spiritual fruit is a legendary treasure. It can prolong life and restore youth!"
"I heard that if you eat it, you can increase your lifespan by at least five years, and at most ten years!"
"Ergou, you must have never heard of it, right?"
Wang Binhai said with a proud look on his face.
He could already imagine that Ergou would be extremely shocked after hearing the news.
But when he looked at Jiang Hua, he was stunned.
"Hey, why are you so calm?"
Wang Binhai asked in confusion: "Don't you think this spiritual fruit is very powerful?"
"Oh." Jiang Hua said calmly, "Are there any other finale items?
“Also, there are other finale items?” Wang Binhai was shocked and frantic.
Why are you so calm?
Wouldn't anyone be excited when hearing about the spiritual fruit? Or maybe totally unbelieving?
Is this a magical fruit that can prolong life?
Even he heard it from his father.
This spiritual fruit is indeed real.
Several decades ago, the Crescent Hotel also held an auction. The finale item of that auction was the legendary spiritual fruit.
In the end, this spiritual fruit was bought by a wealthy businessman for tens of millions of dollars.
That was tens of millions of dollars decades ago!
The purchasing power is more than the current billion!
In the past, people couldn’t even get enough food to eat, and more than 10 million oceans was simply a sky-high price!
If it were today, it would be even more exaggerated than 10 billion!
In other words, if we only consider purchasing power, that spiritual fruit is worth at least tens of billions!
After the rich businessman bought it, he became ten years younger the next day.
There are much fewer wrinkles on the face.
He lived to be over 120 years old without any illness or death.
All this is thanks to that spiritual fruit!
A magical fruit with such miraculous effects is now reappearing in the world, and who knows what kind of bloody storm it will cause.
But Jiang Hua didn't seem to care at all?
He asked casually if there was a second finale item.
how did you do that?
Wang Binhai was shocked.
"I guess Ergou has never seen much of the world and doesn't know the importance of spiritual fruit, so he reacted this way."
Wang Binhai comforted himself in this way.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Jiang Hua asked suspiciously, "Da Hai, what's wrong with you? Is the only spiritual fruit the finale of the New Moon Hotel this time?"
If that were the case, Jiang Hua would want to leave.
It's really meaningless.
Just a spiritual fruit.
He has plenty of storage space.
Instead of spending this much time, he might as well go home and practice!
Wang Binhai looked at Jiang Hua as if he was a fool.
"Of course the finale of the New Moon Hotel cannot be just the spiritual fruit. I heard that there are three finales in this auction, but apart from the spiritual fruit, I don't know what else there is."
Jiang Hua's face darkened, and he had the urge to beat him up.
Still making that expression?
Jiang Hua suppressed his anger and asked, "What else do you know?"
"No more."
Wang Binhai picked up a grape from the table, put it in his mouth, and asked in surprise: "What else do you want to know?"
“That’s what my dad told me.”
"Didn't your father tell you?"
"roll!"
Wang Binhai looked puzzled, "Ergou, why do you look like you're having your period?"
"You'd better get back to the Jinding Building box right now." Jiang Hua's face turned dark.
In fact, Jiang Bainian wanted to say this too.
After all, spiritual fruits are indeed precious.
But later, Jiang Hua took out a dozen spiritual fruits.
He felt there was no need to say anything...
The entire Crescent Hotel has an antique feel to its decoration, and is surrounded by precious red nanmu wood, exuding a faint fragrance.
In the middle box, there is a sky lantern.
One by one, the guests walked into the box.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the auction finally began!
A beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam and with an extraordinary temperament walked up to the middle booth.
She looked around and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The teardrop mole next to her eye makes her look even more stunning.
She is the owner of Crescent Hotel!
Yin Nanfeng!
"Dear guests, you have come from afar. Nanfeng is here to show his respect!"
Yin Nanfeng smiled and slowly bowed and said.
"Today's auction will be hosted by Nanfeng!"
“I hope everyone can get what they want!”
"Okay, I guess everyone can't wait any longer, so Nan Feng will make the announcement!"
"The 36th auction of the Crescent Hotel is now officially starting!"
There was some commotion at the scene.
Everyone has obviously been looking forward to it for a long time.
A woman in cheongsam walked up to the booth, holding a treasure covered with a red cloth.
"Everyone, please take a look at our first lot!"
The red cloth was lifted, revealing the items inside.
Everyone looked at it carefully and found that it was a painting, and it was a landscape painting.
"Please look, everyone. This painting is called 'Golden Bridge' and is the work of Wu Daozi, a famous painter from the Tang Dynasty. After being authenticated by our Crescent Hotel, it is confirmed to be an authentic work!"
"The reserve price is 20!"
"Each increase in price must not be less than 10,000!"
"Everyone can rest assured in the auction. If there are any mistakes, we will compensate you tenfold!"
Ten times the compensation for a fake product, this is the rule of the Xinyue Hotel!
Once it is discovered that the items they auctioned are fake, they will have to pay ten times the auction price as compensation!
If the auction amount is one billion!
Then the Crescent Hotel will have to pay 10 billion! Unfortunately, this provision has never been implemented.
"Golden Bridge?"
After listening to it, everyone lost interest.
If it is Wu Daozi's representative work, "The Heavenly King Delivering a Child", then people will still be interested.
"Golden Bridge" is a little worse.
But it also has some collection value.
There are many people bidding, so it is definitely not a loss to get 200,000.
"Twenty-one thousand!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Four hundred thousand!"
"Four hundred and ten thousand!"
By now, there are fewer bidding voices.
Because the value of this "Golden Bridge Picture" is only between 400,000 and 500,000 at most.
Those who can come to the auction at the Crescent Hotel are basically well-known figures, and their judgment on the value of antiques is very accurate.
In the Mingguxuan box.
Jiang Hua looked at the bidding outside, stood up with some curiosity, and looked intently at Wu Daozi's "Golden Bridge" in the center of the booth.
The fat man's eyes turned red after hearing these prices.
"Three hundred thousand?!"
"Now it's four hundred thousand!?"
"Hmph, a bunch of damn capitalists. As an outstanding young man of the new era, I disdain to associate with you..."
The fat man murmured with a sour feeling in his heart.
Wang Binhai sat calmly in a chair, eating snacks and saying with a smile,
"In the first half of the auction at the Crescent Hotel, all the items being auctioned were insignificant antiques. Although they had some value, those who were able to sit in the private rooms basically would not bid for them."
"Because everyone has to save money to compete for the finale of the New Sun Hotel."
"Those final items are the real targets of the big guys!"
Jiang Hua's eyes widened!
A hint of gold appeared in his eyes!
Golden Eyes!
He used his golden eyes to take a look at the "Golden Bridge Picture".
"Golden Bridge: A work by Wu Daozi from the Tang Dynasty. In the past, Wu Daozi traveled around the mountains and rivers and found a treasure land. There was a natural treasure in it, but it was a pity that it was not yet mature."
“So Wu Daozi hid the treasure in the Golden Bridge, waiting for the right person to find it!”
Treasures from heaven and earth? !
There is actually a clue to a treasure hidden in this "Golden Bridge Map"? Jiang Hua's heart was beating non-stop. He didn't expect that the first item in the auction actually contained such a secret!
buy!
He must buy it!
Although it is possible that the treasure trove has been discovered by someone else, who knows?
If he is not discovered, he will obtain a rare treasure.
And the price he had to pay was only a few hundred thousand!
Is this money?
Jiang Hua's heart was pounding.
At this time, the bidding price has reached 43!
"43, is there anyone else bidding?"
"43 million, first time!"
"43 million, the second time!"
"43…"
"45 million!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
Everyone looked at the top floor box in surprise~
Generally speaking, the items in the first half of the auction at the Crescent Hotel rarely have private rooms to participate in the bidding.
And he made the bid just as the hammer was about to fall.
"Er Gou, are you crazy?"
Wang Binhai looked surprised, "You spent 45 to buy this thing?"
"wrong."
"You must think that this "Golden Bridge Picture" is not simple!"
"You want to get a bargain!"
Wang Binhai stroked his chin and thought.
Little did he know that Jiang Hua was in a daze at this moment.
Are you Sherlock Holmes?
Can you guess this too?
"But this is impossible?"
"This is an item that has been tested by the Crescent Hotel. With their practices, there is absolutely no way they would have missed any part."
"Moreover, the Crescent Hotel's ability to identify antiques is top-notch in the Golden World."
"Since the Crescent Hotel says this is just an ordinary painting of Wu Daozi's 'Golden Bridge', it must be correct."
Wang Binhai looked at Jiang Hua before he could speak.
A new round of price increases has begun.
……
"51! Is there a higher price?"
"51 million, first time!"
"51 million, the third time!"
"make a deal!"
"Congratulations to this customer for winning Wu Daozi's "Golden Bridge". Please contact our staff after the auction and submit the corresponding amount to complete this transaction!"
A charming smile appeared on Yin Nanfeng's lips.
The price of "Golden Bridge" was somewhat beyond her expectations. Before the auction started, they estimated that the maximum price for this item would be 40.
This is already the limit.
I didn't expect the bid has now reached 51.
