Chapter 811 Not following the script
After Sun Tianlei finished his explanation, he showed everyone the autographed photo of Master Yunlu.
That unique artistic signature cannot be easily imitated.
As a result, everyone became more convinced of Sun Tianlei's words.
"It turns out that this is Master Yunlu's way of giving back to our loyal fans. No wonder the starting price is so low."
"Master Yunlu is willing to share such a precious anti-aging pill. Master Yunlu is yyds (eternal god)."
"Master Yunlu, my lifelong idol..."
There were many fans of Master Yunlu’s calligraphy and painting present at the auction. They came to the auction because of Master Yunlu’s reputation, and they were deeply moved to hear that their idol was so generous.
Of course, there are also many rational people.
Those wealthy businessmen are not fools and they won’t be as obsessed as those brainless fans.
Let alone one hundred thousand, even ten thousand or one thousand is just the starting price. When the real bidding starts, you will know that no matter how low the starting price is, it has nothing to do with you losers.
Businessmen are worthy of being businessmen. They will consider everything from the perspective of profit.
They absolutely did not believe that Master Yunlu could really be so kind.
If those anti-aging pills were really that effective, why didn't Master Yunlu give them to his relatives and friends, but gave them to you fans instead?
Could it be that you fans mean more to him than his family members?
Do not be silly!
The wealthy businessmen saw through the truth at a glance, but they all kept it to themselves and were very cunning.
Soon, the auction officially began. Just as those wealthy businessmen had expected, the auction price soared rapidly like a rocket and instantly broke through the one million mark.
Everyone was stunned.
Well, it turns out to be a game for rich people and has nothing to do with us!
Those who participated in the auction were all people with good background. They didn't even consider the few anti-aging pills. They were all going for the autographed photos.
It is extremely exaggerated to bid a million for an autographed photo, and a photo that only shows the back.
You have to know that the price of autographed photos of those first-line stars is over ten thousand, which is already very outrageous, and one million is unthinkable.
Master Yunlu is naturally not comparable to those stars.
One reason is that Master Yunlu is extremely mysterious, and there are very few autographed photos of him circulating. Scarcity makes things valuable, so it is completely understandable that the price is driven up high.
The second reason is that Master Yunlu’s artistic signature integrates his usual painting style. Although it is just a signature, this signature also reveals a kind of artistic conception - arrogance.
Yes, aloof.
Master Yunlu must be an aloof and proud person, so even his signature is so extraordinary.
In other words, these autographed photos can be completely regarded as alternative works of Master Yunlu, and all of his works start at one million.
It is not difficult to understand why a signed photo can be sold at such an astonishing price.
Another extremely important reason is that when Sun Tianlei was showing the autographed photos, he deliberately mentioned that these five autographed photos were out of print, and he also said that this was the intention of Master Yunlu himself.
No one doubted it.
Ever since Master Yunlu displayed his masterpiece "The Rose of Prosperity" at the Dongzheng Auction House, everyone has firmly believed that the Sun family must have a connection with Master Yunlu.
Sun Tianlei said this is out of print, so it is very likely to be true.
Therefore, whether you buy these five autographed photos for collection or for hype, it is worthwhile.
Rich businessmen made their moves one after another, and soon all five autographed photos were auctioned off at high prices exceeding one million... Hey, I feel like something is wrong, isn't what's being auctioned the Rejuvenating Pill?
Not important anymore!
On the second floor of the auction house, in a VIP room with a wide view that almost covered the entire first floor of the venue, Lu Yun looked at the scene below through the one-way glass with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Yu, isn't your reaction a little too bland?" Lu Yun turned his head to look at the hunchbacked old man next to him and asked intriguingly.
The hunchbacked old man was looking down with an indifferent expression, without any change of emotion throughout the whole process. When he heard Lu Yun talking, he sneered and said, "Do you think I should be excited?"
Lu Yun smiled and said nothing.
Of course, I shouldn’t be excited, but angry!
It is obvious that what is being auctioned is the Rejuvenation Pill, and it is obvious that the Rejuvenation Pill is the real treasure. To ordinary people, its value is definitely much more precious than those autographed photos.
But the result?
Put the cart before the horse.
The Rejuvenating Pill became a free gift instead.
As a proud and arrogant alchemist, seeing such a scene, he would probably feel unhappy and angrily scold these vulgar people for being blind and stupid.
But the hunchbacked old man did not react throughout the whole process.
What does it mean?
This shows that he didn't take this auction seriously at all.
This made Lu Yun more convinced that this hunchbacked old man had other purposes.
"King Tianchen, although I look down on you, I do owe you a favor for this auction. I am not an unreasonable person. I will give you a chance to make a request to me as a way of repaying your favor."
Although the hunchbacked old man put on an arrogant attitude, his words made Lu Yun's heart move slightly.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yun smiled and replied, "I don't have any request."
"No request?"
The hunchbacked old man frowned suddenly, and said with some displeasure: "I am a high-level alchemist. I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it. Do you think you look down on me?"
"It's not that I look down on you. I really don't have any demands, and you don't owe me any favors. I said, I do all this just to make friends with you." Lu Yun said seriously.
This time it was the hunchbacked old man's turn to remain silent.
He stared at Lu Yun for a while, his mind moved slightly.
Damn it, why doesn’t King Tianye follow the script?
