Nine Eyes Heavenly Bead - C39
After staying at the Bridge of Immortality for a while, they didn’t have any further gains, so the three of them left to find a place to eat and drink.
Chen Xi described the beautiful scene in the narrow alley to Silang. Silang was excited when he heard this, and asked Yu Jingyan to bring them to the wide and narrow alley, but Yu Jingyan shook his head: “Forget it, the auction starts tomorrow, and we can save your energy. The beautiful girls in the wide and narrow alley are like the clouds, I’m afraid that Lao Chen will be trapped in a warm place, delaying tomorrow’s proper business, Silang, even if you were surrounded by beauties, it would be a waste of heaven’s treasures.”
“No, Brother Yu, it’s like you don’t want to waste it.” Silang protested.
“That’s right, Lao Yu, we finally made it here, let’s go and play for a bit, don’t worry, even if I fight with someone for 8 hours tonight, I won’t hold up anything tomorrow.” Chen Xi promised sincerely.
“Then, alright. Actually, I also want to raise my eyes.” Yu Jingyan said.
The three of them went into the wide alley. Before they even finished eating a single bite, Chen Xi had already blended in with the two beautiful young women, and while carrying Yu Jingyan’s camera, he took pictures of the two of them. Not long later, he came over and said to Yu Jingyan: “You guys are so fun, I’ll bring them to the Nine-eyed Bridge to drink two cups, you don’t have to wait for me tonight …”
Finished speaking, Chen Xi led the two girls from the wide alley on his left and right, leaving Yu Jingyan and Silang looking at each other in dismay.
“Brother Yu, that camera is yours, why don’t you go take a picture?” Silang asked.
Yu Jingyan: “I, I’m already this old, I don’t feel good about it.”
“Why do I feel like the Brother Chen is about the same age as you?” Silang said.
“I’m in good health, so I can’t compare.” Yu Jingyan muttered.
Yu Jingyan and Silang were no longer in the mood to shop. After the two of them returned to the hotel, each of them carried a bottle of white wine and drank to vent their dissatisfaction.
It was night, and Chen Xi still did not return home. After drinking too much, Yu Jingyan and Silang immediately fell asleep.
The next morning, the two people who were drunk woke up one after another. Before Yu Jingyan could call Chen Xi, Chen Xi had already returned with breakfast in hand.
“Brother Chen, did you have fun last night?” Silang asked with his eyes wide open.
Chen Xi blinked his eyes, and said in a low voice: “That’s more than happy. Sigh, I’m not boasting, don’t look at how young your Brother Chen is, your body is truly tough. Let me tell you, those two girls are simply too amazing …”
Silang’s face was filled with envy. He picked up the steamed bun and started to eat it ruthlessly.
After cleaning up, the three of them arrived at the Bridge of Immortality Auction Hall. The host was in the middle of speaking, and the auction had yet to begin.
Yu Jingyan took the invitation he got in advance, and brought Silang and Chen Xi into the hall. After greeting the few people they were acquainted with, he found an unremarkable corner to sit, and before the auction started, he observed for a while, and as expected, there were many powerful buyers in the hall, and the Immeasurable Buddha was placed second to last place.
Yu Jingyan was not the least bit interested in the first ten or so auctions, but the actual situation was just as he had expected.
“The market is still not good. If this was in the past, then that piece of furniture could have been sold for seven digits (between one and 3 million). But now, no one is bidding for only six hundred thousand yuan.” Looking at the purple sandalwood table that was sold at a low price, Yu Jingyan sighed.
“Fortunately, I have been wholeheartedly invested into the New Heavenly Bead all these years. If I had played any other antiques, I would definitely have died.” Yu Jingyan rejoiced secretly.
Yu Jingyan knew that this was a normal market price, at the same time, he was very clear that this was a heated up for the following finale of the auction.
After three consecutive rounds of bidding, the atmosphere on the auction field was set ablaze. All the big shots kept raising their hands and raising their prices, gradually pushing the auction to its climax.
Finally, it was the time of the Aeon Span.
“The next item will be the Immeasurable Sentinel statue made during the Great Ming and Yongle years. The starting price is one million.” The host said.
The auctioneer raised the hammer in his hand and shouted, “One million going once …”
“2 million!” Someone immediately raised the bid to two million. Yu Jingyan took a glance and saw that the person who raised the sign was the boss he had seen before.
“Three million!” Someone else raised the price.
“Three million going once. Currently, the bidding price of this Great Bright Golden Everlasting Buddha statue is three million. Are there any higher bidders?” The auctioneer asked.
“Five million!” Someone increased the bid by two million in one go. Yu Jingyan looked over and saw a young man brimming with confidence raising his bid high up.
After he increased the bid, the bosses who were preparing to increase the bid by a hundred and twenty thousand each lowered their heads, increasing it by two million in one go. This was a bid that they were determined to win.
“Five million going once. As of now, this sovereign …”
“6 million!” Someone else added.
“8 million!” The young man raised the bid by another two million.
Yu Jingyan squinted his eyes and looked over carefully. At the same time, he heard the whispers of the people beside him: “Who is this?
“Boss Yang from Beijing, he previously said during the preliminaries that he will take care of this Buddha statue.”
“So this guy is the Boss Yang, he doesn’t look like someone who has too much money.” Yu Jingyan thought.
“Eight million going once. At this time of the Ming Dynasty …”
Before the auctioneer could finish his sentence, someone interrupted him: “Twelve million!”
was also shocked. Boss Yang increasing two million in one go had already greatly expanded his horizons, but now there was actually someone adding four million in one go …
Everyone’s attention was attracted to the old man in the other corner. After seeing his appearance, the previously chattering bosses all fell silent and sat down obediently.
Yu Jingyan, Silang and Chen Xi were still standing. When they saw the old man in the corner, they fought to sit down.
“Damn, it’s actually Feng Sanyi!” Yu Jingyan said in a low voice.
The person in the corner who increased the bid by four million in one breath was precisely Master Feng, Elder Feng, Feng Sanyi!
Yu Jingyan frowned, he knew of Feng Sanyi’s strength in the Cheng Yun Realm, and started to worry about him. However, he did not see any trace of Zhao Huaiyuan in the auction house.
“Offending the Boss Yang in Beijing is one thing, after all he came all the way here, he might not be able to do anything to you, Zhao Huaiyuan, but if you offend Feng Sanyi, ai, Old Zhao, you better pray for yourself.” Yu Jingyan thought.
The young Boss Yang looked at Feng Sanyi who was in the corner for a few seconds, before the auctioneer shouted: “Boss, do you want to add another trick? “At present, the price for the bronze, gilded, and golden Buddha statue in the Ming Dynasty, Yongle, is one thousand and two hundred thousand …”
“One thousand three.” Boss Yang said coldly.
“One thousand four hundred.” Feng Sanyi did not hesitate at all.
“Fifteen hundred.” Boss Yang’s expression became ugly. Yu Jingyan knew in his heart that he could not hold on much longer.
The astute Feng Sanyi did not recklessly raise the bid again, and said: “Fifteen hundred and fifty.”
He only raised the price by five hundred thousand, but Yu Jingyan and the others knew that Feng Sanyi had already treated the Buddha statues as his trump card.
Boss Yang’s expression turned uglier and uglier as he gnashed his teeth, “Sixteen million!”
Feng Sanyi remained calm and continued to raise the bid, “1650.”
The Boss Yang finally could not hold on any longer. He threw the bidding board roughly and left with the two men beside him.
“Currently, this Lord of the Ming Dynasty …”
After the Boss Yang left, no one dared to compete with Feng Sanyi anymore. In the end, this Buddha statue that had only been created a few months ago was bought by Feng Sanyi for 16.5 million.
The bosses present all thanked Feng Sanyi one by one, congratulating him for taking the Bright Blessing Buddha Statue. Yu Jingyan and the other two took this opportunity to slip away, intending to talk to Zhao Huaiyuan again.
Zhao Huaiyuan still did not pick up the phone with Yu Jingyan. Helpless, Yu Jingyan and the other two once again called a taxi to the row of houses in the suburbs.
“Where’s Zhao Huaiyuan?” Yu Jingyan asked.
“What are you guys looking for Brother Zhao for?” one of them asked.
“Hurry and call Zhao Huaiyuan out, I have nothing to say to you.” Yu Jingyan said firmly.
“You may leave.” Zhao Huaiyuan’s voice came from behind the crowd.
The strong guys returned to the small hut. Zhao Huaiyuan went to Yu Jingyan and the other two’s side with a cigarette in his mouth, and spoke first: “Yu Jingyan, did you come here because of the Buddha statue?”
Yu Jingyan nodded his head: “That’s right, you should know how much the Buddha statue paid for it and who took it?”
Zhao Huaiyuan said. “Mn, got it, Feng Sanyi is going to take it, it’s worth sixteen million. What, you want me to split some of the money with you?”
Yu Jingyan felt that he had been humiliated, and raised his voice: “Old Zhao, who the hell do you think I am? The reason why I came to find you, is to remind you that Feng Sanyi is definitely not a good person. Although you did not earn a lot of money just by selling the Buddha statue to him, but whether or not you have the ability to spend that money is still up to you. If Feng Sanyi finds out that the Buddha statue is a fake, then there will be a good outcome for you! ”
Zhao Huaiyuan disapproved: “Feng Sanyi is just a nouveau riche, he doesn’t know anything about antiques. If you didn’t tell me, and the people from the auction house didn’t say, who would tell him that the Buddha statue was fake? You don’t have to worry about it. Like I said, you can drink with me, but talk to me about the Buddha statue.
“Old Zhao, you really don’t know what’s good for you, I will just say this. Even if Feng Sanyi does not know about antiques, he must have some experts by his side. I wanted to pull you up on account of our previous friendship, you don’t want to listen, right? Fine, Silang, Lao Chen, let’s go, the one with surname Zhao, if you don’t listen to me, you will regret it sooner or later! ” Yu Jingyan said, flustered and exasperated.
“Bye!” Zhao Huaiyuan said.
Yu Jingyan and the other two returned back to the hotel, Chen Xi asked: “Feng Sanyi is not someone to be trifled with, given that Zhao Huaiyuan is not his opponent, Lao Yu, in my opinion, we should leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, so as to not lead to disaster.”
If Zhao Huaiyuan really has something bad, it naturally has to do with me. I can’t just leave like this, Lao Chen, I know that you have something on your mind, if you want to leave, you go back and wait for me. Silang, if you want to leave, you can leave with Lao Chen too. ” Yu Jingyan shook his head.
“Are you f * cking talking like a human being? All these years, whenever we met with danger, we would always be in the same boat. Now that you are in trouble, why don’t you let me go?” If I f * cking leave, am I still your brother? ” Chen Xi scolded.
Silang slapped the table and said: “Brother Yu, are you looking down on me? Although there are no Evergreen Saber in hand, but I see that there are quite a few old blades in the Immortal Bridge Ancient Art Market. I will go buy one right now, and if that old man Feng dares to cause you trouble, I will hack him to death with one blade! ”
Since all of you are willing to stay with me, then that’s good. This time, the three of us will advance and retreat together, no matter if it’s Old Man Feng or Zhao Huaiyuan, whoever provokes us, we will fight them to the death! “Huang Ming said. Yu Jingyan said boldly.
Although he was not confident at all, but with Silang and Chen Xi accompanying him, he would not shrink back.
On one hand, it was the unfathomable Feng Sanyi who was staring at him covetously. On the other hand, it was the stubborn Zhao Huaiyuan who refused to cooperate.
