Chapter 8 The Auction Begins
Japanese! Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. Zhang Yu doesn't like this ethnic group with serious awareness of the island country. What he remembers the most is the eight years of anti-Japanese war and the flood of love action films. Even so, Zhang Yu really has to admit that this nation has its own uniqueness in standing on the world. At least the ability to steal other people's skills is in reverse. I'm afraid no one in the world can do it. Even the Korean stick next to him stood aside in this matter.
"Since it is an ancient inheritance, is it so easy for the Japanese to open it?" Zhang Yu and his group said.
Cao Xu nodded and said seriously, "Don't underestimate the power of Japanese powers. They are definitely not simple, although there are no rumors about them in the world. But the old guys in Shinto Temple and the people in Kagura Palace are definitely the top figures in today's supernatural world.
Zhang Yu nodded. A country that can develop so rapidly after World War II is definitely not just relying on the power of the United States!
"When will the auction start?" Zhang Yu asked. Since this must be done, Zhang Yu will not give in. Prepare early and be prepared!
"Eight o'clock in the evening!" Cao Xu said indifferently.
8 p.m.! Zhang Yu secretly remembered that there was still a lot of time before the night, but he could plan it.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yu said to Cao Xu, "Do you have any good plans?"
Cao Xu nodded, "This organization has already had a comprehensive plan. As long as we auction the treasure from the auction through normal channels, everything will be fine.
"Is it so simple?" Zhang Yu was stunned. Cao Xu just talked about the Japanese. Even if European powers do not intervene because they can't use treasures, the Japanese must win and will never give up.
Cao Xu nodded with a smile, "Don't forget that this is Europe. We dare not reveal our identity here. The Japanese dare not. On the contrary, they will be more careful than us. However, few countries in Europe do not know the nature of Japan."
Zhang Yu couldn't help nodding when he heard this. During World War II, Japan had to march to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean. As a result, it was impossible to steal chickens. Although these European countries are ostensibly friendly to Japan, most people know that this nation is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar at all. If the Japanese powers dare to be wild here, the European powers will never mind leaving these people behind!
Cao Xu looked at Zhang Yu and couldn't help smiling and said with some ridicule, "The task of organizing this time is absolutely very easy, so you don't have to worry. There should be no delay in this vacation."
Zhang Yu couldn't help smiling awkwardly, "That's not the reason. I'm worried that if the Japanese and European powers collude, they must take down the treasure. At that time, we will be in trouble!"
Listening to Zhang Yu's words, Cao Xu couldn't help frowning slightly. He didn't think of this question. "I don't know yet. There is no news about this on Baihu's side. I think the powers who come to Europe should not cooperate with these Japanese." Speaking of this, Cao Xu felt that such a reason could not even convince himself, and he couldn't help sighing, "Let's act on the opportunity!" In this world, there is always an alliance formed by interests, that is, there is no pure friendship alliance. Once the Japanese powers offer any conditions that can make these European powers move, even if Cao Xu and the two of them photograph the treasure, they can't leave Europe safely.
"That's the only way!" Zhang Yu also shook his head helplessly. In Europe, the two of them are blackened, and the news is not clear. Even if the European powers are allied with Japan, they can only jump in.
Looking at Cao Xu with a worried face, Zhang Yu couldn't help smiling. "In fact, don't worry too much. This time, the powers of Japan and Europe may not be an alliance. This is just our guess! Things may not be so bad!"
Cao Xuqiang smiled and said, "I hope so!" Zhang Yu, who immediately looked at the two dark circles under his eyes, couldn't help smiling, "Why don't you go and have a rest first? Let's discuss it when you have a good rest!"
Zhang Yu nodded, and the feeling of two dark circles under his eyes was really not good. "You can also take a break. You can't think more thoughtfully until you have a good rest!"
Cao Xu nodded with a smile. Zhang Yu returned to his bedroom again and rested.
Looking at Zhang Yu who returned to the room, Cao Xu took out the communication instrument of the dragon group and dialed the special line of the rosefinch.
"Big boss." Cao Xu said to the phone, with a slightly anxious tone.
"What's the matter?" On the phone, the rosefinch quickly said, with his understanding of Cao Xu, the rosefinch knew that something should have happened to Europe!
"Just now, Zhang Yu told me that Japan may have an alliance with European superpowers. Do you think this is possible?" Cao Xu quickly asked.
"Alliance?" On the phone, the rosefinch couldn't help saying with a little surprise. After a moment of silence, the rosefinch said again, "I'll go to Baihu about this matter immediately. I'll contact you later!"
After saying this, the rosefinch quickly hung up the phone. Obviously, the rosefinch also realized the nature of this matter while Cao Xu opened his mouth. Once the Japan and the European powers alliance, Cao Xu and her will not only be able to complete this 'simple' task, but also whether they can come back alive.
For about an hour, Cao Xu's communication instrument rang, and Cao Xu hurriedly connected.
"How's it going, boss?" Cao Xu asked anxiously.
"It's okay. According to the intelligence of our dragon group, it seems that the Japanese side has not sent strong people to go there this time. It should not be able to form an alliance with the European side." On the phone, the rosefinch said with a trace of ease.
Cao Xu here was also relieved. Although he knew that the possibility of Zhang Yu's speculation was very small, once they became real, the two of them would be real. The rosefinch's answer made Cao Xu secretly relieved.
"It's good that there is no alliance!" There was a smile on Cao Xu's face.
"You still have to be careful. White Tiger's information is not omnipotent. Once things go wrong, everything will be done to ensure the safety of both of you. Do you understand?" There was a slightly serious voice from the rosefinch on the phone.
"I understand!" Cao Xu nodded and said to the phone.
"That's it!" After saying that, the rosefinch hung up the phone.
Cao Xu put away the communication device and returned to his bedroom with a relaxed face. Sleep is more important for women. As soon as Cao Xu lay down ** without a good night, he fell asleep.
It was not until half late at night that Zhang Yu and Cao Xu woke up. Cao Xu told Zhang Yu the rosefinch's words, and the two relaxed coincidentally. Both of them have no doubts about the judgment of the dragon group. Since the possibility of the Japanese side and the European power alliance is extremely small, they are naturally excluded by the two. After a period of discussion, the two decided to go directly to the auction to buy the inheritance treasure.
When Cao Xu drove to the auction, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and it was still an hour before the beginning of the auction. At this moment, there are a lot of people walking in the front door of the auction. Cao Xu handed over the invitation card that had already been prepared, and the doorman kissed Zhang Yu after checking for a while.
Entering the venue is a wide auction house. In front of the venue is today's auction. After a distance, there are rows of comfortable seats, and there are some tea, snacks, coffee and so on. Zhang Yu couldn't help sighing the romance of the French in his heart. Even at this auction, the romance of the French was not diminished at all.
With the continuous entry of the crowd, the surroundings began to become lively. Most of these celebrities and rich people knew each other. Even if they didn't know each other, everyone started to talk at these times.
Zhang Yu and the two did not join in because of their own reasons, but tasted the tea on the table.
Time keeps passing, and in a blink of an eye, the auction begins. Between them, a beautiful blonde woman walked to the stage and coughed twice, and the people underground suddenly became quiet.
"Dear gentlemen and ladies, this auction held by our Price Auction House is now the beginning!" The woman's crisp voice spread to every corner of the auction house through the microphone on the stage.
As the woman's voice fell to the ground, a fierce applause came to the bottom.
"Next, we will enter the first auction at today's auction." The woman always has a shallow smile on her face, and her voice is even more pleasant. With her hot figure, it makes people appear.
As soon as the woman's voice fell, the two waitresses around her showed an oil painting.
The woman pointed to the painting and said with an indifferent smile, "The first item auction today is an oil painting in Picasso's early years. After special appraisal by relevant people, this painting is definitely the authentic work of Picasso. The starting price is 5 million euros, and each price increase should not be less than 100,000 euros. Let's start now..." After the woman briefly introduced the painting, she directly started the auction.
5 million euros? 60 million RMB? Zhang Yu couldn't help but be shocked. This is too fucking expensive. Even the paintings made of gold are not so valuable! Although he knew that Picasso was a famous painter, Zhang Yu was still a little surprised by the auction price. No, to be precise, he should be scared.
Just as Zhang Yu was shocked, the price of this Picasso's authentic work had been called more than 10 million euros, and the price was constantly renovated and rising. Even during this period, there was no incitement by the host, and the rich people below were directly refreshing the price.
"13.5 million..." An old man raised the sign in his hand and shouted again. Only after the price reached 12 million euros, there were indeed fewer people who could continue to call. After the price reached 13 million euros, only three people in the hall were still rising the price.
"13.8 million euros..." Just as the old man's words fell, a middle-aged man raised the sign in his hand again. At this point, the more popular ones are the rich people who are famous all over Europe. Those who were originally excited have already withdrawn from this competition.
