What if I have some money as an online car-hailing driver?

Chapter 274 If You Dare To Target Me, I Will Make You Pay The Price
Buffett got tonight's auction list, and handed a copy to Yang Chen.

According to the list, there are a total of five antique cultural relics from the Dragon Kingdom in this auction, two of which are rabbit heads and rat heads of the twelve zodiac signs, and a gilded bronze Buddha from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It is Yuan blue and white and Tang Sancai.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Yang Chen's mouth.

The twelve zodiac signs are just ordinary objects to foreigners, because they don't have the term twelve zodiac signs.

Therefore, the rat head and the rabbit head are aimed at the people of the Dragon Kingdom, and only the people of the Dragon Kingdom will bid for these two things.

The gilded bronze Buddha may also be considered in terms of workmanship and its own precious metal value. There may be foreigners who will take it, but there is a high probability that only people from the Dragon Kingdom will bid for the auction.

Even the country can't solve the historical issue, and Yang Chen doesn't want to say anything more.

Now that we have encountered it this time, try to bring them back as much as possible.

Marshall Kennedy next to him is the master of Longguo antique artworks. Of course he knows what the rabbit head and rat head, as well as the gilded bronze Buddha, mean to the people of Longguo.

If these three items can be photographed, of course, it would be best if both Tang Sancai and Yuan Qinghua can be photographed. He can sell them at a higher price after a little manipulation and sending them to Longguo.

Because the rabbit head and the mouse head are not only cultural relics to the Dragon Kingdom, they represent the national dignity of the country.

Jenny Hathaway grew up in the Dragon Country. Apart from her appearance, her thoughts and values ​​are no different from the pure Dragon Country people.

Therefore, she also knows the value of rabbit heads and mouse heads.

Jenny asked: "Mr. Yang, do you want to bid for these two animal heads?"

Yang Chen: "It depends on the situation, if the price is right, I will shoot."

Buffett: "I have inquired about it. The target price of these two auction items will be between 2000 and 2500 million meters of gold. Converted into the currency of your Dragon Kingdom, it will cost about 1.5 million. If both are auctioned, you must at least Prepare 3 million. The cost is a bit high, you have to think about it carefully."

Gates: "This is only the minimum price expected by the auction house. If there is competition, the price may be higher."

Yang Chen: "It depends on the situation, as usual, if the price is right, I will definitely become a monk and bid for the auction. To you foreigners, these two items are of little value. But to Dragon Kingdom, they are of great significance."

Buffett and Gates nodded in understanding.

Phillips Hathaway said: "Your biggest competitor is from Dragonland, and then there is him."

Everyone looked at Marshall Kennedy at the next table in the direction he pointed.

Phillips Hathaway explained: "Marshall specializes in antique cultural relics and artworks from the Dragon Kingdom and surrounding countries. He must know the value of these two items, and he will definitely bid for them. They will be auctioned or sold at a higher price in the future. To the people of Dragon Kingdom."

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I only look at the price, not the opponent. No matter who the opponent is, it won't affect my judgment on the price of these two items."

Phillips Hathaway smiled and explained: "I understand. I mean, if Mr. Yang needs it, I can try to talk to Marshall and ask him to give you at least one, so that you don't have to pay so much money. Although you may not be short of money and don’t care about paying more, it’s a good thing to spend a little less, isn’t it?”

There is nothing wrong with saying this.

Originally, these things belonged to the Dragon Kingdom, but they appeared here because of some historical reasons. It would be nonsense for the people of the Dragon Kingdom to spend money to buy things from the Dragon Kingdom. It would be best if they could buy them with less money.

Yang Chen is rich, and the system also said that he can buy whatever he wants, but it is of course best to give foreigners less money.

Therefore, Yang Chen nodded and said, "Then thank you Mr. Hathaway."

Phillips Hathaway also wanted to please her daughter by helping Yang Chen, that's why she was so active and active.

"Haha...you're welcome, you're Jenny's boss, and we're our own people, so you're welcome for such a small favor. Wait, I'll go and talk to him." Phillips Hathaway said with a smile, and then went to The next table communicated with Marshall.

When Marshall heard that Yang Chen was going to bid for the two animal heads, he immediately laughed.

He came over and said to Yang Chen: "Hi, I'm Marshall Kennedy, what's your name?"

Yang Chen: "Hello, my name is Yang Chen."

Marshall Kennedy: "I heard from Mr. Hathaway that you want to bid on those two animal heads, is that right?"

Yang Chen nodded.

Marshall Kennedy said confidently: "I advise you to give up. It's not that I don't give Mr. Hathaway face, but that I am determined to obtain these two things. I must also take down the gold-plated bronze Buddha. You Instead, you can bid for Tang Sancai and Yuan Qinghua, and I can give you those two items."

Phillips Hathaway hurriedly said: "Marshall, don't be like this, he is my daughter's boss, just let him have one."

Marshall Kennedy: "Mr. Hathaway, aren't you embarrassing me? This is a business, a real money business, how can you just give it to someone else? If he has money, he will bid with me. If he has no money, he will be honest. Just sit down and don't talk. Miss Jenny, are you right?"

Jenny Hathaway sneered and said, "You are right, it still depends on one's strength."

Marshall Kennedy: "Yes! That's great. Whether you can get it or not depends entirely on your personal strength. Even if I am willing to give in, this Mr. Yang will not be willing to take it. Right?"

Yang Chen nodded with a smile, and said: "Mr. Kennedy is right, then let's each rely on our own abilities."

Marshall Kennedy: "Okay! Then we will each rely on our own abilities. If Miss Jenny likes any item, we can jointly bid for it, and we can share the money equally. I have a complete industrial chain here, and I can definitely guarantee the maximum benefit .”

Jenny Hathaway shook her head and said, "Thank you, no need."

Marshall Kennedy: "Then when the auction is over, can I invite Miss Jenny to have a midnight snack?"

Jenny Hathaway shook her head and said, "I don't have the habit of eating late at night, sorry."

Marshall Kennedy wanted to continue talking, but the host had already stepped onto the stage to warm up the scene.

He had to go back to his seat.

It seems that Jenny Hathaway is not easy to deal with, and she won't give it a chance.

Marshall thought of a way to pursue Jenny with the help of Phillips Hathaway.

Phillips Hathaway has always wanted to take a share in Marshall's antique trading company, but of course Marshall is unwilling to share in such a profitable company.

But if this person is the future father-in-law, and he is also the governor's father-in-law, it will be different. If he gives out a little equity, he will definitely get more in the future.

Businessmen are good at calculating, as long as they can get N times return in the future, they can invest now.

Marshall sent a message to Phillips.

"I like your daughter, help me to pursue her, our two strong teams will definitely make more money in the future. I can give you 15% of the shares in the antique trading company, and you don't have to give me any money, it's so white Multiple shares, as long as you help me pursue your daughter."

After reading the news, Phillips quickly put away his phone.

To be honest, Marshall's conditions are very good. The son of the governor of New York State, not counting their family property, is his own antique trading company, which is very profitable, and he looks good in all aspects, and he is indeed a good choose.

But Jenny grew up in Longguo since she was a child, and it is not certain whether she likes Americans or not.

Therefore, Phillips didn't dare to bring up this matter rashly, let's talk about it when his relationship with Jenny gets better.

Soon, the auction began.

The first few lots were paintings by foreigners. Although there were many works by famous artists like Van Gogh, Yang Chen never bid.

He will never collect things from foreigners, he only wants the brothers of Long Guo.

Soon, the gilded bronze Buddha of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty came into play.

Auctioneer: "This lot is amazing. It comes from the Ming Dynasty of Longguo, that is, 1403-1424. If this thing is placed in Longguo, it will be a national treasure. Those who know the goods must bid, and I will not bid for others. Too much to say. The starting price of this lot is 800 million gold, and the default is 10 gold for each price increase. Now start bidding!"

The people of Longguo on the scene began to bid.

"1000 million meters of gold!"

"1100 million meters of gold!"

"1200 million meters of gold!"

……

Seeing the people of Long Kingdom bidding against each other, Yang Chen shook his head helplessly.

One's own people raised the price up. Isn't this internal friction?

Bidding also needs to pay attention to strategy. As long as there are no foreigners bidding, there is no need for your own people to increase the price so much at once.

This is where the thinking is different.

Yang Chen felt that the Dragon Kingdom people who came to the scene today are all his own people. No matter who bids for the auction item, it is a good thing, and everything can be returned to the Dragon Kingdom.

But other people don’t think so. They only see benefits in their eyes. The purpose of their bidding is to go back and resell at a higher price, not for the feelings of the family and the dignity of the nation.

Therefore, they not only have to compete with foreigners, but also compete with their own people, striving to be photographed by themselves.

When the price reached 1500 gold, the other Dragon Kingdom people were quiet.

This thing is not very attractive to Yang Chen, as long as it is sold by Long Guo people, he will not bid, there is no need to make foreigners earn more.

However, Marshall made a bid at this time, and he offered 1800 million gold.

He purposely raised the price so high, one is to make it easier for him to earn more in the future, and the other is to scare away other competitors.

The price of 1800 million exceeded the psychological price of other Longguo bidders, and they did not dare to bid again.

Marshall said proudly, "I will definitely get what I want!"

"I paid 1810 million meters of gold!" Yang Chen said loudly.

Everyone looked over.

Marshall Kennedy said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, are you sure you want to compete with me?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile: "Auctioning is a matter of individual ability, isn't it?"

Marshall Kennedy laughed loudly and said, "That's right, I like opponents like you. If no one bids, then I don't think it's interesting. I offer 2000 million gold, do you still want to follow?"

"2010 million gold!" Yang Chen said.

Anyway, it is enough to increase the price by 10 meters each time, and we are determined not to let foreigners earn more.

Marshall Kennedy refused to admit defeat, and continued to bid with Yang Chen.

The final price came to 2210 million, which was won by Yang Chen.

Marshall Kennedy looked displeased, and said: "You fight like this with me now, wait for those two animal heads, and I'll see how you can take pictures!"

Yang Chen: "As long as the price is right, I will definitely continue to bid."

The auctioneer dropped the hammer very excitedly, this gilt bronze Buddha in the Yongle period belonged to Yang Chen.

Next came the auction of Tang Sancai and Yuan Qinghua, which were finally auctioned off by Longguo buyers at prices of 350 million meters and 820 million meters respectively.

Then came the highlight in the eyes of the people of Longguo, which is the head of the rabbit and the head of the rat, the second animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs.

Auctioneer: "These two items may not be attractive to people from other countries, but for friends in the Dragon Kingdom, they are definitely must-win items. These two items are the heads of the twelve zodiac animals in the Dragon Kingdom. Rabbit heads and mouse heads, people who understand them don’t need my introduction to know their value. Now we start bidding for mouse heads, with a starting price of 1500 million gold. Each price increase defaults to 10 gold, and there is no upper limit. Bid now! "

Buyers in Longguo immediately rushed to bid.

"1600 million meters of gold!"

"2000 million meters of gold!"

"2600 million meters of gold!"

……

Seeing his own people bidding so much, Yang Chen was really heartbroken.

But everyone's thinking is different, and he can't say anything.

If he talks about national feelings or something, people might laugh at him for moral kidnapping.

Therefore, love doesn't care about them, and it will be fine when the price is almost the same.

Soon the price was called by the people of Longguo to 4500 million meters gold.

Marshall next to him complained: "Are these people from the Dragon Kingdom stupid? My own people are so enthusiastic, is there too much money to spend? Fake, I dare not increase the price at such a high price. It will not be easy to change hands in the future." .”

But after hesitating for a moment, he still raised the price.

"4600 million!" Marshall yelled.

He knows the value of the animal heads of the Chinese zodiac. This price may not make more money, but it will definitely not lose money.

Auctioneer: "One time for 4600 million meters! Twice for 4600 million meters! Is there a higher price?"

Yang Chen immediately raised the sign in his hand, which meant that he increased the price by 10 meters.

Yang Chen's principle is like this, to ensure that things can be won, but not let foreigners earn too much.

The default price increase is 10 meters for each bidding, so he will add 10, not a dime more.

Marshall Kennedy said angrily: "Did I say you were making trouble on purpose? Do you have so much money to give to the auction house? Don't be like some unqualified person in your Dragon Kingdom who bought something and paid for it."

"Haha..." A group of foreigners laughed.

Yang Chen rolled his eyes at him, and said: "If you have money, then bid, if you don't have money, then shut up, you talk so much nonsense, will the auction house give you things for nothing?"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed again.

Jenny Hathaway also covered her mouth and smiled.

Marshall saw that this was not good, he still wanted to pursue her, how could he let her laugh at him?
"I have no money? You don't want to inquire about the strength of your brother Marshall! I offer 4700 million gold! Do you still dare to follow?" Marshall said with a look of embarrassment.

Yang Chen still raised the sign.

Auctioneer: "This friend from Longguo bid 4710 million meters of gold. Is there a higher price?"

Marshall complained: "How much do you pay, and you only increase the price every time, what do you mean?"

Yang Chen: "It's fine if it's more than you. You don't care how I bid? Do you want to continue? You don't dare to continue with this price. Counting commissions and other expenses, you can't sell at such a high price even if you go to Longguo .”

Marshall felt that what Yang Chen said was very reasonable, the price of 3 million Dragon National Coins was really not easy to change hands, so he could only give up.

If this thing is some famous paintings handed down from generation to generation, he can collect it himself.

But this thing is of no value to the foreigner. He bought it with a bonus of 5000 million meters and put it in his hand.

Marshall fell silent.

After the auctioneer yelled three times, he made a final decision, and the rat head belonged to Yang Chen.

The people of the Dragon Kingdom at the scene all looked at Yang Chen.

"Who is this person? Wouldn't it be a blood loss if you take it back at this price?"

"It should be the agent of a certain boss."

"It must be an agent, maybe it was sent by the national level."

"At such a young age, it is absolutely impossible to have that much money. I know almost all collectors and rich men in China, and I have never seen anyone whose son looks like this. Therefore, I can be sure that he is the agent of a certain big man. It's not convenient for me to come forward, so I sent him to bid for it."

……

What's wrong with youth?
Do you have to be poor to be young?

Brother is bidding on his own behalf, not anyone's agent.

Think too much you guys!

Next is the rabbit head.

Just like the situation just now, the people of Longguo pushed up the price by themselves.

When the price reached 2800 million, the people of the Dragon Kingdom didn't raise the price anymore. At this time, Marshall looked at Yang Chen and said, "Are you bidding?"

Yang Chen: "You offer yours, why do you care if I offer?"

Auctioneer: "One time for 2800 million meters! Two times for 2800 million meters!"

Marshall: "I pay 2900 million gold!"

Auctioneer: "Okay, 2900 million meters of gold! And... wow, this friend from Longguo has raised the price by another 10! Is there a higher price?"

Marshall gritted his teeth with hatred, and said: "You are enough! Every time I bid, you bid, and if I don't bid, you don't bid. Are you targeting me?"

In fact, he made a mistake. Yang Chen just made sure that the item would not fall into the hands of foreigners. If the bid was made by someone else, he would still increase the price by 10. It was not aimed at Marshall, but this unlucky kid wanted to win every time. , but was always killed by Yang Chen.

The rat is ranked first in the Chinese zodiac, so the price of the rat head is slightly higher.

The price of the rabbit head is not so high, and the people in the Dragon Kingdom still understand the customs and habits of the Dragon Kingdom.

However, 2910 million meters of gold is also a sky-high price, and these things that are originally from the Dragon Kingdom have allowed these foreigners to make so much money for nothing.

Marshall gritted his teeth, and continued to bid with Yang Chen.

"3000 million meters of gold!"

"3010 million meters of gold!"

"3500 million meters of gold!"

"3510 million meters of gold!"

……

The two bid in rounds, but everyone on the scene was stunned.

"Wow!"

"Are they crazy?"

"Who is this Dragon Country man? So ruthless?"

"Did he not do enough homework? This price is no longer profitable."

"How much money does this guy bring? Just took a photo of the gilded bronze Buddha, and then took a photo of the mouse head, and now the rabbit head has to be put together!"

……

When the price was pushed up to 3810 million, Marshall gave up.

"Fake! Damn it! This kid is definitely targeting me! Originally, these things should belong to me, and I can earn tens of millions of gold back when I go to Longguo! Fake! He is ruining my money!" Marshall Talk to your companions.

The companions sneered in response.

"This is Niu Yue, not Long Guo, we can teach him how to behave!"

"But if we dare to touch him, Sotheby's auction house may hold us accountable."

"According to the rules, the auction house must ensure that the items are delivered safely to the place designated by the customer. We really can't do anything."

"We don't think about the lot, so we think about him."

"Ha ha……"

Next is Tang Sancai and Yuan Qinghua.

There are many such things in Yang Chen's art gallery, he doesn't need to give money to these foreigners, so he didn't participate in the auction.

Soon, the auction will end.

Yang Chen became the gold owner who spent the most money in this auction.

Those buyers from the Dragon Kingdom hurried over to exchange business cards with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen doesn't want to be so high-profile. When the domestic news exposes him, it will be difficult for him to drive an online car-hailing service in the future, and he took the photo back to the national treasure. If he doesn't hand it over to the country, it will inevitably arouse public opinion.

It's better to keep this kind of thing low-key, and just send the things to Minghai Art Museum quietly.

People from Sotheby's auction house came over and invited Yang Chen to sign the contract.

Yang Chen made it clear that everything should be handled in a low-key manner. Ma Xinmi, the person in charge of the auction house, immediately dismissed all irrelevant personnel and signed a contract with Yang Chen alone.

The two sides mainly need to discuss two things.

First, the issue of payment.

Second, delivery issues.

This time, the system is helping to pay, and it will be paid in one lump sum during working hours tomorrow.

Ma Xinmi immediately held Yang Chen's hand excitedly, and said: "Mr. Yang is a powerful buyer. On behalf of Sotheby's Auction House, I will present you with a VIP card. In the future, our Sotheby's auction will Be sure to inform you in advance, you can enter and participate without capital verification.”

After finishing speaking, Ma Xinmi called the secretary and asked the secretary to immediately make a VIP card according to Yang Chen's identity information and send it over.

Yang Chen is so straightforward, so Ma Xinmi will naturally be more refreshing, he immediately said that Sotheby's will be responsible for delivering the goods to any prefecture-level city in Longguo.

Yang Chen waved his hand and replied: "No, you can just send the things to the SHIELD Security Group. I don't know which street it is in the Brooklyn area. You can contact me yourself. Give it to a man named Adam Hill Wa people, you don’t have to worry about the rest.”

Ma Xinmi: "Oh, I understand, I understand! Mr. Yang cooperates with Aegis Security Group, and ask them to help escort him back to China. Right?"

Yang Chen nodded.

Ma Xinmi: "Okay! Then we've made a deal. Tomorrow we will receive the payment from Mr. Yang, and we will immediately deliver the goods to the SHIELD Security Group and hand them over to Adam Silva."

Yang Chen nodded, and said: "Okay. It's getting late, I have to go back to rest. There will be a period later!"

Mahinmi: "Okay, okay."

At this time, the secretary hurried over and brought a VIP card.

Ma Xinmi took the card, held it in both hands and handed it to Yang Chen, saying: "Mr. Yang, this is our Sotheby's VIP card. With this card, you can participate in any Sotheby's auction, and there is no need for capital verification .”

Yang Chen took the card, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay! Thank you. If there are more things like this in the future, you must inform me. In addition, if you have a channel to find other beast capitals, we can privately Talk about the price, there is no need to hold an auction with great fanfare, and I will definitely not let you suffer in terms of price."

Sotheby's probably wouldn't do that, but Mahinmi himself might not.

Who is not interested in tens of millions of rice gold?

Ma Xinmi: "Haha... no problem! I will definitely look for Mr. Yang carefully. If there is any news, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Yang Chen nodded, and left the auction site.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Marshall led people to greet him.

Marshall said very angrily: "Boy, you deliberately targeted me and caused me to lose tens of millions of gold. I will definitely make you pay the price!"

Yang Chen chuckled, and said, "You don't have the money to bid, and you don't allow others to bid? Is this your gangster logic?"

Marshall: "Hehe... I won't talk nonsense with you. Miss Jenny, can I invite you to have a supper together?"

Jenny Hathaway: "I don't eat supper with a gangster mind."

After finishing speaking, Jenny pulled Yang Chen away.

Marshall cursed angrily, then turned to look at Phillips Hathaway.

Phillips Hathaway just sighed helplessly, did not speak, and hurriedly chased after Yang Chen and Jenny Hathaway.

At this time, Marshall's cell phone rang.

He quickly connected and said loudly, "Hey, Mr. Ye Xuan, what's the matter?"

Yang Chen, who hadn't walked very far, suddenly stopped.

Ye Xuan?

Was it that Ye Xuan from the Ye family that Marshall was talking about just now?

Or... just a homonym?
