Chapter 1854 Strange Events at the Auction House

Sotheby's auction house
It is said that all the items being auctioned today are rare and precious treasures.

Many wealthy people in Hong Kong who are interested in this industry came to participate in this auction.

Because A Better Tomorrow is still showing in theaters and is gaining momentum.

Lou's Film Company is currently enjoying great success, and many people recognized Lou Xiao'e and came over to greet her.

There were so many people that He Yuzhu's face was starting to hurt from smiling so much.

After sitting down, He Yuzhu asked curiously, "What items are up for auction today? Why are there so many people here?"

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu: "When we were at home, I told you, but you were too lazy to listen. Now you know to ask."

Let me repeat myself, everything being auctioned today is a Chinese antique, including a piece of blue and white porcelain from the Yongle period.

Blue and white porcelain.

He Yuzhu is familiar with this.

He Yuzhu subconsciously sang out a line: "The sky is the color of rain and mist, and I am waiting for you."

Lou Xiao'e said disdainfully, "Turn your head over there and sing this line to your wife. Don't face me."

He Yuzhu scoffed, "Ignorance is truly terrifying. I'm singing 'Blue and White Porcelain,' don't flatter yourself."

Lou Xiao'e was so angry that she secretly reached out and pinched He Yuzhu.

Lin Jinghan saw this and quickly removed Lou Xiao'e's hand: "You two, stop fooling around."

Lou Xiao'e said sourly, "So you're worried about your husband? If you really care about him, tell him to behave himself."

He Yuzhu sat upright and gave Lou Xiao'e, who was illiterate, a lesson on blue and white porcelain.

Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "I didn't expect you could write lyrics!"

This song sounds good. Why don't you write it and have one of the company's artists sing it?

It sounded quite touching, but He Yuzhu still refused.

At this point in time, the Hong Kong entertainment industry has no shortage of good songs, so there's no need for him to help cheat.

The auction began quickly.

The first few auction items were mostly mediocre, and He Yuzhu wasn't particularly interested in them.

The people at the auction house knew his identity, and when they were auctioning off some pieces of jewelry, they made a point of glancing at He Yuzhu a few times.

Little did he know, He Yuzhu wasn't interested in diamonds at all. With that money, he'd rather buy gold than diamonds.

To put it simply, a diamond is a gemstone.

As for the idea that diamonds are forever, or that a diamond is eternal, plenty of people who buy diamonds end up getting divorced.

He Yuzhu only became interested in the later Chinese items.

The first item that interested him was a cloisonné gourd-shaped vase from the Qianlong period. This piece was said to be one of the items looted from the Old Summer Palace by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

It's fine if the topic of the Old Summer Palace isn't brought up, but He Yuzhu gets angry as soon as it is.

He decided to create a supernatural event for Sotheby's today.

Lin Jinghan had seen some of He Yuzhu's antique collection, including a small cloisonné bowl.

However, He Yuzhu's bowl is from the Guangxu period and is not as good as the gourd.

Lin Jinghan didn't know much about antiques, so she asked, "Compared to this gourd and the small bowl at home, which is more valuable?"

He Yuzhu explained in a low voice, "Of course it's this gourd. Antiques from the Qianlong period are far superior to those from the Guangxu period."

The starting price for this cloisonné gourd was ten million Hong Kong dollars. Listening to the bidding around him, He Yuzhu felt that he couldn't get it for less than twenty million.

Lin Jinghan naturally heard the bidding around her and couldn't help but say, "This price is too high."

Lou Xiao'e heard her words and said, "If you like it, then take a picture of it."

If it weren't for the words "Yuanmingyuan," He Yuzhu might have agreed.

However, He Yuzhu had already made up his mind to take the things away without spending a penny.

Of course, it's impossible to waste money.

"What's the point of making movies? How much money did our movie make?"

Lou Xiao'e thought He Yuzhu was stingy and even said disdainfully that he was stingy.

When Lou Xiao'e saw that He Yuzhu refused, she didn't insist.

After that, they photographed several more Chinese antiques. Lin Jinghan was somewhat surprised: "Why are they all from our country? They're from foreign countries, haven't they?"

Lou Xiao'e said, "Didn't your husband look down on those jewelry pieces that were being auctioned just now?"

He Yuzhu said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. How many good things can you find abroad? Those few pieces of jewelry you just saw are good things."

This kind of thing can only be used as a starting point to stimulate further discussion.

Lou Xiao'e, not one to bully, said, "How come I didn't notice you had so many flaws?"
There are many good things from abroad. Don't judge people with prejudice.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to argue with him and turned to stare at the passage behind him.

In reality, he was trying to explore the range of space that could be controlled.

Over the years, He Yuzhu has become much more skilled at controlling space, and the area that space can cover has also increased significantly.

Initially, He Yuzhu could only control the space and collect items within a ten-meter radius.

Later, this distance grew larger and larger.

Last year, He Yuzhu secretly tested it, and the spatial coverage area was at least 500 meters in radius.

However, the place where he conducted the test was an open space with no obstructions.

Sotheby's is different. Not only is there concealment, but it's extremely thorough concealment.

He Yuzhu didn't know whether Sotheby's measures would affect the space.

After conducting experiments, He Yuzhu discovered that there was indeed some impact, but it was not significant.

By the time He Yuzhu came to his senses, Lou Xiao'e had already raised the auction paddle.

How do I buy this?

Lou Xiao'e said, "There are only three items left. The last two are very expensive. Do you have the money to buy them?"

This one is cheaper, let's buy this one.

"We can't come all this way and then not buy anything."

What kind of outrageous talk is this? Who says that you have to buy something just because you come to an auction house?
Since he couldn't spend the money, He Yuzhu didn't complain.

The auction continued, and the final item was a piece of Yongle blue and white porcelain.

There were quite a few people who liked it, and the price went from HK$100 million to HK$200 million.

Lou Xiao'e had participated in auctions here before, so she was used to such madness.

He Yuzhu had seen a lot of news through the internet, so it's not surprising.

Lin Jinghan was quite surprised: "Is this thing really that expensive? What kinds of things do you collect?"

He Yuzhu smiled mysteriously. During the Cultural Revolution, He Yuzhu amassed a vast collection of items. What Lin Jinghan saw was only a small fraction of it.

The truly valuable items are all kept in his space.

Several of these items would fetch much higher prices if they were auctioned off.

He Yuzhu plans to build a museum in a few years specifically to house his collection.

"I had no intention of selling it."

The auction ended quickly, with the Yongle blue and white porcelain sold for a final price of HK$2.15 million.

As the Yongle blue and white porcelain was moved to the back, He Yuzhu began his work. He used his spatial ability to spray a sleeping potion into the room where the antiques were stored.

While the guards were drugged, He Yuzhu directly stored the antiques into his spatial storage.

When the auction participants went to collect their goods, they discovered the situation.

The auction house doors were immediately closed, and Hong Kong police arrived quickly to investigate.

Those who came to participate in the auction were all prominent figures, and many of them were protesting the matter.

He Yuzhu also participated in the protest and even joined the other customers in demanding compensation from Sotheby's auction house.

After this incident, Sotheby's reputation is now completely ruined.

However, this has nothing to do with He Yuzhu.

He'd love for all these auction houses to go bankrupt.

Using stolen Chinese goods to make money from China, they deserve to go bankrupt.

I remember there's a famous auction house in Hong Kong; I'll check it out next time. (End of Chapter)
