Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi
Chapter 139 The Jade Bridge Worth One Hundred Million
These stares did not affect the mood of the short guys in the private room.
They were secretly overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could get those things, other people's opinions didn't matter.
With the transaction settled, a distinguished young man, accompanied by his servants, quickly brought over the goods.
The young man, accompanied by several experts, carefully stepped forward to examine the scene, and was immediately both surprised and delighted.
"This...this isn't right. The items are real, but where are the divine crown and the Yata Mirror?"
Faced with the short man's gloomy expression, the young man remained calm and composed, saying neither servilely nor arrogantly:
"Sir, those two items were not included in this auction. They were bought directly by the Imperial Family for three billion."
They originally offered a billion for this divine garment, but our boss ultimately refused, saying he just wanted to make friends with you.
The young man looked youthful, but he was actually Baishui Mountain. With this old guy's experience, he naturally didn't care about a few days.
Otherwise, listen to this: they tricked someone and then claimed it was to make friends. Of course, this is Ji Haobo's idea.
The divine crown and the Yata no Kagami were indeed sold, and the 3 billion was also real; the only fake item was the Yata no Kagami.
That thing was something Ji Haobo had Yi Nanfeng find a similar antique bronze mirror and sell it to the Imperial Family, passing it off as the real thing.
After all, more than two thousand years have passed, and the common people don't really know what the Yata no Kagami looks like. In addition, it is a genuine antique, so no one can find fault with it.
At this moment, the few members of the conglomerate exchanged unpleasant glances, but ultimately had to swallow their pride and accept it.
They didn't dare to cause trouble on someone else's turf, especially since the other party had said they wanted to be friends.
The meaning is clear: if they dare to back out and not buy, then they are no longer friends, and if they are no longer friends, then they are enemies, right?
So, given this situation, you still expect to get out unscathed? Which is more important, money or your life?
Especially when it comes to everyone's money versus their own lives, even a fool would know which to choose.
Meanwhile, the final auction had already begun in the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the highlight of tonight's event is this jade pendant."
The auctioneer raised his voice and pointed with a trembling hand to something placed on the table next to him.
"Some people may not know what a jade burial suit is, but everyone should have heard of it."
That's right, this is the magical object that can make people young again and live forever.
At this point, some people might say, "Haven't jade burial suits been unearthed before? They don't seem as amazing as you're making them out to be."
You're right, there's nothing strange about what's outside.
Because the real jade burial suits disappeared long ago; all those that came after were just poor imitations.
The one next to me is from ancient times, and its owner is shrouded in mythology, which everyone is very familiar with.
As the poem testifies, the Queen Mother of the West opened her embroidered window at the Jade Pool, and the mournful song of the Yellow Bamboo echoed across the earth. The eight steeds traveled thirty thousand miles a day; why did King Mu not return?
That's right, he is King Mu of Zhou, who left behind countless legends with the Queen Mother of the West.
The beloved of the Queen Mother of the West, whom she longed for day and night, was actually a heartless man.
He wrapped himself in a jade burial suit in his quest for immortality, and after thousands of years, he almost regained his youth and became immortal.
Please rest assured that the information provided by our Crescent Moon Hotel is true.
When the seller opened the coffin a few months ago, the person inside was fresh and young. If he could just wait a few more days, he might just achieve his goal.
But all I can say is that it's fate, alas!
After the auctioneer finished speaking, the room became eerily quiet, with only the heavy breathing of the crowd.
A few breaths later, an uproar broke out. Although this information had already been spread, everyone was still skeptical.
But now that the Crescent Hotel has publicly guaranteed the authenticity of the information, no one has any doubts.
After all, their reputation isn't just empty talk; it's been built up little by little over many years, making them the undisputed number one in the industry.
After a flurry of discussion, the auctioneer finally rang the bell in his hand.
"Jingle Bell…"
The crisp sound of the bell silenced everyone, and they all stared intently at the jade pendant on the stage.
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. The story's finished, let's get down to business."
The auctioneer put down his jingle and excitedly announced in a loud voice.
"The starting price for this jade pendant is 200 million, and each bid must be at least 2 million higher. Anyone who desires immortality can begin bidding."
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone shouted.
"Three hundred million"
350 million
"Four hundred million"
"Five hundred million"
The bidding was intense, with one bid after another, but by the time it reached 600 million, only a handful of people were bidding.
Among them were a few guys who were living a simple life, but they were almost too tired to keep shouting.
It's not that the major conglomerates are short of money, but rather that this jade burial suit can only be used by one person. Although they are wealthy, it belongs to the entire conglomerate, not to any individual.
The situation is similar for the others; many large families have the ability to double or triple the price.
But they would never pay such a price for anyone, not even the clan leader or the one in charge.
Of course, this is also a flaw in the effectiveness of the jade burial suit, after all, several thousand years is too long, and there are too many variables involved;
Otherwise, if it takes only one or two years to see results, the people here would probably beat the dog to a pulp.
Just as the remaining few people gritted their teeth and raised the price to 800 million, a voice suddenly came from the private room on the second floor.
"One billion"
The room fell silent. Everyone looked up at the private room, wondering who this incredibly wealthy person was.
Ultimately, no one surpassed the price of one billion, and the auctioneer broke another gavel.
"Congratulations to this friend on achieving immortality! Let's all congratulate him!"
"Clap clap clap..."
This time, unlike the usual situation, everyone admired this incredibly wealthy person and applauded.
After a stick of incense had burned, the auctioneer said some meaningless things on stage, and the auction came to an end.
In a certain room, Ji Haobo was leisurely drinking tea with everyone when A Ning suddenly came over and said that Qiu Dehao wanted to see him.
"Oh! Considering this old man just bought the jade burial suit, let's see him!"
Ji Haobo told her to go and bring the person over, while Fatty Wang chuckled and said from the side:
"Brother Bo, this Lao Qiu is really powerful! He just added two hundred million at once, that's really domineering!"
"laugh"
Upon hearing this, Ji Haobo chuckled, a smile playing on his lips as he shook his head.
"What the hell are you thinking? I bet this guy is just being generous with other people's money, trying to curry favor!"
"This...Master Bo, are you saying that Yu Yong was bought by Lao Qiu for someone else?"
The people nearby were stunned when they heard this, their mouths agape in surprise; they had never imagined such a situation.
After all, that's a billion yuan. Who would be so bold as to use someone else's hand to get it done?
