546: C546 Auction

C546 Auction

The dinner party was indeed pretty good. The location was at Morris's home. Morris was a person who enjoyed life very much. He had a special chef team, and his level was comparable to a Michelin 3-star restaurant.

After having their fill, Zhou Yi said his goodbyes to Morris, who wanted to keep him at the inn, and the convoy headed towards the residence that Luo Yiming had arranged for him a long time ago.

Of course, before that, there was one more thing Zhou Yi wanted to see about the secret lab.

Unlike the regular office buildings and factories outside, the secret laboratory was the most important place. The three doctors that had been recruited previously were there as well, along with many other experiments and information that could not be known by the outside world.

On the way, Zhou Yi and Luo Yiming chatted for a while about the company's development. Luo Yiming suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Boss …" There will be an auction tomorrow. Would you like to take a look? "

"Auction?" Zhou Yi frowned as he looked at Luo Yiming. He didn't understand why Luo Yiming would suddenly change the topic.

"It's this kind of boss, this auction is hosted by the Luocheng International Auction House, and the scale is relatively large, so every time it's held, it would attract a lot of rich people to come to bid. "Originally, I was invited to prepare to go, but who would've thought that you'd come at the right time, boss …"

"So that's how it is." Zhou Yi suddenly understood. He had heard of this Luocheng International Auction House before, the large-scale auctions that were usually held were usually invited, it wasn't that those with strength and status wouldn't even be able to enter, and the quality of the items auctioned were all of high quality. It could be said that many rich people would rush to this auction like a flock of ducks.

"It's good to have a look." Zhou Yi smiled. However, he did not have the intention of making connections with other people. He only wanted to watch the show and participate in some experiences that he had never experienced before.

He was short on time. Using this method to slowly strengthen his network was too inefficient.

"Is there anything special about this auction?" Zhou Yi asked curiously.

He asked casually but Luo Yiming heard the question and his face turned ugly. He smiled bitterly: "Boss, there is something special about this auction. This time, there were a total of twenty-three artifacts that once belonged to Hua Country that were auctioned off during the auction. I think... The other party might have come with ill intentions. "

Zhou Yi understood Luo Yiming's meaning.

There were too many cultural relics in the Hua Country, and they all landed overseas for various reasons. To be openly displayed, sold, and sold by some foreign collectors.

Many rich and powerful people in the country were attracted by the patriotism, often forming their own organizations and taking the cultural relics that belonged to the Chinese people and bringing them back to their home country.

However, this sort of behavior would often be obstructed by some foreign rich people. They would maliciously bid, and the price of almost every item sold in China would far exceed the estimated price.

Wealthy merchants often have to spend more than a few times the value of the relic itself to get it back.

However, these wealthy merchants had never stopped bringing back cultural relics. In their eyes, cultural relics from the country carried the country's history and culture, so they were priceless.

"Looks like I have to go to tomorrow's auction." Zhou Yi revealed a cold smile.

The next day, Zhou Yi, accompanied by Luo Yiming, came to the auction.

Due to the lack of time, Luo Yiming could only get one more ticket. Plus the original ticket, only the two of them could go.

Xiang Yu stayed at his residence and didn't follow him.

The stadium looked inconspicuous. Only after entering the stadium did they realize that the outside was only the tip of the iceberg. The inside was truly different.

The entire stadium was divided into three areas. It could hold over a thousand people at the same time.

However, this time's auction was a grand occasion, especially since the organizers had spent a large amount of money to promote the event in the Chinese circle, which had a huge impact on everyone.

In addition, there were quite a few treasures that could be said to be of the national treasure grade. Therefore, other than the Chinese, there were also quite a few other places with almost no seats available.

Zhou Yi easily found his seat according to the seat symbol on the VIP ticket.

This position was indeed not bad. One could easily see the situation on stage from the middle of the third row of the first region.

The area of area of the first region was relatively small, and one would need at least trillions of people to sit here. Therefore, there were few people here, and it was the most valuable area in the entire auction.

Next to the seat was a small table with a tablet computer on it. The tablet computer also allowed you to watch auctions and participate in auctions.

Beneath him was a leather chair. It was very comfortable, very spacious, and also had a wide field of vision.1

Luo Yiming was sitting next to Zhou Yi. Since the auction hadn't officially started, Zhou Yi picked up the laptop beside him and opened up the auction list.

The main purpose of today's auction was to auction away antiques and cultural relics.

All of the auctioned items covered several tens of countries' era.

"This golden silk garment seems to have been worn by Louis VIII. The auction price should be around six hundred thousand …"

Zhou Yi guessed that since he didn't study antiques, he was just making wild guesses based on his memories of historical and cultural history.

As he said this, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

He subconsciously looked up and saw an Asian middle-aged man standing in front of him.

"Sir, may I ask if you are from China?"

The man's Mandarin was very standard. Zhou Yi nodded.

"The gold silk shirt you mentioned just now, the last time it appeared was at the auction held in English in 2005."

"At that time, the transaction price was 300,000 euros. With the exchange rate of the euro and the United States dollar, as well as the inflation of the past few years and the fact that this item has more than a decade of history, the auction price could definitely reach more than a million years of age."

"Hehe, so based on the price you mentioned just now, wouldn't the owner of the item be at a disadvantage?"

Zhou Yi couldn't help but to squint his eyes.

I just started to talk so much to myself...

Are we familiar with each other?

The man seemed to have seen through Zhou Yi's thoughts. He smiled and stretched out his hand, "I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Dong Zhishang and I'm from Xinguo, an amateur collector."

Since they already introduced themselves, Zhou Yi wasn't too arrogant.

He stood up, stretched out his right hand and said, "My name is Zhou Yi, I'm from China, so I don't have any hobbies. I guessed the price just now."

Dong Zhishang shook hands with Zhou Yi and said with a smile, "So it's Mr Zhou. Nice to meet you, are you here to participate in this auction in your father's place?"

"I don't know what line of business your father is in, but I have quite a few businesses in China. Who knows, there might even be some connections."

Zhou Yi's tone was a little impatient: "I'm not here in my father's place, I'm here in my own place."

Although Dong Zhishang still had a smile on his face, he was a bit embarrassed.
