Chapter 485 Auction Items
"I have brought the things. You can take a look first."
Zhi Xuan took out the scroll from his arms, but at this time, the map in the scroll had been replaced by a fake one, which ordinary people could not see at all.
Although Long Tian was not an appraiser, as the owner of the auction house, he was still able to identify the value of some items. When he saw the scroll in Zhi Xuan's hand, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Are you sure this is it?"
"Yes, that's it!"
Listening to Zhi Xuan's answer, Long Tian had a dark look on his face. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm, "Brother-in-law, are you sure you are not here to trick me today?"
"Am I like that kind of person? Come on, can you hold an auction for me?" Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes.
Long Tian glanced at him with a strange look, took out a list from the side and handed it to Zhi Xuan, "Brother-in-law, look at the lowest prices of the items I have sold here. We have no shame in anything that does not exceed one million." take it out."
As he spoke, he pointed at the scroll again, "Look at your painting again. Except for the fact that the material is old and somewhat valuable, the rest is not valuable at all. It can be bought for 10,000 yuan at most. Isn't this a blow to me? The sign!"
"Can you hold an auction?"
"Brother-in-law, aren't you trying to trick me? Let's not talk about whether anyone buys this painting. Even if it is sold, I can only get a 20% rebate. It's only two thousand yuan, which is not enough to cover the cost. The cost, and you still want me to promote it, and the most important thing is that our sign cannot be damaged!"
"Can you hold an auction?"
"I……"
The corner of Long Tian's mouth twitched, and after talking to me for a long time, his saliva was dry. Are you not ready to listen?
Too cheap!
A deep sense of frustration arises spontaneously!
He gritted his teeth fiercely, "Okay, I will auction this painting for you, but I have to wait a week or two, and then organize an auction with other items, otherwise I will lose so much that I won't even be able to wear my underwear." .”
Zhi Xuan smiled meaningfully. Although the scroll itself was not valuable, the real map inside was a priceless treasure.
If the Murong family knew the news, let alone one billion, even if it was two billion, they would never hesitate at all. However, no one knew that the map inside had been replaced by a fake one by Zizixuan.
"Brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work. Just help me promote it these days. I want everyone to know about this painting. The starting price is only one yuan!"
Zhi Xuan patted his shoulder with a smile.
Grass!
Long Tian almost cursed.
I've already lost all my money by helping you promote it, and I'm not prepared to make any money from you, a scammer.
But you specified a starting price of one yuan. What does this mean?
Tianhao Auction House takes a high-end route, and the starting price of an item has never been less than one million. Your starting price of one dollar is equivalent to a rat droppings ruining a pot of porridge!
This is completely shooting yourself in the foot!
Didn’t you say you would give me a billion dollar deal?
This is a scam!
In the following time, Long Tian took photos of the scroll as required, and then sent it to various publicity channels, although he looked very aggrieved on the surface.
But there is no ambiguity in doing things.
In less than an hour, the picture of the scroll appeared on major websites and publicity channels in the capital. Most people were confused as to why a scroll of this quality was so hyped by the auction house.
But some people know it very well, such as the Murong family, the white-haired man from Lingyun Sect, Ling Xingang from Shadow, etc...
No one expected that just because of this painting, the whole capital would become turbulent. Everyone was waiting for the moment when the auction arrived.
Even Murong Qing stopped everything he was doing and sent people to keep an eye on the situation at the auction house while raising funds. If he could find the seller in advance and conduct the transaction privately.
Not only can you avoid unnecessary troubles and deceive others, but you can also save a lot of money.
Because those who are truly interested in the scrolls must know about Mount Sumeru, and these people are definitely not ordinary characters.
"Brother, we have found out. Zhi Xuan went to the auction house an hour ago, and the scroll should be in his hands!" Murong Feipeng came to the hall.
"What does he want to do?"
Murong Qing frowned. If they got the scroll, they would definitely not let anyone know about it, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble. But the other party did the exact opposite.
Doesn't he know how precious that scroll is?
wrong!
What a great Yizixuan, I really underestimate you!
Murong Qing's eyes suddenly lit up and he raised his head sharply, "That kid probably wants to use the scroll in his hand to lure out the other person who owns the scroll, so that he can reap the benefits!"
"Moreover, in this way, the news we sent out before will have no meaning. Everyone's eyes will be focused on the auction, and no one will be staring at him anymore."
"Brother, do you mean that he has obtained the secret of the scroll? Doesn't that mean the scroll in his hand is useless?"
Murong Feipeng frowned. He had been pursuing this matter for several years, but he didn't expect that he would take advantage of Zhi Xuan in the end.
"That's not necessarily true. Regardless of whether Zhi Xuan has solved the secret or not, we have to find a way to get the scroll. Even if there is only a fifty percent chance, we can't let it go!" Murong Qing's eyes flashed. .
Murong Feipeng's expression trembled, "But if everyone knows that our Murong family has obtained the scroll, won't we become the target of public criticism and push ourselves to the top of the wave, and we don't know if Zizixuan can do anything. "
At this time, the great elder came in from the outside, "I can't care about that much anymore. Mount Xumi will appear in less than a month. Let's get the scroll first. At worst, we won't show our true colors during the auction. Just No one knows that the Murong family got it."
Upon hearing this, Murong Qing's eyes lit up, "What the Great Elder said is that it's settled. Pay close attention to the situation at the auction house during this period!"
Everyone was preparing for the auction, but Zhi Xuan was instigating this matter very leisurely, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
"Brother-in-law, let's go out for a walk!" Zhi Xuan hooked Long Tian's neck, and the two of them walked outside, arm in arm.
Long Tian covered his pockets with a bitter look on his face, "Um...brother-in-law, let's just go shopping, I don't have any money!"
"Look what you said, I'm not cheating you of money, why are you so nervous? I just arrived in the capital and I'm not familiar with this place. Please help me get familiar with it."
Although Zhi Xuan said it seriously, Long Tian didn't look like it.
There is no way, the image of cheating has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and cannot be erased!
