Chapter 153 Dad Wang, are you still short of a dog?
Wang Chen was worried.

He was too lazy to raise his voice to auction off the items; it would be tiring to sell so many items.

"Sure, please, President Ma. I will give you a handsome reward after the auction."

"No no no."

Matthew waved his hands quickly.

He bent down slightly and smiled, and said a little flatteringly: "It is my honor to share Mr. Wang's worries. I like making friends. If Mr. Wang has any treasures in the future, I hope he can think of Matthew."

"Okay, thank you for your help then."

Speaking of the auction house, Wang Chen suddenly remembered that his shelter had not been sold yet.

"Matthew, when will the things in that shelter be auctioned?"

"The auction will be held in Xianggang the day after tomorrow, Mr. Wang. I sent you the detailed procedures yesterday. Didn't you read it?"

"Uh, let me look back."

Wang Chen’s WeChat account is about to explode. Besides, he is busy hunting for treasures and making money every day, so he doesn’t have the leisure to browse through them one by one.

At this time, more than a dozen stylish and exquisite women came in from outside.

Wang Chen took a look and felt that it looked familiar.

Liu Jin, who was standing by, smiled obscenely and leaned over to Wang Chen's ear and said:

"Let me tell you, these are some celebrities from the entertainment industry. They are here to take advantage of your traffic and watch this "grand" auction!"

Wang Chen nodded.

Indicates knowing.

After all, the original copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia is a rare cultural relic that is hard to come by.

There are only a few copies collected in the whole of China now.

And none of the people who can come here are simple people.

If they have the chance to get close to someone powerful, it would be worth wasting all their connections.

It's not just these stars.

If these treasures did not belong to him, these people would probably not bother to have anything to do with him.

"Ahem." Liu Jin covered his mouth. "Xiao Chen, which one have you taken a fancy to? Let me tell you, with your current influence, you can sleep with 99% of the stars with just a hint!"

"..." Wang Chen paused for a moment, looked at the comments in the live broadcast room, and then glanced at Liu Jin: "Mr. Liu, don't say anything careless. Do you think I am that kind of person?"

Fortunately, these words were not heard by netizens in the live broadcast room, otherwise how would others view him.

"Hehe..." Liu Jin smiled obscenely.

A group of cultural relics experts on the stage assisted Matthew in evaluating and grading the twenty boxes of treasures, and determining their names, specifications, quantity and quality.

3pm.

After more than fifty rounds of fierce competition.

All the gold, silver and jewelry with cultural relics were auctioned off in batches.

Most of the bidders for these gold, silver and jewelry came from small places or unknown museums, while those famous museums, cultural relics research institutes, and representatives from all parties all sat back and did not make any moves.

Everyone knows it.

Small fish eat shrimps, big fish eat small fish, this is an eternal social law.

Do things within your capabilities.

Four p.m.

Everyone was staring at the packaged Yongle Encyclopedia on the stage, as well as the finale auction item, Zhu Youjian's blood-written letter, despite their hunger.

"Ahem, distinguished guests present, please be quiet. The next item we are going to auction is Mr. Wang's Yongle Encyclopedia. This volume is numbered 283, with 560 volumes, and contains plants..."

He did not dare to hesitate, as these things had been authenticated by dozens of authoritative scholars and had been confirmed to be the authentic copies of the Yongle Encyclopedia.

"Okay! The starting price is 100 million! Each bid cannot be less than 5 million!"

"Start shooting!"

The stars sitting in the back row inadvertently cast their eyes towards Wang Chen.

It would be a lie if they didn't say they were jealous.

One hundred million. Even for top stars, it is not easy to earn this amount.

Matthew's voice had just fallen.

Hundreds of signs were raised at the same time in the audience.

Matthew was dumbfounded.

Netizens were also shocked.

"Wow, the Yongle Encyclopedia is such a good thing."

"This thing is very popular, mainly because it is rare and you can't buy it even if you have money."

"The auctioneer looked completely bewildered. Haha. I believe he has never encountered such a hot treasure before!"

"One hundred million! The starting price is the end of my life!"

"Brother, you think too highly of yourself. This is the end of your eight lives!" "Dad Wang, do you still need a dog?"

When Wang Chen saw this comment, he looked away speechlessly.

Matthew is worthy of having been in the auction house for many years.

Just a few words suppressed the out-of-control situation.

He continued with a smile: "Dear guests, I know you are eager to buy treasures. Now there are 103 people who have added 5 million at the same time. Is there anyone who can add more?"

At this time.

A middle-aged man with a beard from Country M, wearing a high-end custom-made grey suit from Oxford, stood up quickly.

He shouted to Wang Chen who was drinking tea on the stage: "Mr. Wang, to show my sincerity, I will add another 50 million to the base price."

He smiled faintly, raised his right hand and spread out his five fingers.

"Wow!"

Everyone in the audience was instantly furious.

Everyone looked at him with some resentment.

Then he turned to look at Wang Chen to see what he had to say.

Netizens were also confused.

"If I add 50 million at once, will this foreigner be able to bid for it?"

"You're stupid. Anyway, it's Lao Wang who makes the money, why should we complain?"

"This foreigner is here to mess things up. I saw the director of the Palace Museum turned pale, haha."

"In our country, apart from private buyers, many museums have limited funds to apply for. Adding 50 million in one go will directly crush a large number of people!"

Everyone looked at Wang Chen, and the pressure was on him.

Wang Chen frowned.

As a person of considerable influence.

Saying the wrong thing at this time would be very serious.

Wang Chen was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Sir, are you buying this privately or on behalf of someone else?"

The bearded foreigner still had a calm and slightly arrogant expression.

“I represent the Big Y Museum!”

He raised his chin subconsciously.

"Mr. Wang, you don't need to worry too much, you just need to collect the money."

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became depressing.

The museum directors looked unhappy.

The words "Big Y Museum" are a pain in the hearts of Chinese people.

Half of the amazing treasures displayed there came from China.

China has negotiated many times, but ultimately paid a heavy price and only got back a few treasures.

The live broadcast room has exploded.

"Fuck, it turns out to be this rubbish robber!!"

"Don't agree, Lao Wang. We Chinese have backbone!"

"They stole and robbed hundreds of our ships of treasures before. Isn't that enough?"

"But the price they offered was very high..."

"Don't worry, Lao Wang won't let us down!"

Netizens are very angry.

Wang Chen shook his head: "I won't sell it to you."

Compared to these 50 million, reputation is more important.

When drinking from the well, never forget the person who dug the water.

China raised him, and these treasures also belong to China.

The country did not ask him for anything, but instead politely paid for it. He has no reason to turn his back.

Moreover.

If he agreed, how would people in his "hometown" view him?

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wang Chen with more respect.

Netizens also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Wang, I've made up my mind! I'm going to follow you for the rest of my life!"

"I admit that I used to scold you for being disloyal in the live broadcast room, and even tried to cheat on you in the future, but from today on, you are my friend forever!"
