Chapter 1329 Sunset on the Sea
However, despite doubts, Grand Duke Vidi still did not forget his duties. He first praised the painting and said that there was nothing in the sky or on the earth. m then followed Monterey’s instructions and related the auction to the friendship between the Jindu Kingdom and the Octopus Clan, so as to prevent the Octopus Clan from worrying too much.
Finally, Grand Duke Vidi announced the official start of bidding for this sunset at sea, created by Heldenos, with a base price of one million gold coins.
However, unlike other auction items, which were heated up as soon as the bidding was announced, this time the entire venue was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. It was actually quiet!
One million gold coins is indeed not a large amount for these people participating in the auction. Even the person with the weakest financial resources may not take one million gold coins seriously. However, no one is willing to do such a stupid thing to spend one million gold coins to buy a painting.
Those who come here to participate in the auction are all here to buy things that are truly useful to them. As long as it is really useful to them, no matter how high the price is, they will fight for it with all their strength, but for them, that painting really has no use. Although the painting has meanings of one kind or another, those meanings are given to it by others, and to the people attending the auction, those meanings are meaningless. Who would spend a million gold coins to buy something that means nothing to them?
Lin Li, who was sitting in the box, had a look of understanding on his face after seeing the auctioned painting. The Jindu Kingdom's approach was actually very obvious. If Lin Li couldn't see it anymore, he would have been the president for so long. He didn't raise the sign immediately to ask for the price, not because he didn't want the painting, but because he didn't want others to know that he wanted the painting.
Although Lin Li was not short of money, it was naturally the best if he could spend the least amount of money and get what he wanted. He knew very well that if he acted like he was destined to win. Among those who participate in the auction, some will definitely jump out to make trouble for themselves. At least, the giant shark clan member Griner would definitely not mind pushing the price higher in order to avenge the Dark Gold Demonic Dragon Armor being robbed before.
Grand Duke Vidi complained about Bradlow in his heart, but he had to talk about the advantages of that painting over and over again. Although it is very common for an auction to fail, but in an auction like this. If there is an unsuccessful sale, it will definitely have an impact on the auction.
However, a painting is just a painting and cannot be compared with something as high as a mirage bead. Maharaja Vidi racked his brains and described this painting as an unprecedented and unprecedented treasure from the perspective of a work of art. He could not change the fact that it was just a work of art.
It seems like this time it’s really going to be aborted! Grand Duke Vidi thought helplessly. And this failed auction will undoubtedly become a flaw in this auction, and even become a joke in people's mouth.
Faced with such a situation. In the box of Jindu Kingdom, Bradlow and Monterey looked at each other. Didn’t Ferre take a fancy to this painting? Why is it that now that the painting is up for auction, he refuses to take action? It's my own fault. Or maybe the other party thinks the price of one million gold coins is too high.
However, just when Grand Duke Vidi was about to announce that the auction had been rejected after several inquiries, a voice came from the box on the other side of the Octopus clan.
"Two million gold coins!"
In any case, that painting was given to the Jindu Kingdom by the Octopus Clan, and it was also the work of the legendary figure Heldenos of the Octopus Clan. If it failed to sell at this auction, the Octopus Clan would also feel that His face was dull. Therefore, no one bids for the auction. I had to quote a price of two million.
Hearing the bid from the Octopus Clan, Grand Duke Vidi was somewhat relieved. Although there was not such enthusiastic bidding, it was good to avoid losing the bid.
"Three million gold coins!" Lin Li finally took action. Buying a painting with three million gold coins is a bit unbelievable to others. But what Lin Li was interested in was not the so-called art, but the inscription knowledge contained in the painting. If it were not in the form of a painting, but in the form of notes, the notes of Master Inscription Heldenos might not be worth even 30 million gold coins.
Griner of the giant shark clan. I was feeling a little bored at first, and even wanted to see what kind of reaction the Octopus clan would have after the painting failed to be auctioned. But he didn't expect that first the Octopus clan wanted to buy back their own things, and then Feire from the Tower of Twilight actually followed suit.
At this time, Griner suddenly became interested. Let's not talk about other grievances. He was robbed of the dark gold magic dragon armor before, but it also made him feel angry.
Since the other party wants the painting, how can I not cause some trouble to the other party? Although I don't need the painting and I don't know what the painting is for, raising the price so high can be regarded as causing the other party to suffer a lot. Thinking of this, Griner raised his hand to raise the sign.
However, Contoli, who was next to him, stopped Griner and said, "Wait a minute, Master Griner, don't you think this is a little strange?"
"Strange? What's so strange about this!" Griner turned his head and looked at Cantoli, saying with a proud look on his face: "If he wants that painting, I will let him spend ten times or a hundred times more money, otherwise How could you let out such bad breath in your heart?"
Contoli smiled and shook his head, looked at the box opposite, and said lightly: "Don't you think, Mr. Griner, that such a painting of little value appears at such an auction? It’s so weird. If there’s nothing wrong inside, I’m afraid no one would believe it.”
"What, you mean, he just wants to lure me into action?" Griner was not a fool. After being reminded by Contoli, he immediately thought of such a possibility, and even more.
If Feyre from the Tower of Twilight strikes first, I don't mind making things difficult for him, but after Contoli's reminder, now I feel like there's a conspiracy in it! Griner tapped his fingers on the table a few times and couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.
In particular, the two people who are taking action now do not have a good relationship with themselves. Then we have to wonder whether the other party thought that they would cause trouble for them, so they set up such a trap for themselves.
It’s no wonder that Griner thinks this way. There are too many such things at auctions. An item that is originally useless will often be raised to a sky-high price due to some disputes of will, causing someone to accidentally fall into the pit. Of course, this kind of thing. It also involves psychological warfare. If you have a better plan, you might be able to get back.
However, Griner was not good at this, so he looked at Contoli and asked: "So, just give up like this?"
"Give up? No, we can add a little less to test the other party first. See the other party's reaction before making a decision. Maybe we can also let them reap the consequences." Contoli and Lin Li's hatred is not small, and naturally they are not willing to miss such a chance. opportunity, so he gave Griner the idea.
"Three and a half million gold coins!" Griner hesitated for a moment and decided to test it a little.
As soon as Griner finished speaking, Lin Li increased the price again: "Four and a half million gold coins!"
Another million gold coins were added directly, as if he wanted to drag Griner into this rhythm. When people increase the price, it is one million, but here it is increased to half a million. With Griner's arrogance, how could he do such a shameful thing. This will increase the price by one million to one million. In just a few rounds, the price will exceed the tens of millions mark. Ten million gold coins is not much, especially for people with their wealth. But sometimes these tens of millions of gold coins can play a very crucial role.
Griner was about to directly add another million gold coins, but just when he was about to raise the sign in his hand, it suddenly fell down. Although he was impulsive, he was not a fool. Since he had already thought that the other party was setting a trap for him, how could he not be prepared at all? Therefore, he couldn't help but look at Cantoli again and wanted to ask Cantoli's opinion.
Contoli said nothing. Instead, he raised his hand and extended two fingers to signal.
Griner understood it at a glance, so he held up a sign and shouted: "Six and a half million gold coins!"
Contoli asked Griner to increase the price by two million gold coins, just to give Lin Li an illusion and make the other party mistakenly think that they had fallen into a trap. but. It was just a painting, and there wasn’t much room for manipulation, so after Griner quoted the price, he said, “Okay, the other party will bid more. We won’t have to take any more pictures.”
Griner had no objection to Contoli's idea. Anyway, he was not tricked by the opponent. Instead, he tricked the opponent of seven to eight million gold coins, which was a little bit of a bad breath.
Sure enough, just as Contoli and Griner thought, after they reported the price of 6.5 million gold coins, Ferre in the opposite compartment also raised his number plate again. But this time, the other party did not add two million gold coins to him. Instead, as before, he only added one million gold coins and quoted a price of 7.5 million gold coins.
"That's true! Let go of Griner." Contoli clapped his hands and said. The rhythm of one million gold coins is completely different from the rhythm of two million gold coins. There is a very subtle psychological reaction involved. But now, he was sure that the other party just wanted to use this painting to trick Griner, so there was no need to do anything else next.
When it comes to playing this kind of conspiracy, Griner is quite convinced of Kantoli. In other words, in the eyes of the Sea Tribe people, the human race is very cunning and treacherous. Therefore, Griner had no objection to Contoli's judgment. He sat back in his seat, threw the number plate in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's great, it's great, look at that this time Feyre, why are you pretending in front of me? I'm afraid he can't even cry now."
Contoli calculated Lin Li many times, but never gained the upper hand. This time, it was undoubtedly quite memorable for Cantoli. If he had not continued to participate in the auction, he would have wanted to find a place to have a drink.
The Archduke Vidi below, after bidding three times in a row, finally dropped the wooden hammer in his hand, confirming the success and validity of the transaction, and announced: "Three times without a bid, this sunset on the sea in Heldenos is the final possession. This is President Feyre from the Tower of Twilight!"
All of a sudden, everyone at the venue turned their attention to the box where Lin Li was. They couldn't understand why anyone would spend more than seven million gold coins to buy a painting. Perhaps at this moment, Lin Li was already equated with a madman and a fool in everyone's hearts.
However, Lin Li, who got the painting, didn't even bother to pay attention to it. Just kidding, this painting is a note left by an inscription master who is not inferior to myself. Not to mention more than 7 million gold coins, even 70 million gold coins are worth spending. For Lin Li, this was definitely a treasure, so there was nothing to be dissatisfied about.
At this moment, the box door was knocked again, and Prince Monterey personally delivered the painting. After completing the transaction, Prince Monterey did not leave immediately, but asked tentatively: "President Ferre, this painting belongs to you now. But I am curious. If you mind, I wonder if you can tell me. What is it about this painting that attracts you so much?"
It has been spread outside that the reason why Lin Li bought this painting was because he failed to make a good calculation and was tricked by the other party. However, Prince Monterey knew that Lin Li had been interested in this painting for a long time, and naturally he would not believe the rumors.
Lin Li didn't hide it at all, UU Reading www.uukanshu. After net put the painting away, he said to Prince Monterey: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Prince Monterey. In fact, this painting is of little use to ordinary people. However, in the exhibition hall before, I From this painting, we can see some knowledge in the field of inscriptions. This painting is like the inscription notes of Heldenos, which records all his fields and experiences in the field of inscriptions. But these things, ordinary people It can’t be seen.”
Lin Li was telling the truth, but Prince Monterey didn't really believe it. It's just a painting, how could it have become some kind of inscription note? If it's really that magical, there are many powerful people in the field of inscriptions in the Octopus clan. How could they not see it and instead give the painting as a diplomatic gift? Woolen cloth.
However, that was all Lin Li said, and Prince Monterey couldn't ask any further questions. He could only shake his head and said dryly: "Congratulations to President Ferre. The auction is not over yet, so I won't interrupt."
Although Prince Monterey did not deliberately spread the word, Lin Li's explanation quickly spread in the venue. However, in everyone's opinion, Lin Li's explanation was simply made up by a stubborn duck for the sake of face. RQ
