Chapter 1270 Beware of Fire
The auction took place in a shopping mall. Although half of the buildings in the shopping mall were destroyed, half of the buildings were still intact, enough to hold a small auction.
There were more people than Yang Yi imagined. Although they were mainly people from Ace Ace, there were at least twenty buyers, which was not a small number.
And these people are all capable. They don't come here just to buy one or two collections to take home. They come here to pack up many, many good things and take them home.
One thing that all the buyers have in common is that they all cover their faces with scarves and wear sunglasses without even exposing their eyes.
In the unrecognizable situation, Yang Yi would definitely not be able to identify Tarta.
The items to be bid are the items contained in each suitcase.
The suitcases ranged from big to small. It was obvious that these suitcases were snatched from ordinary people and then used to contain the stolen goods that Ace had snatched.
"The things sold at this auction belong to all Ace Aces first. No matter how much they are sold, they will be used by all Ace Aces. But in the final analysis, they belong to Badadi and some senior executives. Then wait. After the auction ends, many people will come over and trade privately. Many people have grabbed valuable items, but they lack a place to sell them, so every time this time comes, someone will come to trade."
Azar explained to Yang Yi in a low voice, but Yang Yi said in surprise: "Even if they know that the people below have grabbed good things, well, the people above don't care?"
Azar smiled and said: "No matter what, I have to give some benefits to the people below."
Yang Yi nodded. At this time, the person who brought them walked forward and said a few words to a person who looked like a leader. Then he pointed at Azar. The person who seemed to be the host looked towards Azar. Zar nodded and then made a gesture.
Azar whispered: "We can go and see what's in those boxes first. The things in these boxes will not be sold in pieces. If you want to buy them, you only need one box. Well, they are mainly gold jewelry, famous watches, some antiques, or Any valuable and precious things, but others cannot turn them over at will, only we can, this is our privilege."
Yang Yi nodded, and he and Azar walked to the first box.
There were eight boxes in total, of different sizes. Yang Yi squatted in front of the first box and began to turn over the contents of the box under the gaze of a man with a gun.
There were silver knives and forks, gold rings, gold necklaces, and a gold headdress that looked very chronological. Azar whispered from the side: "This looks like an antique."
Brian whispered: "It is an antique. It has strong characteristics of the Umayyad Dynasty. Judging from the craftsmanship of the gem inlay, it must be an antique."
Yang Yi and Azar both looked at Brian in surprise, and then they didn't say anything. Yang Yi continued to flip through the fragmentary jewelry until he saw a finger.
The finger was very thick, and the ring on it was too small to take off, so the person who grabbed the ring cut off the finger and kept it as a trophy.
Yang Yi stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the second box.
There were no gems in the box, nor anything similar to the picture Aaron sent.
The privileges of Yang Yi and Azar made other buyers very dissatisfied. Some people made some commotion. At this time, someone loudly said: "Either no one is allowed to see it, or everyone can see it. We are participating in a hidden bidding." , if you wantonly break the rules like this, then I would rather not participate in this auction!"
Yang Yi was a little surprised that someone dared to say that on Ace's territory, but Azar whispered from the side: "Don't worry about him, I know who this guy is."
"who is he?"
"A Frenchman, Victor Jean Pierre, is an antique dealer. Most of the antiques that Ace grabbed were bought by him, so this guy is still very valued by Ace."
Yang Yi shrugged and said: "The French really like to plunder other people's cultural relics. I want to ask, are there any British people?"
"Of course there is, I just can't see it now, but I know there are, the French and the British, they are the most active here."
As expected, Yang Yizheng was about to say something, but then the auction host came over, and then he said to Azar: "Sorry, I can't let you watch anymore."
Yang Yi clapped his hands and stood up. At this time, the host immediately said loudly: "Okay, the auction will start now. The first lot is this box. The price is $50,000. Is anyone bidding?"
Everyone looked at Yang Yi because he had just checked the box.
Yang Yi raised his hand without hesitation, and while walking out, he said: "Well, it's actually not cost-effective."
Azar also whispered: "No one here is a fool, it is more cost-effective to buy a single item, but there are too many buyers here today, there may be competition, but you will understand later, there must be Harvested."
The box quickly rose to $85,000, and was then bought by a man. At this moment, the Frenchman loudly said again: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Can I start with the sculpture?"
Big buyers get preferential treatment. The host immediately said: "Okay, let's come here first. These are all from the museum. You can freely set the price. The one with the highest price will get it."
Yang Yi followed the crowd to the side, and then he discovered that many things in the Mosul Museum that had been destroyed by Ace had been moved here.
The Frenchman stood in front of a relief cut from the wall or somewhere. The content of the relief was a statue of a warrior. After taking a closer look, the Victor immediately said: "I will pay $50,000."
There was no competition at all, and what was originally a priceless treasure in human history fell into Victor's hands.
Victor couldn't wait to get closer to check the relief that already belonged to him. He put his hand on it, but before he could speak, the relief that was leaning on the wooden frame fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Victor turned his head in astonishment, and then he said loudly: "What's going on? Can't you make the shelf stronger?"
Yang Yi couldn't help but said: "Although this relief may be burned even if you take it back, please be careful."
Victor immediately said to Yang Yi: "What did you say?"
Yang Yi coughed lightly and said: "I said, based on your level of preserving cultural relics, even if you move all the treasures here, they may be burned, so be careful."
Victor was extremely dissatisfied and said: "Why do you say that?"
Yang Yi smiled and said: "I don't know why, but I just want to remind you to be careful about fires. Well, you don't have to worry about these details. Please continue."
Please give me a monthly pass.
Also, you don’t have to worry about the details, you know.
Also, I think someone set the fire on fire, well, that's it.
