Chapter 114: Dragon Country's Cultural Relics, Not a Single One Can Be Missing
"Over one trillion, and you're talking about it like it's over ten thousand. I'm convinced by you." After Yu Pianpian and Lin Yaoyao finished speaking, they sighed softly, "Poverty ultimately limits my imagination!"
"The unyielding spirit ingrained in the bones of us Dragon people means that we are destined to accomplish whatever we want to do." Lin Yaoyao spoke with powerful voice and a matter-of-fact look on her face.
Yu Pianpian was stunned.
The kind of confusion that leaves you speechless.
Finally, it’s Ji Xianger.
"That's the richest man in Asia, and you call it a small goal? If you don't understand, then ask: So, what is the big goal?"
Lin Yaoyao met Ji Xianger's gaze, her red lips moved slightly, and she said four words: "The richest man in the world!"
No fancy embellishments.
There is no piling up of words.
There is no superfluous elaboration.
It’s just four simple, easy-to-understand and straightforward words: the world’s richest man!
Yu Pianpian, Zhang Ziyi, and Ji Xiang'er were so surprised by Lin Yaoyao's words "world's richest man" that their mouths opened wide, almost enough to fit an egg.
Lin Yaoyao pretended not to see it and said to herself with great pride, "You don't have to look at me in such surprise. As the saying goes, a billionaire who doesn't want to be the world's richest woman is not a good billionaire. I, Lin Yaoyao, want to challenge difficult things. Only by succeeding in the challenge can I prove how strong I am."
After she finished speaking, she patted the three of them on the shoulders and said, "When I become the richest man in the world, you will be the richest man's women. Isn't that awesome?"
Yu Pianpian: "..."
I know it's a big deal, but I'm already starting to feel good...
Zhang Ziyi: “!!!”
Am I crazy? I think this huge pancake is delicious!
Ji Xianger: “???”
I must be crazy. I actually think that it is unjust that Yaoyao cannot become the richest person in the world. What does that mean?
They were silent, immersed in their own thoughts. Lin Yaoyao took out the invitations and stuffed one into each of their hands. "The auction will start in two hours. Sisters, are you sure you don't want to tidy up?"
The auction meant nothing to Zhang Ziyi and Ji Xiang'er, but it was of great significance to Pian Pian. She came back to her senses, glanced at the time on the invitation, and slammed her thigh. "I'm representing my Great Dragon Country tonight, I must dress up!"
"Yes, I have to contact the hotel and arrange for a makeup artist to come to my house and do my queen-like makeup for me."
Two minutes later.
After contacting the hotel front desk and making an appointment with a makeup artist, Yu Pianpian carefully examined the faces of Lin Yaoyao, Zhang Ziyi, and Ji Xianger and suggested, "You should also put on some makeup. Tonight we are the face of our Great Dragon Nation, and we must put those shameless thieves to shame."
Listening to Yu Pianpian's words, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly, and asked her: "Pianpian, let's just say, they are shameless thieves, will they really feel ashamed of themselves?"
Ji Xianger: "Yeah~ If they could feel ashamed of themselves, they probably wouldn't do such a disgusting thing as auctioning off other people's things."
Lin Yaoyao knew very well how much Yu Pianpian cared about this Dragon Country Cultural Relics Auction.
So, even though Zhang Ziyi and Ji Xianger were both right, Lin Yaoyao still chose to support Yu Pianpian, "Everyone put on makeup together, queen sister makeup, full of face."
"Yaoyao, are you really painting?" Zhang Ziyi looked shocked.
"Wouldn't that be too exaggerated?" Ji Xiang'er also looked worried. "What if people gather around and watch?"
Lin Yaoyao was about to respond when Yu Pianpian took the lead: "Sisters, there are four of us, so we won't be alone if we are watched."
...
The hotel arranged an appointment for Yu Pianpian with a very good makeup artist, and the visit fee was 20 euros, and the makeup was charged separately.
It’s just a pity that he couldn’t get the essence of the queen’s makeup they wanted.
Because of this, Yu Pianpian was very disappointed.
Fortunately, Lin Yaoyao had an idea. She found a picture online of the only female emperor in Dragon Kingdom's history on the day she ascended the throne and showed it to the makeup artist. She then instructed him in fluent English, "Just make it look like her."
"Is this a still from a TV series in your Long country?" the makeup artist asked Lin Yaoyao in surprise.
Lin Yaoyao nodded, "Yeah, yes."
The makeup artist then asked, "A woman wearing a dragon robe looks so majestic. What TV show is this from?"
Lin Yaoyao smiled and continued to answer the makeup artist, "The Secret History of Empress Wu Zetian. It is adapted from the true history of our Dragon Kingdom and tells the life story of the first female emperor in Dragon Kingdom history."
"There was actually a empress in the history of Dragon Country?" The makeup artist looked shocked.
Lin Yaoyao: "Our Dragon Kingdom has a long history, with a cultural heritage of five thousand years. We have not only empresses, but also many famous women in history. Fu Hao, the first female general; Hua Mulan, who joined the army for her father; Qin Liangyu, who was appointed prime minister and made a marquis..."
"........."
By the time Lin Yaoyao finished, the makeup artist's expression could only be described as dumbfounded. He was stunned for half a minute before regaining his composure and sighing softly, "No wonder collectors around the world are so drawn to Dragon Country's artifacts."
...
The venue for the auction was right next to the hotel where Lin Yaoyao and the others were staying.
That is to say, they were close. If they were farther away, it would definitely be too late for the four of them to put on makeup and clothes and go over there.
This auction of Dragon Kingdom cultural relics has been prepared for many years by relevant departments in Europe and the United States. According to the host, there are a total of 24 items in this auction, all of which are unique pieces that cannot be found anywhere in the world.
The host emphasized the word "unique"!
Yu Pianpian's face turned red with anger after hearing this, and she cursed in a low voice: "Shameless. So shameless."
Lin Yaoyao was frightened when she heard the sound. She quickly reached out to cover Yu Pianpian's mouth and warned her in a low voice, "This is someone else's territory, please keep a low profile."
Yu Pianpian certainly knew that European and American countries were very chaotic and people could become missing persons if they disagreed with something, but she really couldn't help it!
These people are really more disgusting than robbers.
Not only did he steal other people's things, but he also had no restraint and spread the news wantonly. He should be killed by everyone!
With her mouth covered and unable to speak, Yu Pianpian could only respond to Lin Yaoyao with her eyes.
Lin Yaoyao didn't know whether she understood or not, but she continued to warn Yu Pianpian in a deep voice, "If you still want to take the cultural relics back to China and hand them over to the country, then be honest."
Yu Pianpian was so angry that she cried after hearing Lin Yaoyao's repeated warnings.
Her tears fell, dripping onto Lin Yaoyao's hand, burning her.
After sighing leisurely, Lin Yaoyao murmured softly, "Pianpian, the women of our Dragon Country are all able to bend and stretch, and you can't be an exception!"
"I'm taking my hand back now. Please stop talking. Just think of it as a gift for the cultural relics, okay?"
Yu Pianpian blinked her eyes, which was considered as her agreement.
Lin Yaoyao then withdrew her hand and said meaningfully, "24 cultural relics, not a single one can be missing."
Zhang Ziyi and Ji Xiang'er's hearts were in their throats because of Yu Pianpian's words.
Well, I was afraid that the auction staff would hear it, so I took them away in anger and dealt with them secretly.
Fortunately... it was a false alarm.
"These 24 artifacts must be very expensive," Zhang Ziyi muttered, then asked Lin Yaoyao seriously, "Yaoyao, have you really thought it through?"
Originally, Lin Yaoyao had no plans to take back all the cultural relics because that would really require too much money.
But when the host introduced the product, he emphasized the word "unique piece", and Yu Pianpian's words just now helped her make up her mind.
Zhang Ziyi asked, and Lin Yaoyao replied: "24 cultural relics, not one can be missing!"
They are all treasures belonging to the Dragon Kingdom, and no matter what the cost, they must return to the embrace of the motherland.
As for money...money is something outside of one's body.
There are so many things in this world that are far more important than money.
"The auction has officially begun! Next, please present our first lot today: the Dragon Kingdom Blue and White Glaze Teacup. Starting price: 100 million euros."
As soon as the host finished speaking, a woman wearing a traditional Dragon Country cheongsam pushed an obviously expensive booth to the center of the stage and lifted the silk cloth in full view of everyone.
Under the light, the Longguo blue and white glazed cup, which was placed in a transparent, specially made box for preserving cultural relics and had been preserved for many years, was breathtakingly beautiful.
There were more than 200 people in the entire auction venue.
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone held their breath.
I don't know how long it took before they gradually came back to their senses, and discussions broke out:
“This is so beautiful.”
"I only know that Dragon Country's blue and white porcelain is famous, but I didn't know that combining it with colored glaze to create a blue and white colored glaze cup is even more stunning worldwide!"
"Hahaha, I'm determined to get this blue and white glass cup. Don't try to snatch it from me, or else don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Mais, stop being ridiculous. You're talking as if your little bit of kindness in front of the blue and white glass cup is of no use to anyone."
"It seems Childe is also interested. Look at his eyes, he's almost staring at that blue and white glass cup."
"If you ask me, who among those present wouldn't want to own it? So, stop talking nonsense and just rely on your own abilities."
"I heard that this auction is anonymous. No one will know who bid until the transaction is completed..."
"Isn't that perfect? It avoids a series of troubles caused by being too familiar with each other."
"..."
At the same time, the first person to bid for the blue and white glass lamp appeared, and the price on the screen changed from 100 million euros to 150 million euros.
Seeing the price changes, how could those who were just discussing enthusiastically still be in the mood to discuss?
They all fell silent and joined this war without gunpowder!
For a while, the prices on the screen kept rising, rising, and rising...
200 million euros.
300 million euros.
800 million euros.
1000 million euros...
……
.........
5000 million euros.
When the price stopped at 5000 million euros, the host held the microphone and spoke, "5000 million euros for the first time. 5000 million euros for the second time. 5000 million..."
Just as the host was about to say it for the third time, suddenly, the price on the screen changed again.
This time it was Lin Yaoyao who added it.
Her bid: 5001 million euros!
Yes, she added 1.
"What kind of operation is this? Adding 1 yuan? Are you crazy?"
"This is outrageous. How could such a clueless person join an auction of this level?"
"Let me know who it is, and I'll give him a good scolding."
"..."
"........."
Amidst the crowd's cursing, someone added another 100 million, and the price on the screen became 5101 million euros.
Yu Pianpian sat closest to Lin Yaoyao, and she was certain that the 1 yuan just now was added by Lin Yaoyao.
But...why?
Can't you add more?
"Yaoyao, you..."
Knowing what Yu Pianpian was going to say, Lin Yaoyao patted the back of her hand before she finished speaking, "This is just my plan, don't worry."
After talking to Yu Pianpian one second ago, Lin Yaoyao raised the price by another 1 euros the next second.
moment.
The whole place was in an uproar!
Ji Xiang'er and Zhang Ziyi clenched their hands, and cold sweat began to appear on their palms.
Yu Pianpian also held her breath and prayed in her heart over and over again: Don't let anyone know that it was Yaoyao who added the 1 yuan.
As expected, the amount of 5102 euros was increased to 5502 euros.
The other party is thinking: "You can only add in increments of ten thousand, you must be broke. I'll add more and see how you react."
Little did she know that this was also within Lin Yaoyao's expectations.
She curled the corners of her lips and raised the price by ten thousand.
5503 million euros, which seems particularly ironic on the screen.
Who among those who came to participate in this auction of Dragon Kingdom cultural relics was not a powerful figure from various countries? 1... it was simply ridiculous.
Gradually, some people began to curse louder and louder.
But what they kept saying was nothing more than "Don't pretend if you don't have money", "It's embarrassing", "It lowers the level of the entire auction" and so on.
Orn Weiss also attended the auction.
While most people were cursing, he caught a glimpse of a smile on Lin Yaoyao's lips out of the corner of his eye.
Suddenly, he had a bold guess: the one who raised the price by 1 yuan and caused everyone's dissatisfaction was Lin Yaoyao.
Shocked?
of course.
Don't you understand?
of course.
But she was Lin Yaoyao, the woman he had only seen once and fallen in love with. No matter how outrageous her actions were, Orn Weiss couldn't bear to watch her being scolded.
He cleared his throat and asked the host in a loud, resounding voice, "Increasing the price by 1 yuan, is that against the rules?"
Who among those present didn't know Orn Weiss?
His Weiss family is the organizer of this auction.
After he spoke, the cursing voices naturally disappeared.
The host held the microphone and hesitated for a few seconds before responding in a resounding voice: "It does not violate the rules!"
Orn Weiss nodded. "Since it doesn't violate the rules, then whether they raise the price by 100 or 1 million is their freedom. It shouldn't be a reason for you to attack or humiliate them without reason."
As the saying goes: A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
As the saying goes: One more enemy is worse than one more friend.
Now that Orn Weiss has said this, who would deny him face for such a small matter?
In an instant, everyone's attention shifted to the price increase.
Humph.
You want to add 1, right?
Then we will add millions and millions and see how long you can last.
In just two or three minutes, the price of the Longguo Blue and White Glass Lamp soared from over 5000 million euros to 9817 million euros... This far exceeded its original value!
