Chapter 430 VIP Box No. 001! Sky-high price antiques [2 updates]


    ?The black and gold card shines in the sun, with the World Bank’s unique logo on it—


    A towering tree with lush branches.


    ??The prototype of this tree is the tree in the center of the world that is tens of feet high. It is located in the very center of this continent and is also called the "World Tree".


    Like the Tower of Babel, they are both names derived from ancient mythology.


    In the Global Center, many landmarks use this similar naming method.


    ??Although Farouk is obsessed with forging and barely communicates with others, he is not completely ignorant of the outside world.


    ??It is of course impossible for him not to recognize the classic logo of the World Bank.


    "Miss Ye, this card..." Faruk was stunned for a moment and took out a black card from his wallet.


    Other than size, there is nothing similar between the two cards.


    ??The World Bank has announced various levels of bank cards, but he has never seen the card in Ye Banglan''s hand.


    Isn’t it a bank card issued by the World Bank?


    Looking around the world, who dares to use the World Bank logo?


    "Miss, we don''t accept bank cards at the entrance." The waiter said politely, "Bank cards will not be used until the auction is over."


    There was laughter all around, some guests turned their heads, and their playful eyes turned on the girl, with a bit of contempt and disdain.


    Farooq lowered his voice: "Miss Ye, although the World Bank is open all over the world, the bank card only has the function of a bank card and cannot upgrade our box to a VIP box, and VIP boxes cannot be bought with money. ”


    ? To enter the VIP box, except for the powerful, you can only qualify if you spend 10 billion at a time in the auction.


    “What happened?” The manager came over and glanced at the people gathered at the door with a frown.


    ??The waiter told the story: "This lady has a bank card and wants a VIP box."


    ??The manager''s brows furrowed even more tightly, and just when he was about to say something, his cell phone rang suddenly.


    He immediately turned around and picked up the phone: "Hello, hello."


    ?The other person didn’t know what was said, but the manager’s expression immediately changed.


    "Understood! I''ll make arrangements right now!" After the call ended, the manager took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said respectfully to Ye Banglan, "Miss, please, VIP box No. 001 has been opened for you. and your friends can jump right in."


    ?Ye Puanlan took back the black gold card and nodded slightly towards Faruk: "Let''s go."


    Farouk was confused and followed blankly.


    Could it be said that bank cards really have such a function?


    "Boss, they..." the waiter was puzzled, "How can they go to box 001?"


    “Stupid, what do you know?” the manager yelled angrily, “Miss Christine’s friend can’t enter Box 1 anymore?”


    ??The World Bank is the sponsor of the Universal Auction, and Christine Constance, the president of the World Bank, is the biggest consumer.


    ? No matter where the auction is held at Global Auction, Box 001 will be reserved for Christine, even if she herself will not be present.


    ??The manager took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head. Fortunately, the call was made in time, otherwise Miss Christine''s friend would be kicked out and he would not be able to keep his job.


    **


    ??Ye Yue turned the tide, and Faruk also experienced what the top VIP service is along the way.


    Even he didn’t expect that he could directly enter VIP Box No. 001.


    There are two eye-catching signs on the door of the box, representing the World Bank and the Group of Nations respectively.


    These two top powers in the global center are also sponsors of this auction.


    ??This is also the first time that Farooq has participated in an auction in a VIP box.


    "Miss Ye..." Faruk held it in for a while, but finally couldn''t hold it back, "Miss Estelle said that you are all members of the same group. Who else are there in your group...?"


    Those who can be in the same group as Estelle Rubenstein, CTO of IWC, are unlikely to be ordinary people.


    Hearing this, Ye Banlan raised his eyebrows: "You are so curious. Don''t you know that there is an old saying in China called ''Curiosity will kill the cat''?"


    ?Farouk immediately shut up.


    ?His nearly two-meter-long body was huddled in the chair, trying hard to reduce his presence.


    ： I came in, thanks to a friend, and I was in box No. 1.


    【Yan Tingfeng】：I am opposite you, Xiaowan.


    ?At night, the curtains were raised, and directly opposite the No. 1 box was the No. 7 box.


    Yan Tingfeng put on a mask and stood behind the curtain. When he saw her looking over, he winked at her with a bit of a smile in his eyes.


    Their eyes met, and Ye Tingfeng couldn''t help but be startled, because Yan Tingfeng''s current attire... looked very much like the Master of Shenxiao Tower she had seen in the historical review.


    It’s not the similarity in appearance, but the charm.


    ??Such a similar charm made Yan Tingfeng stand in front of her wearing a mask, and she would be reminded of the mysterious martial arts supreme Master Shenxiao for no reason. But... even if the master of Shenxiao Tower has unparalleled martial arts skills, it is impossible for him to live for such a long time. Three hundred years have passed and he has already surpassed the physical limits of human beings.


    Furthermore, it is impossible to be so young.


    ?Ye Banglan withdrew his gaze, returned to his seat, and fell into deep thought.


    There is something else that she has overlooked...


    ?Faruk watched the first half of the auction with trepidation. There were many rare items, and they all fetched very high prices.


    But it was obvious that the guests in the VIP box did not bid much and were still waiting for the next lot.


    After the second half, all the individual guests and guests in the ordinary boxes in the lobby on the first floor were invited out.


    The heavy door closed, and the atmosphere of the auction suddenly became much more solemn.


    The first auction item in the second half is a cultural relic from China—


    ??Glazed bricks with phoenix pattern.


    ?Ye Banglan raised his head and looked at the glazed tiles with phoenix pattern on display.


    "Dear guests, please take a look, this is an antique from China, a glazed brick with a phoenix pattern that was unearthed in 1420." The auctioneer introduced, "This brick is 18 meters long and 6 meters wide. There are a total of ninety-nine phoenixes on it. , lifelike and truly a work of wonder.”


    There were exclamations on the field.


    Ye Turning the Waves listened quietly.


    ?Of course she knew about this phoenix pattern glazed brick, she had even touched it with her own eyes.


    ?But the glazed tiles with phoenix patterns that appeared in front of her now were broken, and the ninety-nine phoenixes seemed to have lost their vitality and were dying.


    "But because it was too big, it was difficult to transport back then, so when we took it away, we divided it into eight pieces." The auctioneer regretted, "With today''s technology, it is not enough to completely repair this phoenix pattern glazed brick. , can only piece it together temporarily.”


    “Click!”


    ??The handle of the chair was crushed to pieces, and the splintered wood fell to the ground.


    Seeing this scene, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on Faruk''s forehead. He hurriedly said: "Miss Ye, calm down, please calm down."


    ?Ye Turnan blew the ash on his hand, his voice was calm and there was no fluctuation in his tone: "I''m very calm."


    Farooq: “…!”


    He once again had a new appreciation for the term "calm madman".


    Looking very calm, he always felt that a killing was about to begin.


    "These robbers deserve to die!" Xie Linyuan''s eyes overflowed with murderous intent, "If I were still here, I would never let them do anything!"


    ?Ye Banlan closed his eyes and whispered: "Elder brother, when I was first born in this life, I couldn''t walk, and I was no different from an ordinary baby."


    This was the first time she mentioned her birth, and Xie Linyuan listened quietly.


    “At that time, I only knew that it was no longer the Ning Dynasty, but I still had no way of knowing what happened in the Ning Dynasty.” Ye Banlan continued, “Until I could finally pick up the history books and read them alone.”


    Before she opened the history books again, she had never thought of such a tragic era.


    Every day after that, she would read this page again and again, just to remember it.


    Because I really dare not forget it for a moment.


    For a while, every time she closed her eyes, there was dripping blood in front of her eyes, and there were endless cries in her ears.


    She heard many people saying—


    It hurts so much.


    As someone who had personally experienced that war, Xie Linyuan didn’t know this kind of pain. He sighed softly: "Little junior sister..."


    The voice of the auctioneer came: "Fengwen glazed bricks, the starting price is 2.5 billion, and each increase in price must not be less than 10 million, let''s start!"


    Soon someone bid: "Twenty-five and a half billion!"


    “Twenty-six billion!”


    “I will pay 2.8 billion!”


    …


    In less than a few minutes, the price of phoenix pattern glazed bricks has soared to 4 billion.


    “VIP No. 12 bids four billion!” the auctioneer said excitedly, “Four billion, is there a higher price?!”


    After all, the phoenix pattern glazed brick is not a complete piece, and it is impossible to fetch a higher price.


    “Four billion twice!” The auctioneer dropped the hammer again.


    Thanks for the votes, see you tomorrow~~
