Chapter 0053: What is a local tyrant?

There was once a rich man who bought eight out-of-print stamps at an auction. Everyone thought he would keep these eight stamps well. However, he made a move that shocked everyone at the auction. He burned them on the spot.

Of the seven, only one remains.

On the next day alone, the price of this stamp exceeded the combined value of the eight stamps. A year later, it doubled again. By the time the rich man passed the stamp to his son, the stamp's value had doubled to ten times its original value.

This incident tells us that if you want something to increase its value, you need uniqueness.

"Taishan Sunburst" has never appeared on the market before, and now it has such flaws that it will be impossible to copy it in the future.

As soon as this painting was taken out, many people were eager to try it. Good things like this don't come around very often. When the auctioneer called out the reserve price of 2 million, people immediately increased their bids.

"They didn't even check whether the painting was real or fake, so they just bid? Is there too much money and no place to spend it?" Looking at the rising price, Mercury was completely convinced. The minds of these rich people are really unpredictable.

Through!

"Everything sold here is genuine." Wang Meng answered firmly.

The price reached 3 million in the blink of an eye, and it was still rising. In less than five minutes, it had exceeded 6 million. At this time, the speed slowly slowed down. Some small wealthy people had been squeezed out of the competition.

.

Although the speed is slow, it is still an upward trend. It is as if this painting does not cost money, and the bids continue.

Mercury looked at the people who were still bidding, and they all looked like they were exhausted and determined not to give up until they got the painting. What would these people's expressions be like if the painting was fake?

You know, even if Wang Meng made a fake, it has reached the point where the fake is mistaken for the real one. Even if Zhang Daqian came here himself, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize whether it was painted by him. How can you say that such a painting is a fake?

After the price climbed to 11 million, only two people were left bidding. Coincidentally, they were sitting at the same table, and neither of them wanted to let go.

The arrows and crossbows were fired at close range, and the two people's fighting spirit became even stronger. If this was not an auction house, I'm afraid the two of them could have a live PK.

In the end, he was defeated by one person. In the end, "Taishan Mountain Penetrating the Sun" was sold for 16 million, which surprised Mercury. Especially when she saw the rich man holding the painting excitedly and being speechless with excitement, she felt even more excited.

It feels like the world has gone crazy.

He easily obtained 16 million. Even Mercury felt excited about such a high value. But Wang Meng's expression was very calm, as if the money had nothing to do with him.

This kind of money-making speed cannot be compared with even robbery! Now Mercury seems to understand why Wang Meng is just a teacher, but he can live in the same community as her. Wang Meng can make money just by moving his hands, and it doesn't cost any money.

No matter how strong you are, there are only certain risks. Once someone finds out the truth, your life may be lost.

"Hey, stop pretending. You've made so much money and you're still pretending to be serious." Mercury poked Wang Meng's arm with her hand. She didn't believe that Wang Meng didn't feel anything at all.

Wang Meng really has no desire for money at all. As long as he wants to make money, there are so many ways to get money. And now he has whatever he wants, and money is of no use to him. It is just a number.

"Okay, let's go backstage!" Wang Meng smiled, stood up and left first, without explaining too much to Mercury.

"You should wait for me!" Mercury quickly stood up and followed.

Arriving backstage, Wang Meng found Hong Lie, the manager in charge of the auction house.

"Mr. Wang, your things will bring huge benefits to the auction house every time. Thank you very much for trusting us and letting us auction this painting." As soon as he saw Wang Meng, Hong Lie walked away from behind the desk.

Come out and ask Wang Meng to sit down.

The auction house will take 10% of the proceeds from each auction item as a fee. Therefore, Wang Meng's value is perfectly reflected. Not only that, Wang Meng spends a lot of money every year looking for things. It can be said that

, Wang Meng is definitely a VVIP at the auction house, a top-notch existence.

"You're welcome, Manager Hong. Is there any news about the matter?" Wang Meng didn't care when the money from the auction of paintings would be received. What he cared about was whether there was any news about the matter he wanted to know.

Hong Lie nodded and said: "I have already reported to the superiors about the matters you mentioned last time. The boss has agreed. This has seriously violated the company's regulations, so Mr. Wang must keep it secret for us."

Wang Meng nodded. After seeing the heart-shaped jade pendant last time, he contacted the auction house, hoping to find the seller. See if he could find some information about Wang Jian's sword. Although the sword and the jade pendant were completely unrelated, Wang Meng didn't want to

Let go of any clues. However, the auction house has rules and clients' secrets must not be revealed.

Of course, these rules are made for certain people. If you take them too seriously, you will really lose.

"The information about the person selling the jade pendant is here. We can only help so far, the rest is up to Mr. Wang himself." Hong Lie handed Wang Meng a note he had written long ago.

The person who sold the jade pendant was just an ordinary person, so there was nothing difficult about giving the information to Wang Meng. The reason why Hong Lie said that just now was just to sell a favor to Wang Meng.

"Thank you. I also want to entrust you to find some medicinal materials. They are all on this piece of paper. Call me when you find them."

Hong Lie took a look at the list Wang Meng opened. There were several rare medicinal materials on it.

"These medicinal materials are really hard to find. I'm afraid they are a bit more expensive."

"The price of that painting should be enough, right?"

"That's enough, that's enough. We don't need that much." Hong Lie's face was immediately filled with a smile. After excluding their commission on the painting, there was still more than 10 million left.

"Just store the rest here first."

"Okay, I'll send someone to look for it right away. I'll notify you as soon as I find it." Hong Lie said with a smile. It can be said to be a bumper harvest tonight. If there are more customers like Wang Meng, what else can I ask for?

!

Mercury said nothing, but her heart was tumbling! By the way, just now she thought those people outside were rich people, but now that she thinks about it, she has never seen the world! Those rich people outside are just scum in front of Wang Meng.

!Look at people, they just asked people to help find a few medicinal materials, and they threw in more than 10 million.

When Wang Meng and Mercury entered the door, Hong Lie never asked who Mercury was. Until the two left, Hong Lie didn't say anything. However, his subordinates in the office were full of curiosity.

"Master Hong, Wang Meng comes alone every time. Isn't it a little strange that he brought someone here this time?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say. Wang Meng is our God of Wealth, don't provoke him unless necessary." Hong Lie warned.

As a martial arts master living in the secular world, he is the pinnacle of the underground auction house. He can tell the depth of each person at a glance when meeting countless people, but when he faced Wang Meng, he could not tell anything. This

That was the real reason why his men were not allowed to investigate Wang Meng.
