Chapter 812 I Am Lucky if I Get It, but I Am Happier if I Lose It

"Tap Tat Tat ~~"

Stepping on the marble floor for shopping, Konstantin's leather shoes made a crisp sound, and he walked to the flashing gate.

"Squeal!"

The tall wooden door was pushed open, and Constantine walked in, and walked to a luxurious and artistic office. Behind the desk, an old man with white hair was sitting there, looking up at Constantine.

"Your Excellency Chairman!"

Constantine saluted respectfully.

The white-haired old man said softly, "The Charlotte Auction House is going to auction items from Himiko and the remains of another legendary god in Japan. Have you heard about this?"

"yes."

"The last operation to explore Himiko's reincarnation power failed, Constantine, it was your mistake, now you go and buy that skeleton back and give it to the research institute to see if you can gain anything," said the old man.

"We can take them over," Constantine said with his lips pursed.

"For problems that can be solved with money, don't use other forces. Well, go ahead and don't fail this time." The old man said in an orderly tone.

"I heard that the Japanese government has contacted the Prime Minister to prevent this auction." Constantine said.

"I have already called Blair. He will not stop this auction, and using power to stop free trade is not in line with the rules, and it is likely to cause more trouble. As for Japan, their government also It’s just a statement to deal with the people, and I won’t take any drastic actions.” The white-haired old man said.

"I understand. I must bring those things back. If there is nothing else, then I will leave." Constantine bowed and said.

At this moment, the old man suddenly said, "Konstantin, do well, as long as you contribute enough to the organization, one day you will enter the Presbyterian Council."

"Yes Chairman, I understand."

When Constantine walked out of the castle, a few lights flashed in his eyes. With the ability of the Holy Trinity, he naturally knew that the Charlotte Auction House was the property of the Crawford family. Last time Laura went to Yamatai Island and came back Afterwards, Charlotte's Auction House auctioned off these items that clearly belonged to Queen Himiko.

Through this, Constantine can be sure that the failure of Vogel and the mercenaries to find the reincarnation of Himiko Queen's mission failed, and Laura should be inseparable.

Today the chairman personally called him and told him to buy the antiques of Queen Himiko sold by the Laura family. In fact, there are two meanings. One is to express dissatisfaction with his failed mission, and to complete the failed mission by himself and get back those treasures. The second is to warn him not to entangle with the Crawford family anymore, let alone take tough measures.

Now Laura is the eleventh heir of the Crawford family, the real British noblewoman Countess.

The Holy Trinity is a mysterious organization that pursues strength and longevity, but it is also an out-and-out aristocratic organization. Laura's father had joined this organization at the beginning, but later withdrew due to disagreements.

Like this kind of mysterious organization, being able to join and quit at will, and being able to survive, can explain the problem in itself. The identity of Laura's father played a decisive role. The Holy Trinity will not attack the nobles at will, because the nobles are holy The foundation of the Trinity, unless that person seriously threatens the safety of the Holy Trinity and the interests of the majority.

Time flies and a month passes.

During this period,

The Japanese government communicated with the British government through diplomatic channels many times, but the answer they received was that this was a reasonable commercial behavior and the government cannot break business rules, which is inconsistent with the Constitution.

The Japanese people were very excited, feeling that they were slapped hard, and their cheeks hurt.

The national treasure was robbed and sold openly. Their government could only protest but could do nothing. On the Internet, after the Japanese people finished scolding the Charlotte Auction House and the British government, they turned around and began to scold the Japanese government and the Prime Minister for being incompetent.

Originally, Garrison thought that the British government might come forward to prevent the public auction and then turn to private transactions, but he was also surprised that the British government rejected the Japanese request and did not put pressure on the Charlotte Auction House. .

Garrison, Laura, and Jiang Hao also talked about the second strategy before, and they have no opinion on how to sell Jiang Hao. What he wants is money, and now the Japanese are disgusted, and it is enough. Now this result makes the two of them also Feel a little surprised.

What the two of them didn't expect was that the reason why this auction could go on was thanks to their opponent, the Holy Trinity Organization.

It is also the result of the entanglement of multiple conditions, but no matter what, they are the ones who benefit, and the others don't matter.

No matter how disturbed the outside world was, the auction house officially started.

The Charlotte Auction House's own auction hall is full of seats today, and all of them are rich guests, because this time the Charlotte Auction has greatly increased the amount of the auction deposit in order to prevent people from making trouble.

In case the Japanese play high-price auctions and don’t pay in the end, the deposit will make your heart hurt first.

But even so, it can’t stop people’s enthusiasm. There are more than 40 auctioneers who have paid a deposit this time. Among them, there are many big collectors in Europe and the United States. Among them are two waves of Chinese.

Jiang Hao and Laura also came, but sitting in the back, they didn't ask for a sign, and they were just spectators today.

The gold-medal auctioneer of the Charlotte Auction House stepped onto the stage, and after a brief opening remark, introduced the first lot of the day.

"Everyone, today's first auction item is the gold hairpin ornament worn by Queen Himiko. It is made of pure gold and inlaid with various gemstones. It is exquisite and luxurious. What's more important is that in the murals of Queen Himiko's palace published in Japan, there is There is a portrait of Queen Himiko wearing this set of ornaments, and the shape is exactly the same, and these murals have never appeared before, so there is no possibility of imitation.”

"Almost all of today's auction items are directly or indirectly related to Queen Himiko, so here I will introduce the deeds of Queen Himiko. Queen Himiko was the first queen of Japan. She once ruled Japan for 70 years. According to legend She has the power to control nature, can create wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and has the mysterious ability of reincarnation and rebirth. Later, she was revered as the highest god of Japanese Shintoism, Amaterasu God."

The auctioneer was about to continue talking, when a Japanese suddenly stood up and shouted in English: "You auctioning off the sacred objects of the gods is a blasphemy to the gods. You guys will not end well."

As he said that, he jumped up and rushed up the royal platform, trying to grab the Queen Himiko's headdress on the bracket on the platform.

The auctioneer was taken aback, and stared blankly at the Japanese who rushed over with an angry expression on his face. There was a small commotion at the scene, but just as the Japanese rushed to the auction table, two people wearing clothes suddenly appeared behind him. The big man in the security uniform grabbed the Japanese man, twisted it hard, and pushed him to the ground.

They are professional security personnel of the auction company, many of them are retired special forces, and they are very skilled. The Japanese struggled hard but couldn't break free. The two security personnel carried the Japanese out without any explanation.

The auctioneer is a gold medalist, so he reacted very quickly, and immediately said with a smile: "It was just a small episode, and it will not affect our auction process. I would like to say here that all the processes of this auction are legal and disruptive." We're going to hand it over to the police, okay, let's move on."

"The first lot, Queen Himiko's headdress, has a reserve price of £1.3 million, and the auction is now open."

As the auctioneer's voice fell, several placard holders appeared in the audience.

"No. 128, 1.31 million."

"No. 139, 1.32 million."

"1.4 million, Mr. No. 169 directly paid 1.4 million pounds."

There was a lot of bidding, and it didn't take long for this set of jewelry to be raised to 1.55 million pounds. This price is already very high, even though it is the first set of Queen Himiko's jewelry.

At this time, there are only three groups of people participating in the auction, a group of British, a group of Japanese, and a group of Chinese.

The Chinese man was a middle-aged man. He was very calm when he raised his placard, and his expression looked very leisurely. He raised his placard again and directly reported a number, "1.6 million pounds."

British collectors gave up. The price has exceeded the value of this set of jewelry. They are just collectors and not taken advantage of.

The Japanese bidder gave the Chinese a hard look, "1.61 million."

"1.65 million." The Chinese called out again.

The Japanese looked at the Chinese at this moment as if they wanted to eat people, but the Chinese bidder smiled at the other party with a very polite smile.

This guy has money,

He has seen too many auctions of Chinese treasures by these people. Although the asking price for this gold hairpin headdress has exceeded its value, even if it is a collection, it is difficult to have a higher appreciation space, but he wants to buy it, even if it disgusts the Japanese. They are uncomfortable and I am happy.

"1.7 million." The Japanese shouted through gritted teeth.

The Chinese spread his hands, put down the sign and applauded politely, and then everyone applauded together, congratulating the Japanese on his successful bid.

Fortunately for me, I am even happier if I lost it, because it cost the Japanese hundreds of thousands of pounds.

As soon as the auctioneer dropped the hammer, the lot was considered to belong to the Japanese bidder.

"The next lot is a gold coin with the head of Queen Himiko printed on it. The most expensive gold coin in the world is the "Double Eagle" gold coin minted by the United States in 1933. At that time, 500,000 pieces were produced, but it was never issued. Four years later They were destroyed uniformly, but there are still more than a dozen of them flowing out, and now the price of a "Double Eagle" gold coin is around 1 million U.S. dollars."

"And the gold coin with Queen Himiko's head that we are going to auction next should have been produced around 300 A.D., with a history of more than 1,700 years. This is the first time this kind of gold coin has appeared so far. It can be said to be of great historical significance and Research value and collection value."

"The 12 gold coins are sold together, and the reserve price is 2 million pounds. Everyone, this is a rare opportunity. They may be the only 12 gold coins with Queen Himiko's head left in the world. Now the auction begins."

"2.1 million."

"2.15 million."

"."

The price is going up a little bit,

Sitting in the back row and watching the bidders keep raising their cards and trying to get the money into their pockets is really good.

Laura next to him turned sideways, and said in Jiang Hao's ear, "Horie helped you find five more suitable manors. It seems that after today, you will have the money to buy them."

When Laura was talking, she naturally pressed her body towards Jiang Hao, which felt very good.
