Power of Money
Chapter 495

Among a few complicated eyes, the last collection of the auction tonight was pushed by Dan, who had already disappeared from his seat, to the spotlight of the stage.

"To tell the truth, this collection is not mine. It's a collection from a foreign friend. I'm dragged to the charity auction tonight, and the starting price is 500,000 dollars. And no matter how much the final transaction price is, he's willing to donate 30% of the cost to the charity foundation as an autistic child to contribute his own love."

Dan's tone was very humble. After he briefly introduced the origin of the item, he handed the microphone to the host, stepped down in the applause, and sat back beside Riley.

"The starting price of five hundred thousand dollars? The starting price is too low, isn't it?" Riley frowned and asked.

"Is it low?" Dan chuckled.

"You didn't tell me that one of the scrolls could be worth as much or even higher than the total price of tonight's auction. Even the price of the first round of jewelry in the hotel is not as high as five hundred thousand dollars. What are you going to do if it is taken away directly?"

Riley didn't know much about the origin and value of the Classics on the Women's History, but she knew that this was a priceless calligraphy painting, which was enough for her to really turn over and her status would soar.

"No." Dan shook his head. "I know that three days ago, two diamond members in the mainland of our Horse Club were restricted by personal freedom because of some things. They couldn't contact the outside world. As the vice president of the Horse Club, I should have solved these problems for members, but unfortunately, the force involved in this matter was too strong. Even the Horse Club couldn't do anything about it. We could only listen to it and try not to cause any trouble..."

Riley nodded. She was a member of the Horse Club. When there was nothing wrong with the Chans, she would occasionally come to Gavila for horse racing, but her level was very low, so she was not qualified to participate in this charity auction.

So she was very clear that how terrible wealth could be in the hands of those who owned diamond-level membership cards in the Horse Club.

However, a horse without night grass was fat, and a man without wealth was rich.

Most rich people always had an unknown past.

This resulted in their assets to be risky.

If one was not careful, there would be loopholes and problems, resulting in irreparable consequences.

It was normal in the horse gathering.

"However, these two people actually appeared here today."

While Riley was deep in thought, Dan suddenly opened his mouth.

"What?" Riley was shocked. She opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Dan in disbelief.

"Are you saying that someone replaced their names to come to the charity auction tonight?" Riley lowered her voice and had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Dan nodded. "Yes, I've already identified them, and I've also confirmed their identities."

"Where's that man? Why didn't he arrest him? Is he still on the cruise?" Li Riley asked anxiously.

"Why are you in such a hurry... Don't you want to know why they came here as members being arrested?" Dan said with a smile.

"Why..." Riley was a little surprised, and then whispered, "Is it for this picture?"

Although she did not know the meaning of the Graph of Girl's History, she knew where it came from.

Otherwise, the most important auction tonight would not be arranged on this cruise ship, and it would only start after entering the high seas.

"Yes, this painting is too eye-catching. Every time it appears, it is accompanied by a sensation all over the world. Therefore, it can't avoid those with ulterior motives. It wants to secretly take it away and send it to the place where it was born..." Dan said blandly.

"But what does it have to do with us? Since the ship has already driven to the high seas, who can buy this painting? As long as the price is right, it will do no harm to us. Maybe the price of these people may not be higher?" Riley was puzzled.

"Who bought it, not me?" Dan shook his head. "What's the definition of your current painting?"

"Ah?" Riley was stunned and then said,

"It's a work of art."

"Yes." Dan nodded. "But if it falls into these people's hands, can you guess what it is called?"

"What?"

"Evidence!"

Dan said in a low voice, "Once he bought this painting and transferred the money into his account, we will be completely related to this matter. If he is determined to sell the national treasure privately, you should know the consequences..."

Riley was stunned. When this painting was used to belong to Marquis Charlie, he still needed to negotiate and negotiate with him. But once it was related to her, the nature would be completely different. "But, once the price of this painting is the highest price of these two people, what should we do? Not to sell it to him? Or watch him take it away?" Riley said worriedly.

"Haha, we'll definitely sell them. Business requires integrity. When we hold an auction, they're willing to bid and bid. This is a business, but once the painting is in their hands, it'll have nothing to do with us whether it's lost or not..." Dan chuckled.

Riley looked at him and asked in disbelief, "So you offered a base price of five hundred thousand dollars just for the sake of Marquis Charlie..."

"Marquis Charlie doesn't want the matter to be exposed, so he is the target of public opinion. After all, he is doing charity for the public interest. What's the so-called 'no matter how much money he has or how little money he has..."

Riley was shocked.

The Goddess's Tide was hidden in the library by Marquess Charlie, which had always been a topic of much discussion in the world's collection.

After all, this thing was stolen from China.

To be a thief, one had to know how to secretly sell stolen goods.

If Charlie really violated his promise in front of the global media for so many years, he would sell it at a high price to ensure that he could protect the world's history and culture, and then he would gain a profit from it...

He was bound to push himself to the top of the storm and be criticized by the people.

However, in the name of charity, it meant to give five hundred thousand dollars to the charity fund auction, which completely showed that I was here for charity. It didn't matter how much money you had. As for how much the price was, it had nothing to do with me. It was all personal behavior of the bidders and the auction house.

Anyway, I'm using it as a charity for autistic children around the world.

Who could say anything about raising an antique calligraphy painting to such a high level?

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is also a famous piece of silk painting from the history of Celestial Empire, whose works describe the deeds of women. There is a story that Feng Yuan of the Han Dynasty blocked the bear with her own body to protect Emperor Han. There is a story that Ban Chuyu refused to be with Emperor Han, in order to prevent the story of emperor's lust for women and the failure of state affairs and so on... The favorite guests can begin to bid for it, starting at the starting price of five hundred thousand dollars."

Just as Jason felt that with the appearance of the " statue of the female history", the scene would reach a climax, the host's voice rang on the stage, which immediately made Jason a little confused. He was very confused. "What on earth is he talking about?"

Of course Jason knew the origin of the things on the stage, but the noise on the scene clearly showed that. Most people didn't know that after a whole night, they changed two places in a row and drove to the high seas to auction the finale. What the hell was it?

"So he's making a mystery of it?"

Jason frowned and hesitated to press the auction button. Not to mention the origin of the item, nor to introduce its original author and its historical significance, it was just a simple description, which was not seen in the whole auction history.

"Are you going to ask your people to guess by yourselves?"

Jason couldn't make up his mind. He felt that the atmosphere on the scene began to be subtle. In more than a minute after the host shouted, the whole hall was silent. The atmosphere was not as enthusiastic as he imagined.

The host was a little anxious. The auction of these things just now was so popular, and they were all ancient Chinese relics. Why did no one care about the highest calligraphy and paintings that should be called? He coughed and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, maybe Duke Charlie considered tonight's auction was to make contributions to the charity business, so he didn't set a high starting price. But this can also prove that there is absolutely an appreciation space for this item. Do you have any interested friends?"

"One million dollars!"

As soon as he finished his words, in the dim hall, there suddenly came the standard sound of standard Mandarin bidding.
