Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment - Chapter 1599
Chapter 1599: After 5,000 Years, It’s Finally My Turn!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Feng’s thoughts were all on Robert Cochet’s last work.
Although the system’s in-depth scan results only had some narrative text, he found the corresponding complete image on his phone.
The Statue of Liberty, made of 24K gold, was 50 centimeters tall and had a total mass of over 100 kilograms. It was the same as the statue near the Harrison River’s mouth in New York, United States. The statue was dressed in ancient Greek-style clothing and had a radiant crown on her head. Seven sharp lights symbolized the seven continents. She held the torch symbolizing freedom in her right hand, the Declaration of Independence in her left hand, and the broken shackles under her feet symbolized breaking free from the constraints of violence and the pursuit of freedom.
It was simply too tempting!
Ye Feng felt like he couldn’t breathe.
In the eyes of Westerners, Robert Cochet was the ancestor of the banking industry and goldsmiths. He had a pivotal position in the art world.
If his posthumous work were to appear in the world, it would set off a huge storm in the entire art world. All the artists would probably go crazy over it!
Ye Feng even suspected that there was a problem with the system’s evaluation, for such a huge gold statue, just the raw materials alone were worth a lot, and with Robert’s genius reputation, it was probably worth more than ten million dollars.
At the side, Zhuang Xiaoqiao also noticed Ye Feng’s strange behavior.
Seeing Ye Feng’s nonchalant expression, then how his eyes suddenly lit up and his breathing quickened, she could not help but feel worried.
For some inexplicable reason, was he suffering from hyperthyroidism or something?
“Little Feng, are you sick?”
“If you feel uncomfortable, you should go for a checkup as soon as possible!”
“You can’t keep delaying. What if your condition worsened and you suddenly passed away, leaving me alone?”
Zhuang Xiaoqiao said nervously.
Ye Feng regained his senses and looked at Zhuang Xiaoqiao, who was a drama queen, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
With such a beautiful girl who can talk. Even if I wanted to die, I probably won’t die!
Besides, we haven’t even broken through that layer yet. How can we even talk about leaving you alone?!
Following Richard around the warehouses, Ye Feng was also filled with anticipation.
In order to give himself a little surprise, he did not use the system’s deep navigation to check these warehouses in advance. He would only use the deep navigation when the warehouse door was opened and he could not see anything from the surface.
Time passed quickly as Richard opened the warehouse doors. He didn’t find anything good even after checking all 100-plus warehouses.
There were some items in the warehouse that the system would show some light spots indicating that they had treasures, but most of them were only worth a few thousand yuan, Ye Feng felt that it was quite boring, so he did not bother with them.
After looking through all the storage units, everyone secretly remembered the numbers of the storage units they liked.
Next, Ye Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and prepared to join the auction.
He only remembered two storage units. One of them was storage unit number eight, where Robert Cochet’s golden Statue of Liberty was, and the other was storage unit number ten, where a few old wooden shelves and bottles were placed.
The items in unit number ten were all covered in dust. Even an antique expert wouldn’t be able to see anything.
But he had the system’s deep navigation!
Those bottles and jars were all precious porcelain made by the five famous kilns. They were all things from the Song Dynasty.
Even the wooden shelves were not ordinary. They were all made of yellow rosewood.
This bunch of foreigners didn’t know what they were, let alone what they were called.
When the auction started, Ye Feng did not bother with the first few storage units, but when it was the eighth storage unit’s turn, Ye Feng was the first to stand out.
It’s been 5,000 years, and it’s finally my turn!
“Five hundred dollars!”
Ye Feng was the first to bid.
Everyone looked at him in shock. No matter how they looked at it, there was only junk in the eighth storage unit. It looked no different from a garbage dump.
For this kind of trash, the average person’s bid of 100 dollars was already considered high!
Among the crowd, there were a few who were interested in the eighth storage unit, but after hearing Ye Feng’s bid, they stopped.
The reason was simple. The items in the warehouse were either abandoned or forgotten by the previous owners. The items that could be abandoned and forgotten were probably not worth much. One hundred dollars might even exceed the value of those items. As for spending 500 dollars to bid, it was not worth it no matter how they thought about it.
“What are you doing?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao tugged at Ye Feng’s shirt in confusion.
Both of them were not short of money, these 500 dollars were nothing to them, it was just a drop in the ocean, but she did not understand why Ye Feng would bid for a bunch of cardboard boxes and woven bags.
“My intuition tells me that there’s something good inside.” Ye Feng hugged Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s slender waist and said proudly.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao covered her mouth and laughed. “Don’t do that. Be careful not to dig out a nest of dead rats.”
Ye Feng also laughed. “You are right, I saw a little rat wandering around inside, that’s why I took a photo, I wanted to give you a surprise.”
“What? It can’t be, right?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao was so scared that her face turned pale. She was most afraid of rats. When she heard or saw it, she felt goosebumps.
“Of course, I lied to you.” Ye Feng whispered in her ear.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s ears were tickled by the hot breath from his mouth. “Bad guy,” she said.
Ye Feng laughed, he waited for the Golden Statue of Liberty to be in his bag.
Richard was also surprised that Ye Feng offered five hundred dollars.
“Hey! The opportunity is right in front of you. Everyone, you have to seize it!”
“Let’s take a gamble. A bicycle will become a motorcycle!”
“Let’s take a chance. We’ll exchange the motorcycle for a luxury car!”
“Seize the opportunity. It’s possible to get rich overnight!”
Richard didn’t let go of this opportunity to raise the price and urged the others.
No one listened to him.
They were all veterans who gambled on storage units. Even in this industry, only a few people could really make a fortune. Most of them lost money. Many of them had been fooled by Richard when they first entered the industry.
Richard saw that these people didn’t buy it, but he didn’t feel embarrassed. He grinned and continued to host the auction of the next storage unit.
When they arrived at unit 10, most of them were not in the mood to bid.
“20 dollars!”
However, someone still offered a price.
“20 dollars!”
“30 dollars!”
“40 dollars!”
“45 dollars!”
The price kept rising, and soon it reached 50 dollars. However, no one continued to bid at this time.
“Is there anyone who wants to bid a higher price?”
“If not, the things in this warehouse will belong to Jerry!”
Richard looked at a black man named Jerry and was ready to drop the hammer.
