Cartagena, Colombia
In a seaside hotel.
"Ring, ring, ring ~" Apple's exclusive ringtone rang in the room.
On the balcony, Sun Jian, who was meditating facing the sea, was awakened by the ringing of the bell. He opened his eyes and looked." F * ck, it's already dawn. Didn't you just cultivate for a while?”
Sun Jian looked at the rising sun and asked in surprise. He remembered that he had only cultivated for a short while according to the technique in his mind.
The System replied," Cultivation has no time. In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed. It was normal to feel that time passed very quickly during cultivation.”
Hearing the system's explanation, Sun Jian was relieved.
He stood up and stretched his muscles. His bones immediately crackled, and he felt comfortable all over. It was really wonderful. He realized that he seemed to like this kind of cultivation.
"No wonder. Those monks and Daoists could endure loneliness. It turned out that cultivation was so enjoyable.”Sun Jian muttered to himself.
However, he had also overestimated those monks and Daoists. How could those people who were meditating and cultivating compare to him?
Sun Jian looked at the phone that was still ringing. He walked over and took a look at it.
His handsome little face turned bitter. Oh no, I forgot to tell them.
After picking up the call, Sun Jian placed the phone far away from his ear. As expected. A roar came from the phone.
"Brat, are you itching for a beating? You didn't even call us to tell us about such a big matter. If it wasn't for someone else telling me, how long were you going to hide it from us?”
After the roar died down, Sun Jian put the phone to his ear, licked his lips, and smiled.""Um…Sis…I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I was too excited and forgot to inform you.”
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you. When are you auctioning your things?”
" Today, today's the auction."
"Come back quickly after you're done. By the way, remember to buy me some perfume and bags. I'm very busy now. I'm hanging up!”
"Beep, beep, beep…"
“…………”
Sun Jian speechlessly looked at the phone that had been hung up and shook his head. It seemed that he would have to go home and talk about it.
………………
The news that Sun Jian intended to auction the entire San José had spread to the ears of the organizations and wealthy people who had the ability to buy it through Sotheby's a few days ago.
And the auction was today.
At the Hilton Hotel, in a luxurious conference room.
This place had long been set up as an auction venue.
Sun Jian, on the other hand, was now dressed in a fitting suit. He stood at the door and welcomed the guests.
"Hello, Mr. Midaran, welcome.”Sun Jian smiled and greeted the guests.
Michael Sugaza Miranda was a famous Spanish artist and the current director of the Pudora National Museum.
"Hello, Mr. Sun. I have to say that you've been favored by the goddess of luck.”Michael Sugatha Miranda shook hands with Sun Jian and said.
"Indeed, discovering the San José was the luckiest thing in my life.”Sun Jian smiled humbly.
Michael Sugatha Miranda looked at the young man in front of him. He was very sunny and friendly. When he smiled, it made people feel comfortable. He could not help but have a good impression of him.
Before he came, Michael Sugatha Miranda had done some research on Sun Jian through the government's intelligence agency. Sun Jian graduated from one of the best universities in China, Yanjing University. He was proficient in English and Japanese, and had high computer skills. He liked to do things himself. After graduating from university, he started to create things at home.
It turned out that Michael Sugatha Miranda thought that Sun Jian was a person who didn't like to talk and had a strange personality. She didn't expect him to be a very sunny and energetic young man. This gave him a good impression. Moreover, this young man was about to be worth more than two billion dollars. Such a net worth was enough to squeeze into the top of the world's richest people, the elite level of society.
"Hello, Earl Hill." Sun Jian said to an old man with a smile on his face.
The old man had the demeanor of a gentleman, holding a civilized staff in his hand.
There were many ancient families in the Ying Country with a long history.
The Hill Family was one of them. Their history could be traced back to the early 16th century.
"Hello, Mr. Sun. You're really young and look very energetic. You're very lucky. If you're free, I welcome you to visit Hill Manor.”Earl Hill smiled and said to Sun Jian.
"Thank you!"
......
"Hello, Prince Abu Dur. Welcome.”
Prince Abu Aziz bin Fahad was the favorite youngest son of the King of Dubai. At the age of 14, he owned seven Cadillac and three planes. His weekly pocket money was 6 million US dollars, and he had 300 million US dollars a year. If that was not enough, he still had 1.6 billion in his bank account waiting to be spent. Even Buckingham Palace wanted to buy him.
The arrival of this tycoon made Sun Jian smile.
"Hello, I'm holding a cocktail party next month. I'd like to invite you to my party.”
"Thank you. I'll be there on time."
………………
Half an hour later, after all the guests had arrived, the door of the conference room closed.
On the auction stage, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked up.
Tobias Meyer, the chief auctioneer of Sotheby's. He was also the acting head of Sotheby's art department. Compared to CEO Rupredt, Meyer's face was synonymous with Sotheby's, and his men could always facilitate the sale of important items. Sotheby's had just achieved the largest single sale in the company's history on November 14, 2013 ($380 million), which was completed by Meyer's contemporary art department.
He was also a White Glove.
White gloves were the highest honor an auctioneer could get. It signified that an auction had a 100% success rate. It represented the high recognition of everyone.
And Sotheby's sending him here to personally be the auctioneer was enough to prove how much importance Sotheby's placed on this auction.
After Mayer walked onto the stage, he said,""Welcome, guests. Today, our Sotheby's company has been entrusted by Mr. Sun Jian to hold this auction here.
I believe everyone is aware of the items being auctioned. They are the San José and all the treasures on the San José.
Next, I will give you a brief introduction of the San José.
The San José was a 1200-ton large Galen sailing ship. It was built in 1698 and was part of the Spanish Navy. It was equipped with 64 cannons and had powerful firepower!
In June 1708, the San José was loaded with countless gold, silver, and jewelry plundered by the Spanish colonists in Colombia, Mexico, and ecuador. It began its last voyage!
Its departure point was the port of Cartagena, Colombia. The purpose was to transport this huge amount of wealth to Spain and provide financial support to Spain, which was at war with the Ying country.
However, the people of the Ying Country quickly received relevant news through their informants. Not long after the San José's fleet set sail, they encountered an ambush by the Ying Country's fleet.
After a fierce battle. In the end, the San José was unfortunately sunk and sank into the depths of the Caribbean Sea with countless gold and silver treasures!
Just a few days ago, our lucky Mr. Sun Jiansun discovered the San José that had been sleeping for more than 300 years in the high seas near the port of Cartagena, Colombia."
(A newbie, I hope everyone can collect more and give me some flowers to support)
