Chapter 880 The Pharaoh Is Fake
Wang Tianhui didn't care whether the person in charge of Sotheby's gave way, and directly pulled out the piece of synthetic resin stuffed into the gap in the coffin.

"This coffin should have been sealed with rosin in the first place. The wood was impregnated with pine oil, which didn't bond well with the synthetic resin, and it separated after a long time."

Throwing the torn synthetic resin aside, Wang Tianhui looked at Rosen.

Tell him with your eyes that it's your turn!

Rosen understood, turned to the person in charge of Sotheby's and said, "Now, can we open it and have a look?"

"Oh, yes... yes." Although the person in charge of Sotheby's didn't want to do this, he didn't dare to refuse directly.

Rosen couldn't wait any longer, so he started to do it himself, but found that the coffin lid couldn't be opened at all.

"Help me!" He called out to the person in charge of Sotheby's.

The person in charge hurried up to help, but neither of them opened the coffin lid.

"You guys can't do this. This coffin has a wedge-shaped structure, and you have to find a mechanism to open it." Wang Tianhui said from the side.

"How do you know?" The person in charge of Sotheby's asked in surprise.

Wang Tianhui didn't answer him, but closed his eyes and used radar skills to see the structure of the coffin, then came to the place where the Pharaoh Tianling Gai was, and stretched out his hand to press it down.

click!

There was a sound of the mechanism starting, and the entire coffin lid moved upwards.

The person in charge of Sotheby's and Rosen were taken aback, thinking that the pharaoh had cheated on his body.

"Try again this time."

Wang Tianhui felt a little disgusted, took two steps back, covered his nose and said.

The two looked at each other, and then they worked together to open the coffin lid.

A musty smell hit the face, almost making the two of them spit up.

Inside lay a mummy, and the cloth strips wrapped around it were no longer white, and were covered with yellow and black mold.

It is completely different from the pharaoh's figure painted on the coffin lid.

The pharaoh on the coffin cover is slender, with long hands and long feet, tall and majestic.

But this mummy is a little chunky, with big hands and feet, like a farmer.

And this mummy has nothing on its body except cloth strips.

"Strange, shouldn't there be golden masks and decorations? Where are they all?"

The image of the mummy is far from what the person in charge of Sotheby's thought, and he has begun to doubt it.

When Rosen saw the pharaoh's mummy's face, he lost the urge to buy him, but after seeing it all, at least it made him completely give up.

So he took the ring and moved it to the mummy's right hand.

"Mr. Wang said that the jewelry was taken off by Pharaoh. If it belonged to him, he would definitely be able to wear it."

As he said that, Rosen put the ring on the middle finger of the mummy's right hand, but found that it could only be caught on the fingertip, and it couldn't go down at all.

"Isn't this finger too thick? This is a fake pharaoh!" Rosen said.

"Fake? No way?"

The person in charge of Sotheby's was the most shocked person. He also came over and tried the ring on each of the pharaoh's fingers, but none of them could fit.

"Could it be that the mummy of the pharaoh was swollen with moisture? It became thicker, so it couldn't be put on?"

Even he himself didn't believe this, but he was still unwilling to accept the reality.

Wang Tianhui smiled, took something casually and tapped lightly on the mummy's body.

A burst of moldy ash flew up, and the mummy made a dry and hard sound, and it was almost dry.

The person in charge of Sotheby's immediately shut his mouth, and then looked solemn.

"It's negligent, it seems that our review is not comprehensive, what should we do now?"

He glanced at the time, "It's too late."

At this time, he received a call, and his subordinates were asking him if he would move the goods out of the warehouse, and the second half of the auction would start immediately.

"If it is withdrawn now, there is no way to explain it to everyone, and the reputation and credibility of Sotheby's will also be damaged. What should we do now?" The person in charge of Sotheby's broke into a sweat.

"Anyway, I don't know how to shoot, and neither do my friends. I don't care what you do with it." Rosen didn't care at all.

Wang Tianhui remembered that the people of Chicken Country wanted to buy it, and they might not do good things, so he wanted them to be taught a lesson.

"The price of your pharaoh mummy is not high, even the price of a coffin is not too high. After all, no one has ever opened this coffin. Whether it is real or not is not your problem. We can pretend that we don't know." Wang Tianhui said.

Rosen nodded, "That's right, this coffin is good for collection, and it's worth the money."

Hearing what the two said, the person in charge of Sotheby's immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If the two of them are willing to keep it secret, then the big thing will be turned into a small one, why not do it?

"Hehe, that's great! Thank you both! If you want to participate in Sotheby's auctions in the future, we have no threshold, and the service fee will be reduced by 30%."

"Does this count?" Rosen asked.

The person in charge of Sotheby's smiled wryly and said, "Forget it, of course it does."

"You guys are pretty good at doing business, that's fine, that's it, we have to go to the venue."

After speaking, Wang Tianhui and Luo Sen left together.

The person in charge hurriedly called someone to reseal the coffin, and then the safes were shipped out one by one.

When Wang Tianhui arrived at the venue, the auctioneer was already on stage and everyone was seated, all in high spirits.

The second half is the real contest, everyone is ready, gearing up and waiting for the auction to start.

With the auctioneer's "Welcome everyone back", the second half of the auction officially started.

The first auction item on the market turned out to be the coffin of the pharaoh.

The safe was lifted onto the stage, and then several staff carried the pharaoh's coffin onto the booth.

When the lights went down, the lacquered gold pharaoh's coffin exuded a mysterious golden light, and the audience sighed, and many people were already ready to move.

Wang Tianhui has good hearing, and he heard the conversations of the Ji people sitting in the back two rows.

"The pharaoh's mummy and the golden coffin are priced at 500 million. Our budget is within 1000 million. It's best to settle for 800 million. If it exceeds, we will give up."

"Understood, then let's raise our cards carefully and wait and see first."

"There shouldn't be many people competing. The more we save, the more competitive we will be when meteorites compete."

"understand!"

Soon, the auctioneer began to bid.

"The base price of the pharaoh's coffin is 500 million yuan, and those who are interested will start bidding!"

Luo Sen and Wang Tianhui subconsciously looked at each other and smiled, and they could tell that the organizer deliberately did not mention the mummy to escape responsibility.

What was photographed was the golden coffin, not the mummy. Even if the mummy was found to be fake, they would not have to bear any responsibility.

It has to be said that the person in charge of Sotheby's has a top-notch mind.

"550 million!"

"600 million!"

"650 million!"

……

The price kept going up, and the chicken people remained silent, but all of them looked solemn. They didn't expect that there were quite a few people bidding.
