Chapter 356: Auction
The next day, Xia Meng went to the company early in the morning, and at about eight o'clock, Ye Lingtian personally asked the driver to come to the Xia family villa to pick up Lin Fan, to be treated like this, I don't know how many people to envy, you must know that not everyone is qualified to sit in the same car with Ye Lingtian.
"Uncle Ye, what kind of treasure makes you so cautious?" In the car, Lin Fan looked at Ye Lingtian and asked. Being able to make Ye Lingtian say these four words is inevitable, it can be seen that this auction item has great value for Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian felt that at this time, there was no need to hide it from Lin Fan, so he said, "I don't know if you have heard of Emperor Ding?"
"Emperor Ding, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered people to imitate the Emperor Ding of the Ancient Nine Dings?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.
"Exactly!" Ye Lingtian nodded.
According to legend, in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, King Yu of Xia divided the world into Kyushu, so that Kyushu contributed bronze to cast Jiuding, symbolizing Kyushu, and engraved the famous mountains and rivers and strange things of Kyushu in the country in the body of Jiuding, and placed Jiuding in the capital of the Xia Dynasty.
Jiuding has gone through the Xia, Shang and Three Dynasties, and has always been a symbol of national rights, until the time of King Zhou Xian, it was not under Surabaya, and it has not been seen since then, of course, there are different interpretations, in short, everyone says that the wind and clouds.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to show his martial arts, so he imitated the Jiuding to make this imperial tripod, but casting the imperial tripod required a large amount of bronze, in order not to waste the people and money, therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered people to reduce the size of the tripod by ten times, and there was this imperial tripod.
Legend has it that the Emperor Ding has a very magical power, and whoever can get it can bless the family for a long time.
It is said that the reason why Emperor Guangwu was able to defeat Wang Mang with his weak strength was because he was blessed by the Emperor Ding, and Wu Zetian was able to be the emperor, and it is said that he also got the Emperor Ding, but unfortunately he was accidentally lost later, Wu Zetian tried to recast Jiuding to consolidate the throne, but unfortunately he was unwilling! Of course, these are just rumors in the Ming Dynasty, but they all illustrate a problem, that is, the Emperor Ding symbolizes a beautiful meaning, not money can measure.
Lin Fan didn't expect Ye Lingtian to take him over to identify the authenticity of this Emperor Ding, no wonder he was so cautious.
The driver drove the car all the way to the auction site and stopped, at this time there were already a lot of luxury cars parked outside the auction house, what Audi A6, Cadillac, Bentley, Lincoln, Rolls-Royce, etc., the people who saw it were simply dazzled, and they knew at a glance that the people who came were either rich or expensive.
The two of them came to the door of the auction house, only to see a few big words written on it, "Fengxing Auction House", Lin Fan felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and was about to think about it carefully, but he heard Ye Lingtian urging: "Duan boy, go quickly!"
Seeing that Ye Lingtian had already taken out the red invitation letter and handed it to the staff outside the door, and was about to go outside and inside, Lin Fan hurriedly greeted him, "It's here!" and followed Ye Lingtian inside.
This invitation is personally sent by the popular auction house to influential people, and it is not something that can be obtained with money or power, and an invitation letter can only bring one more person in.
walked all the way into the auction house, and saw that it was already full of people of all shapes and shapes, and when I looked at the clothes and the aura exuded by my body, I knew that these people were not ordinary people.
"Ye Dong, you're here too!" A Mediterranean saw Ye Lingtian, and immediately greeted him respectfully.
"It turned out to be Mr. Fu, long time no see!" Ye Lingtian recognized the identity of the Mediterranean, and immediately showed a smile that was not salty or light.
"Yes, I've always wanted to ask Ye Dong to come out to play, but it's a pity that you're always too busy!" Mr. Fu said with a smile.
Ye Lingtian was noncommittal, and Mr. Fu walked away immediately after saying hello.
Subsequently, people came over to greet Ye Lingtian one after another, after all, he was the richest man in China, and he was all in the circle of top rich, and no one didn't know Ye Lingtian.
Regardless of whether it is out of politeness or stammering, in this circle, if you don't want to be kicked out, sometimes even if you don't want to do it in your heart, you have to force a smile and make a false promise.
Not long after Lin Fan and Ye Lingtian entered, a Maserati stopped at the door of the auction house, and a fairy-like woman stepped out of the car, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, and they all looked over.
Xia Meng ignored the gazes of these people and walked directly to the door of the auction house, and was about to enter, but was stopped by the staff at the door.
"I'm sorry, Miss, please show me your invitation!" The staff looked at Xia Meng carefully, and his heart was pounding, it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman.
Xia Meng was stunned when he heard this, and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't have an invitation!"
The staff was also stunned when they heard this, but they still said very seriously: "I'm sorry Miss, you can't go in without an invitation." ”
There was a hint of apology in his tone.
Xia Meng was gloomy when he heard this, and was about to retreat, but there was a mocking voice in his ears.
"Isn't this Mr. Xia of the Xia Group......? You're coming to this auction too?"
When Xia Meng heard this, he saw Lei Manli and Manager Zheng walking towards him, and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled.
"Xia Meng, do you know what kind of place this is?Is Fengxing Auction House also a place where you can come?Do you have an invitation letter in hand?" The two walked up to Xia Meng, and Lei Manli asked with a sneer.
Seeing that Xia Meng didn't speak, Lei Man Lijiao smiled and said: "It looks like you don't look like you're gone, too, how can you be able to enter this kind of high-grade auction, Manager Zheng, you said yes?"
"What the eldest lady said is very true! Some people just don't know themselves!" Manager Zheng also said with a sneer.
Xia Meng clenched her hands into fists and clenched her silver teeth, she didn't want to continue to make Lei Manli sneer here, originally she came here to try her luck, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even enter the door.
Yesterday, she suddenly saw a news report, only to know that Fengxing Auction House will hold a charity auction tomorrow, and then large domestic groups will come to participate, Xia Meng feels that this is a good opportunity, as long as the CEO of one of the groups is persuaded to raise funds, then the problem of funds will be solved.
I still took it for granted, Xia Meng sighed, and was about to go back to the car to wait for those bosses to participate in the auction, but was stopped by Lei Manli.
"Why did you just come here and leave, do you want me to take you in?"
In fact, she has no right to take Xia Meng in at all, because the auction house has a rule that only one person can be brought in at most in an invitation, and the reason why she said this is that Lei Manli just wanted to play tricks on Xia Meng.
