Chapter 304: The Auction Storm
Liu Yan immediately called Lu Changqing, and the last time the two were separated, they hadn't been in touch for more than a month.
"Brother Lu, how are you feeling lately? Your body is almost recovering, right?" In fact, Liu Yan has seen it from Lu Changqing's circle of friends, he can now walk and live like ordinary people, but he can't do strenuous activities yet, after all, the recovery of internal organs is slower.
"Mr. Liu, I'm much better, thanks to you, our whole family doesn't know how to thank you, yesterday my dad also said that he wanted to go to your place to play for a few days, and I want to thank you again in person." Lu Changqing is still full of gratitude, people who have experienced life and death are always grateful.
"Brother Lu, don't be so polite, Mr. Lu's investment is the biggest help to me! By the way, did President Qi Yulin contact you later?" Liu Yan remembered that Lu Changqing had said that he wanted to practice martial arts.
"I contacted, President Qi is very enthusiastic, he asked me to join the Shaoyang Martial Arts Association, designated two members to tutor me, now I have to go to the association two or three times a week, it helps me a lot, I have the opportunity to give you a performance!" Speaking of martial arts, Lu Changqing was obviously more excited.
"Hehe, great, in fact, I can see from your circle of friends that your complexion is much better, but you must insist on practicing martial arts, it's not okay to fish for three days and dry nets for two days. ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely insist, I realized a truth, if a person does not have a healthy body, nothing can be done, like I was a while ago, I was bedridden at a young age, my parents cried for not knowing how many times, I was afraid to think about it, if I ......"
The more Lu Changqing spoke, the more excited he became, and Liu Yan quickly interrupted him: "Brother Lu, it's all over, it's over, let's look forward, by the way, I want to tell you something, your circle of friends said that you want some furniture and antiques, right?"
Lu Changqing was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes, is there one in Mr. Liu?"
So Liu Yan briefly talked about Liao Ba, and then passed the list of auction items and photos to him.
After Lu Changqing saw it, he liked it very much, and immediately said: "Mr. Liu, I am very interested in these, can I photograph them? It is estimated that it will be very popular, right?"
Liu Yan smiled mysteriously and said, "This time I am in charge of the auction, if you have anything you like, you can tell me in advance, and I will let you get it!"
"Great, I'm going to get ready and go to you, by the way, my parents may be going too. ”
"That's great, I really miss Mr. Lu and Auntie, and they have invested so much money in me, I also want to show them around my company!"
The two hit it off, and Lu Changqing hurriedly hung up the phone and discussed it with his parents.
Since it was the first time for Liu Yan to preside over the auction, he was very cautious, he consulted all the procedures and made sufficient preparations.
At one o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, the auction was held on time, because Liao Ba was very famous in Guxing County and even in the province, and his downfall was almost known to passers-by, so this auction attracted a lot of rich people, including many underworld forces from all over the world, who were more or less inextricably linked with Liao Ba, or had dealings, and there was a feeling of sadness in it.
Before the auction began, Director Gong secretly chatted with Liu Yan for a while, telling him that someone might make trouble and let him be careful.
Liu Yan sneered: "Don't worry, Director Gong, it's good for someone to make trouble, maybe you can find out a few underworld gangs!"
Director Gong admired Liu Yan's domineering, but also reminded: "You still have to be careful, don't be afraid that they will come hard, just afraid that they will come to the yin, the auction must be carried out smoothly, and we must not let them mess up!"
"I understand, I've figured out the auction process in the past few days, and I've made preparations, and it's going to be fine. ”
The auction began, and the staff came to the stage, and the main items of the auction were displayed on the big screen in the form of a slide, and many people came down the stage, constantly exclaiming, many of Liao Ba's collections appeared in front of everyone for the first time, and people were shocked, and many local tyrants were also eager to try and want to buy their favorite items.
Lu Changqing was also among them, because Liu Yan told him the list of items and the reserve price in advance, so he probably had a number in his heart, and there were a few things that he was determined to get, and he was also ready to add money to take it, of course, he also had an estimated cap price in his heart, and it was not worth it if it was too high.
At the beginning of the auction, the staff took out relatively low-value items, such as Taishi chairs, some vases in modern times, and celebrity paintings, which were generally auctioned for tens of thousands of yuan.
Lu Changqing was not interested in these things, and only waited for those few auction items that he had already been optimistic about.
More than half an hour later, as the staff brought up a pair of calligraphy works, all of a sudden, the audience was excited, and the auction ushered in a small climax.
This is a calligraphy work by a famous artist in the Song Dynasty, the market estimate is about 2 million, and the reserve price is set at 1.8 million!
Lu Changqing also liked this calligraphy work very much, and planned to take it, he estimated that the price he would spend on himself was five million, and if someone bid more than that, he wouldn't want it.
The signs of the local tyrants below kept rising, and the auctioneers kept shouting the price, as expected, the auction price went all the way up, and the number of people holding the sign was slowly decreasing
When the auction price reached four million, there were only three people left in the audience who were still holding signs, including Lu Changqing.
"Four million two million!" Lu Changqing raised the sign again and shouted loudly.
The other two local tyrants hesitated, and the auctioneer held a small hammer in his hand and shouted loudly: "Four million two hundred thousand for the first time, four million for the second time, four hundred ......."
"Four million three million!" Finally, a local tyrant in his fifties held up a sign again, this person actually said that the local tyrant was not suitable, he was wearing casual clothes, he looked very elegant, his hair was gray, he should know how to write and paint.
"Four and a half million!" another person also held up a sign and shouted, he really looked like a local tyrant, wearing a printed shirt, a big gold chain around his neck, and a tattoo on his neck, his expression was also unruly, he squinted at Lu Changqing from time to time, and it seemed that he was bound to win.
"Four and a half million once, four and a half million two times......" the auctioneer raised the hammer again and said in a lengthened voice.
The man in his fifties shook his head gently, although he liked the calligraphy very much, but the price had been pushed too high, it had exceeded his expectations, and he was ready to give up.
Now that the auctioneer is left with Lu Changqing and the arrogant "golden chain", Lu Changqing frowned and raised the sign again: "Four million and six million!"
The "Golden Chain" snorted, glared at Lu Changqing, his eyes showed a fierce light, and seemed to warn Lu Changqing: Don't rob me anymore.
But Lu Changqing did not show weakness, and also looked at him, showing his attitude!
"Four million six hundred thousand once, four million two times, four million six hundred thousand ......" The auctioneer felt that the price should be about the same, and raised the small hammer high, ready to smash it.
"Four million seven million!" The golden chain raised the sign again, gritted his teeth and shouted, it seemed that this price had far exceeded his expectations, and now he was angry with Lu Changqing.
Lu Changqing did not hesitate, and immediately raised the sign and shouted: "Four million and eight hundred thousand!"
The audience was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes were focused on these two people, and it was still unknown who would kill this calligraphy in the end, and it seemed that Lu Changqing and the gold chain were not easy to mess with.
The gold chain was in a hurry, he didn't want to add any more money, but he really wanted this calligraphy, so he made a look, and immediately two big men walked over from Lu Changqing's left and right, wanting to pinch Lu Changqing and intimidate.
The others saw this scene, but they didn't dare to say anything, this kind of gang-related forces are really crazy, but they can do anything.
"Four million .9 million!" the golden chain shouted loudly, and then he made a fierce expression at Lu Changqing, meaning to say: If you dare to rob me again, the people around you will immediately abolish you!
But Lu Changqing didn't react, he didn't have a scared expression at all, and immediately raised the sign again and shouted, "I'll give five million!"
Wow!
The audience was stunned, not only did they not expect that this calligraphy would be photographed for five million, but they were even more surprised that Lu Changqing, a thin and tall young man, was not afraid of the two big men on the left and right!
When Lu Changqing shouted out five million, the golden chain waved his hand, and the two big men immediately made a move, hitting Lu Changqing on the left and right!
Everyone exclaimed, especially the people sitting near Lu Changqing, who avoided one after another, for fear of hurting themselves.
Just when everyone thought that Lu Changqing was going to be violently beaten, suddenly, the two big men screamed, flew backwards, fell on the chair, and passed out.
And Lu Changqing, as if it was fine, continued to sit there and watch the auctioneer on the stage, waiting for him to auction the calligraphy.
The auctioneer saw that there was some chaos below, and was about to apply to stop the auction, but the silence returned in an instant, and continued to shout: "Five million once, five million two times......"
The "Golden Chain" completely lost his temper this time, the money was not enough, and the people couldn't beat them, so he had to lower his head and admit defeat.
"Five million three times, sold!" As the small hammer in the auctioneer's hand fell, this calligraphy work belonged to Lu Changqing!
The audience erupted in a burst of applause, some people congratulated Lu Changqing, and more people were surprised that Lu Changqing had such extraordinary skills.
And Lu Changqing is full of gratitude to Liu Yan in his heart, which was brought to him by Liu Yan, which not only restored his health, but also allowed him to learn martial arts, so that he could protect himself and save the day!
Lu Changqing took a picture of his favorite calligraphy work with satisfaction, and at this time, Liu Yan sat on the rostrum on the left, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Liu Yan was very satisfied with Lu Changqing's actions just now, it seems that Lu Changqing is not only a seedling of martial arts, but also works very hard, others didn't see the actions just now, but he saw it very clearly.
