Chapter 125: When the Auction Takes Place
In the afternoon, the auction took place as scheduled.
At this juncture, Su Chen didn't have anything to do.
However, half an hour before the auction officially started, he received a call from Jin Qiaoqiao, saying that she and her father were going to come to the auction to meet each other.
Speaking of which, Jin Qiaoqiao originally had a task today, and the task was to be responsible for the order and security of the third antique auction in Jinnan City.
However, when she heard that this auction was held by Lin Xiongye, this little girl didn't know what was wrong, and directly followed up and applied to refuse the security task this time.
Su Chen thought that she would not come, but he didn't expect to come as a seller.
Since Jin Qiaoqiao wanted to come, Su Chen had no reason to refuse, so he simply took three auction tickets for Jin Dashan before, but he didn't need him to pick them up in person.
When the auction was about to start, Jiang Qianyu was late.
"I'm sorry, Su Chen, I'm late. Looking at the already crowded venue, Jiang Qianyu's face was slightly red, panting, and there were fragrant sweats on the corners of Qiong's forehead, which looked bright and moving.
Seeing the scene of the beautiful woman sweating, it is estimated that any man will not be angry when he sees it, besides, the auction has not officially started.
"It's not started yet. Let's go, I'll take you to get the auction number plate first. Su Chen smiled slightly.
With the admission ticket, it does not mean that you can participate in the auction, you must go to the background to verify your identity, and then get a license plate that can participate in the auction after passing, so that you can participate in the bidding at the auction to be held.
The purpose of this is naturally to prevent others from bidding maliciously or deliberately disrupting the order of the auction.
came to the backstage and registered the ID card, Jiang Qianyu got the number plate of one hundred and twenty.
"Su Chen!"
Shortly after getting the license plate, a crisp but obviously strange voice came from behind the two of them.
"Qiaoqiao, Uncle Jin, you are here too. Su Chen turned his head and said hello with a smile.
Jin Qiaoqiao walked in front of the two, although he was looking at Su Chen, but the corner of his eye kept aiming at Jiang Qianyu, but the movements were very secretive, and no one noticed it.
"Hmph. After Jin Qiaoqiao saw that the woman beside Su Chen was actually a complete beauty, he couldn't help but snort lightly, which made Su Chen a little inexplicable.
However, thinking that this girl had always been a little abnormal, Su Chen didn't think much about it, but asked Jin Dashan: "Uncle Jin, which auction item do you like?"
When Jin Dashan was in the presence of outsiders, he looked very solemn, and he couldn't see the slightest hint of a liar's breath: "It's that Chenghua Doucai, and I don't know if I have enough money to shoot it." β
That being said, his voice was indeed full of confidence.
It's no wonder that he is confident, you must know that during this period of cooperation with Su Chen, he has made a lot of money, although that Chenghua Doucai is one of the finale auction items, but with his financial resources, it is really not difficult to win.
However, Su Chen was a little curious, how could this guy Jin Dashan come to the auction?
You must know that Jin Dashan in his memory does not look like an authentic collector, and his interest in antiques should only be limited to making money.
As if sensing Su Chen's doubts, Jin Dashan smiled mysteriously.
Since they met, after Su Chen waited for Jin Dashan to get the number plate, the four of them came to the auction table together.
But when I was halfway there, I met an acquaintance again.
"A thousand words!"
Li Sen's voice was full of surprise, but when he noticed Su Chen beside Jiang Qianyu, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but beat violently a few times.
"Qianyu, why are you here? Don't notify me, I can also accompany you. Automatically filtered Su Chen, Li Sen showed a gentlemanly smile on his face, and he walked in front of Jiang Qianyu extraordinarily.
"I'm here, there's no need to report to you. Facing Li Sen, who is extraordinary in appearance and identity, ordinary women would probably have greeted each other with a smile, but Jiang Qianyu's face turned cold, just like when Su Chen first met her in the hospital.
Li Sen's face froze, and he couldn't hold it anymore, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, and said with a smile: "That's not it, it's just that the last time I saw Uncle Ning, he hoped that we could have a good contact, but I know that Qianyu is usually very busy, so I haven't bothered, and it's really fate to see you today." β
I have to say that Li Sen is still very good at speaking, but he doesn't know that his words just touched the most annoying line in Jiang Qianyu's heart.
"I'm sorry, the auction is about to start, we're going to enter. Jiang Qianyu's voice was a little colder than just now.
"Sen Shao, please let go, don't get in the way, we're going in. Su Chen's voice sounded at the right time.
Originally, he wanted to automatically filter out Su Chen, but as soon as this sentence fell, Li Sen's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
His position is right in the middle of the road, if it were an ordinary person, it would be good to bypass it directly, but when Su Chen said this, it was as if he was deliberately blocking the road, and the implication was that good dogs would not get in the way.
This made Li Sen's gentleman's face unable to maintain any longer, and he said coldly: "Su Chen, I hope you can continue to be so arrogant." β
After that, although he was unhappy, he could only let go of his body and watched Su Chen and the others walk past him.
"You have a grudge against Li Sen?"
After walking to the venue of the auction and finding a corner seat to sit down, Jiang Qianyu asked softly.
"Hatred? Su Chen remembered that at that banquet, Li Sen was slapped in the face by himself, and nodded.
For a person like Li Sen, who lost such a big face in front of so many upper-class people or young people of the same generation as himself, he naturally hated Su Chen to death in his heart.
Coupled with the events during this time, it can be said that the hatred between Su Chen and Li Sen should be only less than that between him and He Tian.
Jiang Qianyu didn't ask what was going on between the two, but after thinking for a while, he said in a dignified tone: "Then you have to be careful, Li Sen's family has a lot of power, and this person is ...... It's sinister. β
"You've seen it thoroughly. Su Chen said with some surprise.
You must know that Li Sen's external image has always been gentle and humble, polite, but Jiang Qianyu can explain his essence in one word.
"I've known him since I was a child, and I already know who he is. β
Jiang Qianyu explained a little, and it was precisely because she knew who Li Sen was that she was so indifferent to this guy. It's just that what makes her a little annoyed is that the family, especially Jiang Qianyu's uncle and third uncle, have been thinking of ways to match her and Li Sen.
Just as the two were chatting softly, the entire auction hall was already full of people one after another.
At two o'clock, a thirty-year-old man in a dark tuxedo walked up to the auction stand: "Good afternoon, guests, welcome to the third antique auction conference in Jinnan City, I am the auctioneer of this auction, Luo Qing......"
Although the auction is the most important thing to look at the quality of the auction items, a good auctioneer can undoubtedly greatly increase the atmosphere of the scene and increase the auction price.
"This auction is organized by Jinnan Treasure Pavilion Antique Shop, as well as Treasure Pawnshop, each lot is carefully selected, no one is worth less than 300,000 yuan, a total of 100 lots, we will be divided into two days for the official auction......
Luo Qing's voice was very infectious, and the witty words were full of witty words, and it didn't take much effort for the atmosphere of the entire auction to be quickly mobilized.
However, Li Sen, who was in the middle of the auction seat, couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words "Treasure Pawnshop".
"Li Shao, what is the origin of this treasure pawnshop?"
Sitting next to Li Sen was a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair, but his eyes were bright, and he knew at a glance that he was a shrewd person.
This person is Sun Wei, the general manager of the branch of Xingchen Group, which specializes in pawnshop affairs.
He also came to Jinnan yesterday, and when he heard that such a large-scale auction was actually organized by a pawn shop, he immediately had a strong interest.
Li Sen snorted coldly and said, "It's a pawn shop opened by a guy who doesn't know what to do." Opening a pawnshop in Jinnan is purely asking for hardship. β
Sun Wei is a good person, seeing Li Sen's attitude, he knew that he must have a grudge against this pawnshop, nodded at the moment, hesitated for a moment and said: "Li Shao, this treasure pawnshop, it's better to pay a little attention." β
"yes, I see. Li Sen waved his hand and said.
Sun Wei didn't say anything immediately, as for whether Li Sen really listened or not, it was not his business. Moreover, in his heart, he didn't think that this treasure pawnshop would be much of a threat.
The auction proceeded in an orderly manner.
Feeling the warm atmosphere of the scene, Jin Qiaoqiao, who has always liked to be lively, turned a little red, took Su Chen's right hand and said, "Su Chen, this auction is even more lively than the last time Gu Shengzhai was held." β
Last time, she accompanied Su Chen and Jin Dashan to an auction of Gu Shengzhai, and she felt that the antique industry was very interesting, but how could the scale of that auction be compared with this one.
Su Chen smiled and said nothing, young man, rare and strange.
Jiang Qianyu, who was on his left, turned his head slightly, watching Jin Qiaoqiao holding Su Chen's right hand, and didn't know why his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Because the antique lots this time were carefully selected by Su Chen and Lin Xiongye, and the quality was very high, there were many buyers bidding for each lot, so the auction was carried out very slowly.
"The auction below is a bronze cloisonnΓ© enamel snuff bottle in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty provided by the Treasure Pavilion, as we all know, the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty was the most peak period of the development of snuff bottle culture...... The starting price is 500,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 50,000 ......"
An hour after the auction was held, the snuff bottle that Su Chen had picked up in the urban village appeared on the auction table.
Speaking of which, for this auction, Lin Xiongye and Su Chen can be said to have taken out all their inventory. Of the 100 lots, 30 were supplied by themselves.
This also made Su Chen very distressed.
You must know that Su Chen and Jin Dashan are different. He genuinely likes antiques, so many times, he would rather not make a penny and collect some more valuable antiques.
For example, the Longshan black pottery.
If this snuff bottle was produced by the Qing Dynasty Manufacturing Office, it is estimated that Su Chen would hesitate when he took it out for auction.
