Chapter Twenty-Six: The Auction
Yaohua Hotel.
Tonight, it's going to be a very lively place.
There will be an auction on the third floor of the hotel. This time, the organizer is Ningxin Auction House, which has a rule that when the consignor entrusts the auction item, he must accept 30% of the auction funds for charity.
Therefore, in this auction, in addition to inviting the leading figures in Ninghai City, Yang Yuande, the director of the Charity Association, was also invited to notarize and take away the donations.
Before the official start of the auction party, a cocktail party was specially prepared for people to communicate with each other.
Chu Xiong, chairman of Chu's Group, also came to the scene.
However, he has been following Director Yang's side.
"Lao Yang, just tell me, okay? Who did Chu Tianwang offend?
"You still don't want to ask, you really can't afford to mess with this sacred!" Director Yang frowned, not only did he call or send people in the past two days, but the Chu Group had harassed him several times.
Today, even the chairman of the Chu Group has personally come forward.
"Lao Yang, are you laughing at me Chu Xiong? My Chu Group has been through ups and downs for decades, what kind of big man has not seen it?"
Director Yang snorted coldly, glanced at Chu Xiong with disdain and said, "That's just in Ninghai!"
"Old Yang, you...."
"You're going too far, huh! You just leak it, what's the matter? Are you still afraid that my Chu family will retaliate against him?" Chu Xiong pretended to be angry.
Director Yang was dismissive.
"I'm still afraid that you will retaliate against him, I'm afraid that your Chu family will disappear completely. ”
"Say don't ask, don't ask. Let's think about how to take a picture of the blue and white porcelain vase you like today!"
After Director Yang finished speaking, he walked to other places under Chu Xiong's resentful gaze.
Eight o'clock arrived.
A few lights hit the stage, and the crowd began to turn their eyes to the stage with their wine glasses.
The host takes the stage.
"Distinguished guests, friends, good evening!"
"Welcome to the auction party organized by Ningxin Auction House, and our auction will officially start soon. ”
"Every consignor of the auction money expressed their willingness to use 30% of the final transaction price for charity, and Director Yang of the Charity Association will notarize the final donation. ”
"At the same time, Ningxin Auction House is here to assure everyone that every item auctioned is genuine. ”
"Okay! Then let's have the first lot!"
The staff of the auction house walked onto the stage with a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and the auctioneer tapped a hammer on the small table next to him and began to introduce it.
This calligraphy and painting is a picture of a horse painted by the modern painter Mr. Guo Mo, and it is also the last horse he painted during his lifetime, and its preciousness is self-evident. The starting price is 500,000 yuan, and the bidding price is not less than 50,000 yuan each time. ”
"You can start bidding. ”
Under the stage, one voice after another kept ringing.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
“.......”
At this time, in a small restaurant in an alley outside the Yew Wah Hotel, Ye Wuwu drank the last sip of soup in the bowl and said, "Let's go! The auction has almost begun, right?"
Gong Yuan replied, "At the beginning, that blue and white porcelain vase from your father's collection will be auctioned as the third lot. ”
When they walked to the third floor of the Yew Wah Hotel.
The time card is just right!
A blue and white porcelain vase the size of an ordinary vase, which has just been moved to the stage.
The auctioneer said: "Our third lot is this blue and white porcelain vase, which was made from the Qing Dynasty. Although not as rare as the blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty has undergone a total of two restorations. But its collectible significance is still very high. The starting price is 300,000 yuan, and the bidding price shall not be less than 50,000 yuan each time. ”
Chu Xiong couldn't wait to raise his wine glass and shouted, "Four hundred thousand!"
directly added 100,000, and it can be seen that Chu Xiong loves this vase.
Seeing Chu Xiong bargaining, several people standing next to him gathered around Chu Xiong and said jokingly: "It seems that Boss Chu's love for blue and white porcelain has not changed!"
Chu Xiong took a sip of wine gently, looking leisurely and complacent.
As one of the five major families in Ninghai City, the Chu Group heard its own bidding, and the people present had to give themselves a face!
"One hundred million!"
A loud voice came from the gate.
It was loud and everyone could hear it clearly.
But at this time, they were not sure whether they really heard clearly.
The whole auction was silent all at once.
They all looked back at the gate of the venue.
Ye Wuwu straightened his body, followed by Gong Yuan, and walked in along the middle aisle.
"How much did he just say?" someone in the crowd asked the person next to him, confused.
"I think it's 100 million!"
"Really, I thought I misheard!"
"You heard it right! It's indeed 100 million!" it was Director Yang who spoke, and after he looked at Ye Wuwu who came in, he said to the people around him who were puzzled.
The auctioneer was also stunned.
Ye Wuwu continued: "Isn't it time to ask if anyone has increased the price?"
"Ahh
Gong Yuan replied loudly: "What the commander just said is 100 million!"
What? 100 million, really!
Gong Yuan's words again made everyone talk about it.
Who is this?
A Qing Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase that had been restored twice was actually bid for 100 million.
Is he too stupid to have a lot of money, or is he deliberately trying to make trouble?
Chu Xiong stood up with a sneer with a wine glass.
"Sir, are you here to make trouble, or do you really like this blue and white porcelain vase?"
Ye Wuwu glanced at him coldly, and said lightly: "Why are you asking so much? ”
"You .....," Chu Xiong held his wine glass, and suddenly choked anger.
"I'm thinking about the smooth progress of the whole auction, anyone can call 100 million, not only 100 million, 1 billion, 10 billion is a matter of one sentence, but to really be able to come up with so much money, it's not just as simple as just calling it. ”
"If you can't take it out, then the consequences of making trouble here are not something you can imagine!" Chu Xiong's words were very threatening.
Ye Wuwu tilted his head at Gong Yuan, and Gong Yuan held a card and handed it to the staff of the auction house.
"Xia Yang Bank?" the staff member asked.
Gong Yuan didn't bother urging: "What bank do you care, just try to see if you can make the money." There is no password. ”
Forced by the momentum of Gong Yuan, the staff took the bank card to the backstage.
After a while, the staff respectfully held the bank card back.
The auctioneer asked, "How much money is in it?"
The staff replied, "I don't know, I can't see the limit!" It's a credit card. ”
When Chu Xiong heard this, he waved his big hand and shouted angrily: "It's really ridiculous, credit card." What credit card can have a limit of 100 million. Don't hurry up and call someone to blast him out. ”
"But..." The staff continued to whin: "I tried to swipe a transfer of 100 million yuan just now, and it was successfully received!"
What! Chu Xiong's arrogant appearance immediately became extremely embarrassed, and he was stunned on the spot.
The crowd was talking louder, and they kept sticking their heads to look at the bank card in Gong Yuan's hand.
The auctioneer coughed, his tone very respectful.
"Sir, I apologize to you on behalf of Ningxin Auction House for delaying your time. At the same time, if you do not win the bid today, the refund fee will be paid by us Ning Xin Auction. ”
Ye Wuwu did not answer. The auctioneer works into the normal working procedures.
"100 million once! ”
"One hundred million twice!"
"I'll give 110 million!" Chu Xiong trembled and stretched out his wine glass, angry.
Seeing Chu Xiong continue to bargain, Director Yang muttered in a voice in the crowd that no one else could hear: "This old horseman has to hit the iron." ”
"Two hundred million!" Ye Wuwu said lightly again.
Dead silence again, no sound at all.
"Ahh Hmm.."
Suddenly, in the middle of the venue, a person's chest suddenly lifted and fell to the ground limply.
The auctioneer was awakened and at the same time screamed to the staff.
"Go and help Mr. Li down, he is the client of this vase. ”
Gong Yuan silently looked at Mr. Li, who was helping him down, and remembered his appearance in his mind.
Then!
Chu Xiong trembled and raised his hand again, with his current net worth, it was still easy to take out a few hundred million, but he had never let others crush him like this, and he didn't give him any face at all, so that the anger in his chest was already running around.
"Two hundred and ten million!"
"Three hundred million!"
"Poof!" Chu Xiong didn't take a breath, and blood spurted out.
The chairman of the group of the dignified Chu Consortium, for the sake of only 300 million, was so angry that he vomited blood.
If this gets out, it will definitely be one of the funniest jokes in Ninghai City this year.
Ye Wuwu indifferently glanced at Chu Xiong, who was lying on the ground twitching, and sneered: "For three hundred million, as for it?"
Then, he held out his hand to the auctioneer, his palm slightly bent upward.
"Please continue!"
There was still a person lying on the ground, and the auctioneer sped up his process.
No one asks for the price anymore, and the hammer falls!
"Quick! Contact the doctor and the people of the Chu family. ”
It was his job to ring the hammer, and he didn't want the auction house to get into trouble.
Although there must be trouble now.
But while trying not to offend the guests, this person who is bound to cause trouble still has to be worried.
You can't let this trouble continue to grow, can you?
In case the chairman of the Chu Group dies here, it will be really difficult to do.
"This little brother is in big trouble today. ”
"That's right! I actually got on the bar with Chu Xiong, this is in Ninghai, and some things can't be settled with money. ”
At this time, Director Yang walked out of the noisy crowd and came to Ye Wuwu's side and whispered.
"Mr. Ye, you'd better get out of here first! staying here will delay your time. ”
"No one can leave for the time being! If anyone leaves here without permission, they will not be able to get along with the Chu family!" the panicked driver ran into the venue and shouted loudly.
"Commander?" Gong Yuan came to Ye Wuwu's side with a blue and white porcelain vase, waiting for instructions.
"Don't panic yet, let's talk to the client of this blue and white porcelain vase!"
