18. Auctions

Ahem, in fact, Su Mingzheng just wants to show that he has a good attitude, and everyone should pay attention to etiquette in this kind of place.

With Su Mingzheng's traction, the two approached a conference hall on the third floor, this conference hall is currently the only place where Su Ronghan hears the most voices and sees the most people in the entire building.

There was a counter at the entrance of the conference hall, and the hostess, dressed in a tuxedo and wearing white gloves on her hands, greeted the two softly and politely.

Su Mingzheng took out a card from the thin wallet and handed it to the welcome lady, and soon changed it to a number plate with red letters on a white background, Su Ronghan saw that the card was not the most seen credit card today, but an ID card, what activities need to confirm identity? The number plate said 22.

"This is today's auction catalogue, please refer to it. The welcome lady held a book with a brightly designed and beautifully printed cover.

Hearing the key words, Su Ronghan suddenly raised her head, looked for it, and saw a sign with white letters on a brown background on the other side of the entrance, which read: "Private Collection Auction." The small art design is white, not ostentatious at all.

Sister, you said you want to help me buy something, do you need to buy it at the auction...?

Su Ronghan felt like she was about to explode.

The uneasiness in my heart is completely inflated.

Regardless of whether her sister was about to explode, whether she was like a dangerous hydrogen balloon, her heart was tumbling and undulating, anyway, Su Mingzheng didn't know at all, she elegantly found a position for the two of them to sit down slightly in the center.

The whole occasion was very orderly, even if someone wanted to talk to each other, the volume would be lowered so as not to cause trouble to others, and the lights in the auditorium of the conference hall were not very bright, so that the bidders would not see each other too clearly, but the stage in front of them was bright and dazzling.

"Sister......" Su Ronghan finally couldn't hold it back, and her low voice was a little hoarse: "Isn't this too exaggerated...?"

"Why do we buy things ......" bought at auction...... Su Ronghan wanted to say it loudly, but the occasion was too depressing, and there was no way to do it.

The so-called auction is not the kind of place where the super rich are very expensive and expensive, and they compete with each other? Do you need to go to this kind of place to buy things for me? I am completely unprepared!

"Don't overthink it. Su Mingzheng stretched out his hand to smooth the hair of the little white rabbit again, and saw that she seemed to be really about to blow up her hair, so he continued.

"It's just a casual auction where people exchange interesting collectibles. It's really not a high-consumption place!" Su Mingzheng explained directly.

"Take a look at the catalogue, if you have anything you like, we'll bid for it. ”

"Look, it's only tens of thousands......!

"I don't want it!" Su Ronghan lowered her head and stubbornly refused. Today, I have spent too much money on my sister, and I am not really being adopted.

"Ahem," seeing the stubborn and arrogant sister, although Su Mingzheng felt a little cute, he still had to deceive, "The rule here is to pay the deposit before bidding, I have already transferred money before I came, if I don't buy anything, the deposit can't be recovered." ”

"What!" Su Ronghan, who was still burying her head as an ostrich, looked up at Su Mingzheng in a panic, making Su Mingzheng feel a little weak.

"Really?" Su Ronghan was really nervous.

"How much is the margin?" she asked weakly.

"Fifty thousand. Maintaining a calm attitude, Su Mingzheng compared five with his palm. In fact, it's really that number.

"Ah......h

Su Mingzheng silently poked at his sister with the auction catalogue.

"That's... Buy it......" The girl took the book, turned the first page, and the difficult posture was more difficult than letting a child who didn't like to read open the textbook, and after a minute, as if she suddenly thought of a way, she raised her head again and looked at Su Mingzheng, her eyes were bright, "Sister, what do you want?" Seeing that she wanted Su Mingzheng to buy things by herself.

Su Mingzheng leaned his elbow on the back of the chair in the front row, supported his chin with the back of his hand, turned sideways to look down at his sister who was reading a book, and looked at her expression.

"Is it so difficult?" Sister's slightly stern tone made Su Ronghan not know how to answer, and her heart beat faster.

"Do you regard the Su family you live in now as your home?"

"If it's your own home, your own room, why don't you want to furnish it?"

Su Mingzheng suddenly sat up straight, retracted his gaze, and stroked the top of Su Ronghan's head.

"A lot of the fun in life is saved in your own home, especially in your own room, and you should try to experience this fun. ”

Such philosophical words naturally floated out of Su Mingzheng's mouth, and he unconsciously persuaded Su Ronghan. Su Ronghan, who always lives in a rented house and keeps the simplest furniture at all times, really didn't think about this kind of reason.

"Pick two decorations for your room, all right? An undecorated room looks like a girl's room. ”

Hiding her expression with her head down, Su Ronghan secretly bent the corners of her mouth, how could she feel sweet in her heart.

Sister, she is so indulgent to me, and finally softened her tone to persuade her, which is not at all different from the beginning, Su Ronghan couldn't help but think in her heart.

"I know!" Su Ronghan straightened her back and nodded solemnly, like a hard-working child saying that she would work hard, but then she blinked and smiled again, "Sister, you just said that you lied to me, right?"

Su Mingzheng opened his lips slightly, "Did you find out?"

"If it were true, you wouldn't have persuaded me otherwise. "It will only directly and continuously raise 50,000 yuan to oppress others to obey.

"Hey, I occasionally want to say something philosophical to show my quality. ”

"Sister," Su Ronghan looked at her sister diligently.

"What?" I didn't lie to anything else, that is, the deposit will actually be refunded like this.

"I treat the Su family as my own. The girl's eyes were shining, very direct, very stubborn, and she grabbed Su Mingzheng and didn't let go.

Seeing Su Mingzheng shy, this is really a rare chance. Why do you look at people like that? She secretly complained in her stomach.

Su Ronghan looked at the catalogue with relish, Su Mingzheng also became happy when she saw such a scene, and when her sister came over to tell her what she liked, she followed her, and the two sisters whispered.

"I love this, it's so cute. Su Ronghan pointed to a penguin in the catalogue.

"I'll seeβ€”" Su Mingzheng identified the penguin's material, "The obsidian body, the white crystal belly, the black pearl eyes, and the silver claws should be these materials." "The important thing is that this penguin is carved in a cute way, and a small red scarf is specially wrapped around it in the catalogue, which is especially Christmas-like.

"Sister, can you recognize these gems?" raised her eyebrows in surprise, Su Ronghan confirmed again that there were only pictures on this page of the catalogue, and there was no material description. She turned the next page, and the creative material in the explanation turned out to be exactly what Su Mingzheng said, just right.

"A little bit about gemstones. Su Mingzheng curled the corners of his mouth stubbornly. Actually, these are not precious gems, but the creator's intentions make it a lovely piece.

There are also many gemstone-related arts in the catalogue, including jadeite, tourmaline, emerald, yellow colored diamond, ruby, and sapphire, but Su Ronghan's second selection is:

"This is so weird, a fish fossil? a real fossil? It was said to be 50 million years ago in the Eocene, so ancientβ€”"

"Do you like animals?" Su Mingzheng laughed at his sister's cuteness, and the two things he picked were related to animals.

Su Ronghan was a little surprised at first, but nodded soon.

"Then would you want to have a pet?" "Do white rabbits have white rabbits?" or cats and dogs?

The little white rabbit shook his head vigorously and replied seriously: "Actually, what I like is wild animals, and what I really like should be: nature." ”

"Well, when you're done with college, why don't you take you and my friends on a wild camping trip? My jeep is useful when I'm out in the field. Hey, you've got a few months to finish the exam?"

"Hmm... There are still eight months left...... "The exam will be in July next year, and it's only the end of October now."

"I'll have to wait until then. "Camping always requires a few days of vacation, so it's not suitable to abduct people before the exam. "It's going to be so long, you don't have to work too hard every day, it doesn't matter if I take you out like I did today. ”

In the whispers of the sisters, the auction begins, and an old uncle with gray hair but witty speech in a tuxedo walks onto the stage.

In the introduction of the auction items that he easily carried, the effect of advertising the auction items was not lost, and the auction process was quickly launched.

When it was Su Ronghan's turn to choose the Brazilian jewel bird, Su Mingzheng pulled his sleeves and made a posture of preparing for battle.

At the real auction, a young man also fell in love with the penguin, maybe he wanted to buy it as a gift for his girlfriend, and it was particularly murderous to grab it.

"The 22nd has a price increase. ”

"The 39th is increased once. The moderator followed the offer.

What made Su Ronghan panic was that she didn't even shout the price, didn't she shout how much it would increase in the TV series? Why is it just silently holding up the card here. She secretly pulled Su Mingzheng's sleeve, "Sister, how much does it cost to raise a card once?"

"The rule is 10% of the reserve price. "It's too noisy to shout a price every time, and the auction usually requires everyone to hold up their signs.

Su Mingzheng held up the sign again.

The reserve price of the penguin is 6,000 yuan, and the 10% is 600 yuan, Su Ronghan's heart fluctuated with the price of 600 yuan and 500 yuan, and it seemed that it was beating irregularly.

"The price was increased once on the 22nd, and now the highest price is 7,800 yuan on the 22nd. "When the host is a host, you have to know how to do mental arithmetic and remember the price clearly at any time. Of course, the staff behind the scenes will also remind him.

At this time, the No. 39 had already glared at Su Mingzheng with his eyes, but Miss Su was not afraid of spending money, and she calmly raised the number plate again without hesitation after the man raised the price.

"9,000 yuan, is there anything higher than 9,000?"

The man raised his card again with difficulty.

Miss Su is not informal, whether it is 10 million yuan at the charity dinner auction or 10,000 yuan here, it is all regarded on the same scale of combat readiness, and she finally shouted the price.

"$12,000. "It's not impossible to shout the price in person, but it's just that it's a little arrogant on this occasion, and it's easy to attract everyone's attention, and it will be embarrassing if you don't mark it in the end.

Number 39 finally gave up......

Miss Su, who was arrogantly shouting the price, sat down again, and knocked down the gavel after listening to the host's announcement three times proudly.

Although 600 yuan was more than half a week's pocket money, and it was spent between holding up signs, Su Ronghan was even more excited: the auction seemed to be fun, and she decided to raise the cards herself next time.
