Chapter 57: The Auction
All the characters are recuperating and ready to participate in the next day's auction.
During this period, Xiao Wuyang called twice, asking about the results of Zhao Yan's conversation with Qiao Yaxi.
Zhao Yan just reassured him that what he promised him would definitely be done.
The auction venue is located in a 5A-level scenic spot on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the environment is not to say.
As early as half a month ago, the scenic spot was temporarily suspended from receiving tourists in the name of closing the mountain and cultivating forests.
Ordinary people who don't have a way would never have thought that the grand event that would be held here.
Before leaving, there was a joke.
Xiao Wuyang insisted on asking Zhou Ji to take the two of them, and Xue Qingyan had to pull Yang Zhixin with him. The two argued with each other at Zhao Yan's gate.
Zhao Yan saw that the two were arguing, so he said to Xi Ni: "Since you are not willing to give in, let's take a taxi......
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Zhixin: "Who wants to go with you! When will Miss Ben listen to your arrangement?"
Zhao Yan was stunned.
Over there, Xue Qingyan had already shown a triumphant smile, pulled Yang Zhixin into her car, and walked away.
Zhou Ji didn't dare to trespass, so he could only weakly ask Zhao Yan's opinion: "Mr. Zhao, how can this be good?"
"It's okay, don't worry about them, we're still worried about which ones don't open their eyes and will provoke them. After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he locked the door and set off with Zhou Ji.
It takes two hours from Jiangcheng to the scenic spot, after entering the scenic spot, it is more than an hour to drive along the winding mountain road, and it is almost noon to arrive at the destination, an antique mountain villa.
But the parking lot outside the villa is not antique at all, there are hundreds of luxury cars in a dazzling array of cars, Audi and BMW, etc., can only be regarded as the bottom level, even Zhou Ji's Daben is not on the table. There are six or seven supercars of the same grade as Zhu Qixiang's Ferrari.
As for top luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Maybach, there are actually two or three.
"It seems that the rich people around this Jiangcheng have gathered here. Zhao Yan thought to himself.
Under the guidance of Zhou Ji, the welcoming waiter respectfully led the two in.
Entering the gate, it is like a luxurious private garden. The pavilions and water pavilions, hidden among the red flowers and green trees, are very elegantly arranged, and the mountains and temple towers in the distance are deliberately included in the composition, and it is obvious that the designer has hills and valleys in mind.
"The Star Pavilion is really good at choosing a place. Zhao Yan couldn't help but admire, this garden is higher than those small courtyards in Yundu Mountain, and it is so high that I don't know where to go.
Zhou Ji heard Zhao Yan's muttering, and said suspiciously: "Star Picking Pavilion? ”
Zhao Yan waved his hand and diverted the topic: "It's nothing." ”
It seems that the behind-the-scenes stories that Qiao Yaxi told him yesterday did not know Zhou Ji's identity in Xiao Wuyang's group.
Seeing that Zhao Yan didn't answer, Zhou Ji also stopped asking questions with interest, and just followed Zhao Yan to walk in quickly.
Passing through the promenade, there is a large compound inside, about the size of two basketball courts.
At this time, a platform has been erected in the direction of the main hall in the courtyard, and a large number of chairs are placed opposite the platform, forming a small meeting place.
Everyone greeted each other in groups, and it was obvious that the vast majority of people had not seen this kind of scene for the first time.
Zhao Yan looked left and right, there were many familiar faces in the crowd, such as Matt, who had regained his appearance of dragging 2580,000 yuan, such as Cai Minghui, no matter who he greeted, he was smiling; and even Ammon Aiqi's father and son, as well as Zhu Qixiang, were all here.
"Who are you looking for?"
The voice that suddenly appeared behind him made Zhao Yan startled, and he subconsciously wanted to attack with a backhand.
Then, reason regained possession of his brain, and he forced his hand to rest in the air.
Except for Yang Zhixin, no one could get within two meters of him without him noticing.
"What's the matter, don't you play with your little apprentice?"
"Those people are boring, there is not even half a sentence in ten sentences, and it is disgusting to listen to. ”
Yang Zhixin's face was full of disdain, and she casually found a place to sit down, and Zhao Yan sat next to her.
After a while, Zhou Ji led Xiao Wuyang and Ji Huaijie over.
"Everyone, don't be impatient. ”
On the stage, there was a middle-aged man with a short and fat stature, glasses and an inch head, with a smile on his face.
He didn't use the microphone, but everyone present heard his voice clearly, and they all fell silent.
"My name is Xu Yachuan, and I am the host of this auction......"
As Xu Yachuan introduced himself, everyone sat down one after another, and the auction officially began.
The first treasure is a swarthy and inconspicuous brand, but it has a resounding name: Xuanmu Nine Palace Bagua Card.
"This card, carved by the skilled craftsmen of the Central Plains, and then poured into the secret method by the tantric master of the Western Regions, is the supreme treasure of Pudu sentient beings, breaking the nameless, living in the town, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, whether it is hung on the door or in the house at home, or worn on the body when traveling, it can play its wonderful use, prevent natural and man-made disasters, turn danger into safety, increase good karma and endlessly, solve the source of evil and disasters and make it easy......"
Xu Yachuan's eloquence was quite inflammatory, and with his eloquent explanation, some people were soon eager to try.
Of course, they know that the treasures used to warm up the scene are not necessarily the best, but they also know that those heavy lots of the finale cannot fall on their heads at all.
Rather than risk offending people and bidding with the real bigwigs, it's better to settle for the next best thing and target these things.
"The starting price, one million! The price increase is limited to 100,000, and there is no upper limit!"
With Xu Yachuan's order, everyone bidd.
"One million and two million!"
"One and a half million!"
Yang Zhixin only glanced at the brand, and then said with disdain: "Stupid! This kind of thing, Miss Ben can make dozens of them at will!"
Zhao Yan half-jokingly said: "Really, it's better for the eldest lady to open my eyes, maybe I can sell it for a good price." ”
Yang Zhixin turned her head and narrowed her eyes dangerously.
There was a soft click, and the armrest of the rosewood seat had been grabbed by her like pinching tofu.
"It's just right, Miss Ben doesn't like to take advantage of others, so she should pay back your room money and meal money!"
Zhao Yan turned to Xiao Wuyang and asked in a low voice, "Can you sell treasures here?"
Xiao Wuyang's reply was affirmative: "You can sell it, but it has to pass through the eyes of their people." ”
When the two were talking, Yang Zhixin had already stretched out her index finger and was quickly drawing on the broken wood chips.
The hard rosewood, like a piece of plasticine in her hands, was easily carved into shape, and soon became a delicate pendant carved with the auspicious pattern of the dragon and phoenix.
At this time, the Jiugong Bagua card had just been bought at a price of six million.
