Chapter 262: The Yin Family Auction

After leaving the New Century Company, Fang Qi, who was returning to Wanliu Academy, was thinking about how to spend money while driving, and received a call from Yin Keman.

"Hey, Miss Keman called, do you have any advice?" Fang Qi quipped.

"Yo, Mr. Fang is a super busy man, I didn't disturb your old man when I called now, right?" Yin Keman's yin and yang strange voice came.

"Really, I'm driving now, it's inconvenient to answer the phone, why don't you do this first?" Fang Qi said half-laughing, half-serious.

There was a little silence on the other end of the phone, and then the voice rang: "It's boring! Don't joke with you wood, it's not interesting at all! I'm calling you because I have something important to tell you." ”

Fang Qi also put away the playfulness on his face: "Miss Yin, just say something, I'm listening." ”

"I don't know if you've heard of the Yin family's auction?"

"Yin family auction?" Fang Qi has naturally heard that the Yin family, as the largest antique family in China, will hold auctions from time to time, invite celebrities from all over the world to participate, improve their reputation through auctions, and also exhibit some valuable antique treasures.

"Is it difficult to say that the Yin family is going to start holding auctions again?" Fang Qi asked.

"Bingou, you're not too stupid. That's right, the Yin family is going to hold an auction, and the time is just three days away, this auction is a little different from the past, it is jointly held with your Tang Xiang company, so I called you and wanted to ask if you are interested in participating. ”

Fang Qi groaned, Tang Xiang Company, as a new luxury company, needs the help and support of an old force like the Yin family, and the Yin family also needs to use Tang Xiang's momentum to pull the Yin family out of the quagmire. In recent years, the momentum of the luxury industry has not been optimistic, and the specific reasons are many and complex, involving all aspects, and Fang Qi only roughly knows that the market has been in a downturn. In addition, there have been several incidents of insulting luxury companies in the country before, which has exacerbated the hatred of the Chinese people towards the luxury industry.

Fang Qi also doesn't have a good impression of foreign luxury companies, relying on a few stinky money he looks like he can't be beaten, one day he will make these companies prostrate at his feet, Tang Xiang will become a nightmare for all luxury companies, the kind that will be scared to wake up in his dreams.

"Hey, if you don't come, you might as well say something!" Yin Keman's resentful voice came.

Fang Qi came back to his senses and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about it just now, huh...... Okay, I'll definitely participate then. "It just so happens that I don't have anywhere to spend money now, so the appearance of the auction is really dozing off and sending pillows.

"Then it's so happily decided, it's your fault if you don't come then. ”

"Well, I'll be there. Fang Qi hung up the phone, and didn't think that Yin Keman's last sentence was that it was good for him, the other party just took a fancy to his identity, after all, there was a big difference between the presence of the CEO of Tang Xiang Company and the absence of the present.

………… Three days later.

Panjiayuan, the base camp of the Yin family, is also the largest antique trading market in Kyoto, and it is also a famous place in the world. Deep in the core area of the Pan Jiayuan, which is different from the antique overall building, a building similar to an opera house is located here, which is the Yin family's fundamental Pan Yao Auction House.

From morning to afternoon, celebrities from all over the world gather here, and luxury cars of various colors are parked in front of the door, of course, this is only a little bit, and the real elite have their own parking spaces, located in the backyard of the auction house.

Fangqi's parking space is in the second position of the backyard parking lot, and the first location is the exclusive location of the Yin family, which is not open to the public. After parking the car, he got out of the car and opened the door for Chen Shiqian. Today's Chen Shiqian wore a suspender green pleated skirt with a black jacket, and it was still a little cold in Kyoto in April.

Originally, she was a little resistant to coming to this kind of occasion, and in her eyes, this kind of occasion has no use except spending money. But she couldn't bear Fang Qi's soft grinding and hard bubbles, plus she also saw all kinds of extravagant scenes after stepping into the showbiz, plus her good sister Yin Keman here, so she agreed to accompany Fang Qi to come over to have a look, Fang Qi also joked that she was still a conservative petty bourgeoisie.

Fang Qi opened the passenger door, bent his waist at 45 degrees, and said softly: "Chen Daxing, please get out of the car." ”

Chen Shiqian got out of the car, put on the palm of her hand, and then held Fang Qi's right hand, and the two walked out of the parking lot together. As soon as I got out of the parking lot, I saw Yin Keman standing at the back door of the auction house, Yin Keman greeted him and said, "The two of you have finally arrived, but let me wait." ”

Chen Shiqian let go of Fang Qi's arms, grabbed Yin Keman's shoulders, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's all Fang Qi's slow driving, otherwise we would have arrived a long time ago." ”

Fang Qi blinked and didn't speak, okay, this pot can be carried by himself. He looked around, except for a few ordinary members of the Yin family, there was no one else, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Keman, why haven't you seen other high-ranking members of the Yin family?"

"They are all busy organizing the auction, the auction will start immediately, this time is the biggest auction of the Yin family in ten years, there can be no mistakes, so they sent me to receive you, what, Miss Ben is not qualified to receive you in person?"

After speaking, Yin Keman glared at Fang Qi and pretended to be angry, and so did Chen Shiqian, who had the same hatred for the enemy.

Fang Qi spread his hands and said, "What's the matter, it's just a curiosity to ask." ”

"Hmph. Yin Keman snorted, raised his head proudly and said: "I have taken over most of the affairs of the Yin family, and I will be the head of the Yin family in a few years, so major matters are usually my appearance now." ”

When she said this, she naturally secretly gave Fang Qi enough face, and the so-called major thing was not to meet Fang Qi.

Fang Qi was silent when he heard this, I am afraid that Yin Keman was scheduled to be the next head of the Yin family at such a young age, and he was also a daughter, which had a lot to do with him. The Fang Group is now the Yin family's biggest reliance, and since the Yin family cooperated with him, the Xiao family, who could still compete with the Yin family, has become more and more declining, and is completely overwhelmed by the Yin family.

The three of them walked into the auction house and went to the VIP private room on the second floor, from which they could overlook the whole picture of the entire auction house, and the place where they were in front of the auction house was the center of the auction table. Fang Qi and Chen Shiqian sat on delicate bamboo chairs, with flower-scented flower baskets and fruits on the table, and of course, a cup of freshly soaked Da Hong Pao. If there is any demand, champagne and red wine vodka, any drink can be delivered at any time, even down to a few degrees of temperature, it can be done accurately, this is the Yin family's way of hospitality.

It was still a little early, and after waiting for a long time, the auction officially began at 8 o'clock in the evening.

An old man with crane hair and a childish face walked up to the auction table neatly dressed, and behind him stood a waitress wearing a cheongsam, the old man first bowed to the VIP of the private room on the second floor, and then greeted the guests on the first floor, and said in a vicissitudes of life and magnetic voice: "Welcome to the auction of the family, I feel honored." First of all, I would like to introduce myself, I am Yin Yishan, the former head of the Yin family, and I am also the host of this auction.

Next, the auction begins!"

As Yin Yishan's voice fell, a square was revealed on the ground in the center of the auction table, a booth slowly rose from the ground, and a crystal box lay quietly on the booth, which contained the first auction item.

"First of all, let's make it clear to the big guys that the auction will be based on the principle of fairness and justice, and the unit price of each bid shall not be less than 10,000 yuan. Well, the first auction item is a jade snuff bottle, dated to the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, which is the top grade of the snuff bottle, with a starting price of 3 million. ”

Fang Qi's eyesight is excellent, and he can clearly see the appearance of the snuff bottle on the booth, which is indeed elaborately crafted, and reveals a sense of historical vicissitudes, which is really a rare work of art, but he is not much interested in snuff bottles, so he has no idea of auctioning.

But he didn't want to shoot, there were other interested people, and as soon as Yin Yishan's voice fell, someone said: "3.1 million!"

"3.2 million!"

"3.5 million!"

…… In the end, the snuff bottle was sold at a price of 4.1 million, which is neither high nor low, and it is within the normal range.

The following auction of several items, both domestic and foreign, are all excellent artworks, Fang Qi is also dazzled, just listening to the stories behind these artworks feel eye-opening, feel that this trip is not in vain.

"The seventh item to be auctioned next is really a priceless treasure, and the Yin family hesitated for a long time before deciding to put it up for auction, that is, Vacheron Constantin's watch!

Vacheron Constantin watches, fully handmade mechanical watches, made of 18K rose gold, double dial design, and unique guillochΓ© dial decoration, the most rare and valuable thing is that there are only seven watches in the world, all with their own unique numbers, this one is the number seven!

The moment Fang Qi saw this watch, he was attracted to the past, and it happened that he was short of a good watch, and this Vacheron Constantin watch came at the right time, so he decided to take a picture of this watch. On the side, Chen Shiqian saw Fang Qi's demeanor and smiled: "Qi, do you want to buy this watch?"

Fang nodded and said: "It is said that a successful man must have a beloved watch, which is as important as a woman's cosmetic jewelry bag, I decided to take a picture of this watch." ”。

"Vacheron Constantin watches, which I have heard of, are the culmination of craftsmanship among handmade watches, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the first. The other six watches are in the hands of the world's top celebrities, the second of which is in the hands of the British Imperial Royalty, the sixth in the hands of the Dubai Royal Family, and the third in the hands of the Rockefeller family, the oil family of the Jianhe Empire, and I don't know the rest. ”

When Fang Qi heard this, he strengthened the idea in his heart, this watch belongs to him!
