Chapter 359: Accident
The auction house held by Tangmen has been publicized on the Internet before, and now seeing that the auction is about to begin, these reporters and media are naturally moved.
After Tang Liming asked the driver Xiao Zhang to stop the car in the underground parking lot, he also got out of the car and walked towards the auction house with Cui Ze and Tang Qiyun.
The more than ten members of the Tang Sect who were bodyguards who followed behind Tang Liming also hurriedly followed.
"Ah, that seems to be the chairman of the Tangmen Group?"
"Let's go interview him!"
“……”
A reporter recognized Tang Liming's identity and immediately rushed to him.
Tang Liming's public identity is the chairman of Tangmen Group.
With the gradual whitewashing of the Tang Gate, even most people have gradually forgotten the existence of the underground force of the Tang Gate.
As for Tang Liming's identity as the master of the Tang Sect, only a small number of people who still remember the true details of the Tang Sect know it.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Don't squeeze, stand back!"
“……”
Seeing the more than 20 reporters who flocked to the scene, the members of the Tang Sect who followed behind hurriedly went over and surrounded Tang Liming and the three of them, preventing these reporters from approaching.
They kept an eye on the reporters around them vigilantly to prevent someone from suddenly attacking.
After the news of the Tang Sect's auction of pills, magic weapons and talismans was announced, the Tang Sect was also on the cusp, and now there were many people who wanted to disadvantage Tang Liming, the master of the Tang Sect.
As for Cui Ze who was following Tang Liming, no one was interested in him, after all, there were less than five people who knew Cui Ze's true status in the Tang Sect.
Under the escort of a group of Tang Sect members, Tang Liming, Cui Ze and Tang Qiyun quickly entered the auction house.
Journalists who are not invited are not allowed to enter the auction house, and no one dares to harass them here.
The members of the Tang Sect who were responsible for protecting the safety of the three of them next to them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they were much safer after arriving here.
"Door Master!"
"Mr. Cui, Miss!"
“……”
Seeing Tang Liming and the three of them coming in, more than twenty members of the Tang Sect near the door immediately stepped forward and saluted the three respectfully.
These members of the Tang Sect are mainly responsible for guarding the security of the auction house, reviewing the invitation letters of the people who enter, and preventing unrelated people who have not received the invitation letters from mixing into the auction house.
"Nothing happened here, did you?"
Tang Liming stopped and asked the Tang Sect member who took the lead.
The person asked by Tang Liming was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a strong body, and he should be the captain who was responsible for leading this team of Tang Sect members.
"Nope!"
Hearing Tang Liming's inquiry, the middle-aged man nodded first, and then hesitated slightly: "It seems that there are too few people who come, and less than half of the people on the invitation list have come so far, and many of them are famous and rich." ”
"What? There are so many people who haven't arrived yet!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Tang Liming couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly looked at the time on his watch, and his face suddenly became a little ugly: "Now the auction starts, but there are only less than ten minutes left!"
It stands to reason that it's almost all there by now.
And those who haven't arrived at this time basically won't come.
However, these people had obviously agreed to Tang Men's invitation before, and personally gave an answer that they would definitely be there, but now that so many people suddenly released the pigeons, Tang Liming's face was naturally a little unpleasant.
"Call the people on the list immediately and ask them why they haven't been there yet, and remember to be polite. ”
Tang Liming thought for a moment and instructed the middle-aged man.
The things in Tangmen's auction this time are not unattractive, but now there are so many people who suddenly change their minds and don't come, and there must be some of them.
Tang Liming didn't know how many conspiracies and tricks he had experienced over the years, but at this time he had gradually regained his composure and began to think about remedial strategies.
"Yes, Mr. Cui. ”
Hearing Tang Liming's words, the middle-aged man hurriedly replied.
Tang Liming, Cui Ze and Tang Qiyun continued to move forward and soon entered the auction hall.
The auction house in Tangmen occupies a large area, including two floors above ground and one underground, and each floor has more than 1,000 seats, enough to accommodate more than 3,000 people bidding at the same time.
It's just that at this time, the seats in the auction hall are sparse, and the attendance rate is less than 20%.
Originally, according to Tang Liming's previous prediction, the attendance rate this time could reach at least more than 50%.
Now that attendance is so low, auction prices will definitely be greatly affected.
"Master Tang, it seems that there are not many people coming this time!"
"Tang Liming, will this auction be affected?"
“……”
Tang Liming, who walked in from outside the door, immediately recognized Tang Liming's identity, greeted him one after another, and asked the reason why the number of people was so small.
They all came for the things auctioned by the Tang Gate, but they didn't want this auction to be affected in vain.
Some auctions deliberately inflate the auction price for fear of not being able to sell for a high price, etc., due to a lack of numbers, which will lead to the auction items being unsold, so that they can continue the auction next time when there are more people.
These people who came to the auction were obviously worried that the attendance rate of the auction hall was too low, so Tang Men played such a trick.
"Rest assured, this auction will not be affected, and we will not deliberately raise the price to make the items go unauctioned, please rest assured. ”
Tang Liming hurriedly smiled and explained to everyone.
Although there are too few people coming this time, the auction price of the items will definitely shrink a lot, but of course Tang Liming will not let the auction house of Tangmen do this, otherwise he will smash his own signboard.
Hearing Tang Liming say this, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Tang Liming quickly took Cui Ze and Tang Qiyun to the first row of the auction house, which is also the best position in the entire auction house.
"Mr. Falls, welcome to our Tangmen Auction House, I am Tang Liming, the chairman of Tangmen Group. ”
"Mr. Louis, welcome to you and your family!"
"Boss Ma, thank you for giving us a face for Tangmen and coming over in person!"
“……”
At this time, there were already more than ten people sitting in the first row, and Tang Liming hurriedly stepped forward to greet these people respectfully.
Those who can sit in this position are naturally the world's top richest people, most of whom are Westerners, and there are also two Chinese.
Many people didn't recognize Tang Liming's identity, and after hearing Tang Liming's introduction, these people also got up and shook hands with him.
