Chapter XVIII
Back at the jewelry store, Zhang Yang glanced at the jewelry store that was normally open, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned, he clearly remembered that because of those thieves, the store was in chaos, and many things were destroyed, but now they are intact......
"Zhang Yang, you're finally back, where have you been in the past two days? I called you, but I haven't answered, but after the last reporter's exposure, now our store is doing very well. Yang Xiaojie saw that Zhang Yang was intact, put down the worries in her heart, and her face was full of excitement.
"Uh...... My cousin was going back to work in the next two days, so I sent her back. Zhang Yang made an excuse to prevaricate this matter.
"That's right, Zhang Yang, because our jewelry store is now quite famous, so this year's jewelry auction in Linjiang City sent us an invitation, I hope we will also participate, the auction time is this afternoon, should we go?" Yang Xiaojie tilted her head and asked Zhang Yang, as if she was afraid that he would not agree, and did not forget to explain: "If we participate in the auction house this time, it will also help our jewelry store to become famous in the future." ”
"Well, then let's go and see, we don't have the money to buy any treasures anyway, so let's just take it as an appreciation, hehe." Zhang Yang didn't think much about the thieves before, and agreed.
At noon, Zhang Yang and Yang Xiaojie simply had lunch in a jewelry store, and the two took a taxi to Linjiang Hotel.
Linjiang Hotel, in the whole Linjiang City is very famous, generally there is any large-scale banquet, will choose here, it can be said that Linjiang Hotel is almost all the upper class people enter the place.
"Hello, please show me the invitation. Zhang Yang and Yang Xiaojie had just walked to the door when they were stopped by two waiters and asked with professional smiles.
"Dogs look down on people!" After Yang Xiaojie took out the invitation, seeing that a touch of apology immediately appeared on the faces of the two, Zhang Yang couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
The two waiters seemed to have become accustomed to it, even in the face of Zhang Yang's abuse, they didn't pay attention to it, just smiled slightly.
"Okay, don't be embarrassed for them, they work hard too. Yang Xiaojie saw that Zhang Yang was unhappy, so she immediately hugged his arm and comforted.
"Wool is working hard, then when they came in before, why didn't these two guys ask them for an invitation? This is obviously looking down on us!" Zhang Yang pointed to a man and a woman in front of him with some unhappiness, and said to Yang Xiaojie beside him.
"May I ask if you just said that we are talking about?" Suddenly, a man and a woman in front of Zhang Yang turned around, and the young man looked at Zhang Yang with disdain on his face and smiled.
"That's what I'm talking about, what's wrong?, you have the ability to bite me?!" Zhang Yang has been in an extremely unhappy mood these days, he has always been yin, and now this guy still looks down on him, so how can he calm down.
"I really don't know how that guy Zhang would invite someone like you to participate in this auction......
"My dear, don't be like them, don't we bite us back if the dog bites us?" said the woman beside the young man, smiling.
"Haha, yes, let's go, let's hurry inside, the auction should start soon. ”
……
Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Zhang Yang's face was a little ugly.
Entering the auction house, Zhang Yang and Long Xing admired some antiques and jewelry in the hall, the auction house is divided into two floors, the first floor is the hall where Zhang Yang is located, there is a high platform and a row of chairs in the center, and the second floor is some private rooms.
"Poof, just this piece of imperial green, embarrassed to put it in the hall? Suddenly, Zhang Yang pointed to an imperial green in the glass window in front of him and said with a smile.
"Oh, then you can tell me, why did this imperial green kill you to death?" Just as Yang Xiaojie was about to speak, an old man's voice came from behind the two of them and asked.
Looking at the voice, an old man looked at him with a smile, raised his brows and frowned slightly, and said: "This is obviously a fake imperial green, well, to be precise, half of it should be fake, and half of it is true, but I don't know which master actually fits this real and fake imperial green seamlessly, if it is an ordinary person, I really can't see the problem." ”
"You're coming to our auction house for the first time, right?" the old man smiled, not seemingly caring about the problem that Zhang Yang pointed out.
"How do you know?" Zhang Yang looked surprised, who was this old man, and he could see at a glance that he was coming to the auction house for the first time.
"If you've been here before, you should know that this imperial green is the work of Wang Lao, a famous treasure connoisseur in our Linjiang City, and in order to commemorate him, this imperial green has been placed in our auction house for exhibition. The old man didn't care about Zhang Yang's rudeness, and slowly explained to him.
"That...... I'm really embarrassed......" Zhang Yang scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
He didn't expect this imperial green to have such a background, he used to learn about jewelry on the Internet, he had seen the description of the old Wang; the evaluation on the Internet, about this old Wang is definitely the master of the jewelry industry, whether it is antiques or jewelry, you can appreciate the authenticity at a glance.
"Alright, the auction is about to begin, and I'll have to get busy, and next time we have time, let's talk about treasure connoisseurship. After the old man finished speaking, he left.
"Hey, Zhang Yang, I didn't expect you to be so lucky, just a casual sentence actually attracted Wen Lao, and it seems that Wen Lao's impression of you is not bad. Yang Xiaojie's face was full of excitement after the old man left, and seeing that Zhang Yang seemed a little puzzled, she took a deep breath and continued: "Wen Lao can be said to be the master in the jewelry store after Wang Lao, and even his words can determine the rise and fall of a jewelry store with a single gesture. ”
"Such a bull X?" Zhang Yang secretly stammered, he didn't expect to know such a bull X to the extreme.
……
It didn't take long for the auction to officially begin, and according to the position on the invitation, Zhang Yang and Yang Xiaojie sat in the back chairs in the center of the hall.
In the first row, there was a table in front of each person's position, on which some tea was placed, Zhang Yang glanced at the past, and on the first row, there was the pair of young men and women they met when they entered the hall before, as well as Yang Xiaojie's father, Yang Guozhong.
"This year's auction will be hosted by me, I will not talk nonsense, the following will enter the auction link, the first piece of jewelry is a crescent pendant, using the king of jade in the imperial green, was also a piece of jewelry worn by the queen of the Qing Dynasty, the starting price starts at one million, and the price increase is not less than 100,000 each time. Wen Lao stood on the high platform and held a delicate plate brought by a waiter in his hand.
The 360-degree needle-eye camera on the table directly magnifies which crescent moon pendant is inside the plate on the screen, so that everyone can see it clearly.
"It's beautiful. As the jewel enlarged, for a moment, all the women in the audience couldn't help but sigh.
"I'll give two million!" In the middle of the scene, a middle-aged man suddenly got up and shouted loudly;
"Sabby, two million want to buy an imperial green ...... of the Qing Dynasty" Suddenly, the young man sitting in the first row looked at the middle-aged man with disdain on his face.
"You ......" The middle-aged man heard his words, his face turned red, he can sit here, indicating that he also has some identity, although he is very unhappy in his heart, but the identity of the other party is definitely not something he can offend, with a little unhappy, he can only sit down, not speaking.
"Five million!" said someone at this time.
"Seven Million ......"
"Eight Million ......"
"Ten million!"
……
"It's really a group of people who have money and no land to spend, although this imperial green was worn by the queen of the Qing Dynasty, but because of the difference in time, there are some flaws, and it can only be worth 10 million at most. At this time, Yang Xiaojie couldn't help but whisper.
"I'll give 20 million. Suddenly, Wang Peng, the young man sitting in the first row, got up and said to everyone with a smile on his face: "If everyone sells me Wang Peng a face, let it be given to me, who makes my woman like it." ”
As soon as Wang Peng's words came out, for a moment, everyone stopped talking; after all, they are not fools, they all know the true value of this imperial green, Wang Peng paid 20 million, if they still increase the price, not only offended Wang Peng, but also not cost-effective.
"Two million and one hundred thousand. Zhang Yang got up, patted the dust on his body, and looked at Wang Peng with a smile.
"It's you...... I'll give 30 million!" "When Wang Peng saw Zhang Yang, he immediately understood, Zhang Yang must have deliberately retaliated against him, but he had already said it before, if he didn't buy this pendant now, it would be a bit of a slap in the face.
"Three million and one hundred thousand, I'm really sorry, my girlfriend also took a fancy to this pendant, since it's an auction, it's the one with the highest price. As soon as Zhang Yang's words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Especially Yang Guozhong, who was sitting in the first row, he was very clear about the details of the publicity, and his girlfriend also took a fancy to this pendant, which was pure nonsense.
"Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang, offending Wang Peng is not a rational thing, alas, ......" Yang Guozhong sighed secretly, a little helpless.
"Fifty million, I want to see how much you can out!" At this time, Wang Peng couldn't wait to swallow Zhang Yang, as long as Zhang Yang was not a fool, he could see that the cliff was deliberate.
"Well, since you paid such a high price, then I'll give it to you, congratulations, you got the imperial green worn by the dead. Zhang Yang smiled and looked at Wang Peng quietly.
"Okay, good, good, boy, count you ruthless!" Wang Peng finally understood, Zhang Yang didn't plan to buy this imperial green at all, and wanted to embarrass him.
