172: Black Market Auction (Part I)
Chapter 172: Black Market Auction (Part I)
"I'm sorry, we're happy with all our shareholders right now!"
When Xu Jie heard this, he didn't mention how happy he was.
Finally, there is a belongings that can make the president of Tiannan Group, who has tens of billions of assets, jealous, and it is a lie to say that he is not happy, only to hear Xu Jie reply with a smile like a spring breeze: "If President Lin can persuade one of our shareholders to transfer shares, then we don't mind President Lin becoming one of us." ”
"Okay, wait for my good news. ”
Lin Yizhen obviously didn't fight a battle that she was not sure of, and answered more happily.
Xu Jie finally felt bad. Looking back now, since Lin Yizhen inquired about their details so clearly, and even inquired about Yao Lao's secret to Mingyuan City, she was naturally prepared, it is estimated that she has already had prior contact with some of them, and what she said just now was just to let Xu Jie say it and not regret it.
Thinking of this, looking at Lin Yizhen who was drifting away, Xu Jie had a feeling of being tricked again.
Zhou You and the others are not fools, they all feel that Lin Yizhen is powerful, and they calculate Xu Jie to death step by step. However, when they saw that Xu Jie, who had always been fierce, was also so suffocated, there was an inexplicable sense of pleasure in their hearts.
Wang Hao wondered: "It is impossible for Xiaoyou, Jie Shao and Cheng Shao to sell their shares, and Jiang Jun and I have not received any news, so the only ones left are Uncle Huang, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang." ”
Xu Jie thought for a while and came to a conclusion: "The rest is only possible for the three of them, but I believe that with Uncle Huang's ingenuity, he should not be able to fish with all his might, even if Uncle Huang wants to sell his shares, he will tell us in advance." ”
The only ones left are Mr. Zhang and Zhang Yingwu.
Suddenly, Xu Jie began to feel annoyed.
Previously, because of the conflict in Mingyu Restaurant, the pattern shown by Mr. Zhang and Zhang Yingwu was too small, they had no courage, and they were not people who did big things, which made Xu Jie, who was a little impatient, a little alienated from them, but he didn't want to give Lin Yizhen a chance to cut in.
Wu Qiang was obviously the one who knew Xu Jie best, and reminded in a low voice: "The shares held by Mr. Zhang and Zhang Yingwu are very small, even if they are all obtained by Lin Yizhen, it is not a big deal. ”
Jiang Jun also said: "Yes, as long as your three major shareholders stand tall, the company's absolute right to speak will always be in our hands." A mere 4% stake is a completely innocuous pattern. ”
Zhou You also said: "I have an agreement with Uncle Huang, if he wants to sell his shares, I hope he will be the first to think of me." So Uncle Huang is completely fine on his side, and Jie Shaoda can rest assured. ”
Xu Jie shook his head and said: "That's not what I'm worried about! Forget it, let's not think so much, the secrecy of the formula will be increased by a level in the future, if everyone doesn't object, I will send specially trained security personnel to protect our best interests." ”
"I'm totally fine!"
"We don't have a problem anymore!"
The three of them have no opinion, and the matter is simply a sure fact.
At this moment, a graceful waiter dressed in uniform came over and respectfully invited: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, the auction is about to begin, I wonder if you want to bid here, or go to the place specially arranged for you by the host?"
Only then did they realize that everyone had already taken their places, but all of them chose to bid in the form of a ball, and some even went to the second floor to look down on the black market auction.
"That's it!"
Zhou You doesn't want to move around at will anymore, not to mention that this place should be very close to those auction items, and I believe it will be more convenient for Zhou You to peek at the auction items on this black market with his spiritual power.
Xu Jie didn't want to fall behind others, especially when he saw Lin Yizhen on top, he vaguely wanted to go up. But Zhou You said so, and he had to stay here.
"Then I'll take my leave!"
Ming Lao gave them an apologetic look slightly, and walked straight to the two elderly participants.
And Zhou You also saw that the two old men formed a group independently, although they were also standing, but there were special attendants not far from them, which showed that their status was extraordinary.
Xu Jie saw that Zhou You's attention was there, and reminded in a low voice: "Those two are well-known treasure experts in Guangdong, and behind each of them is either a first-class pawn shop or a large auction house. It is estimated that they all have the same original intention as Ming Lao, and they want to try their luck here. ”
Zhou You and the others nodded, and secretly wrote down the faces of these two old men to avoid rudeness in the future.
"Good evening, distinguished gentlemen and ladies!"
At some point, a master of ceremonies who looked like he was wearing a wireless speaker walked to the middle of the hall and was the first to greet the VIPs.
This sentence calmed down everyone's discussion and communication.
This was followed by a few simple words of welcome and congratulations, and the auction was immediately announced. The whole process is simple and direct, a bit of a dark style, which is also very suitable for the appetite of all the VIPs present.
After the first auction item was launched, the master of ceremonies immediately enthusiastically introduced: "This bronze wine jue is the court drinking vessel of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Although there are signs of rust, it has been restored to its former glory after the master's emergency repair. The shape of this bronze wine jue is quite exquisite, noble and elegant, and it is a rare treasure, and I believe that it can enter the eyes of all the distinguished collectors present. The reserve price of this treasure is 8,000, and each increase shall not be less than 1,000, and I hope you will actively participate. ”
In the process of the master of ceremonies' introduction, the waiter had already pushed the crystal cart carrying the bronze wine lord around the hall, so that every VIP could take a closer look.
Jiang Jun was surprised: "Eight thousand, it is indeed not expensive, this bronze wine jue is very well restored, although it is a little less vicissitudes, but bronze is bronze, and its historical value is beyond doubt." If it weren't for the fact that it was a little sensitive, it couldn't be sold publicly, otherwise it could really become one of the highlights of our Dragon Bird Tower. ”
Zhou You also commented: "The belly, tail, legs, feet, and pillars of this bronze wine jue have simple gluttonous patterns, which is definitely a rare bronze wine jue." Even if there are a considerable number of bronze wine vessels on the market, which makes them not increase in price, I believe that those who know the goods will definitely give it a satisfactory price. ”
"Since it's Boss Wu's first auction item, it's up to me to throw bricks and lead the way. I'll pay 80,000 yuan to compete for this bronze wine vessel, I wonder if you can appreciate your face?"
A man who was wearing an expensive suit, but still gave a strong atmosphere, directly offered a high price, which pushed the atmosphere of the scene to the first peak.
"A little arrogant!"
Xu Jie smiled slightly, but did not say anything further.
Yang Linlin muttered very dissatisfiedly: "An underworld also learns to play antiques and be a collector, which is simply spoiling art and desecrating art." ”
Zhou You shook his head and replied: "That's wrong, some underworld societies know more about taste than some vassal and elegant people, at least they are better than some people who only know how to compare and give gifts, and don't know how to cherish them." ”
Jiang Jun is the most proficient at auctions, and reminded him in a low voice: "Don't look at that person's rude appearance, in fact, he is a very shrewd person, because he has eaten the price to death." The value of bronzes on the market, which generally fluctuates around 100,000 yuan, and the price of 80,000 yuan is almost the limit of this bronze wine, which just scared off Ming Lao and other opponents. ”
Wang Hao also echoed: "How can a person with such a vision be a simple character, it is estimated that this underworld boss is also very interested in antiques, and he is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." ”
Yang Linlin couldn't argue with it, so she could only be honest.
In terms of antiques, although Yang Linlin has learned a lot of knowledge, and she is also a history professional, she is still much more tender if she wants to compare with the three of you.
Sure enough, when the price of 80,000 yuan appeared, the atmosphere of the scene calmed down, and the Ming elders were full of helplessness when they looked at the bronze wine lord, and finally got it for the boss of the underworld.
Although there was only one price for the first auction item, the price was very high, far beyond the original intention of Boss Wu, who had been standing behind the scenes, and he was very satisfied. And the master of ceremonies naturally knew the true value of this auction item, so he was a little excited, and announced the ownership of the bronze wine jue in a more impassioned voice, and announced the appearance of the second auction item.
But this time what came out caused an uproar.
A cart of stones.
This time, it was not a handsome waitress pushing a cart, but a tall black suit bodyguard, and this time it was not a delicate crystal cart, but an ordinary dining cart, with black stones piled up on the upper and lower floors.
When the master of ceremonies saw the atmosphere of the scene, he knew that the appearance of these had successfully attracted everyone's attention, and immediately took the opportunity to add fuel and light the fire: "These stones were excavated in an ancient tomb of the Qing Dynasty, and according to research, it is likely to be the tomb of a close minister next to the Empress Dowager Cixi of the late Qing Dynasty." But it would be wrong to guess that these stones are strange stones, because they are all jadeite roughs, which is what we often call jadeite wool, and they are also rare black wax shell wool. ”
There was another uproar.
There were many people present who were from a jewelry shop, or the owner of a pawn or auction house, and when they saw that these were jadeite wool materials that had been very hot recently, they couldn't help it, and they gathered around to see what was going on.
"Empress Dowager Cixi!"
Zhou You and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw the horror in their eyes.
The Empress Dowager Cixi loved jadeite, even to the point of being a little sick. It is said that jadeite, jade tea sets, jade chopsticks, jade dolls, etc., can be seen everywhere in the Changchun Palace where she lives, and even the funeral objects of the Empress Dowager Cixi have a large number of jade ornaments, such as magic wands, Buddha, jade watermelon, cabbage, peaches, etc.
The reason why modern society has added lofty titles such as the crown of jade, the treasure of the East, and the king of jade to jade, and the reason why it is regarded as a top treasure and crazy rush to buy it is due to the contribution of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
"Can't miss it!"
Wang Hao looked at the pile of black wax shell jade wool, and his eyes were full of scorching brilliance.
