Chapter 088: When the Auction Goes Underway

Auction day is here.

Although his left arm was still recovering, Wang Chen still put on a suit with the help of Shen Xia, tidied up, and the two went downstairs to the auction site rebuilt by the Business Hall.

With the help of female staff with red diagonal banners on their chests, Wang Chen and Shen Xia found seats in the second row.

At this time, there were only seven or eight people at the auction site.

Since he was snubbed the day before yesterday, Wang Chen didn't go to the hot face and cold butt again, but took advantage of yesterday's free time to have a good time with Shen Xia to play Wuzhen.

After a while, people came one after another.

The business hall was very lively, and people who knew each other greeted each other.

"Lao Du, long time no see. ”

"Old Lei, you only came today?"

"I don't know what good things Sister Mei got this time. ”

Everyone was talking, and Wang Chen didn't have anything to do anyway.

It was almost nine o'clock, and the room was already full of people, and at a glance, there were about seventy or eighty of them.

At this time, a thirty-four-five-year-old man in formal clothes walked in outside the door, he was not tall, about 1.7 meters, and his appearance was also very ordinary, and he couldn't find that kind in the crowd.

However, as soon as the man came in, the scene immediately became a sensation.

Wang Chen clearly saw that many people who had already sat down, such as Jin Lang, Ms. Ma and others, all stood up and greeted them with smiling faces, and they could vaguely hear their words with stammering.

"Mr. Chung. ”

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zhong here. ”

"Ouch, Mr. Zhong is here alone, when the auction is over, you must let my old Jin entertain you." ”

"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Zhong can appreciate his face?"

The man known as Mr. Zhong was very polite and talked casually to the crowd, and there were so many people around him that his voice was so noisy that Wang Chen couldn't hear what he was saying.

Mr. Chung then sat down in the middle of the first row.

The crowd hugged and talked for a while before they returned to their seats.

Wang Chen remembered that Huang Ren said that there were two big names coming over at this auction, and Mr. Zhong should be one of them, and I don't know if I can find a way to get a relationship.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from his ear, "Xiaoxia, why are you here?"

Wang Chen followed the prestige, he was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man, and he looked quite handsome, so he immediately became vigilant and pricked up his ears to listen.

Shen Xia raised her head and smiled: "It's Brother Su Quan, you are also here to participate in the auction?"

"Yes. The young man known as Su Quan sat down next to Shen Xia and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I am next to you, fate." ”

Fate your sister!

Don't mess around!

Wang Chen couldn't sit still, and pretended to ask casually, "Xiaoxia, who is this?"

Su Quan also noticed Wang Chen and asked Shen Xia, "Your friend?"

"Well, my boyfriend Wang Chen. Shen Xia took the initiative to admit it, and then introduced: "Wang Chen, he is Su Quan." Then she introduced the identities of each of them.

Wang Chen learned why Shen Xia and Su Quan knew each other, it turned out that Su Quan's father was also a person in the Jinghai system, older than Shen Xia's father's official position, and was the deputy mayor of Jinghai, and Su Quan himself was not bad, he co-founded a technology company, and I heard that it had been listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange A-shares.

Su Quan frowned slightly when he heard that Wang Chen was just a young man who opened a handicraft shop, his expression was fleeting, and he said one by one: "Xiaoxia, you are in love with Xiao Wang, does your father know?"

Shen Xia said: "I haven't said it yet." ”

"Oh. Su Quan didn't say anything more, and said something else, "You know Miao Ju's daughter, right? I talked about a boyfriend who was doing a small business last time, but I was blown out by Miao Ju when I brought it home, hey, there are some things like us that we can't help ourselves, so we have to think about it ourselves." ”

What do you mean, Wori?

Wang Chen is not a fool, how could he not understand the meaning of Su Quan's words, it is nothing more than saying that he is doing a small business, and it is very likely that Lao Shen will not agree to him and Shen Xia in the end.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not wrong for people to say this.

Even in the 21st century, in China, children's marriages will still be interfered with by their parents to a large extent, especially in some official families.

It's just that Wang Chen still doesn't feel comfortable listening to it.

Maybe Shen Xia didn't like to hear this very much, so she changed the topic and said: "Brother Su Quan, don't you like to play collecting, Wang Chen is very capable, you can have more contact with him, maybe I can get you some good things in the future." ”

"Okay, I got it. Su Quan said "yes" in his mouth, but he didn't actually pay attention to Wang Chen, and still pulled Shen Xia to talk about other things.

Wang Chen, who was ignored, was a little angry.

It's not that he was ignored, but Su Quan kept pulling Shen Xia to talk, obviously Shen Xia didn't want to deal with this guy anymore.

Fortunately, two more people came in at this time, especially the young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old.

As soon as the young man came in, he attracted most of the people as Mr. Zhong came in before, and many people came forward to say hello.

Wang Chen vaguely learned from Su Quan's mouth on the side that this young man was called Young Master Xu, he was not tall, but he was full of squirrel, even in front of everyone, he was still holding a tall beauty.

It was lively for more than ten minutes.

Sister Mei walked in with a large group of staff pushing small carts, and the five appraisal masters of Master Fei and Mr. Yu, who had met the day before yesterday, also came.

When everyone saw that Sister Mei was coming, they all fell silent.

Sister Mei, who was dressed in a long black dress, waved her hand, closed the door, walked to the table in front of her alone, picked up the microphone, and said with a smile: "Thank you for giving me Mei Junyan face to participate in this auction, of course, I will not disappoint you this time, I have invited a lot of friends in the collection industry, they have brought a lot of good things to auction, I hope to satisfy everyone." ”

"Let's get started. ”

"We can't wait. ”

"What's the hell out there?"

There was a commotion below.

Sister Mei was resolute, "Okay, don't talk much, because there are a few new friends involved, I will introduce the bidding rules." ”

Wang Chen listened carefully, it was nothing more than that he was not allowed to find someone to bid maliciously, and if it was discovered, he would not be able to participate in the auction organized by Sister Mei in the future.

After the introduction, Sister Mei pretended to be mysterious and said, "Guess what, what is the object that opened the door in this auction?"

Generally speaking, the first thing at auction is certainly not bad.

As soon as she said this, everyone became interested and talked about it below.

Sister Mei didn't let everyone guess for too long, and said bluntly: "Let's ask our old friend Huang Ren to preside over what he wants to auction." ”

Huang Ren, who was sitting in the third row, stood up, walked up to the stage with a majestic spirit, took a microphone and auction hammer handed over by the staff, and said with a smile: "Let's bid more later, let Lao Huang and I earn more money." ”

As soon as the joke came out, there was a lot of laughter below.

"No bidding. ”

"Let you smash things in your hands. ”

"Lao Huang, don't worry, if you have an extra dime, I will lose. ”

Huang Ren, who was teased by everyone, was not annoyed, reached out and lifted the small cart next to him, and introduced: "What I brought to auction this time is a set of celadon tea sets from the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty. ”

There was an uproar.

"What?"

"Northern Song Dynasty official kiln celadon?"

"Ouch, Lao Huang has brought something good this time!"

Only Wang Chen blinked, looked at the tea set on it, and said that Huang Ren could do old kung fu, and at first glance he didn't recognize that this tea set was brought out by himself from Gusu Zhu Mansion.

"Be quiet. Sister Mei stabilized the order of the scene, and then said: "If you are interested, you can come up and palm your eyes first, and if you like it, you will bid later." ”

It's different from regular auctions.

Sister Mei here allows buyers to come up and look at the goods first.

There are really many people who are interested in the so-called Northern Song Dynasty official kiln tea set, and more than a dozen people came up directly, and they commented on the tea set, and finally they were sure that it was true.

Wait until the people go down.

Sister Mei said: "The starting price of this set of tea sets is 8 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 200,000 yuan each time." ”

the groove.

The starting price is 8 million?

Wang Chen was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he even sold a celadon plate to Huang Rencai for three thousand and a half, and now the price has increased by more than two thousand times the auction?

Someone immediately raised a sign, it was Jin Lang sitting in the fourth row.

Huang Ren stretched out his hand and asked, "Mr. Jin." ”

Jin Lang: "Eight million two hundred thousand." ”

As soon as the words fell, another woman in her fifties not far away held up a sign and offered 8.5 million yuan.

Subsequently, several more people got involved.

After a while, the price climbed to 10 million.

Wang Chen looked stupid, and said in his heart that if any of you took a picture, he would not cry to death if he knew it was fake when he looked back?

In the end, this set of tea sets was photographed by a little old man in his sixties, 11.5 million.

Huang Ren said happily: "Congratulations to Yun Lao for taking the baby." ”

Yun Lao, who was sitting in the audience, had a loud voice, and scolded with a smile: "Congratulations on sending money to your kid?"

Having said that, Wang Chen could see that Yun Lao was very happy.

The second auction was a wine made by ChΓ’teau RomanΓ©e Conti, a top wine producer in Burgundy, before the vines were uprooted and replanted, with a starting price of 5.08 million yuan, which was finally auctioned by Mr. Zhong for 5.58 million yuan.

It is said that this bottle of red wine is exactly the same as the red wine that Sotheby's auctioned for a million dollars before, and there are only 600 bottles left in the world, which is very collectible.

The third auction is the Tiansheng ingots of the Western Iron Mother during the Tiansheng period of Emperor Renzong of Western Xia, with a starting price of 50,000 yuan and a transaction price of 120,000 yuan.

Calligraphy and painting one after another, gems and the like have come out.

The auction lasted more than three hours.

In the middle, everyone went to have lunch.

The auction resumed at 2 p.m.

I don't know where they got the early calligraphy and the Russian T34 decommissioned tank with the engine and launch mechanism dismantled.

Anyway, you have everything.

Wang Chen was dumbfounded.

Soon, the auction was coming to an end.

Wang Chen was a little anxious, why couldn't he have his own things?

On the stage, Sister Mei stepped forward again and said: "The next auction is 200 catties of high-quality small-leaved rosewood wood from India, with a starting price of 120,000 yuan, and each bid shall not be less than 5,000." ”

The presiding seller was a woman in her forties.

In the end, the 200-kilogram small-leaf red sandalwood was auctioned by the forty-year-old fat man who was known as the "Pearl King" of Jiang at a price of 150,000 yuan.

When the auction came down, Su Quan gloated and said, "Lao Jiang is in a hurry this time, and he has to shoot two hundred catties of small leaf red sandalwood?"

Shen Xia didn't know why she asked, "Isn't there a lot of two hundred catties of small leaf red sandalwood?"

"It's a lot for ordinary people, but Lao Jiang took an order this time, and the other party asked for 2,000 handmade handmade small leaf red sandalwood hand beads, and he had some problems with the material supplier in India, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get small leaf red sandalwood materials in a short time. Su Quan sighed: "The most important thing is to make it by hand, I heard that there is only one week before the delivery date, and it is a drop in the bucket for him to buy two hundred catties back, probably to breach the contract." ”

Hand-made small leaf red sandalwood hand beads is quite time-consuming.

Wang Chen understands a little bit, a bead from the whole material to the grinding of at least forty-five minutes, generally speaking, a string of hand beads at least twelve, that is to say, a hand-made hand beads, a day to make a string, two thousand strings of pure handwork for a week will definitely be too late.

Unless three hundred craftsmen are invited to do it at once.

The question is, are there so many people who make hand beads in modern society?

Besides, even if there is, why should Lao Jiang invite all of them? The key is to ensure the quality.

Therefore, Wang Chen felt that Jiang "King Zhu" was basically about to breach the contract.

Just thinking about it, Su Quan suddenly teased, "Xiaoxia, your boyfriend didn't participate in the auction during the whole sale, did you borrow your father's relationship to bring him over for a long time?"

Shen Xia defended: "No, he brought me here, and he has something to auction." ”

Su Quan smacked his lips and said in disbelief: "It's almost over, why didn't I see him have anything to auction?"

Wang Chen frowned, feeling that Su Quan was a little annoying.

At this time, Sister Mei's voice sounded again, probably after shouting all day, her throat was a little hoarse, "The auction is coming to an end, there are only a few things left, I hope you can seize the last chance, okay, let's invite Wang Chen, the seller of the next round of auctions!"

Wang Chen stood up.

Su Quan was surprised: "You really have something to auction?"

Shen Xia said: "I told you that you don't believe it." ”

Wang Chen didn't pay attention to this product, and walked directly to the stage, and finally it was his turn, hoping to get a good price!
