Lei Liu said, knowing that Zhang Feng would not let him see the other two pieces of jade, so he didn't say any other nonsense, stood up, and was about to walk away. He was going to prepare materials for Zhang Feng's jade appraisal to be made.

Zhang Feng glanced at the back of Lei Liu's departure, and became more and more sure of his feelings, Lei Liu is definitely not a simple person, ordinary appraisers have to use instruments to identify jade, so as to obtain accurate data, and Lei Liu just touched it with his hand to roughly know, and there is nothing wrong with looking at him, as if the appraisal work is so simple, he is very confident in himself, and he is so confident that he is accustomed to it.

In the end, Lei Liu helped Zhang Feng do the appraisal of the jade jade and white jade, in fact, it was just to fill out some forms, then put a seal, and then go to the manager to confirm the signature, and then go to the old man who was in charge of the accounts and asked him to arrange someone to go to the * club to arrange an auction seat, so that it would be fine.

When Zhang Feng's jade was sent out of Mingyuzhai by car, it was already half past eight in the morning, and Mingyuzhai, where Zhang Feng was located, was near the edge of the western district of Jiang City, which basically bordered the eastern district, so it should not waste too much time to go to the eastern district.

When he arrived at the club, there were still ten minutes and nine o'clock, Zhang Feng remembered that the auction of the club started at nine o'clock, and at this time, all kinds of luxury cars were parked outside the auction venue.

"Just stop there, and then I can go in on my own. Zhang Feng pointed to a roadside next to the club, where there were no cars blocking it. But the driver was still reluctant to stop.

The driver looked very embarrassed and said: "Sir, you are a seller, you can't enter from the front door, you have to go directly to the club office from the back door to do a good job of identity registration, and there are some other checks, and then someone will arrange for Mr. to enter the venue, so we have to bypass this intersection now and go directly to the back door to enter, this is the rule." ”

Zhang Feng was helpless, * The club is full of rich people! Naturally, he should pay attention to the safety of his own life and property, and the seller must register his identity from the back door to the designated place, and what else to check, needless to say, it must be some inspection of whether there are dangerous goods! Since the rules are set like this, then he has nothing to say.

By the time Zhang Feng actually entered the club, it was already nine o'clock, but he was not in a hurry, generally speaking, the little trick of the auction house was usually to start with an ordinary jade first, and then it would become more and more exciting, so he was also unhurried.

After passing all the inspections and registering his identity, Zhang Feng was led to the auction venue, but he could only stay in a relatively dark corner, and was specially explained by the waiter that he should not make any noisy moves, otherwise he would be driven out immediately. Although the waiter's tone was a little unpleasant, he didn't pay much attention to it for the sake of wine and food here.

Looking out from this dark corner, the hall of the auction hall is magnificent, and the lights shine on the crystal lamps, which are very dazzling. There was a woman wearing a cheongsam standing on the auction table, with a graceful posture and a variety of charms, and the smile on her face was very charming.

Listening to the introduction of the person who shouted the curtain, this auctioneer's name is Ning Yuan, and he is a very famous auctioneer in Jiangshi. The people in the audience all looked self-satisfied, either chatting with the people next to them, or doing their own things, and a few obscene old men squinted and stared at Ning Yuan on the stage. In short, he didn't listen to the person who shouted the curtain at all, and the young man who shouted the curtain only had a slightly ugly face, and it seemed that he was used to it, so he was a little embarrassed, but it was not embarrassing.

And Zhang Feng's location is on the second floor of the auction house, which is relatively far away, and the lights are very dim, which causes Zhang Feng to see the outside situation here, and the people outside can't see Zhang Feng's situation here, this should be a box for jade sellers to rest.

And in the same space as Zhang Feng, there were five or six men, all looking nervously in the direction of the venue, and from time to time discussing with the people next to them how much their jade could be sold for, and when they spoke, their eyebrows were fluttering, and they were excited like a tall and strong child.

Of course, I'm excited! The jade that can be auctioned at this club, if nothing else, is definitely much better than the one auctioned at other auction houses, and naturally the money will be a lot more. There was even a time when someone sold a piece of jade here, and the money they got could buy a company in Jiangshi, and since then they have been lifted out of poverty and become rich, and the people who sell jade have fantasized about whether they will become like that?

And Zhang Feng didn't join their fantasies, he was still observing the situation at the venue. The venue was very noisy, as if there was no order, but even if there was a rule that it could not be noisy, it was estimated that the group of upper-class people would not listen! And Zhang Feng noticed that not all the bidders were sitting in the venue, because there were many boxes on the second floor.

Although the box window Zhang Feng saw was just a mirror, he understood that the setting of this auction hall and the glass at the auction table on the second floor were all one-way visibility glass, that is to say, from the outside, the falling window on the second floor was like a mirror, and when you looked at the outside from the inside, it was clear and high-definition. Sitting on the second floor is this auction, the real gold owner, and of course the most important guest of the auction hall.

Zhang Feng suddenly remembered the two people, Li Rongxue and Old Man Li, they probably also came, on this kind of occasion, being able to appear represents a status symbol, even if they don't want to participate in such a scene, in order not to be regarded as an outlier by others, they will come and walk, so Zhang Feng is sure that in the box on the second floor, there must be one Li Rongxue and Old Man Li.

Suddenly, there were three sound of timpani hammers on the auction table, Zhang Feng looked over, a piece of jade had been auctioned out, he was just thinking about things, and he didn't care about the situation over there, this piece of jade that was auctioned out was a piece of green jade, although it was a good jade, but it was not a treasure, so the response at the venue was not very enthusiastic, and even some people ignored it at all.

Zhang Feng was a little amused in his heart, it seems that what the old man in charge of the accounts of Ming Yuzhai said is really not wrong, jade that is not a rare treasure basically can't enter the eyes of these rich people who have money and nowhere to spend.

"Next, it's our fifth lot, this is a piece of black jade, if there is any jade that can show the most noble status, it is the black jade. Ning Yuan's sweet voice came out, and several young ladies in cheongsams came out of the backstage holding a piece of jade at the same time, walked around the auction table, and showed the jade to the public in all directions.

During the display, Ning Yuan continued to introduce jade, saying: "The name of the ink jade comes from the fact that the jade itself is ink-colored, but it is not the kind of black ink, on the contrary, the ink color of the ink jade itself is light, such as a ribbon floating in the jade, and the outside is wrapped in transparent white jade, as if it is a landscape painting, which is natural and shows the noble identity." ”

After listening to Ning Yuan's introduction, everyone saw that it was indeed a good piece of jade from the screen on the spot, so they paid attention to the auction venue.

But Ning Yuan was still a little uncomfortable, with a worried look on her face, after all, the characters on the second floor were still indifferent from the beginning to the present, and they didn't seem to be able to see anything, so they didn't mean to bid.

Ning Yuan looked at the auction list, as if looking for a treasure that could be auctioned by the people on the second floor, after all, the people on the second floor were the real buyers of the auction, if there was no more thing they looked at, they would no longer have the patience to look at it, thinking that it was just a waste of time, and once they had such an idea, they would leave.

As an auctioneer, Ning Yuan certainly knows the truth in this, so at this time she must adjust the order of the auction items, if there is nothing to attract people on the second floor, this auction will fail.

There has been such a situation before, in Ning Yuan's last auctioneer did not make timely adjustments during the auction, and the people on the second floor were gone one after another, and that auction was Ming Yuzhai's worst result in the * club, which was fifty percent lower than the auctions at other times.

The reason why it is the responsibility of the auctioneer, not to say that the items in the auction are not good, there is a knowledge, a first-class auctioneer, good at inciting the emotions of bidders, selling the auctioned items more than the value of the treasure itself, this is a qualified auctioneer.

The auction with the worst results is like this, the auctioneer doesn't know how to incite the emotions of the spectators on the second floor, you know, the characters on the second floor are not bad for money, pick their emotions to the highest point, then they will bid for a face, and compete with other people, at this time, it is no longer a question of the value of jade, just a matter of fighting for a breath.

And this situation is what the auctioneer wants, and it is also what the auction house wants, but now the situation is not good, a few people on the second floor are indifferent, and if it continues to develop like this, someone will definitely leave, and if one leaves, there will be a chain effect, one after another, and at that time, Ning Yuan will repeat the failure of the previous auctioneer.

So she kept rummaging through the auction list, trying to find a jade or other antique that could stir up the atmosphere of the audience, but she couldn't find it until she saw a piece of jade signed by Old Man Li, and she laughed.

Ning Yuan seemed to have found a lifesaver, and summoned a waiter next to him to show him the auction catalog. said: "Wait a minute, it's time for a small break, advance the auction of this jade to the next one, and let the little girl who serves go to the various boxes to preview, of course, it is Li Lao's box that should be specially announced, so that Li Lao can make a preparation, his old man's jade is too good, wait a minute, there may be a lot of people bidding, you go to congratulate Li Lao on behalf of our Ming Yu Zhai." ”

When the waiter heard this, of course he understood what Ning Yuan meant, so the auction hall has a rule, after auctioning five things, he must take a break for ten minutes, so it is convenient for buyers and buyers to confirm funds, so it is also called a small break.

And Ning Yuan asked the waiter to go to each box to preview first, just to let the bored characters on the second floor have a good spirit, so that they will at least not leave during the break, what is the origin of Li Lao in Jiang City, no one here does not know, whether it is to give Old Man Li a face, or to give the Li Group a face, they will at least stay until that time before leaving.

And this is exactly what Ning Yuan wants, once the auction starts, it is not just a matter of who gives face to whom, but everyone has to grab face.
