It was time for a break, Zhang Feng was bored in the lounge on the second floor chewing peanuts, and the seller who came with Zhang Feng next to him was still talking about what price his gems could sell for. Zhang Feng was not interested, so he didn't talk to them.

In this seller's exclusive box, there is also a person who is not interested in this topic like Zhang Feng, looking at the person's appearance, middle-aged age, but that person seems to be even more unsociable than Zhang Feng, and has been huddled in the corner alone, as if the auctions outside have nothing to do with him. Zhang Feng didn't pay attention to him, and each became a world.

The waiter shouting outside announced the end of the small break, and several sellers in the box crowded to the line of sight of the auction table in a bunch, just to see if it was their own jade auction next.

Auctioneer Ning Yuan walked onto the auction table again, her smile was like a spring breeze, and those worries before the break had disappeared. She struck three times with the timpani, signaling for the noisy people to stop, and when she heard the timpani, the audience in the auction hall naturally converged a little and looked in the direction of the auction table.

Ning Yuan said: "Let's be quiet first, the five-minute break has passed, everyone must be in a hurry, before the auction of the second link begins, Ning Yuan has a few words to say." ”

Ning Yuan walked to the middle of the auction table, picked up the topic and a copy of the same information, and continued: " Mingyuzhai has always been auctioned, there are some treasures auctioned for charity, in Mingyuzhai here has done charity has been countless, and this time is no exception, the next piece of jade, its owner hopes to donate all the funds from the auction to build hope primary schools for some poor areas, so Ning Yuan wants to say that the next auction is not only a matter of treasure bidding, but the gentleman and lady who finally succeeded in auctioning the treasure, will become a philanthropist, and be praised by countless people. This is a rare opportunity, and I hope that everyone will actively bid for the next auction and contribute to those children who cannot go to school. ”

After Ning Yuan's words were finished, the people on the floor did not react, after all, such a scene would be said again in every auction, and they were tired of hearing it to people who often went in and out of these high-end auction halls. Anyway, the great benevolent person will not be them, as the so-called richer the more slammed the door, who will donate money to a poor place that they don't know at all for no reason?

Every time they are curious, which wronged person donated money, and how much was donated, on the surface, of course, there will be a great good person, a great good person, but in the bottom of their hearts, they actually feel that person is a wronged person.

Ning Yuan didn't see any reaction from the crowd, and there was nothing strange about it, anyway, the audience's reaction was not very important, glanced at the information, and nodded to the two waiters behind the scenes, and the waiter also understood what Ning Yuan meant, and began to slowly push out the car carrying the jade.

At the same time, Ning Yuan said: "The next auction is a piece of Tang jade, this piece of jade is auctioned by Li Lao, the chairman of the Li Group, that is, the treasure used for charity purposes. ”

After speaking, Ning Yuan began to applaud herself, originally at the beginning, no one in the audience paid attention to Ning Yuan, but when she heard Ning Yuan say that it was the old man Li of the Li Group, they all began to applaud reluctantly.

Suddenly, there were two "ding dong" sounds on the second floor, and everyone looked up to see that the light box hanging outside a box on the second floor was lit.

*There is a light box hanging outside each box on the second floor of the club, because people on the second floor do not want to come forward to bid, as long as the switch of the light box is turned on, and the light box is lit, it means that the price will be increased once.

The current situation is that Ning Yuan has not introduced the Tang jade of Old Man Li at all, let alone quoted the reserve price for the auction, but someone on the second floor has already started to bid for it!

Ning Yuan was helpless, this is the way rich people play, she can ignore any rules, but she still has to do her duty well, and said: "The guests on the second floor are really compassionate, it seems that they want to build a few more schools for the children, but the guests are a little too anxious, this round of bidding has not started yet, the guests should extinguish the light box first." ”

Ning Yuan already used a very polite tone and a very euphemistic statement, trying her best to save face on both sides, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate it at all, not only did she not extinguish the light box, but also pressed it two or three more times.

"Ding-dong-ding-dong......"

The lightbox flashed twice, Ning Yuan had no choice now, since the rules had been broken, then it would be wrong. She still smiled, looked decently educated, glanced at the information, and said to the box on the second floor that pressed the light box indiscriminately while estimating: " Well, since the guest is in a hurry, Ning Yuan has no choice, so the procedures for introducing what to introduce in the front are saved, anyway, I am tired when I say so much, just take a break, then now this piece of jade auctioned in the name of charity will start to be auctioned, the reserve price is 30 million, just now the guest on the second floor pressed the light three times, adding 500,000 at a time, that is to say, now the highest bid is 31.5 million, is there a higher price than this guest?"

As an auctioneer, and an auctioneer in such a special situation that can happen at any time, you must have the ability to adapt to the situation, no matter what, the most important thing is not to let the auction venue collapse, and to be enthusiastic at all times.

After Ning Yuan's words were finished, the emergency situation just now was solved, neither embarrassing the guests on the second floor, nor causing chaos on the scene, and bringing the auction procedure back on track. Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, she was worried that the people on the second floor didn't react, and she was even more afraid that the people on the second floor overreacted!

As soon as Ning Yuan's words were finished, the people on the second floor made a move, and they all seemed to be eager to take a picture of Old Man Li's piece of Tang jade, and sure enough, the rich people were here, and they didn't look at the value of the jade at all, because Ning Yuan didn't say anything at all just now, but the people on the second floor began to compete.

For them, it's not about money at all, it's a game mentality, just to see who can have the last laugh.

For a while, the sound of "Ding Dong Ding Dong" continued, and the chaotic Ning Yuan had no way to quote, but fortunately, for the chaotic bidding method of the guests on the second floor, the auction house had long been surprised, so there was a special calculation method, that is, intelligent calculation, there is a small LED screen on each box, according to the number of times the guest presses, the LED will intelligently display the real-time quotation, so I don't worry about the problem that it can't be calculated.

Zhang Feng kept watching those lights flickering desperately like watching a farce, thinking to himself why these people were so boring? Zhang Feng first heard that it was the jade of Old Man Li, and then he saw what was beautiful, but who knew that he saw a competition for capital, which was simply boring. He didn't have the heart to watch this farce anymore, he still had something to do, so he left the box.

Zhang Feng went all the way to the place where the jade was stored, and there were still people there to check the condition of the jade, as if he could not relax until the jade was placed on the auction table.

A few staff members were guarding a few pieces of jade, and next to them stood a few people who looked richly dressed, both men and women, and opposite those who looked valuable, stood a few people in ragged clothes who nodded their heads. Zhang Feng knew that this was probably the final transaction between the seller and the buyer.

Zhang Feng had no intention of paying attention to these things, and continued to walk into the club, but he didn't see a free person, so he casually stopped a staff member and wanted to ask him about something.

"Who are you, what are you doing?" The staff looked at Zhang Feng suspiciously, he had never seen this person at all.

"I want to ask you, do you know Lao Ding?" Zhang Feng got straight to the point and did not answer the staff's questions.

When the staff heard Zhang Feng's words, they seemed to suddenly come to their senses, and said, "Oh! Are you the porter found by Master Lao Ding? Hurry up and follow me, why did you come so late?"

Zhang Feng was dragged to a warehouse by the staff in a daze, and with them, there were three or four porters, Zhang Feng estimated that they were the porters that the staff had found in their mouths.

The staff pointed to a few boxes in front of Zhang Feng and said to Zhang Feng and the porters: "These pieces of jade will be out of the warehouse in a while, and before they are put on the auction table, they must be let the old master pass by and move them over quickly." ”

"Okay!" the other porters were in good spirits. Zhang Feng could only follow them, and the staff said that they would take it to Master Lao Ding for identification, that is, if he carried these jades, he could find the Lao Ding that Zheng Qing said.

Zhang Feng couldn't find Lao Ding when he went to Li* last night, but Lan Meng said that Lao Ding would definitely appear in one of the auction venues, Zhang Feng didn't have a clue at that time, after all, there were so many auction halls in Jiang City, and the auction was held on the same day, so it was impossible for him to go to every auction hall to take a look!

But in the morning, I heard the old man in charge of Ming Yuzhai say that the * club is the one with the most treasures in all the auction halls of Ming Yuzhai, Zhang Feng thought about Zheng Qing and said that Lao must be a strange old man who loves jade as his life, and Zhang Feng was almost certain at that time that Lao must have a 90% chance of appearing in the * club.

After all, who likes to study jade antiques, who doesn't want to see some more advanced and precious treasures? Now hearing this staff member say this, it really verifies Zhang Feng's conjecture.

Since Zhang Feng heard the rumors of Lao Ding from Zheng Qing, he felt that he had to find Lao Ding, or rather, he wanted to win Lao Ding over, after the auction was over, Zhang Feng had to think about his antique shop, to open an antique store, in addition to funds, of course, people are also needed, not to mention connections, this kind of thing is not so easy to get, Zhang Feng is very clear about these things.

Therefore, the first thing Zhang Feng needs to find is talent, and it is not enough to rely on himself alone, which Zhang Feng knows better, so he wants to find Lao Ding to cooperate.

Last night, Zheng Qing told Zheng Qing that Lao Ding was actually a master of gem identification, but because of his strange personality, no one was hiring him, and there was even an incident where he smashed the other party's jade on the spot because he didn't like the attitude of his employer, and he was imprisoned for two years. Zheng Qing also said that because Li*'s Lan Meng and Lao Ding have some friendships, they have always allowed Lao Ding to live in Li*.

But what Zhang Feng didn't understand was, why did the people of the * club dare to use Lao Ding? And let him help identify the jade? Could it be that the person in charge of the * club also has a relationship with Lao Ding?
