Chapter 30 Auction Scene
The acquaintances present not only included Shang Yunlu, who went to see Zhang Xu yesterday, but he accompanied Zhao Yuanhao and Zhao Tingting to appear at the venue at the same time.
In addition, Chen Jingxiu and Chen Xinning of the Chen family appeared on the other side of the venue with people.
Looking at Shang Yunlu's appearance, the relationship between the Chen family and the Shang family doesn't seem to be as close as before, I don't know if it's because of himself.
When Zhang Xu was thinking like this, Zhao Yuanhao had already discovered Zhang Xu's figure, pulled Zhao Tingting, and walked towards Zhang Xu. Zhang Xu had no choice but to greet him: "Old man Zhao, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
"How could you not have thought of it?" Zhao Yuanhao smiled and swept around with his gaze, "This kind of thing, as long as the ancient martial arts world is in Dongzhou's power, which one will not come?"
Listening to Zhao Yuanhao's meaning, this auction turned out to be related to the ancient martial arts world, and it seemed to be a big deal.
Zhang Xu said vaguely: "That's right." ”
Zhao Yuanhao stretched out his hand and pulled Zhao Tingting beside him, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you little two are making trouble again?"
"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense. Zhao Tingting glanced at Zhang Xu, "Who knows what people think in their hearts." ”
Zhao Yuanhao laughed and said, "Little brother, since everyone has come here, they must all be determined to win." I don't think it's as good as us joining forces, as long as we can take it, the things are yours, and you are my granddaughter's. How?"
The old man laughed again. Zhang Xu was talking, and he was thinking about it in his heart at the same time. He didn't know what each family valued in this auction, but it was true that he didn't have enough money. Since Zhao Yuanhao wants to join forces with himself, let's join forces first. After photographing something, at least I have some friendship with Zhao Yuanhao, so I won't suffer a loss.
Therefore, he agreed: "Since the old man has spoken, I don't have to be hypocritical." But I can say in advance that I don't have much money to bring this time, and I might shoot something else. ”
Zhao Yuanhao said with a smile: "It's okay, except for that thing, we will unite, you can shoot other things, if you don't have money, just ask." ”
After the decision was made, the two groups of people sat together, Zhao Tingting was pulled by his grandfather to sit next to Zhang Xu, and Shang Yunlu, Yang Yangming, Sister Deng and others were sitting around.
As the number of people in the hall gradually increased, the host also appeared on the stage in the center of the hall.
"Dear friends, welcome to this auction of Mr. Lin's private collection. The host opened his mouth to introduce the auction.
When Zhang Xu heard the host's introduction, he was stunned: "Mr. Lin?"
Zhao Tingting, who has never taken the initiative to deal with Zhang Xu, tilted her head and said in Zhang Xu's ear at this time: "That's right, this Mr. Lin is Lin Yuhan's father, a business giant in Zhonghai City, Lin Zhengting." ”
It can't be such a coincidence, Zhang Xu thought to himself, I don't know if Lin Yuhan will appear at the auction.
Thinking of this, he warned himself again, how could he have so many messy thoughts now. It is impossible for him to have any relationship with Lin Yuhan at all.
"Mr. Lin Zhengting has now invested in a large-scale project in Dongzhou City, and the capital investment is huge, so he reluctantly takes out his private collection and gives it to everyone. I hope you will cherish this opportunity......" The host chattered a lot before finally saying, "The auction is now officially open." ”
After a round of applause, Lot 1 was sent to the stage.
"This is a pair of Sun Kehong's flower scrolls, this painting ......" Zhang Xu heard that it was a painting, so he was not interested in listening to it, and only heard the final quotation, "...... The starting price is 200,000 yuan. ”
In addition to the people from the ancient martial arts world, the others also seemed to be unconcerned about the nature of the opening lot, and the painting was finally sold for 230,000 yuan.
Zhang Xu doesn't understand calligraphy and painting, but according to such a transaction price, if a suitable jade appears, the chance of winning it is still very high.
The host seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the enthusiasm of the opening, and then said: "The first lot may not be in the eyes of friends, but it doesn't matter, we have more good things to show one by one." ”
The second lot is a blue and white hat bowl from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, with a starting price of 2 million.
The people in the ancient martial arts world of this thing were also lacking in interest, but it caused a burst of scrambling from others, and in the end, this bowl was sold at a price of 3.8 million.
This price made Zhang Xu startled, it seems that the auction is really not as simple as he thought.
Next, after auctioning out a gold object and two calligraphy and paintings, there was finally a jade artifact.
"The sixth lot is a deer-patterned jade belt from the Northern Song Dynasty to He, with a starting price of 500,000 yuan. As the host's voice fell, Zhang Xu locked the lot as soon as possible.
The spiritual power emitted by this jade artifact was more abundant than the Southern Song Dynasty bought in Sister Deng's shop in the afternoon, and Zhang Xu decided that he had to take it.
Unexpectedly, the popularity of this jade belt is very high, and the auction price has risen from 500,000 to 700,000, and the momentum has not stopped. Zhang Xu saw that it was not a way to add money a little bit, so he simply slapped the table, raised a sign and shouted: "I'll give a million!"
Immediately, the people who competed with Zhang Xu stopped talking, and after three quotations, Zhang Xu finally got this jade belt bought for one million.
Zhao Yuanhao leaned over with some curiosity at this time and asked: "There is no way to decorate this kind of thing now, so you can only collect it." I didn't expect you, little brother, to be really interested in these antiques. ”
Zhang Xu smiled noncommittally, in fact, he didn't know what the jade belt was for. But he couldn't say it, so he could only say vaguely: "A little hobby." ”
In the later lots, as long as there is jade, and there is abundant spiritual energy in it, Zhang Xu will unceremoniously take it. However, the funds in hand have also bottomed out quickly. The price ranged from hundreds of thousands to more than one million, and after winning six or seven pieces of jade, the more than five million brought by Zhang Xu was less than one million.
At this time, more than two hours had passed since the auction, and as a private auction, the number of competing items had exceeded dozens of things, and the auction was about to end, but the auction that the ancient martial arts world was looking forward to had not appeared for a long time.
"Dear friends, the next lot is the finale of this auction. This lot will be personally introduced by the owner of this auction, Mr. Lin from Zhonghai City. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Lin to appear. ”
As the host finished his introduction, an elegant middle-aged man walked out, followed by a delicately dressed girl holding a small box in her hand.
"Welcome friends, Lin is delayed because of something, and I ask for your understanding if he is late. After Lin Zhengting walked on stage, he took the box in the girl's hand and said, "This lot is a painting that I have treasured for a long time, a pair of Zhao Mengfu's handwritten "Tao Te Ching". The contemptible people endured the pain and cut their love, and the auction started at 100 million yuan. ”
One hundred million!
Zhang Xu was suddenly shocked by this price, and there was a burst of discussion in the audience. But soon, the discussion was silenced by the sound of quotations.
"One hundred and twenty million. ”
"One hundred and thirty million. ”
"150 million!"
……
"Two hundred and sixty-five million. This price seems to represent the highest price that the other party can quote. But someone immediately refreshed the offer.
"Three hundred million!"
The finale was immediately sold for 300 million.
At the end of the final lot bidding, Lin Zhengting smiled and thanked everyone present: "Thank you friends for your support today, and the next thing is a cocktail party for everyone, I hope you can relax for a while......"
"Wait!"
Before Lin Zhengting's words fell, someone couldn't help but get up and asked loudly: "Lin Zhengting, are you playing with us as monkeys because there is no one in our ancient martial arts world!"
