Chapter 2023: Auction Delays

After Lao Ding prepared everything, the auction had almost entered the second half of the stage, and Zhang Feng's white jade was originally auctioned in the middle of the auction, but Lao Ding and Ning Yuan were ventilated, so Zhang Feng's white jade was put behind.

Zhang Feng sighed with emotion, in Jiang City, the relationship is really important! If there is no relationship between Lao Ding and Ning Yuan, even if Lao Ding cleans up the white jade, he still can't catch up in time.

At this time, Ning Yuan on the auction table had already reported Zhang Feng's white jade, and the next one was the auction of white jade, but there was still a five-minute break in it, and it was Zhang Feng's turn to auction white jade after the small break.

When Ning Yuan was auctioning just now, she suddenly received a message from Lao Ding's dignitary, saying that the auction of white jade was postponed, but she didn't explain anything to her, but Ning Yuan knew that Lao Ding must have his reasons for doing things, so she didn't pursue anything, so she did what Lao Ding wanted.

But now during the break, she was curious and puzzled about Lao Ding's actions, didn't Lao Ding have always been uninterested in this jade auction? Why did he suddenly ask her to postpone the auction? Could it be that something happened? Ning Yuan had the worst idea in her heart, it couldn't be that he damaged the jade!

It is not unreasonable for Ning Yuan to think like this, after all, how could she postpone that piece of white jade for no reason? Moreover, Lao Ding's whole person is like a child, it is really possible to do such a thing "accidentally", after all, Lao Ding has a criminal record.

Although Lao Ding's temper has been notoriously weird since the beginning, but because he does have a set of jade identification, most people still think that geniuses are a little weird tempered, and they all endure it.

At that time, Lao Ding was still quite famous and respected in the jade industry in Jiangshi, and in Jiangshi, either rich or talented, only these two kinds of people could live. Because rich people like to find talented people to work with, the old business at that time was not busy at all.

The turning point of the matter happened after Lao Ding damaged the jade of a rich man who was worth a lot of money, and Lao Ding did it on purpose, I heard that there were some disputes in it, and Lao Ding smashed his jade in order to take revenge on the old rich man.

The old rich man was angry, and he arrested Lao Ding and lived in a prison cell for a few years, and then Lao Ding was released, but the old rich man still refused to let him go, and let him out, saying that if anyone dared to ask Lao Ding to identify jade again, he would be polite to whom.

Then the old business resources were all cut off, and the days were not as good as day by day. He is not the kind of person who will compromise and ask for perfection, and he doesn't care about anything, and if others don't come to look for him, he won't come to the door to ask for it, so he lives in Li*, and he has lived for more than ten years, and Li* has changed two batches of personnel.

For Lao Ding's past, Ning Yuan is clear, for Lao Ding's character, Ning Yuan knows better than anyone else, if he is not happy, he will ignore anything, for Lao Ding, he is a bad life, but Ning Yuan and Lao Ding have lived for so many years, more or less have a little affection, so they don't want to see anything happen to Lao Ding.

What Ning Yuan is most worried about now is that something might happen to Lao Ding and the owner of the white jade, if that incident happened again ten years ago, Lao Ding would really not be able to stay in Jiang City anymore, and if the jade was really damaged, they couldn't afford to pay for it.

Ning Yuan came to Lao Ding's work place with doubts and anxiety, and pushed the door open without even knocking on it, and saw that Lao Ding and Zhang Feng were drinking leisurely inside, and the two seemed to be talking about something funny, and laughed there.

Zhang Feng and Lao Ding suddenly heard the sound of breaking the door, they were stunned for a moment, looked at the door and found that standing by the door was Ning Yuan wearing a red cheongsam, Ning Yuan knew that her worries were blind when she saw this situation, and it seemed that nothing bad could happen in such a leisurely atmosphere, so she leaned against the door with some annoyance.

"What's going on, old man, it looks like it's going to be pretty good, I thought you'd be doing something again. Bai had been worried for so long, and of course Ning Yuan was a little angry, so his tone was also very bad.

Lao Ding laughed twice, looking like that, he drank a lot of wine, and he didn't know how important it was, and said to Ning Yuan: "You are such an upper-class celebrity, such behavior and actions, if you say it, your value will plummet." Come, come and drink, and say a good thing to you. ”

Ning Yuan looked at Lao Ding's appearance and knew that he must have drunk too much, and then looked at Zhang Feng who was sitting next to Lao Ding, she hadn't seen Zhang Feng, so she looked at him twice, but she didn't care.

Ning Yuan ignored Lao Ding's words, and asked Lao Ding directly: "You suddenly postponed the auction of white jade, you have to give me an explanation, if you ask above, I will be mentally prepared." ”

Ning Yuan was relieved to see that Lao Ding had nothing to do, but she was just an auctioneer, although she had the right to adjust the auction order of the auction items, it didn't mean that she could do whatever she wanted according to her mood.

At the beginning of the auction order, a professional auction agency will draw up an auction order based on the auction experience, for example, at the beginning of the opening can not all be the best goods, and of course not all of them can be the worst colors, it must be evenly distributed, so that the audience will not lose enthusiasm at the beginning, or feel that the subsequent auctions are becoming more and more unsightly, which requires reasonable allocation.

Under normal circumstances, auctioneers must follow the order of this process, but the rules are not rigid, since there is an auction process, but the reason why auctioneers are still needed is because sometimes there will be some unexpected situations.

For example, in the auction that opened just now, the people on the second floor did not react at all, in this case, the largest financier of these auction houses will leave at any time, which is not conducive to the economic benefits of the auction house, at this time, the auctioneer needs to adapt to the situation, adjust the order of the auction items, and retain the guests as much as possible.

However, as mentioned before, the auctioneer is not able to change the order of the auction at will, and must write a lot of explanation reports afterwards to explain the reasons for this, if the explanation is not clear, it will be regarded as favoritism, and the auctioneer's line is basically not to stay.

So when someone came to tell her that Lao Ding wanted her to postpone Baoyu's auction, of course she was very puzzled, but because it was Lao Ding's request and her friendship with him for so many years, Ning Yuan stubbornly postponed Bai Yu, if he didn't give her a reason now, telling her that she was just playing with her on a whim, she wasn't sure if she would go over and pick up the wine bottle and smash him to death.

Lao Ding heard Ning Yuan say this, and laughed again, laughing like a child in his sixties, beckoned to Ning Yuan, asked her to come and sit together, and said: "Come on, come on, you come and sit first, and tell you a good thing, after this auction, I will guarantee that you will be promoted and raised, and the boss will be impressed by you." ”

Ning Yuan looked at Lao Ding's smiling flowers and branches, and suddenly felt a little funny, so she walked over to Lao Ding and Zhang Feng's position, and said: "Don't do it, you don't make any trouble here, as long as you don't cause me trouble, I'll be thankful, and I don't expect so much else." ”

Ning Yuan said so, but in fact, she was still a little looking forward to Lao Ding's words in her heart, after all, she had never seen Lao Ding like this, in her impression, Lao Ding has always been a strange old man, don't laugh, it's good not to scold people for a day. But now it's like picking up five million.

Ning Yuan sat next to Lao Ding, just opposite Zhang Feng, Ning Yuan glanced at Zhang Feng a few more times, Zhang Feng was leisurely and comfortable from beginning to end, feeling Ning Yuan's gaze, he also glanced at her, smiled, and said hello.

Lao Ding said to Ning Yuan: "That piece of white jade, you wait and talk to them, double the reserve price of the white jade and then auction it, let me tell you, this will be the jade with the highest auction price in addition to that charity Tang jade this time, you just wait for your boss to give you a raise." ”

When Ning Yuan heard Lao Ding's words, he didn't understand what he meant at all, he was the only one talking to himself, frowned, and said: What kind of nonsense have you been talking about since just now, let's be clear, the small break is only five minutes, and I will rush over soon. ”

Ning Yuan was a little angry, after all, there was not much time, but she listened to Lao Ding's words, and she was very interested, she had already seen all the auctioned jade before the auction started, after all, these had to be done in advance. So she knew that in this batch of jade, there was actually no particularly amazing jade, so the atmosphere of the scene would not be hot or lively, and since the jade was not good, she had to find a way to enliven the atmosphere, which gave her a headache.

But what Lao Ding meant by this now was that the white jade was a treasure jade, but in her impression, she seemed to think that the white jade was not very good, although it was a high-quality product, but it was not to the extent that it could make people scream.

Lao Ding laughed twice, raised his chin at Zhang Feng, motioned for Ning Yuan to pay attention to his existence, and said: "This is the owner of that piece of white jade, you ask him, I also found it just now, if I hadn't found it in time, the club would have lost a historic auction experience." You have to explain to your boss that I have the credit, at least he will give me some dividends, or I won't do it. ”

Lao Ding half-jokingly said to Ning Yuan, in fact, he just wanted to hide his weakness, he had already explained to Zhang Feng just now, and felt that he should not let Ning Yuan know that the two of them were doing ghosts, so that even if the matter was revealed later, Ning Yuan would not know at all.

Ning Yuan will care about Lao Ding, and Lao Ding doesn't treat Ning Yuan and Lan Meng's group of little girls as daughters, but he usually looks like a hanger, and he always feels like he has no heart and lungs, and he can't see that he cares about others at all.

Ning Yuan listened to Lao Ding's words, and looked at Zhang Feng again, her eyes were a little suspicious, but she didn't say anything for a while. Zhang Feng saw this situation, in order to avoid embarrassment, so he spoke first: "You, Miss Ning, my name is Zhang Feng, and I am the seller of that piece of white jade. ”

Zhang Feng stretched out his hand, and of course Ning Yuan naturally reached over to shake hands with him, although she didn't know anything and was puzzled by the whole thing, but the other party was a seller after all, * The club stipulates that no matter what the identity of the seller is, he is always a valued guest.

Ning Yuan and Zhang Feng briefly shook hands, then withdrew their hands, and then said, "Hello, I'm Ning Yuan." ”

Zhang Feng glanced at Lao Ding, Lao Ding gave him a look, of course Zhang Feng understood what Lao Ding meant, they had already made a good confession just now, he just needed to tell Ning Yuan those made up words.
