Chapter 114: The Red of Red Roses
Next, the bald head sold a few more collections: there were antique vases, calligraphy and paintings, and some broken Buddha statues that I didn't know where to find.
I sat silently. On the one hand, I don't know how to play antiques, and on the other hand, during the last bald performance, I concluded that this time the gate was "tailor-made" for me with the ruby.
During the intermission, the bald head sat down next to me with a drink: "How about Xiaofeng, will it be boring and boring?"
"No!" I shook my head. "It's just that I'm too bad at culture to appreciate the benefits of those things. ”
"Hahaha," the bald head laughed heartily, "don't worry, there is a suitable one for you later." ”
"Oh, what is it?" I said, pretending to be dumbfounded.
The bald head smiled, stood up and walked to the middle of the living room.
"Brothers, let's go on!" the living room fell silent.
"Next, I'm going to show you the only piece of jewelry. The bald head turned to get the ruby box.
Someone in the living room was already talking to each other.
"I heard that this gem is worth a lot!"
"Wang bald head still collects gems?"
"If you have money to burn, you can collect whatever is good!"
"I've seen this gem before, at least a million!"
"Huh, so many ......"
The people in the living room exchanged words and discussions, mostly about the origin and price of the ruby. I pretended to be curious and asked a man dressed as a businessman next to me, "Is this gem really that good?"
Without looking at me, the man took a cigar out of his cigarette case, lit it slowly, and took a deep breath. The movements are elegant and smooth!
"Then do you need to say?" the man spat out the words as he mixed the smoke rings.
"How?"
"This gem was originally mine, but this kid took advantage of the fire to rob and rob it. Today we have to return it to its original owner!" the man gritted his teeth......
I'm a little blindsided.
What's the situation? This red rose is not for me?
Wasn't Ruby the bait for this Operation Sparrow......gate? And what is it?
I was confused and didn't know how to answer, so I just gave up.
The bald head said in the center of the living room: "The friends who came here today are worth more than me! I was finally able to take out a treasure today!"
The bald expression is very funny, looking unwilling and childish.
"This ruby comes from South Africa and is a very, very rare blood-colored stone among colored gemstones. As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive. After this object came to my house, I didn't really pay much attention to it, so I just put it on the antique shelf, and it appeared in front of a little brother last time!"
The bald head glanced at me after speaking, squeezed his eyes, and I smiled in response.
"However, my king is bald today...... It's time for this treasure to realize its true value!"
The bald head said and opened the box, the ruby was illuminated by the crystal lamp in the living room, and the multiple facets reflected the bright light, which was really a good thing!
"The starting price, 900,000!" As soon as the bald head said this, the audience was in an uproar, and a person who looked like an entrepreneur who was drinking tea squirted out.
Nine hundred thousand, which is already high so far in tonight's auction. How much does it cost to finish this shooting......
I didn't expect the bald head to be so generous, coupled with the weird yin and yang of the person next to me just now, I thought it would be better to hold the soldiers first.
One after another, someone made a bid.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand!"
"A million!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand. ”
"One million and two million!"
…… The price soared to two million like a wild horse!
And the brother next to me didn't speak.
At two million, the audience was silent. After all, two million is not a small amount, in a third- or fourth-tier city is enough to buy a house, you can buy a luxury car!
In the end, the man who shouted two million looked at the audience with a smug face, looked around at everyone, and his eyes seemed to say: "Lao Tzu is rich, Lao Tzu is willful!?"
Just when I thought I was going to make a final decision, the cigar brother next to me said lightly: "Three million." “
It's really a real person who doesn't show his face...... I turned my head to look at him, and the man had a typical middle-aged man's pig's liver-colored face, square.
Two cold rays of light shot out of the not too big eyes, and they looked very sharp. The hooked nose pushed his whole person into an air of scheming.
Even though he was sitting, he was quite tall when he looked tall, and his hair was shiny and combed back of his head.
"How much?" the bald head couldn't believe his ears.
"Three million, the return of things to their original owners has doubled. Wang baldhead, you have earned it. The man's tone was not friendly.
"Hmph, Brother Chen, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? I don't remember what happened in South Africa?" the man exhaled a smoke ring deeply.
In the mist, I saw that the bald face was bright and dark, very nervous, and it seemed that there was still a past......
"Brother Chen, what are you talking about?"
"Hehe, Wang bald, they all say that smart heads don't grow hair. I think you're incredibly smart!" The cigar man's words completely infuriated the bald head.
"The surname is Chen, you make it clear! Today in front of so many brothers, don't talk and spit out yin and yang weirdness!"
"Hahaha!" the cigar man laughed and almost turned his back on his breath......
"Brother, you're really selective in memory. ”
The people in the living room, you look at me, I look at you, and everyone is not clear about the situation.
"Back then, you were a nobody. Begging me to take you to South Africa to open your eyes, have you forgotten?" the man snuffed out his cigar and got up and walked to the center of the living room.
The cigar man is a full head taller than the bald head, and he has won in momentum alone.
The bald head looked at me nervously, trying to show that he was very nervous about my feelings......
I stared at them with blazing eyes, and the cigar man continued: "South Africa is good, the things are good, the cost is low, and it's still a paradise for fun!"
The bald head nervously closed the box of red roses and put them back on the shelf behind him.
"Why, you're afraid I'll take it?" the cigar man squinted at the bald head.
"Huh! You'd better keep your mouth shut!"
"Hahaha, I'm just going to tell the old story today, so that everyone here can see what kind of person you are bald!"
"When I was talking about business in Africa, you knew that you would follow my ass and lift shoes, and at that time, malaria was epidemic in Africa for a while, and you villain had a bad heart!"
"Ah...... And this kind of thing!"
"Malaria has not been eradicated in Africa yet!"
"That's a damn ......," the crowd below erupted again.
"You kid deliberately gave me the tableware of an infected patient, so that I drank unclean water by mistake! I was born in South Africa, and I didn't have the strength to return to China, and I almost died there!" The cigar man suddenly pointed to the bald nose very excitedly, and he could see that his fingers were trembling, and he hated the bald head......
The bald head didn't say a word, and his eyes were lowered to the ground.
"And you, you despicable thing, took away the ruby that my client gave me while I was dying!"
"Huh!?" the audience was in an uproar...... I didn't expect there to be such a story in this.
The bald head pushed away the cigar man's hand, his face full of disdain.
"Brother Chen, what you said is not authentic! No one has ever forced you to do anything!"
"You ......" cigar's manly face turned blue.
"Yes, at that time I was still a nobody, your business was big, and you showed off your power on the rivers and lakes, we all had to listen to you, and we all had to be angry with you. I really wanted to go to South Africa because I had never been out of the province since I was so old!"
The bald head simply sat on the auction table, which was very hanging......
"I beg you, what's wrong with you? Didn't you agree? I didn't force you to take me with a knife or a gun, did you? You said that malaria incident, so many people were infected at that time, not to mention the locals in the village where we lived, how many foreign tourists died? Why do you just say that I hurt you?"
The cigar man was completely furious, and went up and grabbed the bald neck: "You still want to deny it, you beast who can't die well!"
"Boom, la......" The calligraphy and painting behind the bald head fell into a large piece, and everyone hurriedly went up and pulled it away when they saw this.
"If you have something to say, don't do it!"
The bald head was pinched and coughed violently.
"You, you...... I'm going to call the police!"
When the cigar man heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter was so panicked that he heard it......
"Okay, the thief shouted to catch the thief, I haven't called the police yet, but you called the police first. Go, go, go!"
The cigar man said that he was about to step forward and beat his bald head again, but he was pulled away.
"If you kid had been bolder, you would have dared to pretend to be my identity and swallow all my property! A ruby was already dead to you at that time!" Cigar scolded through the crowd of people who were fighting......
"This red rose is mine, what kind of auction are you doing today, you are deliberately angry with me!"
The bald head was also restless at the other end of the crowd, and his mouth cursed: "Grandma's, it's really a blood mold!
"Who are you talking about? Do you still have the face to say?"
"Just you! You! grandson, it's you!"
The two are on par, and they made a good auction a miasma.
I can't understand it, which is this?
What is the purpose behind it?
