Chapter 187: The Auction (Part II)
"Mr. Zuo, if it's convenient, can you help me get a place to participate in the auction? Fang Shen turned his head to look at Zuo Zhongxing.
The red copper Xiaoding appeared at the auction, so Fang Shen only needed to spend money to buy it, this was not taken from someone else, it could be said that it was the best way.
"However, I can only take one person with me. Zuo Zhongxing was a little hesitant, the auction of the Mingzheng Group has regulations, although he has an invitation letter, he can only bring one person into the venue, this time he brought his daughter over, just to let her come to see the world.
"It's okay, I'm not interested in those antiques, Dad, give up my place to Mr. Fang. Zuo Shanshan hurriedly said, she was worried that she couldn't find an opportunity to please Fang Shen, and if she could help Fang Shen at this time, she naturally couldn't ask for it.
Zuo Zhongxing glanced at Zuo Shanshan in surprise, but he didn't think much about it, since Zuo Shanshan was willing to give up the quota, then he was also willing to take Fang Shen in.
Whether it is for the auction houses of the two worlds or Fang Shen, Zuo Zhongxing is very optimistic, and this little favor is naturally a gesture.
"Thank you. Fang Shen nodded to Zuo Shanshan, making the latter smile.
The gambling ship soon started and began to return to the sea.
Zuo ZTE's long-awaited auction also began later.
Fang Shen and Zuo Zhongxing walked into the auction hall together, there was Zuo Zhongxing's invitation there, and no one came out to stop them.
The position of the two is in a relatively high place.
"Is that you?"
Not long after he sat down, a deep voice came from the seat next to him. Full of resentment, it sounds familiar.
Fang Shen turned his head to look. I found that the young man named Yu Ming, who was pursuing Zuo Shanshan, was sitting outside a few seats, looking at him gloomily.
glanced at each other. Fang Shen withdrew his gaze.
This attitude of ignoring made Yu Ming's face gloomy and dripping, and he prepared some words of resentment and threats, but Fang Shen ignored him at all, but he couldn't vent his thoughts, and he was extremely depressed. After snorting angrily, he stopped talking, and at the auction held by the Mingzheng Group, he didn't dare to go wild.
"Do you know this kid Yu Ming?" Zuo Zhongxing said in a low voice.
"I don't know. Fang Shen shook his head. He really didn't have the need to remember the other party, if Yu Ming thought that Fang Shen must attach great importance to himself, he would be too proud of himself.
"This kid is one of Shanshan's suitors, the Yu family has a lot of influence in Shangjing, but Yu Ming's status in the Yu family is not high. Zuo Zhongxing said.
Fang Shen nodded, seeing him like this, Zuo Zhongxing didn't continue.
The auction began quickly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the auction held by Mingzheng Group, and now the auction of the first lot ......" An auctioneer walked up to the stage and began the necessary process.
One by one, the auction items were auctioned off. The minimum was 500,000, and the maximum was not less than 100 million, and none of the auctions were unsold.
"Not very well. Fang Shen smacked his lips, none of the auction items could arouse his interest, no matter how fanciful the auctioneer said, he still felt drowsy.
This auction site is obviously not the same grade as the auction venue of the Two Realms Building, but it is normal to think about it, Fang Shen has put a lot of effort into running the auction house. And the Mingzheng Group, in terms of auctions, obviously doesn't attach much importance to it, and this is on a ship, and the venue layout is worse.
Zuo Zhongxing's long-awaited auction items also came out, which immediately caused a scramble among the rich people in the field, and Zuo Zhongxing also raised his cards several times, and finally auctioned off the Song Dynasty antiques at a high price of 300 million.
"Huh?"
Fang Shen suddenly opened his eyes, he seemed to be closing his eyes in his seat, but he was actually looking at the red copper small tripod with the eyes of heaven, but at this time, he noticed that the position of the red copper small tripod began to change, and he was held in his hand and walked towards the front desk.
"Sure enough, it's going to be auctioned. Confirming this undoubtedly made Fang Shen very excited.
A woman walked up with a copper tripod and put it on the auction table, and a clear picture of the tripod suddenly appeared on the screen.
"Such an auction item, such a ......" The auctioneer glanced at the red copper Xiaoding, and was a little stuck for a while, this was added by the order of Director Su, and there was no detailed introduction, which made him a little short of words.
"This is a mysterious Xiaoding from the deep sea, the starting price is 100,000, and the price increase must not be less than 10,000 each time, and the auction is now open. After hesitating, the auctioneer gave an ambiguous explanation and immediately announced the start of the auction.
The auction venue was a bit cold, and after the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, no one came out to increase the price.
Anyone can see that this Xiaoding is not an antique cultural relic, and it is not worth any money at all.
After a moment of coldness.
"I'll pay 150,000 yuan, hehe, sell it back to my son to play. A fat man raised the number plate in his hand and said with a smile.
The venue rang out with good-natured laughter.
"150,000 for the first time, 150,000 for the second ......time" The auctioneer shook his head, the other party thought that it was for the sake of the face of the Mingzheng Group, and he didn't want this thing to be ugly, so he casually offered a price, and he didn't think that anyone else would increase the price of this thing, and he read it out very quickly.
However, just when the third bid came out and the auctioneer was about to announce the sale.
"Two hundred thousand. Fang Shen raised the number plate in his hand and said lightly.
"Cheng ......" The auctioneer was stunned, halfway through his words, he immediately stopped it, glanced at Fang Shen, and restarted the offer: "200,000 for the first time, 200,000 ......"
"Hey, hey. The fat man smiled and didn't continue bidding, he was not interested in the red copper Xiaoding, but now that someone is willing to come out and take over, it would be better, anyway, he has already shown favor to the Mingzheng Group.
"Two hundred and one thousand. A voice rang out not far away.
Fang Shen looked at it, and suddenly saw Yu Ming's provocative face, as if to say, I will be with you.
"A million. Fang Shen smiled indifferently and increased the price without hesitation.
"One hundred and ten thousand. Yu Ming immediately followed.
"Ten million. Fang Shen didn't think about it, raised the number plate in his hand, and quoted a high price.
Yu Ming hesitated a little, he didn't think that this Xiaoding could be worth a million, the price increase was purely for a breath, and by the way, he was disgusting.
"You have this ability, and you also have the face to chase Shanshan?" Fang Shen said disdainfully.
Provoked by Fang Shen's words, Yu Ming immediately remembered the scene where Zuo Shanshan shouted at him, it had never been before, the reason why Zuo Shanshan was like this was to protect Fang Shen, and Zuo Shanshan threw Fang Shen into his arms later.
His face immediately contorted, and his eyes lit up with rage.
"One thousand and ten thousand. Yu Ming roared angrily.
"Twenty million. Fang Shen didn't care, compared to money, he was no less than anyone present.
"Two thousand and ten thousand. Yu Ming's eyes were red, he glared at Fang Shen angrily, and raised the price without hesitation.
One of the two bid, the other immediately caught up, and the auction price was renovated so fast that it barely gave people time to think, and it soon approached 50 million.
Everyone in the auction hall was stunned, no one thought that an unsurprising red copper tripod would be auctioned at such a high price.
Of course, Fang Shen and Yu Ming were angry, and everyone knew this, under the irrational shouting of the two, the price of the red copper Xiaoding soared.
The auctioneer held a small hammer in his hand, and it didn't fall for a long time, and the speed at which Fang Shen and Yu Ming made a bid didn't even give him a chance to quote.
Fang Shen's expression was always calm, and as the auction price soared, the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker.
"Five hundred million. Fang Shen raised the number plate.
As soon as this offer came out, the audience was shocked, including the auctioneer.
"Five hundred million and one thousand. Yu Ming was already carried away by anger, and every time he made a quote, Fang Shen would immediately shout a higher price, so he didn't even think about it, and quoted a new price.
When the quotation came out, he suddenly woke up and felt bad.
The previous offer was still more than 50 million, but this time it soared nearly tenfold all at once......
This price, compared with the price of the red copper tripod in the minds of everyone, can no longer be described as sky-high.
Yu Ming was sweating profusely, and immediately looked at Fang Shen expectantly, hoping that Fang Shen would take it immediately, and he swore that he would never follow it again.
Raising the auction price to such an unbelievable level has already made Fang Shen pay a heavy price, there is no need to follow, there is no need......
Yu Ming shouted frantically in his heart, but Fang Shen followed the situation of shouting the price, and it did not appear, as time passed, the number plate in Fang Shen's hand was never raised, and Yu Ming's heart gradually fell to the bottom.
"Congratulations, the auction has reached this broken ding. Fang Shen smiled, then ignored Yu Ming, closed his eyes and recuperated himself.
On the side, Zuo Zhongxing couldn't help but give a thumbs up, Fang Shen shouted so irrationally, even he was sweating.
You know, although he is also a big high-roller who spends a lot of money, but those are worth selling, but what is this red copper Xiaoding, it may not even be worth 100,000, and it actually sold for 500 million, which is incredible.
The people at the scene also woke up and understood why Fang Shen made such a quick offer, and everyone's eyes were full of disdain when they looked at Yu Ming.
In fact, this kind of malicious price increase, no one will like it, no one will want to pay more price to auction things, Yu Ming offers 10,000 more than Fang Shen every time, this is not a malicious offer.
Now, Yu Ming has tasted the bitter fruit himself, and it can be said that no one present will sympathize with Yu Ming.
"Five hundred and one thousand for the first time, five hundred million and one thousand for the second ......time" On the rostrum, the auctioneer woke up like a dream and began to quote the price, and the corners of his mouth were curved.
This inconspicuous Xiaoding actually sold the highest price in this auction, which is also a considerable achievement for him, and there will also be a lot of commission.
Yu Ming's face was not so good-looking, and when the auctioneer dropped the small hammer in his hand, his face suddenly turned pale, and he soon discovered a fact, he couldn't take out so much money.
