Lin Xiaojin was completely relieved when he saw the elevator go up to the top floor, it seemed that Old Man Liu really came to participate in the auction.

So, Lin Xiaojin took another elevator and Wei Ruolan also went to the top floor.

The top floor has already spotted a lot of people. The men are all brightly dressed, most of them are suits, and there are a few people who wear Tang suits, long shirts, or Zhongshan suits, which look very stylish. The women all painted their eyebrows, and almost all of them wore cheongsams. There are also a few young women, wearing evening dresses that expose their chests and backs, which look very grand.

After turning two corners, there is a spacious hall that can accommodate up to 200 people.

The floor of the hall was covered with a thick scarlet carpet, and there were many small round tables in the hall, all surrounded by high-backed chairs. The round table and the chairs with backs are wrapped in expensive red velvet.

The guests entered with tickets, and after entering, a group of three or five people sat around the table, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

But Lin Xiaojin was in trouble, because he and Wei Ruolan didn't have admission tickets, so they had to watch outside. Fortunately, this hall uses a double-open door, and now, the door is open, and even if Lin Xiaojin and Wei Ruolan stand outside the door, they can take in the scene inside.

The most crucial person, the old man Liu, was sitting at the round table closest to the auction host.

And the rostrum of the auction is also facing the gate, and Lin Xiaojin and Wei Ruolan can see clearly during the entire auction process.

It turned out that today was going to be a "Chinese coin" auction. Each exhibit is a collection of coins from various periods. There are those of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming and Qing dynasties. The most are from the Republic of China period, as well as various sets of Chinese coins after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The value of these coins was high and low, but Lin Xiaojin and Wei Ruolan didn't care at all, they just stared at Old Man Liu. And Old Man Liu also seems to have no interest in the coins of other dynasties at all. That is, until the auctioneer brought out a brocade box, which contained the largest banknote ever in Chinese history.

As the auctioneer explained, a large picture was already displayed on the slide behind the auctioneer, which was the picture of the banknote in the brocade box.

Seeing this banknote, two people immediately became excited on the spot.

One is Old Man Liu, he finally asked his guard and housekeeper, Wu Debiao, a fifty-year-old middle-aged man who had been sitting beside him just now, to raise the bidding card and start bidding.

And the other person who was excited to see this banknote was none other than Lin Xiaojin. He opened his mouth wide and immediately closed it. Because although he didn't see the banknotes, the picture on the slide was clear:

On the top from right to left is the five words "Xinjiang New Provincial Bank", the lower left is the head of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and the right side is painted with a diamond-shaped pattern, and the pattern is also from right to left, writing "Lu Shiyi Yuan".

This...... It's too much of a coincidence. Lin Xiaojin immediately remembered his failed mission. That time, Jade Rabbit Meimei sent him to a cave in Western Shaanxi Province and asked him to earn a dollar. But he only got this 6 billion yuan note. And after the appraisal of the Jade Rabbit Meimei, this banknote is not enough to buy a handful of rice, so it is not worth a dollar at all.

As a result, Lin Xiaojin's mission was declared a failure, and he failed to get the "Heavenly Realm Spirit Coins" he wanted. But now, he can clearly see that this 6 billion yuan banknote actually appeared at auction.

And what made Lin Xiaojin even more curious was that Old Man Liu actually made a move.

For the first time, Wu Debiao, a guard and housekeeper, held up the auction number plate, and his bid number was "No. 1", which represented supremacy.

The reserve price of this banknote is not expensive, only 20,000 yuan. Wu Debiao shouted to the auctioneer: "Twenty-five thousand yuan." ”

The auctioneer repeated: "No. 1, No. 1 VIP bid 25,000 yuan. ”

Someone immediately raised a sign: "Thirty thousand." ”

Wu Debiao didn't give the other party time, and directly quoted: "35,000 yuan." ”

Another bid of 40,000 yuan.

……

And every time someone bids, Wu Debiao will rush to increase the price. And Old Man Liu, who was sitting on the side, seemed to be very satisfied with Wu Debiao's performance.

Lin Xiaojin could see at a glance that Old Man Liu must have given Wu Debiao a psychological expected price. Therefore, as long as this "psychological expected price" is not reached, Wu Debiao does not need to think about it at all, and only needs to increase the price directly.

However, this banknote, which has the largest face value in Chinese history, has clearly attracted the attention of many wealthy coin collectors. Several people were stubbornly bitten and refused to relax.

As a result, the price of this banknote has continued to rise, from the reserve price of 20,000 yuan, to a full fivefold to 100,000 yuan.

At this time, Wu Debiao's price increase was obviously hesitant, and it seems that the "psychological expected price" given by Mr. Liu at the beginning has arrived.

At this time, I saw Old Man Liu wave his hand towards Wu Debiao, and then made a quick knife to cut through the mess.

Wu Debiao understood, and directly increased the price: "150,000." ”

The audience was stunned. The price was increased from 100,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan at once, which is very rare in the auction room, which also shows the determination of the bidder.

However, this price increase was only exchanged for a moment of silence, and ten seconds later, someone suddenly raised a sign and said: "160,000!"

The auctioneer was also excited. Because a collection is auctioned from 20,000 to 160,000, he can get a commission of at least 10,000 yuan. He repeated excitedly: "160,000 yuan, the 37th buyer bid 160,000 yuan, 160,000 yuan...... Is there a VIP price increase?"

Over there, Wu Debiao seemed to be lacking in confidence again, and he looked at Old Man Liu with an inquiring eye.

Old Man Liu was a little impatient, he suddenly snatched the bidding plate in Wu Debiao's hand, and calmly shook it towards the auctioneer and said, "300,000." ”

"Three hundred thousand?" The auctioneer was immediately frightened by Old Man Liu's actions. After a long pause, he excitedly shouted: "300,000 yuan! VIP No. 1 bids 300,000 yuan! VIP 1 bids 300,000 yuan, will anyone still increase the price? Will anyone increase the price?"

"Three hundred and one thousand!" Who knows, the No. 37 buyer seemed to be deliberately against Old Man Liu, and he actually bid 310,000.

Lin Xiaojin couldn't help but turn his head to look over, and at a glance he could see that No. 37 was an upstart image, and there was a bewitching woman sitting next to him. Although both of them are famous brands, they don't seem to have any taste at all.

This time, it really angered Old Man Liu, and before the auctioneer could speak, he directly called the price: "500,000!"

"Ahh
