Li Chen and the others came to the hall, and when they saw that they needed to show a number plate when they entered, they couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't have a number plate, and they had never heard of asking for a number plate when they entered the auction.

Li Chen quickly remembered that Zhou Lao said on the phone that he had already said hello, and it was no problem for the two of them to go in.

walked forward with Ye Jingting, and as soon as she arrived, a middle-aged man with a little fat greeted her.

Came to the two of them, bowed slightly, and said falsely: "The boss has prepared a place for you, please come with me." ”

Li Chen was stunned, it seemed that Zhou Lao was really well prepared, and he sent someone to wait for them.

After following the middle-aged man into the venue, he was greeted by rows of seats in dark red tones, a bit similar to the audience seats in the stadium, but the two could not be compared.

There were already scattered people sitting on the seats, or alone, or whispering in twos and threes.

Li Chen and Ye Jingting were brought to the middle of the front, which made Li Chen a little embarrassed, because the moment he sat down, the eyes of many people in the audience looked over.

The people in the venue were asking the people around them if anyone knew Li Chen and the others, after all, all the people who could sit in the middle of the front row were people with status, and it stands to reason that they should also know it, but these two people have never seen each other.

Inquiring about the identities of the two is curiosity, and the other is to see who it is, so that they can make friends, maybe they have met a nobleman.

Although Ye Jingting's face was calm, she held Li Chen's hand tightly to show her uneasiness, after all, she still knew many people in the venue, and they were all people from all walks of life, so it was strange that they were not nervous.

Li Chen patted the back of her hand with his other hand as a sign of comfort.

There is not much fluctuation in his heart about this, after all, no desire is rigid, no matter how famous you are, it will have no effect on him.

When the auction was still ten minutes away, a person sat down next to him, and the chairs in the venue made an overwhelming sound.

Li Chen turned his head to look, isn't it the fat man Zhao Sanfeng! Only then did he remember how he felt so weird when he heard the introduction of Zhao Sanqian, it turned out that it was because of this... These two don't have anything to do with each other, right?

However, this idea was quickly abandoned, and there were more people with the same name and surname, not to mention that it was not surprising that they were just similar names.

Seeing that Li Chen looked like him, he couldn't help but grin at him, and his eyes, which were already very narrow, narrowed even more, "Hi, boss, sister-in-law." ”

Ye Jingting smiled and nodded, while Li Chen asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

I felt like I was asking a very idiotic question.

Really...

"Why can't I be here. ”

"Natural reaction," Li Chen explained, looking at his fatter figure again, and said with a smile: "You have been losing weight all this time?"

Hearing Li Chen's question, Zhao Sanfeng was excited, "Yes, I insist on running and exercising every morning, I didn't expect that I would be able to persevere, and I would be panicked if I didn't run in the morning for a day." ”

Seeing the fat man talking happily, Li Chen was silent for a long time before he said, "Fatty, I don't think you should lose weight." ”

"The more you lose weight, the fatter you get. He muttered in his heart.

"That's not good, you can't give up halfway!" Zhao Sanfeng's face was serious.

This fat man, Li Chen has already given up on treating him.

At this time, the fat man handed a holding card to Li Chen, "By the way, this is for you, I patronized and talked to you just now." ”

Li Chen took it, it should be a plastic plaction, and the part of the sign is a smooth white round plate, with red 6 characters written on it. The lower part is a cylindrical handle.

However, to Li Chen's surprise, this brand turned out to be brought by a fat man! It seems that the relationship between the fat man and Zhou Lao is not ordinary.

Ten minutes passed quickly under the chat between the two, and an old man in a tuxedo walked slowly to the auction table, and the people below unconsciously quieted down.

Li Chen was quite surprised, he had seen some photos of international auctions, and generally auctioneers were presided over by people in their thirties, but he didn't expect that an old man would be used here.

I saw him pick up the hammer and smash the wooden hammer mat on the table, and the sound of "snap" attracted everyone's hearts.

"Hello everyone, I am the auctioneer who is hosting this auction today, Liu Haoran. After a pause, he glanced at the audience, and then said: "The theme of our Gu Yuezhai's auction is ornamental fish, I think you must have read the introduction before you came, not much to say, now go directly to the auction." ”

This remark aroused the strong approval of the rich people in the field, after all, they were also people in high positions, and they didn't want to hear what he knew again.

Liu Haoran nodded slightly to the side, and soon two people came out with a small cart, followed by a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam and a bumpy figure, and the cart was covered by a square object covered by a red cloth.

After the two employees of the cart went down, the auctioneer nodded, and the beautiful woman standing on the side stepped forward and lifted the red cloth cover, revealing a glass fiber reinforced plastic with two red Arowana in it.

The auctioneer said: "This is a pair of superb chili red dragons, their color is dark and bright, the pectoral fins are symmetrical, the size is the same, the sides are extended and intact, especially the dorsal fin, anal fin and caudal fin, which are large and complete, and the body length is 29cm and 26cm respectively. ”

After the auctioneer finished the introduction, he pointed his hand in the direction of the bathtub: "Now please come forward and watch." ”

Li Chen watched as they all walked up to the front desk and watched around the glass jar, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Sanfeng: "Shouldn't this be an auction in the order from worthless to valuable?"

Zhao Sanfeng looked at Li Chen in surprise and teased: "It turns out that there are also things that the boss doesn't know, and the jade scholar's tomorrow is worthy of his name." ”

"Less nonsense, say it quickly, what's going on. Li Chen glared at the fat man.

"Most of these auctions are like this, first come to a good thing to warm up, ignite the auctioneer's emotions, and then throw a good thing out every few pieces to mobilize emotions, and finally the main person appears, so that the overall auction price can be increased without being cold or too low to sell a good price. ”

And such an operation?

……

Ten minutes later, the auctioneer came to the stage again, "The starting price of these two superb chili red dragons is five million, and each increase shall not be less than 100,000." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone raised a card, Li Chen looked over, it was a young man holding a card, but no matter how you look at it, the old man next to him wants to buy it, thinking that it is the grandfather and grandson.

When the auctioneer saw the sign, he reported the number and said: "The bid on the twelfth is 5.1 million." ”

As the words fell, someone raised the sign one after another.

"The eighth bid is five million two hundred thousand, the thirty-fifth is five hundred and thirty-five, and the seventeenth is five million and four hundred thousand..."

"I'm bidding seven million. A middle-aged man in a suit shouted, causing everyone to look back, after all, the direct addition of more than one million is still very eye-catching.

Of course, it's just a glance, and it's a joke that seven million want to buy these two fish.

… Soon the price rose to 10.7 million, which is almost the limit, and there are very few people still shouting.

In the end, in the final decision of the auctioneer, the price was set at 11.2 million, and the auctioneer was a middle-aged man with a beer belly.
